Chapter 32: Hesitating to Merge with the Hongmeng Purple Qi to Achieve Daluo Dao Ancestor
Xia Tian stood at the precipice of a monumental decision. The Hongmeng Purple Qi hovered before him, its profound energy capable of elevating him directly to the Daluo Dao Ancestor level, bypassing the Innate Dao Lord stage entirely. Such an ascent was unheard of and would send shockwaves across the Primordial World.
Breaking through from Golden Immortal to Daluo Dao Ancestor in one step was an impossibility in the eyes of most. Even ascending from Innate Dao Lord to Daluo took countless epochs for most beings. Yet, Xia Tian, as the Crown Prince of the Yao Clan, had a unique opportunity before him—a chance that defied the conventions of cultivation.
If he chose to merge the Hongmeng Purple Qi, his instant rise to Daluo would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Six Sages and countless cosmic entities. Such scrutiny would place him in immense danger, as the power struggles within the Primordial World were ruthless and unrelenting.
On the other hand, delaying the merger would mean forgoing the immediate benefits of unparalleled strength and influence. Waiting for Emperor Jun to ascend to Sagehood could take eons, time that Xia Tian wasn’t certain he could afford. The allure of seizing power now, while he had the chance, gnawed at him.
To navigate this dilemma, Xia Tian considered a third option: bringing the Hongmeng Purple Qi to the Jiuzhou World. If he could ascend to Daluo Dao Ancestor there, it might allow him to avoid the scrutiny of the Six Sages. However, this strategy was fraught with uncertainties:
Synchronisation of Power: Would his Daluo-level cultivation in Jiuzhou translate seamlessly to the Primordial World? If not, the effort might yield little benefit.
Wasted Potential: The lack of significant opportunities and resources in Jiuzhou made it an unworthy place to harness the full potential of the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Such an endeavour might squander its true value.

As Xia Tian walked through the bustling streets of Great Xia’s capital, hidden from view, his mind raced. “If I ascend in Jiuzhou but the power doesn’t carry over to the Primordial World, it would be a waste,” he thought. “Yet, ascending in the Primordial World risks exposing my secret to beings far stronger than me.”
The implications were stark: in the Primordial World, even Innate Dao Lords were considered insignificant before the Daluo Dao Ancestors, let alone the Sages. To step into the grand stage of the Primordial World unprepared was akin to inviting annihilation.
Xia Tian’s deliberations boiled down to three choices:
Merge the Hongmeng Purple Qi in the Primordial World: This would grant him immediate access to Daluo-level power but at the cost of immense scrutiny.
Ascend in Jiuzhou: This path carried less risk of exposure but might not yield the full benefits of the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Delay the Merger: Waiting for Emperor Jun to achieve Sagehood would provide a safer environment to ascend, but the timeline was uncertain.
