Chapter 309: Chapter 294: Wukong Creates Worlds and Resolves Yin and Yang

Wukong, unable to defeat the ancient Taoist and fearing the unforeseeable, had no choice but to flee.

When a Great Dao Sage deployed an escape technique, they could traverse billions of miles in the blink of an eye, to say nothing of using the Reincarnation World to fly. Over these three years, it was impossible to know how many trillion light-years he had flown. If a Heavenly Dao Saint were to fly this way, it was hard to imagine how long it might take.

"Whew!" Wukong let out a long sigh, "Having attained the status of Turning Wheel Sage King, I thought myself invincible under heaven. With one quadrillion two hundred ninety-six billion Primordial Spirit Thoughts, who would have thought this old Taoist could be so formidable and mighty? Despite my sneak attack with the Seven Treasures Dharma Wheel, he remains so fierce, matching me blow for blow, making it difficult to determine a victor."

Wukong and this old Taoist had battled for nine days, using every trick in the book. Yet none could gain the upper hand over the other. What’s more mysterious was that the old Taoist even practiced ’Great’ Dao Technique, and he probably devoured some Great Dao Demon Gods with his Great Devouring Technique! It was truly terrifying.

"Forget about him. When the three Saints revive, the four of us together will ensure he has no way to return!" Wukong said.

Since a Great Dao Sage didn’t entangle themselves in karma, Wukong wasn’t worried that the old Taoist could calculate his whereabouts. Now, if he set up the Four Symbols Great Array to conceal the Great Dao Principles, even the fourth demon god would be able to sense it, after all. Wukong had tangled with his karma at the realm of the Heavenly Dao Saint, and with a bit of calculation, he could figure it out.

Having released the new world from the Great Reincarnation Disk, he cast out talismans one after another, pulling in the surrounding Chaos Qi to cover the entire world within it. Only then did Wukong tear through the Heavenly Dao laws to enter the new world.

This new world was supported by the Great Dao Golden Lotus and then opened with the revolutionary ax from the Great Revolution Seal, far more stable than the world Pangu had created!

However, the new world was also in utter elemental chaos, with earth, water, wind, and fire raging towards him so violently that even Wukong felt physical pain.

No wonder that after Hong Jun Taoist Patriarch split Heaven and Earth, he was busy suppressing these elements and couldn’t spare his effort elsewhere. Wukong used to wonder how formidable earth, water, wind, and fire could be. Now, he had finally witnessed it! These were the foundations of creation, the base of Heaven and Earth. Now mixed together, they constantly exploded, causing gusts and currents that could tear apart a Heavenly Dao Saint.

"Thankfully, I am the Victorious Fighting Buddha! Suppress earth, water, wind, and fire." Wukong pressed his hands together, and the image of the Victorious Fighting Buddha emerged.

"Free from calamities and immeasurable!" The Victorious Fighting Buddha stood with one hand raised, forming a Dharma Seal, "Earth, water, wind, and fire, heed my command! The vast sky is the furnace, the great earth is the fire, stabilize the crucible of Heaven and Earth!"

The Victorious Fighting Buddha ascended, using Great Magical Power to build the Thirty-Three Heavens above. Within this universe, he sat at the very center, his hands joined together as the Seven Treasures Dharma Wheel emitted intense bursts of light, then pressed down to suppress the chaos. The light flickered, illuminating the entire cosmos and gradually separating the rampant elements.

Together, they had an extremely powerful force, and if unleashed, even a Heavenly Dao Saint would be grievously wounded!

This was the origin of the world, not the tamed earth, water, wind, and fire that Hong Jun had fixed. It was not to be manipulated at will.

This was the most ferocious power, stemming from Splitting Heaven and Earth, not something ordinary beings could withstand.

In the midst of unending elemental chaos, the rampant raw forces battered against him, but they couldn’t even slice a single hair on Wukong’s body. The pores of his skin opened, absorbing the source of Heaven and Earth. Amidst the chaos, as cosmos was inverted and mixed together.

"Splitting Heaven and Earth really has enormous benefits! This is indeed a profound and wondrous path!" Wukong couldn’t help but exclaim.

This sensation of witnessing the birth of a world, the evolution of all things, was an extraordinarily divine feeling that not everyone had the chance to experience. It was precisely these sensations that allowed Hong Jun to stand at the peak realm among Great Dao Sages. But now, Wukong and the mysterious old Taoist had emerged.

Wukong keenly felt the mysteries of a world being created, everything originated, all evolved from Chaos. This state was called — Primeval!

"Divide yin and yang, evolve Tai Chi! Yin and Yang give rise to the universe; solitude of yin won’t grow, solitude of yang won’t birth. Yin and Yang together last forever; left hand Supreme Yin, right hand Supreme Yang. Transform my body, separate yin from yang!" Wukong’s eyes were a clear expanse as he slowly pronounced these words.

This was an extremely profound chant that he derived from observing this "Primeval" state. Then he saw his head pushed against the Thirty-Three Heavens above and his feet stamping into the Nine Nether below. Afterwards, his left hand manifested black qi, while his right hand manifested white qi, representing the dual energies of yin and yang.

The Dao produces one; this one represents a single strand of life force.

One produces two; these two are the dual energies of yin and yang.

Two produce three; these three are Heaven, Earth, and Man — the Three Powers.

With the Three Powers, hence, all things are created!

These were the profound mysteries of creation, now understood thoroughly by Wukong, imprinting them into his vision, as if black and white dominated both Heaven and Earth.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha kept earth, water, wind, and fire in their proper places, while Wukong secured the cosmos and the dual energies of yin and yang.

Right yang, left yin; his body turned into a line that separated yin and yang. Then, yin and yang rotated, nourishing each other.

"Oom oom oom!"

The Great Dao Principles trembled, emitting breaths that hinted at the scent of life.

"Yin and Yang converge to create all things! The Great Yin Yang Technique!" At this moment, Wukong merged the two energies of yin and yang into one.

He comprehended the mysteries of the Grand Yin Yang Technique! Conventionally, "Great" Dao Technique couldn’t be obtained by anyone without an Innate Taoist Body, but like Xuan Ming who understood the Profound Mystery of reincarnation and comprehended the Great Reincarnation Technique, Wukong, through creating a world and understanding yin and yang, also realized the Grand Yin Yang Technique.

Although Wukong had mastered Three Thousand Great Paths, including the path of Yin and Yang within them, he had not grasped them thoroughly, only achieving a superficial perfection. Only today did he truly comprehend, truly perceive the mysteries of the path of Yin and Yang, the ultimate existence! Now that he understood the most crucial existence, he naturally could execute the "grand" Dao Technique.

The "grand" Dao Technique of the Great Dao Demon God was definitely not as formidable as the one he had comprehended himself, because the Dao Techniques of the Demon God were endowed by the Great Dao Principles. Techniques given by others could never be as powerful as the ones comprehended by oneself! This is what Fuxi said in "The Book of Changes": "As heaven’s movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strengthen himself!" Only through self-strengthening can one truly become strong, what others give is ultimately a distorted and evil path, incomparable to one’s own achievements.

With his palms joined together, the Victorious Fighting Buddha unleashed the Immeasurable Buddha’s Light and the Seven Treasure Dharma Wheel all at once, illuminating them amidst the Yin and Yang Qi.

"Great Yin Yang Technique, give birth to all things!" Wukong exclaimed.

"I decree, let there be light!"

And so, there was a sun in heaven and earth.

"I decree, let there be water!"

And so, there were lakes and seas in heaven and earth.

"I decree, let there be life!"

Then the rain fell, moisturizing the land. Wukong condensed a life seed from his own Essence Blood and buried it at the very center of the world.

The elements of earth, water, wind, and fire gradually stabilized, but the Victorious Fighting Buddha still had to continue suppressing them, thoroughly melding this wild and primal force into the world. This process alone would take at least ten thousand years. Opening up and stabilizing a world was not so simple. The stronger the world, the more wild and chaotic its elemental forces. This world was far superior to the one Pangu had created, thus its elemental forces were exceptionally violent and chaotic, demanding Great Magical Power and worldly efforts to suppress.

"Birth, endless birth!!! The Great Reincarnation Technique, Ling Weiyang, the Green Emperor, Reincarnate!"

The Great Dao Golden Lotus, transformed from Ling Weiyang’s Green Lotus, which still contained Ling Weiyang’s aura, now employed the Great Reincarnation Technique. Surprisingly, it allowed the Green Emperor to resurrect.

A towering Green Lotus sprouted at the center of the world, and slowly a man emerged from within the lotus. He was dressed in green, handsome and majestic, with a face like fine jade. He seemed like a scholar, yet possessed a commanding aura that made people look up to him.

"How have I come back to life?" Ling Weiyang suddenly frowned.

"Green Emperor, I have restarted the process of splitting heaven and earth, comprehended the Great Reincarnation Technique, and sent your aura into the wheel of reincarnation from within the Green Lotus, reincarnating you into this world," Wukong said.

Ling Weiyang, witnessing his own resurrection, was neither overjoyed nor sorrowful. Having experienced the great cycle of life and death, and profound obliteration, he had long seen through everything.

"Now that I am reborn as the Green Emperor, under my rule, all plants shall flourish!" Ling Weiyang shaped a spell with his hands, dividing the spring, summer, autumn, and winter seasons, and all manner of flora began to grow.

The Green Emperor held dominion over the seasons and all plant life.

Therefore, Huang Chao wrote in his poem, "If one day I become the Green Emperor, I will decree the peach blossoms to bloom everywhere."

Wukong nodded and said, "Good, very good! With all plants flourishing, the world has its own vitality. I will continue using the Great Reincarnation Technique to revive all those who died in the Earth Immortal Realm."

Ling Weiyang asked, "How do you possess such means?"

Wukong sighed, "Xuan Ming fused everyone’s True Spirits and aura into the wheel of reincarnation, yet I have thoroughly penetrated the mysteries of the path of reincarnation and comprehended the Great Reincarnation Technique. I can use Magical Power to reincarnate the dead into this world! This method is defying the heavens and consumes a vast amount of Magical Power, but no matter, we are quite safe within this Yuan meeting."

Ling Weiyang said, "With one Yuan’s time for the world to recuperate and grow, it will naturally be able to recover and prepare for the tribulations of the Yuan’s meeting."

Wukong said, "True, but within this Chaotic World, there exists a being even more powerful, and we must be cautious in dealing with it. However, with the Victorious Fighting Buddha here, we can just about ensure the safety of this new world."

Ling Weiyang said, "Good."

Wukong raised his hand and delineated the four great regions, saying, "This is the new world, and it shall be named the Posa Greater World. It is divided into the East, South, West, and North four continents, called the Northern Jambudvipa, Southern Jambudvipa, Western Jambudvipa, and Eastern Divine Land!"

Ling Weiyang said, "Good, a new world should indeed have a new name."

Wukong rubbed his hands together, and the Reincarnation Disk materialized. He declared, "Great Reincarnation Technique! One breath turns into dual purity!"

The Three Pure Ones, silent in Heaven’s tranquility, could only produce the Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Supreme Elderly Lord.

Two globes of pure Qi then rose, transforming into the Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Supreme Elderly Lord, but both were exceedingly weak, merely Primordial Golden Immortals. It would require an immense effort to return to their former peaks, and without tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, it could not be done.
