117: gourd vine
After comprehending in this space for tens of thousands of years, the two of them departed.
This place was originally composed of various shattered Laws. Once suppressed, it was gradually assimilated by the Heavenly Dao Laws that slowly seeped in.
This world also completely became a part of the Primordial World.
Having witnessed this process, they gained a clear understanding of the Heavenly Dao's power to constrain and transform Laws.
The infiltration of the Heavenly Dao Laws began like a trickling stream. Initially, it was just a wisp of extremely faint golden light passing through the spatial barriers, touching those suppressed remnants of Chaos.
The golden light contained the purest power of order, yet it did not arrogantly erase the Chaos and disorder. Instead, like a spring breeze turning into rain, it bit by bit decomposed and reconstructed those alien Laws to achieve a new order.
This was the inclusiveness and wisdom of the Heavenly Dao. It did not aim for destruction, but took Fusion as its core essence.
Furthermore, he noticed a key point: during the transformation process, the Heavenly Dao always maintained a certain 'leeway'.
It would not completely overhaul the Chaos Laws but allowed them to retain some of their characteristics.
Because of this, the Primordial World could continuously absorb fresh nutrients rather than remaining stagnant, eventually reaching new heights.
The two gained a brand new understanding of the Dao of Primordial Unity within the Primordial World.
If a Cultivator is compared to that small world, then the process of pursuing Primordial Unity is actually similar to the Heavenly Dao transforming alien Laws.
A Cultivator cannot wholesale accept the existing Laws of the Primordial World; otherwise, they will be bound by them.
One must maintain their own characteristics and find a point of balance.
Using one's own Dao as the foundation and absorbing the myriad methods of heaven and earth, one finally transcends.
Attaining the Dao through Laws is already extremely difficult, and walking one's own path under the invisible suppression of the Heavenly Dao is even more difficult.
If one goes to the Chaos like Yang Mei, they can ignore the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, and the difficulty of attaining the Dao should be somewhat reduced.
However, attaining the Dao in the Chaos inevitably subjects one to its influence, potentially transforming them into a pure Chaos God and Demon body.
When that time comes, whether the Primordial World recognizes them is uncertain.
Chaos is always disordered, while the Primordial World offers transcendence; naturally, they would not abandon that silver lining of transcendence.
At worst, there is still the fallback of becoming a Saint through Primordial Violet Qi and Karma.
In any case, in the current Primordial World, many Innate Sacred Beings have not yet grown up; there isn't even a single Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.
The only one who can best them is Hongjun.
That old geezer still owes them Karma, and from the look of it, he also hopes they can successfully attain Primordial Unity.
So, there is no need to be too anxious; take it slow, and the day of success will come eventually.
After leaving that reborn world, Qing Wu and Yuan Feng did not return immediately. Instead, they found a quiet place nearby to calmly contemplate what they had gained over these tens of thousands of years.
Yuan Feng took the Opportunity to comprehend the Law of Fire within the karma fire red lotus.
This flame, which specifically used Karmic Obstruction as fuel, was quite profound.
Karmic Obstruction is actually the most mysterious product of Karma within the Primordial World.
It is not simple sin, but rather the Dao marks left behind when living beings violate the operation of the Heavenly Dao.
Whenever a living being goes against the heavens or destroys the balance of the world, their actions transform into invisible Karma that entangles them.
This Karma is like maggots in the bone, growing heavier as one's cultivation increases, eventually becoming the most difficult obstacle to overcome on the path to attaining the Dao.
The sources of Karmic Obstruction generally come from three aspects: the first is killing Karma, which refers to the backlash from the world caused by wanton slaughter.
The second is deceiving the heavens, using devious paths to obscure the operation of the Heavenly Dao.
The third is disrupting order, destroying the balance and stability of the world's Yin and Yang.
Among the three, killing Karma is the most common.
Ordinary Cultivators often only see the benefits of rapid cultivation progress and fail to see the harm of silently growing Karmic Obstruction.
Only when their cultivation hits a Bottleneck do they realize they are firmly shackled by Karmic Obstruction and can no longer advance an inch.
The common method of offset is to balance Karma with Karmic Obstruction.
However, the Red Lotus Karma Fire birthed within this karma fire red lotus can act directly upon Karmic Obstruction.
This effect is not simple and is worthy of in-depth study.
It's just a pity that while immortal lotuses like the karma fire red lotus can be considered a Spiritual Root to some extent,
they are more commonly regarded as a Spirit Treasure.
Otherwise, Qing Wu would have been very interested in it.
It wasn't until fifty thousand years had passed that they finally returned the karma fire red lotus.
What came out to greet them was an Incarnation; no one knew which corner of the Blood Sea the real Styx was hiding in for his secluded cultivation.
By this time, roughly one Yuanhui had passed since the first sermon at Zixiao Palace.
Many Innate Sacred Beings were still in secluded cultivation, digesting what they had realized from the sermon.
The peaks of Kunlun Mountain were shrouded in the dao rhyme and rosy light of the Three Pure Ones, which occasionally transformed into golden bridges spanning the sky.
At Mount Buzhou, the Ancestral Witches were busy making various arrangements for their newly born clansmen.
At this time, the Witch Clan had grown much larger, and it seemed Houtu alone could no longer manage everything.
Thus, the Twelve Ancestral Witches each led a portion of the clansmen to form tribes.
The twelve great tribes, headed by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, began to continue their development.
The Sun Star and Taiyin Star rotated in turn, and the dao rhymes of Dijun, Taiyi, Xi He, and Chang Xi could be vaguely seen intertwining in the starry space.
The Karma within the Primordial World had not yet spread out, and the great trend had not yet formed.
The Primordial World was in a rare state of peace and development.
Even the Laws of Heaven and Earth appeared exceptionally gentle, and the common celestial phenomena of the past were much fewer.
Just as Qing Wu and his companion stepped out of the Blood Sea and onto the Primordial Land, Qing Wu felt several strands of Qi aura spread out from Mount Buzhou, landing in all directions.
Kunlun Mountain, the Sun Star, Wuzhuang Temple... even Qing Wu captured a wisp.
Upon careful sensing, he realized that the Gourd Vine he had been longing for was finally about to be born.
Competing for the gourd Opportunity was secondary; what Qing Wu truly cared about was this Innate Gourd Vine.
Seven treasures grew from a single vine, six of which were Top Grade Innate Spirit Treasures, and the remaining one was a High Grade Innate Spirit Treasure.
Although in the end, the Gourd Vine exhausted its own life force and transformed into a Human-Creating Whip,
such an existence was enough to prove that the Gourd Vine had a top-tier origin.
If he were to just watch the Gourd Vine perish, that would be the greatest loss.
Qing Wu had searched for its whereabouts during his previous visits to Mount Buzhou, but with no results.
Now, the Gourd Vine was actively releasing its Qi aura to him.
One could only say that flowers planted with intent do not bloom.
But seeing the way the Qi auras were converging on Mount Buzhou, those destined for the Gourd Vine had clearly arrived a step ahead.
“I hope I can make it in time!”
Thinking of this, Qing Wu and his companion no longer delayed and immediately rushed toward Mount Buzhou.
