At this moment...
After hearing Xuan Yang's reply...
The cultivators present all froze slightly in unspoken accord.
After all, they had realized...
When Xuan Yang had answered them just now...
What he had said was not, "The drawbacks have not yet been discussed"...
What he meant was, "Neither the advantages nor the drawbacks have been discussed"!
That was very interesting!
After all...
In the eyes of the cultivators present...
The Dao of Primordial Chaos was not bound by the Heavenly Dao, did not require the Heavenly Dao's approval, and could achieve true freedom and ease while possessing a realm equal to that of a "Saint"...
That alone was already immensely appealing.
After all, Saints were essentially selling part of their freedom to the Heavenly Dao in exchange for power.
But Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals could retain their freedom while possessing that same power.
That was already unbelievably satisfying.
Yet Xuan Yang had actually said that the "advantages had not yet been discussed"?
That made the cultivators' hearts itch even more.
What other advantages did a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal have?!
Therefore...
Every cultivator present became exceedingly expectant.
Especially the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who could no longer restrain themselves and hurriedly asked Xuan Yang:
"West Emperor, stop keeping us in suspense. Hurry up and tell us!"
Xuan Yang smiled faintly.
He did not continue to tease them.
Instead, he directly continued explaining the other advantages of a "Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal":
"Other than the advantages I mentioned just now, a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal..."
"For example, not being restricted by the Heavenly Dao..."
"Has many other advantages."
"For instance, their comprehension of laws is much deeper, allowing them to make far more use of laws in actual combat."
"And their power comes entirely from their control over their own laws, without reliance on external energy."
"Therefore, when within Chaos, a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal would not be affected. In this regard, they are far superior to Saints."
"Of course, if they are within the Primordial Wilderness, Saints still hold some advantage, since Saints can wield the power of the Heavenly Dao."
"However, Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals have another advantage that Saints can absolutely never compare with..."
"That is, Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals still have the possibility of entering a higher realm."
"As for the Saint Realm, because it is a special realm that transcends Hunyuan, once one reaches the end of the Saint Realm, there is no further advancement possible."
Xuan Yang continued speaking.
And when he reached this point, the shock in the hearts of the cultivators present grew even more intense.
There was no need to mention figures such as Laozi, Yuanshi, Zhunti, Jieyin, and East King Duke...
Every one of them was utterly stunned.
And it was not only them. Even Di Jun, Taiyi, Chang Xi, Xi He, Nuwa, Fuxi, Tongtian, Queen Mother of the West, Hongyun, and Zhen Yuanzi...
Those who had read Xuan Yang's Diary were also greatly shocked at this moment...
Because none of what Xuan Yang had just said had ever been written in the diary before!
So... even they were learning of this for the first time.
Naturally, they were immensely shocked.
After their shock, Tongtian could not help but ask Xuan Yang, "West Emperor..."
"The higher realm you mentioned just now, what exactly is it?"
Xuan Yang smiled faintly and answered calmly, "Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal!"
"Commonly known as the Great Dao Realm!"
As Xuan Yang's voice fell, every cultivator's heart trembled.
Xuan Yang continued explaining to them:
"Perhaps this is also the first time everyone has heard of this realm."
"But in truth, this realm does exist."
"Moreover, one being from our Primordial Wilderness, known to all, once attempted to break into it."
The Twelve Ancestral Witches spoke in unison, "Could it be Father God?"
Xuan Yang smiled and nodded at them. "That's right..."
"Back then, Great God Pangu was attempting to reach the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm, also known as the Great Dao Realm."
"Unfortunately, Great God Pangu fell one step short in the end."
"He only succeeded halfway, entering the half-step Great Dao Realm, before exhausting all his power and perishing on the spot."
"That was why he transformed his body into the Primordial Wilderness!"
The cultivators' hearts shook once more.
Although what Xuan Yang had just said... seemed extremely bizarre...
Upon careful thought, there truly was nothing wrong with it.
Because if Old Ancestor Hongjun were used as the benchmark and regarded as the Peak of the "Saint" realm...
Then Great God Pangu was clearly a being far more powerful than Old Ancestor Hongjun.
Leaving aside everything else, just the matter of "transforming his body into the Primordial Wilderness"...
If Old Ancestor Hongjun were to perish as well, could he also transform his body into the Primordial Wilderness?
Absolutely impossible!
Therefore, Old Ancestor Hongjun was certainly inferior to Great God Pangu!
And Old Ancestor Hongjun was already in the Saint Realm, while the Saint Realm and the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm belonged to the same level, merely with different focuses...
Then above Saints and Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals, there had to be other realms!
Thus, when the cultivators thought it through, they found no flaw in it at all.
What Xuan Yang had said was indeed perfectly reasonable!
Xuan Yang continued:
"As for the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm, the Great Dao Realm..."
"That realm is extraordinary."
"Once one succeeds, one can truly achieve immortality and indestructibility without needing to rely on the Heavenly Path."
"One can even freely alter or destroy the Heavenly Path, untouched by karma."
"With a wave of one's hand, one can create a new chaotic universe!"
"For a plane like our Primordial Wilderness, once one enters the Great Dao Realm, one can create as many as one wishes!"
"And once one enters this realm, one's True Spirit is entrusted to the Great Dao of Chaos, standing above all heavenly dimensions. The entire Chaos is under one's control!"
"This is the might of a Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal, the Great Dao Realm!"
Xuan Yang continued speaking.
And after hearing Xuan Yang's explanation...
The cultivators present were all so stunned that they could no longer speak.
Because the Great Dao Realm Xuan Yang had just described was truly outrageous!
Just the few abilities he had mentioned were countless times stronger than those of a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal or a Saint.
However, only Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals could follow the path toward the higher realm of the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal...
Therefore, after learning of this, the cultivators present finally understood...
Why Xuan Yang had said that this was the one point in which "Saints" could never compare with "Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortals."
Because theoretically, a "Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal" could continue cultivating and still have the possibility of advancing further.
But for Saints, theoretically speaking, there was no path beyond through cultivation alone!
