"Cao Ya doesn't rely on heaven or earth, he only relies on himself!"
"Cao Ya doesn't have any cheats!"
Facing the countless gods and buddhas, Cao Ya spoke withou...
"It's the Gate of All Wonders that has spoken!" Tianhuang'er's voice transmission also carried a smile.
At the same time, her divine sense also trembled, expressing the same meaning.
“Buzzing…” Not only her, but also Xuanpin, Taixu, Yuanshi, Laoqiu, Doufasheng Ancestor, and even the two newly departed Creation Primordial Spirits, Chun Jun Daoist and the Dragon Palace Old Dragon, all had their thoughts lingering here, conveying the same attitude.
It is obvious that the creation of this primordial universe will not allow outsiders to cut off the path of the native beings in the final moment.
At other times, it doesn't matter. If outsiders have the opportunity to occupy the positions of Dao Integration, or even Pure Yang or Immortal, it doesn't matter. After all, time is long, so there's no need to rush.
However, the primordial universe is about to perish, yet there are still many immortals who have not yet attained enlightenment. The various primordial spirits below, as well as Qi cultivators and all mortal beings, face even greater crises and may die at any time.
In such a critical moment, how can we allow outsiders to act recklessly and cut off our path to survival?!
After all, those who can spread their thoughts throughout the heavens are either immortal or creations.
They don't face such imminent danger!
In fact, even native immortals have a way out. At worst, they can manifest their thoughts, carrying innate divine restrictions, and escape into the universe of an old friend to avoid the Great Cataclysm. In the future, there is still a possibility for those above the Dao Integration level to return to immortality, but it will take a very long time.
But in doing so, other living beings would essentially face certain death.
Even immortal primordial spirits have their own Daoist temples, so how could they just stand by and watch their relatives and friends perish?!
Those great masters who have already departed often keep an eye on their homeland, and some even have prior connections with them, leaving behind Taoist teachings or guiding extraordinary talents.
Cao Ya had received investment from Xuanpin and Yuanshi.
Furthermore, figures like Jiao Fei and Wang Fu Daoren were already within the sights of some of the Creator.
"Hehe." At this moment, those special creative thoughts, including some foreign immortal soul thoughts, all chuckled and retreated without answering.
They were still quite wary of such abundant blessings.
"The Gate of All Wonders is a very powerful existence. He is also the first great figure in our primordial universe to achieve enlightenment and create a new world. His universe has long been consolidated and has given birth to new creations!"
"The name of all wonders resounds throughout countless universes!"
"Those at the Creation Primordial Spirit Realm are all outstanding individuals!"
The two patriarchs of Buddhism, Li Huang, Xi Huang, and Wa Huang all expressed their admiration for that Gate of All Wonders.
Even Tianhuang'er greatly admired the Gate of Myriad Wonders.
Cao Ya understood; he had heard of the man's reputation but had never dealt with him.
"Perhaps it's only at the middle level of the Seven Stars? The possibility of it being at the high level of the Seven Stars is probably not high."
Cao Ya pondered that people like Tian Huang'er, the Five Great Dao Venerables, Chun Jun Dao Ren, and the Dragon Palace Old Dragon were all at the initial level of the Seven Stars. In the future, after a long period of accumulation, perhaps Tian Huang'er, Lao Qiu, and Dou Fa Sheng Zu Shi would have a chance to become the middle level of the Seven Stars.
In the past, those who attained enlightenment and achieved great things, such as the Four Gates and Four Mirrors, were mostly at the initial stage of the Seven Stars.
Cao Ya analyzed that only the Gate of Myriad Wonders could be confirmed to be of the middle level of the Seven Stars!
The Gate of Mysterious Female, the Gate of Great Void, the Gate of Primordial Beginning, the Mirror of the Great Thousand Worlds, etc., may not have been completed yet, or they may not have taken that step at the advanced level of the Seven Stars Initial Stage.
Of course, this situation is quite normal.
Even those who can attain the status of the Primordial Spirit of Creation are all heroes rarely seen throughout history.
However, once you reach the seven-star level, every small upgrade becomes extremely difficult.
Regardless of whether it's the [Eternal Life] Universe, the [Snow Eagle Lord] Universe, or the [Primordial Wilderness], [Sacred Ruins], [Peerless Sovereign], or other great universes, the situation regarding this cultivation is almost the same.
The difficulty of advancing to a seven-star level is hundreds or thousands of times greater than that of an ordinary mortal growing to the peak of a six-star level!
For example, how many of the Immortal Kings in [Eternal Life] have broken through to the Supreme Realm? How many of the high-level Chaos Origin Lifeforms in [Snow Eagle Lord] have broken through to the World-level Chaos Origin Lifeform? And not everyone can walk the path of the Ancient Ones on the other shore of [Supreme One in a Lifetime]!
Naturally, in the vast universe of the Immortal Gourd, breaking through to the next level of creation is like an insurmountable chasm.
"However, if my path is successfully followed, I will immediately reach the seventh level of the Seven Stars upon attaining enlightenment!"
However, Cao Ya wasn't actually very confident about her own ideas.
It's not just about achieving immortality and having strong overall capabilities, so why not give it a try?
If all else fails, he still has a way out: he can still seek success and advancement through normal means.
Otherwise, Cao Ya must be out of his mind to make things difficult for himself!
High returns and low risk, then give it a try, there shouldn't be any problem.
"Thank you all for your help!"
At this moment, several immortals who were still lingering in the primordial universe manifested their divided souls to express their gratitude to the heroes.
Otherwise, they alone wouldn't be able to force back that group of covetous outside bigwigs!
"May you attain enlightenment soon." The Gate of All Wonders uttered these last words and then vanished.
"Hoo." The Gate of Mysterious Female, the Gate of Great Void, the Gate of Primordial Beginning, and so on, also withdrew their thoughts.
Only those great figures who still have an immortal connection with the primordial universe are not in a hurry to leave.
Tianhuang'er, Lao Qiu, Doufasheng Ancestor, Guangcheng Daoist, Taixuan Elder...
Cao Ya and the other immortals simply listened without interrupting.
"Jiao Fei, his nephew, as well as Qiao Kui, Zhong Shenxiu, and Yuanqi Daoren, have all become immortals."
"And then there are the four immortal ancestors who haven't yet attained enlightenment..."
"There are actually eight immortal primordial gods in the current primordial universe?!"
Cao Ya exclaimed in amazement, "This is the foundation of a once glorious universe!"
One after another, the Creators and Immortals departed, yet on the eve of the final calamity, there were still eight powerful figures.
The universes created by great figures could never reach this level!
"Boom!" Cao Ya also saw that in the desolate border region, the lightning of the end times surged and split the nebula.
In response to the end of the cycle, other unusual phenomena also manifested, shaking the hearts of the primordial spirits in all directions.
Everyone could feel the lingering gloom of the primordial universe, the sense of decay was extremely strong.
"Jiao Fei, Qiao Kui, and Yuanqi Daoren should be able to succeed at the last minute, right?"
Cao Ya muttered to himself that in the original timeline, before the end of the primordial universe, they obtained the fruits of creation, took their families with them, and escaped the tribulation.
Since then, the primordial universe has been completely extinguished, and not a single living being remains.
Tens of millions of years passed after Chun Jun Dao Ren and that old dragon both achieved their great destiny.
The omens of the end times in the primordial universe... they can't even be called omens anymore, to be precise, they were celestial phenomena!
The scent of the Dharma-ending Age was far-reaching, covering the entire starry sea. Not only were the Nascent Soul masters heavy-hearted, but even the Qi Refiners felt as if a great calamity was about to befall them.
Moreover, under the devastation of the Dharma-ending Age, the primordial universe could no longer give birth to beings who had attained the Dao.
The laws are out of order, gradually becoming chaotic and collapsing, which does not support the condensation of the Dao seed.
Jiao Fei and the other eight immortals could only set their sights on the heavens, hoping to find a suitable universe to harvest the Great Dao, increase their accumulation, and get closer to creation.
During this period, Cao Ya's improvement was also tremendous.
"Finally, the number of Great Daos I have mastered exceeds three thousand!"
Deep within a starry sky of the Tianhuang Universe, four major portals stand, still possessing a somewhat illusory quality.
Cao Ya suddenly opened his eyes, a smile appearing on his face, and a hint of relaxation in his expression.
In the true form of the Heavenly Phoenix Universe, since this world is not yet perfect, it is naturally impossible to merge with the Dao.
Furthermore, Tianhuang'er also needs to reserve enough vacancies for her followers, including the experts born in later generations, for those who have reached the Dao Integration level or above.
Therefore, it is not easy for the Immortal Primordial Spirit to reap the Great Dao of the Heavenly Phoenix Universe. However, the Primordial Spirit Dharma Body Realm can try to prove the Dao-Merging Primordial Spirit in the future, and even seek the Pure Yang Path!
However, Cao Ya didn't care about this. In any case, his immortal foundation was very solid and there was no risk of it loosening or collapsing. Moreover, his thoughts had been cast into the heavens and he had reaped considerable rewards.
"Of the three thousand Great Daos, two thousand are Dao Seeds, and over a thousand are Laws, which have led to the cultivation of the Innate Divine Restriction."
"Unfortunately, most have only two or three divine restrictions, while those with five, six, seven or eight, or even more than ten are still rare."
Despite thinking "what a pity," Cao Ya's expression remained completely unchanged.
After all, he was already a true six-star peak, and was very close to achieving the Creation Realm.
"There are some repetitive paths, and if you want to follow the conventional path and prove your destiny, you are still somewhat lacking."
"Moreover, the conditions in the Heavenly Phoenix Universe are not yet met, so I cannot leave rashly."
Tianhuang'er agreed to provide protection, and although Cao Ya now has more confidence, he will not turn his back on her.
He doesn't mind waiting for tens or hundreds of billions of years; it's perfect for him to continue collecting the laws of the Great Dao.
He had barely completed a quarter of the three thousand principles on his journey.
The day when we truly break through to the next level is still a long way off!
Of course, Cao Ya's overall combat strength has become even more ferocious. He dares to fight anyone in the face of fate and will not be defeated cleanly.
Although the exact level of Cao Ya's cultivation is unknown, one can sense the unfathomable depth of this Daoist Cao Ya, a being of the Heavenly Phoenix Universe's creation and immortality.
He has surpassed the likes of the legendary Doufa Shengzu, Guangcheng Daoren, and Taixuan Zhangren, and is now on par with Lao Qiu from the beginning of the universe!
Such progress has impressed even the most powerful figures.
"Cao Ya, once twenty or thirty innate pure Yang magic treasures have appeared, you can leave if you wish."
Within the starry sky, the beautiful young girl Tianhuang'er appeared and spoke to Cao Ya.
Cao Ya did not insist that all forty-eight innate pure yang magic treasures be created before he could leave.
In fact, as long as the four gates and five mirrors, the most crucial of these innate magical treasures, do not have any problems, the evolution of the universe is basically set. Subsequently, treasures such as the Three Sovereigns Golden Talisman, the Five Emperors Dragon Banner, the Five Elements and Five Virtues Treasures, the Five Elements Treasures, and the Ten Great Grotto-Heavens Treasures will also take shape. It can be said that the overall situation is settled.
Those ranked in the thirties and forties are considered to be adding icing on the cake.
"Haha, don't worry, Tianhuang, I'm not in a hurry to leave. I'm still a long way from my goal."
Cao Ya answered.
He estimated that even if the storyline of "Burning Heaven" started, it might not be possible to successfully navigate this path.
At that time, the Tianhuang Universe had clearly stabilized.
Therefore, there is no need for any experts to help Tianhuang restore the order of the Great Dao.
"It seems you've set your sights very high," Tianhuang'er said, a hint of surprise on her pretty face.
When the news spread, the other primordial spirits were all utterly shocked.
Even the two patriarchs of Buddhism and others were greatly astonished.
"I'm afraid that Fellow Daoist Cao Ya is now a top-tier immortal primordial spirit among the countless heavens. No one is stronger than him, at most they are only about the same level."
Longjia and Shakyamuni were exchanging ideas and mentioned their Buddhist path, which was somewhat helpless.
As the reincarnations of the spirits of the Primordial Golden Stone and the Plate of Life and Death, their ability to become immortal is a testament to their power.
It should be noted that although those two magical treasures were born of nature, they only ranked around the thirtieth place, and could not compare with many supreme treasures. They were only on par with the Mountain and River Cauldron.
But they went against the tide, not only succeeding in their reincarnation but also finding their own path to immortality.
However, the Buddhist path to enlightenment is extremely difficult.
Both of them have already extinguished their fading ambitions; the idea of achieving great things on their own, or even joining forces, offers little hope.
Otherwise, why would they have dragged the entire Buddhist sect along with Tianhuang?
“One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things. The two patriarchs of Buddhism are still missing one; there should be a third patriarch,” Shakyamuni Buddha murmured.
Taoist proverbs, which interpret the mysteries of the universe, had a profound impact on their founding of Buddhism.
“In addition, we also need to establish dojos in various universes,” Longjia said.
That's why they sent the Venerable Monk Yuan Kong and the Venerable Monk Jin Chanzi to provide assistance when the Tianhe Star Dojo was in crisis.
The intention is simply to establish a positive connection so that the Buddhist tradition will not be severed in the primordial universe.
Jiao Fei himself had studied profound Buddhist magic, and several of his disciples were extremely suited to the Buddhist path!
Even if the primordial universe is gone, it will still be a spark in the new universe.
Of course, it wasn't just Jiao Fei. In other Buddhist temples, the Second Patriarch of Buddhism and the Four Great Monks would offer guidance to anyone who was suitable. This wasn't about forcibly converting them, but rather about bestowing treasures and magical arts upon them, leaving the choice to them.
Few would refuse a method that leads to the Immortal Realm.
Because of the situation within Buddhism, many important figures were aware of it to varying degrees. In addition, the Second Patriarch of Buddhism was low-key, so as long as no one acted recklessly, they all turned a blind eye.
Some influential figures are even pushing for it, hoping that the Buddhist path will be successful and open a new path for all beings!
This is also a good thing for practitioners.
Tianhuang, Laoqiu, and others belong to this category.
“We all have our own ideas about the path to creation, but we are much slower than Fellow Daoist Cao Ya,” Long Jia sighed.
Shakyamuni smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. Those who are at the primordial spirit level have already achieved longevity and endurance. As long as the universe does not perish, they can remain eternally."
"We have plenty of time to slowly deduce the path and wait for the birth of the third Buddhist patriarch."
"I have a premonition that that fellow Daoist will rise to prominence in the Heavenly Phoenix Universe!"
Longjia chanted a Buddhist prayer, a hint of anticipation in his voice.
If there is hope for creation, who would willingly remain stuck in the realm of immortality?!
"Well, let's lend a hand to our fellow Daoists in the Primordial Universe," Shakyamuni said with a smile.
"If they succeed, then there will be several more Buddhist lineages in the universe."
"Besides, there are several immortals who are people with whom we have a connection."
Longjia nodded, and together with Shi Tuo, they transmitted their thoughts and returned to the primordial universe to communicate with Jiao Fei, Qiao Kui, Zhong Shenxiu, Yuanqi Daoren, and Wang Fu Daoren.
At Jiao Fei's Tian Gu Xing Daoist Temple, they also happened to encounter the spirit of Cao Ya Daoist.
Considering the relationship between Jiao Fei and Cao Ya, it's not surprising.
“With the Yuan Dynasty nearing its end, your progress is still a bit slow.” Knowing Jiao Fei’s background, Cao Ya couldn’t help but shake his head.
Upon hearing this, Jiao Fei gave a wry smile.
"..." The second patriarch of Buddhism was also somewhat speechless.
