Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 34 The Divine Light of the Three Powers (4K combined chapter)

Inside the quiet room.

Ma Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura becoming increasingly stable at the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

The Three Powers Dao Foundation, constructed from the three fundamental forces of water, fire, and earth, slowly circulated within his body, endlessly regenerating.

Each cycle strengthens his magical power and tempers his physical body.

"Completing the Earth element has brought me tremendous improvement."

"We're not far from reaching the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm..."

Ma Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his gaze showing no sign of anxiety.

He could clearly feel that his accumulated magical power had long surpassed the scope of a typical mid-stage Golden Immortal.

It is even more powerful than some late-stage Golden Immortal cultivators.

Once the opportunity arises, a breakthrough will be a natural outcome.

Although he has not yet broken through to the next realm, his foundation is now far more profound than before.

This incredibly solid foundation of the Three Realms ensures a smooth path to immortality for him, and has even allowed him to faintly touch the threshold to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!
What pleased him even more was...

In the process of consolidating this realm over the past few centuries and comprehending the cycle of the three realms.

He somehow managed to comprehend a completely new innate divine power on his own.

"The Divine Light of the Three Powers!"

With a thought, Ma Yuan slowly opened his palm.

On his palm, strands of pure, incomparably potent primordial energy began to gather.

The azure water represents the gentlest and most serene waterway.

The crimson flames symbolize the most powerful and intense path of fire.

The dark yellow earth light contains the supreme virtue and profound earth element of the Great Dao.

The three-colored light, within his palm, chased and merged with each other in a mysterious trajectory.

Ultimately, it transformed into a dazzling, yet profoundly simple, three-colored beam of light.

This is the new divine power he has just comprehended—the Three Powers Divine Light!
This supernatural power is a manifestation of his own Great Dao, and its uses are infinite.

With a thought, the Three Powers Divine Light can transform into an indestructible protective light barrier. The Three Powers cycle endlessly, enough to easily neutralize the supernatural powers and spells of other cultivators.

If used against an enemy, these three-colored beams can also be shot out.

The combination of water, fire, and earth forces can suppress opponents, erode their magical artifacts, and obliterate their primordial spirit, making it extremely domineering.

What's even more remarkable is that this divine light can also be used to cleanse one's own body, removing impurities and inner demons generated during cultivation, and maintaining the clarity and purity of one's Dao heart at all times.

This can be described as a truly supreme divine power that integrates offense and defense, and also has auxiliary capabilities!
His potential is so great that it is even comparable to his innate ability to cause and effect!
"With this supernatural power by my side, my ability to protect myself has become even stronger."

Ma Yuan nodded in satisfaction and slowly withdrew the Three Talents Divine Light from his palm.

However, while he was satisfied, his keen Dao mind also noticed a huge hidden danger in his current Dao foundation.

"Rootless duckweed..."

He frowned slightly and sighed softly in his heart.

The innate essence of Earth in his body was ultimately an external thing borrowed from Shi Ji.

It is pure, yet it has no origin.

However, the water and fire forces within his body are based on the "Return of Ten Thousand Waters to the Origin Technique" and the essence of evil fire, and can continuously generate themselves.

With the rise and fall of one element, the hard-won balance of the three elements becomes nothing more than a castle in the air.

It appears stable, but its foundation is actually weak and it could be broken again at any time.

"If I want this foundation of the Three Powers to be truly as stable as Mount Tai, I must find a true root for this Great Dao of Earth!"

Ma Yuan had a clear mind and his thoughts were crystal clear.

Looking at the entire primordial world, if we were to discuss what could serve as the root of the Earth Element Great Dao, then...

Without a doubt, it is the legendary supreme treasure, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, which is formed from the essence of the earth and contains the power of unparalleled creation!
This thing is the ultimate manifestation of the Earth Element Dao.

If one could obtain even a trace of it, one could refine it into one's body.

The innate essence of Earth within his body has a source, allowing it to be endlessly generated.

Only then will his foundation in the Three Realms be truly complete!
"The Nine Heavens Breath Soil...is in the hands of the Goddess Nuwa."

A glint of light flashed in Ma Yuan's eyes.

He knew that the day when Nuwa would use the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Three Lights Divine Water to create humans from clay, gain immeasurable merit, and finally attain sainthood was not far off.

The difficulty of obtaining such a treasure for enlightenment from a future saint who is about to become a saint is unimaginable.

"This matter cannot be forced; we must proceed slowly and patiently await the opportune moment."

Ma Yuan quickly suppressed his anxiety.

He knew that opportunities were something that could only be encountered by chance, not sought after.

Especially when it involves the karma of sages, one must be extremely cautious.

"Working in isolation has its limitations. It seems it's time to go out and travel again."

An idea suddenly came to mind.

His cultivation is now stable, his supernatural powers are fully developed, and the hidden dangers in his foundation will not erupt in the short term.

Instead of continuing to sit in the cave and cultivate in seclusion, it would be better to follow the example of the first time and take advantage of the Dao Ancestor's third sermon to travel through the prehistoric world once again.

Firstly, one can personally experience the subtle changes in atmosphere between the primordial world before the Lich Calamity, and gather more information for one's future planning.

Secondly, one can also comprehend one's own Dao while walking, and perhaps find an opportunity to break through to the late stage of Golden Immortal in the natural world.

Thirdly, one could try their luck.

Let's see if we can find any clues related to the Goddess Nuwa or the Nine Heavens Breath Soil near Mount Buzhou.

Once he made up his mind, Ma Yuan no longer hesitated.

He stood up, ending this long period of seclusion.

Ma Yuan once again carefully explained everything inside and outside the cave to Shi Ji, Hei Feng, and Cang Yun.

Shi Ji is now about to break through to the late stage of the Xuanxian realm. Her cultivation is stable enough to guard a region.

The two boys were also diligent, and their cultivation broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm.

And the causal array that he had already perfected to an impregnable state.

Even without him in charge, Skull Mountain is now capable of handling most crises.

He has no more worries.

"Master, please be extra careful on your journey." Shi Ji's cool eyes held a lingering concern.

"rest assured."

Ma Yuan smiled slightly and gently patted her shoulder. "In the present prehistoric world, there are not many people who can harm me. You only need to guard the cave well, cultivate diligently, and wait for my return."

After being reassured, Ma Yuan no longer hesitated.

He took a step forward, and his figure appeared in the sky above the mountain stream outside the cave.

"Ao Xuan!"

A calm call echoed into the deep pool of Skull Mountain.

"Roar--!"

The next moment, accompanied by a deep dragon roar that shook the mountains and fields, the entire deep pool exploded! A four-clawed black dragon, more than a thousand feet long, covered with dark scales and with prominent horns on its head, soared into the sky from the ten thousand feet of water!

Its enormous dragon body, as it circled in the air, caused the wind and clouds to change color, displaying a terrifying power.

It was Ao Xuan, the guardian beast that Ma Yuan had subdued!

After thousands of years of secluded cultivation, and with the treasures and elixirs bestowed upon him by Ma Yuan, Ao Xuan not only fully recovered from his injuries, but his cultivation also made further progress, and he was only a hair's breadth away from the Golden Immortal realm.

The arrogance that once filled its enormous dragon eyes has long since vanished, replaced by a deep sense of awe.

Ao Xuan respectfully lowered his enormous head before Ma Yuan.

Ma Yuan remained calm and took a step, standing firmly on the broad dragon head.

He stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a blue robe.

His robes fluttered in the strong wind, making him seem like an ancient immortal surveying the heavens and earth.

"Destination: Buzhou Mountain. Let's go."

"As you command, Master!"

Ao Xuan let out an even louder dragon roar, and with a sudden sway of his massive dragon body, he transformed into a black whirlwind, carrying Ma Yuan, tearing through the clouds, and speeding toward the very center of the prehistoric continent!

……

The ancient times have no record of years.

For ordinary people in later generations, several hundred years have passed, during which dynasties have changed and the world has transformed.

But for this vast and boundless world, it is but a fleeting moment.

Since leaving Skull Mountain, Ma Yuan has been driving Ao Xuan at a leisurely pace, heading towards the legendary Pangu Ridge.

He did not rush along the way.

He had witnessed ancient species fighting fiercely over a single innate spiritual root on a colossal mountain, causing the heavens and earth to collapse and the sun and moon to lose their light.

I have also passed through the endless swamp and witnessed hundreds of millions of aquatic demon cultivators worshipping an ancient water god whose name is unknown.

The vastness, danger, and ubiquitous opportunities of the primordial world gave him a deeper understanding of his own Daoist practices.

Most of the time, Ma Yuan sat cross-legged on the dragon's head, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was completely immersing his mind in the newly constructed Three Talents Dao Foundation.

He repeatedly pondered the profound mystery of the cycle of water, fire, and earth, using this long period of time to continuously solidify his foundation.

As for Ao Xuan, who was the mount, he gained a completely new understanding of the terror of his master.

Regardless of whether the outside world is filled with turbulent spiritual energy or soaring malevolent energy.

Its master has always been like an unmoving sacred mountain, sitting steadily on its head with his eyes closed in meditation.

Its entire body forms a perfect and flawless realm, impervious to all laws.

That calm and composed devotion to the Dao inspired a sense of reverence even in the proud dragon Ao Xuan.

And so, several hundred years passed quietly.

As that familiar yet increasingly vast and terrifying pressure slowly emanated from the distant horizon.

Ma Yuan finally slowly opened his eyes.

He knew about Buzhou Mountain and had arrived.

Even across billions of miles, that pillar formed from Pangu's spine remains the most striking presence in this world.

It just stood there quietly.

It connects to the primordial chaos above and governs the ancient land below, seemingly unchanged since time immemorial.

An ancient, desolate, and overwhelming pressure swept over us!

This oppressive force is not directed at any living being, but rather an absolute suppression originating from the very source of life!

It is the supreme mark left between heaven and earth by the great god Pangu, even after he transformed into all things!
Under this oppressive force, even a peak Xuanxian like Ao Xuan couldn't help but feel a slight sense of awe from the bottom of his heart.

Its flight speed subconsciously slowed down, and a series of tremors emanated from its dragon body.

The moment Ma Yuan sensed this oppressive force, the Three Talents Dao Foundation within his body spontaneously accelerated its operation!
The thick and powerful essence of primordial earth seemed to have been summoned, becoming incredibly active and easily offsetting much of the oppressive force of Pangu.

"Pangu's spine, the root of the earth... truly living up to its name."

Ma Yuan gazed at the sacred mountain and sighed softly in his heart.

Information about that great opportunity involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

“The innate gourd vine, the ten innate spiritual roots... and the Nine Heavens Breath Soil used to cultivate the gourd vine.”

Ma Yuan's gaze was deep, and his mind was clear.

He knew that, based on the timeline, the gourd vine should be close to fully ripe.

That Nine Heavens Breath Soil must also be there.

However, given the previous experience of failing to find the treasure coin in Wuyishan, we should learn from this lesson.

Ma Yuan's current state of mind is extremely peaceful.

"The concepts of fate and destiny are profound and mysterious. If I succeed on this journey, it is my fortune; if I fail, it is my fate. It cannot be forced."

He had a very positive mindset.

The main purpose of this trip remains travel and reflection.

Seeking opportunities is simply going with the flow.

As it gets closer and closer to the range of Buzhou Mountain.

Ma Yuan keenly noticed that the atmosphere around him was gradually changing drastically.

The originally violent innate spiritual energy in the air seemed to have thinned out a bit, and was replaced by an extremely dense blood energy and baleful energy!

And below, on the vast mountains and plains.

Gradually, some burly figures, exuding a sense of wildness and power, began to appear.

Some of them were in groups of three or five, working together to hunt a terrifying beast whose size was comparable to a mountain.

Some sit alone on the boulder, inhaling and exhaling the malevolent energy of heaven and earth, tempering their incomparably powerful physical bodies.

They do not cultivate their primordial spirit, nor do they respect heaven and earth.

With just a pair of iron fists, he dared to challenge the heavens!

Witch clan!

Ma Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that Buzhou Mountain was also the location of the Pangu Palace, and the main base and core territory of the entire Wu tribe!
I have already entered the territory of the Witch Clan!
"Conceal your aura and hide your form."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ma Yuan immediately gave the order to Ao Xuan beneath him.

Upon hearing this, Ao Xuan's thousand-foot-long dragon body twisted in the air and quickly shrank to a length of only a few feet.

It transformed into an inconspicuous little black snake, its dragon might and demonic aura completely concealed by Ma Yuan's great magic.

Ma Yuan himself also activated the Three Talents Dao Foundation, reducing his own aura to a minimum.

He found a secluded valley and landed quietly.

He did not rush to venture deep into Buzhou Mountain to search for the gourd vine.

Instead, they found a temporary cave dwelling on the outskirts.

He did not intend to climb Mount Buzhou immediately.

They planned to first observe what this other overlord of the primordial land was like.
