Refining the Dao into Godhood: A Tale of the Jie Sect

Reversing Dao Contamination, though extremely difficult, is not impossible, and Emperor Donghua and Jin Ling Saint Mother can be considered successful examples.

Now, Emperor Donghua is actually the Evil Corpse of East King. When East King was slain, his Evil Corpse fortunately retained a sliver of life.

Later, Qingqiu's Feng Jiu sought the Innate Spiritual Treasure that harbored the Evil Corpse and offered incense day and night, which led to the rise of Emperor Donghua!

Although the Evil Corpse is also a part of East King, it thinks differently, especially after East King's true self was slain by Donghuang Taiyi. The Evil Corpse seized the opportunity to contaminate the true self, replacing it, making Emperor Donghua a brand new being, distinct from East King.

As for Jin Ling Saint Mother, she was tainted with causality during the reshaping of the Ancient Starry Sky, awakening Doumu Yuanjun's True Spirit from the endless void.

Doumu Yuanjun wanted to contaminate Jin Ling, but Tongtian Sect Master intervened in time, severely injuring Doumu Yuanjun's True Spirit with the Supreme Sword Dao, allowing Jin Ling Saint Mother to seize the opportunity to reverse and claim Doumu Yuanjun's authority.

Although their situations are different, they share a prerequisite: the true self must suffer severe damage for the incarnation to possibly reverse and contaminate the true self.

East King and Doumu Yuanjun, one severely injured by Donghuang Taiyi, the other by Tongtian Sect Master, thus fulfilled Emperor Donghua and Jin Ling Saint Mother.

The struggle between the self and the incarnation, the contest for the authority of heaven and earth, the connection between the true self and the Three Corpses Incarnations, are extremely similar in some aspects.

"I have my ways!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's expression did not change: "To achieve transcendence, how can one not take some risks?"

"In fact, during these calamitous times, I have been orchestrating events from behind the scenes, with a strategy to increase my strength as much as possible!"

"To Pangu, we, beings evolved from His Taoist Body, are undoubtedly similar to the Three Corpses and the incarnations!"

"The stronger we are, the more benefit Pangu gains upon our return, but we each possess our own consciousness!"

"Naturally, we won't sit and wait for demise!"

His gaze looked beyond the heavens, toward endless time and space, and continued: "During the time I controlled the Primordial Heavenly Dao, I understood a truth: excess or deficiency in anything is insufficient. If my strength were comparable to Pangu's, reaching the Great Dao General, it wouldn't be easy for him to contaminate me!"

Pangu is very strong, far surpassing ordinary Primordial Daluo Golden Immortals. Even the Hong Tian, who cultivated the Great Dao General, wasn't his opponent in direct confrontation.

But as long as He hasn't transcended, He is not omnipotent. Just as He can defeat Hong Tian, He cannot completely obliterate Hong Tian's Dao.

This is Yuanshi Tianzun's conclusion!

"Does Master Uncle have any brilliant plans?"

Xuanqing was immediately intrigued. Given Yuanshi Tianzun's character, he surely wouldn't speak without aim.

"It cannot be spoken!"

"It cannot be spoken!"

Yuanshi Tianzun then resorted to riddles: "If Pangu knows, won't He refrain from contaminating me?"

Only by planning with heartless calculation can he seize that opportunity.

Therefore, he hadn't disclosed his strategy to Taiqing Master and Tongtian Sect Master.

"Is there anything I can help with?"

Seeing Yuanshi Tianzun reluctant to say more, he didn't press further, but asked if there was anything within this strategy that needed his assistance.

"Strength!"

Yuanshi Tianzun said solemnly: "I need to increase my strength as much as possible! Of course, not by using external powers like Kunpeng!"

During the last encounter with Kunpeng, although he and Taiqing Master and Tongtian Sect Master were at a disadvantage, he also saw through Kunpeng's actuality.

Without Xuanqing, that Kunpeng could never suppress them.

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing immediately formed three Dao Seeds: "These are my insights into the Three Thousand Great Dao, hoping to aid Second Master Uncle and First Master Uncle, as well as the teacher, in understanding the Great Dao General!"

The Three Pure Ones aren't lacking in strength; whether it's Taiqing Master, Yuanshi Tianzun, or Tongtian Sect Master, they have comprehended over a thousand Daos. Given time, cultivating the Great Dao General isn't an issue.

He didn't mind offering them a hand!

Additionally, regardless of Yuanshi Tianzun's plan, whether success or failure, it will help him distract part of Pangu's focus.

He certainly wouldn't refuse!

At their level, even the slightest influence could play an immeasurable role in the final battle for transcendence.

Then, Xuanqing condensed several authorities, distributing them to Daoist Duobao and others: "These are authorities I've formed from my own Dao, crucial for resisting Dao contamination at critical times!"

Though Duobao and the others are quite talented, they still lag behind the Three Pure Ones, Kunpeng, and others. Transcending in this Chaos Era is impossible.

Thus, he didn't force their growth!

If they fall unfortunately, he will certainly use these authorities to guide their True Spirits, enshrining them as gods within his body.

If Xuanqing transcends at that time, these gods he enshrined can share part of the transcendent power, living into the next era.

"Thank you, Junior Brother!"

Daoist Duobao accepted the authority with a smile: "May Junior Brother transcend soon, so we can bask in some of the glory!"

As the eldest senior brother of Jie Sect, Daoist Duobao's Dao Heart is undoubtedly very firm, but he wouldn't insist on achieving the impossible.

He has a clear understanding of himself, knowing that in this era, it's difficult for him to cultivate the Great Dao General like Xuanqing.
