Chapter 264: Chapter 249: Discussing Luo Hou, Ultimate Sublimation (Subscription Request)_2

Devouring other Great Daos is to make the Demon Path river broader and more vast, while extending branches aims to expand the influence of the Demon Path.

At this moment, Xuanqing couldn’t help but think of Bodhisattva’s "Demon Buddha Dao," suggesting it is part of the Demon Path but conceiving it as a branch of the Buddhist path is also feasible.

Luo Hou devours various Daos with the Demon Path as the main focus, but allowing those Great Divine Ability from the Primordial World to transform into Divine Immortals or Evil Corpses to enter the Demon Realm and perceive the Demon Path, these cultivators still prioritize their own Great Daos.

For instance, the Blood Demon Path initiated by Minghe prioritizes the Blood Great Dao with the Demon Great Dao as auxiliary, which is not strictly considered pure Demon Path.

Ordinary Daos go straight forward, but Luo Hou’s Demon Path is like a river basin, radiating and expanding in all directions.

"A single principle, no matter how thick, how can it compare to a net composed of numerous principles?"

Xuanqing immediately understood Luo Hou’s thoughts.

In fact, his Refining Dao is also developing in this direction, but due to barriers in understanding, he has not yet attained a clear awareness.

Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Refining Sword, Refining Symbol, Refining Array, Refining Plague, Refining Demon, Refining Soul...

Just like his initiated Ghost Immortal Path, it seems like a branch of the Immortal Dao, but it’s actually a Soul Refining Path, constantly tempering one’s own Primordial Spirit.

"Refining Yin and Releasing Yang, from death to life, returning from annihilation, reviving from destruction, the Ghost Immortal Great Dao is actually tempering oneself through countless calamities!"

"This path seeks Nirvana, participates in Reincarnation, comprehends life and death, attests the end—just like plants thriving repeatedly within cycles of flourishing and decline!"

"Trees that stand out in the forest are bound to be destroyed by the wind, only through repeated devastation by storms, can a tender sapling grow into a towering tree unshaken by any wind!"

Having realized this, Xuanqing gained a new understanding of the Refining Dao and the Ghost Immortal Path. He could even evolve the Saint Fruit Position of the Ghost Immortal on the Refining Dao.

Ghost Immortal Saint!

Just needing an opportune moment, he can take the first step, allow Refining Dao to sublimate, reach equality with the heavens, and enable a certain Ghost Immortal to entrust their Great Dao onto his Refining Dao, becoming a Ghost Dao Saint.

"If the Ghost Immortal Path is viable, what about the Divine Immortal Path and the Tribulation Immortal Path?"

In Xuanqing’s mind, it sounded as if there was a thunderous boom of Great Daos. He was not only the ancestor of Ghost Immortals, but also Divine Immortals, and the Tribulation Ancestor who brings calamity to all beings of the Primordial.

These three Daos, theoretically, can all cultivate into Primordial Golden Immortals. If by leveraging the Refining Great Dao, it might not be impossible to go one step further, evolving within the Refining Dao a position comparable to that of a Saint.

Divine Dao Saint!

Tribulation Dao Saint!

Ghost Immortals refine the soul, Divine Immortals refine authority, and Tribulation Immortals refine the Primordial Spirit.

If Xuanqing can lead these three paths with the Refining Dao, comprehend "Equal with Heaven in Dao," within the Refining Dao he could evolve three Saint positions.

"Tai Chu had deities, deity is one with the Dao, manifesting the Great Dao through authority, refining the Innate body, playing out the Innate Dao, allowing oneself to reach equivalence with Dao."

"Great Dao immortal, Divine Immortals undying, heaven and earth everlasting, authority unceasing!"

"This is what a Divine Immortal is!"

In Xuanqing’s mind, thoughts emerged one after another: "As for the Tribulation Immortal, it is somewhat similar to the Golden Immortal, both endure oneself through countless tribulations, reaching an undying state of flesh and Primordial Spirit! However, Golden Immortals cultivate from the inside out, while Tribulation Immortals temper from the outside in."

"Thousands of tribulations, centuries of hardships, blink of an eternity; undying body, immortal soul, at the end, with just a thought one can achieve Nirvana Rebirth!"

Seeing this, Luo Hou immediately laughed and said: "Congratulations, Daoist, on your insights, just short of an opportunity to elevate your Great Dao to be Equal with Heaven!"

He could see that Xuanqing’s Great Dao was just a step away from being "Equal with Heaven."

Xuanqing then looked at Luo Hou and proposed: "Gained from books is always shallow; repeated rhetoric is not as good as practice, dare Daoist spar with me?"

He had not lacked for encounters with Luo Hou before, had fought with him when he was a Chaos Demon God, had contended while evolving calamities, and had several long-distance confrontations in the Demon Realm.

But after breaking free from shackles, he had yet to truly exchange blows with Luo Hou.

Of course, sparring was just a pretext; he was more eager to try the "Instantaneous Blossoming of Thoughts" Divine Skills, to integrate the Demon Path into his Refining Dao through this Divine Skill.

"Why would I not dare?"

Luo Hou showed a look of eagerness.

As a Demon Dao Saint, he was naturally combative and would not refuse Xuanqing’s request.

In fact, he had previously sparred with the Fate Demon God who, despite not excelling in combat and able to stand undefeated with the peculiar power of fate, could not cause serious injury to the Destruction Demon God.

Suddenly, Luo Hou seemed to think of something and quickly said, "Let’s make it clear, sparring is fine, but you cannot use the Mother-child Creation Divine Light!"

He was confident in his strength not being inferior to Xuanqing, but he was also not eager to experience pregnancy.

If previously, the "Mother-child Creation Divine Light" could still be dodged, but with Xuanqing mastering the power of fate, it now guaranteed pregnancy!

"Agreeable!"

Xuanqing promptly agreed.

This Divine Skill, though unexpected for ordinary cultivators, might not be effective against someone as ruthless as Luo Hou.

The Demon Path has always been unscrupulous.

It might well be that Luo Hou could directly refine the embryo using the Demon Path upon conceiving.

The opponent was, after all, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, who possessed the method of "Sacrifice Body and Dao," sacrificing anything and transforming it into his own strength.
