Chapter 22 The Appointed Heavenly Saint

When boundless good fortune suddenly descended, not to mention Taihao, even Hongjun, who was very confident in proving the Tao, was stunned at this moment.

How could it become like this?
What happened to your resolve to attain enlightenment in chaos?

Why is all the luck going to you now?

Although Hongjun also gained a lot of luck, it depends on who he is compared with. If it is Taihao, then it is really not worth mentioning at all.

The two are not of the same magnitude.

To the extent that Taihao developed a feeling that he could rely on luck to prove his truth, but Hongjun felt nothing.

Speaking of which, if Hongjun had not seen many storms and waves, he would probably not be able to remain calm now, and might even say to Taihao, “You plotted against me!” or something like that.

At this moment, Hongjun felt indescribable bitterness in his heart.

“What the hell?”

“Is this officially decided?”

“But I really don’t want to be a Heavenly Saint!”

Taihao, whose luck was still increasing, was suddenly in a state of confusion.

At the same time, he had to be as firm as possible in his determination to cultivate the Tao, in case his luck suddenly surged and he couldn’t help but raise his realm to the level of Hunyuan, which means to achieve enlightenment through luck.

The reason is very simple, because his Tao is not about being a saint of heaven, but about transcending chaos.

That is why at this moment, Taihao is trying so hard to suppress his luck and stabilize his heart of Tao.

It’s a pity that when his luck reaches a certain level, even if he doesn’t want to improve his realm, his strength will gradually increase.

“Is there still such a thing?”

Taihao was shocked, because in an instant, his strength increased four or five times compared to before, and he had no intention of stopping, and no one knew when he would stop.

It seems that he really wants to push him to the level of Hunyuan before stopping.

“I may be the first monk in history to be forced to attain enlightenment. What does the Heavenly Dao want to do?”

It is interesting to say that the luck and enlightenment that so many living beings long for, when they come to Taihao, instead of making him excited, they give him a headache.

The luck that all living beings regarded as a fairy grass was no different from the poisonous grass in Taihao’s eyes! He was eager to break free from the luck and walk his own path, instead of relying on this method, relying on shortcuts, to break through to Hunyuan!

“This is not my way!”

“Since the luck refuses to dissipate and insists on raising my realm, then if I can raise my strength a little, I will burn a little of my cultivation to polish my body, my blood, and my soul!”

At this moment, Taihao thought it through.

His determination to pursue the Tao is more resolute than ever before.

Then in the next moment, Taihao’s realm and strength fluctuated, his body was burning, his blood was boiling, and his soul was being tempered.

Then, his true spirit transformed!

Transform into the Yuan Ling that only Hunyuan can have!

Immortal Spirit!

What is the true spirit?

This is an immortal spiritual light that can only be born after transcending the two long rivers of time and fate.

In other words, only Daluo can give birth to a true spirit!
Why is it said that Daluo is immortal?

Infinite lifespan is only one aspect, and it is not an important factor.

Because let alone the Daluo Golden Immortal, even if it is just a Golden Immortal, it can be said that one can live as long as the heaven and earth and be immortal.

But the Golden Immortals have to go through catastrophes. Even if the great catastrophe does not come, there are still the lesser heavens and the five decays of mankind waiting for them, so it is far from being transcendent. Although the Daluo Golden Immortals cannot escape the great catastrophe, they possess true spirits and are fundamentally different from the Golden Immortals.

why?
Because relying on the true spirit can lead to rebirth!

And he was reborn before the cycle of reincarnation began!

Although rebirth is difficult and there is a high probability that one will lose memories of the previous life after rebirth, it can even be said that one has become a completely different person.

But in essence, the monk who achieved Daluo was not dead, he was still alive!
Just in another form, or with another person?

Possessing this immortal spiritual light, that is, the true spirit, can ensure its long-term existence even in the reincarnation that will appear in the future.

Unless a great Hunyuan-level being takes action, or possesses a precious treasure that can extinguish the spiritual light, there will be no change regardless of reincarnation a thousand times, ten thousand times, or more.

In ancient history, Dong Wanggong and Di Jun had a conflict and then were defeated.

But his true spirit did not dissipate, so he was able to be reborn and reincarnated again and again, even though Di Jun and Tai Yi were dead, he was still alive in another form and became the later Pure Yang Zhenren Lu Dongbin.

In the history of prehistoric times, such existence and such examples are not uncommon.

Not only Dong Wanggong, but also Fuxi.

Therefore, we can also see how great the sacrifices made by the ancestors of the dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes were.

They sacrificed their true spirits, which was equivalent to giving up the chance of eternal life. But for the continuation of their race, they still chose to do so.

At this moment, time and space, fate, cause and effect, creation and destruction…all lost their meaning.

Taihao didn’t know how long he had been in this state.

It seemed like just a moment, but also like a billion eras had passed.

When he recovered from this mysterious state, his Law of Fire was perfected, the Law of Time and the Law of Cause and Effect had reached the later stages, and even the Law of Force, which had been difficult to make progress, had broken through to a level that was almost the same as the Law of Time and Cause and Effect!
“Is this the Great Dao? Even a glimpse of it can bring me such a harvest! What if I can immerse myself in it and cultivate for dozens of kalpas, or even longer…”

……

“Not only will my supreme law and top law be perfected soon, but the other three thousand great ways and endless side paths may also be perfected!”

“But it’s also possible to get lost in it!”

Taihao couldn’t help but think about it.

Because compared with the Tao, he is too small.

Even the law of force is nothing more than a thick “stream” in the “long river” of the Tao.

Special, but not that special.

Suddenly, Taihao frowned.

At the last moment when his understanding of the Great Dao was gradually fading, he seemed to see a “water flow” that was also slightly strong, but this “water flow” was not the law of force, but…

“time?”

At this moment, Taihao was indescribably shocked. He felt as if he had touched upon a secret that was difficult to access even in chaos.

Since there is a law of time that is as strong as the law of force, “water flow”, does it mean that someone has reached a height similar to that of Pangu through the power of time?
“How can this be!”

“The great god Pangu is the strongest in the chaos. Who else can…”

“Sigh~”

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying guess appeared in his mind.

Even he couldn’t help but take a breath at this moment.

“unless……”

“There is chaos beyond chaos!”

“Chaos! Not the only one!”

At this moment, Taihao was extremely terrified.

He felt that he might have glimpsed some shocking secret, which even the three thousand Chaos Demons knew very little about.

This shocked Taihao.

“If there really is another Chaos, then is there any hidden story behind the battle between Pangu the Great God and the Chaos Demon God?”

At this moment, Taihao’s thoughts were racing like lightning.

One conjecture after another appeared in his mind, some were rejected, and some were retained.

He was like the scientists on Earth in the previous life, who, through the few clues they had, deduced little by little about places that were not yet reachable and conducted mental observations.

Moreover, Taihao has always had doubts.

This doubt troubled him for a long time, but he could never find the answer.

He couldn’t understand why there were three thousand avenues instead of three thousand and one, or even more.

This is definitely not a sentence with a special meaning that can be explained.

An idea formed in Taihao’s mind and was then completed.

“All laws may not be the way they appear. Because no matter what it is, there may be no end, but there must be a beginning!”

“The reason why there are only three thousand great ways is because there are only three thousand side doors that have been promoted in the way!”

“What if there is a transformation of the unorthodox sect? Wouldn’t it become three thousand… and one?”

Suddenly, Taihao seemed to understand something.

He seemed to understand why the spokesperson of Heaven had to take an unprecedented path.

“Everything will eventually perish, only the Tao will last forever!”

“Honghuang needs to be promoted, to transform! To survive the next infinite calamity! To exist forever.”

“The only way is to be promoted to the Great Dao! Become a part of the three thousand… and one Great Dao. Otherwise, even if you survive one immeasurable calamity, you will not be able to escape the second, third…”

“But this kind of thing can only be done by cultivators who have pioneered new ways. Otherwise, no matter how strong you are, you are just a tributary of other ways!”

“If that’s true, then wouldn’t the method I’m developing right now also be a… side path?”
