Cao Ya knew very well that the two patriarchs and four saints of Buddhism were all in the Seven Phoenix Realm, each opening their own cave world as a place of practice, and relying on the Seven Phoenix Realm, always following the Heavenly Phoenix.
If the Seven Phoenixes did not have the Heavenly Phoenix, it would not be worth the Buddhist sect following them so closely.
Of the seven phoenixes, only the Heavenly Phoenix is a creation, the Departing Phoenix is immortal, and the other five phoenixes are still at the Pure Yang level.
Even without the Heavenly Phoenix, the remaining six Phoenixes are still powerful, but they will not command the same respect from the various immortal primordial spirit masters of the Taoist and Buddhist sects as they do now, and everyone will be on equal footing.
Leaving aside the Seven Phoenixes, let's just talk about Buddhism.
These two patriarchs, Shakya and Nagarjuna, possess immortal primordial spirits, capable of predicting the past and future, and possessing unfathomable abilities.
His subordinates, including the four holy monks Jin Chanzi and Yuan Kong Fozhu, have also reached the Pure Yang level, possessing unfathomable divine power and immeasurable Buddhist heart.
While the primordial spirits of the other monks may not be of much importance, Cao Ya absolutely must treat these two ancestors and four saints with utmost respect and must not offend them in the slightest.
His Tianhe Sword Sect's strongest ancestors, Guo Xiaoshan and Su Xiang, were only at the level of Yuan Shen (primordial spirit) Dao, and were no match for the two ancestors and four saints.
If a great figure like the patriarch of the Battle of Magic were not involved in matters of the birth and death of the universe, or creation and immortality, why would he easily step forward?
Therefore, Cao Ya felt quite troubled by the invitation personally extended by the Buddhist monk.
Thankfully they got rid of them, otherwise... I couldn't possibly switch allegiances and become a Buddhist monk...
I have no intention of betraying the Tianhe Sword Sect...
Cao Ya shook his head and decided that he must never enter densely populated areas again. Let alone a huge city, even a village with a few hundred people, he must take a detour.
call out!
Cao Ya fled the village and traveled far into the Miao region, determined to explore remote and impoverished areas. In the end, he found no human habitation, only wild beasts and animals roaming freely. Some of them had developed intelligence and embarked on the path of demon cultivation.
Of course, cultivation is difficult for demons in this world. They must follow the orthodox Xuanmen sect, or the Buddhist sect, the demonic sect, or even unorthodox sects in order to hope to cultivate their primordial spirit.
The primordial spirits of those who follow unorthodox paths are quite unique, each with their own opportunities that cannot be replicated. Even if someone were to retrace their steps, they might not achieve the same result.
However, the paths of the primordial spirit of Taoism, Buddhism, and Demonism can be passed down in one line, providing a reference or a path for future generations to follow.
Having received a warning from Xi Huang's clone, Cao Ya ignored these ordinary demons who had gained sentience. He went straight to a swamp filled with miasma, built a cave in the center of the swamp, and with a little magic, transformed it into a blessed land filled with spiritual light.
However, the surrounding area is still filled with miasma, which can kill all kinds of demons, and even those at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining cannot stop it.
This saved Cao Ya a lot of trouble.
Cao Ya comprehended the two self-created methods and felt that, in the darkness, two portals appeared, standing between heaven and earth, supporting a part of the starry sky.
The Gate of the Mysterious Female! The Gate of the Primordial Beginning!
The names of these two gates immediately flashed through Cao Ya's mind.
Unfortunately, I don't know where those two gates are now...
Cao Ya sighed. If only he could obtain the two portals that had lost their primordial spirit and most of their innate divine restrictions...
Cao Ya was confident that he could achieve Dao integration and cultivate to the point of pure Yang.
Several days later, while Cao Ya was in seclusion, a sudden thought struck him, and he came out of his secluded cave and looked up at the sky.
Then, the bright red sun of Xihuang shone brightly, and the Yang God Ranking appeared, revealing seven names that filled half the sky.
Among these seven names are Guo Songyang, Luo Gongyuan, and Su Ganxiu.
Then Cao Ya saw golden light flowing over the seven names, and soon a golden light flew down, pulling one person onto the list.
Once this person is on the list, his name immediately disappears.
Besides his two senior brothers and one junior brother, Cao Ya also saw the fourth disciple of the Red-Haired Ancestor, True Man Xiangshan. This man also founded one of the nine major sects of Taoism and was a first-rate figure in the Seven Phoenix Realm. However, once the Yang God Ranking was released, no matter what your abilities or background were, you had to be on the list.
That red-haired patriarch was one of the ten patriarchs of Taoism. Although he was not as good as Old Qiu, Doufasheng Patriarch, Guangcheng Taoist, and Taixuan Elder, his ranking was still ahead of Ghost Ancestor Xu Wan.
After the name of Master Xiangshan was erased, the name of Master Nushan also disappeared.
Nushan Zhenren was not a fellow disciple of Xiangshan Zhenren. He was the primordial spirit of Taibai Sword Sect. Later, when Taibai Sword Sect faced calamity and its stars scattered, he switched allegiance to Kunlun. Now, however, he has also been listed and is no longer free.
Golden light shone on the names of the primordial spirit masters, and each name was taken to heaven. Then the golden light on that name was extinguished, leaving only darkness.
Cao Ya knew that this was Xi Huang's wrath, and that he was taking down those Nascent Soul experts who were already on the list but still had some freedom, restricting their freedom.
Cao Ya was not among the seven names, yet he still gained proper freedom and was not forcibly dragged into the heavens.
I have no idea what they did; they caused even more trouble than I did...
Well, what I did had a profound impact, but on the surface, it didn't seem to affect the overall situation much. It wouldn't affect Xi Huang and Ming Huang's reincarnation after their tribulations, or the great event of the Seven Phoenix Realms reaching perfection...
Besides, Xi Huang has already personally come down to warn me, so there's no need for him to send me to heaven again... Otherwise, he could just activate the Yang God Ranking and unleash a golden light; would I dare to resist? Anyone with that ability would have to surrender...
It seems that Xi Huang has no intention of including me on the list for the time being...
Cao Ya pondered that he needed to be careful, lest Xi Huang become displeased and cut off his escape route.
However, if Junior Brother Su Ganxiu is also on the list... Jiao Fei and the others must have found Lin Xiaolian. Moreover, Junior Brother Su Ganxiu wields the Invisible Sword, a killing magic weapon at the peak of the True Form level, which helped the Primordial Heavenly Demon Seal advance to the Illusion God level, thus becoming a true Cave Heaven Magic Weapon...
The plans of the two patriarchs have only now truly achieved half their success...
Senior Brother Guo Songyang, Senior Brother Luo Gongyuan, and Junior Brother Su Ganxiu are on the Yangshen Ranking. Although their freedom is restricted, their lives are not in danger... In the Primordial Universe, they had no hope of achieving Dao Integration, so they only need to wait patiently. When the Heavenly Phoenix breaks through the boundary and the position of Creation becomes vacant, then Ancestor Doufasheng will also be able to cultivate the Creation Primordial Spirit and lead his disciples to break through the Primordial Universe...
Jiao Fei, Xu Qing, and Pang Wei have just attained the Nascent Soul stage and have a bright future; they should not be on the Yang God Ranking… The rest of the disciples are not qualified to be on the ranking at all. If they hadn't planned ahead, eight or nine out of ten of them would have died…
I don't want to be like Senior Brother Guo, Senior Brother Luo, and Junior Brother Su, waiting to defeat the ancestral master in a battle of magic and achieve Dao integration in the new universe... but Jiao Fei's path is also not suitable for me...
Behind Jiao Fei, countless important figures have placed their bets: Old Qiu, Doufasheng Ancestor, Taixuan Elder, Guangcheng Daoist... Hey, even the four immortal primordial spirits of the Daoist sect have all made their moves...
If I want to achieve Dao, the best opportunity will be when the powerful break free from the Yang God Ranking in the future...
Cao Ya took a deep breath and diligently cultivated the Dao, getting infinitely closer to the realm of Dao Integration.
