"Dare I ask the Great Emperor, does the path of the Ghost Immortal also possess the ultimate method of attaining enlightenment?"
A voice of doubt echoed within the Nine-layered Heavenly Palace.
"Of course it does!"
Ming River admitted straightforwardly without thinking.
"Can it prove Pangu?" The Immortals looked eagerly.
"It can prove!"
Ming River responded decisively, after all, He is only responsible for selling the idea, the execution is left for Xuanqing.
Meng Wuyou, with a smile, said: "The path of the Ghost Immortal is the way from death to life, capable of returning from annihilation."
"In the Chaos Era, though the Three Thousand Demons ultimately perished, they too can return to this world."
"Thus, the returning Chaos Demon Gods, aren't they also Ghost Immortals?"
Halfway through Meng Wuyou's statement, Qiankun, Yin Yang, and Dian Dao all looked at her simultaneously.
We suspect there's a subtext in your words, are you implying something about us?
Hong Jun and Yang Mei, however, remained calm.
The Three Thousand Demons of the Chaos Era? What does that have to do with us?
We are the Innate Divine Beings of the Pangu Epoch.
"Since the Chaos Demon Gods can return from annihilation, have you ever thought—when Pangu God transformed into the Primordial, embracing all beings, after His death, will He return? How would He return?"
Hmm???
Is that even a discussable matter?
Upon Meng Wuyou's remark, all the Taiyi Gods became restless.
They all looked at Meng Wuyou, their eyes signaling: Daoist, if you want to face the axe, we do not!
While Jing Yao Venerable and Daoist Lord Yu Chen turned their gaze to Xuanqing.
Only to see Xuanqing also pretending to be shocked.
"Drama kings!" Jing Yao and Yu Chen commented tacitly.
"Of course, our main discussion today is not this issue, but the Ghost Immortal Dao."
Meng Wuyou slightly smiled, patching up her own topic.
She said, "I think, as Pan Gu Real Person created the world and chose to annihilate the Three Thousand, annihilating Himself, and transforming into the Primordial True Realm, creating beings, this is also Pangu's Great Transcendence."
"And my Ghost Immortal Dao, emerging from death to life, proving the ultimate fruit of worlds, is emulating the Pangu Dao."
"One day, cultivators of the Ghost Immortal can in the endless annihilation and the reincarnation of life and death, capture a sliver of possibility, regather the soul of Pangu, and transform into Pan Gu Real Person!"
"In this way, how is it not considered as Pangu God returning from annihilation?"
Oh dear, you really made that argument work?
Even Ming River by Wuyou's side sweated for her inwardly.
In just a few sentences, the hearts of the Taiyi Gods were flipped and flopped.
After hearing Meng Wuyou's words, everyone's look at her changed.
Why?
Because theoretically, this hypothesis is possible.
The path of the Ghost Immortal indeed closely resembles Pangu God's final act of Dao transformation through Heaven Creation.
Such an apt correspondence to the Dao, if the Ghost Immortal truly can prove the ultimate fruit of worlds, then perhaps...
Ahem, must not think further, any more would turn into a ghost story.
The Gods quickly extinguished the thought within their hearts.
Some things shouldn't be pondered excessively; thinking too much, dwelling on it too much can lead to unpredictable outcomes.
Hong Jun looked at the founders of the Cycle Five Immortals with great satisfaction.
Pangu is a Heavenly Immortal, an Earth Immortal, and can also be a Human Immortal, Divine Immortal, Ghost Immortal.
Pangu himself does not even know that he has been defined this way.
As everyone was still stunned by the characteristics of Ghost Immortals, Ming River suddenly told everyone another ghost story.
"The Ghost Immortal Dao, transcends in the Yin, thus the living find it hard to truly cultivate this path."
"If you wish to cultivate the Ghost Immortal Dao, everyone must die once, becoming a ghost of the Yin World."
Ah?
Must die once?
The Immortals remained calm, but those other cultivators were truly startled.
Who in their right mind wants to die!
"Can't one become a Ghost Immortal without dying?" The thoughts of cultivators not yet transcedent were uneasy.
Just now, while consuming big ideas, anticipating a bright future, they overlooked that this seems to be a path of the Underworld.
Now back to reality, they felt somewhat worried.
Ming River looked at the frightened cultivators, corner of His mouth slightly curled, face smiling, "Don't worry, death is not scary."
"Between life and death there is great terror, but also great opportunities, great Creation."
"For a Ghost Immortal, death is merely the beginning of the Dao."
"A living being dies and becomes a ghost, ghost to death become Jiàn, Jiàn dies to become Xi, Xi dies to become Yi, Yi dies to become Wei, Wei dies formlessly." (Jiàn: jiàn)
"This is a necessary path of Dao proving for a Ghost Immortal."
Ming River earnestly said, "Thus, my earlier mention of 'emerging from death to life' is not mere words. Cultivators must experience cycles of life and death."
"If one cannot penetrate the True Meaning of Life and Death, how can the Ghost Immortals control Fate, how to prove the ultimate fruits of worlds?"
"Moreover, dying repeatedly, makes one accustomed to it." Ming River spoke earnestly, in a tone of someone who had been through it.
It's somewhat reminiscent of the sensation, "Death is like the wind, always by my side."
"As cultivators, you are meant to live long and see much. Do know that Immortals live for astonishingly long durations, and one day you will grow tired of living."
"When that time comes, even without external calamities, you will look for ways to die."
"Either by cultivating some texts unique to the Underworld, or by drawing your sword to end your own life, or by going out in search of death, you will always find a suitable way to die."
But we are not yet Transcendents, dying once and that's it... Although the majority of cultivators aspire to tread the Ghost Immortal Dao, their hearts naturally harbor some resistance towards death.
After Ming River explained the fundamental conditions of the Ghost Immortal, Meng Wuyou came forward to further supplement.
"Of course, it's not to say that everyone in the Yang Realm cannot cultivate the methods of the Ghost Immortal."
"Actually, not only can it be cultivated during one's life, but it also prepares one for posthumous Immortality."
"For example, cultivators of the Ghost Immortal path can walk between the Yin Yang Two Realms during their lifetime, maintaining the balance of Yin Yang order. Such cultivators will accumulate a great amount of Yin virtue, which can predestine their names in the Yin World. Upon their death, they can directly transition into the Ghost Immortal Path and instantly achieve transcendence."
