Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 135 The Variables of Heaven's Dao
Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, in the endless depths of chaos.

An ancient and solemn Taoist palace is quietly suspended here.

The Purple Cloud Palace has no immortals serving there, nor any imperial edicts.

On the high platform, on the cloud bed.

The figure in the seemingly ordinary gray Taoist robe slowly opened his eyes.

There is neither sorrow nor joy, neither good nor evil within it; it seems to reflect the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth of all living beings since the beginning of time, and the rise and fall of countless eons.

Hongjun Daozu!

He has long since merged with the Heavenly Dao, and will not emerge except in a great eon.

With a single thought, one can investigate all the affairs of the primordial universe.

With a single word, he could determine the fate of all living beings in the world.

However, at this moment, the Dao Ancestor, who was already one with the Heavenly Dao, had a rare, almost imperceptible ripple in his eyes.

His gaze fell directly on the river of time that spanned the past, present, and future.

In that vast river, countless living beings still shine brightly.

However, there was one place that was quietly left empty.

That wisp of true spirit belonging to "Ma Yuan" completely vanished into nothingness from this long river!
"Ok?"

A soft "Eh" came from the mouth of the supreme Dao Ancestor.

He is in harmony with the Way of Heaven, and can know the affairs of the universe in the blink of an eye.

However, such anomalies that can transcend the laws of nature are unheard of throughout the endless ages since the beginning of time.

The Great Luo Golden Immortal's true spirit transcends the river of time, and its imprint must be entrusted to the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

This is the ironclad law governing the workings of Heaven, unchanging throughout the ages!

Even the three thousand mortals he personally trained in Zixiao Palace could not surpass these heavenly rules.

But now there is a newly promoted Great Luo cultivator whose true spirit imprint has not only not been entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, but has completely disappeared from the river of time?!
This move is tantamount to jumping out of the chessboard right under the nose of Heaven!

Boom——!!!!!!

Almost the instant that Hongjun Daozu sensed it, the entire boundless chaos surged violently!
Countless eons of clouds gathered wildly from the void!
A series of purplish-black divine lightning bolts, powerful enough to make even ordinary quasi-saints change color, were frantically brewing within the tribulation clouds.

"Interesting...really interesting."

Faced with this strange phenomenon, Hongjun murmured to himself.

A rare glint of interest flashed in his usually indifferent eyes.

He slowly raised his hand and gently touched the void.

Endless Daoist secrets flowed through his fingertips as he attempted to deduce what changes had occurred in the past and future of the being named "Ma Yuan".

However, in his deductions...

Everything related to Ma Yuan has turned into a chaotic and unclear void.

It was as if they had been completely isolated by a complete world that existed independently of the primordial world!
Hongjun Daozu understood.

He naturally knew that he only needed to use the power of the primordial Heavenly Dao that had long since merged with him.

In an instant, that world can be forcibly torn apart, and the anomaly can be dragged out to find out what's going on.

After all, although that being had attained the Great Luo of the Outer Realm, its physical body remained within this primordial world.

Ultimately, they never truly broke free.

However, Hongjun did not do so.

"I have merged with the Dao, hoping to find a glimmer of hope for countless beings under the great trend of the Heavenly Dao, but I have never been able to find the right method."

He let out a soft sigh, his voice carrying a hint of indescribable loneliness.

He recalled his numerous attempts to defy the prevailing will of Heaven in his strategic moves.

All of them ended in failure under the irreversible torrent of the Heavenly Dao, and in the end they could only merge with the Dao to make up for the fate of Heaven, unable to seek an opportunity for all living beings to transcend under the Heavenly Dao.

"I never imagined that there truly are beings born after death, who, through their own perseverance and wisdom, can forge their own path to transcendence on this predetermined chessboard of destiny..."

"good."

He slowly withdrew his fingers that had been used to deduce the secrets of heaven.

Then, he simply flicked his sleeve lightly towards the endless chaos that was already shrouded in calamity clouds.

In an instant, the heavenly tribulation clouds that were enough to make even a quasi-saint city change color vanished into thin air!
It's as if it never happened. ...

Inside the Jade Pool Immortal Abode, Ma Yuan was completely unaware of everything that was happening deep within the chaos.

He slowly stood up from the blue stone cushion.

Feel the perfect and flawless, self-contained, and magnificent Daoist charm within your body.

My mind is completely clear.

The gains from this trip to the Western Kunlun Mountains far exceeded his initial expectations.

Not only did he find the supreme opportunity to forge the innate Five Elements Dao Body under the guidance of the Queen Mother of the West.

He went all out and attained the unprecedented Great Luo Dao Fruit beyond the mortal realm.

Such an immense favor deserves a personal visit to express our gratitude, both out of courtesy and reason.

Without further delay, he straightened his clothes and slowly walked out of the tranquil immortal abode that had been in seclusion for countless millennia.

The Jade Pool Golden Palace remains shrouded in ethereal mist.

When Ma Yuan, dressed in a blue robe, stepped into this ancient and solemn temple once again.

On that cloud bed, the dazzling light of the Queen Mother of the West suddenly trembled violently without warning!
As a quasi-saint, he had already merged with the Dao and could clearly perceive the cause and effect of all things in the primordial world.

However, at this moment, it was within her Daoist perception.

The Taoist priest in the blue robe before them had become incredibly strange!

Although Ma Yuan's aura had returned to its original simplicity, one could still sense the immense vitality contained within his physical body.

However, in her perception of the Dao, that location was a complete void!

It was as if there was an invisible, intangible, yet indestructible barrier between him and the entire primordial world.

All the causes and effects, fortune, and even the laws of the Great Dao in this world.

It was as if they had bypassed his existence and could no longer touch him at all!
Even the Queen Mother of the West, with her calm and composed Dao heart that had already experienced countless eons, couldn't help but feel puzzled by such a sight.

"This junior, Ma Yuan, thanks Your Majesty for your guidance over countless years. Now that I have achieved the Great Dao, I have come to bid you farewell."

Ma Yuan did not notice anything unusual about the Queen Mother of the West.

He simply bowed deeply to the Dao Guang on the cloud bed, his voice filled with heartfelt gratitude.

A long silence fell over the main hall.

After a long while, the gentle and vast voice of the Queen Mother of the West slowly resounded once again in Ma Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Young friend... what kind of enlightenment have you attained?"

"I can no longer sense your presence in this vast and desolate world."

Although she knew that Ma Yuan intended to perform that extraordinary act of defying one's innate nature.

However, he never expected that the Dao fruit he ultimately attained was not the ordinary Great Luo Dao fruit.

Such attainments are beyond the comprehension of even a quasi-saint like the Queen Mother of the West.

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, but then smiled calmly.

He knew that his extraordinary path to immortality could not ultimately escape the discerning eyes of a top-tier being like the Queen Mother of the West.

He immediately responded humbly and respectfully:

"The queen is so impressed."

"I was merely fortunate enough to find a small path to true freedom among the myriad paths of life."

"From now on, I will no longer be burdened by heaven and earth, nor will I be tainted by cause and effect."

Upon hearing this, the Dao light on the cloud bed fluctuated even more violently!

Unburdened by heaven and earth, untouched by cause and effect!
Even for a quasi-saint like her, who was born at the beginning of time, such a realm was something she could only dream of but could never attain!

The Queen Mother of the West remained silent for a long time, and ultimately said nothing more.

With a flick of her finger, an ancient token, carved entirely from natural jade, floated quietly in front of Ma Yuan.

"This is a token of my Western Kunlun, young friend, please keep it safe."

"If you have any further questions about your spiritual practice, or if you are tired of the disturbances of the outside world."

"You may bring this token to my sacred land of West Kunlun at any time and sit down with me to discuss the Dao."
