The Mortal World and the Immortal Realm

Chapter 176 The Mortal World and the Immortal Realm

It is precisely because of the existence of the immortal path here that the Heavenly Dao can use this as a medium to continuously transmit its own power, suppress the will of the divine path, and allow many great immortals to kill everywhere without any scruples.

It can be said that the existence of this immortal path serves as a passage, a passage through which the Heavenly Dao can enter.

Without this passage, it wouldn't be these gods and demons running amok, but these immortals.

After all, fighting against gods and demons in the primordial world of gods is an extremely foolish thing to do, like trying to catch a roc in the sky or a kun fish in the water.

Without power far surpassing that of the Peng bird and the Kun fish, it would be good enough if you could capture them without being killed by them instead.

After killing these gods and demons, many powerful immortals would immediately sacrifice them to create a channel through which the Heavenly Dao could transmit more power into it.

The stronger the power of Heaven, the stronger these great immortals become, and the weaker these gods and demons become. This allows them to kill more gods and demons to sacrifice to Heaven, making Heaven stronger and creating a virtuous cycle.

Of course, for gods and demons, this is a vicious cycle.

It is precisely for this reason that the nascent immortal path here is basically guarded by three great gods who have severed corpses at all times, in order to prevent those emperors from attacking this place even at the cost of their lives, and destroying Guang Chengzi and this mysterious gate of heaven and earth.

As the Creation Lotus gradually grew, a life force began to appear in this mortal realm.

With the blessing of these life energies, the mortal realm rapidly gained countless powers, and kings, generals, ministers, and common people began to multiply and thrive, bringing even more vitality.

It's like opening a canal for an enormous lake, allowing a constant flow of fresh water to enter it, and from then on, the lake is no longer dead, but has life.

With a roar, the Immortal Realm of the Mortal World launched a swift and even more powerful attack, slaying countless gods and demons along the way. They transformed the flesh and blood of these demons into spiritual energy, which filled the Immortal Realm and thus nourished the Mortal World, making it even stronger.

In the end, Guang Chengzi even stopped holding the Creation Lotus and threw it into the Mortal Realm, letting the lotus carry the Mortal Realm and help it comprehend the principles of the mortal world.

Although the Life Dao of the Creation Green Lotus is good, it is not the most important thing for Guang Chengzi. He needs this green lotus to become the towering tree of the mortal world, that is, the world tree in the ordinary world.

Although the Great Dao has already been determined, fortunately, this Creation Lotus is not yet fully mature and is still just a seed. Naturally, there are many ways to change its characteristics. If it were to be fully matured, it would be difficult to change it again.

Just like a child whose nature hasn't fully developed, there are ways to train them. But if you wait until they become adults, it's almost impossible to change their personality. Seeing that Guang Chengzi actually had such a treasure, the three great gods were amazed. Among them, two were very familiar to Guang Chengzi: Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun.

As for the other person, he was extremely rare. He was a hidden ancestor who existed since the beginning of Pangu's creation of the world, and called himself Panwang.

The cultivation path of this Ancestor Pan Wang is extremely peculiar. It is neither the Great Path of Poison nor the Great Path of Plague, but rather a Great Path of Gu that he created himself.

This Great Dao of Gu is neither an insect, nor a poison, nor a disease, but it is also an insect, a poison, and a disease.

Panwang Laozu's origins are quite peculiar. This great god of creation was born with the Dao of Insects, meaning he was born a Great Luo, but he was not content with that.

While other great gods were cultivating or establishing their own powers, this Panwang Ancestor resolutely abandoned his own Great Dao and started cultivating anew. This time, he achieved the Great Luo realm through the Great Dao of Poison.

After achieving the Great Luo of Poison, Ancestor Panwang picked up the Great Dao of Insects from the past and became the Great Luo of Insects and Poisons. His cultivation was extremely profound and no less than that of any other ancestor.

However, after becoming the Great Luo of Insects and Poisons, Ancestor Panwang made an incomprehensible move: he abandoned this Great Dao again and started cultivating it anew, this time cultivating the Great Dao of Disease.

Having had his Dao destroyed three times in a row, anyone else would probably have died and lost their Dao long ago. But Panwang, the ancestor, truly lived up to his reputation as a great god who created the world. He actually used the Dao of Illness to achieve the Great Luo again, and even picked up his previous Dao, becoming the unique Three Great Luo.

Before the secret technique of severing the three corpses appeared, Panwang Ancestor was a unique existence, and even ordinary Hunyuan Great Gods did not want to provoke him.

Despite having already achieved the Three Great Luo Realms, Panwang Ancestor still did not choose to enter the Primordial Chaos Realm. Someone once asked Panwang Ancestor why he did not continue cultivating, and Panwang Ancestor only said that he was lacking something, but he did not say what he was lacking.

Until Hongjun Daozu appeared out of nowhere, Panwang Laozu seemed to have suddenly realized something, and once again abandoned his own Great Dao, and started cultivating again to pick up the past of the Divine Dao with the methods of the Immortal Dao.

Finally, he combined the essence of these three great paths and created his own great path, which is the Great Path of Gu!

The Great Dao of Gu is born from the three Great Daos of Poison, Insect, and Disease, making it extremely superior. It belongs entirely to Ancestor Panwang and is incredibly powerful when in operation.

It was precisely because of this process of "three wastes and three certificates" that Panwang Ancestor's reputation became widely known. In fact, if Panwang Ancestor had not picked up his past experiences in the divine path, it would probably have been Panwang Ancestor, not Guangchengzi, who invaded the divine realm this time.

Even with Panwang's experience, he was amazed by the concept of the Immortal Path in the Mortal World, exclaiming, "Guangchengzi, you are truly remarkable. No wonder the Three Pure Ones strongly vouch for you, and even Nuwa is willing to testify for you, allowing you to venture alone into this divine wilderness. The concept of the Immortal Path in the Mortal World is so profound that even Hongjun Daozu would probably smile upon knowing it."

Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun nodded in admiration. Even with their pride, they had to admit that the Mortal Realm was truly an unparalleled and invincible technique, which had further expanded the concept of immortality. This was something that even quasi-saints could not do.

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi quickly replied, "Uncle-Master Panwang is far too kind. How could my ideas possibly meet your approval?"

Although Panwang Laozu was a great god who created the world, he had reincarnated three times and had long forgotten everything from the past. Even if he retained some of the legacy from the past, it would be like watching a stranger's experience; he was no longer the same person he once was.

Therefore, he is now merely a quasi-saint who inherited the name of the former Panwang Ancestor.

Panwang Laozu shook his head and said, "You don't need to be so modest. The appearance of the mortal world is like providing a support for the original immortal path. From now on, the immortal path is no longer a tree without roots or water without a source."

As the saying goes, "There is a source of living water." This vast mortal world is like a muddy pond from which pure lotus flowers are born. Under the illumination of the immortal path, countless immortal lotuses will be born. This is the living water.

If all goes as expected, once you return to the Immortal Realm, Dao Ancestor Hongjun will surely bestow upon you countless treasures. It's not impossible that he might even grant you one of the following: the Taiji Diagram, the Pangu Banner, or the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation.
