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

Chapter 75 Refining Qi into Spirit, Yang Spirit, and the Concept of Divinity

"Okay, don't worry, I'll handle it." Taizhen said seriously.

Zhou Chen nodded and went into seclusion at the Ziwei Palace.

Tai Zhen first went to the ancient starry sky to check and improved the merit system. He then told Zhao Gongming and the other three to convey the message before returning to the Ziwei Palace.

She didn't disturb Zhou Chen, but instead began to comprehend his supernatural abilities. Although she was also a powerful supernatural being and had mastered many supernatural abilities, she couldn't compare to Zhou Chen in terms of combat, so it was better for her to study them.

Zhou Chen then began the next stage of his cultivation.

He has cultivated the primordial primordial qi, and his qi cultivation is complete. He is no longer troubled by material energy, and can now focus on spiritual cultivation.

That is, the next realm, Refining Qi into Spirit!

He already had ideas on how to cultivate the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation technique.

"Embrace the primordial unity, retreat from yin and return to yang, condense the divine nature, neither born nor dying!"

Here, 'Yuan' refers to the primordial spirit, and 'Yi' refers to the primordial ancestral Qi.

As for Yin and Yang, it does not refer to the two energies of Yin and Yang, nor to the power of the sun and the moon.

Rather, it is on a spiritual level, the so-called yin deficiency and yang excess.

"Removing Yin" means removing illusion, while "Returning Yang" means solidifying reality!
Although the primordial spirit of a cultivator in the primordial era can also affect matter, it relies on the power of magic and energy, and cannot directly affect objects like the physical body.

After the Yin energy is restored to Yang, the spirit and body can act on objects simultaneously, and even if the physical body is destroyed, one can survive without energy.

They can even freely switch between the real and the virtual. Consequently, they can transcend their own limitations and touch things that the physical body cannot reach, such as authority.

He can use authority, but he cannot modify it. Even a saint is the same; even the Dao Ancestor modifies it through the Heavenly Dao.

However, after he returns to the yang realm, he can use his materialized primordial spirit to modify authority.

It embodies divinity, neither born nor dying.

It involves using a materialized primordial spirit to construct one's own divinity, or one's own concept, achieving a state where the concept is immortal and the primordial spirit is immortal.

Now that the path of cultivation has been chosen, let's begin cultivating.

The first step is to transform the Yin spirit into the Yang spirit.

Both Yin and Yang spirits are primordial spirits, but the difference lies in that the former is formless and illusory, while the latter can solidify or disperse, making it a more advanced form.

Once one cultivates the Yang Spirit, one can achieve transcendence of both the material and spiritual realms, or even attain the one true self.

So how do you reverse a positive result?
The top part of the character 炁 represents illusion, while the four dots below do not represent water, but fire, such as scorching heat.

This represents forging the primordial spirit with fire, refining the yin essence within it, and when the yin essence is completely removed, the primordial spirit transforms into a yang spirit.

Zhou Chen directly used the Ancestral Qi Fire to burn the Yin essence of his primordial spirit. However, he seemed to have forgotten one thing: the authority of his Purple Star Emperor was still within his primordial spirit!
As the ancestral fire burned, the authority of the Ziwei Emperor slowly materialized, appearing as an imperial crown atop Zhou Chen's primordial spirit.

In the primordial starry sky, the Ziwei Star, representing the authority of the Ziwei Star, shone brightly, overshadowing even the light of the Sun Star.

The very essence of the Ziwei Star, unseen by others, is undergoing an incredible transformation. The Ziwei Star itself is also undergoing a transformation, as if someone is forging it, burning away all impurities and continuously increasing the hardness of the star's matter.

Ultimately, the Ziwei Emperor could also become the Ziwei Star Lord, and was closely related to the Ziwei Star. Zhou Chen unconsciously tempered the Ziwei authority, which would definitely affect the Ziwei Star. Fortunately, the effect was positive.

When Zhou Chen condensed the Ziwei authority into a tangible imperial crown, the origin of the Ziwei star also transformed from an illusory energy body into a smaller sphere identical to the Ziwei star itself.

Although the Purple Star looks almost the same as before, its hardness is not much different from that of an innate spiritual treasure.

The spiritual treasure that was originally integrated into the origin was separated. At the moment of separation, the actual origin touched the spiritual treasure, and an even greater energy appeared on the spiritual treasure. The energy seemed to be about to burst this top-grade innate spiritual treasure that had integrated the merits of the Heavenly Dao. The power of the spiritual treasure was pushed to the extreme, and it also subtly attracted the power of other stars.

The power of the Reverse Celestial Star Array doubled, and it was converting various innate spiritual energies more rapidly and continuously.

The essence of Ziwei Star is frantically absorbing the intercepted spiritual energy, increasing its own essence, and improving the environment of Ziwei Star.

Tai Zhen, who was comprehending supernatural powers on Ziwei Star, immediately noticed the changes here. Although it was somewhat unbelievable, she didn't think much of it at first because of Zhou Chen. But gradually, she became a little uneasy.

The stones of Ziwei Star all possess the hardness of innate spiritual treasures. If it weren't for the fact that they only contain violent star power and lack the imprint of laws and great principles, she would have suspected that Zhou Chen had refined the entire Ziwei Star into an innate spiritual treasure.

After glancing at Zhou Chen's secluded cultivation place, he suppressed his doubts and continued to comprehend the supernatural power.

Zhou Chen, however, was unaware of what was happening outside, and he didn't even notice the power of the Ziwei Emperor; his attention was entirely focused on his primordial spirit.

After all, to refine the yin essence within the primordial spirit, one must concentrate. That is the primordial spirit; if something goes wrong, he will have nowhere to cry!
But this is a slow and painstaking process that can't be rushed, so Zhou Chen could only concentrate on forging his primordial spirit.

Fortunately, he had the habit of cultivating to accelerate time; otherwise, he didn't know how long a single cultivation session would take!

……

The Netherworld

During this period, the Netherworld, as the yin aspect, is still undergoing transformation. Although it is not yet complete, it is already able to suppress the power of primordial beings. For example, when Golden Immortals and Taiyi Immortals come to the Netherworld, their physical bodies are directly suppressed, and they cannot exert any magic power at all, just like ordinary people.

After the primordial spirit leaves the body, one can use a portion of the magical power, but it is impossible to use supernatural abilities, as if the laws of the underworld are rejecting them.

They had no idea why this was happening, but still came to the Netherworld seeking an opportunity, believing that with the opening of a new world, there must be some magical treasures born there.

Some of the clever ones, seeing this situation, immediately withdrew from the Netherworld.

Of course, some people are blinded by chance and grit their teeth to enter the underworld to search. Anyway, everyone is the same. As long as you don't provoke those underworld ghost messengers, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Because the underworld is a vast world, it cannot consist of only the netherworld. Therefore, there are other paths after the gates of hell. Ordinary reincarnated spirits can only see the Yellow Springs Road, while living beings and some special spirits can see other paths.

That road leads to the Netherworld, a place outside the Underworld. Now, with the development of the Netherworld, it has become lush and prosperous, but it exudes a sinister and terrifying aura.
