Taisha Heavenly Palace.
The moment the Jade Void Sky-opening Axe appeared, the emotions of True Master Yu Ding and Yun Zhongzi could no longer be described as shocked.
Moreover, the Heavenly Creation Axe was only the beginning.
They witnessed their own master transforming into the Primordial Heavenly King, wielding the Heavenly Creation Axe, correcting the Divine Beings across the vast expanse of space-time.
The two disciples exhausted their vocabulary and still could not describe the scene before their eyes.
"Goodness, the Pangu God!" True Master Yu Ding ultimately resorted to a common exclamation used in the Primordial era.
He was overwhelmed with excitement: "Daoist Yun Zhongzi, did you see that?"
"The axe of Pangu has truly emerged!"
"Correcting for all eternity, is this the Primordial Heavenly King?"
"Without sect and supreme, alone capable of being the beginning of all things, hence named Primordial; encompassing Dao in all respects as the most revered, always dwelling in the Second Clarity, above All Heavens, thus called Heavenly Venerate."
"Our master is the Primordial Heavenly Venerate, can also be the Primordial Heavenly Demon, and can also be the Primordial Heaven King!" True Master Yu Ding's eyes sparkled as he clenched his sleeves and spoke excitedly:
"The path of all Primordial Gods is towards Pangu."
"Our master's path is also heading towards Pangu, and right now it appears that our master has taken a firm step forward on this path."
True Master Yu Ding looked at Yun Zhongzi: "Daoist, do you think our master can one day realize the Dao of Pangu?"
Yun Zhongzi, gazing at the giant figure in the Space-Time River, felt their master grow taller the more he looked up and firmer the more he delved, sometimes before him and at times suddenly behind.
Without a second thought, he nodded: "Yes."
"Definitely yes!"
"If our master cannot realize the Dao of Pangu, then who can?"
"I also think it's possible." True Master Yu Ding laughed: "So now I have an idea."
"What idea?" Yun Zhongzi asked curiously.
"Realize the Dao of Primordial!"
True Master Yu Ding looked forward with longing at the silhouette of Xuanqing, "Throughout the inner and outer Primordial, within the Wuliang Heavens, every Divine Being wants to realize the Dao of Pangu."
"Since Pangu can realize it, can Primordial also?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi was struck with realization.
He thought: "Indeed, Pan Gu Real Person ended the Chaos Era, created the Primordial True Realm, the origin of All Heavens, the beginning of everything, a synonym for eternal supremacy."
"If so, if one day our master transcends everything and achieves the state of Pangu."
"At that time, Primordial is Pangu, and Pangu is Primordial."
As he pondered, Yun Zhongzi's eyes shone brighter: "Pangu is the origin of all, Primordial the cause of all outcomes; Pangu is the root of all things, Primordial the ancestor of all Dao."
"Pangu is infinite, Primordial boundless; Pangu is immortal, Primordial eternal."
"If Pan Gu Real Person can realize it, why can't the Primordial Heavenly King?!"
"True Master Yu Ding, what great talent you have!" Yun Zhongzi's eyes blazed as he looked at True Master Yu Ding.
"As long as our master can realize Pangu, then if we realize Primordial, it's as if we've realized Pangu."
True Master Yu Ding smiled slightly: "Moreover, compared to the intangible Pangu, the tangible Primordial feels more intimate."
"The Dao of Pangu is lofty and elusive; our master's Dao has traces to follow."
"We follow the path our master has walked once more, and when our master becomes Pangu, then the place of Primordial will be ours."
Yun Zhongzi nodded upon hearing this: "It makes sense."
"Our master realizes Pangu, we realize Primordial."
"When our master abdicates, we take his place."
"Exactly." True Master Yu Ding said with a light smile:
"Primordial takes turns; tomorrow it will come to my house!"
"The initial intent in establishing the Chan Sect was to expound our master's thoughts, our master's Great Dao."
"But after we have expounded the thoughts and the Great Dao of our master, what ultimately should we do?"
True Master Yu Ding said to Yun Zhongzi, "I believe that to expound the Dao is to better inherit it. Once we understand the master, the ultimate goal is to become the master, to achieve enlightenment in the Primordial."
"This is indeed the path to heaven for the disciples of Chan Sect!"
"Brother Yu Ding's words are greatly auspicious."
Yun Zhongzi said with a smile, "There is a saying, 'To learn from me is to live, to mimic me is to die.' These words are true. However, when it comes to the path of enlightenment for the Innate Divine Beings, learning and resembling are, in a sense, one and the same."
"To understand one is to understand countless others, to enlighten one is to enlighten countless others."
"In the Primordial True Realm, eternal and supreme, there is no notion of predecessors blocking those who come after."
"All Gods walk the same Dao, and this path will only grow wider; all Gods achieve the same Dao, and everyone will go farther and farther."
"If in the future, all disciples of Chan Sect attain enlightenment in the Primordial, then the Primordial Dao will become the supreme path!"
"Indeed!" True Master Yu Ding laughed heartily.
"By that time, we may well shout: 'Out of the Dao comes the Primordial!'"
"What is this 'Out of the Dao comes the Primordial'?" The voice of Xuanqing suddenly sounded.
After completing the foundational assessment of the Primordial True Realm, Xuanqing returned from the Space-Time River and came back to Taisha Heavenly Palace.
In his hand, he held a divine axe, approximately three feet and three inches long, entirely resembling white jade. The body of the axe interweaved with the laws of Three Thousand Great Dao, and the handle was engraved with eighty-one talismans.
"Master, is this the Heavenly Creation Axe?"
True Master Yu Ding stared at the Jade Void Sky-opening Axe, his eyes shining with brilliance.
This is the ultimate achievement in the Path of Artifact Refining!
Today, True Master Yu Ding witnessed the demonstration of the Path of Artifact Refining by Xuanqing and was deeply attracted to this Dao.
He silently resolved in his heart: To achieve enlightenment in Primordial, starting with Artifact Refining!
Yun Zhongzi's thoughts mirrored those of True Master Yu Ding.
He contemplated, "Master was able to replicate the Heavenly Creation Axe, could I possibly replicate it as well?"
The Heavenly Creation Axe, belonging to such a high tier of Spiritual Treasures, was too advanced for Yun Zhongzi, who decided to aim for a more modest version.
"Perhaps, I should start with crafting a Mountain-opening Axe," Yun Zhongzi thought to himself.
"This is the Jade Void Sky-opening Axe, modeled after Pangu's Heavenly Creation Axe," Xuanqing explained with a smile. "According to the classification of Artifact Refining in the Chan Sect Secret Talisman, this object was created by me and falls within the category of a post-Innate treasure."
"Of course, if we want to turn it into Innate, it's actually not difficult, I just need to make a trip to the Chaos Era myself."
"When I claim it's an Innate Treasure, who could possibly object?"
"Master's words are profoundly true!" both Yun Zhongzi and True Master Yu Ding nodded in approval.
They cultivated the heavenly will of the Chan Sect.
What I say it is, it is.
What I say it isn't, it also is.
"By the way, what were you two discussing just now?"
Xuanqing asked with a smile, "What is this 'Out of the Dao comes the Primordial'?"
"Well," True Master Yu Ding chuckled and said, "That was what Yun Zhongzi and I aspired to for the future just now."
Yun Zhongzi added, "We were thinking this, Master: you attain enlightenment in the Pangu Dao, while we pursue the Primordial Dao."
The two disciples then explained in detail to Xuanqing, the Primordial Heavenly Venerate, the concept of achieving enlightenment in the Primordial.
When he heard, "It's Primordial's turn today, tomorrow it will be ours," not only was Xuanqing not angry, but he laughed heartily instead.
"Well said 'To achieve enlightenment in Primordial,' well said 'Out of the Dao comes the Primordial'!"
He looked at Yu Ding and Yun Zhongzi with a pleased face, "You are truly worthy disciples of Chan Sect."
"You have ideas, and you have ambition!"
