Primordial Era: A member of the Jie Sect, apprenticed to Tongtian

The changes in the land had already brought him back into that familiar state.

A sudden realization.

The laws of heaven and earth were laid bare before his eyes, and the myriad mysteries of creation surged into his mind like a tide.

Without any hesitation, Shi Yuan sat cross-legged in the chaotic void, letting the laws unfold before his eyes, and devoted himself to comprehending them.

His magical power began to operate wildly.

Above their heads, the flawless Dao Fruit, symbolizing the Heavenly Immortal status, slowly appeared. Then, five golden auspicious clouds emerged from the Dao Fruit, lifting it up and causing it to rise continuously.

He was completely unaware of all these changes.

In the moment of sudden enlightenment, time has already lost its meaning.

In the blink of an eye, a whole year has passed in the Shiyuan Realm.

Shi Yuan remained seated in the void, his body motionless.

However, the Shiyuan Realm at this moment is completely different from the original one.

What was once a vast and barren little world has now expanded to an unimaginable extent. As far as the eye can see, the world stretches out endlessly, seemingly without end.

Shi Yuan's divine consciousness was almost integrated with the entire Shi Yuan Realm, and at this moment, it gave a clear answer.

"129,600 li..."

"The number of one element is a microcosm of the universe."

In terms of world scale alone, the Shiyuan Realm has officially entered the level of a minor world.

In this vast world, countless primordial energies swirled like dragons in various places, far exceeding the number before.

But just as the Shiyuan Realm completed this transformation, a fluctuation originating from the very source of heaven and earth quietly arrived.

Shi Yuan was jolted awake from his deep reverie.

He raised his head and looked up at the vast and distant sky of the Shiyuan Realm.

The next moment, he saw a scene that completely stunned him.

The primordial energy that permeated the heavens and earth seemed to be drawn by some unseen force, surging towards the sky and continuously gathering and condensing in the high sky.

The primordial Qi has no inherent attributes and contains no laws.

They are simply the most primordial and purest spiritual energy.

But at this moment, these spiritual energies underwent an indescribable change.

They gradually diverged into two completely opposite yet mutually reinforcing new auras, dividing the entire sky in two.

One side was bathed in silvery light, cool and secluded.

On one side, crimson light surged forth, blazing and dazzling.

Shi Yuan's breathing unconsciously slowed down at that moment.

"The energy of Yin..."

"The energy of the sun..."

His gaze was fixed intently on the sky.

In the two separated skies, a phantom was slowly solidifying, gradually taking shape.

That was the earliest existence after the beginning of time.

It is also an ancient legend that has been passed down from ancient times.

...When heaven and earth were first separated, the sun and moon were born.

At that moment, Shi Yuan was almost frozen in place.

The image of yin and yang dividing day and night seemed to be directly etched into his mind; the mystery of the rotation of heaven and earth and the alternation of dawn and dusk, like the sound of the Great Dao, constantly echoed in his sea of ​​consciousness.

In that very instant.

Among the five auspicious clouds above his head, three illusory Dao flowers quietly bloomed.

Three flowers gather at the top, and five energies converge at the origin.

When the changes completely stabilized, Shi Yuan's cultivation level had already reached a new height.

Peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

But he felt no joy whatsoever.

His gaze was fixed quietly on the two newly born stars in the sky.

A blazing fire, intensely burning.

A clear, watery light shines serenely upon heaven and earth.

Those were the first pair of stars belonging to the Shiyuan Realm.

The Sun Star.

The Moon. ...

Looking up at the two stars hanging high in the sky, Shi Yuan was momentarily dazed.

It was a feeling as if I had been jolted awake from a long dream.

The sun and moon gradually took shape before his eyes, emerging from nothingness. Such a scene would be awe-inspiring even for a Golden Immortal. The original outline of heaven and earth became clearly visible at this moment.

However, this shock did not last long.

Soon, Shi Yuan came to his senses, and what followed was a complex and indescribable emotion... both excited and heartbroken.

The excitement goes without saying.

What pained him most were the innate Qi that had been completely transformed.

He was so absorbed in his enlightenment that he hadn't paid any attention to the energy expenditure. But now, calming down and reflecting on it, Shi Yuan felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"That must be based on how many innate spiritual treasures..."

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Even if you want to refine a true innate spiritual treasure, you still need extremely rare acquired spiritual materials as an aid, but the innate Qi itself is already the most precious core.

But now, it's gone just like that.

The more I think about it, the more I feel cheated.

Shi Yuan immediately investigated the situation in the Shi Yuan Realm in detail, but the result made him sigh even more.

After this round of evolution, the remaining primordial energy in the entire Shiyuan Realm, when combined, is less than a hundred strands. Moreover, with the explosive growth in the world's scale, this primordial energy can no longer be used at will.

At most, only about ten strands are actually usable.

Any more than that, and it will directly affect the foundation of the world.

This pained him deeply.

However, this heartache was quickly overshadowed by an even stronger excitement.

There are two reasons.

Firstly, it is his cultivation level.

"Peak Golden Immortal..."

Shi Yuan repeated it softly, even he himself felt it was somewhat unreal.

This rate of advancement is almost outrageous, even by the standards of the entire Three Realms.

The rank of Golden Immortal is sufficient to assume a legitimate celestial official position within the various departments of the Heavenly Court. Even across the myriad realms, it signifies a truly high-ranking existence.

Ordinary celestial beings don't even have the right to look up to them.

Consider Bo Qin, the founding ruler of the State of Lu. After his death, he ascended to the Heavenly Court and was continuously supported by the fortune of the state and the incense offerings of the mortal world. After years of arduous cultivation, he only managed to enter the realm of Golden Immortal.

This shows just how difficult the path to becoming a Golden Immortal truly is.

But what about him?

He only went into seclusion once, yet he reached the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal realm.

This speed is almost like being pushed forward by the road itself.

But what excited him even more than his breakthrough in cultivation was something else entirely.

After witnessing the birth of the Moon Star and the Sun Star, he finally understood the future direction of the Stone Origin Realm.

"The key lies in perfecting the laws of heaven and earth."

Shi Yuan spoke slowly, his tone resolute.

"In terms of scale, the Shiyuan Realm has now reached the level of a minor world."

"But in essence, it is still just an empty shell."

He saw this very clearly.

The Shiyuan Realm, besides being vast, remains barren internally. There is no true land or ocean, no wind, rain, thunder, or any living beings.

Strictly speaking, in the entire world, only the newly emerged Moon and Sun have truly taken shape.

This is exactly what he's going to do next.

To complete the laws, allowing the world to naturally generate corresponding things according to the laws.

For example, this time.

The primordial Qi evolved into Yin and Yang, thus giving birth to the sun and moon, establishing day and night, and bringing the concept of time into existence in the Shiyuan Realm.

This is the true evolution of the world.

in other words......

"I need to constantly collect good fortune and merit and invest it into the Shiyuan Realm."

"The Shiyuan Realm will then transform into new primordial Qi, which will then evolve into all things according to the laws of heaven and earth."

This time, it's the moon and the sun.

Next time, it may be the earth and the sea, or perhaps wind, thunder, clouds, rain, and stars.

"Only when the internal structure of the world is truly complete can the Shiyuan Realm be considered a true minor world."
