Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 7.7. Body Merged with the Five Elements, Heavenly Fortune Bestowed Upon Him

"Purple Lightning Hammer!"

"Taiyi Refined Gold!!!"

Upon seeing this treasure, Ji Yuan's joy was palpable. The Purple Lightning Hammer was a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and moreover, a thunder-attribute spiritual treasure. It complemented Ji Yuan's Wind and Thunder Dao Body, and when combined with the Upper Clarity Divine Thunder, its power was unimaginable.

Ji Yuan's surprise was evident, while Duobao Daoren's reaction was more exaggerated, with his eyes widening and his body trembling.

Taiyi Refined Gold, a primordial-grade ore, is forged by lightning tribulation atop Kunlun Mountain. It takes 100,000 years to take shape. It is as light as a feather and as hard as a star, making it the finest ore for forging flying swords. Combined with the Wind and Thunder Ore obtained by Daoist Duobao, it might be possible to forge an extraordinary treasure.

Both of these treasures are of immeasurable value. Objectively speaking, the Purple Lightning Hammer may be more precious than the Taiyi Refined Gold, but for Duobao, all kinds of refining materials are his true love.

Duobao, Duobao, not only is his amazing luck in easily obtaining treasures, but the art of weapon crafting is also the foundation of his enlightenment.

Neither Ji Yuan nor Daoist Duobao declined. How could they refuse the words of a sage? To do so would only make them appear hypocritical.

Seeing that the two had accepted the treasures, the Tongtian Sect Leader smiled at Ji Yuan and said, "I observe that your five elements are perfected; it's time for you to enter the Taiyi realm!"

Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader raised a sword light, and the entire cave trembled slightly. In an instant, they returned to Biyou Palace together with the cave.

If Ji Yuan and Daoist Duobao were to travel on their own, even traveling at top speed without stopping, it would still take them eight to ten years. This demonstrates the power of a sage.

"The disciple retire."

Ji Yuan and Daoist Duobao bowed respectfully, then each left their respective grottoes and flew to their own cave dwellings, one to break through to a higher realm and the other to prepare various precious materials for refining weapons.

Back in his cave, Ji Yuan opened the Record of Mythical Beasts from the Mountains and Seas. He saw that the Qilin's veins were fully illuminated, granting him the ability: [Control the Five Elements, Heavenly Fortune Bestowed Upon Him].

Indeed, passing on the Dharma to the human race was the right choice. As the saying goes, good deeds bring good results. By passing on the Dharma to the human race, Ji Yuan will be able to light up the meridians of the diagram as the human race improves its realm. It's just that the human race's realm is low, so the speed at which the meridians are lit up is relatively slow. However, since he can make progress without leaving home, why not?

"However, I don't feel any control over the five elements."

As if sensing Ji Yuan's thoughts, the Record of Mythical Beasts transformed into a stream of light and flowed into Ji Yuan's body.

"This……"

"The Record of Mythical Beasts can actually do this?"

"The Qilin is both an auspicious beast and a divine beast. Could it be because it is a divine beast?"

In an instant, Ji Yuan felt an endless surge of the five elements energy into his body.

The Daoist practice of gathering the five elements in the chest actually refers to the accumulation of the five elements' energy in the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Ji Yuan's five elements were already perfected, so the five elements power flowing into his body could not bring him quantitative improvement, but rather qualitative change.

Cultivation knows no time; a thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye.

The acquired five elements are transforming into the innate five elements, gradually condensing into the innate five elements Dao seeds.

With the seven innate Dao seeds of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, supplemented by the five acquired Dao seeds condensed from listening to the Three Pure Ones' teachings, namely talismans, arrays, swords, pills, and artifacts, Ji Yuan broke through his cultivation realm. It is unknown how terrifying Ji Yuan's foundation is.

If not now, when?

The next moment, Ji Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, using the Shangqing Immortal Technique to intercept the primordial primordial energy that was wandering between heaven and earth.

Then, he used the power of his primordial spirit to refine the Dao seeds. The seven innate Dao seeds and five acquired Dao seeds slowly transformed into Dao patterns and were imprinted on his Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

However, don't underestimate the power of acquired Dao seeds. If Ji Yuan can attain the Great Luo Dao, he can also reverse the innate Dao through acquired means.

Just like the Tongtian Sect Leader, his acquired swordsmanship transformed into innate skill, capable of cutting and breaking through anything.

Once one reaches a certain level, acquired abilities are no less powerful than innate ones. What Ji Yuan needs to do now is to unify these Great Daos, transform them into one Qi, and allow the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit to reach its ultimate sublimation, transforming into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

This is also in preparation for the Great Luo realm, a realm of infinite time and space, eternal freedom, the one and only one condensed in the infinite.

The more solid the foundation, the better.

The next moment, Ji Yuan stepped out of the cave, with a colorful, illusory Dao Fruit above his head and streams of immortal light falling around him, preparing to receive the baptism of lightning tribulation.

Instead of gathering dark clouds of tribulation, the sky was covered with auspicious five-colored clouds, which amazed the disciples of the three religions.

This is what is meant by "heaven bestowing its favor," a blessing from heaven and earth.

The Tongtian Sect Leader sensed something and looked in the direction where Ji Yuan was undergoing his "tribulation," a smile appearing on his face:

"To be able to comprehend the Dao of Taiyi after a thousand years is quite an improvement compared to when you first entered the path, but this fortune is truly astonishing."

The Supreme Lord Laozi and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable also sensed this tribulation and were somewhat astonished, realizing that Ji Yuan's fortune was so terrifying.

"Boom."

The five-colored lightning struck Ji Yuan, but it had no destructive power whatsoever; instead, it possessed a transformative power as gentle as a breeze.

Amidst the intertwining of brilliant lights, Ji Yuan had already passed the Heavenly Tribulation, and his physical body and primordial spirit had entered the Taiyi realm. However, the auspicious five-colored clouds did not disappear, but instead fell directly into Ji Yuan's physical body, which then radiated streams of essence, with five-colored light flowing around it.

The Human Flower, representing the essence among the three flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, had been completed. The strange phenomenon ended, and Ji Yuan stepped into the cave to stabilize his realm, consolidate his Dao fruit, and plan his future path. Another hundred years passed before Ji Yuan emerged from seclusion.

Open the Record of Mythical Beasts from the Mountains and Seas; one mythical beast has already been activated. [Activating the mythical beast, the Manta Ray, grants the ability "Peace of Mind."]

"..."

A skill that allows one to calm down is better than nothing.

After settling everything, Ji Yuan went to Biyou Palace to pay his respects to the Tongtian Sect Leader. However, the Tongtian Sect Leader was not at Biyou Palace. Ji Yuan then went to the cave of Duobao Daoist and learned that the Tongtian Sect Leader had gone to the Supreme Lord Laozi.

Daoist Duobao then told him that in recent years, the Tongtian Sect Leader had taken in many disciples, most of whom had average backgrounds and fortunes, but their ability to cause trouble was top-notch.

Duobao Daoist was actually quite annoyed. Since Ji Yuan was in seclusion, he naturally took on the responsibility of the senior disciple and managed the new disciples in the sect.

However, he was engrossed in weapon crafting and cultivation. In order to manage his disciples, he still hadn't gathered enough materials for his Taiyi Refined Gold. Therefore, he handed over the responsibility of managing his disciples to Zhao Gongming, the eldest disciple of the outer sect.

Yes, during the years Ji Yuan was in seclusion, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming had already become disciples of the Tongtian Sect Master.

Outer disciples are different from true disciples. True disciples are ranked according to time, while outer disciples are ranked according to strength.

It was perfectly reasonable for Zhao Gongming to be the top disciple of the outer sect, given his strength. However, he was too honest and kind, and was often deceived by some disciples with wicked intentions.

Recently, because some outer disciples wanted to eat the White Crane Boy of the Antarctic Immortal, the Antarctic Immortal injured the outer disciples.

This caused a fight between the Tongtian Sect Leader and the Primordial Heavenly Lord, and now the Supreme Lord Laozi has summoned them to mediate the conflict.

Ji Yuan sighed inwardly:

"As expected, the principle of teaching without discrimination still does more harm than good. I need to think of a way to screen the new disciples."

"However, the separation of the Three Pure Ones was due to differences in their philosophies. The disputes among the disciples were merely a minor trigger. But if we can prevent those despicable people from joining the sect, we can preserve more of the sect's fortune."

Thinking of this, Ji Yuan immediately went to the Taiqing Hall to find the three sages.
