The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 35: Flaws in the Technique
Zhou Chen was at Biyou Palace when people arrived. The first one to arrive was Daoist Duobao, since as the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, Daoist Duobao cultivated on Jin'ao Island.

Duobao was also surprised to see Zhou Chen. He was always the first to arrive, but this time someone had arrived even earlier than him.

However, Duobao didn't mind. He nodded to Zhou Chen and sat down in his seat, ready to listen to the sage's sermon.

Zhou Chen nodded in acknowledgment and then began to consider his own cultivation.

He has reached the pinnacle of the Celestial Immortal realm, comprehending the true meaning of the laws of heaven and earth. His body is transformed into a vast universe of stars and galaxies, and his major acupoints condense the worlds of the heavens. He traverses the starry sky and the universe, absorbing the cosmos into his own body.

The next step is the True Immortal realm. How does one cultivate to become a True Immortal?

A true immortal, a true immortal, Zhou Chen fell into deep thought.

When he woke up, he was awakened by Bixiao. Bixiao did not speak because the sermon was about to begin.

Zhou Chen nodded slightly in thanks, and then waited for the sermon to begin.

The Tongtian Sect Leader appeared out of thin air on the cloud bed in Biyou Palace.

"This lecture will begin again from the Earthly Immortal Realm, focusing on the cultivation of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Immortals. Listen carefully, examine yourselves, and weed out the inferior and keep the superior."

After saying that, he began to think of the Dao.

Zhou Chen didn't listen to the Tongtian Sect Leader's explanation. Instead, he prepared to sort out his own thoughts. After all, he was clueless at the moment. Maybe sorting out his own thoughts would give him new inspiration!

The first thing to examine was the myriad worlds within the Great Acupoint. There were no problems; various fundamental laws appeared one after another, and the power of the Great Dao within the world increased day by day.

The Myriad Immortals Formation continuously transforms the five elements and the two polarities of the universe, thus strengthening the world.

Zhou Chen then checked the situation of the cosmic particles and discovered a very serious problem.

The transformation of cosmic particles has stopped and is slowly weakening.

Zhou Chen frowned, then began to absorb the celestial flowers, golden lotuses, and innate spiritual energy of Biyou Palace. A huge suction force was generated on his body, which directly plundered all the celestial flowers, golden lotuses, and innate spiritual energy of Biyou Palace. The speed at which the flowers, golden lotuses, and innate spiritual energy surged in was far slower than the speed at which Zhou Chen absorbed them.

The Tongtian Sect Leader glanced at Zhou Chen, then helplessly used his magic to isolate Zhou Chen. He then converted the chaotic energy into innate spiritual energy for Zhou Chen to cultivate, but before the chaotic energy could be converted, it was absorbed by Zhou Chen.

Tongtian frowned, but after finding that Zhou Chen was not acting strangely, he stopped paying attention to it. His disciple Zhou Chen had surprised him too much, and this kind of minor incident could no longer stir up any waves in Tongtian's heart.

As the cosmic particles received energy, they began to develop and evolve. Instead of being happy, Zhou Chen frowned even more deeply upon seeing this.

They lack energy, but why don't those primordial great beings have this problem?

Zhou Chen pondered what the Tongtian Sect Leader had said before, and then compared it with his own experience, and he felt numb.

In the primordial world, all cultivators absorb a constant amount of energy, some more, some less, but the capacity is constant. That is to say, whether one is a Golden Immortal or a Quasi-Saint, the amount of spiritual energy they absorb is fixed, and once it is full, they stop absorbing because their bodies are saturated. However, Zhou Chen's situation is different. He has 840 million universes under development and 365 worlds under evolution, requiring enormous, even infinite, energy.

After all, Zhou Chen was in the prehistoric world, and he could use the prehistoric world as a reference to shape the world, just like checking homework. The only thing he lacked was energy and the time to find and understand the answers.

There's still plenty of time, but where can he find the energy? The Primordial World? Absolutely impossible. Perhaps because of his independent spacetime, the Heavenly Dao hasn't discovered him yet, or is too lazy to bother him. But not wanting to care and being unable to care are two different things. If Zhou Chen were to truly absorb that much spiritual energy from the Primordial World—not even a third, or even less—his grandmaster, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, would likely bring six Heavenly Dao Saints to block his door and ask him what he's up to. Does he want to destroy the Primordial World?

As for going to Chaos, the chaotic energy there is abundant, and absorbing a small amount is fine, but the amount he is taking is too large. Chaos is not just the Primordial World. Who knows what will happen after absorbing so much chaotic energy?
If a few Chaos Gods were to appear, it would be troublesome if I could defeat them, but if I couldn't, it would be even worse. If they discovered the Primordial World and brought disaster to it, I probably wouldn't fare much better.

After some thought, Zhou Chen decided to look for other solutions first. If he couldn't find any, he would go to the Chaos and come back after resolving the issue. If he had to choose between the Chaos Gods and Demons, unknown beings, and the Primordial World, Zhou Chen planned to try his luck in the Chaos. After all, the Primordial World not only had the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but also a group of powerful figures guarding the timeline! Who knew what realm that person had reached?

Even if there was no progress during the time he was guarding the timeline, it was still not something Zhou Chen could pull off.

In the boundless chaos, what if Zhou Chen didn't encounter anything? Wouldn't that be better than being in the primordial world? Even if he did encounter something, what if he could defeat it? Even if he really couldn't, wouldn't Zhou Chen just run away?

With that thought, Zhou Chen felt a little better, and then he suppressed these chaotic thoughts and began to think of a solution.

Ideally, it should have unlimited energy, and a cultivation method that doesn't require energy to practice, so that becoming stronger can replenish that energy.

Physical cultivation? No, it ultimately involves strengthening the body through cultivation and eventually integrating with the laws, but it still requires energy to assist it.

Negative energy? Demonic energy, resentment, and malevolent energy won't work either. Although they won't harm the Primordial World, their quantity is ultimately limited and cannot meet Zhou Chen's needs.

……

After thinking for a long time without any results, Zhou Chen had a bitter face.

"Does this really mean we have to cultivate in the chaos?"

"Wait! Cultivation... cultivation... I've got it! Mental cultivation! Spiritual cultivation!"

"The potential of the human soul is limitless, and the power of the mind has no end. If we cultivate our minds to radiate into reality, wouldn't that be..."

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up, and he began to deduce the methods of mental cultivation.

As time went on, Zhou Chen's smile grew wider and wider, because he had roughly deduced a cultivation method and was now verifying its feasibility.

Zhou Chen didn't care about the exact time, but the Tongtian Sect Leader's sermon had already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and the sermon should be coming to an end soon.

Zhou Chen also completed the verification; judging from his expression, he had succeeded.

I'm quite busy today, it's a bit late, sorry, there's still one ticket left for the party!
