The price was drug abuse, using a lot of divine medicine to restore the power of the Divine Soul. However, this was not a big issue. Nezha was already accustomed to cultivating through spending, and the consumption and recovery state of his Divine Soul was also a good form of tempering.

Finally, there was the greatest gain of this journey: the last wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi. Nezha turned his hand and took out the so-called jade 'Investiture of the Gods'. This thing indeed contained the Power of Heaven, but it was not actually an Investiture of the Gods, just a jade container for holding Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Nezha researched a little and found that he was not very proficient in the Chan Sect's Magic Skill. Moreover, even the Chaos Demon God couldn't open it, which showed how much attention Yuanshi Tianzun attached to it. For a moment, he didn't know how to crack it. However, after thinking for a while, he found a solution. With a thought, he took out the Pangu Banner.

He lovingly spun it twice in his hand and then unfurled the banner. Nezha, like opening a beer, tapped the container against the Pangu Banner, and with a pop, one end of the jade container was shaved off.

Nezha put away the Pangu Banner and nodded in satisfaction. I said the Pangu Banner was the key!

The divine object had a spirit. The last wisp of Hongmeng Purple Qi lost its restraint and directly entered Nezha's brow as if seeing a family member. Nezha held his breath and focused, beginning to complete the final fusion with the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

His Taiyi Dao Palace, according to his planned route, headed back towards the Primordial.

Amid the endless Chaos, outside unknown distances from Nezha's space, a middle-aged Daoist in white sat cross-legged in the void.

Beneath him lay the remains of a massive blue soft-bodied creature, its body beaten into countless small jelly-like individuals. But upon closer inspection, one could see them healing themselves every moment, constantly converging and fusing.

The middle-aged Daoist sat calmly, striking with a Ruyi whenever the too-large soft tissue formed, shattering it into a particle state again.

The Daoist was none other than Yuanshi Tianzun, who had been away for a long time, seeking a Demon God for his disciple. After taking action again, he sat peacefully like a player guarding a corpse in some game, seemingly intent on not letting up until the opponent disconnected!

At one point, something suddenly caught his attention. He raised an eyebrow and sent out a Spirit Light towards the distant void before smiling in satisfaction and continuing to guard.

The Spirit Light was attracted by something, traversing time and space, eventually entering a flying golden crow. At this moment, Nezha was already shrouded in purple intent, still completing his fusion with the Hongmeng Purple Qi. The Spirit Light entered his body, and soon a shadow of the Pangu Banner silently formed on him, and the golden crow form outside the Taiyi Dao Palace paused before changing direction towards an unknown destination.

The disorder of Chaos made it impossible to calculate time. When Nezha awoke, converting to Primordial time units, over three thousand years had passed.

The complete Hongmeng Purple Qi had been fully integrated into him, but he was not in the Primordial. Besides feeling a notable increase in his 'perspective', there were no other overly exaggerated manifestations.

Additionally, his cultivation had reached the edge of a Quasi-Saint and was currently in a state of restraint. Nezha wished to consolidate more, but the circumstances really didn't allow it.

Currently, both of his cores were focused on cultivating Divine Skills without the slightest distraction, fearing he might inadvertently break through the barrier. Actually, ascension wasn't a big deal, but breaking through to Quasi-Saint was significant enough that he hoped someone would explain it more thoroughly. Doing it himself was unsettling.

It was much like Master Ye's love for dragons. When there was no chance to practice, he always thought about how he would operate when the time came. Now, about to actually do it, he feared that he might not perform well or handle it improperly.

Ah, doesn't everyone have a first time!

Nezha stopped cultivating to check the current route, wondering how far away from the Primordial he was. Chaos was still too dangerous; he hoped to return to the Primordial soon.

However, upon looking, he found himself getting further from the Primordial. He scratched his head, unsure of the situation. Had the Thought Demon God sabotaged him, or did he have a third personality?

"Little San?"

"Ah San?"

"Third Brother?"

The empty Dao Palace echoed with Nezha's voice, making him a bit nervous. Could it be ghostly? But wasn't he registered in the underworld, how could he fear ghosts?

As Nezha was trying this out, the Pangu Banner voluntarily appeared before him, and the Yuqing Immortal Light surged forth, revealing the image of Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Master Yuan Shi?"

He didn't immediately trust; instead, he took out the Chaos Bell instantly and asked, "Uncle Tongtian's three main hobbies are smoking, drinking, and which?

A. Fishing B. Perming hair C. Horse breeding D. Playing mahjong"

Yanshi Tianzun's image immediately darkened. What nonsense was this? His Third Brother just enjoyed fighting, brawling, and practicing swords, where did these hobbies come from?

"Kid, if you keep messing around like this, Third Brother will surely stir-fry you with bamboo shoots when he finds out again."

Nezha: ???

Come on, bro, were you just enjoying the show when I got beaten?

Could this broadcast, can the Primordial give immortals a little privacy and dignity?

"Hehe, Master, wasn't I confirming your identity? Chaos is so dangerous, it's better to be cautious."

This time, Yuanshi Tianzun didn't refute, merely uttering 'Come', after which the image disappeared. Nezha sighed; if nothing else, the Daoist Ancestor authentically passed down this 'Come'.

There was nothing more to say, just advance!

In the subsequent days, Nezha relied on Thought Acceleration to diligently deduce the Quasi-Saint Path. Through his efforts, he gained some inspiration.

Solely following the Power Dao to retrace Pangu's old path was impossible. No other reasons; he was too weak, incomparable to old Pangu. To break through Chaos Origin, other methods had to be utilized.

If it's not feasible, it isn't feasible; this is a very real problem.

Currently, Nezha had grasped Taiyi's Inference: Creating a Dao through Force, which resulted in failure, Di Jun's Qi Fortune Skill, culminating in failure, and Saint Taiqing's One Qi to Three Pure Ones Dao, which had a higher success rate than the first two, but the gap between 0.01% and 1% didn't seem very large.

The universally applicable Profound Sect's True Method: Three Corpses Cutting Method appeared to have the highest chance of success. But it's important to note none of the Six Saints solely relied on this method to become Saints. With tons of Merit, it could indeed achieve a 40% probability, but Nezha didn't want to go that way.

Lastly, there was the Three Demons Cultivation Method slyly obtained from Luo Hou, yet Luo Hou was extremely sinister, and Nezha didn't trust him. This was only for consideration to inspire himself.

These methods reveal a rule: the 'Three'. Nezha also required aid from this 'Three' to breakthrough to Chaos Origin, but he hadn't decided on what form to acquire this 'Three'.

If Nezha wished to maintain a complete consciousness, then compared to the Three Corpses Cutting Method which cuts the self, the Three Demons Cultivation Method was more suitable. But not to mention whether Luo Hou was willing to share, the Primordial ultimately belonged to Daoist Ancestor. Practicing this would be going against the heavens.

Nezha could compose himself, but adaptation wasn't about recklessness. He needed more insights and data to refine his thoughts and then leave the rest to power.

With strength, a miracle could be achieved!

No matter the case, he still had a backup route to becoming a Saint through Merit. And when he ascended to a Quasi-Saint, he could be ranked at T0.5 in the Primordial, so he didn't need to be overly hasty.

After drifting for countless aeons, Nezha finally arrived at the region where Yuanshi Tianzun was located. Through the Dao Palace, he looked at a shattered blue aberrant slug-like creature from afar.

By its presence, it was undoubtedly a Chaos Demon God. Yuanshi Tianzun was indeed tough, guarding this corpse?

He propelled the Taiyi Dao Palace towards the dazzling Yuqing Immortal Light above. Within, Yuanshi Tianzun waved a hand, and Nezha's Taiyi Dao Palace submerged into the Immortal Light.

Nezha exited the Dao Palace and respectfully saluted, "Disciple Nezha pays respects to Master Yuan Shi."

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Nezha, nodding. He had been squatting here for who knew how long, partly due to boredom and partly concerned about the current affairs of the Primordial, so he began inquiring about recent events there.

Nezha detailed the major happenings in the Primordial in recent times. Since Yuanshi Tianzun could instantly know these upon his return to the Primordial, there was no need to hide anything.
