Chapter 815: Chapter 834 Bodhi Dialogue

“Let me first answer your second question. The Undying Immortal Scripture is not a Three Realms Technique; it originates from the Chaos, and was not created by the Primordial Spirit.”

Master Puti finally spoke, answering Ye Xuan’s second question, then looked at Ye Xuan solemnly and said, “As for the method of proving the Dao with power, I can tell you a secret that even the Saints do not know.”

“I humbly ask for your guidance, Master,” Ye Xuan bowed again, his expression becoming extremely solemn, because this was crucial for his future cultivation path.

“In the Heaven and Earth of the Three Realms, no one has ever walked the path of proving the Dao with power. Even my disciple Wukong abandoned this path, and you must already know about this.”

“The one who truly walked this path was the Pangu God. He followed the method of proving the Dao with power, but ultimately, he also failed, and all his cultivation turned into the myriad things of Heaven and Earth.”

“The so-called Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations is just a general term. In reality, one must endure nine deaths and nine births to attain the position of a Saint.” Master Puti murmured softly.

“Do you mean to say that the Pangu God of old was not a Saint?” Ye Xuan’s expression changed dramatically, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes, clearly unable to believe the secrets Master Xu Puti revealed.

“Indeed, during the Ninth Tribulation of the Heavenly Dao, the Pangu God failed in the Ninth Tribulation. It was because of his failure to cross the tribulation that the Primordial Heaven and Earth were born. Therefore, Pangu was not a Saint. If spoken frankly, Pangu was just a Quasi-Saint.” Master Puti stated firmly.

“Nine lives and nine deaths, tribulations descend upon oneself; only by breaking the cycle of life and death, and with one power breaking all laws, can one truly transcend and become the Saint among Saints.” Master Puti sighed deeply.

“The so-called Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations are not truly tribulations imposed on you by the Heavenly Dao. Each of the nine tribulations is different, but they share one common characteristic—that is to face death and then find life.”

“Nine revolutions of life and death, reversing the cosmos, so the path of sainthood through power is also called the Nine Revolutions to Sainthood.” Master Puti whispered heavily.

“To face death and then find life? The Nine Revolutions to Sainthood?”

Ye Xuan murmured to himself, suddenly recalling when he was transformed by the Western Two Saints, he was already facing a certain-death situation, which was his Heavenly Dao’s First Tribulation.

“Thank you, Master, I understand now.”

Ye Xuan’s thoughts returned, his eyes gradually becoming clear. With Master Puti’s guidance today, he finally had a new understanding of the Heavenly Dao Nine Tribulations, and this would make his future cultivation path clearer.

Seeing the excitement on Ye Xuan’s face, Master Puti shook his head slightly, with a hint of regret and a trace of pity in his eyes. Although these emotions flashed by, they were still keenly captured by Ye Xuan.

“Why did you sigh, Master?” Ye Xuan asked softly.

“Alas!”

Master Puti sighed deeply and then looked at Ye Xuan, saying, “You appear to be on the path of proving Dao with power, but in the end, you are just making a wedding dress for someone else. It is a pity that your journey will ultimately lead to a soul-scattering end.”

“The Primordial Spirit, right?” Ye Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly, having already guessed the meaning behind Xu Puti’s words.

“In the beginning of one yuan, all things have spirits. The name ‘Primordial Spirit’ is just his delusion. Your achievements today are also due to him. Without the Primordial Spirit, there would be no Ye Xuan. You owe him a great debt of karma, so much that you need to repay it with your life.” Master Xu Puti sighed deeply.

Hearing Master Xu Puti’s words, Ye Xuan fell silent. At his current realm, even without Master Xu Puti telling him, he had already sensed the karmic bond between him and the Primordial Spirit.

Ye Xuan understood clearly that in his youth, if not for the appearance of the Primordial Spirit, he would have already become a pile of bones. Those four years on the Blood Sea Battlefield entirely changed him, and it could be said that his cultivation was a gift from the Primordial Spirit.

As the saying goes, the cycle of karma, whether grace or tribulation, needs to be repaid. This is also the law of karma, and even if he becomes the Saint among Saints, he cannot escape the power of causality because this is the truth of all heavens and worlds.

“Tell me, who is the true self of the Primordial Spirit?” Ye Xuan asked solemnly, his eyes fixated on Master Xu Puti, as this was the question he most wanted to know.

“He came from the Chaos, seeking immortality here. I do not know who he is, but since the Primordial Beginning to the present, behind every major calamity of Heaven and Earth, there has been his shadow.” Master Puti sighed deeply.

“I find it strange that even Saints do not know of his existence. Why do you specifically know of his existence? This is probably not that simple, is it?” Ye Xuan pressed sharply.

“Chaos births, Heaven and Earth open, I was just a Bodhi Tree in the Chaos. Although my spiritual wisdom was ignorant back then, I retained some memories from the Chaos. The existence of the Primordial Spirit predates even the Pangu God; he is a figure from the Chaos. If you truly want to know his identity, perhaps only by reversing time and space and looking for his true self before the opening of Heaven and Earth.” Master Puti smiled self-deprecatingly.

Hearing Master Puti’s words, Ye Xuan pondered deeply. The Primordial Spirit grew even more mysterious in his heart; a creature more ancient than the Pangu God, this person was far too frightening.

“Young friend, if you heed my advice, if you want to escape his manipulations, abandon your cultivation of the Undying Immortal Scripture, sever all karma with him. Only then can you escape from his grasp, or else even if you achieve sainthood in the future, he will demand karma from you, and your ultimate fate will be to make a wedding dress for him.”

Master Xu Puti earnestly advised Ye Xuan, as this was the only way for him to break free from the Primordial Spirit.

“Abandon the Undying Immortal Scripture, become a mortal, and walk the cultivation path again?” Ye Xuan murmured to himself, a self-mocking smile curving at the corners of his mouth.

“Impossible!”

Suddenly, Ye Xuan’s expression turned cold, his words firm and resolute.

If it had been when he just became an Immortal, he might have accepted Master Xu Puti’s suggestion, but now that he had come this far, his path was as treacherous as walking on thin ice, constantly facing the danger of death. If he abandoned the Undying Immortal Scripture now, he would not even have the chance to walk the cultivation path again and would soon perish between Heaven and Earth.

Nuwa and the Primordial wanted to kill him, the Western Two Saints were scheming against him, the Thirty-Three Layered Heavenly Court awaited his return, and various Daoist sects were hostile toward him. If he lost his cultivation, how could he face these challenges?

“Young friend, take care of yourself, my words end here.” Master Xu Puti shook his head in disappointment. Since Ye Xuan was unwilling to abandon the Undying Immortal Scripture, it meant his future was doomed to an unfortunate end, and no amount of persuasion would change this.
