"However, I was also surprised that you did not stay in the Primordial Universe but went to the Heavenly Phoenix Universe."
As the master of the fighting magic said this, he also seemed a little puzzled.
Based on Cao Ya's situation, there is a 70-80% chance that he will achieve enlightenment and create a new world before the primordial universe is destroyed.
Why make this choice? Doesn't it waste countless years?
Cao Ya shook his head and said, "My journey is rather special, and that little time is far from enough!"
Master Doufasheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "It seems you have other ideas?"
"I have some ideas."
The Victorious Ancestor of Fighting Techniques said solemnly, "Don't be reckless! Over countless years, the great powers of various universes have deduced the most suitable route for breaking through to the Creation Primordial Spirit, which is to collect the Three Thousand Great Daos! Changing it without authorization will easily cause problems. Some of the most powerful immortals have perished because of this. In serious cases, even the Creation God himself intervened, but it was still not enough to save them!"
"If you really want to improve, you should first achieve great success and eliminate any worries about the future. Then you can continue to extract the laws of the Great Dao and try to open up a second or third universe. This is also a path!"
Cao Ya nodded, understanding the meaning of the Victory of the Ancestor in the Battle of Magic: from nothing to something, rising from the mortal realm, attaining the power of creation, this is one. Then one begets two, two begets three, and who dares to say that the path is blocked?
However, having witnessed the Seven-Star Great Universes such as [Stellar Transformation], [Panlong], and [Eternal Life], although his strength was not as great as that of a complete Creation Primordial God, he had some innovative considerations.
He surmised that the four major portals and five treasure mirrors were all extremely unique and unchanging throughout the heavens. Perhaps this also revealed a kind of underlying rule of the [Immortal Gourd] Great World.
It should be noted that the ranking of the innate pure yang magic treasures ranked tenth and beyond often varies by a few places in each universe, sometimes by more than ten!
Their specific forms are completely different; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are drastically different.
The order of the first nine gates and five mirrors remains basically unchanged, and their forms are even more uniform!
In fact, the four gates and five mirrors of each universe, even if they come from the realms created by powerful beings, can often transcend tribulations and obtain the fruits of creation, as long as there is enough time and the powerful beings do not deliberately obstruct them.
Needless to say, the four gates and five mirrors within the primordial universe were all incredibly powerful. Before leaving, they all had to evolve their civilizations and races in advance to save time for stabilizing their new universes!
"Perhaps, within the [Immortal Gourd] worldview, the universe's structure is no longer one primary and four secondary?"
"Four main universes and five secondary universes? Or, directly, nine main universes?"
Cao Ya couldn't explain it, after all, he was only a mid-level six-star immortal.
Among all the extraordinary systems, this body's magical power, while not bad, doesn't rank in the top three.
Perhaps he will only have a clear understanding when he has mastered more than two thousand, or even close to three thousand, great paths!
Naturally, he also needs to take it slowly, seek stability first, and not put extra time pressure on himself.
During his conversation with Cao Ya, Master Doufasheng also understood Cao Ya's concerns.
"In that case, following Tianhuang is indeed a good idea."
"Moreover, with Tianhuang around, if something unexpected happens, you can be saved, or even reincarnated and start over."
Upon hearing this, Cao Ya chuckled and said, "I hope it doesn't come to that."
Master Doufasheng laughed and said, "Reincarnation is not a big deal."
"Countless masters, whose magical treasures and spiritual essences, or whose foundations and cultivation were damaged, have been reincarnated and are now reborn."
"With your talent, if you retrace the path of cultivation, as long as your position is not taken, your immortality will still be very secure."
While others were sorting out the newly opened, yet-to-be-fully-formed Great Dao Laws of the suspended universe, they also paid attention to listening to the conversation between the two top experts, hoping to gain some inspiration.
Upon hearing the words of the master who had defeated the patriarch in the battle of magic, the heroes couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Cao Ya Dao Ren's abilities are unprecedented. Not to mention this newly born suspended universe, even in the primordial universe, he can be called a top-tier being, a pinnacle existence between heaven and earth!
"Without such ability, Daoist Cao Ya would not have any other ideas."
The primordial spirits sighed inwardly. For them, achieving the Dao and becoming an ancestor was already enough to satisfy them. If they could take another step and break through to the Pure Yang realm, they would be even happier. As for immortality... apart from a few individuals, no one else would even think about it!
But what Cao Ya Daoren was thinking about was a completely new path to creation!
The gap between the two sides was more than an insurmountable chasm. Even Chunyang, who once held the Suspended Dojo, could only smile helplessly upon seeing it.
"Cao Ya is getting more and more amazing!" Guo Xiaoshan, Su Xiang and the other five disciples of Tongtian, as well as Su Ganxiu and other disciples of the five disciples, were all amazed.
They were hoping that Cao Ya would succeed and pave a new path.
"Not every one of the four gates and five mirrors back then had the courage of Daoist Cao Ya!"
"But can he really succeed? Throughout history, among so many immortal beings in the universe, how many have forged their own path? And in the end, not a single one has succeeded!"
"Although the Gate of All Wonders had undergone extraordinary considerations, in the end, it still followed the orthodox path."
"This road is upright and peaceful, and has withstood countless tests. There are absolutely no problems!"
"So why take the risk?"
The spirits of the eight Mountain and River Cauldrons were also exchanging ideas and discussing the matter.
In the primordial universe, they did not reincarnate and were limited to the Pure Yang level. This was because the nine sisters shared the Dao essence of the Mountain and River Cauldron, a primordial Pure Yang magic treasure. To be precise, each Mountain and River Cauldron, taken individually, did not exceed the Dao Integration Primordial Spirit by much. Only when all nine were combined could it become the most powerful object!
They arrived in the suspended universe, thus avoiding the Great Cataclysm and attaining immortality and freedom.
Because of the conditions of the primordial universe, a supreme primordial yang treasure was still needed to suppress order, so the original cauldron could not be carried. In fact, they even left a primordial divine restriction inside the empty shell to prevent accidents.
The extra innate divine restrictions are naturally carried by the artifact spirit. Although incomplete, its power is still very strong.
In short, their strength is actually equivalent to that of a near-pure Yang primordial spirit.
It's no exaggeration to say that within the newly formed suspended universe, the strength of these eight sisters is firmly among the top five.
The Five Masters of Tongtian, Su Ganxiu, and others were all inferior to them.
Naturally, their responsibility in guiding the understanding of the fundamental principles of the Dao is also significant.
However, none of them took charge of the Great Dao corresponding to the Mountain and River Cauldron; instead, they all went to sort out stronger laws.
The Dao of the Mountain and River Cauldron in the suspended universe was entrusted to Su Ganxiu for guidance.
Such an experience is obviously unique and can deepen their understanding of the relevant principles.
In the future, once the suspended universe takes shape, whether they continue to exist in the form of primordial spirits, relying on innate divine restrictions and various spells to roam the world freely, or directly reincarnate to possess a complete physique, or even aspire to a separate, complete Pure Yang realm... in short, there is much they can achieve.
Not only would the patriarch not stop them from winning the battle, but he would also invest precious resources because of their contributions!
Moreover, the Five Heavenly Sons, as well as Su Ganxiu and Guo Songyang, are all their protectors—to be precise, there are two spirits who have united with Guo Xiaoshan and Su, and have given birth to Guo Songyang and Su Ganxiu, respectively.
As for the future, the eight sisters haven't thought about it carefully yet. Anyway, there's plenty of time and no calamities, so there's no need to rush to make a decision. They'll wait and see what happens in the future before taking action.
As the spirits of pure yang magical artifacts, they must also yearn for the complete pure yang realm.
The levels above immortality are even more beyond that.
Therefore, they were actually quite confused about Cao Ya Dao Ren's choice.
In the end, one can only sigh that such a person with extraordinary abilities is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Even the mighty immortal primordial spirit, with its innate pure yang magic treasures, is only vaguely understood, though it remains unclear.
"If Fifth Sister follows that sallow-faced Taoist priest, she should be able to escape successfully in the end, right?"
The eight sisters all felt somewhat sentimental when the topic of Shanhe Ding Wu Niang was mentioned.
In the primordial universe, they spent countless years together. However, when faced with a cosmic catastrophe, they ultimately parted ways due to their different choices.
The suspended universe, with the Victorious Ancestor of Fighting Magic presiding over it, is free from the threat of destruction.
But can Jiao Fei, that rising star, really achieve great things before the Great Destruction?
To be honest, the eight sisters weren't very optimistic about it.
However, Jiao Fei also belongs to the Tianhe Sword Sect lineage, and can be considered a disciple of the Doufa Shengzu Master. Furthermore, he has some karmic connections with powerful figures like Tianhuang, Lao Qiu, and Tai Xuan Zhangren.
If that fails, perhaps a powerful figure will step in and save him.
"Buzz." Cao Ya used his great magical power to establish the four major portals and began to consolidate this suspended universe.
"Whoosh." The Victorious Ancestor of Fighting Techniques provided support from the center. The Three Thousand Great Daos and boundless energy surged and raged, expanding the void and enlarging the territory. Stars were constantly being born.
The vision of that evolving universe moved not only the various primordial spirits, but even Cao Ya and the Victorious Fighting Ancestor.
"The creation of heaven and earth is forever the greatest miracle in the world!"
Not only in the suspended universe, but also in Lao Qiu's Kunlun universe, Guangcheng Daoren's Kongtong universe, and Tai Xuan Zhangren's Fuli Star universe, Cao Ya had a divided spirit, carrying innate divine restrictions and some extraordinary magical power, to help several important figures to take charge of the four gates and set the tone for the order of heaven and earth.
Only the fourth transcendent Dao Venerable, born in an ancient era and unrelated to the Seven Phoenix Realms, was not invited to that new universe because Cao Ya was unfamiliar with him.
As a Dao Venerable of the Creation Realm, he has lived for countless years in the Primordial Universe and cast his thoughts across the heavens. He has various friends and many outstanding juniors who can help him evolve the universe.
It's possible that the people from the Four Gates and Five Mirrors who have transcended the calamity all knew each other.
In any case, when Cao Ya asked the most ancient Heavenly Phoenix among the people he knew, they all said that the Dao Venerable had a special relationship with a certain giant who had long since departed.
"The Suspended Universe, Kunlun Universe, Kongtong Universe, and Fuli Star Universe cannot compare to the Tianhuang Universe in terms of the number of Yuan Shen masters, and their civilizations and races are nowhere to be found."
"I'm afraid that the consolidation process will take at least tens, or even hundreds of billions of years longer!"
Cao Ya analyzed that, for the primordial spirit that has lived a long life, there is no need to consider the end of the primordial era. Its life is not in danger. Even if it takes another 50 billion years, it will only be a little boring, but there is no major problem.
Of course, even if the time required for the Tianhuang Universe is short, it will still be calculated in hundreds of millions of years.
After all, this is the evolutionary process of a vast universe; how can the conditions be met in a short time?
There are many great laws and principles, and even with a powerful primordial spirit helping to organize them, one cannot even dream of being born without the accumulation of billions of years.
During this period, it was impossible for Cao Ya to simply help the five Creators, manage the four major portals, and establish the rules and order of the universe.
Even though this will help him cultivate the Great Dao and later reap the laws corresponding to the Gate of Myriad Wonders and the Gate of the Great Void in a certain universe, it is ultimately only two laws.
Of the three thousand Great Daos, even those ranked lower may not be considered powerful or have any hope of reaching the Pure Yang level, but they are indeed indispensable.
His thoughts spread throughout the heavens, and he was also constantly seeking new universes in hopes of seizing opportunities for the Great Dao.
As time went by, tens of millions of years passed, and the Tianhuang Universe, with its boundless territory, had long since become countless light-years away.
Even the other newly formed universes have gradually become complete.
However, there is still a long way to go before it is finally completed; it is still a long way off.
Those primordial spirits who followed the creations of several worlds could advance without hindrance below the Dao Integration realm, but at most they reached the limit of the Primordial Spirit Dharma Body realm. For the time being, none of the major universes had opened up the Dao Integration realm.
Those who have reached the Dao Integration stage or higher have stagnated in their cultivation and need to wait for the future.
Only the immortal primordial spirits, because this step of cultivation involves extracting the Great Dao, and their thoughts are already directed towards the heavens, are not greatly affected.
But within that primordial universe, there was an unusual scene.
"The old dragon in the Dragon Palace, and Daoist Chun Jun, have both achieved great fortune," Tian Huang'er whispered.
Cao Ya, the two patriarchs of Buddhism, Li Huang, Xi Huang, and Wa Huang—these six immortals all care about their homeland.
But within the Dragon Palace, the aura of creation was seen rising, reaching far and wide, covering the primordial universe, but it quickly receded.
"Haha, the old dragon is gone!" With a long roar, the power of creation enveloped the entire dragon palace and ruthlessly broke through the void and left.
Only some light and shadow and the shells of magical artifacts drifted out, which were fought over by the primordial spirits waiting there.
The scene was just like it was in the Seven Phoenix Realm in the past.
Immediately afterwards, in the Thirty-Three Heavens Daoist Temple in the central star river, Daoist Chun Jun also attained the Creation Realm. He then led the entire Daoist Temple, along with the forces that had pledged allegiance to him, and quickly departed.
Unlike the old dragon, Daoist Chun Jun was mysterious and calm, and he didn't say much.
But that kind of strength is unparalleled.
Similarly, there are also Nascent Soul experts from the Central Galaxy competing for treasures here.
However, the number of those from other major temples was very small.
"These two also left with their families, and the primordial universe is becoming increasingly desolate," the Second Patriarch of Buddhism sighed.
“The great path is gradually withering away,” Cao Ya sighed.
His divine sense broke into the primordial universe, and he could perceive that the withering of this world was already very obvious and could not be suppressed.
“If this trend continues, the Dao-Merging Primordial Spirit will become impossible to be born in the future,” Xi Huang said.
“Even a universe without the protection of destiny will face this day,” Tianhuang’er sighed softly.
"If those few become immortal, there is still hope."
Nearby, other immortal or creative divine thoughts were also manifesting.
Of all the people Cao Ya sensed, besides the few from the Tianhuang Universe, there were Old Qiu, Doufasheng Ancestor, Guangcheng Daoist, Taixuan Elder, the Gate of the Mysterious Female, the Gate of the Primordial Beginning, and so on.
Of the rest, some I've crossed paths with and know, some I've only heard of by name but never seen, and some I've never even heard of!
"This is a matter concerning our primordial universe. Outsiders may observe, but they should not interfere!"
"Anyone who dares to steal the Great Dao of this world without cause, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Suddenly, a lofty and detached voice, as clear as the heavens, rang in everyone's ears, seemingly containing the rhythm of the Great Dao, which shook them to their core.
Cao Yadu's heart skipped a beat.
"It's him!"
