I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 903 Hongjun Daozu, who spun his own cocoon

"High above the nine heavens, I sit on my prayer mat and attain the true Dao. Beyond the mysteries of heaven and earth, I shall be the supreme master. Pangu gave birth to Taiji, from which the two polarities and four symbols follow. One Dao is passed on to three friends, and the two teachings, Chan and Jie, are separated. The Xuanmen leads the way, and the primordial energy transforms into Hongjun."

Jiang Ming stood silently outside the primordial wilderness, observing everything that was happening now.

Why this lament? We've come to this again. But the primordial world today is far more powerful than the one when Hongjun merged with the Dao. Can he withstand the assimilation of the Heavenly Dao?
As for what will happen next, Jiang Ming couldn't understand it either.

As for the eleven Ancestral Witches, out of consideration for the day after tomorrow, Jiang Ming severely injured them but did not kill them, letting them slumber in the chaos. After sleeping for several hundred huiyuan, they should be more obedient when they wake up.

After experiencing this battle, Jiang Ming thought about many things.

For example, his most mysterious system, it seems, was once the result of a great battle with Hongjun Daozu, during which he shattered a Creation Jade Disc, which then merged into the Twelfth Grade Black Lotus within him.

Then, he began his reincarnations through countless worlds, experiencing life after life. This led to many, many regrets for him.

Upon returning this time, he revisited the world where those regrets had once occurred, and began to make amends for those past regrets time and time again.

This time when he returned, he had stolen the entire Jade Disc of Creation.

Moreover, his original 12th-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus has now become a 32nd-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus.

After Jiang Ming integrated the Creation Jade Disc into it.

Then the Thirty-Six Grade Creation and Annihilation Lotus appeared.

This lotus flower is divided into two parts, resembling a night sky and a day, as if divided by yin and yang.

The Great Dao of Creation.

Jiang Ming understood; his next step was to delve into the Great Dao of Creation.

This Great Dao of Creation can help him break through to the Pangu Realm.

Because Pangu was born from the thirty-six-petaled Primordial Creation Lotus.

However, before that, Jiang Ming still needs to fulfill one last regret, or rather, obsession.

That is to say, in one lifetime, Jiang Ming was in a prehistoric world of Journey to the West. In that world, he was affected by a great calamity and was reincarnated as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong.

That is the origin of Sun Wukong, the origin of all Sun Wukong stories in the world. It can also be said to be the plot of the 1986 version of Journey to the West when the story travels to Earth.

In that world, Jiang Ming became a naturally born and raised monkey, filled with too many regrets. After becoming Sun Wukong's apprentice, he was separated from his master, Bodhi Patriarch, forever. On his journey to the West, he encountered difficulties but could not seek help, and his tearful search for his master yielded no results.

In the end, they were advised to seek help in the South China Sea.

Jiang Ming recalled the plot, but even now, he couldn't clearly determine who Bodhi Patriarch was.
Subhuti had countless disciples, with twelve generations: Guang, Da, Zhi, Hui, Zhen, Ru, Xing, Hai, Ying, Wu, Yuan, and Jue, spanning ten generations. When Sun Wukong arrived, Subhuti still had thirty or forty disciples.

His teacher, Subhuti, was a man of low profile who intentionally concealed his identity.

When Subhuti witnessed Sun Wukong showing off his skills, he said, "Others will see that you possess these abilities and will surely seek them out. If you fear trouble, you must pass them on; if you do not, they will surely harm you; and your life will be in danger." In other words, he foresaw that Wukong would cause trouble because of these abilities. Eventually, someone would discover who Wukong's powerful magic came from, thus implicating him.

Therefore, after warning Sun Wukong not to reveal his existence, he expelled him from the sect.

He foresaw the future and knew what would happen, but he still couldn't resist his love for talent and accepted Sun Wukong as his disciple.

Having experienced so much, Jiang Ming now speculates that his teacher might be a chaotic demon god left behind from the time when Pangu created the world. Therefore, he developed a low-key and prudent personality, adept at self-preservation. Because Jiang Ming no longer has a good method of speculation to determine his teacher's identity.

Since that's the case, Jiang Ming will go and make the trip again himself; it won't take many years in total. For him now, even a short nap could take up an entire cycle.

So, it's time to make up for this last regret.

When he reaches perfection, that will be the time for him to break through to the Pangu Realm.

Therefore, Jiang Ming chose to leave. As for Dao Ancestor Hongjun, he was no longer in control of his own destiny, and there was nothing more for him to do. From now on, he would be merged with the Heavenly Dao and unable to do anything detrimental to the Primordial World. On the contrary, he would have to mend and protect the Primordial World.

Jiang Ming, however, felt that the current outcome was quite good.

The primordial world does indeed need a guardian. As his consciousness is gradually devoured by the Heavenly Dao, he will become a puppet of the Heavenly Dao, and all his actions will depend on the needs of the Heavenly Dao's operation.

How miserable!

However, Jiang Ming had already given him a chance, but he refused to listen and instead incited a group of powerful individuals to attack Jiang Ming and kill him. Now, he has finally gotten his wish.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

at the same time.

In the most primordial and untamed world, a naturally born stone monkey sprang forth from a rock. On this day, the heavens and earth shone brightly, the three realms trembled, and the world shook.

The moment Jiang Ming appeared in this world, he immediately realized that his near-Pangu Realm cultivation was no longer useful. Therefore, he would have to undergo another round of cultivation.

However, this time he had already decided what the Primordial Dao Fruit he would cultivate would be: the Primordial Creation Dao.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, a half-black, half-white, thirty-sixth grade Dao lotus slowly rotated. Jiang Ming originally didn't need to go to the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain; he could have cultivated using his own methods.

However, without a doubt, his biggest regret and biggest question was Subhuti's identity. Therefore, he still had to make a trip to the Cave of the Slanting Moon and the Mountain of the Spirit Platform.

Moreover, going there could also speed up his cultivation progress.

Jiang Ming wanted to see what the original him was like. He was a Great Luo Golden Immortal who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, encountered the Buddha, was tricked by him, played the fool, and was suppressed by the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years.

In this life, he directly cultivated to the Quasi-Saint realm, and he wanted to see who would suppress whom for five hundred years.

In this world today, after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, all the gods and immortals have become much more low-key. Even the sages have been imprisoned by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who has ordered them to cultivate in seclusion in the Zixiao Palace in the Heavenly Palace, forbidding them from interfering with the operation of the primordial world.

The direct result is that, in the world today, Quasi-Saints are the most powerful, capable of controlling most things.

Quasi-Saint level experts will not easily take action unless absolutely necessary.

Jiang Ming had Sun Wukong use his instincts to fool the surrounding onlookers. He wanted to see if this so-called great calamity could erupt without him.

In the Journey to the West storyline, the most unfortunate group should be the demon race.

This was a devastating blow to the demon race, wiping out their last remaining powerful members. From then on, the demon race never had the chance to rise to prominence again.

One more thing: the Western Church finally got its wish and entered the Central Plains region of the human race, beginning a glorious era.
