Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 35 Buzhou Mountain

The valley is quiet and secluded.

The spiritual energy mixed with the malevolent energy, forming a unique balance.

Ma Yuan found a natural stone cave, set up several concealment and defense restrictions, and then temporarily settled down on the outskirts of Buzhou Mountain.

He shrunk Ao Xuan's size and suppressed his aura to the extreme, and threw him directly into the small world of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

This place is the heartland of the Witch Clan, and a black dragon at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm would be far too conspicuous a target.

If some passing shaman were to mistake it for wild game and devour it, it would be a great loss.

After doing all this, Ma Yuancai finally had some free time to focus all his attention on observing this unfamiliar land and the legendary descendants of Pangu.

This was the first time in his two lifetimes that he had come into such close contact with the witch clan.

Just as the rumors say.

These beings, who claim to be the true descendants of Pangu, have a life origin that is completely different from that of most immortals and gods in the primordial world.

Ma Yuan could clearly sense that there was no fluctuation of magical power within their bodies, nor any primordial spirit imprint condensed in their sea of ​​consciousness.

All that remained was a blood and energy that was as vigorous as a furnace!
And that terrifying power lurking deep within the bloodline!
"Not cultivating the primordial spirit, but focusing on refining the physical body, proving the Dao through force..."

Ma Yuan sighed inwardly.

This method of cultivation is simple and direct, yet it points directly to the origin of the Great Dao.

They live in this Buzhou Mountain region, shrouded in the oppressive power of Pangu.

They complemented each other perfectly, like fish in water.

He saw a witch who looked no more than a teenager.

Its physical strength is already comparable to that of an ordinary earth immortal.

And those adult witches all possess terrifying physiques comparable to celestial immortals, or even mystical immortals!
They lived and multiplied in tribal form around the majestic Mount Buzhou.

Work at sunrise, and rest at sunset.

Hunting, cultivation, reproduction... their way of life is full of primal, wild energy.

Ma Yuan was not in a hurry to climb that sacred mountain to seek that elusive opportunity.

He knew that recklessly trespassing into the core territory of the Witch Clan was tantamount to courting death.

He simply settled down at the foot of the mountain and focused completely on his studies.

He did not deliberately cultivate, but completely released the suppression of his own Dao body.

He let the omnipresent pressure of Pangu, originating from Buzhou Mountain, crush him from all directions like a tidal wave!

"Om-!"

The moment the oppressive force descended upon him, Ma Yuan felt as if his physical body was being suppressed by an invisible divine mountain!
Every tiny particle of the physical body is enduring an indescribable and terrifying pressure!
Even an ordinary Golden Immortal would be overwhelmed by such unrestrained pressure.

I'm afraid that in no time, his foundation will be damaged, or even his physical body will collapse!
However, amidst this terrifying pressure, Ma Yuan felt an unprecedented sense of comfort!
Under the stimulation of this external pressure, the Three Talents Dao Foundation within his body actually began to solidify on its own!

The rich and powerful essence of the primordial Earth element seemed to have found its source.

He frantically absorbed the pressure originating from Pangu's spine, transforming it into the purest earth power, constantly strengthening his physical body!

The surging essence of primordial Gui water then transformed into the most resilient buffer.

It flows through his flesh and blood, constantly repairing the minute damage caused by stress, making his body full of resilience and vitality!
The intensely burning fire elemental power was like an inextinguishable furnace.

The last trace of impurities squeezed out by the pressure was completely burned away!
"Excellent! What a powerful pressure from Pangu!"

Ma Yuan was overjoyed!

He instantly understood that Mount Buzhou was an unparalleled natural treasure for his Three Talents Dao Body, which aimed for the harmony of the Five Elements! He immediately stopped hesitating and calmed down completely.

In the time that followed, Ma Yuan completely immersed himself in the tedious and painful process of body tempering.

He used heaven and earth as a furnace and the might of Pangu as a divine hammer!

He tempered his physical body again and again, tirelessly strengthening his foundation in Tao!
Day after day, year after year.

Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

When Ma Yuan slowly opened his eyes again from that deep state of meditation.

His already incredibly powerful Three Talents Dao Body has undergone a complete transformation!

His body still looked like that of an ordinary Taoist priest.

They did not become as robust and powerful as the Wu tribe.

But its interior is already indestructible!

Every inch of flesh and every bone radiated a faint tri-colored precious light, as if it were cast from innate divine gold and immortal divine jade!

The foundation of the Dao, constructed from the three fundamental forces of water, fire, and earth, was tempered under this extreme pressure, becoming increasingly solid and harmonious, without the slightest sense of stagnation.

"Now, with my physical strength alone, I am probably able to withstand an ordinary low-grade innate spiritual treasure."

Ma Yuan slowly clenched his fist, feeling the explosive power within his body.

My heart is filled with unprecedented confidence.

During these hundreds of years of adaptation and observation, he also discovered a secret of the witch clan.

He saw that a large number of young Wu tribe members, after reaching a bottleneck in their cultivation, would be taken by their elders to the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

They will be here, enduring the baptism of Pangu's might, in order to break through their own limits and take their physical strength to the next level!
This process is incredibly painful and dangerous.

Ma Yuan witnessed firsthand how a young member of the Wu tribe, unable to withstand the terrifying pressure, had his body collapse on the spot, turning into a pool of blood and mud.

But more often than not, it was amidst those painful roars that they successfully completed their transformation!

Their physique will become stronger and their blood and energy will become more vigorous, laying the most solid foundation for them to reach higher realms in the future!

"I see……"

Ma Yuan suddenly realized something.

"The unparalleled physique of the Wu Clan, which is unmatched in the primordial world, is not simply due to bloodline inheritance."

"This almost cruel method of body tempering, which begins from childhood, is probably one of the important reasons why they were able to dominate the prehistoric land."

Having figured this out, Ma Yuan couldn't help but think more highly of the Wu Clan, this seemingly simple-minded fighting race.

No race that can stand at the pinnacle of the primordial world is one that has achieved this by chance.

Behind it must lie cruelty and resilience unknown to outsiders.

"It's time for my brief period of spiritual practice to come to an end."

Ma Yuan slowly stood up and patted the dust off his clothes.

Centuries of adaptation and refinement have not only further enhanced his abilities.

This also gave him a deeper understanding of this territory of the witch clan.

He knew it was time to truly begin climbing Mount Buzhou.
