After hearing Yuanjun's words, Li Xingkong fell into deep thought.
There are currently only two known methods to advance to the Daluo realm.
The first type is to carve out your own niche.
The second approach is to be the first to act.
Both methods are difficult, and just look at that Era of Chaos, where so many extraordinary talents constantly fought and battled, yet few people mentioned Traversal time to return to ancient times. This makes it clear that the second path is far more difficult than the first.
Given the current situation, it seems that becoming Daluo has become a pipe dream.
"May I ask, Master, have any other Daluo appeared since the ancient times?"
After much thought, Li Xingkong realized that none of the methods seemed quite feasible, and he began to doubt whether there was any way to advance to the Daluo at all.
"Although the Era of Chaos offered a good solution to the problem, the answer is... there is no solution."
Yuanjun's words revealed a hint of regret.
"As cultivation becomes more widespread and more cultivators achieve enlightenment, the Daluo becomes increasingly difficult to attain. Moreover, countless cultivators from the past and future have gathered in that era, and each of them is an exceptionally talented individual. How could they possibly relinquish their own concepts to others?"
"Furthermore, cultivators have different personalities. Some simply dislike killing and avoid the Era of Chaos. Such people, no matter what, will not take a single step into the Era of Chaos, and naturally cannot concede to it."
"If this continues, naturally no one will be able to reach the Daluo Dao."
Hearing Yuanjun's answer, Li Xingkong was still somewhat shocked.
He thought that if such a place existed, it should produce at least a few Daluo, but to his surprise, there wasn't a single one.
As far as the current situation in the Primordial World is concerned, the fact that no one can advance to the Daluo realm means that the overall structure of the Primordial World will not change.
But for those who have already become Daluo, this news is clearly not so good.
Is the Daluo the end point of cultivation? Obviously not.
Above the Daluo, there are several Sage who reign supreme.
The path to sainthood for each Sage is unique and cannot be replicated. It is shaped by favorable timing, location, and human relationships, and even by destiny itself, and is full of variables and unknowability.
To understand the method of achieving sainthood, a large number of references are needed.
For cultivators who have already achieved the Daluo realm and wish to advance further, a completely blocked path to advancement offers little benefit.
Power, ambition, territory, resources—for those who have already achieved the status of Daluo, these are all external things that can be easily reshaped and have no real meaning.
Unfortunately, even when Yuanjun looked back at this problem from the perspective of the Daluo, there was still no good solution.
The problem isn't with the promotion system, but with the relationships between people.
To achieve the Daluo, one must contend, but to contend, one must Era of Chaos, a path that seems to be blocked by the existing Primordial World rules.
"So, outside of the Era of Chaos, is it really impossible to fight?"
Li Xingkong could imagine that there must be cases where people were just one step away from finding a node, missing only a few key nodes, but the node holders were found to be lying dormant in other eras.
Under such circumstances, there will definitely be people who will take the risk and choose to act.
"Rules are rules; naturally, some people are willing to listen, and some are not."
Yuanjun pointed, and a message entered Li Xingkong's mind—a list.
The list is still being updated in real time; some names are disappearing while others are being added. Although the updates are not frequent, the pace is not slow either.
"This is a list jointly compiled by all the major forces in the Primordial World. Those on the list need to be dealt with, either executed on the spot or escorted to the Era of Chaos, where several Daluo Immortals will personally oversee them. Basically, as long as they harbor evil thoughts, they will be detected."
"As direct descendants of Jade Void, we naturally must set an example."
Li Xingkong naturally had no intention of taking the path of killing. He asked this question simply to confirm whether it was truly safe in this ordinary era.
With several Daluo guarding the area, Hu's safety should be assured.
After a series of inquiries, Li Xingkong learned about Yuanjun's promotion method, but in reality, it wasn't of much use to him.
He couldn't use Yuanjun's method; he had to think of another way.
Thinking of this, Li Xingkong forgot that he was still in Yuanjun's Hall of Seeking the Dao and immediately began a brainstorming session.
Yuanjun did not interrupt him, but simply placed a barrier Li Xingkong and let him go.
Li Xingkong. He didn't want to engage in fighting and killing; he just wanted to quietly walk a path of cultivation.
After sorting through all the issues, Li Xingkong figured out several key points for promotion.
First, to achieve the Daluo status, one must master a complete Dao.
But what is the complete Tao, and who defined this completeness? I had never paid attention to this before, but now, this description does seem a bit strange.
Just like Li Xingkong's Dao Evolution, before Li Xingkong discovered it, it was just a way of combining rules that appeared by chance.
No one can clearly define what constitutes a complete path.
Only when Li Xingkong is cultivating can he perceive what stage it will reach next.
At this point, Li Xingkong began to have some doubts about the word "complete." Did it only become complete when there were no unknown nodes around it?
Second, regarding the node issue.
Li Xingkong didn't seem to understand how these nodes were linked together, or why they could transcend physical space and connect the wills of many cultivators.
Understanding what nodes are and what their meaning is can be very helpful for cultivation.
And the third point...
Li Xingkong felt that the Daluo he was currently seeking was somewhat similar to the Dao Integration sought by the people behind the three great civilizations back in the Primordial Universe.
Pursuing the concept of physical manifestation is not problematic, but does constantly trying to master more concepts truly help one's spiritual practice?
Li Xingkong felt that ever since he became Golden Immortal, his cultivation had taken on a different flavor.
In each of the previous stages, the goal was quite clear: to achieve immortality.
After becoming an immortal, Li Xingkong was given some basic information at the beginning.
To achieve Dao Immortal, one must grasp the concepts; what one seeks is a ticket to immortality, a Immortal Seat.
When the Primordial World reigns and the world restarts, the Immortal Seat that can help one survive this calamity.
But looking at it now, is this Immortal Seat really useful? Not necessarily.
Li Xingkong Li Xingkong that it could help him survive the calamity of the reopening of the Primordial World, but he absolutely did not believe that achieving Immortal Seat would mean reaching the end of his cultivation journey.
The so-called three thousand demons at the beginning of the world were probably just passengers from the previous era.
However, during the ancient era, these old guests were all eliminated to make way for the people of the new era.
Can this method truly allow one to transcend the three realms?
Li Xingkong sensed something was wrong.
