Chapter 266

However, in Luo Fu's view, the five-needle pine before him probably had nothing to do with destiny.

But that said, the five-needle pine was still a top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, on par with the flat peach tree and the ginseng fruit tree.

How could it be so easily refined and taken away by someone?

If it were some other ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal, facing this spiritual root, they might accidentally let this top-grade spiritual root escape.

Only a Great Luo Jinxian possesses the ability to capture such a spiritual root.

As for a Quasi-Saint, naturally they would have such strength.

But unfortunately, the five-needle pine had encountered no ordinary person—it was a monster who possessed Heavenly Dao-level comprehension, and had received the inheritances of three Saints as well as the inheritance of Pangu.

This kind of monster.

Had never appeared in the past Primordial World.

In the future, it likely could not be born either.

Unless another transmigrator appeared, and the system they obtained was stronger than Luo Fu's.

Although the max-level comprehension Luo Fu obtained seemed, in a way, incomparable to those systems that could conjure up all kinds of treasures out of thin air.

Yet in certain respects, max-level comprehension might be even higher than such systems.

While comprehension rose, Luo Fu had taken all kinds of Great Dao inheritances and transformed them into his own power.

Moreover, as his strength grew, the comprehension Luo Fu possessed would become increasingly powerful.

Now, Luo Fu, who possessed Heavenly Dao-level comprehension, already felt that cultivating within the Primordial World was truly as simple as drinking water.

Wanting to break through a realm was, for Luo Fu, fundamentally not difficult at all.

Moreover, Luo Fu also had a feeling.

As long as he cultivated step by step, breaking through to Primordial Great Luo Jinxian would also be a very easy matter.

This was a feeling, and also a fact.

The Three Pure Ones' Great Dao inheritance and Pangu's Great Dao inheritance gave Luo Fu the corresponding accumulation of knowledge.

Otherwise, if Luo Fu wanted to accumulate to such a level, it would still take some time.

Without knowledge, Heavenly Dao-level comprehension could not be achieved in one stroke, instantly allowing Luo Fu to grow.

It could only be said that Luo Fu's comprehension was originally astonishing, and paired with sufficient Great Dao inheritances.

This was why Luo Fu's strength rose as simply as drinking water.

Therefore, when the five-needle pine encountered Luo Fu, who was merely a Taiyi Golden Immortal, it didn't even have the slightest possibility of escaping.

Not to mention a five-needle pine that was merely an Innate Spiritual Root.

Even those Innate Supreme Treasures, Luo Fu was confident he could keep them.

For example, Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Chaos Bell—if it tried to deal with him at some point, Luo Fu would also tell it what it meant to be a meat bun thrown at a dog: never to return.

Moreover, when Luo Fu's strength grew to a certain level.

Even if a Saint's treasure made a move against Luo Fu, Luo Fu would probably be able to erase the divine sense the Saint left upon it.

One must know.

Even battles between Heavenly Dao Saints of the same level could not achieve this.

It could only be said that Heavenly Dao-level comprehension, that kind of terror, had completely reached an inhuman degree.

Therefore, for Luo Fu, the five-needle pine wanting to escape was completely impossible.

Since he had encountered it, the five-needle pine had already become something in his pocket.

"Five-needle pine, struggling is useless." Luo Fu looked at the struggling five-needle pine and let out a laugh. "Falling into my hands is not necessarily a bad thing."

Luo Fu saying these words was not empty boasting.

If the five-needle pine were in another being's place, at most like Zhenyuanzi's ginseng fruit tree, it would merely become an ordinary top-grade spiritual root.

Moreover, if the spiritual root were in a Saint's hands, it would not be of much help to the spiritual root either.

But falling into Luo Fu's hands, that might not be certain.

The limit of a Heavenly Dao Saint might be just this.

But Luo Fu was not.

Now, becoming a Primordial Great Luo-level powerhouse was, for Luo Fu, a very natural matter.

Becoming a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse also had a very great possibility.

Needless to say, as Luo Fu's comprehension continued to rise, perhaps becoming Heavenly Dao-level at that time would also be a very normal matter.

One must know that in this Primordial World, a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse was only Ancestor Hongjun, one person.

At the same time, Ancestor Hongjun becoming a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse was, to some extent, somewhat opportunistic.

Merging with the Heavenly Dao, integrating himself into the Heavenly Dao, becoming a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse.

Doing so had benefits, and also drawbacks.

The benefit was that if one ultimately devoured the Heavenly Dao, then one could, relying on the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao, leap to become a top-tier Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse.

This was almost a matter of ascending to heaven in a single step.

After all, for a Heavenly Dao-level powerhouse, wanting to raise strength was no easy matter.

This was also true for Primordial Great Luo needing to raise strength step by step.

The Three Pure Ones and other Heavenly Dao Saints could feel that for them as Saints, raising strength was an extremely difficult matter.

It could be said that every step of advancement required spending countless time and experience before it might succeed.

As for heavenly materials and earthly treasures that could raise the Saint layer.

In this Primordial World, there were too few, too few—almost none could be found.

So most of the time, these Saints could only rely on time to grind away and advance.

Perhaps in the vast Chaos World, there would be heavenly materials and earthly treasures useful to them as Primordial Great Luo, but even as Saints, they did not dare to stray too far from the Primordial World.

On one hand, if they stray too far from the Primordial World, their connection to it will sever, and finding their way back would become extremely difficult.

On the other hand, as Heavenly Dao Saints, their strongest power can only be unleashed within the Primordial World.

But if they enter the Chaos World, the Hunyuan Daluo power they can exert would likely be among the weakest.

Attempting to explore the Chaos World with such power would surely end in tragedy.

That is precisely why.

Thus, for Heavenly Dao Saints to remain in the Primordial World is, in a sense, a reluctant choice.

Therefore, Ancestor Hongjun, who has reached the Heavenly Dao level, understands better than anyone how difficult it is to ascend beyond the Heavenly Dao Realm.

If there is a way to leap straight to heaven, why not take it?

Although merging with the Heavenly Dao brings advantages—if successful, devouring the Heavenly Dao would make Hongjun a top-tier Heavenly Dao powerhouse.

But this method carries great danger.

Hongjun, once merged with the Heavenly Dao, would easily become merely a part of it; at that point, he would no longer be Hongjun, but the Heavenly Dao itself.

Hongjun would then become nourishment for the Heavenly Dao's growth.

Moreover, the probability of this outcome is extremely high.

In fact,

within the vast Heavens and Myriad Worlds, there are those who have done this.

They fuse themselves into a world's Heavenly Dao and devour it, turning the Dao into their own power.

This is a gamble.

Once seated at the gambling table, there is no possibility of leaving.

Either you ultimately devour the Heavenly Dao and successfully take that final step,

or you become part of the Heavenly Dao and lose your self.

There is no third path.

It is impossible to regret and withdraw after merging with the Heavenly Dao.

The current Dao Ancestor Hongjun is no different.

Having made this choice, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun must surely stand by his decision with unwavering resolve.

Therefore,

if Luo Fu could attain the Dao and become a Hunyuan Daluo Wuji Jin Xian through his own strength—that is, a Heavenly Dao-level being—it would be an unimaginable feat.

And this is not even Luo Fu's limit.

After all, when Luo Fu's strength breaks through from Taiyi Jin Xian to Daluo Jin Xian, his comprehension will surely grow again.

Even if his comprehension cannot reach the level of the Great Dao, it will certainly surpass his current Heavenly Dao-level comprehension.

That is precisely why.
