Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 154 Innate Treasure (5K)

Ma Yuan calmly put the twelve newly acquired Sea-Stabilizing Pearls into his body.

He knew that this treasure was related to the foundation of his path beyond the mundane world.

It also carries the hopes for the future of the entire dragon race.

The consequences are so severe that there is no room for the slightest negligence.

He immediately addressed the candle dragon in a deep voice:
"I will live up to your trust, senior. You have generously given me this gift."

"This junior wishes to immediately enter seclusion in the Dragon Palace to thoroughly refine and integrate this treasure to solidify his foundation. I hope senior will grant my request."

“Very well.” The ancient voice of Zhulong slowly rang out, “Young friend, you may go.”

With the Great Alliance now established.

The desolate and deathly aura that had suppressed the dragon's majestic body for countless eons quietly dissipated at this moment.

Ma Yuan nodded slightly and said no more.

He addressed Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, who was standing to the side, completely captivated and utterly shocked:

"Dragon King, I still need to borrow your precious land for a while."

"You flatter me, Immortal! This is a great fortune for my Dragon Clan!" Ao Guang had only just recovered from the overwhelming shock, and his expression became more excited and respectful than ever before.
"I have prepared the most tranquil Listening Waves Hall of my Dragon Clan deep within the Crystal Palace. The water essence within it is the most abundant in the four seas, making it the most suitable place for immortals to refine treasures and cultivate in seclusion!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

He immediately stopped wasting any more time.

Under Yu Aoguang's personal guidance, they left the dark and desolate sea eye purgatory once again and returned to the magnificent crystal dragon palace.

……

The Listening Waves Palace is the forbidden place where the Dragon Kings of the Dragon Clan have secluded themselves to cultivate and comprehend the Dao.

The entire Dao Palace was actually carved from a single, flawless piece of ten-thousand-year-old cold marrow jade essence, and its interior was inscribed with a spirit-gathering divine restriction left by an ancient dragon clan powerhouse.

Fang Yi stepped inside.

A surge of pure, innate Gui water essence rushed towards us!

One day of cultivation here is equivalent to a hundred days of hard work outside!

Ma Yuan was quite satisfied with this place. He sat cross-legged on the futon in the center of the palace and said calmly to Ao Guang:

"Dragon King, this time I am in seclusion, which may last for several thousand years or even longer. No matter what strange phenomena occur during this time, there is no need to panic."

"This junior understands!" Ao Guang bowed deeply once again.
"This junior will personally guard the temple from outside, and will not allow any villains to disturb the immortal's peaceful cultivation!"

Having said that, he respectfully withdrew from the Taoist Palace.

And then slowly closed the heavy palace doors.

Om-!
As the palace doors closed, countless mysterious dragon-patterned restrictions lit up, instantly isolating this place from the outside world.

Inside the Taoist palace, tranquility and seclusion returned once more.

Ma Yuan slowly closed his eyes, adjusting his essence, energy, and spirit to their most perfect and complete state.

Then, he had a thought.

"Crash-!"

Thirty-six glittering pearls, all azure blue and shrouded in endless water elemental energy, emerged one after another from his body at this moment!

The twenty-four precious pearls, their radiance restrained and their Daoist charm harmonious, had long been refined by him to the point of being as responsive as his own limbs and completely connected to his mind and spirit.

The other twelve, however, were surrounded by a chaotic and violent aura originating from the eye of the East China Sea, making them appear unruly.

The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls then appeared.

The innate Gui water essence, which was already viscous like water, inside the entire Tingtao Hall, suddenly began to boil completely!
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be summoned by some most primal source, transforming into countless strands of pure energy that frantically converged towards the thirty-six precious pearls!

Upon seeing this, Ma Yuan remained completely calm and composed.

His vast, ocean-like primordial spirit power erupted at this moment.

It transformed into a gigantic, invisible furnace, instantly enveloping all thirty-six precious pearls within it!

"combine!"

A low shout originating from the deepest part of the primordial spirit.

Ma Yuan held nothing back. His immense magical power, which had already reached the Great Luo realm, flowed into the primordial spirit furnace like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea!

He did not rush to refine the twelve newly acquired pearls.

Instead, it uses its own innate Five Elements Dao Body, which is already perfectly harmonious and flawless, as a bridge.

He began to use the essence of the twenty-four precious pearls, which he had already refined with forty innate restrictions, as a guide to communicate and merge with the twelve unruly Sea-Stabilizing Pearls!
This process is tedious and lengthy.

Although those twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls are from the same source as Ma Yuan's twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

However, having been dispersed over countless eons, it has also acquired many different Daoist charms.

Therefore, Ma Yuan now wants to combine the two into one, turning them into a supreme innate treasure.

Its difficulty far surpasses that of refining ordinary magical artifacts.

This move is like forcibly converging two rivers that have already diverged for countless eons back into one place.

The repulsive force generated within is enough to make any Great Luo Golden Immortal change color!
However, Ma Yuan remained humble and composed, his Daoist heart as steady as a rock.

He used his own transcendent Daoist aura, which had long been a world unto itself, as a starting point.

It gradually eroded the remaining chaotic evil energy on the twelve precious pearls.

The twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls contain a total of forty-eight complex and profound innate restrictions.

It has already reached the pinnacle of the supreme innate spiritual treasure.

It's only a step away from that innate treasure that can suppress the fortune of a region!
Now, thanks to the arduous cultivation and fortuitous opportunities of those past several eons, Ma Yuan has already refined all the first forty innate restrictions within those twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Therefore, this application can be considered quite familiar.

Without this as a starting point, it would probably take a lot of hard work to combine the two treasures into one.

There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and it is so cold that I don’t know the year.

The vast expanse of over three thousand seven hundred years is but a fleeting moment within this silent Taoist palace.

Finally, at a certain moment.

When the last wisp of Ma Yuan's primordial spirit imprint completely merged with the core of the twelfth Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, becoming inseparable from each other.

"Buzz!!!!"

The thirty-six dazzling pearls, which were originally quite distinct, suddenly emitted a joyful buzzing sound filled with endless happiness without any warning!
Its surface shone brightly, imbued with the essence of Taoism!
Thirty-six dazzling blue beams of light shot into the sky from each of the precious pearls.

Above the dome of that palace, a vast and boundless chaotic star sea converged!

Seeing this, Ma Yuan knew that the most crucial moment had arrived!

He dared not be negligent in the slightest, and once again pushed his vast primordial spirit power to its limit!

"Returning to the origin, the ultimate treasure is achieved!"

Rumble—!!!!!!!!!

The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which were already connected by their origin, transformed into thirty-six streams of light and began to spin wildly within the Primordial Spirit Furnace!
They attract each other and merge with each other!
The forty-eight innate restrictions belonging to the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls suddenly shattered without warning!
It transformed into countless strands of the most primordial Dao runes, which rearranged and recombined in the chaotic starry sea!
Ultimately, at the very core of all the runes.

A brand new divine restriction, filled with supreme principles of suppression, derivation, and creation, far surpassing any previous restriction in its profoundness, slowly took shape!
The forty-ninth innate divine restriction!
It was precisely at the very moment that this divine restriction was completely formed!
A terrifying aura, powerful enough to make the entire world tremble, suddenly erupted from the Listening Waves Palace!
Innate treasure!

At that moment, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls finally merged completely into one!
It transformed into a bracelet of thirty-six identical azure divine beads, each shrouded in a wisp of chaotic energy.

It had no dazzling light, nor any earth-shattering power.

Only the supreme truth of returning to simplicity, in the rotation of each divine pearl, elucidates the cycle of birth and death of a world!

With a thought, the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls floated quietly in his palm.

Its Taoist charm is restrained and understated, returning to simplicity and authenticity, without any trace of its former sharpness.

However, Ma Yuan could clearly sense that this seemingly ordinary pearl contained the complete origin of the chaotic world in thirty-six directions!
The thirty-six world origins are interconnected by their respective energies, creating a continuous cycle of life.

It has already become a supreme cycle that can rival the primordial Heavenly Dao!

"A supreme innate treasure..."

Ma Yuan murmured to himself. A hint of heartfelt admiration flashed in his usually calm and collected eyes.

He could clearly sense that as this treasure was promoted to a supreme innate treasure...

Inside, the Purple Necklace Heaven, which had already evolved into a middle-thousand world, had its world membrane become several times thicker and more solid at this moment!
Its laws are now operating a thousand times more reliably than before!
Ma Yuan knew what was going on for him now.

The significance of these thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls has long since transcended that of a mere treasure for attacking enemies.

Rather, it is the supreme foundation that carries the Great Dao beyond the mundane world.

"A world of its own is ultimately too limited."

Ma Yuan thought to himself, his gaze hardening once more.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately flicked his sleeve in front of him.

With a flash of light, the ancient scroll obtained from the treasure vault of the East Sea Dragon Palace quietly floated in front of him.

The Four Seas Qian Yuan Map!
This treasure is a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, but for him it is no longer considered top-tier.

However, the small world contained within it, which has already evolved into the prototype of the Zhou Tian and is highly compatible with the Water Element Law, is the best choice to carry the innate water spirit of the Dragon Clan and open up a new path for them!
"I will use you as the foundation to create a brand new world for my divine kingdom!"

With a thought, one of the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls flashed with light.

The world inside was still in a state of chaos and ignorance, without any sign of life.

The Daoist principles of that precious pearl slowly unfolded in mid-air, transforming into a vast and boundless chaotic world within which earth, water, fire, and wind surged endlessly!

Ma Yuan did not hesitate; he activated his already perfect and flawless Great Luo Dao Fruit.

With great magical power, he carefully carried the "Four Seas Qian Yuan Map" into the core of that chaotic world!
"boom--!!!!!"

As soon as the scroll was entered, the previously calm and chaotic world suddenly began to tremble violently without warning!
The immense water elemental power contained within the painting collided most violently with the most primordial elements of earth, water, fire, and wind in the chaotic world at this moment!

The entire world was in turmoil at this moment, as if it were in danger of collapsing and shattering at any moment!

However, Ma Yuan's face remained completely expressionless.

Such world-shaking scenes were already familiar to him.

At that moment, his vast and boundless primordial spirit power erupted!
Its Daoist essence, which had long been completely integrated with Zi Yingtian, transformed into an invisible and intangible hand of creation at this moment, probing into that chaotic world!
"Edict!"

A majestic and awe-inspiring Daoist voice emanated from his mouth.

The "Four Seas Qian Yuan Map," which had been floating endlessly in chaos, suddenly burst into brilliant light without any warning!

Under the influence of Ma Yuan's creation-inspired hand, the scroll itself completely shattered in an instant!
It transformed into countless strands of the most primordial innate water elemental Dao script, merging into that chaotic world!
Rumble—!!!!!!!!!

In an instant, the entire chaotic world was completely thrown into turmoil!

The originally raging elements of earth, water, fire, and wind gradually became gentle and orderly under the nourishment and regulation of this vast source of water.

That small world, which was originally only a few hundred million miles in circumference, began to expand and evolve wildly at this moment!
Its world membranes continuously extend outward, devouring and transforming the surging chaotic energy into abundant resources for the world's growth!

Its nascent earthly veins spread wildly across the boundless ocean floor, making the entire world's land increasingly solid and vast!

What was originally an endless expanse of water gradually differentiated into rivers, lakes, and seas under the expansion and support of the earth's veins.

The water boiled and the waves rolled, full of endless vitality!

Moreover, the originally low and dim sky seemed to rise higher and higher at this moment.

The pure air rises, while the turbid air sinks, and the image of the heavens is already faintly visible!
Ma Yuan calmly gazed at the magnificent scene before him, a scene comparable to the creation of the world.

His mind was completely immersed in the evolution of this world, forgetting himself and the world around him.

I don't know exactly how much time has passed.

When that last wisp of primordial Daoist essence originating from the "Four Seas Qian Yuan Diagram" completely merges with this newly born world, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

Ma Yuan's calm yet profound voice, at this moment, resounded throughout the entire world like a divine decree.

"This realm originates from the 'Four Seas Qian Yuan Diagram'. Now that we have achieved our goal, we should inherit its name."

"From this day forward, this world shall be—"

"Qian Yuan Tian!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the newborn world let out a joyful roar.

It is as if it is a most fundamental recognition of the name bestowed upon it by its creator god.

However, Ma Yuan did not feel the slightest bit of joy because of this.

He could clearly sense that the Qian Yuan Heaven before him seemed vast and boundless, teeming with life.

However, its internal structure is still riddled with hidden dangers and its foundation is unstable.

Within its world, the water element is abundant to the extreme.

However, the earth element that carries all things, the wood element that gives birth to all things, the metal element that generates all things, and even the fire element that balances yin and yang, are so thin that they are almost non-existent!

The Five Elements are out of balance, and Yin and Yang are not in harmony!
Such a world is like a magnificent yet fragile glass palace. It appears grand, but in reality, it is in danger of collapsing and shattering at the slightest external impact.

There is still a vast distance of 108,000 miles between us and the true Middle Thousand World.

"The foundation is still shallow, and we need to work hard and gradually build it up in the future."

Ma Yuan understood immediately and slowly regained his composure.

He knew that places like Ziying Immortal Mountain, which had evolved over countless eons and whose five elements were perfectly balanced and whose laws were naturally formed, were innate blessed lands that were rare and unparalleled creations that could only be encountered by chance.

This Qian Yuan Heaven was formed from the origin of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Its natural resources are far inferior to those of a top-tier blessed land.

Ma Yuan slowly withdrew his supernatural powers.

The newly born Qian Yuan Heaven also flashed with light.

It transformed once again into an inconspicuous azure pearl and flew back into his palm.

He slowly stood up from the cold jade futon.

His aura was even more unfathomable than before he went into seclusion.

He took a step forward, and his figure appeared silently outside the Taoist palace, whose doors were already wide open.

"Supreme Immortal!"

When Ao Guang saw Ma Yuan emerge from seclusion, he could sense that Ma Yuan's aura had become increasingly profound and unfathomable, as if he had merged with the Great Dao.

He dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly stepped forward to bow.

"Dragon King, there's no need for such formalities." Ma Yuan smiled calmly and nodded slightly.

"I have troubled the Dragon King to protect me for thousands of years. I will remember this cause and effect."

Having said that, he didn't linger for a moment, and started walking again towards the even deeper sea eye purgatory.

When Ma Yuan's figure reappeared in that place where black karmic fire and water vein evil energy intertwined.

The vast and ancient will of the Candle Dragon, which dwells in the deepest part of Purgatory, was awakened immediately.

"Young friend, you have gained a lot from this seclusion."

His voice carried a hint of heartfelt admiration.

He could clearly sense that Ma Yuan was still at the initial stage of the Great Luo Realm.

However, its original essence is much more profound and solid than it was thousands of years ago.

He clearly benefited greatly from the refining and fusion of those thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

"My meager cultivation is nothing more than a firefly's light in the eyes of a senior like you."

Ma Yuan responded modestly, then immediately cut to the chase without any further beating around the bush:

"Thanks to the generous gift from my senior, I am fortunate to have lived up to your expectations."

Now, within my myriad worlds, a brand new habitat has been created for the dragon race.

"However, this world is still in its infancy, its foundation is still shallow, and its laws are not yet perfect."

Ma Yuan's voice became incredibly solemn and serious.

"The foundation of the world has been established, but whether it can truly isolate the shackles of the Heavenly Dao that have long been deeply ingrained in the bloodline of the dragon race remains to be seen."
