Comprehending the Great Dao

The aftershocks of Nuwa becoming a saint had yet to settle, and all beings in the Primordial World eagerly awaited the Chaos Dao Lecture three thousand years later.

Ming Xin did not return to the West. Instead, he found a secluded valley near Buzhou Mountain, set up restrictions, and decided to use this precious three thousand years to fully digest the merit and insights gained from protecting and enlightening Nuwa.

The valley was deep, filled with dense spiritual energy. Ming Xin sat cross-legged, a sharp gleam shining in his eyes. "The power of merit is a reward from the Heavenly Dao, containing the mysteries of Creation—rare and not to be sought lightly. If not used now, when will it be?" With a thought, he stirred the pure thread of merit golden thread obtained from Nuwa's creation of humanity. Instead of using it to enhance his magic power, he slowly burned it like the most precious fuel!

Golden flames rose from the depths of his Primordial Spirit. They were not scorching but radiated an indescribable clarity, wisdom, and enlightenment! Bathed in the light of these merit flames, he felt his thinking speed, spiritual insight, and perception of the Great Dao's laws sharpen by a hundredfold or more! "System, maximum power auxiliary deduction! Targets: Great Dao of Killing! Five Elements Great Dao!" Ming Xin issued the command.

[Command confirmed. Merit energy converting... Enlightenment enhancement module overclocking... Beginning deep analysis of core laws of the Great Dao of Killing and Five Elements Great Dao...] The system's cold, efficient voice rang out, perfectly merging with the transcendent enlightenment brought by the burning merit.

Boom!

Ming Xin's consciousness seemed to be elevated infinitely, plunging into two vast, boundless oceans of laws. The Great Dao of Killing was no longer simple destruction and death. Under the light of the merit and enlightenment flames, aided by the system, he saw its deeper essence—killing was the end of cycles, the thunderous means of order, the settling of karma, the manifestation of "nothingness," and the beginning of "life." Countless profound truths about judgment, adjudication, purification, and nirvana surged in like tides, cross-referencing, merging, and elevating with the essence of his original Great Nirvana Killing Buddha Scripture. The "kill" Dao rune in his Primordial Spirit flickered wildly, growing more complex, ancient, and majestic, as if representing a cold law of order in heaven and earth.

The Five Elements Great Dao: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth were no longer simple mutual generation and restraint. He saw the foundation of material composition, the root of energy transformation, and the framework of world stability. The rotation of the five elements could give rise to all beings; their reversal could return to primordial chaos! The system frantically recorded and deduced the most fundamental rune structures and energy matrices of the Five Elements Law, deeply integrating them with his self-created "wireless five-element unification evolving into chaos" path. The Chaos Five Elements Pagoda emerged above his head, its body humming, runes on it flickering, recombining, and perfecting at an unprecedented speed, the Chaos Qi it emitted becoming purer and more vast.

Meanwhile, his Past Self and Future Self were not idle either. The Past Self manifested nearby, its body swirling with the aura of the mortal world, the intent of reincarnation flowing. It also bathed in the residual light of the merit and enlightenment flames, focusing on deepening the Path of Mortal World Reincarnation. Countless phantom beings of all living things flickered around it, the Seven Emotions and Six Desires turning into colorful mists that eventually converged into a illusory Reincarnation Gate, making the door increasingly solid. His grasp of the thoughts of all beings, his pull on karma and causality, and his understanding of the reincarnation channel reached new heights.

The Future Self was even more illusory, holding the Fate Compass, countless threads of causality dancing at its fingertips. Seizing this opportunity of surging enlightenment, it devoted all its power to deducing the mysteries of fate and time, trying to capture clearer images from the chaotic branches of the future, to avoid risks and guide the direction for the Main Body. Most of the system's computing power was also allocated to assist the Future Self in vast deduction calculations.

In the valley, the three bodies had distinct auras yet shared the same origin, their Dao rhythms interweaving, causing the flow of time in this area to seem subtly altered. Time passed, and the outside world changed. All beings in the Primordial World prepared for the Chaos Dao Lecture, while Ming Xin was completely immersed in deep enlightenment.

A thousand years passed, and the Great Dao of Killing reached perfection. With a single thought, he could cause all things to wither or cut only karmic obstacles without harming life. Two thousand years passed, and the Five Elements Great Dao was fully perfected. The Chaos Five Elements Pagoda completed its transformation, officially promoted to a powerful Innate Spiritual Treasure. With a single thought, it could create a world of five elements or reverse into chaos, destroying all laws. Two thousand five hundred years passed, and the Past Self pushed the Path of Mortal World Reincarnation to the extreme of its current realm; the Future Self's grasp of fate and time became more precise.

By the end of the third millennium, the golden thread of merit burning around Ming Xin's Main Body was finally exhausted. He slowly opened his eyes. In his left eye, countless beings struggled and perished between killing and redemption, ultimately returning to a cold order and nirvana. In his right eye, the five elements rotated, worlds were born and destroyed, eventually transforming into a wisp of chaos qi before the primordial opening. His aura became extremely restrained, yet it gave an unfathomable feeling, as if containing the terrifying power of two opposing extreme laws. Late Golden Immortal of the Origin peak! He was truly only one step away from the realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin—the opportunity to prove the Dao!

His understanding of the Great Dao of Killing and the Five Elements Great Dao had reached the ultimate perfection possible at his current realm. It could even be said that in terms of "comprehension" of the Dao, he was no longer inferior to some saints who had achieved sainthood through a single law. He had a strong premonition that if he wished, he could trigger his own Dao at any moment and attempt to break through to the saint realm! But he did not. He had never intended to become a saint through a single law. What he wanted was for the laws and Daos of his three bodies to all reach perfection, then merge them into his own being to prove the Dao. He wanted to prove the Primordial Limitless Grand Unity Golden Immortal (Saint of Merged Dao). Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin was never his goal.

"Three thousand years have come." Ming Xin rose to his full height, and the Past Self and Future Self merged into him. Feeling the surging, nearly perfected power of two supreme Daos within him, he curled his lips into a confident arc. "Chaos, Wa Huang Palace, the path of a saint... Perhaps that is where the opportunity I need lies." He stepped out of the valley, his form turning into an intangible streak of light, tearing through the void, heading straight toward the chaos outside the heavens. The first saint of the Primordial World was about to lecture. And Ming Xin was fully prepared. He would listen, verify, and seize his own opportunity in his most peak state!
