"The Gate of Mysterious Female? The Gate of Primordial Beginning?! These two gates are hidden in some unknown corner of the universe, undiscovered by anyone. How could they suddenly appear in the Seven Phoenix Realms?"
"Wait! The Great Dao that Cao Ya has attained is precisely..."
Outside the Seven Phoenix Realm, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the two portals of the accompanying universes in the flowing light, his heart burning with excitement.
If he obtains these two gates, the shortcomings along his path can likely be easily overcome.
Without hesitation, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan's eyes hardened, and the Weiyang Sword Formation was activated again, transforming into a giant hand that fiercely grabbed at the stream of light.
"How dare you?!" Jiao Fei roared in anger upon seeing this, unleashing an invisible sword that momentarily blocked Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan.
Lin Xiaolian, Xu Qing, and Pang Wei also took action to intercept Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan.
They knew very well that these two portals that suddenly flew from the depths of the universe to the Seven Phoenix Realm were related to Cao Ya's Dao Integration, and they could not afford to lose them!
At this moment, the other three primordial spirits, having realized what was happening, also had a flicker in their eyes. Seeing that Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan was being obstructed, they temporarily abandoned their intention to attack.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a sword light flew out from within the Seven Phoenix Realm. It did not form any sword formation; it was just a simple sword aura containing pure killing intent, which struck directly at Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan.
This was a powerful sword strike that Cao Ya unleashed during his path to enlightenment.
The actions of Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan, which hindered his path to enlightenment, were the greatest source of hatred!
"This time, I've stirred up a hornet's nest," Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan laughed, leaping away to avoid the sword light. Behind him, a desolate star was afflicted, cleaved in two by the sword.
Obstructed by this, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan was unable to make another move, and the stream of light escaped into the Seven Phoenix Realm.
"Very well, it seems this item is destined to be out of reach of this old Daoist. I will have to find those four flying swords instead." Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan stood under the starry sky, gazing at the Seven Phoenix Realm, and sighed.
Jiao Fei and the others also stood still, no longer slaying the Ghost Ancestor with their swords.
The pressure on a Dao-Merging Primordial Spirit is truly immense.
If it weren't for Cao Ya's Dao attainment, they probably wouldn't have taken action.
However, they were also quite curious. Since they had already left the Seven Phoenix Realm, why hadn't that Lord Xi Huang given an order to the experts on the Yang God Ranking to come out and capture them?
Of course, this is a good thing. Without the pressure, they are much calmer and not in a hurry to leave.
"Fifth Sister," Jiao Fei called out in his heart.
"Yes, I'm here. I can use the [Nine Cauldrons Yin-Yang Shifting Technique] at any time to transfer you to Tiangu Star." Wu Niang's gentle voice also echoed in his mind.
Having received Wu Niang's clear answer, Jiao Fei immediately felt reassured and was no longer in a hurry.
“We should all enter the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal, lest the Nether Phoenix erases the Book of Life and Death. Without obtaining the Primordial Spirit Body, we cannot refine the imprint of the Book of Life and Death, and will be subject to others,” Jiao Fei said. With a flick of his body, he, Xu Qing, and Pang Wei entered the inner world of the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal.
The many disciples of the Tianhe Sword Sect, along with their relatives, are now scattered throughout the mountains and forests, where there is quite a lot of open space.
They were unaware of the struggles outside, so there was no need to bring up these matters to disturb their resolve.
The four primordial spirits stood somewhere inside the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal, their gazes piercing through the void, seemingly fixed on the Seven Phoenix Realms.
"Those two portals, I heard, disappeared completely after those two Creation Masters broke through the boundary, and no one knows where they are hidden in the universe. How come they suddenly appeared today and took the initiative to come to the Seven Phoenix Realm?" Lin Xiaolian asked in confusion.
"It seems that a great figure in the universe is pleased to see Master Cao Ya achieve Dao," Jiao Fei said with a smile.
On the other side, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan pondered and felt that the arrival of those two portals was definitely not a matter of chance. It must have been the work of some important figure who specially sent these two items to help Cao Ya achieve Dao.
"Those guys from the Tianhe Sword Sect are really lucky," Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan sighed.
Seeing that no pursuers were about to appear, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan was not in a hurry. He quietly observed the Seven Phoenix Realms, wanting to see if Cao Ya's journey to the Dao Integration stage would be successful.
Within the Seven Phoenix Realm, on the Miao territory, Cao Ya looked up at the sky. The stream of light descended, and apart from the Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan from beyond the heavens, there was no other obstruction.
Even Qi Huang, for reasons unknown, did not stop them.
He didn't even immediately give orders to hunt down Jiao Fei and Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan.
Cao Ya found Qi Huang's thoughts unfathomable and decided not to dwell on them. His immediate priority was to attain enlightenment!
“I was about to give up just now. After missing a decade or two of arduous cultivation, I am indeed lacking in the necessary skills to achieve Dao.” Cao Ya said with a light smile, raising his hand and beckoning the stream of light to stop in front of him.
"However, with these two things, I will surely be able to attain the Dao!"
At this moment, Cao Ya was full of confidence.
As the light dissipated, two portals were revealed inside. They appeared to be no taller than a person, but vaguely, they seemed to support the cosmos, infinitely high and infinitely large.
The Gate of the Mysterious Female! The Gate of the Primordial Beginning!
A wisp of divine sense reached out and entered the two portals. As Cao Ya refined them, many thoughts flashed through his mind:
I was about to fail because I lacked the necessary skill, but unexpectedly, I suddenly sensed something and sure enough, I saw the two portals fly through the air and land in my hands...
According to that premonition, this opportunity was not a gift from heaven, but rather a gift from Old Qiu... Heh, I really didn't expect that Old Qiu, the head of the ten patriarchs of the Daoist sect in the Seven Phoenix Realm, could actually get his hands on two of the four major sects... Well, with Old Qiu's cultivation, I wouldn't be surprised if he even got his hands on the main bodies of the four major sects...
The primordial spirits of the four major portals had long ago attained the status of Creation Primordial Spirit and left the Primordial Universe. What remained were only incomplete original forms, which were used to maintain the Primordial Universe and prevent its extinction...
Otherwise, if it weren't for this, and if it weren't for my own will or lack of resistance, how could I possibly refine the Gate of Mysterious Female and the Gate of Primordial Beginning with my magical power alone...
I must repay this opportunity from Old Qiu… Well, with Old Qiu's cultivation level, second only to Tian Huang'er in the Primordial Universe, he doesn't need the help of a nobody like me… In any case, I'll remember this favor…
Well, it's best to refine the two portals first, then integrate them with the primordial spirit to achieve Dao unity...
Cao Ya pondered for a moment, then accelerated the refining process, enveloping the two portals with magical power.
At the same time, he did not interrupt the process of merging with the Dao, and it was still in progress. However, since the two major portals had not yet merged into his primordial spirit, he lacked some foundation and had not succeeded.
He is currently only holding on by relying on his cultivation level.
As long as he can hold out until the two major portals are fully refined, then achieving Dao will be as easy as turning his hand.
My cultivation foundation is the "Heavenly River Orthodox Method." Of the three thousand Great Daos contained in this method, only four are truly effective. Although Master Guo Xiaoshan and Patriarch Su Xiang both cultivated the "Heavenly River Orthodox Method," they had different opportunities and methods, and they comprehended different innate Great Daos, which is why they were able to achieve their respective Daos...
Now, of the four great paths of the Heavenly River Orthodox Method, three have already been occupied, leaving only one vacant. As long as I can achieve Dao integration through the Heavenly River Orthodox Method, no one else will be able to reach the realm of Yuan Shen Dao integration through this single technique...
However, after entering the system space, I changed my origins and embarked on the path of the Gate of Mysterious Female and the Gate of Primordial Beginning...
Cao Ya chuckled, having almost finished refining the two innate portals.
