"I have been reborn, and I have possessed one of the three thousand Innate God-Demons, the future leader of the Two Sages of the West, Daoist Jieyin?"
Looking at the information flooding into his mind, a look of disbelief appeared on Ye Xuan's face.
After the initial shock, Ye Xuan calmed down and began to assess his current situation.
Since the Conflict between Dao and Demon in the previous Measure Tribulation, a Yuanhui had already passed. Back then, the Devil Ancestor and others had fought fiercely in the West, and in the end, the Devil Ancestor self-detonated. The endless Spiritual Veins of the Western Land perished with him, and since then, less than one in ten parts of the Innate Spiritual Qi remained!
After that self-detonation, among all the Innate God-Demons, only Ye Xuan and Daoist Zhunti had survived.
As for the other Innate God-Demons, they had either perished or departed; those like Zhenyuanzi of Wuzhuang Temple had chosen to leave the West and enter the East.
Furthermore, it was not just the Innate God-Demons who had died; the Innate Spiritual Qi in the West was so thin it was barely detectable, leaving the land barren. Forget about Innate Spiritual Roots; one could not even find a single Acquired Spiritual Root.
"In this life, since I have been reborn, the prosperity of the West shall be brought about by my own hand!"
After Ye Xuan spoke, a roar echoed from the Heavenly Dao, acknowledging his vow.
Even the Dao Ancestor could only calculate that Ye Xuan was a creature of the West; he could discern nothing else.
Moreover, his personal destiny surged accordingly.
However, although Ye Xuan had made a great vow, there remained a problem: the West was too barren. Where could he go to find endless Innate Rare Treasures to restore the West?
[Ding Dong!]
[The Great Dao Selection System is binding. Please choose one of the following options as a novice gift package.]
[Option One: Obtain the Power of Supreme Destiny; be free from disasters and tribulations, and immune to all laws.]
[Option Two: Obtain an Innate Supreme Treasure as a companion.]
[Option Three: Obtain a Supreme Dharma Gate at the start—the Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams. Turn illusion into reality, obtain the power of a Great Thousand World, possess its Heavenly Dao, and ascend to the Realm of Sages!]
Just as Ye Xuan was pondering, an electronic sound echoed in his ears.
Hearing the electronic sound, Ye Xuan was startled at first, then his face filled with great joy.
"Great Dao Selection System, Power of Supreme Destiny, an Innate Supreme Treasure as a companion?"
A strange look appeared in Ye Xuan's eyes. The Power of Supreme Destiny, while possessing endless mysteries that could turn misfortune into fortune and provide immunity to all tribulations, had its limits.
Looking at the example of Yun Zhongzi, one who possessed only destiny but lacked true strength was merely a spectator. By that logic, wouldn't he have come here in vain? Furthermore, the Ancestor Dragon and his peers were all beings of great destiny, yet they were among the first batch of Innate God-Demons; having great destiny did not guarantee one could become a Sage.
As for an Innate Supreme Treasure, one could look at Emperor Taiyi!
He was a Quasi-Sage powerhouse in his own right, wielding an Innate Supreme Treasure, and his combat power was formidable. Yet, under the calculations of the Heavenly Dao, he was still drawn into the Great Tribulation and perished alongside the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Supreme destiny and Innate Supreme Treasures did not belong to oneself.
He had to become a Sage himself, or even step into a more powerful realm, to attain Great Freedom.
"I choose the third option, the Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams!"
The Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams was a Supreme Dharma Gate he would eventually pioneer in the future.
With a single thought, a Great Thousand World would be created or destroyed. By opening up an immeasurable Buddha Land in the void and relying on the power of endless faith, he could turn the illusory into reality, obtain a true Great Thousand World, and possess its Heavenly Dao. Once he used this to become a Sage, he would be a supreme powerhouse among the Sages.
Among the Heavenly Dao Saints, only Laozi, relying on his supreme divine abilities and the One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with such a path; the other Sages were far inferior by comparison.
[Ding Dong!]
[The host has chosen the third option: the Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams. It is being issued; please inspect it yourself.]
After he made his choice, an electronic sound echoed in his ears, followed by a Supreme Dharma Gate of over a thousand words entering his primordial spirit. Every rune carried supreme charm and contained the power of the endless Great Dao.
Though he had never seen them before, Ye Xuan understood every character. He entered a mysterious and inconceivable state; merely reading through it once, Ye Xuan actually condensed a Great Dao True Seed.
Furthermore, the power of endless Great Dao Laws surged around his body.
"The Great Dao of Dreams..."
"This Supreme Dharma Gate involves opening up a world within a dream. If I could open up three thousand worlds in one breath, and each world were a Great Thousand World, wouldn't I be able to ascend to the rank of a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
If he truly perfected it, he would be considered a supreme powerhouse even among the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals.
"BOOM!"
As Ye Xuan pondered, the heavens roared again. Five-colored clouds shot into the sky, seven-colored divine light shimmered, and from the nine heavens, endless purple energy descended. Celestial maidens scattered flowers, auspicious turtles spat out omens, dragons and phoenixes sang in harmony, and within a million miles of his body, all manner of miraculous signs appeared.
The Sound of the Great Dao entered his ears, like a great bell or a sacred hymn of the Great Dao, leaving him intoxicated and unable to pull himself away.
"This is..."
"A Supreme Dharma Gate is about to be born. With such phenomena, is Senior Brother trying to open up a path to becoming a Sage?"
Watching the endless phenomena in the Vault of Heaven, Daoist Zhunti felt joy. He and Ye Xuan had been companions for over a million years; it was only by relying on their joint efforts that they had survived the Devil Ancestor's self-detonation.
Laozi and the others, all belonging to Pangu's Primordial Spirit, had gone their separate ways after becoming Sages, but the Two Sages of the West remained as they had always been.
Seeing Ye Xuan in Secluded Cultivation, comprehending the Supreme Great Dao, he raised his hand, and a curtain of light directly enveloped this patch of heaven and earth to prevent others from intruding.
Thirty thousand years later, the Great Dao aura around Ye Xuan grew even thicker. Although he had not fully comprehended this Supreme Dharma Gate, he had grasped a glimpse of its essence.
Even that glimpse of essence caused his primordial spirit power to increase significantly.
As for the Method of Becoming a Sage in Dreams, although Ye Xuan had tried his best to perfect it, he was only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, not a Sage. After his efforts, there remained a slight imperfection.
Half a day later, a look of helplessness appeared on Ye Xuan's face as he opened his eyes.
"I should first step into the Realm of Quasi-Saint, then perfect this Supreme Dharma Gate!"
Once it is perfected, I shall be considered a powerhouse even within the Realm of Heavenly Dao; there is no need to rush. As he pondered, another Electronic Sound drifted into his ears.
[Ding Dong!]
[Detection: After one Yuanhui, the Dao Ancestor shall attain the Dao and become a Saint at Yujing Mountain. Please make a selection from the options below.]
[Option One: Head to Yujing Mountain, obstruct the other party's path to sainthood, and upon completing the mission, receive the Complete Path of Three Corpses Becoming a Saint!]
[Option Two: Remain steady and do not emerge, ignoring the matter, and receive a supreme treasure: a strand of Primordial Mother Qi.]
