Old Qiu was an elderly man dressed in ancient clothes and wearing a tall hat, with white hair and beard. Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Those two gates are just empty shells. They are of no use to me."
"You were able to combine those two great paths through them; that is your destiny, and outsiders cannot imitate it."
Even the pure Yang primordial spirit of the Kunlun Dojo couldn't help but show a hint of envy on its face.
His pure Yang Dao, while not bad, is still considerably inferior to that of matter and consciousness.
It should be known that the forty-eight innate pure yang magic treasures are a symbol of the stability of the universe!
Each of the laws they correspond to is extraordinary, and among the three thousand great paths, they are considered the best.
Among them, the four gates and five mirrors are particularly prominent!
That is a treasure that exists in almost every universe, and even the order of its birth is unchanged!
This also clearly shows how important the four gates and five mirrors are to the universe!
The spirits of these magical artifacts have all become Creation Primordial Spirits so far!
Except for the last one, Tianhuang'er, all of them have transcended the boundaries and left, creating their own universes and living freely and eternally.
Although the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror is now just an empty shell, it is definitely still in the hands of the reincarnated Heavenly Phoenix. No one knows who she will give this treasure to when she leaves.
As for the shells of the four gates and four mirrors... they fell into the hands of different big shots.
In the past, after Lao Qiu attained Pure Yang, he also used his formidable power to seize the Gate of Mysterious Female and the Gate of Primordial Beginning, comprehending them and gaining considerable benefits. Upon achieving immortality and traversing the heavens, by a fortuitous coincidence, he collected these two Dao principles in another universe. Therefore, in the final manifestation of the Primordial Beginning Universe, for certain considerations, he did not occupy these two positions, leaving them for those with the right destiny.
What if there really is a primordial spirit, a prodigy, who has merged the two paths...?
If there were one more immortal being, or even one who could create a new destiny, that would be a good thing!
Because Lao Qiu was born in the Seven Phoenix Realm, he later broke away and came to the Central Star River to establish the Kunlun Dojo.
He was also quite concerned about the situation in the Seven Phoenix Realms, and made calculations from time to time.
Finally, when Cao Ya broke through to the Dao Integration stage, his outstanding performance was so remarkable that it seemed he could emulate the Ancestor of Fighting Magic. He broke free from the probability of the Xi Huang Yang Shen Ranking on his own, surpassing Feng Hou, Qiao Kui, and others. So, he left his sect to help Cao Ya.
In fact, he did not expect that Cao Ya would be able to obtain the Pure Yang and Immortal titles so quickly with the help of the two sects!
The first eighteenth immortal position in the primordial universe was not snatched by any of the long-established Pure Yang factions, but was instead obtained by the unexpectedly rising Cao Ya... It is truly lamentable how fickle fate is.
"Old Ancestor Qiu, I have nothing else to repay your kindness from back then..."
As Cao Ya spoke, he paused for a moment. Old Qiu's strength was so formidable that it was already close to the level of the Creation God. He was just waiting for the Heavenly Phoenix to leave before he could attain enlightenment. Cao Ya had no treasures to repay the kindness of the two sects for such a potential seven-star giant.
But then he thought, there are so many versions of myself in the system space, and I have enough supernatural powers and skills, why not take them out?
In any case, different universes don't really matter.
"I have a few methods to offer as a token of my gratitude. I hope you will not refuse, Elder Qiu."
Cao Ya raised her hand, and several dazzling lights flashed at her fingertips, captivating all who saw them.
He unleashed the profound mysteries of great supernatural powers such as "A Smile While Plucking a Flower" and "Slaying the Dao to See Me".
"Huh?" Old Qiu was slightly surprised. What kind of method was that, so peculiar?
"You were born from the hand of creation in some universe?"
Cao Ya smiled slightly at Lao Qiu's question, without answering, yet it seemed as if she had already responded.
These extraordinary skills actually originated from the Dao Venerable and Buddha of the Great Universe of the Supreme Being of This World. Both were at the Dao Fruit Realm, one complete and the other incomplete.
Of course, their unique skills, such as the Seven Swords of Heaven and the Tathagata Palm, were fully perfected during their time as beings on the other shore. After advancing to the Dao Fruit stage, they were also adjusted, but not significantly changed.
Before attaining the Dao Fruit, they were the oldest among the Other Shore Beings, reaching the Seven Star High Level!
Even other advanced Seven Star techniques only have two or three of their most essential moves that can compare to it!
For example, the "Nine Seals of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable" is only comparable to the "Seven Swords of Heaven-Slaying" and the "Buddha's Palm" in terms of the first three seals. The latter six seals are slightly inferior.
This also shows that the power of such a supernatural ability is unparalleled even within the seven-star level!
Even if Old Qiu hasn't taken that step yet, and even if he has already achieved great success, the "Smile with a Flower" and "Sever the Dao to See Me" techniques can still be helpful to him.
"A technique of creation?" The pure Yang primordial spirit was taken aback, staring at the profound mystery that Cao Ya was demonstrating, completely mesmerized.
In a daze, he saw a majestic Buddha smiling as he held up a flower, and he also saw an ancient Taoist master whose finger pointed out boundless sword energy that severed the mind and the Great Dao.
"Could it be that even within the realm of Creation Primordial Spirits, it is among the top-tier?" The Pure Yang Primordial Spirit exclaimed in horror.
As Lao Qiu's direct disciple, he also became a pure Yang primordial spirit, with the potential for immortality. His knowledge and understanding of the universe were also very profound.
"The Primordial Spirit of Creation, capable of creating its own world, can be considered the most supreme existence throughout history!"
"However, most of the great creations only have one universe and do not continue to collect the Great Dao to open a second or third realm. Only a very few still pursue greater strength!"
As he spoke, the pure Yang primordial spirit looked at his own teacher.
"Indeed, if a new universe is created and, without any mishaps, evolves to a stable stage, then under the guidance of creation, order will be maintained, the Great Dao will not be disrupted, and the end times will not occur. It can be called 'eternal'. And the primordial spirits within that universe, if they do not die in battles and struggles, will also truly live long and have no need to worry about the destruction of the universe."
"But is there truly no way forward beyond destiny?"
"Is creating a complete universe really the pinnacle?"
"The old Taoist's opinion is not entirely true."
Old Qiu spoke leisurely, saying that although he had not yet created his own world, he was already preparing for the second universe.
In short, Lao Qiu has collected more than three thousand Great Daos!
Some of these rules are repeated.
For Lao Qiu, even if the Primordial Spirit of Creation is the number one giant in the entire universe, he will not be satisfied. He still wants to try to pursue the ultimate of Creation, and even... beyond Creation!
Otherwise, with the Five Great Dao Venerables all able to steadily attain the Dao and create their own fortunes, how could Old Qiu still hold the top position among the Immortal Primordial Spirits, second only to the Heavenly Phoenix?
In the foreseeable future, it wouldn't be surprising if Lao Qiu's strength surpassed Tianhuang's.
"Perhaps the method of Ancestor Cao Ya was created by a great supernatural being who controlled two or three universes?"
That's what the pure Yang primordial spirit guessed.
At the same time, he yearned even more for the realm of immortality.
A universe, whether naturally formed or created by a powerful being, once it takes shape, opens up all realms above the Dao Integration Realm, expanding its area to be vast and boundless, enough for Nascent Soul experts of the first two realms to explore for billions of years.
However, once one reaches the Dao Integration level, relying on the laws of nature to explore the universe becomes much simpler.
Especially since he is an even stronger Pure Yang Primordial Spirit!
Unfortunately, without reaching the level of immortality, it is impossible to rely on one's own magical power to distract one's thoughts and devote them to the heavens!
Under the premise that the main body is free from worries, the soul travels through various universes, witnessing the customs, natural phenomena, and cosmic disasters of different worlds. It can also seek the realm of harmony with the Dao in different universes to nourish the main body and approach creation... Such an experience is what every pure Yang primordial spirit dreams of but cannot obtain.
He estimated that even if his mentor opened the Kunlun Universe, it would still take tens or hundreds of billions of years for the Dao Integration Realm to open up.
Furthermore, the cultivation of the Pure Yang Realm has not yet reached its peak, and the innate divine restrictions have not yet been condensed into eighteen strands.
Therefore, he looked up to his teacher, as well as Cao Ya, the ancestor of the fighting magic master!
Only after truly experiencing the difficulty of cultivating pure Yang did I realize how terrifying the progress of these three patriarchs was!
It was as if cultivating innate divine restrictions was as simple as eating and drinking for them.
The other immortal primordial spirits each have their own origins, some being the reincarnations of the spirits of pure yang magic treasures with extraordinary backgrounds, and others having been born thousands or trillions of years ago and not being people of this world.
In the true sense, the only immortals born and rising to prominence in the last hundred million years are Old Qiu, Master Doufasheng, and Cao Ya.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Master Tai Xuan is not particularly old in this life. In his previous life, as the Heluo Heavenly Book, he lived for countless years.
Only those three people are in their first complete incarnation, and there is no such thing as reincarnation!
Of course, this is because people don't know Cao Ya's background.
However, Cao Ya was just an ordinary person in her previous life, so it didn't really have much of an impact.
His transmigration, however, scattered his soul and caused him to fall into various realms, making his situation quite unique.
The reason why it has achieved its current strength is also inseparable from all the Cao Ya in the system space.
"Hmm, perhaps, such a realm truly exists beyond the realm of creation!"
"However, in my personal opinion, the creation of the world is fine for one universe, but if it's two or more, then we need to be more particular about it."
Cao Ya pondered for a moment before speaking: "The combination of multiple universes, how they are connected, and the intertwining of the Great Daos are also crucial."
He added, "Even if the Three Thousand Great Daos remain unchanged because of the underlying rules of the infinite heavens, and cannot be altered in any universe, it would be best to make certain adjustments to the order of many laws."
Old Qiu looked thoughtful. Cao Ya's words, upon careful consideration, made a lot of sense.
Otherwise, if it's just about opening up the world, one is indeed enough. Why bother with a second or third one?
"Of course, I haven't thought about anything too specific yet; these are just some general concepts," Cao Ya said with a smile. "I've only just reached Immortality; I'm still a long way from Creation."
"With your talent, you'll have your day sooner or later," Old Qiu said.
"However, your words did give me a lot of inspiration."
Cao Ya smiled; those were inspirations he drew from the vast universes of "Stellar Transformation" and "Panlong".
The primordial chaos, in its initial creation of the world, also experienced calamities, often collapsing after countless billions of years. During this period, no one attained enlightenment and transcended to become its fellow Daoist, a regrettable fact.
Later, Hongmeng adjusted its approach and, after countless years of research, devised a universe architecture of one main body and four secondary bodies, which would allow it to exist eternally without the risk of destruction.
The main universe is the largest, encompassing endless laws, all of which are manifested and can be comprehended by cultivators.
The four subsidiary universes are of different types, including those based on technology and those based on magic, and some powerful laws and rules cannot be manifested, but are only revealed in the innate abilities of some divine beasts.
Of course, the underlying rules of the [Immortal Gourd] and those two other seven-star universes differ, so they cannot be generalized.
Cao Yayou's ideas were not sure if they would be useful. If he were to become a creator in the future and create his own world, he would then know the truth.
"By the way, I discovered a universe on the verge of destruction, where all living beings have vanished, and the three thousand Great Daos are also collapsing. More than two thousand have been destroyed, leaving only a few remaining that have not yet been completely annihilated."
"Why don't we join forces and give that universe a try?"
Old Qiu suddenly extended an invitation.
"The one that Daoist Wang Fu discovered?" Cao Ya asked.
"What?" Old Qiu was taken aback.
Cao Ya realized what was happening, shook his head, and laughed, "I misunderstood."
Old Qiu also understood, and sighed, saying, "Such desolate universes are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges in the vast void. Even if they were real creations, we don't know how many there are."
"It is also very difficult to extract these remaining laws of the universe."
"We must first use the innate divine restriction to slow down the passage of time and prevent it from ending quickly. Only then will we have time to reorganize the Great Dao and meet the requirements."
"If there are living beings, it is a blessing that they can multiply and thrive for tens of millions of years. By then, civilization will have basically ceased to exist."
"After all, this universe on the verge of destruction no longer supports the birth of beings like the Primordial Spirit."
"Even if there are Qi Refining cultivators, how many years can they live?"
"Of course, most of the time, these special universes' civilizations have long since become extinct."
Cao Ya pondered for a moment and politely declined Wang Fu Daoren's invitation. He did not accept because he had little interaction with Wang Fu Daoren and was also worried that he would be putting in effort for nothing and gain nothing.
Ultimately, his path to immortality wasn't as profound as that of other great figures.
"I have dozens of laws, but unfortunately, they are all Dao seeds. I have not yet condensed a third law into an innate divine restriction."
"As for the two Great Daos that are the foundation of immortality, although both consist of eighteen innate divine restrictions, they must not be separated. Otherwise, any loss would easily lead to a drop in cultivation level."
"Even Dao Seeds cannot be sent out. Only innate divine restrictions can be sent out according to thoughts. However, immortals who choose this path would not act in this way unless they encounter a very suitable universe. After all, the risk is very high. Immortals also face dangers within the heavens, let alone one or two innate divine restrictions. If something unexpected happens and they are all lost, they will have nowhere to cry."
"However, I am different from other immortals; I also possess other extraordinary magical powers..."
"I don't want to reveal my true colors in front of Daoist Wang Fu, in case he has any ill intentions... I'm not afraid, I'm confident I can defeat him, but a lot of things will come up and it will be very troublesome."
"Besides, my lifespan is boundless, and I have a way out even if the primordial universe perishes, so there is no need to rush."
"And Old Qiu's invitation..."
Cao Ya pondered to himself, weighing the pros and cons.
"This old ancestor once sponsored me, so there's no need to be too wary of him."
"As for how much of my magic I have revealed, Old Qiu will probably only be amazed, not greedy."
"Even if I miscalculate, I'm not afraid! I can't beat Old Qiu, but I can still protect myself!"
"Moreover, Old Qiu's character is not like that. — As for Daoist Wang Fu, I don't know him."
"Hmm, we can give it a try!"
