Heavily Wounding a Saint

Liu Yuanchen was well versed in many Primordial World legends, so he naturally understood that merging oneself with the Dao was no good thing.

After the Dao-Demon War, more than half of the Primordial World's treasures had fallen into Daoist Hongjun's hands.

Yet after he finished preaching at Violet Cloud Palace, he had retained only his Dao-Proving Treasure—the Creation Jade Disc.

As for the other treasures, he had placed them all upon Treasure-Dividing Rock and distributed them among the three thousand mortal guests.

He had not wanted the Three Heaven-Opening Treasures to reunite, nor had he wanted the Chaos Pearl to reappear, so he had not kept them for himself.

He had banished the Chaos Bell into Chaos, while the twelve Sea-Calming Pearls had been sent to worlds such as the Origin Spirit Realm.

From all this, Liu Yuanchen could infer that after Dao Integration, one likely could not retain any treasures apart from one's Dao-Proving Treasure.

He had painstakingly gathered so many treasures. If he could not keep them, would all that effort not have been for nothing?

Moreover, after Dao Integration, there were countless restrictions, and one's control over the Primordial World was not particularly strong.

He possessed a Grand Luo World, and with the Chaos Pearl, the Dongyang Realm could potentially advance further in the future and grow to the level of the Primordial World.

As the lord of a world, walking the World-Dominion Path meant being completely free of such restrictions.

He had laid low for an entire kalpa and had only just managed to become carefree and unrestrained.

Merging himself with the Primordial Heavenly Dao—would that not be deliberately seeking suffering?

Furthermore, Daoist Hongjun had always wanted to transcend.

If Liu Yuanchen took his place, that fellow might just be able to transcend.
