To be precise: Bai Cang had no choice at all.

When Teacher Tianhe made the "millennial promise" to him.

This already destined Bai Cang to have only one path to take: "transcendence and integration with the Dao".

Only by "transcending and merging with the Dao" could he attain the Pure Yang Dao Fruit within a thousand years.

There was no other choice!

Moreover, since "Teacher Tianhe" made a "thousand-year agreement" with him, it must mean that there is a method that can enable him to "transcend and merge with the Dao".

It's just that Bai Cang hasn't found the right method yet.

The reason why Pure Yang Treasures can undergo tribulation or Pure Yang Great Powers can be re-cultivated and "transcend and merge with the Dao" is because their true spirit and cultivation have already reached the corresponding level.

Moreover, the Great Dao they merged with had already been refined by them long ago.

Therefore, Bai Cang felt that if he wanted to "copy" this operation, he should start from these two aspects.

The first is to quickly elevate one's spiritual cultivation and true spirit to a sufficiently high level.

The second method is to take advantage of not yet having formally merged with the Dao, and refine the innate Dao that one has mastered in advance by shifting time.

Bai Cang has no clue about the first point yet and can only put it aside for the time being.

However, the second point is entirely feasible.

There was one unavoidable thing that was giving him a huge headache.

That was the path chosen by Bai Cang, the "Five Great Daos of the Primordial Beginning".

However, among the forty-nine fundamental paths, there is not a single "Five Primordial Great Paths".

Only the "Primordial Great Dao of Taiyi", "Primordial Great Dao of Taichu", "Primordial Great Dao of Taishi", "Primordial Great Dao of Taisu", "Primordial Great Dao of Taiji", "Primordial Great Dao of Jieyun", "Primordial Great Dao of Qiyun", "Primordial Great Dao of Moyun", and "Primordial Great Dao of Shayun" are the five virtues in the cycle of fortune, and the ten root great Daos.

The "Five Great Daos of the Primordial Beginning" exist only as a theoretical concept and can be regarded as the "one that has been hidden away," which is the way of the creation of the universe.

It is theoretically feasible, but it has never been put into practice.

If Bai Cang wants to attain the "Five Great Daos of the Primordial World", the first thing he needs to do is to "open up" this Primordial Root Dao on his own, so that he can advance to the "Golden Immortal of the Dao".

Of course, this isn't the real problem.

Bai Cang did not choose to follow this path simply because he blindly believed in "Teacher Tianhe".

Rather, it was because he created the "Huangji Jingshi Shu" (Book of Supreme Ultimate Governing the World), a fundamental cultivation method, that he truly recognized the feasibility of this path.

The real problem is: if Bai Cang wants to "open up" this path, he must first prove the "Five Great Daos of the Primordial World".

The problem he is facing now is that he cannot advance to the Golden Immortal realm first, but must first refine the Great Dao he has merged with.

So here's the question: To get a job, a hard requirement is to have work experience, but if you've never had a job, where does your work experience come from?

The key to solving a problem lies in identifying the critical problem.

Bai Cang's problem is: he has found the key issue and understands the key to the problem, but he can't solve it.

Unless he can "borrow the future" and "borrow" the "Golden Immortal Dao Fruit" that has already been fully refined from his "self" who has already proven the "Five Great Daos of the Primordial Heaven".

At least for now, his mastery of the "Way of the Light" is not yet sufficient to accomplish this.

Moreover, even if he could completely refine the "Innate Universal Great Dao" and the "Innate Time Great Dao", Bai Cang was not sure whether he could achieve this "idea".

To be precise, it should be called "wishful thinking"!

Fortunately, Bai Cang has more than just this one idea; he has many other ideas that have yet to be tested.

At least it hasn't been proven to be completely or absolutely unfeasible!

Thinking of this, Bai Cang lowered his eyes and looked at the Five Virtues True Dragon coiling and flowing on his palm.

As his thoughts shifted, the "Five Virtues True Dragon" transformed into a small five-colored Dao seal, resembling a dragon claw, exuding a terrifying aura of the flow of the five virtues.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, Bai Cang pressed down with his hand, and a dragon claw over 100,000 feet long appeared out of thin air in the vast void. It was divided into five colors: red, white, blue, yellow, and black, and it shone with dazzling brilliance.

Faintly visible were the nascent forms of a vast, primordial universe, floating and sinking amidst dazzling light, exuding an aura of unparalleled terror.

The boundless five-colored light intertwined, seemingly outlining a phantom-like universe, filled with terrifying and overwhelming killing intent.

The Five Elements, Five Virtues, and Five Phases of the Primordial Heaven are all contained within it.

It possesses both vast starlight and boundless primordial magnetic fields, as well as layers upon layers of the ten directions of the universe and the ethereal mist of time, truly mysterious and unpredictable, with endless wonders.

"boom!"

The next moment.

Suddenly, this dragon claw, capable of covering the sky, tore through endless space and time, appearing in the distant ocean beyond the eighteen heavens.

Between each other, there are stars spanning hundreds of millions of miles, suspended above the vast sky and sea.

If you look closely, you will find that this huge star is actually formed by countless extraterrestrial demons that look like lanterns of various colors.

With a deafening roar, the dragon claw that blotted out the sky tore through space and time.

Countless extraterrestrial demons, shaped like lanterns of various colors, actually formed a magnificent, colorful, and radiant star tower.

At the top of that pagoda, there was a multicolored, perfectly round demon king. With each contraction and expansion, his body swelled up and transformed into a giant lantern as large as a star.

Countless "lantern demons" gathered their demonic energy and magic power onto this demon king, and as they echoed each other, they flowed throughout the entire seven-colored exquisite pagoda, radiating countless rays of light of various colors, illuminating the entire universe as if it were a dazzling expanse of color.

Then it coalesced into a seven-colored ray of light, which swept towards the Heaven-Covering Dragon Claw.

It unexpectedly unleashed a tremendous power at the Dao Integration level.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the seven-colored rays of light collided violently with the dragon's claw that blotted out the sky.

Five colors flow and fade, seven colors vanish and disappear, the universe shatters and time collapses.

Countless mournful cries echoed throughout the universe, and everything turned into a hazy, empty chaos. In this process, countless colorful and exquisite demons also turned into ashes and vanished.

That demon king, comparable to a perfect Dao Lord, was naturally no exception.

"Which beast dares to destroy my animal park?"

Just then, an extremely angry roar resounded from some unknown time and space.

A majestic figure could be faintly seen, holding a dragon banner that blotted out the sky, descending from the infinite realm.

Seeing this, Bai Cang reached out and summoned the Heaven-Covering Dragon Claw, which tore through space and time, transforming into a palm-sized Five Virtues True Dragon that landed in his palm once more.

"I never imagined that these colorful, exquisite demons were actually pets kept by the Yama Emperor. It seems that my metaphysical choice was quite reliable after all!"

Bai Cang chuckled, layer upon layer of time and space stacked up, erasing all traces, blurring the horizon, and concealing his identity.

He left after accomplishing his task, concealing his identity and name.
