Chapter 326: Chapter 307: Strong Force Exerts Strong Luck

Let us speak of how Hong Jun took the Great Dao Law Fragment to empower the Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Supreme Elderly Lord, and how Fuxi also reaped benefits from it.

Fuxi, a genius unrivaled in ancient and modern times, had mastered the Grand Eight Trigrams Technique, arranging the void, deducing past, present, and future. Even Hong Jun admitted his inferiority to it, for Fuxi’s calculating prowess was unparalleled! Now, Wukong had mastered the Grand Yin Yang Technique and the Great Creation Technique, surpassing Fuxi’s level.

Otherwise, he absolutely would not have been able to scheme against Immortal Yang Mei, this ancient oddity who had lived for over a hundred million years.

This wily old creature seldom suffered losses—who could scheme against him? It was always he who schemed against others.

The Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Supreme Elderly Lord were already established Heavenly Dao Saints, born from the three clear breaths of Pangu’s Primordial Spirit. Now, having received the Great Dao Law Fragment from Quan Zhilong, if they could not break through to the realm of Heavenly Dao Saints, then they truly would be wastes!

"Hum!"

Upon entering the Posa Greater World, Wukong immediately felt the Heavenly Dao Laws trembling. Three Primordial Spirits flew out from within, and were imprinted within the Heavenly Dao Laws, achieving the rank of Heavenly Dao Saint, becoming eternal top existences in the Posa Greater World. Moreover, this advancement was much higher than previous realms, and they had gained a certain understanding of the Great Dao Laws. Perhaps, in a million years, they could comprehend the realm of the Great Dao Saint, and become eternal beings.

"Becoming a Great Dao Saint is truly difficult. I achieved peak existence among Heavenly Dao Saints, and only by glimpsing a strand of the Great Dao’s secret, along with the Law Fragment of Quan Zhilong—a Great Dao Saint who had lived through endless years—was I able to succeed. The Lord of Primordial Beginning and the Supreme Elderly Lord have a long journey ahead before they can become Great Dao Saints," Xuan Ming slowly said, making his way toward them.

The two had opened a Cave Abode within the void, creating a domain for cultivation there.

Wukong nodded and said, "There was once the Calamity of Meeting Yuan, the Immeasurable Calamity, which was difficult to stop. Therefore, it was virtually impossible for Heavenly Dao Saints to reach the realm of Great Dao Saints. But now, we have enough strength to preserve the Posa Greater World, ensuring that all beings do not perish and the Heavenly Dao does not die. They should be able to achieve the Great Dao Saint!"

In fact, becoming a Great Dao Saint is not too difficult, provided one doesn’t rush the process, possesses sufficient aptitude, and can glimpse the Great Dao Laws. Then, with time’s accumulation, one can definitely comprehend that realm. If not in a hundred thousand years, then a million years; if not a million, then ten million, or even a hundred million years.

"There is an ultimate number to the Heavenly Dao, which is nine. I wonder if there is also an ultimate number to the Great Dao," remarked Xuan Ming.

"The Heavenly Dao has an end, but the Great Dao is boundless. It is said there are Three Thousand Great Paths, but in truth, from my experiences with the Creation Jade Butterfly, I feel there are countless paths to enlightenment. The Great Dao likely doesn’t have an ultimate number; it is infinite, and could harbor innumerable Great Dao Saints," Wukong said slowly.

"With the Creation World being eternally indestructible, and devoid of the Immeasurable Calamity, wouldn’t that mean Heavenly Dao Saints and Great Dao Saints are abundant within it?" Xuan Ming frowned as he spoke.

"Creation can reverse the Great Dao, let alone the Heavenly Dao. Certainly, within the Creation World, there are no limits imposed by the Heavenly Dao, and moreover, it has existed for countless years. It is probably just as you said. Great Dao Saints are commonplace, and Heavenly Dao Saints are as common as dogs. However, it probably isn’t as exaggerated as that, for there can’t be so many individuals with such formidable aptitude even if all the Three Thousand Great Worlds were combined," Wukong hesitantly replied.

"Great Dao Saints commonplace, and Heavenly Dao Saints as common as dogs," Xuan Ming couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this, "What an amusing analogy."

"The Creation World is at the center of the Three Thousand Great Worlds, much like the king of your thoughts, encircled and guarded by them. Moreover, with gates of creation connecting them, any genius can, through diligent cultivation, eventually enter the gates to the Creation World, thereby avoiding the Immeasurable Calamity, and thereafter achieve eternal life," explained Wukong.

"Wherever there are people, there is conflict. They say before a Great Dao Saint, all are ants, everything is equal, but who can truly achieve this? In the Creation World, even among the four Supreme Lords of Creation, there is likely no absence of conflict. There, it is likely as it once was in the Earth Immortal Realm—overt conflicts and covert battles, experts dueling and scheming, with ceaseless warfare," Xuan Ming stated slowly.

"That is indeed possible. Once Yang Mei is slain and his Great Dao Laws are refined, and then absorbing more of the Power of Creation, I shall be able to open the passage to the Creation World. By then, I will know," said Wukong.

"We greet the Sage King and the Sage King’s spouse."

Many cultivators who saw Wukong and Xuan Ming bowed and paid their respects. They were exceedingly respectful toward Wukong—if not for him, how could they have been resurrected and lived such peaceful and prosperous lives? Now with the revival of Green Emperor Ling Weiyang, it was not suitable to address him by that title; hence, everyone referred to Wukong as the "Sage King," for he was the highest deity in the Buddhist Sect, the Turning Wheel Sage King.

"Fellow Daoists, there’s no need for such formalities, no need at all," said Wukong with a smile as he took out numerous Elixir Pills, "Take these Elixir Pills for your cultivation. With the upcoming Calamity of Meeting Yuan, we must ensure that those Heavenly Demons have no chance of returning."

The crowd was pleasantly surprised, not expecting Wukong to be so gracious and to give away such precious Elixir Pills.

These Elixir Pills had belonged to Quan Zhilong, that fellow with deep resources, but now all of it had gone to Wukong’s benefit.

After exchanging courtesies, Wukong and Xuan Ming left, heading directly to the void Cave Abode in search of Hong Jun and the others.

Hong Jun was currently instructing Lord of Primordial Beginning, Supreme Elderly Lord, and Fuxi in their cultivation, each had achieved the status of Heavenly Dao Saint. Their Primordial Spirits were entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, existing alongside this world. They still had a long way to go before reaching the level of Great Dao Saint, after all, there weren’t that many Quan Zhilong to refine and their understanding of the Great Dao Saint realm was not as profound as Xuan Ming’s.

"Very good! All three have achieved the status of Heavenly Dao Saint," Wukong couldn’t help but applaud after seeing this.

"Has Wukong refined any powerful Magical Treasures? I sense a heavy killing aura on Xuan Ming," Hong Jun said.

"Teacher, from the ’Slaughter Profound Ice Art’, I have comprehended the origin of Slaughter and cultivated the Great Slaughter Technique. Then, Wukong used Pangu’s Turbid Qi to refine a Great Slaughter War Spear for me! Have a look," Xuan Ming said, flipping her palm over, and a war spear the length of her palm appeared in the center of her hand.

Hong Jun used a technique to pluck items from the air, taking the Great Slaughter War Spear in his hand, and immediately a surge of malicious energy and killing intent rushed into his mind. However, with his profound mana, he only had to slightly circulate his Profound Skills to dissolve all the killing aura, and he exclaimed, "Such pure killing aura, truly worthy of the Great Slaughter Technique! If this killing intent were to circulate through the Posa Greater World, it would surely lead to mass destruction and the annihilation of all beings. With this Great Dao Divine Artifact and the Great Slaughter War Spear to protect you, your strength has increased considerably!"

Xuan Ming took back the Great Slaughter War Spear and smiled, "Teacher flatters me, it was just a stroke of luck to come upon this Great Slaughter Technique."

But Hong Jun said, "Strong fate for the strong! Your strong fortune indicates that you are indeed powerful. The weak will not have such good luck, and if they do, it is only to be plundered by the powerful."

"Strong fate for the strong."

Both Xuan Ming and Wukong pondered these words, indeed finding them profoundly true.

This world was never fair; the bold thrive while the timid starve. The strong get stronger, the weak get weaker!

The way of heaven takes from those with surplus to support those without; the way of man does the opposite, supporting those with surplus at the expense of those without.

The Heavenly Dao balances what is excessive and what is lacking, while the Human Path does the reverse, leading to a severe polarization where the strong grow ever stronger, with great fortune, and the weak grow weaker, their fortune waning. Fortune only favors the prepared and the strong; it is not something just anyone can grasp.

"These four words perfectly capture the essence of ’fortune’! The Hong Jun Taoist Patriarch, having lived so long, sees through to the heart of this matter so thoroughly, I truly feel humility," Wukong said, his respect evident as those four words exquisitely explicated the concept of fortune.

Both Lord of Primordial Beginning and Laozi savored the words for their truth, and Fuxi, with his eyes slightly closed, seemed deep in thought, clearly understanding the principle as well.

"This time, I clashed with Immortal Yang Mei again, and took some injuries, though I inflicted more severe wounds on him. I absorbed some of the Creation Qi from the Creation Jade Butterfly, making significant advancements in my cultivation. Yet, I still struggled to best him. Had I not planned accurately, I would likely have been defeated," Wukong recounted.

"Oh? You encountered him again, he has become so strong... He will not let matters rest, take care to avoid the calamity of Yuan. Hopefully, Di Jun and Tong Tian will be able to revive soon," Hong Jun remarked.

Indeed, they were quite fortunate; during the calamity of Yuan, Immortal Yang Mei made a miscalculation during a crucial period in his secluded meditation. Otherwise, he would have long since devoured them along with the Great Dao Demon Gods, becoming an entity that could turn the clouds with a flip of the hand, overturn rain with a cover, an existence to overturn the Great Dao.

"I have my own plans for this matter. Once Di Jun and Tong Tian revive, the calamity of Yuan can be resolved. I’ve used the Great Yin Yang Technique to conceal Xuan Ming’s aura of the Great Dao Saint, preventing the Great Dao Principles from detecting it. In some time, I will use the Turning Wheel Sage King’s Namo Amitabha Great Method, and the Great Dao Principles will also have difficulty sensing my presence. Therefore, when the Great Dao Principles trigger the Immeasurable Calamity, it should only be those four Demon Gods. By then, Xuan Ming will be hidden in the shadows, we’ll take care of the Demon Gods, and the moment Immortal Yang Mei makes a move, Xuan Ming will strike him with a surprise attack, making him suffer!" Wukong said with a smile.

"Hmm... that’s a good plan," Hong Jun nodded slightly. "With your strength, dealing with the Great Dao Demon Gods should be simple. Join the battlefield directly and, together with Xuan Ming, eliminate Immortal Yang Mei. I too will quickly handle the Demon God I must face. Joining forces, Yang Mei will surely die."

Wukong’s strategic ability had surpassed that of Fuxi, which is why he instructed Xuan Ming to keep her cultivation concealed from the Great Dao Principles. Once he performed the Namo Amitabha Great Method, the Great Dao Principles would believe he was completely obliterated, killed by someone, no longer in existence, and thus would not birth a fifth Demon God.

As a result, there would still be only four Demon Gods, but the Posa Greater World would have five Great Dao Saints!

Fuxi also smiled and said, "What a good plan!"
