Conspiring for the Great Dao, Returning to Chaos
Pangu harbored reservations, and so too did Shichen.
For them, the most important thing is always their own path.
Everything else is secondary and trivial.
If there are no other threats, Shichen would not mind fighting Pangu with all his might.
Even in failure, he had no complaints.
His insistence on fighting Pangu was also for the sake of his own path to enlightenment.
Now that the path to advancement is blocked, everything has lost its meaning.
"In that case, let's wait until we've resolved the Great Dao issue before we fight with all our might."
Shichen Chen said firmly.
"Very well, I will certainly do as you wish, fellow Daoist!"
Pangu nodded solemnly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two had temporarily resolved their feud.
"That's good. You two are the strongest among us. With your combined efforts, we will surely be able to overcome this calamity!"
Hongjun's words eased the tense atmosphere in the hall.
"Please do not be careless, everyone."
Even at my peak, facing the Great Dao would mean certain death.
Although I have now awakened again, I am still some distance from my peak.
Not only me, but Fellow Shichen has also suffered a great loss of strength, probably less than half of his former power!
Although Pangu did not want to discourage everyone, there were some things he had to say.
Although he had failed to attain enlightenment before, he had touched upon the level of the Great Dao and was naturally aware of its terrifying power.
In Pangu's view, even if they joined forces, they would be completely unable to withstand the power of the Great Dao.
"That's right, I haven't fully recovered yet, and even with the help of the Great Dao of Time, I can't maintain this state for long!"
The Shichen was also not optimistic.
Like Pangu, he was also aware of the power of the Great Dao.
As soon as the two finished speaking, the hall fell silent.
All three of them, including Hongjun, had solemn expressions.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, you have also faced the Great Dao directly, do you know the current state of the Great Dao?"
Pangu then turned to look at Cihang.
"Fellow Daoists, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Although our strength is inferior to that of the Great Dao, the situation of the Great Dao is not necessarily so optimistic either."
I still have a very high chance!
Cihang did not want everyone to back down before even making a move.
Of course, what he said came from the bottom of his heart.
When Pangu and the other gods and demons fought to the death, the Great Dao, as the mastermind behind everything, did not benefit from it either.
He underestimated Pangu's strength, which led to him being devoured by Pangu and also damaging his own essence.
If that were all, with the power of the Great Dao, I would have fully recovered by now, after so much time.
In reality, the Great Dao is not the sole supreme being in chaos.
His injuries also attracted the attention of other supreme experts.
If Cihang's prediction is correct, Da Dao has not yet recovered, and has even suffered further damage.
Otherwise, the Great Dao wouldn't be so cautious, not even tolerating Hun Yuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal.
Of course, all of this is merely Cihang's speculation.
To confirm this matter, we need to discuss it carefully among everyone.
"Although I successfully passed the tribulation of attaining enlightenment that day, I was still outmaneuvered by the Great Dao."
You can all take a look!
As soon as she finished speaking, Cihang revealed her primordial spirit once again.
The complex and mysterious seal was also displayed directly before everyone's eyes.
Pangu and the others immediately activated their primordial spirit power to begin probing the Great Dao seal.
Although this is merely the power left behind by the Great Dao, it can still be used to deduce the current strength of the Great Dao.
Stimulated by the primordial spirits of Pangu and Shichen, the tranquil Great Dao restrictions began to circulate.
At this moment, Cihang was under tremendous pressure.
Those endless runes almost tore his primordial spirit and sea of consciousness apart.
Despite this, Cihang persisted.
Only after Pangu and Shichen withdrew their primordial spirits did the Great Dao restriction fall silent once more.
"Fellow Daoists, have you discovered anything?"
Cihang's face was still pale.
"If we are not mistaken, the Great Dao is indeed injured and no longer at its peak."
Otherwise, even with only its remaining strength, it wouldn't be able to withstand it easily!
Pangu's originally somber expression softened somewhat.
"In that case, I'm not without a chance of winning!"
Shichen also revealed a smile.
Those who received the answer all breathed a sigh of relief.
"However, even if the Great Dao has flaws, it is not so easy to deal with."
Despite my best efforts to conceal my presence, I fear I cannot hide it for long.
Once the Great Dao becomes aware of this, it will surely take further action.
We don't have much time left!
Pangu's expression turned serious once again.
"Among us, only you have had the most contact with the Great Dao and are the strongest."
This time, the main force targeting the Great Dao is still fellow Daoists.
Fellow Daoist, please speak freely about your plans, and we will certainly cooperate fully!
Cihang immediately spoke up, handing over the reins to Pangu.
Although Shichen's expression was somewhat unpleasant, he did not utter a rebuttal.
The others had even less objection.
"When it comes to the Great Dao, ordinary strategies are no longer of any use."
Ultimately, victory or defeat will be determined by strength.
Now, due to external pressure, the Great Dao has become somewhat lax in its approach to us, and this presents our greatest opportunity.
I will stay in the Primordial World to recover my strength as soon as possible, and so will my fellow cultivators.
Compared to me, the Great Dao pays less attention to you, so you are perfectly free to enter the Chaos realm for cultivation.
With your talent and comprehension, I am confident that you will achieve something in a short time.
And I can further refine the Primordial Origin and merge with the Ruins of Gods and Demons to restore myself!"
When the strengths are evenly matched, cunning and strategy can still be somewhat effective.
But once the difference in strength is too great, all the Jidu seems so insignificant.
What they lack now is ultimately strength.
Although the crowd was somewhat disappointed, they largely agreed with Pangu's explanation.
Whether in the Primordial World or in the chaos, strength reigns supreme.
"That's fine then, I should return to Chaos."
Given the chaotic conditions, it shouldn't be a problem for me to recover.
As for those Ruins of Gods and Demons, I'll leave them to you!
Shichen did not refute it.
He remained in the Primordial World only to wait for Pangu, but now that he is unable to fight Pangu, there is no point in staying here.
"Now that you have been resurrected, there is no point in us remaining in the Primordial World!"
Hongjun, Nuwa, and Houtu had no objections.
The power of the Primordial World may be good, but ultimately it does not belong to oneself.
They will also embark on their own paths.
"Let's work together then!"
After saying this, Pangu left Zixiao Palace.
Because of Pangu's resurrection, the constraints that the Primordial World placed on cultivators are no longer in place.
Cihang, Shichen, Hongjun, Nuwa, and others embarked together on the path back to chaos.
Those who left with them included the Sanqing Ones and their Jieyin.
Although they have not yet attained enlightenment, they are only one step away from Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
Once they step into the Chaos Realm, they can definitely break through immediately.
This time, the group did not return to Mount Luojia with Cihang.
Their relationship was good, but that was all.
In particular, it is impossible for Hongjun, Houtu, and the others to choose to attach themselves to Cihang.
Moreover, given their cultivation levels, establishing a Daoist temple within the Chaos Realm would not be difficult for them.
With Cihang present, the current chaos is free from any danger except for the Great Dao.
