Cau Yan Deng's realm of thought has long surpassed that of her physical realm. She has a different degree of understanding of the world's foundation and the Three Thousand Dao. She has seen all the saints, including Heng-hui and Pan Gu, and has a bit of knowledge about them. She is looking at the world from the shoulders of giants, while she is looking at it from the stratosphere. The perspective is different, and the Taixiang Dao Guo (the highest fruit on the Great Realm) is not something she considers unreachable.
However, to make the body understand what the Taixiang Dao Guo is about, and to truly prove the indestructible, immortal, and imperishable Taixiang Dao Guo, it still requires some patient effort.
Previously, at the Yu Xu Palace on Kunlun Mountain, this task was undertaken. Now, in the Hongmeng World, the same is done according to the guidelines of the [Nine Return and Seven Refinement Qianli (Gan-Li) Great Dao True Scripture], continuously conducting yin-yang intersections and the fusion of water and fire for Taiyi Dao Guo. This process ultimately leads to true purity, which is what the Xuanmen and Daomen refer to as the "Divine" realm.
This is not the Western God, nor is it a divine being relying on offerings and worship. Instead, it is a spiritual being that transcends material existence and is truly divine.
At the very beginning, when heaven and earth were created, most of the primitive deities that emerged at that time were of this realm. They were the true gods of Honghuan in its purest form, while immortals were a later development.
Ignoring the holy immortals of the Xuanmen sect, from the primitive deities like the thunder god and the Cloud King to the wandering immortals like Zhonghuangzi and Rongchengzi, and up to today's celestial court deities, this is a cycle of gods becoming immortals and then gods again.
The Taixiang Dao Guo is aimed at the earliest ancient deities.
Cau Yan Deng has long been involved in the "saint" stage, although just a superficial understanding. The so-called "god" in her eyes is just a stop along the journey, not something that can be considered earth-shattering.
She sits quietly in the Hongmeng World, breathing in and out of spiritual energy each day, pushing herself towards higher realms.
This newborn world is constantly expanding, and she has injected new vitality into her own life level.
"From now on, you will be the ruler of this realm. Do you wish to turn to the door of Old Ancestor and learn the boundless wisdom?" The heart demon emerged at the critical moment when she was about to breakthrough.
Cau Yan Deng remained unfazed, even a bit disdainful: "I've seen Pan Gu's will, seen Pan Gu's virtual shadow, seen Dao An merge with the Dao. Now you're telling me that an Ant-like Taixiang Golden Immortal is the master of the world? You're kidding me!"
She said it with her mouth and thought it in her heart.
Compared to Pan Gu, the Taixiang Golden Immortal is not even an ant. What is there to be proud of? The Three Treasures and Nu Wa, who were all transformed into Dao Deities, are already at the level of Taixiang Golden Immortals when they were born. After years of struggling, I have only reached the same level as they did when they were just born. I am truly weak!"
The heart demon also seems to have seen her true intentions. The Severing Sword is not a treasure she forged herself. As she absorbs pure spiritual qi on this side, the Severing Sword also takes advantage of the opportunity of refining land fire water wind to not only re-coalesce one of Luo Yao's wills, but also absorb the last moment's murderous qi and killing qi in the entire Hongmeng World, making the power of the heart demon even stronger than before.
It's precisely because it's stronger than before that he is hesitating on his side.
It's because she's about to break through at this opportunity, letting her fall into the control of the heart demon, or waiting for the next opportunity.
"The Great Ancestor has manifested in countless forms and knows no secrets. When Hongmeng Ziqi dispersed in the ancient era, it spread to various corners of Honghuan. I can tell you the location. If you don't believe, you can use telepathy to check." The heart demon is still unwilling to give up the present opportunity. Immortals of Honghuan break through when their hearts are most vulnerable and empty. Once a chance is missed, it will never come again.
In his eyes, this female disciple of Nuwa has a strong demonic nature and high potential. If she were to fall into demons, he would gain another powerful general under his command.
Cau Yan Deng acted as if she hadn't heard anything, and the heart demon repeated his words again, even removing the mental barriers, allowing her to read his thoughts freely, making it seem like he was being very candid.
Cau Yan Deng found him tedious: "Before the Primordial Demonic Immortal, Yan Shixi, sought this swirling Hongmeng Ziqi for three thousand years, Demonic Immortal is also a part of you, at least once was a part of you. Demonic Immortal needs Hongmeng Ziqi. Do you suppose you need it as well? You should use it yourself instead of keeping it for me? Are you stupid?"
"The Great Ancestor follows the path of demons and does not need this useless Hongmeng Ziqi."
Cau Yan Deng realized that she was still one step away from the real breakthrough, but she wasn't in a hurry. She waited for the opportune moment to arrive.
Seeing that there was still some time, she told the heart demon, "Let me tell you a story."
Heart Demon: "？？？?"
You guy is already at the most critical moment of breakthrough, and you still give me stories?
Once upon a time, there was a scholar named Li, who was truly known as a person of profound talent, at least he himself believed so. This scholar was famous throughout the land. He doggedly pursued the most beautiful woman of the time, Miss Hu. They appreciated each other deeply, with his talents matching her beauty, and in the end, they came together.
"Li believed that he had married a goddess, and was delighted every day. However, when he saw Miss Hu relieve herself and suffer from constipation, his idealized view of her was shattered completely. They eventually parted ways."
The heart demon was taken aback. Such a flavorful story, what does it have to do with you achieving the Taixiang Dao Guo?
Cau Yan Deng sighed: "Hongmeng Ziqi is like Miss Hu to me. The previous efforts to pursue her were all filled with beautiful imaginations, but once I got her, it turned out that it was just like that."
The heart demon was stunned: "Are you going to give up the Three Slaying Technique of Hongjun the Elder and take the path of proving the Dao through strength?"
Based on the heart demon's judgment, he thought that Cau Yan Deng had the potential to walk the path of proving the Dao through strength, but whether she could succeed is unknown to anyone.
That's Pangu's path. Luo Yao, even though he was unable to defeat Hongjun and the other sages, has been reduced to chatting with the disciples of the sages. How could he possibly know what Pangu's path is like?
"No."
"Ah?"
Cau Yan Deng said sternly, "How could I possibly choose the path of proving the Dao through strength? I'm crazy?"
"Then why?"
"Ahem, well, I just had nothing to do, so I thought I'd chat with you. Turns out, talking to you has completely lifted a heavy burden from me. I've transcended, I've broken through!"
"One dirty thing can cover another dirty thing. During her conversation with the heart demon, she has completely eliminated the last trace of darkness in her mind. Although it was no longer present in her actual consciousness, a faint trace remained on the mental level, which was preventing her from reaching the state of perfect enlightenment."
Now, by conversing with the heart demon, she is stalling for time. The Taixiang Dao Guo inside her Taiyi Dao Guo has accumulated a considerable amount of power and has reached its maximum limit through the nine restorative and seven return stages. Her essence, qi, and spirit have all reached their highest levels.
Above her head, in the festive clouds, a multitude of lotus flowers appeared, and behind her, a five-colored aura shimmered, symbolizing the perfection of meritorious deeds. The melodious sound of achievement stirred the chaos bell to automatically rise into the sky and gently strike at the highest point of the Hongmeng World. The sound of the bell swept away all the gloom from her past, cleansed her Dao body, and in that moment, she was light on her feet and naturally stepped into a new level.
Taixiang Golden Immortal!
