Chapter 665: Has the Primordial Dao Been Attained

Nuwa Niangniang's words carried an undercurrent of concern, which Luo Fu could clearly perceive.

Luo Fu had never looked down upon Ancestor Hongjun.

In the Three Realms, no one understood Ancestor Hongjun better than he did.

Therefore, Luo Fu was well aware that Ancestor Hongjun still held many hidden cards.

Yet, in Luo Fu's eyes, Ancestor Hongjun's hidden cards meant nothing.

In the entire Journey to the West World, the only things Luo Fu feared were Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.

Beyond them, everything else in Luo Fu's view was merely earth and clay, mere spatial extensions of the Dao—he had countless ways to deal with them.

"It seems I overthought it; you, my friend, surely know more about the Three Realms' secrets than I do—how could you possibly overlook Ancestor Hongjun's hidden cards?"

Prompted by Luo Fu, Nuwa Niangniang suddenly realized it.

Luo Fu was no ordinary fool—he was a man who held all strategies in his grasp, acting only after careful planning.

The fact that he conceived of and successfully resurrected Daoist Yuan Feng, Ancestor Qilin, and the Primordial Dragon proves he knew the Three Realms' secrets inside out and possessed astonishing abilities.

Such a man could never have failed to consider whether Ancestor Hongjun held hidden cards.

"Do as you please, my friend—I cannot aid you, no matter how much I know. But I have one more question I hope you can answer."

Fixing her gaze on Luo Fu, Nuwa Niangniang's eyes grew heavy as the Shanhe Shèjì Map.

Clearly, the question she wished to ask was of immense importance to her.

"Ask, Niangniang—if I can answer, I will tell you everything without reservation."

Without hesitation, Luo Fu immediately agreed.

With his perspective, answering Nuwa Niangniang's question was more than sufficient.

"Have you already attained the Primordial Dao?"

Nuwa Niangniang spoke her question slowly, word by word.

As she spoke, her eyes never left Luo Fu, afraid of missing his reply.

Attaining the Primordial Dao!

This was the question Nuwa Niangniang wanted to know.

Not just her—the other five Holy Ones must also want to know this answer.

Attaining the Primordial Dao was nearly an obsession for the six Holy Ones of the Primordial World.

Before becoming Holy Ones, the six believed Holy Ones and Primordial Dao were the same.

Some even thought Holy Ones surpassed Primordial Dao.

After all, Holy Ones existed alongside the Heavenly Dao and coexisted with heaven and earth.

As long as the Primordial World did not perish, Holy Ones would not die.

But after becoming Holy Ones, the six realized the preciousness of the Primordial Dao.

For cultivation, the most precious thing is the Dao.

Hear the Dao in the morning, die content in the evening.

Yet above the Dao lies something even more precious: freedom.

If attaining the Dao requires sacrificing freedom, what use is it even if attained?

The abilities Luo Fu just displayed were not even guaranteed for Holy Ones.

Clearly, Luo Fu could rival a Holy One.

Rivaling a Holy One through one's own power alone—Nuwa Niangniang could think of only one possibility: Luo Fu had already attained the Primordial Dao.

That was why she asked this question.

Nuwa Niangniang desperately wanted to know whether attaining the Primordial Dao was even possible in the Primordial World.

"Primordial Dao? I have not."

Upon hearing Nuwa Niangniang's question, Luo Fu shook his head and gave his answer.

He had not yet attained the Primordial Dao.

Of course, for him, the Primordial Dao fruit could be plucked with a mere gesture.

But he had no desire to become an ordinary Primordial Dao cultivator.

Such a Primordial Dao, he could crush with a single hand.

Nuwa Niangniang's thoughts were clear to Luo Fu.

So he did not let her down—he shifted his tone and continued:

"My situation is unique. If I wished to break through to the Primordial Dao realm, I could do so at any moment. Though I have not yet attained it, ordinary Primordial Dao cultivators are no match for me—this is my confidence in confronting Ancestor Hongjun."

When she first heard Luo Fu had not attained the Primordial Dao, Nuwa Niangniang was deeply disappointed.

In her view, Luo Fu's power was already extremely formidable—if even he could not attain the Primordial Dao, then no one in the Three Realms ever could.

But Luo Fu's subsequent words brought Nuwa Niangniang hope.

"At any moment? So even in the Primordial World, attaining the Primordial Dao is not limited to becoming a Holy One."

A murmured whisper rose from Nuwa Niangniang's lips; her clear eyes sparkled with joy.

Though becoming a Holy One bound one to the Heavenly Dao, leaving no path to the Primordial Dao,

Knowing that someone in the Primordial World could still attain the Primordial Dao filled Nuwa Niangniang with great joy.

For cultivators, the most painful thing is not knowing whether a path lies ahead.

Once you know a path exists—even if you yourself may never reach it—

Nuwa Niangniang still felt the same longing: hear the Dao in the morning, die content in the evening.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao's chains are not unbreakable.

If Luo Fu could successfully defy Ancestor Hongjun.

The so-called constraints of Heaven's Dao thus ceased to exist.

"What I needed to know, I now know. Before I leave Nüwa's Palace, please, Niangniang, alter my memories of that period."

After waiting a moment nearby, until Pingxin Niangniang had recovered from her joy, Luo Fu spoke and doused her with cold water.

The Holy Ones are too deeply tied to Heaven's Dao.

It is hard to guarantee that Heaven's Dao has no means to spy upon a Holy One's memories.

Thus, to prevent accidents, Luo Fu could only make this request, which sounded somewhat excessive.

To ask a Holy One to alter a plan—throughout the Primordial World, only Luo Fu could do such a thing.

"I know, after you leave, I will sever all memories of that period!"

Pingxin Niangniang gave him a long, deep look, then finally agreed.

She was not someone who failed to weigh consequences; she understood fully the meaning behind Luo Fu's words.

Gathering the power of Human Dao to resist Heaven's Dao and Ancestor Hongjun involves far too many connections.

Caution must be absolute; not a single risk can be taken.

Though she did not wish to lose these memories—especially the knowledge that the Primordial World could attain Hunyuan Dao—Pingxin Niangniang chose to prioritize the greater good.

"Sever memories? No need. If you trust me, open your spirit and let me act."

Luo Fu shook his head, indicating Pingxin Niangniang need not go that far.

"Fine! Act then!"

Without hesitation, Pingxin Niangniang chose to trust Luo Fu.

Since Luo Fu dared to trust her, revealing nearly the entire plan to oppose Ancestor Hongjun,

she had no reason to suspect he would do her any harm.

"Steal Heaven, Swap Day; Great Dream, Ensnare Soul!"

With Pingxin Niangniang's permission, Luo Fu wasted no time and acted at once.

With a light wave of his right hand, a dark glow shot from Luo Fu's left hand and sank deep into Pingxin Niangniang's third eye.
