Chapter 574: The Great Wisdom Light Wheel! The Earth Dao

Gathering the Great Wisdom Light Wheel was as effortless as plucking a flower.

Since you're going to help Pingxin Niangniang, see it through to the end.

Maintaining the Great Wisdom Light Wheel imposes little strain on Luo Fu.

After Luo Fu condensed the Great Wisdom Light Wheel, he directed it to hover behind Pingxin Niangniang's head.

Bathed in the pure radiance of the Great Wisdom Light Wheel, Pingxin Niangniang felt her spirit grow extraordinarily serene and lucid.

Her consciousness began to ascend involuntarily; the mysterious Dao patterns before her suddenly became crystal clear.

Problems that had once puzzled her for years now yielded answers with a single thought.

Countless inspirations flooded into her mind, colliding with her past realizations.

What had once been profound and complex Dao mysteries now became instantly comprehensible—merely a slight thought was enough to grasp the Dao patterns before her.

With the aid of the Great Wisdom Light Wheel, Pingxin Niangniang's understanding of Dao mysteries soared like a rocket, deepening continuously.

In an instant, Pingxin Niangniang lost all perception of the external world, sinking entirely into the deepest state of Dao enlightenment.

Seeing Pingxin Niangniang's condition was excellent, Luo Fu smiled faintly, ceased paying attention to her, and turned his gaze back to the six clusters of Dao patterns formed by the Six Xukongshi Gates.

The six Xukongshi Gates in their original form could not reveal the incompleteness of the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

Once decomposed into Dao patterns, even a slight understanding of the Earth Dao would clearly show that the clusters forming the Six Realms of Reincarnation were incomplete, missing many components.

These Dao patterns before her were merely a crude framework, with no refinement of details whatsoever.

"Transform the void into substance—creation is boundless!"

Luo Fu had long anticipated the state of the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

Beneath the Three Dao—Heaven, Earth, and Humanity—the Earth Dao is not easily constructed.

Even this crude framework could not have been formed by Pingxin Niangniang without the guidance of the Great Dao.

Not even Pingxin Niangniang, let alone Ancestor Hongjun, could construct it from nothing.

The Earth Dao is not among the Dao paths Ancestor Hongjun excels in.

Had Ancestor Hongjun been able to construct the Six Realms of Reincarnation from nothing, the Earth Dao would long ago have been consumed by the Heaven Dao.

Even Heaven Dao cultivators are not omnipotent.

Of course, for Luo Fu, this is no difficulty at all.

Dao comprehension is Luo Fu's strength; the Earth Dao is one of the Dao paths he masters best.

Behind him, a faint, illusory Dao fruit of earth-yellow and deep-black interwoven slowly emerged.

The moment this Dao fruit appeared, the six clusters of mysterious Dao patterns formed by the Six Xukongshi Gates erupted into chaos.

A powerful yearning surged from the six clusters of Dao patterns.

The Dao fruit appearing behind Luo Fu was the manifestation of his own comprehension of the Earth Dao.

Luo Fu's understanding of the Earth Dao rivals that of ordinary Chaos Divine Demons who specialize exclusively in the Earth Dao.

This level of Earth Dao mystery far surpasses that of the Earth Dao in the Journey to the West World.

Faced with Luo Fu's Earth Dao fruit, the Earth Dao of the Journey to the West World naturally yearned intensely.

Due to the suppression of the Heaven Dao, the Earth Dao of the Journey to the West World had not yet developed consciousness.

Yet the instinct to perfect oneself is innate to all things—even Dao itself.

This time, Luo Fu did not suppress the yearning of the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

He had condensed the Earth Dao fruit precisely to perfect the Earth Dao of the Journey to the West World.

Whoosh!

Luo Fu's right hand gently swept, and the six clusters of Dao patterns flowed toward one another like six droplets of water.

In moments, under Luo Fu's control, the six clusters of Dao patterns formed by the Six Xukongshi Gates merged into one.

Countless mysterious Dao patterns began to reweave and fuse.

In an instant, the six clusters of Dao patterns restructured into a single Dao fruit resembling the one behind Luo Fu.

The only difference was that Luo Fu's own Earth Dao fruit was woven from earth-yellow and deep-black.

The Dao fruit formed by the Journey to the West World's Earth Dao was predominantly deep-black, with only scattered flecks of earth-yellow.

The core of the Earth Dao is unquestionably the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

The Reincarnation Dao is the primary trunk of the Earth Dao.

But this does not mean the Earth Dao consists solely of the Reincarnation Dao.

In fact, besides the Reincarnation Dao, the Earth Dao is also one of its primary trunks.

Only when the Reincarnation Dao and the Earth Dao govern all other Dao paths and coalesce into one is the complete Earth Dao formed.

The Earth Dao of the Journey to the West World is overwhelmingly dominated by the Reincarnation Dao; the Earth Dao component is nearly absent, leaving it severely flawed.

This is normal—the Earth Dao of the Journey to the West World was created because the Great Dao's rules required Wan Ling to reincarnate.

Otherwise, the world would be incomplete.

Thus, the Great Dao guided Sister Houtu to transform her body into the Reincarnation, creating the Six Realms of Reincarnation.

With the Great Dao's guidance, this portion—the Six Realms of Reincarnation—though not perfectly complete, retained a relatively intact overall structure.

As for the Earth Dao, its connection to the Six Realms of Reincarnation is minimal, so the Great Dao interfered little.

The Great Dao is not a nanny; it cannot personally guide every Dao in a world to perfection.

Establishing the Six Realms of Reincarnation, ensuring Wan Ling could reincarnate, was sufficient.

Whether the Earth Dao was sufficiently complete or powerful was never within the Great Dao's instinctive concerns.

Sister Houtu was the Ancestral Wu of Earth.

The Earth Dao within the Journey to the West World's Earth Dao was entirely condensed by Sister Houtu using the power of the Great Dao.

When Sister Houtu created the Six Realms of Reincarnation, she was not even at the peak of Semi-Sage.

Even with the power of the Dao, limited by perspective, one cannot condense much of the Dao's essence.

Thus, the Earth Dao of the Journey to the West World was inherently deficient from the start.

The deficiency of innate quality is not critical; Pingxin Niangniang is the embodiment of Sister Houtu, inheriting Sister Houtu's understanding of the Earth Dao.

As long as Pingxin Niangniang continues to comprehend the Earth Dao, she can gradually perfect the Earth Dao.

Unfortunately, shortly after Sister Houtu transformed herself into the Cycle of Rebirth, the War between the Wu and Yao clans erupted.

Immediately after, the Twelve Ancestral Wus fell one by one in battle; the Wu clan neared extinction and was forced to retreat to the Six Paths of Rebirth.

Without the support of the Wu clan, Pingxin Niangniang struggled merely to maintain the Six Paths of Rebirth and had no spare energy to further comprehend the Earth Dao.

Now, under the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, the Earth Dao cannot even extend beyond the Netherworld; Pingxin Niangniang has even less opportunity to comprehend more of the Earth Dao.

Therefore, over these years, Pingxin Niangniang has devoted nearly all her energy to comprehending the Cycle of Rebirth, hoping to ease the burden on the Six Paths of Rebirth.

Unfortunately, without the support of the Earth Dao, the Earth Dao's innate deficiency renders it inherently unstable.

The Cycle of Rebirth, directly condensed from the Dao, is far too profound and mysterious; for Pingxin Niangniang to fully comprehend it is exceedingly difficult, nearly impossible.

This has resulted in, since the founding of the Six Paths of Rebirth, the Earth Dao of the Journey to the West World having undergone virtually no improvement, remaining exactly as it was at its inception.
