Chapter 0856: The Laws of the Hongmeng Dao

The souls of half-saints possess the laws of the Dao. As they cultivate, these laws become increasingly perfect. At the moment of perfection, the soul of the half-saint fully merges with these laws, dwelling within them and ensuring its immortality!
After Ok’s enlightenment, Huang Long fully understood the path and key to attaining sainthood!
The laws of the Dao!
That’s right—the key to attaining sainthood lies in the laws of the Dao!
“Young master, since you have now surpassed the level of half-saint, you can unlock the fourth layer of restrictions on the Sacred Cauldron,” Ok said.
Huang Long turned to look at Ok. “Unlock the fourth layer?”
“Yes. The fourth layer contains techniques left by Lord Hongmeng Sacred King to refine the laws of the Dao. By practicing them, you can further perfect these laws!” Ok explained.
“Refine the laws of the Dao!” Huang Long was delighted. It seemed he really needed to unlock the subsequent restrictions on the Sacred Cauldron. He had built the Immortals Pavilion and used the divine bodies of people likeBruchi to help them reach the level of half-saint, but he had never unlocked the later restrictions on the Sacred Cauldron.
“Let’s go in and take a look together!” Huang Long said. Then, along with Huoyang, Ok, and Livia, they entered the space inside the Sacred Cauldron. As he chanted a spell, a flash of light appeared in the void of the Sacred Cauldron, followed by a loud noise.
The third layer of restrictions was unlocked.
“What a huge altar!” When Huang Long and the others entered the third layer, they saw a massive altar right in the center!
This altar was probably as big as Hongmeng City itself!
It seemed to be made from some kind of divine stone, emitting a white glow. Around the altar were inscribed runes, clearly forming a large restriction array.
However, what caught Huang Long and the others’ attention were the two giants standing on the altar. Each giant was towering, with muscles tightly packed like layers of golden ore, radiating a faint golden light.
Most striking were the two horns growing on top of their heads—half-moon shaped and shining brightly like two extremely sharp divine swords.
The two giants stood motionless, as if asleep, yet the faint pressure emanating from them made Huoyang and Livia feel fear!
“These are Golden-Horned Giants!” Ok exclaimed in surprise.
Huang Long flew above the altar. Hearing Ok’s exclamation, he couldn’t help but say, “Golden-Horned Giants?!”

“Exactly, they are the Golden-Horned Giants. Among the three thousand great worlds, there is one called the Golden-Horned Great World, and the main race in this world are the Golden-Horned Giants!” Oak said. “These Golden-Horned Giants are born with divine strength; they are extremely powerful from birth and can lift a hundred-zhang-high mountain at just a few years old!”
Huang Long, Huo Yang, Livia, and the others were all shocked—lifting a hundred-zhang-high mountain at just a few years old!
In the Hongmeng World, even ordinary lower-tier gods would likely not be able to lift such a mountain.
“Indeed, among the three thousand great worlds and countless races, the Golden-Horned Giants possess innate divine strength. When it comes to raw power, they rank first!” Oak nodded, then stared at the two Golden-Horned Giants and said, “These two Golden-Horned Giants must have been half-saints in their lifetime!”
“Half-saints!” Huo Yang and Livia trembled.
Although they felt pressure from the two Golden-Horned Giants, they never imagined they could have been half-saints in their lifetime!
Huang Long nodded. Oak was right. He had used his Heavenly Eye to see that the minds of these two Golden-Horned Giants contained the laws of the great path. In fact, the laws of the great path within them were far stronger than Huang Long’s own!
According to Huang Long’s estimation, these two Golden-Horned Giants must have been half-saints spanning two eras!
Two eras meant two great destructions of the world!
One era could consist of dozens or even hundreds of sub-eras. Such powerful beings had practiced for countless trillions of years—their strength was unimaginable!
Suddenly, Huang Long glanced at a corner of the altar and saw a line of ancient Hongmeng script carved there. After reading it, he smiled broadly and exclaimed, “So that’s how it is! Although these two Golden-Horned Giants are dead, they were turned into puppets by the Hongmeng Holy King using the supreme laws of the great path. As long as one controls this altar array, they can control these two Golden-Horned Giants!”
Puppets!
Puppets of two half-saints!
The third layer of the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron actually contained puppets of two half-saints!
For Huang Long, this was even more precious than the divine pills in the first layer or the rare treasures in the second layer—by far! Half-saints! And they were half-saints who had survived two eras!
Once he controlled these two half-saint puppets, it would be as if he had two more half-saint avatars!
Exactly, avatars!
With these two half-saint avatars, along with the Chaos Bell, the Heavenly Sacred Cauldron, and the World Tree, Huang Long would be able to utterly destroy any half-saints from eras below! Utterly destroy them!

Huang Long suppressed his joy and shed a drop of his vital blood. The blood merged with the runes on the altar, and instantly, he understood that this altar formation was a primordial formation called the “Nine Extremes Divine Trapping Formation” along with its control method. Huang Long formed a spell with his hands, and the altar emitted intense light that soared into the sky, illuminating the entire third layer. Then, the two golden-horned giants, who had previously appeared dull-eyed, suddenly emitted two beams of golden light, as if ancient beasts that had slept for billions of years were awakening. The air in the space became turbulent, and two muffled explosions echoed through the void, like chaotic divine thunder. Aside from Huang Long, Livia and the others also felt the terrifying pressure pressing down on them. At that moment, Huang Long waved his hands, and two drops of vital blood merged into the foreheads of the two golden-horned giants. Instantly, Huang Long felt a connection of blood with them. “Tado and Xitu pay their respects to the master!” The two giants flew up and bowed before Huang Long. “Good, rise,” said Huang Long. Although they were puppets, acting as Huang Long’s two divine avatars, they were not ordinary puppets—they had thoughts just like living beings. “Yes, master!” They stood up. Then, Huang Long made them shrink to normal human size before taking them inside his body. By then, Livia and the others had regained their senses. Huoyang, Ok, and Livia congratulated Huang Long. Having two semi-saintly warriors as puppets was indeed something worth celebrating! After a while, Huang Long said, “Let’s go to the fourth layer now!” With that, he formed a spell, lifted the restrictions on the fourth layer, and entered it with Livia and the others. The fourth layer wasn’t very large; at its center was a thousand-foot-high palace. Inside the palace, there were three floors, each filled with various ancient books—some on weapon crafting, some on potion-making, and others detailing experiences from the three thousand great worlds. On a jade slab in the middle of the last floor, Huang Long found a book titled “The Laws of the Hongmeng Path.” The Hongmeng Path was the cultivation method used by the Hongmeng Holy King to achieve enlightenment—a method for mastering the laws of the path!
