The Primordial Era: Starting with Becoming a Disciple of the Queen Mother of the West

Chapter 133 Taiyi Middle Stage

Deep within Qingxuan Cave, the cold pool is shrouded in mist.

Xuan Yao sat cross-legged on the white jade platform, his eyes slightly closed, his aura long and steady.

After returning from the East China Sea, he settled all matters in the mountains, sealed the secret chamber, and once again went into seclusion to cultivate in seclusion.

Time stands still in the mountains, and the passing of winter's chill is unnoticed. In this moment of stillness, thousands of years have flown by.

On this day, Xuan Yao slowly opened his eyes, a clear and bright light flashing in his dark golden eyes.

He raised his hand and formed a hand seal, and a clear, resonant hum immediately rang out from within his dantian.

A beam of purple-gold light flew out from between his eyebrows, spun in mid-air, and hovered three feet above his spiritual platform.

It was that top-grade innate spiritual treasure that protected him in the chaotic void, the Purple-Gold Exquisite Pagoda.

As soon as the pagoda appeared, auspicious energy rose from the secret chamber. The nine-story pagoda shimmered with purple and gold, its precious light like water.

Forty-three innate restrictions unfolded layer by layer from within the tower, surrounding the Xuan Yao Spirit Platform, resembling a dazzling galaxy, making him appear even more solemn.

Xuan Yao looked up, his expression solemn.

Innate spiritual treasures are rare to begin with, and those of the highest quality are even rarer.

Looking across the vast wilderness, even those innate saints who are born extraordinary, if they could obtain a top-grade spiritual treasure to accompany them, would be able to roam freely in their respective regions.

This exquisite purple-gold pagoda is of a higher grade than the Xuan Sha Golden Whip, and is Xuan Yao's true protective treasure.

He carefully sensed the Daoist energy within the tower and gained some understanding in his heart.

The Xuan Sha Golden Whip I obtained in the past, although a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, is mainly for killing and severing evil, and its sharpness is too great, making it most adept at attack.

Those who cultivate themselves can roam the primordial world, but if they are only good at killing, it is not a long-term solution.

This Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda is different.

This treasure does not compete for power or engage in killing; its greatest strength lies in suppressing fortune and calming the primordial spirit.

As long as the pagoda hangs high above one's head, it can protect one's body, making it difficult for evil spirits to invade and for any magic to approach.

With one attack and one defense, the entire formation is complete.

Only after obtaining this tower today has Xuan Yao truly completed the last piece of his magical treasures and techniques, making them more worthy of his current cultivation as a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

With this in mind, he no longer hesitated and formed a mudra with his hands in front of his chest.

In an instant, the Taiyi magical power within his body surged forth, transforming into a powerful torrent that flowed straight into the pagoda above his head.

At the same time, the pure and virtuous energy deep within his mind was also activated.

That clear, gentle warmth, like silk threads, enveloped the Taiyi magic power within, slowly seeping into the innate restriction.

Innate spiritual treasures are inherently difficult to refine, and the higher the grade, the more complex the restrictions.

In the past, when he was refining the Xuan Sha Golden Whip, the chaotic and malevolent energy within the treasure was so intense that it clashed with his own cultivation, making the refining process extremely difficult and taking countless years.

But this exquisite purple-gold pagoda suited him perfectly.

This pagoda is mainly for suppressing and calming the mind, and its Taoist principles are quite similar to those of the path of virtue and fortune.

As soon as the pure energy of virtue touched the tower, the forty-three innate restrictions not only did not resist, but also seemed to feel a sense of closeness.

The golden light and pure energy blended together, and their operation was surprisingly smooth.

Xuan Yao felt much calmer and immediately focused his mind to refine the essence layer by layer.

The first barrier was breached in just a few decades.

The second and third steps also went smoothly and without any obstacles.

After the fourth level, the laws within the restriction gradually became more profound, like tangled threads that could no longer be easily untangled.

Xuan Yao was not in a hurry. He simply transformed his magical power into a fine stream, supplemented by the gentle warmth of his blessings, and gradually honed it.

Although it was mentally taxing, it remained stable and there was no risk of backlash.

This process of refinement lasted for another three thousand years.

Three thousand years later, in the secret chamber of Qingxuan Cave, a clear and melodious Daoist sound suddenly rang out, neither like a bell nor a chime, echoing endlessly.

Xuan Yao suddenly opened his eyes.

The purple-gold pagoda hanging overhead shone brightly, and the sixth innate restriction was finally completely refined.

The purple-gold radiance cascaded down like a waterfall, merging with the pure and virtuous energy within his spiritual center, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

At the same time, a faint, mysterious sensation emanated from the depths of the pagoda, pointing directly to the true spirit.

After refining the six restrictions, this top-grade innate spiritual treasure was considered to have initially recognized its master and could then display some of its true power.

At this very moment, another change occurred within Xuan Yao's body.

The purple-gold light descended from the spiritual platform and entered the dantian's sea of ​​qi. Within the sea of ​​qi, the originally steadily flowing Taiyi Five Qi was stimulated by the Daoist aura of this spiritual treasure, and immediately began to vibrate.

Xuan Yao felt a rumbling in his stomach.

The earth-based foundation, forged from the soil of merit and virtue, was nourished by the purple-gold light and expanded on its own.

Within the spleen palace, the Qi of Earth surged forth, and in the blink of an eye, following the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, it flowed into the lung palace.

Earth produces metal.

Within the Lung Palace, the Geng Metal, originally a malevolent element, gains strength from the Earth element, instantly becoming even more powerful, and then moves into the Kidney Palace.

Metal generates water.

The Ren water in the Kidney Palace surges like a tide, and then enters the Liver Palace.

Aquatic wood.

When the liver's wood energy is nourished by water, it becomes vigorous and full of vitality, eventually transforming into fuel for a fire that ignites the heart's red fire.

Wood generates fire.

In an instant, the five elements of earth, metal, water, wood, and fire flowed and circulated endlessly.

The five-colored light surged through Xuan Yao's chest and abdomen, pushing his Taiyi magical power higher and higher.

Xuan Yao looked inward at himself, his heart filled with mixed joy and surprise.

He could clearly feel that his perception of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth was much clearer than before he went into seclusion.

This is the advantage of having a natural foundation.

After the calamity in the East Sea, he washed away the impurities of his acquired nature and transformed into a being of innate nature.

The difference wasn't very noticeable on ordinary days, but once you reach this level of refinement and comprehension of the laws, the distinction becomes apparent.

If he still had that acquired Black Tiger body, and wanted to hone the Taiyi Five Qi to this level and reach the threshold of the mid-stage Taiyi, he would have to endure tens of thousands of years of hard work.

Now, thanks to the opportunity to refine the Linglong Pagoda, most of the years of hard work have been saved in just three thousand years.

not only that.

Deep within his sea of ​​consciousness, the Northern Heaven Star Lord's Dharma Seal was also slightly warming up. As the Dharma Seal operated, it was drawing down a wisp of vast stellar fortune from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

This demonic aura is usually invisible and intangible, making it difficult to detect.

But when the time for breaking through comes, it is like spring rain nourishing all things, silently smoothing out all the obstacles.

Whenever Xuan Yao comprehends the principles of the Five Elements and encounters difficulties, the Qi of the stars quietly flows, making the operation of his magic power more and more harmonious, without any more obstruction.

Such is the foundation, such is the fortune, and such is the spiritual treasure.

With all sorts of opportunities converging upon him, Xuan Yao suddenly gained a clear understanding.

He simply stopped suppressing the churning five energies within his body and instead used the magic seals to draw all the refined restrictive power from the Purple Gold Exquisite Pagoda into his dantian.

In an instant, the purple-gold light and the five-colored light of the Dao converged in the center of the Qi Sea.

This time, there was no fierce collision. Instead, it was as if a lock had met a key. With just a gentle turn, the barrier between the early and middle stages of the Taiyi realm was quietly opened.

It felt as if an invisible shackle had shattered beside Xuan Yao's ear.

The next moment, his aura suddenly surged.

Five dazzling divine lights emanated from his body, illuminating the entire secret chamber of the cold pool, making it as clear as a crystal-clear realm.

The Taiyi Dao Wheel behind his head also expanded, transforming from its original size of about one foot to a size of about ten feet in the blink of an eye.

Within the Dao Wheel, the Five Elements flow ceaselessly, and the pure Qi of blessings and the mysterious black tiger intertwine to form the Tai Chi symbol, with purple-gold treasure light appearing and disappearing within, making it even more profound.

Compared to when it first entered Taiyi, this Dao Wheel has become much more solid, and the Dao charm and power emanating from it are incomparable to what they were before.

Mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Xuan Yao slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which rose into the air and transformed into a five-colored lotus flower that lingered for a long time.

He opened his eyes again, feeling the boundless and endless magical power within his body, and finally a faint smile appeared on his lips.
