"To be in harmony with the Dao is to possess the Dao Seed; to be pure Yang is to cultivate the innate divine restrictions, reaching the peak after eighteen stages."
"Then, the two closely connected Great Daos reached the same point of pure Yang and merged perfectly, thus attaining immortality."
"Therefore, if the innate divine restrictions are damaged, and the already perfected Dao of matter and consciousness encounters problems, wouldn't that ruin my foundation? I won't do something like draining the pond to catch all the fish!"
Cao Ya muttered to himself, clearly treasuring the innate divine restriction he had cultivated.
After all, it was not an immortal primordial spirit accumulated over many years. In addition to the fundamental Dao, there were other laws. With his extraordinary talent, he also condensed more than one innate divine restriction.
In fact, besides the number of Great Daos collected and mastered being an important criterion for judging the strength of an immortal primordial spirit, the depth of its mastery of various laws is also quite crucial.
A simple example: an immortal with a hundred laws only managed to elevate two of them to the level of eighteen innate divine restrictions, while the remaining ninety-eight were all ordinary Dao seeds, without even a single innate divine restriction; while another immortal with the same hundred laws had studied all his laws to the level of eighteen divine restrictions... Although they both had a hundred laws, in a real fight, the former was no match for the latter!
"I am merely a few dozen laws, an ordinary immortal primordial spirit."
"Furthermore, not counting the Dao of matter and the Dao of consciousness, they are all Dao Seeds, without a single extra innate divine restriction!"
“Of course I’m reluctant to do that, as it would shake the foundation of these two laws.”
As for his other magical powers, Cao Ya didn't want to reveal them unnecessarily.
【Immortal Gourd】The vast universe, a seven-star giant, spread boundless chaos.
The Heavenly Phoenix and the five Great Dao Venerables, including Old Qiu, in this primordial universe are doing well.
They might not be very interested in his situation. —The six giants are focused on creating new territories, evolving and consolidating their power, and do not covet opportunities from others.
But if the news spreads, perhaps some primordial spirits of creation will start to stir.
Within this primordial universe alone, the number of creations that have arisen throughout history is in the double digits. If we include the heroes within their universe, as well as other natural universes and powerful universes...
It is no exaggeration to say that even the Heavenly Phoenix could not fully know how many primordial spirits of creation existed in the vast void.
Most importantly, many of them are not content with simply achieving great fortune.
They are still collecting the Great Dao, in order to create a second and a third universe...
Such a ruthless character is one thing if I haven't heard of him, but if I do, I'll do everything in my power to capture Cao Ya and interrogate him!
I wouldn't hesitate to destroy an entire universe!
Even if Cao Ya is at the peak of the six-star level, he is no match for such a powerful figure.
Things that should be kept secret cannot be easily leaked unless one is certain that all witnesses will be wiped out!
But could Cao Ya kill Wang Fu Dao Ren? If he really wanted to, he could, but what grudge did they have? Cao Ya wouldn't kill indiscriminately for no reason; he wasn't a bloodthirsty person.
Cao Ya simply declined Wang Fu Daoren's invitation.
Unlike Daoist Wang Fu, who had a way out even if the primordial universe collapsed, he did not.
After achieving immortality, one's soul travels through the heavens in search of the Great Dao and its laws, but there is no need to rush.
Taking things one step at a time and making steady progress is not a bad thing.
There's no need to face the risks head-on. He hasn't been forced into that situation yet, and there's still room for maneuver. At worst, he can spend hundreds or thousands of years searching for a suitable universe.
"A universe that is on the verge of destruction yet can still pluck the Great Dao is extremely rare."
“Normally, once you reach that stage, all spirits in the universe will have perished, the Great Dao will be in disarray, and no matter how powerful your primordial spirit is, you will not be able to extract even a trace of the divine essence of the laws.”
"Therefore, the journey of enhancing the immortal primordial spirit is useless if it encounters such a universe."
"In the beginning of the universe, it was not good either. The Great Dao was unstable, and even the Dao Seed could not be condensed."
"It must be a stable universe, but not one that occupies all the positions above the Dao Integration level."
"It's one in a hundred... Alas, although there are many universes, they are truly minuscule when viewed in the vast chaos. It's not easy to even emit a thought, search for the universe, and anchor it as a target, let alone with all these limitations..."
"To achieve great things is harder than climbing to heaven!"
Cao Ya sighed, "Even among ten or twenty immortals, there might not be one who achieves true greatness!"
In comparison, it is easier to rise to become an immortal primordial spirit within a single realm.
"Furthermore, the universe that Daoist Wang Fu spoke of would be very dangerous for even those with Dao Integration or Pure Yang strength to travel to."
"It should be known that even immortal primordial spirits cannot escape the cataclysmic disaster of the Great Destruction."
"Only by divine intervention can one cross this chasm!"
"Being cautious about this is fine."
Cao Ya returned to his cave, released his thoughts, traversed the void, stepped out of the primordial universe, and sensed the vast and mighty supreme energy rising in all directions of this universe.
It happens to be in the exact same direction as the ten major dojos in the central star river, as well as the Seven Phoenix Realms and the Dragon Palace.
"Buzz." The thoughts originating from the immortal primordial spirit also released goodwill.
In the same universe, unless there is enmity in the mortal realm, no one would go to the point of mutual destruction.
After all, a world, though it may only have one position of creation, has eighteen immortal achievements.
If the former becomes a blessing, the latter can be made up immediately if the conditions are met.
There is no irreconcilable conflict between the Great Dao.
Conversely, in some universes, they might even be able to join forces when vying for the laws of nature.
In this primordial universe, they are immortal ancestors, their power shaking the world.
But if the thought is reincarnated, it's hard to say what the situation will be.
As for carrying innate divine restrictions into the next life... such a precious item is something that immortal ancestors would not do unless there is an exceptional opportunity.
Even if a thought is lost, it has no effect; hundreds or thousands of thoughts will reappear in an instant.
As for the innate divine restriction... if it were lost, even an immortal ancestor would feel heartbroken!
"To break through to the seventh level and the Three Thousand Great Daos, one must gather all three of the Immortal Gourd's Primordial Spirit Refining System."
"Not to mention elevating every Great Dao to the level of the eighteenth level of innate divine restriction."
"Even if it's a Dao Seed, it still needs to be rounded up to a whole number."
Cao Ya knew very well that the history of the primordial universe was far too long.
Even though countless masters have left, many remain.
For example, the Seven Phoenix Realms and the Central Galaxy.
The four palaces are in relatively good condition. The Xuan Palace and Wu Palace have been abandoned for a long time, and the Huang Palace is also deserted. Only the Long Palace has yet to produce any signs of good fortune and lead its people to leave.
Even so, there are only a handful of those limited positions left: one Creation Realm, eighteen Immortal Realms, seventy-two Pure Yang Realms, and three thousand Great Dao Realms.
Cao Ya's ability to occupy a dominant position in both material and conscious matters, and to grow all the way to the realm of immortality, was also thanks to Lao Qiu.
Of course, from Lao Qiu's perspective, he probably never imagined that Cao Ya's rise would be so rapid.
You might think that it would take a long time for Cao Ya to advance to the Pure Yang level, and even longer to achieve immortality.
“It’s not some law that can lead to Pure Yang.” Cao Ya shook his head.
This is a limitation imposed by the rules of the universe, and no matter how talented you are, you cannot defy it.
It should be understood that in the universe, even though some places may differ greatly, the underlying order remains largely the same.
This is not a collection of creations with a unified concept, but rather a constraint imposed by the vast universe.
Even the workings of nature cannot be defied, let alone those of others.
What kind of prodigy could possibly achieve such greatness? Even his attainment of the Dao is questionable!
"The top training grounds in the Central Galaxy have come and gone, and countless generations have come and gone."
"The surrounding four palaces and star seas, the Xuan Palace and the Wu Palace, have already gone with the fate of creation."
"The Phoenix Palace is essentially the reincarnated Heavenly Phoenix, taking its place. It will soon be gone."
"Only one Dragon Palace remains, and that old dragon is also an unfathomable immortal."
"The best principles are basically all taken up. The occasional gaps are only because predecessors have left and successors have not yet had time to fill them."
"It was because of this that my nephew Jiao Fei attained the status of fortune and saintly virtue, and is on his way to immortality!"
“The outstanding individuals of the Seven Phoenix Realms, such as Qiao Kui and Zhong Shenxiu of the Taibai Sword Sect, Yuanqi Daoren and Jiedun Daoren of the Wuzhuang Temple, as well as the Heavenly Kings on the Xihuang Yangshen Ranking, have, in a sense, benefited from being born later.”
"Yeah, I guess so too."
However, Cao Ya thought that if his path was blocked, he would most likely use force to seize power!
"The ten immortal ancestors of the Central Galaxy, the Dragon Palace Ancestor, the two Buddhist Ancestors of the Seven Phoenix Realms, and one or two phoenixes below the Heavenly Phoenix..."
"Including me, there are only two or three empty slots for immortals in the primordial universe."
"If the pure Yang primordial spirit below is not suitable for the last two or three positions, then we will have to wait."
"Seven Phoenixes will be leaving soon, and the Five Great Dao Venerables will also depart one after the other. Suddenly, six or seven Immortal positions will be vacant, and there will also be vacancies in the Pure Yang and Dao Integration positions."
"For the primordial spirits in various places, if they have nothing to do with the Heavenly Phoenix and the Five Great Dao Venerables, they might be hoping that these six giants will lead their people away as soon as possible."
"Everyone knows that the future of the primordial universe is only a few hundred billion years away."
"Time may seem to stretch on endlessly, but when it comes to achieving great things, it becomes increasingly difficult."
Cao Ya discovered that the two Buddhist patriarchs of the Immortal Primordial Gods, as well as some Pure Yang Primordial Gods and Dao-Merging Primordial Gods, were all staying in the Seven Phoenix Realms, not yet on the Yang God Ranking, and had lost their freedom, clearly following Tian Huang'er.
In particular, the two patriarchs of Buddhism, Shakyamuni and Longjia, were both reincarnations of the primordial spirits of innate pure yang magic treasures. One was the Primordial Golden Stone, and the other was the Wheel of Reincarnation, ranking twenty-eighth and thirty-fourth respectively.
In a certain era, they seized the opportunity to be reincarnated and did not lose their pure Yang cultivation. They not only regained their peak power but also forcefully proved immortality.
Unfortunately, their Buddhist path offered no lessons or references, making it extremely difficult for them to achieve anything significant.
Therefore, the two patriarchs of Buddhism decided to seek refuge with Tianhuang'er, hoping to first secure a stable life before gradually plotting their own destiny.
"In the end, they really succeeded! In the Heavenly Phoenix Universe, Chen Qi was born, attained the Immortal status, and together with the two patriarchs of Buddhism, the three Buddhas created the world, witnessed creation, opened up a new universe, and became famous throughout the heavens!"
Of course, the Seven Phoenixes are still in the Primordial Universe, which is far from the timeline of "Burning Heaven".
Even the Second Patriarch of Buddhism couldn't think that far ahead.
Cao Ya rubbed his temples, not dwelling on these questions, but instead sending dozens of thoughts out of the Primordial Universe.
Outside, chaos and fog surged, making it difficult to find even a trace of a universe.
It occasionally flashes, but disappears immediately, making it extremely difficult even for an immortal primordial spirit to detect.
"These universes, whether naturally born or created by powerful beings, are all equally powerful."
"It was originally a seven-star item, a six-star immortal, and it is already quite difficult to be able to transmigrate through it."
Cao Ya also had patience, and his divine sense was far more powerful than that of ordinary immortals, allowing him to lock onto quite a few universes.
Unfortunately, some universes are already desolate and lifeless, so going there would be a waste of time.
Some were blocked, as the energy of creation, which spread in all directions, could not penetrate them at all.
The few who can enter are those who have been reincarnated and started over, achieving the primordial spirit, which is not a big problem. But for those who have reached the Dao Integration stage, it also depends on a lot of luck.
It's as if in a certain universe, Cao Ya's avatar, after becoming a primordial spirit, had a vacant position in the Dao Integration stage, which he could only watch with longing. But this was all because the great creator of that world, with his great supernatural powers, issued a decree, embedding it into this universe he had created, affecting all directions without leaving any place untouched.
The content of that prohibition was quite simple—outsiders could not attain enlightenment!
Even Cao Ya himself couldn't break the Heavenly Law of the Seven-Star Creation!
"Wouldn't it be better if you simply shut down the universe, preventing any external thoughts from crossing over?"
"Given the opportunity, you cut it off with your own hands..."
Cao Ya considered himself unlucky, but his clone's travels through that realm did bring him some unusual insights.
But it did nothing to help him, who was immortal.
Several other thoughts that had transmigrated were slightly better, and they successively entered the realm of the Dao-integrating Primordial Spirit.
But the chances of getting Chunyang next are slim, if not completely hopeless.
Cao Ya could only exert all his efforts to anchor himself in other universes in order to collect the laws.
At the same time, in the primordial universe, the birthday of Patriarch Guo Xiaoshan was also approaching.
Unlike the Seven Phoenix Realms, once you reach the Golden Core stage, you can hold a banquet in the Central Star River. Not to mention the Golden Core stage, even the Primordial Spirit stage is not enough. You can hold a grand banquet and invite people to attend.
Only the founders of each school can extend a grand invitation to guests from all directions.
He was the founder of a great sect and the patriarch who attained the Dao and became a Primordial Spirit!
The Dharma Body Realm, the Transformation Realm... let's just give up this little show-off mentality. If we insist on holding it, it will only make us a laughing stock.
As for Guo Xiaoshan, the founder of the Tianhe Sword Sect, he was naturally qualified as a Dao-aligned master.
The Heavenly River Sword Sect, whose leader was the third to face the tribulation in the Seven Phoenix Realms, was also located in the Central Galaxy and was renowned.
The heroes vividly remember the situations of the Wuzhuang Temple and Taibai Sword Sect, who had previously faced calamities, and were still astonished.
Moreover, who doesn't know that among Guo Xiaoshan's fellow disciples, there was also Su Xiang, who had also attained the Dao, and Chunyangzi, who was at the Yuanshen Dharma Body Realm and had been recognized as the master of a pure Yang magic treasure?
Of the original Seven Masters of Tongtian, two perished without achieving the primordial spirit, but of the remaining five, three have achieved the Dao!
Such a lineup would not be underestimated even by the heroes of the Central Galaxy.
"The Tianhe Sword Sect has an even more powerful figure among its members!"
Thinking of the enigmatic Cao Ya Daoist, even the Nascent Soul experts of the Central Star River couldn't help but waver.
"I've heard that Jiao Fei, the Daoist of the Tianhe Sword Sect, has also achieved Dao attainment."
"Really? That means there are two Dao Integration Nascent Souls and one Immortal!"
"Tsk tsk, with the Ten Great Dojos not emerging, who can rival them?"
"The Tianhe Sword Sect has truly prospered."
The heated discussions among various primordial spirits led to the Tianhe Sword Sect becoming a hot topic in the Central Star River.
Guo Xiaoshan found out and felt quite helpless.
