It has to be said that this is extremely ironic. In the Primordial World opened up by Great God Pangu, no living being other than the Witch Clan hopes for Pangu's successful resurrection and return.
It's like an emperor who can tolerate corrupt officials, tolerate the division of feudal lords, and tolerate natural and man-made disasters, but cannot tolerate having a Supreme Emperor who controls everything above him.
The Supreme Emperor is something that can only be enshrined in the ancestral temple and cannot appear in reality.
"Since you and I have both seen it, it means that the collapse of Buzhou Mountain and the Mystic Tortoise's Four Legs being refined into new Pillars of Heaven are very likely to become reality in the future!"
"The Great Trend of the Heavenly Dao is what the people want!"
"When the Primordial World was first opened, the Fierce Beasts transformed from the resentment of the Chaos Demon Gods wreaked havoc, and then the Innate Divine Beings and the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans were born in response!"
"During the Dragon-Han Calamity, the struggle between the three clans affected countless living beings, and then Luohu refined the Immortal Slaying Formation Diagram, burying the ambitions of the three clans!"
"And when Luohu intended to Reverse Refine the Great Desolation, Dao Ancestor Hongjun Restored Order, became a Heavenly Dao Saint, opened up the Immortal Path, and re-established Order for the Primordial World!"
"The current Witch-Demon Conflict is also the same. Since the beings of the Great Desolation do not want Pangu to return, they need a great battle to erase the marks he left behind!"
"Buzhou Mountain and the Witch Clan are all closely related to Pangu!"
Zhi Ming spoke to himself, a trace of sorrow appearing in his eyes. The North Sea is lonely, and for hundreds of millions of years, only Yu Jiang and the Mystic Tortoise could be considered his Fellow Daoists.
Under the crushing of the Great Trend, Yu Jiang has already fallen, and now, the Mystic Tortoise is also about to follow in his footsteps.
"Senior!"
Seeing this, Xuan Qing cautiously said, "Since the small trends can be changed, why don't you persuade Senior Mystic Tortoise to voluntarily offer his four legs?"
"It's not that easy!" Zhi Ming shook his head. "The Mystic Tortoise's strength comes from his massive body. Would you be willing to give up your Cultivation?"
Xuan Qing thought for a moment and said solemnly, "Normally, I wouldn't be willing, but if it were a matter of life and death, what would Cultivation matter?"
As long as the green hills remain, there's no need to worry about firewood. If Cultivation is gone, just cultivate it back!
"I will try to persuade the Mystic Tortoise!" After thinking about it, Zhi Ming added, "Of course, provided that the scene you and I saw becomes reality!"
"As for now..."
"Let's first imprint the Dao essence of these Spiritual Treasures into your Spiritual Platform!"
"After doing this, let's discuss the Innate Eight Trigrams. This seat also wants to see what mysteries there are in the Great Dao you have comprehended!"
Xuan Qing naturally wouldn't refuse.
Under Zhi Ming's operation, in just an instant, the Dao essence of hundreds of Innate Spiritual Treasures transformed into streams of light, imprinting themselves into Xuan Qing's Spiritual Platform.
Mysterious Origin Water Control Banner, Myriad Tribulation Chessboard, Northern Black Chi Gun Horn Demon-Slaying Sword, Auspicious Virtue Ruyi...
Various colors of Dao essence intertwined, and one Spiritual Treasure after another erupted with brilliant light.
Afterward, at Zhi Ming's request, Xuan Qing began to expound on the "Innate Eight Trigrams," while Zhi Ming also used his own Dao Body to evolve the mysteries of the Yin-Yang Dao.
Xuan Qing's understanding of the Great Dao was limited, and he couldn't say much, but Zhi Ming seemed to be the embodiment of the Yin-Yang origin, explaining the Great Dao of Innate Yin-Yang to the fullest extent.
"This..."
Xuan Qing was shocked.
But Zhi Ming had a calm expression: "Pangu undergoes nine transformations in a day, becoming divine with the heavens and sacred with the earth. This body of mine is one of those transformations. In a sense, it can also be considered a Near-Dao Body!"
"Near-Dao Body?"
Xuan Qing was somewhat puzzled.
Moreover, this was the first time he had heard of Pangu undergoing nine transformations in a day!
Hearing this, Zhi Ming couldn't help but laugh: "As everyone knows, Pangu was conceived from the Chaos Green Lotus, but his birth was not achieved overnight. You can think of it as 'Cicada Molting' or 'Phoenix Nirvana.' With each transformation, Pangu's aura would become stronger!"
"Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, Qilin, Golden Crow, Kunpeng, and Primordial Lion are all Near-Dao Bodies, each corresponding to one of Pangu's transformations!"
"And this transformation allows us to get closer to the Great Dao, making Cultivation twice as effective with half the effort!"
Xuan Qing seemed to understand, but then frowned and said, "Isn't that only eight transformations?"
"Have you forgotten yourself?" Zhi Ming glared at Xuan Qing in annoyance. "When Nuwa created Ren, she referenced Pangu's last transformation, which is the Innate Dao Body chosen by many Primordial beings during Form Transformation!"
"So that's how it is!"
Xuan Qing suddenly understood: "No wonder, whether it's the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan, or the Dragon Clan, they all walk the Great Desolation in the state of their Innate Dao Bodies, and rarely reveal their true forms except during battles!"
Each of Pangu's Nine Transformations corresponds to a Dao Body with its own unique characteristics. For example, Zhi Ming's Black Tortoise Dao Body, with a tortoise and a snake, perfectly aligns with the Great Dao of Yin-Yang.
Azure Dragon Mengzhang is close to the Dao of Creation, the Essence of Wood is endlessly vibrant and natural, and every move is a manifestation of the Laws of Creation.
As for the Vermillion Bird, Jian Bing, Primordial Lion, and other Dao Bodies, Xuan Qing had never observed them up close, so he didn't know which Great Dao they corresponded to.
Observing the Dao Bodies of these individuals is equivalent to directly gazing at the Great Dao. If one calms down and earnestly comprehends them, there might be unexpected gains!
Yin-Yang gives birth to Four Symbols, and Four Symbols give birth to Eight Trigrams. "Innate Yin-Yang" and "Innate Eight Trigrams" complement each other. Observing Zhi Ming's Dao Body up close is naturally beneficial. Between the birth and death of Yin-Yang, Xuan Qing refined the "Essence of Gui Water," and his understanding of the "Innate Way of Change" also rapidly increased.
Water generates wood. "Essence of Gui Water" and "Essence of Wood" can be said to be perfectly matched. After refining them, the power of the Forge of Creation also increased slightly.
While Xuan Qing and Zhi Ming were discussing the Great Dao, Hong Yun, who had just left Wuzhuang Temple, was ambushed by Kunpeng, Styx, and several other top-tier powerhouses.
In fact, Hong Yun was targeted as soon as he left Wuzhuang Temple, but to avoid confronting Zhen Yuanzi, they didn't choose to attack immediately.
Kunpeng looked at Hong Yun fiercely: "If it weren't for you, how could this seat have missed the opportunity to become a Saint? Hong Yun, you should obediently hand over the Primordial Violet Qi! If this seat is happy, I might spare your life!"
"Hahaha!"
Old Ancestor Minghe then laughed, "The Primordial Violet Qi goes to those who are fated! Kunpeng, you might as well save your breath! It's better to kill Hong Yun first, and then we can have another round to decide who the Primordial Violet Qi belongs to!"
This time, he was determined to win and must seize the Primordial Violet Qi!
Kunpeng couldn't help but feel a pang of fear upon seeing this. In terms of strength, Old Ancestor Minghe, who had the merit of creating the Asura Clan and the Asura Religion, was indeed a notch above him. In a one-on-one fight, he was definitely not his opponent.
What's more, the other party also had supreme treasures of slaughter like the "Yuantu and Abi Twin Swords" and defensive treasures like the "Twelve-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus."
Just as he was panicking, Di Jun's voice suddenly rang out from the sky: "Demon Master, do not fear! How dare a mere Styx provoke my Demon Clan's Demon Master?"
However, Kunpeng was not at all pleasantly surprised!
He didn't believe that Di Jun would give him such a chance to become a saint with the "Primordial Violet Qi"!
"Kill!"
He could only strike first, killing towards Hong Yun, hoping to seize the "Primordial Violet Qi," hoping to escape with his extreme speed after snatching the treasure.
In an instant, the celestial phenomena changed abruptly, and the astonishing killing intent stirred the void, causing it to tremble uneasily.
"My life is over!"
Seeing this situation, Hong Yun couldn't help but feel deeply desperate, revealing a sorrowful smile.
