Ghost Immortal
'If the Mystic Gate Immortal Path could reveal the Primordial World of the primordial world and the myriad realms.'
'The fortune contained within it is enough for even several Primordial Chaos Realm beings to offer sacrifices, let alone one.'
"However, I obstructed Pangu Clan at the beginning of World Creation, and I also obstructed Daoist Hongjun at the end of the Dragon-Han era. I wonder if the Mystic Gate Immortal Path can deny that I am their patriarch?!"
Meng Po had her concerns, but for the Innate Dao Lord and the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, only with great fortune could they hope to attain the Primordial Dao.
After hesitating for a moment, Meng Po finally asked:
"You are aware of my identity, fellow Daoist."
"I'm afraid they've already offended Pangu Clan and Daoist Hongjun, and also this world."
"The future of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path Immeasurable Light, but..."
Seeing that Meng Po was already moved, Zhou Yuan's brow shone with Heavenly Light, Myriad Dao Book in his Primordial Spirit Consciousness Sea emitted a mysterious aura, concealing the cause and effect of fate.
He waved his sleeves and laughed heartily:
"The path of Great Dao can only be traversed through struggle."
"Although heaven and earth were created by Pangu, and the path to immortality was established by Hongjun, so what?"
Zhou Yuan's expression was stern, and his words carried an air of domineering authority.
"If one day I attain enlightenment, I might very well be able to change the color of the sun and moon, and allow the Dao to Taiyuan!"
He looked at Meng Po and spoke calmly.
"The Great Dao is never a gift from those in high positions, but rather a pursuit of those in low positions."
"Although the Mystic Gate Immortal Path was founded by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the founders of the Five Immortals of the Heavens and the five major systems were not determined by Hongjun."
"Having endured countless tribulations, I have inscribed the Great Dao upon my heart."
"The only ones who can determine the rank of Mystic Gate Ancestor are sentient beings in the universe. Whoever perfects the Five Immortals of the Heavens system and promotes the development of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path will naturally receive blessings and a rank. This is the natural order of the Great Dao."
"If one day, fellow Daoist, you use the Dao of Ghost Immortals to suppress all other Daos, you might very well become the new leader of the Xuanmen and rebuild the Purple Firmament Palace."
Zhou Yuan sensed Meng Po's surprise.
He tried very hard to keep his facial expression in check.
The talk of the sun and moon changing color and revealing the Taiyuan is utter nonsense.
While it may be theoretically possible to accomplish, in practice, opinions vary.
'But this burst of energy was pretty effective.'
'It's obvious that Meng Po is already tempted.'
'I'll provoke her again, give her a way out, and I don't believe she won't take it.'
Of course, Zhou Yuan wasn't just talking nonsense.
Although Dao Ancestor Hongjun established the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.
However, the system of Mystic Gate Immortal Path needs to be filled in by the patriarchs of each lineage.
Otherwise, it would just be a castle in the air.
Like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water.
The Five Immortals of the Heavens, each a lineage's patriarch, were all powerful figures within the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.
Although Dao Ancestor Hongjun is revered as the leader of the Xuanmen, even Dao Ancestor cannot simply decide the rise and fall of these patriarch-level figures with a single word.
Moreover, after the Opened the Dao in Purple Firmament, the Dao Ancestor Merged with the Heavenly Dao, and could not emerge without countless eons.
In the myths of the past, this one only revealed himself from the Primordial World during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, when the Six Sages emerged together.
'And since that time, until the world returned to nothingness and the Dharma's End arrived, this old man never showed his face again.'
Even someone like Meng Po, before attaining the Primordial Dao, and even if she became one of the Dao Ancestor of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path, probably wouldn't have attracted the personal intervention of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
Meng Po's lips twitched.
The leader of the Xuanmen is going to rebuild the Purple Firmament Palace?!
This Daoist priest thinks too highly of me.
Although she muttered complaints about Daoist Hongjun, she secretly admired him.
He was able to attain the Dao of Chaos Demon God at the end of the ancient times, Opened the Dao in Purple Firmament and reshaping the pattern of heaven and earth, even in the form of a Chaos Demon God.
Given such an existence, why would she compete with it for the position of Dao Ancestor?
But Meng Po was also aware of Zhou Yuan's intentions.
So she no longer hesitated and laughed heartily:
"The Great Dao lies ahead, yet I still cannot let go, I cannot let go!"
This old lady is capable of both taking things on and letting them go.
Completely disregarding his pride, he stood up straight and, under Zhou Yuan's astonished gaze, bowed deeply.
"The Mystic Gate Immortal Path, the Ghost Immortal Path."
"Please enlighten me, fellow Daoist!"
Meng Po remained solemn, showing no resentment whatsoever.
There is no inherent hierarchy in the Way; those who attain it are the ones who come first.
If it truly leads to the Great Dao.
So what if Taiyuanzi as our teacher?
She was more decisive than she had imagined!
Zhou Yuan quickly stood up and returned the greeting, saying solemnly:
"Since the Dao Ancestor Hongjun Merged with the Heavenly Dao, the prosperity of the Mystic Gate Five Immortals Heaven, Earth, Human, God, Ghost, and Mysterious Gate has become an inevitable trend."
"However, the Ghost Immortal Path should not have emerged at this time."
"Now that I've intervened, although it may benefit the Mystic Gate Immortal Path..."
"But, he is burdened with great karmic consequences."
"On the day the Netherworld opens and the Ghost Dao flourishes, I will inevitably have to fight against those entangled in karma with this place."
Meng Po pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"Is it that one from the Purple Firmament Palace?"
Seeing Zhou Yuan shake his head, the old lady immediately exuded an aura of dominance. Golden seal script danced on her dark sleeves, and her brows were like peaks as she calmly said:
"In this way."
"I will take on this responsibility!"
Heavenly Light seemed to emanate from between Zhou Yuan's brows. He smiled gently and clapped his hands in praise:
"Good!"
"Excellent!"
In the future, when the underworld vie for power, you will have one more ally in the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
Then, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
After falling into the Netherworld, Zhou Yuan had already made plans for the Ghost Immortal Path.
Now, I'm quite at ease with it:
"The Dao of Ghost Immortal Born from Death, to rise from annihilation, and to return from ruin."
"It is the immortal essence of yin that remains after a living being dies, Pure Yin Transforms into Pure Yang into pure yang. It cultivates life and death, and comprehends destiny."
"If the Way of Heaven, Earth, Three Powers is to be cultivated in this world, it is the foundation for survival."
"Then the Dao of Ghost Immortal represents the end of everything, it represents the future."
"..."
Zhou Yuan delivered a lengthy and eloquent speech.
In the void, a figure of light and shadow also manifests the Ghost Immortal Path.
After hearing this, Meng Po seemed to be deep in thought.
"According to what you said, fellow Daoist, the cultivation of ghost immortals is the process of Pure Yin Transforms into Pure Yang, thus transforming from a ghost into an immortal."
"But after the living die, their spirits rarely remain."
"Without Great Magic Power and Greater Divine Abilities, it would be impossible to maintain his soul."
Moreover, such Yin Soul have no place in the current Primordial Great World, under the rules of Heavenly Dao.
For example, Zhou Yuan's Myriad Souls Banner Spirit only retain the consciousness of some Immortal Golden Immortals.
Like ordinary ghosts, they exist briefly before perishing, ultimately devouring each other within the Myriad Souls Banner. After ten thousand years of nurturing, they are reborn with new intelligence, but they are no longer the same as before.
"So, the Ghost Immortal Path seems to be impassable in the Primordial World?"
"But as you said, this Netherworld should be a paradise for the Ghost Immortal lineage."
"A place where ghosts and immortals flourish."
The Netherworld is filled with yin energy, making it an ideal place to nurture the soul.
Zhou Yuan smiled slightly upon hearing this:
"The Heavenly Dao operates."
"The world today is not the same as the world tomorrow."
"Only when the Netherworld opens will the Dao of Ghost Immortals flourish."
As for when the Netherworld will open, Zhou Yuan dared not speak rashly.
Meng Po seemed to be deep in thought.
Her thoughts wandered, Dao mechanism unfolded in her eyes, with wisps of celestial light emanating from her body.
"Transcending the darkness, returning to stillness, Born from Death."
She glanced at Zhou Yuan and slowly spoke:
"If that's the case, can the annihilated Chaos Demon God who cultivates the Great Dao of Ghost Immortal return? Can he transcend it?"
"Is it possible to reassemble one's avatars amidst endless annihilation, seize a glimmer of hope, and reunite one's primordial spirit and soul?"
