Chapter 142 Searching for a New Civilization
Although the laws of chaos are powerful, they are not supreme and still need to follow certain rules.
The key factor in measuring the strength of the laws of chaos is the degree of their antagonism.
Generally speaking, the stronger the antagonistic nature of a law, the greater its power, and the more difficult the transformation becomes.
This rule applies even at lower levels.
Through his communication with the Great God Pangu, Zhao Xuan gained a deeper understanding of the power of the Limitless.
In contrast to the laws of power of the great god Pangu, the mythological laws he himself possessed were almost entirely devoid of any countermeasure.
The core essence of the mythological law lies in the collection, analysis, transformation, and utilization of various information to intervene in the real world and ultimately shape the ultimate form.
By analyzing Pangu's consciousness, Zhao Xuan witnessed the application of the Law of Force at the level of the Chaos Law, as demonstrated by the Great God Pangu, following its operation along the timeline.
To his surprise, even a powerful force like Pangu, which was at the level of chaos, could not completely erase the chaotic matter.
This shows that Zhao Xuan's Xuanhuang Body possesses extremely terrifying potential.
It should be understood that the Xuanhuang Dharma Body is the most refined part of the chaotic matter. It is the most refined chaotic essence left behind after the Golden Flower Dharma Domain of the Boundless Version of the Flower Blooming Moment destroyed all things. After undergoing a high degree of condensation by the laws of matter, it was activated by the laws of mythology before it was created.
What's important is not the laws of matter and mythology, but the Golden Flower Domain of the Limitless version of the Flower Blooming in an Instant, which directly shattered the chaotic impurities.
What remains are pure chaotic essence and primordial yellow particles, which the laws of matter merely condense together.
The Mythical Law incorporates the four fundamental laws of force, allowing the Mythical Law and Zhao Xuan's mental image to be perceived by every Xuanhuang particle.
This is what enabled Zhao Xuan to control the Xuanhuang Dharma Body.
Zhao Xuan compared his physical body to that of Pangu in the timeline and discovered that his Xuanhuang Dharma Body was no less powerful than Pangu's physical body.
The power displayed by Zhao Xuan's Xuanhuang Dharma Body indirectly demonstrates the strength of mythological laws.
It should be understood that even the Law of Force, which is at the level of the Law of Chaos and represents the ultimate force, has difficulty controlling and manipulating the Xuanhuang matter at will.
However, from another perspective, this is actually a balancing mechanism.
Because while the laws of mythology gained such a powerful ability to influence reality and unparalleled control, they also had to make certain compromises—sacrificing their own advantages in terms of confrontation.
To some extent, creating mythological figures and making them so realistic that they are indistinguishable from the real thing is undoubtedly a way to influence reality.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan merely glanced at the primordial world behind him, and an incredibly vast and endless Great Wall of steel instantly appeared beneath his feet.
This Great Wall of Steel seems to have no end; its length is beyond imagination, whether it is billions or hundreds of billions of kilometers long, plunging straight into the depths of chaos.
Standing atop this steel Great Wall, Zhao Xuan journeyed deeper into the chaos as the wall stretched ever onward.
This magnificent steel Great Wall is one of the three mythical styles meticulously created by Zhao Xuan, inspired by the endless imagination and longing of the Chinese nation, in which he was born in the first life, for the Great Wall of Qin.
It was only by relying on a spiritual power originating from the level of primordial laws, coupled with the surging momentum of humanity in the primordial world at that time, that the mythical technique was successfully created.
Zhao Xuan used this as an experiment to explore how to create myths.
In addition, there are two other routes, one called "Fenglang Juxu" and the other called "Chang'an Never Sleeps".
The dynastic changes in the prehistoric world were vastly different from those in the first era.
The dynastic changes of this primordial era were, in fact, a long epic of humanity's fierce struggle against divine authority.
The magnificent Great Wall, though seemingly insignificant, served a purpose far beyond simply defending against the Xiongnu. Like the Heavenly Court in the realm of immortals, it was a tool used to suppress the destiny of the human race.
It is also a sacred artifact of humanity that protects the human race.
Jambudvipa is the main settlement for the human race, and a sacred place where the human race's destiny is protected.
On the land of Jambudvipa, immortals and gods ventured deep.
Even if a powerful being like a quasi-saint enters, most of their supernatural abilities will be greatly suppressed.
Furthermore, no deity or immortal may easily harm mortals in this place; once this taboo is violated, one will surely suffer a fierce backlash from the fate of humanity.
Human destiny, on the other hand, radiates outwards from the Central Plains dynasty as its core.
This is why, of the eighty-one tribulations on the journey to the West, all those involving demons and monsters occurred outside the Tang Dynasty's territory.
Even the Five Elements Mountain was not originally within the territory of the Central Plains. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it was located on the border of the Tang Dynasty's territory and was called the Two Realms Mountain by the world.
Those high and mighty gods, out of their unwavering pursuit of their own beliefs, would never allow the human race of the four continents to achieve unification.
To achieve some ulterior motive, certain forces often drive the demon race to the fringes of the four continents. Behind their actions lies a grand conspiracy—to completely sever the close ties between the human races of the four continents.
Back then, Qin Shi Huang aspired to become the emperor, and after countless fierce battles, he finally succeeded in unifying the Central Plains.
However, his ambitions were not satisfied. He longed to go further, to continue conquering the entire Jambudvipa, and finally to unify the four continents and restore the supreme majesty of the former human emperor.
However, this plan aroused the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the immortals and gods in the celestial realm.
Thus, these high and mighty immortals secretly colluded to drive out a large number of ferocious demons and engage in a life-or-death struggle with the Qin Empire.
Faced with the overwhelming demon army, Qin Shi Huang, after careful consideration, ordered the construction of an impregnable Great Wall to withstand the fierce and surging attacks of the demons.
This world-famous Great Wall has not only become a symbol of the indomitable spirit of humankind, but also a great monument that has witnessed that magnificent history.
The Great Wall of Steel, one of the three unique mythological techniques created by Zhao Xuan, was meticulously constructed by drawing inspiration from the Great Wall of the previous life and the legendary Great Wall of the Primordial Era.
This steel Great Wall, meticulously constructed by Zhao Xuan, possesses three wondrous features:
Firstly, there is the suppression. The Great Wall of Steel and the Tai Chi Golden Bridge are similar in form. During the construction process, Zhao Xuan drew on the mysteries of the Chaos Bell of the Tai Chi Diagram, which has an incomparably powerful suppression force. Any enemy who tries to break through its defenses will be suppressed instantly and reduced to ashes.
Secondly, when marching, one can tread upon the Great Wall of Steel, and reach any place it extends to in an instant.
Although traversing the void and teleporting instantly are not uncommon among cultivators, whether they are cultivators in the Human Immortal Realm or the Primordial World, they only traverse the void within their own cave heaven or low-level areas.
Traveling through the void also carries certain dangers; one must constantly guard against spatial collapse and the resulting spatial turbulence.
For example, within an array, slightly more advanced arrays have the ability to control the space within the array, and traversing the void can easily lead to danger.
Moreover, just as some people can traverse the void, others can shatter it. Even if you are not within the formation, once the enemy senses you, they can use a sneak attack to send you into spatial turbulence.
In areas where spiritual energy is disordered, spatial particles are also disordered. Therefore, unless one is a highly accomplished being like Di Jiang who has a high level of understanding of spatial laws, the means of traversing the void are generally not used during battle.
Therefore, among the various arts of cultivation, one very important branch is the art of escape.
All powerful beings who can survive in perilous environments possess a formidable escape technique.
Among the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang are techniques such as Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations, Golden Light Escape from the Earth, the Great Escape of the Five Elements, and the Qimen Dunjia, as well as many other supernatural abilities related to escape techniques.
Thirdly, regarding manifestation, Zhao Xuan can directly manifest mythical figures and objects that he has thoroughly analyzed and interpreted on this Great Wall of Steel at will.
In this way, even when facing situations that require the simultaneous application of multiple complex laws, there is no need to first use the clone technique and then transform as before, thus avoiding the situation where one's strength is weakened due to the dispersion of energy.
Then there's the Fenglangjuxu, which can be considered the third and most wondrous continuation of the Great Wall of Steel.
It was to allow the mythical figures and objects manifested by the Great Wall of Steel to break free from its constraints and embark on a pursuit.
However, the Great Wall of Steel is ultimately only supported by a law at the level of primordial law. Therefore, the mythical figures and mythical objects that it manifests are not actually very powerful.
The method of sealing the wolf and residing in the Xu is similar to how the twelve ancestral witches condensed the phantom of Pangu by setting up the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation.
The manifested mythological figures and objects are merged into the image of a young man dressed in red robes, wearing silver armor, and riding a spirited horse.
This figure was none other than the young Marquis of Champion, who had already made great military achievements and won the title of Wolf-Dwelling Mountain at the age of twenty-two, but unfortunately died young at the age of twenty-four.
His figure was as brief and dazzling as a shooting star streaking across the sky, and as fleeting as a shooting star.
Once he breaks through the Great Wall of Steel, his survival time is extremely limited. But in that fleeting moment, he can utilize the power of the law to its peak, unleashing astonishing power a hundred or even a thousand times greater than usual.
Furthermore, the ever-sleeping Chang'an symbolizes the light of prosperity and hope.
When the process of sealing the wolf and residing in the Xu Kingdom comes to its final chapter, the changes in this third law power will also be triggered.
The once majestic and sturdy Great Wall of steel will be transformed into a magnificent city and a formidable pass.
The town shines brightly, its brilliance never fading; the flame of hope burns fiercely, never ceasing.
That immeasurable pass stands tall and indestructible, seemingly existing eternally in the world, and no force can break it.
Hope will never die, and neither will the formidable pass.
"Fenglang Juxu" is an unparalleled and extremely fierce offensive divine power, so powerful that it can tear the sky apart and shatter the stars; while "Chang'an Never Sleeps" is like an impregnable and unbreakable defensive barrier, capable of resisting all invading enemies.
The Great Wall of Steel, like a winding dragon, advances into the depths of chaos, but the direction it travels is not towards the realm of humans and immortals.
Zhao Xuan helped the human and immortal realms successfully overcome the crisis of the primordial invasion.
From that time on, he believed that his karmic ties with the Immortal Realm were settled and he had no intention of returning to the Immortal Realm.
Zhao Xuan found it difficult to feel any affection for the human-immortal realm, a place rife with competition for destiny and where all living beings were treated as pawns.
Because he knew that once he returned to the realm of immortals, whether he was willing or not, he would become an important bargaining chip for the human race and even the Great Zhao Heavenly Court to compete for fortune.
Moreover, Zhao Xuan now understands how naive and childish his past thoughts were: that once he achieved the status of a Mythical Golden Immortal, he would be invincible and could easily suppress the many conflicts between humans and demons.
Things that are obtained too easily are often not valued.
Even though Zhao Xuan successfully eliminated the demon race in the Human Immortal Realm with his powerful strength, and even destroyed the Great Dao, Heavenly Dao and Earthly Dao of the Human Immortal Realm, leaving only the Human Dao, he knew that this did not mean that the world would be at peace from then on.
Because once external conflicts disappear, internal conflicts will inevitably re-emerge and spread.
Moreover, these internal conflicts are often more disgusting and troublesome than external conflicts.
After all, people may be able to unite when faced with external threats; however, once the external threat is eliminated, various internal problems such as conflicts of interest and power struggles will spring up like mushrooms after rain.
Will Zhao Xuan then have to choose a side and annihilate all the humans who stand on the opposite side?
This approach clearly fails to address the root of the problem and may instead lead to more chaos and disaster.
Therefore, after careful consideration, Zhao Xuan decided not to return to the Immortal Realm for the time being, but instead embarked on the path of exploring Chaos.
He hoped to find a more advanced civilization in this vast chaos, a civilization capable of resolving all the contradictions in the world.
After communicating with Pangu, Zhao Xuan learned that not only did countless worlds exist in the chaos, but there was also a unique civilization formed by the gathering of chaotic beings.
Just as there are strong and weak civilizations in the world, there are also strong and weak civilizations.
Moreover, most of them are extremely chaotic.
Such a civilization once existed in the primordial land.
That was the civilization established by Pangu. Pangu wandered through the chaos and gathered thousands of demon gods of the same level, originally to explore a path to break through the laws of the boundless.
However, after countless years, people found it difficult to make any progress and lost their drive to break through.
Ultimately, everyone decided to break through the limitless by evolving the world.
To ensure success, a chaotic civilization decided to sacrifice itself to support one person in achieving the ultimate.
That is, when Pangu separated heaven and earth, three thousand demons and gods blocked his way.
In reality, it was not that the demon gods were obstructing the path, but rather that, under the guidance of the demon gods of fate, cause and effect, and reincarnation, they were merging their own power into the primordial world.
The nine thousand positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man are the transformations of the three thousand demon gods.
Similarly, the countless beings in the primordial world were also transformed from the three thousand demon gods.
When the primordial chaos has evolved and Pangu has achieved the limitless, he will be able to revive the three thousand demon gods through his attainment of Buddhahood.
