Chapter 352: Pangu: My child, why did you only just arrive!
"Mixing the origin of existence and non-existence is the Great Perfection! I have been taught!"
Daoist Yang Mei listened to Hongjun's profound exposition on "Hunyuan," feeling as if countless stars were being born and dying in his mind, and the sound of the Great Dao was roaring.
His understanding of the Hunyuan Realm instantly rose to a new level.
Hongjun nodded slightly, a trace of smugness flashing in his eyes.
He was confident that he had grasped the essence of the Hunyuan Great Dao, and this time he would definitely succeed!
"Therefore..." Hongjun stood up and said, "Merging with the Dao is my best path to 'Dao Achieving Hunyuan'!"
"By borrowing the power of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, I can experience the 'Existence' of Pangu's creation of the world, and then use my own Dao to reverse-deduce the 'Non-Existence' of the unopened Chaos, and finally, the unity of existence and non-existence will lead to perfection!"
He paused and added: "As for 'Abandoning Name and Discarding Vessel'... perhaps it is useful to other fellow daoists, but for me, it is no longer necessary."
"If one day I can truly achieve perfection, this position of Dao Ancestor should be yielded to the virtuous."
He said this with grand momentum, as if he had already foreseen the scene after he achieved great transcendence.
At this moment, Yang Mei suddenly asked: "'Abandoning Name and Discarding Vessel,' casting aside everything about oneself to merge with the Dao; then, going a step further, can one step down from the position of 'Merging with the Dao' and let someone else take the position?"
"This..." Hongjun looked at Yang Mei, thought for a moment, and said: "Theoretically, it is possible."
"Just like Great Pangu; if a second Pangu appeared and became the Pangu of the new era, I reckon the 【First Pangu】 would have to change shifts and let the new Pangu go and reopen the world."
"After merging with the Heavenly Dao, acting on behalf of Pangu's will, as long as one hasn't directly achieved the Dao of Pangu, one should be able to change shifts."
【This is exactly the same as the Taiwei Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di's guess!】
Yang Mei remembered that when he was playing games in the Spirit Realm, he had chatted with Xiang Xuanqing about this aspect.
Oh, no, no, no, it wasn't me, it was 【Old Man Willow】!
There was a bit of a guilty conscience in Yang Mei's eyes as he looked at Hongjun.
Hongjun didn't see anything, thinking he was thinking about replacing himself to become the second person to merge with the Dao.
"Now, everything about this path of merging with the Dao is just deduction; even if ninety-nine percent of the possibilities are accurate, this last one percent of difference will cause everything to fall short."
"So I have to wait until I truly step into this field to answer you accurately."
Hongjun looked at Yang Mei and laughed: "Wait until I explore the path first, summarize the advanced experience, and then talk to you, Fellow Daoist."
"Now I want to go into seclusion for a period of time to thoroughly integrate the method of Slaying the Three Corpses with the path of Merging with the Dao."
"The affairs of the Dao Alliance, as well as observing the movements of all parties in the Primordial, will have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist."
"Rest assured, there will absolutely be no major problems," Daoist Yang Mei guaranteed, patting his chest.
Taiwei Enclosure.
The gods gathered together to discuss the Primordial.
"Have you heard? The Phoenix Clan's leader is dead, died miserably, not even a bone left!"
On the 【Chen Xing Shang Zun】 throne, the Weak Water Divine Sword emitted a deep blue light, and Chen Xing appeared from within it.
As soon as he arrived, he reported a "shocking" piece of news to everyone.
"I heard, it is said that the Ancestral Dragon is also dead, his corpse lying in the starry sky, and the corpse was snatched back by a big turtle."
On the 【Friend Yinghuo Shang Zun】 seat, divine fire ignited, and a graceful goddess appeared, with phoenix eyes and sparse eyebrows, and an elegant temperament.
"Not only that, the Metal Qilin is also dead." 【Sui Xing Shang Zun】 Fu Xi appeared, stretching his waist and yawning:
"I specifically inquired about it; now the Qilin Clan as a whole doesn't seem depressed, but instead collectively turned grief into strength, actively updating various systems."
"For example, 'Filial Piety Breeds Strength: I Continue Incense for the Ancestors, the Ancestors Give Me a Show,' 'Soul Return: Those Years I Asked the Primogenitor to Fight for Me,' 'Primordial God Clan, Starting with the Primogenitor's Funeral,' 'I Am a Corpse Driver, Only Driving Qilin Corpses'..."
The Taiwei gods heard the reports from Chen Xing and Friend Yinghuo, but didn't have much of a reaction, after all, they were at the scene themselves.
But when everyone heard the report from 【Sui Xing Shang Zun】 Fu Xi about the recent situation of the Qilin Clan, they couldn't hold it together.
"Has the style of the Qilin Clan always been so open?" 【Tai Yin Shang Zun】 Wang Shu couldn't help but ask.
"Pretty much."
【Sui Xing Shang Zun】 Fu Xi said: "After all, this is a clan that can create systems."
"If their clan's style wasn't so open, they probably wouldn't be able to survive in our Primordial."
"That's true." The gods nodded.
Primordial gods, which one is serious?
Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at the main seat.
Xiang Xuanqing was playing with the World-Destroying Millstone.
This supreme treasure symbolizing destruction had transformed into an Imperial Seal, flipping back and forth in Xiang Xuanqing's hands.
"What are you looking at me for?" Xiang Xuanqing held the Imperial Seal and looked at the gods with a smile.
The gods present felt the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di's gaze linger on their crowns for a while.
It scared them into a cold sweat.
"Aren't we waiting for the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di's instructions?"
【Tai Bai Shang Zun】 Zhunti gave a sheepish smile: "This time our preparations were still not sufficient, letting the Immortal Dao Primogenitor Hongjun run away!"
"In the next decisive battle at Mount Buzhou, we must be fully prepared and strive to achieve success in one battle!"
"Hmm, that is indeed correct."
Xiang Xuanqing nodded slightly, "I don't have many instructions for this great battle, only one item—strength."
"Everyone needs to do their best to improve their strength in these one hundred thousand years."
"All means that can improve strength must be prepared, divine abilities, spiritual treasures, pills, scriptures... the more unserious, the better."
Xiang Xuanqing emphasized the last half of the sentence.
The gods deeply agreed.
Now, serious gods have no way to survive walking in the Primordial, let alone in a battle of traditions!
【At that time, we must be prepared with our ultimate trump cards!】 The gods thought secretly in their hearts.
"By the way, I need to tell you some information and methods about Hongjun, so that everyone can make targeted preparations."
Subsequently, Xiang Xuanqing made a simple summary of this great battle and then synchronized the information about Hongjun.
Hongjun's origin, identity, current strength, and some subsequent movements... this information was all recounted by Xiang Xuanqing.
Even, Xiang Xuanqing talked about the comparison between Slaying the Corpse to Achieve the Dao and the principle of Tai Wu.
Even though he only talked to the level of Tai Shi Great Luo, it still gave the Taiwei gods a full harvest.
"Many thanks to the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di for teaching the Dharma!" The gods were sincerely grateful.
Xiang Xuanqing didn't know many details about the method of Slaying the Corpse, but he truly didn't hide anything about the principle of Tai Wu; he told everything that should be told.
He hadn't walked the remaining path himself, so he only roughly talked about the train of thought.
"If everyone has ideas, you can communicate with each other."
Xiang Xuanqing started a topic and took the opportunity to add the "Taiwei Summary Meeting and Great Dao Achievement Sharing Meeting" to the theme of this conference.
"Then let me talk about it." Nv Wa was the first to speak.
She talked about the Great Dao of Creation, and the principle of Tai Su!
Nv Wa's Tai Su Great Dao had the same effect as the Great Dao talked about by Xiang Xuanqing, but there were also many differences.
Everyone benefited a lot.
"Since Fellow Daoist Nv Wa is talking about the Quality of Creation, then I will talk about my Quality of Geng Metal."
Zhunti was full of interest and was the second to take over the conversation.
He talked endlessly, talking about many Dao and principles.
Under his leadership, the gods appreciated the four stages of the world from opening to destruction, or four kalpas—Formation, Abiding, Destruction, and Emptiness.
The principles were connected, but the processes were different, and the gods listened with great interest.
"It's my turn, it's my turn."
Chen Xing was also very active; his first sentence was: "Life originates from water!"
The gods all laughed: "You are bold!"
You know, all living things in the Primordial originate from Pangu, and Pangu originates from the Dao.
Chen Xing redefined the origin of life in the world in one sentence, and he wasn't afraid of being beaten.
"Those who cultivate the Great Dao, who isn't bold?"
Chen Xing gave a chuckle.
He was not afraid of Heaven or Earth, and only cared about preaching: "As everyone knows, Pangu is made of water."
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yao once said: The highest good is like water; water benefits all things and does not contend, dwelling in places that everyone dislikes, so it is close to the Dao."
"Great Pangu sacrificed himself to transform into the Primordial, benefiting all things; this is the first proof."
"Great Pangu was disliked by all Demon Gods in the Chaos era; this is the second proof."
"Great Pangu was disliked by the Demon Gods, but he didn't argue with them, but took a big axe to correct the words and deeds of the Demon Gods; this is the third proof."
"Great Pangu is invincible, returning to the Dao, closest to the Dao; this is the fourth proof."
"From these four proofs, we can know that Great Pangu is made of water."
"So all living things in the Primordial originate from Pangu, Pangu equals water, water is closest to the Dao, rounding up, all living things originate from water."
"Is there a problem with this?"
Chen Xing's words were well-founded and convincing.
If the Chaotic Demon Gods were resurrected, they would all have to give Chen Xing a thumbs up.
Tai Shang also expressed conviction: "Fellow Daoist's train of thought is active, I am not as good!"
Xiang Xuanqing opened the topic, and Chen Xing opened the train of thought; the things preached by the gods behind indeed headed in a different direction.
For a time, the Taiwei Enclosure was filled with a happy atmosphere.
Finally, everyone's eyes looked at Luo Hou.
"What is the essence of your Demon Dao, Fellow Daoist?"
Luo Hou thought for a moment and said: "With a saint's heart in one's bosom, full of martial virtue, acting according to one's nature—this is probably the essence of our Demon Dao."
Subsequently, Luo Hou talked about "Secret of Heavenly Demon," "Secret of God Demon," "Secret of Yin Demon"...
These were the core scriptures of the Demon Dao.
He wasn't afraid of everyone learning.
Whoever learns is a demon; his Demon Dao only earns and never loses.
Luo Hou finished talking about the secrets of the ten demons in one breath, and the gods each had their own harvest.
Chen Xing asked with lingering interest: "Fellow Daoist Luo Hou, why don't you talk about the 'Secret of Succubus'?"
Luo Hou gave Chen Xing a sideways glance.
"The secret of the succubus lies in understanding the desires of living beings..." Contrary to everyone's expectations, Luo Hou really talked about the "Secret of Succubus."
Chen Xing was ecstatic.
The Taiwei gods listened as if intoxicated.
After a scripture was finished, everyone was still immersed in the mysterious Great Dao.
At this time, Luo Hou said faintly: "Your performance now can also be considered a reaction to being tempted by the succubus with the Great Dao."
"Ahem~~"
The gods immediately returned to their senses and restored their serious appearance.
Xiang Xuanqing looked to one side and asked: "By the way, Fellow Daoist Jing Yao."
"How is your research on the Innate Great Dao Nine-Turn Undying Hunyuan Pill going?"
"Hunyuan Pill?" Tai Shang didn't know why Xiang Xuanqing suddenly asked this, he replied: "The materials are prepared sufficiently, but I calculated and calculated, and felt that a key opportunity was missing."
"If I force refining, I'm afraid it won't be perfect enough. I'm thinking of waiting until I can go a step further before trying it."
During the Great War of the Fierce Beasts, Tai Shang desperately wanted to kill the Demon God Xiang Liu because it was a good material for refining the Hunyuan Pill.
So after successfully picking up the corpse, he had been preparing for pill refining.
"Since that is the case, let's wait a bit longer."
Xiang Xuanqing smiled: "The refining of the Hunyuan Pill will always wait for an opportunity."
"As for now, I will take everyone to a place."
Xiang Xuanqing said, his mind moving.
From the A-sized universe in the Netherworld Tai Sha Heavenly Palace, a stream of light flew out and fell into Xiang Xuanqing's palm.
Everyone looked curiously.
It was a pair of eyeballs.
This was exactly the eyes of the Destruction Demon God.
One look and you could see they died with eyes wide open.
"Hum!!"
As soon as the Destruction Demon God's eyeballs appeared, the Imperial Seal transformed by the World-Destroying Millstone vibrated slightly.
Xiang Xuanqing held these two items in his palm.
Subsequently, the scroll on the chaotic long table unfolded, and he threw it into the scroll.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"
Clouds and mists churned, and a picture appeared.
Black mountains and black water, mysterious and silent.
If Seeing Shen Ni were here, he would definitely exclaim.
Because this was his old lair—Undying Mountain!
"Let's go, take you to see Seeing Shen Ni's residence." Xiang Xuanqing's figure disappeared from the main seat.
"Seeing Shen Ni?"
The gods looked at each other.
"Go!"
Eleven rays of light came out together and fell into the scroll.
Boom!!
The boundary between reality and illusion was broken.
The gods entered Undying Mountain.
"That is?" 【Tai Bai Shang Zun】 Zhunti pointed to the void.
In the center of Undying Mountain, the Qi of Chaos churned, and a coffin was suspended in mid-air, simple and unadorned, without a trace of divine light.
Xiang Xuanqing laughed: "Seeing Shen Ni's relic."
"Everyone can look around; perhaps there will be surprises."
Hearing this, the gods' eyes lit up.
Everyone scattered to search.
Only Xiang Xuanqing stepped forward and lifted the Chaotic Coffin.
Inside the coffin, it was empty.
Xiang Xuanqing studied it for a while and found the correct way to use this item.
He lay straight into it and closed the coffin lid.
"Bang!"
At the peak of Mount Western Kunlun, clear Qi swirled, and immortal light was ten thousand feet high.
While the 【Taiwei Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di】 was taking the gods treasure hunting, his true self was about to start another journey.
Tai Shang, Xiang Xuanqing, and Jade Chen Daojun, the three Daoists, sat cross-legged in the posture of the Three Talents.
In Xiang Xuanqing's hand, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi bloomed with soft immortal light, evolving the state of opening the world.
Above Tai Shang Daoist's head, the Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Furnace ignited, three thousand furnace fires circulating through all worlds and space-time.
In front of Jade Chen Daojun, the Azure Duckweed Sword soared into the air, sword light flickering, faintly communicating the power of destruction and ending.
"Merge!"
The Three Pure Ones shouted in unison, combining their own magic power, soul essence, and the origin imprint derived from Pangu.
Hum—!
The Eight Trigrams Furnace suddenly extended forward, the furnace fire soaring, as if to cross the endless distance of space-time.
The Jade Ruyi erupted with brilliant light, and an axe shadow containing the will to open the world fiercely slashed toward the void ahead; the void rippled like the surface of water, revealing the rushing, bizarre river of time beneath!
The Azure Duckweed Sword's sword Qi gathered, transforming into a sharp edge that tore through everything, tracing back through space-time.
Rumble!
The river of time surged violently, and a backlash force powerful enough to make even the Great Luo Supremes instantly lose their way surged over!
"This is the moment, go!" Xiang Xuanqing shouted in a low voice.
With a wave of his hand, the Ghost Gate Pass appeared at the crack, fixing the infinite space-time.
Three strands of clear Qi rose instantly, crossing the Ghost Gate Pass!
The moment their figures disappeared, the Eight Trigrams Furnace, Jade Ruyi, and Azure Duckweed Sword's light converged.
At the peak of Mount Western Kunlun, peace was restored.
I don't know how long they traveled; it seemed like only an instant, and it seemed like eternity.
When the Three Pure Ones regained consciousness, they found themselves in a "space" that was difficult to describe in words.
There was no above, below, or four directions, no sun, moon, or stars, only endless, viscous, chaotic "Nothingness"!
No, it was not completely nothingness.
In this chaos, it was filled with violent earth, water, fire, and wind, colliding, annihilating, and regenerating.
Countless primitive, unformed law fragments collided and intertwined within it.
About to return to the era of opening the world.
The Three Pure Ones were extremely excited in their hearts.
At the same time, they were also a bit worried.
Although it was familiar the second time, facing Great Pangu, one would panic no matter how many times they came!
Jade Chen Daojun's expression was solemn: "Coming again, I can still feel the terror of Great Pangu."
"Even if I become a Tai Su Great Luo, standing at this node, I can feel my own Great Dao being affected, and even have the feeling of being assimilated in an unknown direction."
"It's as if"
"It's as if Father God is summoning us!" x3
The Three Pure Ones said in unison.
Just at this moment.
Boom!!
An indescribable loud noise, or rather, a "vibration" that transcended the concept of sound, suddenly came from the depths of the Chaos!
The entire Chaos seemed to be shaken by this "vibration"!
The Three Pure Ones looked on in horror.
They saw that in the center of the endless Chaos, a point of indescribable light was expanding rapidly!
Within that light, a giant figure standing between heaven and earth could be vaguely seen!
He held a giant axe that was also indescribable; every swing was accompanied by the shattering of endless Chaos and the surging of earth, water, fire, and wind!
Clear Qi rose, and turbid Qi sank!
Heaven and Earth... were being opened!
Pangu!
The Three Pure Ones' minds were instantly attracted and shocked by the supreme power of opening the world!
They saw the Chaos being split open, saw the separation of clear and turbid, saw the raging and gradual calming of earth, water, fire, and wind, saw the evolution of Yin and Yang, the derivation of the Five Elements...
This was the birth of "Existence"!
From absolute "Non-Existence" to "Existence" that encompasses everything!
Every movement and every breath of that giant seemed to contain infinite Great Dao principles!
The Three Pure Ones watched and realized as if intoxicated.
The Pangu soul imprint within them became unprecedentedly active at this moment, resonating strongly with the power of opening the world!
They seemed to have crossed space-time, conducting a silent exchange with the creator god who was opening the world!
And that giant who was opening the world seemed to have noticed something, and those eyes containing endless vicissitudes and power "glanced" lightly in the direction of the Three Pure Ones, and in the direction of that other hidden gaze!
It was just a glance, yet it seemed to contain the power to open the world!
The Three Pure Ones felt their souls shake violently.
【My children, you finally arrived!】 A smile flashed in Pangu's eyes.
Without a word, he raised the Great Axe of Creation.
Swish!
The Three Pure Ones' vision suddenly went black.
"???"
