Refining the Dao into Godhood: A Tale of the Jie Sect-Chapter 26 [Innate Taoist Body, Pangu’s Nine Transformations]

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 [Innate Taoist Body, Pangu’s Nine Transformations]

It must be said, it is an extremely ironic situation in the Primordial World created by the Pangu God that, besides the Witch Clan, no other creatures wish for the Pangu God to successfully resurrect and return.

This is equivalent to an emperor who can tolerate corrupt officials, tolerate feudal lords carving out their territories, and tolerate natural and man-made disasters, but cannot tolerate having a Supreme Emperor above him who controls everything.

The Supreme Emperor, this entity, should only be worshipped in ancestral temples, not appear in reality.

"Since both you and I have seen this, it means that it’s very likely that Buzhou Mountain will collapse, and the Mysterious Turtle’s four legs will be refined into new Heavenly Pillars!"

"Heavenly Dao’s momentum is indeed what the people aspire to!"

"When the Primordial World was first established, fierce beasts transformed from the resentment of Chaos Demon Gods ravaged the Primordial, and then the heavens, the Innate Sacred beings, and the three clans of dragons, phoenixes, and qilins were born as if by fate!"

"During the Dragon Han Catastrophe, the struggle of the three clans affected countless creatures. Then Luo Hou forged the Slaying Immortal Array Map and buried the ambitions of the three clans!"

"And when Luo Hou intended to refine Primordial against its current, Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun restored order, achieved the status of a Heavenly Dao Saint, opened the path of immortality, and re-established order in the Primordial World!"

"The current conflict between the Witch Demon is the same, since the creatures of the Primordial do not want Pangu to return, a great battle is needed to erase his lingering marks!"

"Whether it’s Buzhou Mountain or the Witch Clan, all are closely related to Pangu!"

Zhi Ming said to himself, with a trace of melancholy in his eyes. The North Sea is desolate, and for billions of years, only Yu Jiang and the Mysterious Turtle could be considered his Daoist companions.

Under the overwhelming forces, Yu Jiang has already fallen, and now, the Mysterious Turtle will follow.

"Senior!"

Upon seeing this, Xuanqing cautiously said, "Since minor tendencies can be changed, why don’t you persuade Senior Mysterious Turtle to voluntarily offer his four legs?"

"It’s not that easy!" Zhi Ming shook his head, "The strength of the Mysterious Turtle comes from his massive body. Would you be willing to give up your own cultivation?"

Xuanqing thought about it and said seriously, "Under normal circumstances, of course, I wouldn’t be willing, but if it’s a matter of life and death, what does one’s cultivation really amount to?"

With the green mountains preserved, there won’t be a shortage of firewood. Even if you lose your cultivation, you can just cultivate it back!

"I will try to persuade the Mysterious Turtle!" Zhi Ming thought for a moment and then added, "Of course, the premise is that the scene we both saw becomes reality!"

"As for now..."

"Let’s first imprint these Spiritual Treasures’ essence onto your spirit platform!"

"After doing this, we can discuss the Innate Eight Diagrams. I want to see what mysteries lie in the Great Dao you have comprehended!"

Xuanqing naturally would not refuse.

Under Zhi Ming’s operation, in just a moment, the essences of hundreds of Innate Spiritual Treasures turned into streaks of light, imprinting into Xuanqing’s spirit platform.

Xuanyuan Control Water Flag, Myriad Tribulations Chessboard, the Black Galloping Thunder Horn Demon Sword of the North, Fortune Ruyi...

Various essence intertwined, and each Spiritual Treasure burst out with brilliant light.

Then, at Zhi Ming’s request, Xuanqing began to expound on the "Innate Eight Diagrams," while Zhi Ming used his own Taoist Body to evolve the mysteries of the Yin Yang Dao.

Xuanqing’s understanding of the Great Dao was limited, and he did not have much to say, but Zhi Ming seemed to be an incarnation of the origin of Yin and Yang, interpreting the Innate Yin Yang Great Dao vividly and thoroughly.

"This..."

Xuanqing felt immensely shocked.

But Zhi Ming appeared composed: "Pangu changes nine times a day, divine as the heavens, sacred as the earth, this body of mine. It’s one of those transformations, and in a sense, it can also be considered a body close to the Dao!"

"A body close to the Dao?"

Xuanqing was somewhat puzzled.

Moreover, this was the first time he had heard of Pangu’s notion of transforming nine times in a day!

Upon hearing this, Zhi Ming couldn’t help but laugh: "As is well-known, Pangu was born from the Chaos Green Lotus, but his birth wasn’t achieved in one step. You can think of it as ’Cicada Molting’ or ’Phoenix Nirvana.’ With each transformation, Pangu’s aura grows stronger by a notch!"

"Green Dragon Meng Zhang, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Qilin, Golden Crow, Kunpeng, and Primordial Lion, they all represent bodies closer to the Dao, each corresponding to one transformation of Pangu!"

"And such transformations allow beings like us to come closer to the Great Dao, making our cultivation more effective by half!"

Xuanqing seemed to understand yet not fully, and immediately furrowed his brows: "Aren’t these only eight transformations?"

"Did you forget about yourself?" Zhi Ming looked at Xuanqing with disdain: "When Nuwa created humans, she referred to Pangu’s final transformation, which is chosen by many Primordial creatures during their Transformation — the Innate Taoist Body!"

"So that’s how it is!"

Xuanqing suddenly realized: "No wonder, whether it’s the Witch Clan, Demon Clan, or Dragon Clan, all of them walk the Primordial World in the state of Innate Taoist Body, and except for battling with magic, they rarely reveal their true forms!"

Each of Pangu’s nine transformations has its unique Taoist Body, like Zhi Ming’s Xuanwu Dao Body, which embodies the Yin Yang Great Dao through a combination of a turtle and a snake.

Green Dragon Meng Zhang is close to the Creation Skill; Yimu Essence perpetuates endlessly, naturally formed, and every gesture embodies the realization of the Creation and Transformation Laws.

As for Taoist Bodies like the Vermilion Bird, Monitoring Warrior, and Primordial Lion, Xuanqing had not observed them up close and thus was unclear which Great Dao they correspond to.

Observing these Taoist Bodies is akin to directly viewing the Great Dao; should one calm down and earnestly contemplate them, unexpected gains might be made!

Yin Yang generates the Four Symbols, Four Symbols generate the Eight Diagrams, "Innate Yin Yang" and "Innate Eight Diagrams" complement each other. Closely observing Zhi Ming’s Taoist Body is naturally beneficial; between the creation and destruction of Yin Yang, Xuanqing refines the Gui Water Essence, subsequently enhancing his understanding of the Innate Yi Dao rapidly.

Water generates wood; "Gui Water Essence" and "Yimu Essence" are naturally formed. Once refined, the power of the Creation Furnace also increases slightly.

While Xuanqing and Zhi Ming discussed the Great Dao, Hong Yun, who had recently left Wuzhuang Temple, was besieged by top powers like Kunpeng and Minghe.

In fact, as soon as Hong Yun left Wuzhuang Temple, he was targeted, only avoiding conflict with Zhen Yuanzi because they had not opted to attack immediately.

Kunpeng glared viciously at Hong Yun: "Were it not for you, how could I have missed the opportunity to become a Saint? Hong Yun, just hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi! If I am pleased, maybe I’ll spare your life!"

"Hahaha!"

Minghe Ancestor laughed: "Hongmeng Purple Qi, possessed by those destined! Kunpeng, you might as well save your breath! Let’s slay Hong Yun first and then decide the ownership of the Hongmeng Purple Qi through a battle!"

This time, he was determined to acquire the Hongmeng Purple Qi!

Seeing this, Kunpeng also felt a mounting unease. Comparatively in terms of strength, Minghe Ancestor, with the merit of establishing the Asura Race and Asura Sect, indeed had an edge over him. In a lone battle, he was no match for him.

Moreover, Minghe Ancestor had weapons like the Yuan Tu and Avici Swords and defensive treasures like the Twelve Grade Karma Fire Red Lotus.

As he was gripped with fear, Emperor Jun’s voice suddenly echoed from the vault of heaven: "Demon Sorcerer, fear not! The mere Minghe dares to provoke our Demon Clan’s sorcerer?"

However, Kunpeng felt no joy.

He did not believe that Emperor Jun would let him have the opportunity of the Hongmeng Purple Qi to become a saint!

"Kill!"

He could only make the first move, attacking Hong Yun in hopes of seizing the Hongmeng Purple Qi and escaping with the treasure at his ultimate worldly speed.

Instantly, the heavenly phenomena changed dramatically, and the astonishingly murderous intent caused the void to tremble uneasily.

"My life is over!"

Seeing this, Hong Yun felt a deep despair and revealed a ghastly smile.
