"Why are you speaking such discouraging words?"
Li Taiqing immediately stepped forward, sounding somewhat helpless.
"I think Xiaobai is right."
Among the crowd, Han You, the most carefree one, expressed her opinion:
"Anyway, I'll follow Master's decision."
"I'll follow Master too."
Xiaojin, who had transformed into a golden-haired girl, rarely stood on the same side as Xiaobai. Jiang Hao and Nangong Wenjian exchanged glances and nodded silently, clearly recalling what Han Xuanji had said earlier.
"Master once said that a great Calamity would descend upon the Immortal Realm in the future. The emergence of such a Great Heavenly Demon is likely the beginning of this Calamity."
Nangong Wenjian's eyes glittered with excitement. Far from being timid, he was eager to try.
"My sword has never failed."
"Exactly. I am a Grand Unity Golden Immortal after all. If the Demon Race dares to invade, I will definitely not let them off lightly." Jiang Hao spoke with considerable confidence.
Just then, Su Ming also arrived at the Myriad Phenomena Garden, hearing everyone's discussion as soon as he entered.
"Brother Jiang, I hear you boasting as soon as I arrive... you must not underestimate the Demon Race."
Su Ming knew more than the others. He had already learned the Origin of this demon from the Sect's Old Ancestor.
"Senior Brother Su, do you know the Origin of this Great Heavenly Demon?"
Seeing Su Ming arrive, Li Taiqing asked.
"I know a thing or two." Su Ming cleared his throat, his voice steady:
"According to the deduction of the Human Race's Great Experts, this demon should be the Great Heavenly Demon, the leader of the Demon Race's Nine Great Heavenly Demons. He is a Great Expert of the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm, and furthermore, a supremely powerful existence even within the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm."
"Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm?"
Su Ming's words exploded in the Myriad Phenomena Garden like a clap of thunder. Even the habitually arrogant Jiang Hao couldn't help but have his pupils contract. Above the Grand Unity Golden Immortal is the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal.
This Realm transcends space and time, controls the Origin of Laws, and represents the true Ultimate Powerhouse of Heaven and Earth.
In the vast Immortal Realm, the publicly known Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm Great Experts are few and far between. Every single one is an Ancient Existence that suppresses a Supreme Dao Lineage and remains immortal after countless years.
Yet Su Ming said that this awakened Great Heavenly Demon was not only in the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm but was also an extremely powerful existence within it!
"The head of the Nine Great Heavenly Demons... Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm Extreme..."
Jiang Hao repeated in a low voice, frowning:
"According to the Cultivation Technique taught by Master, the Primordial Chaos Cultivation realm is divided into Three Realms. Could this demon have already reached the Limitless Primordial Realm?"
Su Ming took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and shook his head:
"Such an existence only appears in myths. Legend has it that numerous Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm Great Experts of the Immortal Realm joined forces, borrowed the power of a certain legendary Supreme Treasure, and paid a huge price just to severely wound him.
The specific details are probably only known to existences like Senior Brother, or the Most Ancient Powerhouses among the Myriad Races."
"Gulp."
Xiaobai swallowed, shrank his neck, and muttered softly:
" Limitless Primordial... what kind of strength is that?"
"How could it be the Limitless Primordial Realm? You youngsters are really overthinking things."
Just then, Little Red's voice drifted over, carrying a hint of laziness and arrogance.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a brilliant, flowing crimson figure leisurely strolling toward them. Only then did everyone realize that Little Red had successfully completed its Nirvana, its body glowing and its aura unfathomably deep.
After Rebirth through Nirvana, its form had not become larger, but appeared more refined and perfect. Its plumage was deeply colored, and the tips of its feathers and tail feathers were wreathed in wisps of Chaos Dim Light that seemed capable of devouring light.
Its eyes were like the Nine Nether Abyss. With every glance, a nobility and majesty stemming from its Bloodline flowed out unintentionally. The dao-rhythm around its body was harmonious and complete, and although its aura was restrained, it made the two Grand Unity Golden Immortals present, Jiang Hao and Su Ming, feel a faint sense of oppression.
"This demon is merely in the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm. Do you really think any Tom, Dick, or Harry can be a Limitless Primordial existence?"
Little Red's tone was incredibly pompous, carrying the implication of "you are too young and inexperienced."
" Limitless Primordial is the ultimate Realm that truly touches the Root of the Great Dao, transcending all tangible and intangible constraints. How many people throughout history have achieved it?
This Great Heavenly Demon merely relied on the foundation it had at birth, cultivated for a long time in the Celestial Golden Immortal Realm, and thus earned a fierce reputation."
Jiang Hao was the first to recover from the shock, asking in a deep voice:
"Since Senior Little Red says so, then compared to this demon..."
Hearing this, Little Red, uncharacteristically, did not immediately scoff. Instead, it pondered briefly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in its eyes.
"Ahem, if I were restored to my Peak, I naturally wouldn't fear this Great Heavenly Demon..."
He did not continue, but everyone understood the implication.
The current Little Red was probably no match for this Great Heavenly Demon.
"Ahem."
Little Red realized its attempt to show off had failed, gave a light cough, scanned the increasingly tense expressions of the crowd, and suddenly changed the subject:
"However..."
Little Red raised its slender neck. The Chaos Dim Light on its tail feathers flowed continuously, and its tone returned to that familiar cadence,
"No matter how strong this demon is, how could it be Master's opponent?"
"Master's Dao encompasses everything, profound and unpredictable. His current Realm is one that even I cannot see clearly. But one thing I can be certain of—"
Little Red's gaze turned toward the direction of the silent Quiet Room deep within the Myriad Phenomena Garden, revealing undisguised reverence in its eyes,
"The Great Heavenly Demon is absolutely no match for Master."
Hearing this, the gloom between Su Ming's brows largely dispersed. He nodded slightly towards Little Red:
"Thank you, Senior Little Red, for clarifying our confusion."
Li Taiqing, Lin Potian, Jiang Hao, and the others also felt their minds settle.
That's right. Their Master was an existence that even Little Red, the Nine Nether Devouring Phoenix, willingly followed. Although the Great Heavenly Demon was indeed a World-Ending Fierce Demon, how could their Master be an easy opponent?
"With Master overseeing things, this is not a desperate situation. We must seize every moment to comprehend the Great Dao imparted by Master. Every bit of progress we make will give us more strength to cope in the future."
Li Taiqing quickly composed himself and said in a deep voice. His gaze swept over the crowd,
"We will wait and see how things develop and await Master's Decree. We should also constantly monitor the movements of the Demon Race and the reactions of various powers in the Immortal Realm."
"Mhm."
Everyone responded in unison, having lost the mood for idle talk, and went off to attend to their own matters... Han Xuanji did not pay attention to their words.
He was busy attempting a Breakthrough to Limitless Primordial and had no time to concern himself with these matters.
For him, reaching a higher Realm was the ultimate truth. And to Project onto All the Heavens the Xuantian Great Dao is not easy. He needed to pour all his focus into that final "leap." This step was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
It was not about the accumulation of Cultivation and Magic Power; he had continuously Refined the chaos dao demon origin, and his cultivation had long since reached Perfection, vast and boundless, requiring no further accumulation.
The true difficulty lay in "projection." Primordial Chaos is the One Dao Giving Birth to Ten Thousand Daos, sufficient to open up a Stable World.
Limitless Primordial, however, requires feeding these ten thousand Daos back into the one Dao, making this "One" a part of the Great Dao that constitutes the endless Chaos, truly achieving "My Dao is Heavenly Dao, My Will is Law," and thus existing eternally alongside the Dao, indestructible through ten thousand calamities.
"The time has come... Using the Dao of Xuantian, Project onto All the Heavens..."
Han Xuanji's will transformed into a formless, quality-less, yet all-encompassing "Dao Light," rising from the Quiet Room, penetrating the Lingxu Heavenly Palace's Mountain Protecting Grand Array, ignoring the obstruction of space and time, and directly touching the invisible, formless, yet ubiquitous "Sea of Great Dao Origin" that maintains the operation of all the heavens.
This "sea" is the source of Laws, the destination of concepts, and the Origin stream of the Great Dao.
Only existences who have reached the Perfection stage of the P
Celestial Golden Immortal Realm and above can observe this place.
Within it, countless powerful "Dao Seals" already float—these are the immortal imprints left by the Ultimate Powerhouses who achieved Limitless Primordial throughout history, such as "Annihilation," "Slaughter," "Taiqing," "Yuanshi," "Demon," "Immortal"... Every single Great Dao is vast and boundless, interwoven with one another.
