The Emperor of Ziwei understood everything as soon as he heard it. Since even the Taoist Patriarch was paying attention to it, it must be very important. Although he was one of the Four Heavenly Emperors and held a high position of power, in the eyes of the saints, when it came to these transcendental matters, his status as one of the Four Heavenly Emperors was like that of an ant. How could he possibly seek trouble for himself?

"Since Her Majesty has invited me, I will not disturb you. It will not be too late to tell you after you have heard the exact answer from Daozu. I am here only to express my gratitude for helping my sister Zixuan Xingjun. Since you are going to Zixiao Palace by order, I will take my leave first and invite you to come over for a banquet another day."

The Emperor of Ziwei is indeed steady and kind in his work, showing the demeanor of an emperor!

Jiang Wang sighed in his heart and became alert at the same time. If his unprecedented achievement became known to everyone, the Tushita Palace would probably become a zoo in a blink of an eye, and many immortals from the thirty-three heavens would come to watch.

He has opened up an unprecedented path and is qualified to be mentioned on par with Pangu and Daozu. This means that many Golden Immortals will want to learn from him and achieve the Dao of Hunyuan.

He quickly hid his figure, shielded his own breath, and rushed towards the Queen Wa Palace. When he arrived, he saw Queen Wa show her Dharma body, with a human body and a snake tail, and a purple aura all over her body. Her eyes shot out two golden rays, which saw him clearly inside and out. Then she retracted the light in her eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

"You have finally found the Wuji Dao. You have produced a trace of the real Hongmeng purple energy in the prehistoric world without any external force, instead of relying on the external force of the crystal world. This is a cause for celebration. Let's go and pay homage to the Dao Ancestor together with your old friend."

Jiang Wang then noticed Lei Ting who had not been seen for half a day. The silver and kind Valkyrie armor on his body now turned into crystal clear with colorful flowing colors. It should be that he was instructed by the goddess Nuwa to integrate the five-colored sky-repairing stone with his own armor, and inherited the Taoism of the Lord of the Phoenix, giving birth to the innate Taoism of Nirvana and rebirth.

In a word, Lei Ting at this time is like an indestructible cockroach. He becomes stronger with each battle. Every time after being defeated, he will be reborn into a nirvana with greatly increased power, and defeat his opponent in a counterattack.

In the past battles between dragons and phoenixes, the Phoenix clan was far less numerous than the Dragon clan, which owned vast tracts of water, but they were able to fight on equal terms, defeating the larger force with a smaller one. Even the Phoenix has the ability to be reborn from the ashes.

The Phoenix Lord with the most profound power can be reborn nine times. During the last rebirth, his power can increase by 9981 times. However, this also comes with a corresponding price, which is that his power will be almost gone and he will fall into a deep sleep, and it is unknown when he will wake up.

The Asura clan's demon disintegration is a copycat of the Phoenix's rebirth from the asura nirvana, except that it lacks the ability to regenerate, which means that it's all over after one explosion.

Jiang Wang quickly agreed, and saw a ray of light rushing straight into the thirty-sixth heaven and entering the realm of chaos.

As soon as he entered, Lei Ting, who had made great progress in his merits, couldn't help but exclaimed, "The chaotic aura here is countless times thicker than in our world, but why is it above the nine heavens? Shouldn't it be in the cracks of time and space?"

Queen Wa smiled lightly and went out of her way to clear up the confusion for this junior. "That's because the Great Dao is incomplete. The barriers between the worlds are also formed by the infinite chaos, and other subtle changes have occurred to block the exchanges between the worlds. Only when a world prospers to the extreme will it tear open a tiny hole and enter other worlds."

Jiang Wang remained silent, knowing that the Queen Wa was talking about him, the barrier tearer, the destined person chosen by the Jade Disc of Creation.

As they were talking, strange visions appeared on the bodies of the three people. Golden light surged from the body of Nuwa, forcing away the chaos that was surging from all directions; an extremely sharp sword energy surged from Lei Ting's body, tearing a gap in the chaos and passing through the gap.

Only Jiang Wang found himself walking in chaos, and he only felt a faint resistance like a strong airflow. Other auras had no reaction to him at all, as if he had become a part of the chaos.

Seeing this, Jiang Wang was also a little excited. His "Hunyuan Golden Immortal" was, to some extent, a reduced version of the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. He was not even a quasi-saint, but he was qualified to walk in the chaos. He was half a level higher than Lei Ting, who was a Daluo Golden Immortal.

Nuwa can also walk freely in the chaos without being afraid of its erosion, but she obviously doesn't like chaos and directly uses the power of merit to force chaos aside.

In the universe and on earth, only Goddess Nuwa has endless merits to squander. Especially now that humanity is flourishing to the extreme, even though Goddess Nuwa is not involved in worldly affairs, her status is still rising and she is gaining a lot of merits all the time.

This is the benefit of the only original shareholder and founder. Even if the shares have been diluted many times, the original shares are still the original shares, and no one can encroach on even a penny.

The two Western saints, who owed God a huge amount of merit, probably couldn't stand the wealthy Nuwa goddess squandering merit in the Zixiao Palace all the time, so they disappeared completely to avoid seeing her.

In a blink of an eye, they entered the Zixiao Palace, which was filled with purple air and appeared and disappeared unpredictably. The huge palace was empty, except for an old man with an ancient appearance and a cane sitting upright on the throne in the middle. There was also a strange old man sitting on the cushion on his left hand, with a blank expression on his face, who ignored the arrival of the three people.

Even if Jiang Wang had never seen this old man who exuded a pure and spiritual aura, he knew that he was his true master - Saint Taiqing.

As soon as the person entered, he hurried forward to pay his respects. Before he could make any move, he felt an endless amount of power surging in front of him, as if it was there and not there, and he could no longer bow down. This power was especially true as it was somewhat similar to the Hunyuan Qi that he had just condensed, but yet very different.

Jiang Wang's heart moved, and he silently practiced his profound skills to reverse the primordial Qi in his body, and merged with the breath in front of him to create a blend of qi of hundreds of rivers. Taking advantage of the moment of separation and combination, he fell to the ground and respectfully performed the ceremony of three kowtows and nine bows.

"Hahaha, you are really interesting. You can see through the secret of my Hunyuan Qi in an instant. You are here to meet me, the ancestor. Then let me ask you, where does the Hongmeng purple Qi on your forehead come from?"

Jiang Wang was slightly surprised, but he had already said, "Reporting to the Taoist, this Hongmeng purple energy was born from the Hunyuan Qi of the acquired Taiji."

Hongjun laughed dumbly and shook his head, "If you reversed Tai Chi and created Hongmeng Purple Qi from the Hunyuan Qi, you would not be in Zixiao Palace, and fellow Taoist Nuwa would not bring you here personally."

This time Jiang Wang was confused and asked stupidly, "Then my disciple's Hongmeng purple energy didn't come from the Hunyuan Qi, could it be that it came from the brilliance of the crystal foreign land?"

At this time, Nuwa also walked to the cushion on the right and sat down, smiling at the Saint Taiqing.

"You, my disciple, have achieved the way of confusion by being confused. You have accidentally entered a field that we have never been to. You should fulfill your duty as a master and clear up the confusion for your disciple."

Saint Taiqing slowly opened his eyes, stretched out his hand and gently patted Jiang Wang on the forehead, and gave a clear shout.

"Fool, fool, if you could return to your origin and produce this primordial purple energy, then your Hunyuan Dao would have long become the Dao of Taiyi Jinxian. Do you know where this primordial purple energy in the world comes from?"

"Of course it's the Hongmeng World. No, could it be that the great god Pangu was born from a dream? The Hongmeng World is a world older than dreams." "Although it's not in the middle, it's not far away either. The seven Hongmeng purple auras of the Honghuang World flew out from the Seven Apertures Linglong Heart after Pangu's death. They originated from Pangu's dream world, but they did not come from the dream world. Instead, they were the thoughts and bodies of the origin from the indescribable to the barely describable when the Great Dao was born from the Wuji. That place of origin, let's call it the Hongmeng World."

Jiang Wang recalled what Brahma said in the past time and space. It can be said that the statement of the Saint Taiqing is similar. The biggest difference is that there was the incarnation of the Great Dao first, and then the world was opened up, but the prehistoric world lacked this incarnation of the Great Dao.

He hurriedly asked respectfully, "May I ask the Taoist ancestor Hongjun, is it the Hongmeng purple energy that was born in the Hongmeng world, so he was named Hongjun?"

The Great Purity Saint shook his head and said, "You are wrong again. It is true that Daozu and Hongmeng Purple Qi have a close relationship. If you must talk about their origins, then we can say that Daozu is the combination of Hongmeng Purple Qi and Pangu's heart, which gave him a physical body."

When Jiang Wang heard this secret, he was filled with sighs. His background was still too shallow, so he was not qualified to hear the secret that even the Great Celestial Venerable might not know. Probably, only a few saints knew about Hongjun's origins.

The reason it was revealed to him at this time was definitely not because he was the direct great-grandson of Daozu. The answer was obvious.

He asked back with a look of shock on his face: "Daozu, could it be that the Hongmeng purple energy that my disciple produced was transformed from the origin of the Great Dao? It seems that my disciple does not have this ability."

Sitting in the center, Hongjun stroked his beard and laughed, "The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao. To cultivate the great Tao, one must have the three elements of fate, law, and companion to achieve success."

"Fate comes from the way of heaven, the method comes from the teachings of the earth, and companionship comes from the way of man. It requires both yin and yang to produce all things. You understand both the positive and negative methods of the primordial purple energy, and you also happen to encounter a great opportunity in a foreign land. Finally, you happen to have a connection with the heir of the Phoenix, and both want to know whether the primordial purple energy can be produced. Under the guidance of the energy, your acquired way is transformed into the innate way, and the primordial purple energy is produced from nothingness."

Well, two curious babies having the same idea in their minds will really attract the opportunity of cause and effect. After all, there really is God's will in this world.

Jiang Wang didn't dare dwell on the issue of his partner for fear of making things worse, so he had to act humble and ask for help on the question he wanted to know most.

"Daozu, what does it mean that my disciple has achieved the status of Hunyuan Jinxian?"

Hongjun spoke slowly: "This is the avenue that Pangu and I have been pursuing. Because the avenue was incomplete, we had to take a step back and chose the Taiyi and Daluo avenues. We retreated to advance and then cultivated Hunyuan. It seems that one failed and the other succeeded, but in fact, both were lacking a thread. Now that the missing parts of the avenue have appeared one after another, you have achieved Hunyuan with your meager strength."

Saint Taiqing added.

“Grandson, the Hunyuan of Hunyuan Golden Immortal and the Hunyuan of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal may seem the same thing, but in fact, they are different in terms of innate and acquired nature. Only you can generate the Hongmeng Purple Qi by yourself, while we rely on the Hongmeng Purple Qi from others, which is acquired nature. Now that the opportunity has come, a faint road has appeared in the void dead end of the seven of us, leading directly to the Great Dao.”

Jiang Wang understood the words of the two saints, his master and his ancestor, and knew that as long as the issue of existence or non-existence was resolved, the amount would never be a problem.

Of course, he had to get to the bottom of the issue that was related to his future success or failure, so he simply revealed everything he had seen and heard.

"I once met a god named Brahma from the past, who claimed to be the incarnation of the Great Dao. Brahma came first, then the world came. He has gone through countless reincarnations. Each reincarnation has a different name, but the process is almost the same. He will leave some traces in the place of origin in the past. However, the incarnation of the Great Dao in this life did not appear in the place of origin, so he asked me to investigate this matter."

As he spoke, he condensed the charm that he had shown to Master Xuandu between his fingers, which immediately attracted the attention of the three saints.

Saint Taiqing spoke slowly.

"What is the name of this thing? It seems to exist yet not exist. It does not exist in this time and space, and it does not have a trace of magic power or divine consciousness. It really opens my eyes!"

Jiang Wang's heart moved, and the purple pattern on the purple palace between his eyebrows shot out a ray of purple air, which was invested in the non-existent Miaojian Crystal Wheel. Suddenly, he saw an extra treasure in his hand, which was a Chaos Bell, Pangu Axe, Tai Chi Diagram, and even many magical treasures that everyone had seen.

Then he said the name of this treasure, "Master, this item is called the Wonderful Golden Wheel. Brahma also has Pangu Axe and other treasures that many disciples have never seen before."

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun flipped his palm and a purple jade ruyi shaped like a Ganoderma lucidum appeared, emitting a stream of purple air. The treasure immediately transformed into the Wonderful Golden Wheel in Brahma's hand, which slowly turned. Countless pictures flew out of the wheel. Even with Jiang Wang's achievement as a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, he felt dizzy and overwhelmed.

Just when Jiang Wang could no longer hold on, Daozu retracted the purple jade Ruyi and smiled at the two saints under his tutelage, "If anyone in the prehistoric world is the incarnation of the Great Dao, then it cannot be without Pangu Ancestor God. But you all know that Pangu is not the incarnation of the Great Dao, or even the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. He is just the first living being derived from the Heaven and Earth. Do you two have any objections?"

The Saint Taiqing nodded and said, "Teacher, what you said is very true, but now is not the time for us to discuss the Dao. It is difficult for the two juniors to stay here for a long time. Why don't we go to the world of Pangu's dream to have a look before we go into detail."

When Jiang Wang heard this, he hurriedly stopped the bosses from taking action and destroying the purity of his back garden.

"Master, as long as the strength of the Crystal World reaches the level of a celestial being, it will provoke a strong resistance from the world's will. Even if Thunder becomes the guardian god, it seems that he cannot control every small world in that world. I think that this place is both a dream of Pangu and has strange existences from the previous reincarnation. We should not disturb it for the time being and see what this world will develop into."

Daozu Hongjun pondered for a moment and nodded, "You want to use this world as a mirror of the prehistoric world and compare them with each other, right? Then we will wait and see, and make sure that the great catastrophe of the journey to the west here will not affect this nascent world too much. What do you think, Daoist Nuwa?"

Nuwa stood up and thanked him, "Thank you Daozu for helping my old friend."

Saint Taiqing glanced at Jiang Wang and Lei Ting, and two rays of divine light shot into their eyes. "You have come from a difficult background, and you all have a deep connection with Pangu. I will give you two this fragment of the Creation of Heaven. The fact that my grandson has achieved the status of Hunyuan Jinxian cannot be spread to others for the time being. If you practice according to this mental method and your abilities are greatly increased, it is not a lie to say that you have achieved the status of Taiyi Jinxian."

Jiang Wang was delighted when he heard this, and immediately took out a fixed template to explain the matter, "Then I will say that I have achieved the Hunyuan Yiqi of the Monkey King and I have a Hunyuan body, which is also genuine."

What the hell is going on here? Could it be that the monkey stole his path to becoming a Daluo Jinxian? Never mind. The monkey has already been blamed enough, so one more blame wouldn't be too much.

The Saint Taiqing waved his hand, and Jiang Wang and Lei Ting returned to the front of the Tushita Palace. They looked at each other, and both felt that the Daoist Ancestor's invitation to them might not be that simple. It was just that his Taoism was shallow and his power was weak, so they could not see the Daoist Ancestor's intentions. (End of this chapter)
