Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 67 067 The Primordial Sea

Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun suddenly opened his eyes, his dazzling gaze piercing through the dimensional barrier, successfully locking onto the coordinates of the Demonic Primordial World, which was separated by countless dimensions, through the Primordial Purple Qi of the Human Dao in the Demonic Primordial World.

"open."

Hongjun stood up, formed a sword with his fingers, and shattered the dimensional barrier with a single strike, stepping into it.

Science fiction universe, endless immortal realm, three thousand Dao realms... Hongjun traversed one plane after another, witnessing all kinds of brilliant civilizations, and finally arrived at the plane where the Demonic Primordial World was located.

Hongjun did not dare to approach the Demonic Primordial World, but stopped in the endless chaos.

Here, he is no longer a representative of the Heavenly Dao, but simply a Primordial Golden Immortal. Facing the Demonic Primordial Saints, he will only face certain death.

Although he could be resurrected in the primordial world of immortals even if he died, once his essence was damaged, it would probably be difficult to recover in a short time.

If he were to suffer further injury at this critical juncture, the Immortal Realm would be in jeopardy, and many of his magical treasures would likely be forcibly left in this realm.

Hongjun came here not to explore the prehistoric world of demonic cultivation, nor did he intend to pay any attention to it.

He came to this world to find another Hongjun.

Only by devouring the origin of Hongjun in the Demonic Primordial World can he enter the Demonic Primordial World undetected, and Hongjun, who has transformed into an extraterrestrial demon, is his target.

However, having a goal is one thing, but whether you can find it depends on luck, just like how he couldn't find the extraterrestrial demon Rahu.

……

Cultivation knows no time; ten thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

After ten thousand years of refinement, Wei Guang finally refined all the Golden Lotus Seeds, Bodhi Seeds, and even the Golden Crow's essence, successfully reaching the late stage of the Great Luo realm.

He was still just one step away from becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal.

However, Wei Guang is now at the peak of the late stage of the Great Luo realm, not far from perfection. In at most ten thousand years, he will be able to step into the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

Yang Mei is seriously injured, and it will definitely take a long time for him to recover. Before the invasion of the Demonic Primordial World, he will definitely reach the realm of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

Wei Guang calculated that there were still more than 10,000 years until the Emperor was born. If he cultivated with all his might, he might be able to enter the Hunyuan Realm before the Emperor was born.

But Wei Guang didn't intend to do that. Compared to breaking through to a higher realm, he had more important things to do.

That was to refine the merit-based spiritual treasure he had been preparing for a long time.

He no longer lacks spiritual treasures, whether for offense or defense, but according to his plan, this treasure is related to his future path.

The path after becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal is the one that needs to be refined as early as possible, so it's more advantageous to refine it earlier. In comparison, breaking through to the next realm isn't as urgent.

Wei Guang took out the remnant bones of the Star Demon God, many materials containing the essence of stars, and the Qiankun Cauldron that Hongjun had lent him. Without much hesitation, he began to refine them.

It can only be said that it truly lives up to its reputation as the remains of the Star Demon God.

Even though Wei Guang had reached the late stage of the Great Luo realm and had the help of the Sun God Fire, it still took him a full three thousand years to completely refine it.

In comparison, other materials containing the essence of stars were much simpler, and they were all refined in just five hundred years.

Another thousand years passed, and Wei Guang began to invest merit and continue the refining process. As more and more merit was invested, the original materials gradually transformed into the source of merit.

The merit-based spiritual treasures refined using this method are fundamentally different from those formed from merit bestowed by Heaven.

The latter's merits only remain on the surface, while the former goes deep into the source, resulting in a completely different utilization rate of merits. In addition, the materials are better, so it has the opportunity to be included in the list of supreme treasures.

Although the merit gained from the Xuan Turtle Shell is plentiful, its utilization rate is low, and the material itself is of poor quality, so it is only considered a top-grade item.

It wasn't until Wei Guang had refined 90% of his merit into his origin that he began to solidify his form and inscribe the acquired restrictions. This process lasted for another three thousand years.

Three thousand years later, what were originally clumps of raw materials have transformed into a Daoist stele imbued with the aura of merit.

The treasure of merit was completed, but Wei Guang did not stop. Instead, he began to inscribe the complete Hongmeng Star Dao Scripture on the Dao Stele.

One can cultivate from a first-order mortal all the way to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, and the Quasi-Saint realm is also mentioned.

However, Quasi-Saints do not cultivate magical power, so it is only mentioned that whether or not one can enter the Quasi-Saint realm depends on individual comprehension. Wei Guang is merely pointing out the path for them.

As the last character was written, Wei Guang signed his name, "Hongmeng Xingchen Daozu," in the lower left corner of the Dao stele.

At this point, the crafting of this treasure is nearing completion.

Then, Wei Guang took out the Qiankun Cauldron, put the Dao Stele into it, and then put all the remaining merits into it, and then began to reverse the innate state.

The Qiankun Cauldron is not something you can use whenever you want.

To transform an acquired spiritual treasure into an innate spiritual treasure, one must accumulate merit; otherwise, innate spiritual treasures would not be so precious, and one could have as many as one desires.

Moreover, innate spiritual treasures refined using the Qiankun Cauldron have no distinction of grade.

Innate spiritual treasures are classified into lower, common, upper, and supreme grades, and even supreme treasures, but the innate spiritual treasures refined by the Qiankun Cauldron are only innate spiritual treasures.

The specific power depends on the materials and refining methods.

If the materials are good enough and the methods are sophisticated enough, its power might rival that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Conversely, it might not even be as good as the worst low-grade innate spiritual treasure, and it would be better to remain in the acquired category.

Eighty-one years later, Sanguang Island was bathed in rosy light, a natural phenomenon.

A colossal phantom of a Dao stele appeared above Sanguang Island, and in that instant, the name of the Hongmeng Star Dao Stele was imprinted in the minds of all living beings in the primordial world.

At this moment, everyone knew that another innate spiritual treasure had been born in the primordial world.

However, seeing that its birthplace was the Wei Guang Dojo, no one dared to go and steal it. At the same time, they couldn't help but complain in their hearts that Wei Guang's luck was a bit too abnormal.

He was already so wealthy, and now he has acquired an innate spiritual treasure.

Furthermore, its aura suggests it is not an ordinary innate spiritual treasure.

Wei Guang waved his hand and brought the Hongmeng Star Dao Stele to his front. The stele was nine zhang tall and three zhang wide, rectangular in shape, with a base at the bottom, and was milky white in color.

There are no scriptures on the stele, only six innate divine patterns that read "Hongmeng Star Dao Stele". Even Wei Guang's signature is nowhere to be found.

Wei Guang was not surprised by this, because that was his method. To obtain the Hongmeng Star Dao Stele, one must pass three tests: comprehension, character, and perseverance.

Wei Guang knew that the easier something was to obtain, the less likely it was to be cherished.

The more rigorous his trials, the fewer people will practice this path. Only after they become famous will more people want to practice this path, and only then will they be considered successful.

As for who they will pass the Hongmeng Star Scripture on to after obtaining it...

Those who pass all three tests would not likely pass the knowledge on to any heinous person. As for being blinded by mistake or being forced to reveal it, that was not within Wei Guang's consideration.

Even if it ultimately creates one evil being after another, Wei Guang doesn't care.

He is the Star Dao Ancestor, and no one can surpass him in this path. He is a Great Luo, while others can only reach the Taiyi level. He is a Quasi-Saint, while others can only reach the Great Luo level.

Do you want to attain enlightenment?

That will have to wait until Wei Guang reaches the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

All he wanted was for the heavens to know the name of the Primordial Star Dao Ancestor and to have the concept of the Primordial Star Dao. The more people who cultivated this path, the greater his benefit would be.

After refining the Star Dao Stele into his body, Wei Guang calculated that it would be less than ten thousand years before the Emperor was born.

Let's choose a plane to test the waters first.

Wei Guang's expression suddenly turned serious. He took the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler into his hand and slammed it down, forcefully breaking through the dimensional barrier.

He then darted into it.

In the endless darkness, there are no concepts of time, space, or anything else; there is only the endless primordial energy. It is the mother of all heavens and worlds, the origin of all things.

Even a supreme plane like Endless Chaos is merely a 'child' that He conceived over a long period of time, and the Great Dao is the manifestation of the rules of that plane.

As for the primordial world, it was merely a world created by beings in chaos, and could barely be considered its 'grandson'.

He is the beginning.

"In the beginning" does not refer to a person, event, or thing, but rather to the origin and source of all concepts and matter; it is a synonym.

The Primordial Sea, also known as the most ancient dark world, is where all concepts and matter originated.

Countless primordial 'offspring' are like stars, radiating brilliant light, and each 'offspring' is a plane, and that light is the barrier protecting that plane.

They are not fixed, but drift randomly with the primordial winds in the Primordial Sea, and no one knows where they will go in the next second.

Those primordial winds carried endless destructive intent.

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal like Wei Guang could only barely withstand the attack with the help of the Hongmeng Star Chart. Without the Star Chart, he would probably have instantly turned into nothingness.

Nevertheless, Wei Guang cannot stay here for too long, otherwise the Star Chart may not be able to withstand it.

Even if the Star Chart can withstand it, with his cultivation level, he might still get completely lost in the Primordial Sea because he is too far from the Primordial Plane.

Once lost, his fate is to choose any plane to temporarily reside in.

Time was running out, and Wei Guang dared not delay. He hurriedly summoned the Star Dao Stele. As he poured his magic power into it, the Star Dao Stele shone brightly with purple light, splitting into 365 million projections that broke through the barriers of each plane and entered them.

The next second, Wei Guang withdrew from the Primordial Sea and returned to the primordial world.

……

Three thousand realms.

This world is a plane formed by three thousand middle worlds surrounding one great world. There is a concept of immortals in this world, but it is completely different from the system of the primordial world.

In this plane, the Three Thousand Realms are the mortal world, and the Great Thousand Worlds are the immortal realm.

The highest level in the Immortal Realm is the Immortal Emperor, but compared to the Primordial World, he is only at the Golden Immortal level. There are no legends in this world about a realm higher than the Immortal Emperor.

On this day, three thousand rays of light surged into the three thousand realms, condensing into a massive Dao stele in the nine heavens above the center of each realm.

It glows with a purple light. Although it is not large, it can be clearly seen no matter where you are in the world. As long as you see it, you will enter a mysterious state.

This state is called "questioning the heart".

Just like when Lu Ya and others participated in the test of the Jie Sect, once they entered, they would spend a predetermined life in the illusion.

Those who pass the test will receive the Primordial Star Dao Scripture.
