Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 36. Nine Lives Bearing Tribulation, Dragon Clan Seeks Aid

Before Ji Yuan could react, he was teleported outside the sea eye by the white tiger.

Looking at the sea eye in the distance, he smiled and shook his head:

"Brother Baihu is truly generous."

Ji Yuan picked up the mirror given to him by Bai Hu and looked at it. The mirror was round and exuded a cold, sinister aura.

"what is this?"

Ji Yuan had no recollection of this magical artifact.

After a moment's thought, he poured his magic power into it, and immediately the entire mirror emitted rays of light, as streams of information flooded into his mind.

"So it's the Nine Netherworld Cold Jade Mirror!"

The Nine Netherworld Cold Jade Mirror, Yu Qiang's companion spirit treasure, is a top-grade innate spirit treasure with the ability to reflect the netherworld and communicate between the yin and yang realms.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan finally remembered that the prehistoric world not only had the mortal realm but also the underworld.

In the beginning, when the great god Pangu separated heaven and earth, the pure air rose to become the sky, and the turbid air sank to become the earth. The resentment and yin energy generated by the struggles between various living beings merged with the turbid air to form the underworld, a world completely opposite to the mortal world.

"Wouldn't that mean there's another opportunity to accumulate merit?"

You should know that since Houtu has not yet been reincarnated, the passage between the mortal world and the underworld is not open. At this time, the underworld can be said to be full of treasures.

Leaving aside treasures like the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen, purifying the various evil energies of the underworld is a considerable merit, not to mention the opportunity to directly experience and comprehend the Great Dao of Reincarnation.

"However, this matter still needs to be considered carefully. We should return to the Jie Sect to listen to the teachings and plan for the Great Luo."

With a thought, Ji Yuan conjured a divine wind and headed towards the East Sea.

Halfway there, Ji Yuan entered the small world again.

"I almost forgot about the Record of Mythical Beasts from the Mountains and Seas."

Dissolving the resentment in the White Tiger's small world unlocked a diagram.

With a thought, the Mountain and Sea Mythical Beast Road slowly unfolded, and a nine-tailed mythical beast leaped onto it.

"It really is a nine-tailed fox!"

[Light up the Nine-Tailed Fox illustration to gain the ability: Nine Lives Bearing Tribulation, Enchanting All Beings.]

The catalog transformed into a ray of spiritual light and merged into his body. Ji Yuan sat cross-legged on the spot, carefully comprehending its meaning.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Yuan grasped the Nine-Tailed Fox's abilities.

As the name suggests, Ji Yuan now has nine lives. However, it is unknown whether this ability can bear the "death" of the Great Luo realm.

After all, Da Luo's death was more like falling into a long sleep from which he could not wake up.

As for this allure to all beings.

This ability can be activated actively or passively.

To put it bluntly, actively releasing something is seduction, the kind that doesn't discriminate based on race. In the eyes of the bewitched creature, Ji Yuan is his most precious possession.

However, this ability has both advantages and disadvantages. After all, the primordial world is vast, and the diversity of all living things is even more immense.

As for this passive effect, it's excellent. All living things naturally have a better impression of Ji Yuan. It's truly a divine skill that harmonizes all living beings.

The next image slowly coalesced, and a handsome bird's silhouette leaped onto it.

After touching Kong Xuan's egg a few times, Ji Yuan left the small world and headed straight east.

Sunrise and sunset, ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and finally we arrived at the Jie Sect.

Ji Yuan encountered the Three Immortal Sisters as soon as he arrived at Jin'ao Island.

The Three Immortals were surprised to see that Ji Yuan had returned to the Jie Sect.

"Senior Brother, your speed of movement and flight is too fast! Master has not returned from Kunlun Mountain yet, and it will probably be several decades before he comes back."

A clear, crisp sound came from Bixiao's mouth.

“When Junior Sister Yunxiao sent me a message, I thought the three sages were about to preach, so I sped up my escape.”

Ji Yuan explained to Bi Xiao.

This was also the first time he had traveled at full speed. With the power of the mythical beasts from the mountains and seas and the blessing of the Wind Authority, his speed was now unparalleled below that of a Great Luo Immortal; perhaps many Great Luo Immortals couldn't match his speed. "Ah! It seems Senior Brother has gained quite a bit from his travels. Why didn't he give any to Junior Sister…"

Before Bixiao could finish speaking, Yunxiao gave her a sharp rap on the head, and Bixiao covered her head, too afraid to say anything.

Yunxiao stepped forward, her gentle voice uttering:

"Senior Brother, don't pay any attention to Bixiao. I called you in advance because the Dragon King of the East Sea said that he has a past relationship with you and now needs your help with a big favor."

"Judging from the Dragon King's appearance, it was indeed extremely urgent, so I sent you a message in advance."

Yunxiao was also very surprised. She had sent a message in advance. In his estimation, even a Taiyi Golden Immortal who was good at speed would take more than fifty years to fly from the west to the east. He never expected that Ji Yuan would arrive at the Jie Sect so early.

"Is the Dragon King looking for me?"

"Then I'll go take a look first."

After bidding farewell to the Three Immortals, Ji Yuan flew towards the Dragon Palace.

The Dragon Palace's Dragon Transformation Pool is of paramount importance. It will later become the Eight Treasures Merit Dragon Transformation Pool of the Western Sect, which not only suppressed the Western Sect's fortune but also attracted dragons from all directions to come and join them.

Ji Yuan had no good feelings towards the two saints of the Western Sect. During the Journey to the West, it was their Western Sect's mounts that ate the most people. They talked about cause and effect, karma, and reincarnation. The mounts accumulated so much karma, but there was no real punishment.

“Skulls piled up like mountains, bones formed like forests, human skin hung from trees, and flesh turned to mud.”

It's truly a living hell.

As the progenitor of humankind, in order to prevent future generations from being ruthlessly devoured, it is only natural to do one's part first.

While he was pondering, Ji Yuan had already arrived at the Dragon Palace.

Without needing to announce it, Ao Run had already arrived at the door.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, you're finally back."

Ao Run said sadly.

Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan looked surprised and said:
"What happened to the Dragon King? Why is he so agitated?"

Afterwards, Ao Run told Ji Yuan about what had happened to the Dragon Clan.

Before this, Ao Run had already sought out many disciples of the Jie Sect, but unfortunately, apart from Ji Yuan, only the Tongtian Sect Leader was skilled in divination. However, the Tongtian Sect Leader was extremely busy and had no time to help him.

Ji Yuan's expression shifted slightly upon hearing what Ao Run said. It was indeed related to the Dragon Transformation Pool. Without the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Dragon Clan would directly decline.

Burdened by overwhelming karma, the bloodline of the dragon descendants becomes weaker with each generation, and without the Dragon Transformation Pool, it is difficult to even become a true dragon.

Unexpectedly, a traitor had emerged from within the Dragon Clan.

Knowing the gravity of the situation, Ji Yuan said to Ao Run:
"Is there anything tainted by Ao Hai's aura? Using his aura for deduction would be more accurate."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ao Run quickly replied.

He then took a wine glass out of his sleeve.

Ji Yuan held the wine cup in his hand, unfolded the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos, and immediately infinite Daoist principles emerged, expounding the ultimate truths of the universe.

Seeing such an extraordinary phenomenon, Ao Run felt a sense of relief.

The Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos flowed endlessly in Ji Yuan's hands. An aura emerged from the wine cup. Following this aura, Ji Yuan explored the cause and effect of the past and present, sensed the energy of heaven and earth, and sought the changes in time and space.

Finally, we saw Ao Hai's location.

At this moment, he transformed into a dragon, and the Ancestral Dragon Pearl was slowly merging into his body, with a blue divine dragon protecting him.

Ji Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and said:
He is in Beihai.

Ji Yuan then condensed a Bagua diagram and handed it to Ao Run:
"This Bagua will guide you in the right direction."

"Remember, you must do everything in your power to reclaim the Dragon Transformation Pool. Under no circumstances should you show any mercy."

Ji Yuan offered a timely reminder.

Ao Run nodded, accepted the Bagua, and quickly thanked him. Then, two vast auras enveloped Ao Run and tore through the void.
