Chapter 222: Chapter 221: After Thirty Years of ’Bitter Cultivation’, Finally Stepped into the Realm of Golden Immortal!

Nezha gathered his thoughts and dared not overthink, continuing to climb upward.

The gap was too vast. As for whether these innate spirits had human emotions or love, he couldn’t say for certain.

He kept climbing upward, and the closer he got to the peak, the more intense the pressure became. With Yunxiao alongside him, Nezha expended all his strength to finally scale the summit.

Is there no pressure at the top?

Wrong!

Not only did it not disappear, but it became even stronger.

As soon as Nezha reached the summit, he was directly pressed to the ground, resulting in a face-first fall.

Seeing the area above was safe, Yunxiao untied the Huntian Silk, climbed down from Nezha’s back, and, leaning on the Flowing Cloud Sword, shakily made an effort to stand upright.

Although she had been carried by Nezha the entire way, the prolonged pressure had tormented her to the point that it still brought benefits. Compared to before, her origin had solidified significantly.

Anyone who wanted to extract her origin again would face much greater difficulty.

Without Yunxiao’s added pressure, Nezha adapted briefly and felt considerably better.

Nezha stood up and, following the summoning sensation, began walking forward.

Beyond the peak, there was a cliff edge, and below it lay a ravine. Within the ravine, a hazy sound of the Great Dao ebbed and flowed.

As Nezha contemplated how to retrieve it, a sudden roar exploded in his ears, deafening and shocking. Then he directly fell into a high-level state of enlightenment.

In this era when the Great Dao is obscure, the roar seemed to contain countless mysteries, yet simultaneously felt like a mere sound of encouragement, faintly resonating with the Power Dao Seed within him.

The Dao Seed inside Nezha was rapidly refined. The Five Elements Dao Seeds and Space Dao Seed dissipated quickly, transforming into nutrients to nourish Nezha’s Power Dao and False Dao.

The Power Dao was extraordinarily dominant, directly occupying the center of Nezha’s Divine Soul, while the False Dao Seed obediently played the role of an auxiliary sidekick.

Nezha’s Five Qi, which had already achieved perfection, became even more abundant, and the Three Flowers atop his head grew fuller. As the sound of the Great Dao continually cleansed him, he finally reached the zenith at one moment.

Under the mingling of Five Qi and Three Flowers, Nezha condensed a silver-gray Dao Fruit.

Bottlenecks?

The Three Disasters?

The Heart Demon Tribulation?

All were swept away by the sound of the Great Dao.

Nezha had "diligently cultivated" for thirty years and had finally entered the Golden Immortal realm!

He formed his own Dao Fruit, left his mark upon the Great Dao, and gained a certain degree of immortality.

When Nezha awakened, he was slightly astonished that his breakthrough was so effortless, even easier than when he entered the Profound Immortal realm. But upon reflecting on this opportunity, he found it quite reasonable.

To him, this phenomenon could be understood as the Sound of the Great Dao if spoken poetically, or, crudely, as Pangu’s Roar.

It was nurtured from the pharyngeal bones Pangu God left behind after creating the heavens, meant to enlighten Primordial Beings.

When Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun carried out his teachings, it was one of Primordial’s most famous events—the three lectures at Zixiao Palace. Back then, the three thousand guests at Zixiao Palace were the top Great Experts in Primordial (the "three thousand" here is a metaphorical number).

Of course, there aren’t many left in today’s Primordial.

But teaching wasn’t something Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun invented; the first was actually Pangu God, as Primordial needed growth and progress.

This was Pangu God’s hope for all beings.

When Daoist Ancestor Hong Jun carried out teachings, he first issued a notice, then let those with fate come to listen. Then he lectured endlessly—were you able to understand?

How much you could comprehend?

That was up to you.

To be humane, he divided the lessons into three sessions, giving students time to digest the teaching.

Afraid his direct disciples wouldn’t grasp it, he even provided cushions to take notes.

But Pangu, this straightforward brute, wouldn’t follow Hong Jun’s example. His method was blunt—he simply roared a note.

If you had high comprehension, you could naturally glean much wisdom from it. If you were foolish, it was like Pangu God personally saying to you, "Young man, keep pushing forward!" with encouragement.

Pangu God was just that simple and direct!

Nezha speculated that back in the day, Kunpeng must have relied on that first Sound of the Great Dao to comprehend the Devouring Dao, thereafter growing like a greedy snake, devouring endlessly until he reached his current state.

That’s not to say his original foundation wasn’t good; if it were bad, he wouldn’t have been able to comprehend the Sound of the Great Dao. It merely means that this Sound of the Great Dao truly gave him an extra cheat code.

As long as he kept devouring, his blessings, comprehension, foundation, and origin continued to soar.

It’s just unfortunate that he ran into the permissions gatekeeper Daoist Ancestor.

Kunpeng’s Devouring Dao was akin to the Ancestor of Nether River’s Slaughter Dao, both utterly useless to Primordial. The fact that he didn’t personally bury the two of them is a blessing.

Still want to rampage through devouring and killing?

You’re dreaming!

The luckiest of all is the Ancestor of Nether River. You must know that the previous practitioner of the Slaughter Dao was none other than Demon Ancestor Luo Hou!

For you to survive until now, you should be thanking the heavens and the earth.

Nezha stood up and surveyed the area. Who knows how many Yuan Hui must pass before the next Sound of the Great Dao is birthed?

"Sister Yun, let’s leave."

At this moment, Yunxiao’s garments were slightly damp with sweat, yet she still made an effort to maintain her upright posture, smiling softly and replying affirmatively.

Is this the stubbornness of a lady?

The two departed from Pangu’s pharyngeal bones, but outside was not the space they initially entered—it had transformed into an oceanic world.

The only constant was that dual-layer pressure of body and spirit.

Upon arriving here, Yunxiao’s condition improved significantly, though she still hadn’t dismounted from Nezha’s shoulders.

Neither said anything, and neither brought it up.

Nezha carried Yunxiao around for a while but found no spatial node to exit. Instead, he discovered a sealed island. The island was gigantic, surrounded by the skeletal remains of two giant dragons.

Nezha’s proficiency in arrays was not weak, but Yunxiao’s mastery of arrays was significantly more formidable.

After observing through several loops, they concluded that the island seemed to contain some form of seal.

Yunxiao tilted her head toward Nezha and said, "Judging by the methods, it should be Kunpeng’s handiwork. It’s unclear what might be sealed inside."

Nezha sensed that something inside faintly resonated with the divine status of Taihuangtian, speculating it might relate to a deity devoured by Kunpeng.

"Why don’t we open it up and find out?"

Yunxiao nodded faintly. "The enemy of our enemy is a friend. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll simply fight it. Something sealed for countless Yuan Hui can’t be that strong."

After all, there was only one immortal cockroach-like Demon Ancestor Luo Hou in Primordial.

Under Yunxiao’s guidance, coupled with Nezha’s use of the Mountain Opening Axe and the inward-oriented nature of the array, they quickly tore through its defenses.

Deep blue Spirit Light shattered, revealing its true form.

Nezha gazed at the creature inside, astonished by the surreal sight.

A fish’s body with human-like hands, resembling a whale.

Is it you?

Gaiouka?

Have you also crossed into Primordial?
