Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 39 Unsuccessful Decision

Fourth, a small fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation.

In terms of the Great Dao, innate Daoist charm, and power contained within, it is roughly comparable to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

However, the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation carry the Three Thousand Great Daos and have the effect of enhancing comprehension and assisting in enlightenment. They can be called the ultimate treasure for enlightenment, and their true value is no less than that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Yuan Yan carefully inventoried Yingzhou Immortal Island, taking all the innate spiritual treasures that could be collected, and also picking all the innate spiritual roots and fruits that could be harvested.

Thinking of the various treasures contained in Yingzhou Immortal Island, Yuan Yan couldn't help but feel greedy: "Yingzhou Immortal Island alone has so many treasures, including the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus."

"What treasures do the remaining two of the three immortal islands, Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island, possess?"

"Could the treasures such as the Yellow Plum, the Five-Needle Pine, and the Primordial Measuring Ruler be located on Penglai Immortal Island or Fangzhang Immortal Island?"

"Legend has it that the three immortal islands all evolved from fragments of chaos and are connected in some way. I wonder if this is true or not. Could I use Yingzhou Immortal Island to find the whereabouts of the other two immortal islands?"

With this thought in mind, Yuan Yan, Yuan Lun, Yuan Jie, and Yuan Ling exchanged glances and instantly understood each other's thoughts.

"Boom!" Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling unleashed their own Great Dao without reservation, relying on the island domain authority held by the boundary marker of Yingzhou Immortal Island to deduce things related to Yingzhou Immortal Island and explore the specific locations of Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island.

However, it is unclear whether the four people's current cultivation level is still insufficient, or whether the three immortal islands are independent and not closely connected.

After much deduction, they ultimately came up empty-handed.

Yuan Yan, along with Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling, dispersed the aura of the Great Dao that permeated their bodies. Their brows furrowed slightly, and they said in a deep voice, "It seems that forcibly deducing is useless. The connection between the three immortal islands may be extremely subtle, beyond our current level of understanding; or perhaps the three immortal islands are independent of each other, making it impossible to deduce the location of the other two based on one."

"My Lord!" Yuanjie said, "I'm afraid the three immortal islands are independent of each other and have no special connection, so it's impossible to find the other two by using one immortal island as a lead."

Otherwise, when the Eastern King Duke finds Penglai Immortal Island in the future, he should also be able to find Yingzhou Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island, and he should have the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus and other supreme treasures with him.

Even if he wasn't a match for Donghuang Taiyi, who possessed a supreme innate treasure, he shouldn't have perished so easily.

"That's true!" Yuan Yan nodded slightly.

"Well, what I gain is my fortune, what I lose is my fate! Our harvest this time has already been quite substantial!"

Immediately, Yuan Yan put aside his obsession with Penglai and Fangzhang Islands.

"My Lord, since we are not continuing to deduce and search for the whereabouts of Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island, what should we do next? Should we go to the Western Continent to repair the earth veins? Or should we first thoroughly digest and absorb the memories and insights of the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor?" Yuanjie asked.

"Naturally, we should first thoroughly digest and absorb the memories and insights of the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor," Yuan Yan said without hesitation.

After a moment's hesitation, Yuan Yan continued, "This time we will go into seclusion together. Once you break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and I break through to the perfect Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, we will emerge from seclusion together and go to the Western Continent to take a look."

"Isn't this...something inappropriate?" Yuan Ling asked hesitantly.

While it wasn't particularly difficult for the three of them to break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, it was certainly not something that could be accomplished in a short period of time.

Because the four of them were originally one, they could share their insights into the Three Thousand Laws and Great Dao, which made their accumulation extremely profound.

However, they still need to deeply comprehend some Daos that correspond to and resonate with their own Dao in order to better evolve and perfect their own Dao.

If they do not use any external force and rely solely on their own dedicated cultivation and enlightenment, it would take them at least fifty or sixty eons to break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

For Yuan Yan to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection, he not only needs to deeply comprehend the Three Thousand Laws and Great Dao and accumulate enough foundation, but also needs to evolve and perfect his own Great Dao.

If one does not use any external force and relies solely on one's own dedicated cultivation and enlightenment, it would probably take hundreds of eons to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Having just accepted this opportunity, it would be rather inappropriate to immediately go into seclusion for such a long time without cleaning up and repairing the primordial world!

If it weren't for the twelve-petaled Pure White Lotus suppressing their fortune, he would have been worried that while they were in seclusion, their fortune might suddenly be lost, and they might be attacked.

Yuan Yan and Yuan Ling were of one mind, and Yuan Yan instantly understood their concerns. He chuckled and said, "If we don't use external forces, it will indeed take a long time for you to break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and for me to break through to the perfect Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

"But all that hard work searching for treasures, all that effort cleaning and repairing the battlefields of the three races to earn Heavenly Merit, isn't it all for the sake of improving our cultivation level? The treasures we collect and the merits we earn only truly belong to us when they are transformed into our strength!"

"Moreover, as our cultivation level improves, our efficiency in cleaning up and repairing the primordial world will naturally increase, and we will be able to earn more Heavenly Dao merits in the future."

"You mean—" Before Yuan Jie could finish speaking, Yuan Yan interrupted without room for doubt, "That's right. This time in seclusion, we will not only use the merits of the Heavenly Dao, but also the fruits of many innate spiritual roots, such as the Innate Wisdom Fruit, the Innate Spirit-Nourishing Fruit, the Innate Blood Soul Fruit, the Yellow Millet Dream Rice, the Yin-Yang Twin Lotus Seeds, and the Pure World White Lotus Seeds."

Primordial Pure Tea Leaves, Divine Water of the Three Lights —

"We possess the first batch of fruits from these innate spiritual roots. These fruits have been nurtured for countless years, and their quality far surpasses that of normally produced fruits. Consuming them can help us easily comprehend the corresponding Great Dao and quickly accumulate sufficient foundation."

"In fact, some innate spiritual root fruits have the effect of assisting in enlightenment and are of great benefit to us in evolving and perfecting our own Great Dao, such as the innate wisdom fruit, the innate pure spirit tea leaves, and the pure white lotus seeds."

"After consuming these fruits, and then using the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation, or even burning the merits of the Heavenly Dao, to enter a state of enlightenment in harmony with the Dao, our cultivation speed will be dozens or even hundreds of times faster than normal enlightenment cultivation."

"Perhaps, in just a few eons, you will be able to break through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and I will be able to break through to the perfect Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

""

"good!"

The Yuan Realm, Yuan Wheel, and Yuan Spirit all nodded in agreement, unanimously supporting Yuan Yan's decision.

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Yan and the other three returned to the shore of the Three Lights Divine Water Lake, each placing the Pure World White Lotus back into the lake and sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform.

The Pure White Lotus emitted a soft and pure white light, bathing Yuan Yan and the other three in it. All their distracting thoughts vanished, and their minds became clear and serene.

Without the slightest hesitation, the four of them took out the Innate Wisdom Fruit and consumed it. Their primordial spirits were connected, and the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc hung in mid-air, emitting the profound light of the Three Thousand Great Daos. The four of them, Yuan Yan, were all plunged into a deep state of enlightenment.

(The first batch of Innate Wisdom Fruits yielded twelve fruits in total. Yuan Yan, Nuwa, and Fuxi had already used three, leaving nine remaining.)
