Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

Chapter 58 The Development of the Great Luo

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 116 cycles have passed.

Yin Yang Cave Heaven "Hoo!" Yuan Yan slowly opened his eyes, in which the Yin Yang Great Dao evolved, the Three Thousand Great Daos intertwined, and an incomparably terrifying and vast power of the Great Dao flowed around his body, but in an instant all of it was subdued.

At this moment, after sensing his own cultivation level, Yuan Yan frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Still a little short, still unable to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm."

Although among the top innate deities in the primordial world, apart from him, Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling, no one has yet broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal Perfection. The highest cultivation level is only the late Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, and many are even stuck in the mid-Great Luo Golden Immortal stage.

The fact that the four of them possessed the perfect cultivation of the Great Luo Golden Immortals is absolutely unique in the prehistoric world.

However, it has been 130 to 140 eons since he broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

During those hundred-plus eons, in order to advance his cultivation level more quickly, he traveled almost all over the prehistoric world, visited many Great Luo Golden Immortals, and discussed the Dao with them.

Furthermore, after accumulating a certain level of understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos and clearing up his doubts, he would burn his merits and enter a state of enlightenment where he was one with the Dao, releasing his accumulated merits, resolving his doubts, and allowing his cultivation to grow rapidly.

Thanks to this, he has perfected his cultivation of essence, energy, and spirit, and can now merge them into primordial power. He has also perfected his Yin-Yang Dao to an extremely terrifying degree and comprehended some of the mysteries of primordial chaos.

However, it was still a little short. Several times when he merged the primordial energy and spirit into the Primordial Chaos Power and then fused it with the Great Luo Dao Fruit, he lacked the necessary accumulation and foundation to transform the Great Luo Dao Fruit into a flawed Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit and evolve it into the Primordial Ancestor.

At this moment, Yuan Yan truly understood why the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, which had previously dominated the prehistoric world, had only produced fewer than fifty Hunyuan Golden Immortals.

Only then did I understand why the Netherworld Serpent Ancestor, despite cultivating from the early stages of the Beast Tribulation to the end of the Dragon-Han Tribulation, had been unable to break through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

The Way of Hunyuan is indeed difficult!

Even with the assistance of three top-tier innate divine beings, and even with his accumulated merits, he could not advance to that level in a short period of time.

While pondering in his heart, Yuan Yan deduced the secrets of heaven, understood the situation of the primordial world after his seclusion, and through the mysterious connection, communicated with the Yuan Realm, Yuan Wheel, and Yuan Spirit to understand their cultivation progress and the development of the demonic forces.

After a short while, Yuan Yan understood and nodded in satisfaction.

In the present-day primordial world, heroes are rising up everywhere, and great immortals are emerging one after another.

According to his deductions, there are one or two thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals who have deliberately left some unimportant information about themselves in the world.

There are countless other Great Immortals who have not revealed themselves, but instead concealed and shielded their secrets, making them difficult for others to deduce.

However, at this time, Yuan Yan was not surprised that there were so many Great Luo Golden Immortals in the prehistoric world.

After the Dragon-Han Great Calamity, a new era will surely see the birth of innate saints. He did not know how many innate saints would be born, but they should be no more than three thousand.

Although there are lower, middle, upper and top levels of innate divinity, the differences between these different levels are enormous.

However, this gap will become very obvious after the Great Luo Golden Immortal and the Primordial Golden Immortal. Before the Great Luo Golden Immortal, although there is a gap, it is not drastic.

Because of their innate divine background, aptitude, and comprehension, the cultivation methods of the Great Luo Golden Immortals were no obstacle for them, and they faced no bottlenecks whatsoever.

Perhaps it takes many times longer for lower-level or middle-level innate saints to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm than for top-level innate saints, but once they understand their own path, they will not be stuck below the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Furthermore, after the Dragon-Han Great Calamity, although only one in ten thousand of the beings in the primordial world survived, even if it was only one in a hundred thousand, it would still be an enormous number.

Among so many beings, there are naturally many with exceptional backgrounds, talents, and comprehension, and quite a few beings have broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm within one or two hundred eons.

Therefore, the prehistoric world is now far from lacking in Great Luo Golden Immortals. The number of Great Luo Golden Immortals may have exceeded three thousand, and the prehistoric world has once again become lively and prosperous.

Of course, this was not the reason for his satisfaction. What truly satisfied him was the development of his subordinate forces.

Currently, he commands a force of 70,000 to 80,000 people. Of these, apart from a small number of less than 5,000 who have not yet broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, the rest are all at or above the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

Among them, there are thousands upon thousands of late-stage Taiyi Golden Immortals, hundreds of Taiyi Golden Immortals at the peak, and a total of twenty-six Daluo Golden Immortals!

However, of these twenty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals, only six broke through in the last hundred or so eons; the remaining twenty had already broken through to Great Luo Golden Immortal before the end of the Dragon-Han Calamity.

Because they joined the three innate races and participated in the war between the three races, they were burdened with blood and evil karma. Not only was their cultivation extremely difficult and slow, but they were also very prone to having distracting thoughts and going astray in their cultivation.

When the Yuan Realm, Yuan Wheel, and Yuan Spirit went to recruit them, they only revealed their strength and told them that they had a way to help them gain merit and eliminate karma. They then worshipped them wholeheartedly.

As for the six Great Luo Golden Immortals who broke through in the last hundred or so eons, apart from one who was a top-tier innate being, the rest were all innate saints.

The reason why those five innate deities were willing to submit to them was mainly because he, Yuanjie, Yuanlun, and Yuanling were all top-tier innate deities. Their cultivation level was high enough, their strength was strong enough, and they promised to help them earn merit. If they made enough contributions, they could exchange them for innate spiritual treasures.

Furthermore, these twenty-six Great Luo Golden Immortals possessed considerable cultivation levels. Among them, one was a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the Perfection stage, four were Great Luo Golden Immortals at the Late Stage, twelve were Great Luo Golden Immortals at the Middle Stage, and the remaining nine were Great Luo Golden Immortals at the Early Stage.

It's no exaggeration to say that even without counting the four Great Luo Golden Immortals who have reached perfection—Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling—these twenty-six people alone are definitely the most powerful force in the prehistoric world.

If they were to reveal themselves and become known to the many powerful figures in the prehistoric world, it would surely cause a huge sensation.

However, they were not well-known in the primordial world, and very few powerful beings knew about them.

Because under the arrangement of the Primordial Realm, the Primordial Wheel, and the Primordial Spirit, they are working hard and diligently to repair the Western Continent!

In particular, the twenty Great Luo Golden Immortals who survived the Dragon-Han Great Calamity have been active for over a hundred eons without rest.

They not only had no objections to this, but were also deeply grateful to Yuan Yan, Yuan Jie, Yuan Lun, and Yuan Ling.

Because of the arrangements made by Yuan Yan and the other three, they were able to repair the ley lines of the Western Continent very quickly, and their merits were also earned at a fast pace. This allowed them to almost completely eliminate the karma they were carrying.
