Since Daoist Lord Yu Chen's incarnations could encompass everything, such as Lingbao Tianzun and Tongtian Demon Lord, there's no need to mention them; He could even incarnate as flowers and plants, mountains and stones.
Xuanqing could understand this.
The premise of teaching without discrimination is becoming all categories, understanding all categories, and then transcending all categories.
"Let's continue our journey."
The Three Pure Ones continued their journey in the Space-Time River, leaving only a small boat drifting in the river.
Little Pine clutched a pine cone, sitting at the boat's bow, gazing at their retreating figures—those three Heavenly Venerates, and the Infinite Dao.
"Sigh, should I follow them?"
Little Pine sighed, then began to play with his pine cone.
One by one, pine nuts were peeled off, and Little Pine silently chanted, "Go, don't go, go, don't go..."
At this moment, in the boundless Space-Time River Mother, gods from various timelines were tracing upstream.
Infinite Dao, many comrades traveling together.
Tayi and Di Jun traveled together, Fu Xi and Nuwa traveled together, Jieyin and Zhun Ti traveled together.
There were also True Dragons from the East Sea grouped together, Phoenixes from Tian Nan in flocks, Witch Gods from the Great Wilderness in teams...
"The Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is not idle talk, the Five Qi Chaoyuan is not mere words!"
"Hong Jun, Yang Mei, let's go!"
In the White Jade City, two elders of Immortal Dao embarked on their journey, Yin Yang Daoist ascended with the Tai Chi Diagram, and Dian Dao Daoist's mountain-shaped hourglass kept overturning in his hand.
In the North Sea, Zhenwu bid farewell to his neighbor.
"Daoist Xuan Turtle, I'm leaving!"
Zhenwu stepped towards the heavens, a tune of the Dao song "Rootless Tree" echoed through the sky.
"Rootless tree, flowers aplenty, when in full bloom obstruct the river. Hard to pick, what a pity, every step leads to the Dragon and Tiger Nest.
Picking yellow flowers to return to the cave, the Three Thousand Great Dao never fades. Laughing freely, white clouds ah, preparing to ascend Da Luo!"
Xuan Turtle gazed at the heavenly vault, blessing, "Bless Daoist with proper axe guidance, and safe return!"
He had just judged an augury.
Fortune!
In All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, many deities were also journeying forward on their paths of the Great Dao.
Though they headed to the same era, their paths were different.
So, it's unknown how lively it would be during this Heaven Creation.
It's even more unknown that the Three Pure Ones were at the forefront.
Of course, there were three exceptions in the Da Luo Supremes.
In the Supreme Demon Realm, Luo Hou sat on the Demon Ancestor's throne, contemplating, "This Heaven Creation seems quite lively."
In the White Jade City, Yang Mei looked to the side at Hong Jun.
"Daoist, should we..."
~~~~
A phrase was circulating in All Heavens: Ancient might not be strong, but strong must be ancient.
Are the Innate Divine Beings born from the Creation of Heaven and Earth era ancient?
After endless ages, they are indeed ancient.
Yet, if after endless ages, they still haven't reached Taiyi Level or become the Da Luo encompassing all existence, they can't be considered truly strong.
If Acquired beings rebel against Innate, relying on their Great Power to trace the Space-Time River upstream, and travel to more ancient ages, even reaching the Chaos Era to obtain Pangu's axe guidance, they can also become ancient gods.
Walking at the forefront of this era, the Three Pure Ones are currently stepping towards the most ancient era.
Different from the Enlightenment scenes in the Dao Realm and different from the era projections they encountered before.
Now they are truly moving towards the origin of everything.
When the torrents of myriad Daos are treaded upon, when the miraculous light of Heaven Creation glows in front of their eyes, and when they see an ever-enduring figure, it means the gate to the Chaos Era is opening for them.
As Xuanqing gradually approached that era and that eternal supreme figure, his Dao Fruit continued to evolve.
"Rebelling against Innate, the principle of Taiwu, my path grows clearer."
In Xuanqing's view, journeying to the Heaven Creation era, returning from the myriad to one, and finally facing Pangu True Master to accept axe guidance, is also a process of rebellion.
The principle of Innate Five Greats consists of God, Qi, Shape, Substance, and Body. (Note 1)
Taixi, the beginning of God, represents the boundless void state of the universe.
Taichu, the beginning of Qi, shapeless and substanceless, only the Innate Qi exists.
Taishi, the beginning of Shape, shapeless and substanceless, invisible to sensory perception, the state of the universe before the Creation of Heaven and Earth.
Taixu, the beginning of Substance, the state of primordial matter in the universe.
Taiji, the beginning of Body, the moment before the separation of Yin and Yang, the initial point of all things, where the Dao exists.
Stepping into Da Luo, accepting axe guidance, is encompassing all existence, ruling over all Daos, and achieving the eternal and indestructible perfection of the "body."
While continuously verifying his path, Xuanqing also pondered another question, "Is rebelling against Innate the way to Chaos Era, and entering Heaven Creation era to accept Pangu's axe guidance, also a part of rebellion?"
The axe strike Pangu made, was it merely a test of the Great Dao for later comers, to achieve perfect "body"?
Is there a possibility that as Pangu swings his axe, he's also helping you with reduction to emptiness, prompting you to seek the path of profound rebellion?
For example, Xuanqing's principle of rebelling Taiwu.
He made progress in refining the Yuxu Sky-opening Axe, breaking through the Dao of the instrument, he encountered the power of axe guidance, thus he grasped the deep principle of Da Luo, smoothly becoming Taixu Da Luo.
And the earliest three giants to enter this era—Luo Hou, Hong Jun, Yang Mei.
They have also stepped into the second stage, possessing the substance of Taixu.
"Only Pangu can answer this question."
With this question, Xuanqing crossed the initial point.
Finally, they saw the era filled with the radiant light of the axe.
Within the endless brilliance, the divine beasts at the feet of the Three Pure Ones transcended instantly.
Only Xuanqing, Taishang, and Yu Chen, who truly accepted axe guidance, saw that supreme existence.
He is the source of infinite Daos, the ruler of the Space-Time River, the terminator of Chaos Demon Gods, the mourner of the Chaos Era, the founder of the Primordial True Realm, the eternal within eternity, the indestructible within immortality, the transcendent of all and yet rectifier of all—the ultimate mighty god, Pangu True Master!
"Pangu, we are here!"
Gazing at the giant that opened the heavens and the earth, the Three Pure Ones shouted with excitement.
They wanted to accept axe guidance!
Come on!
Rumble!!
The great axe swung, with no front or back, no top or bottom.
In the chaos, lights and shadows shifted, the three streaks of light belonging to Luo Hou, Yang Mei, and Hong Jun opened their eyes.
Even the primordial Qilin who accepted axe guidance.
They returned to Heaven Creation, incarnated as demon gods, hiding in the corner, first fixing their gazes on Pangu, and then on the Three Pure Ones accepting axe guidance.
Such a gaze, once cast inadvertently, shocked the four Da Luo Supremes.
"What's going on!" Luo Hou was astonished.
"No, this is possible!" Hong Jun widened his eyes.
Yang Mei's mouth twitched: "No, it wasn't like this when we were here!"
Primordial Qilin stammered, "This, this, this..."
Only to see that the ray of light from Pangu's axe didn't strike the Three Pure Ones, but lightly swung, very casually chopping towards even older ages, seemingly pointing the way for the Three Pure Ones.
Whirr~~
Involuntarily, the Three Pure Ones continued forward.
Xuanqing was taken aback, Taishang was dumbfounded, Yu Chen was bewildered.
"Uh? Isn't this Heaven Creation?"
"Great God, we need axe guidance!"
"You really should axe us!"
"No..."
At the last moment, the Three Pure Ones exchanged glances with Pangu, seemingly seeing a hint of smile in his eyes.
Was it appreciation, or disdain?
Whoosh!
They hadn't figured out the true meaning yet, transformed into light, and departed swiftly.
Passing by Pangu closely.
I see Pangu, but Pangu doesn't want to see me?
Xuanqing was taken aback, Taishang was dumbfounded, Yu Chen was bewildered.
