“Aside from the fundamental principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, life and death, reincarnation, and thunder, the metaphysical realm is nothing more than the Five Elements, the Five Virtues, and the Five Cycles.”
Yuan Mo Tong Zi said calmly, "These innate Daos that point directly to the source have long been targeted by others, and the competition for them is extremely fierce."
However, there is a path whose strategic location surpasses even the fundamental road, yet no one has ever realized it, or rather, no one has been able to traverse it, and it has not been recognized as a path.
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang's heart stirred. "You mean: the Five Great Daos of the Primordial Chaos?"
The Five Primordial Elements are Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji, which represent the five stages of the universe's creation and evolution.
During this process, five energies are born at each stage: Primordial Pure Energy, Primordial Purple Energy, Mysterious Yellow Mother Energy, Primordial White Energy, and Yin and Yang Energy.
The five primordial energies are divided into five virtues and five phases, which arise together.
Each of the Five Virtues possesses a supreme treasure, corresponding to the Five Qi and Five Phases respectively.
The treasure of Taiyi Sacred Virtue corresponds to the Way of Qi and Fortune, and is transformed from the primordial pure Qi.
The Treasure of Primordial Blessing corresponds to the Way of the End Times and is transformed from the Primordial Purple Qi.
The Treasure of Primordial Merit corresponds to the Way of Killing and Fortune, and is transformed from the Primordial Yellow Mother Qi.
The Treasure of Primordial Yin Virtue corresponds to the Way of Intercepting Fortune, and is transformed from the Primordial White Qi.
The treasure of Tai Chi morality corresponds to the way of calamity and destiny, and is transformed from the two energies of Yin and Yang.
One force can overcome one virtue, but it can also be overcome by that virtue.
The end times will destroy the holy virtue: In the Dharma-ending Age, the Holy Path will not exist.
Qi Yun Ke Fu De: Qi refers to one's fate, and Yun refers to one's destiny. Supernatural powers cannot overcome the will of Heaven, and individual efforts cannot reverse collective karma.
Killing destroys merit: Among all sins, killing is the foremost. Immeasurable merit is destroyed by the karmic fire of killing.
Intercepting the flow of good fortune and suppressing virtuous deeds: Virtuous deeds and good deeds, and the law of cause and effect, are the main themes of the cycle of the heavenly way. However, if the heavenly way collapses, then cause and effect will not be manifest and virtuous deeds will be difficult to preserve.
Calamity overcomes morality: Cultivation is inherently a matter against the will of Heaven, and calamity will inevitably befall one. The higher one's path, the deeper the calamity.
Morality overcomes the end times: In the Dharma-ending Age, virtuous people will emerge to spread the Way. It is people who spread the Way, not the Way that spreads people.
Saint Deke's destiny: Saints take turns spreading the Dharma, the world is renewed, and the light illuminates the path for all beings.
Fortune and virtue overcome misfortune: A person of great fortune will not be harmed by calamities and will never be plagued by bad luck.
Merit overcomes misfortune: Boundless merit mends the interruption of the Way of Heaven.
Virtuous deeds can overcome misfortune: Even a wisp of virtuous deeds can offer a glimmer of hope amidst countless calamities.
These are all owned, and each one has a more prestigious origin than the last, making them things that Bai Cang could not possibly covet.
Therefore, what Yuanmo Tongzi said can only refer to the overall concept of "the Five Primordial Elements".
"Indeed!"
Yuanmo Tongzi said, "The Five Primordial Elements evolve into the Five Qi, Five Virtues, and Five Cycles, which are themselves the supreme Dao, but no one can prove them."
So if you choose this path, you should have no competitors, at least until you reach the Dao.
Furthermore, after achieving Dao Integration, there are no restrictions on advancing to Pure Yang; one can freely choose any Great Dao and integrate with it.
Hearing this, Bai Cang was overjoyed, but one question remained:
Why can't others succeed, but I can?
Could there be some kind of trap here?
So Bai Cang immediately asked the question without any hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Mo Tongzi looked at Bai Cang with a strange expression, as if he were looking at a pervert.
"The Five Primordial Elements represent the process of the universe's creation and evolution. Do you think anyone other than a monster like you could simulate it before attaining the Dao?"
Bai Cang felt much more at ease, but even more doubts arose in his heart.
But before he could speak, Yuan Mo Tong Zi said again, "Alright, I am just a manifestation of magic. I have said what I should say, and it is no use asking me what I shouldn't say."
"Take good care of what you've gained on this trip; we'll soon reach the border of the Great Crimson Heaven!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Cang could only shut his mouth in embarrassment.
Then, looking inward, he focused his mind and spirit into the "world of the pot," where five discs of different sizes came into view.
The discs are of different colors, each displaying one of five hues: black and white, crimson, sky blue, light purple, and pure gold. They intertwine and merge into a vast, incomparable vortex, emanating a ghostly aura that seems to be a projection of the world.
The five little creatures each perched on a disc, their bodies adorned with armor of corresponding colors, undergoing a mysterious transformation.
"Goodness, is he about to transform into the Five Paths General?"
Seeing this, Bai Cang couldn't help but chuckle. "If you get another chance in the future, won't you turn the Five Ghosts Moving the Sky into the Five Emperors Moving the Heavens?"
Bai Cang's attitude towards the foundation he laid when he entered the Dao, and the five little ones who had integrated his own life essence, has always been: Your uncle spoils his father!
Now we're finally seeing some initial results and a glimmer of hope that it's "somewhat useful"!
As Bai Cang devoured the boundless Netherworld essence and survived countless tribulations, he transformed it into his own.
The three paths of "Heaven, Earth, and Man" in the world of the Pot Heaven have finally reached perfection, giving birth to "Reincarnation," which is independent of all the heavens and myriad worlds.
The so-called three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man: the path of Heaven is the various rules and the true void; the path of Earth is the mountains, rivers, and all kinds of matter; and the path of Man is the mortal world and all things in the universe.
The Way of Heaven is easily formed. It already had its prototype when the Pot Heaven was created, and with Bai Cang's continuous improvement, it has long since approached perfection.
The origins of the earth are not difficult to trace. The birth of mountains, rivers, and all kinds of substances is mainly related to the perfection or imperfection of the rules of the heavens.
The most difficult thing is humanity, which can only take shape through the cycle of birth and reincarnation.
Otherwise, even if there are all kinds of living things inside, they cannot be self-sufficient and form a self-contained positive cycle.
For example, Bai Cang had previously moved the cultivators of Yangshen Heaven into the Pot Heaven World, giving it not only perfect rules, mountains, rivers, and all kinds of matter, but also the existence of living beings.
However, the population and creatures that are migrated from outside by human beings cannot truly become part of the "world of pots and pans," nor can they give birth to "humanity."
Because all living beings have a lifespan, they will naturally die when their lifespan is exhausted, thus failing to form a natural cycle.
Even if people and living beings continue to migrate into it, the death energy in the "Pot Heaven World" will only become more and more concentrated, making it unsuitable for living beings to survive, and even damaging the foundation of heaven and earth.
Only through the birth of reincarnation and the formation of a complete positive cycle can humanity truly be born, evolving into all things and the vast world.
The constant cycle between life and death is like the yin and yang of the Tao and the two polarities of man, which in turn gives rise to all things.
At this moment, the birth of the "Pot Heaven World" brings immense benefits not only to the "living beings" of this world, but also to Xiao Nie and the Five Little Ones.
For Bai Cang, this was also an extremely important matter.
Only when the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man are perfected can the "Pot Heaven World" become a complete universe.
As the "creator god" of this world, Bai Cang naturally received tremendous feedback from it, which further promoted the advancement of his own cultivation and abilities.
The most direct manifestation of this was that Bai Cang suddenly felt that his own deductive power had undergone a near-transformative increase.
Both "Fangcun Shu" and "Xinyi Shenshu" show signs of breakthroughs.
These two methods of Yi Dao divine calculation are related to the perfection and progress of the "Great Five Elements Yin Yang Yuan Magnetic Universe Star Extinction Divine Blade".
Most importantly, the "Huangji Jingshi Shu" (Book of Supreme Principles Governing the World) section on "Yi Hui Jing Yun" (On Governing the World Through Meetings) has gradually come to a perfect form.
The "Huangji Jingshi Shu" is the most important link in Bai Cang's opening of the "Five Primordial Dao Paths".
These interconnected benefits represent an increasingly bright future for him!
"Everything is getting better!" Bai Cang thought to himself, overjoyed!
