"Nüwa Empress, instead of caring about the affairs of the human race, you were curious about why I came?"
"I'm just an ordinary minor cultivator of the human race!"
Hearing this, Nüwa could not help but laugh.
"Wudao, do you think I'm a fool? Would the Future Self of an ordinary cultivator be so powerful? Besides, it isn't that I don't care about the human race. Your Future Self crushed Yuanshi and Taiqing, and Teach—!"
Nüwa had originally wanted to call Hongjun her teacher, but recalling what he had done just now, she could not help but stop herself.
After a moment, she continued, "Hongjun was sealed within Zixiao Palace by your Future Self, while Jie Yin and Zhun Ti were scared out of their wits. Naturally, they won't cause trouble for the human race again anytime soon."
"Since they won't cause trouble for the human race in the short term, I've become interested in your affairs!"
Hearing this, Ling Wudao immediately revealed a helpless expression.
"Fine! Since you're curious, I won't hide it from you."
"I was born as the next generation of humans created by you. My only difference is that I had some unusual opportunities!"
Trying to pry information out of me? Just watch me fool you properly. In any case, none of my secrets can be deduced by you, so I can make up whatever I want. Still, it would be safer to make it sound logical; it'll also make things easier in the future.
"Since I was born, I liked drawing things, until one time...!"
After listening to his account, Nüwa and Tongtian could not help but reveal shocked expressions.
He was simply a monster! He had comprehended The Way of Talismans by drawing patterns, and had even inadvertently summoned his own Future Self. That was why he knew so much about the Great Desolation.
However, there was still one thing Tongtian did not understand. Ling Wudao was only at the middle stage of the Qi Refining Stage, yet he could instantly kill Great Luo-level cultivators. No matter how he thought about it, he could not figure it out!
After all, the Qi Refining Stage was merely the beginning of a cultivator's path. It was simply impossible for it to instantly kill a Great Luo.
"Wudao, there is something I don't understand. How did you instantly kill a Great Luo? With your middle-stage Qi Refining Stage cultivation, you should be incapable of doing that."
I didn't expect Tongtian to be quite clever. He actually asked me this question. But there's no harm in telling him; even if I tell him, he won't be able to cultivate it. After all, not just anyone can cultivate the Mythical Great Luo method.
Besides, I'm going to win Tongtian over anyway. There's nothing wrong with letting him know a few things. As for the system, that absolutely cannot be exposed.
"Saint Tongtian, the reason I can instantly kill Great Luo Golden Immortals is actually because of the difference in cultivation methods."
"Let me put it this way!"
"What you cultivate now is the lowest grade of the Heavenly Dao. You entrust your primordial spirits to the Heavenly Dao Void, thereby obtaining the ability to be undying and indestructible. This path is the lowest level of Dao."
"Entrusting your primordial spirits to the Heavenly Dao is equivalent to placing your lives in its hands. If the Heavenly Dao collapses, you will perish completely as well."
"And most importantly, you cannot leave the Great Desolation. If you leave this world, you can no longer receive the Heavenly Dao's power, nor can you retain the ability to be undying and indestructible."
Upon hearing this, Nüwa and Tongtian could not help but fall into contemplation.
Ling Wudao was right. Although entrusting their primordial spirits to the Heavenly Dao Void granted them the ability to be undying and indestructible, that was limited to the Great Desolation. Once they stepped beyond it, they too would perish.
However, they still did not understand why he said that the Dao they cultivated was the lowest grade.
Nüwa asked, "Wudao, although we have entrusted our primordial spirits to the Heavenly Dao Void, we have still reached the peak of cultivators. No matter what, it cannot be the lowest grade of Dao, can it?"
Ling Wudao smiled faintly. "I have my reasons for saying that your Dao is low-grade."
"It is because the path you walk is the Heavenly Dao, not the Great Dao, nor is it your own Dao."
"No matter how you cultivate, you will ultimately be unable to transcend the Heavenly Dao. Do you still think your Dao is lofty?"
"Part of your primordial spirits is in the hands of the Heavenly Dao, so you will ultimately be unable to comprehend the complete Dao of Laws."
"Therefore, your limit can only be the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Dao Saint realm."
"But I am different. What I began comprehending was Dao itself."
"The Dao I speak of is neither the Heavenly Dao nor the Great Dao, but the true Dao!"
"Dao has no form, no image. It cannot be examined, explored, or measured."
"The cultivation method I practice is called the Mythical Great Luo Cultivation Method!"
"Mythical Great Luo transcends the river of time, eternal and imperishable. Its past, present, and future bodies unite as one, transcending Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and the elements of Five Elements Yin Yang. It controls the Ten Thousand Luo Divine Elephant, creates something from nothing, and the body itself becomes the beginning and end of Dao. With a thought, it moves the heavens; with a single thought, a universe is born. Its consciousness is immortal, its true spirit indestructible, and billions of great worlds are held in its palm. It roams eternally, free and unrestrained."
"This cultivation method has four major realms: Qi Refining Stage, Qi Refining Spirit Transformation, Spirit Refining Return to Emptiness, and Refining Emptiness United with the Dao."
"These four major realms are further divided into three minor stages: early, middle, and late."
"The early Qi Refining Stage is equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Immortal of the Great Desolation. The middle stage is the peak of the Mixed Origin Golden Immortal realm, which is my current realm. The late stage is the realm of the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal. From there, one advances step by step, and upon reaching the late stage of Refining Emptiness United with the Dao, one may attain the Mythical Great Luo realm."
After hearing Ling Wudao's explanation, Nüwa and Tongtian were so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped.
The Mythical Great Luo Cultivation Method was far too terrifying. Once one attained Mythical Great Luo, one would practically become the true Dao itself. It was simply inconceivable.
The two remained stunned for a long time before slowly regaining their senses.
Nüwa looked at Ling Wudao. "This cultivation method is far too heaven-defying. Although I shouldn't ask where your method came from, I truly cannot help being curious. How did you obtain it?"
Ling Wudao glanced at Nüwa, as if he had long expected her to ask that question.
"How I obtained this cultivation method is actually very simple. Didn't I summon my Future Self before? He gave me this cultivation method, so I began cultivating it."
"However, cultivating it is extremely difficult. If my Future Self had not helped me condense the Primordial Qi Body, I would not have been able to cultivate it either."
"This cultivation method requires one to condense a wisp of Primordial Qi."
"In the mythical method, Primordial Qi is also called Innate Primordial Qi. It is the original qi that gave birth to heaven, earth, people, and all things. It is the foundation that forms all things in heaven and earth."
"Simply put, Primordial Qi is the origin of all things!"
"Only by cultivating a wisp of Primordial Qi can one truly begin cultivating the Mythical Great Luo method."
"Alright, I've told you what you wanted to know. Next, it is time to discuss your matters."
"Nüwa Empress, I know the human race was created by you, so they are practically your children. Yet you are also honored by the demon race as their Demon Emperor."
"You cannot keep wavering between both sides. You can only make one choice now: choose the human race, or choose the demon race."
"If you choose the demon race, then the human race will abandon you."
