Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

The primordial wilderness, Kunlun.

The divine elixir was successfully refined, and a tribulation of lightning descended.

Ling Dan looked at the divine pill that would soon contain her three corpses.

After severing the corpse, integrate it into this elixir, and together with the elixir, undergo the tribulation of transformation. In this way, Ling Dan's three corpses can be tempered.

"Using the tribulation lightning to prepare for the birth of my three corpses isn't bad..."

Ling Dan sighed inwardly, suppressing her excitement. After accumulating countless years, she was finally able to sever her corpse.

It should be noted that Ling Dan had already condensed his Dao Fruit during the Three Lectures at Zixiao Temple. Afterwards, he accumulated foundational knowledge, comprehended the Great Dao, created the Yellow Court, and condensed his merits.

All the accumulated experience had long since caused Ling Dan to reach a bottleneck, a bottleneck that slowed down her progress.

Under the bottleneck, it is impossible to rely on accumulation to move from Dao Fruit to Hunyuan; the only way is to sever the Three Corpses.

After a moment's thought, Ling Dan fell into silence.

At this moment, Ling Dan calmed his mind, pondering the method of severing the three corpses, and what to sever: "Severing the three corpses means cutting off the thoughts that affect one's own path, transforming oneself into a pure heart, a childlike heart. I have many thoughts, which can be roughly divided into three types. First, thoughts from the past life. Second, thoughts from this life. Third, thoughts from the future."

"Of the three thoughts, the thought of my past life has the greatest influence on me, enabling me to create countless supernatural powers and wonderful methods, much like my obsession. The thought of my present life includes the care and cultivation of my master, uncles, and grandmasters, influencing everything about me, much like my good intentions. The thought of the future involves the unknown and dangers, which terrifies and frightens me, much like my evil intentions."

"Now, I will sever my past life, sever this life, sever the future, and transform into the purest version of myself. That purest version of myself is my true self. And the first thing I must sever is my evil thoughts... my future ideas, sever them..."

Within his primordial spirit, Ling Dan's wisdom ignited, transforming into a realm of wisdom. This ethereal wisdom, manifested as a divine sword, seemed capable of severing all of Ling Dan's thoughts.

The divine sword slashed towards Ling Dan's primordial spirit: "Buzz..."

The sword severed the primordial spirit and the mind, ultimately causing a sense of panic to separate from Ling Dan's primordial spirit.

That feeling of panic seeped into the pill before him.

At that moment, the primordial spirit of Ling Dan, fused with the elixir, emitted an aura of malevolence. Then, accompanied by a buzzing sound and Daoist rhythm, it rushed towards the location of the lightning tribulation.

There was no other way; Ling Dan used the pill to transform into three corpses, but the pill itself would eventually have to undergo tribulation.

Under the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation, the divine pill that carried Ling Dan's evil intentions is now resisting countless lightning tribulations.

The lightning spread and roared towards Ling Dan, terrifying beyond measure.

"boom……"

The lightning tribulation descended and fell into the pill, causing it to faintly exhibit a kind of tempering.

After so many years, Ling Dan experienced the feeling of undergoing tribulation once again.

The raging thunder caused the elixir to gradually evolve, spread, and draw upon the long river of the Great Dao.

Within the long river of the Great Dao, where the Ling Dan Dao Fruit roamed, it gradually separated as its future incarnation emerged. Originally the size of a fist, the Dao Fruit now split, gradually intertwining with the future incarnation, presenting a transformation.

Such a change in the Dao fruit was also expected.

Severing the Three Corpses not only severs the mind, but also the Dao Fruit. The Three Corpses then bear the Dao Fruit, cultivating alongside it, thus strengthening the Dao Fruit.

When I break through to the Primordial Chaos stage in the future, the Three Corpses Dao Fruits will merge with my own Dao Fruits, and I will rush into the middle reaches of the Great Dao River in one fell swoop.

Lao Tzu and his followers did the same; when they severed their three corpses, they were also severing their Dao fruit.

The Dao fruits of Laozi and his followers, though seemingly unified, are actually distinct. The day when the three corpses unite will be the day the Dao fruits merge.

Now, a small portion of Ling Dan Dao Fruit will also be severed and integrated into his future incarnation.

The act of severing the Dao Fruit also alerted the Three Pure Ones who were cultivating.

Swish!

Laozi instantly regained consciousness and arrived at Ling Dan's secluded cultivation place. Looking at the future incarnation undergoing tribulation and Ling Dan in seclusion, his eyes flashed with caution and vigilance, fearing that someone might disturb Ling Dan.

Yuanshi Tianzun followed closely behind: "Brother... Ling Dan has actually severed his corpse. Our Xuanmen's third-generation disciple has grown to this level."

"Haha... I thought that Ling Dan would need to accumulate several Yuanhui before she could sever her corpse. I didn't expect that Ling Dan would find her good thoughts, obsessions, and evil thoughts so quickly." Tongtian laughed, expressing his surprise at Ling Dan's severing of her corpse.

"Ling Dan's speed in severing corpses is indeed extremely fast. However, this child is cautious in his pursuit of stability. Severing corpses at this time is far too risky." Laozi was also troubled.

"Don't worry, brother... With our Dao Fruits protecting us in the Great Dao River, Ling Dan will definitely not be affected." Tongtian was confident.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable did the same, still taking out the Pangu Banner to protect the Great Dao River.

Ling Dan, who had severed his corpse, was completely unaware of this change.

Ling Dan, now, has divided the Dao Fruit and integrated it into his avatar.

As the division occurred, Ling Dan also sensed something was amiss, feeling that many changes were emerging in the Great Dao River today.

Suddenly, towering waves surged within the Great Dao River, sweeping away countless Dao Fruits.

Ling Dan sensed the power of the Dao Fruit and his eyes widened: "This, this..."

"Disciple, concentrate on severing your corpse. I will stop the waves of the Great Dao River for you," Laozi said earnestly.

Yuanshi Tianzun also transmitted his voice: "Don't worry about severing your corpse. Your uncle will protect you, there won't be any problems."

Tongtian also laughed and said, "Ling Dan... you child, you seek stability. Why didn't you choose a suitable time when you were about to sever your corpse? Don't worry about severing your corpse, your uncle will protect you."

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan felt relieved enough to dismember the corpse, but she was still somewhat embarrassed.

What is all this? How can severing the three corpses cause ripples when encountering the Great Dao River?

In fact, the simplified method of severing the three corpses does not involve severing the Dao Fruit.

The complete version of "Severing the Three Corpses" involves "Severing the Dao Fruit".

When severing a Dao Fruit, if Dao Fruit cultivators start a war against Dao Fruit cultivators, causing ripples in the Great Dao River, it might damage the Dao Fruit and lead to failure in severing the corpse.

Ling Dan never expected that her pursuit of stability would lead to a battle of Dao Fruits when she severed her corpse.

Ling Dan was also frustrated and could only focus on dismembering the corpse.

In the silence of the corpse-slaying, it is difficult to perceive the passage of time.

When Ling Dan regained consciousness, the Dao Fruit split, and a Dao Fruit the size of a thumb flew out and merged into her future avatar.

At that moment, the future incarnation undergoing tribulation was filled with Daoist charm, condensing a Daoist aura that intertwined with the long river of the Dao.

"Roar..." The future avatar roared, stirring up the waters of a long river, shaking the ages: "Creation God Fist..."

With a single punch, the aura shifts, evolving across the heavens and condensing into the vast universe.

With a deafening roar, the vast heavens surged into the sky along with the force of the fist.

The celestial tribulation also shattered, and the endless lightning dissipated, falling into the ages of the heavens.

At the same time, the lightning tribulation dissipated, and the divine light of creation enveloped the future incarnation.

At that moment, the embodiment of the future gradually solidified, as if transforming from illusion into reality.

Previously, the future incarnations, relying on Daoist principles and Daoist fruits, were condensed into incarnations that lacked authenticity.

But now, after passing through the tribulation of transformation, it has become real.

As the future avatar emerges, Ling Dan, who is currently in seclusion, exudes a profound aura.

The feeling was as if Ling Dan hadn't improved much, but rather had weakened somewhat. After all, severing the Dao Fruit, the primordial spirit, and the physical body... it was normal for his cultivation level to decline.

However, the feeling of being bound that Ling Dan once had disappeared.

Before he severed his corpse, Ling Dan seemed to have reached his limit. No matter how much he comprehended the Great Dao or how much he accumulated his foundation, he seemed to have reached a limit and could no longer improve.

But now, after slaying the corpse, I realize that although I seem to have weakened, I can still improve.

If the upper limit was visible before, now it has increased.

"This feeling is so strange. Could this be the true essence of severing corpses?" Ling Dan sensed the changes within herself and pondered these transformations.

Puzzled, he couldn't help but look at his father, who was looking at him with a relieved expression: "Master... I thought that after severing my corpse, I would suffer a severe injury and my cultivation would be damaged. Who knew that my cultivation would not decrease much, but instead, after being repaired, I would become even stronger."

Lao Tzu's eyes held a look of satisfaction mixed with wisdom: "Disciple... the method of severing the three corpses is a core technique of our Xuanmen sect, naturally containing many profound mysteries. After severing the corpses, our own cultivation will be slightly damaged. However, this damage will not harm our origin, but rather give us an opportunity to 'build anew after destruction'."

"To break through and then rise again? No wonder I feel that after recovering from my injuries, I will be able to make further progress. The previous bottleneck will also be gone," Ling Dan said.

A short while later, Ling Dan also concealed her aura and put away her future avatar.

This incarnation is Ling Dan's evil corpse, and also her future incarnation.

After Ling Dan retracted her avatar, she asked in confusion, "Master... why did a great battle of Dao conflict suddenly erupt in the River of Dao when I severed my corpse?"

"What could it be? The Demon Court and many other powerful clans have a natural conflict, and they often fight and clash with each other. Especially with the spread of the Yellow Court Scripture that we created, and the circulation of the human-grade pills that you created, this great war has become more and more frequent, evolving into a struggle for the Dao." Tongtian said, clearly understanding the situation.

Ling Dan also said solemnly, "Master, Uncle-Master... so in a way, the current war in the primordial world was started by us?"

"You could say that. However, the Demon Court and many other powerful clans already have conflicts. We are merely accelerating the evolution of this conflict," Laozi said, stroking his beard as if he were quite relaxed.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable coldly replied, "The vast primordial world is divided up by so many powerful clans. It's actually a good thing that they're fighting among themselves."

Seeing this, Ling Dan could only remain silent.

"Alright... No matter how chaotic the outside world is, it won't affect Kunlun. From now on, just stay in Kunlun to cultivate and don't go to the outside world easily, and you'll be safe," Laozi advised.

Ling Dan nodded, naturally knowing these things, which was why she wouldn't go out recklessly.

The outside world is in complete chaos right now.

Running away would be suicide.

Outside of Kunlun, the Demon Court and many powerful clans were engaged in war. Under such circumstances, how could Ling Dan possibly escape?

Why doesn't Ling Dan stay obediently in Kunlun and be a homebody?

Ling Dan summoned her future avatar back and then went into seclusion to cultivate.
