I am cultivating immortals in mortal science

Chapter 2163 The Path to Origin

Although the wheelchair was broken, the golden light it emitted was even stronger, and it flew onto Gu Huojin's body, instantly condensing into a golden armor.

The armor's chest was adorned with a massive dragon pattern, which looked incredibly majestic, yet exuded a deathly aura, seemingly lacking a crucial element of spiritual energy.

But the next moment, the dragon-scale golden fruit suddenly sank into Gu Huojin's chest, emanating a powerful aura of the Great Dao of Time.

This power was so immense that it was beyond comprehension. The light waves it generated actually slowed down the Great Dao Divine Power of the seven Lords of the Samsara Palace, making them approach the ancient or modern world at a snail's pace.

At the same time, a surge of golden flames burst forth from Gu Huojin's body, causing the eyes of the dragon head on its chest to suddenly light up, and golden flames to gush out from its mouth and the gaps between its scales!
Under its scorching heat, the entire golden dragon seemed to come alive, swimming across the body of the ancient or modern.

“Tracing back!”

Suddenly, Gu Huojin shouted a command. He clenched his right palm, and seven golden flames shot towards the Great Dao Divine Powers of the Lord of Samsara Palace and the others.

The moment the two sides made contact, the seven golden flames easily adhered to the surface of the seven divine powers, causing them to come to a complete halt.

"This golden flame"

Upon seeing this, the Lord of Samsara's eyes widened, as if he had thought of something.

But as soon as this thought arose, he saw that all seven divine powers shot back, and under the golden light, their speed was incredibly fast!

So much so that even a Dao Ancestor-level primordial spirit almost didn't react in time.

The seven members of the Samsara Palace were shocked and quickly tried to defend themselves. Fortunately, these supernatural powers were all created by themselves, and they knew their structure very well, so they could use skillful force to neutralize them.

Otherwise, all seven of them would have been seriously injured in such a sudden and unexpected turn of events!
Even though they managed to cope with it, when the seven members of the Samsara Palace looked at Gu Huojin, who was wearing the Golden Flame Dragon Armor, they couldn't help but show fear in their eyes.

Even the entire battlefield fell silent.

The strength displayed by Gu Huojin was truly terrifying. Facing the combined forces of seven Dao Ancestors, not only did he not suffer any losses, but he almost seriously injured all seven Lords of Samsara Palace at the same time!

Such strength far surpasses the realm of Dao Ancestor.

"Has the ancient or modern era already taken that step?"

Everyone was filled with utter horror.

"The Divine Flame of the Great Dao! It's actually the Divine Flame of the Great Dao!"

After an unknown period of silence, True Monarch Cangwu suddenly roared and pointed at the golden flames enveloping Gu Huojin.

"The Supreme Being can actually unleash the Divine Flame of the Great Dao! Why hasn't he perished yet?"

It's hard to imagine that these words came from the mouth of Baiyun Daozu, a staunch follower of the sect, whether ancient or modern.

However, none of the Heavenly Court cultivators around felt that this statement was excessive, simply because the Great Dao Divine Flame itself was a forbidden divine power at the level of the Dao Ancestor!
This supernatural power isn't exactly a secret. The reason why everyone took so long to react is mainly because it has appeared less than five times in the entire history of the immortal realm!

Leaving aside the mysteries of supernatural powers, the power that the Dao Ancestor can display is closely related to the amount of Dao power he can mobilize.

Under normal circumstances, the Dao Ancestor would only mobilize less than one-tenth of the power of the Great Dao to avoid being corrupted by the Great Dao.

If it exceeds a certain limit, the more it exceeds, the more severely it will be eroded, and the speed at which it rises is extremely terrifying!
Therefore, in general, when Dao Ancestors engage in battles, they agree to limit the amount of Dao power they can mobilize to less than one-tenth.

Even if a winner is determined, the victor will not press too hard, so as not to escalate the situation into a deadly battle.

Of course, even in a true life-or-death struggle, the Dao Ancestor would not be able to mobilize all of his Great Dao power in actual combat; even reaching 50% would be extremely difficult.

Because that would make the Dao Ancestor's spellcasting speed extremely slow, thus rendering it impractical.

However, this also means that the situation where the victor immediately merges with the Dao after a deadly battle between the two Dao Ancestors will not occur.

However, as the immortal realm has gone through countless years, there are always special circumstances that cause the two Dao Ancestors to engage in a life-or-death struggle, and give them ample time to prepare their supernatural powers.

This situation is the most terrifying because neither side knows how much power of the Great Dao the other will use, so they will generally prepare more than they need!

Once more than 90% of the power of the Great Dao is used at once, the highly concentrated power will spontaneously condense into the divine flame of the Great Dao!

However, as mentioned earlier, the erosion of the power of the Great Dao does not increase linearly.

For a Dao Ancestor, using ninety percent of the power of the Great Dao at once would be tantamount to suicide.

Even if he succeeds in killing the target, he himself will not have more than a few years to live.

Therefore, this forbidden supernatural power is not only difficult to perform, but under normal circumstances, no one would be willing to perform it!
The time that the ancient or modern rulers have ruled the Heavenly Court must be measured in tens of millions of years. The extent to which he has been eroded by the Great Dao must be very deep. After all, even if the Dao Ancestor does nothing, he will still be eroded by the Great Dao he belongs to at an extremely slow speed.

Combining these factors, it is already incredible that anyone, whether in ancient or modern times, could unleash the divine flames of the Great Dao, because theoretically only a Dao Ancestor who has not been deeply corrupted by the Great Dao could do so.

Not to mention, after he used it, he wasn't immediately eroded by the Great Dao of Time, and he looked completely relaxed!

The only possibility is that either Gu or Jin has taken a crucial step, surpassing the Dao Ancestor!

"What a magnificent Heart of the Great Dao of Time! No, it should not be called the 'Fruit of the Dao of Time'!"
"Ancient or modern, you've really hidden yourself too well, and you're ruthless enough to yourself. You truly deserve to be called a self-destructive corpse!"

Luo Hong witnessed the whole thing and immediately flew out, speaking in a deep voice to Gu Huojin.

"So it was you. You've finally come out. Judging from your appearance, you've obviously been hiding in the Jade Pool for quite some time. Why didn't you stop me?"

There was no surprise in Gu Huojin's eyes when he looked at Luo Hong. He had undoubtedly expected Luo Hong to appear, but he didn't know when or in what form.

"This path has been explored throughout the entire Primordial World for countless years. As long as we can see someone actually succeed, it's worth any price to pay!"

Luo Hong gazed intently at Gu Huojin, her eyes filled with deep expectation.

Upon hearing this, Gu Huojin's eyes shone brightly, and he pointed at Luo Hong with an excited tone, saying:
"Yes, yes! That's exactly it! I never imagined that you, the Primordial Immortal Venerable whom I've never met, would understand me the most!"

"Primordial Immortal Venerable? What is that?"

"Why is the Supreme Being treating it with such solemnity?"

Who is this person?

Luo Hong's appearance was too abrupt. Normally, given the aura he exuded, he wouldn't have attracted any discussion at this moment. However, Gu Huojin, who had just displayed his divine power, subtly revealed his apprehension.

More importantly, both Gu and Jin's words and expressions acknowledged that Luo Hong had the ability to stop him!
"Old dog Cangwu, who exactly is this person?"

Meng Po led Yu Menghan to the side of Cangwu Zhenjun. Even if they were slow to realize, they couldn't possibly think that Luo Hong was Cangwu Zhenjun's disciple.

However, since Luo Hong was brought by him, he would know some of the inside story.

"I don't know either. This person came to me suddenly, bringing me news of the Lord of Samsara Palace, saying that he could help me take revenge, so I brought him into the Bodhi Banquet."

Lord Cangwu was consumed by hatred and didn't ask many questions at the time.

“Fellow Daoist Cangwu, I know that you have a grudge against the Lord of Samsara for killing his disciple, but there is a way to undo this.”

It should be noted that the Lord of the Samsara Palace cultivates the Law of Samsara and possesses a first-grade immortal artifact of the Great Dao of Samsara—the Six Paths of Samsara Disc—which allows him to easily control the reincarnation of beings in all the heavens and myriad realms.

Now, whether ancient or modern, they wish to sacrifice the entire Immortal Realm for their own selfish gain. How can we stand idly by!

Zhen Shiyin also flew over at this moment, and immediately tried to win over Cangwu Zhenjun to the side of the Lord of Samsara Palace.

"Hmph, I knew you had a problem. The Lord of Samsara Palace really thought of everything."

However, this matter is not urgent now; let's see what Fellow Daoist Luo intends to do.

True Monarch Cangwu snorted coldly in annoyance.

In the past, he might have been overjoyed by Zhen Shiyin's suggestion, since finding a disciple who could perfectly inherit his mantle was extremely difficult.

But now, not only does Gu Huojin seem to have taken that step, but Luo Hong also knows a lot about it.

Since there is hope for the future, there is no need to rush the matter of passing on the mantle.

"You might not believe it, but I have to thank you, Immortal Venerable, otherwise I wouldn't dare to reveal my true cultivation!"

Gu Huojin laughed heartily, seemingly finding Luo Hong's presence a great help to him.

"I believe that with your obsession, you are capable of doing such a thing!"

Luo Hong was able to be so resolute because he knew that in the original timeline, neither the ancient nor the modern had ever revealed the Dao Fruit of Time!
And what he meant by "not daring" was those chaotic demons!
To discuss this clearly, we must mention the complete road ahead.

That's right. Although the past and present have taken a crucial step, they have not completed it. At most, they have only taken half of it!
Today, the theoretical basis for the Dao Ancestor's path forward is very clear: it is to merge the power of the Primordial Beginning and Chaos to become something similar to the Origin Treasure.

Korohong had already conducted numerous experiments during the time of the Accumulated Scale Void Realm.

No matter what method is used, directly fusing the laws of the Primordial Side and the corresponding laws of the Chaos Side will only cause them to be annihilated!
There will be no second outcome!
Luo Hong analyzed the data and found that the main problem lay in his insufficient control over the power of the Great Dao.

After some calculations, Luo Hong came to a conclusion: at least 99% of the power of the Great Dao is required, and one must be able to completely control it, in order to have the possibility of absorbing and fusing the corresponding chaotic side laws!
After the results came out, Luo Hong thought she had reached a dead end, since using 99% of the power of the Great Dao at once was tantamount to suicide.

Before this Dao Ancestor could take the next step, he would directly merge with the Dao, leaving behind only one relic in this world.

Later, he discovered the existence of the "Heart of the Great Dao" by using the Chaos Ancient Array and the Blood Demon Ancestor!

Although the information obtained was extremely scarce, some things could still be deduced.

Firstly, this formation was originally set up in ancient times to help the Heavenly Fiend Saint Emperor condense the Heart of the Great Dao. Its purpose was to give him enough strength to forcibly open up the Demon Realm in the Immortal Realm.

As is well known, the strength of the Dao Ancestor mainly depends on the power of the Great Dao that he is able to or willing to mobilize.

From this, Luo Hong easily deduced that one of the major functions of the Heart of the Great Dao was to give the Dao Ancestor a qualitative change in his ability to control the power of the Great Dao!

This point has now been thoroughly proven, both in ancient and modern times.

He can now freely mobilize ninety percent of the power of the Great Dao and condense the divine flame of the Great Dao!

In this way, all that remains for him to take this step is to absorb and fuse the chaotic time laws!
This is absolutely unacceptable for a chaotic world.

First, they need the Time Demon God to stabilize the Chaos Demon Lord; second, a Primordial Immortal from the beginning of time is definitely not something they want to see.

Having ruled the Heavenly Court for countless years, both ancient and modern, they knew almost all the secrets of the Immortal Realm and many other realms, and of course, they were aware of the existence of the Chaos Demon God.

Therefore, in order to have a chance to complete that final step, he did not hesitate to extract the Time Dao Fruit that he had already condensed and seal it away.

Therefore, he will, like any other Dao Ancestor, constantly suffer the erosion of the Great Dao.

Even if he possesses the Dao Fruit of Time, this is irreversible.

In the original timeline, in order to conceal this glimmer of hope, he did not reveal it even until his demise.

Only a non-human being like a self-corpse could be so ruthless to itself!

Luo Hong admired him immensely!
As for how the Dao Fruit of Time is condensed in ancient or modern times, we must mention the Thirty-Three Heavens Locking Void Array.

This array was originally just a simple way to seal supernatural powers, but after the Ancient Dao God created the Three Thousand Dao God Array, this array could achieve the same effect as the Chaos Ancient Array with just a slight modification.

Therefore, the Heavenly Court of this generation, whether ancient or modern, has clearly shown abnormal control over this formation, even managing to obtain a copy of the formation diagram from Chi Meng.

Using the Demon Realm War and the Savage War as a pretext, Gu Huojin successfully summoned many Dao Ancestors to practice this formation under the guise of a drill.

Although each drill was small in scale, Gu Huojin was able to use the power of time to combine multiple drills into one.

That's why he was able to condense the Time Dao Fruit so secretly!

Although the fruit of the Tao has been achieved, both in ancient and modern times, it has once again faced the desperate situation of having no way forward.

This time, what stood in his way was not the Lord of the Samsara Palace, nor any being from the Primordial World, but the Chaos Gods who wielded the Demon Rings!

Gu Huojin's original plan was to risk everything and use the Three Thousand Dao Gods Formation to become the Time Demon Lord.

Then, taking advantage of the Chaos Demons' lack of reaction time, he could stuff both the Primordial Time Law and the Chaos Time Law into the Time Dao Fruit for fusion!
However, in this life, a huge turning point appeared, and that was Luo Hong herself!
Compared to a single Origin Immortal, the pressure exerted by the Primordial Immortal Venerable on the Chaos Demons was significantly higher, by several orders of magnitude.

Although Luo Hong did not witness firsthand how Gu Huojin and those chaotic demons reached an agreement, the other party must have provided complete information about the path ahead.

After all, even if Gu Huojin possessed the Dao Fruit of Time, he could only contend with Luo Hong, the Primordial Immortal Venerable, to some extent.

Therefore, he must become the Origin Immortal in order to have any hope of eliminating Luo Hong.

It could be said that Luo Hong personally broke the shackles of the past and present! (End of Chapter)
