The Wrong Direction, the Road Has Reached Its End!
He believed this choice would surely place him among the foremost figures of the Mythological Great Luo.
In truth, if he succeeded in breaking through, the unique nature of the Sea of Source Energy would inevitably cause his strength to soar.
Although there were no longer distinct realms after entering the Mythological Great Luo, differences in strength still remained.
Even if he was not the strongest then, he would undoubtedly stand among the very best!
Taiqing was full of confidence. His choice had given him boundless faith in himself.
Especially after completing the second step, he felt utterly refreshed, with inexhaustible source energy flowing through his body.
At that moment, he felt that with a single thought, he could destroy the entire Primordial World.
This was not an illusion, but reality. The power of a Mythological Great Luo was simply this overwhelming.
Without an equally powerful enemy guarding it, destroying the Primordial World would not be difficult for Taiqing.
However, despite his astonishing strength, he had yet to formally advance to the Mythological Great Luo.
The third step had only just begun!
To become a Mythological Great Luo, the third step was the most difficult challenge. The first and second steps combined could not compare to it.
Taiqing called this third step defying fate and changing destiny.
In a sense, this third step required Taiqing to break free from every restriction and truly defy fate and change destiny.
The previous Energy Sea and Energy Conversion had both ultimately been for the sake of defying fate and changing destiny.
Therefore, this third step was of utmost importance, and it was also the most crucial step.
No matter what kind of living being it was, it was burdened by all kinds of restraints from the moment of birth.
Unless one reached the Mythological Great Luo realm, these restraints could never be cast off in an entire lifetime.
Although Taiqing had transcended the Three Realms, existed beyond the Five Elements, and even escaped the restraints of the Energy Sea,
it was not complete, because he had been fused with spiritual energy from birth.
The root of his current powerful body lay in spiritual energy.
Spiritual energy had long since merged completely with his body.
The same was true for others who cultivated through energy.
Thus, the third step was to shatter the shackles of fate, break free from all restraints, and completely escape the control of other Mythological Great Luo experts.
This was undoubtedly immensely difficult, but Taiqing was full of confidence.
Because the Primordial World was boundlessly vast, he could use the Origin Essence of the Primordial World to completely isolate the influence of Mythological Great Luo experts.
In this way, as long as those experts could not affect him, the process of defying fate and changing destiny would be easier and smoother for him than for others.
Thus, while this was difficult for some, it was no great challenge to Taiqing.
Taiqing could endure countless agonies, and his will was incomparably steadfast.
For him, remolding his body was no difficult task. The same was true for other experts who had reached the same level.
However, the greatest danger at this stage was intervention from another Mythological Great Luo. If that happened, the one remolding their body would inevitably suffer countless hardships, and the chance of a successful breakthrough would plummet.
Fortunately, Taiqing had prepared for this long ago. As the Lord of the World, he mobilized the power of the Primordial World and forcibly sealed the entire world.
Although this seal could only last for a limited time, he was certain he could complete his breakthrough before it ended.
The facts proved his confidence right.
After reducing himself to ashes, he used source energy to reconstruct his body.
Now, his body brimmed with vitality. Since he had used source energy rather than spiritual energy throughout the entire process, he had finally escaped the restrictions of the Sea of Spiritual Energy completely and was no longer subject to the control of any Mythological Great Luo.
At that moment, he felt as though endless power filled his body, as if he could destroy everything in existence.
This new body, constructed entirely from source energy, allowed him to truly merge with his own Sea of Origin Essence.
In this state, so long as the world’s source energy did not completely vanish, no one could destroy him.
This was one of the traits possessed by Mythological Great Luo experts.
In addition, Taiqing possessed other traits commonly found among Mythological Great Luo experts, such as omniscience and omnipotence.
Clearly, the power Taiqing now commanded surpassed the Great Dao Realm by an incalculable margin.
The Mythological Great Luo truly lived up to its name!
Such strength was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Although Taiqing had only just broken through, his current strength already placed him among the foremost ranks of the Mythological Great Luo.
Clearly, Taiqing’s path to becoming a Mythological Great Luo was far more powerful than that of others at the same level.
Thus, his strength naturally surpassed theirs as well.
Under such circumstances, many past mysteries unraveled before his eyes one by one.
No secret could remain hidden from Taiqing any longer.
In that instant, Taiqing learned of an important disciple!
"So that’s how it is!"
After becoming a Mythological Great Luo, he had gained insight into everything from the past.
Nothing that had happened before could escape his eyes, and because of this, he found the fundamental reason he had come to this world.
After seeing through the disciple, Taiqing realized that he had originally belonged to the Mythological Great Luo.
It was only that his former self, in pursuit of greater power, had voluntarily sealed his memories and placed them in the Primordial World, allowing himself to embark once more on the path of comprehending the Dao.
Taiqing had once again ascended to the pinnacle of the Mythological Great Luo, creating a new legend.
At that moment, his sealed memories fully awakened. His past experiences intertwined with his present self, as though two Mythological Great Luos had merged into one.
The Taiqing of old had already been among the outstanding figures of the Mythological Great Luo. Now, after merging with his past memories, his strength rose to another level, soaring directly into the realm of the supreme Mythological Great Luo.
He had become a pinnacle existence among Mythological Great Luos, with no one capable of contending against him.
The Taiqing of the past controlled the Sea of Souls, while the Taiqing of the present controlled the Sea of Source Energy.
Both Seas of Origin Essence were supremely powerful. With Taiqing possessing both, his combat strength was naturally even more terrifying.
He was invincible wherever he went, with no one able to stop him.
Taiqing threw back his head and laughed, appearing before the Four Sacred Venerables in an instant.
Looking at the Four Sacred Venerables lost in thought, Taiqing smiled calmly. "What have you comprehended from my breakthrough?"
Tongtian pondered briefly before answering slowly, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother! I have gained some insight, but seeing too much has only left me confused. I do not know where I should go in the future.
Even if I enter seclusion, I can only barely step into the second level of the Heavenly Dao Realm. I remain far behind the truly powerful."
Taiqing had not displayed any power, yet Tongtian could still sense how utterly unreachable he was.
This was not intentional. If Taiqing had wished to conceal himself, he would not have spoken at all.
That was the gap between them.
Master Tongtian felt deeply powerless. He felt there was an uncrossable gulf between himself and Taiqing.
Even with Taiqing standing right before him, he could barely perceive him.
It was not because Taiqing had deliberately concealed his aura, but because Tongtian truly could not see him.
At this moment, Taiqing’s existence had merged into the real world.
Being able to see through reality was one of the necessary conditions for becoming a Mythical Realm expert.
However, Tongtian clearly had not yet reached that realm.
Hearing this, Taiqing sighed softly before bringing Tongtian into his Fantasy World.
"This is my Fantasy World. The distance between you and the Mythical Realm is far smaller than you imagine.
The reason you feel such an enormous gap is because you have yet to understand the essence of mythology.
Now, I will give you an opportunity to see everything clearly.
If you can gain insight from it, the path of mythology will no longer be distant."
As soon as Taiqing finished speaking, the expressions of the other three Sacred Venerables changed subtly.
Although they felt anticipation in their hearts, they also found it somewhat difficult to speak up.
In truth, they too wished to enter the Fantasy World Taiqing had spoken of, just like Tongtian, and comprehend the essence of the Mythological Great Luo.
Taiqing naturally noticed their hesitation, but he did not rush them.
After all, the other three Sacred Venerables were more talented than Tongtian. Otherwise, Tongtian would not have been the only one still stuck at the first level of the Heavenly Dao Realm.
Therefore, Taiqing decided to take another approach and give them a helping hand.
The Gate of Eternal Life!
This heaven-defying divine artifact was the answer.
Taiqing had comprehended the Mythical Dao from it. Although the other three Sacred Venerables were not as talented as Taiqing, the gap was not too great.
He firmly believed that they would surely uncover countless mysteries within it and comprehend the true essence of Mythological Great Luo experts!
So long as they could gain some insight, Taiqing was confident he could help them enter the Mythological Great Luo realm.
Although this would consume a great deal of his time, he believed it was well worth it!
"This is the supreme treasure that suppresses the Eternal Life World!
The achievements of the Eternal Life World could not have existed without it.
This treasure was created by a Mythological Great Luo expert. Though it was not made with their full strength, it still contains many profound mysteries.
If you can comprehend the principles within it, you too may gradually advance toward the Mythical Realm, like Tongtian!
Tongtian’s comprehension is insufficient, so I can only send him into the Fantasy World for long periods to temper his will and allow him to possess certain traits of a Mythological Great Luo expert.
But your talents far surpass Tongtian’s. The Gate of Eternal Life will surely benefit you tremendously!"
Taiqing tossed out the Gate of Eternal Life and entrusted it to Houtu for safekeeping.
Houtu accepted it with a smile, then returned to their respective cultivation grounds with the other two Sacred Venerables.
It seemed they were determined to study it thoroughly this time.
In order to break through to the Mythological Great Luo, they would surely give it their all and search desperately for the secrets of the Gate of Eternal Life.
Taiqing was filled with anticipation. At the same time, his gaze fell upon Great Dao Pangu.
The trait of omniscience and omnipotence allowed Taiqing to immediately detect Great Dao Pangu’s location, and he promptly turned and arrived at his side.
Looking at Great Dao Pangu, who was focused on cultivation, Taiqing said, "Some paths, once the direction is chosen incorrectly…"
No matter how hard you continue forward, the end of the road will still be endless darkness, and in the end, you cannot escape the fate of failure.
"The direction is wrong. The road has reached its end!"
Great Dao Pangu slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was sharp, and his tone resolute. "That is absolutely impossible! I feel that the road ahead is full of hope. This path cannot be wrong!"
Hearing this, Taiqing felt both bitter and helpless. He said, "You truly chose the wrong path! Look at me, then look at yourself, and you will understand why it is wrong!
You believe the road ahead is limitless, but in truth, this path has already reached its end.
If that were not the case, why would you have made no progress all these years, with your strength still unchanged?
If this path were not wrong, your cultivation would surely have advanced by leaps and bounds rather than stagnating.
So this path is indeed wrong.
However, I have a better path here. If you succeed, becoming a Mythological Great Luo will be within reach!"
Great Dao Pangu hesitated slightly after hearing this. Once Taiqing had finished, his heart shook even more. He said, "I noticed it long ago, but I did not dare believe it!
Today, you have awakened me to the truth. I have no choice but to admit this fact!
I never expected you to have already broken through!
Even more astonishingly, you leaped directly from the Heavenly Dao Realm to the Mythological Great Luo!
It seems the Great Dao Realm should never have existed, or perhaps this path itself is wrong!
I should not have clung to it back then and wasted so much time, only to receive such an outcome. I cannot accept this!
Tell me, what kind of path is it?"
Clearly, Great Dao Pangu had long realized there was a problem, but it was already too late.
He had become deeply trapped on this path and could not turn back. He could only continue onward.
Even if he crashed into a wall, he would not regret it!
Fortunately, Taiqing had already broken through and found a viable path.
Since Taiqing was willing to take him along, there was no need for him to stand on ceremony.
Thus, he asked directly.
Clearly, he now understood that continuing down the old path would only lead to a dead end.
If he continued along the old road, he would ultimately be unable to escape the fate of failure.
But if he opened another path, the result might be entirely different!
"I possess an exceptionally powerful spirit-word technique, born from an evolution of Word of Law. Its might is extraordinary.
If you can fully grasp its mysteries, integrate them into yourself, draw inferences from one instance to many others, and comprehend a spirit-word technique unique to you, gaining the traits of a Mythological Great Luo,
then becoming a Mythological Great Luo will be within reach!"
