Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 189 The Lotus Platform of Great Dao Merit, Thirty-Six Heaven-Opening Diagrams
As the pillar of primordial merit containing the supreme principles of creation descended from the endless void.

A profound and mysterious Daoist aura transformed into the purest sweet rain, sprinkling across the five directions of the world.

In an instant, all five worlds trembled violently!
The millions of fearful and uneasy beings within the world all felt this.

The mountains and rivers became even more majestic and imposing.

The rivers then became increasingly vast and surging.

The very essence of the entire outer world, nourished by the merits of the Great Dao, is growing at an unbelievable speed.

Countless ignorant beings who had just awakened their intelligence were transformed into innate Dao bodies in an instant under the cleansing power of this Great Dao.

Hundreds of millions of living beings also bathed in this blessing originating from the very source of the Great Dao. Bottlenecks were broken, and their cultivation advanced greatly!

In an instant, the entire five outer worlds were filled with a thriving and prosperous scene, with fortunes soaring!

The Eye of the East Sea lies within the Pure Land of Origin.

Ma Yuan slowly withdrew the Heavenly Dao will that had probed into the endless chaos.

He slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face.

He raised his right hand and made a gentle gesture in the air.

A wisp of chaotic color, seemingly containing the profound aura of the birth and death of countless worlds, quietly floated in his palm.

Great virtues!

This merit is completely different from the Heavenly Dao Xuanhuang merit known to all living beings in the primordial world.

Its atmosphere is more ancient and pure.

What it contains is not simply the power of suppression and protection.

Rather, it is a more fundamental and profound mystery, seemingly capable of creating all things and evolving all living beings!

With a slight thought, Ma Yuan drew out a wisp of the Heavenly Dao merit he had obtained in the primordial world from outside his primordial spirit.

Two strands of merit energy, each with a distinct color and aura, floated quietly in his palm, clearly separated.

Ma Yuan immersed his divine sense in it, carefully sensing the difference between the two.

He discovered that the merits of the Heavenly Dao contained the rewards of the Primordial Heavenly Dao for actions such as "protection," "education," and "perfection."

Its essence is a manifestation of order.

Within this wisp of Great Dao merit lies a more fundamental and pure mystery of "opening up" and "evolution"!

It is as if its very existence represents the supreme creation from nothing to something!

"As expected..."

Ma Yuan nodded slightly, understanding in his heart.

He had already deduced that the so-called Heavenly Dao Merits in this primordial world were merely the evolution and manifestation of the even more vast and magnificent Great Dao Merits in this primordial world.

The two are related as origin and branch.

Today's meeting confirms his prediction.

Ma Yuan knew in his heart that this communication with the Great Dao had been successfully completed.

In the future, as long as he can continuously create thirty-six outer worlds within this endless chaos.

And in it, living beings evolve and enlighten all living things.

Then the Great Dao merit, which surpasses the merit of the Heavenly Dao, will continuously converge upon him!

Once this thought came to mind, Ma Yuan did not hesitate for a moment.

He knew that although the great merit he had gained this time seemed immense.

However, even if the resources were equally distributed among the five directions and the middle thousand worlds to enhance the world's foundation, it would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

Rather than doing that, it's better to gather all the resources into one's own possession for future planning.

"combine!"

Ma Yuan let out a soft shout.

He held nothing back and immediately drew out all the Great Dao merit that had been poured into the Five Worlds!
Ninety percent of them were guided by his supreme magical power to be outside his primordial spirit.

Rumble——! ! !
In an instant, the majestic Xuanhuang Golden Wheel of Merit, which was formed from immeasurable Heavenly Dao merit and was suspended outside Ma Yuan's primordial spirit, trembled violently!

Under the cleansing influence of that more fundamental and pure Great Dao merit.

The brilliant, deep yellow color faded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It gradually evolved into a more ancient and profound chaotic color.

Finally, it was accompanied by a long, melodious Daoist chant that seemed to originate from the very source of the Great Dao.

A ring of celestial, chaotic color, containing the essence of the Dao, suddenly condensed and took shape outside Ma Yuan's primordial spirit.

The Great Way of Merit and Virtue: A Precious Wheel!

And it was at the very moment that the treasure wheel took shape.

hum!hum!hum!
The three golden lotus seeds that he had integrated into the treasure wheel, which he obtained from the Eight Treasures Merit Pool of the Western Sect, seemed to have received some kind of supreme nourishment from the origin of the Great Dao.

It quietly bloomed within that slowly rotating treasure wheel.

Three golden lotuses of merit, of different grades, swayed gently in the chaos, emitting a fragrance that could purify eternity!

Immediately afterward, before Ma Yuan could react...

The three golden lotuses of merit slowly approached each other in the void and eventually merged into one.

A supreme lotus platform, entirely of a chaotic color, with only three lotus leaves and three lotus petals, slowly coalesced and took shape in the center of the Wheel of Merit.

This lotus platform may appear small and exquisite, but it is imbued with the boundless merits and virtues of the Great Dao.

The lotus platform possessed a spirit; the instant it took shape, it transformed into a stream of light and silently landed on Ma Yuan's perfectly evolved primordial spirit, Qingyun.

The roots are directly embedded in Ma Yuan's primordial spirit, completely merging with it and becoming inseparable.

The Third Grade Great Dao Merit Chaos Lotus!
Ma Yuan was deeply moved. He could clearly sense that this lotus was only of the third grade.

It is far inferior to the legendary shattered thirty-six-petaled Chaos Green Lotus and the twelve-petaled Four Great Innate Lotus Platforms.

However, its foundation is formed from the Great Dao Merit that transcends everything!
In terms of grade and mystery, it probably far surpasses the scope of ordinary innate spiritual roots.

This lotus can not only constantly absorb and release endless chaotic energy, but also purify his Great Dao merits.

It can also suppress their inner demons and distracting thoughts.

May he maintain an absolutely clear and supreme state in his future spiritual practice.

Such effects are simply the ultimate auxiliary treasure that any seeker of the Dao would dream of!
"good."

Ma Yuan let out a soft sigh, and a genuine smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

With this lotus to suppress the primordial spirit, and the golden wheel of great merit protecting the body.

He believed that even if a sage were to personally arrive in the future, he would not be able to shake his resolve with any divine power.

The Great Dao Merit Wheel protects the primordial spirit, making it impervious to all laws.

The third-grade Chaos Lotus Platform suppresses the Dao heart, ensuring eternal clarity.

The gains from this communication with the Great Dao have far exceeded Ma Yuan's expectations.

However, he did not stop there. Ma Yuan's gaze then fell upon the last ounce of the Great Dao Merit that was still hovering in his palm.

This kind of achievement, though seemingly rare.

However, the profound mystery of its creation and evolution still reaches an unbelievable and terrifying level.

"This merit originates from creation and should be attributed to creation."

Ma Yuan understood.

He did not integrate this last bit of merit into the Great Dao Merit Wheel outside his primordial spirit.

Instead, he slowly raised his right hand and gently gestured in the air.

Buzz——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thirty-six supreme pearls, each containing a different aspect of the primordial world, quietly appeared before him, slowly rotating endlessly.

Thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls!

This treasure had been inextricably linked to him since he first entered the prehistoric world.

Moreover, it is the foundation upon which he was able to create the supreme Dao of the Outer World, which is "not bound by the Heavenly Dao, but forms its own realm," in this treacherous and unpredictable prehistoric world.

For him, this treasure was no longer just a protective charm.

Their importance is comparable to that of the Seven Treasures Tree to Zhunti, the Qingping Sword to Tongtian, and the Taiji Diagram to Taiqing.

It was the ultimate refuge of his spiritual attainment.

"go with!"

Ma Yuan let out a soft shout, no longer hesitating in the slightest.

He poured the last ounce of his immense Dao merit into the core of the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls!
His original intention was simply to use the merits of the Great Dao to nourish and soften the nascent, chaotic worlds of the thirty-six directions, adding some depth to them.

However, at the very moment that great merit and virtue surged in.

A sudden change occurred!

The thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which were originally a chaotic mass, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling divine light!
An extraordinary phenomenon containing the ultimate principles of creation and evolution slowly emerged within the core of each Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!

The chaotic aura of merit was slowly circulating at the core of the pearl.

There, a series of phantom images of creation maps, filled with an ancient and desolate atmosphere, were formed!

Thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, thirty-six maps depicting the creation of the world!

The magnificence of the scene and the grandeur of the Daoist aura were so overwhelming that even with Ma Yuan's current Great Luo Daoist cultivation, his mind was shaken and a huge wave of emotion surged forth!

He could clearly sense that these thirty-six creation maps were not illusions.

Rather, it is the supreme path of guidance that is manifested after the ultimate principles of creation and evolution contained within the merits of the Great Dao merge with the origin of the nascent forms of these thirty-six worlds!
Ma Yuan's divine sense was completely absorbed in it, carefully comprehending its meaning.

He discovered that the creation phenomena depicted in five of the scrolls appeared somewhat solid.

The Daoist principles flowing within it resonate with the Five Directions Middle Thousand Worlds created by Ma Yuan, and are indistinguishable from each other.

There is the orderly and divinely worshipped Ziying Opening Heaven Map!

There is the vast and boundless Qian Yuan Kai Tian Tu (a map depicting the creation of the heavens and earth) with ten thousand dragons emerging from the new!

There is the Yin-Yang creation diagram, where Yin and Yang rotate and all things return to one!

There is a wild and domineering scene, with ten thousand beasts galloping across the sky!

Even more so, there is the immortal radiance and the profound blessing of the Longevity and Creation Diagram!

The remaining thirty-one scrolls, however, remained a chaotic and indistinct mess.

Only a faint yet incredibly pure Daoist essence flowed slowly within it.

"I see……"

"This is my true path to enlightenment!"

Ma Yuan suddenly understood; he had finally realized the truth.

Just like that seven-jeweled tree, it is the manifestation of the great vow of the Sage Cundi to spread the Dharma in the West.

Just like the Qingping Sword, it was the manifestation of the Tongtian Sect Master's interception of a sliver of life.

These thirty-six mysterious and unfathomable creation maps are the supreme Chaos Dao, a smooth path to heaven personally guided by Ma Yuan, the Dao Lord of the Outer World.

A path sufficient for him to attain the supreme Dao of Hunyuan Wuji within the primordial world where sages have established their rule!
He needed to personally comprehend these thirty-six completely different creation diagrams.

With its own perfect and flawless Dao, it fills and perfects them one by one.

He seemed to see a world in that endless chaos, where the way of killing and conquest evolved from endless sword energy!
There is also a world where the infinite stars serve as a guide to evolve the cosmic order!
There is another world, where boundless incense offerings will be used to forge an eternal and immortal supreme divine kingdom!
Thirty-six worlds, thirty-six completely different ways of creation!
The grandeur of its path and the breadth of its prospects are in no way inferior to the paths of those six Primordial Saints!

"good!"

"Great!"

Ma Yuan let out a sound filled with boundless joy.

He knew that although he had now attained the Great Luo of the Outer Realm, his cultivation was unfathomable.

However, it is not something that can be accomplished overnight to fully evolve and perfect all thirty-one of the primordial phenomena that have not yet taken shape using one's own methods.

Ma Yuan also knew that although the Great Dao merit he had obtained this time was of extremely high quality, its quantity was ultimately limited.

This is far from enough to completely transform these thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls into the legendary Great Dao Merit Treasures.

Yet, he felt no more anxiety or unease.

The foundation is in place, and the path is clear.

He has found the supreme path that truly belongs to him, leading to the primordial chaos.

What remains is nothing more than a slow and steady process.

In the long river of time, they simply took one step at a time to develop and evolve all thirty-six different worlds.

With this thought in mind, Ma Yuan slowly withdrew his vast divine sense, which had been immersed in the Creation Scroll.

He knew that the gains he had made on this trip to the East China Sea far exceeded his expectations.

Whether it's the five already advanced Middle Thousand Worlds, or the Great Dao Merit Wheel that can suppress all ages.

Even the thirty-six creation maps that ultimately guided him on his path.

It would take him countless lifetimes to fully digest them.

Simply sitting here is pointless.

"It's time to come out of seclusion."

Ma Yuan slowly stood up from that eternally unchanged primordial pure land.

His eyes, which seemed to hold the very essence of life and death, calmly gazed upon the ever-changing, murderous land.

"The Lich Wars are about to begin."

"It is also the final opportunity for my Martial Ancestor incarnation to seek the supreme Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit among the human race."

"This is also an unparalleled opportunity for our non-Buddhist lineage to reap resources and strengthen ourselves during this great calamity."
