Chapter 293

Kun Peng fell into deep thought once more, his entire body going numb.

His expression also underwent a subtle change.

Because, upon careful reflection, it seemed he indeed had these "seven-four-three" problems and flaws?

This damn situation was just awkward and suffocating.

"Kun Peng's situation is unique; whether others transform or change their form, it is ultimately not a conflict of life's source."

"But Kun Peng is different; he is a conflict of life's source. You can understand it as two souls in one body, or rather, he should have been two living beings, yet by a stroke of fate, they were nurtured into one."

"Fused by the mingling of Yin and Yang Qi, he became what he is today; this is his destiny, and also his flaw."

Li Mo said slowly.

Speaking thus, Li Mo paused, then gave another example.

"This point, you can see from the original trajectory; regarding Honghuang-type novels, you should have all read them, so I shall not explain too much."

"According to the Honghuang trajectory, the Demon Master Kun Peng was utterly loyal to you, Di Jun, and Tai Yi, giving his all for the Demon Clan."

"However, look at that final battle; while you were still fighting and had not yet been completely defeated, Kun Peng directly fled with the He Tu and Luo Shu. Does this not greatly conflict with his character?"

"Do not forget, if he were truly a cowardly villain, and your Demon Clan was always at a disadvantage, why did he not defect to the Witch Clan but instead strive tirelessly for the rise of the Demon Clan?"

"Creating the Demon Script, stabilizing the Demon Clan, incorporating ten thousand races into the Demon Clan, and so on; these are all things Kun Peng did."

Having spoken, the small pavilion fell into dead silence; Di Jun, Tai Yi, and Kun Peng all had constantly shifting expressions, especially Kun Peng, whose mind went blank and who nearly sat down on the spot.

"So the Demon Master is split-personality?"

"The Demon Master is actually a lunatic?"

Di Jun and Tai Yi said in a daze.

They naturally did not doubt Kun Peng's loyalty; otherwise, Tai Yi would not have given Kun Peng this opportunity for the Gao Zhilu. If not, wouldn't it have been better for him to use it himself or exchange it for divine arts for all the powerful ones in the Heavenly Court?

It was precisely because Kun Peng was so damn good, working tirelessly and diligently, always rushing about the various departments of the Heavenly Court, striving for the Heavenly Court; this was something visible to all.

How could such a person not be loyal?

But upon careful thought, something was indeed wrong.

So, Kun Peng has two personalities: one is a traitor, and the other is a great loyalist?

Good heavens, they were about to exclaim "good heavens"; having both a great loyalist and a traitor in one person was quite something, simply a marvel of creation.

"..."

Kun Peng.

So, the clown is actually me?

Plop!!!

"I beg Your Majesty to save me."

Kun Peng nearly wet himself; the more he thought, the more afraid he became, and he knelt down right there, his mind going blank, even casting the Gao Zhilu aside.

The Gao Zhilu?

To hell with the Gao Zhilu!

Who needs it anymore?

His own illness was the most important thing; if not treated, he would damn near turn into a mental patient, he would become a lunatic!

"I beg Your Majesty to save Kun Peng's life; we are willing to pay any price."

Di Jun's expression changed, and he immediately knelt down, speaking heavily.

"Willing to pay any price."

Tai Yi followed immediately behind.

"Your Majesty, Demon Emperor..."

Kun Peng's eyes filled with tears, his voice trembling with emotion, almost choking up.

"..."

Why are you so good at imagining things? Did you not think carefully about what I just said?

Also, must it be so passionate?

Li Mo was speechless.

"Why rush? Did I not say that the Gao Zhilu is your solution, and the first step you need to take is... fusion?"

His lips twitched, and Li Mo said slowly.

"Fusion?"

The three were stunned, and then they realized.

Yes, this person just said it, but they were so immersed in the idea that Kun Peng was split-personality that they subconsciously forgot.

So, fusion is the solution?

Thinking this, the three all breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it can be solved, that's good; the fear is that it cannot be solved, which would be awkward.

And it is the Gao Zhilu; isn't that killing two birds with one stone? It perfectly achieves everything in one step.

"Does Your Majesty mean that I should merge my own source, my life's source, into one, thereby fusing, thus becoming my complete self and resolving all hidden dangers?"

Kun Peng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and thought while speaking.

"Correct."

Li Mo nodded slightly, saying: "This is the first step of the Gao Zhilu you must tread: Fusion!"

"Kun and Peng are both your true forms; they are merely separated sources. If you transform, you must change your source. What you must do is fuse the sources, so that I am in you and you are in me, with no distinction between Kun and Peng."

"Entering the sea, you are Kun Peng; ascending to the heavens, you are also Kun Peng. Merging and gathering, naturally perfect."

Having spoken, many strange phenomena appeared, as if scenes were manifesting: Kun swimming in Wang Yang, Peng entering the nine heavens, and also the figures of both fading, as if combining and merging with each other, as if countless profound meanings and mysteries of the Great Dao were gathering together.

Kun Peng's body shuddered; countless images seemed to flash through his eyes. He closed them, and when he opened them again, a sharp gleam had appeared in his gaze. His entire aura seemed to undergo a transformation, as if heaven and earth were turning upside down.

Di Jun and Taiyi exchanged a glance, each seeing the excitement and joy in the other's eyes.

Kun Peng is about to prove the Dao of Immortal Hunyuan!

Even without the Path of the Supreme, this single point alone is enough for Kun Peng to prove the Dao!

After all, do not forget that Kun Peng's origin is split; he possesses two sets of Great Dao power and Dao Treasures. The effect of their fusion is beyond words.

"I thank the Dao Lord for the grace of your guidance."

Kun Peng exhaled and bowed deeply to Li Mo.

"It is no trouble. Continue speaking."

Li Mo said indifferently.

"If your origins fuse and you truly become Kun Peng, that will be the moment you officially begin the Path of the Supreme."

"If the Dao of Space and the Dao of Speed fuse, a new Dao will form. This new Dao will be the foundation of your supremacy. How you name this new Dao is up to you; that detail is unimportant."

"The swift one stands unmoving like a mountain, moves like Seeing Kun Peng, and vanishes in an instant. If you wish to achieve ultimate speed, if you wish to reflect all heavens while only you remain eternal, remember two points: one, fuse; two, combine."

Li Mo said slowly.

"Fuse? Combine?"

Kun Peng pondered thoughtfully.

The Primordial World of today is no longer the Primordial World of the past.

If Kun Peng might have known nothing and been confused and ignorant before, now the situation is entirely different.

Now, having contacted the myriad heavens, many Paths of the Supreme have gathered. Coupled with the transformation of the Primordial World and the support of the Torch Flame, the changes this brings are earth-shattering. Even though Li Mo spoke little, Kun Peng still vaguely gained some realization.

"Dao Lord, I can understand part of it, but there are still many places I do not quite grasp."

"Does 'fuse' mean fusing other Daos, incorporating other Great Daos into the new Dao to strengthen its level?"

"And does 'combine' perhaps mean reflecting?"

After thinking for a moment and organizing the information and realization, Kun Peng spoke and asked.

"You are partially correct; mostly you are wrong."

"To fuse means to take the strengths and strip away the weaknesses."

"There are three thousand Great Daos; every Great Dao has both benefits and drawbacks. For every living being, these pros and cons are different."

"What you must do is incorporate the strengths from the three thousand Great Daos into your own new Dao and strip away all the weaknesses."

"For example, with the Dao of Lei Ting, what benefits you is the Thunder Unmoving Bright King; when it moves, it is like vanishing in an instant. Or the Dao of Fire, where the fire seed never extinguishes and one is reborn through Nirvana. Or the Dao of the Great Sun, which flows endlessly and is Immortal Hunyuan and indestructible."

"This, then, is fusion."

Li Mo shook his head and said.

"I am taught."
