Chapter 311: Chapter 295: Wukong Creates Worlds and Resolves Yin and Yang

Wukong found himself unable to defeat the old Daoist, and to avoid any unforeseen mishaps, he was forced to flee using an escape technique.

When a Great Dao Sage employs an escape technique, they can blink across billions of miles in an instant, let alone when they use the Reincarnation World for flight. Over these three years, Wukong had flown countless googol light-years. If a Heavenly Dao Saint were to undertake such a flight, it’s hard to know how long it would take.

"Phew!" Wukong exhaled deeply, "As the Turning Wheel Sage King, I thought I was invincible under the heavens, with one quadrillion two hundred and ninety-six billion Primordial Spirit Thoughts. Unexpectedly, this old Daoist is even more formidable, incredibly powerful. Despite being ambushed by my Seven Treasures Dharma Wheel, he’s still ferocious, matching me blow for blow, making it difficult to resolve our battle."

Wukong and the old Daoist had been clashing for nine days straight, using various techniques, but neither could gain the upper hand over the other. Moreover, eerily enough, the old Daoist seemed to master "great" Dao techniques. Perhaps he had devoured some Great Dao Demon Gods with his Great Devouring Technique! Truly terrifying.

"Never mind him, when the three Saints awaken and join forces with me, this person will surely have no chance of return!" Wukong said.

As a Great Dao Sage who does not entangle with karma, Wukong wasn’t worried that the old Daoist could calculate his whereabouts. But now, setting up the Four Symbols Great Array to obscure the Great Dao Principles, the fourth Demon God could sense it too. After all, it was within the realm of the Heavenly Dao Saint that Wukong had entangled with his karma. With a little calculation, he could figure it out.

He released the new world from the Reincarnation Disk, casting various talismans to pull the surrounding Chaos Qi over and shroud the whole world within it. Only then did Wukong tear apart the Heavenly Dao Laws to enter the new world.

This new world had been expanded by the Great Dao Golden Lotus and then split open by the revolutionary axe within the Great Revolution Seal with one Strike of Opening the Heavens, making it far more stable than the world Pangu had created!

However, within this new world, the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire were extremely chaotic, assaulting everything in their path, causing even Wukong to feel physical pain.

No wonder the Taoist Patriarch Hong Jun had to suppress these chaotic elements after splitting Heaven and Earth and couldn’t spare a moment to attend to anything else. Wukong had wondered just how formidable these elements could be, but now he finally understood! The elements of earth, water, wind, and fire are the fundamental building blocks of creation, the very foundation of Heaven and Earth. Now they were blended together, constantly exploding, generating violent gales and air currents, capable of tearing apart a Heavenly Dao Saint.

"Fortunately, I am the Victorious Fighting Buddha! I shall command earth, water, wind, fire." Wukong brought his hands together in prayer, as the Victorious Fighting Buddha manifested.

"Boundless, untroubled!" The Victorious Fighting Buddha raised one hand and formed a Dharma Seal, "Earth, water, wind, fire, heed my command! The heavens as the furnace, the earth as the fire, solidify the cosmic cauldron!"

The Victorious Fighting Buddha ascended, using Great Magical Power to construct the Thirty-Three Heavens. Sitting in meditation at the very center of the universe, with hands joined, the Seven Treasure Dharma Wheel emitted intense bursts of light, which pressed down, causing the entire universe to flicker with light. The chaotic elements were slowly separated.

Together, they possessed tremendous power that could severely injure a Heavenly Dao Saint if they exploded.

This was the raw essence of a world—not the tame elements governed by Hong Jun, but the wildest forces from the act of Splitting Heaven and Earth, beyond the resistance of ordinary beings.

Surrounded by endless earth, water, wind, and fire, Wukong was bombarded by the world’s ferocious essence, yet not a single hair on his head could be split. The pores on his skin opened, absorbing this fundamental source of Heaven and Earth. At this moment, the mingling of elements created chaos, reversing the cosmos as they churned together.

"Splitting Heaven and Earth indeed has tremendous benefits! This is a most marvelous Path!" Wukong couldn’t help but exclaim.

Splitting Heaven and Earth allowed him to experience the wonder of the birth of a world, the evolution of all things—an extremely mystical sensation not everyone had the chance to feel. Just as Hong Jun stood at the pinnacle among the Great Dao Sages because of this experience, now there were Wukong and the mysterious old Daoist as well.

Wukong attentively perceived the mysteries of the world being opened up, realizing that everything was an origin, derived from Chaos, a state known as "The Beginning."

"Separate Yin and Yang, evolve the Tai Chi! From the two energies of Yin and Yang, the cosmos takes birth; lone Yin does not thrive, lone Yang does not bring forth. Yin and Yang in harmony, perpetuate endlessly; my left hand holds Supreme Yin, my right hand Supreme Yang. Transmute my physical body, split Yin and Yang!" Wukong’s eyes shone with clarity as he spoke slowly.

This was an extremely profound incantation he derived from observing the state of "The Beginning." Then his head rose to the Thirty-Three Heavens, and his feet descended to the Nine Netherworlds. A black qi manifested over his left hand, and a white qi over his right, representing the two energies of Yin and Yang.

The Dao births one—this one is a single thread of life.

One gives birth to two—this two is the energies of Yin and Yang.

Two gives birth to three—this three is Heaven, Earth, and Man, the Three Powers.

With Three Powers, thus, all things emanate!

This was the mystery of creation, now fully comprehended by Wukong, its secrets unfolding before his eyes as Heaven and Earth seemed to be consumed by black and white.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha steadied earth, water, wind, and fire, letting them return to their rightful places, while Wukong stabilized Heaven, Earth, and the two energies of Yin and Yang.

His body served as a dividing line between Yin and Yang, which then began to rotate and nourish each other.

"Hum hum hum!"

The Great Dao Principles trembled, exuding breaths of life.

"When Yin and Yang unite, all beings evolve! The Grand Yin Yang Technique!" At that moment, Wukong merged the two energies into one.

He had grasped the mysteries of the Grand Yin Yang Technique! Theoretically, the "great" Dao techniques were inaccessible to those without the Innate Taoist Body, but like Xuan Ming, who had penetrated the mysteries of reincarnation and learned the Great Reincarnation Technique, Wukong had penetrated the origin of Yin and Yang during creation, and thus mastered the Grand Yin Yang Technique.

While Wukong’s body contained Three Thousand Great Paths, among them naturally the path of Yin and Yang, he could only understand it superficially, achieving mere crude completion. Only now did he truly comprehend and thoroughly perceive the profound mystery of the path of Yin and Yang—it is the ultimate existence! Having grasped the most potent existence, he naturally could wield the "Great" Dao Technique.

The "Great" Dao Technique of the Great Dao Demon God was absolutely no match for the one he had come to understand, for the Demon God’s Dao Techniques were granted by the Great Dao Principles, bestowed by another, and could never be as formidable as those realized on one’s own! This was what Fuxi meant 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 grow powerful, for what others bestow is ultimately nothing but crooked devilry, incomparable to one’s own essence.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha brought his palms together, and immeasurable Buddha Light shone forth as the Seven Treasure Dharma Wheel was simultaneously deployed, casting its radiance into the Yin and Yang energies.

"Great Yin Yang Technique, giving rise to all things!" Wukong roared loudly.

"I say, let there be light!"

And so, there was the sun in the heavens and the earth.

"I say, let there be water!"

And so, there were lakes and oceans in the heavens and the earth.

"I say, let there be life!"

And so the rain fell, nourishing the soil, and Wukong used his own Essence Blood to condense a seed of life, burying it in the very center of the world.

Earth, water, wind, fire gradually stabilized, but the Victorious Fighting Buddha had to continue to suppress them, integrating this wild primal source thoroughly into the world. It would take no less than ten thousand years; opening and stabilizing a world was not so simple. The more powerful the world is, the more violent its earth, water, wind, and fire, and this world is far more mighty than the one Pangu had opened, hence the earth, water, wind, and fire were turbulent and chaotic, needing great magical power to suppress.

"Life, unceasing life! Great Reincarnation Technique, Green Emperor Ling Weiyang, reincarnate!"

The Great Dao Golden Lotus, which was transformed from the Green Lotus of Ling Weiyang, contained the aura of Ling Weiyang. When deployed, the operation of the Great Reincarnation Technique actually resurrected the Green Emperor.

A towering Green Lotus sprouted at the world’s center, and slowly from within the Green Lotus emerged a figure clad in green, his visage handsome, dignified in bearing, face like jade, resembling a scholar yet possessing an air of superiority that commanded respect.

"How have I come back to life?" Ling Weiyang suddenly furrowed his brow.

"Green Emperor, it is because I have Split Heaven and Earth anew, comprehended the Great Reincarnation Technique, and transferred your essence from the Green Lotus into reincarnation, bringing you into this world," Wukong explained.

Ling Weiyang saw that he was resurrected but neither rejoiced nor grieved; having experienced great life and death, great destruction, he had long come to terms with all things.

"Now I am born the Green Emperor, and with my presence, plants and trees shall blossom everywhere!" Ling Weiyang formed a spell with his hands, dividing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, and plants and forests began to flourish anew.

The Green Emperor, master of the seasons, master of all flora.

Thus, Huang Chao wrote a poem that went: "If in another life I become the Green Emperor, I will make the peach blossoms bloom everywhere."

Wukong nodded and said, "Good, very good! With the burgeoning of flora, the world has gained vitality. I will continue to apply the Great Reincarnation Technique to revive all those who died in the Earth Immortal Realm."

Ling Weiyang asked, "How do you possess such an ability?"

Wukong sighed, "It is because Xuan Ming merged everyone’s True Spirits and essences into reincarnation, and I have completely penetrated the profound mystery of the path of reincarnation, comprehending the Great Reincarnation Technique. I can use magical power to bring back those who have died into this world! Such a method goes against nature and consumes an extensive amount of magical power, but it’s not an issue, as we are quite safe within this Yuan meeting."

Ling Weiyang responded, "With a Yuan’s time for the world to recuperate and proliferate, it will naturally recover and be prepared for the Yuan’s tribulations."

Wukong said, "Indeed, but within this Chaotic World there exists a being even more powerful; still, we must be cautious. However, with the Victorious Fighting Buddha here, we can just manage to maintain the safety of this new world."

Ling Weiyang said, "Good."

Wukong raised his hand and delineated the four major territories, saying, "This is the new world, henceforth named the Posa Greater World. It is divided into four regions - the North, South, West, and East; named VLOOKUP(A103,[1]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,0), Southern Ch’en part Continent, Western Niu He Continent, and Eastern Victorious Divine Continent!"

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

Wukong rubbed his hands together, summoning the Reincarnation Disk, and exclaimed, "Great Reincarnation Technique! One Qi becomes Two Purities!"

The Three Pure Ones, gone in silence, only gave rise to the Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Supreme Elderly Lord.

Thus, two wisps of Pure Qi rose forth, and they became the Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Supreme Elderly Lord, yet the two were exceedingly weak, merely Primordial Golden Immortals. To return to their former pinnacle would require great effort; without thousands of years of arduous cultivation, it was impossible.
