Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 132, Section 131: The Power of the Realm, Distributing Holy Positions

Seeing the gazes of the saints, Ji Yuan no longer concealed himself. With a wave of his hand, he unleashed more than a dozen divine powers. The saints grasped them in their hands and were immediately empowered with a power akin to creation.

"This is the right of the performing arts."

In the present primordial true world, the real and the illusory are combined and integrated. Incense and faith no longer flow into the illusory realm, but are directly entrusted to people or things of the myriad spirits. The power of the realm can mobilize this illusory power to the greatest extent, which greatly enhances both the practice of Tao and the creation of things.

"You can use this authority to transform the illusory into the real and evolve your own unique 'sacred beast'. You can freely add your own ideas and create anything you want."

Ji Yuan explained to the saints the use of his power over the evolutionary realm. He explained that the Mountain and Sea Realm was created by him through the process of stitching and guiding it. He had the greatest control over the Mountain and Sea Realm, and the Chaos World in the Chaos Pearl also bore his imprint. Therefore, in the Primordial True Realm, his authority could be said to be the highest.

The power to perform is unique to Ji Yuan and can provide tremendous assistance in the transformation between the virtual and the real.

"Nephew, can I create another version of myself?"

Zhunti, who was standing to the side, had created a golden Bodhi tree sapling after obtaining the power of the world of performance. Looking at the sapling growing strong, he asked Ji Yuan a question.

“Yes, but if you create yourself, then you need to inject your own will into it, which would eliminate the variables. I still suggest creating a beast form, so that the proportion of ferocious beasts in the world can be divided.”

Ji Yuan answered Zhunti's question.

Zhunti quickly restored the seedling to its original state, turning it into a ball of light. He didn't want anything predetermined; the more unpredictable fate was, the better.

Afterwards, Ji Yuan answered the sages' questions and then went to Wanshou Mountain, where Zhen Yuanzi was located.

When fate divided the two continents, many beings on the Western Continent moved their entire dojos here, and Zhen Yuanzi was no exception. Moreover, nourished by the stronger earth energy after the unification of the three realms, Wanshou Mountain grew many times over, stretching across the continent like a divine pillar reaching the heavens.

Upon arriving at Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi was playing chess and drinking tea with a middle-aged man, while a young boy of extraordinary bloodline was happily playing in the mud nearby.

"Uncle-Master, Fellow Daoist Shi Qilin seems to have a refined interest."

The one playing chess with Zhen Yuanzi was the returned First Qilin.

Only after Ji Yuan finished speaking did the two of them suddenly realize that Ji Yuan had walked in front of them, and they quickly stood up.

“Nephew, you came to your master’s territory without informing him. Your master should have made proper preparations.”

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled, but was inwardly quite surprised. If Ji Yuan hadn't spoken, he wouldn't have even noticed that he had arrived. It seemed that Ji Yuan's cultivation level had reached an unfathomable level.

Shi Qilin also looked at Ji Yuan with surprise. This junior was too outrageous. It was truly a case of the new generation surpassing the old, and the old generation dying on the beach.

"Uncle-Master, there's no need for that. I've come here to discuss important matters."

The number of people who can evolve into sacred beasts is still insufficient, so Ji Yuan plans to find some more powerful beings who can become saints.

Upon hearing that there was something important, Zhen Yuanzi quickly invited Ji Yuan into the Wuzhuang Temple. Originally, Shi Qilin was about to leave, but Ji Yuan kept him there, as Shi Qilin had been practicing Taoism for a long time and could also be of assistance.

Upon entering Wuzhuang Temple, a wondrous sight unfolded: the ginseng fruit tree exuded Daoist energy, surrounded by earthly qi, and several rays of spiritual light flashed, clearly indicating a precursor to advancing to the Chaos Spiritual Root.

"Uncle-Master, when the ginseng fruit tree bears its first fruit, can you give it to me?"

Ji Yuan planned to enlighten the first ginseng fruit so that it could become a disciple on the journey to the west.

"It's impossible."

Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "It's just a fruit, nothing to worry about."

The three sat together on the prayer mats, and Zhen Yuanzi asked:
"What important matter does my junior brother have to discuss with me?"

Ji Yuan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"Does Uncle-Master have any intention of inheriting the position of Earthly Saint?"

"The throne."

Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a moment, then said:

“In the past, I would naturally have had this idea, but now the earth's energy has evolved more powerfully, and the Earth Book has also been sublimated. I want to attain the Great Golden Immortal of Primordial Chaos, and the position of Saint has become a shackle.”

After listening to Zhen Yuanzi's words, Ji Yuan shook his head and chuckled softly:
"It seems that my martial uncle has not yet grasped the essence of it."

"Now, the Earth and Human Paths have absorbed the original source of the Heavenly Dao to replenish themselves, and have also been blessed by the original sources of the Chaos Realm and the Mountain and Sea Realm, thus sublimating to an incredible level. The Saintly Position they have evolved is not a shackle, but a tremendous help!"

It should be understood that the current Primordial Realm can be described as a mythical Primordial Realm, where the Heavenly Dao no longer exists, and all paths emerge simultaneously, allowing one to determine one's actions entirely by heart.

The holy positions of the Earth and Human Paths are not just simple karmic positions. To put it simply, the current holy positions not only allow people to possess the great power of a Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal in the Primordial True World, but also have the characteristic of accelerating their own attainment of the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal. In reality, there are only benefits and no drawbacks.

"Is what you say true, nephew?"

Zhen Yuanzi looked surprised. To be honest, since the unification of the three realms, he has received many benefits, including the fortune of the Lord of Mount Tai, the fortune of Mount Tai's mountains and rivers, and the blessing after the sublimation of the earth's veins.

Times have changed. With an exceptionally strong foundation, it is natural to aspire to forge an exceptional path.

Now, after hearing what Ji Yuan said, he was deeply moved. He didn't ask for much in his life, nothing more than fellow Daoists and the attainment of the Dao.

"Of course, I'm the one who promoted the unification of the three realms, would I lie to my uncle?"

Ji Yuan understood Zhen Yuanzi's thoughts: in the pursuit of the Dao, every step requires caution.

"Okay, I'll take it."

Zhen Yuanzi still trusted Ji Yuan implicitly and decided to directly assume the position of Earthly Saint.

"Is there anything I can do for you, my junior apprentice?"

Zhen Yuanzi knew that Ji Yuan's visit must have been for more than just this one thing.

Ji Yuan then told Zhen Yuanzi about the evolution of the ferocious beasts in the Western Continent.

Zhen Yuanzi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. No wonder the primordial world shook so violently earlier."

"It is my responsibility to protect the Primordial True Realm!"

Then he let out a long howl:
"The abode of immortals who live forever, the home of Taoists who live as long as the Tao."

As soon as the words fell, ripples arose in the netherworld, the underground passage displayed its divine power, and all living beings in the primordial world felt it.

In the vast land, a karmic position imbued with boundless power emerged and instantly merged with Zhen Yuanzi. At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi attained sainthood.

But the changes were not over yet. As if blessed by the Earthly Realm, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly broke through that threshold.

Creation is mysterious and profound, the Great Dao is boundless and mysterious.

The primordial earth veins seem to have undergone some kind of change, and the primordial world itself seems to have become a little stronger.

On the same day, Zhen Yuanzi not only ascended to the holy position but also attained the Primordial Dao Fruit. The earth resounded with hymns of praise, celebrating the birth of this Primordial Golden Immortal who was deeply connected to the earth.

The Earth Book also appeared at this moment, instantly falling into the depths of the earth's veins, seemingly undergoing some kind of transformation that transcends limits.

Zhen Yuanzi, holding a whisk, laughed heartily:

"Thank you, junior nephew. So today is the day I will attain enlightenment. If it weren't for you, I would have missed it."

"Haha, perhaps this is fate."

Ji Yuan also burst into laughter.

Then he turned his gaze to the First Qilin.

"Fellow Daoist Shi Qilin, are you willing to accept the Saintly position?"

The First Qilin has been enlightened for a long time. Although the world has changed, his strength is still extremely strong and he is qualified to assume the position of saint.

"This……"

Shi Qilin hesitated for a moment.

"Although I am extremely tempted, I lack virtue in the Dao, how can I possibly inherit the holy position? To be unworthy of the position would be a disaster." Hearing the words of the First Qilin, Ji Yuan smiled and shook his head.

"That is incorrect. You should know that you can also reverse cause and effect, first suffer the effect and then repay the cause, and when you achieve sainthood, you repay the cause and effect. It is the same."

"Can it still be like this?"

Shi Qilin was stunned. Could he really borrow money directly?

"That's natural. As long as Fellow Daoist Shi Qilin is willing, you can directly receive the Earthly Saint Position."

Ji Yuan smiled and, given his position in the region, he could naturally make this promise, granting Shi Qilin a holy position on credit.

"Then I accept!"

With Ji Yuan's promise, Shi Qilin readily accepted, for opportunities to glimpse the Primordial Chaos were few and far between.

"it is good!"

With a thought, Ji Yuan instantly transformed the underground passage into a sacred seat, which merged with the Primordial Qilin in a flash.

Before long, the First Qilin became a Dao Saint. As for achieving the Primordial Dao Fruit, it may take some more time.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan."

The First Qilin raised his hand in a salute.

"Haha, no need for formalities. I'll give this to you. The instructions on how to use it are all contained within. I still have some things to do."

After handing over the power of the Realm of Interpretation to Zhen Yuanzi and the First Qilin, Ji Yuan headed towards the Netherworld.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, what is Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan's cultivation level?"

After Ji Yuan left, Shi Qilin quietly asked Zhen Yuanzi, who had improved in all aspects after assuming the Saintly position. In his eyes, Ji Yuan's realm was very strange and he couldn't understand it at all.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled mysteriously:
"He walked a path that no one had ever truly walked before. The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. His realm can no longer be categorized using the current system."

The First Qilin nodded as if it understood, truly worthy of being the figure who facilitated the ascension of the Primordial World.

At this moment, Ji Yuan had already arrived in the Netherworld, reaching the eighteenth level of Hell.

In the eighteen levels of hell, countless vengeful spirits roam, their cries of sorrow echoing everywhere. At the very center, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stands with his eyes closed, hands clasped in prayer, chanting scriptures. Golden light descends, transforming into golden lotuses, and guides one vengeful spirit after another, demonstrating that he has cultivated Buddhism to its highest level and forged his own path.

Even so, it is still impossible to escape hell.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, you've arrived."

Ksitigarbha opened his eyes, tears welling up within them.

"I have failed everyone's expectations. It was so difficult to get through hell. Even the vastness of Buddhism could not overcome the boundless purgatory."

Ji Yuan shook his head and said softly:

"When the Primordial True Realm transcends, it will be the day when all hells are slain. Ksitigarbha, are you willing to contribute even a little to the Primordial Realm's liberation?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light appeared in Ksitigarbha's eyes, and he quietly looked at Ji Yuan:

"Will that day really come?"

Ji Yuan nodded firmly:

"When that day comes, the primordial chaos will be transcended, all spirits will be sublimated, and the present world will become a Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, where no resentment will arise, and hell will naturally come to an end."

"Amitabha."

Ksitigarbha's gaze became extremely firm, his aura became obscure and vast, and golden light emanated from his body, forming eighteen chains that firmly bound him.

This is the great vow that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once made: "I will not become a Buddha until hell is empty; I will not ascend to the Pure Land until the resentment dissipates; I will not attain Bodhi until all sentient beings are liberated."

However, that was a vow made to the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao's death would not have affected him, but Ksitigarbha still turned it into chains to remind himself that this was his grand ambition and his path of cultivation.

Now that the crucial moment has arrived, it is time to break free of shackles and realize one's true self.

With a single thought, the shackles shattered, and in an instant, Ksitigarbha completed his ultimate leap, attaining the status of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

At the same time, the Earthly Path also descended and merged with it, and Ksitigarbha attained the Great Luo Dao Fruit and the karmic status of a saint at this moment.

"Praise be to the compassionate and merciful Ksitigarbha Buddha, praise be to the compassionate and merciful Ksitigarbha Buddha..."

Suddenly, praises rang out from the void, all cheering for his enlightenment.

Under the baptism of the Primordial Dao Fruit, the Six-Ringed Staff and the Mani Pearl were sublimated, transcending layer by layer, and were promoted to innate supreme treasures.

"Amitabha."

Ksitigarbha pressed down with one hand, and the Buddha's light shone everywhere, wiping away all the vengeful spirits in the nineteen levels of hell. However, this was only a temporary solution and not a cure.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, then I'll be off."

In Ksitigarbha's eyes, the aura of the saints was extremely conspicuous, so he should go there immediately.

"Wait a minute."

Ji Yuan stopped Dizang and handed over the power of the Realm of Interpretation to him before letting him leave.

"As expected of Ksitigarbha, the only thing that has ever trapped him is himself."

Ji Yuan leaped directly to the White Tiger Cave and succinctly explained everything. The White Tiger gladly accepted the Earthly Saint position, and the Eastern Continent gained another saint.

Then they arrived at the phoenix tree, the strongest phoenix tree after the unification of the three realms. It had clearly surpassed its original limits and become a top-grade innate spiritual root.

There is a wooden house above, which is the location of Suzaku Ryoko.

With the same concise explanation, Ling Guang readily agreed. Under Ji Yuan's control, he inherited the Humanity Saintly Position, transformed into the human race's totem, took over the power of the Realm of Evolution, and went to the Jianmu Tree.

Once again, we crossed an endless distance to reach the North Sea we once knew.

The enormous Xuanwu body was coiled on the sea surface, while Zhiming had his eyes closed and was sleeping.

“Lord Zhiming, I have come to fulfill my promise.”

Ji Yuan's words startled Zhi Ming.

"How did you appear out of nowhere? You scared me!"

Zhiming transformed into human form and patted his chest.

"Isn't this to fulfill a promise, Lord Zhiming?"

With a wave of his hand, Ji Yuan conjured the Holy Throne of Humanity in his palm. Within the human realm, he represented almost everything, and could give the Holy Throne to whomever he wished.

Zhi Ming calmly accepted the throne, and said irritably:
"Your saintly position isn't easy to obtain. I've been working for the Heavenly Dao and vanquishing demons across the world, and now I'm being tied to the Human Dao. Am I going to become your henchman again?"

“Hey, Lord Zhiming, you are mistaken. The current holy positions of the Earth and Human Paths are different from the former holy positions of the Heaven Path. They will not force you to do anything.”

Ji Yuan laughed heartily, somewhat embarrassed. Among the Four Divine Beasts, the Black Tortoise, which holds the most Heavenly Stems, is the one that holds the most Heavenly Stems.

"Oh? Then I'll have to give it a try."

Zhi Ming shook his head and merged with the Human Saint's position without hesitation.

The next moment, under the influence of an inexplicable force, Zhiming's expression changed drastically, and he understood everything.
