Chapter 39 Merging with the Heavenly Dao
The Kunpeng transformed into a stream of light, and with the power of the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls and the God-Slaying Spear, it forcefully snatched the food from the Three Pure Ones, and then fled hundreds of millions of miles away.
Once he confirmed that the auras of the Three Pure Ones were no longer chasing after him, Kunpeng slowly stopped and revealed his Dao body.
He stood amidst the vast chaos, turning back to look in the direction of the Purple Cloud Palace, a meaningful, cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
"The Three Pure Ones, who consider themselves the true descendants of Pangu, are arrogant and domineering, yet they are unaware of the principle of 'the darkest place is under the lamp.'"
"Those powerful beings from the primordial era were so focused on vying for the innate spiritual treasures on the Treasure Sharing Rock that they fought tooth and nail, but they overlooked the most conspicuous and fundamental treasure."
The Kunpeng's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, a greed and shrewdness unique to predators.
"That Treasure Dividing Rock, capable of bearing over a thousand innate spiritual treasures without collapsing, and enduring the primordial chaos and the Daoist essence of sages year after year, is no ordinary stone."
"This is a true Primordial Chaos Stone! It is an unparalleled divine material for refining acquired treasures and even suppressing Daoist temples!"
"To buy the casket and return the pearl—how foolish!"
Upon realizing this, Kunpeng did not return directly to Beiming, but instead made a beautiful turn and launched a surprise attack!
He concealed his aura, using the Law of Wind to merge into the chaotic airflow, and silently made his way back towards the Purple Cloud Palace.
Before long, the huge, suspended rock came into view again.
At this time, the Treasure Dividing Rock no longer possessed the dazzling brilliance it once did.
The mountain of spiritual treasures on it had been completely looted by the three thousand mortals, leaving not a single hair behind.
The surroundings were empty, with only endless chaotic gales howling, as if telling the story of the madness of the treasure-hunting battle that had just taken place.
The cultivators, some overjoyed and others annoyed, had already taken the treasures they had snatched and rushed back to the Primordial World to refine them in seclusion. Who would even glance at this bare, broken rock?
"They've all left, just as expected."
The Kunpeng manifested its form and landed on the Treasure Dividing Rock.
The rocks beneath my feet were an ancient grayish-brown, cold to the touch, yet terrifyingly heavy.
Kunpeng tried stomping his foot, but even with his current physical strength at the early stage of Quasi-Saint, he couldn't leave even the slightest mark on the rock!
"My darling!"
"This treasure rock has been nurtured by the aura of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun for many years, and it has long been spiritually aware. Moreover, its hardness is probably no less than that of ordinary innate spiritual treasures."
"If I were to refine it into my Kunpeng Palace, my Daoist temple would truly be impregnable!"
Kunpeng no longer hesitated; plucking feathers from passing geese was his guiding principle.
"rise!"
He let out a low shout, revealing his magnificent Dharma form, and embraced the enormous Treasure Dividing Rock, which was as big as a star, with both hands.
"Boom!"
The Quasi-Saint unleashed his full power, shaking the chaos.
The Treasure Dividing Rock trembled violently, emitting a series of muffled rumbling sounds, and was finally forcibly pulled up from the chaotic void by Kunpeng!
"A hidden universe within the sleeve, concealed!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Kunpeng packed up and took away this chaotic stone that carried countless legends, leaving not a trace for future generations.
After doing all this, Kunpeng clapped his hands, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
This trip to Zixiao Palace was incredibly profitable.
Not only did they obtain the ultimate weapon, the God-Slaying Spear, and collect all thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, but they also stole the Universe Ruler and finally took away the Treasure Rock.
What does it mean to return with a full load? This is what it means to return with a full load!
Just as Kunpeng was satisfied and preparing to turn and leave.
Sudden.
The ancient and weathered Zixiao Palace in front of us trembled without warning.
"Buzz—"
—
An aura of supreme, indifferent, and ruthless Heavenly Dao emanated from the depths of the palace.
Kunpeng felt a chill run down his spine and instinctively stopped and looked back.
The gates of Zixiao Palace slowly closed, and the once clearly visible outline of the palace began to blur.
illusory.
Immediately afterwards, a grand voice, seemingly encompassing all things in the universe, past and future, resounded throughout the entire chaotic and primordial world: "My body merges with the Dao, completing the order of Heaven."
"From this day forward, Hongjun is the Heavenly Way, and the Heavenly Way is no longer Hongjun."
"Unless it is an immeasurable eon, Hongjun will not appear!"
boom-!!!
With this final decree issued, Zixiao Palace vanished completely into the endless chaos, leaving no trace whatsoever.
In that instant, Kunpeng clearly sensed that the Heavenly Dao Laws above his head, which were originally somewhat incomplete, were now completely restored!
An indescribable sense of oppression enveloped the hearts of every primordial creature.
The Way of Heaven has been perfected!
This also means that from now on, this primordial world will have real "rules".
Under the Heavenly Dao, those destined sages who obtained the Primordial Purple Qi will officially step onto the stage of history.
"Hongjun has merged with the Dao, and the era of sages is about to begin."
The Kunpeng stood in the void, its gaze deep and solemn.
He knew that this seemingly calm wilderness was about to be confronted with the most turbulent and terrifying waves.
The six future sages—Sanqing, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti—are like six sharp swords hanging overhead.
Especially the Three Pure Ones; the grudges formed today will surely be settled in the future.
"I don't have much time left."
"They must possess trump cards sufficient to protect themselves, and even to contend with saints, before they achieve sainthood!"
Kunpeng took a deep breath, a sense of urgency flashing in his eyes.
Without lingering, he flapped his wings and transformed into a streak of light, breaking through the chaos at top speed and heading towards the primordial northern sea.
Beiming, Kunpeng Palace.
The Five Elements Yin-Yang Reversal Array continues to operate, protecting this blessed land of immortals from wind and rain.
The Kunpeng returned without alerting anyone, immediately sealing the palace gates and activating the highest level of restrictions.
Inside the main hall, Kunpeng sat cross-legged, not in a hurry to comprehend the evolutionary principles of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Universe Ruler.
That's the slow and steady process of gradual, persistent effort.
The most urgent task is to make this stronghold impregnable!
"come out!"
With a wave of his sleeve, Kunpeng sent the massive Treasure Dividing Rock crashing to the ground, causing the entire Kunpeng Palace to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he formed a hand seal and exhaled fire.
"Southern Bright Fire! True Sun Fire! Red Lotus Karmic Fire! Netherworld Ghost Fire!"
Four distinct divine flames of heaven and earth emerged simultaneously, transforming into a colossal furnace that enveloped the Treasure Sharing Rock.
"Refine it for me!"
What Kunpeng needs to do is not to refine a magic weapon, but to completely melt this treasure-dividing rock and integrate its essence into every inch of the walls, every pillar, and every brick and tile of the entire Kunpeng Palace!
The Treasure Dividing Rock is a primordial chaotic stone, incredibly hard. Even with four flames raging together, melting it would be no easy task.
But Kunpeng has plenty of patience and magical power.
One year, ten years, a hundred years —
A full eighty-one years have passed.
The stubborn Treasure Dividing Rock finally began to soften, turning into a cloud of hazy, chaotic liquid, within which countless Dao runes could be faintly seen flashing.
"Now! Merge!"
With a thought, Kunpeng caused the chaotic liquid to explode, transforming into countless drops of rain that evenly seeped into the main body of Kunpeng Palace.
"Buzzing"
This palace, which was originally just a top-grade acquired merit treasure, now seemed to come alive, emitting a roar like the breathing of a giant beast.
A layer of ancient, chaotic color began to appear on the originally dark yellow palace walls.
Although the palace's volume did not increase, its weight and texture were increasing at an alarming rate!
Even more miraculously, the Treasure Dividing Rock was said to have once held a thousand treasures and been blessed by the gods.
After the fusion, countless small storage spaces and treasure-hiding restrictions spontaneously emerged within the Kunpeng Palace, possessing unique benefits for nurturing spiritual treasures.
Another forty-nine days passed.
When the last trace of chaotic liquid was completely absorbed.
"boom!"
A hazy, precious light shot into the sky, piercing through the clouds of the Northern Sea and even startling the stars in the heavens.
A brand-new Kunpeng Palace stands quietly on the Northern Ice Plains.
Its entire body presents a deep dark gold color, with chaotic energy and primordial merit flowing across its surface.
The pressure it exuded was even heavier than that of a typical top-grade innate spiritual treasure!
"The ultimate treasure acquired through divination!"
Kunpeng looked at the masterpiece before him, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Although it is still something acquired later in life, it has not yet entered the realm of innate essence."
"But in terms of sturdiness, this Kunpeng Palace is now comparable to Taiyi's Chaos Bell!"
"In terms of defensive capabilities, coupled with the merits I accumulated from establishing the religion, this palace is strong enough to withstand a single blow from a saint without breaking!"
"From now on, I will use this palace as my base and rely on the Northern Darkness Formation. Even if the Four Saints arrive together, they will have to break a few teeth to break through my dojo!"
