Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 20. Resolving Resentment and Gaining the Power of the Wind
In the sky, a colossal dragon, of unknown size, coiled.

On the sea, a creature with a human face and a bird's body, standing on two snakes, confronts a divine dragon.

Ji Yuan is positioned between the two.

"Is this the scene of the final battle between Zu Long and Yu Jiang?"

He realized that his experience was not simply a matter of watching Yu Jiang's memories.

The abundance of spiritual energy and the easier-to-understand laws compared to reality reminded Ji Yuan that he had entered a different world.

"Could this be a fragment of history that Yu Jiang extracted?"

Just as Ji Yuan was marveling at the quasi-sage's immense supernatural powers...

Zu Long and Yu Jiang have already clashed.

The First Dragon was born from chaos and was born with the power over water.

With a single move, the Milky Way seemed to reverse.

The innate Gui water seals the void, the three thousand weak waters confine its form, and the three thousand layers of water press down, seemingly about to crush the heavens.

Yu Jiang was also born from chaos and was born with the power to control the wind.

As beings of the same chaotic origin, how could we fear the Ancestral Dragon?

A strong wind howled between heaven and earth.

Samadhi Wind, Chaotic Gale, and World-Destroying Calamity Wind are all at his fingertips.

When feng shui and feng shui intersect, heaven and earth fall silent.

The entire North Sea was breached, exposing the seabed.

For a time, the two were evenly matched.

The battle between Zu Long and Yu Jiang lasted for an unknown period of time.

Every spell cast is a perfect interpretation of the path one is walking.

Ji Yuan stood to the side, completely absorbed.

Observing powerful beings engage in magical battles can broaden one's knowledge and verify one's own learning.

Moreover, it's a battle between powerful beings at such a level.

Even though he couldn't resolve the lingering regret this time, Ji Yuan felt it was all worth it.

An unknown amount of time passed.

Yu Jiang's heart was shattered by Zu Long's claw, and Yu Jiang was defeated in this battle.

In terms of their understanding of the Dao, Zulong and Yujiang were actually quite similar.

However, the First Emperor was a saint who achieved enlightenment through his physical body, and in that era, there were very few who could rival him in terms of physical strength.

With Yu Jiang's defeat, Ji Yuan's world collapsed, and Yu Jiang's figure appeared before him.

Yu Jiang's lingering spirit did not speak, but stared at Ji Yuan for a while before dissipating into nothingness.

Just as Ji Yuan was wondering, a mysterious power surged into his spiritual platform.

Ji Yuan closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Time flies by and years pass by.

Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Yuan opened his eyes, and a golden beam of light surged into his body.

"This is so much merit?"

As Ji Yuan resolved Yu Jiang's lingering resentment and restored vitality to the North Sea, Heaven bestowed its blessings as desired.

Merit is a universal remedy, applicable to almost every aspect of life, from refining treasures to cultivating oneself and attaining enlightenment.

The merit bestowed by Heaven this time was so great that it was almost enough for Ji Yuan to condense a golden body of merit.

Having acquired the Golden Body of Merit, if someone of a higher realm were to attack him, it would be an offense against the Heavenly Dao, incurring its wrath.

"It seems you have successfully resolved Yu Jiang's resentment."

Xuanwu's voice suddenly rang out.

Ji Yuan quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for this opportunity, Divine Lord."

Xuanwu shook his head and said:

“Yu Jiang is my closest friend, and I do not want to see his resentment causing chaos and suffering in Beihai.”

"Now that you have dispelled my resentment, it can be considered that a knot in my heart has been untied."

Xuanwu looked him over again:
"It seems you have also inherited his power over the wind."

Ji Yuan nodded.

Then, with a thought, his body rose with the wind.

Without any fluctuation of magical power, it simply took flight. This was the power of the wind, capable of manipulating the Great Dao of Wind without the need for magical power.

However, the amount of power mobilized is also closely related to one's own strength.

After gaining control of the wind, Ji Yuan's strength was greatly enhanced.

Originally, due to his cultivation level, he could only use the incomplete version of the Chaos Gale. Now, with the help of the Authority of Wind, he can directly use the complete version of the Chaos Gale.

It could even stir up a wisp of apocalyptic wind.

Ji Yuan then took out the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag and stored it in his spiritual platform.

The Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag is one of the Five Primordial Flags, possessing the ability to control all waters.

This treasure is not good at killing, but it has extremely strong defensive capabilities, ranking among the top three treasures in the prehistoric world.

Unfortunately, Yu Jiang died, and many of his magical treasures were taken away by the Ancestral Dragon.

In his mind, Yu Jiang was not only the god of wind, but also the god of sea and the god of plague.

Now, only the power of the wind is visible, and it is unknown whether it was taken away by the First Dragon.

Then Ji Yuan looked at Xuanwu and asked:

"The divine lord possesses profound magical power, why not go out and explore this vast and primordial world?"

Ji Yuan could sense that Xuanwu was extremely powerful, with an aura comparable to that of the Ancestral Dragon, and its physical body also appeared to be quite remarkable.

Why live in the barren land of Beihai?

Xuanwu looked at Ji Yuan and let out a soft laugh:
“I was born when the world was first created, and I have seen the primordial world long ago.”

"The general trend of heaven and earth is not static."

"I have witnessed the battles between gods and demons, the struggle between dragons, phoenixes, and unicorns, and I have also visited the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao."

"Even the mighty Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, became an insignificant ripple in the vast ocean of power."

"From that time on, I understood the principle of self-preservation."

Ji Yuan was shocked; it turned out that Xuanwu was a living fossil from the primordial era.

The Dragon-Han Calamity involved all living beings in the world. Xuanwu's realm was enough to influence the situation to a certain extent, yet he was able to remain calm.

"Rather than fighting to the death, it's better to find a place to stay peacefully."

"Now that we're suppressing the sea eye in Beihai, wouldn't it be wonderful to accumulate merit just by sleeping every day?"

Ji Yuan was speechless. This was just a security guard, while Xuanwu seemed to be living a retired life ahead of schedule.

"It's you."

Xuanwu changed the subject.

“I can sense that you have made changes amidst this vast trend.”

“The subtle threads of fate have already been altered because of you; logically, you should be entangled in numerous causes and effects.”

"But that's the strange thing. Your mind is clear and untainted by cause and effect. It's really quite strange."

Ji Yuan was shocked; he hadn't expected Xuanwu to be so perceptive.

Is everything I've done so clear in the eyes of the Great Power?

What Ji Yuan didn't know was that the tortoise shell on Xuanwu's back corresponded to the innate Yin and Yang numbers, and had the ability to predict the past and future.

"such a pity!"

"Small trends can be changed, but large trends are hard to reverse!"

Xuanwu sighed.

"Those who can transform into tens of thousands of yuan and attend the gatherings are few and far between, and can be my fellow Daoists."

“I once advised Yu Jiang to give up his authority as the Sea God, but he refused and insisted on going against the will of Heaven and Earth, ultimately leading to his death and the dissipation of his soul.”

“My poor Fellow Daoist Xuan Gui, who has never been involved in karma in his life, still has to return to the world in the end.”

Ji Yuan was startled. It seemed that Xuanwu had glimpsed a corner of the future. He asked at the opportune moment:
"Has the Divine Lord glimpsed a corner of the future?"

"Oh?"

"It seems that you, a junior among the human race, also possess innate divination abilities."

Xuanwu was extremely surprised at this moment. He was born with the principles of Yin and Yang, and his form was that of a tortoise and a snake, with the tortoise shell secretly conforming to the destiny of Heaven.

Therefore, he could see many things that had never happened, but he never expected that this junior human would have similar abilities.

It seems that his ability to accurately find himself is not only due to his amazing luck, but also guided by destiny.

Ji Yuan said, "Since birth, I have been able to avoid calamities from the unseen world."

"During the day trip, various images flooded my mind."
