Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 1164 - 700: Attacking Heaven_2
The Golden Mother Primordial Lord did not say much, and directly presented an item, handing it over to Xu Yang.
It was the Innate One Qi Great Purity Talisman!
Upon seeing this, Xu Yang also acted decisively, reaching out to receive the talisman: "This humble one will surely exert all my effort and not disappoint the high expectations of the Immortals and Saints!"
"With Taoist making such a promise, we can all feel at ease!"
The Golden Mother Primordial Lord nodded, then turned her gaze to Daoist Shangqing: "The matter of the Taoism of the Three Pure Ones will be explained by the Taoist Master and Qingyang Taoist."
"Hmm!"
Daoist Shangqing nodded, waved his hand to conjure stone table and chairs, invited the two to sit down, and then got straight to the point. He said to Xu Yang: "Taoist has also deeply cultivated Taoism; do you know the origin of the Three Pure Ones of our Mystic Yellow Taoism?"
Xu Yang pondered for a moment, then responded: "I heard it originated from the transformation of Pangu’s Primordial Spirit!"
"Correct!"
Daoist Shangqing nodded, then asked another question: "Does Taoist know what Pangu is?"
"This..."
Xu Yang’s words halted, and then he shook his head: "Please enlighten me, Taoist Master!"
"Pangu, he is the Great Dao!"
Daoist Shangqing smiled: "It is said that Golden Immortal have the power to open the heavens and create worlds, but traces of Golden Immortals are rarely seen across all heavens, even in the Great Thousand World, it is not an exception. Like the Heavenly Emperor and Mara, they are not Golden Immortals but possess the power of them, being top existences. Does Taoist know the reason for this?"
Xu Yang shook his head and frankly admitted: "I do not know!"
"It’s because it’s not easy for Golden Immortals to achieve Dao!"
Daoist Shangqing shook his head, revealing a shocking secret: "Many Heavenly Immortals, upon reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, wish to open the heavens and create worlds to achieve the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. However, they fail midway and ultimately die with their Dao dissipating."
"This..."
Xu Yang frowned, finally grasping the key point: "That so-called Pangu..."
"He is such an existence!"
Daoist Shangqing sighed softly and revealed another secret: "In the Great Thousand World, which possesses an extraordinary position, there are Innate Divine Beings, conceived in Chaos, born before heaven and earth, already possessing half of the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit at birth and carrying significant responsibilities. They must open the heavens and the earth to fully realize their fruit and become true Golden Immortals."
"Our previous incarnations, as the Three Pure Ones, were one of the Innate Divine Beings nurtured by Chaos before the birth of Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth. Originally nameless, it was named Pangu because of its Dao, representing Chaos as a chicken egg!"
"Pangu opened the heavens, the Great Dao created the world, wanting to achieve the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, but in the end, the work was almost but not completed. The heavens were opened, the Great Dao was established, yet he exhausted himself completely, eventually transforming into myriad things. His Primordial Spirit even split into three parts, creating myself and my two elder brothers, that is, the later Mystic Yellow Taoism, Pangu and the Three Pure Ones!"
Daoist Shangqing spoke softly, revealing his own origins, and also solving Xu Yang’s confusion.
"So that’s how it is!"
Xu Yang nodded, clearing up many doubts in his heart, yet many more questions arose: "If that’s the case with Taoism, then what about Buddhism..."
"I do not know about other worlds, but in our Mystic Yellow, it is the same!"
Daoist Shangqing smiled: "Within Chaos, apart from Pangu, another Innate Divine Being was nurtured, named Brahma, also possessing half of the Golden Immortal fruit. But this Sacred Being was not as inherent as Pangu and did not have the power to open the heavens and create worlds, not even able to achieve a physical form, only an indistinct Primordial Spirit emerged."
"This Primordial Spirit also perished during Pangu’s opening of the heavens and equally split into three parts, transforming into three Innate Spiritual Items in the western lands. After cultivating the Dao and establishing Buddhism, these became the three Buddha Ancestors Lamp-Burning Buddha, Tathagata, and Maitreya. They are the reincarnations of that ’Great Brahma’ just like us, Pangu and the Three Pure Ones!"
"So that’s how it is!"
Hearing this, Xu Yang suddenly understood and unraveled various doubts.
But as there are always higher heavens above, people beyond people, there are yet more clouds of doubt beyond these clouds.
"Then the Heavenly Emperor..."
"Each generation has its own talents; Innate Divine Beings may have high status, but it is not necessarily impossible for later generations to surpass them!"
Daoist Shangqing shook his head: "Although the Heavenly Emperor cultivated later on, his merits, his Dao, and his deeds are all above us, hence he is the Heavenly Emperor."
"So that’s how it is!"
Xu Yang nodded, then came up with another question: "Then what is the purpose of the Taoist Master and Primordial Lord this time..."
```
"This concerns the assault on the Three Heavens, and the decisive battle with the Desire Realm!"
Taoist Master Shangqing looked towards Xu Yang: "Presumably, Taoist already guessed that Moluo Boxun is also one of the Innate Sacred, nurtured by Chaos before the creation of the Desire Realm."
"However, this Innate Sacred is far from matching Pangu, the origin of The Three Pure Ones, not even Great Brahma, the root of the Three Buddhas. Although born innately from the primordial realm, it has always been within the fetal membrane, unable to achieve Rebirth."
"Only until Chaos split itself and the world of the Desire Realm spontaneously emerged, connecting with All Heavens and drawing the beings from Ten Thousand Realms, the endless desires finally allowed this Demon Fetus to be born and the Demon Head to be nurtured. Being Innate Sacred yet also formed by later heavens, not perishing in the creation of the universe, holding half a share of the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, it stands atop the Great Thousand!"
"How could there be such a cause!?"
After hearing the description of Taoist Master Shangqing, Xu Yang felt a measure of surprise.
Taoist Master Shangqing shook his head: "The vast majority of the Great Thousand World naturally split from Chaos, only a minority contain Innate Sacred beings. Among these rare Innate Sacred beings, even fewer could create heavens and maintain everlasting existence; therefore, even in the Great Thousand World, Golden Immortals are extremely rare."
"Though Moluo is not a Golden Immortal, he possesses the power of one. Looking across the Great Thousand World, few Immortals, Buddhas, and Divine Beings could oppose him. The Heavenly Emperor, due to fortuity, also acquired the strength of a Golden Immortal, but doesn’t have the advantage over this Demon."
"With such an anomaly in the heavens and earth creating this world, we Xuanhuang Saints might have a chance to counterattack, but no one can ensure that Boxun hasn’t made arrangements, that the Desire Realm doesn’t have a backup plan."
"So..."
Taoist Master Shangqing looked at Xu Yang: "We also need to make preparations!"
"Oh?"
Xu Yang became interested: "How shall we prepare?"
Taoist Master Shangqing gave a meaningful smile: "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, The Three Pure Ones return to One Qi. You have undertaken my brother’s Tao, do you dare to take on my brother’s responsibility?"
"Uh!?"
Xu Yang’s gaze sharpened, meeting the other’s eyes, and then he laughed: "This is Qingyang’s fortune!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing his words, Taoist Master Shangqing also broke into laughter, turning to the Golden Mother Primordial Lord and saying: "My Tao is not alone!"
...
Decades later.
In the Sky-reaching Tower, the atmosphere was tense.
"Have those bastards from the Demon Abyss gone mad?"
"With such a fierce onslaught..."
"Hmph, seeking life in the face of death, they’re just making a last stand!"
"It’s said that the Immortal God Lords of the Ninth and Tenth Order have gained an absolute advantage, about to shatter the Three Heavens and Four Realms created by the Demon Abyss. Those Demon Gods face doom and thus act in madness, even compelling middle and low-level Demon Abyss Lords to strike us with all they have at any cost."
"Looking at the situation, the moment of the final battle is upon us!"
"Damn it, why have the prices risen so much again, even the Wandao School is joining the corruption?"
"What’s so strange about that, the Palace Master of Ten Thousand Dao has entered the Tenth Order, also topping the list. The next step is to attack the Three Heavens and fight a decisive battle in the Desire Realm, mobilizing all resources is an inevitable move."
"I wonder if it can be pulled off, behind this Sky-reaching Tower and the Ten Thousand Demon Abyss..."
Rumors were afoot, swaying hearts, intensifying the scramble to buy, with countless Lords joining in the last madness.
Elsewhere, in Yu Yu Heaven, a world of Heavenly Immortals rarely reached in ten million years.
A young Taoist sat atop Kui Niu, holding Qingping, casting a cold eye over the heavens, while millions of Immortals and vast legions of Taoist Soldiers formed a Heaven-reaching Formation.
Truly it was: Clarifying the principles of earth creating and heaven opening, discussing scriptures and laws in Biyou Capital. The Five Qi facing Zhaoyuan transmitting secret arts, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top demonstrating the unbirth. Golden Light at the crown separates into five colors, Red Lotuses at the feet follow myriad paths. The Eight Diagrams Immortal Robe flies with purple Qi, the Three-Edged Treasure Sword known as Qingping. Subduing tigers and dragons foremost, capturing spirits and binding demons with ease. Disciples three thousand divided on left and right, followed by tens of thousands all elites. Flower showers descend endless wonders, Earth Gushing Golden Lotuses lengthen auspiciousness. Saving all beings attaining righteous fruit, nurturing the Righteous Path belongs to silence. Banners and flags leading the way, timely music of all sorts sounding. Kui Niu stands firm under the Sect Hierarch, Immortal Child before and after burning incense. Misty Sandalwood clouds and fog extend long, raging Killing Qi arises naturally. White Crane cries turning heaven and earth, Qingluan spreads wings clearing sea and mountains.
"Kill!!!"
With a cry, Qingping resounded, Sword Qi soared up, cleaving open the final battle.
On the other side, in the Territory World at Ten Thousand Dao Heavenly Palace, Xu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, observing the astral signs of the heavens, seeing the convergence from the eight directions, about to form ninefold, arriving at the final juncture.
Thus, without further ado, Xuanyuan rose up, Ten Thousand Dao responded, directly aiming for the Desire Realm and the Three Heavens.
