Transcending the River of Destiny

Purple Sky Palace!

As everyone's thoughts gradually returned to normal, Hongjun stopped talking about anything else related to Shen Ni. However, everyone understood that Shen Ni would eventually return to the Primordial Wilderness, perhaps during the next Great Tribulation, or perhaps Immeasurable Calamity.

"The matter of the Shen Ni ends here. I'm telling you this today to prepare you, so you won't end up like Taiyi, becoming a vessel for the path of destruction, ultimately turning to ashes, which is quite regrettable."

"I will humbly follow the teachings of my master/teacher!"

Hongjun glanced at Nuwa and Donghua, pointed his finger, and a sealed goddess appeared in the Purple Sky Palace. She was the creator god of the Western God Realm that Nuwa and Donghua had suppressed.

All eyes were fixed on the Creator God, who released the Great Dao Power and began to explore what was going on.

Nuwa and Donghua then began to recount the situation in the Western God Realm.

"That world is a world where people cultivate the Divine Dao, and that's how it is. Nuwa and I dare not stay any longer and can only return to the Primordial Wilderness. Moreover, the strength of the Primordial Wilderness World will hardly be able to contend with that world in the short term."

After Donghua and Nuwa finished their speeches, everyone remained lost in thought, especially the Three Pure Ones, whose faces were filled with resentment and frustration. Truly, being one step behind meant being behind at every step. They hadn't expected that Donghua and Nuwa had already stepped into the Chaos Realm and were wandering in a completely new world.

Everyone felt not only joy, but also pressure, endless pressure.

They were already no match for Donghua and the Three Pure Ones in the Primordial Wilderness, but now they discovered that there were other worlds in the chaos, and that there were even seven Hun Yuan there.

Although they felt the pressure, they were even more overjoyed, because they saw the hope of proving their Dao. As long as they could conquer that world and increase the origin of the Primordial World, more Hun Yuan Chaos worlds could be born.

And whose hopes are greatest? Aren't they these guests of the Purple Sky Palace? In terms of background and cultivation, they are already at the pinnacle of the Primordial World.

Of course, some abnormal individuals are excluded!

As long as we don't fight with those people, everything will be fine.

Hongjun smiled and looked at everyone, asking, "Do you have any ideas about this world?"

Taishang: "Master, I feel we must take it. The struggle for the Great Dao is no ordinary matter; if we don't advance, we'll retreat!"

Yuanshi: "If Heaven bestows something and you do not take it, you will suffer harm!"

Tongtian: "Kill!"

Jieyin, "According to Senior Brother Donghua, the beings in that world are still suffering in a sea of misery and need our help to save them."

"..."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and all of them were supportive, after all, such an opportunity was extremely rare.

Hongjun said, "Since everyone agrees on this matter, let's settle on this. We'll wait for the right opportunity to conquer the Western God Realm, and then we can coordinate all the beings of the Primordial Wilderness world."

"Yes, Master/Teacher!"

Taishang at Donghua and asked, "Junior Brother Donghua, how long do you think it will take us to catch up with that world and integrate it into the Primordial Wilderness?"

Donghua thought for a moment and said, "The Hun Yuan of that world is born as Hun Yuan. Although their cultivation level is high in the early stages, their growth potential in the later stages is average. Surpassing them is only a matter of time, but it's really hard to say exactly when."

Tongtian hurriedly asked, "Junior Brother Donghua, did you also obtain that treasure from that world?"

Even now, Tongtian still can't forget about the Innate Purple Qi and the Chaos Source Qi, which shows that he is very obsessed with the Immortal Slaying Four Swords being upgraded to Innate Supreme Treasure.

However, Tongtian was met with Donghua shaking his head, which was not the answer he had imagined, and he was quite disappointed.

Seeing that no one had any further questions, Hongjun dismissed everyone except Donghua, the Three Pure Ones, and the other four. He then said, "The matter of the Shen Ni is of great importance, so it cannot be told to everyone. Only the seven of you can bear this karmic consequence."

"In fact, the World-Destroying Power is indeed as you think; it hasn't reached the time to be born yet. The reason it appeared at the very beginning of creation is because of Pangu!"

"Pangu?" Donghua and the others exclaimed in unison. This answer was truly unexpected. After all, if Pangu created the world, why would he need the World-Destroying Power the world to emerge prematurely? It just didn't make sense, since he didn't even allow the Heavenly Dao to emerge ahead of time.

Hongjun said solemnly, "That's right, it is Pangu, or you could say it's not Pangu, because it's just a trace of Pangu's unwillingness to accept defeat."

"Pangu's birth was the Great Dao, and his mission was to create the world. After creating the world, his mission was completed, and he naturally had to transform into myriad paths and return to the Great Dao. However, after creating the world, a wisp of his Divine Sense was tainted by the power of heaven and earth, and he could never return to the purity that was once like the Great Dao."

"After a trace of resentment arose in the Divine Sense consciousness, it had to remain between heaven and earth. This is why Shen Ni and the later Fierce Beasts clan came into being. Shen Ni's true identity is a wisp of Pangu's Divine Sense combined with the World-Destroying Power."

Yuanshi asked incredulously, "Master, are you saying that Shen Ni's true consciousness is Father God Pangu? How is that possible? With Father God's Dao Realm, who could resist him from the moment he was born? How could he do such a thing?"

Hongjun shook his head and said, "Shen Ni is not Pangu, but only a wisp of Divine Sense. Moreover, it was born when Pangu was about to transform into all things and return to the Great Dao. Therefore, even Pangu himself did not realize that such a wisp of Divine Sense had actually given birth to its own will, thus prematurely triggering the World-Destroying Power."

The group still found it hard to believe, even Donghua himself was somewhat skeptical. After all, once they truly knew Pangu's power, who would dare to believe such a thing?

But Hongjun couldn't possibly lie to them about such a momentous event, nor could he possibly lie to them, so it must be true!

Donghua carefully recalled the scenes of his battle and conversation with Shen Ni, trying to discern something from them, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't connect it to Pangu.

His gaze flickered slightly towards Nuwa to the side. Their eyes met for a fleeting moment, but neither of them spoke. They simply nodded slightly before looking away.

Ever since they began cultivating the Great Dao Dual Cultivation in the Chaos, the two have felt a deep connection.

Donghua didn't ask Hongjun any more questions, since there wasn't much left to ask. In fact, Shen Ni was a wisp of Pangu's Divine Sense was not important.

The most important thing is the power of the origin of destruction, and the Immeasurable Calamity; these are what he is most concerned about.

So don't say that Shen Ni is just a wisp of Divine Sense. Even if he were really Pangu, that's all there is to it. After all, he would have to face it sooner or later.

After the seven left Purple Sky Palace, they went their separate ways. The Three Pure Ones returned to Kunlun Mountain together, while Jieyin and Zhunti returned to the Western Region, Nuwa went directly to Taisu Heaven.

Donghua emerged from the chaos and gazed upon the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heaven Realm from the Nine Heavens. He never expected that Dijiang would have such audacity to dare to occupy the Heaven Realm at this time.

But it doesn't matter anymore, they'll be here soon!

Donghua didn't linger and headed straight for the Purple Mansion in the East Sea; he was now eager to return home.

After all, the West Queen Mother is about to become pregnant and give birth, which is a big deal, Donghua is looking forward to it.

Whether in this life or the Previous Life, these are his first children, and his excitement is beyond words.

When Donghua descended upon the Purple Mansion, the West Queen Mother was atop the Suspended Peak, as if waiting for his return.

Donghua landed beside the West Queen Mother and gently embraced her. Neither of them spoke; the joy of their long-awaited reunion flowed through their hearts, and they simply wanted to quietly savor this precious moment.

"Junior sister, you've worked hard these past few days." Donghua gently stroked West Queen Mother's hair, then placed his hand on her belly, feeling the fetal movements inside. He could clearly sense that a life had been conceived and was about to be born.

The West Queen Mother wore a white dress, and her lower abdomen was slightly protruding, making her look nothing like someone who was about to give birth.

She gently grasped Donghua's mischievous hand and said calmly, "Do we need to say these things between us? It's just that because of this child, my cultivation has been delayed again, and I haven't been able to break through to the Peak Quasi-Saint."

Donghua took West Queen Mother's hand, and the two strolled on the Azure Sea and the East Sea, feeling the beauty of the tranquility of heaven and earth.

"That's alright. You gained some opportunities during this trip, which can make up for the loss of your vital essence in conceiving a child. It won't affect your cultivation breakthrough."

The two chatted and laughed, recounting their longing for each other after being separated for so long. Their figures stretched long across the horizon, eventually meeting the sky, as if they were eternal, their silhouettes frozen in that moment.

A hundred years have passed in a flash. During this time, Donghua's mind was entirely focused on the West Queen Mother and his unborn child, as well as some trivial matters in the Purple Mansion. He had truly taken charge of the daily affairs of the Purple Mansion.

Because the Great Commander of Fate and several other Purple Mansion Emperor Lord are all in seclusion, digesting the surge in the Purple Mansion's fortune, their cultivation is expected to break through, but it is unknown whether they can break through to the Mid Quasi-Saint.

However, Donghua still had high expectations for Great Commander of Fate, Haotian, and Lord of the Clouds, feeling that these three had a high probability of breaking through, especially Haotian, whose cultivation had recently progressed by leaps and bounds.

Especially after being reincarnated in Yaochi, he devoted himself to cultivation, and his talent for cultivation was fully revealed, instantly surpassing many people. However, he also became taciturn and looked majestic, somewhat resembling the future Haotian Shangdi.

Unfortunately, he no longer has the chance to become the Heavenly Emperor. He can only serve as his subordinate, becoming an Emperor Lord or a Great Emperor, depending on his cultivation level.

In fact, the Purple Mansion had already made preparations to unify the world during this Yuanhui, but the sudden influx of a large number of demons delayed the overall pace, and everyone was quickly digesting these new forces.

The entire eastern and southern parts of the Primordial Wilderness began to operate like a tightly wound machine. Apart from forming a separate army of 500,000, the newly incorporated demon army was dispersed to various places and departments, so it was necessary to readjust and reorganize.

The newly formed demon army was placed under Fuxi's command by Donghua, and the Demon Saint Fei Dan was the nominal commander.

The addition of these demon races also brought many new ideas to the Purple Mansion, especially in military formations, which further enhanced the Purple Mansion's strength.

Donghua patiently handled all matters in the Purple Mansion, including troop mobilization, resource allocation, and the Purple Mansion's grand competition was about to begin again.

However, after the first one, the Purple Mansion Grand Competition canceled the battle of Quasi-Saint. After all, these were people in high positions, and there was no need to compare them again and again. One time was enough.

Therefore, the highest level of battle is the Grand Unity Battle, and such a great competition is held once every Yuan Hui, which is once every 100,000 years.

This is quite frequent, considering that in the Primordial Wilderness, the duration of a single cycle is not very long.

At this moment, Donghua was handling matters of the Purple Mansion in the Jingyang Palace when Randeng walked in.

"Randeng pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Donghua put down his imperial brush, looked up and asked, "No need for formalities. May I ask what brings you here?"

A smile appeared on Randeng's face as he said happily, "Your Majesty, I have reached the peak of the Grand Unity and am now striving to open up the Twenty-Four Heavens and achieve the rank of Quasi-Saint. I have come to seek Your Majesty's assistance."

Upon hearing Donghua, Donghua's Dharma Eye swept over Randeng, Randeng's situation clearly appeared before his eyes, even the Great Dao was no exception. However, what he did not expect was that Randeng still walked the Great Dao of Annihilation.

However, this path is indeed suitable for him, after all, his true form is the first coffin in the world, and his accompanying spiritual treasure is the Man Lamp.

Donghua praised, "Not bad, it's faster than I expected. It's truly remarkable that you were able to break through to the peak of the Grand Unity in the first Yuanhui. It shows that you've been focused on cultivation during this time, and there must be other opportunities as well."

If Randeng could break through to Quasi-Saint at this time, he would be much stronger than in the original trajectory. You should know that Randeng only became a Quasi-Saint during the Investiture of the Investiture of the Gods, and should be the last of the Three Thousand Guests of Zixiao Palace to achieve the Quasi-Saint.

However, he had great potential. After breaking through to the Quasi-Saint, his cultivation progressed even faster. He broke through several levels in succession until he finally became the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Buddhism, the Past Buddha.

It's likely that Randeng was at the Mid Quasi-Saint or Late Stage Quasi-Saint level at that time, truly a case of a latecomer surpassing his predecessor.

Among the four major religions of later generations, only Duobao, Nanji, and Xuandu could rival this level of cultivation; the rest were not worth mentioning.

Donghua stood up, grabbed Randeng, and entered the River of Time. Since Randeng was about to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm, it was time to remove the seal on his memories.

In the River of Time, Donghua, carrying Randeng, travels through the past, extracting the sealed memories from the river, and with a single finger, restores all those fragments.

Randeng Deng understood immediately, releasing the Great Dao of Annihilation. The Universe Ruler and the Twenty-Four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls appeared in his hand, and the Man Lamp floated above his head, Netherworld Ghost Fire burned the long river.

Figures from the past, present, and future gradually converge on the Randeng, representing different dimensions of time, all the heavens and all elements, all laws returning to one.

The Great Dao Power of Randeng is also rapidly changing, with the Great Dao of Annihilation running through the long river.

As the figures merged into one, Randeng's aura reached its peak, just one step away from breaking through to the Quasi-Saint realm.

Now all that's missing is to use the Sea Calming Divine Beads to open up the heavens, but that's not a difficult thing, because all the Randeng have already been met.

However, at this critical juncture of his breakthrough, Randeng stopped and did not open up the heavens to achieve the status of Quasi-Saint.

"Randeng, why have you stopped?"

Randeng said apologetically, "Your Majesty, the Grand Competition of the Purple Mansion is approaching. I want to win first place and have my name prominently displayed at the top of the Golden List before breaking through to Quasi-Saint. After all, this may be my last time participating in the Grand Competition!"

Donghua laughed heartily, never expecting that the reason for Randeng would be so bizarre, that he cared so much about the ranking on the Golden List. It seemed that he had underestimated the influence of the Golden List.

Even someone as dedicated to the Dao as Randeng (a shameless person) cares so much about his ranking on the Golden List. It seems others are not as concerned about Randeng as he is. It looks like he needs to seriously reconsider the Purple Mansion Grand Competition.

His impulsive act at the time unexpectedly had such a huge impact.

"Since that's what you think, then prepare well, and I hope you can get first place!"

After Donghua finished speaking, he asked with a smile, "Are there any Heavenly Pride talents in the Grand Unity Realm in the Purple Mansion now?"

After thinking for a moment, Randeng said, "Your Majesty, there are indeed a few people who, even with my current cultivation level, I wouldn't dare say I'm absolutely certain of victory."

"First of all is His Majesty's protector, Qianyu. Although his cultivation level is locked at the Grand Unity and it will be difficult for him to break through to the Quasi-Saint, his strength is becoming more and more terrifying. I really don't have the confidence to defeat him!"

"The Dragon Clan had a Celestial Dragon who inherited the Heavenly Dragon Clan after the Heavenly Dragon Ancestor died in battle. He was at the peak of the Grand Unity realm and possessed a terrifying physical body."

"Emperor Shi of the Kirin Clan is the biological son of the Qilin Ancestor. He is at the peak of the Grand Unity and his strength is terrifying."

He didn't mention the other Grand Unity Randeng again, presumably because they weren't even of interest to him.

Donghua also knew about the three people Randeng mentioned. He felt that the most regrettable one was Qianyu. He never expected that the guy would ruin his future in order to improve his strength, merging himself with the One Yuan Heavy Water and cutting off his path to Quasi-Saint. However, his strength was also significantly improved, and his combat power was unparalleled.

After the two left the River of Time, Donghua stopped dealing with affairs and chatted idly with Randeng in the Jingyang Palace, mainly gossiping about some trivial matters in the Purple Mansion.

Anyone who didn't know the situation would think the two were discussing something important.

In the Jingyang Palace, Donghua sat atop the Pure World White Lotus, with the River of Time and the River of Destiny appearing around him.

Good and evil are represented by three bodies, arranged in the Three Talents realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and also represent the Immortal, God, and Demon Paths in Donghua.

The Good Corpse Yuanyang, is the Divine Dao.

The Evil Corpse Jingyang represents the Devil Dao.

The Attachment Corpse, Chunyang, represents the Immortal Dao.

However, the only drawback is that the Jingyang Bell is only High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, which is far inferior to the other two spiritual treasures.

Although Slaying the Corpse was the best choice for Donghua at the time and would not affect the advancement of the Evil Corpse itself, imperfection is still imperfection.

At this moment, Donghua's figure manifests in the River of Time and the River of Destiny, existing in the past, existing in the present, and existing in the future.

In different dimensions of time, in all the heavens and realms, there is the sacred and majestic figure of Donghua.

Three Thousand Great Daos swirled around him, and endless Great Dao Power surged within the Jingyang Palace. The sacred power of the rules formed a giant eye, a golden vertical pupil.

Since his Dual Cultivation with Nuwa, Donghua's cultivation of the Great Dao has reached a terrifying level, and this Eye of the Great Dao is formed by using the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos transformed into rules.

Specifically, it is based on the Heavenly Dao Eye!

This is a level of understanding attained within the Saint Nuwa's realm, and also an application of the power of rules.

Donghua's figure reappeared on the River of Destiny, but the surging River of Destiny did not stir up a single ripple beneath Donghua feet, as if it were an ordinary river.

Step by step, Donghua once again arrives at the other side of the River of Destiny, where an invisible chasm exists. Only by crossing it can one achieve true transcendence.

Donghua's goal this time is to completely transcend the River of Destiny and escape the destiny of the Primordial Wilderness. This is also to prepare for the unification of the Primordial Wilderness, and he wants to ensure that the unification will be foolproof.

Although the Witch Clan is not as powerful as Taiyi of the Demon Clan, Donghua is far more wary of them than of the Demon Clan. After all, the Twelve Ancestor Witches are Pangu's own sons, and who knows what special methods they might have.

The most important thing is that he must ensure that his path to enlightenment is free of any unexpected events, because he only has one chance, and once he fails, it will be difficult to succeed again.

Standing atop the River of Destiny, Donghua began to slowly accumulate power before facing that insurmountable chasm of fate.

The six Great Daos of Pure Yang, Supreme Yang, Lesser Yang, Pure Yin, Supreme Yin, and Lesser Yin first emerged, began to overlap with each other, and eventually formed the Yin-Yang Great Dao of Donghua.

Subsequently, the Five Elements Great Dao manifested, with the forces of Metal Wood Water Fire Earth, fire, and Five Elements interacting and restraining each other, colliding and merging with the Yin-Yang Dao.

One by one, the great principles of time, space, creation, and cause and effect emerged, and a world composed of the Great Dao Rules gradually appeared around Donghua.

Above the world of rules, three more figures gradually emerged, namely the Immortal, God, and Demon Paths, and demons, also known as the three corpses of good and evil.

The three paths exist independently above the world, yet are closely intertwined with it, infusing the world of rules with a soul.

When the dust settled, Donghua stood at the center of the world, Emperor Dao Power spread out, instantly covering every corner of the world.

The path to imperial power is itself!

Rule all paths with the way of the emperor!

The Emperor's Way is everything!

To transcend the River of Destiny, one must sever oneself, sever all thoughts, both tangible and intangible, and discard everything, thereby achieving the Great Dao and becoming one with the Great Dao.

Reaching the realm of infinity, Wuji, and limitlessness, one can attain true supremacy, becoming Immortal and Undying.

Heaven and earth may perish, but I will not!

Heaven and earth may perish, but I will not!

This is transcendence, this is Hun Yuan!

However, due to the limitations of his own practice of the Great Dao, Donghua is temporarily unable to break through the Hunyuan Realm. Therefore, if he wants to transcend, he must use the power of the Dao to break the shackles, Heaven Breaker, and cross the other shore to achieve transcendence.

When the Emperor Dao Power permeated every corner of the world of rules, Donghua suddenly opened his eyes.

He has accumulated all the power of the Great Dao; whether he can break through the shackles and insurmountable barrier depends on this one strike.

Success! Transcending the Primordial Wilderness destiny!

If defeated, continue to endure the hardships of the Primordial Wilderness, waiting for the time to attain enlightenment and then transcend.

The golden realm of rules stands within the River of Destiny, its power gradually manifesting into a long sword, where endless Dao Law Power converges.

A sword strike!

It was as if heaven and earth had been opened anew.

The immense Great Dao Power clashed violently with the River of Destiny, and the power of Destiny continuously impacted the world of rules in Donghua.

However, all the erosive force was blocked by the world, and it could not affect Donghua in the slightest.

Donghua focused his mind and unleashed another sword strike!

A crisp sound rang out in the River of Destiny, as if something had shattered.

Upon hearing this sound, Donghua suppressed his joy and, carrying the Realm of Rules, rushed towards the source of the sound.

The entire realm of rules collided with that insurmountable chasm.

"Buzz!"

Great sound!

It was as if nothing had happened, yet it was also as if everything had happened.

Because at this moment, Donghua had already stepped outside the River of Destiny!
