Explore the genres of Xianxia novels; there's bound to be one that suits you.
At dawn, the sun rises as usual, shining upon all living things.
Mount Buzhou is as high as the sky, but its summit is barren and devoid of vegetation, while its base is lush and verdant – two extremes.
Kunpeng ascended to the mountain peak to watch the sunrise, and took the opportunity to mock the Black Heaven True Saint, the weakest of the True Saints, who had one foot tumbled off the Heavenly Dao.
Although the construction of the Heavenly Dao by the Nine Heavens damages the innate divine Dao, the innate deities still believe in the Nine Heavens, and the fortune and creation of the innate divine Dao are still enjoyed by the Nine Heavens.
Now that Ragnarok has broken out, the divine paths of the Eastern Wilderness, Southern Wilderness, and Western Wilderness have reached their limit of decline.
The Heavenly Dao was nourished and elevated, but the Nine Heavens' figure began to sway, and the weakest Heavenly Dao True Saint was destined to fall.
When did it fall, and where did it fall to?
Kunpeng was also pondering, as all the primordial powerhouses had racked their brains for a long time, believing that falling into the primordial world allowed for soul-searching.
Once they fall into chaos, the progenitor will have no chance to gain the experience of a true saint of the Heavenly Dao, and there will be more unexpected challenges in their ascent above the Heavenly Dao.
"Ants, unless you become true saints of the Heavenly Dao, you will never know how high the sky is."
Kunpeng, with his hands behind his back, looked almost directly at the True Saint and said, "You actually responded. It seems you are truly weak and exhausted. I thought you were still arrogant and ignored the influence of all words!"
Black Heaven True Saint's eyes flashed, and he cursed almost prophetically: "Demon Master Kunpeng, you will surely be alone, without companions, without relatives, and fall into despair after countless eons."
Mount Buzhou is as high as the sky, the sea of clouds only reaches halfway up the mountain, and the sun, moon and stars adorn the mountaintop.
The three supreme stars, namely the Sun, the Moon, and the Purple Star, shine brightly together.
The stars twinkled, the primordial Milky Way was incredibly beautiful, and the upper part of Buzhou Mountain was also part of the starry sky.
Kunpeng felt bored and even too lazy to laugh at Heitian's breach in defenses.
Even the Nine Heavens True Saint has weaknesses; he is ultimately not the Great God Pangu, and his former lofty and aloof demeanor is gone.
Kunpeng joked, "The Heavenly Dao is indeed wonderful. You fear losing your authority over the Heavenly Dao and yearn to remain in the position of True Saint forever. Heitian, you are disappointing now; your Dao heart is not strong enough."
"Hmph, what do you know? You will never understand the feeling of being above the Heavenly Dao. The primordial world nourishes the Heavenly Dao beneath my feet, I am invincible in the chaos, I am not Pangu but I am better than Pangu."
"Heh, what need does the Great God Pangu have for the support of the Heavenly Dao? Even the structure of the Heavenly Dao relies on the legacy of Pangu, yet you dare to claim to be on par with him?"
Hei Tian remained silent, no longer paying attention to the Kunpeng Demon Master.
The Tai Chi diagram explains the state of the Black Heaven True Saint, who has begun to assimilate with the Heavenly Dao, and whose mind and reason are negatively affected by the Heavenly Dao.
The innate divine path served as an anchor point, but now that the anchor point's effect has weakened, the Nine Heavens must directly confront the backlash from the Heavenly Dao.
The divine nature of Pangu and the demonic nature of the Chaos God—two extreme forces eroding one's true nature.
The Chaos Bell resounded, and the Primordial Treasure sighed, "The Nine Heavens have ultimately miscalculated. Chaos is far more dangerous than anticipated, and they are unwilling to deviate from the Heavenly Dao to explore it further."
Pangu Banner sneered, "In the primordial world, they insisted on leaving and entering the chaos. Now that they've suffered setbacks in the chaos, they want to come back and act arrogantly. Their arrogance before and their obsequiousness afterward is truly laughable!"
The Taiji Diagram predicts: "The Nine Heavens True Saints intend to rely on the Primordial World and the Heavenly Dao to explore Chaos, but we disagree, so they will fall from the Heavenly Dao."
Kunpeng did not continue the discussion. He once again paid attention to the Heavenly Dao and became even more wary after studying it.
Pangu's divinity and the Chaos Demon God's demonic nature are two of the most essential powers, and now there is another one!
The inherent power of all living things in the primordial world converges, and the Way of Heaven accepts faith and all influences.
Sincere good intentions and hypocritical evil intentions accumulate in the Way of Heaven.
Calamity is destiny, contradiction, and the most fundamental collision of all living things.
The sheep longed for the wolves to die, so some wolves died.
The wolf wanted to eat the sheep, so some sheep were eaten.
Flowers and plants curse vegetarians, vegetarians curse meat-eaters, and the earth curses flowers, plants, and trees...
Kunpeng pondered the Dao of Heaven, and after a long time, sighed, "What a tragedy! What a tragedy! The Dao of Heaven is merciless!"
suddenly
The sky cracked open, and Hongjun fell in a sorry state from the Heavenly Dao. He was being chased by the Ancestor and had no choice but to flee to the Heavenly Dao.
The Taoist crown crumbled, the hair withered and died, and the good and evil corpses that had been severed perished.
The God-Slaying Spear devoured Hongjun's divine and benevolent corpse, while the Immortal-Slaying Sword severed Hongjun's demonic and malevolent corpse.
A hundred defeats, a thousand defeats, even ten thousand defeats.
Hongjun's divine body crumbled and was destroyed inch by inch. The Heavenly Dao True Saint nearly killed the Acquired God Ancestor, but the Acquired Immortal Dao repaired the Dao Fruit.
Three streams of pure energy flew out from the tattered sleeve. The Three Pure Ones were also in a sorry state, almost dying in the great calamity.
Kunpeng offered peaches of immortality, ginseng fruit, and elixir of immortality to Hongjun and the Three Pure Ones to heal their injuries.
With his white hair and beard, Hongjun swallowed up the starlight, dimming the primordial starry sky and incurring another debt of karma.
The Celestial Venerable of Morality was unwilling to incur karmic debt with Kunpeng, but he had no choice but to consume peaches of immortality and other elixirs to heal his wounds, so he could only choose to eat less.
The Primordial Celestial Venerable promised that human debts and karmic consequences would be repaid.
The Shangqing Lingbao is carefree and doesn't care about cause and effect. Who in the primordial world doesn't suffer misfortune? They can repay their debts later.
Taiqing absorbs the divine light from the heavens, Yuqing inhales and exhales boundless primordial energy, and Shangqing refines the vast amount of essence between heaven and earth.
"With the Heavenly Dao True Saint and the combined efforts of all the progenitors, the overwhelming force of Ragnarok cannot be stopped!"
"The era of innate divine ways has passed, and from now on we can only develop acquired immortal ways. We, the Three Pure Ones, must take our revenge."
"Alas, I, Hongjun, do not care about hatred, but all living beings in the primordial world should not suffer because of it."
Kunpeng didn't want to say much. Before taking the throne, everyone had great ambitions, but once they took the throne, they were all the same!
The past, present, and future are all pretty much the same.
It is said to benefit all living things in the primordial world, but the environment is deteriorating. What have generations saved?
They can't be relied on, they really can't be relied on.
Mount Buzhou gathered the last of the divine power, and the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestral Witches were all relieved that Mount Buzhou still existed.
In times of suffering
As Kunpeng received more faith power, the number of innate deities who believed in the demonic path surged. Those who once looked down on the demon race now turned around and called themselves innate demon gods.
Innate deities and acquired deities are no longer distinguished by their origin; many powerful figures from the divine path have joined the demonic path.
Innate divine beasts, acquired divine beasts, and even divine beasts have joined the demon race, stirring up trouble.
The demon race is currently dominated by innate beings, while the number of acquired beings has surged, but even with a larger number of acquired beings, they are still no match for the strength of innate beings.
Hongjun was the leader, and the Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Nuwa, Fuxi, and others formed a group.
The concept of the demon race is used to unite all forces that can be united, and then elites are selected through the divine path, the immortal path, and other methods.
The Demon Master is ranked among the teachers of all demons, the Demon Emperor of the North, and is recognized as one of the giants of the demon race.
Kunpeng is also one of the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Immortal Path. The Carefree Heavenly Venerable represents an ultimate realm of the Immortal Path, and he unknowingly became a big shot.
Houtu created the [Qianzi Secret], which focuses on cultivating the primordial spirit, but also references the [Zhu Jiuyin] Great Dao of Time, so she can foresee some aspects of the future.
While staying on Buzhou Mountain, Houtu witnessed a horrifying scene: countless souls who had lost their physical bodies came to Buzhou Mountain and wailed.
When a deity loses its divine body and its supernatural powers are greatly diminished, it is called a ghost or spirit.
Beings born at birth, and those born after, all have three souls and seven spirits, all alone and helpless.
"Great God Pangu, I'm wronged! I'm truly suffering!"
"God, please, stop sending suffering upon us..."
"The primordial wilderness is truly a sea of suffering, and life is truly difficult for all living beings. Who can save us?"
The resentment gathered and soared to the sky, refusing to dissipate, causing the powerful figures on Mount Buzhou to sigh helplessly.
Nuwa created new bodies, but ninety-nine percent of the dead could not be resurrected; Heaven's will forbids changing destiny.
The Kunpeng spreads its teachings to all ghosts; ghosts and demons are also demons.
Houtu, pitying the lonely and wandering ghosts, spared no expense in cutting off her own flesh to feed them, until finally the body of the ancestral witch was exhausted.
The Great Virtue Houtu exhausted his strength, and his soul truly experienced suffering, thus creating the Great Path of Ghost Immortals.
The ghost immortals grant hope for transcendence!
