The Transfer of Reincarnation Authority! Standing Firm Against Heavenly Dao Hongjun
"Where... am I?"
Guiling opened his eyes, a look of confusion flashing across them.
But then she remembered.
She was previously... traversing the void.
However, as the pressure around the void grew stronger and the resistance to stealth increased, Guiling couldn't help but think of his time at the Changsheng's Dao Field.
When she was just a minor Golden Immortal, her master was training her body.
They simply threw a Small Thousand World at her and made her train under its weight.
Then...
And that was the end of it.
She fainted the moment the Small Thousand World touched her.
And this time is no different.
The instant she felt that sensation, her consciousness became incredibly blurred, but...
Guiling remembered that in the instant before his consciousness blurred, he seemed to have broken through something.
It was that strange feeling that made her completely relax and faint.
"By the way... where's Jinling!"
The first thing Guiling did upon realizing this was to look around for Jinling.
However... the moment I opened my eyes.
What met the Guiling's eyes was an extremely intricate and mysterious pattern composed of countless flowing threads of light.
"This..."
The moment the Guiling saw the intricate and mysterious patterns formed by the flowing light, it instinctively became immersed in them.
In that instant.
The Guiling seemed to see a complete world.
Endless energy flows, endless matter crumbles and reforms, the river of time flows on and on, and the barriers of the world are infinitely vast.
"This... is absolutely brilliant!"
With just one glance, the Guiling was completely immersed in it, and the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of the World surged into his mind.
Meanwhile, the Middle Thousand World of her body was also constantly changing, refining, and gradually optimizing as she comprehended the Great Dao of the World.
It should be noted that, unlike the Great Dao of the Stars that Jinling cultivates, which only occupies a small part of the Primordial World Cycle, this path is different.
The Great Dao of the World that the Guiling cultivates is extremely vast; even... reincarnation should be a part of this world.
Although, at this time, the Great Dao of the Guiling's Great Dao of the World was not yet qualified to bear its reincarnation, let alone transform this reincarnation into a part of the world.
But...
Just watching, the endless mysteries and insights of the world flowed into the Guiling's consciousness.
Not far behind Guiling, Ao Changsheng Ao Changsheng stood quietly, sighing as he recalled Guiling's reaction and actions.
"Really... the first reaction of the two of you upon waking up was exactly the same. Did you two become dao companion while I wasn't looking?"
Ao Changsheng looked at Guiling with complicated feelings, as if his beloved Little White, which he had raised for millions of years, had been... stolen by another Little White.
All I can say is...
It's good that the one rooting up the cabbage isn't a pig!
Ao Changsheng sighed deeply over here.
Pingxin, standing to the side, gave Ao Changsheng a strange look, even though she had known Ao Changsheng for quite some time.
But to be honest, every time Pingxin sees Ao Changsheng, she has a different feeling.
Every time, you manage to come up with something new and interesting.
While inwardly criticizing Ao Changsheng, Pingxin walked straight forward and came to Guiling's side.
At this moment, the Guiling is immersed in reincarnation, which is the most suitable time to merge with the Authority of Reincarnation. If we wait for the Guiling to awaken and return...
To merge with this Authority of Reincarnation again...
It would require a very complicated explanation, and perhaps also involve facing the touching gaze between master and disciple.
So...
While the Guiling was still immersed in reincarnation and had finished merging the Authority of Reincarnation, she decided to leave immediately.
Let Ao Changsheng explain it himself.
Standing before Guiling, Pingxin flicked his hand, and a ball of complex light appeared in his Pingxin.
Although both are privileged beings from the Primordial World cycle of reincarnation, Ao Changsheng, whose name carries the word "fake," is ultimately less professional than Pingxin, whose name is embellished with the word "true."
Such matters as transferring the Authority of Reincarnation should naturally be left to professionals!
Although Pingxin's fee was quite high, well... there's no way around it, you have to spend what you have to spend!
Ao Changsheng silently held up the Great Thousand World on his chest, standing in front of Guiling and Pingxin, his gaze slightly raised as he looked at the familiar figures before him.
Ao Changsheng showed no sign of surprise.
"Although I expected it, your appearance still truly surprised me!" Ao Changsheng said with a light laugh, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun!"
Good.
At this moment, Hongjun appeared in front of Ao Changsheng —no, to be precise, in front of Guiling and Pingxin, but was blocked by Ao Changsheng.
The Heavenly Dao Hongjun!
Faced with Ao Changsheng's greeting, Heavenly Dao Hongjun remained expressionless and showed no fluctuation of emotion, immediately withdrawing his outstretched right hand.
Pfft~
That hand was withdrawn from the Great Thousand World that Ao Changsheng was holding up, but...
In the instant he withdrew his right hand, the fingers of Heavenly Dao Hongjun's right hand twitched almost imperceptibly within the Great Thousand World.
And it was in that instant...
Ao Changsheng casually tossed aside the Great Thousand World on the verge of destruction that he was holding.
Before they had flown very far, they saw that the Great Thousand World had already collapsed.
Unlike Ao Changsheng's previous abilities to guide the destruction of the world in order to create a stronger and more perfect world, this is different.
At that moment, that Great Thousand World silently turned into ashes, and the endless energy and matter contained within it seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Destroying the entire world in the blink of an eye, this method...
"Truly worthy of the name of Heavenly Dao!"
Ao Changsheng murmured a word of praise, while his other hand, which also contained a Great Thousand World, blocked the left hand that Heavenly Dao Hongjun extended when he withdrew his right hand to launch an attack.
And the same.
After being pierced and pulled out by the left hand of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
Ao Changsheng then casually discarded that Great Thousand World and followed in the footsteps of the Great Thousand World one.
"Changsheng Daoist Changsheng's ability to casually create Great Thousand World is True God extraordinary!" Hongjun's voice rang out.
But...
However, it did not come from the mouth of Heavenly Dao Hongjun, who was confronting Ao Changsheng.
Instead, it came from a smiling phantom of the Daoist Hongjun, not far from the battlefield.
Beside the illusory figure of Dao Ancestor Hongjun, there was another figure appearing as an illusion—who else could it be but Ao Changsheng?
"It's just opening up a few incomplete Great Thousand World that can't give birth to life, nothing to mention," said the illusory figure of Ao Changsheng casually.
"Fellow Daoist, aren't you going to rein yourself in a bit... and just let the Heavenly Dao run rampant?"
As Ao Changsheng spoke, he shifted his gaze from the battlefield to Hongjun.
That's right.
Just as Ao Chang said, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun who was fighting against 'Ao Changsheng' was not Hongjun.
Rather... it is the Heavenly Dao!
It was the will of Heavenly Dao that was manipulating things, and the being that resembled Hongjun was engaged in battle.
As for the reason...
This is naturally because Pingxin and Guiling are currently performing the transfer of Authority of Reincarnation.
Even if the Authority of Reincarnation is in the process of being transferred, it is still considered unclaimed in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao.
And unclaimed...
He naturally accepted it without hesitation.
Thus, the scene before us came to be.
Certainly.
Judging from Ao Changsheng's tone earlier, it was clear that Ao Changsheng had already guessed this.
Even the fact that it was Pingxin, not Ao Changsheng, who was transferring the Authority of Reincarnation at that moment further illustrates this point.
"Changsheng Daoist Changsheng overestimates this old Daoist. The will of Heavenly Dao is not something this old Daoist can control."
"I usually only offer my suggestions; whether they are listened to or not is ultimately up to Heavenly Dao," Hongjun said with a melancholy expression.
Seeing the melancholy Hongjun, Ao Changsheng made no comment.
You can say what you want; whether I listen or believe, that's my business, and has nothing to do with you Hongjun.
Hongjun, standing to the side, didn't find Ao Changsheng's appearance strange at all. In fact, it wouldn't matter if such a thing were said.
Only...
He's been scheming and plotting lately, and he just blurted it out unconsciously.
While the phantoms of Ao Changsheng and Hongjun were chatting, on the other side, Ao Changsheng and the Heavenly Dao Hongjun were fighting in a frenzied manner.
In this short span of time.
Ao Changsheng has already destroyed hundreds of Great Thousand World.
Only he could afford to be so extravagant; no other cultivator would have the right to do so.
To resist the Heavenly Dao methods of Heavenly Dao Hongjun, Ao Changsheng had no other means besides confronting it head-on with the Great Thousand World.
After all, this time he wasn't fighting against the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, but rather trying to prevent the Heavenly Dao Hongjun from affecting Pingxin and Guiling behind him.
At a time like this, he naturally wouldn't dodge.
Once again, Ao Changsheng blocked the attack from Heavenly Dao Hongjun and tossed the Great Thousand World in his hand aside.
At the same time, with a thought, he once again created a Great Thousand World to meet the attack of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
The expressionless Heavenly Dao Hongjun maintained his poker face and withdrew his hand from it.
The Heavenly Dao could not break through Ao Changsheng's Great Thousand World Defense, and Ao Changsheng had no other means to hinder the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
The two attacked and defended, and at this moment, they were locked in a stalemate.
Certainly.
What may seem like a simple attack and block, one offensive and one defensive... but in reality, the clash between the two is far more complex than it appears.
Leaving aside the fact that Ao Changsheng could create the Great Thousand Universe with a mere thought, and that Heavenly Dao Hongjun could destroy the Great Thousand Universe with a snap of his fingers.
It's a collision between the two, and it's never a simple head-on collision.
If you look closely, you can see the endless flow of the Great Dao of Data in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
A series of intricate and profound attacks were incorporated into the seemingly ordinary grab of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, each attempting to surpass Ao Changsheng.
They tried to seize the Authority of Reincarnation from Pingxin behind Ao Changsheng, but Ao Changsheng blocked them every time.
For Ao Changsheng, blocking the attacks unleashed by Heavenly Dao Hongjun with his computational power at the level of the Heavenly Dao was undoubtedly a series of enormous tests.
If there is even the slightest mistake, the attack of Heavenly Dao Hongjun will be missed and allowed to succeed.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a hint of weariness in Ao Changsheng's seemingly effortless eyes.
In a short period of time, the number of clashes was at most a few thousand, or even ten thousand. That was the extent of the conflict.
It's unbelievable that Ao Changsheng would feel tired.
But that's the truth.
At this moment, Ao Changsheng was completely focused, and each time he blocked an attack from Heavenly Dao Hongjun, it required a great deal of mental effort.
But...
It'll be ready soon!
With a tiny fraction of his mental energy focused on calculating the time, Ao Changsheng silently recited in his mind.
Although Ao Changsheng and Heavenly Dao Hongjun have fought thousands, even tens of thousands of times, the time spent in between is actually extremely short.
The transfer of Authority of Reincarnation is not a time-consuming matter, especially in the eyes of Daluo Golden Immortal or even Quasi-Sage.
This is probably something that happens in a split second before you can even react.
However, according to Ao Changsheng and the Heavenly Dao Hongjun's concept of time, it was enough for them to have exchanged thousands or even tens of thousands of blows.
"Alright! The transfer of Authority of Reincarnation is complete."
This time, it wasn't Ao Changsheng who spoke, but... Pingxin.
The Authority of Reincarnation that Pingxin had been holding had vanished, completely merging into the Guiling's Primordial Spirit and becoming one with it.
The Authority of Reincarnation has a master.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dao consciousness within Heavenly Dao Hongjun also instantly sensed this and then prepared to leave.
As the Authority of Reincarnation that even the Heavenly Dao craves, if it is unclaimed, the Heavenly Dao naturally wants to acquire it.
However, if it has an owner, even if that owner is just a mortal, the Heavenly Dao will absolutely not touch it in the slightest.
Viewing all things as straw dogs, absolute fairness, absolute selflessness—this... is the Primordial World Heavenly Dao.
"Now..."
Ao Changsheng's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light; being passively beaten was not in his nature.
Meanwhile, the Great Thousand World that had been brewing from the very beginning enveloped the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, who was preparing to leave, in that instant.
This is not the incomplete Great Thousand World that Ao Changsheng hastily created to deal with the extremely fast and complex attacks of Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
This Great Thousand World.
This was Ao Changsheng's full power, a vast Great Thousand World created by integrating the various Great Dao he now knew with the Great Dao of the World.
Among them are the Great Dao of Water, the Great Dao of Thunder, the Great Dao of Earth, and the Great Dao of Metal.
It also consists of seven Great Dao, including Ao Changsheng's Dao body and the Great Daos of Great Dao of Wood, Great Dao of Fire, Great Dao of Wind that he captured from the Chaos.
The only pity is that all the Great Dao that Ao Changsheng has obtained so far are ordinary Great Dao, none of them are particularly profound.
Even if you gather all five Great Dao (metal, wood, water, fire, earth), without the existence of the Great Dao of the Five Elements, these five Great Dao are ultimately just ordinary first-level Great Dao.
There are no powerful Great Dao such as creation, destruction, yin and yang, or time and space.
But...
That's enough.
All seven Great Dao were integrated into the Great Dao of the World, resulting in a qualitative leap in the Great Dao of the World compared to when Ao Changsheng first broke through.
And...
Cultivators who have mastered the Dao of Opening Up an Inner World possess far greater Law Power than cultivators of the same level.
Now Ao Changsheng is going all out.
A vast and magnificent Great Thousand World was thus created.
This Great Thousand World is undoubtedly the strongest and most magnificent Great Thousand World that Ao Changsheng has ever created.
However, Ao Changsheng did not hesitate at all. He enveloped the Heavenly Dao Hongjun within it and at the same time directly activated this Great Thousand World, plunging it into annihilation.
An endless, terrifying destructive force raged across this Great Thousand World.
Amidst that raging energy, Heavenly Dao Hongjun was initially able to withstand some of it, but as the entire Great Thousand Universe fell into annihilation...
Even the Heavenly Dao Hongjun could not withstand it, and soon, under the Pingxin eyes of Ao Changsheng and Pingxin, he slowly turned into ashes.
Certainly...
This scene was naturally witnessed by the distant phantom of Hongjun.
However... that kind smile remained.
Even with Ao Changsheng's illusory figure scrutinizing it closely, no change could be detected.
But... nothing has changed, isn't that the biggest change?
A smile appeared on the lips of Ao Changsheng's illusory figure.
Of course, Ao Changsheng wasn't too smug.
He knew very well that although the Heavenly Dao Hongjun had turned to ashes and seemed to have been destroyed, in reality, from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao...
There was almost no damage.
Even the vessel of the Heavenly Dao, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, probably wouldn't suffer any damage.
Given the terrifying scale of the Primordial World, it was merely a body of Hongjun who had been reborn; at most, it would only last for a few breaths.
For Hongjun, his most important Primordial Spirit and true essence were perfectly intact and present beside him.
Ao Changsheng felt a slight self-mockery in his heart.
In the depths of his memory, the protagonist of that Primordial World, after going head-to-head with the Heavenly Dao, would be like this: the Heavenly Dao is completely unharmed, while he himself is exhausted to the extreme.
"This humble Daoist priest can be considered a disgrace to transmigrators!"
