Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 117 The True Transmission of the Four Veins
Inside the Yuandao Palace, the imperial edict of the Great Dao had ceased.

However, the profound Daoist aura that pointed directly to the origin lingered in the solemn palace for a long time.

The thirty-three disciples below the stage remained immersed in that state of enlightenment where they were oblivious to the world around them.

Each of them was digesting the Golden Immortal Path bestowed by Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuangao sat calmly on the cloud bed.

His gaze slowly swept over the faces that were filled with confusion, joy, or frustration.

Ultimately, the task fell to the four direct disciples: Kong Lingzi, Yuanshan, Baiyu, and Yunshu.

“The four of you have extraordinary backgrounds and different paths, and ordinary methods are no longer sufficient to guide you.”

His voice rang out again.

"Today, I will open a path for each of you, and I hope you will study it carefully. Other disciples may also listen in, and how much you can gain depends on your own destiny."

Upon hearing this, the inner and outer disciples, who were still immersed in their own insights, were all jolted, and their faces involuntarily revealed an uncontrollable joy.

They knew that this was another divine opportunity bestowed upon them by their teacher after he spread the Great Way!
The four disciples, with solemn expressions, quickly composed themselves, listened attentively, and dared not miss a single detail.

Ma Yuan's gaze first fell on his eldest disciple, Kong Lingzi, whose temperament was ethereal and graceful.

"Kong Lingzi, come forward."

"The disciple is here."

Ma Yuan nodded slightly and flicked his finger.

A profound rune containing endless truths silently entered his mind's sea between his eyebrows.

"You are a manifestation of ethereal energy, your nature is close to emptiness, and your form is without shape. Today, your master will impart to you the 'Formless Sutra'."

"This scripture elucidates the two paths of space and nothingness. Space is the exterior, nothingness is the interior." Ma Yuan's voice became distant and profound.

"Those who control space can roam freely in the Three Realms and Six Paths, attaining great freedom."

Only those who have realized emptiness can remain untainted by the myriad causes and effects, unaffected by any dharma, and attain true purity and freedom.

As Ma Yuan narrated, Kong Lingzi felt as if he were in an endless void.

Countless layers of space appeared and disappeared before his eyes, expounding the most fundamental truths, which captivated him.

Ma Yuan ignored his eldest disciple, who had already entered a state of enlightenment.

He then turned his gaze to the imposing ape-like figure.

"Ape Mountain."

"The disciple is here!"

"You are an ancient and extraordinary species with a powerful physical body, similar to the Wu tribe, yet you also possess a primordial spirit, which is your greatest advantage."

Ma Yuan's voice became more solemn as he combined what he had learned from the Great Witch Clan of the Southern Wilderness with his own Five Elements Daoist techniques.

He recited the supreme body-refining methods that he had already mentally rehearsed countless times.

"Today, I will impart to you a Celestial Witch Body Tempering Technique!"

"The sorcerer represents the ultimate in power, unparalleled in dominance; the immortal represents the subtlety of qi, endless and continuous."

This technique teaches you to use your immortal primordial spirit to control the domineering body of the witch clan, using your blood and qi as fuel and your primordial spirit as fire, undergoing nine internal and external transformations to forge an indestructible body!

As soon as he finished speaking, a towering Dharma image, ten thousand feet tall, appeared out of thin air in Ape Mountain's sea of ​​consciousness!
Half of the Dharma image's body was filled with the energy and blood of a dragon, exuding a primal power akin to the creation of the world.

The other half of his body was shrouded in ethereal energy, and the light of his primordial spirit shone as brightly as the sun, expounding the supreme truth of the immortality of the primordial spirit.

The two completely different yet perfectly integrated Daoist styles instantly and thoroughly shocked Yuanshan's Daoist heart that revered power!
Next was the third disciple, Bai Yu, whose temperament was the most peculiar.

"White jade."

"The disciple is here."

Ma Yuan looked at him, a hint of approval flashing in his deep eyes.

"Your origins are naturally situated between life and death, with yin and yang in perfect harmony, which is extremely rare."

"Today, I will pass on the Yin-Yang Creation Diagram to you." After saying this, he did not pass on any specific techniques.

He simply joined his fingers like a brush and lightly touched the void.

A giant Tai Chi diagram, woven from the purest Yin and Yang energies, slowly appeared before Bai Yu.

There were no mysterious runes or profound scriptures in the picture.

Only an ordinary spiritual root, amidst the rotation of black and white energies, continuously experiences the complete cycle of sprouting, growing, flowering, bearing fruit, withering, turning into dust, and then giving birth to new sprouts from the dust.

It goes on and on, endlessly.

"Life is death, and death is life. Only when Yin and Yang are in harmony can the Great Dao be complete." Ma Yuan's voice rang out leisurely.

"Your origins are inherently situated between life and death. This method will help you master Yin and Yang, see through illusions, and attain great freedom between life and death."

Bai Yu stared blankly at the Dao diagram before him, which was constantly evolving through life and death.

Those eyes, which always carried a hint of gloom, surprisingly revealed a look of enlightenment.

Finally, Ma Yuan's gaze fell on his fourth disciple, Yun Shu, who possessed profound virtue and a gentle temperament.

“Yun Shu”.

"The disciple is here."

“Fortune is not something ethereal or illusory; it is the convergence of the will of all living beings and the great power of heaven and earth.”

Ma Yuan meticulously explained the profound and mysterious principles of destiny to her in a clear and concise manner.

"Today, I, your teacher, will pass on to you the Record of Auspicious Clouds and Fortune."

This method teaches you not to compete for fortune, but to manage, protect, and guide it.

Gathering energy for the temple is also accumulating blessings for oneself; this is the true path of a virtuous and blessed immortal.

Having said that, he gently moved the purple-gold jade ruyi that was suppressing the core of the Daoist temple's fortune.

With a flash of light, a dazzling talisman formed from the purest aura of the Daoist temple slowly separated from the jade ruyi and entered Yun Shu's brow.

"This is a talisman of destiny; you should refine it carefully."

From this day forward, you will assist this Purple Gold Jade Ruyi in regulating the flow of fortune within my Skull Mountain lineage, without fail.

"Disciple...will obey Master's orders!" Yun Shu felt the immense power of destiny that perfectly matched her own origin and quickly and respectfully agreed.

This is the end.

Space is empty, and immortals and witches temper their bodies.

Yin and Yang create, and fortune and blessings arise.

The true teachings of the four lineages were all passed down!
All four disciples were plunged into their own states of sudden enlightenment.

His body was filled with Taoist charm, and his aura rose steadily.

Upon seeing this, Ma Yuan nodded slightly and waved his sleeve.

Four gentle rays of the Five Elements divine light enveloped them and sent them back to their respective caves for secluded cultivation.

The remaining twenty-nine inner and outer disciples, though not receiving direct instruction, also benefited greatly from listening in.

They were amazed that their four senior disciples had all received such an incredible opportunity.

Although I felt envious, I felt no jealousy whatsoever.

They knew that they were ultimately a step behind in terms of character and perseverance.

Being able to join the Skull Mountain lineage is already an immense stroke of luck.

"We...respectfully thank our teacher for transmitting the Dharma and giving us a second chance at life!"

All the disciples, both inner and outer, sincerely bowed to Ma Yuan before them once again.

He then left, completely satisfied.
