Rewriting the Gods

Looking at the Great Dao Diagram of Heaven and Earth in the void, Jiang Haofeng took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. There was only one last step left. If he failed to take this step, his method of proving the Dao would not be considered complete.

At present, the Great Dao Qiankun Diagram and the Great Dao Wheel he created have been completely integrated. With the suppression of the Great Dao Qiankun Diagram, the illusory Great Dao Wheel has also been stabilized and has become his Dao foundation together with the Great Dao Qiankun Diagram.

However, to achieve complete success, there is still one last step: merging the Dao foundation.

Although the foundation of the Dao is now complete, it is suspended in the outside world and has not yet been integrated into one's own body. Only by integrating the Great Dao Qiankun Diagram along with the Great Dao Wheel that is suppressed within it into one's own body and transforming it into one's own foundation of the Dao can it be considered a complete success.

With his thoughts settled, Jiang Haofeng no longer hesitated and raised his hand to cast a refining spell. Since the magic weapon was crafted by Jiang Haofeng himself, and the Great Dao Wheel within it was also woven by Jiang Haofeng himself, the process was much smoother than he had imagined.

There was no resistance whatsoever; in fact, even the magical artifacts were assisting in the refining process.

A slight smile appeared on Jiang Haofeng's face, but he quickly suppressed it. Following the spell deduced by his true self, he forced out a drop of essence blood. A drop of blood, shimmering with five-colored mystical light, slowly seeped from Jiang Haofeng's finger and floated in the void.

Sensing the essence blood, the Qiankun Dao Diagram in the void wanted to merge with it, but was stopped by Jiang Haofeng.

After forcing out his essence blood, Jiang Haofeng did not hesitate at all. His divine soul power surged, and the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos rose. The next moment, his divine soul transformed into a sword, and with one strike, a wisp of divine soul along with the Three Thousand Dao Rhymes contained within it was severed.

After repeatedly forcing out his essence blood and severing his divine soul, Jiang Haofeng's face turned somewhat pale, but he didn't care at all, carefully controlling the fusion of his divine soul power and essence blood.
Under Jiang Haofeng's control, the moment the two merged, the five-colored essence blood was replaced by nine colors, and streams of Great Dao power flowed into the essence blood. At the same time, the divine soul and essence blood merged together, transforming into a nine-colored treasure pearl, which emitted a dazzling light. The Three Thousand Great Daos were like ribbons circling around the pearl, making it look extremely beautiful.

There is only one last step left!
Jiang Haofeng took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He raised his hand and pointed, and a pure spiritual light rose from the top of his head.

The moment this spiritual light appeared, Jiang Haofeng's eyes instantly lost their luster, and his eyes lost all their liveliness. Although his physical body was still strong and his soul was still intact, a strange coldness appeared on Jiang Haofeng's body, making him look like a dead man.

The true spirit leaves the body!

All living beings in the primordial world possess a physical body and a soul. The physical body is the foundation, and the soul is the root. When the two are combined, they constitute a living being.

However, in reality, neither the physical body nor the soul is a person's true origin.

The physical body is merely the dwelling place of the soul, and the soul is merely the dwelling place of the true spirit. The true origin of living beings is neither the physical body nor the soul, but the true spirit within the soul.

Even if one's true spirit is extinguished, though one's soul may be scattered, one can still enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn.

If the spiritual light within the true spirit can be guaranteed to remain undying, then reincarnation is not unfounded.

Jiang Haofeng had just separated his true spirit from his divine soul. Compared to his divine soul, which had reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, Jiang Haofeng's true spirit was extremely weak.

After all, in terms of true spirit, there is no difference between quasi-saints and mortals; their strength is the same.

The only difference is the memories they carry.

Of course, these memories are also the most fundamental difference between living beings.

This scroll of the Great Dao Qiankun Diagram is the foundation for Jiang Haofeng's path to enlightenment. This spiritual treasure must be completely integrated with Jiang Haofeng.

In the present world, there is no precedent for a spiritual treasure to completely merge with its master and become a part of the master. This is something that ordinary spiritual treasures cannot do.

In the primordial world, neither innate nor acquired spiritual treasures could achieve this. Even those refined with one's lifeblood or nurtured alongside them could not achieve this.

Therefore, according to Jiang Haofeng's deduction, there is only one way to achieve this: the true spirit merges with the spiritual treasure, and the true spirit and the spiritual treasure become one.

To achieve this, Jiang Haofeng even nurtured a true spirit in this incarnation using the Great Dao of Creation before setting off.

However, because this avatar possesses all of Jiang Haofeng's memories, it becomes a special existence somewhere between an avatar and an independent being, somewhat similar to Bodhi Patriarch.

There was no other way. The fusion of the True Spirit with the Spirit Treasure was a great attempt that had never been done before or since. No one in the primordial world had ever tried it.

Moreover, since it concerns the true spirit, if anything goes wrong, death is almost inevitable.

At that time, his physical body and soul would become someone else's wedding dress, which was too risky, and Jiang Haofeng dared not try it himself.

Since I'm going to get involved in Journey to the West anyway, I might as well let the incarnation give it a try, which will also pave the way for myself.

However, there are risks involved in breaking through in the primordial world. In the primordial world, the Dao Ancestor's body merges with heaven and earth, and nothing in the primordial world can be hidden from him.

However, this method of attaining enlightenment is tailored to one's own circumstances, and even if the Dao Ancestor knew about it, he still wouldn't be able to gather all three thousand Great Daos.

Ordinary people can only fuse one thing at most, using their true spirit to fuse with weapons. If they only fuse one thing, they are not considered very strong.

Just like the method of severing the three corpses to attain enlightenment created by the Dao Ancestor, only the Dao Ancestor could truly attain enlightenment with this method. Others who practiced the Great Dao of Severing the Three Corpses could not attain enlightenment.

Ultimately, attaining enlightenment is a personal matter; the paths of others can only be used as a reference, not directly adopted.

There is absolutely no way to attain the Great Dao by borrowing the methods of others!
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and his true spirit merged with the nine-colored pearl before him. In an instant, a vibrant life force was born on the pearl. At this moment, the pearl became a living being, while Jiang Haofeng's physical body was merely an inanimate object.

The true spirit merged with the divine soul and blood essence, and without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Haofeng took the precious pearl and integrated it into the Qiankun Dao Diagram before him.

The moment the two came into contact, an indescribable feeling surged into my heart. This feeling was extremely profound, just like the moment when the heavens and earth interacted and gave birth to intelligence under the divine power of the goddess Nuwa. This was the starting point of life, the most profound creation in the world.

At this moment, Jiang Haofeng felt that his essence had been transformed, his level of life had been elevated, and everything around him was different.

Just then, a purple light flashed in the void, and the figure of Hongjun Ancestor appeared silently in front of Jiang Haofeng.

The Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array set up around Zhonghuang Mountain by the Life and Death Springs of the human race, the core array of the Nine Cauldrons Array inside, and the vast human race's fortune were all rendered useless before the Dao Ancestor.

They couldn't even slow them down for a second!
If he so desires, he can instantly pass through these layers of defenses and arrive at the core of the human race. This is the Great Dao Saint, the Great Dao Saint whose body is one with heaven and earth.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist! Congratulations on taking this final step! The Great Dao and its fruits are now within your grasp!"

After a pause, as if remembering something, Hongjun Ancestor cupped his hands again and said:
"I sensed your aura of enlightenment, fellow Daoist. In my haste, I failed to inform you and mistakenly entered your Daoist temple. I hope you will not blame me."

Jiang Haofeng shook his head and smiled, "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

As the only Great Dao Saint in the Primordial World, and having merged with the Heavenly Dao, there is probably nothing in the entire Primordial World that can be hidden from Hongjun Ancestor. For Hongjun Ancestor, whether he enters or not makes no difference; he can clearly know what is happening in Zhonghuang Mountain even without entering the great formation.

Compared to secretly spying, showing up directly seems more sincere. Besides, he even made a special request, which shows he's been very polite. Jiang Haofeng naturally wouldn't care about such trivial matters.

In any case, before breaking through, Jiang Haofeng had anticipated that this breakthrough would not be able to hide from the Dao Ancestor, and he did not intend to hide it from him.

The method of proving the Dao requires experimentation. Although chaos is vast, its depths are not peaceful. It is better to experiment in the primordial wilderness than to experiment in the depths of chaos.

The Great Dao is hard to find, and that's no exaggeration. If one could attain enlightenment by reading it once, there wouldn't only be two Great Dao Saints in the primordial world.

"Please wait a moment, Dao Ancestor, while I complete the final step."

"Old Taoist priest is too excited and has come too abruptly. I will take my leave now."

"There's no need to avoid me, Dao Ancestor, just wait for me for a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, under Jiang Haofeng's control, the Qiankun Dao Diagram in the void fell into his physical body and merged with it.

In an instant, the vast magical power within Jiang Haofeng's body merged into the Qiankun Dao Dao Diagram like countless rivers flowing into the sea. After being tempered by the Qiankun Dao Dao Diagram, it returned to Jiang Haofeng's body.

Each strand of returning magical power contained the power of three thousand laws, which was the magical power that Jiang Haofeng had painstakingly gathered for half an hour.

At this moment, the tempering speed was many times faster due to the Qiankun Dao Dao Diagram. In just a few breaths, all the magic power had been tempered.

During this process, Jiang Haofeng's physical body, which was the Five Elemental Pearls, gradually dissolved, transforming into the purest Five Elements spiritual power, which merged into the Qiankun Dao Diagram.

However, after being tempered by the Great Dao Qiankun Diagram, Jiang Haofeng's total magical power was reduced by thousands of times. His vast magical power was reduced to a thin layer, barely enough to fill his dantian.

The next moment, a terrifying suction force erupted from the Qiankun Dao Dao Diagram, drawing in a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. This energy continuously flowed into the Qiankun Dao Dao Diagram, where it was refined by the magic weapon and transformed into pure magical power containing the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos, continuously replenishing Jiang Haofeng's magical power.

Jiang Haofeng absorbed a vast amount of spiritual energy, even more than the total amount of spiritual energy in the body of an ordinary quasi-saint!
Half an hour later, Jiang Haofeng's magical power was replenished again, and his vast magical power was restored to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

The quantity of his magical power was the same as before, but the quality was completely different. His magical power was like a vast ocean, powerful and boundless. However, in terms of the refinement of his magical power, even a quasi-saint would be far inferior to Jiang Haofeng now.

One stream of magical power contains three thousand Great Daos, and one stream of magical power is comparable to three thousand ordinary streams of magical power. Moreover, it is not a simple fusion, but a subtle alignment with the ultimate principles of the Great Dao. The three thousand streams of magical power are woven into an exquisite array, thus achieving an effect where one plus one is greater than one.

The cultivation level achieved by condensing such magical power must far surpass that of ordinary magical treasures!
At this moment, Jiang Haofeng's breakthrough was not yet over. A massive amount of spiritual energy swept in and poured into the Qiankun Great Dao Diagram, transforming into special spiritual energy containing the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos, which began to nourish Jiang Haofeng's physical body and soul.

As time passed, Jiang Haofeng's physical body transformed into nine colors, with profound Dao patterns engraved on his bones and muscles, containing the three thousand Great Daos.

Each drop of blood is like a miniature diagram of the universe, with three thousand great principles interwoven within, truly profound and mysterious.

Jiang Haofeng's soul transformed directly into a Qiankun Dao Diagram, upon which the three thousand Dao Laws flowed, exactly the same as the Qiankun Dao Diagram that Jiang Haofeng had just refined.

Just as his physical body and soul were perfected, a sudden realization dawned on Jiang Haofeng. The Great Dao Qiankun Diagram manifested within Jiang Haofeng's body and then directly merged into his soul.

The moment the two merged, an indescribable feeling of comfort welled up in my heart. The true spirit merges with the divine soul; this is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, and the divine soul is the dwelling place of the true spirit.

As the Qiankun Dao Dao Diagram merged with the divine soul, the true spirit returned to the divine soul once more, like a weary bird returning to its nest, naturally feeling extremely comfortable.

After merging with the divine soul, the nine-colored mystical light on the Great Dao Qiankun Diagram shone brightly, illuminating Jiang Haofeng's entire body.

The next moment, all of Jiang Haofeng's internal organs, limbs, bones, muscles, and blood lit up with a faint nine-colored mysterious light, corresponding to the Qiankun Dao Diagram.

Only then did Jiang Haofeng realize that his physical body had been tempered into a different kind of Qiankun Dao Diagram.

As his physical body was fully illuminated, the Qiankun Dao Diagram within Jiang Haofeng's body, which was fused with his divine soul, shone brightly. In the next moment, it transformed into countless nine-colored mystical lights that scattered into Jiang Haofeng's limbs and bones.

In that instant, Jiang Haofeng's aura surged, increasing more than tenfold!
A profound and mysterious realization welled up in Jiang Haofeng's mind, and he suddenly understood. So that's how it is!

The physical body, soul, and spirit are all integrated into the spiritual treasure. The deceased is completely fused into one. At this point, one becomes the spiritual treasure, and the spiritual treasure becomes oneself!

This is the method of fusing weapons to prove the Dao!
"Congratulations, fellow Taoist, congratulations, fellow Taoist!"

"The Great Dao has been achieved; the day of enlightenment is just around the corner!"

Hongjun, who had been observing everything from the sidelines, immediately cupped his hands in congratulations.

At this moment, Hongjun Laozu also had a look of emotion on his face.

The chaotic journey of the past is now just around the corner. Although Fellow Daoist Haofeng had already taken half a step back then, I also believed that he could take the final step and become a fellow Daoist.

But unexpectedly, in just half a year, Fellow Daoist Haofeng has achieved such great things, created such an amazing technique, merged his body with a spiritual treasure, used the spiritual treasure to suppress the wheel of the Great Dao, and finally became a Great Dao Saint.

Such a method of attaining enlightenment is truly exquisite and breathtaking!
"You're too kind, Dao Ancestor."

Jiang Haofeng smiled and returned the greeting. The idea was feasible, and Jiang Haofeng was extremely happy.

What the Dao Ancestor didn't know was that the Fusion of Weapons to Prove the Dao method was one of the methods for proving the Dao devised by Jiang Haofeng, rather than a solution he had come up with in the last six months.

However, according to Jiang Haofeng's deduction, the method of fusing weapons and magical treasures, which entrusts one's own Great Dao to weapons and magical treasures, would only result in limited improvement even if it were successful. At most, one's strength would only double, and it would not cause a qualitative change. Therefore, it was considered inferior and was abandoned.

He plans to spread his teachings to the human race after he attains enlightenment, in order to enhance the overall strength of the human race.

Unexpectedly, the method of cultivating the unity of all paths ultimately failed to stabilize all paths.

The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is hidden away. The Great Dao is boundless and cannot be fully comprehended. The Great Dao itself is imperfect, and imperfection is perfection.

Unable to find a solution through the Great Dao, Jiang Haofeng turned his attention back to the Fusion Weapon Dao Proving Technique. Unexpectedly, this discarded technique resonated perfectly with the Dao of Fusion of Myriad Daos! (End of Chapter)
