Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

The few possible methods to gain merit and good fortune are all clumsy methods:

Firstly, after the Dragon-Han Great Calamity, not even one in ten thousand of the primordial beings survived, and their lineage was lost. If one were to spread the Dao to all the primordial beings and promote the primordial world to prosperity more quickly, one would surely gain merit and fortune.

However, he is neither a Primordial Golden Immortal nor a Primordial Grand Luo Immortal, so his scope of preaching is limited, the number of beings listening to his teachings is limited, and the merits and fortune he can obtain are naturally limited as well.

Secondly, the great war between the three races during the Dragon-Han Calamity affected the entire prehistoric world. Some places were tainted by resentment and evil energy, turning into desolate wastelands. Some mountains and rivers had their veins shattered, and the spiritual energy of the land and water was lost. If it is possible to restore and restore these places, one will surely gain merit.

However, because his cultivation level was limited, his cleansing speed was limited, and the merit and fortune he gained were also limited.

Thirdly, most of the ley lines in the western continent were destroyed by Rahu, and there may still be remnants of demonic energy and malevolent energy. In the northern continent, due to the rampage of ferocious beasts during the Great Calamity, most of the Daoist essence contained in the ley lines was devoured, and the remaining essence was also polluted. After the ferocious beast dynasty was destroyed, the massive amount of ferocious beast corpses and malevolent energy further polluted the north.

If either of these two places could be restored, it is estimated that any living being could ascend to heaven in one step, accumulating merit to attain sainthood.

Even if one attains sainthood, restoring these two places to their former glory will not be an easy task.

With his level of cultivation, the speed of restoration is limited, and the merit and fortune he can gain are naturally also limited.

……

Even with limited options, Yuan Yan intends to give it a try, especially in the Western continent.

In the original course of their destinies, Jieyin and Zhunti were able to attain sainthood because they possessed the destiny of the West and were burdened with the mission of reviving the West.

Although he was born in Buzhou Mountain, he felt that the primordial world was one, and that he could be a creature of the West, and could fight for the revival of the West.

He has fought for the revival of the West and considered himself a Western being. It's not unreasonable for him to be given a saintly position, is it?

Although they had decided to travel, Yuan Yan and the other three did not leave immediately. Instead, they each went deeper into refining their innate spiritual treasures to enhance their control over them.

Aside from the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, which Yuan Yan has already refined, the seven innate gourds were all nurtured by the original innate gourd vines. The connection between them was too close, so it was naturally easy for them to refine the innate divine restrictions of the innate gourds.

In less than a century, all four of them had refined and mastered the innate gourds in their hands to the limit that their current cultivation level could achieve.

After making some arrangements at the birthplace and taking most of the valuable items with them, Yuan Yan and the other three left the birthplace.

As soon as they stepped out of the area covered by the innate array, Yuan Yan and the other three felt a familiar and heavy pressure from Pangu, as well as a terrifying Daoist aura of power.

If an outsider were to come here, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would likely be greatly affected, losing most of their combat power.

However, because they were innate deities born on Buzhou Mountain, the pressure from Pangu was like a gentle breeze to them and had no effect.

Of course, if they want to experience the majesty of Pangu's pressure, they can do so by actively using their own Dao to resist it.

The four Yuan Yan exchanged glances, understanding each other's intentions. They all manifested their own Dao, actively drawing upon Pangu's pressure to resist it. While resisting Pangu's pressure, they comprehended the Dao of Power and its essence, using it to refine and perfect their own Dao.

The four then parted ways and began climbing Mount Buzhou from four different directions, hoping to reach the summit.

Of course, he also did not forget to use his divine sense to sense and collect opportunities and good fortune.

Because Mount Buzhou is filled with an incredibly dense pressure from Pangu, ordinary flowers, trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish cannot survive there, making Mount Buzhou appear extremely barren.

However, precisely because of this, anything that can survive on Buzhou Mountain is extraordinary.

Mount Buzhou truly deserves its reputation as the number one divine mountain in the primordial world. Formed from the spine of Pangu, it is filled with countless natural treasures and opportunities.

Yuan Yan climbed up and obtained countless rare and precious materials.

These rare and precious materials are mostly born from the interaction of laws or even the Great Dao, and contain more or less some laws or even the Great Dao. In terms of grade, they are at least at the Xuanxian level or above.

Although most of these rare and precious materials were useless to him, with very few exceptions, they were all useless to him.

However, considering the environment of the prehistoric world and adhering to the principle of not wasting resources, Yuan Yan still put away the rare and precious materials he encountered.

Of course, Yuan Yan didn't go to extremes. He preserved as much as possible, unlike some transmigrators in prehistoric novels who not only went to extremes but also plundered the land.

That's completely playing with one's own path. Taking away some spiritual herbs and roots is one thing, but destroying the spiritual energy and vitality of the land will bring endless karmic consequences, hindering cultivation and severing one's path.

However, to Yuan Yan's disappointment, after climbing Buzhou Mountain for tens of thousands of years, he did not know whether it was due to insufficient luck or other reasons.

He had not yet encountered any innate grand formations, and naturally had not yet obtained any innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots.

Hard work pays off!

Tens of thousands of years of climbing have finally yielded results!

Ten thousand years later, Yuan Yan stopped in front of a seemingly ordinary boulder. He flicked his finger, and a stream of light struck the void in front of him.

"Buzz!"

In an instant, ripples appeared in the void, and a primordial array manifested, blocking the stream of light that Yuan Yan casually unleashed.

"It really is a Primordial Grand Formation!"

A hint of joy flashed in Yuan Yan's eyes when he saw this innate grand formation.

The existence of innate grand formations is often accompanied by innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots.

Of course, it's possible he's a naturally born deity! But he probably won't be that unlucky!

The innate grand formation in front of us is of a high grade, and the treasures inside must also be extraordinary.

Yuan Yan carefully examined the innate grand formation for a while before preparing to break it.

There are only two ways to break a formation in the primordial world: one is to break the formation by force, using overwhelming power to forcibly break through the formation and take the treasure at the formation's core.

This method, though simple and crude, is very likely to damage the treasures in one's sights.

Moreover, innate grand formations are generally derived from the evolution of heaven and earth. Forcibly breaking the formation will definitely cause some damage to heaven and earth, resulting in karmic consequences. Although the consequences will not be severe, it is best to avoid them if possible.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, creatures in the primordial world generally do not use this method.

Secondly, one must study the formation, analyze its operational rules, and break through the formation by focusing on specific points.

Although this method takes longer, it allows one to comprehend and analyze the operational rules of the formation, thereby deepening one's understanding of the laws and principles of the universe. This method is commonly used by beings in the primordial world.

Yuan Yan threw out the Hunyuan Wandao Gourd, which casually conjured a simplified version of the Innate Yin Yang Great Evolution Array, to avoid being unexpectedly disturbed or attacked while he was fully focused on comprehending the array.

He then sat cross-legged, extended his divine sense, touched the innate grand formation, and began to comprehend the innate grand formation before him.
