Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

"What if we were to fully support you, elder brother, with all the resources and fortune of the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage? When would you be able to achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit?"

"Fuxi! There's no need for that!" Yuan Yan gently shook his head, understanding Fuxi's meaning.

Even if the entire Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage were to support him with all their might, he still wouldn't be able to achieve his goal overnight. It would take at least several hundred eons for his Three Corpse Dao Body to break through to the twelfth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm before he could begin to fuse with the Three Corpse Dao Body and perfect the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Even with a massive amount of merit and fortune, it would still take at least several hundred eons to successfully merge the Three Corpses Dao Body and perfect the Primordial Dao Fruit.

As for not fusing with the Three Corpses Dao Body and relying solely on one's own evolution to perfect the Primordial Dao Fruit? It's not impossible! But it would definitely take much longer.

As usual, it would only take him 1,500 eons to break through to the twelfth level of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm with his Three Corpses Dao Body.

By then, even if the Western Continent had not been completely repaired, it would probably be close. Even if the ley lines of the Northern Continent had not been purified, the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array would probably be set up in the Northern Continent.

If these two major tasks can be accomplished, Heaven will surely bestow immeasurable merit and fortune upon them.

With immeasurable merit and fortune bestowed upon him, he will surely enter a state of enlightenment, and perhaps instantly merge with the Three Corpses Dao Body, perfecting the evolution of the Dao Fruit.

Even if you can't do it on the spot, with the help of a massive amount of merit and good fortune, you should be able to do it again in a few hundred years.

The difference is only a few hundred or a thousand eons, so there is no need to delay the cultivation of Yuanjie, Yuanlun, Yuanling, Fuxi, and Nuwa.

He prefers to attain enlightenment simultaneously with the Primordial Realm, the Primordial Wheel, and the Primordial Spirit rather than by attaining enlightenment alone.

Moreover, even if any unexpected situation arises during this period, requiring someone from their side to attain enlightenment in order to resolve it, he can simply transfer the Primordial Purple Qi to the Yuan Realm, allowing the Yuan Realm to forcibly attain sainthood with a massive amount of merit and Primordial Purple Qi.

This way, unexpected situations can be resolved without affecting his future path.

"Elder brother..." Fuxi wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Yuan Yan interrupted him.

Yuan Yan expressed his thoughts. (Except for having Yuan Jie take the blame to prove his Dao.) Seeing that Yuan Yan's attitude was firm and his words were reasonable, Fuxi did not try to persuade him further, but only suggested:

"Now that the Earthly Court has destroyed the Immortal Court, the demon race has retreated and is about to occupy the Four Seas and the Southern Continent again. Their fortune is magnificent and their power is extremely strong. Eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fourth brother, you are closest to attaining the Dao. Nuwa is equipped with the Primordial Purple Qi, so she should focus on cultivation and quickly perfect the Primordial Dao Fruit to attain sainthood or the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal. You can leave some miscellaneous matters to me."

"During this period, for our peace, we need to possess sufficient strength! We need to enhance the power of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array as much as possible."

"To enhance the power of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array, we should start from the following aspects: First, deduce and improve the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array; second, relax restrictions and recruit a large number of Taiyi Golden Immortals; third, speed up the repair of the Western Continent."

"It is difficult for me to deduce and perfect the Heaven and Earth Return to Origin Formation by myself alone. I need my four elder brothers to study the Myriad Immortals Formation Diagram with me and extract the mysteries of the Myriad Immortals Formation to perfect the Heaven and Earth Return to Origin Formation."

"As for lifting restrictions and recruiting a large number of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators, it would require at least hundreds of millions. As the Western Continent recovers and its vitality gradually returns, it has nurtured a massive number of innate beings. Once they grow up, the Western Continent will not lack Taiyi Golden Immortals. My Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage occupies the Western Continent, and there is also the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce. Even if the Western Continent has not fully recovered, it can still afford to support them."

"Accelerating the repair of the Western Continent and enhancing the power of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array complement each other. In addition to perfecting the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array and relaxing restrictions to recruit hundreds of millions of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators, it also allows the cultivators of the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage to spend more time and energy to activate and operate the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array."

"Brother is right!" Nuwa nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"I have a different opinion!" Yuan Yan and the other three exchanged glances, and Yuan Jie spoke up.

"Second brother?" Nuwa looked puzzled. She felt that her brother Fuxi's suggestion was not wrong.

"Have you forgotten why our elder brother didn't allow the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage to lift restrictions and recruit a large number of Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivators? If we were willing to lift restrictions, our Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage wouldn't have to worry about recruiting people."

Fuxi paused for a moment, then gently shook his head: "How could I forget that!"

He had previously seen Di Jun and Taiyi set up the Hunyuan Heluo Grand Array with hundreds of millions of demons, and Dongwanggong set up the Wanxian Grand Array with a group of immortals. He had also suggested that the restrictions be lifted and hundreds of millions of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals be recruited.

With the addition of countless Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals to the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage, the lineage's fortune will surely increase greatly. With countless Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals activating and operating the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array, the array's power will also surely increase significantly. This will not only accelerate the repair of the Western Continent but also strengthen the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage.

But Yuan Yan rejected it!

Yuan Yan believed that relaxing restrictions and recruiting hundreds of millions of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals would do more harm than good.

Admittedly, recruiting millions of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals has many advantages, but it also has many disadvantages.

Firstly, if one wants to recruit hundreds of millions of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, one must consume a massive amount of resources and treasures.

The treatment of cultivators from Yingzhou Immortal Island is far superior to that of the demon race or the Immortal Court.

If the treatment of cultivators from Yingzhou Immortal Island is not reduced, the cost and burden will be too great. Although we can still afford it, as the cultivation levels of these billions of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals increase, the resources and treasures required will also increase, and then it may not be possible.

Moreover, compared to using this vast amount of resources and treasures to cultivate Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, Yuan Yan would rather use them in conjunction with some high-level resources and treasures, working together as a ruler and minister, to elevate them, refine the Origin Dao Pill, and cultivate Daluo Golden Immortals, Quasi-Saints, and Hunyuan Golden Immortals.

However, if the treatment is reduced, it may cause discontent, conflict and chaos within the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage.

Secondly, if the goal is to recruit hundreds of millions of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals, such a massive number would make it impossible to select the best from the best. It would be impossible to have no burdens, so it would be necessary to relax restrictions on aptitude, temperament, and other aspects, or even have almost no restrictions.

If those Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, and their relatives and clans rely on the power of the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage to act recklessly, committing indiscriminate killing and slaughter, the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage will also bear the karmic consequences.

If the number of people is small, only tens or hundreds of thousands, then the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage can take turns spending decades or hundreds of years every few tens or hundreds of eons to deduce heavenly secrets, investigate the causes and effects of fortune and karma, and find and eliminate some bad apples who have gone too far, so as to warn others.

They then spent some time supervising the Grand Luo Golden Immortals, Quasi-Saints, and Hunyuan Golden Immortals of the Yingzhou Immortal Island lineage.
