Chapter 55

Lin Yang's Scheme: Harmful to Others and Not to Himself

Styx attempted to attain enlightenment twice, receiving divine favors twice, but both attempts failed, a fate that left all the powerful beings sighing in regret. (Google search)

Proving the Dao is difficult! At the same time, everyone also thought that the reason why Styx failed was probably due to the Primordial Purple Qi.

Styx was not the Heavenly Saint designated by Hongjun, so even though he twice attracted the Heavenly Dao to bestow merits, he still could not prove the Dao and become a saint.

Without the Primordial Purple Qi, one cannot become a saint. This is the key; the key lies in the Primordial Purple Qi.

So, how can we obtain the Primordial Purple Qi? Naturally, everyone's target was Hongyun again, and their eyes turned to the Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain.

However, with Zhen Yuanzi protecting Hongyun and hiding in Wuzhuang Temple, everyone was helpless and could only continue to wait for an opportunity.

Meanwhile, Lin Yang, after watching Styx's performance, shook his head, feeling somewhat moved as well.

In terms of talent, Styx clearly possessed it, but unfortunately, he chose the wrong path, which destined him to fail.

Without the Primordial Purple Qi, it's as if the Heavenly Dao doesn't recognize you, and naturally, you can't attain enlightenment through the merits of the Heavenly Dao.

Of the three methods of attaining enlightenment mentioned by Hongjun, the method of severing the three corpses is uncertain. If one finds three innate spiritual treasures of the same origin to sever the three corpses and then unites them, one might become a Primordial Golden Immortal.

But attaining enlightenment through merit is truly difficult. There are two kinds of merit: one is heavenly merit, and the other is great merit.

By accumulating merit from the Heavenly Dao, one can become a Heavenly Dao Saint; by accumulating merit from the Great Dao, one can become a Primordial Golden Immortal.

But where in the primordial world can one find the Great Dao and its merits?

Before Houtu entered the cycle of reincarnation, only the Three Pure Ones possessed the merits of creating the world, but that was not enough for them to become saints.

When they first attained enlightenment, they needed to establish a religion to gain further merit from the heavens!

Moreover, in addition to this, to attain the status of a Heavenly Saint through merit and enlightenment, one must also possess the Primordial Purple Qi.

Without the Primordial Purple Qi, one cannot attain enlightenment or become a saint. No matter how many methods Styx tries, he will never achieve sainthood; he will always remain a quasi-saint.

Therefore, apart from Houtu, this path is a dead end for everyone else.

It would be better to sever the three corpses and attain enlightenment.

Of course, the best method is to prove the Dao through force, that is, through the laws. As long as one comprehends a law to perfection, one can prove the Dao and become a Primordial Golden Immortal.

Although the Primordial Golden Immortal is not immortal like the Heavenly Saint, he has the advantage of freedom.

Although they might not be able to defeat a sage in the primordial world, once they leave the primordial world and enter the chaos, their strength should be far greater than that of a sage.

Of course, Lin Yang, a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, doesn't count, and Lin Yang doesn't follow the path of proving the Dao through force.

Rather, it was about proving one's path through the world. This was a path that Lin Yang had discovered on his own. With the power of a vast world bestowed upon him, Lin Yang was not afraid of the saints, even in the primordial world.

"The Styx River created the Asura race, so shouldn't Houtu be the next to be reincarnated?"

Lin Yang muttered to himself.

Actually, he had been waiting for this day for a long time. It was related to a small plan of his.

That is, to let his clone Fengdu establish the Underworld and become its ruler.

This has great benefits.

The primordial world is mainly divided into three realms: the Heavenly Realm, the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Netherworld Realm.

Becoming the ruler of the underworld is essentially equivalent to controlling one-third of the power in the Netherworld and the primordial world.

Such a scheme is self-evident.

"I didn't want others to know about my relationship with Fengdu before, but now it seems that if I don't step in to protect Fengdu, Fengdu simply won't succeed."

Lin Yang felt somewhat helpless. Having experienced what happened last time, he was well aware of the actions of the Sages. If anyone wanted to seize the Earth Palace, the Cycle of Reincarnation, or the Netherworld, they would definitely not agree.

After all, there's no need for Fengdu to exist if it's not under their control, right?

As for the so-called "heavenly way" and "major and minor forces," it's really up to them to say whatever they want.

So, it all comes down to strength!

Lin Yang's eyes flashed with light. With his strength, it would be easy for him to suppress the saints and subdue them.

But even if the saints are subdued, this matter may not necessarily succeed.

Because there is still the Heavenly Dao, and there is still Hongjun.

Lin Yang had no intention of thinking about it, but now that he had, he was bound to consider the worst possible outcome.

"Houtu, the breakthrough lies in Houtu. I must help Houtu attain enlightenment, and through her connection with reincarnation, I can prevent the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun from making any rash moves. That way, my plan will succeed," Lin Yang said with a smile.

This might be the only way.

Unlike the fantastical novels of his previous life, the real primordial world he inhabited did not have the concepts of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

Otherwise, his Great Thousand Worlds would definitely not only have one avatar, but three, to create a tripartite division of power and a balance between the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man.

But this doesn't actually exist. The Way of Heaven is the fundamental will of a world.

The concepts of "the Way of Earth" and "the Way of Humanity" only originate from the theory of the Three Powers (Heaven, Earth, and Man), and there is actually no such thing as them forming a balance with the Way of Heaven.

Even if we take a step back and assume that there really were three paths in the primordial world, then it probably wouldn't have formed a so-called balance. Instead, the three paths would have devoured each other, and sooner or later the balance would have been lost, leading to the destruction of the primordial world.

Getting back to the main point, Lin Yang's idea at this moment was that he would help Houtu attain enlightenment, but not to become a saint, but to become a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal like himself.

Houtu should be able to do this. As long as she can draw down the merits of the Great Dao and use them to prove her Dao.

Then Lin Yang would essentially have an ally in the same camp, and it wouldn't be a problem for his clone Fengdu to become the Lord of the Underworld.

Of course, there must be many interests involved, after all, Houtu is not alone, but also has a much larger witch clan behind her.

When the time comes, some of the benefits will inevitably have to be distributed.

However, gaining a Grand Luo Golden Immortal ally in return is not unacceptable.

The only thing to consider is whether it's worth it.

After all, Houtu was an ancestral witch, and Lin Yang helped her attain enlightenment, so she became a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

This has a tremendous impact on the Great Calamity.

It is safe to say that Hongjun will inevitably suffer the consequences, there is no doubt about that.

"It seems another big battle is about to begin!" Lin Yang's eyes gleamed slightly. Although he felt the pressure, he was also quite excited.

What's the point of fighting against the saints? They're all weaklings. He simply swept through them.

Hongjun is still the best.

He wanted to see the first sage of the primordial world, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who was in harmony with the Heavenly Dao and intended to turn the tables and devour the Heavenly Dao.

Just how strong is it!

"As long as they don't completely suppress me and leave me powerless, I have nothing to fear!"

Lin Yang muttered to himself.

He is not one of the saints. If you anger him, he will risk destroying the primordial world and plunging it back into chaos.

At that time, even Hongjun and even the Heavenly Dao would have to compromise with him, right?

After all, Hongjun's goal is to devour the Heavenly Dao. If the Primordial World is gone, how can he devour the Heavenly Dao?

Even he, who is now in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, will be implicated, right?

The more Lin Yang thought about it, the more excited he became, and he almost couldn't resist the urge to try it out immediately.

This is so exciting!

However, Lin Yang forced himself to calm down. He didn't intend to destroy the Primordial World unless absolutely necessary.

It's like a nuclear weapon; it won't be used unless absolutely necessary.

After all, this kind of behavior is extremely harmful to others and doesn't benefit oneself at all!
