“Not bad.” Cao Ya from [Perfect World] nodded and said, “Although a six-star advanced level is strong, in all the great universes, not to mention seven-star, if you want to be able to overlook the eight wastelands and six directions, the peak of six-star is still the most reliable!”
He also attained the status of a Mortal Immortal during the Chaotic Ancient Era, reaching the peak of the five-star level.
Through subsequent cultivation and by drawing inferences from similar cases, I gained many insights and felt confident that reaching the realm of the Immortal King was not a problem.
To conquer foreign lands and end the ultimate darkness and turmoil of the future, one would need at least a six-star peak Quasi-Immortal Emperor!
Considering the Corpse Immortal Emperor, this is probably not enough; a seven-star Immortal Emperor would be necessary!
"The evil Heavenly Dao of the [God's Tomb] universe should be at the peak of the six-star level." Cao Ya of [God's Tomb] sighed softly. Relying on a lot of extraordinary knowledge and the profound mysteries of various laws, his cultivation has also made great progress, advancing to the five-star Heaven-Defying Rank.
However, in the [God's Tomb] universe, the Evil Heavenly Dao reaps the lives of all living beings. Not to mention the Heaven-Defying Rank, even the kings among the Heaven-Defying Rank cannot match the Evil Heavenly Dao!
"Like you, my old monsters in the universe are also at the peak of the six-star level. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Nuwa, and Pangu are also emperors and sovereigns of the same level, but their numbers are far fewer. It is still difficult and full of twists and turns to achieve the goal of wiping out all the emperors and sovereigns."
[The Realm of Immortality] Cao Ya whispered. He had long since surpassed the Ancestral God Realm and entered the Stone Man Realm, reaching the peak of the five-star level. He was only one step away from the Stone Man King Realm.
The Stone King and the Supreme Ancestral God at Great Perfection correspond to the six-star levels of Elementary, Intermediate, and Advanced.
Those emperors and sovereigns were at the peak of the six-star level, occupying the only true realm and reaping the rewards of all the heavens and myriad realms!
Moreover, there are a lot of them, at least a hundred or eighty!
"Sigh." The group exchanged glances, their initial excitement fading, and they couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't be discouraged!" Cao Ya from [Stellar Transformation] laughed. "We're all five-star level, with considerable strength, and with those two big shots around, given enough time, reaching the peak of six-star level in the future is still a good possibility. As for seven-star level..."
As he spoke, he shook his head. Given the current situation, reaching the peak of the six-star level was indeed possible.
Seven-star... well, the probability isn't zero! But no matter who it is, there's no guarantee of success.
"That's true." The group nodded, their emotions returning to normal.
Cao Ya from 【Sacred Ruins】 and Cao Ya from 【Desolate Era】 looked at each other and smiled.
Of all the people, only the two of them are six-star level. Cao Ya of [Sacred Ruins] has also attained the supreme Immortal King realm, which is the pinnacle of the initial level of six-star level. His power is not bad, and he has also gained insights into the subsequent giant, supreme giant, and quasi-supreme realms. It cannot be said that he has just been grinding his time, but the possibility of him achieving it is indeed very high.
However, Cao Ya from [Perfect World], [Primordial Era], [Panlong], [Eternal Life], [Shepherd of the Gods], [Peerless One], and [Covering the Sky] are all at the peak of the five-star level, and are very close to the six-star level.
The Cao Ya from universes like [Stellar Transformation], [Immortal Gourd], and [Divine Tomb] are all five-star level and can provide considerable assistance. Moreover, the universes they inhabit are vast, aiming for seven-star level! Even if they don't achieve that, reaching a six-star level later on would still be very beneficial.
"Well, now that our combat strength has reached this level, although there are still many concerns, some ideas can be implemented." Cao Ya of [Primordial Era] pondered.
“That makes sense.” Cao Ya, the Supreme Being, agreed. He had already attained the legendary perfection and now shared the power. By reviewing the relevant memories, the laws of the Great Dao manifested, and he was deeply moved, having the opportunity to achieve great things.
At that time, the real world will inevitably be thrown into turmoil again! As the final calamity approaches, the number of powerful figures who are resurrected is increasing, and they are becoming stronger and stronger.
The legendary realm is no longer enough to satisfy.
Only those with the power of creation are qualified, and a six-star high-level combat power, placed in the [Peerless One] universe, is the peak of creation, or even the level of perfect creation!
Regardless of the era, this would be considered a person of great supernatural power!
"Haha, I hope more people will come in next time and get certified as six-star!" Cao Yalang from [Sacred Ruins] laughed.
"As long as I'm not the only one standing out, that's fine." Cao Ya from [Mang Huang Ji] chuckled.
Everyone rolled their eyes. You think we don't want to? But improving one's cultivation level isn't easy!
******
[The Supreme Being] Universe.
The Real World, the Southern Wilderness, a region ruled by the Crimson Demonic Sect.
Cao Ya emerged from seclusion, feeling an ever-growing power, and his confidence was also greatly strengthened.
His divine sense spread out, and the spirit of all living beings in the Southern Wilderness surged forth, forming a giant wave that broke through the heavens!
The so-called "Red Demonic Sect" actually advocates "equality for all" and "self-improvement".
This is truly beneficial for the people of the world!
Most importantly, the Crimson Demon Sect not only has this concept, but also puts it into action!
But precisely because of this, he was labeled a demon by various major sects and families, and targeted in various ways.
If Cao Ya hadn't been in charge, the situation of the Crimson Demon Sect wouldn't be so good, and they wouldn't have been able to unify the entire Southern Wilderness of the Real World!
As the first legendary figure after the ancient overlord, Cao Ya's name shook the heavens and earth!
Even as the end times approached and the era changed drastically, there were still prodigies like Meng Qi, Master Lu, and Su Wuming, who, following Cao Ya, successively attained the status of celestial immortals.
However, the title of "number one" still belongs to Cao Ya, and his power is awe-inspiring!
Of course, Meng Qi was too crucial, making him the focus of many powerful figures' arrangements.
Once Meng Qi achieves legendary status, it signifies an imminent calamity, and powerful figures from all sides will accelerate the recovery process.
Many of the immortals of Jade Void Palace, the powerful beings of the Lingbao lineage, the great saints of the demon race, and even the powerful figures of evil and heretical sects have also been revived.
Mostly legends, but also some extraordinary events!
So far, only a few fortunate individuals have not returned.
And then there are the strongest Beyonders.
Cao Ya's legendary power, though seemingly perfect, is actually somewhat weak. If it weren't for their equal combat strength, the Crimson Demon Sect might have lost its position as the overlord of the Southern Wilderness!
"Now, with my power, I can fight even the most powerful being at the pinnacle of creation!"
"It is also inevitable that one's own cultivation will break through the limits of creation."
Cao Ya muttered to himself, "If this drags on any longer, the progress will be too slow. Those at the peak of their creation and those at the perfection of their creation will either escape or return, but it will be difficult to see the same scene as today. The Crimson Demon Sect will be in great danger."
It should be understood that whether it is Buddhism, the demonic path, or even the demon race and the Luo sect, they are all plotting to seize the vast lands of the real world!
This is the core of all the heavens, yet it is one of the keys to the great calamity!
Moreover, the ownership of the real world is also related to the plans of some great supernatural beings to attain the other shore!
In the struggle for the Great Dao, who will back down? With the final calamity approaching, it's a matter of life or death; everyone has begun their desperate fight!
"Furthermore, the great supernatural beings of the Creation Realm are not the most difficult to reach. In the near future, the beings of the Other Shore... will also reappear!" Cao Ya's eyes were deep, and his expression was extremely solemn.
In the universe, Human Immortals and Earth Immortals are three-star, Celestial Immortals are four-star, Legendary Immortals are five-star, Creation Immortals are six-star, and Pseudo-Other Shore Immortals and Weak Other Shore Immortals are the peak of six-star!
Those on the other side are naturally at the initial level of the seventh star, while the ancient and the oldest are even stronger!
Currently, Cao Ya, within the extraordinary system of this universe, has reached the legendary perfection, corresponding to the peak of the five stars.
All his extraordinary magical power, when accumulated, basically broke through to the comprehensive combat strength of the six-star high level, which is equivalent to the peak of creation.
Not to mention the present world, even in ancient times, prehistoric times, and primordial times, when those from the other shore oppress the world, they can roam freely across the nine heavens and ten earths!
The great sages of the demon race in mythology, the bodhisattvas and Buddhas of Buddhism, and the golden immortals and celestial beings of Taoism, the vast majority of them are only in the realm of legend and creation. The peak of creation and the perfection of creation, which correspond to the six-star peak, are extremely rare.
Even in a seven-star universe, those on the other side are not common and are extremely rare.
Of the nine great celestial deities of Taoism whose fame has been passed down through the ages, only the first three—Yuanshi, Lingbao, and Daode—have reached the other shore; the rest are merely creations.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" Just then, two figures flashed out from the depths of the void.
“Uncle-Master Xuanjie, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t leave seclusion until you achieved your goal?” Meng Qi chuckled.
In this life, Cao Ya is a Shaolin disciple and a fellow disciple of Xuan Bei. Naturally, Meng Qi is his junior disciple.
“Unbreakable Arhat, if you are not confident, it is best not to act rashly. Those who have been revived will not sit idly by and watch you advance; they will definitely try to stop you. It is truly dangerous,” Qi Zhengyan said in a deep voice.
Cao Ya smiled slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid they won't come!"
Meng Qi was surprised; his senior uncle Xuan Jie had regained his former confidence.
“It is… the Reincarnation Seal…” Qi Zhengyan’s eyes flashed.
"Erase more of the demonic Buddha's marks?" Meng Qi suddenly realized.
"I suppose so." Cao Ya simply smiled; there was no need for others to know about her situation.
Even though Qi Zhengyan is the leader of the Crimson Demon Sect, Meng Qi also used the alias "Sword of Shock" and left behind many divine skills and secret techniques in the Crimson Demon Sect's martial arts hall, benefiting all living beings and earning people's respect!
At first, Cao Ya was worried about being exposed, so he left his name as "Nine-Complete Warrior". Later, he personally took charge of the Southern Wilderness and became the strongest person in the Crimson Demon Sect. He no longer had any worries, and his true identity was spread.
This also attracted many people from other regions to enter the Southern Wilderness and join the Crimson Demon Sect.
The "Indestructible Arhat" ring is renowned in the real world. In the past, due to a series of coincidences, it was used by many experts and, in the aftermath of a clash between powerful beings, it traveled back to the Middle Ages with the help of the Time Blade. There, it clashed with the ancient saints and fought to a draw with the Overlord, leaving behind related legends and imprints!
In this world, the "Indestructible Arhat" is also an extremely powerful being, having once fought a great battle with the returning Creator, and the two were evenly matched!
Even the more senior Master Lu, Su Wuming, and Meng Qi, who was the focus of the great calamity and invested in by many other shore beings, are inferior to the "Indestructible Arhat" and rank after Xuan Jie among the contemporary strongmen!
In fact, in the eyes of many, the "Indestructible Arhat" Xuanjie has already surpassed the saints and overlords of the Middle Ages, and can be called "the first person since the ancient times"!
Such a scene would undoubtedly leave the prehistoric masters who had awakened from their slumber utterly astonished!
After all, the "Indestructible Arhat" didn't receive any investment, unlike Meng Qi, who inherited a lot of karma and also received the gift of power.
Similarly, the only legendary figure from the Middle Ages—the Overlord—is also intricately connected with the other shore being—the Demon Buddha.
The Moonlight Bodhisattva is slightly better, but he has a noble origin. He is an old monster who survived from ancient times. He attained enlightenment in later generations and realized the legend. In terms of strength, he is far inferior to the "Indestructible Arhat" of today.
Master Lu and Su Wuming are also heroes of their time, achieving legendary status, but they have not yet reached the pinnacle of their legends, much less the ability to fight against the forces of creation!
They have the potential, but unfortunately, they don't have enough time.
Apart from the Overlord who died in the Middle Ages, and the Moonlight Bodhisattva, Meng Qi, Master Lu, and Su Wuming who are active in the present, only Cao Ya can be considered a rising power in this world!
The Jade Void Golden Immortals, the Great Sages of the Demon Clan, and other legends and creations were all attained in the ancient times, or even earlier, in the prehistoric and primordial eras. They have extremely long lifespans and endless years of cultivation.
But even such an old monster, many times, is no match for the "Indestructible Arhat".
Even the most powerful figures from all sides can't help but marvel at how every era has its incredible beings who can transcend the limits of their time!
After the ancient times, before the signs of the final calamity appeared, the changes in heaven and earth did not allow any legends to appear in the world.
This led to the decline of the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period, and only in recent years has there been a change.
"Haha, our Crimson Demon Sect has three peerless divine weapons. My Uncle Xuanjie and I are both legends... Senior Brother Qi is also a Celestial Immortal, but he's a little less powerful."
Meng Qi felt quite smug and even teased Qi Zhengyan at the end.
These three are the Crimson Demon Sect's trump cards: two legends and one celestial being!
Of course, because Qi Zhengyan obtained the peerless divine weapon—the Demon Emperor's Claw—many demons also followed him.
"Legend has it that one must either refrain from seeking the 'other self' and elevate the 'true self', or maintain the 'true self' and enlighten the 'other self' of all the heavens, reflecting the myriad worlds... but neither is an easy task."
Qi Zhengyan sighed softly. He had reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Immortal realm, yet even taking that first step was still fraught with difficulty.
"That's normal. Legend has it that in an era before the world changed drastically and when those on the other shore were suppressing the world, they could be called 'great powers'. This shows how strong they were, and the difficulty of their path to enlightenment would certainly not be low."
Cao Ya slowly explained that he was following the path of elevating his "true self," without enlightening his "other self."
In fact, the latter is the orthodox path. People such as Moonlight Bodhisattva, Meng Qi, Su Wuming, ancient great beings, and even Qi Zhengyan, Jiang Zhiwei, Han Guang, and Gao Lan in the Celestial Immortal Realm all basically followed this path.
Only a very few people, such as Cao Ya and Mr. Lu Da, have taken the first step on this path.
"Hmm." Meng Qi suddenly touched his nose. Although he became a legend through his own efforts, he was also very clear that the arrangements of the ancient other side were equally important.
The Three Pure Ones—Yuanshi, Lingbao, and Daode—as well as the other shores like the Demon Buddha, all focused their attention on him!
Following the path of "Yuanshi Tianzun," the hope for the other shore in the future is immense!
Therefore, Meng Qi also greatly admired Cao Ya, Mr. Lu, and Su Wuming, these contemporary heroes who became legends purely through their own efforts.
"It's difficult to become a legend, but in this era, even a master can only be considered a top expert, not someone who can truly control the overall trend of the world!" Qi Zhengyan sighed.
Even though the one beyond the Seven Stars has not returned, the creation of the Six Stars has produced many. How can the legend of the Five Stars compare?
Even though many of those who have been resurrected have suffered great losses due to their long slumber and their strength cannot be restored to its peak immediately, their divine power still overlooks the real world and sweeps across all the heavens and myriad realms!
Legend has it that defying the laws of nature is never an easy thing.
Those who can accomplish such a feat are all unparalleled geniuses throughout history!
It is hailed as a promising destination!
Just like the Monkey King Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen Yang Jian in ancient times!
