Hongjun, Houtu, and Nuwa's Shock
After confirming Cihang's cultivation level, Hongjun and the other two couldn't help but exchange wry smiles.
They painstakingly planned and schemed to achieve what they have today.
But compared to Cihang today, their achievements seem so insignificant.
"It is said that one should look at someone with new eyes after three days of observation, and this saying is even more true for you, Fellow Daoist."
Fellow Daoist Cihang's cultivation speed is something to be both envious and jealous of.
Compared to me, you seem to be a reincarnation of Chaos Demon God.
Hongjun admires you!
Hongjun could not hide his envy and jealousy at this moment.
Houtu and Nuwa may not know, but he did know about the state of chaos.
Even though the cultivation environment in the chaotic world is far superior to that in the Primordial World, breakthroughs in cultivation still require accumulation.
Cihang's cultivation speed is unmatched, even by his peak in his previous life.
Perhaps only top-tier gods and demons like Pangu and Shichen can compare to Cihang.
Will Cihang be the next Pangu?
While feeling envious, Hongjun couldn't help but feel powerless.
If the opponent is only slightly stronger than him, he will try his best to catch up.
But Cihang's current Cihang are far beyond his reach.
Even if one feels jealous, one cannot actually feel jealous.
If Hongjun was like this, Nuwa and Houtu were even more shocked, looking at Cihang with envy in their eyes.
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."
Cihang did indeed encounter some fortuitous opportunities, but his breakthrough to this realm was also out of necessity!
Cihang showed no pride in her achievements.
His original plan was to accumulate a deeper foundation.
This breakthrough was somewhat out of necessity.
As soon as Cihang finished speaking, Hongjun and the others were even more astonished.
They know Cihang, and they know that Cihang would not flaunt herself in this way.
If that's the case, then what unforeseen event occurred that they were unaware of?
"A breakthrough in cultivation is a joyous occasion, why do you say so, fellow Daoist?"
But what unexpected event occurred?
Hongjun's expression changed, and he asked nervously.
Were they truly completely unaware? No.
Cihang's attitude reminded them of the sudden sense of urgency that arose from the will of heaven and earth.
Not only that, but the spiritual energy and laws of the entire Primordial World have become extremely active.
The fact that Zhenyuanzi and several others have successively broken through to new heights proves that the will of heaven and earth is fully committed to nurturing and strengthening the cultivators of the Primordial World.
"Fellow Daoist, you'll understand at a glance."
Although Cihang successfully broke through, she was still not in control of her own destiny and was subject to the control of others.
Cihang no longer concealed her aura, and the aura of Hun Yuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal was fully unleashed.
Along with the powerful aura appeared a mysterious and unfathomable Dao rune restriction.
"This is a spirit-sealing restriction, capable of sealing you, fellow Daoist. This restriction originated from the Great Dao itself."
Hongjun and the other two were once again shocked by Cihang.
Although they have never stepped into the Chaos, they are the beings closest to the Great Dao.
They could never be wrong in sensing the aura of the Great Dao.
"How could this be? How could you, fellow Daoist, have touched upon a taboo of the Great Dao, prompting the Great Dao itself to intervene?"
Houtu looked worried.
Of the three, Houtu had the closest relationship with Cihang and was naturally the most worried about Cihang.
"What exactly did you do, fellow Daoist?"
Although Nuwa had concerns, she was even more eager to know the taboos of the Great Dao.
Previously, they envied Cihang; now, they felt pity for her.
Even if she breaks through to the Hunyuan Taiji realm, so what? With the Great Dao's restrictions in place, Cihang has already cut off her escape route.
The Great Dao, that is the true ultimate Dao, the source of everything.
"If I had truly touched upon any taboo, I wouldn't have done this."
The crucial point is, I did nothing wrong; I merely broke through to a higher realm, and yet I became the target of the Great Dao!
Cihang gave a wry smile.
Unlike him, neither Houtu nor Hongjun ever doubted the Great Dao.
In their understanding, the Great Way is supreme and selfless.
"It's just a normal breakthrough, how could this be? How could this happen!"
Cihang's words made Hongjun and the other two look even more unpleasant.
Although the whole picture is unknown, the wisdom of a few people, through just a few words, has already allowed them to foresee part of the truth.
"Nothing is impossible. If the Heavenly Dao can have its own consciousness, how can the Great Dao not be possible?"
The principle of "universal justice" is merely relative.
In Cihang's view, apart from the difference in strength, the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao are no different.
From the perspective of the Great Dao, these cultivators are all resources for his cultivation.
Once their cultivation reaches a certain level, they will begin their invisible harvest.
Even if all of them perish, the Great Dao can still usher in the next era.
Perhaps they weren't the first group of cultivators to suffer this calamity.
The gods and demons such as Pangu and Shichen may not have been the first gods and demons derived from the Great Dao.
"The Great Way, the Way of Heaven."
So that's how it is. No wonder Pangu failed to attain enlightenment, and all of us gods and demons perished.
If all of this is driven by the Great Dao, then everything makes sense.
The disbelief on Hongjun's face was replaced by an expression of understanding.
What had once puzzled him suddenly became clear at this moment.
Although the Chaos Demon God of the past had many conflicts, they never faced each other in life-or-death struggles.
The sudden outbreak of the tribulation of enlightenment caught many gods and demons off guard.
Looking back now, only the Great Way could have accomplished this.
As for the purpose of the Great Dao, having learned from the lessons of the Heavenly Dao, it is not difficult for them to understand.
"We are all pawns of the Great Dao. Once there is any sign of us breaking away from the Great Dao, we will surely face a terrifying calamity."
Not only me, but several of my fellow Daoists were no exception.
Unless some of you fellow cultivators can give up cultivation and be content with your current level of cultivation!
Cihang initially found it hard to accept, but he didn't dwell on it for too long.
Whether they are cultivators from the Primordial World or beings of the Heavenly Dao and the Great Dao, as long as they possess independent consciousness, they will all have a selfish side.
The Great Dao uses all living beings as chess pieces. Hongjun, Hongjun, Nuwa, and Cihang also laid out plans for the Primordial World Houtu, using the Primordial World beings as chess pieces.
It's just that the impact varies depending on cultivation level and strength.
They, too, who were once the players, have become the pieces.
In essence, there is no difference.
Content with this state of being? How could that be?
In their pursuit of cultivation and further advancement, Hongjun and Nuwa calculated almost everything.
How could I possibly give up?
Even Houtu, as a descendant of Pangu, has her own pride and persistence.
Upon learning the true reason for Pangu's failure to create the world, she felt no dejection or fear, only anger and resentment.
The laws of nature cannot frighten her; the great way remains unchanged.
"Fellow Daoist, your return this time must be for the sake of the Great Dao, right?"
I wonder if Youke has any strategies to deal with this?
Houtu was the first to regain her senses and made her choice without hesitation.
Hongjun and Nuwa both looked at Cihang at the same time.
They may seem to have different choices right now, but in reality, they only have one path.
It's simply impossible to get them to give up their spiritual practice.
Therefore, my only choice is to resist the Great Dao together.
