"The Primordial Universe... well, all universes are like this. Below the Dao Integration Realm, as many as you want can appear, as long as you have the corresponding aptitude and comprehension, as well as cultivation techniques and treasures."
"When you reach the stage of attaining the Dao, there are many requirements. In addition to personal talent, you also need luck."
The patriarch shook his head, quite regretful, after defeating the opponent in the battle.
Countless geniuses have been trapped in the Nascent Soul and Dharma Body realms, unable to advance any further, because their path forward is blocked.
Cao Ya nodded slowly, recalling the perilous journey he had faced when he advanced to the Dao Integration Realm.
Of the three thousand Great Daos, there aren't many left.
If it weren't for his ability to draw inferences from other extraordinary systems, he would never have been able to master the ways of matter and consciousness!
Different methods lead to different laws that one can access.
If all the major paths involved in the practice you're cultivating are occupied... then you can only blame your bad luck!
"Su Xianghe's son, the spirit of that Mountain and River Cauldron, named Su Ganxiu, clearly has the potential to become a Pure Yang cultivator, but he has been stuck at the Dharma Body Realm and has even fallen into the Xi Huang Yang God Ranking..."
Master Doufasheng did not believe that Su Ganxiu possessed the power of him and Cao Ya to forcibly escape this ranking!
Besides, Su Ganxiu has basically lost the opportunity to achieve Dao.
"To this day, there are very few vacancies in the position of Dao Integration in the primordial universe."
"Most of the remaining ones are not strong enough and have no chance of being pure Yang."
“A few powerful, unclaimed paths happen to be incompatible with Su Ganxiu’s methods, and there’s nothing we can do about it.”
It's a pity that Su Ganxiu, who defeated the patriarch in a battle of magic, was originally a pure yang seed.
Cao Ya had met Su Ganxiu when they were in the Seven Phoenix Realm and knew of his talent.
He may not be as good as Zhong Shenxiu of the Taibai Sword Sect, but he is not far off. Like Jiao Shixiu, the son of Jiao Fei and Wu Niang, he was born too late, which caused him to miss the opportunity to achieve enlightenment. There was nothing he could do about it.
Countless others in this sea of stars are in a similar situation to Su Ganxiu and Jiao Shixiu.
"The Dao Integration is alright. There are at least three thousand positions. Throughout history, there have always been Dao Integration Primordial Spirits who followed the Creation and left empty positions."
"However, once you reach the Pure Yang level, there are only seventy-two of them, including forty-eight innate Pure Yang magic treasures! Moreover, there is one empty spot that is destined to be reserved for the forty-ninth Pure Yang treasure... Even if the magic treasure's primordial spirit reincarnates and continues along the path of its previous life, it may not seem to have much impact on others, but cultivators can only compete for a mere twenty or thirty Pure Yang treasures."
"There are only eighteen immortal beings among them!"
"The realm of creation, in an entire universe, only allows one person to enter."
Cao Ya also sighed, noting that the cultivation path in the [Immortal Gourd] universe was vastly different from that in other universes.
His luck was also quite good; he received a gift from Old Qiu, gaining control of the empty shells of the Gate of Mysterious Female and the Gate of Primordial Beginning, thus seizing control of consciousness and matter. These two laws originally belonged to two gates, but due to the reincarnation of the artifact spirits, they became true life forms. In ancient times, they surpassed Pure Yang, attained immortality and creation, and departed with their followers, leaving a vacancy for later generations.
Of course, even the most gifted person can hardly grasp this principle, hence the vacancy always exists.
Cao Ya's breakthrough, using the empty shell of a magic weapon as a catalyst, was indeed successful. His insights into various extraordinary systems helped him achieve unique accomplishments in the Dao of Consciousness and the Dao of Matter, putting him ahead of others.
Furthermore, based on these two principles, Cao Ya cultivated the Innate Divine Restriction and entered the Pure Yang realm. Finally, they both condensed eighteen Innate Divine Restrictions, then perfectly fused them, thus obtaining the Immortal Fruit.
There was one more vacancy for Chunyang, but the last Immortal Throne was taken by Cao Ya.
The immortality and creation of the primordial universe were fully utilized, and the pure yang and Dao-integrated elements were also about 80-90% complete.
"call out."
The master of the battle of magic flicked his finger, and three thousand points of light flashed and swirled, dazzling and colorful.
However, the patriarch who defeated the master in the battle did not feel proud; instead, he sighed softly.
With the Heavenly Phoenix occupying the pit, no one else in this world can ascend to it.
Even with Lao Qiu's unparalleled talent, he was still trapped.
"Fortunately, that Heavenly Phoenix is about to leave." Cao Ya smiled. The commotion in the Seven Phoenix Realms could not escape the notice of various important figures, not to mention that Cao Ya was already aware of the timeline's development.
"This is indeed a fortunate event." Master Doufasheng also smiled.
Old Qiu, along with himself, Daoist Guangcheng, Elder Taixuan, and others, totaling five Dao Venerables, are all at the pinnacle of immortality. Without the Heavenly Phoenix, they could all attain the Dao and create their own destiny.
Compared to the other six phoenixes, or the two patriarchs of Buddhism, they are the ones who most hope that the Heavenly Phoenix will achieve perfect merit!
However, Daoist Chun Jun, Daoist Wang Fu, the Old Dragon of the Dragon Palace, as well as Cao Ya, the Second Patriarch of Buddhism, Li Huang, and others have not yet completed their path to immortality and are still far from achieving creation.
"By the way, I've discovered two decent universes, both naturally formed. Although they've been stable for billions of years, the number of beings who can reach the Dao, including those at the Pure Yang and Immortal levels, is still not full. If you're interested, you might want to give it a try."
Suddenly, the Victorious Ancestor spoke, and with a flick of his sleeve, two cosmic coordinates appeared.
As a long-established immortal, the power that the ancestor of the Battle of Magic had projected into the heavens was unimaginable.
"Thank you, Ancestor!" Cao Ya's eyes lit up; this was exactly what he needed!
"Anyway, I don't need it anymore." Master Doufasheng said with a smile. At his level, he was just waiting for Tianhuang to take the lead. He no longer needed to continue collecting the Great Dao.
Cao Ya exclaimed, "To defeat the patriarch in a battle of magic, one could say that he is a potential seven-star level expert!"
In any universe, a seven-star level being is the most powerful and supreme existence! The ultimate being among the ultimate beings!
[Immortal Gourd] The Creator of the Universe, [Peerless Sovereign] The Other Shore of the Universe, [Primordial] The Primordial Saint of the Universe, [Snow Eagle Lord] The Primordial Life Form of the Universe, [Sacred Ruins] The Immortal Emperor...
Despite Cao Ya's overall combat strength approaching that of a Seven Star, it's uncertain when he will actually take that step.
He was only a sixth-star beginner, possessing only an immortal primordial spirit with a few dozen laws.
Even if the other Cao Yas have cultivation levels at the peak of the sixth star, they are still far from reaching the limit below the seventh star!
"Did the patriarch evolve the human race?" Cao Ya asked.
“No,” said the Victorious Master of Battle. “We and the Heavenly Phoenix lived in different times, and the choices we should have made were also very different.”
Cao Ya pondered for a moment and then understood the meaning of "conquering the ancestral master in magical combat".
For a universe to stabilize as quickly as possible, it needs innate pure yang magic treasures, which led to the creation of the previous forty-eight treasures. Furthermore, it needs the birth of human beings to develop civilization.
People like Tianhuang'er, and other past creations, first opened up a great world in the primordial universe, evolved a unique civilization and order, and developed a diverse range of human races. Only then did they leave, create their own world, accelerate the evolutionary process, save time, and allow their own universe to be consolidated as soon as possible, without the worry of being destroyed halfway.
Old Qiu, Doufasheng Ancestor, and Cao Ya all originated from the Seven Phoenix Realm, while Chun Jun Dao Ren was among the first human races in a realm created by a creator in ancient times.
Within the Star Sea, there are quite a few primordial spirits who share the same origins as them.
The reason why those realms are only recorded in ancient historical records and can be consulted, unlike the Seven Phoenix Realms which can be seen by flying to that starry sky, is because those Creation Primordial Gods have long since gone far away, naturally carrying with them the planes they created.
However, it is clear that even with the guidance of creation, immortality, pure yang, and harmony with the Dao, it is not easy for a world to develop to its peak and produce a golden age.
The time required is measured in tens of thousands of years!
Before the end of the cycle appeared, and before the primordial universe faced the calamity of annihilation, the powerful figures from all sides were in no hurry and could act step by step.
However, in this age, the end times have already manifested, and people can no longer remain as calm as Mount Tai.
If later generations, like their predecessors, evolve human races and civilizations and achieve success, then they can escape the primordial universe... needless to say, other immortal primordial spirits have almost no hope of creation, and those below, such as those who merge with the Dao or those who are pure Yang, cannot even become immortal!
With this in mind, and considering that he had defeated the patriarch in a battle of magic, he naturally suppressed such thoughts and decided to leave directly.
To the left and right, he has a suspended dojo, with many registered disciples and numerous capable individuals under his tutelage, including those of pure yang, Dao-harmonizing, primordial spirit, Dharma body, and incarnation, all of whom are quite accomplished.
Once he opens up a new universe, these primordial spirit disciples will be able to help him organize the three thousand great Daos and temporarily wield the innate pure Yang magic treasures to stabilize the new universe. Even if it takes longer, they will live forever, so it doesn't matter.
At that time, Tianhuang and the five Dao Venerables left one after the other, taking many people with them. Naturally, there were many vacant positions in the Creation, Immortal, Pure Yang, and Dao Integration categories.
This is undoubtedly good news for cultivators who are still in the primordial universe.
This sea of stars will usher in its last golden age, after which it will be forever silent.
"Before the new universe is established, ordinary people and disciples at the Qi Refining level will have to live and reproduce in the cave-heaven treasures."
“Those who are of the primordial spirit will disperse to the ten directions to help me guide the laws and organize the way of heaven and earth, so as to prevent them from getting out of control and heading towards destruction.”
"I have traveled throughout the heavens and seen many universes created by the Creator God. Due to a moment of negligence, the heavens collapsed and the earth caved in. Before reaching its peak, it was destroyed. The Creator God had no choice but to start over."
The patriarch, who had won the battle, was naturally unwilling to see such a problem arise in his own universe.
"Moreover, such experiences can also help them. If they gain some insights, then after the universe is fully formed and the realms above Dao Integration are opened, there is a great chance that they can achieve Dao Integration, or even Pure Yang and Immortality."
Before a universe is perfected, the primordial spirit incarnation and the Dharma body can rise, but to merge with the Dao is out of the question.
The Great Dao hasn't even stabilized yet, how could it possibly allow cultivators to merge with it physically?!
As he spoke, the Victorious Fighting Ancestor looked at Cao Ya and extended an invitation, saying, "If you have the capacity, you can enter my universe and take charge of the four major gates..."
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya naturally nodded in agreement. It wasn't a difficult task for him; in fact, it would be beneficial.
The Four Great Gates are the foremost of the forty-eight innate pure yang magic treasures.
He was only familiar with the second-ranked Gate of Mysterious Female and the fourth-ranked Gate of Primordial Beginning.
The first gate to all wonders and the third gate to the Great Void are still lacking.
If he wants to achieve great things in this world, he will sooner or later face the challenge of collecting the Great Dao corresponding to the Gate of Myriad Wonders and the Gate of the Great Void.
With experience, subsequent attempts may be easier.
After leaving the suspended dojo, Cao Ya headed towards the Kunlun dojo.
If we say that defeating the patriarch in a battle of magic was the original source of the Tianhe Sword Sect from which he came, then...
Although Old Qiu had no connection with the Tianhe Sword Sect, the debt of gratitude he owed was still profound.
Otherwise, Cao Ya would not have been able to achieve Pure Yang and Immortality so easily.
This immense kindness is heavier than mountains and seas!
Kunlun Dojo, like Suspended Dojo, Fuli Star Dojo, and Kongtong Dojo, is a newly opened Immortal Dojo in the Central Star River.
In fact, it has existed for more than ten thousand years.
However, compared to the Thirty-Three Heavens Dojo and the Eight Trigrams Star Domain Dojo, it seems too young.
However, under the guidance of the Immortal Ancestor, Pure Yang was also born, and there were twenty or thirty Dao Integration Realm cultivators. The number of Primordial Spirit Incarnations and Dharma Bodies below them was countless.
Upon Cao Ya's arrival, the pure Yang primordial spirit of Old Qiu's direct disciple personally came out to greet him with great respect.
After all, no matter how kind Old Qiu was, this Taoist Cao Ya was still the eighteenth immortal in the primordial universe!
Pure Yang was utterly vulnerable before him.
"That must be Ancestor Cao Ya?!" The primordial spirits from all directions, upon seeing Cao Ya, began to discuss among themselves.
"The Central Galaxy and the Four Great Star Palaces are all said to be places where Ancestor Cao Ya's talent and temperament are on par with that of Ancestor Qiu... Judging from Ancestor Cao Ya's cultivation progress, there really is no problem!"
“In the case of these two ancestors, the universe since its creation has not exceeded the size of a palm.”
"It's extremely rare to find someone who can defeat an ancestor in a battle of magic."
Of course, the primordial spirits of the Kunlun Dojo are also well aware that every one of them who can become immortal is a hero who has shaken the ages!
However, even though they are both immortal, there are differences.
Clearly, Ancestor Qiu and Ancestor Cao Ya are top-tier, and Ancestor Sheng is not weak in combat. Ancestor Tai Xuan and Ancestor Wang Fu, on the other hand, are slightly inferior.
This mainly refers to the speed of cultivation, not current strength. Otherwise, in the eyes of outsiders, Cao Ya could never be compared to Lao Qiu.
After all, one is an ordinary immortal, while the other is the strongest immortal, without exception!
Without Tianhuang appearing, no one can rival Lao Qiu! The Doufa Ancestor, Guangcheng Daoist, Taixuan Zhangren, Chunjun Daoist, Wangfu Daoist, the two Buddhist patriarchs, Lihuang, Xihuang, Wahuang, and others are all no match for Lao Qiu's abilities.
In fact, Cao Ya thought to himself that even with all his efforts and all his magical power, he could barely protect himself from Lao Qiu. It was almost impossible for him to even draw, let alone win.
"Throughout the history of the primordial universe, those who are immortal like Old Ancestor Qiu and Old Ancestor Cao Ya are all capable of becoming Creation Primordial Gods!"
The primordial spirits looked up to Cao Ya with reverence and admiration. Their resources and conditions were far superior to those of Cao Ya in the past, but in terms of their understanding of the Great Dao, they were worlds apart.
When the old patriarch Qiu gave away the empty shells of the Gate of Mysterious Female and the Gate of Primordial Beginning, there were still some primordial spirits in the Kunlun Dojo who had reservations.
But Cao Ya Dao Ren's later progress proved that Master Qiu's vision surpassed that of others.
"Daoist Cao Ya, this way please." The pure Yang primordial spirit of the Kunlun Daoist Temple led the way.
"Greetings, Ancestor Cao Ya!"
The Dao-Merging Primordial Spirits and ordinary Primordial Spirits along the way all bowed respectfully upon seeing him.
Cao Ya nodded, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation.
He actually became an ancestor too?
Well, they're all immortal now, already holding the status of supreme ancestors.
Even those who have attained the Dao Integration Realm or the Pure Yang Realm are qualified to be revered as ancestors in the Central Star River Land, let alone the Immortals!
"Old Ancestor Qiu".
Finally, at the heart of the Kunlun Dojo, Cao Ya met Old Qiu and immediately bowed respectfully.
"Without the help of the Ancestor, I might not have been able to achieve the Immortal Realm."
