Chapter 3261 Qian Yuan Roots
Zhang Qian discovered that if he really wantonly devoured the powerful giants in the final catastrophe, not only would their ultimate spiritual light be infected, but if the number of devoured was too large, the ultimate spiritual light of the people who were undergoing the catastrophe would be completely eroded, controlled by the Five Sources, and become a part of the Five Sources.

In order to avoid this kind of erosion and assimilation, the number of giants in the river must be controlled within a reasonable range, and it cannot be swallowed indefinitely.

When a person who is going through the tribulation swallows the giant to recover from his injuries and restore his strength, he is also in a process of sinking. If he sinks completely, he will no longer be himself, and will completely return to the Five Elements and become a part of the source of the Five Elements.

That kind of ending is almost the same as death.

If there were no such restriction, the primordial spirits created by the Primordial Supreme could all become the Supreme of the Tao, because the primordial spirits do not have to worry about anything. Their limit is the Supreme of the Tao, and they cannot peek beyond the Tao.

The achievement of the Tao is the business of the Original Supreme Being and has nothing to do with these Original Primordial Spirits.

“No wonder all primordial spirits can achieve the Supreme Dao. This legend does make sense. The probability of the primordial spirit family achieving the Supreme Dao is very high. As long as their own origin is strong enough, their magical powers are powerful enough, and their methods are perfect enough, their hope of surviving the final calamity is much greater than that of others.”

Zhang Qian knew long ago that as long as Yuanchu Ling continued to practice step by step, achieving the Supreme Dao was a foregone conclusion.

At that time, he thought that this was the reason why the Original Primordial Spirit was the Original No Favorite. Now it seems that this is not the case. It is because the Original Primordial Spirit has no scruples. They can devour enough giants in the final catastrophe to greatly increase their chances of surviving the catastrophe.

Peeping from a perspective above the Daojin, Zhang Qian monitored the progress of each primordial spirit's tribulation and kept it firmly in mind. He also faced the hurdle of becoming the Supreme Daojin.

This barrier was extremely difficult to cross, and now there were so many primordial spirits going through the final tribulation together, which was the perfect example. By observing them, he could deduce the process of his own tribulation in the jade disc, so as to make the most complete preparation.

Among the many primordial spirits, many are extremely powerful. They are moving very quickly in the final catastrophe. Every step forward will annihilate or devour the four perfect giants of the Tao.

Zhang Qian discovered that the progress of these primordial spirits' devouring was also regular. They would often not wait until their own strength was exhausted or they were seriously injured before devouring, but would hold back and always preserve some strength so as not to put themselves in a truly desperate situation.

But even so, after so many times of devouring, the ultimate aura of these original primordial spirits was still severely contaminated by the source of the Five Elements.

The manifestation of being infected by the Five Sources of Tai is that the aura emanating from their bodies has changed, as if the Five Sources of Tai have taken shape. They are firmly bound by the Five Sources of Tai, and it is basically impossible for them to break free from this bondage.

"I can only refer to their methods of overcoming the tribulation, but I cannot copy them. If I were to overcome the final tribulation, the most perfect way would be not to devour any of the giants in the long river, but to use the power of a single blow to penetrate the entire long river of time. But this is too difficult."

Zhang Qian knew his own limitations. Although he had many trump cards, as well as the supreme altar and jade disc in his hands, it was impossible for him to defeat billions of Dao Four Perfection giants by himself in the final catastrophe.

"I need to think of a way to prevent myself from devouring the giant evolved from the Five Sources of the Five Elements in the final calamity. Otherwise, I will definitely be infected by the Five Sources of the Five Elements and be controlled by them!"

Zhang Qian frowned as he thought about his current roots. He was the Qianyuan Taoist Qi incarnated into a physical form. He himself was the Qianyuan Taoist Qi, which was a kind of Taoist Qi that was on par with the Five Tai Qis. He was naturally qualified to replace the Five Tai Qis, just like the Qianyuan Taoist Qi of the Qianyuan Supreme.

"My Qianyuan Dao Qi can naturally corrode and fuse the Five Great Qis, transforming it into my own origin and strengthening Qianyuan Dao Qi. I think it's the same for the Supreme Yuan. In this way, does it mean that in the final catastrophe, the giants I devour can be transformed into their own origins by Qianyuan Dao Qi before they can corrode my ultimate spiritual light, thus avoiding being corroded by the Five Great Sources?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Qian's eyes lit up. He found that he seemed to have thought too much. These original spirits were not the same as himself. He was the incarnation of Qianyuan Dao Qi.

He is born with the qualification to replace the Five Tai Qi. This qualification is pursued by all the Supreme Dao Masters. In order to obtain this qualification, the Supreme Dao Master did not hesitate to destroy his own world and perfect his own way of destruction, thus gaining the qualification to replace the Five Tai Qi.

However, Zhang Qian and Supreme Yuan are born with this qualification, which is their unique advantage. Zhang Qian is now in the fourth perfect realm of Taoism, but he has obtained qualifications that even Supreme Yuan who has reached the great perfection of Taoism may not have.

That is the qualification to replace the Five Great Qis.

“I think it was very easy for the Supreme Everlasting Origin to overcome the final catastrophe. He was the incarnation of the Everlasting Origin Dao Qi, so he didn’t have to worry about being infected and controlled by the Five Origins. All the giants he devoured in the long river of time could be transformed into the Everlasting Origin Dao Qi.

This should be the reason why he did not participate in the sacrifice. He did not need to remove the Five Sources from infecting his ultimate aura."

Zhang Qian had a clear understanding that at any time, the foundation is the most important.

If the Supreme Lord of Everlasting Origin did not have the foundation for the Everlasting Origin Dao Qi to take shape, when he was going through the final catastrophe, he would have to devour the giants in the long river and be infected by the source of the Five Tai.

He would have to participate in the sacrifices held by the Supreme Lord of Sacrifice, and thus would have no chance to leave behind a terrifying foundation for his own sect and create the behemoth that is the Yuanyang Sect.

By activating the Jade Disc's deduction, Zhang Qian quickly understood everything. He knew that he didn't need to worry about being infected by the Five Sources of the Tai. He was the incarnation of Qian Yuan Dao Qi, and the Five Sources of the Tai could not infect him at all.

The final calamity that seemed extremely dangerous and full of concerns in the eyes of others was actually very simple for him. This terrible calamity did not have the qualification to kill him.

"Roots, roots, at any time, roots are the most fundamental, the most basic thing, which determines almost everything!"

Zhang Qian sighed silently. It was not that he was being pretentious. He himself was a beneficiary of a powerful background. He was thinking about what Li Qingque and the others should do?
They do not have the terrifying foundation of Qianyuan Dao Qi taking shape, but are innate creatures of this world. Therefore, if they trigger the final catastrophe, they will inevitably devour the giants in the long river and be infected by the source of the Five Tai.

"I don't know if my Qianyuan Dao Qi can drive away this infection. If it can, it's easy to deal with. But if not, it will be difficult to deal with."

Then Zhang Qian thought of the Emperor, who followed the path of Qi Refining and refined the Five Great Qis. As long as she achieved Daojin Supreme, she would be the incarnation of the Five Great Qis, and her roots would rise to the sky in one step, becoming a root that could keep pace with Zhang Qian and the Supreme Yuan.

If the Emperor becomes the Supreme Being who is the incarnation of the Five Elements, then she should be able to easily eliminate the infection of the Five Elements' source on the Ultimate Aura.

The Emperor is not far from triggering the final catastrophe. If she can overcome the catastrophe, it should be easier than Zhang Qian!
