Primordial Era: Innate gourd vine, self-dismemberment

It took a full thousand years for Yuan Yan to imprint his own Dao on the world, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth slowly faded away.

However, at this point, he still needs to go to the River of Time, gather his own timeline, and transcend the River of Time in order to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

It's not difficult to travel to the River of Time. Yuan Yan connected to the River of Time using the laws of time, and with a thought, his true body entered the River of Time.

The river of time, existing between reality and illusion, has existed since the beginning of time. It has no source and no end. The mighty force of time flows on forever, irreversible and unstoppable.

A tall figure appeared silently, and the river of time instantly sensed his presence.

Realizing that Yuan Yan had not yet transcended, the River of Time began to target him.

Instantly, the water of time, so real yet so illusory, transformed into the power of time, covering and enveloping him, trying to pull him into the river of time and bury him there.

Seeing this, Yuan Yan remained calm and, with a thought, directly manifested the Great Luo Dao Fruit.

In an instant, the light of the Great Luo Dao Fruit burst forth, stirring the river of time and creating countless ripples. Following the mysterious pull, it traversed the endless universe, spreading across endless time and space, reflecting the past, present, and future of the Primordial Evolution.

His timeline began to converge, and all figures from the past, present, and future became his imprints.

At this point, Yuan Yan had completely become a Great Luo Golden Immortal, transcending the river of time, his true spirit eternal, immortal and indestructible.

Even if he is killed by a powerful enemy now, as long as all traces of his past, present and future are not erased, he will not be completely dead, and there will be a day when he is resurrected and returns.

However, when Yuan Yan transcended the river of time and broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he received a message from the unseen realm:

The river of time is suppressed by the majestic Buzhou Mountain, and the axe that cleaved the heavens corrected everything. At its source, Pangu severed all ages, and nothing can be done rashly or reversed.

Therefore, after breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, although one can still travel through the river of time, one can only observe and cannot move.

The abilities that the Great Luo Golden Immortal originally possessed, such as changing the past, rescuing people from past timelines, opening new timelines, and reviving from past timelines after falling in the present timeline, are all gone.

To kill a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, it doesn't need to be so complicated. You don't need to erase all traces of their past, present, and future; you only need to kill them in the present.

However, the Great Luo Immortals who have been killed now were alive in the past, so they are not completely dead. If one day the River of Time is no longer suppressed by the Three Great Mountains, they can be resurrected and return at any time.

Moreover, unless one has the ability to break through the three great mountains, no living being can completely eradicate all traces of a Great Luo Immortal's past, present, and future, causing a Great Luo Golden Immortal to perish completely.

This can only be described as a trade-off, with both advantages and disadvantages!

Of course, for a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the disadvantages definitely outweigh the advantages.

Having just broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Yuan Yan can travel through the river of time and go back in time, so he naturally won't leave so quickly.

He took a step forward, going against the current, preparing to travel upstream in the river of time to satisfy his curiosity and gain a deeper understanding of the primordial world through the past.

However, after traveling for a while in the long river of time, Yuan Yan was slightly disappointed.

He found it difficult to obtain the information he wanted by going through the past.

Because of some basic information, even if he does not specialize in the great Dao such as heavenly secrets, cause and effect, or destiny, he can still obtain it by communicating with heaven and earth through his primordial spirit.

However, due to the special nature of the Great Luo Golden Immortals, he simply could not glimpse some of the secrets concerning Great Luo Golden Immortals and above.

The Great Luo Golden Immortals have transcended the river of time. Although outsiders cannot erase their presence in the river of time, their Great Dao has evolved into a Great Dao Mist, obscuring and shielding their past, making it impossible for powerful beings above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level to view it at will.

Moreover, in addition to those above the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal, innate spiritual treasures and innate spiritual roots with a status equivalent to or above the Great Luo Golden Immortal also carry their own Great Dao mist, which can conceal and shield past time and space, cause and effect, destiny, and heavenly secrets.

Of course, there are some areas where the Great Dao's mist is weaker, and he could forcibly break through and probe them, but even if he could, he wouldn't do it, he wouldn't dare to do it.

Forcibly spying is to make enemies and invite karma. He might not be afraid of one or two, but if there are too many, even Hongjun would not dare to do so, because being entangled in karma, although it cannot kill him, can hinder his cultivation.

Having traveled upstream for some time without gaining much, and gradually adapted to and become familiar with some of the methods of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, Yuan Yan no longer intended to stay.

With a thought, Yuan Yan returned to the primordial world!

"I have finally broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm and achieved an immortal body!" Back in the Buzhou Mountain Valley, Yuan Yan sat cross-legged under the gourd vine, his heart filled with joy!

However, suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Yuan Yan frowned slightly: "However, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal can be immortal and indestructible. Pangu, who spanned countless ages at the source of the River of Time, has he truly perished?"

"I'm afraid not!"

It should be understood that Great Luo Golden Immortals are immortal and indestructible. As long as there is even a trace of the past, present, or future, they will not completely perish.

Pangu's cultivation level was countless levels higher than that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so he should naturally have the same essence, and his essence was even more mysterious.

So, are there any traces of Pangu left now?

Yes! The entire prehistoric world is full of them!

If that's the case, how could he have already perished? Even if he really has perished, it's probably only temporary, and he will probably return one day.

"Sigh! What am I thinking about?" Yuan Yan suddenly shook his head, shaking these thoughts out of his mind. What's the use of thinking about these things now? Is this something a mere Great Luo should be thinking about?

His most important task now is self-cultivation!

After a moment of contemplation, Yuan Yan decided to continue manifesting his original form and connecting with the Primordial Gourd Vine. He would allow the Primordial Gourd Vine to continue nurturing the Primordial Myriad Dao Gourd, while simultaneously comprehending the laws and great Dao contained within the Primordial Myriad Dao Gourd and the Primordial Gourd Vine. He would also open up the Great Dao of Reincarnation and the Great Dao of the World, and refine and perfect them to the Great Luo level.

As for other matters, they will be put on hold for now.

For example, when traveling, the evil and calamity aura in the outside world is becoming increasingly intense, and perhaps it won't be long before a great calamity erupts completely.

Although he had already broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he was powerless to protect himself against the three races and those powerful figures. In addition, the heavens and earth were warning him that this was not his time and that he should wait until the great calamity had passed before emerging into the world.

Even though he really wanted to see the outside world, he could only suppress his desire for the time being.

For example, cultivating the Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang! His current cultivation level is insufficient, and he has a feeling that it will be difficult for him to complete one Yin-Yang transformation. Even if he could, it would definitely take a lot of time.

Therefore, he does not intend to cultivate now, but plans to wait until his cultivation level has advanced further.

As for refining the Primordial Chaos Gourd? It wasn't that he forgot, but rather that he had no intention of refining it at all, at least not before he went out to travel.

He was worried that refining the Hunyuan Wandao Gourd and imprinting it with his true spirit would affect its continued growth and development.

Although it's not certain, he won't gamble if there's any chance.

In any case, before he went out to travel, he didn't need to use the Hunyuan Wandao Gourd to fight; he only needed to comprehend the laws and principles contained within it.

His connection with the Hunyuan Wandao Gourd was too close; even without refining it, it wouldn't affect his comprehension, and he could even unleash considerable power.
