Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 107 The Embryo of the Heavenly Dao
Those streaks of purplish-black divine lightning, imbued with both punishment and creation, continuously cleaved through the chaos, reshaping the universe.

It brought about earth-shattering changes to this newly born world.

Ma Yuan sat cross-legged atop the majestic sacred mountain, his eyes tightly closed.

He was not captivated by the magnificent spectacle brought about by the thunder that day.

Instead, he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and silently integrated his vast divine sense into the continuous stream of primordial divine lightning!
He wanted to use the power of the heavenly thunder to establish the most fundamental "law" for this world that was still in a state of ignorance and chaos!
"Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs."

His divine thoughts transformed into the most ancient and primordial Daoist pronouncements, which slowly echoed within the primordial space of that world.

"However, heaven and earth also have their order, and all things also have their rules."

"Today, I will establish the foundation of this world and set forth its heavenly rules!"

The first divine lightning bolt, imbued with Ma Yuan's will, crashed down!

"All living beings in this world are subject to the law of nature, where the strong prey on the weak and survival of the fittest prevails. This is the natural order and the cycle of the Great Dao, which cannot be interfered with."

This divine thought, through the primordial divine lightning, was deeply imprinted on the ignorant origin of the world.

From then on, this world had its most basic laws.

The struggles, killings, and plundering among living beings are all regarded as normal phenomena that promote the evolution of the world, and will no longer attract the unwarranted interference of heavenly lightning.

The second divine lightning bolt followed immediately!

"However, in the struggle between living beings, one cannot destroy the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers without cause, for these are the foundation of the world. To destroy them is to defy the heavens and shall be punished by the heavens!"

Once this law is established, it draws an insurmountable red line for the behavior of all living beings in this world.

If any living beings engage in magical battles in the future, affecting the earth's veins and shaking the foundations of the world, they will surely be punished by heavenly lightning.

The third, fourth, fifth...

One after another, divine lightning bolts imbued with Ma Yuan's will continued to fall.

He inscribed all those most fundamental rules into the deepest part of the world's origin.

"Those who have made great contributions to the evolution of the world, such as opening up spiritual veins and nourishing all things, should be rewarded with spiritual energy to aid their cultivation."

"Anyone who is greater than the world, such as defiling the spiritual energy and severing the life force, shall be punished by divine thunder. At best, their cultivation will be diminished; at worst, their body and soul will be destroyed!"

"..."

These rules are neither complicated nor biased.

They spread throughout the entire Purple Necklace Heaven world through the primordial divine thunder.

From then on, Ziyingtian was no longer a naive world with only instincts and the ability to absorb and exhale chaotic energy.

It developed its own vague concept of "good and evil" and "reward and punishment mechanism".

This is the prototype of "the Way of Heaven"!

It can also be called the Heart of Heaven!
It was vague and incomprehensible.

They only followed the most basic rules established by Ma Yuan.

It lacks the complex emotions of living beings, as well as the good, evil, selfish desires of immortals, gods, Buddhas, and demons.

Its sole purpose is to maintain the operation and balance of this world, guiding all living things to evolve and develop within this established framework.

And at the very moment this "Heavenly Heart" was born! "Boom—!!!!"

The entire Purple Jade Heaven seemed to emit a joyful roar originating from its very source at this moment!

A terrifying power of advancement, which had been accumulating for a long time, suddenly erupted from the core depths of that world!
The already incredibly resilient membrane of the world began to expand outwards at this moment!
Ten times! One hundred times! One thousand times!
In just a few breaths, the entire world expanded by more than ten thousand times compared to before!
In the past, the world of Ziying only had a central part with divine mountains, lakes and seas derived from the Ziying Immortal Mountain. Although its scope was vast, it was still limited.

For a Taiyi Golden Immortal like Ma Yuan, it would only take a few days to reach the edge of the world from Ziying Immortal Mountain.

But if you cross that edge of the world, beyond that lies only chaos.

It lacked spiritual inspiration, laws, and the evolution of earth, water, wind, and fire, and was no different from the other twenty-three minor chaotic worlds.

At this moment, the space of the Purple Jewel Minor World has already evolved and expanded continuously, becoming vast and boundless.

Even with Ma Yuan's current cultivation level, traversing this world again would no longer be an easy task.

Within the world, the laws that were originally somewhat vague and illusory became incredibly clear and solid at this moment!
The fundamental laws of the Five Elements, wind and thunder, and space no longer require Ma Yuan's guidance.

Instead, under the operation of that "Heavenly Heart," it began to evolve and improve spontaneously!

It has become increasingly clear, powerful, and stable!
Beneath the earth, the long-existing spiritual veins began to grow and spread wildly!

Countless new spiritual veins have emerged from the mountains and rivers cleaved open by divine lightning!

The concentration of spiritual energy in the entire world has increased many times over compared to before!
Even around the Purple Jade Immortal Mountain, which is the core of the world.

The extremely concentrated innate spiritual energy was beginning to show signs of liquefaction and solidification!

It transformed into pools of flowing spiritual springs, and even deep within the earth's veins, it condensed into veins of spiritual stones that shimmered with brilliant light!

At this moment, Zi Yingtian finally shed the shackles of the Lesser Thousand Worlds completely.

It naturally progressed into a true Middle Thousand World!

And as the creator of all this, the supreme ruler of this world.

At this moment, Ma Yuan also received a tremendous response from the entire world!
A power of the world's origin, far superior to any innate spiritual root or elixir, surged forth from the newly awakened Heavenly Heart!

Ma Yuan sat cross-legged atop the immortal mountain.

He allowed the power of the world's origin to madly wash over his body and spirit!
"Om-!"

Countless previously obscure and difficult-to-understand insights into the supreme Daoist principles governing the operation of the world's origin, such as "creation," "destruction," "order," and "balance," flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness like a tidal wave!

Ma Yuan's primordial spirit was completely immersed in a warm ocean composed of the purest laws of the Great Dao.

Countless profound truths belonging to the origin of the world do not require him to deliberately comprehend them.

It transformed into the most intuitive Dao runes, actively surging into his sea of ​​consciousness and deeply imprinting itself into the depths of his true spirit!

At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into the very essence of this world.

From a supreme perspective, one can look down upon this world that one has created with one's own hands, and understand the evolution of all things and the changes in the laws within it!
His cultivation, his realm, and his understanding of the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

All of this is happening subtly and rapidly, at an unbelievable speed, skyrocketing!

Ma Yuan was completely immersed in this vast ocean composed of the fundamental principles of the world, such as "creation," "destruction," and "order," forgetting himself and the world around him.
