Mythical Great Luo Projection

In the Primordial World, Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti appeared on a mountaintop with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Above the clouds in the sky, the figure of the Heavenly Dao flickered into view and vanished.

The two had escaped Empress Pingxin only thanks to its help this time.

They had never imagined that the difference in power between Sages could be so vast.

The Two Sages of the West felt that although they had lost, they couldn't afford to lose face.

That day, amid a sky filled with Buddha-light, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva returned to the Western World to achieve Buddhahood.

In the Netherworld Underworld, Chang'e gazed at Empress Pingxin, tears filling her eyes.

Her beloved, Hou Yi, had been a great shaman of the Witch Race. Guided by Daoist Zhunti, he had gradually become a casualty of the Witch-Demon War.

She knelt before Empress Pingxin, sobbing uncontrollably, and bowed to her on behalf of her husband.

After seeing Ye Changqing off, Chang'e decided to return to the Netherworld Underworld and live there again.

Ye Changqing was glad she had found a place where she belonged.

When Empress Pingxin saw Ye Changqing again, she sighed. He was even weaker than before, and it seemed his life was nearing its end.

"If I could completely merge with the Earthly Dao, could I try again?"

She looked at him with concern as she asked.

But she knew very well that completely merging with the Earthly Dao would take a long time, and he might not live long enough to see it.

Besides, even if she merged with the Earthly Dao, she still wouldn't reach the level of the Great Dao.

It was only her unwillingness to let go and her hopes speaking.

Ye Changqing took out the Earthly Dao Golden Wheel and handed it to her with a smile. "You govern the Six Paths of Reincarnation. You should have seen through life and death long ago."

"And just now, I suddenly gained a new insight!"

Empress Pingxin held the Earthly Dao Golden Wheel in her hands. She could feel the restless Earthly Dao settling down.

In just an instant, her strength surged by a tenth.

If she could completely merge with the Earthly Dao, she would have absolute confidence in challenging Old Ancestor Hongjun.

At the very least, she wouldn't disappoint Ye Changqing, who had entrusted everything to her.

From that moment on, she was truly bound to the Interception Sect.

Ye Changqing, who had been smiling just moments earlier, suddenly weakened. He violently spat out a mouthful of blood.

In the blink of an eye, he had become a frail old man, as if his life force had been completely spent.

"Senior Disciple Brother!"

San Xiao and Zhao Gongming hurried forward to check his injuries, but he waved them away.

This was only the backlash from using the Great Dao Will once again earlier.

It had further worsened his already meager lifespan.

He had no choice but to hurry up with the funeral preparations.

"Just now, I suddenly gained a new insight!"

Ye Changqing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes shone brightly.

He looked at the people beside him, their faces full of concern, and asked, "Do you know about Mythical Great Luo?"

Mythical Great Luo?

San Xiao scratched their heads. They didn't seem to know.

Zhao Gongming furrowed his brows and racked his brain, but came up with nothing.

Even someone as powerful as Empress Pingxin had never heard of Mythical Great Luo.

"Senior Disciple Brother, how is this Mythical Great Luo you speak of different from the Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial World?"

This time, curious little Bixiao was the one who asked.

Ye Changqing smiled disdainfully. "Forget the Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Primordial World. Even Sages are like ants before Mythical Great Luo!"

Even Sages were like ants?

Zhao Gongming and the others were utterly shocked!

Empress Pingxin's battle with the Two Sages of the West had just shaken the heavens and earth. They had seemed capable of destroying the entire Primordial World with a mere gesture.

It took the group a long while to recover. They drew in a deep breath. Senior Disciple Brother's knowledge went beyond anything they could ever imagine.

"Then how does Mythical Great Luo compare to the Hongmeng Divine Race?"

Zhao Gongming immediately asked.

In his eyes, the beings of the Primordial World were already the highest level of power he could imagine.

Whenever he thought of a world filled with billions of beings like Great God Pangu, he found it terrifying.

"The Hongmeng Divine Race are also ants in the eyes of Mythical Great Luo!"

"Although the beings of the Primordial World are powerful, they still exist beneath the Great Dao."

Ye Changqing answered with a smile.

Empress Pingxin drew in a sharp breath. Did Ye Changqing mean that Mythical Great Luo stood above the Great Dao?

She could hardly imagine what a Great Dao Sage would be like.

"Mythical Great Luo are born as Mythical Great Luo and dwell above the Mythical Great Luo Heaven."

"From birth, Mythical Great Luo stand above the Great Dao. No, I should say they stand above the Dao itself!"

"With a single thought, they can create the Three Thousand Great Daos and Three Thousand Primordial Worlds."

"Mythical Great Luo transcend the River of Time, are immortal and indestructible, and rule over all time and space!"

Ye Changqing spoke at length, every sentence striking at their hearts.

Grand Luo Golden Immortals were as common as dogs in the Primordial World. The slightest misstep could get them killed in a calamity.

With power like that, they weren't even fit to tie a Mythical Great Luo's shoes.

"I wonder what connection Senior Disciple Brother has to Mythical Great Luo?"

San Xiao all had the same thought.

Ye Changqing looked at them as they recovered, their faces full of shock. "Just now, I suddenly gained an insight. I'm nothing more than a projection of Mythical Great Luo!"

Their bodies all shook at once. They hadn't expected Ye Changqing to have such an identity.

If just a projection could achieve the Primordial Unity, how terrifying must his true self be?

"Senior Disciple Brother, can't you contact your true self and have him heal your injuries?"

Yunxiao thought it over again and again before finally asking.

Ye Changqing shook his head. "My true self has lived through an immense span of time and has now fallen asleep."

"Every time he wakes, countless eons have already passed..."

Empress Pingxin shuddered. If the Mythical Great Luo Ye Changqing spoke of could reverse time and space, could he perhaps resurrect her siblings and the Witch Race warriors who had died in the Witch-Demon War?

Seeing her excitement, Ye Changqing immediately guessed what she was thinking and reassured her.

"Mythical Great Luo do indeed have the means to resurrect people!"

A glimmer of hope lit in Empress Pingxin's heart. She solemnly bowed to him.

Ordinarily, no living being in the world could withstand a Sage's bow, but Ye Changqing was an exception.

Empress Pingxin looked at Ye Changqing and thought, if she ever got the chance, she wanted to leave the Primordial World and see the place he had described.

It must be wonderful there!

"Ding! Congratulations, host! The mysterious past of the Mythical Great Luo Projection you created has been established. Everything will become true after the host's death!"

"Reward: Nine Heavens Divine Dragons ×9, Pangu's Blood Essence ×11."

The system's notification suddenly sounded in Ye Changqing's mind. This meant Empress Pingxin had completely believed what he'd said.

The Nine Heavens Divine Dragons were not beings of the Primordial World, nor were they products of the Shrouding the Heavens World.

Each dragon possessed the strength of a Sage and had been refined into a mount.

Strictly speaking, they were already dead. They would be perfect for pulling the Primordial Chaos Burying Heaven Coffin, which he had been rewarded earlier, to carry him to his funeral.
