Yuan's Ascension-Chapter 1028: The Great Daos Authority, Consciousness Unified
Chapter 1028: The Great Dao's Authority, Consciousness Unified
The previous two successors both failed the third stage, then were transported away to attempt branding their imprint on the Great Dao's Authority. Both failed, as expected.
In the Creation Dao Master's initial plan, he believed that even if they were unable to become Ancestral Pagoda Archons, those who could pass his nine trials and then the first and second stages of the final test would still have a certain probability of gaining the Great Dao's Authority's approval.
Unfortunately, the first two successors ultimately failed. Now, it was Wu Yuan's turn, and he was the most promising so far. After 15,000 years of tempering, becoming an Ancestral Pagoda Archon, Wu Yuan was confident.
Whoosh! Wu Yuan felt the void before him tremble slightly, and he arrived in a vast, boundless void. It was endless and limitless, without any stars or higher-dimensional celestial bodies. There was only a faint, dim light. But Wu Yuan couldn't tell what the source of the light was.
Hm? Wu Yuan's gaze sharpened, piercing the distant void.
There, a towering figure stood, appearing at some unknown time. No! To be precise, it was just an illusory figure.
He was about one light-year tall. Ancient and heavy azure battle armor adorned his enormous body. He stood in the dim void like a giant straddling heaven and earth, treading upon chaos. His eyes were dark, gazing down at Wu Yuan from afar. Though he seemed illusory, his gaze was incomparably real.
At that moment, Wu Yuan felt his Yuan Soul tremble, his breathing growing difficult.
All Daos and methods were suppressed. In heaven and earth, only this towering shadowy figure remained. He seemed like the incarnation of the eternal Great Dao, transcending heaven and earth, transcending this spacetime, towering above all.
The Creation Dao Master! It must be the Creation Dao Master. Wu Yuan was indescribably shocked.
He was now certain that this towering illusory figure before him was the eternal being he had seen in the depths of the Abyss region within the Well of Life. That corpse was the Creation Dao Master's remains.
At the time, Wu Yuan had speculated that the true bodies of the weakest level of eternal beings likely wouldn't be so magnificent after death. Moreover, Wu Yuan hadn't seen any injuries on the corpse then.
However, though he could now confirm that what he encountered previously was the Creation Dao Master's corpse, Wu Yuan couldn't dwell on it too much now. He was gritting his teeth and persevering, resisting the vast and majestic pressure emanating from the Creation Dao Master's illusory figure.
A mere illusory figure is more terrifying than True Saint Taiyuan's true body? Wu Yuan found it somewhat inconceivable. Is this what a Dao Master is like?
It involuntarily reminded Wu Yuan of when he had seen Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu. The two were very similar. But that was Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu’s true body, while what stood before him was just an illusory figure, which seemed too outrageous.
No, that's not it. Wu Yuan vaguely realized the reason.
"Upon receiving the Authority, you may wield the Order of the Primordium," the towering figure of the Dao Master slowly spoke. His voice was majestic, echoing through this dim void and resonating directly in the depths of Wu Yuan's spirit.
"The Authority is like a saber, able to cut through all illusions; the Authority is like a lock, able to seal away your thoughts... Success or failure, all lies in a single thought of yours.
“I am not your teacher, I am merely a forerunner," the Dao Master's projection looked down at Wu Yuan, a trace of complex emotion flashing in his eyes. "Alas, I ultimately failed. I wish you success."
This illusory figure was born from endless years ago, from many samsara cycles of heaven and earth prior. Yet it also seemed to be newly created, incredibly realistic.
As for Wu Yuan? Every word of the Dao Master seemed to hold the profound truths of the Great Dao, containing primordial power. They resonated in his spirit the moment they sounded, immersing him within.
Boom! The towering illusory figure transformed into countless points of light, ignoring the obstacles of spacetime to surge into Wu Yuan's body.
It was as if a vast and magnificent universe had smashed directly into Wu Yuan, jolting his entranced mind.
The Dao essence! Creation. From this terrifying impact, Wu Yuan immediately regained some clarity, realizing that his fusion with the Great Dao's Authority had already begun.
Withstanding the impact of this eternal Great Dao essence imprint represented success. If he couldn't endure it? Failure!
The Great Dao of Creation. Wu Yuan easily withstood the impact, and in an instant, felt an unprecedented closeness to the essence of the Great Dao of Creation. Countless insights into the Dao surged into his mind.
Hm? The Law of Life, fully comprehended? Wu Yuan suddenly realized.
Wu Yuan had previously integrated the Great Dao of Creation and matter profundities to form the Primordial Rules. His comprehension had reached great depths, and he had long been confident in fully comprehending the Law of Life.
But during the more than 15,000 years of fusing with the Ancestral Pagoda's Archaea imprint, he simply couldn't spare any attention to think about other matters.
Now, while fusing with the Great Dao's Authority, he finally had time to comprehend the profundities of the Dao.
The Law of Life? Originally just a hair's breadth from breakthrough, it came naturally.
I’m also making constant breakthroughs in the Great Dao of Creation. Wu Yuan felt countless insights flooding into his mind. All sorts of perplexities regarding the Great Dao of Creation were resolved effortlessly.
According to what the two eternal beings said, it should be extremely difficult for me to fuse with a strand of the Great Dao's Authority. Wu Yuan revealed a slight smile. Yet I’m finding it so easy.
Wu Yuan understood the reason – the Ancestral Pagoda!
As an Ancestral Pagoda Archon, with the Ancestral Pagoda's Archaea imprint within him, Wu Yuan had undergone an astonishing transformation whether in terms of Yuan Soul or spirit and will.
The Great Dao's Authority? Each eternal Great Dao was only a part of the Primordial Rules, and even the operation of the supreme Primordial Rules was influenced by the Ancestral Pagoda. The three supreme divine objects could all influence the Primordial Rules.
As an Ancestral Pagoda Archon and a sempiternal lifeform naturally favored by the Great Dao, merely merging with a strand of the Authority's power was quite effortless, though Wu Yuan still wouldn't be able to bear the complete Great Dao's Authority.
Sixth-level Creation Dao Field stage. Wu Yuan was quite shocked.
He hadn't expected that his comprehension of the Great Dao of Creation would skyrocket so much.
Previously, Wu Yuan's comprehension of the Great Dao of Creation had barely reached the fifth-level Dao Field stage. Since the end of the Megaverse Crossroads, the advantage of Wu Yuan's body refiner self over his qi refiner self was never in Dao comprehension. Rather, it was in cultivating two eternal paths simultaneously.
I haven't reached my limit yet. Wu Yuan's body refiner self consciously began to contemplate the Great Dao of Creation, with vast insights transforming into real profundity principles.
This cultivation speed was absolutely astonishing. Enough to make the jaws of countless Overlords and Sovereigns, and even many eternal beings, drop in disbelief.
However, if the Dao Masters, Eldritch Progenitor Hou Tu, and the Heavenly Imperator who stood at the peak of eternity were to see this, they would be relatively calm.
In the ancient Primordial Era, among the earliest eternal beings, all those who mastered a Great Dao and became Dao Masters would complete their transformation in an extremely short time, standing at the pinnacle of eternal life.
As for Wu Yuan? Once he branded his imprint upon the Great Dao's Authority, how could his progress in the Great Dao of Creation be slow?
A Dao Master is destined to stand at the very pinnacle. Wu Yuan also felt quite emotional.
This was the might of the Great Dao's Authority, making countless eternal lifeforms envious and jealous, yet helpless.
Theoretically, one could rely on oneself to take the fourth step of eternity and reach the Dao Master level. But how difficult was it? Since the Primordial Era until now, many eternal lifeforms had emerged, but how many could achieve it?
And so, Wu Yuan silently endured, feeling the pressure and impact. Even though he was an Archon, it still pushed his limits.
At the same time, Wu Yuan's body refiner self felt himself growing closer to the essence of the Great Dao of Creation. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Hm? I’ve also fully comprehended the Law of Death? Wu Yuan was quite surprised. It was too astonishing.
Before possessing the Great Dao Body, Wu Yuan had a Life Dao Body, and although he had quite an exceptional aptitude for the Law of Death, it was far inferior to the Law of Life. Yet now, in the relatively short time since fusing with the Great Dao's Authority, he had already achieved complete comprehension of the Law of Death.
At this point, Wu Yuan had thoroughly comprehended the two Greater Laws of Life and Death.
Moreover, other Greater Laws such as the Law of Space, Law of Lightning, Law of Fire, Law of Wood, and all those pertaining to the Great Dao of Creation, had revealed themselves in Wu Yuan's understanding. Of course, his grasp of these Greater Laws was still quite superficial.
The legends were indeed correct. Eternal lifeforms can comprehend the majority of Greater Laws, some even fully comprehending all of them. Wu Yuan marveled inwardly. Though I have not yet achieved eternity, I already possess some characteristics of an eternal being.
All Greater Laws and eternal Daos originated from the Primordial Rules. Starting from the Primordial Rules, one could naturally comprehend a vast number of Greater Laws, to the point of grasping them all.
It seemed as though an eternity had passed, yet it also felt like just an instant.
Boom! Wu Yuan finally felt the pressure from the Great Dao dissipate, while a faint, almost imperceptible connection formed between himself and the Great Dao.
In the great beyond, the supreme and infinitely majestic essence of the Great Dao of Creation seemed to develop an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him. It felt almost like a blood connection.
The previously frenzied influx of Dao comprehension insights rapidly diminished at this moment.
Wu Yuan stood motionless in the void for a long time.
Ancestral Pagoda Archon, initial fusion with the Great Dao's Authority. Wu Yuan murmured to himself as he gazed at the surrounding void, still shrouded in darkness.
It was as if nothing had happened. But Wu Yuan understood that he had taken the first step towards becoming the Creation Dao Master!
The second step would be to thoroughly comprehend the Great Dao of Creation and achieve eternity.
Seventh-level Creation Dao Field stage? Wu Yuan marveled inwardly.
The process of fusing with the Great Dao's Authority always involved a period of rapid advancement. Coincidentally, it allowed him to break through a major bottleneck and reach the late-stage Sovereign level.
And from here on out, Wu Yuan's natural affinity with the essence of the Great Dao of Creation meant that his rate of comprehension would be ten to a hundred times faster than with a Great Dao Body alone.
A Great Dao Body was extraordinarily rare, coveted by countless Sovereigns but beyond their reach. However, it was incomparable to becoming a Dao Master. Such a status was enough to drive many eternal lifeforms to madness. They were willing to risk everything for it, even their lives.
Unfortunately, it was no longer the Primordial Era. With the Primordium's evolution and the Great Dao essences reaching their perfected state, bearing a Great Dao's Authority now was extremely difficult. Eternal lifeforms had almost no hope, while sempiternal life had slightly better chances.
It’s done. I can finally leave. Wu Yuan's body refiner self smiled, preparing to depart.
His body vibrated slightly, his Yuan Soul stirring.
Hum~ After gaining control of a thread of the Great Dao's Authority, even the depths of the Creation Dao Realm's forbidden area could no longer obstruct the connection between Wu Yuan's two true selves.
In an instant, the surging memories of his qi refiner self flooded into Wu Yuan's body refiner self's mind.
In the distant Ling Jiang Universe, within the Greenridge Macrocosm, in the Ming Jian Realm.
I've reached the limit of the sixth-level Spacetime Dao Field stage, just one step away from the seventh level. How should I break through this final step? Wu Yuan's qi refiner self pondered, sitting in lotus position on a jade platform.
Suddenly, Wu Yuan's qi refiner self froze. An endless torrent of thoughts and insights surged into his mind as the memories of the two true selves immediately began to merge and collide.
Over these fifteen thousand years, each true self had taken over the complete imprint of the Samsara Sword and the Ancestral Pagoda respectively.
Subsequently, Wu Yuan's qi refiner self had cut a bloody path, unifying the macrocosm and achieving the title of Overlord by treading upon the corpses of numerous Immortal Court powerhouses, his name striking fear throughout the universe.
Meanwhile, his body refiner self had undergone an unprecedented transformation in the Creation Dao Realm, truly inheriting the Creation Dao Master’s mantle and legacy, laying the foundation to challenge eternity.
The experiences of both true selves were equally spectacular. Each had their own goals and cultivation plans.
Now, as their consciousnesses merged and memories fused, naturally, an even more astonishing transformation occurred.
