Guo Songyang suddenly opened his eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise:
"Junior brother, have you followed the path of the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect?"
As a primordial spirit and the leader of a sect, he possessed keen insight and discerned that a different kind of power was lurking within Cao Ya's body.
It is not a legitimate sect of Xuanmen, but rather a demonic sect of Shenzong!
"Mm." Cao Ya nodded.
While staying in the Great Sun Phoenix Palace, he collected the seventy-two true teachings created by the Seven Phoenixes, but he did not practice them. Instead, he used them as a blueprint to create his own.
He has gone further down the path of the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect than the Orthodox Sect, and is practically equivalent to the Primordial Spirit Dharma Body Realm.
"Senior Brother Guo is as insightful as ever," Cao Ya said with a smile.
"Tsk tsk, junior brother, it seems you've gained quite a bit in the Great Sun Phoenix Palace," Guo Songyang remarked.
"Not bad." Cao Ya chuckled.
“Junior brother, you are too modest.” Guo Songyang shook his head and smiled. “The seventy-two true teachings created by the Seven Phoenixes were divided because of the appearance of the twenty-seven ancestors and the departure of the Victorious Fighting Ancestor. They felt that the true teachings were too powerful, so they specially divided them. Only thirty-six teachings were passed on to the mortal world, while the other thirty-six teachings were only spread in the underworld.”
"It must have taken a lot of effort for you to collect them all."
Guo Songyang clapped his hands in praise, but showed no sign of anger. He was not furious that Cao Ya had switched allegiance and embarked on the path of the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect.
【Immortal Gourd】The universe, the orthodox Xuanmen, the demonic Shenmen, and the Buddhist Men—these three paths of cultivation all lead directly to immortality and are the broad and promising road.
Buddhism may be slightly weaker, but it also has its own unique characteristics.
As for the orthodox Xuanmen sect and the demonic Shenmen sect, countless immortal primordial spirits, and even... creation primordial spirits, have appeared there!
Therefore, cultivators at the Qi Refining level have already explored these three cultivation paths quite extensively, while those at the Nascent Soul level naturally have explored them even more broadly.
Sometimes, when faced with a bottleneck, they will proactively change their approach, hoping to break through the impasse using other methods.
The so-called Divine Sect and Demonic Sect are actually paths to cultivate the body, while Buddhism focuses more on cultivating consciousness, and the Mystic Sect involves more energy.
Of course, this doesn't mean that these three approaches don't involve other aspects; it just means they emphasize certain aspects.
In the eyes of a master of the primordial spirit, cultivating multiple methods in pursuit of the Great Dao, including Taoism, Buddhism, and demonism, is not a big deal.
Although this is difficult, at most it is a combination of Taoist and demonic practices, Taoist and Buddhist practices, or Buddhist and demonic practices.
The unorthodox paths beyond Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonism have wildly different limits. The nine great wandering immortals of the unorthodox paths in the Seven Phoenix Realm are indeed very powerful, but even their disciples who follow the same lineage find it difficult to replicate their paths, let alone those Xuanmen, Demonic Sect, and Buddhist cultivators who want to learn from them.
The paths of the powerful on the three paths of Tao, Buddhism, and Demonism, before they merge with the Dao and attain the Primordial Spirit, can be followed by their disciples who have the talent to do so.
The Divine Sect Demonic Path is equivalent to the Dao-Merging Primordial Spirit realm of the Profound Path, and is an indestructible demonic soul.
The first layer of the primordial spirit in the Xuanmen corresponds to the immortal body of the Demonic Sect; the second layer of the primordial spirit, the Dharma body, corresponds to the blood-dripping rebirth of the Divine Sect and the Demonic Sect.
Cao Ya is currently in the process of being reborn from the ashes.
He descended to the mortal realm seeking an opportunity to attain enlightenment and to achieve immortality for his demonic soul.
"I wonder which path of the Demonic Sect you're following, Junior Brother? Supreme Heavenly Demon, Great Freedom Emperor, Yama Emperor, or Primordial Heavenly Demon? However, the positions of Supreme Heavenly Demon and Great Freedom Emperor have already been filled, and the position of Yama Emperor is vacant, but..." Guo Songyang said, shaking his head and giving Cao Ya a meaningful look.
Cao Ya understood immediately.
A great calamity has begun, and two of the Seven Phoenixes are about to be reincarnated. The path of the Yama Emperor is reserved for one of the phoenixes.
With Qi Huang watching from above, how could Cao Ya dare to seize the spot they had their eyes on? Was he out of his mind?
The titles "Supreme Heavenly Demon," "Great Free Heavenly Son," and "Yama Heavenly Son" are similar to ranks or attainments for those who have achieved great success in cultivation within the Divine Sect and Demonic Sect.
The positions of Supreme Heavenly Demon and Great Free Emperor had long been taken by Li Huang, who had been reincarnated in the previous two lifetimes.
Yama, the King of Hell, was reserved, but the Primordial Demon King was a special case and his spot was not taken.
The realms of the Dao-Merging Primordial Spirit and beyond are few and far between in the universe.
【Immortal Gourd】The universe contains three thousand Great Daos. Combining one of them can lead to the attainment of the Dao-integrated Primordial Spirit. Among these, the Demonic Sect, the Buddhist Sect, and unorthodox sects also occupy many positions. There are also Illusionary God Magic Treasures, Pure Yang Magic Treasures, and so on. Although they are objects, they also occupy at least one Great Dao.
So, there really aren't many roads left to choose from.
Those who came before us have taken our place and aligned themselves with the Great Dao. No matter how talented or extraordinary our descendants may be, unless they choose a different path, they will be destined to remain either a primordial spirit or a demonic being reborn through blood.
"Although the position of Primordial Heavenly Demon is vacant, Junior Brother, the Dao Integration position on this route should be occupied by Lin Xiaolian, the Dao Companion of Jiao Fei, a disciple of my Heavenly River Sword Sect, who is also the reincarnation of a Primordial Spirit Elder of the Demonic Sect... Hey, it's not that she herself has achieved Dao Integration, but rather that Lin Xiaolian's magic weapon is about to advance to the Illusion God level, thus taking up the Dao Integration position of Primordial Heavenly Demon," Guo Songyang said, somewhat embarrassed.
"Whether the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal can advance to the Illusion God level is of great importance."
"If it advances, it will instantly become a Divine Illusionary Treasure, an extremely rare type of Cave Heaven Treasure. It can house the disciples of my Heavenly River Sword Sect and isolate them from the influence of the Seven Phoenix Realms—mainly the Book of Life and Death and the Yang God Ranking!"
Finally, Guo Songyang clasped his hands in a fist salute, feeling that it was extremely inhumane to interrupt his junior brother's path to enlightenment.
However, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal concerns the entire Tianhe Sword Sect, and as the sect leader, he must consider the interests of the entire sect.
Well, I'll make it up to Junior Brother Cao Ya after we escape this ordeal...
Guo Songyang thought to himself.
In any case, the first generation leader, who was also the founder of the Tianhe Sword Sect and the ancestor of his father, Guo Xiaoshan, had lived in the universe for a long time and must have acquired many treasures. He would bestow magical treasures upon him to compensate his junior brother Cao Ya for his losses.
“I don’t follow the path of the Primordial Heavenly Demon,” Cao Ya said calmly, shaking his head.
He understood the sect leader's meaning.
This great calamity is the one that the Tianhe Sword Sect will face. If they do not make preparations in advance, I fear that after the calamity, almost all the disciples and members of the Tianhe Sword Sect will be wiped out.
As long as they remain in the Seven Phoenix Realm, they cannot escape the influence of the great calamity. Therefore, Ancestor Guo Xiaoshan and Ancestor Su Xiang plan to use the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal, a magic weapon that Jiao Fei's Daoist partner Lin Xiaolian currently possesses but is still at the True Form level, to help her leap to the Illusionary God level.
In this way, the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal can truly become a magical treasure of a grotto-heaven, with its own grotto-heaven world inside, isolating it from the outside world.
The disciples of the Tianhe Sword Sect must stay away from the Seven Phoenix Realm to escape their tribulation!
However, if one tries to escape, one will be targeted by the Seven Phoenixes. Those below the Nascent Soul level will have their names recorded in the Book of Life and Death, while those at the Nascent Soul level will have their names engraved on the Yang God Ranking.
Only by relying on the magical treasures of the cave heaven to isolate themselves from the influence of the Book of Life and Death and the Yang God Ranking can the disciples of the Tianhe Sword Sect escape from the Seven Phoenix Realm and avoid dying and disappearing because their soul imprints were crossed out on the Book of Life and Death by the Underworld Phoenix.
Of course, they couldn't leave the magical cave either.
Unless one can achieve the Nascent Soul Dharma Body Realm!
