Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, Another Dao Lord, Order Demon God!
With a wave of his hand, Daoist Xuanming dispersed the endless icy power from the Primordial World, and all his immense power returned to his own body.
In an instant, the minds of the countless beings in the Primordial World became sharp again. Some powerful Innate God-Demon and demons even remembered that a force of ice had swept across the Nine Heavens from the Reincarnation. Any means were nothing but a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and were utterly vulnerable to this force of ice!
"Another fellow Daoist has attained sainthood?"
"The Great Dao of Ice is Xuanming, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!"
The gazes of all the Innate God-Demon were also turned towards the Great Dao of Ice within the Reincarnation, as well as other people. However, within the cycle of Reincarnation, there was only one person who had comprehended the Great Dao of Ice to this extent: Xuanming, one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Ice Ancestral Witch Xuan Ming!
As the profound mystery of freezing space and time within the Great Dao of Ice was fully mastered by the Daoist Xuanming, the Heavenly Dao also emitted a booming sound.
A chilling phenomenon swept across the heavens and spread to the endless earth, freezing everything and time itself. Then, a figure of unparalleled elegance yet cold and majestic aura appeared in the Nine Heavens.
The aura emanating from him caused every living being in the Primordial World to tremble, even their souls, as if their thoughts were about to be frozen.
It was Xuanming!
Seeing Xuanming's figure, all the Innate God-Demon in the Primordial World were dumbfounded.
The Witch Clan does not cultivate the primordial spirit, but only the physical strength. Could it be that this Ancestral Witch Xuanming broke through the shackles of the physical body and cultivated a primordial spirit within it, thus entering the realm of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal?
Seeing the aura emanating from Xuanming surge once more, even causing the true Great Dao of Ice within the boundless Chaos Qi to resonate, even the high-ranking Sage could no longer remain seated, their faces revealing a solemn expression.
"This aura..."
"Another Dao Lord?"
Eight Views Palace, even the usually calm Daoist Laozi's face showed a hint of unease.
To reach a higher realm and ascend above the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, one needs to seize the position of a Dao Lord.
This is a well-known fact even among Sage.
But!
The great Dao he comprehended was also the Way of Yin and Yang.
This great path has a master. The Yin-Yang Demon God is not dead yet, and even if he were truly dead, he would not be a match for Ye Xuan.
Left with no other choice, Laozi had to retreat into Secluded Cultivation once more, preparing to comprehend another great Dao.
On Golden Ao Island, in the Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Sect Master, who was in Secluded Cultivation, wore an expression of disbelief.
"Perfecting the Tenfold Great Dao of Ice?"
"The Witch Clan cultivates Innate Turbid Qi and has no primordial spirit. Even with the Pangu Blood, they can comprehend the three thousand laws, but the more they comprehend each Supreme Great Dao, the more they need Wisdom Light. How can they advance to the Great Perfection?"
Looking at Xuanming, there was confusion, but also a trace of fear. He established the Thread of Life Interception Sect with the original intention of helping all living beings to seize a glimmer of hope. However, since he established the Interception Sect, whether it was the Demon Emperor who relied on half of the Foundation of the Great Dao to enter the realm of half-saint, or the Demon Emperor could enter the realm of Half-Saint.
It was still the Ancestor Minghe who stepped into the realm of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, Daoist Kunpeng who seized the Dao Lord of Water.
One of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the Ancestral Witch of Ice, Daoist Xuanming, who seized the Dao Lord.
Not a single one participated!
If the War of Investiture of the Gods fails to help the Yin Shang Dynasty defy fate, it will likely lose most of its fortune in an instant.
Moreover, it was only because Daoist Tongtian possessed exceptional strength that he was able to avoid falling from the Realm of Sages.
The same applies to Primordial Heavenly Venerate, and perhaps even more so.
Under the Heavenly Dao, there are Seven Saint Positions.
However, there are already ten Sage. If they cannot follow the trend War of Investiture of the Gods General Trend of Heavenly Dao and help Xi Qi win the Investiture of the Gods, they will fall from their Sage status in an instant.
As he was pondering, endless strange phenomena arose between heaven and earth and around him.
The Great Dao of Ice, though not as fundamental as the Great Dao of Yin-Yang, is one of the most basic Daos in the Heavenly Dao. It possesses an incomparably domineering power of destruction and annihilation, and even caused a violent tremor of laws in Primordial World primordial world.
And!
Like the Great Dao of Water.
The Great Dao of Ice is also ownerless.
During his Secluded Cultivation, Xuanming merged with a ball of Ice Demon God. His Origin Power not only allowed him to seize the position of Dao Lord in one fell swoop, but also caused the Great Dao of Ice to resonate with him.
At this moment, as Daoist Xuanming relied on the perfect ice law to step into the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, he also seized the position of Dao Lord.
His power was so great that he could crush ordinary Sage as soon as he attained enlightenment!
"Buzz!"
As Xuanming comprehended the truth, his strength increased, and he officially entered the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. In the Primordial World, a huge phantom of the Innate Frost Divine Mirror appeared, even more profound than a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure. As it slowly rotated, the mirror reflected the scene of endless chaos collapsing and all things returning to death.
All around the Divine Mirror, endless cold air surged forth, giving rise to billions of illusory ancient ice dragons, each hundreds of millions of feet long, coiling in the void and emitting silent roars.
Where the two merge, endless strange phenomena arise, such as absolute zero, the freezing of all worlds, the stillness of time and space, and the severing of life.
It was as if within the Mirror of Ice and Ice, there existed a universe frozen in time.
Above the Vault of Heaven, the auspicious Purple Qi Coming from the East thousands of miles eastward had transformed into a crystal-clear, ice-blue starry river, interspersed with pure chaotic ice crystals and the Heavenly Dao Merit Golden Light. This light directly merged into the illusory image of the Divine Mirror, transforming into a companion treasure that fell into Xuanming's hands.
Throughout the entire Primordial World land, countless illusory ice lotuses appeared. Once obtained, they could clear one's mind and prevent one from going astray. Hexagonal snowflakes, condensed from the supreme Dao of ice, descended from the sky and merged into the earth's Spiritual Vein, suppressing endless malevolent energy.
Within the Xuanming Dao Fruit, the Netherworld also shone with the laws. In the Eighteen Levels of Hell, the power of the Frosty Purgatory greatly increased, leaping to become the strongest hell. Deep within the Reincarnation, the Yin Dew descended to nourish the True Spirit.
Seeing this scene, a hint of joy appeared on Xuanming's usually icy face. She felt the Great Dao of Ice bowing down to her in the darkness, and she knew that she had finally attained enlightenment and stood above all living beings.
Half a day later, the strange phenomenon dissipated, Xuanming opened his eyes. His pupils transformed into a deep, icy blue vortex. He looked at the endless living beings bowing to him in the world, but he did not speak. With a flash of divine light, he entered the Reincarnation once more.
Dao Seeking Palace, looking at the Innate Taiji Diagram in his hand, which was undergoing other mysterious changes, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of enlightenment.
"So, the Daoist Xuanming is also a follower of the Great Dao of Yin-Yang, but he's taken a different path?"
The Great Dao of Ice, in the hands of the Ice Demon God, was merely the Way of Taiyin. Although it was powerful, it still lagged slightly behind that of a top-tier demon god.
However, even during his Secluded Cultivation, Daoist Xuanming also comprehended the principles of Great Dao of Yin-Yang.
The Great Dao of Ice freezes all things and can also be seen as one of the images of the Great Dao of Yin-Yang, encompassing the images of movement and stillness. By relying on the imagery of the unorthodox Yin and Yang, one can comprehend the Great Dao of Ice in Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
"Good!"
"Looking at it this way, simply reaching the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal is enough, but two more things are needed. The first is to reach the ninth level of the Primordial Nine Heavens Realm, and the second is to reclaim my Great Dao from the Yin-Yang Demon God."
However, neither of these requirements can be fulfilled in the short term.
If things go smoothly, Ye Xuan will also offer guidance to others who come to him for advice.
After some thought, Ye Xuan went into Secluded Cultivation again.
In the Reincarnation, Daoist Xuanming did not choose to preach like Kunpeng and the others, but returned directly to the underworld.
"Houtu, when I Secluded Cultivation, there was a mass of Ice Demon God essence. Where did it come from?"
Looking at Daoist Houtu, Xuanming asked directly, his voice cold and aloof, like a cold wind passing by, carrying a sense of unfamiliarity. However, Daoist Houtu was already used to it and answered directly.
"It's from Fellow Daoist Jieyin. He saw you were attempting to break through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm and asked me to pass it on."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Xuanming nodded, a hint of warmth appearing on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Jieyin, have you made any requests?"
"Originally, I had no request, Fellow Daoist Jieyin said that this wisp of demonic god's Origin Power was no longer needed and was just sitting idle, so he asked me to give it to him."
"However, I felt unworthy of such an offer, so I asked what my request was. Fellow Daoist Jieyin said that if we felt bad about it, we could go to the Dao Seeking Palace after we finished our seclusion and discuss the Dao with him."
"With Fellow Daoist Jieyin's strength, do we still need to discuss the Dao with him?"
Xuanming asked, puzzled.
Beside him, Daoist Houtu also shook his head, equally puzzled.
However, discussing the Dao would be entirely beneficial to Houtu and the others.
Thinking of this, Daoist Xuanming also spoke up.
"Good!"
"Once I have consolidated my strength, I will go to the Dao Seeking Palace to discuss the Dao with Fellow Daoist Jieyin."
The next moment, Daoist Xuanming and Houtu also entered Secluded Cultivation to begin their Secluded Cultivation.
Dao Seeking Palace, while Ye Xuan Ye Xuan in Secluded Cultivation, another Electronic Sound entered his ears.
[Ding-dong!]
[The War of Investiture of the Gods has been detected. Due to Daoist Xuanming's ascension to sainthood, Interception Sect Jie Sect has suffered repeated defeats and has summoned the Ten Heavenly Lords to set up the Ten Ultimate Formations to block the Xi Qi army. The Chan Teachings Twelve Golden Immortals have also descended the mountain together. A great battle is imminent. Please select from the options below!]
[Option 1: Participate in the effort, help the Exposition Sect prevent the Twelve Golden Immortals from descending the mountain, break the Ten Deadly Formations, and complete the mission to obtain a ball of Heavenly Dao Origin Power.]
[Option Two: Act in accordance with Heaven's will, help the Chan Teachings Twelve Golden Immortals break the Ten Ultimate Formations, complete the mission, and you will receive one Saint-Slaying Pill.]
[Option 3: Secluded Cultivation seclusion and continue the Secluded Cultivation. Complete the mission to obtain 10% of the power of the Order Demon God's Origin Power!]
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's face showed a thoughtful expression.
"What is the connection between the Twelve Golden Immortals descending the mountain, the Ten Deadly Formations, and the Daoist Xuanming?"
Ye Xuan lightly pinched his fingertips, his eyes swirling with endless Karma, and in an instant, he also understood.
Whether it's the Ancestor Minghe, Daoist Kunpeng, Daoist Yun Xiao, or even Daoist Yuan Yao, none of them have anything to do with the Tongtian Sect Master. They are all methods arranged by themselves. It would be abnormal if the other party wasn't in a hurry.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan shook his head slightly, a disdainful smile curving his lips.
"Only now are you thinking of making a move?"
"After establishing the Interception Sect, he wanted to help all living beings find a Thread of Life, but he remained in a remote corner. Even when Ten Thousand Immortals Paying Homage, he never paid attention to them, only focusing on comprehending the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation."
"If the War of Investiture of the Gods were lost to Primordial, it wouldn't be unjust."
If it weren't for Ye Xuan's intervention, or even if other people were needed, Nuwa, Daoist Nuwa, and Primordial Heavenly Venerate Daoist Laozi would constitute three Sage. If only one more Sage were invited, the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation could be broken in one fell swoop.
And!
Because of Primordial Tianzun's scheming, Tongtian Sect Master had no choice but to fight against Yin Shang in order to fulfill his Heavenly Dao Great Oath.
As for the other forces, they have already been dealt with. It's a choice between two options: if you don't help Yin Shang, it's equivalent to choosing Xi Qi directly.
Ye Xuan shook his head. Basically, the defeat of the Tongtian Sect Master was already sealed, and there was no chance of victory whatsoever.
Thinking of this, he looked down again.
"The Ten Deadly Formations, all flashy and fancy, but the name sounds impressive."
"However, they are just ten slightly more powerful unorthodox formations. They look extremely dangerous, with each formation guarded by Daluo Golden Immortal, but as long as one has even a slight understanding of Innate Grand Array, they will be full of flaws."
With just a glance, Ye Xuan grasped the entire Ten Absolute Formations and could set them up with a wave of his hand.
"This kind of formation, let alone my Heaven Punishing Sword Array or the Five Elements and Five Directions Grand Formation, is like a firefly compared to the Bright Moon, even compared to the Three Great Killing Arrays of the Primordial World, or even the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation in the hands of Daoist Yun Xiao."
"Why would I need to intervene with such a formation?"
If he were to actually make a move, it wouldn't even be shameful enough; even if the Tongtian Sect Master came, it wouldn't be worth Ye Xuan's involvement.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan also spoke up.
Choose the third option and ignore it!
After Ye Xuan made his choice, another Electronic Sound entered his ears.
[Ding-dong!]
[The host has chosen to Secluded Cultivation seclusion, taking a passive stance. One-tenth of the power of the Order Demon God's Origin Power is being distributed. Please review it yourself.]
"Buzz!"
In an instant, another ball of demonic god 'Origin Power fell into Ye Xuan's hand from the void.
It is the Origin Power within the Order Demon God!
Looking at the new ball of Origin Power in his hand, Ye Xuan pondered for a moment.
This Origin Power was of no use to Ye Xuan himself, though he could try to comprehend the Way of Order within it.
However, once he comprehended it, this Origin Power became tasteless to consume, yet too valuable to discard. For Ye Xuan Ye Xuan, even the true Order Demon God wouldn't surpass his own strength, let alone a mere Origin Power.
"I'll keep it for now after I've figured it out!"
"If future disciples or others need it, it can be taken out directly."
Not only the Great Dao of Ice, but also the Way of Order, Ye Xuan had integrated this Great Dao into the Way of Yin and Yang.
If someone in the Primordial World were to comprehend the Way of Order, and only need to take that final step, Ye Xuan could bestow upon them a Origin Power the Order Demon God, helping them to ascend to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
With this in mind, Ye Xuan, wielding the power of the Order Demon God's Origin Power, once again entered Secluded Cultivation.
