The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 223 The Great Dao Net, the Cave Heaven Destroyed, and the Final Ascension to the Mysterious Immortal

From an individual perspective, breaking through to the Xuanxian realm is no small feat, but from the perspective of the entire prehistoric world, the birth of a Xuanxian is not as significant as a Golden Immortal letting out a loud fart.

Because this is a fart from a Golden Immortal; even Golden Immortals fart.

This earth-shattering news is enough to shock the whole world.

Therefore, when Luo Zu broke through to the Xuanxian realm, he caused a change in the celestial phenomena. The cave heaven was shaken by this, and with his insistence on the Dao, the cave heaven's Dao was on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the Wu clan elders who were stationed here stabilizing the cave heaven, this cave heaven might have been destroyed as a result, and all the celestial immortals and true immortals inside would probably have been buried with him.

Besides disrupting the Great Dao, Luo Zu also channeled the power of the stars and the sun and moon into this place in great quantities, which was quite unrestrained.

He's trying to leverage the influence of the Wu clan to gain some benefits and fleece them.

Fortunately, he succeeded.

The rolling in of colorful starlight blinded the many onlookers, and some even tried to steal a scoop of starlight in the chaos. Unfortunately, Luo Zu was a thief himself, so how could he let others take advantage of him?

So, with a few casual gestures, Luo Zu thwarted the covetous hands that had reached out to him. He then took all the brilliance of the sun, moon, and stars into his possession and quickly refined it, giving the owners of the sun, moon, and stars no chance to back out.

However, these rays of the sun, moon, and stars are merely a small addition to Luo Zu's breakthrough to the Xuanxian realm. The key to breaking through to the Xuanxian realm lies in the Dao Seed evolving into the Dao Tree, taking root in the Great Dao, and thus upholding the Dao.

The spiritual energy required for this is naturally countless, so cultivators need to cultivate step by step and accumulate it step by step. Otherwise, when they are about to break through, their primordial spirit will be empty, and they will not have enough time to gather and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from all directions.

The Xuanxian realm cultivated by Luo Zu is far more unreasonable than that of ordinary Xuanxian, and naturally requires far more spiritual energy. So much so that Luo Zu wanted to eat a star raw to replenish his energy, but unfortunately he couldn't. Those stars were treasures of the Heavenly Court. If Luo Zu ate one, the demon race would probably burn him as a star. Even that might not be enough to vent his anger. He would have to refine his soul and endure many cruel tortures to vent his anger.

As for those stars that are currently unclaimed, they cannot be touched. Many demon immortals are eyeing them, waiting for the day they become golden immortals so they can entrust their divine souls to them.

Although Luo Zu cannot devour stars, he has accumulated a great deal of the essence of the sun and moon over the years, enough for three hundred years, and the rate of increase is constantly increasing. As long as the number of living beings in the world within the pot increases, Luo Zu can use their name to fleece the sun, moon, and stars.

According to Luo Zu's previous setting, one strand of sun and moon essence is equivalent to 300,000 strands of sun and moon essence. One strand of sun and moon essence is enough for a primordial spirit to cultivate for a day. The sun and moon essence stored in his pot already amounted to 30 billion strands. Originally, there could have been more, but he had used some of it when he was accumulating it. After all, there are always breakthroughs in cultivation, and magic treasures also need to be refined. All of these require the use of sun and moon essence. Otherwise, even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice. How can one refine magic, treasures, and pills without energy?

Breaking through a realm now requires not only comprehending the Great Dao, but also accumulating energy to elevate one's realm; otherwise, one has only ideas but no real realm.

Luo Zu exhaled gently, taking in all the essence of the three hundred years within the world of the pot into his primordial spirit. Then, he activated the Great Celestial Immortal Technique, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, and the Supreme Profound True Ascension Scripture. With the three great techniques operating simultaneously, he refined all three hundred billion essences of the sun and moon in three breaths.

In this way, a continuous stream of immortal energy falls into the evolving net of the Great Dao.

This is a mysterious Dao net that was spat out from Luo Zu's primordial spirit. It enveloped the cave where he was currently presiding, instantly assimilated the magic array set up outside the cave, then abolished the magic array, and gradually spread to the entire cave heaven.

The elder of the witch clan, who was sitting in the cave, was completely unaware of this. He was looking up at the sky, watching the spectacular sight of the sun, moon and stars shining down densely.

As the brilliance of the sun, moon, and stars faded, the net that spread from Luo Zu's primordial spirit abolished the entire Great Dao of the cave heaven.

At this point, the Great Dao of this grotto-heaven ceased to tremble, and without anyone noticing, it transformed into the grotto-heaven of Luo Zu.

However, even at this point, Luo Zu's breakthrough was not yet over, because although the Great Dao Net had been extended, it still had to be brought back. Only in this way could Luo Zu truly connect with the primordial world.

Many immortals in the primordial world entrusted their souls to the Dao Tree. The Dao Tree took root and planted the Great Dao. Then, the branches and leaves of the Dao Tree connected with all the Daos. In this way, the roots of the Dao Tree suppressed the Great Dao, so that it would not be squeezed out by the ever-evolving Great Dao.

Luo Zu, on the other hand, has 365 Dao Seeds that act as nodes in his Great Dao Net. These nodes connect various Great Dao relationships, allowing the 365 Dao Seeds to complement each other. There is no need for other Great Daos to assist in suppressing the Dao Seed Great Daos.

When a Mysterious Immortal cultivates the Great Dao Treasure Tree, they will be constantly immersed in the state of merging with the Dao, unlike a True Immortal who needs to devote themselves to it in order to merge with the Dao.

After the Great Dao Tree connects with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, it will return to the cultivator's soul, thus truly completing the breakthrough to the Profound Immortal Dao Realm.

Luo Zu was no exception to this custom.

This step is also the most dangerous. As the saying goes, it is easy to get in but hard to get out. Especially after the many Great Daos of the Great Dao Net intersect with the Great Daos of the Primordial World, there are signs of assimilation. Taking them back is like an ordinary person trying to pull themselves out of a quagmire. But this small step is not the most dangerous. The truly dangerous step is after returning to the primordial spirit. The Great Dao Net will bring the truth of the Great Daos of the Primordial World.

Many celestial beings fell at this hurdle, directly washed away by the true nature of the Great Dao of the primordial world and became part of the Great Dao itself.

Luo Zu naturally faced this calamity as well.

Luo Zu easily completed the first small step of extracting the Great Dao Net from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and then quickly faced the erosion of the truth of the Primordial Great Dao.

A nameless, colorless, and odorless flame ignited from Luo Zu's primordial spirit, and then instantly spread to all his Dao techniques and cultivation, eventually reaching his innate divine and demonic immortal body.

"It's here." Luo Zu whispered. Although he could not open his eyes or explore his primordial spirit with his divine sense, he could still feel the excruciating, burning pain.

But he did not cry out in pain, nor did he utter a single groan.

He just sat there quietly, his body gradually becoming transparent and ethereal, and was... disappearing.

This is the Great Way assimilating him.

Luo Zu was fearless, his face seemingly radiating liberation, as he quietly allowed the colorless and odorless flames to burn him to ashes.

Slowly, slowly...

A moment passed, three days passed, a month passed...

puff!

Suddenly, a sound like a bubble bursting came from the cave, echoing throughout every corner of the cave.

It was a grotto-heaven, which was blown away by a gust of wind like a soap bubble.
