Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 167 It Has to Be Changed Whether You Want To or Not

In that instant, Ma Yuan understood the origin and background of the Earth Spirit Pearl before him.

His Daoist heart couldn't help but ripple with emotion.

He was well aware that this object was indeed formed from fragments of the Chaos Pearl.

Therefore, for his Dao, which was based on the creation of the world, the significance of this item far exceeded that of an ordinary high-grade innate spiritual treasure!

If one can obtain this treasure, one can integrate its essence into one's own thirty-four chaotic worlds that are still evolving.

This will surely allow those chaotic and ignorant nascent worlds to completely solidify their earthly foundations in the shortest possible time!

The speed of its world evolution will therefore increase a thousandfold!
For him, this treasure was already no less valuable than the "Four Seas Qian Yuan Map"!
Once this thought was made, Ma Yuan no longer hesitated in the slightest.

He slowly walked up to Guang Chengzi and said:
“Fellow Daoist Guangchengzi, I am quite interested in this pearl in your hand.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Yuan did not wait for a response from the other party.

He then calmly waved his sleeve in front of him.

Three beams of light, brimming with vitality and imbued with the radiant divine light of Daoist principles, emerged from his sleeves in an instant!

Three spiritual roots.

Two are of inferior quality, and one is of medium quality!
As soon as he finished speaking, he attracted the attention of many independent cultivators from the East China Sea!
"Hiss—! There are actually three complete innate spiritual roots! One of them is even of medium grade!"

"Such a feat is truly astounding! Innate spiritual roots are rare and hard to come by, but their advantage lies in providing a continuous source of resources for the Dao lineage. In terms of long-term value, they are indeed comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!"

"This Fellow Daoist Ma Yuan is truly unfathomable in his profound knowledge! This exchange demonstrates his sincerity!"

The countless immortals and gods were all deeply shocked by Ma Yuan's extravagant gesture!

However, this exchange with Ma Yuan was already a very sincere one.

Guang Chengzi, who already harbored resentment towards him, let out a cold laugh at this moment.

His arrogant gaze slowly swept over the three innate spiritual roots before him, his voice filled with undisguised mockery and disdain.

"This humble Taoist's treasure can be exchanged for any of the fellow Taoists present, even for that Western Taoist who is already at odds with the Taoist teachings of my Chan Sect..."

Guang Chengzi paused, his icy gaze fixed intently on Ma Yuan, and said, word by word:

"And I will never give it to you, who disrespects the way of Heaven and has long since gone astray, a heretic!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming, who had been watching with great interest from the sidelines, instantly had his face filled with boundless rage!

"Guang Chengzi! You've gone too far!"

A thunderous roar, powerful enough to shake the heavens, exploded from Zhao Gongming's mouth!

His massive body, already possessing the immense magical power of the Great Luo realm, now erupted without any reservation!

Behind Zhao Gongming, a towering Dharma image, tens of thousands of feet tall, with the roar of dragons and tigers and the thunder of laws, soared into the sky!

A terrifying pressure, enough to make even the wind and clouds change color, instantly locked onto Guang Chengzi, whose face was already cold!

The most fiery-tempered fairy, Bixiao, beside him, could no longer contain herself!

She let out a sharp cry and suddenly waved her slender hand in front of her!
A pair of dazzling golden scissors, composed of two intertwined golden dragon phantoms and exuding a terrifying aura capable of severing all things in the world, soared into the sky at this moment!

"If you don't want to exchange it, then don't! Why resort to insults? Do you really think my siblings and I are easy to bully?"

In an instant, tensions rose high over the entire Penglai Immortal Island!

The auspicious clouds and auspicious energy that had gathered for countless millennia vanished in an instant under the terrifying pressure that could tear the sky apart!

A great battle that will shake the entire East China Sea is about to break out!
But it was precisely at this moment that...

Ma Yuan, who had been silent all along, slowly raised his right hand and gently blocked the void.

A gentle yet vast Daoist aura arose out of nowhere at this moment.

With ease, they calmed down both the already furious Zhao Gongming and the enraged Fairy Bixiao.

Ma Yuan slowly turned around, calmly looking at Guang Chengzi, who was already displaying an air of confidence, and his gentle and calm voice slowly rang out.

“Fellow Daoist Guang Chengzi, the Yi Bao Conference emphasizes the word ‘Yi’ (易, meaning change/change).

"Mutual consent is the only reasonable approach."

"Since you are unwilling, I should not force you."

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi couldn't help but let out a mocking smile.

In his eyes, this heretical cultivator had ultimately chosen to back down under the weight of his Chan Sect's formidable reputation.

However, before he could even open his mouth and utter those sarcastic words that would make the other party lose face, he was met with a harsh reality check.

Ma Yuan's calm voice suddenly changed its tone at this moment!
His tone carried an undeniable air of dominance and resolve!
"only……"

“This pearl has a great karmic connection with me and is of great importance to my path of cultivation.”

"You have to change it today, whether you like it or not..."

"It has to be replaced!"

The moment the words fell!
Ma Yuan didn't utter another word of nonsense!

Its wide sleeves fluttered gently in the void.

A dazzling golden light flashed and disappeared from his sleeve in an instant!
Its speed is swift, and its power is subtle.

Even Guang Chengzi, whose cultivation was quite impressive, failed to notice it immediately!

It was that supreme treasure, which he had already refined to perfection, specifically designed to counter all kinds of magical weapons in the world—

Lost money!

Upon hearing Ma Yuan's almost threatening words, Guang Chengzi's arrogant face still held a disdainful sneer. However, the next moment!
His expression suddenly changed without warning!
"not good!"

A gasp of disbelief escaped his lips, unable to be contained any longer!

He was horrified to discover that his connection with the Earth Spirit Orb had been forcibly severed without warning by an irresistible and strange force of law!
Then, under his horrified gaze...

The superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Earth Spirit Pearl, which he had enveloped with layers of Jade Pure Immortal Light, unexpectedly flew out of his hand uncontrollably!
Finally, under the stunned gazes of countless immortals and gods.

It transformed into a streak of earthy yellow light, landing precisely and steadily in the hand of the Taoist in green robes who calmly extended his palm!

I acquired the Earth Spirit Orb; it feels warm and substantial.

What flows on it is the purest and most original innate earth element Daoist rhythm.

Under the influence of Ma Yuan's already flawless innate Five Elements Dao Body, it emitted a series of warm and joyful buzzing sounds.

However, Ma Yuan calmly and slowly put the precious pearl into his sleeve.

His gaze calmly rose and fell upon Guang Chengzi, who was already standing there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

All around, the immortals were deathly silent.

Those complex gazes, filled with shock, mockery, schadenfreude, and even disbelief, all fell upon Guang Chengzi in an instant!

Guang Chengzi was the most favored disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable!

Its origins are so noble, and its Daoist heart is even more proud.

But today, on this Penglai Immortal Island where ten thousand immortals gather!
In this grand gathering of rogue cultivators, whom he originally regarded as ants!

Right before everyone's eyes, Ma Yuan forcibly snatched the treasure from their hands using a bizarre method that was unheard of and unseen before!
"You...you dare to steal my magic weapon!"

Guang Chengzi looked at Ma Yuan, feeling utterly humiliated.

He finally snapped out of his shock!

Those eyes, which were once filled with majesty and indifference, were now bloodshot.

It turned completely red, looking like it had gone mad!

He could no longer maintain the demeanor and composure of a disciple of a saint!

"boom--!!!!!"

A magnificent Jade Purity Immortal Light, far surpassing the previous one, suddenly erupted from his body!
Its surface shimmered with light, exuding a natural Daoist charm. A dazzling immortal robe, which had reached the level of a superior innate spiritual treasure, automatically protected its owner at this moment.

It is that supreme treasure of the Chan Sect, the Sweeping Cloud Robe!
At the same time, he suddenly made a hand seal in front of him!

A superior immortal sword, its entire body shrouded in endless sharpness, soared into the sky at this moment!

Its sword energy was so fierce that it tore apart the protective clouds above Penglai Immortal Island in an instant!
"Heretics! Die!"

Guang Chengzi was completely blinded by his boundless rage!
But before Ma Yuan could make a move...

A hearty laugh, brimming with boundless pride and exhilaration, suddenly exploded beside him!

"Hahaha! Guang Chengzi! You're just getting angry because you're not as skilled as me?!"

Zhao Gongming, who had been patiently waiting for a long time, had a fierce fighting spirit blazing in his tiger-like eyes!
He suddenly took a step forward, and the twenty-four-section dragon-tiger golden whip, which had been perfectly refined and polished, soared into the sky once again from the auspicious clouds above his head!

He took the initiative to meet Guang Chengzi, who was already in a state of madness!

"Guang Chengzi! Come! Let's have a proper fight right here!"

Rumble—!!!!!!!!!

In an instant, the sky above the entire Penglai Immortal Island darkened and the laws of nature shattered!
Guang Chengzi's immortal sword was adorned with a flowing, pure, celestial light.

Each sword strike seemed to invoke the order of the heavens, majestic and awe-inspiring!
Zhao Gongming's Dragon Tiger Golden Whip is even more domineering and unparalleled!

As he wielded his golden whip, the roars of dragons and tigers echoed, and the laws of metal and fire intertwined.

In the void, a towering dragon and tiger image, ten thousand feet tall, materialized and attacked together, using force to break the magic!

Both of them were top-tier experts who had already attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit. Their profound cultivation and mysterious supernatural powers made them outstanding among their peers!
Once they clashed, their power was so great that it caused the entire Penglai Immortal Island, which had already been placed under supreme restrictions by quasi-saints, to tremble violently!

However, with Ma Yuan and the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao standing by his side, Zhao Gongming was already full of fighting spirit and had no worries at all. His moves became more and more unrestrained and without any flaws!

On the other hand, Guang Chengzi was already furious and lost his composure because of the humiliation of having his magic weapon taken away!
Although his sword moves were still sharp, they had lost some of the composure and tranquility that the Jade Void Dao should have, and gained some of the violence and madness that he shouldn't have had!

One goes down and the other goes up.

Although Guang Chengzi was superior in cultivation, he was still a notch above Zhao Gongming, who had only recently entered the Great Luo realm.

However, in this direct confrontation, they were unexpectedly and gradually suppressed!
The supreme power contained in the Dragon-Tiger Golden Whip caused his immortal light to dim with each collision!
In just a few dozen rounds, they had already fallen into a disadvantageous position!
It was precisely during this fierce battle that the entire Penglai Immortal Island was shaken!
A sudden and unexpected event has occurred in the East China Sea!
boom--!!!!!!!!

It was in the deepest part of the East China Sea, which was already hundreds of millions of miles away from Penglai Island.

Three beams of brilliant divine light, reaching to the heavens and earth, and containing boundless chaotic energy, shot up from the deepest part of the sea without warning!

Its beam of light was so vast and its power so terrifying that it pierced through the vast clouds that stretched for hundreds of millions of miles in an instant, reaching straight to the heavens!

The endless chaotic energy, which had long since disappeared in the primordial world, poured out wildly from the source of the pillar of light!

At this moment, the ancient, vast, and even transcendent sounds of the Great Dao resounded throughout the entire world!

Whether it was the thousands of rogue cultivators who were already trembling with excitement, or Guang Chengzi and Zhao Gongming who were already fighting to the point of madness, or even the quasi-saintly powerhouse Canghai Ancestor who sat high on the central cloud platform.

After sensing this terrifying phenomenon that was enough to make even the Great Dao submit.

Their bodies all trembled violently in unison!
At this moment, everyone's gaze was unanimously turned towards the end of the East China Sea, where the winds and clouds had already changed dramatically!
All that could be seen were those three beams of chaotic divine light that pierced through heaven and earth.

The three ancient immortal islands, each with its own unique Daoist aura and an aura completely different from the laws of this primordial world, slowly manifested themselves from the endless void!
