That misty clear light was the manifestation of the Way of Creation, born when the two qi of Yin and Yang evolved to their ultimate limit.
Its appearance directly overwrote East King Duke's Pure Yang Dao, transforming the scorching heat capable of melting Time-Space into Creation Light.
The scorching Pure Yang Dao was the ultimate limit of Yang, yet it could not escape the scope of the Dao of Yin and Yang, much less the Way of Creation that Nuwa had derived from Yin and Yang.
This overwriting lasted only an instant. Then, the misty clear light gradually shattered into droplets of radiant rain that fell into all things, granting them greater spirituality and splendor.
"Dao Friend, please return." Nuwa put away the Yin Yang Creation Mirror in her hand and gave East King Duke a calm glance.
Compared to his earlier high-profile display of Da Luo might, he now seemed utterly dejected, no longer possessing the will to contend.
"Thank you, Dao Friend, for showing mercy." East King Duke bowed, then withdrew at once.
The gap was simply too great. It was more like an adult bullying a child, enough to extinguish any thought of resistance in a newly ascended Great Luo Supreme.
"This..." The Great Luo Supremes watching the battle were equally shocked and bewildered.
"Big Brother, this..." Jade Pure Daoist could not help looking toward Grand Pure Daoist.
"It seems Dao Friend Nuwa was the greatest beneficiary of the Dao Ancestor's Sermon."
After a long silence, Grand Pure Daoist gave his judgment.
Jade Pure Daoist and Upper Pure Daoist exchanged glances, their eyes full of helplessness.
In terms of comprehension and talent, no Innate Divine Saint could surpass the Three Pure Ones. Yet Nuwa was already a Great Luo Supreme.
"Return and enter seclusion." The Three Pure Ones returned to Kunlun Mountain and entered seclusion.
The other Great Luo Supremes reacted much the same way, secretly shocked by Nuwa's strength. Some Innate Divine Saints had no choice but to put away their little schemes.
In short, Penglai Immortal Island had now completely changed hands.
"Take it." Nuwa returned the Realm Bead she had just taken to Fang Xun.
"I see that this immortal island can conceal itself beyond the Primordial Wilderness. Move it into Chaos first."
"Yes." Fang Xun's face lit up with joy. Through the Realm Bead, he controlled Penglai Immortal Island as it concealed itself in the void and began leaving the heavens and earth of the Primordial Wilderness.
"Chaos?" Watching the scenery outside rapidly change, Nuwa suddenly thought of the Method of Reversing to Limitlessness.
"Xuansu has given me a cultivation ground I can't refuse. Should I give it a try?"
As she felt the Primordial Wilderness Heavenly Dao's influence grow ever weaker, this thought arose in Nuwa's heart.
When she had learned how difficult the Method of Reversing to Limitlessness was, she had already abandoned that path.
She had already walked some distance along the Great Luo Path. After comprehending the concept of "Nothingness," she had also tried to deduce the Method of Reversing to Limitlessness.
But she had clearly failed.
The concept of the Innate Five Primes was not actually difficult. The first hurdle in the Method of Reversing to Limitlessness was Taiji, which represented the state before heaven and earth were opened, when Yin and Yang had yet to divide.
Taiji itself had a conceptual vessel in the Primordial Wilderness—the Taiji Diagram of Heaven-Opening Treasure.
According to the information Nuwa had obtained from the River of Time, the Taiji Diagram was in Dao Ancestor Hongjun's hands.
Even so, Hongjun still used the Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses. Perhaps that had to do with Hongjun's own choice, but it also showed just how difficult this path was.
Nuwa simply had not expected to arrive in Chaos so soon after leaving the Purple Sky Palace.
"I'll try it, then." Nuwa was someone with exceptional resolve. Having made her decision, she prepared to deduce the meaning of "Taiji."
"Oh, right, Xuansu." Nuwa turned to look at Fang Xun, who was holding the Pure Yang Immortal Sword and familiarizing himself with its sword intent. With a raised hand, she sent a stream of light into Fang Xun's mind.
"This is the new version of the Xuan Su Scripture. Its Da Luo Chapter has been updated and contains much of the essence of the Dao Ancestor's Sermon. Cultivate well. Da Luo is not the limit."
Fang Xun blinked, once again unable to stop himself from praising Empress Nuwa.
Fang Xun: "Do you understand the sheer value of having Empress Nuwa as a teacher?!"
Fang Xun: "Even my exclusive cultivation method gets updates!"
Fang Xun uploaded "Xuan Su Scripture: Da Luo Chapter."
Meng Qi: "Huh? I never expected us to indirectly hear the sermon this way."
The Da Luo Chapter contained a great deal of the Dao Ancestor's exposition on the Da Luo Realm. Its lofty insights even allowed one to glimpse a fraction of the splendor beyond Da Luo.
It even included the Dao Ancestor's three questions and three answers after the sermon.
In Fu Xi's words, this was already outright spoiling one's disciples.
Ye Fan: "Two more paths that pursue 'Nothingness.'"
Both the Method of Reversing to Limitlessness and the Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses were orthodox paths toward "Nothingness."
With these two paths included, the Chat Group now effectively possessed four paths leading to "Nothingness."
Although the Method of Reversing to Limitlessness was obscure and the Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses incomplete, that did not matter.
A line of thought alone was enough. That spark of Spiritual Light was the most crucial thing.
After all, Ye Fan and the others each had their own Dao. These could at most serve as references.
The most excited among them was Meng Qi. To him, these were two more methods of transcendence!
"Method of Reversing to Limitlessness..."
"Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses..."
Meng Qi rarely found himself so troubled. His brow tightly furrowed as he paced beneath the Great Dao Tree in the rear courtyard of Jade Void Palace.
"What is Daddy doing?" The little girl had never seen her father like this before and could not help being curious.
"Your daddy is thinking about how to take you out to play. Don't disturb him." Gu Xiaosang rested her cheek on one hand as she watched Meng Qi beneath the Great Dao Tree, her eyes shining.
"I'll abandon the Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses. My situation is special. With the Three Pure Ones as one, I probably won't even be able to slay the Three Corpses."
Meng Qi's world also possessed a method for slaying the Three Corpses, but their foundations were completely different and could not be compared.
This Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses from the Primordial Wilderness was a path toward "Nothingness." It slayed one's three thoughts of good, evil, and attachment to reach a state without thought or intention. Then, by merging the Three Corpses into one, it elevated the conflict between "existence" and "Nothingness" to its utmost extreme, allowing one to grasp the true meaning of "Nothingness."
Of course, this was merely Nuwa's current understanding of the Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses. She had not even obtained the complete cultivation method yet.
"The Method of Reversing to Limitlessness is very orthodox, even more orthodox than the Method of Reducing to Seek Emptiness, but it is also difficult."
The Method of Reducing to Seek Emptiness, the Method of Dao Attainment through Three Corpses, and even the Sacrifice Dao Method all cut away one's own Yinguo. They performed "subtraction" to reach the state of "Nothingness."
But the Method of Reversing to Limitlessness instead deduced the true meaning of "Nothingness" from nothing while within the realm of "existence," using it to break free of the restraints of "existence."
"I can use it as a reference, but my foundation still lies in the Method of Reducing to Seek Emptiness."
Meng Qi had already made up his mind. With a wave of his hand, his daughter's little blanket flew into his grasp.
"Why is Daddy taking my little blanket?" The girl looked at her mother with tearful eyes, asking in grievance and confusion.
"That's the Taiji Diagram." Gu Xiaosang rolled her eyes slightly. Sometimes, Meng Qi's doting affection for their daughter even made her jealous.
Holding the Taiji Diagram, Meng Qi glanced at the chat panel and revealed a kindly smile.
What a coincidence. He, Meng Qi, had the Taiji Diagram!
