Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 169 A Grand Ambition Fails to Cross the Sea of ​​Yin and Yang

Ma Yuan took a step forward, and his figure completely passed through the outer array filled with endless cycles of life and death.

In an instant, the surrounding scenery changed dramatically!

The laws and principles that were relatively clear to the outside world suddenly became blurred.

In what seemed like an instant, Ma Yuan had traversed endless time and space.

They arrived at a pure land of chaos that had existed since the beginning of time, separate from the primordial world!
The oppressive feeling of the cycle of prosperity and decline is no longer present here.

Instead, it has become an unparalleled paradise teeming with life!
Ancient trees and wolf forests stood tall, and the dense, innate spiritual energy gathered into streams and condensed into clouds and mist.

Even a random immortal herb on the ground is at least ten thousand years old.

Every random spiritual fruit in the mountains has Dao patterns flowing across it.

Everywhere there are rare and precious treasures that are rarely seen in the outside world. Any one of them would be enough to make an ordinary immortal break his head for it.

However, Ma Yuan merely glanced at these spiritual roots and paid them no further attention.

It was only because he could sense an ancient and supreme Daoist aura rising from the center of that continent.

That Daoist aura was so vast.

It seems to have long since transcended the realm of "life" and "death".

It elucidates the ultimate truth of this world.

Before this supreme Daoist aura, the innate spiritual roots scattered all around seemed as insignificant as starlight compared to the bright moon.

"What astonishing Daoist charm!"

Ma Yuan felt a chill run down his spine and, without the slightest hesitation, transformed into a streak of light and sped toward the source of the Daoist aura.

Following the guidance of the Taoist rhyme, Ma Yuan quickly arrived at the central area of ​​Shengzhou Island.

At this moment, all that could be seen was a vast and boundless ocean, within which black and white divine light intertwined and flowed!
This sea is boundless and limitless, seemingly the only place in this world.

In the very center of that vast ocean, there seemed to be an invisible and intangible chasm, clearly dividing the entire sea area in two!
To the left is a dazzling white sea, filled with the rising of pure energy and the meaning of endless creation and growth!
Every drop of crystal-clear seawater within it seems to contain the supreme truth of the beginning of heaven and earth and the origin of all things!

That is not simply vitality, but the ultimate expression of "yang".

To its right lies a dark sea filled with the stagnation of turbid air, a sense of endless desolation and annihilation!
Every wisp of pitch-black Daoist energy within seemed capable of instantly silencing and reducing the indestructible Great Luo Dao Fruit to nothingness!
That is not simply deathly energy, but the ultimate form of "yin".

Yin and Yang, purity and turbidity!
Two completely opposite yet fundamentally the same supreme path, within this vast ocean, form an unparalleled cycle that has long since transcended the realms of decay and prosperity, life and death!

Flowing endlessly, enduring through the ages!
And at the core where the black and white seas meet.

An ancient Taoist palace, entirely constructed from black and white innate Yin-Yang divine jade, floats quietly above the sea.

There was no dazzling light above that palace.

Only the supreme Dao principle of returning to simplicity and truth, expounded on the Dao Palace, reveals the most fundamental Yin-Yang Dao origin of this world!

The plaque above it is inscribed with three ancient characters, written in the chaotic Daoist script that has long been lost to antiquity, conveying endless mystery and vicissitudes—

"Yin Yang Palace"!
Upon witnessing such a scene, even Ma Yuan's current Dao heart was stirred up with tremendous waves!

"The Yin-Yang Ancestor!"

A title, imbued with endless vicissitudes and ancient meaning, arose spontaneously from the depths of his heart at this moment!

In an instant, he had already grasped the cause and effect of the matter!
This place is by no means a simple place where life is created!

Instead, it is the ancient Daoist temple of the supreme being who once discussed the Dao with Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou at the very beginning of the creation of the world—the Yin-Yang Ancestor!
With this thought in mind, Ma Yuan suddenly felt enlightened!
What a grand scheme! What an ingenious disguise!

No wonder the laws here are so different!

It turns out that the so-called Shengzhou was a land full of spiritual roots and immortal herbs.

It simply takes the meaning of "life" manifested by the "yang" aspect of the Yin-Yang principle.

The outer protective array, the Evergreen Trees and Withering Array, is what is known as the "cycle of withering and flourishing."

It is merely the most superficial trace of Daoist charm that dissipates when the fundamental Dao of Yin and Yang merges with each other!
All of this is merely the outermost layer of protection for this dojo.

The greatest opportunity in this world is to attain a position that is on par with the Five Elements Great Dao and points directly to the supreme law of the Primordial Chaos Great Dao!

Yin Yang Avenue!

Ma Yuan slowly lifted his foot and stopped on the shore of the Yin-Yang Sea.

He could clearly sense the seemingly calm Yin-Yang Sea before him.

Its inherent power is enough to completely obliterate an ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortal in an instant.

Ultimately, it transforms into the most fundamental Yin and Yang energies, returning to the cycle of the Great Dao.

The Yin-Yang Dao Palace, which seemed so close at hand, had its gates tightly shut, showing no sign of opening.

Ma Yuan showed no impatience whatsoever.

For him, the purpose of this journey was to verify his own Dao and perfect the unprecedented world beyond the mortal realm.

The primordial sea before us, formed from the Dao Fruit of a Quasi-Saint, is itself a supreme creation that can only be encountered by chance.

As for the inheritance within that palace, it will be unlocked when the time is right.

If the conditions are not right, forcing it is useless.

He simply found a smooth piece of jade on the shore of the Yin-Yang Sea and sat down cross-legged there.

His eyes gazed silently at the distinct black and white primordial sea before him.

At this moment, his entire mind was completely immersed in the supreme principles of the rotation of Yin and Yang and the cycle of the Great Dao. Just as Ma Yuan sat cross-legged on the shore of the Yin-Yang Sea, his mind completely immersed in the supreme principles of the origin of the Great Dao.

Rumble——!
With a violent tremor of the laws, two slightly disheveled figures stepped out with difficulty from the gap in the innate grand formation.

The visitors were none other than Maitreya and Bhaisajyaguru, two figures from the Western religion.

At this moment, they were no longer as composed as before.

Maitreya's wide monk's robe was stained with several visible signs of decay, as if it had been corroded by the endless death energy.

The protective aura surrounding the apothecary was also flickering, clearly indicating that he had consumed a massive amount of magical power during the process of breaking the formation.

However, the moment the two of them passed through the great formation and saw the true scene of this place, all the dishevelment on their faces vanished in an instant!

Like Ma Yuan, they didn't even have a chance to see the spiritual roots and immortal herbs scattered all over the land.

His mind was completely captivated by the supreme Daoist aura emanating from the center of the Yin-Yang Sea!

"This...this...this is not the Dao of Withering and Flourishing! This is...the Origin of Yin and Yang!!!"

Maitreya's face, which always wore a compassionate smile, could no longer maintain its composure!

His gaze fell upon the ancient Dao Palace located in the center of the Yin-Yang Sea!
The Daoist aura emanating from that Daoist palace was so ancient and powerful!
Their status is so high that it has even subtly surpassed the "Nirvana and Reincarnation" doctrine, which is the foundation of their Western religion!
"I had said that this place held extraordinary opportunities, but I never imagined it would be the place where the ancient great master Yin Yang Ancestor perished! Truly, Heaven blesses the West! Heaven blesses Buddhism!"

He was naturally aware that these were ancient beings who could discuss the Dao with the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The inheritance and creation contained within its dojo are far beyond the ordinary category of innate spiritual treasures!
If they could obtain it, it would be enough to make up for much of the already weak foundation of Western religion.

Once this thought came to mind, Maitreya no longer hesitated in the slightest!

He laughed loudly, and his vast Buddhist chant, filled with boundless compassion and the intention to save others, resounded throughout the entire world at that moment!

"Amitabha! The cycle of Yin and Yang, the annihilation of all things in this place, coincides perfectly with the supreme and profound principle of 'annihilation and reincarnation' in Buddhism! It must be destined to be connected with the Western Paradise!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he exchanged a glance with the Taoist pharmacist.

They both saw the same joy in each other's eyes!
They held nothing back and immediately sat cross-legged on the shore of the Yin-Yang Sea.

The Buddha light behind his head, which had been dim, suddenly shone brightly again at this moment!

Two phantom images of Buddhist Pure Lands, filled with endless peace and tranquility, slowly coalesced behind the two of them!

"go with!"

At that moment, Maitreya and the Medicine Master both let out a loud shout!
The two places, which were already perfected Buddhist Pure Lands, transformed into two beams of Buddhist light and precious paths.

Carrying the power of the Buddhist aspirations, it surged towards the vast Yin-Yang Sea that guarded the Dao Palace!

They wanted to use their already perfect and flawless Buddhist path to forcefully open up a pilgrimage route to the Taoist palace within this supreme cycle of Yin and Yang!
However, the supreme Buddhist light, which was enough to make even ordinary Golden Immortals fall into its throes, was completely obliterated the moment it touched the Yin and Yang Seas!

In an instant, it vanished without a sound!
The supreme power of its inner will, capable of saving all living beings, was forcibly annihilated and decomposed under the crushing force of the supreme cycle of yin and yang.

Ultimately, it transformed into the most primal and pure spiritual energy, giving back to this world!

"what?!"

Maitreya's face, which was originally filled with great joy, was instantly filled with disbelief and horror!

He couldn't understand how his Buddhist Pure Land, which had integrated the supreme power of the Western religion, could be so easily dissolved in the face of this seemingly calm Yin-Yang Sea!
The sorrow on the face of the Taoist priest beside him deepened even further.

He immediately made another hand seal in front of him!

The crystal lamp above their heads, which had been dim in its light, now shone brightly once more!
A dazzling, shimmering light, imbued with boundless purity and purification, emanated from the precious lamp.

In an attempt to forcibly purify a path to the Dao Palace from the corrosive influence of Yin and Yang energies!
But the result was still exactly the same!
That precious light, capable of purifying all the filth in the world, is but a drop in the ocean, a firefly's light, before the supreme cycle of yin and yang!

The moment they came into contact, they were easily assimilated and obliterated by the endless rules of the Great Dao, and could no longer stir up even the slightest ripple!

The two tried several supreme Buddhist supernatural powers that had already reached the pinnacle of their abilities, but all of them failed in the face of the seemingly calm Yin-Yang Sea!

Immediately, the expressions on their faces became more solemn than ever before!
It was precisely when Maitreya and the Medicine Master were at a loss on the shore of the Yin-Yang Sea, caught in a dilemma, that Ma Yuan, who had been sitting quietly to the side, shook his head inwardly.

“Foolish child, truly a foolish child.”

He was well aware that the Yin-Yang Sea before him appeared calm.

In reality, it was the Yin-Yang Ancestor who transformed his own Yin-Yang origin, which had already reached the peak of Quasi-Saint!
What it contains is the supreme Yin-Yang principle that has long transcended the realm of ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals!
What kind of being is that Yin-Yang Ancestor?
Those were born at the very beginning of the creation of the world, and were top-tier deities who could discuss the Dao with Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohou!

Legend has it that its true form was the remains of a Chaos Demon God who had perished in the Chaos!
Its origins are so noble, and its cultivation so profound, that it has long surpassed the realm that ordinary innate deities can imagine!

How could the Dao Fruit inheritance left by the Yin Yang Ancestor be forcibly broken by brute force by juniors like Maitreya and the Medicine Master, who are only at the beginning of the Great Luo Realm?

"If you want to enter this palace, the only way is to follow the right path and act in accordance with reason."

Ma Yuan understood; he knew that the Yin-Yang Sea before him was both a test and an opportunity.

Only those with extraordinary talent on the path of Yin and Yang, or those who possess treasures with Yin and Yang attributes, are destined to achieve this.

Only then can one find a glimmer of hope in this seemingly hopeless predicament.

It is at this time!

A dazzling light suddenly erupted from the deepest part of his consciousness without warning!

He recalled the ancient beast that he had forcibly suppressed with his God of Cause and Effect on the East Sea!

Golden-winged Roc, Feathered Immortal!
"That Winged Immortal is a primordial deity born from the primordial phoenix sensing the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth. Its origin contains the purest primordial yin and yang energies!"

"Perhaps...this could be a way to break the deadlock!"
