The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 343 The Second Flower of the Three Flowers Battles Three Thousand Mystic Immortals (Second Update)

Five hundred years later, Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain before he finally emerged, while the human race spread their rules and regulations throughout the three thousand square floating lands of the Fire Cloud Cave.

Ultimately, the rules of humanity spread throughout the entire world, and these rules transformed into countless laws governing the world. Under the belief of humanity, these laws gathered in the name of the ancestral gods and became the way of humanity.

At the same time, the chaotic Heavenly Dao gradually merged with the laws governing the operation of Heaven and Earth, no longer defying the laws of Heaven and Earth.

Heaven recognizes the law of unity between Heaven and Earth, and Heaven and Earth operate according to their own laws of gain and loss, aiming to eliminate the excessively growing human race to a certain number, or even destroy it directly.

As for the soon-to-be-born humanity...

They disregarded the laws of Heaven and the natural order, focusing instead on enriching the world and bringing it towards perfection. They would not suppress it.

In the blink of an eye, a "disease" enveloped the entire human race, and numerous natural disasters descended upon the land.

If humanity can survive this calamity, then this calamity will be over; if it cannot, then the race will be wiped out.

At the same time, the seven Golden Immortals who are the "Lords of Heaven" in this world have also been "awakened" by the Heavenly Dao.

The power of the Golden Immortal permeated from top to bottom, from the Great Dao to matter, and all living beings felt an unprecedented pressure.

This pressure came from the body, from the mind, from the spirit, and from the entire world. It was as if everything in the world, including their own flesh and blood and soul, had turned into an invisible hand, tightly gripping them and squeezing them so hard that they could not breathe and that they would be strangled to death on the spot.

The Supreme Avatar, which directly faced the pressure of the seven Golden Immortals, was instantly scattered. If it weren't for the Supreme Pure Heart Sutra and the fact that the Luo Ancestor's main body was outside sharing the pressure, this avatar would have vanished into thin air.

"This...is this the Golden Immortal?" Luo Zu gritted his teeth, almost breaking his mouthful of golden jade steel teeth.

This is not even a Golden Immortal with a lineage like the Lich King, and it is even inferior to the rogue Golden Immortals in the prehistoric world. Moreover, they are incomplete and controlled by the Heavenly Dao. Yet they still have such strength. Just by "standing up" and releasing their own pressure, Luo Zu's thought clone, which was made by refining the Supreme Pure Heart Sutra, was about to collapse on the spot.

If those Golden Immortals from the primordial world were to descend, the world of Fire Cloud Cave would probably be turned upside down.

Even if Luo Zu himself exerted all his strength, he would not be a match for a Golden Immortal.

But how did such an existence come to be? Climbing step by step, even a third-stage Xuanxian would be considered to have leaped over the Dragon Gate in the face of such a realm, transforming from something as insignificant as mud into a cloud in the nine heavens.

No wonder the number of Golden Immortals in the primordial world was finite.

If such power were to run rampant, the entire prehistoric world would be turned upside down.

But above the Golden Immortal is the Taiyi, then the Daluo, and above the Daluo is the Sage.

It's truly stifling for so many great beings to be crammed into this small, desolate place.

As Luo Zu's thoughts began to overflow, he was unaware that a ring of black and red flames suddenly ignited around him.

The flames, like an outer garment, draped over Luo Zu, quietly accompanying him.

But it was also burning Lozu, the price of His companionship.

The burning sensation was painless; it only made Luo Zu feel warm all over, as if he were holding a hot water bottle in winter.

"wrong!"

He eventually realized something was wrong.

Because his physical body was being burned by flames at that moment.

His original physical body was about to take another step forward, "reverting" to the initial version of the primordial world—the body of an innate god or demon.

However, due to the "version update" of the primordial world, this physical body has been rejected by the fickle Heavenly Dao and will be tabooed by the primordial world. If it stays in the primordial world for too long, the primordial world will bring down calamity.

Therefore, this physical body was taken into the Yuan Shen Cave by Luo Zu.

It was precisely because of this background that Luo Zu was able to sense this sudden calamity.

He glanced at the black and red flames on his body and immediately understood why they had appeared.

It wasn't some powerful being who launched a sneak attack from afar, nor was it the "Heavenly Lord" of the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven and Earth who used his methods; it was something he caused himself.

The "Flower of the Primordial Spirit" was about to bloom, which triggered this calamity.

To cultivate from a Xuanxian to a Jinxian, one must go through three steps: first, the three flowers must fully bloom; second, the three flowers must unite; and third, the three flowers must transform into the Dao.

Luo Zu is only taking the first step now.

The second flower of the first step – the Flower of the Primordial Spirit.

The three flowers are the Flower of the Great Way, the Flower of the God, and the Flower of Life and Nature.

From where do the flowers bloom?

From within the divine realm, this divine being is not a deity, but rather the essence of cultivation, the manifestation of one's spiritual practice, which is the primordial spirit.

If it were a cultivation method from the primordial era, it would be the soul.

This time, there is only one "flower" that bloomed from within the primordial spirit.

Unlike the flowers of the Great Road, which bloom on every major road, it doesn't bloom there.

It was only because so many flowers of the Great Dao were blooming that his primordial spirit flower was now experiencing a difficult birth.

This is because the "threshold" is too high and difficult to overcome.

But as difficult as it may be, his fate has arrived, and it's not something he can simply end by not wanting to achieve his goal.

Moreover, the Fire Cloud Cave has reached a critical moment. The Heavenly Dao and the laws of heaven and earth are "cooperating" to exterminate the human race and destroy the soil from which humanity was born. The "Heavenly Lord" rises up, the Supreme Avatar collapses, and the symbol of humanity in this world will also be extinguished.

Everything will come to an end.

Luo Zu was also affected by this, prematurely triggering the tribulation of the blooming of the Primordial Spirit Flower.

The rise and fall of the Dao...

Luo Zu allowed the black and red flames to burn his body and primordial spirit from the outside in and from the inside out, until they were completely burned through.

Splash!

It was as if waves were surging within him.

It was his Great Dao Flower. The Great Dao Flowers blooming above the Great Dao Net were swaying gently at this moment, and streams of strange and mysterious power of various colors were exhaled from the Great Dao Flowers and then poured onto Luo Zu's primordial spirit.

Then a kind of spiritual stirring arose in Luo Zu's mind.

The flowers are blooming.

It is both a flower and a radiant bloom, bursting forth from Luo Zu's primordial spirit, extinguishing the black and red calamity fire, and then gathering all the laws of the Great Dao within ten light-years, thus transforming into a metaphysical form, neither flower nor not flower, like a radiant flower of the primordial spirit.

Upon seeing this, Luo Zu smiled slightly, then his primordial spirit left his body and easily plucked the "flower" that covered ten light-years.

"This is the Flower of the Primordial Spirit."

He subsequently understood many things, and for a short period of time, he was able to grasp everything within ten light-years of this area in a single thought.

Nourished by the flower of the Great Dao, this flower of the primordial spirit has generated extraordinary power.

This is a very different kind of divine soul flower that blooms from the mystical immortals of the primordial world.

At this moment, Luo Zu calculated how much ability he would have now.

Approximately three thousand Xuanxian have reached the third stage of perfection...

None of them are enough to match him.
