My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

As the Great Calamity transformed into the Immeasurable Great Calamity, all the saints and immortals began to return to the Primordial World, thus resolving the crisis in the Human and Immortal Realms. This meant that Zhao Xuan's goal had been achieved.

However, he was not in a hurry to enter the prehistoric world. Instead, he chose to stay here and waited for three thousand years.

However, the primordial world no longer has much to do with Zhao Xuan.

Back when that earth-shattering calamity evolved into an immeasurable calamity, Zhao Xuan decisively withdrew his Ancestral Witch clone and also gathered back his scattered consciousness. From then on, he never interfered in any matters concerning the prehistoric world again.

The reason Zhao Xuan did not leave the prehistoric world was to wait for the return of the Tongtian Sect Master, as well as for the true spirits of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Chang Xi, and Hong Yun to condense into physical bodies.

Zhao Xuan's power has surpassed that of everyone in the primordial world. If Zhao Xuan wanted to, he could fight against the entire primordial world by himself.

The only thing of value left in the entire primordial world was the legendary god Pangu.

Unfortunately, the great god Pangu had already transformed into all things and vanished into the world.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Xuan had no better option than to treat the search for clues about Pangu as a huge jigsaw puzzle, collecting information about Pangu bit by bit.

In mythology, when the great god Pangu transformed into all things, the essence of his primordial spirit differentiated into the Three Pure Ones; the essence of his physical body gave birth to the Twelve Ancestral Witches; even the sun and moon that hang high in the sky were formed from Pangu's eyes.

Furthermore, all the countless scenes and weather phenomena in the primordial world originated from the diffusion and changes of Pangu's Qi.

However, among all the auras, the most precious and mysterious is the righteous aura that is said to have been transformed by Pangu, and it is said that it eventually transformed into red clouds.

Therefore, the best approach is to wait, to wait for those who were formed from the essence of Pangu's power to regain their physical bodies and reassemble this information.

Zhao Xuan then went on to directly analyze the information gathered together by those entities.

They waited for a full three thousand years!

Over these three thousand years, the primordial world has undergone earth-shattering changes.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, Zhunti Daoist, and Jieyin Daoist all rushed back to the prehistoric world, but they only brought back their most valued and prized disciples.

The vast majority of people are still trapped in chaos, struggling to move forward.

As the saying goes, if you are slow in one step, you will be slow in every step. Because the Tongtian Sect Leader and others needed time to return to the prehistoric world, they had already fallen far behind.

So when they returned, the word "crazy" could only describe it; they sped along non-stop, like lightning.

The once highly anticipated Journey to the West has now become utterly meaningless.

At this moment, the primordial aura is pervasive and so dense as to be suffocating; it cannot be easily dissipated simply by spreading the Western scriptures eastward after the Journey to the West ends.

Given the current immeasurable level of the primordial world, there are very few ways to successfully overcome that terrifying immeasurable calamity.

Either one must break through to the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal, making oneself flawless and completely severing the connection with the Primordial World, thus safely surviving this catastrophe on one's own.

Either acquire the Dao Fruit, and under its protection, preserve your true spirit, waiting for the time when heaven and earth are reborn, and use this power to reshape yourself.

Alternatively, one must harden their heart and kill someone of equal strength, transferring the calamity onto that person and making them bear the burden of the calamity.

Each time a person is killed, a portion of the calamity aura surrounding the user dissipates.

However, if the calamity energy is not completely eradicated before the immeasurable calamity ends, it will reappear and erupt.

All living beings in the primordial world will have to face this calamity once again.

This cycle continues endlessly until the world is finally destroyed and everything returns to chaos.

This is the meaning behind the word "immeasurable" in the so-called "immeasurable kalpa".

In this long and cruel process, three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, but for the many powerful beings in the prehistoric world, it seemed as if they had experienced tens of millions of years of vicissitudes.

During this period, almost all the powerful beings chose to self-destruct their three corpses and clones, reducing their cultivation level to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in order to achieve the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, even though they are both among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, their combat power is worlds apart.

Those who lowered their cultivation level and were reborn as Great Luo Golden Immortals, even if they were only at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, their true strength was no less than that of ordinary Quasi-Saints.

Under these circumstances, Sun Wukong transformed into the number one figure in this prehistoric world.

It should be noted that Sun Wukong did not follow the path of severing the three corpses, therefore his combat power was not diminished in the slightest.

However, we must exclude Houtu, who was originally a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, and Taiqing Laozi, who has secretly broken through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

After Zhao Xuan successfully collected all the information related to Pangu, he left the prehistoric world.

But just as Zhao Xuan was about to step out of the prehistoric world, he suddenly caught sight of a figure standing in front of him.

When he looked closely, he was shocked to discover that the figure was a manifestation of Pangu's consciousness, seemingly waiting quietly for his arrival.

As Zhao Xuan gazed at the figure before him, a wave of complex emotions welled up within him.

It is truly unimaginable that the once mighty Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal, a great being with the power to create the world, has now fallen into such a pitiful and desolate state.

As if it could read Zhao Xuan's thoughts, Pangu bowed slightly to Zhao Xuan and said in a slow voice, "Pangu greets fellow Daoist. I am deeply grateful for your help in resolving my predicament."

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan quickly clasped his hands in return and said, "How could I dare to accept such power from a great master? It was merely a coincidence."

Subsequently, Zhao Xuan engaged in an in-depth exchange with the consciousness of Pangu. After obtaining permission from the consciousness of Pangu, he conducted a thorough investigation of it.

After completing this contact, Pangu's consciousness transformed into a stream of light and swiftly left the primordial world.

Zhao Xuan knew that this seemingly simple exchange actually contained a profound mystery, which was Pangu's consciousness taking the opportunity to eliminate the cause and effect between the two.

As the saying goes, "Sages are not bound by cause and effect." How could a being like Pangu, who transcends even sages, be easily bound by cause and effect?

But the truth is that, like the law of cause and effect, which is so powerful, it also harbors endless possibilities. From the most basic level of the law of cause and effect, to the more profound level of the law of origin, and even the level of the law of chaos or the law of infinity, all of these are possible.

The so-called sages are not involved in cause and effect simply because the laws of cause and effect in the primordial world were still at a relatively low level.

However, once one is in chaos, no one can say for sure whether there are higher-level, more complex and mysterious laws of cause and effect.

This is why even a powerful god like Pangu was extremely wary of the possible unknown causes and effects, and avoided them at all costs.

As for the exact cause and effect between Zhao Xuan and the Great God Pangu, what is the relationship between them?

Ultimately, it was simply due to the prudent actions of the great god Pangu.

Pangu, having experienced countless trials and tribulations during his countless years of cultivation, knew that any small cause and effect could lead to unpredictable changes. Therefore, he remained highly vigilant about all potential causal relationships and dared not slacken in the slightest.

Zhao Xuan pushed the calamity to an immeasurable calamity, his initial intention indeed being to resolve the invasion of the Human and Immortal Realms by the Primordial World. However, this action inadvertently provided Pangu with a powerful boost.

At that time, Pangu's consciousness was already in an extremely dangerous predicament, suffering strong suppression from the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao.

In those prehistoric fanfictions from my past life, there was a saying that "after Journey to the West, there will be countless eons."

The literal meaning is that since the end of Journey to the West, there have been no more great calamities in the primordial world.

However, this does not mean that the prehistoric world was truly completely cut off from the Great Tribulation after the Journey to the West. In fact, it was only because after the Journey to the West, the Heavenly Dao successfully explored a set of effective strategies to weaken the power and influence of the Great Tribulation.

In this way, Pangu's consciousness could no longer use the power of the Great Tribulation to make the prehistoric world proceed according to the established procedure, and he himself could only be gradually assimilated and absorbed by the order, eventually becoming a member of the order.

From this point on, his chances of breaking through to the Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal realm will be completely gone.

However, Pangu had already taken this situation into account, and he would not sit idly by in the face of any crisis.

He had already meticulously planned a series of backup plans. For example, the clever possession of Taiqing by the Lord of Yin and Yang was one of the backup plans left by Pangu.

It should be understood that the Three Pure Ones were all transformed from the essence of Pangu's primordial spirit. Even the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao could not affect the consciousness of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Without the permission of Pangu's consciousness, how could the Lord of Yin and Yang, the creator of creation, possess the body of the Supreme Pure One?

It is no exaggeration to say that without the meticulously planned strategy devised by the Great God Pangu, Zhao Xuan would not have been able to come to the prehistoric world.

If the Great God Pangu had stopped the Lord of Yin and Yang from possessing Taiqing's body, then the worlds they inhabited would probably be like two parallel lines that never intersect, with almost no connection or intersection between them.

In this way, Zhao Xuan would not enter the prehistoric world to solve troublesome matters, nor would his arrival push the original calamity to the level of an immeasurable calamity, thereby prompting the complete awakening of Pangu's consciousness.

When the Lord of Yin and Yang attempted to seize the body of Taiqing, it was actually just a small, hidden move planted by the Great God Pangu in a flash of inspiration.

Even the great god Pangu himself probably never expected that this seemingly insignificant move would play such an amazing and huge role in the future!

After Zhao Xuan successfully analyzed the relevant information left behind by Pangu, the mythological laws he controlled rose to the level of ninety percent of the chaotic laws.

However, Zhao Xuan remained nonchalant about this rapid improvement.

Because he knew very well that witnessing these mythical figures could indeed help the laws of mythology grow rapidly in the early stages, which was a shortcut.

However, this does not mean that mythological laws can continue to advance without restraint simply by constantly witnessing mythological figures.

During his upbringing in his previous life, Zhao Xuan was familiar with a wide variety of mythologies.

It includes not only the ancient and profound Chinese mythology, but also many other mythological systems such as the exotic and mysterious Norse mythology, the ancient and unique Indian mythology, and the distinctive Japanese mythology.

Even in the modern society before the time travel, mythologies such as the Cthulhu Mythos, which had once been dormant, have been revitalized and reinterpreted in various forms.

Zhao Xuan is only witnessing one mythological system.

Therefore, the laws of mythology cannot reach perfection simply by witnessing the Chinese mythological system.

One crucial factor in the transformation of mythological laws to the level of 90% chaotic laws lies in the vast and profound information contained within the consciousness of Pangu.

In reality, to truly embark on the path of cultivating mythical laws...

Besides witnessing and analyzing mythological figures, there are two more crucial paths: first, becoming a myth; second, creating a myth.

Zhao Xuan calls it a trilogy: witnessing myths, becoming myths, and creating myths.

Becoming a myth lays the foundation for the laws of mythology, while witnessing a myth provides the nourishment for the growth of the laws of mythology.

The creation of myths serves to protect the laws of mythology, enabling them to directly confront other laws.

The reason why the laws of mythology underwent a transformation and ascended to the level of the laws of chaos was closely related to his reliance on figures such as Luo Hou, Di Jun, and Donghuang Taiyi, who held pivotal positions in the primordial world.

It was precisely because Zhao Xuan used them to cause a huge sensation in the prehistoric world and placed himself in mythology that he accumulated the foundation for the mythological laws to transform into ninety percent of the chaotic laws.

In addition, Zhao Xuan once made full use of the boundless spirituality contained in the primordial world to construct three fundamental laws and establish the three mythical forms.

This was also an act of creating mythology, which is why they were able to seize the opportunity after encountering the consciousness of Pangu.

After all, the information contained within Pangu's consciousness was far more powerful than the laws of mythology, but the final result was not that the laws of mythology were dispersed, but rather that the laws of mythology absorbed its nourishment.

It is because of the foundation accumulated in the past and the three mythical forms that the mythical laws are protected.

Zhao Xuan's greatest gain was not that the mythological laws had transformed into ninety percent of the chaotic laws.

Instead, they realized the flaws in the laws of chaos.

For example, the chaotic laws of the great god Pangu are indeed the laws of force.

The path that Pangu took before becoming the controller of the laws of chaos was the same as that of Zhao Xuan.

It is not about refining laws by creating the world and evolving endless laws, thus causing them to transform.

Instead, it uses the Law of Force to continuously absorb the essence of other laws, nourishing the growth of the Law of Force itself.

However, the effects of force are mutual, so cultivating the laws of force requires an extremely powerful physical body.

The essence of the Law of Force is confrontation, so the Law of Force is the law of attack first. However, the Law of Force not only confronts the external world, but also confronts itself.

Therefore, during the process of transforming into the Wuji Law, other great cultivators seize the opportunity, creating a situation of conflict between order and chaos.
