My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World
Chapter 139 The Tunnel Tremors
And so, after a series of operations, something astonishing happened. The sage's sacred treasure remained completely undamaged.
The various deities who originally came to assist and attempt to gain some merit and benefits ended up suffering considerable losses.
After the massive uproar caused by the Myriad Treasures Refining Heaven Array gradually subsided, the immortals and gods assessed the losses. They discovered that, apart from the sages, the human race suffered the least damage.
It's important to understand that although the human race has risen to prominence in recent years and has almost conquered the entire vast and boundless prehistoric land, they are actually very poor in essence.
Compared to other races, humans lack powerful magical artifacts and rare resources, and have always relied on their own wisdom and courage to survive and develop.
The rise of the human race was relatively late. Before the human race, the five races of innate five elemental divine beasts, the two races of witch and demon, the seven saints, innate saints, and so on, had already basically divided up all the spiritual treasures and spiritual plants.
Humans simply don't have many impressive spiritual treasures and plants to offer. Even if one or two seemingly decent spiritual treasures occasionally appear, they are mostly the kind known as "luck-based spiritual treasures."
These so-called "auspicious treasures" are not something that can be used casually.
It is bound to those with great fortune among the human race, and only those with great fortune can use it.
These magical treasures are inextricably linked to the fate of humanity; they cannot be used lightly except for matters of great importance to humanity, and each use consumes a large amount of humanity's fortune.
Moreover, once these magical treasures are damaged, they will cause the human race's energy to fluctuate.
The Xuanyuan Sword and the Nine Provinces Cauldron are such spiritual treasures.
The relationship between the human race and the Primordial Celestial Venerable has never been harmonious; in fact, there have been some contradictions and conflicts.
It was for this reason that none of the thirty-six quasi-saints of the human race entered the Myriad Treasures Connecting Heaven Formation.
Zhao Xuan's creation of the Human Immortal Martial Arts for the human race is unique.
The Human Immortal Realm is the pinnacle of Human Immortal Martial Arts. Because it is based on martial arts, it only focuses on the accumulation and sublimation of Qi and blood, and does not require understanding the rules. Therefore, it is not connected to the rules of Heaven and does not have the external manifestation of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Converging at the Origin.
Furthermore, since the Qi and Blood Golden Elixir is deeply hidden within the acupoints, no one will know the realm of the Human Immortal Martial Arts unless one takes action.
Before the rise of the human race, most human cultivators who achieved success in their cultivation joined the Xuanmen or Buddhist sects. Therefore, there were very few truly powerful cultivators belonging to the human race.
The cultivators chosen by the human race to assist the Primordial Celestial Venerable in setting up the formation were those who had been cultivating since ancient times, but who were loyal to the human race and unwilling to submit to the Xuanmen or Buddhist sects and act as accomplices to drive the human race.
These practitioners were not recognized by the Taoist and Buddhist sects, so they either hid in various places to cultivate in seclusion, or they hid in the royal family and used the luck of the human race to hide themselves.
They were all dirt poor, not to mention spiritual treasures and plants, they didn't even have any elixirs or anything like that.
He only reached the Golden Immortal realm through arduous cultivation and the accumulation of time, yet he possessed only the realm without any real combat ability.
All the treasures held by the humans who entered the formation were provided by Yuanshi Tianzun, Nuwa, the Heavenly Court, and Buddhism.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable used his powers to move the human race out of the formation, but they suffered a backlash from the formation, which severely damaged their vitality.
The explanation given by Yuanshi Tianzun was that he failed to protect the treasures bestowed upon humankind.
Despite his resentment, Yuanshi Tianzun held a lofty position as a Heavenly Dao Saint, and as long as a Heavenly Dao Saint had a legitimate reason for acting, he was not wrong.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors ultimately suppressed their anger.
In other words, the human race only suffered more injuries during the calamities of the Emperor and Donghuang Taiyi.
Since the Earthly Immortal Realm has now been upgraded, the spiritual energy has become extremely rich and abundant. The human race has gained a dominant position in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and those seemingly serious injuries can be completely restored after a hundred years of recuperation.
The human race has not lost a single one of these non-renewable treasures, such as spiritual treasures and spiritual roots.
When Yuanshi Tianzun saw the phantom of Pangu appear and suppress the four members of the Journey to the West to the bottom of the Flowing Sand River, which became a calamity, he was furious in the Heavenly Court.
However, his anger had no effect.
Not to mention the self-destruction of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi under Zhao Xuan's control, which destroyed tens of thousands of treasures, it remains to be seen whether the saints and various forces can still produce tens of thousands of treasures to set up an array.
Even if they were to bring out tens of thousands more treasures, it would still be difficult to gather enough manpower at this point.
After all, given the methods Yuanshi Tianzun used against the human race in the end, it was clear that the human race would not send anyone to assist him in setting up the formation.
Furthermore, Yuanshi Tianzun had only seen the phantoms of Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Pangu, but knew nothing about Rahu.
Although as sages of the Heavenly Dao, they could know everything under heaven with just a few calculations, such divination techniques often involved heavenly secrets.
We are currently in the midst of a great calamity triggered by the consciousness of Pangu. The consciousness of the great calamity is fiercely clashing with the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, causing the secrets of Heaven to fall into a state of extreme chaos.
In this situation, even the slightest negligence could result in a severe backlash from the heavens.
Even a powerful sage would not dare to attempt to make calculations at this time in the face of such risks.
Furthermore, Yuanshi Tianzun was arrogant and stubborn, and did not communicate with others, which greatly limited his access to information, making it difficult for him to deduce more valuable information.
However, others witnessed the calamity firsthand, including that of Kameyama.
As everyone knows, it was the three calamities—the Turtle Mountain Calamity, the Rahu Calamity, and the Floating Mountain Calamity—that were not originally part of the plan, that caused the Great Calamity to evolve into its current severe state.
Everyone can clearly see that these calamities that should not have happened are showing a continuous upward trend.
On Turtle Mountain, Sun Wukong broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but he actually used the Great Luo Golden Immortal tribulation to outwit a powerful Quasi-Saint.
Immediately afterwards, Rahu advanced to the Saint level and was able to set up the incredibly powerful Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
When Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi appeared, even the Taiqing Saint could not withstand them and was sealed for 2,500 years. In the end, it took a thousand years to break them by relying on the power of the three saints and the Wanbao Refining Heaven Array.
When the phantom of Pangu appeared, the many immortals and gods could not even imagine how terrifying this calamity would be.
Therefore, they all chose to remain silent and dared not show their faces easily.
As for the sage Nuwa, although she did not know much about the specific situation, she paid the price of one-tenth of her fortune in order to gain the help of the human race.
Of course, there may also be some personal feelings involved. For example, when she saw the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors together with the current Emperor Li Shimin, she was worried that her elder brother would be treated unfairly, so she wanted to bolster his reputation.
However, with the guarantee of the Sage Nuwa, the human race and the Primordial Heavenly Lord temporarily put aside their grievances and joined forces to set up the Myriad Treasures Refining Heaven Array. But in the end, they unexpectedly betrayed the human race. This behavior undoubtedly trampled on the dignity of the Sage Nuwa.
Did they really think that the saint Nuwa was without any feminine temper?
In the eyes of the Sage of Taiqing, the actions of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable at this moment were nothing short of brain-dead.
While Yuanshi Tianzun's usual personality was indeed somewhat unpleasant, even bordering on wicked, it wasn't quite this bad. The real reason for his actions lay in the sudden arrival of the mysterious and unpredictable Heavenly Dao consciousness upon him.
The reward from the Heavenly Dao consciousness allowed him to suddenly gain power a hundred times stronger than that of a Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal, going from a Heavenly Dao Saint Realm equivalent to a Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal.
Such a tremendous leap in power is an opportunity that any cultivator would dream of.
But as the saying goes, "fortune may be a blessing in disguise," and after gaining such immense power in a short period of time, Yuanshi Tianzun's state of mind inevitably fluctuated, making him difficult to control. It was precisely because of this that he made such a mistake.
In stark contrast, the strategy employed by the Sage of Taiqing was far more sophisticated.
He was well-versed in the ways of Heaven's plans and could utilize them in an ingenious way, thereby quietly gaining numerous benefits for himself.
Although the speed at which the power of the Supreme Sage increased was astonishing, this growth was by no means accidental or lucky. On the contrary, it was entirely due to the Supreme Sage's long-term, unwavering cultivation of his mind.
The Supreme Saint's foundation is solid and stable, which is why he was able to withstand the rapid improvement in his realm and power in a short period of time.
After resolving the calamity caused by Di Jun and Tai Yi, the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao separated from Yuanshi Tianzun.
The power that Yuanshi Tianzun could control suddenly decreased again. Between this rise and fall, Yuanshi Tianzun only lost his composure. The fact that he did not go crazy meant that his state of mind was stable.
When his mind was in such a state of turmoil, the appearance of the phantom of Pangu was undoubtedly a huge shock to Yuanshi Tianzun.
However, for Yuanshi Tianzun, this was both a great humiliation and a great opportunity.
Previously, when the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao descended, it mobilized nearly half of the immense power of the primordial world to assist it.
Yuanshi Tianzun had been cultivating the Dao of Elucidating Heaven. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he used the authority of the Dao of Heaven to guide this powerful force, which would be of immeasurable benefit to his understanding and cultivation of the Great Dao of Elucidating Heaven.
The other sages might resist the arrival of the Heavenly Dao consciousness upon them.
After all, such powerful external intervention could very well disrupt their original cultivation rhythm and state of mind.
But Yuanshi Tianzun was completely different. He was not only fearless, but also full of joy and hoped to once again trigger the descent of the Heavenly Dao consciousness.
Of course, this is also because the calamity has just ended, and the mind of the Primordial Celestial Venerable has not yet recovered.
Moreover, the Journey to the West calamity has been elevated to the level of an immeasurable calamity, and the calamity energy can now influence the judgment of sages.
After the Heavenly Dao consciousness descended, taking advantage of the unstable state of mind of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Calamity Qi seized the opportunity to enter his body and affect him, causing the Primordial Celestial Venerable to temporarily lose his ability to judge the crisis.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Saint of Taiqing, whose realm had been elevated, was no longer affected by the great calamity.
Not only did they see the situation of Yuanshi Tianzun's calamity energy entering his body, but they also saw through Yuanshi Tianzun's little scheme.
However, in the eyes of the Supreme Sage, the longer the struggle with this calamity continues, the more the Heavenly Dao consciousness and the Pangu consciousness hidden behind it will become unable to restrain themselves.
As a result, the benefits they bring will inevitably increase.
As a descendant of Pangu, the wisest course of action at this time would be to be opportunistic, to benefit from both sides, to seize all the advantages, and to devote all efforts to improving one's own strength. This is the right path.
If the Sage of Taiqing were to cultivate the Great Dao of Elucidation, he might as well delay for tens of thousands of years, thoroughly understanding the laws governing the operation of the Heavenly Dao, which would surely allow his Great Dao of Elucidation to enter a new realm.
Because the soul of the Taiqing Sage originated from the realm of humans and immortals, he held no reverence whatsoever for Pangu, the god who created the primordial world and the Heavenly Dao that governs the operation of all things in the universe.
That is why, although he could understand the feelings and thoughts of Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and others, it was extremely difficult for him to truly put himself in their shoes.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhao Xuan was controlling the Pangu phantom. The enormous and mighty Pangu phantom split into twelve figures of different shapes.
These figures were either tall and imposing, agile and graceful, or mysterious and unpredictable... Each figure exuded a powerful aura that made people's hearts tremble.
Those who had been secretly observing the movements of the Liusha River were struck dumb when they witnessed this scene. They were all so shocked that they almost went mad.
Because they recognized them at a glance—these were none other than the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
What's even more astonishing is that the aura emanating from these twelve Ancestral Witches is in no way inferior to that of Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, the two beings who once sealed away the Taiqing Saint.
Moreover, what appeared before them was not just one or two Ancestral Witches, but all twelve Ancestral Witches gathered together in perfect order.
Such a lineup was so overwhelming that everyone present had the illusion that the opponent didn't even bother with pretense and was simply displaying their terrifying strength in its rawest form.
Looking at the two major calamities that have already passed, aside from Rahu, who possesses the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal and is equipped with the Four Swords of Zhuxian.
There are also the Emperor and Donghuang Taiyi, who are at the Hunyuan Taiji Golden Immortal level and wield the Hetu Luoshu and the Chaos Bell, two peerless magic treasures.
This is already outrageous enough. After all, the Chaos Bell can be said to have been lost and found, but the Four Swords of Zhuxian, the Zhuxian Sword Diagram, and the Hetu and Luoshu all have owners now.
It's already outrageous enough that a second identical one appears.
However, although everyone was full of doubts, they had no solid evidence and could only temporarily assume that it was done by him.
But now, the Twelve Ancestral Witches have appeared, capable of summoning the phantom of Pangu.
It should be understood that Houtu had already reincarnated, so how could she possibly regain her original form as an ancestral witch?
Even more so, the legendary Heaven-Opening Axe and the Thirty-Six-Petal Creation Lotus are simply inexplicable.
Long before the creation of the world, both of these treasures were broken. All the renowned and prestigious top-grade innate spiritual treasures and supreme innate treasures in the primordial world evolved from their fragments.
The fragments are still in the original owner's hands, so where did the original body come from?
This is clearly the person behind the scenes who has intervened at such a high level, and they don't even want to pretend anymore.
