Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

However, upon closer inspection, Yuan Yan suddenly discovered a faint, unique Daoist aura there.

If he hadn't sensed something amiss in his Dao heart as he passed by, and stopped to observe carefully, he probably would have ignored it.

After all, those faint Daoist charms were almost imperceptible, extremely faint, and only a Great Luo Golden Immortal could detect them. He was descending the mountain quickly and did not bother to investigate them carefully.

Moreover, the presence of a unique Daoist aura on Mount Buzhou, distinct from its surroundings, is not uncommon and does not necessarily indicate any special opportunities or good fortune.

Because many powerful beings have come to Buzhou Mountain in the past to search for treasures, stay and cultivate temporarily, and even fight each other, they generally do not erase the Daoist essence they left behind.

Although the Great Dao of Pangu's power is supreme at Mount Buzhou, any Daoist charm will be worn down and absorbed by the Great Dao of Pangu's power, becoming increasingly faint until it completely dissipates.

However, the stronger the Daoist aura left behind by a powerful individual, the longer it can last. There are many similar Daoist auras on Mount Buzhou that have not yet completely dissipated.

"How could this faint Daoist aura trigger my Daoist heart's response?" Yuan Yan wondered.

With doubts in his heart, Yuan Yan carefully sensed for a while longer, trying to detect the faint Daoist aura.

Before long, Yuan Yan understood why these traces of Daoist charm had triggered a connection in his Daoist heart.

Because this is the purest innate Lesser Yin and Lesser Yang Daoist essence, closely related to the Dao of Yin and Yang, it will naturally arouse his instinctive reaction to the Dao of Yin and Yang.

"It's normal for Buzhou Mountain to have traces of innate Yin and Yang Daoist charm, but since it has triggered a reaction in my Daoist heart, I'll test it out. Perhaps there are innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots here!" Yuan Yan thought to himself.

If so, that would be the best!

If not, he wouldn't be short of time and wouldn't regret it.

Yuan Yan pointed his right hand forward with two fingers, and a ray of Yin-Yang divine light burst forth, multiplying into billions, like a gentle drizzle covering a large area.

"Buzz!" In an instant, an array barrier covering hundreds of millions of miles spread out like ripples on water, blocking the billions of strands of Yin-Yang divine light.

No, that's not right, it should be called resolving!

"A Primordial Grand Array?" Yuan Yan's pupils shrank. "Is there really a Primordial Spiritual Treasure or Primordial Spiritual Root here?"

"Hiss! This innate grand formation is extremely profound, seemingly no less than the protective formation of my birthplace, and even more profound than the protective formation of the Yin-Yang Grotto Heaven."

"Could the treasure nurtured here be on par with the Primordial Gourd Vine?"

Thinking of this, Yuan Yan could no longer suppress his excitement.

He quickly went to a spot not far from the Innate Grand Array, casually set up an array to conceal the strange phenomena while protecting himself, and then sat cross-legged to begin to comprehend the operating rules of the Innate Grand Array.

At this moment, inside the innate grand formation!

"Buzz!" A buzzing sound rang out, and the innate array activated in response, startling the two figures who were immersed in enlightenment.

"What's going on?" Fuxi frowned slightly.

However, after a quick calculation, Fuxi understood that someone was attacking the protective array of their birthplace, and the array was manifesting its defenses in response.

"Brother, our birthplace has been discovered by a Great Immortal!" Nuwa said.

Through her divine sense, she saw Yuan Yan outside the innate array, intending to comprehend their protective array.

She could clearly sense the immortal and indestructible Yin-Yang Dao aura emanating from Yuan Yan, and naturally knew that Yuan Yan was at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"Yes! That's a Great Luo Golden Immortal! But Nuwa, don't worry, we'll be fine!" Fuxi said confidently.

"When did I worry?" Nuwa glanced at Fuxi speechlessly.

Although they have only recently taken human form and have not yet attained enlightenment or broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they are still at the perfect Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

However, their birthplace is protected by a primordial array, so even a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of their cultivation might not be able to do anything to them.

Not to mention, they are top-tier innate saints, possessing great fortune, and as long as they don't court death, they generally won't perish easily.

Because as long as they do not have great karma, and as long as they did not actively provoke and create an intractable karmic connection, the beings that kill them will inevitably suffer a backlash of fortune and be burdened with karma.

Although those with abundant merit and good fortune can withstand the backlash, their merit and good fortune will still be diminished, greatly affecting their own cultivation.

Killing them would be completely self-defeating and harmful to others. Unless it is an irreconcilable mortal feud or a sworn enemy, no one would kill them casually.

Furthermore, she not only doesn't sense the danger of falling, but also has a slight feeling of opportunity, as if an opportunity has been delivered to her door.

If that's the case, the powerful figure outside must have stumbled upon the innate grand formation by chance, and thinking there were some treasures inside, he began to try to break it.

Once they become aware of their existence, they should not only refrain from harming them, but also give them a chance to understand the cause and effect of this situation.

While Nuwa and Fuxi were observing the outside situation through the innate array and bickering, Yuan Yan frowned slightly.

He had a feeling of being watched, and he could clearly sense that the feeling of being watched came from inside the innate grand formation.

What does this mean?

This means that the innate array in front of us is not protecting innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots, but innate deities, and not just ordinary innate deities, but most likely top-tier innate deities.

This means that not only did he lose the top-grade innate spiritual treasure or innate spiritual root he had been hoping for, but he also formed a karmic bond with a top-tier innate deity. This was incredibly unlucky.

"So be it! So be it! If I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate!" Yuan Yan's expression changed inexplicably, and finally he let out a soft sigh.

Although I cannot obtain a top-grade innate spiritual treasure or a top-grade innate spiritual root, I have formed a karmic connection with a top-tier innate deity.

But that doesn't matter. This cause and effect can be easily resolved by simply talking it out. As long as the top innate saint inside isn't stupid, he won't hold a grudge against him over such a trivial matter.

Once the cause and effect are resolved and things are cleared up, we might even be able to befriend them and discuss philosophy with them in the future. In that case, it wouldn't be a complete loss.

With this thought in mind, Yuan Yan called out loudly, "I am Yuan Yan. I have mistakenly entered your esteemed place. Please forgive me, fellow Daoists inside. I wonder if any of you dare to meet me?"

"What is there to be afraid of?" A gentle and refined voice rang out, and the innate grand formation opened on its own, revealing a passage. A man and a woman approached and stopped just before stepping out of the area covered by the innate grand formation.

They were respectively imbued with the essence of the innate Shaoyang and Shaoyin energies. Although they had not yet comprehended their own path and broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they already possessed extraordinary auras.

"Nuwa/Fuxi greets fellow Daoist!"

"Nuwa? Fuxi? It's actually them?" Yuan Yan was shocked.

However, Yuan Yan was, after all, a Great Luo Golden Immortal who had cultivated for over a hundred eons, and his temperament was extraordinary. Although he was surprised in his heart, he did not show it on his face.

Moreover, Yuan Yan was only surprised for a moment before his mind returned to calm.
