Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Furthermore, His connection with Him was so close that He could absorb innate spiritual energy, Daoist inspiration, and even transfer His own innate origin to allow Him to continue to grow.

Although he would never sacrifice his own cultivation, lose his innate origin, or affect his Dao foundation for the sake of the Primordial Myriad Dao Gourd, since he was a human form of the Primordial Gourd Vine, his origin was the same as that of the Primordial Gourd Vine, and they were almost one. Therefore, the Primordial Gourd Vine could take his place and provide nourishment for the Primordial Myriad Dao Gourd.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yuan Yan revealed his true form, transforming into a section of innate gourd vine, with an innate treasure gourd hanging from the vine.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the Primordial Gourd Vine, Yuan Yan took root in the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and reconnected with the Primordial Gourd Vine along the gap he had previously severed.

While continuously absorbing the innate spiritual energy, Daoist essence, and even innate origin from the innate gourd vine, it continues to nurture the Primordial Myriad Dao Gourd.

On one hand, it allows the innate gourd vine to absorb innate spiritual energy and Daoist inspiration to restore its own origin, lest its innate origin be depleted and wither away too quickly.

As for the other six innate gourds? They can only supply a small amount of innate spiritual energy and Daoist inspiration, just like before, to keep the life force from dying out.

"That's not right!" But then, Yuan Yan suddenly thought, "I originally planned to transform into human form and go out to see this world. But now that I've revealed my original form and am connected to the Primordial Gourd Vine, continuing to nurture the Primordial Myriad Dao Gourd, how can I possibly go out?"

"Forget it, I'm not going out for now!"

"I will continue to cultivate in the Primordial Grand Array and nurture the Hunyuan Myriad Dao Gourd. It won't be too late to go out after I break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and the Hunyuan Myriad Dao Gourd is upgraded to a top-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure."

After all, a Great Immortal has attained enlightenment, transcended the river of time, and is immortal and indestructible, and will not perish easily.

But what about a Taiyi Golden Immortal? That's not necessarily true, especially one who possesses a powerful treasure.

"However, even though we won't go out for the time being, we still need to see the outside world, understand the situation, and determine what period we are in now."

With these thoughts in mind, Yuan Yan began to comprehend the innate grand formation that protected the innate gourd vine.

The innate grand formation protecting the innate gourd vine seals off and isolates the inside from the outside. While this protects the innate gourd vine from being easily discovered, it also isolates everything within the innate grand formation from the outside world.

Unless he mastered the innate grand formation, his divine sense was unable to probe beyond it, and naturally, he could not communicate with heaven and earth or deduce the secrets of heaven.

Therefore, if he wants to understand the situation outside, he needs to first comprehend and master the innate grand formation.

Perhaps it was because the innate gourd vine was the foundation of the innate grand formation, or perhaps it was because the innate grand formation contained the changes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, which were very compatible with him.

In less than ten thousand years, Yuan Yan had already comprehended the Innate Grand Array to a certain extent and could control it through the Innate Gourd Vine.

They also have some understanding of the innate grand formation that protects the innate gourd vine. This formation is the innate Yin-Yang Great Evolution Grand Formation, which exhausts the changes of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. It is a formation at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal. If it can be operated to its limit, even a Primordial Golden Immortal can withstand it.

However, with his current cultivation level, it is impossible for him to fully comprehend the mysteries of this formation, and naturally, it is difficult for him to unleash its full power.

Under his control, this innate grand formation would be lucky to even withstand a Great Luo Perfection cultivator.

Having gained a basic understanding of the innate grand formation, Yuan Yan began to sense the outside world.

"Hiss! Such a dense aura of malevolence and calamity!"

Although at this time, to the naked eye, the outside world was a desolate wasteland, filled with the vast and terrifying pressure of Pangu.

But he is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and can see things that ordinary immortals cannot:

The world outside Buzhou Mountain seemed to have turned black and red, with the aura of calamity and malevolence so thick that it was impossible to dissipate.

Moreover, at this moment, he had a premonition that if he dared to leave his birthplace and leave Mount Buzhou, he would most likely perish.

Immediately, Yuan Yan made up his mind not to go out for the time being!

With such dense calamity and malevolent energy outside, he didn't need to communicate with heaven and earth to deduce the secrets of heaven to know what period the outside world was in: the late or final stage of the Dragon-Han Great Calamity.

During this period, the three races fought for supremacy in the prehistoric world, and were extremely domineering. Without the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, going out would only be like giving away freebies!

As expected, Yuan Yan communicated with heaven and earth briefly and learned some basic information. It was indeed the era of the three races.

Knowing what era they were in, Yuan Yan dared not speculate too much, or even think too much about it.

For a powerful being with great supernatural abilities, what one keeps thinking about will surely have an impact, and he doesn't want to be targeted.

Yuan Yan withdrew his divine sense and maximized the concealment and shielding capabilities of the Innate Yin-Yang Dao Array.

"I never imagined it would happen in the later stages of the Dragon-Han Great Tribulation, rather than after it!"

"However, this should be good news for me. I may have taken human form much earlier than the Three Pure Ones, Emperor Jun, Taiyi, and others, or perhaps I was born around the same time as them, but I certainly won't be later than them. Perhaps in the future, I will be able to compete with them!"

Thinking of this, Yuan Yan couldn't help but feel excited.

Although when he first awoke, he did not seek to attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos, nor did he seek to become a saint. He was content to escape his original fate and become a carefree and powerful being.

But human desires are never satisfied; once you get what you want, you'll want something even better.

He is also included!

If there is no opportunity, then so be it. But if there is an opportunity, he naturally wants to attain enlightenment and does not want to become an "ant" below the saint.

Gently shaking his head, Yuan Yan cleared away the chaotic thoughts in his mind and regained his composure.

Whether he wants to attain the Great Luo of Primordial Chaos or to become a saint, it is not something that can be achieved through mere fantasy; it requires initial accumulation and hard work.

What he should be doing now is not fantasizing about the future, but diligently cultivating and breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm first.

His innate lineage also contains records of how to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

In the primordial world, cultivation realms are divided into: Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

Earth Immortal: The lowest level in the primordial world. Those who have not yet condensed their innate primordial spirit are called Earth Immortals. They are generally descendants of innate beings who have not yet been born.

Celestial Immortal: One can break through by condensing the innate primordial spirit. The cultivation of a Celestial Immortal is to strengthen the innate primordial spirit.

True Immortal: One can break through by condensing the innate true spirit. The cultivation of a True Immortal is to strengthen the innate true spirit.

Mysterious Immortal: Profound beyond profound, comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth, and grasping a trace of the laws.

Golden Immortal: Comprehend the laws, condense the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, use the laws to cleanse the physical body and primordial spirit, nurture the innate true spirit, and make one's physical body, primordial spirit, and true spirit immortal.

Taiyi Golden Immortal: Comprehending a law to perfection allows the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit to transform into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. After the Dao Fruit transforms, one can break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Comprehending the forty-nine perfect laws allows one to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. At this point, although one can still comprehend more laws, even to the point of perfecting all three thousand laws, one can no longer nurture and enhance the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.
