Transcendence. Everyone in the Primordial World sought transcendence, yet their horizons gave each of them a different understanding of what it meant.
In the eyes of mortals, especially those at the bottom, passing the imperial examinations, becoming an official, and bringing glory to their ancestors constituted transcendence.
In the eyes of hereditary princes and nobles, perhaps only controlling a nation's government, or even ascending to the dignity of an emperor, counted as transcendence.
Among extraordinary beings-the immortals and gods-those of lower rank regarded advancement to a higher rank as transcendence. Higher immortals and gods, those at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal or above, believed that only becoming a Saint could be called transcendence.
For an existence like Hongjun, who already stood above the Saints, transcendence meant being utterly free of all restraints!
The Heavenly Dao could do nothing to him.
No other living being or magical treasure could defeat him either.
He would be immune to everything and could disregard everything. Only that was true, supreme transcendence!
And now, he would soon achieve it!
Hongjun then turned his gaze toward Chaos. For the moment, he still could not sense the whereabouts of his original body. That meant his flesh had yet to devour Luo Hou's Demon Dao. Otherwise, it would surely have broken through the Seal of All Saints and contacted him.
He still had to wait.
Then his gaze shifted toward a newly opened realm within Chaos-Beyond Heaven.
The Ancestral Bear was there at that moment, while Houtu and the others were absent. This was a good opportunity to dispose of him, but...
Hongjun considered it carefully and decided against it. Better to play it safe. In his current state, even if he killed the Ancestral Bear, he could not withstand Houtu and the Six Saints joining forces.
