Honghuang: I am Qitian and I want to fight for the throne

Chapter 477 Half-Step Great Dao Realm, Thinking of Senior Brother

"See Father."

Nuwa bowed to the Primordial Spirit, who sat high on the throne of the Creator God.

"It's good to be back."

The primordial spirit's solemn expression softened:

"How is the situation in the primordial world? Has the person who comprehended the Law of Power brought back?"

"Never!"

Nuwa shook her head, her voice tinged with complexity:
“He refused. His daughter could tell that he didn’t believe what I said and insisted on staying in the prehistoric world.”

"Why not forcibly bring him back? The talisman I left you is enough to suppress him!"

"He possesses an eternal treasure!"

Nuwa only said one sentence and didn't explain anything else!

"what?"

Even the Primordial Spirit, with its supreme composure, couldn't help but show a look of shock.

"An eternal treasure?! That world actually possesses an eternal treasure. Was it born of some extraordinary opportunity in that world? Or is it a legacy of that 'plate'?"

The primordial spirit murmured:
"That native was indeed very lucky, but unfortunately, he didn't understand fate and ended up ashes."

Speaking of which,
The primordial spirit regained its composure and addressed Nuwa:
"Back then, you strayed into that 'wasteland' and lost yourself for countless years. Now that you have returned, rest well. I will take care of the matters of the primordial world."

"Yes!"

A hint of worry flashed in Nuwa's eyes, but she said nothing and bowed to take her leave.

After Nuwa's figure departed, the Primordial Spirit's deep eyes, which seemed to contain an endless galaxy, slowly turned towards the direction of the primordial eternal world:

"Whether you are truly evil, a lingering remnant of a soul, or a true spirit that has not yet been extinguished and is attempting to return, it is all wishful thinking."

"There is no place for you in this original world!"

"Since you chose to seal yourself off as a 'wasteland' back then, then you should completely fall into silence and eternal damnation!"

Speaking of last,
The primordial spirit's eyes were filled with endless, bone-chilling killing intent.

"Shh!"

Three profound divine thoughts, imbued with will, suddenly shot out from his primordial spirit!

Ignoring the barriers of time and space, they headed deep into the three primordial continents of Great Wilderness, Xuanhuang, and Taixu.

------

Time flows like a chaotic river, ceaselessly surging and washing over every corner of the primordial Three Realms.

The world changes, and life evolves and changes.

One Yuanhui, ten Yuanhui, one hundred Yuanhui...

A full ten thousand yuan's worth of time quietly passed on the vast scale of the primordial world.

Huaguo Mountain, this sacred place that gathers the boundless fortune of the three realms, appears increasingly wondrous and extraordinary in the torrent of time.

The spiritual energy was so rich that it materialized into rain and dew; the laws and principles of Dao flowed clearly in the air; exotic flowers and rare herbs covered the land; and rare birds and auspicious beasts roosted there.

Only the Water Curtain Cave remains shrouded in profound silence.

It has become a sacred place in the hearts of all living beings in Huaguo Mountain.

Time seemed to lose its meaning there.

On this day, the primordial world operated as usual, the saints presided over their sacred sites, the great beings cultivated in seclusion in their caves, and all living beings multiplied and thrived.

suddenly——

"Buzz!"

An indescribable and incomprehensible terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from the deepest part of the Water Curtain Cave in Flower Fruit Mountain without warning!

It ignored the layers of powerful seals within the Water Curtain Cave, and like an invisible ripple or a world-destroying tide, it swept across the entire prehistoric Three Realms in an instant!

The celestial palaces trembled, and the stars flickered uncertainly.
The mountains and rivers of the Immortal Realm fell silent, and all living beings prostrated themselves in trembling.

Ghosts wailed and gods howled in the netherworld, and the light of reincarnation flickered.

Whether they were ignorant mortals, powerful immortals, or even sages, at this moment, their souls clenched tightly!
A sense of dread, stemming from their very survival instincts, instantly gripped their hearts!

fear!

Pure fear!
Like an ant facing a giant god who created the world!

However, this oppressive force came and went quickly, lasting only a moment before receding like the tide, as if it had never existed.

But the three realms of the primordial world have fallen into a state of utter desolation.

All living beings, including saints, turned pale, still shaken, and their gazes turned in unison toward Flower Fruit Mountain, filled with unprecedented awe and horror.

"It is the Holy Venerable Equal to Heaven!"

"The Holy Venerable has broken through again!!!"

Inside the Water Curtain Cave.

Qi Tian slowly opened his eyes.

Deep within the pupils, a pure and ultimate force surges, collides, and evolves!
This force conveys a sense of perfection, flawlessness, and ultimate strength.

A genuine smile of joy appeared on Qi Tian's face.

"The Law of Power... Finally, fully comprehended! Half-step into the Great Dao Realm, hahaha!"

A hint of emotion was mixed in with the laughter.

He originally thought that by gathering the fortune of the three realms into one, his comprehension of the final ten percent of the power of the law would come naturally and wouldn't take much time. However, he ultimately underestimated the difficulty of the Great Dao.

The closer you get to the end, the more obscure and profound the laws of power become.

If it weren't for the insightful imprint left by the remnant soul of the Great God Pangu, even with another 20,000 Yuan Hui, he might not have been able to glimpse the path and step into the half-step Great Dao Realm.

but,

Although he had reached the half-step Great Dao realm, Qi Tian did not emerge from seclusion.

Now that the primordial world is peaceful and there are no major enemies, his most important task now is to do his best to improve his strength in order to deal with the threat from the original world.

Whether it's the time of one or half a kalpa mentioned by Pangu's lingering thoughts, or the time when the four rulers would attack the original world after the first kalpa mentioned by Nuwa, Qi Tian would need absolute and overwhelming strength to break through the perilous situation.

"Power is the foundation, from which all laws arise. Now that I have advanced to the half-step Great Dao realm, the next step is to comprehend the other three thousand laws."

With that thought, Qi Tian once again immersed himself in the supreme realm of cultivation.

but,

This time, the comprehension was much faster than the previous understanding of the Law of Force.

The Three Thousand Laws seemed to have been stripped of their layers of mist, becoming clearer than ever before.

The mysteries of countless laws—metal, wood, water, fire, earth; yin and yang; creation; time and space; destiny; cause and effect; reincarnation—flowed into his primordial spirit's sea of ​​consciousness like a clear stream, and were quickly analyzed, understood, and mastered.

fast!
Unbelievably fast!

In less than nine thousand eons, the light clusters of laws symbolizing the three thousand Great Daos were fully lit up within Qi Tian's primordial spirit, radiating a perfect and flawless Dao charm!

Its speed was countless times faster than the laws of comprehension it had once possessed!
in fact,

This incredible speed was not a fluke.

Firstly, as the representative of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, Qi Tian held power over the Three Realms. He was constantly blessed by boundless fortune and the faith and aspirations of countless beings, which made him enlightened.

Secondly, the assistance of the Heavenly Dao Origin itself contains the evolution and trajectory of all the laws of this world, providing him with the most intuitive reference.

Besides the two points mentioned above, the most important thing is—

A gift from the spirit of the Chaos Pearl!

Back then, when the Chaos Pearl ascended to become the Chaos World, and its spirit became the Heavenly Dao, it conveyed its insights into the Three Thousand Laws to Qi Tian.

However, because he had not yet fully comprehended the Law of Qitian Power and was worried about his future cultivation, he took the initiative to cut it off.

However, he completely comprehended the three thousand laws passed down by the artifact spirit and sealed them all deep within his primordial spirit!
And after he advanced to the half-step Great Dao realm and fully comprehended the Law of Power—

By directly breaking the seal, one can directly inherit the insights into the laws.

However, since the Primordial World has been upgraded to the Eternal World, with its laws being more profound, more complete, and more fundamental, he needs to spend more time "translating" and "upgrading" these insights to make them conform to the laws of the Eternal World.

Otherwise, with his current half-step Great Dao realm and the "template" left by the Chaos Pearl, he could almost completely comprehend the three thousand laws of the Chaos World in the blink of an eye!

Of course, the depth and power of such insights into the laws are far inferior to those gained through re-comprehension and sublimation in the eternal world.

"call……"

Qi Tian let out a long sigh.

The radiance of the three thousand laws surrounding his body slowly receded, eventually returning to calm, as if it had merged into every inch of his flesh and bones, perfectly blending with the origin of the law of power, forming a unified and harmonious Daoist rhythm.

At this moment, he

His understanding of the laws has reached the peak of the half-step Great Dao.

It is only a hair's breadth away from the realm of domination.

However, Qi Tian did not continue his seclusion to attempt to break through to the "Dominator Realm".

It's not that I don't want to.

That supreme realm, which transcends even half a step into the Great Dao, is the goal he seeks.

It's not that they lack confidence.

With the Law of Power perfected, the Three Thousand Laws fully comprehended, the Eternal Treasure in his possession, the Heavenly Dao in his hand, and the aura of fortune bestowed upon him, he is now qualified to climb to the pinnacle.

The problem is that--

He didn't know which way to go!

The insights passed down from the lingering will of Pangu stopped at the ultimate perfection of the Law of Power and the realm of half a step towards the Great Dao.

There is no record in the enlightenment of how to truly step from the half-step Great Dao to the level of a ruler and become the true ruler of an eternal world.

"Dominator. Eye of the Ruins"

Qi Tian's deep gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space, reaching into the depths of chaos.

"I can only seek a way to improve there. Besides, I have already reached the half-step Great Dao realm. It is time to seek my original true self and the final answer!"

Qi Tian ended his long period of seclusion.

With one step, his figure vanished into the Water Curtain Cave like a dream bubble.

------

In the land of Dongsheng, there is Huaguo Mountain.

In a tranquil valley filled with spiritual energy and blooming fairy flowers.

The crystal-clear Fairy Lake is like a mirror, with strange rocks standing along its shores and orchids and magnolias in full bloom.

Five figures, each radiating the powerful aura of a peak-level Primordial Golden Immortal, sat together.

It consists of Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, Ao Lie the White Dragon, Nezha, and Yang Jian.

Time has left no trace on them, but it has enriched their character and temperament.

Zhu Bajie's physique remained the same, but his brows showed less laziness and more vicissitudes and composure;
Sha Wujing remained kind and honest, but his gaze had become more profound.

The little white dragon possessed a graceful demeanor and restrained dragon might;

Nezha exudes heroic spirit, his Fire-Tipped Spear leaning against him;
Yang Jian was the most composed, with his three-pointed double-edged sword held horizontally in front of his knees, his third eye on his forehead occasionally opening and closing, revealing a glimmer of divine light.

"...Hey, speaking of which, the one I miss the most right now is my senior brother."

Pigsy picked up a peach, but instead of putting it in his mouth, he rubbed it, gazing absently at the lake.

"Although it wasn't my original intention to go west to obtain Buddhist scriptures, the old monk's nagging gave me a headache."

Pigsy paused, then spoke with a touch of emotion:
"But those days, with all the fighting and slaying, the dangers and the fun, were the most memorable, the most carefree and happy days of my life. They were even more comfortable and joyful than when I was with Cuilan."

At this point, his tone gradually lowered, carrying an undisguised sense of desolation:
"It's a pity. In the end, Monkey King sacrificed himself to protect Flower Fruit Mountain... Alas~"

A heavy sigh conveyed endless regret and sorrow.

In that battle, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, sacrificed himself and perished at the hands of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, a pain that would forever remain in his heart.

"Second Senior Brother, don't be too sad!"

Sha Wujing patted Zhu Bajie on the shoulder and said in a deep voice, "I can comfort you."

"Eldest Brother... he was ultimately a wisp of the Holy Venerable's spirit. Now that the Holy Venerable has returned and taken control of the Three Realms, Eldest Brother... can't really be considered to have truly perished."

Although he was speaking, his gaze was fixed on the White Dragon, Nezha, and Yang Jian, as if seeking their approval.

"Third Senior Brother is right!"

Little White Dragon Ao Lie nodded, a hint of complexity in his eyes:
"The eldest brother was originally a part of the Holy Venerable. Now that the Holy Venerable is here, the eldest brother's will must also be here."

Nezha and Yang Jian nodded silently.

It's unclear whether they were trying to convince themselves or comforting Pigsy.

However, Pigsy shook his head, a rare stubbornness and sorrow appearing in his eyes:
"It's different! Brother Sha, it's different!"

He raised his head and looked towards the direction of the Water Curtain Cave, which was still shrouded in a vast aura of fortune.

“I, Old Pig, understand what you mean. But the Holy Venerable is the Holy Venerable, and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven! My eldest brother is the monkey who will pull my ear and call me a ‘fool,’ who will tease me, but who will also stand up against all the gods and Buddhas to protect us! That loyalty, that temperament, that unique ‘Great Sage Equaling Heaven’ cannot be replaced by a mere ‘distraction’ or a ‘Holy Venerable’!”

It's gone, that's it.

"I miss my senior brother."

By the end, Pigsy's voice had choked up a little.

He didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and silently looked at the peach in his hand, as if it reflected the unruly, towering golden figure of the past.

The valley was silent for a moment, except for the sound of ripples on the lake surface caused by a gentle breeze.

Sha Wujing and the White Dragon Horse also fell silent.

The deep-seated regret and longing were completely stirred up by Pigsy's words, spreading throughout everyone's hearts.

Even Nezha and Yang Jian were somewhat moved.

They had many dealings with Sun Wukong and considered the loyal and righteous monkey a friend.

Unfortunately.
The person I knew is no longer here.

But at this moment——

"Oh? You idiot, you remember that clearly."

A defiant voice suddenly rang out.

The five men trembled violently!

It was like being struck by lightning!
This voice, this tone
They looked up abruptly, following the sound.

Not far from the lake, a figure stood quietly, seemingly out of nowhere.

He stood tall and straight, wearing a simple blue Taoist robe.

His long hair was casually draped over his shoulders, his face was handsome, and his eyes were as deep as a vast starry sea, as if they contained the endless mysteries of creation, birth, death, and reincarnation.

His aura was harmonious and natural, one with heaven and earth, yet transcendent.

It was as if standing there, one was the center of all things, the source of all laws.

It wasn't the hairy face and thunderous mouth they were familiar with, but the occasional hint of disdain and arrogance in the depths of his eyes, the faint, familiar curve of his lips, and that unique charm etched deep into his soul were still there.
"Senior Brother?!"

Pigsy trembled and lost his voice.

"it's me!"

The newcomer nodded and smiled gently: "Pigsy, Sandy, White Dragon, and Nezha, Yang Jian."

"It's been a long time!"
