Chapter 209: with translation of chapter title
209. Chapter 206 Back on the road again, a new world
Hearing Panguang's words, everyone's brows furrowed; they really hadn't thought carefully about this matter, but upon hearing Panguang's words again, they realized: if there are no other worlds in Chaos, why does the Great Dao exist?
"It seems our horizons are still too short." Nüwa sighed.
Panguang looked at everyone, smiling, said: "This is normal, because you are Heavenly Dao sages, you are bound by the Primordial Heavenly Dao, so in your eyes there is only the Primordial world; in your view, Chaos is merely Chaos, of course, you also are not without opportunity to transcend the Heavenly Dao."
"Is that true?" Upon hearing Panguang's words, the three's eyes lit up instantly.
"That's right, the specifics I can't tell you now; when the time comes, you will know." Panguang said with a smile.
After Pangu recovers, he will surely take back the Primordial world; then it will be the time for these sages to transcend the Heavenly Dao; at that time, Panguang should give them this opportunity.
Although Panguang didn't specify the reason, Zhenyuanzi and the others know Panguang wouldn't deceive himself; from the fact that he can communicate like this now, they have already been able to confirm the truth of this matter.
Actually they could also guess some things, such as the Heavenly Dao!
The matter of Panguang's great battle with the Heavenly Dao had long spread among the sages, and the fact that the Primordial world had changed to a new Heavenly Dao was also known to the sages; Zhenyuanzi and the others were no exception.
So when Panguang said you also are not without opportunity to transcend the Heavenly Dao, the first thing they thought of was the Heavenly Dao; the current Heavenly Dao has been wiped clean of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires by Panguang, at least that's what they think.
The Heavenly Dao stripped of emotions is currently relatively weak, and its control over the Primordial world is not strong; if they take advantage of this gap to cultivate, they also are not without opportunity to transcend the Heavenly Dao—this is what Zhenyuanzi and the few others currently think.
"Fellow Daoists, strive in cultivation; miss this opportunity and thereafter there will be no possibility of transcendence." Panguang said very seriously to everyone.
After Pangu recovers and takes control of the Primordial world, if Zhenyuanzi and the others then want to transcend, there truly will be no opportunity at all; at that time Panguang will absolutely not allow anyone to transcend.
Because these people will all become the source of Pangu's power; only when Pangu has not yet taken control of the Primordial world, by striving in cultivation, can there be a chance to transcend.
"Many thanks, Daoist!" Nüwa said first, then directly left Panguang's place.
Since Panguang has said such, Nüwa decided to go into closed-door cultivation; if her strength does not increase, she will absolutely not leave seclusion.
After Zhenyuanzi and Minghe Laozi exchanged with Panguang for a while, they also left; their strength still lags far behind Nüwa and the others; if they do not strive, among those who ultimately transcend the Heavenly Dao, they certainly will not be included.
"Since they have started cultivating, I'll continue exploring the world; I don't know whether Yangmei and Hongjun have found a new world." Panguang muttered to himself.
After saying that, Panguang again set foot on the road to seek new worlds; Yangmei and the others, although they knew the method of observing Chaos qi flow speed to explore worlds, after all they had never truly contacted the world origin.
Initially, the world origin of the Demon Realm was mixed with too much Chaos qi, and the Demon Realm's world origin is quite similar to that of the Primordial; even if they comprehended it, it would be of little use, at least not much use to Hongjun.
But Panguang has already contacted the origins of two worlds; he has experience that Yangmei and the others lack, so when exploring the Primordial, he has advantages they lack.
After leaving the dojo, Panguang casually picked a direction and flew there; along the way, he observed the changes in Chaos qi while sensing the aura of the world origin within Chaos.
Soon, Panguang detected an anomaly to his left front: the Chaos qi flow speed there was somewhat faster than in other directions, and there was a trace of world origin aura in that direction.
Following that direction, soon Panguang saw what he wanted: a Chaos vortex, which is the sign of a world.
However, Panguang did not rashly enter this world, because this world differs from the previous two; in Chaos it is actually the first silver-white vortex.
The two worlds previously explored showed grayish murky vortices; even the Primordial world had only a pale grayish-white hue, but the world before him is bright silver, indicating it is quite extraordinary.
Moreover, although Panguang had arrived outside this world, he sensed only a faint trace of world origin aura; knowing that the closer one gets to a world, the clearer the world origin aura should be, here it is an anomaly.
"It seems this world is not ordinary; its level is definitely higher than that of the Primordial world." Panguang evaluated it in his mind.
To be safe, Panguang restrained his aura all over, then enveloped his whole body with Chaos qi, and entered this world cautiously.
After entering this world, Panguang landed in a valley; that was the relatively safe place he saw first upon entering the world.
After entering the valley, before Panguang could catch his breath, a pressure ten times, even a hundred times stronger than the Primordial Heavenly Dao suddenly descended upon him.
He was caught off guard and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
At the moment Panguang was injured, a strange energy rushed into his sea of consciousness in an extremely overbearing way, then imprinted upon his primordial spirit; by the time he reacted, it was already too late.
"What a strong Heavenly Dao force!" Panguang wiped the blood from his mouth corner and muttered.
After saying that, he began to observe the mark in his primordial spirit; the mark does him no harm, its existence is like a beacon or a sort of surveillance, because Panguang can sense a faint feeling of being watched from it.
"Is this a case of falling in a gutter?" Panguang originally wanted to refine the mark, but he found his strength, while able to affect it slightly, is too weak; to refine the mark would require at least two hundred years, which is basically impossible.
"Looks like I'll have to live in this world for the next two hundred years." Panguang gave a wry smile.
As his words fell, a surge of power suddenly burst from the mark; after it appeared, Panguang's aura began to rapidly weaken, finally settling around the peak of Quasi-Saint.
"Damn it!" Feeling his current strength, Panguang's face instantly darkened.
He never expected that the Heavenly Dao imprint of this world would strike him like this at the end; once his cultivation is suppressed, many things become impossible to do!
But now things have turned out this way; at present, without five hundred years, Panguang would truly find it hard to refine this imprint.
While Panguang was agonizing, a human voice suddenly came from afar; hearing it, he hurriedly flew toward that direction.
Although this Heavenly Dao imprint suppresses Panguang's cultivation, it also lets him carry the aura of this world on his person, making it much more convenient for him to act in this world.
After a few breaths, he arrived at the source of the voice.
Before him appeared two men and one woman, three people; the woman seemed to be being chased by the two men.
Their three strengths are not strong; according to Primordial terminology, their cultivation is roughly that of Xuan Immortals; with Panguang's current Quasi-Saint peak cultivation, rescuing the woman would be easy, yet he chose not to act, at least until he clarifies the situation, he will not intervene.
"Jiang Ruoxi, you can't escape; why not just obey obediently?" the scar‑eyed man behind the woman sneered.
"Exactly, this is a forbidden zone; go further in and we won't even need to lift a hand—you'll die in there." the gaunt man beside the scar‑face said.
"Even if I am killed by the monsters in the forbidden zone, I won't make it easy for you." Jiang Ruoxi, the woman so named, turned her head to the two men and said that, then her speed increased a bit.
"Forbidden zone? This is actually this world's forbidden zone, but what dangers lie inside?" Panguang, hearing the trio's dialogue, felt doubtful; if this is a forbidden zone, why does he feel nothing at all?
At the moment Panguang was doubtful, a withered, yellowish arm suddenly extended from the trunk of the tree beside him; it appeared silently, and even Panguang didn't notice it.
Just as that arm was about to reach Panguang, he backhandedly grabbed it, then pulled hard, and a roughly three‑foot‑tall humanoid figure appeared before him.
This thing has a human head and limbs, but its whole body is that kind of withered wood, looking very strange; the most puzzling thing for Panguang was discovering that it possesses human soul fluctuations—meaning this thing is actually a person.
"This Wan'er is actually a person? How is that possible?" Panguang was somewhat dazed.
The commotion he just made alerted Jiang Ruoxi and the three; they all stopped their steps and then turned to look at Panguang.
"What person?" the scar‑face frowned and shouted coldly.
"Do you know what this is?" Panguang, seeing they had noticed him, no longer concealed his form.
"Wood Spirit Tribe!" the scar‑face, upon seeing the humanoid creature in Panguang's hand, gave a strange cry and retreated several dozen meters, putting distance between himself and Panguang.
His companions likewise, upon seeing the thing in Panguang's hand, hastily retreated several dozen meters, then regarded Panguang with a complex gaze.
This is a gaze mixed with teasing and regret; among these two gazes, Pan Huang also saw a hint of admiration.
"Wood Spirit Tribe? What is that?" Pan Huang asked.
"I don't know who you are, senior?" When Jiang Ruoxi saw Pan Huang, she instinctively wanted to retreat, but reason made her pull back her steps.
"Who I am doesn't matter; I just want to know what this thing is." Looking at the humanoid creature in his hand, Pan Huang asked.
"Replying, senior, this is a Wood Spirit!" Jiang Ruoxi quickly explained.
"Tell me in detail!" Pan Huang gestured for Jiang Ruoxi to elaborate.
"Our location is Nether Soul Canyon, and the Wood Spirit in your hand, senior, is the product of the combination of souls and spirit wood in Nether Soul Canyon."
"Interesting!" After hearing Jiang Ruoxi's explanation, Pan Huang laughed and said.
"Senior, the Wood Spirit Tribe occupies a very large proportion in Nether Soul Canyon; their forces cover ninety percent of Nether Soul Canyon, so senior." Jiang Ruoxi looked at Pan Huang and said politely.
"Oh!" Pan Huang nodded.
The next second, under the horrified gazes of Jiang Ruoxi and the two men, Pan Huang crushed the Wood Spirit's head.
After crushing the Wood Forest's head, a light purple soul appeared in his hand.
"Huh! This soul isn't deep blue; it's really strange!" Pan Huang exclaimed in surprise.
"Run!" Seeing this, the two men glanced at each other and fled without looking back the next second.
Seeing the two men flee, Jiang Ruoxi also wanted to escape, but in the end she stayed, because by now fleeing was meaningless; she likely also had the Wood Spirit Tribe's special pheromone on her.
With this pheromone, no matter if one flees to the ends of the earth, the Wood Spirit Tribe will find them, then suck them into a husk, and finally turn them into one of them.
After observing for a while, Pan Huang found that besides possessing a power not belonging to soul spirits, the soul had nothing special, so he crushed it.
"You don't seem very happy?" After crushing the soul, Pan Huang noticed Jiang Ruoxi's complexion looked bad and asked.
"Senior, the Wood Spirit Tribe's power almost covers the entire God Wasteland; now I likely have the tribe's unique pheromone on me, and unless I have absolute strength, I cannot escape their pursuit." Jiang Ruoxi looked at Pan Huang, her voice trembling with tears.
"God Wasteland? Is that the name of this world?" Pan Huang thought.
"Introduce this world to me; tell me what you know clearly, and I'll guarantee your safety." Pan Huang said to Jiang Ruoxi.
"Huh?" Jiang Ruoxi didn't react for a moment.
Pan Huang said nothing, just silently gazing at Jiang Ruoxi; Jiang Ruoxi, being looked at like that, froze for a few breaths before reacting.
Although she didn't know why Pan Huang asked that, since she could survive, she didn't bother with anything else.
"Senior, this world is called God Wasteland, the God Wasteland World; it is said that this world was opened up by the Primordial God Wasteland." Jiang Ruoxi began to introduce it to Pan Huang.
Afterwards, Jiang Ruoxi detailedly introduced this world to Pan Huang; Pan Huang listened, feeling a surge of surprise, because he was very familiar with her introduction, as what she described was extremely similar to what happens in the Primordial Chaos World.
Aside from some minor differences, the God Wasteland World is just a copy of the Primordial Chaos; no, the Primordial Chaos is a copy of the God Wasteland World; the reason I say this is because the God Wasteland World is much stronger than the Primordial Chaos World. (End of chapter)
