Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi's expression froze!

Yes, I became your disciple when my master attained enlightenment. At that time, he had already reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. But after so many years, I am still only at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. I have been unable to sever my three corpses and take that final step.

Although a Quasi-Saint is essentially still a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the difference between the two, whether in terms of strength or subtle differences, is vast.

Putting aside other things, take the Seven Arrows of Nailhead, a causal curse technique specifically designed for Great Luo Golden Immortals!

Generally speaking, if a Great Immortal does not possess great merit, as long as the person who performs this technique has enough luck, the person who is hit by the technique will almost certainly die!

However, this technique has almost no effect on quasi-saints!

"This disciple is puzzled; please enlighten me, Master!"

After a moment of contemplation, Jin Chan bowed respectfully to Zhunti and replied.

"Um......."

Master Zhunti nodded slightly, then shook his head slightly, and said with a sigh.

"The Golden Cicada Clan is endowed with extraordinary talents. Although they are not innate deities, as long as they have six wings or more, their potential is no less than that of innate beings. An eight-winged Golden Cicada is comparable to the potential of an innate demon god."

However, your race was essentially born from the original essence of the Time God among the three thousand Chaos Gods, combined with the golden light of heaven and earth. Unfortunately, the Time God hindered Pangu's creation of the world, which displeased the Great Dao.

Therefore, you who were born according to the principles of time and space are bound to have some flaws!

The innate spiritual nature is chaotic; without a great opportunity, one can never hope to attain enlightenment!

Although you have now successfully attained enlightenment, the flaws within it have not been completely eliminated! This affects your progress in cultivation. If these flaws cannot be eliminated, you may never be able to sever your physical body!

There is only one way to eliminate this flaw: great merit, and even more so, great merit!

As Zhunti spoke in a gentle, slow voice, Jin Chanzi was shocked and frustrated by his master's explanation. "Great Dao Merit?"

Where is he supposed to find that?!

There aren't many ways to accumulate great merit!

As far as we know in the Primordial World, one is to create the world from chaos, receive the Great Dao's reward, and gain the reward of the Great Dao's merits; the other is to create reincarnation like Houtu!

Houtu Niangniang transformed herself into a being of reincarnation, gaining immeasurable merits from the Great Dao. These merits directly propelled her to the level of a Primordial Saint, and now she has become a Dao Lord-level powerhouse.

Later, some people tried to imitate Houtu in creating reincarnation in the world. Not to mention the Great Thousand Worlds and the Middle Thousand Worlds, there are still quite a few Small Thousand Worlds in the Chaos. Creating reincarnation in a Small Thousand World is still very simple.

However, for some reason, after Houtu transformed into a being and entered the cycle of reincarnation, it seemed that the Great Dao was inspired or something.

Throughout the entire chaos, countless small and medium worlds automatically evolved into the cycle of reincarnation. These cycles were not as complete as the six paths of reincarnation in the primordial world, but they could basically evolve into two, three, or four paths of reincarnation.

This directly dispelled the hopes of the primordial gods.

"Creating a world? ......."

Thinking of this, Jin Chanzi shook his head inwardly. It wasn't that he was unwilling, but that he couldn't do it!

To be honest, achieving the perfect cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal is very difficult in the chaotic world far removed from the primordial world, since the chaos there is unstable and there is always the possibility of chaotic storms or chaotic beasts.

However, it is still very safe in the chaotic world that is close to the primordial world!

With the radiation of the power of the Primordial World, a great world that is half a step into the Great Dao Heaven Domain, the chaos around it is very stable, without even a chaotic storm. In fact, those chaotic beasts dare not approach.

However, the most popular and reliable method of creation in the primordial world is to use innate spiritual roots as the foundation for suppressing chaos. Without innate spiritual roots, even innate spiritual treasures or supreme innate treasures are useless.

When the sages established their Daoist temples in the chaos, they used innate spiritual roots as the means of suppression.

Even the best innate spiritual root can only support one top-tier middle-thousand world. If you don't have a chaotic spiritual root, then forget about creating a great world!

As for whether it's possible to create a world without innate spiritual roots?

Of course it's possible, and there is a chance of success, although the probability is not high. After all, many small worlds in the chaos are formed from chaotic bubbles caused by chaotic storms.

These smaller worlds lack innate spiritual roots for suppression.

However, only one in ten thousand of these worlds could survive!

It's fine if you conceive it yourself, but if you, as the creator, fail to open it up, then forget about the rewards of the Great Dao and the merits of creation, but rather the boundless karmic force of creation!

That's equivalent to destroying a world.

The destruction of worlds is not advocated by the Great Dao. Let alone a Great Luo Golden Immortal, even a Saint would be severely injured if he dared to destroy a Middle Thousand World, due to the immense karmic force involved!

As for destroying the entire world...

Haha, forget about becoming a saint, just surviving would be a blessing.

This is why, although sages possess the ability to create a great world, at least a low-level one, not a single sage in the Three Realms has successfully created a great world...

No, there is still one person, and that is his senior master, the Guide Daoist.

Based on the Great Dao of the Dream World and the incense and faith of all living beings, it did not require the suppression of the Chaos Spiritual Root and successfully opened up a low-level Great Thousand World!

However, for the sake of this vast world, all the incense offerings collected since the establishment of the Western Religion have been exhausted.

If one possesses a superior innate spiritual root and Jin Chanzi has reached the Great Luo Perfection cultivation level, he could still risk opening up a low-level middle-thousand world in the chaos.

But innate spiritual roots aren't as common as cabbages!

Although Buddhism exists, it is a large and powerful organization with numerous disciples. Duobao would never allow himself to use a single innate spiritual root to create a middle-thousand world!

Now, Jin Chanzi truly envies the Green Lotus Daoist who ascended from the lower realm.

To elevate a minor world to a middle world is, in a sense, a unique kind of creator.

The great merits and virtues inherent in this are absolutely indispensable.

"Disciple... humbly begs for Master's guidance..."

My master must not have just said it casually; there must be a solution...

"Hmm, you're quite clever..."

Indeed, your senior uncle and I have formed a powerful force, but it requires you to undergo reincarnation... a true reincarnation, abandoning your original nature and washing away all your cultivation...

Once this great undertaking is completed, you will gain immeasurable merit from the Great Dao, allowing you to sever the Three Corpses and instantly attain Buddhahood!

Zhunti Daoist looked at Jin Chanzi seriously and said.

Upon hearing this, Jin Chanzi was startled. "Ah...this..."

"What's wrong? Don't you have confidence?"

"Master Zhunti laughed."

Lack of confidence? Indeed, I lack confidence. Reincarnation is not so simple, because each reincarnation gives birth to a new personality, and when one attains the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, one will be given new wisdom from past lives!

If one lacks the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal in their past life, and their foundation is insufficient, then everything from their past life will become the resources for their personality in this life.

However, if one was a Great Luo Golden Immortal in their previous life, or even a very strong one, their current personality will be devoured by their previous personality, and their previous personality will return.

But there are exceptions!

Moreover, a living example appeared right in front of Jin Chanzi: the Eastern King Duke!

The Eastern King is a late-stage Quasi-Saint!

However, with the help of the Sage of Taiqing, the personality of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, Donghua Dijun, was forcibly devoured, thus creating the now famous Donghua Dijun, while Dongwanggong disappeared forever.

He, Jin Chanzi, is not even a Quasi-Saint yet, but merely a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Would his reincarnation be stronger than that of Dong Wanggong?

The Eastern King Duke was passively reincarnated, while I actively sought death. How can they be the same?

He also noticed his disciple's concerns.

Zhunti Daoist felt a slight disappointment, but still said softly, "Don't worry, with your senior uncle and I, two sages, protecting you, there will absolutely be no accidents..."
