Chapter 42: A Hundred Thousand Years to Achieve Da Luo – The Shock of the Six Sages
The myriad worlds endure eternally, untouched by cycles of reincarnation or annihilation. Unless one possesses power far surpassing the multiverse itself, they are unending.
Thus, within these worlds, those who attain the Da Luo realm are eternally preserved, representing the zenith of all systems and the ultimate limit one can achieve.
“Could it truly be the Golden Crow Prince of the Heavenly Court? How is that possible?”
The mighty beings of the Primordial World were left bewildered, unable to determine who had triggered the celestial phenomenon or who had ascended to the Da Luo realm.
However, the six Sages, being one with the Dao, had their awareness transcend the confines of the Primordial World. In their gaze, nothing within the cosmos remained hidden.
At this moment, they discerned the source of the phenomenon—it was caused by Xia Tian.
As the boundless aura of Da Luo emanated from Xia Tian, even the six Sages were left deeply shaken.
The ever-calm Laozi trembled, his hand slipping as the cauldron of Nine-Turn Golden Elixirs he had been refining exploded with a loud bang. Instantly, endless radiance spilt out, birthing and annihilating countless worlds in an instant.
This incident, a literal “cauldron explosion,” would surely reverberate across the Primordial World, given Laozi’s reputation as the foremost alchemist of the realm. That a Sage, no less, had such an error was almost unthinkable.
Such was the shock brought about by Xia Tian’s ascension to Da Luo.
Even Laozi, who had spent countless aeons cultivating from an innate being to a Da Luo, could not contain his astonishment. Xia Tian, in stark contrast, had achieved Da Luo in merely 100,000 years—an inconceivably brief span in the vast timeline of the cosmos.
“Is the Golden Crow lineage truly so exceptional?” In the Jade Void Palace, Yuan Shi Tianzun frowned as his gaze fell upon Xia Tian, who was now within the Human Clan’s Sacred Hall. The overwhelming presence of Da Luo radiating from Xia Tian left him visibly unsettled.
To Yuan Shi Tianzun, Xia Tian was but a youth, barely over 100,000 years old—a mere blink of an eye compared to the ageless beings of the Primordial World. Most high-level entities measured their age in aeons, some even tracing their origins to the chaotic epoch before the heavens and earth were formed.
Yet these ancient beings, with their immeasurable age and experience, had failed to reach Da Luo. In contrast, Xia Tian’s meteoric rise was unparalleled, surpassing 99% of the high-ranking gods and demons of the Primordial World.
Even Yuan Shi Tianzun, high and aloof as he was, felt a strong urge to capture and study Xia Tian, suspecting some incredible secret lay hidden within him.
After all, even within his own sect, only the Vice Sect Leader, Ran Deng Dao Ren, had reached the Da Luo realm, and even then, as a relatively ordinary Da Luo. Other disciples, such as Nanji Xianweng and Yunzongzi, remained innate Dao Lords, while the fabled Twelve Golden Immortals had only a few who had advanced to the Golden Immortal realm.
But now, a mere prince of the Heavenly Court, barely 18 years into his birth, had already reached Da Luo. Such a feat was utterly inconceivable.
Even the most prideful Yuan Shi Tianzun could not help but marvel. The detached Laozi as well had to express his shock—albeit unintentionally—with a cauldron explosion.
Yuan Shi Tianzun’s curiosity burned brighter. Could he capture Xia Tian and unravel the enigma of his success? However, the presence of Nuwa Sage within the demon clan stayed his hand. He knew that if he acted against the demons, Nuwa would not stand idly by.
“If only such talent could join my Jie Sect…” In the Jade Pool Palace on Jin’ao Island, Tongtian Jiaozhu gazed towards the Human Clan with a mix of admiration and regret.
If Xia Tian could join his sect, Tongtian would readily grant him the position of Vice Sect Leader. Da Luo was certainly worthy of such honour.
The greatest astonishment, however, came from the Western Two Sages.
On Mount Ling in the West, Jieyin and Zhunti turned their attention to Xia Tian within the Human Clan’s Sacred Hall. Their gazes met, reflecting the mutual shock in their hearts.
“The East is truly blessed with outstanding talent!”
“If this child were to join our Western Sect, the prosperity of our teachings would know no bounds!” Zhunti’s eyes gleamed with avarice as he gazed upon Xia Tian.
The young Da Luo was a rare gem. If he could be persuaded to join the Western Sect, its future ascension was assured. Zhunti even considered journeying to the East himself to bring Xia Tian into the fold.
Both Sages marvelled at how Xia Tian had achieved Da Luo—a feat considered nearly impossible. Since the dawn of creation, the Primordial World had seen countless innate Dao Lords, yet those who ascended to Da Luo could be counted on one hand.
Only beings of exceptional origin, such as the Beast Emperor Shen Ni, the Four Great Chaos Beasts, or the progenitors of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes, had managed to reach Da Luo. Others, like the Demon Ancestor Luohou and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, were similarly extraordinary.
In the endless expanse of infinite dimensions, even the emergence of a single Da Luo was exceedingly rare. Most high-ranking gods and demons could only dream of such heights. For ordinary high-ranking entities, reaching innate Dao Lord status was already a monumental achievement, let alone Da Luo.
The vastness of the myriad worlds and dimensions emphasised the near-impossibility of achieving Da Luo. Yet Xia Tian had defied these astronomical odds, ascending to a realm that ensured his eternal survival, transcending the limits of fate, causality, and time.
For as long as the myriad worlds endured, so too would Da Luo.
