Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Compared to the deal between the two, allowing the Wu Clan to remain beneath the Lesser Primordial World was a minor matter.

Ao Bing could have chosen not to make any requests, but the location of the Witch Clan was indeed too crucial. It would be inappropriate if it had nothing to do with him.

So, he casually made a request: that the Wu tribe cultivate the method of transforming into dragons. In this way, to outsiders, the Wu tribe would appear to be his successors, and their presence beneath the Lesser Primordial Wilderness would not seem out of place at all.

"That works too."

Houtu nodded; she did not impose any specific requirements on the Wu tribe regarding which methods they should practice. In fact, when the path of immortality first emerged, the Wu tribe was among the first to experiment with it.

Unfortunately, the Wu tribe is born without a primordial spirit, which is incompatible with the attributes of immortality, making cultivation impossible.

On the other hand, the demonic path is most compatible with the witch clan, and it can even be said to be tailor-made for the witch clan. After the witch clan cultivates it, it is as if they are blessed by the heavens, and their speed is so fast that they can travel thousands of miles a day.

Unfortunately, because of his deep entanglement with the Chaos Demon God, even though it was useful to the Witch Clan, the Ancestral Witches looked down on it and were unwilling to learn it.

Looking back now, the Witch Clan's decision was truly brilliant. Who could have imagined that the demonic path would be such a huge pitfall? Fortunately, the Witch Clan didn't cultivate the demonic path, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The Chaos God's resurrection through the body of the Witch Clan is a great irony for both sides.

The demonic path cannot be cultivated, nor can the immortal path be achieved. It can be said that the Wu clan is in a rather awkward situation, currently lacking a suitable cultivation system and relying entirely on enhancing their bloodline to become stronger.

This is why the Witch Clan's development lagged behind that of the Demon Clan. Their imperfect cultivation system significantly hampered their progress.

The Ancestral Witches did want to change this, but the results weren't very good. They could only rely on the legacy of Pangu to develop a top-tier body-refining method.

This body-refining method is powerful, but it's difficult to get started, and even more difficult to master. Even among the Witch Clan, there are very few who can achieve it.

Ultimately, no matter how good a cultivation technique is, it's not as good as a complete cultivation system. This is because a cultivation technique is only a part of a complete cultivation system, and the more complete the system, the more techniques it contains.

The rise of a power cannot be achieved with just one cultivation technique; it requires a complete cultivation system. Only in this way can future generations continuously innovate and grow stronger.

This is precisely what the Wu Clan lacks. And the emergence of the Human-Dragon Technique undoubtedly fills this gap.

The human-dragon is not a race, but a great path, a cultivation system, a cultivation system that enables people to continuously transform their life level.

And this is exactly what the Wu tribe needs.

The combination of the Witch Clan and the Path of the Dragon is a powerful alliance. This is because the Witch Clan's evolutionary path is arguably the clearest in the primordial world: ordinary Witch Clan, innate Witch Clan, innate Great Witch, Ancestral Witch, and Pangu.

Each bloodline transformation of the Wu tribe represents a leap in the level of life.

Therefore, the Way of the Human Dragon is undoubtedly the most suitable for the Witch Clan, enabling ordinary Witch Clan members to continuously transform their bloodlines and gradually upgrade to Innate Witch Clan, Innate Great Witch, and even Ancestral Witch.

"Human dragon" is a general term, a respectful title for beings that have evolved to their limit, and does not refer to a specific race.

For humans, the human-dragon is the dragon among men. For dragons, the human-dragon is the ancestral dragon. For witches, the human-dragon is the ancestral witch. For primordial beings, the human-dragon is the primordial deity.

Therefore, do not think that once the Wu tribe practices the method of transforming into dragons, they are no longer the Wu tribe.

On the contrary, even if they cultivate the method of transforming into dragons, they are still members of the witch clan, and this will not change in any way.

The difference is that, in addition to the Witch Clan, they also have the identity of disciples of the Dragon Path.

This is a normal situation. Just as humans can join the Xuanmen and the Heavenly Court, the Wu clan can also join the Human Dragon Path. This does not affect their original identity.

Therefore, Houtu Niangniang would naturally not refuse Ao Bing's suggestion. In fact, she was prepared to do so even if Ao Bing hadn't brought it up.

There's no way around it; the Path of the Dragon is just what the Witch Clan needs. The Witch Clan has missed too many opportunities to become stronger; they absolutely cannot miss this one.

…………

After discussing the matter with the Goddess Houtu, Ao Bing immediately took action.

He first ordered all twelve tribes of the Wu clan who lived in the Pangu Temple to move out, and then he carried the Pangu Temple directly to the core of the Hongmeng Supreme Heaven, which is the Ziwei Star.

Here, at some unknown time, a tall altar has been erected, ancient, sacred, solemn, and imbued with boundless divine power.

This is an altar for worshipping the great god Pangu, prepared by the Heavenly Way.

Ao Bing's idea of ​​integrating the Pangu Temple into the Primordial Heaven was indeed good, but achieving this was beyond his capabilities.

Or to put it more directly, the entire primordial world, including the Heavenly Dao, had no ability to destroy the Pangu Temple.

This can be said to be the most durable treasure in the primordial world. It was formed from the skull of Pangu, and even the combined efforts of three thousand Chaos Demons could not damage it in the slightest.

Ao Bing thinks he can destroy it? Dream on. Not only can he not, but even the Heavenly Dao cannot. In this vast primordial world, only one person could destroy the Pangu Temple: the Great God Pangu.

Only Pangu himself could dissolve Pangu's skull.

This is why Ao Bing prepared to offer sacrifices to the great god Pangu, to express his thoughts to him, and in turn, to have him perform a miracle, using his supreme power to destroy the Pangu Temple and merge it with the primordial chaos.

Ao Bing wasn't worried about Pangu refusing, because the matter was also in his favor. Or rather, he would benefit the most.

After the Pangu Temple merges with the Primordial Supreme Heaven, it will inevitably evolve further, bringing it closer to the realm of eternity. And the Primordial Supreme Heaven, in a sense, is a projection of the Great God Pangu's Dao Fruit.

Therefore, the stronger the Primordial Chaos Supreme Heaven becomes, the greater the benefits Pangu will receive. Since it concerns whether or not he will attain enlightenment, he desperately wants the Primordial Chaos Supreme Heaven to be as strong as possible; how could he possibly refuse Ao Bing's suggestion?

In other words, this sacrificial ceremony was merely a formality, a report to the great god Pangu, and there would be no unexpected events.

The Pangu Temple was placed on the altar. Ao Bing and Houtu stepped forward, using the Buzhou Cauldron as an incense burner, to burn incense and present their plan to the Great God Pangu.

After a long silence, an unimaginable power descended from the heavens.

Immediately, the solid and indestructible Pangu Temple began to decompose little by little, transforming into strands of pure and eternal Daoist essence, which merged into the primordial and supreme heaven.

This eternal Dao rhythm is a manifestation of the Dao fruit of the Great God Pangu in his previous life. Before his fall, he was already a being at the half-step Eternal Realm. Now, he is undoubtedly even more powerful.

After destruction and rebirth, one will surely become stronger. The great god Pangu's creation of the world and his subsequent death represent destruction. The primordial world's advancement, its transformation into an eternal universe, represents rebirth. Based on the reactions of the primordial world, it can be inferred that the great god Pangu is currently in the "rebirth" stage of destruction and rebirth.

That's why it's said that the Great God Pangu is even stronger now. Once he finishes "establishing" himself, he will be able to officially step into the realm of the Eternal Great Dao.

Because the Great God Pangu has become stronger, the Daoist principles of destruction and reconstruction are no longer useful to him. It is better to use them to strengthen the primordial world and accelerate its evolution.

Not long after, the Pangu Temple completely disintegrated. And the Great Dao mark imprinted on Pangu's skull, hidden deep within the Pangu Temple, which was the half-step Eternal Dao mark formed from his life's cultivation, was also fully revealed.

This is the embodiment of Pangu's lifelong cultivation, the carrier of the Dao, the source of the Heavenly Dao, and the One, which is also the Whole.

"Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols?"

Ao Bing was somewhat surprised. There were many speculations about the path held by the Great God Pangu, some about destruction and some about creation, but only one was universally recognized as the Great Path of Power.

Most people in the primordial world firmly believed that the way of the great god Pangu was the way of power, and that he was the source of all power, which is why he was so powerful.

But now, as the Great Dao Imprint of the Great God Pangu manifests, it is clearly telling Ao Bing that the Dao held by the Great God Pangu is not the Dao of Power, but the Dao of Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols.

"Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols?"

Although somewhat surprised, Ao Bing felt it was perfectly reasonable. This was because Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols were the foundation of the primordial world, upon which all cultivation systems and even civilizations were built.

This already explains the problem. If Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols were not the way held by the great god Pangu, why would they be so important and the foundation of heaven and earth?

The world created by the great god Pangu was naturally based on the Dao he upheld. Therefore, the fact that Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols are the Dao upheld by the great god Pangu, although surprising, was actually clearly indicated long ago, but people subconsciously overlooked it.

As for why this is so, it is naturally because the Great Dao of Power is also the Dao upheld by the Great God Pangu.

As has been said, when the great god Pangu created the primordial world, he did so by destroying and then establishing. The so-called destruction and then establishment means destroying the existing Dao and then building a new and stronger Dao on that basis.

The great god Pangu destroyed the Dao of Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols. What he sought to establish was the Dao of Power. With power as the source, he would shatter all three thousand Daos.

"Yin and Yang give rise to all things, which are wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. The Four Symbols are born, and the Five Elements are formed; the Four Symbols turn, and time and space emerge, which are metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and time and space."

"These are the eleven most fundamental forces in the universe. Following them can create the world. Going against them can destroy all things. And the power generated when destroying all things is poison, which has the intention of harming all things."

"So this is the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation."

Ao Bing understood, comprehending the core mysteries of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation. Through the operation of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, eleven forces—wind, rain, thunder, lightning, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, and time—evolve.

When these eleven powers are put together, they generate a powerful destructive force, which is the twelfth power, called poison, that is, the power to harm heaven and earth.

When these twelve forces stabilize, it becomes the first form of the Dutian Divine Fiend Array, which has the ability to gather all harmful forces in the world.

When these twelve forces collide and are driven to utter destruction, the second form of the Dutian Divine Array will be revealed, manifesting the physical body of Pangu.

All things perished, the four elements fell silent under the dark sky, and heaven and earth returned to chaos. Pangu was the embodiment of chaos, the son of the Great Dao, and the primordial one.

Conversely, if these twelve forces do not perish but instead merge and promote each other, another change will occur, giving rise to endless creations, in which the mysteries of heaven and earth are contained.

That is the Zhou Tian Star Array, which encompasses and contains everything.

The heavens are one, the universe is the whole.

One is the source, and the other is the end; these are two different extremes. But similarly, the whole is the one, and the one is the whole, because their core principles are the same: Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols.

When Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols are in harmony, they can evolve into all things in heaven and earth, thus forming the complete celestial array.

If Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols are reversed, they can destroy the heavens and the earth and recreate chaos. This is the first one, the Great Array of Heavenly Gods and Demons.

The myriad paths of the primordial world, to put it simply, are all variations of Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols; they are all fundamentally the same.

This includes the Great Dao of Power of the Great God Pangu. Through the changes of Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols, he comprehended the principle that the whole is one and one is the whole.

They believe that although the three thousand Great Daos have different attributes, they all originate from the same source: the explanation and application of force.

Pangu, the great god, thus comprehended the true meaning of power, and elevated the way of Yin and Yang and the Four Symbols into the Great Way of Power. From then on, he mastered the One Way and all the Ways, becoming the most powerful being in the entire Chaos, and no Chaos Demon God could rival him.

"All paths originate from the same source. To achieve eternity, one must grasp this source and unite all paths into one."

In that instant, countless inspirations surged in Ao Bing's mind. First, he grasped the relationship between the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation and the Zhou Tian Star Formation, transforming the two from separate entities into a unified whole.

From then on, he could set up the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array and the Du Tian Shen Sha Grand Array with a single thought, and even switch between the two arrays.

No, it's even more outrageous than that. He can use these two major formations as the core and evolve all the formations in the world at will.

Ao Bing has completely mastered the Primordial Array Dao. All arrays will no longer hold any secrets for him, and he can create them with a single thought.

And this is just the beginning. After realizing that one is the whole, and the whole is one, the bottleneck that had troubled Ao Bing for so long began to show signs of loosening.

By uniting all paths into one, the Great God Pangu pointed out the way forward for Ao Bing. The path he was to take next was to merge his three thousand Dao incarnations into one and achieve the supreme Dao true body.

The great god Pangu expounded the three thousand great Daos through the Dao of Power, which is to seek completeness through oneness. Ao Bing, on the other hand, combined the three thousand great Daos into one, which is to seek oneness through completeness.

Why bother studying any formations? Just integrate the power of the three thousand Great Daos, fuse them into one, and you can unleash their full potential.
While Ao Bing was comprehending the Dao, Houtu Niangniang was also immersed in it.

In one of her eyes, countless stars swirled, vaguely forming the shape of the Zhou Tian Star Array. In her other eye, twelve primordial energies surged, vaguely forming the Du Tian Divine Array.

Houtu Niangniang's insights were not as profound as Ao Bing's, but her gains were equally significant.

She used the Heavenly Gods and Demons to refine her body and the stars of the heavens to refine her soul, thus completely resolving the defect of the Wu Clan that was born without a primordial spirit due to the influence of the Heavenly Fiend Qi and the Earthly Turbid Qi.

The Heavenly Gods and Demons refine evil, and the Heavenly Stars refine turbidity. In this way, not only can the hidden dangers of the Witch Clan be resolved, enabling the Witch Clan to cultivate both their divine body and spirit, but also two more innate killing and killing divine abilities can be gained.

Divine cultivation encompasses the celestial constellations, achieving wholeness; physical cultivation encompasses the divine spirits and demons, achieving unity. When the two merge, the Wu tribe will surely achieve innate perfection, becoming true descendants of Pangu, with pure blood and a naturally formed primordial spirit. (End of Chapter)
