Eat, eat, eat in the primordial world

Chapter 9 Merit is hard to come by

Whether it's the Fire Seed Method or the Breathing Method, although they can enable acquired beings to break through to the Innate Realm, they can only awaken the lowest level of Innate Bloodline.

By practicing the body-refining method created by Jiang Yuan, one can awaken a stronger true spirit bloodline, or even an innate divine or demonic bloodline.

As for the strongest divine bloodline, this is not something a lowly cultivator in the Innate Realm can awaken. It is too powerful; one must cultivate to the level of a Celestial Immortal to bear its immense power.

That is why Jiang Yuan only awakened the divine and demonic bloodline earlier, and did not go further to directly awaken the divine bloodline.

"There are advantages to being weak. Because we are born the weakest, we are more malleable and can change our fate through hard work."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, sometimes being weak isn't all bad. Because he was so weak, he had one more chance to defy fate than others.

Yes, every breakthrough is an opportunity for a cultivator to defy fate and change their destiny.

Although beings born after birth are many times weaker than beings born after birth, they have one more chance to break through to the Innate Realm. Isn't that one more chance to defy fate?

Don't underestimate this extra opportunity. Many people fail to make it to the end, perhaps because they lack this very opportunity.

"Heaven's way is impartial; for every gain, there is a loss, and for every loss, there is a gain."

Sui Zu nodded, agreeing with this view.

"That makes sense. So, while my body-refining method is excellent, it's not without its price."

"First of all, the resources required to awaken a stronger bloodline will be several times, or even dozens of times, that of an ordinary person."

"Secondly, the stronger the awakened bloodline, the more concentrated the holy aura originating from the Holy Mother will be on the body. This will cause our human race to become a panacea in the eyes of other races, who will all want to devour us whole."

The benefits of body-refining methods are obvious, but when analyzing something, we can't just look at the advantages; we also need to talk about the disadvantages. Now, Jiang Yuan will talk about the disadvantages of practicing body-refining methods.

It should be noted that the dragon race is related to the human race, yet even so, Mu Jiao couldn't resist the urge to devour Jiang Yuan. If it were any other race, they would have acted even more directly.

"I understand what you're saying. But these are the prices that humanity must pay if it wants to rise to power."

"If a race gives up the opportunity to rise because it is afraid of sacrifice, it will be stuck at the bottom and be bullied for its entire life."

How could the Ancestor of Fire not see these disadvantages? But as the saying goes, to survive in the prehistoric world, one must be strong enough.

Therefore, as long as it can make the human race stronger, paying some price for it is entirely worthwhile and necessary.

If we don't become stronger, the price will only be higher!

"You are still too weak, and we cannot let too many people know of your existence. Therefore, I have decided to arrange for you to reside in the temple."

"That's a place dedicated to the Holy Mother, protected by the saint. It's not only safe, but it also shields you from all divine secrets, and the spiritual energy is extremely abundant."

"There, you can cultivate in peace. Incidentally, you can also teach some outstanding members of your clan, passing on the breathing techniques and body-refining methods you created."

After thinking it over, Sui Zu made arrangements for Jiang Yuan, which, simply put, was to make him a teacher at the Holy Temple.

The breathing techniques and body-refining methods created by Jiang Yuan will definitely be passed down. But it's unrealistic to expect him to teach everyone.

Therefore, they could only select the best to teach, and then, once they had completed their training, they would take over from Jiang Yuan and teach the rest of the clan. This process was repeated from person to person until it was popularized throughout the entire clan.

"Thank you, Ancestor Sui!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan quickly expressed his gratitude.

The Holy Temple is the first holy site of the human race. It not only enshrines the statue of the goddess Nuwa, but also contains the human race's sacred artifact, the Creation Whip.

The aura of creation here is abundant, and the environment for cultivation is so superior that even some top-tier blessed lands cannot compare. No more than a hundred people of the entire human race are capable of cultivating here.

The fact that Emperor Sui allowed Jiang Yuan to reside here for an extended period shows that his treatment was not just generous, but absolutely top-notch; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was being groomed as an heir.

What else could Jiang Yuan say besides thank you?

From then on, he lived in the temple.

……

At this time, in the primordial world, there was no distinction between day and night. Looking up, the sun, moon, and stars were arranged in a circle around the sky, shining brightly together.

Therefore, the concept of time is extremely weak among ordinary people. Their only unit of time is the year, and they have no concept of days or months, let alone hours or quarters.

Not long after Jiang Yuan moved into the Holy Temple, he realized this and then wanted to improve the time system for the prehistoric world in order to gain some merit.

But he soon realized that he had overthought things; perfecting the time system was simply beyond his current capabilities.

Jiang Yuan believed that a perfect time system only required clarifying the concepts of month, day, and hour, dividing the year into twelve months, each month into thirty days, and each day into twelve hours, which would be sufficient.

This is indeed the case, but in the primordial world there was no distinction between day and night, nor did the moon have phases, so the concepts of heaven and moon could not be clearly defined.

Without clarifying this point, how can we distinguish between the heavens and the moon? Without distinguishing between the heavens and the moon, it is naturally impossible to talk about perfecting the time system.

"I realized I had underestimated the problem. To perfect the time system, we must first master the ability to rearrange the sun, moon, and stars."

"It's not as simple as just shouting 'Heaven is above, the world is incomplete, and I've decided to do this and that.'"

Jiang Yuan realized that he had been misled by the prehistoric novels. Acquiring merit was never a simple matter. Did he think that he could acquire merit by shouting a few words and pointing out the shortcomings of the Heavenly Dao? That was nonsense.

Being able to point out the shortcomings of the Way of Heaven is not a skill; the key is whether one can correct those shortcomings.

Asking questions and solving them is the only way to gain merit. Conversely, if you only ask questions but don't solve them, Heaven won't even glance at you.

"As expected, novels can't be trusted. I'd better stick to my cultivation."

Seeing that the shortcut was not working, Jiang Yuan had no choice but to give up and instead picked up the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture to cultivate it seriously.

He hadn't even had a chance to cultivate while inside the Kun fish's belly before being interrupted by the crab general. Now that he was back in the human race, with no safety concerns, he could finally cultivate in peace.

"Food is the first necessity of the people; in the primordial world, I attained enlightenment through eating!"

"Creation Jade Disc, add some points for me!"

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuan consumed the spiritual fruit given to him by the Ancestor of Fire, using it to activate the Jade Disc of Creation, allowing him to once again enter the state of oneness with heaven and man.

Then, he circulated the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture and began to devour the innate divine and demonic bloodlines within his body. The first bloodline he devoured was that of the Azure Dragon.

boom!

As the Creation Scripture circulated, the Azure Dragon bloodline within Jiang Yuan's body rapidly disappeared, transforming into wisps of pure primordial energy.

This is the primordial energy of the Azure Dragon, transformed from the very essence of the Azure Dragon's bloodline. Anyone who refines it can use it to condense the image of the Azure Dragon.

Blood and vital energy transform!

This is the core of the immortal path transmitted by the Daoist patriarch, who believed that everything in the world is composed of primordial energy. Therefore, primordial energy can structure everything, including bloodlines.
