The ninth stage, is this the realm of the ninth stage?
In the Ancestral Witch world, Zhu Zhengwei spread his arms with a slight smile on his lips.
"It's truly terrifying to the extreme... No wonder they said before that I didn't even compare to a regular soldier..."
At this moment, he finally felt the incredibility of this realm.
Now, as he looked at the eighth-stage Divine Spirits in front of him...
It was as if he were a grand Celestial Dao of the vast Red Moon world, looking at the eighth-stage ants surviving within his own world...
This is the ninth-stage world!
He is a world rule unto himself.
"The power of the ninth stage... My first incarnation in the Mortal Realm, Tear Mole God, has finally stepped into this rank... and immediately reached 100% of the ninth stage's path, essentially, the so-called Great Perfection of the ninth stage!"
It was literally like soaring into the heavens.
Much easier than I had imagined.
He took a deep breath.
After familiarizing himself with the "Red Moon World Core" rule before his eyes, he found integrating into the entire core... to be as natural as a fish in water.
Integrating 1% and integrating 100% showed no increase in difficulty.
"It seems, the difficulty of cultivating in this realm lies in obtaining the Rule Core of the Celestial Dao..."
"Of course, this is also related to my cultivation aptitude, having been promoted to 'Celestial Dao Level' aptitude."
After all, he had the authority of the Creator God, always possessing the world's ultimate highest aptitude.
Previously, the world's limit was the "Pseudo-Heavenly Dao Level" aptitude, but now with the opening of the Primordial World, the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds forming, the world's upper limit has risen, naturally becoming the "Celestial Dao Level" aptitude.
His aptitude had indeed been enhanced dramatically against all odds, and he knew clearly that his leap was due to having a complete "Celestial Dao Core."
Even in the entire Primordial World, at this time... it was almost impossible to find such wild complete core treasures; those were treasures of the Rule Celestial Dao that only appeared in ancient times.
Now, do you want to wantonly destroy All Living Beings of a small regional world, annihilate the world, and seize a complete core?
Don't make me laugh!
In an instant, you'd be left with nowhere to bury your body!
This post-Primordial age doesn't allow the hunting of Celestial Dao, the destruction of a city, a kingdom, the massacre of All Living Beings...
Yes.
In simple terms:
Officials can set fires, but commoners cannot light lamps!
The ancient existences of our Primordial Era had nearly taken everything in the early ancient period, each claiming their own mountain as kings, thus no need for future generations to take, henceforth everyone advocated for a spirit of peace, not allowing the destruction of worlds and committing such unconscionable acts!
In today's age.
Even if you're breaking the norm, as a ninth-stage without background, you can only obtain fragments of the Celestial Dao through imperial examinations, and most are only at the lowest 1% or so, to provide more ninth-stage existences to manage the vast All Heavens World.
Only those with ancient backgrounds, like the great clans of the Great Tang Dynasty, Noble Families, Seven Sects and Five Clans, have a legacy of a "World Core" from generation to generation, becoming complete ninth stages.
If your family hasn't passed down a complete "Celestial Dao Core," you'll almost never stand at the top in your lifetime!
This is the bloody reality!
"But my recent entry into the Great Perfection of the ninth stage seems to be just the beginning," Zhu Zhengwei pondered internally, "It's said that Sun Wukong was born as a Great Perfection of the ninth stage..."
"Sun Wukong, born from the Five-Colored Divine Stone, was initially a very strong ancient World Rule Core... after countless evolutions and tempering of sun and moon essence, transformed into a powerful being."
Calling it... innately sacred is not an exaggeration.
Although he considered that his Red Moon Data Core, the strength of this Celestial Dao, would not be weaker than Sun Wukong... but he himself had just "born."
"That is to say, my current level is about the same as the newborn Sun Wukong."
He fell into deep thought.
And at this level, it was said that the key military generals of Great Tang, several National Guardian Generals, strategists... Wei Zheng, Qin Shubao, Cheng Yaojin, this group of people.
At most, I am only comparable to them...
"Wrong! Not comparable, I absolutely can't beat them."
Zhu Zhengwei pondered quietly.
"Everyone has a complete core... but in terms of combat experience, not even in the same league."
"Moreover, those big shots mostly have handy weapons, a great blade with 25% rule, a treasured sword with 17% rule... armed to the teeth."
"Though they might not get another complete Rule Core, assembling a Rule Weapon with some fragments wouldn't be too difficult!"
Zhu Zhengwei incessantly weighed and contemplated:
This means, the underlying strength of Divine Weapons will be a massive impression of power in the Primordial World!
Whoever is richer, more financially well-off, and more terrifyingly deep-seated.
Will be more ferocious...
And extrapolating upwards in this manner, various primordial treasures, Donghuang Bell, Immortal Slaying Gourd, Tai Chi Diagram... these are fearfully more supreme Divine Weapons!
Before him, advanced worlds like the Celestial Court haven't fully formed yet, still slowly incubating, Zhu Zhengwei had already envisioned some of their structures.
Huff huff huff!
He took a deep breath, beginning to self-reflect, "The ninth stage is just a threshold... can't get carried away, I'm currently just an impoverished guy with nothing."
However, he now understood clearly.
The "Celestial Dao Core" of a world's Celestial Dao is the most important innate treasure of the entire universe, bar none....
He needed to crush and topple the Dark World, and indeed needed to steal one "Celestial Dao Core" after another to strengthen himself, and at the same time weaken the enemy.
Zhu Zhengwei expressed to himself secretly, "Now that I have become a ninth stage, what should I do?"
Return to Wuzhuang Temple and inherit a legacy?
He entertained a bold thought.
Seems feasible...
Zhu Zhengwei calculated the time, "Hmm, with the imperial examinations, coupled with various trivial matters before me, it's been a hundred years or so... perhaps, Tang Sanzang and company haven't had time to reach Wuzhuang Temple yet?"
He thought it over and found it feasible.
The daring heart in him wanted to execute a crafty plan.
Before Sun Wukong's group arrives, make a trip back to Wuzhuang Temple.
Under the excuse of having temporarily forgotten something, return to plunder the various treasures inside, flee afterward... then leave the two stay-at-home children Qingfeng and Bright Moon to entertain Sun Wukong's group, letting them get beaten up to delay time....follow the plot line.
"Feasible indeed."
"According to the story, Sun Wukong and company knocked over the Ginseng Fruit Tree, those two got beaten up, felt greatly guilty, and continued on their journey.... wouldn't they take hundreds of years to leave the Wuzhuang Temple area and reach the next checkpoint, the Three Battles with the White Bone Spirit, carrying Tang Monk for hundreds more years?"
Hundreds of years... I could completely steal the legacy, and become stronger within these hundreds of years...
"By then, I might have grown much stronger, perhaps I could follow the storyline, catch up with them to give a severe beating, drag them back to Wuzhuang Temple..."
"There's a chance!"
Having made up his mind, feeling that he could perform this stunning operation, robbing Wuzhuang Temple.
He acted decisively, having previously inquired about Wuzhuang Temple's location in the Mortal Realm, as a ninth-stage existence, he immediately rushed to the legendary Wuzhuang Temple area.
Whoa.
A landscape of beautiful mountains and clear waters, bird songs and fragrant flowers.
This is the world of Longevity Mountain, precisely Zhenyuanzi's dojo.
Zhu Zhengwei felt as though he had faintly pierced through some kind of restriction, a sense of kinship was transmitted, "Sure enough, there's a restriction here, a dojo of such existence isn't for ordinary people to enter... Tang Monk and company were allowed entry due to permission."
Zhu Zhengwei walked continuously, taking in the sight of this small world, thinking this was his future dojo and kingdom.
"Master, master! You've returned!"
Beside him, a little tree spoke in a joyful voice, a voice filled with joy, "It's been only a mere two thousand years, you used to only return from Primordial Venerable Lord's dojo after several thousand years..."
Zhu Zhengwei hesitated internally.
This little tree was exuding an intimidating aura, even the gate-watching spirit was a ninth stage, though seemingly not 100% Great Perfection, its combat power could instantly crush him...
He pretended to answer calmly, "Yes, it occurred to me that there were some important matters, so I separated a transformation to temporarily return this time..."
The guarding little tree seemed unsurprised.
Evidently, this ninth-stage incarnation before him wasn't being doubted, instead, it expressed happiness, "Master, master, before you left last time, you instructed us to entertain Tang Monk and his party, journeying West to retrieve scriptures, they have already ascended the mountain..."
Zhu Zhengwei: "...."
They've already ascended the mountain?
He looked distantly at that mist-covered Daoist temple on the mountain.
Their speed was so fast, it seemed that his plan to temporarily empty out the foundation had fallen through.
If he went up at this time, there was no way to escape...
"Trouble, I'm still late, have to let Qingfeng and Bright Moon endure, get beaten up by Sun Wukong to hold out for a while, then delay a bit more," Zhu Zhengwei mused internally.
He coughed twice, immediately saying to Little Tree, "I came back, not to see them... but to instruct Qingfeng and Bright Moon to entertain the guests well, to ensure their extended stay in the temple..."
Little Tree appeared somewhat confused.
Before it could react, it saw its master, Zhenyuanzi, turning to leave.
