Streams of heaven-opening merit flew from Laozi's primordial spirit, shrouding his entire figure.
Under this boundless heaven-opening merit, the aura around Laozi, which had hovered between a Sage and a Half-Saint, surged once more.
Boom!
An earth-shaking roar rang out.
Under the influence of this boundless heaven-opening merit, Laozi's three corpses fused completely with his true self.
At that moment, Laozi's aura climbed to a terrifying level. Feeling the waves of dreadful pressure emanating from him, countless members of the Human Race along the Eastern Seashore could not help bowing toward the sky.
Not only these humans-even Tongtian and Yuanshi felt an urge to kneel and bow rise within them.
Laozi had finally taken that step!
Meanwhile, deep within the Primordial World's land of origin.
An imprint of a thin figure with an aged face abruptly appeared there. Like a streak of light, it branded itself deep within the core of the origin.
Around this imprint stood a figure with a human head and a serpent's body, as well as another figure entirely shrouded in mist.
"Hmm? Why is there no trace of Daochen's aura?"
Waves of divine thought rippled from Laozi's primordial spirit imprint, deep within the power of origin of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao.
Here, deep within the power of origin of the Primordial World's Heavenly Dao, he sensed the auras of Hongjun and Nüwa, but he could not sense Daochen's.
He could not even find the Three-Legged Golden Crow's imprint.
This stirred a trace of doubt in his heart.
They had all attained the Dao and become Sages, yet Daochen's primordial spirit imprint had not appeared within the Heavenly Dao's origin.
*Could Daochen's method of attaining the Dao be the same as Great Immortal Yangmei's, with the rank he attained being that of a Primordial Unity
