Chapter 5: Pangu's Emergence with the Daoist Teachings

  Zhang Xue flew quickly towards the direction of Pangu's egg, wanting to see Pangu's birth, and his speed was getting faster and faster. Because Zhang Xue felt that the fluctuations of the mark he left behind were getting more and more intense, in this situation, it wouldn't be long before Pangu would be born.

  As the distance drew near, the fluctuations of the seal grew stronger and stronger. Just as Pangu was about to be born, our protagonist finally felt it in time. The giant egg in front of him shook violently, and the chaotic air around him also fluctuated violently, with an overwhelming momentum.

  The egg's fluctuations became more and more intense, and the mark left by Zhang Xue on its surface had long been shattered. Suddenly, the egg stopped fluctuating, and with a loud "crack", it split into two halves. A rough and wild figure jumped out from inside, his entire body rippling with muscles, emitting a metallic luster, and every move exuding an aura of power. At the same time, a desolate and ancient atmosphere filled the surroundings, making people feel suffocated, and a sense of reverence rose from the depths of their hearts.

  But Zhang Xue seemed to feel nothing, looking at Pangu with a curious gaze, who was only the size of her palm.

  "Is this the Chaos First? The muscles all over his body are indeed impressive, just look at those metallic luster muscles, who can compare to that? And the lower part of his body, it's simply making men feel inferior, too damn majestic!" Zhang Xue gazed at Pangu with shining eyes.

  Pangu was seen with his whole body hair standing on end, having caught a chill. Fortunately, Pangu did not know about the existence of glass people at that time; otherwise, he would have run as fast and as far as possible.

  Pangu came naked before Zhang Xue and said "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for guarding me for billions of years. I dare not forget."

  "It's nothing, I also need to find a place to refine my innate spiritual treasure first, don't worry about it hehe." Although she said this with her mouth, in her heart she was still quite puzzled. "This Pangu just came out and already knows the term 'fellow daoist', this is too unbelievable, let's ask later."

  "Come on, weren't you still in your egg back then? How would you know about things outside? And how did you even know the term 'Daoist friend'?"

  "Friends of the Tao, you don't know that at that time I hadn't been born yet, but I could already sense everything outside. That's how I knew about your protective kindness. Moreover, my congenital treasure, the creative jade butterfly, possesses a lot of great Tao information." Pangu replied casually.

  After finishing speaking, he pointed at Zhang Xue's black head before she could react. A purple light shot out from Pangu's fingertips and entered Zhang Xue's mind.

  At that moment, countless information surged out and frantically poured into Zhang Xue's soul, merging with it. Countless cultivation secrets, various innate spiritual root information, array methods, equipment refinement, pill concoction, and all sorts of secret techniques flowed through Zhang Xue's heart, leaving deep impressions that couldn't be forgotten even if she wanted to. For a time, she was deeply entranced, frantically absorbing this knowledge. It must be known that from crossing over into the chaotic world until now, Zhang Xue didn't have any cultivation secrets or scriptures; everything was based on what she had seen before that seemed reasonable and her own abilities in cultivation. She basically didn't know about array methods, pill concoction, equipment refinement, and other things. Now, suddenly having all of this was like a pie falling from the sky, leaving her dazed and confused. At the same time, Zhang Xue also came to understand some of the divisions of cultivation realms.

  Ordinary people must go through refining essence into energy, refining energy into spirit, refining spirit back to emptiness, and refining emptiness to merge with the Tao to achieve the fruit of the heavenly immortal way.

  Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Taiyi Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal (Sage), Heavenly Way, Great Way.

  Zhang Xue was lying there, absorbing the knowledge from Pangu with all her might, while Pangu sat down beside her, waiting for Zhang Xue to wake up.

  Time flies by in a hurry, and with a blink of an eye, several years have passed. Zhang Xue also woke up from the ocean of various secret methods.

  Pangu looked to the side and said gratefully, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for your selflessness in passing on various cultivation secrets. Here, please accept a bow from me." After finishing speaking, he turned towards Pangu and performed an ancient ritual.

  "No need for excessive courtesy, fellow Daoist. I also see that you seem to be unclear about how to cultivate. If I were to impart some trivial cultivation secrets to you after protecting you for billions of years, what's wrong with that?"

  "This poor Taoist thanks you here."

  "It's just a small matter, don't mind it." After finishing speaking, he looked up and down at Zhang Xue with a puzzled expression: "Fellow Taoist doesn't cultivate, why is his physical body so strong, even I am far inferior to him. I'm afraid that even if I use the Heaven-Opening Axe now, I still can't break through Fellow Taoist's shell."

  Zhang Xue was overjoyed after hearing that, thinking to himself: "Look at Pangu's physical body, it can't even compare to mine. Even the Heaven-Cleaving Axe can't crack open my turtle shell!" He thought to himself that his safety was now guaranteed. And so he completely revealed his divine powers to Pangu.

  "Originally, fellow daoist had such incredible divine abilities, no wonder the physical body is so extraordinary. Today, it really opened my eyes wide. Using the power of the soul to refine and transform all things, strengthening one's own soul and physique is truly remarkable. Unfortunately, success due to divine abilities also means failure due to divine abilities. Fellow daoist may not be able to cultivate in the future, and wanting to transform into a physical form will be extremely difficult." Pan Gu sighed and said.

  Zhang Xue hastily asked, "Why can't I cultivate anymore and it's also very difficult for me to transform?"

  "Don't be impatient, fellow Taoist, listen to me slowly."

  Can't you just be patient? It's not like it's your own problem anyway.

  "The main reason why fellow Taoists can't cultivate the Tao is still due to their divine powers. Every time a fellow Taoist activates their divine power, it consumes soul force and refines it into treasure. After the treasure is fully refined, half of the consumed soul force returns to the sea of consciousness, while the other half merges with the body to strengthen it."

  "What you said is right, but I think it should be fine."

  "The reason why Taoist friends can't cultivate the Tao is right here. We Taoists cultivate our original spirit to leave the body, merge with nature and all things, comprehend the great principle of the Tao, enter the river of fate, know the past and future, and understand how to avoid disasters. But every time a Taoist friend uses their spiritual powers, it's actually a fusion of their soul and physical body. Over time, the Taoist friend's physical body is assimilated by their soul, so that there's no distinction between self and others. Now, the Taoist friend's original spirit can't leave their body at all, so how can they cultivate the Tao?"

  Xue Zhang thought to herself, "It's frustrating that it sounds so much like the Wu tribe. The only difference is that I still have my yuan spirit and can't leave my body, while the Wu tribe only has their true spirit. Everything else is pretty much the same. Whatever, not knowing the past or future doesn't mean I won't be able to comprehend the Tao. And even if I try to comprehend it, I probably wouldn't be able to figure out anything anyway. It's better this way, turning my defense into invincibility and just being a turtle. Easy and carefree."

  Thinking of this, I feel much better, and asked: "What about the transformation?"

  Pangu looked at me and said, "The problem of transforming into a shape is also related to the divine power. The divine power of the Taoist friend is not ordinary in strengthening the body. To put it simply, the divine power of the Taoist friend can transform what was originally not a congenital spiritual root into a congenital spiritual root or even a chaotic spiritual root, causing fundamental changes. As everyone knows, the better the foundation, the harder it is to transform into a shape. The Taoist friend was originally a Chaotic Demon God with a deep foundation, and now strengthened by the divine power."

  Listening to this, Zhang Xue's heart felt cool and refreshing. If she couldn't transform before her beautiful dream would really become a flower in the mirror or water, wouldn't that be truly tragic?

  "Is there no way?"

  "It's indeed on the body of fellow Taoist."

  "What's on me? What could it be?"

  "The innate virtues in the body of a Taoist friend, as long as they accumulate more virtues in the future and use these virtues to transform and emerge, that's all. In fact, it is also the opportunity of the Taoist friend, if there were no infinite innate virtues, the Taoist friend would not be able to transform and emerge at all, and in the future, before transforming and emerging, they cannot use their divine powers."

  Pangu had just finished speaking, and Zhang Xue's heart finally calmed down. He stood up and bowed deeply to Pangu, expressing his gratitude.

  Pangu just laughed and said: "It's nothing, don't mind it."

  Watching Pangu's sincere and refreshing figure, he made a silent decision in his heart: 'Find a way to prevent Pangu from falling after opening the sky.'
