Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 5 Twenty-Four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls

The stirring in my heart guided my direction.

He concealed all his presence.

Even the protective divine light was suppressed to its weakest level.

Like a fallen leaf, it drifted silently into that vast mountain range.

With your feet firmly on the ground, the surrounding scenery is nothing out of the ordinary.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, and vines and creepers cover the ground.

The concentration of spiritual energy was only average.

Compared to the many blessed lands he had seen along the way, it appeared extremely mediocre.

If it weren't for the increasingly intense sensation deep within his true spirit, Ma Yuan would almost have thought that something had gone wrong in his cultivation and that he was hallucinating.

He was not in a hurry to explore.

Instead, they first walked around the area where the sensation was strongest.

He scanned the area inch by inch with his divine sense, confirming that there were no traces of any powerful beings occupying the area or any protective formations.

Only after doing all this did he feel completely at ease.

Steady word.

Even with tremendous opportunities ahead, one must first ensure one's own safety.

He followed that mysterious pull.

We walked step by step into the heart of the mountains.

As he ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery began to subtly change.

Space seems to have undergone some inexplicable distortion here.

Just a moment ago, the ground beneath his feet was soft soil.

The next step he took landed on a smooth, mirror-like rock.

The reflections of the towering ancient trees beside me swayed slightly in the air.

Like a reflection in water, it presents an unreal and illusory feeling.

“It’s a shattered space…” Ma Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and his eyes instantly became extremely solemn.

He knew that this must have been an earth-shattering battle in ancient times, which shattered the spatial laws of this place, creating an independent area that was semi-isolated from the main space of the primordial world.

Such places often conceal great dangers, but may also... be accompanied by great opportunities!
He stopped walking and stopped looking at things with his naked eyes.

Instead, he closed his eyes and immersed himself in the understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect.

In his unique perspective, all things in the world are transformed into countless interwoven threads of cause and effect.

And not far ahead, there was a dense, unyielding "fruit" floating quietly.

The surrounding spatial lines appear broken and disordered.

That's the entrance.

Ma Yuan took a deep breath.

Without further hesitation, he stepped into the core of that distorted space.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

It was no longer mountains, forests, and vegetation, but a desolate void.

This is a broken space, surrounded by deep darkness on all sides.

There were no stars, no light.

There is not even a sense of the passage of time.

Only a few enormous spatial rifts stretched across the void.

And in the center of this shattered space.

Twenty-four points of warm, precious light were quietly suspended in the air.

The light was not dazzling, but a deep blue.

They maintain an elusive distance from each other, slowly rotating to form a perfect circle.

Wherever it passed, even the raging spatial turbulence calmed and stopped.

The moment Ma Yuan saw them, his entire being was shaken.

A vast amount of information suddenly flooded into his mind!

"Chaos...the beginning...the breaking...the evolution..."

Blessing to the soul!

At that moment, he instantly understood the true origin of the twenty-four precious pearls before him.

This is a magical artifact that evolved from the Chaos Pearl, a supreme treasure of chaos, after it was shattered during the Great Calamity of Creation.

The ultimate innate spiritual treasure—the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearls!
"The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl...it's actually the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl!"

Ma Yuan's heart was pounding.

An indescribable ecstasy swept over his entire being!

He had made countless assumptions. He guessed that his opportunity might be a valuable innate spiritual treasure, or a legacy from an ancient powerful being.

But he never expected this.

What awaited him was this top-tier innate spiritual treasure that would shine brightly in the great calamity of the later Investiture of the Gods, even attracting the attention of sages!

These are twenty-four complete sets of top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

When combined, their power is immense.

It ranks among the top of all the supreme innate spiritual treasures!

After a brief moment of distraction, an unprecedented glint flashed in Ma Yuan's eyes.

He immediately suppressed his overwhelming joy, and extreme calmness regained his composure.

Such priceless treasures must not be lost in any way!
Without the slightest hesitation, he swayed.

They crossed the void and arrived in front of the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

He stretched out his hand, and the Golden Immortal's magical power surged forth, attempting to directly capture it.

However, the moment his magic touched the divine pearl, a strange change occurred!
"Om-!"

Suddenly, the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls shone brightly, each pearl seemingly transforming into a boundless ocean. The terrifying weight of the twenty-four worlds crashed down upon Ma Yuan!

"puff!"

Ma Yuanru was struck by lightning, his body trembled violently, and he almost spat out a mouthful of golden immortal blood.

He felt as if he were carrying twenty-four ancient divine mountains on his back, and even his primordial spirit groaned under the terrifying pressure.

Top-grade innate spiritual treasures all possess their own spirituality and pride.

How could it be easily subdued by mere Golden Immortal magic?
"You think you can suppress me with brute force?"

A ruthless glint flashed in Ma Yuan's eyes.

He knew that ordinary methods were no longer effective.

The next moment, he withdrew all his magical power and instead focused all his attention on his faint yet supreme true meaning of the Great Dao of Cause and Effect!

"Everything has a cause, and everything has an effect! My meeting with you today is the cause, and your coming to me today is the effect!"

Ma Yuan uttered a low shout, and his massive, dark blue hand, imbued with the Daoist principles of cause and effect, silently emerged from behind his head.

This time, the giant hand did not attack the divine pearl, but slowly unfolded in the void.

A mysterious thread of cause and effect extended from Ma Yuan's true spirit, passing through the giant cyan-black hand, and gently rested on one of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

"Om..."

The divine pearl that was attached to the silk thread trembled violently, and the immense pressure emanating from it seemed to want to break the thread.

But the power of cause and effect is formless and intangible.

How could brute force possibly destroy it?

Ma Yuan gritted his teeth and firmly imprinted his primordial spirit along the thread of cause and effect towards the core of the divine pearl.

This process was extremely difficult.

His primordial spirit power was being consumed wildly, like a flood bursting its banks.

I do not know how long it has been.

It may be a moment, or it may be a century.

The fiercely resisting Sea-Stabilizing Pearl finally dimmed its light and emitted a soft hum, as if it had accepted its new master with whom it had established a causal relationship.

It worked!
Ma Yuan was overjoyed. Ignoring his exhaustion, he followed the same method, attaching the threads of cause and effect to the remaining twenty-three divine beads one by one.

One, two, three...

When the last Sea-Stabilizing Pearl also quieted down and accepted his primordial spirit imprint, Ma Yuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and almost fell from the void.

His magical power and spiritual power were almost completely drained, by 99%.

When he looked at the twenty-four gentle, azure beads that slowly rotated around him, radiating a warm and welcoming aura, all his weariness transformed into boundless satisfaction and joy.

He reached out and gently beckoned, and a divine pearl obediently fell into his palm.

It feels warm to the touch, yet it contains a terrifying power capable of crushing the eternal blue sky.

He thought of Zhao Gongming, the elder brother of the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao and the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, during the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods in later generations.

This was the man who, wielding these twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, rendered the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect utterly powerless, forcing them to flee in disarray.

Even the Daoist Ran Deng, who was of the same generation as the Three Pure Ones, was defeated and forced to flee in a sorry state.

If it weren't for the sneak attack by Ran Deng, Xiao Sheng, and Cao Bao using that strange Falling Treasure Coin, which stole the Divine Pearl...

The ferocity of this treasure will likely continue to shock the entire prehistoric world!
And now, this supreme treasure belongs to him!
"The Pure Crystal Bamboo, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl..."

Ma Yuan reflected on the gains he had made on this trip, and his heart was filled with emotion.

They arrived empty-handed and full of worry.

Upon returning, with the most precious treasure in hand, the foundation of one's path is solid.

This journey through the prehistoric world has truly been a fruitful one!
