Holy Emperor of the Primordial Witch Clan

Chapter 10 The Decision of Tongtian

Chapter Ten: Tongtian's Decision

After Xuan Chu's guidance, Tong Tian realized that it was impossible for him to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm by severing his three corpses. However, Tong Tian was unwilling to become a Heavenly Saint and become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao in the future. Therefore, he hoped that Xuan Chu could save him. However, Tong Tian was not satisfied with the first method proposed by Xuan Chu, and although he did not know what the second method was, Xuan Chu said that it would easily anger the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao is not to be trifled with, but just because the Heavenly Dao is not to be trifled with doesn't mean that Xuan Chu is not to be trifled with. Xuan Chu is willing to protect the Heavenly Dao from the Heavenly Dao.

"Thank you, Uncle. Please tell me the second method." Upon hearing that Xuan Chu was willing to help him, Tong Tian was overjoyed and quickly asked Xuan Chu to tell him the second method.

Xuan Chu said, "The second method is to switch to cultivating the Path of Laws. After reaching the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, you can reintegrate the Severed Corpse into your body. However, to cultivate the Path of Laws, you must ensure the integrity of your primordial spirit. To become a Heavenly Dao Saint, you must entrust your primordial spirit to the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, choosing this path means that you can no longer become a Heavenly Dao Saint. However, you are one of the six future Heavenly Dao Saints chosen by the Heavenly Dao. Choosing this path is equivalent to betraying the Heavenly Dao. This is why I said it will anger the Heavenly Dao and even lead to its suppression."

"Hiss..." Tongtian gasped after hearing Xuan Chu's words. He had never thought about this. Betraying the Heavenly Dao was something else entirely. He was not Xuan Chu, who possessed the strength to rival the Heavenly Dao. Not to mention the Heavenly Dao, even if Hongjun made a move, Tongtian would be doomed.

"Well? Tongtian, are you still willing to take this path?" Xuan Chu looked at Tongtian quietly, waiting for Tongtian to make a choice. If Tongtian was timid and backed down, then Xuan Chu would no longer have Tongtian as his nephew, and Tongtian's future would be none of his business. But if Tongtian chose the path he had given him, then Xuan Chu would do everything in his power to help Tongtian.

Tongtian was torn between his yearning for the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and the risk of being suppressed. This made it difficult for Tongtian to choose. It would be better if there were a way to have both. However, as it turns out, you can't have your cake and eat it too. You have to choose one of the two.

After struggling for a long time, Tongtian raised his head with a determined look and said to Xuan Chu, "Uncle, Tongtian is willing to switch to the path of cultivating laws."

"Are you sure? Aren't you afraid of Heaven's suppression?" Xuan Chu asked again for confirmation.

"Confirmed!" Tongtian nodded and said, "I'm not afraid. If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die content in the evening. Moreover, Tongtian believes that Uncle will not abandon me." Tongtian's own determination was one thing, but Xuan Chu's strength gave Tongtian the greatest confidence. Tongtian believed that Xuan Chu could protect him from the Heavenly Dao.

"Hahaha! Good, as expected of a descendant of Brother Pangu, this spirit does not disgrace Brother Pangu's name. Rest assured, with me here, Heaven cannot do anything to you." Xuan Chu was very happy that Tongtian could make such a choice. In fact, Xuan Chu had more faith in Tongtian. Among the Three Pure Ones, Tongtian was the most sentimental and the most genuine. Even after becoming a saint, he could not truly achieve the saint's ruthlessness and inaction. This was the biggest reason for his crushing defeat in the Investiture of the Gods. But only someone like Tongtian could comprehend the true meaning of the laws.

"Thank you for the compliment, Uncle." Tongtian was also very pleased to receive Xuan Chu's praise.

"Tongtian, the three thousand Great Daos all lead to the same destination, but the three thousand Laws vary in strength. Have you considered which Law you intend to cultivate?" Xuan Chu asked Tongtian.

Tongtian thought for a moment and said, "Uncle, I have always been quite accomplished in the Dao of Swords and the Dao of Formations, and I intend to choose one to cultivate."

Upon hearing Tongtian's reply, Xuan Chu shook his head and said, "The Great Dao of Sword and the Great Dao of Formation are good, but they are only minor paths. Even if you become a Primordial Golden Immortal, your upper limit will not be high. The Great Dao of Sword and the Great Dao of Formation can be used as auxiliary cultivation, but they are far from being the main paths. With your aptitude, you can definitely cultivate the Ten Great Laws and achieve limitless success."

"Please enlighten me, Uncle," Tongtian said.

Xuan Chu said, "In the chaos, power is supreme, destiny is supreme, time is supreme, and space is king. These are the five strongest laws. Following closely behind are creation, cause and effect, yin and yang, destruction, and reincarnation. You can choose one of them. However, the law of power and the law of quantity that I cultivate are all-encompassing and extremely profound. Your aptitude is far inferior to that of the ten Chaos Demon Gods. Therefore, even if you spend your whole life, you will not be able to comprehend the law of power or the law of quantity in the slightest. In my opinion, the law of destruction is the most suitable for you. Firstly, you have an indomitable spirit. Secondly, your Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is a treasure of slaughter. If you can cultivate the law of destruction, you can make the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation reach a new level. And the law of destruction does not only represent destruction."

Recommending the Law of Destruction to Tongtian wasn't solely about maximizing the power of the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. More importantly, in the previous life's Investiture of the Gods war, Tongtian, upon defeat, was ruthless enough to destroy the primordial world and reshape earth, water, fire, and wind. Although he ultimately failed, this "better to be a broken jade than a whole tile" mentality was perfectly suited for cultivating the Law of Destruction.

"The Law of Destruction?" Upon hearing Xuan Chu's recommendation, Tong Tian initially resisted the idea of ​​the Law of Destruction. After all, the word "destruction" didn't sound like a positive law. However, since the Law of Destruction was one of the Ten Great Laws, it certainly didn't just represent destruction. But Tong Tian needed to comprehend it for himself.

After comparing the other laws, Tongtian felt that he didn't have many good choices besides the Law of Destruction, so he nodded and said, "Tongtian will listen to his uncle and cultivate the Law of Destruction from now on."

"Good!" Xuan Chu was pleased that Tongtian listened to his advice, so he took out a wisp of the Destruction Law's essence and said to Tongtian, "This is a wisp of the Destruction Law's essence that I obtained from the Destruction Demon God during the Great Chaos Calamity. I am giving it to you now. Once you truly comprehend the essence of the Destruction Law, you will be able to attain the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. At that time, I will help you reintegrate the Severed Corpse into your essence." After saying that, he injected the Destruction Law's essence into Tongtian's body.

After receiving the origin of the Law of Destruction, Tongtian felt his mind become clear, so he bowed down and said, "Thank you, Uncle. Please rest assured, Uncle, Tongtian will never let you down."

"Alright, get up." Xuan Chu waved his hand and then said, "However, this matter is only known to you and me. You must not let a third person know, including Taishang and Yuanshi."

"This..." Xuan Chu's words put Tong Tian in a difficult position. The Three Pure Ones are one, and now that he knows the drawbacks of severing the Three Corpses and becoming a saint, he can't just watch his two brothers jump into the fire pit, can he?

"Tongtian, you must understand that people's hearts are unpredictable. The more people who find out, the greater the risk of being suppressed. As for Taishang and Yuanshi, you only need to tell them that you came to the Pangu Palace to see me. If they are willing to come to see me, I will naturally help them. But if they are still unwilling to come, then don't force them," Xuan Chu said. Xuan Chu didn't really trust Taishang and Yuanshi, so he didn't want Tongtian to tell them. However, Xuan Chu wasn't unwilling to give Taishang and Yuanshi a chance. As long as they were willing to come to the Pangu Palace to see him, he would still pull them out of the fire pit.

"Yes, Tongtian understands!" Tongtian nodded and said.
