Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 50 Enjoyable Travels

However, upon thinking of this, Yuanjie did not feel anxious about the lack of resources. Instead, he remained calm and unconcerned, because it was too early for all of this and there was no need to rush.

They now need to repair the earth's veins while simultaneously setting up the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Grand Array.

Let alone setting up several thousand Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Grand Arrays, even setting up several hundred would probably take several hundred Yuanhui, or even longer.

(The higher the grade of the mountains and ley lines, the higher the grade of the innate spiritual treasures and innate spiritual roots should be, and the stronger the Heaven and Earth Returning Origin Array should be set up. Naturally, the time required to set up the array will also be longer.)

After several hundred Yuanhui, who knows what level their cultivation will reach, or how many opportunities, resources, and treasures they will obtain?

Having sorted out his thoughts, Yuan Jie used his clone technique to create a late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal clone, which he left to guard this place.

It serves both to prevent anyone from forcibly breaking in and stealing the treasure, and to control the operation of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Array.

Although the Yuan Realm clone's cultivation level was insufficient to operate the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Formation to its fullest potential, this formation was created by the Yuan Realm and the Yuan Wheel through deduction, and they had a thorough understanding of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Formation.

Now, with an avatar who deeply understands the essence of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Formation and takes charge of its operation, the power of the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Formation instantly surged by 50% to 60%, and its changes became more complex and mysterious, no longer as mechanical and regular as before.

They remained there for thousands of years, deducing and modifying the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Grand Array based on the actual conditions of the place. This made the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Grand Array more compatible with the mountains and rivers of the place, enabling it to exert stronger power and become more concealed and difficult to detect.

After ensuring there would be no problems, Yuanjie turned and left, heading to the next mountain and ley line repaired by Yuanlun to set up the Heaven and Earth Returning to Origin Grand Array.

While Yuanlun, Yuanjie, and Yuanling were working hard in turn, Yuanyan was living a very carefree and comfortable life!

After he broke through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and left Yingzhou Immortal Island, he returned to the East Sea.

While traveling through the East Sea, witnessing its various wonders and countless different races and creatures, he also refined many innate spiritual treasures that he had not yet refined to their full potential, especially the Twelfth Grade Pure World White Lotus. At the same time, his primordial spirit merged with heaven and earth, experiencing the vastness and boundlessness of the East Sea and comprehending the laws and great Dao. He also searched for and collected various natural treasures and rare gems that contained the laws and great Dao and were useful to Golden Immortals and above.

Of course, he also carefully sensed the Great Dao energy in the East Sea, which was different from that of the primordial world, hoping to find the other two of the Three Immortal Islands: Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island.

Although he had previously spent a lot of time and energy trying to deduce the whereabouts of Penglai Island and Fangzhang Island using Yingzhou Immortal Island as a reference, he temporarily put aside his greed and was not tempted by them. He did not pursue them at all costs and without rest, so as not to affect his own cultivation.

But that doesn't mean he has absolutely no hope left!

He still hoped that he could find Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island, obtain the treasures there, and find the Primordial Measuring Ruler, a treasure of acquired merit, as well as top-grade innate spiritual roots such as Huang Zhongji and Five-Needle Pine.

That is why, after leaving Yingzhou Immortal Island, he did not return to the primordial land, but instead traveled in the East Sea.

However, after refining the boundary marker of Yingzhou Immortal Island, he learned some secrets:

When Yingzhou Immortal Island is unclaimed, it will drift endlessly in the void and briefly manifest in the East China Sea every now and then, intersecting with the East China Sea for a moment. The location of the intersection is unpredictable and different each time.

It is precisely because of this, coupled with the fact that the East Sea is so vast and boundless that even if he flew at full speed, it would take him at least several eons to get from one end to the other without tearing through the void, that Yingzhou Immortal Island has never been found by the dragon clan's powerful figures.

The same should apply to Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island!

Although he did not give up searching for Penglai Island and Fangzhang Island, he also knew that it would be extremely difficult for him to find them, almost like a mortal looking for a needle in a haystack.

Therefore, although Yuan Yan longed to return to Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island, he was not too attached to them.

More often than not, they adopted a mindset of "if I gain it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's fate." They weren't specifically searching for Penglai Immortal Island and Fangzhang Immortal Island, but rather, without interfering with their own cultivation or important matters, they devoted some of their energy to the search.

Although they had traveled across the East China Sea for several eons, they still could not find a trace of Penglai Island or Fangzhang Island.

But Yuan Yan remained calm and at peace. He not only reaped great rewards, but also enjoyed a carefree and pleasant life.

Although his cultivation level couldn't expect a significant improvement in a short time, it was steadily increasing. The innate spiritual treasure in his possession was being further refined, allowing it to unleash even greater power. He also acquired many rare and precious materials, many of which were unique to the sea region and possessed special effects. He even obtained a low-grade innate spiritual treasure.

As he traveled through the East China Sea, Yuan Yan began to seek out some hobbies in his spare time:

He tried to use all sorts of rare and precious materials to refine and brew celestial wines with different effects and tastes;

He tried to make various musical instruments and improvised, playing out his thoughts, ideas, and observations to soothe his heart and clear his mind with music.

After providing some compensation, he collected parts of the bodies of many sea creatures as food and tried to make various feasts to satisfy his appetite.

He was also capricious, having coldly observed the various sea creatures fighting and killing each other, rescued some creatures he liked, and forcefully annihilated a domineering sea creature when it attacked him.

He also once roamed the mortal world, separating strands of his primordial spirit to transform into various races of beings, experiencing the different orders, civilizations, and life experiences of each race.

He also sought out the Great Luo Golden Immortal who resided in the East Sea to discuss the Dao with him and gain a deeper understanding of the various events that had occurred in the primordial world in the past.

He continued his travels in the East Sea for several more cycles, a total of fifteen cycles, but still could not find Penglai Immortal Island or Fangzhang Immortal Island. Yuan Yan then decided not to stay in the East Sea any longer.

Although the East Sea is vast, it is rich in resources, with all kinds of rare and precious materials emerging one after another. It is estimated that there are even many innate spiritual treasures and innate spiritual roots.

However, his luck was not very good during his travels in the East China Sea! Although he found many nice fairy islands, many special underwater secret places, and obtained many rare and precious materials, he did not obtain a single innate spiritual root and only one low-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Moreover, experiencing the unique environment and changes of the East China Sea was indeed of great benefit to him in developing and perfecting his own Dao.

However, having cultivated to the perfection of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, if he wanted to advance his Great Dao further and break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, he needed to witness a wider world, more unseen landscapes, and more different powerful figures and Great Daos—to verify his own Great Dao.
