Emperor Wu Shihuang's handwriting, do not go out of the Milky Way border

"Just as you said, I have taken this step and achieved a partial transcendence."

Upon hearing Ying Zheng's words, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou were extremely shocked.

Only tens of millions of years have passed, and Ying Zheng has already taken this step. On the contrary, they started much earlier than Ying Zheng, but they are still stuck in the same situation.

"How did you do that? Can you tell me what you know?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was very curious about how Ying Zheng had done it, and wanted Ying Zheng to tell him so that he could also improve his strength.

However, Ying Zheng shook his head at Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

“These kinds of things can’t be understood just because I tell you; you have to rely on your own understanding. If you haven’t experienced it yourself, telling you won’t help.”

It wasn't that Ying Zheng was unwilling to tell Dao Ancestor Hongjun about the method of transcendence; Ying Zheng simply felt that his strength had reached that point, and he was about to break through.

However, Dao Ancestor Hongjun did not have that kind of enlightenment at the moment. Such things still require one's own enlightenment to understand the principles involved.

"It seems that becoming a half-step transcendent is too far away for us. We don't have the ability to improve our strength."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun knew that Ying Zheng didn't mean he didn't want to tell him; on the contrary, he wanted him to comprehend it himself.

However, Demon Ancestor Rahu stepped forward and addressed Ying Zheng.

"Ying Zheng, if you don't want to tell us, then forget it. You don't need to make up this excuse anymore."

The Demon Ancestor Rahu believed that Ying Zheng did not want to reveal the secret of becoming a transcendent being to them, and looked at Ying Zheng with disdain.

Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at the relentless Demon Ancestor Luo Hou and said to him.

"It's not that Ying Zheng didn't want to tell us, it's just that he couldn't share his insights with us. We have to rely on ourselves for these things."

Ying Zheng was shocked to see the Dao Ancestor Hongjun being so reasonable.

Ying Zheng had thought that Dao Ancestor Hongjun was just casually dealing with him, but he didn't expect that Dao Ancestor Hongjun understood his difficulties.

Upon hearing Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words, Demon Ancestor Luo Hou thought for a moment and then spoke to Ying Zheng.

"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous. Please don't worry about it. It was my mistake."

After saying this, Demon Ancestor Rahu bowed to Ying Zheng to express his apology.

Ying Zheng shook his head at the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

“I know you’ve been stuck at this point for a long time, but these are things you can only understand through your own experience. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you.”

Demon Ancestor Rahu nodded to Ying Zheng.

"As long as you're not angry with us, that's all that matters. We did a lot of wrong things when we were being controlled, and we hope you can forgive us."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou truly knew how foolish their previous actions had been.

Although it wasn't their intention, they were still participants in it.

Ying Zheng waved his hand at the Demon Ancestor Rahu.

"Now that this matter is in the past, let's not bring it up again."

Ying Zheng also knew that this was not the result that Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou wanted at all; they were merely being used by Pangu.

However, the final outcome was positive, and Pangu ultimately abandoned his plan to release the primordial world.

"If you want to understand what transcendence is, you can ask Pangu first; he knows more about it than I do."

Ying Zheng's understanding of his own realm was not very deep at this moment, but Pangu knew all of this.

The first time someone does something, they are definitely less experienced than the second time.

At this moment, Pangu also arrived beside Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou.

"Now I no longer want to concern myself with the affairs of that primordial world. If you two wish to understand the path of transcendence, you may come and find me."

Pangu finally understood the truth Ying Zheng had taught him: helping others is also a way of improving oneself. A selfish person will not go far in the end. On the other hand, a broad-minded person can gain the support and help of others, thereby increasing their own strength.

Are you really willing to tell us the secret of transcendence?

Dao Ancestor Hongjun stared at Pangu in astonishment and asked this question. In Hongjun's view, Pangu would not normally help her. Moreover, this concerned transcendence, and she believed that Pangu would not share his insights.

Pangu nodded to Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

"Now that things have come to this, I've come to terms with it. I can share my insights on becoming a transcendent being with you, but I certainly can't directly help you improve your strength."

After all, Pangu himself was only an enlightened being, not yet having reached the half-step transcendence realm. Hearing Pangu's words, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou were both very pleased. They had absolutely no clue about transcendence; if they had someone with experience to guide them, their cultivation path would be much smoother.

"Then we'll thank you in advance! When do you plan to tell us this secret?"

Demon Ancestor Rahu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun asked Pangu together. Pangu smiled and said, "Anytime is fine, even now is fine."

Seeing Pangu's transformation, Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction. At this moment, he believed that Pangu would no longer harbor any ill intentions towards the primordial world.

"After you have heard Pangu's story, you can come and ask me again."

At this moment, Ying Zheng spoke to Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. Seeing that he had a chance to reach transcendence, Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Then I'll thank you in advance."

Pangu nodded, then said to Ying Zheng, "What do you think we should do now? I'll listen to you."

Pangu understood that the existence of the primordial world still affected him. If he could control the primordial world, he might be able to further enhance his strength. Ying Zheng looked at the primordial world before him, pondered for a moment, and then said to Pangu, "We can try to see if we can control this primordial world; its existence threatens the cultivators of this world."

Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Pangu nodded in agreement. He trusted Ying Zheng completely, after all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Demon Ancestor Luohou, and he himself had all had other plans for the primordial world. Others might have had similar thoughts, but they simply didn't show them due to Ying Zheng's power.

"So tell me what we should do now? I just tried to find the Primordial Core, but I couldn't find it."

Even before Ying Zheng emerged from seclusion, Pangu had already begun searching for the primordial core. But until just now, he still hadn't found its whereabouts.

"Now that my strength has increased, my perception of the Primordial Core is clearer. Let me give it a try!"

Ying Zheng spoke to Pangu. Pangu nodded, and Ying Zheng then went to the side of the Primordial World. He channeled his own Dao power into the Primordial World, beginning to search for traces of the Primordial Core. However, halfway through the search, he did not find the Primordial Core, so he turned to Pangu and said, "You can also try to find the Primordial Core; I cannot find it directly in a short time."

After hearing Ying Zheng's words, Pangu nodded to him, and Dao Ancestor Hongjun also came to Ying Zheng's side.

"In that case, let the four of us search for the whereabouts of the Primordial Core together!"

"That's perfect. One person's strength is ultimately limited; if we unite, we will surely succeed." After saying this, Ying Zheng continued to pour his Dao power into the primordial world. Pangu, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, and the other two also began searching for the core of the primordial world. However, after searching for more than an hour, they still hadn't found any trace of the primordial core. Ying Zheng then stopped his search.

"Let's stop for a moment. I feel that the core of the primordial world is not within the primordial world."

Pangu also failed to find the core of the primordial world, as if the core of the primordial world had been separated from the primordial world and was no longer together.

"I feel the same way. So what do you suggest we do next?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun also stopped and asked Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and recover our strength first. After all, we've been fighting for so long, and everyone is injured."

Even after so much time, Ying Zheng hadn't been able to recover his peak strength. Pangu and the other two were no match for him; the recent battle had severely injured them. Pangu felt that Ying Zheng's words made some sense.

"Then let's do as you say. Let's restore our strength first, and then we can search for the core of the primordial world together."

Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou also nodded. Seeing that everyone had stopped investigating, Nuwa and the others came to Ying Zheng's side.

"Still haven't found the core of the primordial world?"

Donghuang Taiyi asked Ying Zheng. Ying Zheng shook his head at him.

"The four of us have been exploring for more than an hour, but we still haven't found the core of the primordial world."

Donghuang Taiyi sighed and said, "Then let's leave this primordial world alone for now, since no one will release it anyway."

Ying Zheng nodded.

"Let's all return to our respective Dao residences now, and talk again after we've recovered our strength."

Pangu agreed with Ying Zheng's suggestion.

"Then I'll do as you say."

After saying this, Pangu was about to leave when he was stopped by Donghuang Taiyi.

"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to leave now?"

Although Donghuang Taiyi knew that Pangu no longer intended to release the primordial world, it was still necessary to say a few words to Pangu.

"So what do you suggest I do now?"

Pangu understood that Donghuang Taiyi was definitely angry, and that if it weren't for him, they wouldn't have been involved in this battle.

"What will happen to the Twelve Ancestral Witches if you leave? Don't you plan to take them back with you?"

Upon hearing Donghuang Taiyi's words, Pangu immediately realized that he had brought the Twelve Ancestral Witches with him. He had initially thought Donghuang Taiyi intended to make things difficult for him, but it turned out he was being reminded of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Just then, Yangmei Patriarch brought the Twelve Ancestral Witches forward. Upon seeing Pangu, the Twelve Ancestral Witches hurriedly knelt down.

"It's all our fault for not being strong enough and failing to live up to Father God's trust. Please punish us, Father God."

Pangu waved to the twelve ancestral witches and helped them up.

"There's no need for that. I've already given up on my plans for the primordial world. Now come back to the Witch Clan with me."

After listening to Pangu's words, the Twelve Ancestral Witches looked at Ying Zheng. They now knew that Ying Zheng's strength had surpassed Pangu's, and killing them would be a simple matter.

"As long as you behave yourselves, I will not lay a hand on you. I hope you will keep your promise."

Ying Zheng spoke to them. Hearing Ying Zheng's words, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were finally relieved.

"Did you hear what Ying Zheng said? You can come back with me now."

Pangu spoke to the Twelve Ancestral Witches. At this moment, Ancestor Yangmei also released his control over the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Pangu led the Twelve Ancestral Witches away from the primordial world, but Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou remained behind.

"What's wrong with you two? How did you get controlled by Pangu?"

Yang Mei, the Old Ancestor, asked Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou. Upon hearing Yang Mei's words, Dao Ancestor Hongjun smiled and said, "I didn't know at the time either. I was suddenly controlled, and I don't know what happened after that."

Demon Ancestor Rahu nodded to Ancestor Yangmei. Ancestor Yangmei was somewhat puzzled by Dao Ancestor Hongjun's words.

"With your combined strength, you shouldn't have been controlled so easily, right?"

At this moment, Ying Zheng stepped forward and said to Yang Mei, "They were marked by Pangu before, which is why they were controlled by Pangu."

Ancestor Yangmei nodded.

"I never expected Pangu to use such methods; it really surprised me."

In Yangmei Patriarch's view, Pangu would not have bothered with such petty tricks, but the facts were right in front of him, which surprised him greatly.

"Alright, let's go back and recover our strength. Staying here isn't a solution."

Ying Zheng addressed the crowd. Upon hearing his words, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou nodded in agreement.

"Then we'll head back first. Just call us if you need anything."

After saying this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou left the prehistoric world.

Aren't you leaving yet?

Ying Zheng looked at Yang Mei, the ancestor who was still standing beside him, and said.

"I also want to learn about transcendence, but my current strength can no longer be improved."

Since acquiring ninety percent of the power over the River of Destiny, Ancestor Yangmei had felt somewhat powerless. Only then did he remember that he had originally intended to consult Ying Zheng about the River of Destiny.

"By the way, I wanted to ask you, I now have ninety percent of the power over the River of Destiny, but the last ten percent seems very difficult."

Ying Zheng thought that Ancestor Yang Mei had completely controlled the River of Destiny, but he didn't expect that he had only obtained 90% of the power.

"What specific difficulties have you encountered? Otherwise, I can't tell you what to do."

Ying Zheng said to Ancestor Yang Mei. Ancestor Yang Mei thought for a moment and replied, "It's just that I feel that when I want to continue to control it, it resists me, and it becomes more and more difficult as time goes on."

Ying Zheng said to him, "I've encountered this situation before. At this time, you need to calm down and thoroughly understand the 90% of power you already possess. This matter cannot be rushed; if you rush, you will definitely make mistakes."

Ancestor Yangmei nodded to Ying Zheng.

“You’re right. I’ve been trying to control it as quickly as possible, but it’s becoming increasingly difficult.”

Ying Zheng added, "When you do something calmly, you'll find it's not as difficult as you imagined." (End of Chapter)
