Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 131, Section 130: The Bodhi Tree, Fate Transforms into a Ferocious Beast

sun star.

Di Jun and Tai Yi flew together toward the Sun Star, which had expanded many times over. The closer they got to the Sun Star, the more they could feel an inexplicable and powerful attraction.

"This is?"

Only when he got really close to the Sun Star did Di Jun see everything.

The Fusang tree on the Sun Star absorbed boundless mysterious power during the great change of the unification of the three realms, and has grown from a top-grade innate spiritual root into a chaotic spiritual root.

The most important thing is not the change of its foundation, but that there are ten orbs of light floating under its tree, absorbing the infinite power of the sun to nourish themselves.

"Xihe, and my nine children have all returned!"

Di Jun's eyes filled with tears. If the river of time hadn't been flowing normally, he would have wondered if he had returned to the very beginning, to the moment when his child was born.

"Where is Youwen?"

Soon, Dijun discovered that one of his children was missing—the only child who had survived.

"Father?"

Just as Dijun was wondering, he heard Youwen's voice beside him.

Youwen saw the scene of them working together for three days. At first, he thought he was seeing things, but he didn't expect it to be real.

Di Jun looked at his youngest son, whose body had already been severed, with a mixture of relief and heartache. Without his protection, he must have had a difficult time these past years.

However, now is not the time for reminiscing. The call of the Sun Star is so strong that Di Jun can feel it will elevate their foundation to an incredible level.

"Advanced solar star technology will improve our foundation; we'll discuss other matters later."

Di Jun urged.

Now that the Journey to the West is about to begin, we may need their help in the future, so it's best to improve our strength as soon as possible.

After saying this, the three of them merged into the Sun Star. As soon as they entered, Di Jun and Tai Yi seemed to have an epiphany.

The Sun Star will nurture them with an extremely high foundation, called the Sun Candle!
The highest and most radiant light shines upon the entire universe!
Meanwhile, on the Moon Star, a similar dramatic change was taking place. Chang Xi gazed at the completely transformed laurel tree before him and let out a long exclamation:

"The fusion of reality and illusion, the blending of chaos, the act of stealing the Dao—the Ancestor Ji Yuan, what a skillful tactic!"

Chang Xi leaped into the Taiyin Star, and a strange feeling welled up in his heart.

"Taiyin Youying!"

Not only did the sun and moon undergo tremendous changes, but almost every corner of the entire Primordial Realm experienced similar upheavals.

The Mountain and Sea Realm was created by Ji Yuan by mixing countless myths and evolving through the incense offerings of myriad spirits. It encompasses almost all things in heaven and earth, and therefore, the primordial true realm after its fusion will have many powers, waiting for a destined person to merge with it.

Mountains and rivers, seas and streams, all have divine positions that have evolved; this is the creation of heaven and earth, possessing immense power.

At this moment, Ji Yuan had arrived at the boundary between the underworld and the mortal world, where a tall, dark divine tree exuded an aura of eternal existence.

"The Immortal Tree".

Ji Yuan looked at the divine tree in front of him and murmured, "This is a divine tree from the Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Southern Classic of the Overseas Regions. It was born in the realm of mountains and seas and merged with the Tree of Life and Death in the Netherworld. It encompasses Yin and Yang, contains creation, and has the characteristic of being eternally present in the world."

Most importantly, Ji Yuan sensed an extremely profound power above it. The fruit of this immortal tree not only allows one to comprehend the principles of Yin and Yang, but also possesses an extremely powerful ability.

That is to be reborn.

The true spirit of a Great Luo Immortal is entrusted to the Great Dao. Even if he dies, he will only fall into endless space and time, but it will be difficult for him to find a way to return.

The fruit of the Immortal Tree can imbue the being who eats it with a trace of immortal energy, imprinting their true spirit on the unknowable part of the Immortal Tree's evolution. Upon death, they will be instantly pulled back, so there is no need to worry about being lost in endless time and space.

"Good stuff."

Ji Yuan doesn't need this, but he can give it to the people around him. You should know that fate has most of the control over the Primordial True World. If Ji Yuan wants to bring back a fallen being, he will definitely be hindered. With the Immortal Tree, he doesn't have to worry about that.

After imprinting his mark around the Tree of Immortality and setting up a barrier, Ji Yuan flashed to a secret realm located in the far east of the Eastern Continent.

Looking at the chaotic spiritual root before him, Ji Yuan had not expected such a thing to happen.

"Another Bodhi tree."

It is important to know that innate spiritual roots are unique. Zhunti was born from the Bodhi tree, and now another Bodhi tree has grown here, even showing a faint tendency to advance to the Chaos Spiritual Root.

As for how the Bodhi tree came to be, it is related to Ji Yuan's incarnation, Subhuti. The cause and effect in the dark and the great fortune of the unity of reality and illusion allowed Subhuti's incarnation, which contained the power of wood, to reverse its innate nature and become the Bodhi tree. In terms of origin, it may be even higher than that of Zhunti.

However, Ji Yuan had another use for this Bodhi tree. He lifted the Bodhi tree and mobilized the power of heaven and earth, arriving at Flower Fruit Mountain in an instant. Due to the upgrade of the primordial world, many mountains and rivers had expanded to varying degrees, and their spiritual energy had been sublimated.

Huaguo Mountain occupies a special location. In the original timeline, it was known as the ancestral vein of the ten states and the origin of the three islands. Now that the prehistoric world has been upgraded, its special features have become even more exaggerated. Its innate spiritual energy is as abundant as that of famous mountains and rivers, and there is also a mysterious spiritual energy flowing through it, making it extremely magical.

Arriving at the Five-Colored Stone, Ji Yuan planted the Bodhi tree, which immediately merged with the stone's spiritual energy, creating a wondrous effect.

This was one of Ji Yuan's plans: to find those spiritual roots with unique effects and plant them next to the Five-Colored Stone. With the exchange of energy with the Spiritual Stone Monkey, these spiritual roots would eventually take form, thus saving the trouble of finding disciples on the Journey to the West.

They were born with intelligence along with the Spiritual Stone Monkey and could also share a portion of destiny. Ji Yuan didn't know if he could go on the journey to the west, so he naturally had to make more plans.

The stronger the foundation and background of the Spiritual Stone Monkey's birth, the greater the probability that he can successfully complete the Journey to the West. The Journey to the West is no longer a simple transformation of fortune, but concerns the entire Primordial True World.

After planting the Bodhi tree, Ji Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground and began to preach, thereby strengthening their foundation.

After eighty-one years, he stopped preaching. Ji Yuan waved his hand and sent down an avatar to preach to the Spiritual Stone Monkey and the Bodhi Tree every day to enhance their spiritual foundation and hone their minds.

He leaped back onto the Jianmu tree.

"Your Majesty, have you discovered anything?"

Ji Yuan bowed to Nuwa and asked a question.

Recently, Nuwa has been observing the movements of the western continent.

"That's not very good."

Nuwa looked at the western continent where black energy was churning, a look of solemnity appearing in her eyes.

Ji Yuan also turned his gaze over, and saw that the energy of the western continent was surging, with eighty-one vast auras surging and intertwining with each other, guarding a supreme palace in the center of the west. Within it, the Great Dao was rising and falling, and mysteries were intertwined, mysterious and profound, a palace of all wonders.

"What is he going to do?"

Ji Yuan couldn't understand. "He's conducting an experiment."

Nuwa spoke slowly.

"experiment?"

Ji Yuan was completely bewildered. Could it be that fate was a passionate and dedicated academic master?
"Fate merged all the remaining Chaos Gods together; it has to be said, he was ruthless."

Nuwa never expected fate to be so cruel.

The three thousand Great Daos are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. What Destiny is doing now is fusing the remnant body of the Chaos Demon God's Great Dao with the principle of mutual reinforcing and restraining. Who knows what kind of monster will be created in the end?

"No, fusion?"

Ji Yuan suddenly didn't understand. The three thousand Great Daos are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining, and fusion is not impossible, but the Chaos Gods are all subjective individuals. How can they be fused? Won't their consciousness resist?
Nuwa shook her head:

"Fate's actions can be described as extremely cruel. The Chaos Gods merged with each other, their consciousnesses coexisting as one. This must be unbearable for the Chaos Gods. Under extreme psychological torment, the resentment born would be incredibly terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan felt a chill. He wasn't afraid of how strong the fused monster was; even a Primordial Golden Immortal would have difficulty killing him in the Primordial True World. He just felt that fate was a bit too cruel.

After all, those demons and gods helped fate when the world was created. Now that they have finally returned, they still have to suffer this torment. It's really cruel of them.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a violent roar erupted from the western continent, the sound piercing through the entire primordial world, causing countless powerful beings to look towards the west.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of the other sages, who all headed to where Ji Yuan was.

"Is this some kind of calamity that obstructs the path?"

The speaker was Laozi, who was the first to arrive here.

What he saw was different from what Nuwa saw.

"Senior Uncle, what is this calamity that obstructs the path?"

Ji Yuan asked, unsure if it meant what he thought.

Laozi glanced at the Western Continent once more before slowly saying:

"He is setting up a tribulation in the realm of all beings, so that they cannot advance to the next realm or even enter the gate of cultivation without passing the tribulation."

"It's like Taoism subduing the restless mind and Buddhism meditating on one's true nature. However, after being blessed by fate, it becomes a kind of tribulation. Only those who can overcome the tribulation can enter the path of cultivation. He wants to raise the threshold for cultivation for ordinary people, which is contrary to what we seek."

After hearing Laozi's explanation, Ji Yuan's expression turned somewhat ugly. He hated such treacherous methods the most, as they were not as satisfying as real combat. The main reason was that he could not take action against fate, because if he did, it would affect the operation and foundation of the entire Primordial True World, which was really infuriating.

This also reminded him of some details from his previous life's Journey to the West: locking the mind monkey, tethering the will horse, holding Pigsy, breaking the ego...

Could it be that fate is using this to obstruct one's path? If so, then future cultivation will become extremely difficult, and those with poor comprehension may never even begin their journey.

Soon, all the saints gathered, and each person saw a different vision.

“Fate is truly extraordinary. The tribulations he set up contain the ultimate principles of cultivation. Breaking through the tribulations and comprehending one's true nature can lead to the attainment of the Great Dao. However, it is somewhat unfriendly to those who are not talented.”

Jieyin glanced at the Western continent with his discerning eyes and sighed.

It will be even more difficult for future cultivators. This is a limitation of the Great Dao. No matter how rich the spiritual energy is, it will be difficult to enter the path of cultivation.

Under such a tribulation, even the demon race has to subdue their true nature and restrain their desires, which is truly contrary to common sense.

It's important to understand that the early cultivation of the demon race differs from that of the human race. In the early stages, the demon race only needs sufficient spiritual energy to purify their bloodline, allowing their cultivation level to steadily rise. Only when they reach slightly higher levels will they be involved in spiritual cultivation.

Now that fate has laid down an obstacle to the path, all races will likely become weaker and weaker, forming a trend where the strong become stronger and the weak become weaker. In many cases, the cultivation of the mind and the Great Dao will be difficult for others to interfere with.

This greatly impacted the development of the Primordial True Realm, reducing its absorption of the origin of the chaotic universe. It has to be said that fate is truly ingenious.

"Boom!"

Another extremely terrifying roar erupted, and under such power, it seemed as if the entire primordial world shook three times.

On the western continent, the eighty-one auras condensed into enormous eggs, each egg emanating an astonishing aura. They overflowed and devoured the spiritual energy of the primordial true world, as well as negative emotions such as desires and distracting thoughts that could not be seen by those who were not powerful beings.

"Fate will create ferocious beasts!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke solemnly.

"The ferocious beasts are born from the resentment, evil thoughts and other negative emotions of all ages. Now they are also blessed by fate with tribulations. When they are born, they will cause a huge catastrophe. Even if they do not take action, they will affect the minds and Dao hearts of all the beings in the entire Primordial True World."

The words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable made the hearts of all the saints present tighten.

"Second Brother means that Fate is not going to follow the Journey to the West route; it wants to fight directly."

The Tongtian Sect Leader was quite excited. He had been comprehending the power of the True Realm these past few days and wanted to test its might. He didn't like those roundabout ways, so he preferred to fight directly. If he won, everyone would be happy; if he lost, he would just have to take a trip to the endless space-time.

Yuanshi Tianzun glanced at Tongtian Jiaozhu and said with some helplessness:

"Third brother, don't fight and kill at every turn. The Primordial True World is full of wonders. How many opportunities have yet to be discovered and how many have yet to be comprehended? These opportunities are related to the path of countless beings. We must not easily start a war at the level of a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Now, even a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal cannot break the world, but the wounds left behind are difficult to heal."

"In my estimation, the tribulations laid down by the ferocious beasts of creation are just some of the means of fate. The real path is the Journey to the West. Now, the essence of the Primordial True World is so supreme, and the network of fate covers the entire Primordial World. If fate can gain control over the entire Primordial World, it may be able to reach an unimaginable realm."

"I don't believe he didn't have the idea of ​​substituting one thing for another and taking the place of the other."

"Could fate be so audacious?"

After hearing the explanation from the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but have some doubts. Was destiny, being the embodiment of the chaotic universe's will, also capable of transcending its own nature?

"As long as fate exists, it will always have desires, but it's unclear whether they are for the chaotic universe or for itself."

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled slightly. He understood this kind of fate and existence very well. There was a time when he also wanted to defy the heavens and control everything by substituting his own will for the will of the heavens. If things hadn't developed so quickly, it would still be uncertain whether he would still be in this situation.

"What should we do now, Second Uncle?"

Ji Yuan asked, "In terms of experience, I still can't compare to these senior uncles and elder brothers."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable smiled mysteriously:
“If fate turns bad, then we should become saints; he does not have the power to transform the illusory into the real.”

Everyone turned to look at Ji Yuan.
