Chapter 204: with translation of chapter title

【You sensed Laozi's attainment of the Dao and sainthood, feeling moved, you comprehended 10% of the Yin-Yang principles and 10% of the Heavenly Dao principles!】

【You observed Yuanshi's attainment of the Dao and sainthood, feeling moved, you comprehended 15% of the Heavenly Dao principles!】

【You observed Tongtian's attainment of the Dao and sainthood, feeling moved, you comprehended 5% of the Sword principles and 5% of the Heavenly Dao principles】

Hearing the prompt sound in his sea of consciousness, Chen Ku was already dumbstruck.

Defying heaven!

Too defiant of heaven!

No wonder the Three Pure Ones attained sainthood; indeed shocking the world and offending convention.

On each person, Chen Ku could be said to have reaped a great harvest.

As for the Yin-Yang principles, Sword principles, and the like, let's not discuss them for now.

What shocked Chen Ku the most was the Heavenly Dao principles.

【Within this single day, he had reaped a full thirty percent of the Heavenly Dao principles.】

Adding to his previous comprehension, Chen Ku now controlled fifty-five percent of the Heavenly Dao principles.

More than half!

"Hiss...."

Chen Ku sucked in a breath of cold air, unable to hide the shock in his heart.

This is truly indescribably formidable.

According to his thinking, even when Hongjun Daozu first attained the Dao, it was probably about the same.

Controlling more than half of the Heavenly Dao principles, in a sense, Chen Ku now could, with a single thought, overturn heaven and earth, commanding over half of the primordial world.

This rate of improvement is simply terrifying.

"If one day I could control a hundred percent..."

"Then wouldn't that be... equivalent to the Heavenly Dao?"

This thought was extremely explosive.

Even if other innate powers, even Jieyin and Zhunti etc., knew of it, they would only think Chen Ku was fantasizing, talking nonsense.

But in Chen Ku's view, this is not impossible.

After all, he is currently only a late-stage Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, yet he has already comprehended such profound Heavenly Dao principles.

Given time, his heaven-defying perceptiveness will continue to take effect.

A hundred percent seems not to be impossible either.

And by then, even if he cannot truly be equated with the Heavenly Dao, he would be hardly different.

Such potential and limit are even more shocking to the world and offending convention.

And with such astonishing power, if it were any other cultivator, they would be overjoyed and extremely excited.

But at this moment, Chen Ku's heart suddenly gave rise to a great sense of crisis.

"No!"

"Absolutely cannot truly become the Heavenly Dao."

Chen Ku clearly understands that if he were completely bound to the Heavenly Dao, it would not be a great opportunity but rather a tremendous shackle, preventing him from ever attaining true liberation.

Even if he merely bore the name of a sage, it would be nothing but a flower in the mirror, moon in the water.

Therefore, although the Heavenly Dao principles are strong, perhaps he will be more cautious when using or comprehending them in the future.

Having reached this thought, Chen Ku immediately carefully sensed every breath of his own.

After a moment, he did not notice himself being assimilated by the Heavenly Dao principles, or rather, a trend of being completely bound to the Heavenly Dao.

Only then did he secretly let out a long sigh of relief.

Thereafter, he fell into contemplation.

"As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune depend on each other."

"If I were to use the method of merging body with Dao to drive these Heavenly Dao principles, my strength would become even greater, unmatched."

Chen Ku had no doubt about this.

Without exaggeration, if he employed the body-Dao union, he could mobilize boundless Heavenly Dao power with a single thought.

This, for many innate powers, could also be called a matchlessly bold method.

Even the various saints who have already attained the Dao may not necessarily be able to match Chen Ku in controlling Heavenly Dao power.

In the future, whether for attack, defense, refining spiritual treasures, etc., its marvelous uses would be endless.

After a moment, he gathered his scattered thoughts, his eyes bursting with bright light, his spirit radiant and gleaming.

"The unification of the three bodies of the Buddha is already a foregone conclusion."

"Just await the day when, relying on such foundation, he can in one fell swoop break the shackles and attain the Dao of the Mixed Yuan."

He was full of confidence, his expression resolute.

Not needing too long, within ten thousand years, Chen Ku had confidence he could unify the three bodies of the Buddha and directly reach the peak level of Mixed Yuan.

That also meant that, in the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal realm, Chen Ku had cultivated to perfection without flaw.

His goal was no longer merely the peak of the Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal.

But rather the higher... Mixed Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal!

The so-called Mixed Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal is equivalent to the present realms of the Three Pure Ones, Nüwa, Jieyin, Zhunti, and other sages.

But regardless of combat power, foundation, limit, etc., the Mixed Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal is an existence surpassing the sages.

Moreover, more importantly, for Chen Ku, he does not have only one path.

Even if the unification of the three bodies of the Buddha cannot later break the shackles.

But he still controls many Great Dao principles.

Among these, any one of the Great Dao, as long as one can cultivate it to above seventy percent.

Then, one can likewise attempt to prove the Dao and attain the Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

It can be said that the Heavenly Dao's laws exceed half, causing Chen Ku to undergo an astonishing transformation.

The path ahead of cultivation also becomes exceptionally clear in Chen Ku's mind, making his thoughts lucid, his Dao heart ever firmer, and unshakable.

Of course, although he harbors such longing, Chen Ku still understands the principle that haste makes waste.

He is not impatient; he only needs to proceed step by step, diligently cultivating without cease.

After a moment, Chen Ku suppressed the joy of having comprehended numerous laws this time.

Accordingly, he continued to immerse himself in Dao contemplation, and in the depths, the great supernatural power of "One Dream, Ten Thousand Years" was also unleashed.

With this, he quickens his cultivation speed, and can also shorten the time needed to pursue the Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

The Primordial Heaven and Earth, a scene of tranquil harmony!

The Three Pure Ones attaining sainthood within a single day shocks all beings to an astonishing degree.

In such a short time, such a tremendous commotion is still difficult to completely dissipate.

Moreover, countless mighty beings clearly sense it.

With the advent of the Saint era, the rules and order between Heaven and Earth seem to have become more perfected, more captivating to the heart and soul.

Therefore, naturally no one dares to rashly provoke any dispute, disturbing the world's peace.

In other words, within the vast Primordial, it has instead fallen into a rare tranquility.

At this moment, outside the Thirty-Three Heavens, within the Demon Court.

Di Jun and Taiyi, together with the Ten Great Demon Saints and others, have also returned after congratulating the Three Pure Ones on attaining sainthood.

"Inconceivable, simply too inconceivable."

"The Three Pure Ones are all transformations of Pangu's primordial spirit; now, within this one gate, all three have become saints."

"It seems that from now on, no one will be able to rival the might of the Three Pure Ones."

"Exactly, the Dao lineage of the Three Pure Ones can also be said to encompass all phenomena, obscure as an abyss, hard to fathom."

"In the future, we must certainly not fail to revere the Three Pure Ones as saints."

The Ten Great Demon Saints and others discussed animatedly, unable to help marveling at the Three Pure Ones' strength.

Nowadays, the Three Pure Ones have no grudges between them, nor do they show any tendency to split apart.

Therefore, in the eyes of all beings, they remain a unified existence as the Three Pure Ones.

A single saint is enough to shake heaven and move earth, to astonish ancient and modern times.

Moreover, needless to say, three saints.

Needless to say, the Demon Race's awe of the Three Pure Ones has risen to a new level.

And compared to the Ten Great Demon Saints' amazement and inconceivability,

At this moment, Di Jun and Taiyi both appear with somewhat solemn expressions.

"Elder brother, you went earlier to seek an audience with Saint Nüwa—what was the result?!"

Taiyi asked Di Jun in a low voice.

Before this, Di Jun had once again specifically gone to Tai Su Heaven, intending to meet Saint Nüwa.

And his purpose, naturally, was to obtain Nüwa's attitude.

More precisely, it was to ask Nüwa to side with the Demon Race and contend with the Wu Clan for authority over Heaven and Earth.

For the Demon Race, this is obviously of utmost importance.

Therefore, while speaking, Taiyi's eyes also showed a hint of anticipation.

However, upon hearing her words, Di Jun remained silent.

After a long while, he then shook his head with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Saint Nüwa said that she has entered closed-door cultivation to comprehend the Dao and does not receive any visitors."

Di Jun responded with a single sentence.

Upon hearing this, Taiyi's expression froze.

"Closed-door cultivation to comprehend the Dao?!"

They naturally could tell that this was merely Nüwa's excuse.

After all, it's simply that Nüwa is unwilling to meddle further in the Wu-Demon hegemony struggle.

Or, even if there are other reasons, Nüwa's such attitude clearly cannot become the Demon Race's greatest aid.

Taiyi glanced at Fuxi beside him without leaving a trace.

But shortly after, he secretly shook his head.

If Nüwa's mind is made up, even if Fuxi speaks up, it won't change anything.

After all, saints loom high above; they are certainly not beings they can shake.

The two fell into silence for a moment, the atmosphere rather oppressive.

After a long while, Taiyi suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke in a low voice:

"The Wu Clan is now rather silent; they must be researching some unknown terrifying means."

"The foundation of Pangu's legacy must not be underestimated."

These words made Di Jun's expression even uglier.

"Need you say that?!"

"Who in the world doesn't know that?!"

In fact, the more the Wu Clan appears tranquil, the more it makes the Demon Court's people feel uneasy.

They all know well that beneath such tranquility lies what tremendous storms and waves.

I'm afraid the Wu Clan has developed some method that could rival a sage's.

And if the sage Nüwa does not constantly protect us, the situation will not be optimistic.

Di Jun responded thus.

Who would have thought, just as his words fell.

Seeing Taiyi's face darken, he spoke again:

If we cannot rely on other sages,

Then... it would be better for the Demon Race to also have its own sage.

Only in this way can we guarantee absolute safety.

Taiyi's words were cold and severe, seizing people's hearts and souls.

Such consideration is not wrong.

If there could be another sage stationed in the Demon Court,

Then, in the future, if Nüwa could intervene, the two great sages protecting the Demon Race would be unsurpassed in the world, which would not be an exaggeration.

Even if Nüwa is unwilling to involve herself in mundane affairs, the other sage could become the Demon Race's greatest trump card.

This can be called having both advance and retreat secured, with plans thoroughly laid out!

But his face remained gloomy.

If we could achieve another sage, that would be best.

However, if one wishes to prove the Dao, primordial purple qi is indispensable.

But we do not have it in our Demon Court.

Taiyi lowered his gaze, already completely sunk into a state of contemplation.

Even his repeated muttering was not at all seeking an answer from Di Jun or anyone else.

But just then.

Upon hearing Taiyi's words, Di Jun's expression shifted greatly, as if he had thought of something.

Create another sage?!

Haha, good, younger brother's words are truly wonderful.

Not bad, this is indeed the best way out for the Demon Race.

As for that primordial purple qi... we are not without means.

Di Jun's sudden laughter left Taiyi looking bewildered.

Does our elder brother already have a solution?!

Yet Di Jun did not offer any further explanation.

He merely moved his divine sense, directly summoning Kunpeng to meet.

Soon, the three found themselves at the highest point of the Thirty-Three Heavens, with no one else around.

Greetings, Demon Emperor, Your Majesty, and East Emperor, Your Majesty!

I don't know what orders Your Majesties have!

Kunpeng spoke up, straightforwardly asking Di Jun and Taiyi.

After witnessing Nüwa and others successively attaining sagehood, Kunpeng also racked his brains, pondering whether he too could accomplish some great merit.

Therefore, he had previously not paid much attention to other matters of the Demon Race.

Recently summoned by Di Jun and Taiyi, he also harbored some doubts.

Being in a superior position, Taiyi remained silent at this moment, merely looking toward Di Jun beside him.

And he likewise did not waste words.

His gaze was quite stern, staring at Kunpeng as he spoke in a low voice:

Kunpeng, Demon Master, are you willing to prove the Dao and become a sage?!

Upon hearing this, Kunpeng was still slightly startled.

But immediately after, his expression shifted greatly.

Prove the Dao and become a sage?

Your Majesty, do you perhaps have a way to help me become a sage?!

Kunpeng's heart pounded wildly.

Although he still did not know what Di Jun meant by these words,

but the four words "prove the Dao and become a sage" were incredibly tempting for Kunpeng, making him unable to stay calm.

On the other side, upon hearing Kunpeng's inquiry,

Di Jun nodded slightly.

In an instant, Kunpeng became even more moved!
