16: Chapter 16 wasn't insightful enough, so I filled in the gaps with others' insights.

In the West, atop Mount Sumeru, Rahu sensed the information sent by his Incarnation, his expression turning somewhat grim.

The items Yang Mei had given him were genuine, but they also carried certain problems.

The methods within could indeed accelerate the refining of the remains of chaos demon gods, but they also stirred the will of the Chaos Demon Gods.

It might seem like nothing, but directly stirring the will within the remains of chaos demon gods at their Peak was quite disastrous.

Once the will within the remains of chaos demon gods was fully stirred, the erupting power directly reached the limit of the Daluo Realm.

Rahu's Incarnation was instantly annihilated; had he not taken the opportunity to use Mount Sumeru to forcibly suppress it and employ external force to crush that will, things might have become quite troublesome.

However, the results were significant; after that will was crushed, the refining speed indeed became much faster.

Rahu looked at the three methods in his hand and did not attempt them again; the flaws were too great, and he truly feared a catastrophe if he continued.

"Alas, those not of my kind must have different hearts! My own Comprehension Ability is somewhat lacking when it comes to creating new secret methods based on the Innate Grand Arrays I've understood."

"Cultivation is difficult, truly too difficult."

Rahu spoke with a sigh; he had to admit that his Comprehension Ability was only average among Innate Sacred Beings.

Although he had the help of the jade disc of creation, it was, after all, only a fragment.

Furthermore, this fragment was not large and could not bring about earth-shattering changes for an Innate Sacred Being.

Looking at the insignificant corner in his hand, Rahu had no choice but to accept reality.

If his own power was insufficient, he would have to rely on external forces.

He did not dare to allow outsiders to use the jade disc of creation to deduce Formations alongside him.

Without absolute strength, this jade disc of creation would likely incite the greed of other Innate Sacred Beings.

He could fend off one or two, but if a dozen or even a hundred came, he would be forced to hole up within Mount Sumeru and never leave.

Thinking of this, his gaze couldn't help but fall upon the many Innate Living Beings throughout the world.

Under his protection, every one of these Innate Living Beings had made progress.

Most importantly, he had also guessed why so many ordinary Innate Living Beings were nurtured within this world.

In Rahu's eyes, these Innate Living Beings were indeed useless when they were first born; only Innate Sacred Beings were the most precious existences.

After all, the disparity in strength was clear; whether they were gods, demons, or those in the Taiyi Realm, they all had to absorb the Spiritual Qi of the world to strengthen themselves.

Only those in the Daluo Realm could directly draw power from the Chaos to further give back to the world.

But his feelings were different now; Innate Sacred Beings were too powerful, and for instance, he didn't need any cultivation methods at all upon his birth.

Comprehending the Great Dao of the world and further taking control of it—this was the future path of cultivation guided by his Innate Legacy.

If Rahu did not walk the path of Hunyuan, he would have no choice but to follow that road.

Merging with the Great Dao of Destruction of the Primordial World, he would no longer be an Innate Sacred Being nurtured by the Great Dao of Destruction, but the Great Dao of Destruction itself.

Once he took this path, no other existence in the world could achieve the Daluo Realm through the Great Dao of Destruction.

Rahu vaguely guessed the direction of the world's evolution; if these Innate Sacred Beings merged with the original Great Daos of the world, there would be three thousand existences beyond the Daluo Realm.

The Daluo Realm only allowed one to control the Great Dao of the world; it did not mean they were the Great Dao itself.

This was also the way this world allowed these Innate Sacred Beings to go a step further.

Innate Living Beings were different; once the Innate Sacred Beings became the Great Daos themselves, the next stage of the world's development would be to use the wisdom of countless sentient beings to let ordinary Innate Living Beings walk their own paths.

Thus, it might take billions of years for a single being among the infinite inhabitants of the Primordial World to walk their own path and sublimate their cultivation to the Daluo Realm.

But this was tangible progress, and since time was truly worthless in the Primordial World, spending a bit of it to achieve this would allow more new Great Daos to be born within the world.

Such a deal was simply too profitable.

Moreover, there was no possibility of eternal immortality below the Daluo Realm; once they were wiped out, they were truly gone, unable to recover from the Great Dao of the world again.

At this thought, a glimmer of light appeared in Rahu's eyes.

Over the years, it wasn't that he hadn't thought about founding the Demonic Path, but even with his Comprehension Ability as an Innate Sacred Being and the aid of the jade disc of creation...

It wasn't enough—completely insufficient to open a new Great Dao.

The same went for deducing formations; even Innate Sacred Beings had their limits.

His gaze turned toward those ordinary Innate Living Beings on Mount Sumeru; if he could obtain their Daos and insights, even though the comprehension of each individual was insignificant...

When added together, even an Innate Sacred Being like him might not necessarily be able to compare.

However, he would need to sacrifice the jade disc of creation and modify this Magic Treasure.

Rahu looked at the jade disc of creation in his hand, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

The jade disc of creation was not as simple as a mere Divine Artifact for enlightenment; it also recorded the Great Daos that manifested during the world's evolution.

This included Rahu's Great Dao of Destruction.

Looking at the jade disc of creation before him, Rahu finally made his choice.

No matter how powerful the effect of this Magic Treasure was, it had to be used well.

Without the slightest hesitation, he began to modify this Magic Treasure.

The so-called modification was not re-refining the treasure; he did not yet have the ability to refine the jade disc of creation.

One must realize that this treasure provided enlightenment even to those in the Daluo Realm; if he had such ability, he wouldn't still be lingering at the Mid-stage Great Luo.

After three Yuanhuis, he looked at the jade disc of creation before him, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.

However, the jade disc of creation no longer looked like a jade disc; it was now a great seal, as Rahu had used some Innate Materials to wrap the original jade disc.

"Although the essence of this Magic Treasure is still the jade disc of creation, my plan must not be discovered by other beings, so let it be called the heavenly demon seal."

At the same time, his gaze fell upon the tokens on one side of the Immortal Cave.

These were Sumeru Tokens, upon which he had used a secret method to imprint a trace of the heavenly demon seal's aura.

Once these tokens were distributed to each Innate Living Being, they would serve the purpose of aiding enlightenment.

As Rahu's subordinates, they would have one opportunity for enlightenment every Yuanhui.

This so-called enlightenment involved pulling a strand of their Divine Thought into the heavenly demon seal, using the essence of the jade disc of creation to allow them to deduce and comprehend the Dao.

During this process, their comprehension of the Great Dao would be recorded by the jade disc of creation and then fed back to Rahu.

It didn't matter if Rahu didn't understand Formations or many other aspects besides the Great Dao of Destruction; now he had the help of all the living beings on Mount Sumeru.

Although the comprehension provided by each Innate Living Being was limited, their collective power could push the deduction to the extreme.

Without hesitation, he distributed the Sumeru Tokens one by one.

Afterward, he began to enter a state of secluded cultivation.
