Dual Transmigration: Cultivating Immortality in the Primordial World, Taking on the Desolate Heavenl

At dawn.

Stone Village was shrouded in an extremely thin layer of morning mist.

After growing overnight, a tender green leaf the size of a fingernail has sprouted from the remaining branches of the Starfruit tree.

The leaves are entirely emerald green, subtly reflecting the hazy light and shadow of the stars in the vast world.

The mere presence of this one leaf has nearly doubled the concentration of spiritual energy within a ten-mile radius of Stone Village compared to yesterday.

The children of Stone Village who had been strengthened by the beast blood bath were even unconsciously absorbing spiritual energy to temper their bodies while they slept, making their blood and energy increasingly abundant.

And in the most secluded part of Shicun.

Gu Changqing sat cross-legged alone on a blue stone.

He closed his eyes, his back was straight as a pine tree, and his breathing was long and deep.

The Tai Chi Golden Elixir Dao was slowly circulating within his body.

Within his dantian, the nascent golden core, which had initially condensed in the primordial Kunlun Mountains and then become completely stable after absorbing the Xuanhuang Mother Qi in the Perfect World, was slowly rotating.

But today.

What's different now?

Gu Changqing first noticed something was wrong with the soles of his feet.

The earth's veins deep within the Great Wilderness are shifting in an extremely subtle way.

The earth's spiritual energy, which had originally been scattered and independent, seemed to have received some silent command and began to converge towards Stone Village.

It's not just about the earth's veins.

Above the sky, the sparse spiritual energy unique to the Great Wilderness was also undergoing strange movements.

The spiritual energy within a radius of millions of miles was as if grasped by an invisible giant hand, slowly twisted into an extremely thick vortex.

The center of the vortex landed precisely on Gu Changqing's head.

Ordinary people cannot see this scene.

The villagers of Shicun felt that the air was exceptionally fresh this morning, and breathing it made them feel comfortable all over.

However, if a powerful being at the Venerable Realm or above is present.

He would be horrified to discover that at the highest point of the sky in the entire Lower Realm's Eight Domains, an invisible golden vortex was slowly taking shape.

That vortex was not a convergence of spiritual energy.

Rather, it is the deepest and most fundamental thing in this world—the origin of the world!

The Dao of the Perfect World is incomplete and unconscious.

It lacks the supreme wisdom and scheming of the Primordial Heavenly Dao after "Hongjun merges with the Dao".

It only possesses the most primitive, conditioned reflex-like instincts.

When something drastically alters the established trajectory of this world—

For example, saving a chosen one of the planes who was supposed to die.

For example, planting a section of a high-dimensional spiritual root that does not belong to this world.

For example, an ancient sacrificial spirit that should have died slowly in silence was resurrected.

The incomplete Heavenly Dao instinct of the perfect world will infuse a massive amount of the world's fortune and origin as a "reward" into the variable that changes fate!

This is a very basic positive feedback mechanism.

Like a well-fed animal, it instinctively wags its tail and begs for mercy, offering up its most precious possessions with both hands.

And Gu Changqing.

That's the shepherd.

"They're here."

Gu Changqing's tightly closed eyes twitched slightly.

A barely perceptible, extremely faint smile curved the corners of his lips.

That's the satisfaction a hunter feels when his prey comes to him willingly.

He didn't make any unnecessary movements.

Even the frequency of his energy cultivation didn't increase.

It simply means fully opening up the absorption method of the "Tai Chi Golden Elixir Dao" within the body.

It was like opening a bottomless pit.

"Buzz—"

A muffled tremor, almost imperceptible to the ear, came from the highest point of the sky.

The golden vortex suddenly accelerated its rotation!

A golden waterfall, invisible to the naked eye but so thick as to be almost liquid at the level of laws, cascaded down from the highest point of the Eight Domains Sky!

It poured straight into Gu Changqing's crown chakra.

That is the very origin of the perfect world!

It is the pure substance that constitutes the most fundamental rules of this universe!

Even a tiny bit of it would be enough to make a Blood Refining Realm cultivator break through to the Inscription Realm on the spot!

Now, the amount injected into Gu Changqing's body is a thousand times greater than a single strand!

Within Gu Changqing's dantian.

The nascent golden core, originally only the size of a longan and still somewhat rough, began to expand and solidify at an incredible speed under the violent infusion of the world's origin.

The primordial Yin and Yang energies form the warp and weft.

The primordial chaos of the Perfect World is flesh and blood.

Two completely different dimensions of power merged perfectly together in Gu Changqing's dantian, which was protected by the Taiqing Jade Talisman!

There was no rejection.

There is no conflict.

Like yin and yang embracing each other, heaven and earth are one.

"Click!"

A crisp, solid sound came from deep within Gu Changqing's abdomen.

A perfect golden elixir, radiating the light of a yin-yang symbol and enveloped in a ring of pale golden chaotic mist, was formed with a bang!

Limitless Golden Elixir!

The Primordial Celestial Realm has been achieved!

At the very moment the golden core was formed.

The void within a three-zhang radius around Gu Changqing seemed unable to withstand such a high-dimensional mass that far exceeded the limits of the laws of the lower realm.

"Sizzle—"

A piercing sound, like glass about to shatter, emanated continuously from the air around him.

Visible ripples of distortion appeared in the void.

The ripples spread outward from Gu Changqing as the center, and wherever they passed, the grass and leaves did not move, and the sound of the wind disappeared.

Only an invisible sense of oppression, suffocating deep within one's soul, was spreading throughout the entire lower realm at an alarming speed.

It is thousands of miles away.

Ancient kingdom ancestors who live in seclusion throughout the Great Wilderness, seal guardians of the Primordial Divine Mountain, and powerful beings whose cultivation has reached the Venerable Realm or above.

Everyone.

At the same instant.

I felt a sudden, unexpected emptiness in my chest.

That feeling of emptiness was extremely strange.

It's not a depletion caused by the loss of spiritual energy.

Rather, it is a deeper, mysterious connection with the universe that has been severed.

It was as if a large portion of their lifespan and blessings had been silently plundered by some being standing at a higher level.

"What's going on?!"

"Why has my cultivation level suddenly regressed by half a level?!"

"The Way of Heaven... the Way of Heaven is slipping away?!"

Countless reclusive old monsters broke out of their seclusion at the same time, looking up at the sky in horror.

But they couldn't see anything.

The golden vortex vanished without a trace after the infusion was completed.

All that was left for them was an inexplicable, immense panic, a feeling that fate had stolen something from them.

Behind Shicun.

Gu Changqing slowly opened his eyes.

In the depths of his eyes, a miniature image of a Tai Chi golden elixir flashed by.

His entire demeanor underwent a fundamental transformation.

Even with the Taiqing Jade Talisman by his side, he was still just a mortal who needed to rely on external objects.

But from this moment on...

He is a true celestial being from the primordial era.

They possessed their own Dao foundation, their own magical power, and their own combat strength.

Inside the lightning-struck wood.

The newly sprouted, crystal-clear willow branches of the Willow Goddess froze in mid-air the moment Gu Changqing's golden core was formed.

She clearly sensed the loss of the essence of the Perfect World.

As a former guardian spirit who protected the heavens and the earth, she possessed an extraordinary sensitivity to changes in the very essence of heaven and earth.

Such a massive loss of origin should, in theory, be accompanied by a violent backlash from heaven and earth and a cataclysmic natural disaster.

but no.

There was nothing there.

The lost essence did not utter any lament or resistance; instead, it exuded an extremely eerie docility.

Like a domesticated animal that has been raised for millions of years, it willingly offers up its fattest neck meat when its owner reaches out.

A complex emotion welled up deep within Liu Shen's soul.

It's not fear.

Rather, it is a morbid sense of relief that comes from having experienced too many shocks and finally giving up independent thinking.

"Even this fragmented Heavenly Dao... is it like domesticated livestock, willingly offering its blood to him?"

The willow god's divine thoughts echoed silently in the void.

She recalled how, in order to protect the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, she had risked her life to fight alone in a foreign land, battling the Immortal King to the death, until her very essence was shattered, her rebirth failed, and she almost perished.

She spent an entire era merely clinging to life.

The man simply sat on the rock and closed his eyes for a while.

This world willingly offered up its most essential origin with both hands.

How ridiculous.

How tragic.

The newly grown willow branches drooped slowly, no longer reaching out.

That was the last trace of pride belonging to the Immortal Ancient Era deep within Liu Shen's soul, which shattered completely at this moment.

Instead, there was an almost fanatical awareness.

"The Great Way is boundless... Only by standing behind it can one witness the true supreme."
