The End of the Matter! Donghua's Might Is Beyond Doubt
In the human tribe, Chang'e took one last reluctant look at her home, then looked down at the earth where Houyi was directing the army.
Memories from both lifetimes kept surfacing, especially those from her Previous Life Chang Xi.
The River of Time and Space appeared, Chang'e stepped into it, standing on the River of Time and Space. The Moon Great Dao transformed into a vast Dharma image, forming a full moon behind her, with the Daoist aura flowing endlessly.
Suddenly, countless figures rushed in from all directions of the River of Time and Space, each figure a trace of Chang'e's past timeline, and also a former figure of Chang Xi.
These figures exist in various timelines of the Primordial Wilderness, forming a perfect closure of past, present, and future. They can contain all beings with a single thought, or disperse into the long river of time with another.
This is Daluo Golden Immortal, immeasurable indeed!
Chang'e had only reached the Grand Unity level in her previous life in the Purple Mansion, but she was still far behind in other aspects such as the Great Dao. Later, she awakened her Previous Life memories in the Kunlun Mirror. Now, after experiencing the River of Time and Space absorbing all her bodies, she has finally reached the Grand Unity Perfection realm.
This also signifies that she has accepted everything from her Previous Life, Moon Star has officially returned to her position.
At this moment, in the Starry Sky, the Moon Star radiated boundless power, causing the stars to shift and their brilliance to illuminate the heavens and the earth. The Moon Star the Moon instantly covered the light of all the stars.
A figure leaped up from the ground; it was Chang'e.
Just as Chang'e took flight, a full moon suddenly descended from the Starry Sky. With a casual gesture, Chang'e gently landed on the scimitar, as if standing on the moon!
Her white dress shimmered under the starlight, her bright eyes and white teeth, her fair skin and delicate bones, combined with her unparalleled beauty, made her absolutely stunning!
Chang'e rose from the moon and gradually merged with the Moon Star, which was her acceptance of the karmic order of heaven and earth.
Houyi was commanding his army on the ground, felt a jolt of fear upon seeing this scene.
"Chang'e? Chang Xi?"
He felt that the figure was his wife, Chang'e, but he couldn't make a judgment for the time being, so he immediately rushed home.
But the house was empty; only that letter lay forlornly on the table.
"Yi, this letter is as if I were seeing you in person... Do not come looking for me, our fate has run its course!"
After Houyi saw it, he realized that the figure ascending in the Sky Vault was none other than his wife, Chang'e.
"So Chang'e was actually Chang Xi! What a cruel twist of fate!"
In his previous life, Chang Xi died at his hands, but in this life, the two of them have become husband and wife.
Houyi looked at the letter in his hand. He knew that when Chang'e awakened her memories of her Previous Life, their fate had already come to an end.
But he was unwilling to accept it. He wanted to ask clearly in person. Even if it meant severing ties, he wanted to make things clear face to face. He couldn't let it end like this.
Chang'e, who was ascending to receive her destiny from heaven and earth, attracted the attention of both sides in the war.
Taiyi exclaimed in surprise, "Chang Xi, is that you?"
At this moment, Taiyi was very happy. Gone was his previous fierceness and ruthlessness; all that remained was joy.
Actually, it's not entirely Taiyi's fault. Since the last battle at the Purple Mansion, Xi He and Di Jun have perished, Kunpeng has returned to the North Sea and left the Heavenly Court, Fuxi has disappeared. In the vast Heavenly Court, only Taiyi remains. As for Bai Ze and the others, they don't count; they are just subordinates.
So Taiyi was really lonely. No one knew the pain in his heart. But when he saw Chang Xi reincarnated and returned, he could no longer control his joy.
"Brother Taiyi, it's been a long time!"
Chang'e looked at Taiyi, her voice sounding cold and aloof, but after speaking, she said nothing more, her mind completely immersed in the Moon Great Dao. She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to break through to the Quasi-Saint level in one fell swoop, but she didn't know if she could surpass her Previous Life.
The Moon Great Dao manifested in the Primordial Wilderness, Chang'e stepped into the River of Destiny, entering the realm of Quasi-Saint.
At this point, both sides stopped fighting. In fact, it was mainly because Taiyi stopped fighting, but both sides tacitly agreed to cease hostilities and cease combat.
Since neither side wanted to fight, Chang'e's appearance gave both sides an opportunity to cease hostilities.
"Dijiang, this matter is not over yet. We'll settle it another day!"
After Taiyi finished speaking, he put away the Chaos Bell and ascended into the Starry Sky with Chang'e, which could be considered as protecting Chang'e.
Watching the two leave, the eleven Ancestor Witch ended the operation of the Dutian Great Formation, but everyone's expression was solemn. Their realm was qualitatively different from Taiyi's. If they continued to fight, they would have to fight to the death to have any chance of winning.
" Under the Below Hunyuan, all are but ants!"
"Below the Saint, all are but ants!"
"Brothers, we must keep going!"
After speaking, Dijiang tore through space and left. He didn't want to waste any more time here, as he didn't have much time left for cultivation.
With Dijiang's departure, the other Ancestor Witch also left one after another; there was no longer anything for them to do here.
On Mount Tai, only Houtu and Xuan Ming remained standing. Xuan Ming suddenly spoke and asked:
"Sister Houtu, are you confident you can break through to the Quasi-Saint realm?"
Houtu didn't hesitate and said directly, "No, my true form has reached a bottleneck. The Dao of Earth and the Reincarnation Great Dao have been perfected. I don't know what to do next, and I have no clue how to break through to Quasi-Saint."
Houtu looked dejected, very dissatisfied with her current cultivation level. She had broken through to the Mid Quasi-Saint earlier than Donghua, but she had been stuck in the Late Stage Quasi-Saint for a long time and could not break through to the peak. Later, she had to Dual Cultivation with Donghua to break through the limitations of her true body.
"Should we practice Dual Cultivation again?"
This thought lingered in Houtu's mind, refusing to dissipate for a long time. However, she knew that she no longer had anything to attract Donghua. He had already comprehended the Great Dao of Reincarnation Great Dao, and perhaps his comprehension of the Great Dao had surpassed her own.
"What did you say Donghua and Nuwa did? They're both not in the Primordial Wilderness at this time. There must be something fishy about this," Houtu suddenly said.
Xuan Ming pondered for a moment and said, "The fact that they could leave the Primordial Wilderness at the same time must be the Dao Ancestor's intention. Otherwise, Donghua wouldn't have left so openly at this time. This is the guess of my eldest and second brothers."
Houtu pondered for a moment and agreed that it made sense. Now was the time for the three forces to compete, Donghua must have been fearless to leave at this time, otherwise he would never have abandoned the Purple Mansion and left the Primordial Wilderness.
Just as the two were talking, a red light shot into the sky, and Houyi, carrying his divine bow, was seen chasing after Chang'e at an incredible speed.
"Houyi, stop!"
Houtu seeing this, Houtu hurriedly shouted, and the power of time surged forth as she chased after Houyi. For at this moment, if Houyi went to find Chang'e, it would be tantamount to courting death, Taiyi would surely tear him apart.
Houyi charged forward with unstoppable speed, calling out, "Chang'e! Chang'e!"
However, at this moment, Chang'e's mind was completely immersed in the Great Dao, time and space, and the River of Destiny. She was fully accepting her Previous Life memories, and the Moon Great Dao was also reviving, and the positions of Heaven and Earth were being re-coalesced. Therefore, she was completely unaware of Houyi's actions and shouts.
However, Houyi's actions immediately caught Taiyi's attention. When he realized it was Houyi, he was overjoyed. It was truly remarkable.
"He courted death, truly getting it without any effort at all!"
After muttering a word, Taiyi immediately took action. The Sun and Moon Essence Wheel left his hand, and the Great Dao Power poured out. With the blessing of the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the two powers descended like the sun and moon. Taiyi was going all out.
Houyi had leaped up, had no time to react, and his mind was not on Taiyi. He was instantly struck by the Sun Essence Wheel, his body feeling as if it had been hit by a great sun. His tiny primordial spirit instantly dissipated, the Great Dao Power vanished, and the Turbid Qi of the earth returned to heaven and earth.
At this moment, the Moon Essence Wheel's attack arrived again. Taiyi was trying to annihilate Houyi, body and soul. If Houyi were hit by this attack, he wouldn't even have the chance to be reincarnated.
Fortunately, Houtu caught up with Houyi by then and blocked the attack for Houyi.
Houtu carried the injured Houyi back to Mount Tai. She was afraid that Taiyi move, as she was no match for Taiyi now.
After returning to Mount Tai, Houtu examined Houyi's injuries and found that his cultivation had been destroyed, his primordial spirit had dissipated, and only the innate power of the Great Dao Rules remained, keeping Houyi alive and preventing him from being completely annihilated, but he had no vitality left.
It's practically half-dead!
"How is Houyi? Can he be saved?" Xuan Ming asked anxiously. After all, Houyi was one of his own people and his subordinate. He had stayed in the Houtu Tribe to heal his wounds.
Houtu shook her head and sighed, "It's hopeless. He's on his last breath, beyond human control. How could he possibly withstand Taiyi's attack?"
"Even heroes can't resist the charms of Great Witch Clan died like this!"
Xuan Ming's expression was slightly sorrowful. The most talented Great Witch in the Witch Clan were three: Dayi, Xing Tian, and Jiu Feng. Now, the way Houyi died was truly a shame.
Chang'e, who was immersed in cultivation at this moment, was completely unaware of all this, because her cultivation had reached a critical moment. Her two lives had merged, and her cultivation had instantly reached the early stage of Quasi-Saint, and she had successfully severed one of her corpses.
However, Chang'e's cultivation did not stop. In her Previous Life, Chang Xi's cultivation was at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, just one step away from breaking through to the Mid Quasi-Saint. If it weren't for Dayi burning his essence blood and decisively shooting an arrow, Dayi would definitely be the one who died.
Now she wants to use the accumulation of her two lifetimes to break through to the Mid Quasi-Saint in one fell swoop.
The primordial power accumulated by the Moon Star over several eons continuously poured down upon Chang'e, along with countless Innate Spiritual Qi from heaven and earth, all of which were absorbed by Chang'e.
Her cultivation level has been steadily improving, progressing towards the Mid Quasi-Saint!
After bidding farewell to Bodhi Old Ancestor, Du continued his journey, encountering many dangers along the way. The most dangerous encounter was with a demon Great Luo Demon God, who had just slaughtered humans and was on his way to Longevity Mountain to find Taiyi.
Fortunately, he was granted the Great Dao Power by the Bodhi Old Ancestor, which frightened away that Demon God; otherwise, he would have died. However, the more he experienced, the more determined he became to seek a master and pursue the Dao.
"Only by becoming stronger can we change the fate of humanity and take control of our own destiny!"
As Du was moving forward, an old man followed him all the way. In fact, he was standing right next to Du, but Du did not feel anything and could not see the old man.
The old man was none other than the Taishang!
As he traveled, he became increasingly satisfied with "Du". He set many tests for him, all of which Du passed. The ideas and methods Du used were extremely in line with his own Daoist principles.
"The test is over, it's time for him to become an apprentice!"
The next moment, the figure of Taishang appeared in front of him and sat down on a rock.
"Du" was immediately shocked, because as a cultivator at the Taiyi Realm, he hadn't even noticed how the other party had appeared. But after thinking for a moment, he felt that his chance had come.
He immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply to the Taishang, and said, "This disciple of the human race is devoted to the Dao and wishes to study under a renowned master. I hope the senior will accept me and impart the Great Dao to me."
Taishang nodded, but did not agree. Instead, he asked, "Since you are so devoted to the Dao, what is the Dao?"
After a moment's thought, Du said, "I don't know what the Dao is. I only know that the path I walk is my Dao."
Taishang frowned and continued to ask, "What is the Dao?"
This time, the Taishang's question was exactly the same as before, leaving "Du" speechless. Had his answer dissatisfied the other party, leading to another chance?
After pondering for a while, reflecting on his reasons for pursuing strength, "Du" firmly replied, "The path I have walked is my path!"
After answering, "Du" looked at the Taishang without surprise or delight, his face expressionless, as if nothing could affect him.
After hearing Taishang, the Supreme Lord smiled. Although he was not entirely satisfied with the answer, he was quite pleased with the man's resolute character.
"I am the Taishang of the Three Pure Ones, the chief disciple of the Dao Ancestor, and the head of the Mystic Sect. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"
Upon hearing this, "Du" was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, bowing his head and saying, "Disciple is willing to pay respects to Master!"
The Taishang waved his whisk and gently helped him up, then said, "You are my eldest disciple, and also the second-generation senior brother of the Mystic Sect. Today, I will bestow upon you the Daoist name: Xuandu. Is that acceptable?"
"Disciple Xuandu is willing and thanks Master!"
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Taishang said "good" three times, and then continued, "Since you have become my disciple, today I will bestow upon you some protective treasures."
After saying that, he took out several Innate Spiritual Treasure and selected three of them to give to Xuandu.
These are the Top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Eight Views Eight Sceneries Palace Lamp and the Heaven and Earth Divine Mirror, High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Yin-Yang Bottle.
Xuandu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the three spiritual treasures after thanking the Taishang.
The Taishang spoke again, saying, "I have two wondrous techniques here. One is the Taiqing True Scripture that I cultivate, a technique that is enough to rank among the top three Primordial Wilderness techniques."
"As for the second cultivation method, it is the Golden Core Method I created when I was among the human race, also known as the Golden Core Great Dao. It is very suitable for human cultivation, but currently no one cultivates this method. If you choose it, you will be the first person to do so."
Taishang speaking, Taishang fell silent, leaving the choice to Xuandu.
Xuandu was also finding it difficult to make a choice. Could he say that he wanted both techniques?
As the Taishang Disciple, he absolutely had to cultivate the Great Dao of Taiqing; otherwise, what kind of Taishang Disciple would he be? But he also didn't want to give up the Great Dao of Golden Core.
After all, it concerns the human race. If I can cultivate to the Golden Core Dao, it will definitely save the human race a lot of time, since I have Taishang master like the Supreme One.
"This disciple wishes to cultivate entirely; is this permissible?"
Taishang said, "It's feasible, but you need to focus on one aspect. If you can combine the two at the Grand Unity realm and forge your own path, your future will be limitless. This is also the key to whether you can become Quasi-Saint."
"Disciple understands!"
Subsequently, Taishang taught Xuandu two cultivation methods and various supernatural powers.
"Let's go, come with me to pay your respects to your two senior uncles!"
Taishang stood up and spoke, then led Xuandu across time and space.
The situation in the Primordial Wilderness was unpredictable and perplexing. One moment Taiyi and the Witch Clan were locked in a fierce battle, and the next moment both sides stopped fighting, leaving many Great Powers in the Primordial Wilderness puzzled.
However, the demon race still completely surrounded Longevity Mountain. All the demon Demon Saint and Demon God of the demon race gathered here, waiting for Taiyi's return, so as to launch a final all-out attack and completely destroy Longevity Mountain.
"Brother Dao, we can't wait any longer. Taiyi is acting like a madman right now. I feel that if this continues, he might really disregard everything and break through the Earth Book's defenses."
Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi, with a worried expression, looked at Hong Yun and shared his thoughts.
"Brother Dao, if all else fails, just tell Taiyi that you have already handed over your Primordial Violet Qi to Donghua. Since you no longer possess the Primordial Violet Qi, I believe he will withdraw his troops."
"Anyway, with Fellow Daoist Donghua's cultivation level, Taiyi can't do anything to him!"
Hong Yun, who was opposite him, had lost his previous composure and was now solemn. Taiyi's determination had indeed surprised him.
Hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Hong Yun said bitterly, "It's no use. If I had told Taiyi about this before, he might have believed it. But now that I'm saying this, he definitely won't believe it, and it might even anger him and hasten his attack."
Zhen Yuanzi thought about it and realized that it did make sense, but the current situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable.
The Earth Fetal Membrane formed by the Earth Book is indeed important, but if Taiyi is not afraid of this immense karma and forcibly breaks it, then wouldn't they be helpless to surrender? They really can't defeat Taiyi.
Hong Yun thought for a moment and said, "Brother Dao, the only way now is to ask others for help so that Taiyi will withdraw his troops. Then we can wait for Donghua to arrive. I believe that with him, everything can be resolved."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded in agreement. He also supported this point. To lift the siege of Longevity Mountain, they had no choice but to seek help from others; otherwise, the two of them would certainly not be able to hold it.
He then spoke:
"Currently, only the Witch Clan and the Three Pure Ones can deal with Taiyi. As for the two from the Western Region, they are probably not enough. Moreover, even if Jieyin and Zhunti can deal with Taiyi, it would be difficult to persuade them to help. Those two are extremely cunning."
"As for the Witch Clan, we have no connection whatsoever, and they just fought with Taiyi, so it's practically impossible for them to intervene. Therefore, only the Three Pure Ones are left!"
Hong Yun chuckled softly and said slowly, "Brother, what you say is both right and wrong. There's indeed no hope for the Witch Clan, but we can still give those two in the Western Region a try. How about I contact those two in the Western Region, and you contact the Three Pure Ones? We can work together, what do you say?"
Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and said, "Good!"
After the two made their plan, they began to contact each other. Although Taiyi had sealed the space-time passage of Longevity Mountain, he could not seal the message. For Great Powers being in the Late Stage Quasi-Saint, transmitting this message was indeed a trivial matter.
Zhunti, who was in the Western Spirit Mountain, was the first to receive Hong Yun's distress message.
"Senior brother, should we lend a hand in the matter of Longevity Mountain? Now that Taiyi has broken through to Quasi-Saint, he is beyond our ability to defeat."
Jieyin his eyes slightly, lost in Great Dream of Three Thousand. At a certain moment, he suddenly opened his eyes and slowly said, "Whether we can win or not, we have to fight. When Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun repaired the Western Region Earth Vein, they ultimately incurred a debt of gratitude and karma."
Zhunti nodded and said, "Since Senior Brother has no objections, then I will send a message to Hong Yun, and the next time Taiyi makes a move, we will also make a move."
"Such a great act of kindness!"
"Good, good!"
The two chanted the scriptures simultaneously, and in an instant, boundless light filled the Spirit Mountain.
Meanwhile, in the East, Yuanshi also received a distress call from Zhen Yuanzi. Yes, it was Yuanshi!
Among the Three Pure Ones, Zhen Yuanzi and Yuanshi have the best relationship. The two met a long time ago, during the Ancient Dragon-Han Period.
"Third brother, now that I have received Fellow Zhen Yuanzi's distress message, I must take action this time. Now that eldest brother is not here, Kunlun Mountain is in your hands!"
Yuanshi finished speaking, he was about to set off for Longevity Mountain, but Tongtian stopped him.
"Second brother, Taiyi has already broken through to the Quasi-Saint. I'm worried about you going alone. Let's go together. Even if Taiyi has extraordinary abilities, what can he do?"
Tongtian's words were originally well-intentioned, but they were indeed difficult for the proud Yuanshi to accept.
Yuanshi was about to say something, a Purple Qi flew in from beyond the sky. As the Purple Qi fell, Taishang and Xuandu descended upon Kunlun Mountain.
Upon seeing this, the two instantly understood that the Taishang Being was not far from attaining enlightenment, but simply did not know how to put his Great Dao into practice.
"Congratulations, elder brother, on your great progress in cultivation! And you have gained a wonderful disciple!"
Taishang laughed heartily, bringing Xuandu before the two, but shook his head and sighed, "What is there to be happy about? Today, my cultivation has only just reached the level of Donghua in the past. I wonder what level Donghua has reached now?"
Yuanshi smiled and said, "I don't know what realm Donghua at, but he definitely hasn't Attain Hunyuan Dao. As long as the power of the Witch and Demon Realms remains unbroken, Donghua cannot attain the Dao. This is an ironclad law of the Great Dao, the destiny of the Emperor's Path, and no one can change it!"
Taishang and Tongtian nodded in agreement. They had also realized this, since Prove Dao by Force and through the Emperor's Way were the two most difficult paths to enlightenment.
To Prove Dao by Force means to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao with one's own Great Dao, to sever the Heavenly Dao's constraints on oneself, and to become a truly free person. However, this path is also a dead end.
The Heavenly Dao is incredibly powerful. Breaking Heavenly Dao shackles before attaining enlightenment is virtually impossible. However, after attaining enlightenment, Attain Sainthood by Force is still possible. Although difficult, it still offers hope.
As for proving one's Dao through the Emperor's Way in the Primordial Wilderness, it is an extremely difficult path. After all, you must subdue all forces, Tongtian with your own power, and achieve the true position of Heavenly Emperor!
Therefore, since the birth of the Primordial World, no one has been able to succeed, which is why the Innate Three Races and the witches and demons have been fighting to the death.
However, Donghua's appearance gave everyone hope again, the hope of Attain Hunyuan Dao through the Emperor's Way.
Tongtian spoke up, "Junior Brother Donghua's strength is beyond doubt. It is estimated that after his return this time, he will eliminate the power of the Lich King and unify the Primordial Wilderness!"
When Donghua was mentioned, the three fell silent again. He was someone they were reluctant to talk about, especially Yuanshi, who still couldn't forget Donghua's sword strike on Kunlun Mountain, the three thousand sword energies formed from the Three Thousand Great Daos.
