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

Chapter 45 Nuwa Breaks the Mirror, Humanity is Born

Within the Wu tribe, there is the Houtu tribe.

Ling Dan had stayed in the tribe for many years, focusing on cultivation, accumulating knowledge, and tempering her physical body.

Now, a vast expanse of Daoist principles and boundless energy surged into Ling Dan's body: "Break for me—"

In an instant, Ling Dan's physical body underwent a transformation, drawing upon the vast energy of the earth to integrate into and temper her body.

Not only that, but under the Xuanhuang Pagoda's influence, the numerous Xuanhuang energies that descended also flowed into Ling Dan's body.

This Xuanhuang Pagoda was naturally given by Laozi to protect Ling Dan, and it has always stayed by Ling Dan's side.

As the primordial and yellow energies merged, Ling Dan's physical body underwent a qualitative change, intertwining with the primordial and yellow energies, and becoming immortal and indestructible.

It devoured countless streams of primordial energy and earth energy, ultimately causing the Ling Dan to resonate and roar.

"Whoa—"

At that moment, sound waves rippled, spreading through the long river of time, stirring up a small part of the great river of life.

The aura emanating from Ling Dan's physical body was as if it shattered eternity and annihilated all the heavens.

With a wave of his hand, Ling Dan could cause the destruction of countless great worlds and create countless seas of boundaries.

At that moment, it seemed as if all the stars in the sky would become everything in Ling Dan's hands.

Especially within the physical body, the primordial energy spread, seemingly suppressing the Great Dao.

"Little Ling Dan—congratulations! After many years of cultivation, you have achieved the Xuanhuang Body. Compared to the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, your body-refining method has greater potential and a brighter future." Nuwa looked at Ling Dan with a smile, adding a touch of emotion.

Houtu, too, gazed at the changes in Ling Dan's physical body and exclaimed in admiration: "From me, you comprehended my body-refining method, 'Huangtian Houtu.' Yet you have reinterpreted it, creating the 'Xuanhuang Undying Scripture.' Using Xuanhuang Qi to temper and refine the physical body—truly extraordinary!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan smiled, quite satisfied with her physical body.

Speaking of which, ever since Ling Dan learned that the key to body refining methods is tempering the body with the Great Dao.

However, the incompleteness of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique results in a deficiency in the Great Dao of Power, so while the body tempering effect appears good, it is also very slow. Especially after cultivating to a certain level, one can only rely on energy to temper the body.

Therefore, Ling Dan abandoned the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and sought out Houtu's body-refining method, as well as drawing on the body-refining methods of the Witch Clan. Ultimately, he comprehended and deduced on his own, with guidance from Nuwa and Houtu.

Ultimately, he created the Body Refinement Method: the Mysterious Yellow Imperishable Scripture.

The "Mysterious Yellow Imperishable Scripture" is based on the method of refining the body with the earth. It is a method of melting the earth to solidify the physical body into an immortal form, allowing the physical body to transform into the primordial earth.

However, after comprehending the heavens and the stars, Ling Dan ultimately felt that if his physical body couldn't evolve towards the earth, it had to evolve towards the heavens. He would refine his physical body with the heavens and earth, transform the heavens and earth, and achieve immortality.

Therefore, the "Xuanhuang Immortal Scripture" can also be called the "Heaven and Earth Immortal Scripture".

Cultivating this body-refining method can transform the physical body into something akin to the primordial universe, eternally immortal. It is also like the universe itself, capable of fusing and reproducing all things in the primordial world.

Ling Dan's desire to propagate the world through his physical body was ultimately too arrogant. It was also difficult to achieve in a short time, so he had to settle for second best and transform into the Xuanhuang Imperishable.

Houtu said again, "Little Lingdan—you want to condense the primordial world and integrate it into your physical body, making your physical body become the primordial world, as if you want to develop into the physical body of the Father God. However, it is not that simple to fuse the world. Fortunately, the Xuanhuang Qi is a simplified form of the energy of the world, which will allow you to first condense the Xuanhuang Body, and then grow step by step and evolve into the world."

Ling Dan nodded in agreement: "That's true. However, I didn't know before that the Xuanhuang Qi is the Qi of Heaven and Earth."

"Heaven and Earth are black and yellow. Black represents the color of the sky, and yellow represents the color of the earth. Therefore, when the primordial world was born, heaven and earth gradually stabilized, and the colors of the earth and the sky scattered throughout the primordial world intertwined to form the black and yellow energy. Thus, the black and yellow energy also represents the energy of heaven and earth. However, this energy gradually dissipated with the passage of time in the primordial world. Now, the only way to obtain the black and yellow energy so easily is through the Black and Yellow Tower," Nuwa said.

Ling Dan nodded, clearly understanding the guidance Nuwa and Houtu had given her when they created the Body Refining Method.

Speaking of which, Ling Dan came up with the idea herself when she created the body-refining method.

With the help of Houtu, Nuwa, and many members of the Wu tribe, this method was perfected and finally created by combining the spirit of the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

The "Xuanhuang Immortal Scripture" involves absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth, along with the Xuanhuang Qi of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, transforming it into energy, integrating it into the physical body, and tempering the body.

It can be said that without the Xuanhuang Pagoda, the Lingdan body-refining method could not be cultivated.

Feeling the changes in his physical body, Ling Dan also fell into a state of enlightenment.

After his physical body transformed into Xuanhuang, Ling Dan felt that after regaining his original form, he also became a Xuanhuang divine pill.

It exudes a mysterious and profound aura, radiating an immortal elixir. The purity and vastness of its medicinal properties are absolutely terrifying.

Ling Dan sensed the changes within herself and gradually restrained herself.

At the same time, its aura remains in harmony with Houtu. After many evolutions, Lingdan no longer needs to be near Houtu to allow their auras to merge.

Therefore, within a certain range, their energies merge and continuously influence the reproduction of the witch clan.

In the blink of an eye, countless years have passed.

Ling Dan sensed the changes within herself, feeling the profound mysteries brought by the Xuanhuang Qi. She also felt herself growing increasingly powerful, absolutely capable of crushing her former self.

Of course, Ling Dan also felt that by integrating this method into his avatar, the avatar would also be filled with Xuanhuang Qi.

Anyway, with the Xuanhuang Pagoda, the Xuanhuang Qi hangs down endlessly.

Ling Dan continued her cultivation in this way, falling into complete silence.

Years later, however, a peculiar change appeared in the aura of creation emanating from Nuwa within the main hall.

Under that change, the aura that merged with Ling Dan gradually gave rise to a kind of creation.

That feeling was like being drawn to Ling Dan, undergoing a kind of transformation.

Ling Dan was startled awake by this transformation and turned to look at Nuwa.

Houtu was also changed by such creation.

In recent years, Ling Dan's aura merged with Hou Tu's, leading to the proliferation of the Wu Clan. Her aura also merged with Nuwa's, allowing her to comprehend the Great Dao and undergo a transformation.

The three elements blend together seamlessly, becoming inseparable.

Now, Nuwa has brought about changes, naturally awakening Lingdan and Houtu.

Nuwa's aura shifted, her entire body radiating a rich Daoist aura, with a faint purple mist rising from her: "Creation, creation—so that's how it is—"

""

Looking at the now-conscious Nuwa, and feeling the overwhelming aura of creation and the rich purple energy, Ling Dan couldn't help but wonder, "Sister Nuwa—what's wrong with you? The Dao of Creation within you... why do I feel..."

"That's a transformation? Ling Dan—I told you before that the profound mysteries of creation contained within you can guide my understanding of the Great Dao of Creation to a transformation. So for so many years, I've been holding you while comprehending the Great Dao of Creation, accumulating foundations, ultimately causing the Great Dao to transform, and also causing myself to transform. I can feel that this transformation will reach a new level." As she spoke, Nuwa murmured, the Daoist aura emanating from her entire body making her movements radiant with divine light.

"A new level? Could it be that the three corpses have been severed?" Ling Dan wondered.

"No—I severed my three corpses a long time ago. This transformation should allow me to step into the half-step Primordial Chaos realm," Nuwa said again.

"Half-step into the Primordial Chaos Realm?" Ling Dan was stunned.

After a short while, Houtu couldn't help but ask, "Nuwa—now that your Great Dao of Creation has transformed, and your origin has evolved along with it, does this mean you can create a race?"

"Yes. In a way, it's all thanks to Ling Dan. The fortune he contains has transformed my Great Dao of Creation. Once my origin has completely reached the half-step Primordial Chaos stage, I will be able to create a race based on the fortune contained in Ling Dan and Ling Dan himself."

"And this race, imbued with the blessings and aura of Ling Dan, I believe is absolutely compatible with the Witch Clan, becoming the race that the Witch Clan will reproduce. Furthermore, I have already decided on the name for this race: the Human Race!" Nuwa murmured, a smile playing on her lips.

"Is it one of Heaven, Earth, and Man? In this primordial world, after all living beings took human form, they all appeared in human form. And the Father God's appearance is also human. To create a human race, called the Human Race, that would be quite good." Houtu was also looking forward to it.

"That's right. In the primordial world, there has always been the Three Powers and the traditions of the Three Races. In the past, the three races were the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin. Among them, the Phoenix race led the birds and was known as the Heavenly Race. The Qilin led the beast race and was known as the Earthly Race. The Dragon race led the scaled race, which took on the form of humans and was known as the Human Race."

"Now, there are countless races in the primordial world, incredibly diverse. But there is no such thing as a human race. Then let us create a human race." Nuwa was also full of ambition, as if she was about to create a race.

Ling Dan stared blankly as Nuwa and Houtu exchanged words, unsure of what to say.

What's going on here? They imitated themselves, created a race, and called themselves the human race.

Wouldn't that make me the origin of the human race?

Ling Dan expressed her confusion, speechlessness, and embarrassment.

If humans were to actually be born and claim to be their ancestors, the thought alone is enough to send chills down my spine.

Ling Dan pondered for a moment, then looked at Nuwa and asked, "Sister Nuwa—approximately when did you create the human race?"

"Once the essence within me has completely transformed and become a half-step Primordial Chaos cultivator, I will search for suitable materials, and that will be the time when I create the human race." Nuwa looked at Ling Dan with a smile.

Houtu asked in confusion, "Nuwa—what materials did you need to create the human race?"

"As for the materials, I have almost finished preparing them. In order for the human race to be able to support the reproduction of the Wu race, the human race's structure must carry the aura of your Wu race. Therefore, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil is one of the best materials. After all, your Wu race is formed from the essence and blood of the Great God Pangu, while the Nine Heavens Breath Soil is the flesh and blood of the Great God Pangu, which was not completely transformed into the earth, and is a divine material formed from it. This divine material also contains the aura of the Great God Pangu. Therefore, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil is the most suitable for creating the human race's physical body."

"Furthermore, I will travel to the vast heavens to find Doumu Yuanjun and the Three Lights Divine Water. With the Three Lights Divine Water, I will merge it with the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to transform it into the soul of the human race. Then, using the Primordial Treasure, the Qiankun Cauldron, I will refine it, reversing the acquired and transforming the innate, to form the human race." Nuwa spoke thoughtfully, yet resolutely.

Ling Dan had fallen completely silent.

Nuwa's words meant that she was fully prepared to evolve the human race, and also meant that the human race was about to be born!
