"What's inside the Primordial Treasure Bottle is the 'Primordial Formless Great Divine Power'!" Tang Sanzang laughed, and the Primordial Treasure Bottle in his palm swayed slightly, as if in response.
Daoist Duobao whispered: "The beginning of all things is the union of Yin and Yang, which blended into one. From this oneness, form arose, but it had no substance..."
Ji Gong praised it, saying, "In the beginning of form, there was no substance."
As he spoke, Ji Gong raised the Taiji Seal and said with a smile, "What this object contains is the Taiji Liangyi Heavenly Skill!"
The Holy Mother of Ghosts held the Primordial Heavenly Bell in her arms and said, "Mine is the Primordial Great Divine Power of Primordial Chaos!"
Subsequently, the three who obtained the Five Great Spiritual Treasures bestowed the magical methods contained within the treasures upon the heroes.
"What a pity, the Taiyi Divine Cauldron and the Taichu Dao Sword were taken away by Donghuang Taiyi and the Demon Emperor Dijun." Chenxiang sighed, otherwise, they could have gathered the five great divine powers!
Furthermore, among the remaining few, who knows who might be lucky enough to gain the approval of the Taiyi Divine Cauldron and the Taichu Dao Sword, and wield a first-class spiritual treasure!
Among these five calamities, the five spiritual treasures that serve as the source are undoubtedly of the highest rank!
The Supreme Divine Cauldron! The Primordial Dao Sword! The Primordial Treasure Bottle! The Supreme Ultimate Seal! The Primordial Heavenly Bell!
"If anyone could single-handedly master the Five Great Daos..." the Holy Mother Wudang sighed, "it would be an easy task for them to achieve sainthood!"
"The pinnacle of the Five Greats points directly to the third level of the Holy Path!" Sun Wukong said slowly.
The Five Primordial Elements naturally gave birth to the Chaos Demon God. Although he perished, what remained was enough to create a vast and dangerous natural disaster in the land of creation!
This is only the spiritual treasure and supernatural power; the remains of the demon god are still unknown.
"The Five Elements of the Primordial Era, while similar to those of the Five Elements of the Immortal Gourd and the Shepherd of the Gods universes, also have their differences," Cao Ya pondered to himself.
For example, the Five Elements of the [Immortal Gourd] are also closely related to the Five Virtues of Morality, Merit, Hidden Virtue, Saintly Virtue, and Fortune, as well as the Five Fortunes of Killing Luck, End Luck, and Calamity Luck. They can be combined with each other to advance their rank.
However, it is clear that the Five Elements of the Primordial Universe have no connection with the Five Virtues or the Five Elements.
It exists independently, possessing its own demons, gods, and spiritual treasures, and allows both innate and acquired beings to comprehend the divine and aspire to the path of sainthood!
Cao Ya was deeply moved as he carefully read and pondered the "Great Divine Power of the Primordial Beginning," "The Heavenly Power of the Two Elements of the Supreme Ultimate," and "The Great Divine Power of the Primordial Primordial Essence."
It wasn't just Cao Ya; the others, including those below Sun Wukong such as Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Chenxiang, Duobao Daoren, and Wudang Shengmu, all gained profound insights and made significant progress.
Tang Sanzang, who possessed the Primordial Treasure Bottle, Ji Gong, who possessed the Primordial Great Seal, and the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit, who possessed the Primordial Heavenly Bell, made great progress in their cultivation.
Of course, all the heroes were at least weak saints, and it was beyond their power to surpass this realm and reach the path of sainthood.
Sun Wukong, who was already a Primordial Saint, was naturally no exception.
However, the three great supernatural powers broadened the horizons of the heroes, increased their knowledge reserves, perfected their respective laws of the Great Dao, and enabled them to improve their strength and realm.
The only regrettable thing is that none of the immortals and gods followed the path of Tai Shi, Tai Ji, or Tai Su; none of them conformed to it, at most only slightly touching upon it.
"Haha, the Sage of the Intercepting Sect has arrived." Sun Wukong suddenly laughed, realizing something.
Following that, Cao Ya also discovered and sensed the aura of the Tongtian Sect Leader.
The others, including the Tongtian Sect Leader, only realized this after getting close to the dimmed Five Great Calamities.
"Hoo hoo." The group left the Five Great Calamities and welcomed the Tongtian Sect Leader.
"Bang!" In the next instant, a figure exuding murderous aura arrived at this place with overwhelming power. Its divine might shook the heavens and disrupted the Five Great Calamities.
“Master!” Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Wudang, and Holy Mother Guiling stepped forward.
"Master Tongtian!" The others also cupped their hands in respect.
The Tongtian Sect Leader returned the greeting and solemnly thanked the group of seven. If it weren't for their timely support, it would have been too late by the time the Tongtian Sect Leader arrived.
"Please do not refuse this 'Shangqing Daojing'," said the Tongtian Sect Leader earnestly, passing on his masterpiece as a gift to the group of seven to express his gratitude.
"Then we shall accept it without further ado." Cao Ya smiled and said, "The Shangqing Dao Jing is even more powerful than the Three Tai Methods!"
Of course, this situation is normal. After all, although the Five Great Demon Gods were strong, they were Primordial Saints in the Chaos Era, but they eventually died in the Great Calamity of Creation. Their cultivation level was between the first and second levels.
In the past, he was second only to Pangu, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, Chaos Divine Tree, and Yangmei God. However, compared to the current Tongtian Sect Master, who is the true descendant of Pangu, one of the Three Pure Ones, and the pinnacle of the second level of the Holy Path, and has touched the third level, he is still somewhat inferior.
In fact, the Great God Yangmei is on par with the Three Pure Ones and the Two Elders.
This is still after the Chaos Era, and many more eras have passed, under the premise of cultivating and comprehending the sacred path.
"Sage of the Intercepting Sect, what is the situation with the Primordial Chaos River?" Sun Wukong asked.
Everyone listened intently, not wanting to miss a single word.
There's no way around it; the Primordial River of Origin is the core of the world at creation, containing the lifeblood of the great god Pangu. Which cultivator, whether a saint or a weak saint, wouldn't be curious about it?!
"Not many secrets have yet surfaced." Tongtian Jiaozhu shook his head and said. After entering the land of creation, he went straight to the Primordial River of Chaos in order to seek the legacy of the Great God Pangu.
He allowed his three disciples, Daoist Duobao, Holy Mother Wudang, and Holy Mother Guiling, to venture into the Land of Creation on their own, and bestowed upon each of them a sword aura for protection to prevent any accidents.
Who knew that, before he could discover anything in the Primordial River of Origin, he sensed the three sword energies collapsing almost simultaneously...
The Tongtian Sect Leader was naturally in a great hurry and, disregarding everything else, rushed to the location marked by the sword energy!
That's how we ended up with these scenes today.
He also harbored strong killing intent towards Donghuang Taiyi and the Demon Emperor Dijun!
However, finding these two demon emperors in the land of creation is no easy task.
Furthermore, the Demon Emperor Di Jun was alright, but due to the great calamity of the Lich Wars, he was delayed for hundreds of millions of years and his cultivation had not reached the second level. However, Donghuang Taiyi was a giant of the same level as him!
"It is said that the Great God Pangu left behind some explorations on the path beyond the Holy Path in the Primordial River of Chaos..." Cao Ya slowly began to speak. He had only heard about this secret from the Three Sovereigns and Sun Wukong.
"The rumors are true!" The Tongtian Sect Leader's brows were filled with a chilling sword intent.
"That is why many sages, upon arriving at the Land of Creation, went directly to the source of the Primordial Chaos River!"
"The treasures, supernatural powers, and remains found in various natural disaster-stricken and perilous places are indeed valuable, but..."
The Master of Heaven shook his head as he spoke.
To him, wouldn't a first-class spiritual treasure be a treasure? The answer is clearly no.
Compared to knowledge that transcends the sacred path, even the most precious spiritual treasures are worthless.
The reason for rushing to the Primordial River of Chaos was also because I was worried that someone else would get there first.
Therefore, I can accept giving up many opportunities.
As long as there is a discovery in the primordial river of chaos...
It wasn't just Tongtian Jiaozhu; figures like Daode Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin Daoren, Tathagata Buddha, Demon Ancestor Rahu, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun all performed the same action.
Of course, this also shows that the Tongtian Sect Leader cared deeply for his disciples. After realizing that his disciples were in danger, he was willing to risk missing the great secret left behind by the Great God Pangu in order to go out and rescue them...
"Transcending the path to sainthood... We are currently only weak saints, and whether we can become saints is uncertain. How dare we hope to attain such knowledge?" Tang Sanzang sighed.
Ji Gong, Chen Xiang, the three leaders of the Jie Sect, as well as Daiyu, Wu Song, and Lu Zhishen, all nodded in agreement.
As for Sun Wukong... he is already a saint. Even though his sainthood was short-lived and he only reached the first level, he still has the desire to explore the message of transcendence. However, he also knows that this is not an easy task and there is no need to rush. He can first try his hand in natural disasters and dangerous situations to acquire various supernatural powers before going to the Primordial River of Origin.
Moreover, Sun Wukong was confident that even without the knowledge left behind by the Great God Pangu, after many eras, he would definitely be able to reach the third level of the Holy Path with his own abilities and explore the path to transcendence!
However, if we could obtain some secrets, that would be the best outcome.
For Cao Ya, the Holy Path of the Primordial Universe has three levels, corresponding to the initial, intermediate, and advanced levels of the Seven Stars respectively.
In other universes, such as the "Supreme Being of an Era," one would be a being on the other shore, an ancient being, or the oldest being; in the "Sacred Ruins" universe, one would be an ordinary Immortal Emperor, a supreme Immortal Emperor, or a sacrificial Dao Realm cultivator.
After the oldest, there are beings in the Dao Fruit Realm, and above the Sacrifice Dao Realm, there are also ineffable life forms!
Although Cao Ya didn't have much knowledge about the Dao Fruit Realm and the Dao Sacrifice Realm, he still had some basic understanding.
Furthermore, Cao Ya's cultivation level is only that of a weak saint, at the peak of the sixth star, not even reaching the initial stage of the seventh star. He simply doesn't have the power to consider anything beyond the advanced stage of the seventh star!
******
Afterwards, the group of people united and moved around, gradually approaching the location of the Primordial River of Chaos.
With the Tongtian Sect Leader and Sun Wukong, these two saints, in charge, everyone remained calm.
However, the group also encountered a special natural disaster that affected a wide area.
"That's... a sign of petrification?" Cao Ya looked into the distance, feeling a sense of unease.
All that could be seen was an endless expanse of grayish-white mist, drifting incessantly over an area spanning more than ten light-years.
That grayish-white light contained no trace of life. No matter how strong you were, it seemed that as long as you touched it, you would be petrified instantly!
"The calamity corresponding to the Undying Stone Emperor!" said the Tongtian Sect Master.
"The Undying Stone Emperor? That guy was someone who once fought against Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun!" Sun Wukong exclaimed in surprise.
The others were even more shocked.
Just how powerful are the Demon Ancestor and Dao Ancestor now? How terrifying must the Undying Stone Emperor be!
Even taking into account the obstacles of countless ages, the Dao Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor are not what they used to be, but in the Chaos Era, they were at least second-level saints!
To be able to compete with such a giant, there is no doubt that the Undying Stone Emperor is also a supreme being of the same level!
"He was indeed a saint of the second realm. In the chaotic era, he stood on the same level as the Dao Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor, the Chaos Divine Tree, and the Great God Yangmei! He was second only to the Great God Pangu!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader is a direct descendant of Pangu, and his knowledge of the secrets of heaven and earth is unparalleled by anyone else.
"Now, even the great god Yangmei has fallen behind those three powerful figures by a line."
"The Immortal Stone Emperor has been gone for billions of years, so naturally he is inferior."
"But the essence of the Immortal Stone Emperor has reached the second realm of the Saintly Path, which is also indisputable!"
"If that person hadn't perished, he would probably have already reached the third level!"
The Tongtian Sect Leader also felt a pang of regret. Such an extremely powerful saint had perished in the Great Calamity of Creation... The might of the Great God Pangu was simply unimaginable!
You must know that when the great god Pangu created the world, he faced the siege of all the demon gods!
In response to the call of the Great Dao, great figures such as the Dao Ancestor, the Demon Ancestor, the Chaos Divine Tree, the Great God Yangmei, and the Undying Stone Emperor charged to the front lines and fought directly against the Great God Pangu!
The other demons and gods, located on the periphery, activated their spiritual treasures and unleashed their great supernatural powers to attack the Great God Pangu, trying their best to restrain one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth of his magical power!
However, even under the siege of such a powerful lineup, the great god Pangu still accomplished the great task of creating the world and did not perish!
However, his attempt to transcend the path of sainthood encountered great problems. Coupled with his severe injuries and the burden of the evolution of a vast universe, the Great God Pangu finally perished, propelling the primordial universe to an even more pinnacle level!
"The Undying Stone Emperor, the Way of Stone..." Cao Ya seemed to be deep in thought. In the [Eternal Life Realm] universe, his physical body had followed the path of the Stone Man and the Stone King, so he was not entirely unmoved by it.
"So many experts have gathered here..."
The crowd looked around and saw many chaotic demons, their bodies shrouded in layers of divine light, standing in all directions, watching the petrification catastrophe with burning eyes.
“Chaotic Demon Insects, Chaotic Ferocious Sharks…” Cao Ya’s eyes were cold. These kinds of demon gods were formidable enemies!
"Haha, Tongtian Sect Leader, Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and Jidu Star Lord, you've all actually arrived!" Chaos Ferocious Shark laughed loudly, exuding arrogance.
As for the weak saints standing to the side... the Chaos Shark didn't care at all.
There's no need to elaborate on the two saints, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Sun Wukong.
Even Cao Ya, with his impressive battle record and formidable strength, earned the approval of the Sage.
"I never expected that you, Tongtian Sect Leader, would not go to the Primordial River of Origin, but instead wander around on the periphery." The Chaos Demon Worm wriggled and made a deep voice.
The Tongtian Sect Leader chuckled and said, "It's not too late to go after we've seized the remnants of the Undying Stone Emperor."
The Chaos Shark sneered, "Master Tongtian, do you think you can defeat us?"
As he spoke, the Chaos Shark's divine sense swept over Sun Wukong and Cao Ya, just these two helpers!
"Chaos Shark, I'm eager to test your power!" Sun Wukong was itching to try, his golden cudgel seemingly ready to strike at any moment.
"Great Sage Equal to Heaven, you, a newly ascended saint, dare to challenge me?" The Chaos Shark chuckled. "You're overestimating yourself! If I were to kill you... well, I've never tasted the monkey meat of the saintly path before!"
Sun Wukong grinned and said, "Since that's the case, then let's fight!"
After speaking, Sun Wukong swung his golden cudgel and struck the Chaos Shark, causing the shark's face to darken.
It was just a verbal sparring match, how did it escalate into a physical fight? This monkey, doesn't he know any rules?
The opportunities within the petrification disaster have clearly not yet been revealed...
