Chapter 109 Great Luo Golden Immortal
"Screech!"
Just as Suirenshi was about to be blasted out of the Fire Element Space, a sharp bird cry suddenly rang out, carrying a terrifying majesty that swept across the eight wastelands.
Upon hearing this sound, the Great Luo Golden Immortals abandoned their attack on Suirenshi and stopped what they were doing, looking with astonishment and uncertainty into the depths of the Fire Element Space.
There, a ball of seven-colored light slowly rose, burning like flames, radiant and dazzling, with the image of a phoenix manifesting, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.
"That's... a phoenix?!"
"What's going on?"
"Since ancient times, this being has relinquished the position of Dao Lord and lived in seclusion. Why would it suddenly appear today?"
"What exactly happened?"
"Could it be... that it wants to regain the position of Dao Lord? But, at its level of strength, the position of Dao Lord is already dispensable. It shouldn't personally intervene to compete with us, the Dao Lords, right?"
The phoenix's appearance caused a flurry of thoughts and doubts among the Great Luo Golden Immortals, who constantly speculated on its purpose.
After all, the phoenix's reputation was too great. If it personally intervened, the position of Dao Lord would be out of reach for the Great Luo Golden Immortals present.
Unfortunately, the phoenix did not answer their questions, only glancing at them with a cold gaze.
"Not good!"
"The one who attained Dao is related to the phoenix!"
At this moment, the Great Luo Golden Immortals suddenly understood the phoenix's purpose, but it was too late.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the phoenix's gaze, these Great Luo Dao images shattered, transforming back into clusters of innate fire. It would likely take several thousand years for them to recover and re-form into Dao images.
"Thank you, Dao Venerable!"
Suirenshi, who had escaped the crisis, hurriedly thanked the phoenix.
"It's nothing!" "
Since I have promised to protect the human race, how can I allow them to hinder your path to enlightenment?" The phoenix nodded to Suirenshi, and its Dao images slowly disappeared.
"With Zichen here, how fortunate the human race is!" After standing quietly for a while, Suirenshi sighed.
How could he not understand that the phoenix's assistance today was entirely due to Feng Zichen's teachings that day?
Putting aside his extraneous thoughts, Suirenshi focused all his efforts on proving the Dao. Bearing so much, he could not allow failure.
Boom!
The primordial fire continuously flew out from his body, merging into the fire elemental space. Gradually, a spark of primordial fire appeared in the void. Although it could not compare with other innate fires, it was slowly growing stronger.
Meanwhile, within the Fire Element Space, all sorts of insights into the Dao of Fire surged into Suirenshi's true spirit, impacting his spiritual platform.
This was the third tribulation in the path to becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the tribulation of Dao Transformation, and also the most dangerous one!
Facing the impact of the Dao's insights, if one could endure it, one could become a Great Luo Golden Immortal in one fell swoop, and from then on, live a carefree and unrestrained life in the world. If one could not endure it,
one's spiritual platform would shatter, one's consciousness would be obliterated by the Dao's insights, and one would transform into the Dao, becoming part of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
This tribulation was a mixture of opportunity and danger, the most perilous of all.
But that was for others. For someone of Suirenshi's great merit, this tribulation only presented an opportunity, without any danger.
Golden light of merit shimmered within his body, enveloping his spiritual platform, protecting his clarity no matter how the Dao's insights impacted him, allowing him to fully digest these Dao's insights.
A hundred years later, within the Fire Element Space, the Firewood completely transformed into the likeness of Suirenshi, representing the addition of a branch called the Dao of Firewood on the path of fire in the world.
Then, Suirenshi's figure suddenly vanished from this place and returned to his physical body.
Brilliant Dao light rose from his body, exuding an aura of immortality and indestructibility. His majestic momentum burst forth, sweeping across all directions, shaking the heavens and the earth.
At this moment, humanity had its own Great Luo Golden Immortal—Suirenshi.
With a whoosh, the River of Destiny appeared.
In the misty river, the light representing Suirenshi transformed into a flame, leaping above the water, transcending it, and disappearing.
"The River of Destiny has manifested again; has a new Great Luo Golden Immortal been born?"
"Is it a demon? Or a witch?"
Sensing the birth of a new Great Luo Golden Immortal, the powerful beings who had been sitting in meditation showed slight fluctuations, looking towards the River of Destiny to see who had transcended it and become their fellow Daoist.
"Hiss..."
"That new Great Luo Golden Immortal is actually human!"
"It's only been a few hundred thousand years since Nuwa created humanity, yet humanity has already produced a Great Luo Golden Immortal? How can his cultivation speed be so fast?"
"Truly worthy of being a creation of a sage, truly extraordinary!"
Discovering that the new Great Luo Golden Immortal was human, the powerful beings couldn't help but feel curious. What kind of power could enable a creation born later to reach the Great Luo realm in just a few hundred thousand years?
Thinking this, the once calm and composed hearts of these powerful beings were stirred, unable to remain serene. With a hint of shock, they all looked towards the human race.
"Hmph!"
Inside the Nuwa Palace, seeing everyone so brazenly spying on the human race, Nuwa felt displeased and let out a cold snort.
Instantly, the gazes directed at the human race shattered, and the powerful beings smiled awkwardly, no longer daring to spy on the human race.
"Now that Suiren has attained enlightenment, as the Holy Mother of the Human Race, I cannot fail to reward him."
After warning the powerful beings, Nuwa thought for a moment and said to the beautiful woman in palace attire beside her:
"Golden Phoenix, you will go to the human race on my behalf and bring the three ancestors of the human race to the Nuwa Palace."
"In recent years, the human race has developed well under their rule, and I naturally must show my appreciation."
The beautiful woman in palace attire nodded, bowed to Nuwa, and said, "Your Majesty's decree!"
After speaking, she turned and left the Nuwa Palace, transforming into a golden phoenix and flying towards the primordial land. "
...
Congratulations, elder brother, on attaining the Great Luo realm! From now on, you will be immortal and indestructible, living a carefree life!"
Outside the ancestral temple of the human race, seeing that all the turmoil had subsided, the Youchao and Ziyi clans, their faces beaming with joy, quickly entered the hall to congratulate Suiren.
"Haha! Second brother, third sister, you're too kind!"
Having successfully entered the Great Luo realm, even with Suiren's composure, he couldn't hide his excitement and couldn't help but smile.
"Having met you today, elder brother, I realize the vastness of the Great Luo realm, which is beyond the comprehension of Taiyi. I was truly like a frog in a well before."
Seeing Suiren's figure, Youchao's pupils shrank, and he sighed with some envy.
At this moment, Suiren's temperament was lofty and profound, like the Great Dao itself, his whole body surrounded by Dao light; every move he made was in harmony with heaven and earth, giving people a feeling of boundless vastness.
"Indeed, without achieving the Great Luo realm, one will never know its power. The past, present, and future are all contained within it—a power that even a Taiyi Golden Immortal cannot attain!"
Sensing the changes within himself, Suirenshi agreed.
"However, second brother and third sister, there's no need for envy. I sense a great opportunity is approaching; perhaps your chance to attain enlightenment lies within it."
Seeing their somewhat downcast mood, Suirenshi comforted them.
