126: Fuxi's doubts

"With the Heavenly Dao suppressing all sentient beings, what can we do?

If we don't go to listen to the Dao, there's no way to Cultivate to a higher Realm; if we do go, our Luck and Karma will be harvested.

Fellow Daoist Taiqing, do you think we have any other choice?"

Nuwa spoke helplessly.

If all their peers promoted to a higher Realm while they remained stuck in the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm,

then they would have no choice but to listen to the Dao; if their Luck and Karma were to be harvested, then so be it.

"This is exactly the issue this poor Daoist wants to address.

The Heavenly Dao suppresses all sentient beings and suppresses the Path of Law, which proves that the Path of Law has its own inherent power.

And the Path of Law is the way out for all of you Fellow Daoists.

we, the descendants of the father god Pangu, follow the Path of Dao Attainment through Law.

It is precisely because we followed the Path of Dao Attainment through Law that we brothers and sisters were able to Breakthrough to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm.

The Heavenly Dao acts because the Path of Law is powerful, to prevent the emergence of an existence at the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable.

Such an existence would escape the control of the Heavenly Dao and threaten its dominion over the Honghuang World.

That is why it suppresses the Path of Law the most."

Taiqing once again tried to hoodwink the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings onto the Path of Law.

"The Path of Law is actually that powerful? It can even threaten the status of the Heavenly Dao?

Since Fellow Daoist Taiqing and the others could Proving the Dao as Hunyuan Golden Immortals through the Path of Law, there must be a way to avoid the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.

However, we have no way to walk this path."

This was the first time they had heard that after reaching the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable via the Path of Law, one could shake the status of the Heavenly Dao.

They gained a new understanding of the Path of Law.

"we were able to walk the Path of Law and Breakthrough to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm

largely thanks to the Pangu Hall left by Father God. It isolates the Heavenly Dao, allowing for a smooth Breakthrough.

However, I forgot to inform you Fellow Daoists that during the Dao-Demon Conflict,

the Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal who participated also followed the Path of Dao Attainment through Law.

This shows that within the Honghuang World, the places that can evade the suppression of the Heavenly Dao are not limited to my Pangu Hall.

This poor Daoist also knows that Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing's Revered Master is a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Heavenly Venerable!"

Taiqing dropped another bombshell.

"What?!"

Fu Xi and Nü Wa, Zhenyuanzi, and even the usually indifferent Hong Yun were no longer calm.

Whether it was the existence of over a dozen Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal or the fact that Xuan Qing's Revered Master was a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Heavenly Venerable,

this information was temporarily impossible for them to accept.

Quietly and without notice, the Honghuang World actually had Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Heavenly Venerable powerhouses.

Fu Xi and Nü Wa had previously thought Xuan Qing was merely a Primordial Golden Immortal Mighty Being's disciple.

They never expected Xuan Qing to be a Disciple of the Heavenly Venerate.

The gap between these two was simply too vast.

"Furthermore, if one wishes to Proving the Dao to the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable, walking the Path of Law is inevitable."

Taiqing continued his deception.

In reality, to Proving the Dao in Hunyuan, there were four paths: Law, Primordial Spirit, Physical Body, and Magic Power.

Any one of these could be used for Proving the Dao; it was just a matter of the difference in strength after achieving it.

Among the single paths, Proving the Dao through Law was the strongest. Primordial Spirit and Physical Body were similar and came next, while the Way of Magic Power was the weakest.

But even Proving the Dao through Magic Power was stronger than a Heavenly Dao Sage of the same Realm.

However, the Way of Magic Power was the easiest to Cultivate below the level of a Hun Yuan Heavenly Venerable, while the Path of Law was the hardest.

But after Proving the Dao in Hunyuan, it was the exact opposite.

Using the Way of Magic Power to Proving the Dao was harder than using Law, Primordial Spirit, or the Physical Body.

Countless times harder.

This was why, after Old Thief Hongjun's sermon in Zixiao Palace,

throughout Yuanhui, not a single one of the guests in Zixiao Palace had achieved Proving the Dao through Magic Power.

Accumulating enough Magic Power to reach the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable was simply too, too difficult.

Of course, another reason was that they had already embarked on the Way of Severing Three Corpses.

"This... is there really no other way?

If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the all sentient beings of the primordial era have no path forward?

To Proving the Dao, one must walk the Path of Law, but the Path of Law is blocked by the Heavenly Dao.

What should we do?"

The four Grand Unity Golden Immortals, including Fuxi, felt despondent.

At a glance, it seemed their ultimate end would likely just be as a Primordial Golden Immortal Mighty Being.

"Are you Fellow Daoists disheartened already? Did you forget what I said?

Since a Celestial Venerable has appeared and my brothers and sisters could walk the Path of Law to promote to Hunyuan Golden Immortal,

it means there is still a glimmer of hope under this Heavenly Dao."

Taiqing was very satisfied seeing the reaction of the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings.

These two had finally taken the bait.

At this moment, the siblings had already accepted Taiqing's claims about the Path of Dao Attainment through Law.

"Right, right, right. Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you just said that in this Honghuang, there is more than one location that can evade the suppression of the Heavenly Dao.

It seems your Pangu Hall should be one such location.

Those Great Experts at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, as well as the Celestial Venerable, likely also know the methods or locations to evade the Heavenly Dao's suppression."

Fuxi nodded repeatedly, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

"Indeed, the Pangu Hall where my brothers and sisters reside can indeed evade the Heavenly Dao's suppression.

If Fellow Daoists Fu Xi and Nü Wa wish to Breakthrough in my Pangu Hall, we would be most welcome.

Furthermore, I know of three other places that can similarly evade the Heavenly Dao's suppression.

If Fellow Daoists Fu Xi and Nü Wa find Pangu Hall inconvenient, you can go to those three locations to Cultivate after your Breakthrough in Pangu Hall.

Of course, if Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi and Fellow Daoist Hong Yun also wish to use Pangu Hall for a Breakthrough,

my brothers and sisters would also be most welcome."

Taiqing continued to guide Fu Xi and Nü Wa.

However, to make his intentions seem less obvious, Taiqing added Hong Yun and Zhenyuanzi at the end.

Taiqing couldn't help but give Hong Yun a thumbs up in his mind again.

It was lucky that Hong Yun had dragged Zhenyuanzi along.

Otherwise, if it were only the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings, making such a suggestion would have made Taiqing's motives seem too blatant.

"Is... is this really okay? Can my sister and I really use Pangu Hall to Breakthrough to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm?

But, Fellow Daoist Taiqing, we have only just met. Why would you help my sister and me so much?

Could it be that you wish to win us over so that in the future struggle for hegemony in Honghuang, my sister and I will be at your beck and call?"

Fuxi felt that something was off. As he said, it was their first time meeting Taiqing.

Even if Taiqing was as hospitable as Xuan Qing had described,

this was a bit too hospitable, wasn't it?

To be so attentive for no reason—there must be an ulterior motive.

Taiqing was not only unconditionally letting them in on the great secrets of Honghuang but also unconditionally helping them Proving the Dao.

Such a massive debt of gratitude—even if they were asked to die, they could never repay it.

Other than wanting the siblings to work for the Wu Clan's hegemony over Honghuang,

Fuxi really couldn't think of any reason to convince himself why Taiqing was helping them so much.

Hearing Fuxi's words, Zhenyuanzi, who had slightly lowered his guard, became wary once again.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi is right. we have only just met.

Fellow Daoist Taiqing is being far too kind, so kind it feels unreal.

In this situation, either Fellow Daoist Taiqing truly has our best interests at heart..."
