Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 133 Flowers Bloom in Nine Grades
Ma Yuan sat cross-legged in the Jade Pool Immortal Abode, his body exuding the innate five elements Daoist charm, and the energy of creation rising.

The innate Five Elements Dao Body, reshaped from the body formed by the reversal of acquired evil energy, was crystal clear and contained within its precious light.

Every inch of flesh and bone is engraved with the Five Elements Origin Dao Runes.

The fierce divine appearance formed by acquired evil energy has completely disappeared, replaced by a divine and serene appearance, naturally possessing a dignified and innate divine aura.

Five-colored divine light intertwined behind Ma Yuan's head, forming a self-circulating, endless cycle, illustrating the supreme and wondrous principle of the perfect harmony of the five elements.

At this moment, in the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, his foundation, cultivation, and magical power have all reached a state of perfection!

"On the path of greatness, one either advances or retreats! Today, let us press on with renewed vigor and scale new heights!"

Ma Yuan gave a low shout in his heart, and the newly formed perfect innate five elements Dao body suddenly started to operate!
The ever-flowing five-colored divine light behind his head now shone brightly, gathering above his head into a five-colored auspicious cloud about an acre in size!

Above the auspicious clouds, the five elements rose, and the Daoist charm permeated the air.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Yuan activated all the immense magical power contained within his body!
The dazzling golden wheel, which floated outside his primordial spirit and was formed from immeasurable merit, also shone brightly at this moment, transforming into the purest torrent of merit!

At this moment, two immense forces surged into the five-colored auspicious cloud, which was only about an acre in size!
Boom——!!!!!!

The entire Qingyun Mountain surged violently, as if it were giving birth to some supreme creation that would make heaven and earth take notice!

After an unknown amount of time, the surging auspicious clouds gradually subsided.

Three dazzling lotus flowers, no bigger than a baby's fist and crystal clear, slowly rose from the core of the auspicious cloud!

Daohua!

These three flowers are interwoven from the purest essence, qi, and spirit, representing the essence of a cultivator's cultivation and the sole foundation for reaching the Great Luo realm!

The lotus flower had already fully bloomed as soon as it appeared.

Five-colored Daoist energy flowed around it, and it had already directly reached the third grade of the flower blooming stage!

However, this is only the beginning!
With the perfect foundation of Dao forged by reversing the innate and acquired, and the immeasurable merit gained from sorting out the earth's veins and slaying ferocious beasts.

Ma Yuan's current accumulation of wealth has reached an unbelievable level!

The light shone on the three-grade Dao flower once again!

Fourth grade...

Fifth grade...

Rank 6...

The flower has reached the sixth grade, which is already a mid-level realm, enough to make even ordinary Great Luo Immortals envious!
However, its blooming momentum has not stopped in the slightest!

Rank 7!
Rank 8!
Ninth Rank!
It was swift and decisive, accomplished in one fell swoop!
Finally, when the ninth petal, imbued with the essence of perfect Dao, fully bloomed above the auspicious clouds.

A terrifying aura, perfectly harmonious and indestructible, swept out from the three ninth-grade Dao flowers!

Humans are of nine grades, and the physical body is perfect!
The Earth Flower has nine grades, and its magical power is perfected!
The Heavenly Flower has nine grades, and the primordial spirit is perfected!
Now all three flowers are gathered!

This marks the beginning of the Great Luo Realm.

It is the foundation that leads to Quasi-Saint, and even to the Primordial Saint Path!
It was at the very moment that the ninth-grade Dao flower fully bloomed that Ma Yuan's primordial spirit was instantly drawn in by an invisible yet vast power!

Having broken free from the constraints of his physical body, his perspective was elevated to an infinitely higher level at this moment!

He saw a surging, illusory river, whose beginning and end were unknown.

That long river is vast and boundless, connecting the past, present, and future.

Its interior reflects the endless cycle of birth and death of countless living beings since the beginning of time, and the arising and ceasing of all things.

Time flows!

Any living being that has not attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit is submerged in this river, drifting with the current, unable to control their own destiny.

Only by completely transcending one's true spirit from this long river can one look down upon eternity and live a carefree life!

Ordinary cultivators, upon first witnessing such a sight, would surely be lost in the endless turbulent currents of time and space and the entanglements of the fates of countless beings, their Dao hearts shattered. Yet Ma Yuan showed not a trace of bewilderment.

He relied on the Dao of Time that he had comprehended when he merged with the One-Day Lotus in the Purple Jade Heaven.

Ma Yuan felt that the vast river before him, which would deter even the most powerful immortals, suddenly seemed so familiar.

He could clearly feel that as long as he had a thought, he could instantly free his true spirit from the river of time!

At that time, all that is needed is to entrust that wisp of true spirit to the supreme and boundless primordial Heavenly Dao.

Then one can achieve perfect merit and attain the indestructible Great Luo Dao fruit.

From then on, I lived a carefree life between heaven and earth!

However, it was precisely at this final moment, when success was about to be achieved, that they succeeded.

A thought arose spontaneously from the depths of his mind without warning.

"To entrust...to the true spirit?"

Ma Yuan looked down upon his own innate Five Elements Dao Body, which sat cross-legged within the Immortal Abode, from the river of time.

A hint of hesitation flashed in those eyes.

"The so-called entrustment is nothing more than entrusting one's life and fortune entirely to the hands of this primordial Heavenly Dao."

"If that immeasurable calamity truly descends, and the Heavenly Dao itself is in danger of collapse, how can my wisp of true spirit imprint, which is entrusted to it, be preserved?"

“In the past, during the great calamity of the Dragon and Han dynasties, the struggle between the demonic and the righteous was still ongoing. Dao Ancestor Hongjun had not yet merged with the Dao, and the Heavenly Dao still had loopholes. Countless innate saints perished and their Daos vanished during that great calamity.”

"The age of sages has now arrived, but although sages are not in danger of falling, they are still subject to the rule of Heaven."

During the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, the Tongtian Sect Leader set up the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which could not be broken by any but the Four Sages. Yet, in the end, he still suffered the destruction of his lineage and was imprisoned in the Zixiao Palace, a tragic fate.

"Such immortality, achieved while living under someone else's roof, is ultimately just a mirage, not what I seek!"

"What I seek is not immortality under someone else's roof, but true freedom that is under my own control!"

boom--! ! ! !

Upon realizing this, Ma Yuan's vast primordial spirit was struck as if by lightning!

The supreme temptation that led to the Great Luo realm was completely severed at this moment by his already rock-solid and steadfast Dao heart!

He no longer hesitated for a moment.

Its immortal spirit did not choose to return to its physical body.

Nor did it ever delve into the seemingly within-reach primordial origin of the Heavenly Dao.

Instead, it transformed into a dazzling five-colored stream of light, tearing through the endless void in an instant!

They charged straight into the Purple Necklace Heaven, a middle-thousand world that had already evolved to perfection and was independent of the primordial world!
An incredibly bold, even insane, idea suddenly arose in his mind!

"Since I am unwilling to entrust my destiny to the primordial Heavenly Dao, why can't I... entrust my destiny to my own Dao?!"

"I personally created this Purple Jade Heaven. Although the nascent Heavenly Dao within it is still in its infancy, it is already fully formed in terms of laws and operates continuously!"

"Today I will perform a feat unprecedented in history!"

"I speak my heart on behalf of Heaven! I act on behalf of Heaven's will!"

"With my true spirit, I will completely merge with the nascent form of the Heavenly Dao of the Purple Necklace Heaven!"

"From this day forward, I am the Heavenly Way, and the Heavenly Way is me!"

"My own path must be borne by myself!"

"This is the true Great Luo Path of Ma Yuan!"
