Chapter 19

The Hun Dong Will deep within his Purple Mansion, carrying the inheritance of the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation, began to tremble.

He circulated the Innate Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi within him, aroused the light of spiritual wisdom, adjusted his Dao Heart Will to its peak, and began the path of creation.

At the beginning of Primordial Chaos and Hongmeng lay the Mysterious Womb from the realm of nothingness.

Within nothingness, the Dao gave birth to all things. As Primordial Chaos first opened, all phenomena began to evolve.

The Five Primes Eras circulated in succession. The universe went from formlessness to form and from immateriality to materiality.

In the earliest Tai Yi Era, Primordial Chaos and Hongmeng had yet to take shape and remained in their initial state of being formless and immaterial.

Then the Tai Chu Era arrived. The first Chaos Qi and Hongmeng Qi were born within the universe, creating the conditions for the gestation of the Mother of the Great Dao.

Afterward, the Tai Shi Era descended. The Mother of the Great Dao was born and took charge of Primordial Chaos and Hongmeng.

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

During the Tai Su Era, the universe's qi, form, and substance coexisted without a body, forming the primordial matter that was the source of all things.

Finally, in the Tai Ji Era, the embryos of Chaos Demon Gods appeared, symbolizing the birth of new life force within the universe.

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

As Primordial Chaos and Hongmeng gradually took shape, the Innate Five Primes vividly developed all things and phenomena from nothing into existence.

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

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

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

He was born with the identity of a Dao Master, originating from the source of the Innate Reincarnation Great Dao.

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

Everything he manifested externally was the expression of the Innate Reincarnation Great Dao within Primordial Chaos, the interpretation of the Great Dao by Primordial Chaos.

At this moment, Tai Ming was immersed within it, as though he had transformed into the Chaos Great Dao Demon God of the past.

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

At this moment, Tai Ming had gathered many Great Daos within himself, including both innate and postnatal Great Daos. He knew that opening up the true core of the Ghost Dao would not be difficult. What was difficult was incorporating all the Great Daos into it and giving the Ghost Dao power that surpassed everything.

His idea was to incorporate the characteristics of the Innate Great Dao into the Ghost Dao, gather the strengths of the innate and postnatal Great Daos, and accommodate the future Three Thousand Innate Great Daos and the Myriad Postnatal Daos, giving the Ghost Dao limitless potential.

Once this idea emerged in Tai Ming's mind, it began to grow wildly, as though it had taken root.

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

He began to make continuous deductions around this idea.

Within the void of Primordial Chaos, Tai Ming drew strength from the illusory inheritance imprint of the Reincarnation Demon God.

During this process, his will gradually seeped into it, like a presence resembling a Chaos Cave.

Although the process was extremely slow, Tai Ming persisted without the slightest hesitation, like an ant trying to swallow an elephant.

Over the long years, within this inheritance memory that held no concept of time or space, a divine tree that obscured the sky and covered the earth emerged.

From the luxuriant branches of the divine tree, exquisite pearls and jades hung down, while the glazed radiance of the Three Thousand Great Daos shone brilliantly.

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

The divine tree sometimes evolved into the Daos of the gods and demons of the heavens, displaying scenes from myriad worlds; at other times, it transformed into Tai Ming's figure and deduced the realm of Myriad Daos Return to One.

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

**Under the Great Dao Treasure Tree, his figure transformed into Tai Ming, his expression devoid of sorrow or joy.

At this moment, changes occurred atop the treasure tree, condensing a strand of dark violet and violet-gold Great Dao Ancestral Qi.

They intertwined to form the spiritual mechanisms of many Great Daos, including reincarnation, the Demonic Dao, the Buddhist Dao, the Corpse Dao, and the Ghost Dao. Their radiance was like an eternal sun.

After a long passage of time, a vast, dark-violet spiritual mechanism silently merged into Tai Ming's Purple Mansion between his brows.

The surrounding scene instantly shattered. His eyes seemed to have passed through another lifetime before slowly opening.

Tai Ming sighed. "I never expected that such an astonishing secret would be hidden within the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation's inheritance."

He realized that the Great Dao of Reincarnation pursued by the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation was something he already possessed.

During his attempts, Tai Ming had not only absorbed the Reincarnation Demon God inheritance imprint of the Beast Emperor of Reincarnation but had also obtained a wisp of Primordial Chaos Reincarnation Ancestral Qi.

Though this wisp of Ancestral Qi was weak, to Tai Ming, it was like a seed leading toward the Innate Great Dao.

Without hesitation, he merged this wisp of Primordial Chaos Reincarnation Ancestral Qi into his own Tai Ming Hun Dong Nether Origin Cave-Darkness Ancestral Qi.

At this moment, Tai Ming entered a mysterious state of the Innate Dao Realm, as though he had returned to the embrace of the Great Dao.

His cultivation and comprehension rose rapidly. His thoughts transcended the Primordial World, allowing him to observe the evolution of the Chaos Tai Xu.

The clear Primordial World, the intertwining of the Three Thousand Great Daos, the true meaning of the Great Dao between the sun and moon wheels, and the circulation of the order of heaven and earth all unfolded before his eyes.

He even caught a glimpse of the splendor of the ancient Primordial Wilderness.

At the same time, he sensed a netherworld growing.

However, a gaze seemed to notice his peering and turned toward him.

When he returned to his senses, a brand-new Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi had appeared within Tai Ming's Purple Mansion—the Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi.

It possessed both the characteristics of Primordial Chaos, in which Hongmeng had yet to divide and Chaos was one, and the potential of the Postnatal Ghost Dao.

After Tai Ming cultivated to the highest realm, he would be able to command Wondrous Ghost God and the Supreme Dharma Body, rule the heavens through the Ghost Dao, and grasp the essence of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

At this moment, Tai Ming had surpassed the Dao Master of the former Great Dao Demon God and reached the realm where the innate and postnatal Great Daos were perfectly combined.

One of his feet had already stepped into the domain of transcending Innate Divine Beings. He was like an eternal and indestructible incarnation of the Great Dao, capable of annihilating immeasurable Primordial Chaos with a single thought.

Although he had only been intoxicated for a moment, Tai Ming clearly understood that the path of cultivation required him to remain grounded. His immediate task was to fuse the innate and postnatal Great Daos he had comprehended and open up a unique core for the Ghost Dao.

That brief excursion of the spirit seemed to Tai Ming to have lasted for endless years, but only an instant had passed in the outside world.

The great battle on the Western Land had yet to truly begin.

During his spiritual excursion, Tai Ming comprehended grand and profound truths of the Great Dao and experienced the wondrous scene within the Chaos Tai Xu, where all things did not exist yet countless phenomena were gestated.

In an instant, he understood the essence of dozens of Innate Great Daos. His cultivation instantly rose to its limit, breaking through the shackles of the Immortal Venerable God realm.

The improvement in his cultivation allowed Tai Ming to accommodate more true meanings of the Great Dao, bringing his strength to the level of a true Grand Unity Venerable God.

Within the ancestral-vein blessed land of Mount Sumeru, a Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Treasure Tree towered upward, gestating endless innate Primordial Chaos.

After a million years, the treasure tree had grown to an immeasurable degree.

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

At the same time, it bloomed with nine entirely different yet unified source-origin spiritual lights, including purity, inclusiveness, and truth.

The dark-violet Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi moved around the treasure tree like a coiling dragon.

Around the Ancestral Qi, nine new source-origin spiritual lights of the Ghost Dao bloomed, forming Nine Divine Rings of the Great Dao and gestating a boundless Primordial Chaos Dao Domain.

These dark-violet Primordial Chaos Dao Qis evolved into the foundation of all living spirits and gods.

Yin and yang merged, transforming into one qi of Primordial Chaos; the Five Elements multiplied, while space and time gestated all things.

The formless and imageless, the nameless and ineffable, the void and the true, the beginningless and endless—all lay within the scope of the Dao.

The Myriad Daos intertwined and circulated within the Tai Xu. This was the true meaning of the Innate Primordial Chaos One Qi.

At last, Tai Ming evolved the Innate Primordial Chaos One Qi into the Tai Xu Primordial Chaos, gestating countless laws of Chaos.

Supreme and unsurpassed, it transcended everything and grasped everything.

At this moment, Tai Ming sensed a perfection that was difficult to describe.

After combining the Innate Ghost Dao with the Postnatal Ghost Dao, Tai Ming used the power of the Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Ancestral Qi to merge his own disordered system into one, forming the Innate Primordial Chaos One Qi.

During this process, Tai Ming's Hun Dong Will underwent a baptism by the Primordial Chaos Dao Qi and gradually transformed.

The Hun Dong that had originally devoured everything had transformed into an Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Domain, fusing all the wills of the Demonic Dao, Buddhist Dao, Corpse Dao, and others into one.

At this moment, no traces of the Demonic Dao or Buddhist Dao remained in Tai Ming.

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

Silently and imperceptibly, Tai Ming broke through the bottleneck between the Venerable God and Grand Unity realms.

His body dispersed, leaving behind 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 swallowed the Primordial Chaos Dao Domain, refining a body of the Innate Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao with the Innate Ghost Dao as its bones and the Postnatal Great Dao Ghost Dao as its body.

Having broken through to the Indestructible Grand Unity Venerable God realm, Tai Ming wore a Great Dao Divine Robe woven from dark violet and violet-gold hues. His features were refined, and a faint smile touched his face.

His eyes transformed into strange dark-gold and violet hues, while a dark-violet Six-layered Great Dao Divine Ring revolved behind his head.

His aura contained all phenomena and towered above the Myriad Daos.

Everything around him seemed to have become a mere foil, while the order of heaven and earth faded into a hazy background.

After breaking through, Tai Ming did not immediately leave seclusion. Instead, he used this opportunity to review his Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao and consolidate his cultivation realm.

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

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

His circumstances were unique, unlike those of ordinary Innate Divine Beings.

Through a fortuitous coincidence, his innate and postnatal aspects had merged into one, forming a unique Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao whose authority had become indistinct and difficult to fathom.

After incorporating the Dao lineages of the Demonic Dao, Buddhist Dao, and Corpse Dao, he scattered his authority and reorganized it into the Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao Origin.

This source-origin power revealed his heart and mind, the source of his cultivation, and his spiritual wisdom.

As a result, his Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao gestated nine entirely new Great Dao transformations, known as the Nine Transformations of the Source.

These nine transformations included purity, inclusiveness, truth, illusion, freedom, divinity, transcendence, limitlessness, and Primordial Chaos. They were closely connected to the heart, wisdom, will, emotion, self, true self, higher self, selflessness, and Dao Self.

Each source-origin transformation could be regarded as a derivative of the authority of the Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao. They were closely connected to Tai Ming's Primordial Chaos Ghost Dao and could even independently serve as a cultivation path to a Taiyi Realm.

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

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

The Transformation of Emotion spoke of the terror and influence of emotions, while the Transformation of Dao Nature involved the relationship between the self and destiny.

The Transformation of True Spirit emphasized the uniqueness of the true self.

The Path of Mutation: surpassing others was easy, but surpassing oneself was difficult.

A transcender broke through the cage of fate, shattered the boundaries of space and time, and broke free of every restraint of the self, elevating their own level to achieve self-transcendence and reach another realm.

The self of the next moment would inevitably be stronger than the self of this moment, emerging from the mysteries of Great Luo Insight.

The Path of Limitlessness: the state of limitlessness—immeasurable, infinite, limitless, and selfless.

Gathering the powers of the self, the true self, and the higher self, the three selves merged into one. One controlled space and time, became the sole existence among all realms, and became heaven and earth—I am heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are me.

All things in the world were external objects. One reached the realm of having no self, where everything was oneself, comprehending the mysteries of the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief.

The transformation of the source, also known as the Transformation of Dao Self: Dao Self was the source of all things and the initial point, grasping the foundation of heaven and earth and the essence of all phenomena.
