Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 290 - 68 Secret News

"They are the fusion of the universe’s dark side and are also representatives of disorder."

"Why does no one know of their existence?" Lu Yu asked.

"The Three Pure Ones were among the earliest of All Saints to touch the threshold of Transcendence," he said. "Why didn’t they choose to transcend immediately, but instead waited until several other saints had the power of Transcendence before they started seeking it?"

Lu Yu was shocked by Lord Lu Ya’s words; he had never considered this before. He always heard that one must fight for the Great Dao, but why were so many people given the opportunity for Transcendence? Now, thinking about it, it might be related to the terrifying Giant Beasts he had seen.

"To achieve Transcendence, one must confront these Chaotic Giant Beasts. They lack wisdom but possess power close to that of Transcendence. Because they represent disorder, they inherently despise us, so they will naturally come to obstruct during the time of Transcendence. If one person tries to transcend, they would likely fall in the attack of the multitude of beasts. Therefore, after the Three Pure Ones reached that step, they waited, until now when they think there are enough people to deal with it, they started the Journey to the West."

"But how did the Ancestral Master transcend alone?" Lu Yu had another question. According to Lu Ya, anyone who transcends would inevitably be attacked by these bizarre and inexplicable Chaotic Creatures, so how did he manage to transcend at that time?

"When the Ancestral Master transcended, the membrane of our world still existed, temporarily able to withstand the onslaught of the Giant Beasts. He took advantage of this period to successfully transcend. Also, because of his Transcendence, the world’s membrane completely vanished, leaving the entire world exposed. This time the All Saints lack such conditions, they have to withstand it on their own."

Only then did Lu Yu suddenly realize why the saints aimed to transcend together. He looked keenly at Lord Lu Ya in front of him, more convinced that he was Eastern Emperor Taiyi. However, he wondered why at the last moment, he felt that Eastern Emperor Taiyi already had the power close to Transcendence, but did not attempt it.

"You want to ask why I didn’t choose Transcendence at the beginning?" Lord Lu Ya asked with a smile.

"Who said I didn’t transcend? It’s just that I failed. As for the reason for the failure, you know it well." Lord Lu Ya said with a hint of regret.

"During the battle where I obliterated the Dragon Clan, the heavens and earth shattered, attracting the attention of the Chaotic Giant Beasts to this world. I was inadvertently contaminated by the power of disorder, which caused complications and led to my Transcendence’s failure."

"To cleanse the contamination, all I could do was use death, transfer authority, and re-cultivate the path – only then the contamination was completely cleared."

"Hong Jun and I cooperated for the sake of obtaining some intelligence about Transcendence. Precisely because of this, he personally took action to separate the contamination from me, which then became the Demon Lord. My Primordial Spirit managed to escape the shackles of law, reincarnating as Daoist Lu Ya."

Lu Yu then understood that the so-called fall of the gods back then had Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s schemes involved, no wonder such a mighty figure was so easily supplemented by the Ancestral Master in the Heavenly Dao.

"So the so-called supplementing the Heavenly Dao was to repair the membrane’s fissures caused by the shattered heavens and earth?"

"That’s right. Using Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s identity to separate the contamination and repair the fissures is considered settling karma. The position of Heavenly Emperor is extremely karmic, especially since I had committed an act of world-ending, naturally incurring heavy karma. Even so, I had no choice but to transform my Heavenly Emperor’s fruit of destiny into Tai Hao Heavenly Emperor to completely rid myself of karma."

"So the reason I saw you in the past is because of the Ancestral Master?"

"Of course, apart from him, who else can reverse karma, turn back time? This is the power after Transcendence, even with the Eastern Emperor Bell I cannot achieve this."

"But I clearly saw you strike the Eastern Emperor Bell, sending me back in time."

"The Eastern Emperor Bell was merely a trigger. When its sound rang out, the Spell cast on you would activate, and you would naturally return to the present."

"This was the agreement I had with Hong Jun at the beginning—if he succeeded in transcending, he would naturally save me. If he failed, I was prepared to accept it. The facts have proven I won the bet."

"When you came to the past and saw me, that very moment, I gained the memory of the future, allowing me to lay out the plans confidently, leading to today’s situation."

"But what if it weren’t for me? Would history not change?"

"When a person transcends, they pervade the past and future, occupying all possibilities. Without you, there would be someone else. When Hong Jun transcended, all possibilities and developments were condensed, leaving only this outcome. This is fate."

"And before the pivotal moment comes, I have always been Lord Lu Ya. But the moment you successfully travel back to the past, my memory will be restored. This is the strength of a Transcendent; he exists in a different dimension from us, unimaginable in his mighty powers." Lord Lu Ya sighed softly.

He had once been but a step away from that realm; alas, falling short at the final hurdle, he ultimately could only pin his hopes on Hong Jun. But now it seems, his choice was correct; Hong Jun kept his promise, and this time he would not fail again.

Lu Yu bowed to Lord Lu Ya in front of him, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you, Daoist Lu Ya, for enlightening me. Lu Yu is greatly appreciative."

Lord Lu Ya lightly gestured with his hand and said, "You awakened me in the past, allowing me to regain my memory at this juncture and grasp the chance for Transcendence. These doubts should naturally be explained by me. In the future, if you have any questions, you can also come here to find me. Before Transcendence, I will not leave this place again."

Lu Yu nodded slightly in agreement. He was very clear that if the Three Pure Ones of the Taoist Sect were closest to Transcendence before, now it was this self-proclaimed Daoist Lu Ya. At this very moment, there was nothing more he needed to do; he just had to wait patiently for the opportunity of Transcendence to arrive, and then he could take that step.

At that moment, Lu Ya plucked a Fusang Leaf and handed it to Lu Yu, saying with a smile, "You carry a trace of aura left by the Golden Crow. I know he has been seeking for many years the truth about Hao Tian and his own birth. When you return, give this to him, and he will understand."

Lu Yu took the Fusang Leaf and asked with curiosity before leaving, "This world?"

He had long noticed the uniqueness of this world. Surrounded by mist, it was impossible to sense, and the creatures here were also very special, with many beasts made of clouds that would cause rain when slain.

"This world is what was formed by the death of Cloud Monarch. Part of his remains became Zhen Wu’s Zao Diao Flag, and another part turned into this kind of world. As it has the function of concealment, I stayed here to cultivate in secret. After Transcendence, if you’re interested, I can give you this world."
