Chapter 320 - 302: Refining Rules into the Great Dao
Wukong had given Xuan Ming the fragments of the Great Dao Principles to refine, and by this moment, she had already generated eight hundred billion divine thoughts.
The wisp of Creation Qi slowly merged into their Primordial Spirit Thoughts. Wukong inhaled and felt as if he were floating on the verge of becoming an immortal, a vast power growing within him! Although it was only a small wisp of Creation Qi, it had already brought him immense benefits. Xuan Ming also felt the Creation Qi, but she could not absorb it; only her Primordial Spirit was nourished. Eventually, Wukong swallowed this wisp of Creation Qi and began to refine it.
Xuan Ming’s Primordial Spirit Thoughts continued to soar, nearly breaking the limit of nine hundred billion set by the Great Dao Sage. However, at that moment, it halted, just one thought short of the Great Perfection of nine hundred billion.
Wukong nodded and said, "Good, very good, exceedingly good! Just one thought away from reaching nine hundred billion, this thought of yours, the leader of those nine hundred billion thoughts, the king of thoughts! This final thought, you must not rush it, reflect deeply on the Dao, and then refine it."
Xuan Ming was destined to refine this last Primeval Spirit Thought into the King of Thoughts and lead the rest. When that time came, her mana would be orderly and meticulously controlled, and also in a wondrous realm of unity with heaven and earth, her combat power would increase exponentially.
"Huff!"
At that moment, Xuan Ming slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which was originally her true form, transmuted from Pangu’s physical body. Now that her thoughts were pure and unified with heaven and earth, closely intertwined with her physical body, the pure thoughts cleansed her body, even refining out this turbid qi.
Pangu was merely at the peak realm of a Heavenly Dao Saint; he had failed in his attempt to achieve enlightenment through strength. If Xuan Ming was to break the shackles of the Heavenly Dao Saint, she needed to refine this wisp of turbid qi from Pangu’s physical body; otherwise, it would always be a malign tumor, hindering her path to enlightenment. Previously, this wisp of turbid qi had protected her body; as long as it was present, she could be reborn indefinitely, and it also forged her physical body to be incomparably strong.
"This wisp of turbid air can be used to craft a magical treasure, I’ll collect it for you and refine it later," said Wukong, as he took in the turbid qi.
Xuan Ming said, "To comprehend this final King of Primordial Spirit Thoughts, it might take many years to say the least. Fortunately, I am already at the peak within the realm of Heavenly Dao Saint, and I’m just a step away from the Great Dao Sage. Now having refined these Great Dao Principle fragments from Quan Zhilong, my realm has deepened even further, just one step away from completion."
Wukong said, "You continue your cultivation; I’ll protect you and will also take the opportunity to gather some more Power of Creation from the Creation Jade Butterfly."
