Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

For example, the Three Incarnations can summon the past, present, and future selves to fight together, but since he has not yet comprehended the Great Dao of Time, he is powerless to resolve or mitigate the backlash from the River of Time.

If used, his three incarnations would be forced to dissipate within a short time, and he would be severely injured by the backlash.

Although one person can become four in a short time, it is impossible to seriously injure a powerful expert of the same level. It is not worth suffering serious injuries for this.

After carefully reviewing his gains over the past twenty-five eons of cultivation, Yuan Yan turned his attention to the Innate Gourd Vine and the Primordial Myriad Paths Gourd, nodding in satisfaction.

After being nurtured for twenty-five eons, the Hunyuan Wandao Gourd finally transformed into a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Although it only contained thirty-seven innate divine restrictions, its power was incomparable to that of a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Moreover, the three thousand Great Daos it contains have all evolved and perfected to the Great Luo level.

As for the innate gourd vine, it not only did not gradually weaken due to the loss of the original source of the Hunyuan Wandao gourd, but it actually recovered somewhat.

Because he wanted to prevent the innate gourd vine from withering due to the loss of too much of its original essence, he specially created supernatural abilities such as Nine Breaths of Breath Absorption, Spring Breeze and Rain, and Nourishing All Things.

This not only accelerated the absorption of innate spiritual energy and Daoist inspiration by the innate gourd vine, but also allowed the lost essence of the innate gourd vine to slowly recover.

However, although the innate gourd vine nourishes the Hunyuan Wandao gourd with its innate essence, the recovery speed is greater than the loss speed, but the recovery speed becomes extremely slow.

If this recovery rate continues, it may take several thousand or even tens of thousands of eons to fully recover.

Gently shaking his head, Yuan Yan stopped paying attention to the Innate Gourd Vine and the Primordial Myriad Paths Gourd, turning his mind back to himself and falling into thought.

"I nurture the innate true spirit with the Great Luo Dao Fruit, allowing the innate true spirit to transform into the innate immortal true spirit. This process does not require much effort or energy; it can happen naturally."

"So, what should I cultivate next?"

"Will you explore and develop the Dao of Reincarnation and the Dao of the World? Or refine the innate divine restrictions contained within the Primordial Chaos Gourd and comprehend the great laws and principles contained within? Or cultivate the Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang to refine your physical body and primordial spirit to their ultimate level? Or something else?"

After a moment of contemplation and hesitation, Yuan Yan had his answer: cultivate the Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang, and refine his physical body and primordial spirit to their ultimate level.

In one or two eons at most, he will be able to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Before that, cultivating the Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang and perfecting his physical body and primordial spirit would lay a more solid foundation for him.

Moreover, although he has already condensed the Great Luo Dao Fruit, he has not yet broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal level. It is not easy for him to open up the Dao of Reincarnation and the Dao of the World and evolve them to the Great Luo level. It will take at least several dozen Yuanhui.

However, refining the innate divine restrictions contained within the Primordial Myriad Paths Gourd and comprehending the laws and great principles contained within it also requires a great deal of time.

However, if he waits until he breaks through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and reaches a higher level before doing it, he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

If one wants to cultivate the Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang, it is naturally not good to maintain the original form. It is best to cultivate in the form of the innate Dao body.

With a thought, Yuan Yan severed his connection with the innate gourd vine, transformed into a Daoist human form, sat cross-legged under the innate gourd vine, and began to circulate the Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang, using his physical body and primordial spirit as Yin and Yang, and performing the transformations of Yin and Yang.

As the cultivation technique was practiced, Yin and Yang transformed, and the balance between Yuan Yan's physical body and primordial spirit was broken. His physical body gradually weakened, and his primordial spirit slowly transformed and strengthened, breaking the upper limit of the primordial spirit until the physical body disappeared and the primordial spirit transformed and became extremely powerful.

As Yin reaches its limit and Yang begins to emerge, the powerful primordial spirit gradually weakens while a physical body gradually grows. The physical body gradually transforms and strengthens, breaking through the physical body's limits, until the primordial spirit disappears and the physical body transforms and becomes extremely powerful.

As yang reaches its limit, yin begins to emerge. The powerful physical body gradually weakens, while the primordial spirit gradually emerges. The primordial spirit gradually transforms and strengthens until yin and yang are balanced again.

It took three thousand years for Yuan Yan to complete a Yin-Yang transformation, restoring the physical body and primordial spirit from an unbalanced state to a state of Yin-Yang equilibrium.

At this point, although his physical body and primordial spirit had not improved in the slightest, their limits had been broken. As long as he absorbed enough innate spiritual energy, he could easily cultivate his physical body and primordial spirit to their limits.

With a thought, Yuan Yan circulated his Qi through nine breaths, rapidly absorbing and refining boundless innate spiritual energy and Daoist essence. Endless innate spiritual energy and Daoist essence converged, transforming into a vast vortex that poured in, causing his physical body and primordial spirit to rapidly transform and strengthen.

Five thousand years later, although Yuan Yan had cultivated his physical body and primordial spirit to the extreme, he could no longer absorb innate spiritual energy and Daoist inspiration to achieve transformation and enhancement.

At this moment, carefully sensing the changes in his physical body and primordial spirit, Yuan Yan's eyes lit up; his physical body and primordial spirit had at least doubled in strength.

Doesn't this mean that if he could experience nine Yin-Yang transformations before breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, his physical body and primordial spirit could be strengthened by more than five hundred times?

He is a top-tier innate saint. Although he did not specifically temper his physical body and primordial spirit before, his physical body and primordial spirit are definitely not bad.

If he could truly be enhanced by more than 500 times, his physical body and primordial spirit would probably be able to withstand a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, and would be no weaker than the physical body of the Great Luo Witch Clan.

If that's the case, then the Yin-Yang Nine Evolutions he created are far too terrifying, allowing him, a Taiyi Golden Immortal, to possess a Daluo-level physical body and primordial spirit.

However, Yuan Yan quickly shook his head. While the Yin-Yang Nine Transformations were indeed impressive, they weren't actually that heaven-defying.

Even if he can complete nine Yin-Yang transformations based on his current level, it is because he has already comprehended his own Dao, condensed the Great Luo Dao Fruit, and reached the Great Luo level.

Otherwise, even if he were the creator of the Yin-Yang Nine Evolutions, he would still find it difficult to achieve if his realm was insufficient. Ultimately, realm determines the upper limit!

Stopping his thoughts on these matters, Yuan Yan continued to focus on cultivating the Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang, practicing the transformations of Yin and Yang. However, this time, the order of the Yin and Yang transformations was reversed from the last time.

……

Two cycles later!

"Boom!" A vast vortex of spiritual energy, comparable to a starry sea, exploded, and Yuan Yan's form slowly appeared.

He sat cross-legged under the innate gourd vine, his physical body and primordial spirit exuding an aura of immortality and indestructibility, having reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, no weaker than a low-grade innate spiritual treasure.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and with a slight movement, he actually shook space and time. The world and space-time collapsed because they could not withstand his terrifying physical body and primordial spirit.

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Yan withdrew his own Dao energy, and the space-time of heaven and earth gradually calmed down.

However, not long after, the world suddenly changed!

Deep within Yuan Yan's sea of ​​consciousness, a primordial, indestructible true spirit manifested, enveloped by the Great Luo Dao Fruit, its Dao light boundless and illuminating the entire universe.

Seemingly sensing that Yuan Yan was about to attain the Great Luo Dao, the formless and intangible Great Dao of Heaven and Earth appeared, with heavenly sounds resounding, Dao radiance dancing, boundless golden light, auspicious colors, the five elements surging, and endless auspicious clouds... countless strange phenomena appeared.

Under the suppression (test) of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, Yuan Yan's Great Luo Dao Fruit shone even brighter, extending outwards to manifest its own Yin-Yang Great Dao, leaving its own indestructible true spirit imprint in the world, and engraving the ultimate truth of the Great Dao.
