Attaining Daluo, the Rivers of Time and Destiny
Wu Chu, who was in a state of enlightenment, naturally did not feel the passage of time.
With Yibao's help, he spent tens of thousands of years comprehending the fundamental structure of the Five Elements Dao. Then, using his dantian as the foundation and the Golden Core as the material, he began to restructure the Five Elements Dao rune Order Divine Chains within his dantian.
After hundreds of thousands of years of exploration and experimentation, when the Order Divine Chains formed by these Great Dao Laws runes constructed a complete Five Elements Great Dao Law within his dantian, the Dao Resonance that profoundly influenced the creatures of Purple Jade Mountain appeared.
At that very moment, a voice that seemed like the Voice of the Great Dao resounded from the depths of Wu Chu's Primordial Spirit. He felt as if he had transformed into heaven and earth, merging with the Five Elements Dao within them into a single entity, his Primordial Spirit soaring through heaven and earth with the Five Elements Dao.
Without realizing it, he seemed to enter a void, where a wide, boundless, and endless river stretched across the void, shimmering with dazzling divine light.
On this vast and boundless, dazzling divine river, a figure slowly turned around, looked at Wu Chu, and smiled as if to say: You've finally arrived!
Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he smiled, "Sorry to keep you waiting!"
Then, that figure merged with him.
Years!
That is, fate!
After merging with the figure above the long river, he looked down at the vast and dazzling divine river and suddenly had an epiphany.
The fate of all living beings changes with the passage of time, yet they cannot escape time and are inextricably intertwined with the years. Therefore, the River of Time is also the River of Destiny of all living beings.
The Daluo, having comprehended the Great Dao Origin, can transform into the Great Dao itself, roam freely within Great Dao, transcend fate, remain unaffected by the erosion of time, and exist eternally in the River of Time.
In the Divine River, those dazzling points of light are the life imprints of all living beings in this world. These life imprints float and sink in this long river, some unrelated to each other, some connected to each other. By picking up any one of them, one can deduce their past and future.
With these insights, Wu Chu began to search for the life imprints of beings related to him within the River of Time.
Aside from his friends and lovers who were also Daluo Immortals, Wu Chu easily found those beings related to him by drawing upon their energy.
He searched tirelessly along the River of Time, but no matter how hard he searched, he could not find a trace of the world he once lived in...
It seems to exist outside the past and future of this Primordial Land.
If it exists, it can certainly be found based on the way Qi attracts each other.
Just as he was unwilling to give up and wanted to continue his search, the dazzling divine river suddenly disappeared before his eyes. And he awoke from his state of enlightenment.
He was unwilling to give up and wanted to search through the River of Time again, but he could not find any trace of River of Time.
Only then did he recall what Hong Yun had once told him: with his cultivation level at the initial stage of the Daluo, it was difficult to even lock onto the River of Time, let alone travel through the past, present, and future.
Clearly, the reason he was able to see the River of Time before was simply because he had just entered the Daluo Realm, and the influence of his Qi brought him this benefit.
Therefore, he could only temporarily abandon this urgent idea and prepare to visit that River of Time when he had the opportunity in the future.
Then, he spent over ten thousand years re-condensing this Runic Divine Chain of Great Dao Order runes into a Golden Core composed of the Five Elements Dao Origin Runes.
When he awoke from his state of enlightenment and opened the door, the laws of the Great Dao Laws within his body spontaneously connected with heaven and earth. Instantly, auspicious rays of light descended from the sky, celestial flowers rained down, and extraordinary phenomena arose frequently. Dao Sound resounded like celestial melody... as if heaven and earth were celebrating for him!
That wondrous feeling made Wu Chu involuntarily open his arms, as if embracing the entire world and merging with it into one.
The three disciples stepped forward and bowed, "Disciple Huanglong (Feng Yi, Di Kun) respectfully welcomes Master out of seclusion and congratulates Master on successfully entering the Daluo Realm..."
Others also stepped forward to offer their congratulations, including Bai Ze, Yoyo, A Qiu... even the Earth Dragon that had been lying dead deep underground in Purple Jade Mountain came out.
Fox Ancestor and Houtu, along with Little Moon Spirit and the little fox, Da Hong Bai Jun, and the little flower fairies like Hua Fei'er, came forward to greet him and offer their congratulations.
Wu Chu concealed his aura and laughed heartily, "Thank you, thank you. From today onwards, there will be a grand banquet at Purple Jade Mountain for three days. Let's all join in the fun."
Qingqiu Li asked with a smile, "A Chu, aren't you planning to inform your friends and neighbors so you can take this opportunity to receive a bunch of gifts?"
Clearly, she still remembered the time when Wu Chu teased the White Ye King.
Wu Chu laughed and said, "Forget it! I don't want any scoundrels to infiltrate Purple Jade Mountain and cause unnecessary trouble and losses for us."
If any Demonic Evil were to infiltrate, although Yibao could easily detect them, the damage would be unavoidable if they were to clash on Purple Jade Mountain.
The damage is a minor matter; if the Little Flower Fairies or those Spirit Root were to die in the battle, the loss would be enormous.
The lesson of White Ye King's defeat at Danzhang Mountain is still fresh in our minds!
Upon arriving at the Main Hall, Wu Chu told his master's Puppet avatar about his emergence from seclusion and his successful advancement to the Daluo realm.
The Puppet clone gave him the word 'good,' and then remained silent.
After returning to their seats, the Little Fox brewed tea for Wu Chu, while Little Moon Spirit led Little Cai Niang and Little Jasmine to the kitchen to prepare ingredients.
Little Yellow Dragon stepped forward with two miniature blue Little Qilin, "Master, these two fellow Daoists are transformed from Celestial Silkworm..."
Wu Chu glanced at them and laughed, "So it's Silkworm One Silkworm Two!"
Unexpectedly, those two old Celestial Silkworm have already reached the Golden Immortal realm.
Wu Chu scanned the Mulberry Tree in the valley below with his Divine Sense and discovered that many of the Celestial Silkworm living on the Mulberry Tree were already at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm. Perhaps after one or two more transformations, some of the Celestial Silkworm would enter the Golden Immortal realm.
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but laugh, making the two Little Qilin feel somewhat embarrassed and a little wronged. They couldn't bully the Celestial Silkworm like that!
Huanglong's lips twitched slightly, and he coughed lightly, saying, "Please, Master, bestow upon them new Daoist names! 'Silkworm One, Silkworm Two' doesn't quite match their current cultivation level."
Upon hearing this, Wu Chu nodded in agreement. He admitted that he had been rather perfunctory in naming them back then, since they were just two silkworms.
But now, they've already quietly cultivated to the Golden Immortal Realm, at least reaching the seventh transformation of the Celestial Silkworm's Nine Transformations. Using such a perfunctory name is indeed a bit of an insult to the silkworm.
If word gets out, it will make him, the Lord of Purple Jade, seem uncultured, won't it?
So he asked, "Have you thought about what names you'll give yourselves? Tell me!"
Upon hearing this, the two Little Qilin nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, I'll be called Undying, and she'll be called Immortal... Or how about I be called Formless? And she'll be called Impermanent? Then Nine Transformations..."
Wu Chu silently watched the Little Qilin whose voice was getting softer and softer, thinking to himself: How dare they be so arrogant? They even dare to take a title like 'immortal and indestructible'? Aren't they afraid of being killed by someone who gets annoyed? Impermanence? I'm the Black and White Impermanence!
After thinking for a moment, Wu Chu said, "The title of 'immortal and indestructible' is too hateful. It can easily attract the displeasure of some powerful beings. What if these powerful beings insist on testing whether you are truly immortal and indestructible?"
The two Little Qilin were stunned upon hearing this. Could such a creature truly exist in this world?
Wu Chu glanced at them and continued, "Although your Celestial Silkworm Clan is said to have Nine Transformations and immortality, it's still better for silkworms to keep a low profile. Ideally, no one should be able to discern your origins from your name, lest you be seen through at a glance and targeted."
"Since your silkworm bodies are as white as snow, you will be called Heaven Ice, and she will be called Heaven Snow. How about that? The character for silkworm (蚕) without the insect radical (虫) becomes 'Tian' (天), so from now on, your Silkworm Clan will use 'Tian' as a prefix..."
While it may not be as domineering and imposing as immortality, considering what Wu Chu said, it would indeed be a loss to provoke a powerful being just because of a title.
So the two little Qilins transformed from silkworms obediently accepted their new names. Compared to the original "Silkworm One" and "Silkworm Two," this "Ice and Snow" was several mountains stronger.
After this little incident, Old Round, as Wu Chu's Named Disciple, also rushed over from its place of cultivation to congratulate its teacher on the completion of his seclusion.
Like Old Round, there are many other creatures, such as Bi Huo, who Bi Huo strolls on Purple Jade Mountain, Guiyuan Turtle, Benbo'erba, who cultivates the land in the other Three Clans lakes of Purple Jade Mountain, and E Meng, as well as the two Dang Kang Pig Daguang Pig Xiaorong, who also live on Purple Jade Mountain. They are a pair of Daoist partners.
There were also several unfamiliar faces, including a girl with a wasp waist, a perky bottom, and long legs who was quite eye-catching; her figure was actually no worse than Big Red's.
