The primordial era began with the mythological age.

On Lingjiu Mountain, Randeng, holding the Qiankun Ruler, gazed at the Netherworld, ultimately deciding not to make the journey. ✌😳 ➅➈ѕ𝓱𝔲乂.𝔠𝓞𝐦 ☟🐠

"Though I have attained enlightenment, the road ahead is uncertain!"

He sighed as he lit the lamp.

He wanted to try to become her disciple, but given the status of Consort Pingxin, he was afraid she would not accept him, so he gave up the idea.

Looking down at the Qiankun Ruler in his hand, Randeng felt a little puzzled as to why this Qiankun Ruler was connected to him.

Currently, the path He follows is neither the primordial principle of Heaven and Earth, nor one of the principles of Heaven and Earth.

"Could it be related to my true form?"

Ran Deng pondered to himself, "Could this be a deliberate hint from Donghuang?"

Imagine a palace lantern appearing on His shoulder, its base entirely dark, yet it is His companion spirit treasure, named the Coffin Lamp.

This treasure has the power to illuminate all of His/Her past.

But the lamp itself is a spirit that has been transformed from a coffin into a primordial deity, born to wield the Great Dao of Death.

The Netherworld was originally very suitable for him, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time and had no chance to have a place in the Netherworld.

Afterwards, He entered the Ruins of Return and found that the Ruins of Return also suited Him, but the Ruins of Return already had a master.

When Houtu transforms into a being in the cycle of reincarnation, and Guixu becomes part of that cycle, Guixu will no longer be suitable for her.

The paths that Randeng is most proficient in are the Path of Death and the Path of Light.

However, the path that is closer to the Innate Dao Realm is the Path of Light.

This is also because Taiyi Shi pacified the dark age, established the Heavenly Court, and quickly brought peace to the primordial world, so He prioritized the innate light.

The light of the coffin lamp illuminates the past, and the light of the great sun illuminates the present.

He desires to illuminate the past, present, and future with boundless light, enveloping everything, bringing them to oneness, and achieving the primordial light.

The light of the great sun is achieved through the true fire of the sun, but the light that illuminates the future has not yet been cultivated. It cannot unify the past, present, and future, and thus cannot cultivate the innate light for a long time.

If one cannot cultivate to the level of the Innate Light, there is no need to even think about the path ahead.

He had high expectations for his trip to the Treasure Dividing Rock, but he never expected to obtain the Qiankun Ruler, a primordial spiritual treasure.

This treasure is certainly not bad. Randeng also knows that this treasure is part of the treasure that the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth used to prove his Dao, but it is of no benefit to His Dao attainment.

Is it only suitable for severing the three corpses?

Thinking to himself, Ran Deng suddenly changed his form and transformed into a dusty gray stone coffin.

This is His true form.

The coffin lamp flew up and hung above the stone coffin. The light shone through the coffin lid, illuminating the scene inside.

Within this vast universe dwell countless beings, including celestial demons, earthly demons, human demons, as well as dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, and even gods and demons from beyond the heavens.

Some of these beings were killed by the lamp, and others were buried in the past.

By lighting lamps, one can also transform the great path of those whom He buried into one's own, thus greatly advancing one's own spiritual progress.

Some people exist in His past and are reflected in Him, such as the Yin-Yang Ancestor, Qiankun Ancestor, and Wuyuan Ancestor who have already fallen into oblivion.

The coffin lamp, the coffin, and the Qiankun Ruler also slowly rotated, their spiritual light descending and intertwining with the light of the coffin lamp, shining together into the coffin.

Suddenly, the universe inside the coffin trembled.

One of the figures inside froze.

It's the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth!

Ran Deng was shocked; the Qiankun Ruler had actually resonated with the Qiankun Ancestor.

However, the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth was a reflection of His own past, and it can be said that He only exists in His memories.

Now, resonating with the Qiankun Ruler, as time and space distort, the frozen Qiankun Ancestor also begins to distort, seemingly trying to step out of the past and revive with the help of the Qiankun Ruler.

"Is this the immense power of a Primordial Golden Immortal?"

Ran Deng was terrified. If the Ancestor of Qiankun were to be resurrected, he feared that his fate would not be good. He quickly cut off the power of the Qiankun Ruler.

In an instant, the Qiankun Ancestor inside the coffin was restored to normal.

Randeng let out a long sigh and thought to himself, "If this Qiankun Ruler were in its complete form as a supreme treasure, I'm afraid the Qiankun Ancestor could be revived."

Suddenly, a thought struck him: "Could my opportunity lie here?"

As a primordial deity who cultivated to the level of a Divine Venerable and a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his wisdom was naturally extraordinary. As soon as a trace of his spiritual energy appeared, wisps of spiritual light continuously emerged: "The Qiankun Ruler, if it weren't for the Qiankun Ancestor... Qian is Yang, Kun is Yin; Qian is life, Kun is death."

"Reversing life and death?"

"No, with my cultivation, under the laws of Heaven, unless one has buried the person I buried, there is no way to reverse life and death, or to resurrect the dead from the past into the present."

"But if there were no Heavenly Laws, no way to connect Yin and Yang, to connect the past and the present..."

The lamp was shaken to its core and immediately reverted from its coffin form to its Daoist form.

He reached out and grasped the Qiankun Ruler, looking at this magical treasure with delight: "Indeed, it is destined for me!"

But then Ran Deng's joy vanished: "However, the fact that the Qiankun Ruler chose me is probably related to the Qiankun Ancestor, or rather, to the Qiankun Ancestor of the past era reflected in the universe within my body."

"If I were to use the Qiankun Ruler to sever the corpse, I fear it might allow the Qiankun Ancestor to be resurrected."

Thinking about it, Ran Deng couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Immediately, He transformed His divine consciousness into a blade and slashed himself, erasing all his memories of the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth.

That is, to cut off the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth from His own memory.

This completely eliminates any future troubles!

Then, Randeng absorbed the Qiankun Ruler into his inner universe, activated this spiritual treasure, and together with the Coffin Lamp, connected Yin and Yang, past and present.

However, He does not intend to resurrect those immortals, gods, demons, or monsters that He buried within His own universe or that were reflected in His memory.

Lighting the lamp is simply a way of experiencing this change that runs through the past and present, comprehending the hidden mysteries within, and finding one's own path.

After a long while, the two magical treasures returned to calm, but Randeng couldn't help but shed tears: "I wish I had obtained these treasures sooner!"

Only now has He realized the most suitable path for the coffin and the coffin lamp.

What a pity!

After a moment of lapse in composure, Randeng quickly regained his composure and pondered, "The universe within the body can be recreated, but with my current attainments in the Dao of Divine Consciousness, I am unable to create a past world."

The Path of Divine Consciousness!

In the primordial world today, as far as Randeng knows, the one most proficient in the Dao of Divine Sense is naturally Emperor Tai.

However, the Thai King is currently in charge of the battlefield of all realms, and His ranking in the universe of thought is not yet qualified to ask the Thai King for advice.

"Next is the Primordial Demon Lord, the creator of innate divine consciousness. Then comes the Demon Ancestor Rahu..."

Ran Deng then ruled out both options.

After that came Indra, Myo-yin, and several other beings who had attained enlightenment and whose divine consciousness was innate.

Should one choose one of them to consult or become their apprentice?

Di Deng shook his head inwardly. Indra, Myo-yin, and others had been subdued by the Thai Emperor and transformed from demons into gods.

Currently, they are clashing with the demonic forces of the Heavenly Demon Realm, yet they are also colluding with each other, seemingly even wanting to become one with the divine?

"Fellow Daoist Zhunti previously said he would establish a new cultivation system using the Dao of Divine Consciousness, but I wonder if he has succeeded yet?"

Having already made his choice, Randeng immediately left Lingjiu Cave and headed towards Mount Sumeru.

Back then, He studied the Dao of Divine Consciousness alongside Jieyin and Zhunti, and their friendship was quite deep. (End of Chapter)
