Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 130 Purple Necklace: The Four Seasons (4K)

Ma Yuan held the small white lotus, barely the size of his palm, and a slight ripple appeared in his eyes.

A mid-grade innate spiritual root is no longer considered a rare treasure given his current wealth.

However, the time-related Daoist principles contained within this lotus are even more valuable than the peaches bestowed by the Queen Mother of the West!

If others were to obtain this treasure, they might only be able to glean a tiny, superficial understanding from its cycle of birth and death, using it to accelerate their own spiritual practice.

Or, during a magical duel, slightly influence the flow of time experienced by the opponent.

However, for Ma Yuan, this treasure had an even greater use!
With a thought, his mind traversed endless time and space, sinking into the Purple Jewel Heaven, a middle-thousand world that had already evolved to perfection.

Today, the Purple Jade Heaven has undergone countless millennia of evolution, and its interior is now teeming with life and its laws are firmly established.

The three races of metal, wood, and thunder, along with countless other creatures, thrived and multiplied in this vast world, creating a prosperous and thriving scene.

However, Ma Yuan, as the only creator god of this world, clearly knew that although this world seemed perfect, its laws of time were chaotic and singular.

Although the creatures here can sense the passage of time, they have no concept of "years" or "four seasons".

The growth of a spiritual root, from sprouting to maturity, may take ten thousand years, or it may only take a few breaths; there is no rule to follow in between.

The whole world seemed to be forever stuck in a vibrant yet monotonous long summer.

There is only "existence" and "passage," but no "rotation" and "rhythm."

Such incomplete laws were not a problem at the very beginning of the world.

However, if this continues, it will inevitably lead to a slow and stagnant evolution of the entire world.

The one-day lotus before us, with its cycle of blooming and withering, embodies the most fundamental rhythm and the wonder of rotation within the great Dao of time!
"If the essence of this lotus can be integrated into the embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao of the Purple Jade Heaven, the chaotic and singular laws of time in this world can be completed in an instant!"

Upon realizing this, even Ma Yuan's usually calm and unwavering Dao heart was slightly stirred.

The celestial gathering ended, and the immortals dispersed.

Ma Yuan did not linger outside. He declined the invitation from the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and others to discuss the Dao again and returned directly to the serene immortal abode located by the Jade Pool.

As the heavy stone door slowly closed again, the entire immortal abode was once again completely isolated from the outside world.

Ma Yuan sat cross-legged on the blue stone cushion, his expression becoming solemn and dignified.

He carefully held the small, palm-sized, three-petaled lotus in his palm.

The next moment, his entire mind was completely immersed in the vast and boundless Purple Necklace Heaven.

At the summit of Ziying Divine Mountain, Ma Yuan's colossal, creation-themed image, towering hundreds of millions of feet high, quietly emerged.

He held the three-tiered lotus in his hand, and the vast Daoist sound slowly resonated in the hearts of every living being in this world.

"Now I add another law to this world, to establish the four seasons and to set the cycle of rebirth!"

Once he finished speaking, he no longer hesitated for a moment.

He gently pressed the lotus in his palm down onto the world's origin core, which was already bursting with spiritual energy!

"Om-!"

The moment of contact with the origin of the world.

The original form of that one-day lotus instantly transformed into countless profound runes containing the Dao of Time, which, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, were completely integrated into the nascent form of the Heavenly Dao!

Boom——!!!!!!

The entire Purple Jade Heaven trembled violently without warning at this moment!

The cyclical rhythm of time originating from the Lotus of One Day is amplified infinitely under the blessing of the complete Heavenly Dao Laws of this Middle Thousand World!

It began in the chaotic river of time, adding entirely new laws to this ignorant world!

This process lasted for an unknown period of time.

It may be a fleeting moment, or it may last for eternity.

Finally, when that last wisp of the Dao of Time completely merged with the origin of the world.

The entire Purple Necklace Heaven returned to peace once more.

However, all living beings could clearly sense that this world seemed to have undergone some inexplicable fundamental change in the dark!
A breath of creation, the very essence of the Dao at its inception, slowly rose from the deepest part of the earth's veins.

Between heaven and earth, the first wisp of nascent yang energy broke through the yin turbidity.

The laws of life began to become more active than ever before.

Spring is here!

Immediately afterwards, the warm and gentle yang energy rose steadily until it reached its peak, and the endless pure yang essence transformed into divine radiance that spread across the earth!

The innate beings of the three races—Gold Spirit, Wood Spirit, and Thunder Spirit—felt their blood boiling, and many of their innate divine abilities awakened, causing them to roar joyfully to the sky.

The Law of Growth began to dominate the universe.

Summer is long!

Then, the intense pure yang energy slowly subsided.

As the yang energy gradually diminishes, the yin energy begins to emerge.

The first wisp of primordial, chilling energy was quietly born between heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth shifted from unrestrained to restrained.

The law of gathering begins to circulate.

autumn harvest!

Finally, when that last wisp of yang energy seeped into the depths of the earth's veins, yin energy completely dominated the world.

All life returns to its origin, and within this great stillness, the endless vitality of the next cycle is conceived.

The Law of Concealment began to govern the world.

Winter hibernation!

Spring brings forth life, summer fosters growth, autumn brings harvest, and winter brings rest!
A complete and perfect cycle of the four seasons has finally been established in this newly born Middle Thousand World!
From then on, the world had rhythms, and living things had years.

Ma Yuan sat cross-legged atop the Purple Jade Mountain, his eyes reflecting the complete cycle of the four seasons.

The infinite and profound principles of the Great Dao of Time, namely "rhythm" and "rotation," were all imprinted into the depths of his primordial spirit at this moment, transforming into a part of his own Great Dao!

At this moment, his understanding of the Dao of Time instantly reached a whole new level!

"So... this is the cycle of the four seasons..."

Ma Yuan slowly opened his eyes, a fleeting, profound Daoist aura flashing within them.

"Even without this one-day lotus, as the laws of time within the Purple Jewel Heaven continue to improve themselves, the cycle of the four seasons will eventually evolve one day."

"However, this process will likely be extremely long, often taking up to 100 years."

"But now, I am merely using this spiritual root as a guide to shorten this process by countless times."

……

Phoenix Perch Mountain, Nuwa Palace. On the cloud bed, Nuwa's peerless and holy figure slowly opened her eyes, her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a lingering sense of confusion lingered in her eyes.

After the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, she received the Primordial Purple Qi personally bestowed upon her by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Despite tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, and although she had severed her two corpses, one good and one evil, and her cultivation had reached the peak of the late Quasi-Saint stage, she was still unable to break through to the realm of the Primordial Saint.

Just now, she had a discussion with her brother Fuxi, who had returned from the Heavenly Court of the Demon Clan.

Despite the gains, the inexplicable sense of loss deep in his heart became increasingly intense.

She felt that this vast and boundless primordial world, though dominated by the witch and demon races and teeming with countless creatures of scales, armor, and feathers, was lacking a certain kind of spirituality.

It's like a magnificent and unparalleled painting, but it's missing that crucial finishing touch.

"Where exactly does my path to sainthood lie?"

Nuwa murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes filled with deep confusion.

To dispel the confusion in one's heart and attain the coveted Primordial Holy Path.

As soon as Nuwa had a thought, her holy figure silently disappeared from Phoenix Perch Mountain.

The next moment, they had already descended upon Mount Buzhou, the center of the primordial continent.

This place was formed from the spine of Pangu, and it is also the place where the laws of the Great Dao are most clearly manifested in the entire primordial world.

She did not disturb the witch clan that resided in the area.

I simply found a quiet valley and sat cross-legged on the blue stone.

Its vast and boundless primordial spirit was completely unleashed at this moment.

Slowly merging with the omnipresent will of Heaven, quietly comprehending the profound principles governing the operation of this world.

This sitting has lasted for a thousand years.

For someone of her innate divine nature, a thousand years is but a fleeting moment.

Yet, in these thousand years of meditation and contemplation, she seemed to have experienced countless reincarnations and witnessed all the myriad forms of life in this primordial world.

She saw on the earth that the Wu tribe possessed incomparably powerful physical bodies, capable of tearing apart dragons and elephants with their bare hands and roaring down stars.

However, he did not cultivate his primordial spirit, nor did he understand divination. He acted entirely based on his bloodline instincts and relied too much on the legacy of Pangu, ultimately falling into a lower realm.

She then saw that in the heavens above, the demon race could absorb the essence of the sun and moon, comprehend the Great Dao, and transform into innate Dao bodies.

However, their bestial nature is hard to change; the law of the jungle prevails, and chaos reigns. Ultimately, they lack true order and wisdom.

She had seen all the myriad races of this ancient world, from the phoenixes soaring through the heavens to the dragons swimming across the four seas, from the spirits of the mountains to the beasts of the forests…

All living beings in this primordial world struggle to survive, following their most primal instincts.

The sense of loss in her heart became even stronger and clearer at this moment.

At that moment, Nuwa's primordial spirit, which had long been in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, was drawn into the deeper reaches of the Heavenly Dao River by a supreme, boundless will that was devoid of sorrow or joy!
Here, there is no time, no space.

Only the most fundamental and pure laws of the Great Dao, like countless brilliant threads, are woven into an invisible giant net covering the entire primordial world.

Here, she saw the origin of this world.

At the highest point, a clear and rising yang law, full of order and majesty, transformed into the Heavenly Dao that governs the operation of all things.

And in that lowest place, a turbid and sinking stream, filled with the gentle and inclusive laws of Yin, transformed into the tunnel that nurtured countless living beings.

Heaven is above, and represents Yang.

The tunnel is below, which is considered Yin.

However, in the universe, yin and yang flow and cycle endlessly, but there is a crucial link that is missing to harmonize the perfect cycle of yin and yang!

The moment Nuwa had an epiphany, the will of Heaven revealed to her a concept, rather than a physical entity, deep within her primordial spirit.

This concept is called "human".

Its form resembles the most perfect innate Dao body, perfectly aligned with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, far surpassing all other races.

Although his body was weak and frail, he was born without the power to move mountains and overturn seas, and could not compare with the powerful physical bodies of witches and demons.

Its soul, however, contains boundless wisdom and creative power, capable of comprehending the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, creating brilliant civilizations, and giving birth to infinite possibilities in that endless proliferation!
Its position should be the core of the three powers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, the most intelligent of all things, and the protagonist of Heaven and Earth!
boom--! ! ! !

Nuwa's vast primordial spirit was struck by lightning at this moment, and instantly returned to her original body from the depths of the Heavenly Dao River!

She suddenly opened her eyes, and there was no longer any confusion or bewilderment in those beautiful eyes.

Instead, an unprecedentedly brilliant light of enlightenment shone forth!
"That's it...that's it!"

She murmured to herself, her voice filled with barely suppressed excitement.

"The Way of Heaven has long established the position of 'human beings,' making them the pivot of the three realms and the most intelligent of all beings!"

"It is not that I want to create humans, but that the great Dao of Heaven and Earth requires me to truly manifest this long-existing concept of humanity in this primordial world!"

The bottleneck to sainthood that had plagued her for countless eons shattered at this moment!
Having understood her destiny, Nuwa no longer hesitated.

With a flick of her sleeve, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil quietly floated before her.

She then summoned the Three Lights Divine Water, which contained boundless creative power, and slowly mixed it with the Breath Soil.

In an instant, a lump of divine clay, filled with boundless creative energy, slowly took shape in her palm.

She did not fabricate it arbitrarily.

Instead, she used her own perfect innate Dao body, bestowed by the creation of heaven and earth, as a template, and poured the concept of "humanity" that the Dao revealed to her primordial spirit into it.

Her slender fingers gently twirled the object.

Soon, a clay figure, no bigger than the palm of her hand, with complete facial features and a lifelike shape, was perfectly sculpted in her hands.

When the first clay figure was completed, it was gently placed on the ground at the foot of Mount Buzhou.

The miracle happened!
The tiny clay figure grew rapidly in the wind the moment it came into contact with the earth's turbid air!
In just a few breaths, it had transformed into a living being no different from ordinary immortals and gods!
Its body was not strong; in fact, it could be described as frail.

Yet, his clear black and white eyes were filled with indescribable wisdom and brilliance as he curiously surveyed this unfamiliar world.

Nuwa then followed the same method.

The first human race in the primordial world came into being!

A total of 128 people.

They were born with knowledge, needing no instruction. In the deepest part of their primordial spirit, they already knew that the peerless and holy woman before them was their creator and their mother.

In their hearts, there was no fear or confusion like that of ordinary newborn spirit beasts, only the purest filial piety and reverence!

The 128 humans seemed to be guided by some kind of instinct, and they all knelt down on the ground in unison.

He solemnly kowtowed to Nuwa, who was still suspended in mid-air.

And with a still somewhat immature innate Daoist voice, they uttered the first sound belonging to this entirely new race in this world:
"Greetings... Holy Mother!"
