"I'll answer your second question first. The Immortal Scripture is not a technique of the Three Realms. It comes from the Primal Chaos and was not created by Yuan Ling."
Patriarch Subhuti finally answered Ye Xuan's second question. Then, he looked at Ye Xuan with a heavy gaze and said, "As for the Way of Proving Dao through strength, I can tell you a secret that even Saints don't know."
"Please enlighten me, Patriarch." Ye Xuan bowed once more, and his expression became extremely solemn. This was because this was related to his future cultivation path.
"No one in the Three Realms has ever walked the Way of Proving Dao through strength. Even my disciple Wukong destroyed this path. I'm sure you already know about this."
"The one who truly walked this path was the great god Pangu. He walked the Way of Proving Dao through strength, but he failed in the end and his cultivation turned into all things in the world."
"The so-called Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao is just a general term. In fact, one has to go through nine tribulations of life and death in order to prove one's status as a Saint," Patriarch Subhuti murmured softly.
"You mean to say that the great god Pangu of the past was not a Saint?" Ye Xuan's expression changed greatly and his eyes trembled slightly. Clearly, he did not dare to believe the secret that Patriarch Subhuti had revealed.
"Yes, the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao. The great god Pangu failed to pass the Ninth Tribulation. It was because of his failure that the Untainted World was born. Therefore, the great god Pangu was not a Saint. To be honest, he was only a Sage-to-be," Patriarch Subhuti said with certainty.
"Nine tribulations of life and death. Only by breaking the cycle of life and death can one truly transcend and become the Saint of all Saints." Patriarch Subhuti sighed.
"The so-called Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao are not really the tribulations that the Heavenly Dao bestows on you. The nine tribulations are different, but they all have one thing in common, which is to fight to live after death."
"The Nine Tribulations of Life and Death reverse the universe. Therefore, the Way of Proving Dao through strength is also called the Nine Tribulations of Becoming Saint," Patriarch Subhuti said in a heavy voice.
"Fight to live after death? Nine Transformations Holy Technique? "
Ye Xuan mumbled to himself. He suddenly thought of the time when he was converted by the Two Saints of the West. At that time, he was already facing certain death, and that was his first tribulation of the Heavenly Path.
"Thank you, Ancestral Master. I understand."
Ye Xuan's thoughts turned, and his eyes gradually became clear. Today, with Patriarch Bodhi's guidance, he finally had a new understanding of the Nine Tribulations of the Heavenly Dao. This would also make his future path of cultivation clear.
Looking at the excitement on Ye Xuan's face, Patriarch Subhuti lightly shook his head. A trace of regret and pity appeared in his eyes. Although this emotion of Patriarch Subhuti disappeared in a flash, it was still captured by Ye Xuan.
"May I know why Patriarch sighed?" Ye Xuan asked in a low voice.
"Sigh!"
Patriarch Subhuti let out a long sigh, then looked at Ye Xuan and said, "You seem to have embarked on the Way of Proving Dao through strength, but in the end, you only made a wedding dress for someone else. This old man only regrets that you will end up with your soul scattered on this path."
"Yuan Ling?" Ye Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly, already guessing the meaning behind Patriarch Subhuti's words.
"At the beginning of the Yuan, all living things are spirits. The title Yuan Ling is just his delusion, and you can achieve what you have today because of him. Without Yuan Ling, there would be no Ye Xuan. Therefore, you owe him karma from beginning to end, and this karma is so great that you will have to repay it with your life." Patriarch Subhuti sighed.
Upon hearing Patriarch Subhuti's words, Ye Xuan fell silent. At his current level, even if Patriarch Subhuti did not say anything, he could already feel the karma between him and Yuan Ling.
Ye Xuan knew very well that if Yuan Ling had not appeared in his youth, he would have turned into a pile of bones long ago. Yuan Ling had completely changed him during the four years of the Blood Sea Battlefield. It could be said that his cultivation was bestowed upon him by Yuan Ling.
This was the so-called cycle of karma. Whether it was a favor or a calamity, he had to repay it. This was the destiny of karma. Even if he became the Saint of Saints, he could not escape the power of karma, because this was the truth of the universe.
"Tell me, who is Yuan Ling's real body?" Ye Xuan asked solemnly, looking straight at Patriarch Subhuti. This was also the question he wanted to know the most.
"He came from the Chaos and came here in search of immortality. I don't know who he is, but his shadow has been behind every great calamity since the beginning of time." Patriarch Subhuti let out a long sigh.
"I find it strange. Even the Saints don't know about his existence. Why do you know about it, Patriarch? I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?" Ye Xuan said sharply.
"When the Chaos was born, I was a Bodhi tree in the Chaos. Although I was ignorant at that time, I still had some memories of the Chaos. Yuan Ling has existed longer than the Great God Pangu. He was originally a character from the Chaos. If you really want to know his identity, perhaps the only way is to reverse time and space and find his real body before the Heaven and Earth were created." Patriarch Subhuti laughed self-deprecatingly.
After hearing Patriarch Subhuti's words, Ye Xuan pondered on the spot. Yuan Ling became more and more mysterious in his heart. An old monster who had lived longer than the Great God Pangu was too terrifying.
"Young friend, if you listen to my advice and want to break free from this person's control, then cripple the Undying Immortal Scripture you cultivate and sever all your karma with him. Only in this way can you break free from his hands. Otherwise, even if you can become a Saint in the future, at that time, he will definitely ask you for your karma. In the end, you will only be paving the way for him."
Patriarch Subhuti solemnly advised Ye Xuan, because this was the only way Ye Xuan could get rid of Yuan Ling.
"Abolish the Immortal Scripture, become a mortal, and walk the path of cultivation again?" Ye Xuan murmured to himself, a self-deprecating smile appearing on his face.
"Impossible!"
Suddenly, Ye Xuan's expression turned gloomy as he spoke in a powerful voice.
If it was when he had just become an immortal, Ye Xuan might have accepted Patriarch Subhuti's suggestion. However, now that he had reached this point, it could be said that he was treading on thin ice and was in danger of dying at any time. If he were to cripple the Immortal Scripture now, not to mention walking on the path of cultivation, it wouldn't be long before he would die between heaven and earth.
Nüwa and Yuanshi wanted to kill him, the Two Sages of the West were plotting against him, and the members of the 33rd Celestial Court were waiting for his return. Moreover, there were the enmity of various orthodoxies against him. If he were to lose his cultivation, how would he face all these things?
"Little friend, take care of yourself. This is all this old man has to say." Patriarch Subhuti shook his head in disappointment. Since Ye Xuan was unwilling to abolish the Immortal Scripture, it meant that he would not have a good ending in the future. No matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless.
