Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

So what about Nuwa and Fuxi?

They are top-tier innate deities, and so is he. Moreover, he has three independent Dao bodies, also originating from top-tier innate deities.

Their cultivation level was only at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, while his true body had already broken through to the middle stage of Daluo Golden Immortal, and his three Dao bodies were all at the early stage of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Given his current situation, coupled with his advantage of foresight, he may very well attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos in the future, or even become a saint, and may not be inferior to Nuwa.

Of course, although he believed he would be no less capable than Nuwa in the future, Yuan Yan did not act arrogantly because of his Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation.

He knew in his heart that although his cultivation level was far ahead of theirs at the moment, after another thousand, several thousand or even tens of thousands of eons, their cultivation time would be not much different. His advantage of being born and cultivating for hundreds of eons earlier than them would not be much at all.

Even if his cultivation level were still ahead of theirs, it would be impossible to maintain the current gap.

Moreover, no one can predict what the future holds. If he were to attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos or become a Saint in the future, he would not be able to be an enemy of all Saints and would need allies. Nuwa would definitely be the best candidate.

After all, the only people who could make him, who had attained sainthood or the Great Luo of Hunyuan, seek an alliance with were the Three Pure Ones. And excluding the Three Pure Ones, the only people who could form an alliance with him were Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti.

Although he admired the efforts and sacrifices made by Duyin and Zhunti in their efforts to revive the West, he had no desire to be their ally, otherwise he would never know when he would be betrayed.

Thinking to himself, Yuan Yan didn't act impolitely, and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "Yuan Yan greets you two fellow Daoists. Please forgive any inconvenience caused!"

"It's alright, we won't disturb you! Fellow Daoist, would you dare to come inside with us for a chat?" Nuwa asked with a half-smile.

"What is there to be afraid of?" Yuan Yan replied calmly.

Nuwa and Fuxi knew he was a Great Immortal, yet they dared to open the Primordial Formation and confront him directly. Did they not dare to enter the Primordial Formation?

Of course, the reason Yuan Yan dared to enter was largely due to his absolute confidence in himself.

Indeed, under the control of Nuwa and Fuxi, the protective array of their birthplace could withstand even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivator at the peak of their cultivation.

If trapped inside, even a late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivator could be in mortal danger.

However, their cultivation level was too low, only at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. He was confident that he could severely injure or even kill them before they could make a move.

Even if he fails, with the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and his physical body and primordial spirit, which are close to the strength of a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, he will be able to protect himself.

If he finds the right opportunity and detonates one or two low-grade innate spiritual treasures, he can easily break free from the predicament, or even break the innate grand formation.

With enough confidence, he naturally had nothing to fear!

"Very well! In that case, please come in, fellow Daoist. We will certainly treat you well!" Nuwa smiled charmingly, stepped forward, and walked out of the Primordial Grand Formation before Fuxi, leading Yuan Yan into the Primordial Grand Formation.

Within the innate grand formation lies a vast pure land, where all sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs grow. The innate spiritual energy is so dense it's almost liquefied, and the Daoist charm is vibrant and profound, truly a rare and top-tier blessed land.

However, in the center of this pure land, apart from two meditation cushions made of calming grass, there was nothing else, which was quite simple.

It cannot compare to his birthplace, which is dotted with numerous palaces, pavilions, and terraces, with golden tiles and glazed tiles shining in the sun, jade steps and balustrades stretching endlessly, dragons and phoenixes coiling on carved beams, and towering palaces that pierce the clouds. Covered walkways and corridors are interconnected, rainbow bridges span the sky, colorful clouds are transformed into steps, and celestial mist flows between the buildings, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing, just like a heavenly palace.

Yes, that was indeed built by him based on the Heavenly Palace in his memory.

However, because his cultivation level was only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal at that time, he did not have much time to comprehend the Dao of Weapons and the Dao of Arrays. Most of those were just for show, and they could not be connected to form a vast array to gather and condense innate spiritual energy and Daoist inspiration.

At this moment, Nuwa and Fuxi followed Yuan Yan's gaze to the two prayer mats, and were not only slightly embarrassed, but Nuwa was especially so.

She said she wanted to treat Yuan Yan well, but that would be far too simple and a slap in the face to her.

In an instant, Nuwa returned to normal. As long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who were embarrassed.

Of course, one should still show sufficient respect when facing a Great Immortal.

Nuwa raised her hand and gently moved it, picking some flowers and herbs from among many exotic plants, instantly weaving them into a meditation cushion.

Although it was of little use to the Great Luo Golden Immortals, Nuwa had already used the best materials.

Immediately afterwards, she raised her hand and gathered various kinds of spirit jade, using warm white jade to pave the ground, using colorful spirit stones to carve pavilions, and then using noble amethyst to carve tables. Some exotic flowers and rare plants were also transplanted there, complementing each other perfectly, creating a beauty that seemed to come from nature.

Looking at her masterpiece, Nuwa nodded in satisfaction. With just a little effort, she transformed two simple futons into exquisite works of art. Truly worthy of her reputation! She will surely be able to create even more beautiful things in the future.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanyan, please!" Fuxi gestured.

The three entered the pavilion and sat down in the formation of the Three Powers. Nuwa took out eighteen innate spiritual fruits and placed them on the table.

"Come, Fellow Daoist Yuan Yan, try some of our innate spiritual fruits."

Fuxi said warmly, gesturing for Yuan Yan to taste the innate spiritual fruit on the jade plate.

"Good fortune to you two fellow Daoists! Your Daoist temple has even nurtured a mid-grade innate spiritual root and a low-grade innate spiritual root."

Yuan Yan didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up a Primordial Vermilion Fruit, examined it for a moment, and then put it directly into his mouth. The Primordial Vermilion Fruit melted in his mouth and had a warm sensation. It tasted quite good.

However, the Innate Vermilion Fruit is merely the fruit of a mid-grade innate spiritual root, and it is not even from the first batch, so it has little effect on Yuan Yan.

Its ability to replenish and enhance qi and blood, and improve cultivation, is completely useless to him. However, the laws of blood, fire, and pure yang contained within it do have a slight benefit to him, allowing him to fully comprehend the blood law that he had already mastered.

"Where? Where?" Nuwa and Fuxi smiled slightly, their eyes filled with gentle light, their smiles serene. However, they couldn't help but enthusiastically introduce the Innate Vermilion Fruit to Yuan Yan, much like a peddler praising his own wares.

"You two fellow Daoists are quite kind to me, bringing out all the fruits from your two innate spiritual roots to entertain me."

"It is rare to find a true friend in life. I am not afraid to say this, fellow Daoist, but the moment I met you, I felt as if we had known each other for a long time."

Fuxi smiled gently.

He wasn't just saying this casually. Yuan Yan was born from a gourd vine and possessed the innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements origins.

Nuwa and Fuxi represent the innate Lesser Yin and Lesser Yang energies, respectively. This is closely related to Yin and Yang. When they meet, they easily feel close and develop a liking for each other because of the attraction between their origins.

This was one of the reasons why Nuwa invited Yuan Yan inside for a chat in the first place. As soon as they saw him, they felt a great deal of goodwill towards him because of their innate origins.
