Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 134, Section 133: Human Perfection, Repaying Karma, The Origin of the World
The Dragon Palace became even more luxurious and exquisite after the return of the Ancestral Dragon, with dense arrays and radiant divine light.

"Ao Guang, is the First Emperor still alive?"

"There is only one dragon, Ao Guang, in the Dragon Palace," Ji Yuan asked.

"Ji Yuan".

Ao Guang was overjoyed and extremely happy about Ji Yuan's arrival.

"Our ancestor is researching his so-called Great Dao in the deepest part of the Dragon Palace. Come with me quickly."

Ao Guang showed no signs of unfamiliarity and quickly led Ji Yuan deeper into the Dragon Palace.

The deeper one goes, the stronger that inexplicable life force becomes. To be precise, it is the same power of the Great Dao as the Great Dao of Procreation, the power of the Great Dao that the Mountain and Sea Realm evolved and gave to the Ancestral Dragon.

"Fellow Daoist Zulong, I apologize for disturbing you."

At this moment, the ancestral dragon coiled up, its vast vitality overflowing, and the surrounding seawater seemed to be evolving into life.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan?"

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's voice, Zu Long awoke from his reverie and quickly bowed.

"This power of procreation is truly mysterious and profound. I was so engrossed in it that I couldn't extricate myself. I neglected it, I neglected it."

While apologizing, Zu Long transformed into a tall human form with two horns on his head.

"What brings Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan here? I will certainly do my utmost to assist you."

Zu Long took out the finest Enlightenment Tea, brewed a cup for Ji Yuan, and slowly asked.

Ji Yuan took a sip of tea and said softly:

"I would like to ask you to assume the holy position of humanity, to give back to humanity, to elevate humanity, and to resist the recent events in the Western continent."

"no problem!"

Zu Long readily agreed; he hadn't expected such a good thing to happen.

Ji Yuan handed over the Humanity Saintly Position and the power of the Realm of Manifestation to the Ancestral Dragon, inquired about the location of the Azure Dragon, and then hurriedly left.

In the blink of an eye, they crossed the endless sea and arrived at the place where the Azure Dragon was. Now that the dragon clan's karma has been completely eliminated, the three realms are united and thriving, and the Azure Dragon no longer has the responsibility of suppressing the four poles, so he has a rare moment of leisure.

At this moment, he was sleeping soundly, coiled around a towering vine that rose from the seabed.

"Lord Mengzhang, how have you been?"

The sudden remark startled Meng Zhang. He opened his eyes and saw Ji Yuan staring intently at the divine vine beneath him.

"What, Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, have taken a fancy to my divine vine?"

Lord Mengzhang chuckled, his enormous body twisting as endless vitality flowed into the divine vine beneath him, and boundless chaotic light scattered in all directions.

Seven gourds appeared at the top of the vine. Upon closer inspection, they were five gourds representing the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) and two gourds representing yin and yang and chaos. Only the five element gourds exuded vitality, while the yin and yang and chaos gourds emanated the aura of a supreme treasure born from the creation of heaven and earth.

Ji Yuan snapped out of his daze and looked at Meng Zhang:
"The Divine Lord is indeed very lucky. This vine absorbs the earth energy of two continents and combines it with the energy of the heavens and the sea. The fusion of the three is truly a wonderful treasure."

Under Ji Yuan's flattery, Meng Zhang showed an extremely pleased expression.

"Not at all, fellow Daoist, please choose whichever gourd you wish to take."

Meng Zhang said boldly.

Ji Yuan's eyes lit up, and he spoke frankly:
"To be honest, I want the three gourds of gold, water, and earth, to be transformed into disciples in the future, so that they may be the chosen ones on the journey to the west."

Originally, the journey to the West in the timeline was associated with the Monkey King, the Horse of the Mind, the Golden Lord, the Wooden Mother, and the Yellow Woman. Now, there is a monkey representing the Monkey King and a Bodhi tree representing the Wooden Mother. If these three gourds are placed on the Bodhi tree to be nurtured, they will eventually be enlightened and emerge. When the five elements are gathered and unified, the journey to the West will have a better chance of success.

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Meng Zhang felt a pang of heartache when he heard that Ji Yuan wanted three gourds. But when he heard that it was for the journey to the west, he immediately stopped feeling heartache. The journey to the west was related to the life and death of many beings in the primordial true world, as well as the key to the enlightenment of great supernatural beings.

If the gourd that grows from my precious divine vine can travel the journey to the west, then I will naturally also gain a great share of karma. That would be incredible!

Thinking of this, Meng Zhang immediately said:
"No problem, Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan. I will send it to you once it is fully gestated."

"No need for that. You can give it to me after we finish discussing this matter. I will plant it in the place of the chosen one and share the destiny with him."

Ji Yuan was already quite impatient.

Meng Zhang nodded:
"It's impossible."

"Then what brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

Ji Yuan condensed a humanistic position in his hands:
"We humbly request that the Divine Lord assume the sacred position of humanity and help elevate humanity."

"it is good!"

Meng Zhang didn't hesitate; Ji Yuan's words were indeed credible.

With the power of his human karma empowering him, Meng Zhang crossed the threshold in an instant, making a final leap to reach the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. For these former super-powerful beings, Hunyuan Daluo was only a matter of a single opportunity.

"I never expected that I would finally step into the Primordial Chaos Gate."

Meng Zhang sighed deeply. From the once glorious Azure Dragon God, to the Four Extremes Prisoner under the Heavenly Dao, and now to the Primordial Grand Luo, his life had truly been a series of ups and downs.

After Meng Zhang's breathing stabilized, Ji Yuan asked again:

"I wonder if the wisp of the Thunder Dragon God's true spirit is with the Divine Lord?"

Meng Zhang was shocked to hear this. He hadn't expected that even though he had hidden it so well, Ji Yuan had still managed to find out.

"Indeed, he is here with me. He died in a battle with Taiyi, and later, following my advice, he left Lei Ze to you. His true spirit has been with me ever since. Now, fellow Daoist, are you seeking his true spirit to help him reincarnate?"

Ji Yuan shook his head:

"No, he has a better place to go. This is the karma I should repay."

Lei Ze played a significant role in Ji Yuan's early development. Both the numerous lightning bolts within it and its immense power laid a solid foundation for him.

Ji Yuan then handed over a portion of the power of the Realm of Performance to Meng Zhang, and after informing Meng Zhang of everything he needed to do, Meng Zhang transformed into a beam of emerald light and arrived on the Tongtian Jianmu tree in an instant.

With a wave of his hand, Ji Yuan sent the three gourds into the vast world within his body. With a flick of his finger, the true spirit of the Thunder Dragon God fell into a pool surrounded by nine majestic auras in the boundless earth.

"The Three Sovereigns, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, Ancestral Dragon, Azure Dragon, and Goddess Nuwa—humanity is only one saintly position away from being able to ascend."

Ji Yuan looked at the towering Jianmu tree that stretched from the sky to the earth, and with a light leap, he arrived at Huaguo Mountain.

With a thought, a branch sprouted from the Bodhi tree. The three gourds were placed on it, and they naturally blended into the Bodhi tree, hanging under it as if perfectly formed by nature.

At that moment, the Bodhi tree, the five-colored stone, and the three gourds seemed to resonate with each other, and the five elements blended together, causing a dramatic change in the entire Flower Fruit Mountain.

"It seems the monkeys will be born sooner than expected."

Seeing this scene before him, Ji Yuan waved his hands, and boundless creative energy descended, further solidifying their foundation and laying the best foundation for them.

Then, looking up at the towering Jianmu tree, he leaped lightly and arrived at its summit. There, he saw Yuan Feng talking to Kong Xuan.

"Fellow Taoist Yuanfeng."

Ji Yuan raised his hand in a salute.

Unexpectedly, this startled the mother and daughter. Kong Xuan glanced at Ji Yuan, her face slightly flushed, and then she flew towards the primordial land in a flash.

Ji Yuan stared in the direction Kong Xuan had gone, somewhat bewildered.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, how did you manage to be so quiet? You gave me quite a fright."

Yuan Feng smiled.

"I'm used to it, but I've startled you, fellow Daoist."

Ji Yuan didn't know what to say. Wasn't the sound of him rushing through the air loud enough when he arrived? He wondered what Yuan Feng and Kong Xuan were talking about, so engrossed in their conversation.

"What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

Yuan Feng spread her wings. She actually had a vague guess that the various primordial energies in the center of the Jianmu tree were not hidden at all.

"I think you already know, fellow Daoist."

Ji Yuan said softly, "There are many Great Luo auras in the center of the Jianmu tree. I suppose Yuan Feng should know about it too."

"it is good!"

Yuan Feng didn't hesitate. So many like-minded people had agreed, so she had nothing more to say.

As the Human Dao Saintly position entered her body, Yuan Feng simultaneously attained the positions of Hunyuan Daluo and Saint. Ji Yuan entrusted her with a wisp of the power of the Realm of Interpretation, which transformed into a beam of fire and fell into the center of the Jianmu tree.

The nine sages of humanity returned to their positions and began to gradually ascend. Ji Yuan flicked his finger, and the true spirit of the Xuan Turtle fell into the pool constructed by humanity.

In fact, if it weren't for the urgent circumstances, the distribution of these holy positions shouldn't be like this. The current distribution of holy positions is actually somewhat wasteful. Many great supernatural beings can attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan without needing a holy position, only after fully absorbing the many powers brought about by the unification of the Three Realms.

The best course of action would be to distribute the remaining holy positions to the disciples of the three religions. Unfortunately, the disciples of the three religions have not yet severed their three corpses and are therefore unable to inherit the holy positions. Furthermore, the Western ferocious beasts are about to evolve, so this method has to be used.

Ji Yuan had a premonition that there would be a great calamity before the Journey to the West. Fate is unpredictable and will eventually change. He did not believe that fate would simply wait until the start of the Journey to the West.

"Now, we can go find the Ancestral Witches."

Ji Yuan lowered his gaze and looked towards the Witch Realm.

.........

In the Witch Realm, the Witch Clan no longer cultivates malevolent energy. Instead, they combine the power of blood and qi cultivated by human martial arts to control malevolent energy and killing intent, thus retaining the power of malevolent energy while remaining unharmed by it.

In the very center of the witch realm stands an endless divine mountain, which was moved there by Houtu and named Witch God Mountain. The ancestral witches reside atop the mountain.

Now, in addition to the original thirteen Ancestral Witches, Da Yi, Jiu Feng, and Kua Fu have also successfully cultivated to the level of Ancestral Witches.

At the summit of Wushen Mountain, an ancient and simple hall stands, the Pangu Hall, where all the ancestral witches gather.

"So, you can truly demonstrate the power of the Pangu Palace?"

Dijiang looked at Ji Yuan in front of him, not understanding why the human race knew how to use the Pangu Temple of the Wu Clan.

"I have met the Great God Pangu more than once in the endless timeline. He taught me many methods, and now I truly understand them."

Ji Yuan's own profound skills and the Earth-Splitting Chisel were both bestowed upon him by the Great God Pangu. When the Time Demon God traveled back to the beginning of time, Pangu not only gave Ji Yuan the Earth-Splitting Chisel, but also told him the true method of the Pangu Palace.

"I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan to give it a try."

Zhu Jiuyin said impatiently, "According to Ji Yuan, this will allow the Ancestral Witches to peek into the Primordial Chaos Gate."

"it is good!"

Ji Yuan didn't say anything more. The Earth-Splitting Chisel appeared in his hand. The instant the Earth-Splitting Chisel appeared, a stone platform appeared in the center of the Pangu Palace. The mark on the stone platform was exactly the same as that on the Earth-Splitting Chisel. This was the way to demonstrate the power of the Pangu Palace. It was that simple and unadorned.

However, if the Time Demon God had not sent Ji Yuan back to the time of creation, then he would not have been able to obtain the Earth-Splitting Chisel. Without the Earth-Splitting Chisel, the true power of the Pangu Palace could not be revealed, as if every sip and every bite was predetermined.

"boom!"

The moment the earth-splitting chisel was placed, the Pangu Palace trembled violently. A slight whooshing sound was heard, and the Ancestral Witch and Ji Yuan, along with the Pangu Palace, disappeared.

At the same time, the saints who were evolving sacred beasts at the Tongtian Jianmu tree opened their eyes.

“They disappeared. Ji Yuan and the Ancestral Witches disappeared together, without a sound or a cause.”

Nuwa's eyes were solemn, and her supreme power spread throughout the entire primordial world, trying to find a trace of Ji Yuan.

The remaining sages also searched the heavens and the earth for any trace of Ji Yuan, but found nothing.

This made them somewhat anxious. Ji Yuan was the core of the unification of the three realms and the anchor of everything's stability. He couldn't afford to have anything happen to him.

"There is no need for you to worry."

It was Houtu who spoke.

"I sensed that the Pangu Palace disappeared along with them because Ji Yuan activated the true power of the Pangu Palace to search for the remnants of the Ancestral God."

Houtu was extremely confident about this. He had controlled the Pangu Palace for countless years and had long sensed the hidden power within it, but he simply couldn't access it. Now that Ji Yuan had a way, that was naturally the best, and with Ji Yuan's strength, there was no need to worry at all.

Upon hearing this, the saints were finally relieved. In the Primordial True World, Ji Yuan's position was extremely important, and the power he wielded was the highest. His assistance was indispensable in the fight against fate.

They then began to evolve the sacred beast, hoping that Ji Yuan and the others could return before their evolution was complete.

At the same time, Ji Yuan and the other Ancestral Witches of the Pangu Palace looked at each other. They could also sense that the Pangu Palace was no longer in the Primordial True Realm, but had entered the endless chaos and was moving horizontally at an unimaginable speed. Except for Ji Yuan, they all felt a pressure.

It is well known that the physical bodies of the Ancestral Witches were extremely powerful. Not to mention that now that the Three Realms have been unified, the Ancestral Witches have been empowered by various powers, and their physical bodies have reached a new level. If it weren't for their weak primordial spirits, which prevented them from achieving perfection and made it extremely difficult for them to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal status, the Witch Clan might have a dozen more Great Luo Golden Immortals.

After an unknown amount of time, the Pangu Palace finally stopped shaking, and the palace doors slowly opened. The ancestral witches peered out and were all shocked by what they saw.

This is a sea, a chaotic ocean with no end in sight and no depth in sight. Suddenly, the ancestral witches and Ji Yuan had a feeling that this was the place where the great god Pangu was born, the true source of the primordial world.

"Om~"

With a long roar, a giant fish resembling a Kun swam across the chaotic sea. Ji Yuan's expression changed; this Kun actually possessed the strength of a Primordial Golden Immortal. However, it posed no danger to him.

What's important is the splash he makes as he swims; each splash is a world unto itself.

A world filled with mechanical life, a world filled with plant life, a world where one cultivates battle qi, a world where one cultivates magical power, a world where technology evolves, a world where countless tentacles intertwine in a bloody and bizarre manner... too numerous to count, too many to see.

However, these worlds all share a common characteristic: the highest cultivation level is only that of the Great Luo, far inferior to that of the Primordial World.

"Could this be the testing ground of the Great God Pangu before he created the primordial world?"
