"To cleanse the imprint of the Yang God Ranking, no ordinary pure Yang magic weapon can do it."
"After all, its origin lies in a Primordial Limitless Stele!"
"The River Luo Heavenly Book does meet the conditions; the order of the Five Great Treasures is all on it."
Guo Xiaoshan, the patriarch, was also quite moved. If it weren't for the constraints of the Innate Limitless Stele, how could that group of Dao-merging primordial spirits have struggled to break free?
Each of the Seven Phoenixes had important matters to attend to and basically had no time to manage the Yang God Ranking.
Moreover, even if someone escaped, they wouldn't go and damage the Seven Phoenix Realm, thus thoroughly enraging the Seven Phoenixes.
"Sigh." Su Xiang and Chunyangzi both gave a bitter smile. Their magic treasures were no match for that Primordial Limitless Stele.
The other two sons, needless to say, did not possess any pure yang essence at all.
In fact, neither Wuzhuang Temple nor Taibai Sword Sect possesses such a powerful weapon.
Acquired pure yang magic treasures, or even innate pure yang treasures ranked lower, are of no use.
Therefore, the key at that time still lies with Jiao Fei!
Yuanqi Daoren, Jiedun Daoren, and Zhong Shenxiu will all assist Jiao Fei in his actions.
"Don't worry, Master, I understand," Jiao Fei said solemnly. Putting aside others, Jiao Fei was determined to save Guo Songyang and Su Ganxiu.
Since the Tianhe Sword Sect has joined forces with the Wuzhuang Temple and the Taibai Sword Sect, Jiao Fei will do his best to rescue the listed primordial spirits of these two sects, such as Qiao Kui and Feng Hou.
Others can be rescued casually, but if it takes too much time, that's another story.
"Fortunately, I have the River Luo Heavenly Book... Hmm, thanks to the gift from Elder Tai Xuan." Jiao Fei thought to himself, this ancestor, it is said, is the reincarnation of the River Luo Heavenly Book's spirit, but he took a different path and achieved immortality, with unparalleled strength, which inspires awe.
"Below the Four Gates and Five Mirrors, only the Three Sovereigns Golden Talisman and the Five Emperors Dragon Banner are ranked before the Five Tai and Five Yun. The Primordial Limitless Stele, the Five Elements Treasures, and the Grotto Heaven Treasures are all behind them."
Thinking about it, Jiao Fei's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at Cao Ya Dao Ren.
This senior uncle of our sect attained the Dao and, with his supreme power, escaped the Xi Huang Yang Shen Ranking. However, he was aided by Lao Qiu, the head of the ten patriarchs of the Daoist sect, who threw out the empty shells of the two magical treasures, the Xuanpin Gate and the Yuanshi Gate, from the central star river.
It's hard to say whether Cao Ya Dao Ren's subsequent rapid progress, and his attainment of the Pure Yang and Immortal achievements, were related to these two great treasures.
Of course, Cao Ya Dao Ren's own talent was also very important.
"Now, of the four gates and five mirrors, only the Heavenly Phoenix, who is reincarnated from the spirit of the Heavenly Phoenix Treasure Mirror, should remain in the Primordial Universe."
Jiao Fei yearned for that realm beyond the vast universe, the power of the primordial spirit's creation, a realm that inspired longing.
"Perhaps the help from Elder Tai Xuan is also intended to allow me to break the Yang God Ranking?"
"Old Qiu sponsored Uncle Cao Ya, which must have been for this reason... However, no one expected that Uncle Cao Ya's progress would be so rapid!"
"An immortal primordial spirit is extremely powerful, but it can no longer force its way into the Seven Phoenix Realms!"
"To uncover the Yang God Ranking, Pure Yang is the most suitable, and some special Dao Integration individuals can also be barely satisfied."
"But a higher level of immortality... that would alert the Seven Phoenixes, in case something bad happens..."
"As for ordinary Dao Integration cultivators, and those with Primordial Spirit, Dharma Body, or Incarnation... their power is insufficient!"
Jiao Fei understood that the responsibility he bore was also very heavy.
So many of our predecessors who have been trapped are waiting for his rescue!
Jiao Fei is willing to go all out without any hesitation!
In any case, the Seven Phoenixes, or the Second Patriarch of Buddhism, the Four Great Sage Monks, and the like, have the support of Yuanqi Daoist, Jiedun Daoist, and Zhong Shenxiu. On their side, they have powerful figures of the Immortal Realm such as Lao Qiu, Doufasheng Ancestor, Taixuan Elder, and Cao Ya Daoist as their backers!
Furthermore, having received so many benefits and assistance from the Seven Phoenix Realms to the present, and with a bright future ahead, it is only natural for him to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities. Jiao Fei would not refuse.
At this moment, Cao Ya shook his head; his condition made it difficult for him to take action.
Su Xiang smiled and said, "After all, they are immortals, and they have limitations, just like the Ancestor and the others in the battle of magic."
Looking at Cao Ya, the Five Masters of Tongtian all looked astonished.
Not only them, but even if Lao Qiu, Dou Fasheng, Qi Huang and others were very optimistic about Cao Ya Dao Ren, they could not have imagined that he would achieve immortality in such a short time and occupy the last position in the Primordial Universe!
Such progress is inconceivable, unprecedented, and only a very few characters can rival it!
The most recent one is Old Qiu, who was slightly inferior to even the Ancestor of Combat and the Daoist Master Guangcheng.
In this primordial universe, the Heavenly Phoenix holds the position of Creation, while the eighteen immortal positions are occupied by Xi Phoenix, Li Phoenix, and Wa Phoenix, three of which are occupied by the patriarchs of the ten major Daoist temples in the central star river, as well as the two patriarchs of Buddhism, the old dragon of the Dragon Palace, and the Ashutuo Dragon King who once competed with the Heavenly Phoenix for the primordial spirit of creation, but was defeated by the Heavenly Phoenix and suppressed in the Seven Phoenix Realms. The last one is naturally Cao Ya.
All thrones are full; there are no vacancies.
This is the normal state of a fully developed universe.
Countless outstanding talents and heroes rise up, and if there is an empty seat, it will naturally be coveted by others who will try every means to take it.
Of course, the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit Realm, especially the stage of Dao Integration, is of great importance in terms of whether there are any deficiencies. However, one’s own aptitude and comprehension are also very crucial. If one’s comprehension is insufficient and one cannot comprehend the true meaning of the Great Dao, then even the cultivation of an immortal Primordial Spirit will be a waste of effort.
After all, condensing the Dao Seed at the first step of the Dao Integration Realm and studying the Innate Divine Restrictions at the Pure Yang Realm are no easy tasks.
Many pure Yang cultivators, even after cultivating for countless billions of years, only manage to reach one or two, or at most three or five, innate divine restrictions. They are far from the peak of eighteen restrictions and have almost no hope of reaching that level.
"Master, please accept this gift." Cao Ya said with a smile, leaving the talisman behind.
Guo Xiaoshan was about to refuse, but Cao Ya insisted, so he reluctantly accepted.
On the distant Milky Way Star, the primordial spirits' eyes twitched.
With this item, Guo Xiaoshan, in a sense, is also a ruthless character with the power of an immortal strike! Anyone who offends him is likely doomed!
"It's really too precious." Guo Xiaoshan sighed. Cao Ya must have spent a lot of effort to refine such a treasure.
Even the Four Gates and Five Mirrors at their peak were no match for this talisman.
It far exceeds the limits of magical artifacts!
Guo Xiaoshan acknowledged the spirit of his Mountain and River Cauldron and spoke up, expressing the power of the talisman in a shocked tone!
"That talisman, even its smallest edges and corners, exuded a trace of magical power, enough to destroy the Mountain and River Cauldron!"
"Guo Xiaoshan, you better watch out, or you'll ruin your Tianhe Star!"
Because they are all Mountain and River Cauldrons, and their nine spirits can communicate freely across distances, they are all deeply impressed by this!
Looking back on the years when Cao Ya was undergoing training, it all felt like a dream.
Unfortunately, none of the several unclaimed Mountain and River Cauldrons took a liking to Cao Ya and did not claim him as their master.
"Whoosh." Suddenly, Cao Ya left, his figure flickered and disappeared without a trace. No matter how many Dao-merging beings Jiao Fei, Guo Xiaoshan, and Su Xiang had, or even several Mountain and River Cauldrons and Pure Yang magic treasures, they could not find Cao Ya's figure.
When the group returned to Tianhe Star, the various primordial spirits exclaimed in amazement, "These five Tongtian sons have struck it lucky!"
Each generation of disciples under his tutelage has produced such formidable individuals!
Not counting Taoist Cao Ya, how could this Taoist Jiao Fei in front of us be weak?
In the future, I'm afraid he'll at least be a Pure Yang! Even if he's an Immortal with flaws, it's not impossible for him to reach that level!
Undoubtedly, they became even more respectful and dared not be impolite.
For a time, wine glasses clinked, laughter filled the air, and guests and hosts alike enjoyed themselves immensely, creating a magnificent scene.
"Whoosh!" On the other side, Cao Ya walked through the sea of stars and also arrived at the four major star palaces.
In ancient times, this was the most prosperous place in the primordial universe.
However, with the emergence of the Creation Primordial Spirits in the Xuan Palace and Wu Palace, who led their followers away, they also declined.
The Heavenly Phoenix, who was reincarnated in the Phoenix Palace, and the Dragon King Ashu, who was reincarnated in the Dragon Palace, became enemies!
After Asura Dragon King was defeated, he was sealed away for countless years. His newly born primordial spirit was basically unaware that such an immortal primordial spirit once existed.
At the same time, due to the opening of the Seven Phoenix Realms, the Phoenix Palace also declined.
Only the Dragon Palace still has top experts of the Immortal and Pure Yang realms guarding it, barely maintaining its prestige.
But it paled in comparison to the Central Galaxy.
The ten major Daoist temples, their affiliated forces, and other Pure Yang Daoist lineages and Daoist sects... The Central Star River has never declined since the rise of the acquired races; it has always been at its peak in every era!
Moreover, this trend is expected to continue for many years to come.
“However, every prosperity must come to an end.” Cao Ya looked around the central star river, where the three thousand great paths came into view, and a special rhythm had already begun to resound in the depths of the void.
That was the cry of doomsday!
"The path to the end of time has already manifested in the world, which determines the fate of the primordial universe."
The Five Elements and Five Cycles, though not as advanced as the Four Gates and Five Mirrors, or the corresponding laws of the Three Sovereigns' Golden Talisman and the Five Emperors' Dragon Banner.
It may be ranked in the top 20, but it has its own special features.
If the other five Tai and four Yun can emerge in any era—whether in the form of magical artifacts, or through the reincarnation of artifact spirits or by others taking the opportunity to merge with the Dao—then these laws are unlikely to have a long period of vacancy! —Then, even if a cultivator wants to and is exceptionally talented, they will be unable to grasp the end of the cycle for an extremely long time.
Because the final cycle will only emerge when the universe begins its inevitable descent into the abyss of annihilation!
In reality, all the various primordial spirits wished for the end of the era and that they would never emerge again!
However, the cycle of the universe is beyond human control; what is destined will inevitably happen.
"The ultimate fate of a universe without human control is irreversible."
"Only the universe created by nature itself, and guided by a great being, can endure eternally and remain immortal, while the doomed forces remain dormant within the origin of the universe, unable to emerge."
"Within the heavens, the collapsed heavens and earth were basically all naturally formed."
"Only in very rare cases, when creation went wrong and the rules of the Great Dao became chaotic, did the newly born universe suddenly come to an end. In such cases, the Creator God had no choice but to start a second attempt at creating the world."
The primordial spirit of creation shapes heaven and earth, but that doesn't mean it will always be 100% successful!
Throughout the universe, there have been many failures.
However, the nature of creation is what it is; if it doesn't work the first time, you can try again.
In any case, with the protection of creation, even the mortals, after the immortals, will not perish in the vast void.
"Most of the Creation Primordial Spirits only open one realm, develop to their peak, and completely consolidate their power. Once they are satisfied, their disciples, relatives, clansmen, friends, and even their former homeland are all within their own universe, free from the fear of destruction. In the long years to come, they will live long and carefree lives."
"They have very little good fortune, yet they are still single-mindedly pursuing the advancement of their cultivation, continuing to collect the Great Dao, and wanting to open up a second or third universe..."
"Unfortunately, no one has surpassed the realm of creation."
"It seems that this is the most powerful realm in the infinite universe."
Cao Ya analyzed that perhaps those Creation Primordial Spirits were not rigorous enough in matching multiple universes.
But he was only guessing. Before he truly achieved enlightenment, it was all like trying to catch the moon's reflection in the water or looking at flowers through the fog.
"My immortal primordial spirit only has a few dozen laws, and is merely a six-star initial stage. It is more than 108,000 miles away from the seven-star creation primordial spirit!"
Cao Ya shook his head. The journey to collect the Great Dao was extremely difficult.
Finding a suitable universe is already a huge challenge.
Fortunately, he is already immortal and has a way out, so he doesn't need to rush and can proceed slowly.
Subsequently, Cao Ya traveled to the Central Star River and also visited the Suspended Dojo, where he met with the Victorious Fighting Ancestor and had a very pleasant conversation.
"Haha, Cao Ya, your swordsmanship is simply divine, the best I have ever seen!"
"Yes, of course, but only within our Immortal Primordial Spirit Realm."
A spirited and very young Taoist priest blocked Cao Ya's sword light in the void and laughed heartily.
"Grandmaster, you flatter me," Cao Ya said with a smile. He put away his sword and, together with the Grandmaster of Combat, took his seat in the suspended dojo.
The Daoist spirit, residing in a suspended Daoist temple, offers tea.
The man glanced at Cao Ya, his expression somewhat complicated.
After that person left, Master Doufasheng chuckled and said, "Your news has spread throughout the Central Galaxy, and countless people are filled with envy."
"The patriarch is no less impressive, but he was the first master to be ranked on the Yangshen Ranking based on his own abilities!" Cao Ya wasn't trying to flatter the patriarch, but this young Taoist was indeed capable.
He was a disciple of the Tianhe Sword Sect founded by Grandmaster Guo Xiaoshan, and Guo Xiaoshan and the other five disciples of Tongtian were also disciples of Grandmaster Doufasheng. Naturally, this young Taoist was also his grandmaster.
Cao Ya will not lack the respect he deserves.
Moreover, Cao Ya admired Cao Ya's talent in defeating the patriarch in a magical contest.
After all, the Victorious Ancestor of Fighting Techniques truly relied solely on himself to reach this point, which is the pinnacle of the Immortal Primordial Spirit. He is fully capable of achieving the Creation Primordial Spirit, but the Heavenly Phoenix has taken his place, preventing him from breaking through.
In contrast, although Cao Ya also relies solely on herself, she is indeed many versions of herself!
Furthermore, his attainments in the Immortal Primordial Spirit Realm were far inferior to those of Ancestor Doufa Sheng.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the two went all out, Cao Ya could at most maintain an undefeated record, and it would be almost impossible for him to win!
Once Tianhuang leaves, Doufa Shengzushi attains enlightenment and advances to the seventh star level, leaving Cao Ya completely behind.
"You unexpectedly seized the last immortal slot in the primordial universe. There are quite a few pure Yang cultivators who find it hard to accept this," said the Victorious Ancestor of Fighting Techniques leisurely, sipping his fragrant tea.
Cao Ya shrugged and said, "Those Pure Yang cultivators have all cultivated for more years than me. It's impossible that I could break through but I'm holding back and have to wait for them to leave first... If I did, I wouldn't be able to break through either, and all the spots would be filled."
Upon hearing this, the Victorious Ancestor sighed deeply, revealing a rare look of helplessness.
