Cao Ya's plan is twofold: first, to refine the Yang God Ranking imprint and break free from its constraints; and second, to attain the Dao-Merging Primordial Spirit and open the path to Pure Yang and even Immortality.
Thirdly, naturally, one could leave the Seven Phoenix Realm and roam freely in the outer star sea.
Seeing that the seven primordial spirits were forcibly taken up by the enraged Xi Huang and placed on the list, Cao Ya knew that the date for Jiao Fei and the others, as well as Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan, to break through the realm was getting closer and closer.
Of course, given the situation in the Seven Phoenix Realms, those who will need to escape the tribulation at that time will likely include more than just the Heavenly River Sword Sect and the Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan's lineage.
There might be other hidden masters of the Primordial Spirit realm waiting for their chance.
Cao Ya didn't have the patience to think about it so much. He only needed to be clear about one thing: the time left for him was getting shorter and shorter.
It's incredibly close to the Dao-Merging Primordial Spirit level, but ultimately it's not at the Dao-Merging level...
Cao Ya's face was somewhat somber. Although he had gained profound insights through many experiences, he had achieved a high level of mastery in the Way of Matter and the Way of Consciousness, and was on the verge of attaining the Dao.
But--
He estimated that it would probably take another one or two decades before he could truly attempt to achieve enlightenment.
This doesn't guarantee a success rate; there's a considerable possibility of failure.
The problem is, how many ten or twenty years does he have?
Forget it, never mind. The immortal system of the [Immortal Gourd] universe cannot achieve Dao Integration, but with the power of other systems, as long as I take it out, it will still be at the peak of the Dao Integration level. Zhong Shenxiu returned from the outer star sea, and he was only at this level...
Damn it, even Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan could escape his tribulation, so why can't I?
Cao Ya gritted his teeth, ignoring all this nonsense, and focused solely on cultivation, hoping to reach the threshold of Dao integration.
He was well aware that the situation of Jiao Fei's third-generation primordial spirit disciples was different from his and Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan's.
After some time, Cao Ya suddenly felt a premonition.
"It's finally here." Cao Ya sat cross-legged and sighed deeply.
Unfortunately, he has not yet achieved enlightenment!
However, this opportunity only comes once every few thousand years, and the next one will not come until the Heavenly Phoenix breaks through the boundary.
Regardless, Cao Ya still wanted to try, to escape the tribulation and cultivate a Dao-integrating Primordial Spirit, or even a Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, deep within the starry sky.
Fortunately, my other powers are stored in the system space, and I can retrieve them all with a single thought...
Hey, everyone thinks I'm at the limit of my primordial spirit avatar, barely able to withstand an ordinary Dao Integration cultivator for a while... but my true strength is the pinnacle of the Dao Integration primordial spirit! Even if Zhong Shenxiu were here, he might not be able to defeat me...
Without the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit, who can contend with it?
Okay, I can't be too arrogant, I need to keep a low profile...
Those seven phoenixes, even the weakest among them are at the Pure Yang level, and the more powerful ones are at the Immortal Primordial Spirit level... The leader of the seven phoenixes, Tianhuang'er, is the only Creation Primordial Spirit in the Primordial Universe...
Offending Tianhuang'er means you won't even know how you died...
Cao Ya got up and left the temporary cave, withdrawing his magic and supernatural powers, and the Sea-Slaying Sword appeared in his palm.
"Master, I will definitely lend you a hand!" Zhan Hai Tong Zi exclaimed.
"Aren't you afraid this time?" Cao Ya asked with a smile.
"Afraid? Of course I'm afraid! The Yang God Ranking belongs to Lord Xi Huang, and its true form is a pure Yang treasure!" Zhan Hai Tong Zi did not reveal his form, only his voice could be heard as he said, "But my master has given the order, and even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire, I will absolutely go without hesitation!"
Cao Ya smiled, holding the Sea-Slaying Sword, and gazed at the distant sky.
Whoosh!!
Suddenly, a magic seal flew up from the Central Plains of the Seven Phoenix Realm, soaring straight into the sky.
Cao Ya knew that it was the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal, which contained many disciples of the Heavenly River Sword Sect.
He also sensed the magical energy fluctuations of Jiao Fei, Xu Qing, and Pang Wei, as well as another unfamiliar magical energy, which he assumed belonged to Jiao Fei's wife, Lin Xiaolian.
When the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal reached its highest point, the Xi Huang Red Sun seemed to jump, and the Yang God Ranking appeared, blocking its path.
whoosh whoosh~~~
Countless changes occurred on the Yang God Ranking. Hundreds of golden rays intertwined, densely packed, seemingly disordered, but in fact, there was a different kind of order.
A golden light intertwined and descended, trying to cover the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal.
"Drink!" With a sudden shout, Jiao Fei flew out, pointed his finger, and a delicate pagoda with a mysterious yellow color flew out. Strands of mysterious yellow energy hung down, instantly blocking the golden net.
Then Xu Qing also roared, his primordial spirit urging the divine sword to slash out overhead, the sword light flashing in all directions, sharp and incomparable, and it also became entangled with the golden net.
Pang Wei then used his two magnetic aurora swords, which shone with brilliant starlight and soared into the sky, to help Xu Qing share the burden.
Lin Xiaolian then used the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal to attack together with Jiao Fei.
With the four primordial spirits working together, they managed to withstand the golden net.
They alone probably wouldn't be able to escape the Seven Phoenix Realm...
Cao Ya thought to himself that the golden net was actually emitted by the Xi Huang Yang God Ranking. Even though Xi Huang was reincarnated and no longer had a master to control her, she could only rely on instinct to fight. However, the power of the pure Yang treasure was still unmatched by ordinary things.
Even though Jiao Fei and his group were able to cut through the golden net, with the continuous support of the Yang God Ranking, the golden net kept dispersing and gathering, always blocking their path, like an insurmountable chasm.
Two phoenixes have been reincarnated, and the remaining five phoenixes are intact. Even though they need to maintain the stability of the Seven Phoenix Realms, with the power of their immortal primordial spirit and creation primordial spirit, Li Huang and Tian Huang can take action at any time if they wish, and can unleash unimaginable divine power to create heaven and earth and end the universe. Even pure Yang level beings would perish with resentment.
Suddenly, Cao Ya noticed something, and her eyes flickered slightly.
Judging from this, even Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan is about to make his move... Hmm, it's time for me to try to merge with the Dao... Whether I can succeed is one thing, whether I dare to do it is another...
At worst, we can unleash a significant amount of power at a crucial moment to suppress the backlash and wait for a better opportunity...
Cao Ya did not immediately offer assistance to Jiao Fei and the others because he had other important matters to attend to.
Furthermore, Cao Ya was well aware that there were too many important figures who had targeted Jiao Fei, and he was certain that he would be able to escape unscathed.
Out of respect for Lao Qiu, Doufasheng Ancestor, Guangcheng Daoist, Taixuan Elder, and others, Tianhuang and Lihuang will not make things too difficult for Jiao Fei and the others.
As long as Jiao Fei can break through the Yang God Ranking!
Knowing the inside story, Cao Ya was naturally calm and did not feel worried about Jiao Fei and the others' situation.
They have someone to look after them, so nothing will go wrong. It's me, on the other hand...
Cao Ya closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and then opened them again. Almost all emotions in his eyes had been extinguished, leaving only a resolute look!
Buzz~~~
Suddenly, divine light shone brightly, and a powerful aura swept across the Miao region. Two distinct paths seemed to appear, and two gates that had been created from the heavens roared.
In another part of Miao territory, Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan had just finished refining the Weiyang Palace and set up four flying swords of the Void Spirit level to form a sword formation. He was about to ascend to the heavens to challenge the Yang God Ranking and lend a helping hand to Jiao Fei, that yellow-faced little Taoist priest. He, Ancestor Xu, also wanted to take the opportunity to break out of the Seven Phoenix Realm together.
Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise.
"That's... Cao Ya?!"
"He's actually started to achieve Dao integration???"
