The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 54 The Sage Who Was Disliked, His Dao Embryo Was Completed, He Transcended Fate, and All Time and Space Became Eternal.

"Hehe, there's no other way, we have to stabilize the prehistoric world as soon as possible, the underground tunnels are still waiting to be created!"
"The Primordial World is just a top-tier Great Thousand World right now; above it lies the Chaos Primordial Chaos. You're quite the clever one, so this task is assigned to you."

Hongjun Daozu appeared beside Zhou Chen, smiling as he spoke, his previous aloofness before the Heavenly Dao Saint gone.

"No, Grandmaster, isn't this the duty of the sages? How could I, with my weak arms and legs, possibly do it?"

Zhou Chen smiled wryly.

"Why can't you do it? We old guys are here to back you up, what are you afraid of?"
My disciples don't have as much inspiration as you. They couldn't even enlighten the primordial world, let alone help it advance.

When Hongjun Daozu spoke of the several sages, he looked disgusted.

After his disciples became saints, he spent all his time thinking about expanding his sect and even suppressing others, without doing anything of substance.

Finally, they even caused a cataclysmic event, shattering the primordial world.

They didn't even consider their own identity, trying to diminish the influence of the Primordial World on themselves.

A Heavenly Sage entrusts his true spirit to the Heavenly Dao by relying on the Primordial Purple Qi. He can borrow the power of the Heavenly Dao, and the stronger the Heavenly Dao, the stronger the Sage.

The power of the Heavenly Dao comes from the entire primordial world, so the stronger the primordial world is, the stronger the Heavenly Dao will be.

In the final battle of the Investiture of the Gods, the five sages shattered the primordial world—something that was tantamount to self-harm, something most people simply couldn't do.

As for Tongtian's idea of ​​establishing Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind separately, and recreating the world, that's an operation that even someone with a brain full of water wouldn't be able to come up with.

Therefore, Hongjun did not have high expectations for his disciples, as long as they did not cause trouble.

"Well, I'll do my best."

Zhou Chen was speechless and had no choice but to agree.

"Well, hurry up and start cultivating. To be honest, I'm also quite curious about your Primordial Ancestral Qi. It took you, with your magical power and primordial spirit comparable to a saint, to condense and define a wisp of Primordial Ancestral Qi. What is so mysterious about it?"

"My primordial ancestral energy can free me from dependence on the world."

The primordial energy is one, capable of giving birth to all things. Regardless of the type of energy, the primordial energy can generate all things, and it is inexhaustible.

Regardless of the world or rules one is in, one's strength remains constant and will not change due to external factors.

"Primordial Qi is the foundation of the Dao. Once the foundation of the Dao is established, one will no longer be troubled by energy and matter, and will shift from seeking externally to seeking internally." Zhou Chen explained the mystery of Primordial Qi.

Upon hearing this, the Dao Ancestor was not particularly surprised. The method of seeking within was indeed miraculous, but it was useless to him. He had already merged with the Heavenly Dao, was a part of the Heavenly Dao, and was bound to the Primordial World. It was impossible for him to cultivate this method anymore.

Moreover, this method only seeks personal gain and is of no benefit to the world, so it cannot be spread.

“Zhou Chen, your method is indeed good, but it is of no benefit to the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World and cannot be passed on to the Primordial World,” warned Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

Zhou Chen smiled wryly and said, "Grandmaster, don't worry about that. Even if I wanted to spread the word, someone would have to be able to cultivate it! I just forcibly defined it when I escaped the timeline. How can others cultivate it?"

Hongjun nodded, then asked, "Now that you've defined the Primordial Ancestral Qi, how do you cultivate it?"

Zhou Chen sorted out his thoughts from the past few days and said, "The foundation of my Dao is complete, now it's time to forge the Dao embryo. Once the Dao embryo is perfected, my Qi cultivation will be complete. As for what comes after that, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Alright, you should continue cultivating! Once you've formed your Dao Embryo, go to the Primordial World to stabilize it, and then prepare for the emergence of the Underground Path." After the Dao Ancestor finished speaking, his figure disappeared. Zhou Chen pursed his lips and entered into cultivation.

The cultivation of the Dao Embryo is very simple once you have the Dao Foundation Primordial Ancestral Qi. You can directly use the Primordial Ancestral Qi to fuse with all the particles around your body and change the nature of the particles.

When all particles are essentially reduced to "one", "two" and "three" can no longer harm "one", thus creating a unique form of invulnerability.

The invulnerability to all laws does not mean invincibility, but rather that the material energy contained within "One" cannot harm it. However, it can still be harmed by things not contained within "One," such as laws and innate spiritual treasures.

Time flies by, and Zixiao Palace is shrouded in chaos, where time is unclear.

On this day, Zhou Chen finally changed the nature of all the particles, turning them into "one".

A long river formed from the fates of all living beings appeared, and a true spirit rushed out of the river and entered Zhou Chen's body; it was his true spirit.

Another long river, imbued with the spirit of time, appears, and two figures ride the waves.

A figure carrying the aura of the past, with a face identical to Zhou Chen's, only slightly youthful, seemed to have traveled downstream from the upper reaches of the river of time.

Another figure, indistinct and faceless, traveled upstream from the lower reaches of the river of time.

As the two figures converged, another figure emerged from the river of time, and the three figures stood side by side, representing Zhou Chen's past, present, and future incarnations.

San Shen and Zhou Chen exchanged a glance, then stepped out of the River of Time and merged into one with him.

From then on, Zhou Chen merged his three incarnations. There was no trace of him in the past years, nor in the future. Only the present moment remained, a traceless presence in the passage of time.

In other words, if anyone tries to find Zhou Chen's figure in the long river of time, it will be impossible, because Zhou Chen has transcended time by merging his three incarnations.

It's not that Zhou Chen isn't present in the past or future, but rather that Zhou Chen is present in the present timeline. To find Zhou Chen, you can only search within the present timeline. Going to the past or future is useless because Zhou Chen has compressed the past and future into your current timeline.

"Hey, I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain after completing the formation of the Dao Embryo! This can be considered as escaping the river of fate, gathering the past, present, and future bodies, and making all time and space eternal!"

Zhou Chen said with a smug look on his face.

……

The primordial wilderness, near the Kunlun Mountains.

White clouds drift lazily, the sky is blue and the earth is green.

A wisp of auspicious cloud drifted slowly by, its destination the Kunlun Mountains. A figure lay on the cloud, resting with its eyes closed.

This person was Zhou Chen, who had completed his cultivation of the Dao Embryo. After he succeeded, he was expelled from Zixiao Palace by the Dao Ancestor. He originally planned to come to the prehistoric world, but he "coincidentally" passed by Nuwa Palace and was "intercepted" by the Goddess Nuwa.

Everything was fine at first, and Nuwa treated him with great hospitality. But seeing that Nuwa might be a little lonely cultivating alone in the Chaos, he told her a few stories.

As a result, things spiraled out of control. Nuwa became a book fanatic, "pestering" him and urging him to update the book. He couldn't do anything about it, after all, she was an elder, and he couldn't be too presumptuous. The most important thing was that being presumptuous was useless; he couldn't beat her.

At first, it was fine; it was just storytelling. But later, people didn't want to listen anymore and wanted to watch, and that was when Zhou Chen's life became a nightmare. When others make a movie, if the characters don't fit or the plot is illogical, it's no big deal—at most, fewer people watch it, or they get a scolding. But for him, it could really get him beaten up! It's a story full of tears!
Finally, with the help of the Dao Ancestor (actually, the Dao Ancestor was getting anxious because he hadn't returned to the Primordial World yet; once the Primordial World stabilized, he could find an opportunity to emerge from the underground world), he escaped Nuwa's clutches. After returning to the Primordial World, which was quite close to Kunlun Mountain, he planned to first pay a visit to the Primordial Heavenly Venerable and taste the Jade Void Immortal Apricot.
