Chapter 223: Dao Ancestor! Authority: The Torch, Assaulting the Main God, Faking It!

"This is a bit too deliberate."

Xi Wangmu and others thought silently.

Unlike the Gao Zhilu they had embarked upon, if one followed Supreme Hongjun's supreme cultivation method to walk the Gao Zhilu, the third realm, the Spirit Returning to Void Realm, would indeed condense a new Dao prototype, but it would be a somewhat deliberate evolution rather than self-condensation.

It was like a program; Xi Wangmu and others had broken through the program to walk their own Dao, while this cultivation method followed the program step by step for growth.

The difference between the two was self-evident.

Whether in terms of strength or potential, undoubtedly, breaking the program and strengthening oneself was the strongest.

Of course, this was already very powerful; after all, this was a cultivation method for the masses, so it could not possibly be tailored to the individual. Even with limitations, for ordinary beings, it was undoubtedly still a supreme treasure.

"Brother, cultivate! We must cultivate! If we cultivate this method, our Imperial Dao can undergo another transformation."

Tai Yi said excitedly.

"..."

Especially Di Jun.

"Do not panic. First, let us look at this fourth realm, and then see the subsequent situation. If it is feasible, it is not too late for us to cultivate."

Especially Di Jun said soothingly.

"Yes."

Seeing this, Tai Yi said no more.

"The first stage of the supreme cultivation method, the fourth realm: the Void Merging with Dao Realm. To refine the void is to refine it with the void; to merge is to become the Dao."

"Strengthen the Hongmeng Dao, condense the Hongmeng source, reintegrate the primordial world into the sea of consciousness. Starting from the sea of consciousness, void-ize and derive it into the other cells and flesh of the body."

"Thereby laying the foundation of the supreme, casting an indestructible base."

"If every inch of the body reflects the prototype of the primordial world, it is initially completed. At this time, gather infinite insights, condense myriad Great Daos, strengthen your own Hongmeng Dao to the extreme, thereby transforming and completely taking command."

"When that time comes, it is the great completion of the Void Merging with Dao Realm, and one attains the Immortal Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian Realm."

"Although it is Immortal Hunyuan, one's combat power can fight even suppress those in the Immortal Hunyuan Luo Jinxian Realm, and can even fight those in the Immortal Hunyuan Wuji Jin Xian Realm. Even if one cannot win, one can still ensure self-preservation and immortality."

Having spoken, the strange phenomena before Supreme Hongjun and throughout the entire Purple Cloud Palace converged to their extreme at this moment, as if sublimating to the utmost, erupting with brilliant radiance, reflecting mysterious divine colors, as if shadowy scenes were flashing by one by one.

Buzz!!!

Wonders were born, mysteries shattered; if suns, moons, and stars surrounded, if all-heaven Great Daos projected, as if Daoist arts were profound, if supreme divine laws existed, as if the Purple Cloud Palace had become the supreme holy land at this very moment.

Although the words had ended, the entire Purple Cloud Palace was in dead silence; even more so, the vast Primordial Continent was incredibly quiet at this moment, as if even the sound of breathing or moving the body had vanished, so that even the drop of a needle could be heard clearly.

Such dead silence, not a crow or a sparrow made a sound!

All beings were immersed in the profundity of Supreme Hongjun's discourse; only those obscure auras fluctuated from all corners of the Primordial Continent, and for a moment, it was as if the Primordial Continent had become Wang Yang's tide, surging and endless.

"Reflecting upon the flesh? Is this laying the groundwork and setting the stage for the second stage? Could it be that a single world is to be the core, thereby evolving billions of realms?"

After all, having already embarked on the Gao Zhilu, the vision of the Primordial giants was self-evident, and they were far from what they once were.

Recalling one of the sentences Supreme Hongjun had spoken, the giants' eyes flickered, and then their expressions changed. If this were truly the case, then the potential of this supreme cultivation method would be terrifyingly immense.

Or rather, starting from the second stage, one truly embarks on the magnificent Gao Zhilu!

"So, is the first stage about building a good foundation? The basics?"

The giants pondered thoughtfully.

If this were the case, then this method would truly live up to the name of the supreme cultivation method.

Truly worthy of being the Gao Zhilu bestowed by the Dao Lord; even the derived method alone possesses such terrifying power!

"Do you have any doubts? If you have questions, speak up. If not, next I will carefully explain the first stage of the supreme cultivation method to you, and you may begin cultivating simultaneously."

After a long while, seeing that beings were gradually coming to their senses, Supreme Hongjun, with a cold expression, spoke slowly.

Although the voice was not loud, to the ears of all beings it sounded like continuous thunder rolling, and even those who had not yet fully awakened were completely sobered by Supreme Hongjun's words.

"May I ask, Dao Ancestor, if what you say is the first stage of the supreme cultivation method, then what is the second stage?"

A being in the Purple Cloud Palace asked cautiously.

"Do not try to run before you can walk. You have not even begun to cultivate the supreme cultivation method, yet you are thinking about matters after the Immortal Hunyuan Great Luo Jinxian Realm? Aiming too high will achieve nothing; think about whatever matters correspond to whatever realm you are in."

"I said that when the time is ripe, I will begin the next discourse, and this means that the Primordial Continent already has a large number of beings who have completely cultivated the first stage of the supreme cultivation method."

Supreme Hongjun said indifferently.

The second stage?

He had only just created the first stage; where would the second stage method come from?

This matter was not easy to explain to beings; one could hardly say, "Hurry up and cultivate; only if you cultivate faster and more can I use your insights to help me deduce the method for myself?"

If he said that, who would dare to cultivate? Supreme Hongjun was not an idiot, so he naturally would not do that.

Of course, it was not that because there was no method he just made up an excuse; what he said was all the truth, and also a warning. Even if there were a second stage now, he would not transmit it, otherwise, the trouble caused by aiming too high would be enormous.

"Please, Dao Ancestor, punish us."

The being who asked knelt down in fear.

"A warning will suffice; let the punishment go. Very well, does anyone else have a question?"

Supreme Hongjun said calmly.

After a moment, seeing that no one spoke, Supreme Hongjun waited no longer, considered briefly, and began to specifically state his insights and understanding of the supreme cultivation method.

In an instant, flowers rained from the heavens and golden lotuses sprang from the earth; as if words containing the heavenly mandate became prophecies, many strange phenomena arose, Great Daos converged and condensed spiritual energy to fall, and mysterious bell sounds appeared like the voice of the Dao.

The entire Primordial Plane fell back into silence, with only Supreme Hongjun's voice echoing through this boundless plane.

In the discourse of the Dao, time has no measure; ten thousand years flashed by in a blink.

Hundreds of thousands of years passed in the snap of a finger; in the Purple Cloud Palace, Supreme Hongjun's discourse had gradually reached its conclusion.

At a glance, all beings on the entire Primordial Plane were in cultivation, with a wisp of aura fluctuating from time to time.

Moreover, all beings emitted a supreme flavor, and behind them, as if a phantom world was gradually being outlined.

In hundreds of thousands of years, all beings in the Primordial Continent had completely switched to cultivating the supreme cultivation method!

Moreover, because all were innate beings who already possessed cultivation bases, the progress of all sentient beings switching to the Supreme Cultivation Method was extremely rapid; after switching, almost all quickly broke through from the Essence Transforming to Qi Realm to the Qi Transforming to Spirit Realm.

As for the Honghuang experts who were already at the Luo Golden Immortal Realm or even the Quasi-Saint Realm, they advanced like a force breaking bamboo, rushing directly to the peak of the Qi Transforming to Spirit Realm, with only a single step separating them from the Spirit Returning to Void Realm.

The Supreme Cultivation Method was originally deduced and perfected by Supreme Hongjun, and its foundation is the Immortal Dao; naturally, it allows the Immortal Dao to switch to the Supreme Cultivation Method more smoothly and effortlessly, a point that need not be elaborated upon.

Otherwise, if the Chaos spoke, would switching cultivation mean starting from scratch? If that were truly the case, it would be a ghost story for anyone to cultivate.

"This lecture is now concluded."

When the final character of Supreme Hongjun fell, in an instant, an extraordinary change erupted!

Voom!!!

The will of all sentient beings gathered, and numerous phantom images appeared; in an instant, a profound and deep aura exploded around Supreme Hongjun, as if supreme flavor flowed, resembling a direct path to the azure heavens and the universe, reaching the endless source.

Auspicious qi and immortal flowers, Dao-patterned clouds of celebration, Zhou Tian treasure light, and clear void divine splendor—numerous strange phenomena were born, and myriad profound mysteries shattered; in an instant, faint lines were outlined and gathered within Supreme Hongjun's brow, gradually condensing into a mark.

Boom!!!

Boundless Chaos behind him opened up, like the separation of heaven and earth, exploding with infinite mighty power; as clouds of misty qi inhaled and exhaled, the chanting of all sentient beings was faintly heard; looking out, phantom images of billions upon billions of living beings appeared behind Supreme Hongjun.

If one looked closely, it would not be difficult to discover that these figures were precisely... the sentient beings of Honghuang!

"My Dao is accomplished!"

His eyes closed slightly then opened; a divine light emitted from Supreme Hongjun's eyes. When the words he spoke were uttered, the mark on his brow flashed with a gleam, as if blessed by something in the mysterious heavens; even though it was merely a few ordinary words, they seemed to contain profound Dao sounds.

In an instant, heavenly flowers rained down, golden lotuses surged from the earth, and countless Dao paths rose with auspicious qi flooding the sky.

"With all sentient beings as the foundation, Honghuang begins; from this day forward, I am... the Dao Ancestor!"

The Dao Ancestor!

The Ancestor who transmits the Dao!
