Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 146, Section 145: The Supreme Mystery of Time and Space – The Dark Hand
"Let me do it."

Nuwa stepped forward and spoke softly.

"it is good!"

Nuwa took out the Heaven-Opening Axe and threw it to Ji Yuan, as he was more suited to use this treasure.

She then took out his "Dao Master," and a "Dao Master" with ever-changing appearance fell into Ji Yuan's hands.

Ji Yuan threw it directly into the "Boundary Fire" along with the Chaos Origin and quickly began refining it.

Actually, refining a Chaos Treasure isn't that difficult. You just need to refine the Chaos Origin and the "Dao Lord" into one, and the rest is mostly left to the being who needs the Chaos Treasure. They will shape and define the Chaos Treasure themselves.

In a sense, this method seems to be slightly better than the direct co-occurrence. One is unconscious self-gestation, and the other is conscious self-improvement. In terms of power, the latter is slightly stronger.

However, the primordial treasures of Pangu were not of this category. Only at this moment did Ji Yuan realize that perhaps even before they were fully formed, Pangu had already determined the path ahead, thus giving birth to the two treasures, the Heaven-Opening Axe and the Earth-Splitting Chisel.
Thinking hard.

The flames remained blazing, and the Dao seekers stared intently at the "Dao Lord" within them. This level of refinement would gradually dismantle Nuwa's Great Dao of Creation, allowing them to draw inferences from it and enhance their own understanding of the Great Dao—truly a tremendous blessing.

Ji Yuan struggled to control the flames. He discovered that Nuwa's "Dao Lord" was a level stronger than the previous three, and the difficulty of refining it was much greater. Moreover, her "Dao Lord" actually contained a trace of Nirvana's true meaning.

Perhaps it was the ultimate nirvana she comprehended after returning from death and rising again from ruin.

While Ji Yuan was refining the offerings, Nuwa was not idle either. She took out the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, which had been sublimated after the unification of the three realms, and then incorporated it with the Three Lights Divine Water, creating a miniature pool.

Nuwa's magical power surged, and she forced out three drops of her heart's blood, which exuded a vast power of creation, from her heart. She dripped them into the pool, and the pool instantly turned snow-white. The central pool was translucent with a blood-red hue, like agate inlaid in pure snow.

Ji Yuan immediately understood what Nuwa wanted to do, and with all his might, he controlled the "Boundary Fire" in his hand, letting out a loud shout:
"rise!"

The combined aura of the supreme treasure surged into the pool in Nuwa's hand.

Nuwa sat cross-legged on the ground, pointing one finger to the sky and the other to the earth, and the boundless power of heaven and earth poured into the blood pool.

The power of this "Creation Blood Pool" grew stronger and stronger. Under Nuwa's control, endless primordial power of the universe continued to flow into it until the "Creation Blood Pool" became desolate and ancient. From its appearance, it could almost be described as "old".

But the aura emanating from it was truly terrifying. The pool itself could manifest divine light that could strike the physical body and pierce the soul. The pool water was even more extraordinary, seemingly possessing the mysteries of creation.

After the strange phenomenon disappeared, Nuwa held the "Creation Blood Pool" and said softly, "This is the Creation Blood Pool, which condenses my life's power of creation. The blood pool contains the true meaning of Nirvana that I comprehended during my Nirvana. If any of you give a drop of your blood into it, and if you unfortunately die and your cultivation dissipates, you can return to this blood pool in an instant."

"what?"

As soon as Nuwa finished speaking, everyone showed an incredulous expression.

It is common knowledge that the Great Luo is immortal, but if the body and soul are destroyed, they will still be lost in endless space and time, and can only find a way back in the endless time turbulence. It may take thousands or tens of thousands of eons to return.

It's simply illogical that Nuwa's Chaos Treasure would give them another chance.

Everyone stepped forward and dripped a drop of blood onto the ground, but Ji Yuan remained motionless.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Ji Yuan grinned: "I'm not that easy to die, but if I do die, this blood pool can't bring me back."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions varied, as if they had different guesses.

Ji Yuan naturally wanted a chance to start over, but given the wariness and hatred the Chaos Universe Will showed him, if he were to die and perish, the Chaos Universe Will would definitely not give him a chance to return and would lock him in endless space and time forever.

In that case, whether or not blood is dripped is completely unimportant.

Nuwa nodded. From the last time Wuliang Kun explained to them why Ji Yuan was so strong, they already knew that the will of the chaotic universe must have an unimaginable wariness of Ji Yuan. If Ji Yuan died, he would definitely not be able to return.

"My dear son, you must be careful from now on," Nuwa said with concern.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Ji Yuan laughed heartily.

It's just a chance to start over. He's not without backup plans, so there's no need to worry.

"Alright, it's good that you know." After saying that, Nuwa went to the side and quietly refined this Chaos Treasure, integrating the auras of all the saints so that she could easily return if she were to encounter death in the future.

At this moment, Ji Yuan looked at Laozi and said softly, "Grand Master, it's your turn."

"good!"

Laozi chuckled softly, walked slowly over, and with a wave of his hand, a Dao Lord who embodied the interplay of Yin and Yang appeared and slowly fell into the "Boundary Fire".

Ji Yuan was shocked as he felt the power of the "Dao Lord" belonging to Laozi.

"This 'Dao Lord' is actually..."

"There are four great roads!"

In Ji Yuan's perception, this "Dao Lord" was formed by the combination of four Dao Lords, which seemed to correspond to Laozi's method of transforming one Qi into three Pure Ones.

As Ji Yuan carefully perceived the profound mysteries of the Dao, he came to a conclusion: it truly is a case of one Qi transforming into three Pure Ones, with each of the four "Taishang Laojun" having a "Dao Master".

"Incredible, my senior uncle can actually do this." Ji Yuan's astonishment was beyond words.

It is already extremely difficult to usurp even one "Dao Lord", let alone four, especially since they were all obtained by Laozi alone.

Ji Yuan then realized that the Supreme Lord Laozi, who usually practiced the Way of Non-Action, had actually reached such a level of strength that he was far ahead of all the Dao Proving Beings present.

No wonder that in most books of my past life, there was a saying that the Dao Ancestor was invincible without the Supreme Lord Laozi, and even more exaggeratedly, there was a saying that as long as the Supreme Lord Laozi had time, there was no Dao Ancestor that could not be killed.

I used to think it was just a joke, but now I realize that if the Dao Ancestor hadn't tricked him into believing in his merits, he might have actually been beaten to death.

Ji Yuan was trying his best to control the "Boundary Fire," and he already knew which four Great Daos it contained.

One is Yin and Yang, another is the vessel, another is the elixir, and yet another is Nirvana.

The artifact and the elixir are not the "Dao Master" possessed by the Chaos Demon God, but this better reflects the astonishing comprehension of Laozi. These two paths, artifact and elixir, were clearly deduced by him. He forcibly occupied the position of "Dao Master" in the boundless chaos, which is truly terrifying.

Under Ji Yuan's refinement, the Chaos Origin and the "Dao Lord" slowly evolved into the shape of the Taiji Diagram, but this Taiji Diagram was different from the previous one.

The original Taiji Diagram evolved from the shattered Heaven-Opening Axe into a primordial treasure, while this Taiji Diagram was forged and nurtured by itself, becoming a primordial treasure. Moreover, the two paths of crafting and alchemy within it grant this Taiji Diagram even greater versatility. When crafting a weapon, it can serve as a furnace, its Yin-Yang Extinction Fire capable of burning everything; when refining an elixir, it can serve as a pill furnace, its Yin-Yang Extinction Pill Fire capable of separating all spiritual essences.

If used as a means of self-defense, it also has the power to transform into the Yin-Yang Dust Array to protect everything. It can also be used to kill enemies. Its power of annihilation is perhaps only slightly inferior to the Tongtian Sword of the Tongtian Sect Master.

Meanwhile, the Dao seekers who were observing also showed expressions of surprise. The Dao within the "Boundary Fire" was clearly of four kinds, and they had comprehended each Dao to an unimaginable degree.

Their expressions as they looked at Laozi varied, but most were filled with shock.

The Heavenly Lord of the Beginning and the Master of the Heavenly Gate looked at the Supreme Lord Laozi with resentment in their eyes, as if to say, "Why are you hiding this so deeply?"

The two men's gazes were like daggers piercing Laozi. Laozi turned his head and asked, "Second brother, third brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader crossed his arms and said coldly, "Big brother has kept it well hidden, not even telling us. It seems some of our brotherhood has become distant."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable, unusually, agreed with the Tongtian Sect Master's statement: "That's right, elder brother has been hiding his abilities far too well."

The tone of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was unusually melancholy. He had originally thought that the Supreme Lord Laozi was similar to them, but he had not expected that he had already reached such a advanced level. He used to think that his elder brother's way of non-action was not in line with the ultimate principles of cultivation. It seems that he had been narrow-minded.

It turns out that the eldest brother is the real master.

Laozi laughed and said, "I told you long ago that there is a method that can help us quickly attain enlightenment, but you didn't believe me."

After he finished speaking, many of the seekers of enlightenment approached him, hoping to hear some valuable insights.

Lao Tzu didn't hide anything. This method wasn't something everyone could use. He flicked his beard and said, "You shall see."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless threads emerged from Laozi's body, and on each thread were countless "Laozi".

“These are threads derived from endless time and space. Look again.”

The countless illusory threads gradually solidified, and they were able to see the scene unfolding within them.

Zhu Jiuyin, who cultivated the Dao of Time and Space, exclaimed upon seeing this situation: "These are the countless possibilities of endless time and space that you yourself have evolved!"

Lao Tzu nodded, and then the scene became clearer. They saw everything and understood everything.

The Supreme One created the heavens, the Supreme One transformed into reincarnation, the Supreme One transformed into all things, the Supreme One transformed into the Demon Emperor, the Supreme One transformed into the Ancestral Witch, the Supreme One transformed into the stars, the Supreme One transformed into the human race, the Supreme One transformed into the Three Sovereigns, the Supreme One transformed into mountains, rivers, grasses, and trees...

In their view, Laozi (Taishang Laojun) has evolved almost everything in the primordial world. In countless unpredictable timelines, Laozi is the origin and the end of everything. He is the father of all things and the son of all things. Everything is him, and he is everything. Infinite reincarnation and infinite revolving, everything is him, thus forming a closed loop of spacetime.

His timeline, which evolved through enlightenment, converged back into his body and returned to its origin, all transforming into the essence of Laozi.

All the Daoists, including Ji Yuan, were greatly shocked. Even those at the level of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal would find it difficult to use such a method. What immense mental strength would it require?

Using this method to expound the Dao is almost like creating another primordial world in a parallel timeline. You can act as any living being or thing in it, but everything will collapse towards the existence you are playing. Using the world as resources, you can push a kind of enlightenment to the extreme. This is the method of Laozi, the method of infinite time and space incarnation.

Of the many Dao-proving beings present, apart from Tongtian Jiaozhu, Yuanshi Tianzun, Nuwa, Jieyin, Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Zhujiuyin who cultivated the Dao of Time and Space, the rest all took a step back, as they could not use this method.

The remaining few looked with great interest at the methods that Laozi had developed, hoping to try and grasp their mysteries.

Lao Tzu did not hold back, and fully displayed his infinite time and space infinite self-cultivation methods.

In fact, he really liked this primordial world now. It was united against external forces, without so much fighting and intrigue. The world was thriving. As long as fate could be dispelled, the primordial true world could be truly stabilized and people's strength could be increased. So, a mere magic method was nothing to worry about.

At this moment, Ji Yuan also completed the complete refining of the "Dao Lord" belonging to Laozi, and combined it with the origin of chaos.

"Senior Uncle, the ritual is complete, it's your turn."

After he finished speaking, the object that resembled a Tai Chi symbol fell into Laozi's body.

Perhaps Laozi's power had reached another level, for in the blink of an eye, the Taiji diagram materialized and floated in his hand.

"Rise," Lao Tzu said softly, multitasking.

Throwing the Taiji diagram high into the sky, it is said that Yin and Yang give rise to all things. Countless elixirs and spiritual treasures surged out of the Taiji diagram and fell to all parts of the primordial world, as a way to benefit the weak and vulnerable creatures of the primordial world.

At this moment, Ji Yuan also absorbed the "Boundary Fire" into his body. After this weapon refining process, he felt that his understanding of the Great Dao had developed further. Refining weapons was also refining the Dao of others.

"Master Uncle, I've also come to take a look."

Ji Yuan cupped his hands in greeting.

"Good!" Laozi nodded, also wanting to see if Ji Yuan had any special talent in this field.

Ji Yuan held his breath and began to comprehend Laozi's Infinite Spacetime Incarnation Technique.

With just one glance, Ji Yuan became completely captivated, and various strange phenomena began to emanate from his body.

"Is this the beginning?"

Lao Tzu was extremely surprised, but he grasped the profound truth in just one glance, which was simply unbelievable.

At this point, Ji Yuan had already created a separate timeline. In that timeline, Ji Yuan transformed into Sun Wukong, subdued his restless mind, tamed his wandering will, saw through the seven emotions and six desires, fought against heaven and earth, and finally attained the Primordial Chaos Realm.

From the outside world's perspective, Ji Yuan may only see that he completed the path to becoming a Great Luo in an instant, but in that timeline, Ji Yuan experienced countless years.

This is the power of Laozi's method.

Just as Ji Yuan was trying to regain his composure, a dark hand, powerful enough to seize the entire world, suddenly appeared in that timeline.

"not good."

Laozi shouted loudly, and endless spacetime power surged, trying to pull Ji Yuan back, but unfortunately, he failed!
