Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Although formations are mysterious, humans still know how to use them. Don't forget that humans are descendants of Nuwa, and Nuwa's elder brother, Fuxi, was one of the most renowned masters of formations in the primordial world.

After creating humans, Nuwa worried that the human race would not live well. When leaving behind her legacy, she not only left behind her own legacy, but also left behind several copies of the legacy of Emperor Xi, including the legacy of array formation.

After all, the Dao of Formations is a universally acknowledged supreme method in the primordial world, capable of defeating the many with the few and the strong with the weak.

The three ancestors of the human race each had their own strengths: the Fire Ancestor excelled in wisdom, the Black Ancestor in creation, and the Nest Ancestor was most skilled in formations.

It was precisely for this reason that Jiang Yuan proposed the idea of ​​combining architecture with formations.

Upon hearing this proposal, Youchao was as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened, easily combining the two and going further and further down this path.

Give him some more time, and he'll probably be able to fully integrate architecture and formations, thus creating a magical artifact of architectural type.

Such large magical artifacts are rare in the prehistoric world. If Youchao can achieve this, he will not be an unknown figure in the art of weapon crafting, and he is expected to become a master of weapon crafting in the future.

……

Exquisite clothing, magnificent architecture, and new things that have appeared among humans have captivated visitors from other races, who are willing to trade their most precious treasures.

In response, the human race timely raised its own needs, asking other races to help find silkworms that lacked intelligence but were skilled at spinning silk.

It's so obvious; even the most foolish person should have guessed that human clothing is related to silk. However, the outsiders who heard this didn't even consider that possibility.

This is not to say that they are stupid, but that the heavenly secrets related to this matter have been shielded by the goddess Nuwa. Unless their strength reaches a certain level, no matter how smart they are, they cannot make this connection.

Developing trade, collecting taxes, and exporting culture—these are roughly the changes humanity has undergone in the last hundred years. It may not seem like much, but compared to humanity a hundred years ago, the world has truly transformed.

Apart from the people, everything else has undergone tremendous changes. Resources, in particular, have not only increased in quantity but also become more diverse.

Thanks to these resources, Jiang Yuan's strength has greatly improved over the past century despite being distracted by other things. He reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage early on and was just half a step away from becoming a Celestial Immortal.

Or to be more precise, he had already met the conditions for becoming an immortal thirty years ago, but he just didn't dare to break through.

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuan felt like he'd been screwed over, utterly frustrated. In the past century, he had twice attempted to break through to the Celestial Immortal realm, both times ending in failure.

The first failure is understandable, but the second failure is painful. It's not that you can't succeed, but that you can succeed but don't dare to break through.

If Jiang Yuan wants to cultivate into a Celestial Immortal, he must first condense nine incarnations and then fuse them into one. Only in this way can he cultivate into the realm of a Creation Celestial Immortal.

These nine incarnations can be primordial beings, primordial true spirits, or even primordial gods and demons. In short, the higher the life level of the incarnation, the stronger its combat power will be after cultivating into a Celestial Immortal.

Jiang Yuan was extremely proud and arrogant. If he wanted to condense an avatar, he would definitely choose the strongest one. Therefore, he chose to condense the nine innate divine and demonic avatars.

That's no problem; it's not difficult for him, especially given that humans are controlling more and more resources.

In just thirty years, by devouring the essence of ferocious beasts and accumulating abundant resources, Jiang Yuan successfully condensed nine divine and demonic avatars. Then, he fused them into one, transforming them into a Dao Fruit of Creation.

Jiang Yuan's first attempt at breaking through failed, and he was defeated here.

The nine divine and demonic avatars he condensed—the Savage Fish, the Qilin Horse, the Mountain Lord…—were powerful, but they were completely unrelated and of different origins, making their fusion extremely difficult.

Of course, as long as Jiang Yuan is willing to expend his merits to activate the Creation Jade Disc, he can still force a fusion.

But Jiang Yuan did the math and felt it wasn't worth it. Rather than expending a lot of merit to forcibly merge them, it would be better to re-condense the nine god-demon avatars of the same origin.

Although this would consume more resources, the human race now acquires resources far faster than they can accumulate merit.

Faced with the choice between consuming more resources or consuming more merit, Jiang Yuan chose the former.

Normal people would make this choice because good deeds are more precious than resources; they are a safety net and can truly save lives in critical moments.

Thus, Jiang Yuan spent another thirty years re-condensing nine divine and demonic avatars of the same origin: Kunyu, Yue Tuo, Ni Lu, Gu Niu, Lei Tuo, Yun Shen, Shan Jun, Huang Ling Ying, and Xuan She.

These nine seemingly unrelated gods and demons can be combined by taking the eyes of a rabbit, the antlers of a deer, the mouth of a cow, the head of a camel, the belly of a clam, the paws of a tiger, the claws of an eagle, the scales of a fish, and the body of a snake to form the Primordial Azure Dragon.

The Primordial Azure Dragon is a primordial ferocious beast formed from the flesh and blood of the Chaos Demon God, the Chaos Dragon. It is comparable to the innate deities and is an existence on the same level as the Ancestral Dragon.

After condensing these nine divine and demonic avatars, Jiang Yuan felt that this breakthrough was secure and there was absolutely no possibility of failure.

However, on the eve of his breakthrough, he suddenly realized that he had not made any mistakes in his cultivation, but had made a huge mistake in his stance.

He's got his stance wrong; his position is flawed.

Who created the primordial world? The great god Pangu!

Who was the greatest enemy of the primordial world? The Chaos Demon God!

What kind of Dharma form is he preparing to condense for his breakthrough? The Primordial Azure Dragon.

Who is the Primordial Azure Dragon? A descendant of the Chaos Demon God, and the common enemy of all living beings in the primordial world. Long before the three races, in the era when the primordial world had just been created, the Primordial Azure Dragon was besieged and killed by a group of innate deities.

Upon realizing this, Jiang Yuan immediately understood that he had made another mistake in choosing his avatar. He shouldn't have chosen the innate ferocious beast, but rather the innate god-demon of the Pangu pantheon.

Once the Primordial Azure Dragon Dharma Form is formed, although it will not endanger his life, it will cause him to be rejected by the mainstream and forever marginalized.

Imagine everyone practices the Pangu method, but you practice the demon god method. Would anyone even look at you seriously? Of course, they'd collectively reject you and belittle you…

What can Jiang Yuan do if he makes another wrong choice? He can only learn from the experience and reassemble his nine incarnations.

Actually, it is possible to cultivate demonic arts, but only if you have a powerful background. If you are a disciple of a sage, you can cultivate not only demonic arts but also demonic arts, and no one will find it problematic.

But for ordinary people, this is a forbidden law, and they can't even touch it.

Jiang Yuan is merely a creation of a sage, and is still a long way from being a disciple of a sage. Therefore, he can secretly learn forbidden techniques like the Demon God Technique, but he cannot make it his main cultivation method, and he must not be discovered by others.

If it cannot be used as the primary cultivation method, it means that Jiang Yuan cannot cultivate to become a Celestial Immortal using this method. Therefore, the nine incarnations must be replaced.

Having learned from his mistakes, Jiang Yuan chose to condense nine divine and demonic avatars this time, namely Qiuniu, Yazi, Chaofeng, Pulao, Suanni, Bixi, Bian, Fuxi, and Chiwen.
