Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 416 Primal Power
Lingdu Mountain

Inside the cave, Yang Huai opened his eyes, a thoughtful look in them.

Using the Primordial Mirror, he immediately obtained the perfected Origin Magic Treasure Secret Technique of the Taiqing Daoist.

This technique is called the "Ziwei Three Transformations Nirvana Treasure Register".

This was the name given by the Taoist Taiqing, clearly attributing the credit for the formation of this technique to the Heavenly Emperor Ziwei.

Yang Huai didn't care about these things for the time being. He was more concerned about the "Ziwei Three Transformations Nirvana Treasure Record", which contained detailed records of various secret methods for severing the corpse. It could condense one's own Great Dao into a root magic weapon and directly sever it.

However, what made Yang Huai hesitate was that there were two directions from which the slashes were made.

One method is to simply condense a fundamental magic weapon, cut it off directly, and then choose to pass it on to others to completely sever the karmic ties.

They can also use the characteristics of Hunyuan to step into the Hunyuan Dao Realm.

The second option is another direction.

The severed source magic treasure and innate magic treasure can spontaneously nurture a true self incarnation.

The latter undoubtedly benefits the most.

The latter requires more effort, as it involves cultivating a unique true self.

This process of condensing one's true self also requires special methods to avoid potential problems.

The former is the fastest; once one's cultivation reaches that stage, one can directly sever the root magic weapon and hand it over to other cultivators.

The only loss might be the loss of a fundamental artifact.

Yang Huai hesitated slightly.

After thinking it over, he still chose the former.

the reason is simple.

He did not possess any innate magical treasures that were compatible with him.

The choice of this innate magical treasure has great limitations.

This requires that the innate magical treasure and one's own inherent nature have a certain degree of compatibility.

First and foremost, there must be no conflict between the fundamental principles.

Secondly, the two great principles share the same origin.

For those like Yang Huai, whose boundless Dao is formed from the two foundations of Primordial Beginning and Chaos, it is best to choose an innate magic weapon born from the creation of these two Daos.

Secondly, there is the fundamental source of the Great Dao in a broader sense.

For example, of the nine sources of heaven and earth that he is currently cultivating, he only needs to be compatible with one of them and not conflict with the direction in which the immeasurable sources are being created.

However, this would significantly reduce the chances of success.

The Primordial Qi Divine Talisman in his hand was indeed this type of innate magic treasure.

Yang Huai believed that reaching the Hunyuan Dao Realm sooner would be of greater help to him.

As for cultivating one's true self, perhaps it's possible to wait until after transcendence to attempt that; it won't be too late then.

In the blink of an eye, he began to carefully comprehend the mysteries of the "Ziwei Three Transformations Nirvana Precious Record".

As for what kind of fundamental magic treasure it would condense into, he already knew.

Without a doubt, he chose the Boundless Treasure Wheel.

……

In the Netherworld Palace, within the Earth Emperor's Palace.

At this moment, the eighty-one demonic cocoons continuously absorbed some of the acquired resentment and evil energy accumulated over millions of years in the Nine Netherworld.

Like eighty-one small whirlpools.

On the enormous throne of reincarnation, Empress Houtu calmly watched this scene.

In the distance, a beautiful goddess frowned slightly, and in her hand, drops of azure-yellow spiritual water, which seemed to purify the heavens and the void, fell into a black jade cocoon.

The yellowish spiritual water fell into the depths of the black jade cocoon. As the spiritual water was swallowed by the black jade cocoon, it was like a mud ox entering the sea, and it failed to purify the resentment power deep within the billions of resentful spirits.

Instead, it made the power of resentment and evil even purer.

Upon seeing this, the goddess in yellow in the distance cupped her hands in greeting.

"Your Majesty, even the Yellow Springs Water that I possess may not be able to cleanse this source of resentment!"

A slight sigh appeared on the face of the Goddess of the Underworld.

The malevolent aura contained within this demonic infant was far too powerful.

Her Yellow Springs Water can wash away the seven emotions and six desires deep within the consciousness of countless living beings, but it cannot cleanse the resentment and evil energy within the demon infant's body.

The essence of this malevolent aura is too powerful!
The Celestial Venerable of the Holy Stone was slightly surprised to see this.

The Yellow Springs Water controlled by the Goddess of the Underworld is no ordinary divine water of heaven and earth. It is formed after the birth of the Nine Netherworld Palace, when countless turbid energies of the earth sank down and combined with the water spirits of heaven and earth. It is highly poisonous to living beings with physical bodies, but a treasure to spiritual beings, as it can cleanse their spirituality and nourish their souls.

Because the water of the Yellow Springs itself contains some of the mysteries of the earth's origin.

After a moment's thought, the Holy Stone Celestial Venerable said.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that there is a merit-making magic treasure deep in the Nine Netherworld called the Boundless Treasure Wheel, which can rotate all kinds of divine power in the world. Why don't we try it out?"

Houtu Huangdiqi shook his head upon hearing this.

"This item is indeed wondrous, but it belongs to the Human Emperor, so it is not convenient to take it for use!"

After thinking for a moment, she said.

"The true water of the Yellow Springs is still not high enough. Go and invite my elder brother Zhu Rong back. With his power of the Heaven-Opening Fire Spirit, he is enough to refine such a vicious force!"

She sighed slightly.

One thing brings down another thing.

This acquired power is too stubborn; it has already merged with the demonic infant's soul. It is very difficult to completely refine the resentment and evil energy contained within it without harming the demonic infant's spirituality.

If she were to follow her plan, it would likely require damaging part of the demon infant's foundation in order to ensure the extraction of the resentful aura while leaving behind the malevolent aura.

On the Sun Star, Zhu Rong suddenly opened his eyes, a faint look of doubt in them.

Yan Ju across from them also opened his eyes.

He glanced at Yan Ju and then said.

"The Earthly Emperor's Palace is looking for me; it must be something important!"

Yan Ju sighed.

"It seems I can only try to comprehend the infinite Dao alone for a period of time!"

Zhu Rong nodded.

The two have gradually formed their own Infinite Dao Embryos. However, it will take some time to elevate the Infinite Dao Embryos into the Boundless Origin.

Zhu Rong rose, his figure transforming into a streak of light as he quietly departed from the Sun Star. In the Earthly Emperor's Palace, Yang Huai descended as a wisp of fire, and immediately saw the Holy Stone Celestial Venerable, who had been waiting in the Hall of Light.

Upon seeing Yang Huai return, the Holy Stone Celestial Venerable's gaze changed slightly.

He discovered that after tens of thousands of years, the divine power manifested by this Zhu Rong was several times stronger than before, and it was faintly close to the Great Perfection of the True One God Realm.

This greatly surprised him.

Tens of thousands of years is nothing to many gods.

But the other party actually restored his cultivation to such a state.

"As expected of a primordial fire spirit, one of the Four Divine Beasts of Creation! Its origins are indeed noble!"

He thought to himself, then smiled and said aloud.

"Your Highness Zhurong, Her Majesty Houtu has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"But has something happened in the Earthly Emperor's Palace?"

Yang Huai asked casually.

The Celestial Venerable of the Holy Stone smiled slightly.

"This matter truly cannot be left to His Highness Zhurong!"

After saying that, he led Yang Huai toward the Netherworld.

The two tore through the void, passed through the magnificent portal of the realm, and when they reappeared, they were in front of a palace shrouded in an endless storm of reincarnation.

Above the hall is the inscription "Hall of the Six Paths of Reincarnation".

Countless powerful ghost soldiers and spirits stood guard around the area.

Dark, deep, and mysterious.

Two streaks of light descended, but the surrounding Yin soldiers and generals seemed oblivious, their faces cold and stern.

Saint Stone Celestial Venerable was already used to this scene and led Yang Huai into the hall on his own.

"This is……"

With just one glance, Yang Huai's eyes couldn't help but fall on the infant figure among the eighty-one earth-yellow lotus flowers.

These babies were all sleeping peacefully, their bodies emanating a strong aura of malevolence. Each of them seemed to contain a powerful innate malevolent energy born from primordial ancestral energy, making them appear as if they were born evil gods.

However, the most terrifying thing was the baby in the center, surrounded by a magnificent and vast aura of ferocity and resentment.

There is a difference between resentful aura and malevolent aura.

Both are extremely powerful acquired evil energies.

The malevolent aura is more lethal and purer.

The aura of resentment and malevolence is more complex and has a greater impact on the soul.

Nowadays, many people practice the Blood Fiend Body Refining Secret Technique on the desolate land.

However, the Blood Demon God's cultivation method mostly involves absorbing the malevolent energy of heaven and earth, rather than the malevolent energy of resentment. If one directly absorbs the malevolent energy of resentment, it is very easy to have one's soul corrupted and become a fallen demon god controlled by the malevolent energy of resentment.

As Yang Huai stepped in, he had already guessed the reason why the Earth Goddess Houtu had summoned him back.

There are very few powers in this world that can purify the malevolent energy within the demon infant.

His primordial fire is definitely one of them.

Of course, the water spirit that opened up the heavens and earth in Gonggong's body in the past is also one of them.

Houtu Huangdizhi spoke.

“Brother Zhurong, this child is one of the descendants of my twelve tribes. However, when he was born, he was possessed by two major sources of resentment and malevolence. Are you confident that you can completely refine or remove the source of resentment from this child?”

Yang Huai pondered for a moment.

He already had a vague idea in his heart who this demonic infant was.

However, faced with the demeanor of the Earth Goddess Houtu, he knew he probably couldn't refuse.

The opponent probably also sees this piece as a key piece in the gods' struggle for dominance over the land, and cannot afford to lose it.

He stepped forward and, amidst several pairs of gazes, arrived before the demonic infant.

Protecting the demonic infant's frail body while preserving its soul from damage, and then refining the source of resentment and evil energy, is indeed quite difficult.

He had no intention of using his most precious treasure, the Southern Flame Banner, even though it was incredibly mysterious and could protect the demon infant's soul and body.

He addressed the Earth Goddess Houtu.

"Please, Your Majesty, use your magic to protect the demonic infant's soul and body!"

Empress Houtu remained unmoved, but with a wave of her hand, a beam of yellow light burst forth and entered the depths of the demon infant's brow.

Seeing this, Yang Huai slightly raised his fingertip, and a wisp of leaping crimson flame burst forth from his fingertip, instantly falling into the depths of the demon infant's brow and entering the depths of its sea of ​​consciousness.

The raging primordial fire transformed into a net of flames that instantly imprisoned the demonic infant's sea of ​​consciousness. Boundless light and pure Yang divine power were born from it, purifying the vast and pure resentful energy within its body.

Yang Huai did not use the true power of the Primordial Flame.

Because the nemesis of the power of resentment is the power of light and pure yang.

The essence of resentment and malevolence is a powerful acquired malevolent energy that leans towards the yin attribute.

Under the immense power of the primordial radiance and the primordial pure yang, it gradually dissipated, until finally only a trace of black light remained, turning into a faint mark deep within the infant's brow.

A sacred and dazzling power flowed through the demon infant's skin, and strands of radiant light shone through, enough to penetrate yin and yang and scare away all evil spirits in the universe!

Seeing this, Yang Huai raised his hand and a wisp of primordial fire transformed into a mark that fell into the demon infant's body.

Only then did he reclaim the other primordial flame powers.

Houtu Huangdizhi also witnessed this scene, and frowned slightly.

Yang Huai laughed upon seeing this.

"Your Majesty, this demonic infant has been combined with the two great sources of resentment and malevolence for too long. The remaining wisp of resentment may not be able to be completely eliminated. However, I have left behind a wisp of primordial true fire power. As long as he diligently cultivates the power of true fire in the future, he will be able to restrain the power of the resentment source, completely refine it, and transform it into his own source, thus eradicating future troubles!"

Houtu Huangdizhi glanced at him.

Zhu Rong's words were not wrong, but in doing so, Zhu Rong would also gain a subordinate deity to help him spread the Way of Fire.

He can also take this opportunity to transform his innate fire into acquired fire and gain a portion of his fortune!

If this infant were to become the Human Emperor in the future, he might even receive sacrifices from all the spirits.

The heel can restore one to a state close to that of the Supreme Spirit.

The two subordinate gods beside them ignored these things and instead focused their gazes on the demonic infant, their eyes showing some surprise.

The fire god power of Zhu Rong is indeed terrifying and frightening.

Even the power of that vengeful spirit was so severely suppressed.
