Chapter 19

His Dao Heart Purple Mansion stirred as the Hun Dong Will, deep within the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation's inheritance, began to tremble.

He circulated the innate Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi within his body, ignited the light of spiritual wisdom, and elevated his Dao Heart Will to its peak state, embarking on the path of creation.

The beginning of Chaos and Primordial Chaos originated from the Mysterious Female of the Void.

In the void, the Dao gave birth to all things; chaos first opened, and myriad phenomena emerged.

The Five Primes Eras cycled in sequence, as the universe moved from formlessness to form, from qualitylessness to quality.

In the earliest Tai Yi Era, Primordial Chaos had yet to take shape, still in a formless, qualityless initial state.

Then the Tai Chu Era arrived, and the first Chaos Qi and Primordial Chaos Qi were born within the universe, creating conditions for the Mother of the Great Dao to gestate.

Subsequently, the Tai Shi Era descended, and the Mother of the Great Dao was born, governing Chaos and Primordial Chaos.

At this time, the universe had form but no quality, and all things began to manifest.

In the Tai Su Era, the universe's Qi, form, and quality coexisted without substance, forming the primordial matter that was the root of all things.

In the final Tai Ji Era, the embryo of the Chaos Demon God appeared, symbolizing the birth of new life force in the universe.

As the process of yin-yang evolution gradually became clear, it heralded the beginning of the universe's transition from chaos to order.

With the initial formation of Primordial Chaos, the Innate Five Primes vividly enacted the emergence of all things and phenomena from nothingness.

The supreme Great Dao Will was born in this process, condensing the ultimate mysteries of Tai Xu Chaos and the principles of all phenomena, and the Mother of the Great Dao was also gestated within it.

All of this displayed the grand tapestry of the universe's birth, evolution, and development.

Within Chaos, the Three Thousand Great Dao Demon Gods were born, and the predecessor of the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation, the Innate Reincarnation Great Dao Demon God, occupied a place among them.

His birth was as a Dao Lord, originating from the source of the Innate Reincarnation Great Dao.

His body was not of flesh and blood, but formed from the Primordial Chaos Reincarnation Ancestral Qi.

All his external manifestations were the display of the Innate Reincarnation Great Dao within Chaos, Chaos's interpretation of the Great Dao.

At this moment, Tai Ming was immersed in it, as if transformed into the Chaos Great Dao Demon God of old.

Wrapped in the endless rhythm of the Innate Reincarnation Great Dao, Tai Ming was gestating a unique Ghost Dao, like a Dao seed immersed in the Ocean of the Great Dao, frantically absorbing the Dao rhythm as nourishment.

At this time, Tai Ming had gathered multiple Daos within himself, including both innate and postnatal Daos. He deeply understood that opening the true core of the Ghost Dao was not difficult; the challenge lay in integrating all Daos into it, so that the Ghost Dao could possess power surpassing all else.

His idea was to incorporate the characteristics of the Innate Great Dao into the Ghost Dao, merging the strengths of both innate and postnatal Daos, to accommodate the future Three Thousand Innate Great Daos and the myriad postnatal Daos, granting the Ghost Dao infinite potential.

Once this idea emerged in Tai Ming's mind, it grew wildly like taking root.

He did not know whether other divinities who had opened top-tier postnatal Daos had achieved this, but at this moment, Tai Ming had already seen a path leading to the supreme Dao.

He began to continuously deduce around this idea.

In the void of chaos, Tai Ming drew power from the illusory Reincarnation Demon God's inherited imprint.

In this process, his will, like a chaotic cave-like existence, gradually soaked into it.

Though this process was very slow, Tai Ming persisted like an ant swallowing an elephant.

Over the long ages, within this inherited memory devoid of time and space, a divine tree that blotted out the sky emerged.

On the lush branches of this divine tree, exquisite pearls and jade fell, and the glazed light of the Three Thousand Great Daos shone brilliantly.

At the same time, billions of postnatal Daos transformed into branches and leaves, with countless Dao mysteries converging within.

The divine tree sometimes evolved into the gods and demons of all heavens, displaying scenes of myriad realms; sometimes it transformed into Tai Ming's figure, deducing the state of Myriad Daos Return to One.

At this point, the inherited imprint originally belonging to the Innate Reincarnation Great Dao Demon God had been replaced by Tai Ming's imprint.

** Beneath the Great Dao Treasure Tree, his form transformed into Tai Ming, his expression neither sorrowful nor joyful.

At this moment, the treasure tree shifted and coalesced into a strand of Great Dao Ancestral Qi, interwoven with purple and dark hues.

They intertwined into myriad Dao Spiritual Mechanisms—reincarnation, demon, buddha, corpse, ghost, and more—their radiance like an eternal great sun.

After a long time, a grand dark-purple spiritual mechanism quietly merged into Tai Ming's brow, into his Purple Mansion.

The surrounding scenes instantly shattered, and his eyes, as if from another life, slowly opened.

Tai Ming sighed with emotion: "I never expected that the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation's inheritance would hide such astonishing secrets."

He realized that the Reincarnation Dao pursued by the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation was already within him.

In his attempts, Tai Ming not only absorbed the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation's Reincarnation Demon God inherited imprint but also obtained a wisp of Primordial Chaos Reincarnation Ancestral Qi.

Though this wisp of ancestral qi was faint, to Tai Ming, it was like a seed leading to the Innate Great Dao.

Decisively, he merged this wisp of Primordial Chaos Reincarnation Ancestral Qi into his own Tai Ming Hun Dong You Yuan Dong Ming Ancestral Qi.

At this moment, Tai Ming entered a mysterious state of the Innate Dao Realm, as if returning to the embrace of the Great Dao.

His Dao comprehension and insights soared rapidly, his thoughts transcending the Primordial World, observing the evolution of Chaos and Tai Xu from the sidelines.

The clear Primordial World, the interweaving of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the true meaning of the Dao in the cycles of sun and moon, and the rotation of heaven and earth's order all unfolded before his eyes.

He even glimpsed the glory of the ancient Primordial World.

At the same time, he sensed a realm of the Netherworld growing.

However, a gaze seemed to detect his prying and turned toward him.

Coming back to himself, a brand-new Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi appeared in Tai Ming's Purple Mansion—the Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi.

It possessed both the undivided, chaotic-oneness nature of Primordial Chaos and the latent potential of the Postnatal Ghost Dao.

When Tai Ming cultivated to the highest realm, he could master the Wondrous Ghost God, the Supreme Dharma Body, command the heavens with the Ghost Dao, and grasp the essence of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

At this moment, Tai Ming had already surpassed the former Great Dao Demon God's Dao Lord, reaching a state of perfect fusion between Innate and Postnatal Great Daos.

Half a foot had stepped into the domain beyond the Innate Divine Being, like an eternal, undying incarnation of the Great Dao—one thought could annihilate infinite chaos.

Though only briefly lost in rapture, Tai Ming clearly understood that the path of cultivation required steady footing. The immediate task was to merge the Innate and Postnatal Daos he had comprehended and forge a unique Ghost Dao core.

That single divine journey felt to Tai Ming like endless ages, yet outside, only an instant had passed.

The great war on the Western Land had not truly begun.

During that divine journey, Tai Ming grasped the vast and profound true meaning of the Great Dao, sensing the wondrous scene within Chaotic Tai Xu where nothing existed yet all phenomena were conceived.

In a flash, he understood the essence of dozens of Innate Great Daos, his Dao attainment instantly pushed to the limit, breaking through the shackles of the Immortal Venerable God realm.

This surge in Dao attainment allowed Tai Ming to accommodate even more true meaning of the Great Dao, making his strength comparable to a true Grand Unity Venerable God.

Within the ancestral vein blessed land of Sumeru, a Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Treasure Tree stood tall, nurturing endless Innate Primordial Chaos.

After a million years, the treasure tree had grown beyond measure.

It took the Postnatal Ghost Dao as its trunk, the Innate Ghost Dao as its roots, the Three Thousand Great Daos as its branches, and the Myriad Daos of the Heavens as the veins of its leaves and flowers.

At the same time, it bloomed with nine distinct yet origin-unified spiritual lights of purity, tolerance, truth, and more.

The dark-purple Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi coiled around the treasure tree like a winding dragon.

Around the Ancestral Qi, nine new types of Ghost Dao origin spiritual lights blossomed, forming nine Divine Rings of the Great Dao, nurturing a boundless Primordial Chaos Dao Domain.

These dark-purple Primordial Chaos Dao Qi evolved into the foundation of all spirits and all gods.

Yin and Yang merged, transforming into one Primordial Chaos Qi; the Five Elements multiplied, and time-space nurtured all things.

Formless and imageless, nameless and lawless, neither void nor real, without beginning or end—all fell within the scope of the Dao.

Myriad Daos interwove, flowing within Tai Xu—this was the true essence of the Innate Primordial Chaos One Qi.

At last, Tai Ming evolved the Innate Primordial Chaos One Qi into Tai Xu Chaos, nurturing countless Chaotic Dao Principles.

Supreme, transcending all, mastering all.

At this moment, Tai Ming felt an indescribable completeness.

By combining the Innate Ghost Dao and the Postnatal Ghost Dao, and leveraging the power of the Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi, Tai Ming fused his own chaotic system into one, forming the Innate Primordial Chaos One Qi.

In this process, Tai Ming's Hun Dong Will was baptized by the Primordial Chaos Dao Qi and gradually transformed.

The original all-devouring Hun Dong had turned into the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Domain, merging all wills—demonic, Buddhist, corpse, and others—into one.

At this point, Tai Ming bore no trace of distinction between demon and Buddha.

His heart attained the realm of great freedom, great liberation, and great ease.

Silently and without a sound, Tai Ming broke through the bottleneck between Venerable God and Taiyi.

His body dissipated, leaving only the pure power of the Innate Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi.

As the Innate Primordial Chaos One Qi surged, Tai Ming's will and spiritual light engulfed the Primordial Chaos Dao Domain, condensing into the Innate Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Body—with the Innate Ghost Dao as its bones and the Postnatal Ghost Dao as its form.

Having broken through to the Indestructible Grand Unity Venerable God realm, Tai Ming was clad in a Great Dao Divine Robe interwoven with Ghostly Purple. His face was delicate, carrying a faint smile.

His eyes turned into a strange dual-color of dark gold, and behind his head circled a six-layered Ghostly Purple Divine Ring of the Great Dao.

His aura embraced all phenomena, towering above the Myriad Daos.

Everything around him seemed to become mere backdrop, the order of heaven and earth fading into a blur.

After breaking through, Tai Ming did not immediately emerge from seclusion. Instead, he took the opportunity to review his Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao and consolidate his cultivation realm.

Like other Grand Unity Venerable God Dao Seekers, he delved deep into his own Dao authority, for this was the core of the Taiyi Great Dao.

As an Innate Divine Being of the Ghost Dao, Tai Ming was no exception.

Yet his situation was unique, unlike ordinary Innate Divine Beings.

Through a twist of fate, his Innate and Postnatal aspects had merged into one, forming the unique Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao, making his authority vague and elusive.

After mixing in the Demonic Dao, Buddhist Dao, Corpse Dao, and other Dao veins, he scattered his authority and reintegrated it into the Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Origin.

This origin revealed his heart-mind will, his Dao attainment origin, and his wisdom spiritual light.

Thus, his Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao gave birth to nine brand-new Dao transformations, known as the Nine Transformations of the Source.

These nine transformations included Purity, Tolerance, Truth, Illusion, Freedom, Divinity, Transcendence, Wuji, and Primordial Chaos, closely tied to Heart-Mind, Wisdom, Will, Emotion, Self, True Self, Transcended Self, No-Self, and Dao-Self.

Each source transformation could be seen as a derivative of the Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao authority, intimately connected to Tai Ming's Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao, and could even stand alone as a cultivation path for the Taiyi realm.

Tai Ming attempted to comprehend all nine powers simultaneously to strengthen the foundation of his Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao, including the Transformation of the Heart, Transformation of Wisdom, Transformation of Will, and so on.

The Transformation of the Heart embodied the boundlessness of the Dao Heart; the Transformation of Wisdom emphasized the power of knowledge; the Transformation of Will displayed the immortality of will.

The Transformation of Emotion spoke of the terror and influence of emotions, while the Transformation of Dao Nature touched on the relationship between self and heavenly mandate.

The Transformation of True Spirit emphasized the uniqueness of the True Self.

Path of Mutation: surpassing others is easy, surpassing oneself is hard.

The one who surpasses breaks free from the cage of fate, shatters the boundaries of time and space, and crushes all fetters of the self, elevating their own level to reach another realm of self-transcendence.

The me of the next moment will surely be stronger than the me of this moment, born from the mysteries of Great Luo Insight.

Path of Limitlessness: the state of limitlessness—measureless, infinite, boundless, selfless.

Gathering the power of the ego, the self, and the superego, merging the three into one, mastering time and space, becoming the sole entity of all realms—I am heaven and earth, heaven and earth are me.

All things in the world are external objects; reaching the state where there is no self yet everywhere is me, comprehending the mysteries of Six Treasuries Immortal Thief.

Origin transformation, also known as Transformation of Dao Self—Dao Self is the source of all things, the initial point, grasping the root of heaven and earth, the essence of all phenomena.
