Cao Ya's eyebrows twitched slightly, and two seemingly unrelated auras suddenly appeared, flashing out within the starry sky around him.
Suddenly, Cao Ya paused, then clapped his hands and laughed.
"So it's these two fellow Daoists!"
Those two profound and perfect wills, though only wisps, were still unfathomable.
"Fellow Daoist Cao Ya."
A certain aura emanated from them, which was none other than the Gate of Mysterious Female and the Gate of Primordial Beginning!
Of course, that's not entirely accurate. The spirits of the two gates have acquired different identities after reincarnation.
"Whoosh." Around the two consciousnesses, the void shifted, and light flowed, naturally transforming into the Great Dao, giving rise to endless wondrous methods that were intoxicating, far surpassing the Daoist cultivation of immortality.
"These two big shots are among the oldest in the primordial universe."
"Who knows how powerful they have become now, or whether they have even created two or three universes?!"
Cao Ya was awestruck; a seven-star level being was someone he couldn't match even with his current strength.
Because he himself had carefully sensed the incomplete Dao essence contained within the two gates—after all, the primordial spirit had departed and the Great Dao had been extracted, so it was naturally not at its peak! —Cao Ya would never mistake these two people!
The consciousness of the Xuanpin seemed to chuckle and said, "Cao Ya, your strength is not bad. You have actually cultivated an immortal primordial spirit in such a short time."
The primordial consciousness also spoke with a smile: "Whether it is Old Qiu or you, Cao Ya, you should both be seeds of creation."
"I don't deserve such praise from you two fellow Daoists," Cao Ya said modestly. He truly believed that there was a vast distance between himself and the Primordial Spirit of Creation.
“No need to be so modest,” Xuanpin said with a smile. “The primordial universe is about to perish. No matter what your choice is, because you were born a little late, there isn’t enough time left for you to cultivate your destiny.”
"I have three innate divine restrictions here, which I will give to you as a token, hoping that you will attain enlightenment soon."
After speaking, Xuanpin's consciousness stirred, and three colorful rays of light flew out.
"You don't need to refuse. For us, refining an innate divine restriction is just a matter of putting in more effort. But as creations, we are eternal and immortal within our own universe, and what we have in abundance is time!"
Yuanshi said in a calm tone, "We were born from this world, and even though we have left, we still occasionally keep an eye on things. So, if there are immortals with certain abilities who still have some connection, then bestowing innate divine restrictions upon them is not a big deal."
He also released three beams of light, surging with extraordinary meaning, which were also innate divine restrictions.
After a moment's thought, Cao Ya used his immortal magic to collect the six innate divine restrictions given to him by Xuanpin and Yuanshi.
But he didn't take it for free. He made a gesture, saying, "Fellow Daoists, I also have a few cultivation methods here..."
He took out the phrases "A Smile While Plucking a Flower" and "Slaying the Path to See Me" and returned them to the two as gifts.
However, the two people who appeared were simply looking out for Cao Ya and wanted to lend a hand.
They were already blessed with extraordinary abilities, their strength had reached its peak, and they had no worries about the future. Naturally, they didn't need Cao Ya's future or any rewards. If they weren't from the same universe, Cao Ya would have gone far on the path of matter and consciousness, achieving considerable skill, and wouldn't have shown himself if they hadn't taken notice.
But since Cao Ya had already given them a gift, the two thought it over and decided it wouldn't be right to refuse, so they accepted it.
But when he actually touched it with his mind, he couldn't help but let out a soft cry.
The extraordinary nature of these techniques even made those with true talent take notice!
Seeing this, Cao Ya smiled inwardly. Even at the advanced Seven Star level, such a divine skill could be used as a trump card!
"Haha, it seems your luck isn't bad either," Yuanshi laughed.
"Among the countless heavens, how many creations are there? No one can say for sure," Xuanpin sighed softly.
He could sense that the powerful figures who created these unique skills had gone further on the path of creation than he, Yuanshi, and even Zhongmiao and Taixu!
As for the universe and creation, even a genuine primordial spirit of creation cannot fathom the entire chaotic void.
However, all creation has a kind of unseen enlightenment, and from ancient times to the present, no one has ever transcended creation!
"But in this primordial universe, there will soon be five more Creation Realm experts," Yuan Shi said with a smile.
“Tianhuang’er, it’s time for her to go.” Xuanpin nodded and said, “She has stayed in the Primordial Universe long enough since she attained enlightenment.”
As they spoke, the wills of creation shook this part of the starry sky and vanished in an instant.
Even Cao Ya couldn't pinpoint how the two had managed to escape.
He could only marvel at how ridiculously powerful the seven-star fortune was!
"Hmm, for no reason at all, I've gained six more innate divine restrictions. Not bad luck," Cao Ya suddenly laughed.
It is not difficult to refine these innate divine restrictions into his Dao seed.
He returned to White Earth, secluded himself for cultivation, and continued to distract himself with his thoughts, immersing himself in the boundless void.
Finally, on the eve of the upheaval in the Seven Phoenix Realm, Cao Ya's progress was remarkable.
Leaving aside the fundamental principles of matter and consciousness, they have already reached their true pinnacle.
The remaining ones numbered over a hundred laws, which could be considered as entering the intermediate level of the six-star stage.
At the same time, there are eighteen laws, each condensed into an innate divine restriction, such as fire and lightning.
The three paths of reincarnation, time, and void are two innate divine restrictions.
Furthermore, there is the principle of cause and effect, which directly consists of three innate divine restrictions, the third law in Cao Ya's hands!
Cao Ya asked himself, not counting other extraordinary systems, his own realm alone could be considered "outstanding" within the realm of immortal primordial spirits.
"Unfortunately, to reach the advanced level of the sixth star, one needs a thousand laws, and to reach the peak of the sixth star, one needs two thousand!"
Cao Ya shook his head. How many universes would one have to go to extract so many Great Dao Laws?
"It's time to set off." Cao Ya walked out of White Earth Star and looked towards the direction of the Seven Phoenix Realm.
With his strength, he could see that the flashing of various lights foreshadowed the unrest in the Seven Phoenix Realm.
“Since you’ve decided to leave…” Cao Ya pondered for a moment, then flicked his fingers, leaving behind several superior Daoist techniques on White Earth Star.
It is neither a divine skill from other universes nor a method of the Tianhe Sword Sect, but rather something Cao Ya created himself.
As an immortal being who wields over a hundred laws, Cao Ya naturally created numerous methods based on these great principles.
As for whether this white planet will be discovered and its treasures unearthed in the future, or whether it will simply fall into silence and eventually disappear into the long river of history, perishing along with the primordial universe...
Cao Ya didn't care anymore; he just did it as a matter of convenience, regardless of whether there was a destined person or not.
"Whoosh." Immediately, Cao Ya took a step and left the Bagua Star Domain Dojo. In a few steps, he walked out of the Central Star River, passed through the four major star palaces, and arrived outside the Seven Phoenix Realm.
"Old Master Qiu, Master Doufasheng, Daoist Guangcheng, Elder Taixuan... are all paying attention."
"That's true. Tianhuang is gone, and they will soon be pursuing their own path to enlightenment. This is their lifelong goal, so how could they not care?"
“Even Daoist Wang Fu, Daoist Chun Jun, and that old dragon are watching the Seven Phoenix Realm.”
"Soon there will be many vacant spots on the Great Dao, who wouldn't be envious?"
"Being able to extract the Great Dao in the Primordial Universe is naturally much easier than having thoughts in other universes."
All the immortal primordial spirits are interconnected and can sense each other's movements.
However, the key now lies in the Seven Phoenix Realms, where the immortals will not participate.
Cao Ya also saw that the primordial spirits of Wuzhuang Temple and Taibai Sword Sect, as well as his own Tianhe Sword Sect lineage, including the other four sons, had all arrived at the Seven Phoenix Realm.
But those who actually took action were mainly Jiao Fei, Zhong Shenxiu, and Jie Dun Dao Ren; the Yuan Qi Dao Ren was merely there to hold the fort.
Other Dao-Merging cultivators, such as Guo Xiaoshan and Su Xiang, were simply not qualified to make a move.
The remaining ordinary primordial spirits are even less worth mentioning.
Anyone who comes into contact with the Xi Huang Yang God Ranking will be illuminated by a beam of light and immediately be listed on the ranking.
"Swoosh!" Among the four experts from the three major sects, Zhong Shenxiu was the most decisive. Without saying a word, he drew his sword and slashed.
Zhong Shenxiu had only achieved the Dao Integration stage before, but it was only after the Tianhe Sword Sect underwent its tribulation that he attained the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.
Of course, within the Taibai Sword Sect, with Qiao Kui trapped, Zhong Shenxiu was already the number one expert!
The founding patriarch and other outstanding disciples may have one or two who achieved the Dao and attained the primordial spirit, but they are far inferior to Zhong Shenxiu.
"Boom! Boom!!" Zhong Shenxiu's swordsmanship was extraordinary and unparalleled, so exquisite that even an immortal would admire it.
Of course, if that were the case, given the foundation of the Seven Phoenix Realm, how many innate divine restrictions could a newly promoted Pure Yang cultivator possibly cultivate? He would hardly pose any threat!
"Whoosh..." Unfortunately, after Zhong Shenxiu obtained the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda and became a Pure Yang cultivator, he also went into seclusion for a long time to completely refine it.
This innate pure yang magic treasure is a treasure of merit and also corresponds to the killing luck, one of the five lucks.
Zhong Shenxiu was originally a notorious "God of Slaughter" in the Seven Phoenix Realm!
That killing luck is the pure Yang path that is most suitable for him!
When paired with killing luck, one naturally accumulates the most merit; when the two are combined, immortality is within reach.
At this moment, Zhong Shenxiu, wielding the profound mystery of killing intent, used a celestial sword to cleave through the sky with unstoppable force. Simultaneously, he used the Dao of Merit to activate the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, making it even more powerful.
In this state, Zhong Shenxiu would be utterly defeated if faced directly by ordinary pure yang cultivators!
The Daoist Jiedun of Wuzhuang Temple twitched a few times, realizing he was no match for Zhong Shenxiu.
Of course, they are allies and will not turn against each other.
"Clang!" Daoist Jiedun also made his move. As a veteran of the Pure Yang sect, his strength was equally impressive.
"They are all pure Yang primordial spirits!" Jiao Fei sighed. He was the representative of the Tianhe Sword Sect, but he was inferior to Zhong Shenxiu and Jiedun Daoren.
"Jiao Fei, hurry to the Great Sun Phoenix Palace and release the heroes on the list!" At this moment, the Yuanqi Daoist quickly transmitted his voice.
"Alright!" Jiao Fei knew the importance of things. He had the most pure Yang magic treasures on him. In addition to the River Luo Heavenly Book, the Mountain and River Cauldron, and the pure Yang Immortal Root, the invisible sword had also taken a step further during this period, transforming into the Yin Yang Myriad Swords Invisible Gourd, which was a pure Yang treasure acquired later.
Furthermore, he also mastered many superior paths, including not only the void and saintly virtue, but also fortune and calamity.
Given his current Dao Seed status, Jiao Fei is not afraid of even a common pure Yang with only one ordinary law and one or two innate divine restrictions.
If you include the four great magic weapons... Jiao Fei was able to advance and retreat freely even under attacks from a peak Pure Yang cultivator.
Therefore, Jiao Fei is the most suitable candidate among the four to set foot in the Great Sun Phoenix Palace.
There's no other way; if those three pure Yang beings go there, it could easily irritate the Xi Huang Palace.
Jiao Fei's own cultivation level is only at the Dao Integration stage, so he won't cause the Xi Huang Palace or the Yang Shen Ranking to react.
Furthermore, Jiao Fei is strong enough to defeat any Dao Integration Primordial Spirit. Not to mention, even if those on the list are restricted and have to take action, they will not have any murderous intent. Instead, they will deliberately expose their weaknesses so that Jiao Fei can defeat them, thereby cleansing the Yang God Ranking mark and breaking free from the constraints.
Zhong Shenxiu and Jiedun Daoist were outside, blocking the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror that naturally manifested in the Seven Phoenix Realms!
This Heavenly Phoenix Mirror is the ninth most powerful magic weapon. Even though the Heavenly Phoenix has been reincarnated and has not actively used it, it is still incredibly powerful and can sweep across all directions.
Logically speaking, Zhong Shenxiu and Jiedun Daoren are also pure Yang primordial spirits, and they possess a magic treasure like the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda, which ranks fourteenth. When they join forces, they shouldn't be no match for a Heavenly Phoenix Mirror.
After all, the Heavenly Phoenix had vanished without a trace for some unknown reason, and this mirror was ultimately just a pure Yang object. Magical treasures, though immortal, could never hope to achieve eternal life.
Jiao Fei even saw that the Primordial Qi Daoist was standing outside the Seven Phoenix Realm, with his hands behind his back, overlooking this vast world with a deep gaze, but he had no intention of making a move.
Jiao Fei was somewhat puzzled, but he also keenly sensed that Yuanqi Daoist, Jiedun Daoist, and Zhong Shenxiu were all plotting something.
"Never mind, it's none of my business. I only wish to save the heroes on the list."
Jiao Fei shook his head inwardly. The Wuzhuang Temple and Taibai Sword Sect had existed for longer than the Tianhe Sword Sect, and their experts were also ahead of his side. There was no need to consider their schemes; he only needed to follow his own plan.
In any case, this was the primary objective of the three factions' alliance! Even if they encountered setbacks, those three Pure Yang cultivators would certainly not stand idly by!
"Whoosh!" Jiao Fei merged with his sword, and the four pure Yang magic treasures were also ready to be unleashed, following him as they forcibly broke into the Great Sun Phoenix Palace!
"Jiao Fei is getting close to Chunyang soon." Cao Ya nodded as he watched from the outside.
He looked around and became even more aware of the schemes of Wuzhuang Temple and Taibai Sword Sect.
The Seven Phoenixes—one of the Creation Realm experts, three of the Immortal Realm experts, three of the Pure Yang Realm experts, and many other masters who followed Tianhuang'er—none of them showed up to stop the three sects...
In return for their kindness, these three Pure Yang cultivators naturally couldn't go too far.
Otherwise, if they angered the Heavenly Phoenix, they would all be suppressed!
Asura Dragon King is the best example!
Tianhuang is the only one of her kind in this world. If she gets angry, even Old Qiu, Master Doufasheng, and others have to give way.
"The Taibai Sword Sect has also secretly formed an alliance with the Ashutuo Dragon King..."
"Before Jiao Fei's operation is successfully completed, Zhong Shenxiu will not actually launch an attack to rescue the Ashutuo Dragon King."
"Even if Qiao Kui fails to make the list, and he joins forces with Zhong Shenxiu, and with the help of Yuanqi Daoren, Jiedun Daoren, and Jiao Fei, they still can't expect to rescue that Dragon King!"
"Because the Heavenly Phoenix will not allow it!"
Although the Five Emperors Dragon Banner and the Heavenly Phoenix Mirror were not compatible, the two reincarnated primordial spirits later competed for the position of Creation, fighting for a long time before the Heavenly Phoenix emerged victorious.
Even after suppressing him for tens of thousands of years, Tianhuang could not simply let Asuta Dragon King go.
The three factions wanted to rescue the heroes on the Yangshen Ranking, but Qihuang didn't care.
The only exception is the Dragon King Asura!
"It's not just the Asura Dragon King anymore; even the Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan and the Taibai Sword Sect can't save him!"
Both of these powerful figures have deep collaborations with the Taibai Sword Sect.
Zhong Shenxiu is the only one of the Pure Yang, not the Immortal... Not only is he without a position, but even if there were an empty spot, he would still be unable to make a move due to the existence of the Heavenly Phoenix, just like Cao Ya.
"Cao Ya, have you decided that I will leave with you?"
Suddenly, a bright-eyed and beautiful girl appeared in the void.
