My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

However, Taiqing, known as the one who hides in the grass and ashes, is the closest being to Hongjun Daozu. These things are not beyond Taiqing's calculations.

Taiqing was the first among the Six Sages to sever his obsession, which was also a kind of loss on the path of cultivation.

In fact, the Great Luo Golden Immortal is indeed the ultimate realm of immortals, but not the ultimate realm of cultivation.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal marks the beginning of transcendence in the primordial world.

The Dao level in the Human Immortal Realm is not high, so the cultivation level is not high and the cultivation culture is not as prosperous as in the prehistoric world.

The primordial world was created by Pangu after he transformed into all things, so Pangu left behind a complete path to transcendence.

This refers to the five realms of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, which are based on a complete law comprehended by the Great Luo Golden Immortal. This law transforms into the Great Dao Law, leading to the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

The laws of the Great Dao differentiate into countless forms, and all these countless laws transform into the laws of the Great Dao, becoming the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal.

The myriad laws of the Great Dao merged into one, transforming into the laws of chaos, becoming the Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal.

The laws of chaos give rise to all things, transforming into the boundless, becoming the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal.

The primordial chaos, the Taiji, and the primordial chaos all represent order, while the Wuji represents disorder. Therefore, to transcend this state, one must use disorder to counteract order.

But after disorder, there must be a return to order, so the beginning of the universe gives rise to order.

When disorder returns to order, the laws will transform to an unimaginable degree, which is the fifth realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, Pangu himself did not know what kind of realm the fifth realm was. In fact, Pangu himself was only a Hongmeng Taiji Dalu Golden Immortal. His creation of heaven and earth and the evolution of all things were in order to use the primordial world to transform the laws into the limitless and become a Hongmeng Wuji Dalu Golden Immortal.

However, for the primordial world, this is a process of order turning into disorder, which also means that the end of the primordial world is the move towards disorder.

This is the Great Calamity, which represents a disruption to the established order.

Therefore, Hongjun, who knew certain truths, led the prehistoric world onto another path, the path of the sages.

Sages represent order, and the purpose of their existence is to strengthen the primordial order.

However, Taiqing is not the true Taiqing of the primordial world, but the creator of Yin and Yang in the realm of humans and immortals.

Therefore, Taiqing is not only cultivating the way of the sage, but also trying to cultivate the way of transcendence of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

However, the laws of the primordial world are all primordial laws, possessing their own consciousness. They are not something that cultivators of the primordial world can control, and it is impossible to comprehend them without becoming the ruler of the world.

Therefore, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun created the Dao of Severing the Three Corpses, which requires one to be free from good and evil and without any attachments to comprehend the laws of chaos.

However, not everyone can sever the obsession corpse, let alone sever the three corpses, which only allows one to comprehend the laws of chaos.

Instead of controlling the laws of chaos, which require the merging of the three corpses, one must also control the laws of chaos.

Therefore, Taiqing adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the actions of the obsessed corpse Buddha.

In other words, the path of cultivation for a Great Luo Golden Immortal ends after reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal level, because the Great Dao Laws do not exist in the primordial world.

Or rather, every Great Dao Law contains the consciousness of chaos.

Therefore, in the primordial world, only Hongjun Daozu was both a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and a Heavenly Dao Saint.

The Great Tribulation was driven by the consciousness of Pangu, so what are the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the primordial world?

The answer is the primordial consciousness. The purpose of Pangu's consciousness initiating the Great Tribulation is to transform his chaotic laws into the infinite laws, which means that the primordial world will eventually descend into chaos.

Thus, the ordering power of the chaotic laws combined and evolved to give rise to the Heavenly Dao, representing absolute order.

Pangu had long foreseen that the Heavenly Dao would oppose him in the primordial world, so he left a contingency plan that caused the Heavenly Dao to split into the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao.

Therefore, the Way of Heaven strives to suppress the growth of the Way of Earth and the Way of Humanity.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Pangu was an evil being, but rather that they were on different levels.

Order will lead to disorder, but disorder will eventually return to order; it's a cycle. The longer the process of order leading to disorder takes, the more likely it is to continue.

The longer the disorder lasts, the greater its impact on all living beings.

But just like Zhao Xuan, many people, as beneficiaries of the old order, do not care about those who have been harmed by it.

Therefore, for most living beings, they are the evil ones.

Taiqing is a seeker of the Dao, as can be seen from the actions of his predecessor, the Lord of Yin and Yang Creation.

Therefore, Taiqing wanted to achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, or even the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan Taiji, the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hongmeng Taiji, the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hongmeng Wuji, and that unknowable great realm.

However, at the same time, Heaven does not allow anyone to continue cultivating the path of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Because the cultivation path of a Great Immortal accelerates the operation of the world.

The Way of Heaven is equivalent to an emperor, the embodiment of the old order. Once the world descends into chaos and a new order is created, the old order will cease to exist, and the Way of Heaven will also cease to exist.

Therefore, Journey to the West is both an attempt by the Heavenly Way and a test by the Taiqing against the Heavenly Way.

These Taiqing had communicated with Zhao Xuan before he arrived, so Zhao Xuan was aware of Taiqing's plans.

Taiqing was also cooperating with Zhao Xuan. For example, Taiqing knew about Sun Wukong's situation.

However, the deity only told the two corpses of good and evil, namely Bodhi Daoist and Laozi, but not the obsessive corpse Tathagata Daoist.

Because the Obsessive Corpse is the embodiment of teaching and reforming obsession, it will not allow any unexpected events to disrupt its plans.

All the spiritual treasures of Taiqing are with Laozi, and even Buddha can only obey Laozi's orders.

Therefore, no matter what Zhao Xuan did, with Laozi helping to cover it up and deceive the Buddha, Tathagata would never know the truth.

Therefore, the only reason for accelerating the cultivation of the Six-Eared Macaque was because Sun Wukong was too strong.

Zhao Xuan was naturally delighted with this.

After waiting for about half a month, Venus descended to earth and found Sun Wukong to negotiate.

After much deliberation and with the advice of others, Sun Wukong ultimately chose to accept the imperial pardon.

In exchange for releasing the divine general, Sun Wukong was directly bestowed the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven by the Jade Emperor.

However, Sun Wukong held an official position in Heaven but had no real authority, spending his days socializing and having fun. So, after several months, he was appointed as the head of the Imperial Horse Administration.

Although they were still involved in raising horses, the position of the Chief of the Imperial Stables was different from that of the position of the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses.

The Imperial Horse Administration is a very important institution in the Heavenly Court. Although it is responsible for raising horses, it raises warhorses, and all the warhorses in the Heavenly Court are under the control of the Imperial Horse Administration.

The Master of the Seal is in charge of all matters concerning warhorses in the Heavenly Court.

That is also one of the hallmarks of the Heavenly Court.

The position of Bi Ma Wen did not originally exist; it was created by the Jade Emperor to accommodate this.

Therefore, the position of Bi Ma Wen (弼马温) did not have an official rank, while the position of Yu Ma Si Zhang Yin (御马司掌印) was a fourth-rank official.

First and second rank titles are basically honorary titles; for example, the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven is just an honorary title.

This is what is often referred to as having an official position but no real power; the real authority lies in the post.

In terms of official rank, the highest rank one can reach is usually the third grade.

Under Zhao Xuan's covert guidance, Sun Wukong was not unaware of his own limitations, so he was already quite satisfied with the fourth rank.

In addition, Sun Wukong knew the weaknesses of his Flower Fruit Mountain, which was far inferior to the Heavenly Court in terms of high-end combat power, so he originally wanted to improve the power of Flower Fruit Mountain in other ways.

Mounts are a great way to do this.

Therefore, the position of Imperial Horse Stable Director was very much to Sun Wukong's liking.

Zhao Xuan began to wonder how this would force Sun Wukong to rebel and then wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Several months passed in the heavens after this, and then demons caused chaos in Beiju Luzhou. The Jade Emperor dispatched Li Jing with 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to the mortal realm to suppress them.

After Li Jing changed his tone three times, the Jade Emperor ordered Sun Wukong to prepare 100,000 warhorses for Li Jing's command.

As a result, Sun Wukong stammered for a long time without saying a word.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that the Imperial Horse Administration, with its million warhorses, could not even muster enough for 100,000 to go on the expedition.

This wasn't a frame-up by outsiders; rather, Sun Wukong stole tens of thousands of warhorses to make up for the deficit and have them mate and reproduce.

You must know that those are fairy horses; breeding them is incredibly difficult.

As a result, the stallions, exhausted after months of toil, became so weak and feeble that they could no longer stand.

Most of the mares were pregnant and therefore unable to go to war.

The rest were either not yet grown up or were old, weak, sick, or disabled, and they couldn't even make up the required 100,000.

Even Zhao Xuan was amused by Sun Wukong's actions; how quickly power corrupts people's hearts, and how someone starts embezzling as soon as they become an official.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor, citing the delay in military operations, removed Sun Wukong from his position as the seal-bearer and appointed him as the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, responsible for looking after pregnant mares giving birth.

Sun Wukong knew he was in the wrong, so he did not resist.

But after becoming the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, he saw only mockery in the eyes of others. He couldn't stand it for more than three days and rebelled, returning to the mortal realm.

After Sun Wukong descended to the mortal realm, Taibai Jinxing also descended to the mortal realm and persuaded Sun Wukong to return.

That makes things easier. The Heavenly Court has not treated Sun Wukong unfairly; he has both official positions and duties. It was your own wrongdoing that led to your punishment.

So Sun Wukong felt guilty and returned, throwing a tantrum and refusing to take on the post of Bi Ma Wen.

So the Jade Emperor went along with it and appointed Sun Wukong as the manager of the Peach Garden.

Sun Wukong had been in the heavens for several months and was no longer the ignorant monkey he once was; naturally, he knew the great name of the peaches of immortality.

Therefore, when the Jade Emperor asked him to take charge of the Peach Garden, he did not feel insulted. On the contrary, he thought that the Jade Emperor valued him, so he gladly accepted.

Zhao Xuan himself did not expect that the Jade Emperor's methods were so smooth. He first gave Sun Wukong the title of Bi Ma Wen (弼马温), and then made Sun Wukong guard the Peach Garden, thus bringing the matter back to the present.

This shows that the Xuanmen sect was very keen on weakening Sun Wukong's foundation.

The Jade Emperor also did not want to give Buddhism a monkey with a full beard and shadow.

Both peaches of immortality and golden pills were things that Sun Wukong absolutely had to eat.

The effect of the peach is to postpone the arrival of calamity, but other effects are not as important to some people.

But what if Sun Wukong no longer needs to overcome the three calamities? He can use a substitute to shift the blame and suffer the calamities in someone else's place.

Those peaches of immortality and golden pills have helped countless people avert the three calamities, thus they have a great karmic connection with heaven and earth.

Sun Wukong stealing the peaches of immortality, the elixir of immortality, and overturning the Eight Trigrams Furnace were all ways of shifting the cause and effect of the peach tree and the furnace onto himself.

The same applies to the subsequent felling of the ginseng fruit tree.

Therefore, Sun Wukong still has to undergo the three calamities, and he has to do so nine times.

However, Heaven cannot be deceived. Thunder disaster represents natural disaster, so there is only one thunder disaster, which is the one time after Da Neng was captured and made a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace.

Sun Wukong's four symbols represent earth, and his five elements belong to metal. Fire overcomes metal, hence the five fire disasters.

The fire was set on fire by the Southern Dipper Fire Department, marking the first fire disaster. It was then forged a second time by the Six Ding Divine Fire in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, a third time by the Guanyin Zen Temple, a fourth time by the Samadhi True Fire of Red Boy, and a fifth time by the fake Banana Leaf Fan at Flaming Mountain.

The three wind disasters were the Three-Flavor Divine Wind of the Yellow Wind King, the True Banana Leaf Fan of Princess Iron Fan, and the Purple Gold Bell of the Tai Sui.

Only then did Sun Wukong truly achieve perfect enlightenment.

After that, he naturally stole the peaches of immortality, and because no one was present at the Peach Banquet, he disrupted the banquet and, while drunk, stole the elixir of immortality.

After consuming the elixir, Sun Wukong sobered up. As the saying goes, once or twice is acceptable, but not a third or fourth time.

He had already made a mistake regarding the warhorses of the Imperial Horse Bureau, and the Jade Emperor was magnanimous enough to only demote him. However, because of the matter of the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, he had rebelled against the Heavenly Court, which was his first crime.

The Jade Emperor was still not magnanimous and appointed himself as the manager of the Peach Garden, since he had first stolen peaches, then disrupted the Peach Banquet, and then stolen the elixir of immortality.

I'm afraid even the Jade Emperor, no matter how magnanimous, wouldn't let me off the hook. I might as well go back to the mortal realm and continue being my demon king.

Therefore, he rebelled and descended to the mortal realm a second time, becoming king and tyrant of Flower Fruit Mountain.

The Jade Emperor naturally sent troops to attack again, so Li Jing once again took orders to lead 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals down to the mortal realm to subdue the demon.

This time, Li Jing was clever. Knowing that Sun Wukong was proficient in formations, he simply surrounded Flower Fruit Mountain and started cursing, trying to lure Sun Wukong out of the mountain so they could fight in the sky.

Most of those divine generals were once mortal generals, so they were quite adept at hurling insults.

Sun Wukong was already agitated and restless because he had swallowed too many peaches of immortality and golden pills. After being scolded, he forgot the taboos of military strategy and flew into the sky with his golden cudgel.

Li Jing, upon seeing this, realized he could no longer be deceived and settled both old and new scores.

The heavenly soldiers set up a net to surround Sun Wukong, and the divine generals swarmed forward, ready to avenge their grievances and settle scores.

The result was that they lured him out and surrounded him, but they didn't expect that Sun Wukong's strength was also extraordinary.

Add to that his impatience and agitation. He didn't know how to hold back anymore. A slightly stronger version of the Golden Cudgel was enough to kill anyone who touched it, kill anyone who bumped into it, break the skin with a slight touch, and injure the tendons with a slight scrape!

Hundreds of divine generals died in a short time. Fortunately, Zhao Xuan secretly controlled the process and prevented the souls from being taken away, leaving the true spirits of the divine generals to return to the Investiture of the Gods.

The Jade Emperor wasn't in a hurry. These generals all had former masters. Although they obeyed his orders, they were all very arrogant and had made countless mistakes. This was a good opportunity to teach them a lesson through Sun Wukong.

However, this made the radiant bodhisattvas who had come to observe the scene restless.

If this fight continues, we're just letting Sun Wukong vent his anger. If Sun Wukong actually absorbs the medicinal properties of the peaches and elixirs during the battle, something terrible might happen.

After absorbing the medicinal properties of these things, one will definitely be able to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After reaching the realm of Great Luo Golden Immortal, how will the tribulations of the Journey to the West be arranged?

The Great Luo Golden Immortal's certification is permanent and cannot be weakened.

The calamity had already been set in motion; how many of those demon mounts could withstand a single blow from Sun Wukong, a Great Luo Golden Immortal?

We can't possibly replace all these people with Great Immortals, can we?
