Chapter 533
A flash of ambition crossed Sui Xiang’s eyes.
Yes, becoming a saint in the flesh is just the beginning!
In the Luo Tian Realm, 200,000 years have passed, and the simulation has not even reached the 500th year yet.
The Dao Conference has not yet begun…
In this simulation, Sui Xiang must make a concerted effort to overcome countless eons.
Attain the Dao…and become a saint!
“The last of the ten trials for a sage. Achieving the Dao through strength and becoming a sage… I’m only one step away!”
Su Xing murmured.
On the path of the flesh, Su Xing could already see the future.
His gaze fell on the heavenly primordial spirit tree before him.
As long as this heavenly primordial spirit tree continued to grow, Su Xing’s flesh body would continue to grow as well!
At the moment, this solid heavenly primordial spirit tree was only one-third the size of what it had once been.
It had already given Su Xing an increase in flesh body strength of nearly ten times!
This is far from the end…
“The methods of the Wu Clan are very mysterious… Is there a difference between becoming a saint in the flesh?”
Su Xing mused.
“Then, where is the difference between the saints?”
“Is it mana, or something else?”
Su Xing already had a vague guess in his heart.
…
Leaving the spiritual realm, Su Xing, as a sage, rushed to the central area of the Pangu World.
The summit of the Mountain of No Zhou, the venue of the Grand Conference on the Way!
At the moment, there was still some time before the start of the Dao Conference.
However, the great Luo and sage experts of the Pangu World had already gathered.
The Wu Clan and the Demon Court had also begun to compete for the last pouf and the primordial purple air.
Surging, alone, ascended to the top of Mount Buzhou.
During this time, he did not attract the attention of any of the great Luo Jinyan.
Neither the Ancestral Wushu nor the True Dragon Clan intervened to stop Su Xing, as if they did not see him.
Only the being on top of the nine cushions in front of the statue of the Dao noticed Su Xing.
A look of intense amazement flashed in its eyes.
Obviously, as fellow Saints, they had discovered an additional variable in this Dao Conference.
A Saint who had become a Saint through the flesh!
“It seems that the last trace of the Hongmeng Ziqi is about to have an owner?”
“After attaining physical immortality, can one also prove the Dao and attain immortality?“
”Who says you can’t? It’s just that no one has done it before…”
The saints exchanged glances, and everything was said without words.
Su Xing did not directly seize the cushion, but instead chose a distance not too far from the cushion, sat in meditation in place, and waited quietly.
In this way, several months passed in a flash.
Until one day, changes appeared on the statue in the centre of the conference venue.
After a ray of spirituality descended and the statue flashed, the voice of the Dao appeared at the venue of the Daoism Conference.
“Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two…”
With the appearance of the voice of the Dao and the “manifestation of the Dao”, the final struggle for the last ray of purple aura also began.
Both the Wu Clan and the Demon Court began to compete for the last cushion.
First, they fought each other, and then the Master of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion and the Blood River Ancestor went down to compete.
From beginning to end, Su Xiu sat quietly in his place, as if he had seen through everything.
As in the previous simulation, neither the head of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion nor the Blood River Ancestor was able to gain the recognition of the cushion.
“Look, the cushion is moving on its own…”
At this moment, a Great Luo Golden Immortal let out an exclamation.
Immediately afterwards, more than a thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals at the entire Daoism Conference venue all noticed Su Xiu at the same time.
“Strange, when did there appear an additional cultivator there?”
“This monk looks a bit unfamiliar, doesn’t he?“
”Just what kind of talent does this person have that he has made the primordial purple air recognize him as its master?“
”Hmph, what’s the use of just talent? You need connections to get anywhere in this world…“
”This primordial purple air has long been reserved by those two parties!“
”Hoho, this should be good fun…”
As the primordial purple air recognized its master, a huge commotion broke out at the Daoist Conference venue.
Surging didn’t care, just shifted his butt, and the cushion was automatically sat on by Surging.
Seeing this, both the tribe of witches and the demon court side changed expression drastically!
But the anticipated show didn’t happen!
Because just as the tribe of witches couldn’t hold back any longer and were preparing to make their move, the two tribe of witches’ saints on the cushion in front of them said a few words in silence.
Immediately afterwards, the faces of several ancestral witches changed slightly, and a trace of awe appeared in their eyes as they stopped looking at Surging.
The same thing happened on the Demon Court side.
Ancestor Dragon and Ancestor Phoenix successively transmitted their voices, so that everyone on the Demon Court side dared not say anything and quickly looked away from Awakening.
A great show that was about to erupt was resolved without a sound.
Now that the immortals themselves are competing for this piece of primordial purple air as usual, how can the two major forces stop them?
Even the nine immortals don’t want to offend Awakening!
He wants to become the first being in history to become a saint through both the cultivation of the flesh and the cultivation of the qi!
And they dare not stop him!
To block the way of humanity is like killing one’s parents?
If they intervene to stop him, regardless of whether they succeed or fail, why provoke the anger of a fleshly saint?
…
As for Su Xing, from beginning to end, he never took a single step.
He simply sat on the cushion, contentedly experiencing the cushion’s bonus and a great improvement in his enlightenment.
It was as if everything was as it should be.
The originally surging Dao Conference quieted down…
Including Su Xing, all the cultivators listened quietly to the explanation of the Dao.
“The Dao of strength can be derived into thousands of paths, the Dao of gravity, the Dao of the stars, they are all connected…”
In the center of the venue, the statue continued to preach.
Su Xing also listened quietly, and with the help of the meditation cushion, Su Xing’s understanding of the Dao soared.
The Dao of the stars, the Dao of gravity, the Dao of life, the Dao of blood…
The three thousand paths of the world, countless Dao essences, all roamed around Su Xing, and were quickly comprehended by him.
In this way, in the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed…
Su Xing seemed like a person from the world of Pangu, just quietly listening to the sound of the Dao, and the Dao he comprehended was growing more and more.
…
Soon, a thousand years would be over, and the Dao Conference would finally come to an end.
The sound of the Dao was still being listened to, and all the great Luo Jinyan around, including the nine saints, were still immersed in the Dao.
Only Suixiu, who had awakened early from his enlightenment, had some emotional thoughts in his heart:
“Gee, it’s no wonder it’s the Hongmeng Ziqi!”
“This enhancement of enlightenment is beyond any doubt more than any treasure of enlightenment…”
“Counting it up, I have also successively mastered thousands of Dao, right?”
Suixiu said quietly.
These hundreds of simulations had not been in vain for Suixiu.
In addition to the original Dao, Su Xing has also successively mastered thousands of Dao, but they are all only at the first or second level.
“Although the improvement in understanding is good…”
“But…is this all the power of the Primordial Purple Qi?”
Su Xing sighed, knowing that the illusion of all this was about to end!
As if confirming what Su Xing was thinking, a voice suddenly came from the ear.
“Huh? This young friend…seems a bit familiar!”
“You are clearly participating in the Dao Conference for the first time…but it seems I have seen you many times before!”
It’s here!
Su Xing’s heart stirred, and his expression became excited.
Because the source of this voice was…Dao!
At the same time, a shadow appeared on top of the sculpture.
Its face could not be seen, but it seemed like something that could not be looked directly at.
The entire venue of the Dao Conference, and only Su Xing, was able to see this shadow.
Su Xing fell silent, as if there were countless words in his heart that he wanted to say.
But when the words reached his lips, Su Xing sighed and said:
“Indeed, you have discovered it…”
This short sentence seemed to contain countless pieces of information.
The Daoist phantom above the statue also fell silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh:
“So that’s it, is it time…”
“So I haven’t been in this world for a long time!”
At this moment, Dao finally discovered the truth.
Yes, with the realm of Dao, even if it is just a remnant phantom,
was able to discover the abnormality of this world after all.
And he, even more so, was able to see through time, becoming the first being that Awakening encountered to see through the “simulator”!
Tao’s words: Is it time… It turns out that I have long since been out of this world.
say it all…
Seeing that Tao had finally discovered the truth, Awakening no longer hesitated and said directly:
“Senior, next… You should fulfill your mission!”
After hearing Awakening’s words, the Taoist illusion in front of him once again fell silent.
“Complete my mission?“
Is it to destroy this world and take a look at the outside world?
Of course not!
He has long since completed this mission!
And what is the mission of the Dao?
After being awakened by Su Xing, countless memories flooded back to him, and finally a long, melancholy sigh came from him:
”So, it’s been so long already!“
”The Dao has fifty paths, the heavens have forty-nine, and people escape one of them…“
”So, I’m the one who escapes?”
At this moment, the Dao finally discovered its mission.
And upon waking, it revealed a heartfelt smile.
Is the ethereal figure before it the Dao?
Yes!
Or rather, no…
It is the Dao because the ethereal figure before it is indeed a lingering thought left behind by the Dao.
It was the Dao that, during the Pangu period, countless years ago, used its power to open up the great world of Pangu, and before dying, took one last look at this world!
That glance was filled with the Dao’s reluctance to part with this world and its nostalgia.
And it was this glance that left behind this space-time!
What’s more, it left behind the only source of vitality between heaven and earth!
The last trace of the primordial purple air!
The illusion before him was not entirely the Dao!
Or rather, it was the last trace of the primordial purple air, a product born after combining the Dao’s last thought with the glance.
And its mission was…to complete the heavens and earth, so that between heaven and earth, the last saint could be born!
Long before the dozens of simulations, Awakening had discovered this!
What was contained within the cushion was not the true primordial purple air.
Because there was only a single strand of primordial purple air, its power was not just a simple epiphany…
And the true primordial purple air was the current shadow of the Dao!
It was it that had preserved everything that the Dao had done, everything in that space-time, in this space-time.
Although it was an imperfect copy, it had also left the human race a glimmer of hope!
However, after countless eons and years of playing its part,
this Dao of Primordial Purple Air became so engrossed in its role that it forgot its true identity and thought it was the true Dao!
It forgot its mission…
And the purpose of Awakening is naturally to awaken it!
Otherwise, just the futon in there alone can’t possibly help Awakening into Sagehood!
And now, the Dao’s phantom image before them, or the last wisp of the Primordial Purple Air, has finally realized this.
Therefore, it is time for Awakening to prove the Dao and become holy!
“Yes! All of this is ultimately an illusion… I have been intoxicated by it for far too long…”
“And this time, it will be the last!”
“So, are you ready?”
“There is only one chance! Even if you are time… it is no exception!”
The primordial purple air asked Awakening one last question.
Awakening’s heart trembled upon hearing it.
Of course, Su Xing knew what the Purple Qi of the Primordial Chaos meant.
Yes!
The Purple Qi of the Primordial Chaos is supreme, its status is supreme, and even time can hardly replicate it!
This means that even if Su Xing has a simulator, there is only one chance!
Because once this wisp of the Purple Qi of the Primordial Chaos is used up, among countless spaces and times…the Purple Qi of the Primordial Chaos will disappear…
Su Xing, there is no chance to start over again!
This is also the reason why Su Xing did not try it early and waited until now!
“Yes, there’s only one chance…“
Su Xing murmured, his gaze more determined than ever, and he said to the illusion before him:
”I’ve been ready for a long time!“
”Today is the day I prove the Dao!”
As Su Xing’s voice fell, the purple aura before him had nothing more to say, and it turned into a purple ray, pouring into Su Xing’s body.
At the same time, the sage’s ten tribulations, the final tribulation —
the infinite tribulation!
officially descended!
The ninth heaven, the entire world of Pangu, at this moment the heavens and earth are bowing down!
Countless mysterious energy fluctuations, with Zhou Shan at the center, envelop an endless expanse, its scope so vast that it is comparable to half a great domain.
“Boundless eons…to attain the Dao and become a sage, there is no need to pass the thunder tribulation…”
“As long as, the final shackle is broken?”
As the primordial purple air entered his body, Su Xing felt as if he had an epiphany.
The final layer of fog on the path to sainthood was completely lifted.
In ancient times, if the immortals of heaven and earth wanted to attain enlightenment and become saints,
there were only three ways to do so.
The first was to become a saint through meritorious deeds!
By meritorious deeds, I don’t mean doing good deeds and accumulating good karma to become a saint, otherwise, in ancient times, all the immortals of heaven and earth would have gone off to do good deeds!
By meritorious deeds to become a saint means doing a great meritorious deed that is recognised by heaven and earth and is granted the opportunity to become a saint.
The most famous saint of merit is named Nuwa, who is said to be the mother of the human race.
Since Daoism broke up the world, the way of heaven has been broken, and this method no longer works!
Apart from the saintly merit, there is only the way of proving the way through strength and the saintly merit of cutting off the three corpses.
It is also the most widely tried method by the great men of the later generations.
Strictly speaking, slaying the three corpses is a shortcut to proving the Dao through strength.
What does it mean to slay the three corpses to become a saint?
It means slaying the corpses of good, evil, and the self, as well as the corpses of the past, future, and present!
In essence, slaying one corpse achieves supreme magical power; slaying two corpses achieves the eighth realm of the Dao; slaying all three corpses proves the Dao and achieves sainthood!
Qingyunzi went against the grain and slayed the three corpses, and almost succeeded.
During his prime, Qingyunzi possessed the magical powers and laws of a sage, but not the character of a sage.
However, after being possessed by a demon and devoured by the evil corpse, he was left with only half the cultivation of a sage, which technically still belonged to the Da Luo level…
The path chosen by Awakening is the most difficult, but also the most righteous, to become a sage!
The reason for this is that proving the way through strength is actually breaking the shackles of the world and the Dao!
Once one has become a sage, one will transcend heaven and earth, and the mana, Dao, and laws one has obtained will all belong to oneself, unrestricted by anything.
It is also the path to becoming a sage with the highest limit!
Therefore, the ten calamities of a sage are the most difficult…
At this moment, Su Xing has already overcome nine calamities, and only the last, innumerable calamities remain.
“So, this innumerable calamity…what the hell is it?”
Su Xing still felt a heavy burden in his heart.
The purple aura of the primeval chaos, a ray of light in countless eons of time…
There is only one chance, and only one chance!
And when the infinite eons truly came upon Su Xing,
Su Xing also knew what it was!
Su Xing sat cross-legged at the top of Mount Zhou.
First, a ray of wind blew past, and then Su Xing felt an immense pressure.
This pressure first felt like a light rain, making people uncomfortable.
Then it poured down like a storm, making people unable to avoid it…
Eventually, the heavens and earth toppled, as if fighting against the entire world!
Yes!
Fighting against the entire world!
Su Xing finally understood what it meant to fight against the entire world!
This was, to fight against the entire world with one’s own strength!
To fight against a world will that has a complete heavenly path.
And in the process of fighting against the entire world,
the suffering brought about by the first nine calamities of the sage’s ten calamities will sweep through Su Xing’s body several times, ten times its strength!
With this pain as a blessing, Su Xing’s strength was awakened, and it was difficult for him to exert even 50% of it…
Su Xing, who was meditating with his eyes closed, frowned slightly and felt something in his heart.
He looked up at the sky, and muttered:
“So that’s it, is this the infinite eons of suffering?”
“With the strength of one person, against the complete heavenly path and the world…and ultimately breaking free from the shackles and achieving one’s own greatness, and ultimately…proving the Dao through strength!”
“No wonder the approach of proving the way through strength no longer works in later generations… they say the opportunity for sages to prove the way through strength has disappeared!“
Su Xing shook his head and let out a light sigh.
This fundamental problem arises because after the Dao breaks the heavens and earth, there is no complete Dao in the world!
If the world is not complete, how can you prove the Dao through strength?
”There is only one chance to try, in this ninth heaven… before the Dao breaks the heavens and earth!“
”There is only one chance… there were people in ancient times who proved the Dao through strength!”
“They succeeded, so why can’t I?”
At that moment, a blazing fire seemed to flash in Su Xing’s eyes, and supreme faith welled up in his heart!
Using his own strength to fight against the entire, complete Pangu world!
This feeling was far greater than any tribulation Su Xing had experienced before…
Most obviously, there seemed to be endless pressure from all directions between heaven and earth, trying to bend Su Xing’s spine.
The will of the entire Pangu World seemed to be saying one word: kneel!
However, Su Xing was unyielding!
At any other time, Su Xing could have chosen to give in.
But not this time!
Because there was only one chance…
If Su Xing failed, he would never have any more to do with the realm of the saints!
So, Su Xing looked up at the sky, and slowly stood up from his original position of sitting cross-legged.
He stood alone at the top of the Zhou Mountain, his gaze fixed on the endless nine heavens.
Suhui was looking at the world’s Dao!
In a silent language, Suhui was telling the Dao of his determination to attain enlightenment and become a sage!
Rumbling!
Just as Suhui was fighting against the heavens and the earth with his own strength,
a thunderclap startled the ground!
This was a clear sky thunder, as if venting the Dao’s dissatisfaction.
He is the Dao, the supreme will of the world!
No creature between heaven and earth can resist or look him in the eye, let alone dominate him!
Listening to the thunder roaring around him, and the anger of heaven and earth, Su Xing’s mouth curled up, and he burst out laughing.
He finally knew why the Dao wanted to break this world!
Because heaven and earth are merciless, treating all living things like straw dogs!
Heaven and earth have never looked at any creature in the world seriously…
So the Dao is dissatisfied and wants to break it all!
