Rewriting the Gods

However, this is only the beginning. The real challenge is to dispel the wisdom and Daoist principles within the Book of Myriad Phenomena.

This is the real difficulty in refining the treasure, and it is also the most difficult step for Jiang Haofeng to break through.

These innate treasures are equivalent to saints in the primordial world. The Great Dao within them has already surpassed the limitations of ordinary perfection and possesses three-tenths of the power of a saint.

Of course, it only possesses a fraction of its power, and compared to a true Dao Saint, the innate treasure is undoubtedly far inferior.

Previously, Jiang Haofeng was not clear about the difference between innate treasures, Heavenly Dao Saints, and Great Dao Saints, but now that his cultivation has improved, he has come to understand the key to it.

Just as acquired treasures do not belong to the category of acquired spiritual treasures, innate treasures do not actually belong to the category of innate spiritual treasures.

In the original chaos, the supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure was the pinnacle of innate spiritual treasures. There were no supreme innate treasures above it. Above the supreme-grade innate spiritual treasure was the chaotic spiritual treasure.

Jiang Haofeng currently knows of only two Chaos Treasures: the Pangu Axe and the Creation Green Lotus, both of which were Pangu's supreme treasures for proving his Dao.

Of course, perhaps the Dao Ancestor's Creation Jade Disc also advanced to the level of a Chaos Spiritual Treasure along with the Dao Ancestor's attainment of Dao, but Jiang Haofeng had never seen it with his own eyes and did not know.

It remains in doubt for now.

As for this innate treasure, it is more like a special spiritual treasure that is above the top-grade innate spiritual treasure but below the chaotic spiritual treasure.

Just like the Heavenly Dao Saint, with the blessing of the Primordial Purple Qi, although not as great as the Great Dao Saint, he still has three parts of the Great Dao Saint's demeanor, far beyond what a Quasi-Saint can compare to.

This applies to both sages of the Heavenly Dao and innate treasures.

This is basically the case with most of the innate treasures in the primordial world.

The Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner, and Chaos Bell were formed by the splitting of Pangu's Axe. Each of them was divided into three parts, and only one-third of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure's origin was present. Naturally, they could not compare with the true Chaos Spiritual Treasure. However, precisely because they contained one-third of the Chaos Spiritual Treasure's origin, they far surpassed the top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Therefore, it is called a supreme innate treasure.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book in Jiang Haofeng's hands was also like that. Originally, it was just a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, considered a first-class magic weapon in the Chaos Realm, second only to Chaos spiritual treasures.

Later, the wise demon god fought against Pangu and was killed in one blow!

Although the God of Wisdom knows the Three Thousand Great Daos, he cannot achieve the fusion of all the Daos. Naturally, he would have no chance of survival against Pangu. However, it is precisely because the God of Wisdom cultivates all three thousand Great Daos that his abilities far surpass those of others.

Perhaps his combat power wasn't high, but the sheer number of supernatural abilities he possessed was unparalleled in the Chaos Realm. Relying on numerous Great Daos, the Wisdom Demon God managed to keep his life afloat and avoid immediate demise.

However, Pangu's power was formidable, and his ability to break through all laws with a single force was exceptionally domineering. Even the three thousand Great Daos within his body could not erase its Dao essence.

Ultimately, with no other choice, the God of Wisdom merged his divine and demonic origins along with the three thousand Great Daos he had comprehended into the Book of Myriad Manifestations. A Chaos God at the peak of Quasi-Saint level sacrificed himself, finally allowing the Book of Myriad Manifestations, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, to take a half-step forward and reach the level of an innate supreme treasure.

This was the information Jiang Haofeng received after he had completely refined the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book.

The birth of every innate treasure is full of fortuitous coincidences. Most importantly, compared to the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the innate treasure contains a Dao that has already transcended some aspects, far beyond what the perfect Dao can compare to.

It is not easy to disperse the Great Dao of Wisdom within the Book of Myriad Phenomena. This is equivalent to forcibly shattering the original essence of a Heavenly Dao Saint, while ensuring that the original power of the Book of Myriad Phenomena is not damaged.

This is a troublesome matter, and even if the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book were willing to cooperate, it wouldn't be easy to do.

However, this matter is difficult, but it must be done. The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book is the only treasure that Jiang Haofeng can think of at the moment.

As his thoughts settled, twelve distinct Dao of Power suddenly erupted from Jiang Haofeng's body. The twelve Dao of Power merged into one, and a sense of transcendence swept out.

The Twelve Heavenly Fiends Formation!
Although Jiang Haofeng now has better methods, the Wheel of the Great Dao is ultimately an illusion. Just maintaining the Wheel of the Great Dao consumes eighty percent of Jiang Haofeng's mental energy, let alone using the Wheel of the Great Dao to eliminate the wisdom of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book.

Before the Wheel of the Great Dao is fully solidified, it is basically useless except for a complete burst of power. If we exclude the Great Dao of Wisdom from the Book of Myriad Phenomena, it is simpler to use the Great Dao of Force.

Without hesitation, Jiang Haofeng directly controlled the Great Dao of Power to permeate the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book, beginning to erode the source of wisdom within it.

The origin of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book is even more difficult to remove than imagined. Jiang Haofeng's summoning of Pangu's true form is a power at the level of a Heavenly Dao Saint, but the origin of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book is also a power at the level of a Heavenly Dao Saint.

The two are of comparable quality, and even if the Book of Myriad Phenomena were willing to cooperate, the process of obliteration would be extremely slow.

Three full days passed before Jiang Haofeng managed to erase a trace of his original wisdom, which was less than one ten-thousandth of the total amount contained in the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book.

However, Jiang Haofeng showed no sign of defeat. His eyes gleamed and his face was full of joy. This was a feasible plan!

Proving the Way is in sight!

As for the time issue, Jiang Haofeng was not worried at all. He had plenty of time and could take it slow.

The ancient human race had long prepared a way out, and the path to enlightenment was just around the corner, so what did a little time matter?

At this moment, Jiang Haofeng focused all his attention on obliterating the Great Dao Origin of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Book.

Calmness returned to the chaos once more, and the causal storm of the past seemed to have vanished without a trace, like a fleeting moment.

·······
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye!

In the primordial world, the human race has dispatched a large number of peak Taiyi Golden Immortals to take action over the years, while also inviting allies from all over the world to join in.

The Phoenix Clan of the Immortal Volcano, along with the immortals of the East Sea Intercepting Sect, and even the maids of Nuwa Palace, all descended to the mortal realm to assist, creating calamities and hindering the westward journey.

All of humanity's allies joined the fight, and combined with humanity's own resources, they caused the pilgrims a great deal of trouble along the way.

Many people even managed to mimic the monkey's demonic ape form, but thanks to Tang Sanzang's calming mantra, the monkey never lost control again.

And so, the pilgrims traversed mountains and valleys, overcoming seventy-nine tribulations along the way. Only two more tribulations remained before the eighty-first.

Of course, the human race also gained a lot from the seventy-nine tribulations along the way. In the last ten years alone, seventeen people have broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. This includes Hua Yang and Hua Yin, who previously made the pilgrims suffer, and they have both advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and obtained the Dao Fruit.

The pilgrims, being at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, are themselves the best whetstone!
Those who hadn't yet broken through also gained some insights, and their strength improved considerably.

Zhonghuang Mountain!
Jiang Haofeng sat cross-legged on his old meditation cushion, his eyes filled with nine-colored mystical light that traversed the endless void as he looked at the pilgrims who were about to leave the Southern Continent.

Behind Jiang Haofeng stood three people.

They are Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King; Shang Yang, who was recognized by the human race's destiny; and Zhuang Zhou, who inherited Jiang Haofeng's legacy.

These three were the strongest trump cards that the human race had left behind to stump the pilgrims on their journey to the West; each of them possessed immense power.

However, Jiang Haofeng's strength greatly improved later, and the human race made new arrangements, so these three became backup options.

But since all the preparations had been made, they naturally had to take action; the journey of the pilgrims had been far too smooth.

If we were to let them simply pass away, it would seem as if humanity lacked sufficient cultural depth.

We should certainly obtain this scripture, but we can't just let him take it away so easily.

Jiang Haofeng sat quietly on the meditation cushion. Time passed by, and suddenly, a clear voice rang out, "The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit of the Intercepting Sect has come to assist on the orders of her master!" Jiang Haofeng looked up and saw two figures standing outside Zhonghuang Mountain.

A man and a woman. The woman wore a red Taoist robe and a red crown on her head. Her face exuded an indescribable heroic spirit. The man had an ordinary appearance and wore a simple coarse cloth Taoist robe, but deep in his eyes, there was a strange blood-red light.

Both of them possessed the aura of a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal.

"Please come in, my two young friends."

A smile appeared on Jiang Haofeng's face. With a wave of his hand, the Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array in front of him instantly cracked open.

"Yes, senior!"

The two bowed respectfully, then flew into Zhonghuang Mountain. Looking at Jiang Haofeng sitting cross-legged before them, they didn't hesitate and immediately greeted him respectfully:

"Disciple Fire Spirit Holy Mother, disciple Yu Yuan, pays respects to Ancestor Haofeng!"

The two bowed with utmost respect, for the person before them was a figure akin to their grandmaster, a revered saint. Even their master would have to bow to him with utmost respect.

"No need for formalities, please rise."

After glancing at the two, a mysterious light flashed in Jiang Haofeng's eyes. He grasped the laws they cultivated and quickly deduced them to their ultimate limit.

With a flick of his hand, two completely different Daoist auras appeared, transforming into two Daoist patterns in the void. One was entirely crimson, like a flame, while the other was as red as blood, exuding an eerie aura.

"Thank you both for your help. These two talismans are a gift to you."

"After this trip, these two talismans should be able to lend you two young friends a hand."

Sensing the profound and mysterious Daoist aura emanating from the Daoist talisman, which shared the same origin as the laws they cultivated, the two men's eyes lit up. They quickly put away the talisman and respectfully said, "Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon us, Ancestor. The Jie Sect and the human race have been on good terms for generations, helping and supporting each other. If the human race is in need, we will help without hesitation."

"good!"

Jiang Haofeng nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Everyone is here, let's set off. Thank you all for your help this time."

"Yes!"

The two immortals of the Jie Sect, along with the three immortals of the human race, bowed in greeting.

After bowing, the five transformed into a streak of light and soared out of the sky, leaving Zhonghuang Mountain.

Watching the five people leave, Jiang Haofeng's smile remained unchanged. "I want to see if the Buddhist sect has any new trump cards up its sleeve."

There were five people on the pilgrimage, and naturally, there were also five who would face hardships.

Only three were chosen by the human race. Jiang Haofeng originally planned to invite one more person from the Jie Sect and one from the Nuwa Palace to make a total of five people, and set up the second to last difficulty on the journey to the West.

Unexpectedly, a letter arrived from the Nuwa Palace. The Nuwa Palace does have quite a few peak Taiyi Golden Immortals, but their combat power is not considered formidable. The strongest is Yang Chan, and she mainly relies on the power of her magic weapons, so her combat strength is worrying.

Moreover, since innate spiritual treasures cannot be used on the journey to the West, and the Lotus Lantern cannot be used, Yang Chan's strength is indeed somewhat lacking.

It's not that Nuwa Palace doesn't want to help, it's just that they are powerless to do so.

So Jiang Haofeng simply borrowed two people from the Jie Sect.

It was quite a coincidence, but it was just right.

Among the third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect, the three strongest were Yu Yuan and Wen Zhong, disciples of the Golden Spirit Mother, and the Fire Spirit Mother, a disciple of the Daoist Duobao.

These three were arguably the most outstanding among the third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect during the Investiture of the Gods.

They are in no way inferior to Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi of the Chan Sect.

However, the three of them were unlucky. Yu Yuan was captured by Ju Liusun, a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, and was killed by Lu Ya with the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife.

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit was killed by Guang Chengzi, a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect.

Wen Zhong was even refined by Yun Zhongzi, a second-generation disciple of the Chan Sect.

They were basically killed by second-generation disciples who bullied the younger ones. The three outstanding disciples of the Jie Sect perished, and their fame could not be compared with that of Yang Jian, Nezha, Lei Zhenzi and others from the Chan Sect.

But now that Jiang Haofeng has interfered, these three are still around, and Wen Zhong has become one of the Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Court, the chief god of the Thunder Department.

However, the other two are still honing their skills at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, making them the perfect candidates to make their move.

The two of them, along with the three immortals prepared by the human race, formed a perfect challenge, adding some fun for the monkeys.

·······
The westernmost edge of Jambudvipa.

Tang Sanzang sat on a white horse that was transformed from a jade unicorn, with the monkey walking in front, the white horse following closely behind, Pigsy following idly behind, and Sha Wujing jumping and bowing at the very back.

The monkey looked at the faintly visible sea before it, and a long-lost look of joy appeared on its face.

"It's the Western Sea; we're about to leave Jambudvipa."

Upon hearing this, a look of relief appeared on the faces of all the pilgrims.

It is said that the human race is the largest race in the prehistoric world. In the past thirteen years, the five people present have thoroughly experienced what it means to have the foundation of a great race.

The five of them were proud of themselves as top performers in their respective realms, but even so, the human race managed to create seventy-nine trials, each one different and each one weak.

Only then did the monkey realize how high the sky was and how thick the earth was!
Thinking back to where he was in Chang'an, he felt secretly fortunate.

"I think you're celebrating too soon. We haven't even left Jambudvipa yet, and there are still two tribulations left out of the eighty-one tribulations."

"How could the humans let us pass?"

"The real trouble is yet to come."

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned serious.

Yes, it is a matter of great importance, and the human race will certainly not give up. It will only become more and more difficult as time goes on.

The seventy-ninth tribulation I had overcome was no different from the previous ones.

The true strength of humanity lies in the dilemma that lies ahead.

This is also the most difficult dilemma on the entire journey to the West.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will witness the true power of humanity in the upcoming dilemma! (End of Chapter)
