Chapter 320
The original Luo Fu was, under certain circumstances, somewhat incomplete.
But now, with these Wan Ling carrying Luo Fu's own true spirit aura, Luo Fu himself is becoming increasingly perfected.
Both body and soul now exude a sense of primordial unity.
One could say that at this moment, Luo Fu has embarked on a path different from that of the Great Golden Immortals of the Primordial World.
Those Great Golden Immortals merely fused their soul and body to some degree, ultimately merging into the power of the Dao to break through.
To some extent.
The Great Golden Immortals of the Primordial World also consolidated everything, but it was a form of power application.
Compared to the Jin Xian layer, the Great Jin Xian layer represents a tremendous leap overall.
But Luo Fu has consolidated his past and future, his cause and fate, ultimately fusing himself and taking the truly critical step to become a Great Jin Xian.
The two are different.
But clearly, as Luo Fu's aura continues to swell, the beings present all know.
The path Luo Fu has taken is correct—it is a newly opened Dao path.
"Detaching one's past and future from the River of Time, integrating them into oneself, transcending all—what kind of Dao path is this?" Emperor Jiang, leader of the Zu Wu, stared in disbelief, eyes wide.
This was because, in the Primordial World,
time was a taboo, and such a thing had never occurred before.
If this were some vast Xuanhuan World, certain top-tier Xuanhuan World cultivators might achieve what Luo Fu has done.
But in those worlds, the original world rules were weak, and time was not taboo.
Compared to the two,
the two worlds are incomparable.
Thus, what Luo Fu is doing now can shock Emperor Jiang.
Because this is something that has never happened in the Primordial World.
"Too terrifying," Ju Mang murmured, "and judging from Luo Fu's system, he has long surpassed the power of a Great Jin Xian—yet his breakthrough clearly has not truly ended."
"Indeed," Sister Xuanming whispered, "this alone proves how terrifying this Dao path is."
"Unfortunately, other Primordial World beings likely cannot achieve this Dao path," Zhu Jiuyin shook his head, "otherwise, Luo Fu might rival Ancestor Hongjun."
"Brother, do you think Luo Fu needs to rival Ancestor Hongjun?" Sister Houtu smiled lightly.
The stronger Luo Fu became, the happier Houtu was.
Her brothers had previously doubted her words.
"It does seem so," the other Zu Wu nodded in unison.
To them, Luo Fu was the Father God.
For the Father God to surpass Ancestor Hongjun was only natural.
The Father God had opened the Primordial World; Ancestor Hongjun had grown up within it, merely picking up scraps left behind.
Among the demonic race,
Emperor Jun, Dong Huang Taiyi, the demonic master Kunpeng, and numerous other demonic gods stared in stunned silence.
They had originally believed nothing Luo Fu did could shock them further.
But Luo Fu's astonishing display once again stunned them beyond their previous shock.
This human Luo Fu had managed to detach his past and future from the River of Time, and now even fused them with his present.
"Brother, can any being truly fuse their past and future?" Dong Huang Taiyi murmured.
Not even these top demonic beings, nor the Heavenly Dao Saints, nor even Ancestor Hongjun, could possibly achieve this.
"If this had happened in the past, I would have said no being could reach this step," Emperor Jun said helplessly, "but this human Luo Fu has clearly shattered that limit—it must be a completely new Dao path."
"Can we walk this Dao path?" Dong Huang Taiyi asked curiously.
From Luo Fu's ever-expanding power, this human's Dao path seemed far stronger than the way they had previously become Great Golden Immortals.
"Walk it…" Emperor Jun shook his head, "this is not a path for ordinary beings."
"Whether using the Heavenly Dao's Lei Jie to open the River of Time, or transforming into Wan Ling—any misstep means only one outcome: death," Emperor Jun said gravely.
Though this demonic emperor could not fully grasp the mystery of transforming into Wan Ling, he could still guess how difficult this Dao path was.
"Thus, it is nearly impossible for any being to walk a Dao path like this human's."
If the Tribulation Crossing of a Great Jin Xian was nine deaths and one life for most Primordial World beings,
then Luo Fu's Dao path was, for most beings, entirely ten deaths and no life.
Almost no being could achieve what Luo Fu has done.
"True," Dong Huang Taiyi said enviously, "no wonder he is a Saint's direct disciple—clearly, the Saint holds this disciple in high regard."
If the Saint did not value him, why would he pass down such a powerful Dao inheritance?
Perhaps Luo Fu's talent is excellent, but Dong Huang Taiyi believed the Three Pure Ones and other Saints must have played a major role behind the scenes.
But how could Dong Huang Taiyi know?
That Luo Fu opened the River of Time, transformed into Wan Ling, and walked a different Great Jin Xian path—
the Three Pure Ones had given him not a single hint.
In fact, even the Three Pure Ones, watching Luo Fu's current display, were utterly stunned.
But with the Western Two Saints before them, the Three Pure Ones could only suppress the shock in their eyes, pretending they fully understood Luo Fu's transformation.
Above the heavens,
Saint Zhunti gazed at the swelling aura below, his eyes gleaming: "Saint Tongtian, no wonder he is your disciple—he has forged a new Great Jin Xian path."
"Absorbing past and future, transcending the River of Time of the Primordial World—yet if he does this, he will never be able to attain sainthood as we have."
From Luo Fu's tribulation talent just now, his potential was indeed astonishing.
Perhaps in the future, the other side also has an opportunity similar to theirs, to attain Dao and become a Saint.
But now, after Luo Fu has stepped onto a new Great Luo Dao, the path to attaining Dao and becoming a Saint like them is almost completely sealed off.
Because the true spirit must be entrusted to the Dao of Heaven, it requires that you originally belonged to the fate of the Primordial World.
Only then will the Dao of Heaven allow your true spirit to be entrusted to it.
But if Luo Fu steps beyond the Changhe, then he transcends the fate of the Primordial World—merging with the Dao of Heaven becomes impossible.
It is like an outsider invading.
"To attain Dao and become a Saint like us." Tongtian Jiaozhu's eyes glowed with expectation. "Zhunti, my friend, I know full well the flaws in our path to sainthood, so I do not wish for Luo Fu to walk our road. Perhaps Luo Fu, like our Master, can forge his own new Dao."
"A new Dao." Zhunti spoke with indifference. "Tongtian, you must know that forging an entirely new Dao requires hacking through thorns and brambles, with no glimpse of the future—how could it ever be easy?"
"Zhunti, you need not worry about this." Tongtian Jiaozhu said. "Where my disciple ultimately ends up has nothing to do with you."
"Is that so?" Zhunti shook his head slightly in regret. "I merely feel sorrow that such a gifted disciple should be destroyed by his own teacher."
"Zhunti, when did you start caring about our disciples?" Master Yuanshi frowned. "Is it because your Weixifang Sect has so few Primordial World beings coming to you?"
"… " Zhunti's expression darkened at Master Yuanshi's words.
Master Yuanshi's words struck right at Zhunti's sore point.
As the founder of the Weixifang Sect alongside Jieyin, he could not possibly compare to the sects established by the Three Pure Ones.
Back when they, as Saints, took disciples,
most went to Mount Kunlun, seeking to become disciples of the Three Pure Ones and others. As for those who traveled to the Western Xumi Mountain, they were exceedingly rare.
Not even a handful—most of the beings who came had mediocre potential.
After all, beings with outstanding potential would never go to the spiritually barren West.
During the Dao-Mo War,
the overall spiritual energy of the entire West was destroyed, utterly incomparable to the East.
Moreover, the reputation of the Two Western Saints in the Primordial World could not match that of the Three Pure Ones.
When the Three Pure Ones attained Dao and became Saints, they simply established their own sects—and succeeded.
What of the Two Western Saints?
After establishing their sect on the Primordial World, the merit and fortune they gained were insufficient to make them Saints—so they made forty-eight great vows.
Compared thus, the difference was clear.
Even beings with weak cultivation could immediately perceive this.
"Master Yuanshi, even if Luo Fu truly steps onto a new Dao, this matter is far from over." Zhunti stared at the Lei Jie above the heavens.
"My younger brother speaks truly. Three friends," Jieyin smiled gently, "rather than arguing with us, you should be concerned about the Lei Jie your disciple Luo Fu must soon face. Although the Dao of Heaven's backlash has not yet pinpointed the target due to Luo Fu's influence on the Changhe, the heavenly and earthly Lei Jie has already changed."
Leaving aside the Saints' conversation, below, Luo Fu continuously absorbed the power of Wan Ling.
He was integrating his past selves within the Changhe into his present self.
