Shennong Sequence

It's important to understand that Zhao Yun's Material Transformation Method, during the Foundation Establishment stage of the Great Dao, involved using the laws of the universe to infuse his inner vision with the power of his inner world, merging it with the Primordial Primordial Essence and the Primordial Taiji.
Therefore, the resonance between this material transformation method and the life rhythm at the moment of the birth of the innate yellow sprout brought about an enlightenment, which made Zhao Yun suddenly have a slight and subtle awakening to the supreme realm of "creation" and "creating life"!

In the past, the transformation of matter was merely a simple "morphological change," but now it seems to be touching the threshold of "qualitative change," as if just one more step would allow inanimate matter to truly come to life.

Although this sense of enlightenment was shallow, it was like a seed that took root deep in Zhao Yun's heart!

The creation of life is the supreme authority of Heaven...

"Profound, profound, the Dao is most profound; do not take living beings lightly; when the yellow sprout first reveals the essence of life, only then can one break through the heavens..."

As Zhao Yun recited the incantation in his mind, the scene within his inner world became increasingly mysterious!

Using one's own five elements as earth and the true nature millet pearl as the root, the two are fused into one. Then, with the assistance of the boundless yin and yang fire, it is repeatedly tempered in the constant burning. Based on the magical creation nurtured by the inner world, and nourished by the vast and infinite magical power, it is constantly polished in the meditation-like stillness.

Finally, a seed with a faint yellowish luster slowly emerged in the center of the inner world.

It did not rely on soil or rock, nor did it cling to spiritual soil. As soon as it landed, it took root directly in the void of the inner world. Countless fine roots and shoots emerged like serpents, one end plunging into the boiling sea of ​​magical power below, greedily absorbing the pure magical power; the other end pierced through the void of the inner world, even spreading out of the world boundary, taking root in the deeper chaotic void, as if trying to draw nourishment from the origin of the great universe and the great chaos!
In an instant, a faint suction force spread out, and the five elements, innate primordial energy, and even the free spiritual energy in the void within the inner world all converged towards this seed!

This scene resembled the birth of the first innate spiritual root within the inner world, slowly growing with the earth and sky as its soil.

However, its growth rate is extremely slow. After Zhao Yun sensed it, he realized that even if ten thousand years passed, the yellow sprout seed would probably not grow an inch.

“The key to cultivating yellow sprouts lies in the word ‘cultivation’.”

Zhao Yun sighed inwardly.

Moreover, now that the yellow bud seed has been refined, the next step is the real process of "nurturing" and "growth".

Therefore, according to the secret method recorded in the "Ten Thousand Spirits Return to One Heaven Immortal Scripture" that he cultivated, Zhao Yun needed to use the power of ten thousand spirits as material, Yin-Yang fire as a tempering tool, and the creation of the inner world as nourishment, to gradually refine these powers into pure nutrients for this innate yellow sprout seed to absorb.
Only when the seed is nurtured to be plump and resilient, and a "myriad-spirited yellow sprout" is formed, can one be said to have truly taken the first step in the realm of "nurturing yellow sprouts"!
The second step in the 'Nourish Yellow Sprout' realm is to guide this Yellow Sprout Medicine into a deeper, more profound realm that transcends matter and contains the true meaning of the origin of heaven and earth: the spiritual world, absorbing endless divine creation!

Only when the medicinal properties of Huangya Dayao are removed and it truly transforms into a "heavenly medicine" can the cultivation path of Huangya be considered truly complete.

In addition, the incomplete Three-Life Flower that Zhao Yun obtained from True Lord Longze was also essentially a celestial medicine, but it contained a special power that acted on the cycle of life, which was completely different from the path of the Yellow Sprout Celestial Medicine.
Whether it's the Myriad Spirits Yellow Sprout Elixir or the later-formulated Myriad Spirits Yellow Sprout Celestial Elixir, their core essence lies in harnessing the medicinal properties of the cultivator themselves.

In other words, it is a special fortune nurtured by the cultivator's own essence and origin. Therefore, this fortune is only suitable for the individual's stage of cultivation and has no other special power that can affect the path of others.

Therefore, the sole function of the Yellow Sprout Elixir is to align with one's own Dao foundation and Dao principles, thereby propelling one's cultivation steadily towards the more profound Golden Core realm.

This is why there is a world of difference between celestial medicines and great medicines due to differences in type and path: some celestial medicines nourish the soul, some temper the body, and some can stabilize the foundation of the Great Dao. They are irreplaceable and difficult to use interchangeably.

Even though the Yellow Sprout Medicine is only a stage of fortune on the path of cultivation, it is still a treasure that countless beings may not be able to obtain even if they spend their entire lives trying!

Even rare treasures of the Yellow Sprout Heavenly Medicine level are so rare that, in the endless cycle of time and countless lives, only a handful of people have had the chance to catch a glimpse of them...

After all, being ordinary is the norm in this world!
The mere step from the Qi Refining Realm to the most basic Foundation Establishment Realm eliminates 98% of Qi Refining cultivators, not to mention that the Foundation Establishment level is further divided into different directions such as the Human Path, Earth Path, Heaven Path, and Great Path.

Therefore, those who can embark on this advanced Foundation Establishment path are extremely rare, either regional prodigies or chosen ones of destiny within a short period of time, far beyond the reach of countless ordinary beings...

Furthermore, as the Yellow Sprout Seed took root and was born in the inner world, Zhao Yun's true nature also disappeared—of course, it was not completely annihilated.

Instead, it transformed into the foundation of the Yellow Sprout Seed, completely merging with the seed, and ultimately reappeared in the form of the Yellow Sprout Seed, which can be called the "first innate spiritual root" in the inner world.

Furthermore, the supernatural power of "True Nature is Me, All I Return to Truth" that arose from the previous resonance of the Great Dao Chapter, the Yellow Cloth, and True Nature was not affected.

It can still function normally based on the form of the yellow bud seed!
Therefore, even if one's true nature transforms into the foundation of one's spiritual roots, that profound ability of "the omnipresent self" remains firmly imprinted within the foundation of one's Dao, ready to be activated at any time.

In addition, this true nature, transformed into yellow sprouts, will continuously grow stronger as the seeds of yellow sprouts continue to grow and increase.
In other words, with each additional bit of vitality and each additional inch of root growth in Huangya, Zhao Yun's true nature would deepen, and his overall cultivation level would gradually improve without any stagnation.

Furthermore, based on the various cultivation paths recorded in the immortal scriptures, Zhao Yun deduced that true nature condenses into a yellow sprout, which, after countless nourishments, grows and matures. Further refinement then allows it to condense into jade liquid, which is ultimately used to restore the elixir.
True nature will unite with the Golden Elixir!

In other words, the true nature that is now transforming into the foundation of the yellow sprout is essentially the "basic raw material" for the future golden elixir.
Each of these transformations paves the way for the final Core Formation!
Therefore, these cultivation processes are interconnected and progressively advance from one step to the next, from true nature to yellow sprout, from yellow sprout to jade liquid, and from jade liquid to golden elixir. These are all forms of evolution on the path of cultivation that cannot be skipped...

Of course, while it's true that he understands the complete path of cultivation, before truly entering the corresponding realm, Zhao Yun's understanding of these processes is still just "seeing flowers through the fog." It's ultimately better to personally experience a genuine cultivation journey and verify it through practice in order to truly understand the profound mysteries hidden in each step of cultivation!
Rather than a vague understanding conjured up on paper. (End of Chapter)
