"In this world, there is a sixth primordial law... Could it be that our Great Enlightenment Immortal Path is not yet truly complete?"
Bi Xiao harbored great apprehension and fear towards Fang Ming.
Previously, she had believed that condensing a five-element primordial world, with its cycles of generation and destruction, was the pinnacle of the Great Enlightenment Immortal Path.
But now, she began to entertain a suspicion: perhaps the true completeness lay in the circulation of six energies, not five?
The thoughts of the San Xiao sisters aside for now.
Fang Ming, clad in five-colored armor that exuded boundless charm, stood upon the Immortal Emperor's throne, wielding the power of the Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal's five-element circulation. He swung his fists.
Boom!
An unimaginably terrifying aura erupted!
Incredible and inexplicable phenomena appeared around Fang Ming.
The might of this punch was such that even countless universes, as numerous as the grains of sand in the Ganges, could not withstand it for even a single instant. No being, no matter how proclaimed to be supreme, eternal, or invincible, appeared anything but fragile.
Nearly infinite, boundless temporal and spatial currents were utterly annihilated.
This was an offensive of almost multiversal scale!
The power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor could already scatter trillions of great universes with a mere breath, approaching the multiversal level.
And the power of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor combined with the Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal's power, while not truly reaching the multiversal level, had indeed infinitely approached it!
Infinitely approaching the multiversal level…
In this place devoid of time, space, and origin, such a fluctuation erupted.
When the concept of time was restored.
Fang Ming emerged from it.
The San Xiao Immortal Maidens, three Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, had been completely erased.
Their primordial worlds had been seized by Fang Ming.
Fifteen primordial worlds had merged into Fang Ming's body.
They were further decomposed and used to nurture Fang Ming's five primordial worlds.
"The Great Enlightenment Immortal Path reaches its end, its completeness, after condensing five primordial worlds," Fang Ming murmured, articulating his research on the Great Enlightenment Immortal Path.
"However, this is merely qualitative completeness, not quantitative completeness."
"After seizing the worlds of the three Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, my Great Enlightenment Immortal Path, though qualitatively unchanged, has quantitatively multiplied severalfold."
"If I was considered to have just entered the Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal realm before, I can now be called a mid-stage, or even late-stage, Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal."
"This is the quantitative change."
In Fang Ming's comprehension.
The Great Enlightenment Immortal Path originated from one primordial world, stabilized at three primordial worlds, and reached completeness at five primordial worlds.
But this did not mean that progress ceased after constructing five primordial worlds.
The "quantity" could still be increased.
It was just that without finding a further path, the increase in quantity was not very significant.
"What lies beyond the Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal realm?"
"Is it still the Great Enlightenment Immortal Path, or a promotion to a level transcending primordial laws?"
Fang Ming muttered to himself, "Who can tell me? The answer to this question."
As Fang Ming uttered these words.
Figures one by one began to appear.
Yuan Feng.
The Five Elements Demon Gods.
Jin Ling Sheng Mu.
Huo Ling Sheng Mu.
Ao Cunxin.
Hou Tu.
And many other women.
Among them, most were pseudo-Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals.
Only Hou Tu, Yuan Feng, and the Five Elements Demon Gods were true Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, like the San Xiao sisters.
As for what constitutes a pseudo-Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal?
One could understand the difference by looking at the description from the energy converter.
…
[Yuan Feng]
[Cultivation: Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal]
[Treasures: Dao artifact Fire Source Pearl…]
…
[Ao Cunxin]
[Cultivation: Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal (Pseudo, utilized primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi to construct the fifth primordial world, not through personal effort but external force)]
[Treasures: Dao artifact Bright Moon Immortal Pearl, Dao artifact Longevity Sword]
…
This was the information Fang Ming obtained from the energy converter.
It was clear that among Jin Bifeng's Dao companions, only Yuan Feng, Hou Tu, the Five Elements Demon Gods, and the now-deceased San Xiao sisters, a total of six, were true Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals.
They had all constructed their fifth primordial world through their own efforts, through their own cultivation, without relying on external forces.
As for Ao Cunxin, Jin Ling Sheng Mu, Huo Ling Sheng Mu, Yang Chan, Yao Ji, and dozens of other women, although they were Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, no longer comparable to mere Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, their achievements were due to external forces.
As for what these external forces were, it was clearly the so-called primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi. Fang Ming estimated that this primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi was similar to Hongjun's Hongmeng Purple Qi in the Great Desolation world. When a quasi-saint merged with Hongmeng Purple Qi, they transformed from a quasi-saint into a Heavenly Dao Saint.
These pseudo-Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals were likely those who were inherently incapable of constructing a fifth primordial world, like Li Daofu, stuck at the perfection of four elements, just one short.
Originally, these women, like Li Daofu, were at the peak of the Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal realm.
However, due to being Jin Bifeng's Dao companions, they had a backing and could take shortcuts, naturally obtaining the so-called "primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi."
The effect of this primordial Hongmeng Purple Qi was likely to assist peak Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals who were struggling to condense a fifth primordial world. With the help of the purple qi, they could construct the fifth primordial world using its power.
In this way, although the fifth primordial world was formed by external forces, and besides the primordial law, it was also filled with traces of purple qi.
The primordial law was formed by external forces, carrying the aura and the Dao of others. Therefore, although it could form the power of five-element circulation and make them invincible among Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, rendering them unharmed by any number of Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, their strength was still significantly lower than that of true Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals.
After all, four primordial laws that closely aligned with oneself, plus one external primordial law imbued with another's aura, formed a five-energy circulation that was naturally weaker than a true, legitimate five-energy circulation.
The most these pseudo-Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals could achieve was to be invincible among Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, making them difficult to harm by anyone below that realm, and perhaps ten of them could not contend against one true Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortal.
Beings like the San Xiao sisters could likely take on ten of them.
And for Fang Ming, even dozens of them attacking together would be mere fodder.
Three true Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, plus dozens of pseudo-Hunyuan Great Enlightenment Golden Immortals, stared at Fang Ming. This formation was even stronger than the combined might of the San Xiao sisters.
However, Fang Ming had been able to break the combined might of the San Xiao sisters.
He could naturally break this formation as well, as the enhancement was not significant.
Just as the atmosphere became tense, and the opposing side was about to make a move.
Fang Ming spoke softly.
"Jin Bifeng, Sect Leader Jin."
"Are you still unwilling to wake from your beautiful dream?"
From the depths of the void, a voice echoed.
A dream unwilling to end, when would it be willing to conclude?
When… would it be willing to conclude?
Jin Bifeng's figure, at some unknown time, appeared opposite Fang Ming.
Sect Leader Jin.
Ancient Saint Jin Bifeng.
He said to Fang Ming, "I never dream."
