Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 39. Shattering the Golden Cicada's Dream with a Single Punch
The Heavenly Thunder is the origin of all thunder, and in the vast primordial world, there are only a handful of people who can wield this thunder technique.

Although Ji Yuan's Heavenly Thunder was only an incomplete version, the fact that a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal could unleash it still surprised Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Hahaha."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader smiled and said, "Now you know how good my eye is at choosing disciples."

Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent, too lazy to argue with him, since discussing the Dao with his disciples was not their purpose for this trip.

"Let Xuandu and Ji Yuan have a discussion."

The voice of Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) rang out from the side.

Xuan Du, who was sleeping below, suddenly woke up. He wasn't actually sleeping; rather, he had been practicing a method of performing the Dao in a dream to be lazy, and the battles of the three sects were all presented in his dream.

Xuandu said to Ji Yuan, "Ji Yuan, come and discuss this with me."

Ji Yuanfei stepped forward, quite pleased: "Let's give it a try."

He hadn't seen Xuandu for tens of thousands of years, and thinking back to his days among humans, it felt like just yesterday.

He also wanted to test the prowess of this first disciple of the Human Sect.

The two sides stood opposite each other.

Xuandu made the first move.

Without any fancy moves, it was just a simple punch, yet it perfectly combined the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth. The dazzling fist light ignored the constraints of space and arrived above Ji Yuan's head in an instant.

Ji Yuan chuckled, a hazy, chaotic light swirling around his fist as it collided with the Yin-Yang Two Qi Fist.

Instantly, the Yin and Yang energies dissipated, and the chaotic fist light also turned into nothingness.

The next moment, a series of Daoist sounds resounded in this cave, and several Great Daos appeared, making all the disciples present realize the truth.

Ji Yuan actually revealed all of his cultivation methods.

This is true discourse!
They expound on the great principles to each other and verify each other's truths. Fighting each other only allows them to see the surface and not to understand the essence.

Influenced by Ji Yuan, all the disciples of the three religions demonstrated their own cultivation methods.

Within the grotto, myriad sounds resonated, accompanied by celestial music.

Ji Yuan smiled and quietly comprehended the profound light within his mind, which grew increasingly deep.

"Hahaha."

Laozi stroked his beard and laughed, "Ji Yuan is truly a remarkable fellow."

He certainly knew that Ji Yuan cultivated the Dao of "All Things Become One" in Taiyi, and that Ji Yuan had led all the immortals to expound the Dao. He wondered how many profound mysteries of the Great Dao he would comprehend this time.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable also displayed extraordinary talents.

The Tongtian Sect Leader, radiant with pride, said calmly, "My disciples should naturally possess this kind of spirit!"

Even in a time when everyone is happy, there are still those who don't fit in.

On the other side, the Western Sect members watched quietly as the immortals discussed the Dao, and none of the disciples under the two saints participated in the discussion.

As Jieyin looked at the people from the three sects, a wave of bitterness welled up in his heart, especially when he saw Ji Yuan, the bitterness in his heart became even stronger.

He also wanted his disciples to participate, but unfortunately, all of his disciples were transformed from ferocious beasts. They were only able to maintain their human form because they were suppressing their true nature, let alone discussing the Dao.

"Ji Yuan is truly a promising talent. It would be wonderful if he could join our Western Religion."

But he could only dream about it.

Jieyin could sense that Ji Yuan had the protective marks of three saints and profound merits on him. If he forcibly guided Ji Yuan into the sect, he might have to go through a cycle of reincarnation.

Spring passes and winter comes.

The immortals were all of similar cultivation levels, and the discussion on the Dao lasted only ten years, but there were still many gains.

As Ji Yuan opened his eyes, the immortals of the three religions also opened their eyes. The ten years of discussions on the Dao had truly benefited them greatly.

After thanking Ji Yuan, the immortals withdrew. Xuan Du also slowly walked out, muttering to himself as he went:

"I lost."

Ji Yuan, who was once so feared even by the tribes, now has the appearance of a senior disciple of the three religions, which makes Xuan Du sigh repeatedly.

As Ji Yuan watched Xuan Du leave, a smile curved his lips.

“Quietness and inaction—Xuandu is naturally in harmony with the Supreme Dao.” Ji Yuan turned to leave, but unexpectedly a fierce voice rang out:

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, may I discuss the art of combat with you?"

Turning around, he saw a bald, burly man staring intently at him, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

Ji Yuan could tell at a glance that he was not human, but a ferocious beast.

It is the six-winged golden cicada, one of the five insects, and the previous incarnation of Tang Sanzang in the five-person group of Journey to the West.

Many thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan's mind, but in the end, they all boiled down to one word: "Good!"

Seeing that Ji Yuan agreed to fight, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada's eyes gleamed even more fiercely.

He was forcibly converted to Western religion by Zhunti, which was a time of great distress for him.

"I'll deliberately kill this dead Taoist priest by accident later, so that those saints can kill those two bald monks, and then I'll suck their blood dry."

The six-winged golden cicada thought to itself.

Little did he know that he had underestimated Ji Yuan, overestimated himself, and completely disregarded the power of a sage.

Ji Yuan gave a practiced bow: "May I ask your Daoist name, friend?"

The six-winged golden cicada was taken aback and blurted out, "Golden Cicada."

"it is good!"

"Fellow Daoist Jin Chan, please..."

Before he could finish speaking, the six-winged golden cicada threw a punch, but Ji Yuan instantly transformed into a gentle breeze and lightly dodged the attack.

"This guy has no sportsmanship."

The six-winged golden cicada didn't care about any of that and just kept throwing punches at Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan remained unchanged amidst all changes, always transforming into a gentle breeze to evade the attack by the slightest margin.

Before long, the six-winged cicada became impatient.

He shouted, "If you've got the guts, don't hide! What kind of disciple of a great sect are you, always hiding like this?"

Seeing the Golden Cicada's anger, Ji Yuan stopped in his tracks, staring at the six-winged Golden Cicada with a smile on his lips.

Seeing Ji Yuan's joking expression, the Six-Winged Golden Cicada felt its three corpses flare up violently. It gathered a monstrous blood energy in its hands, and the mouthparts of some kind of insect seemed to manifest between its five fingers.

He charged towards Ji Yuan with unstoppable momentum.

Ji Yuan stood still, gathered his strength, and threw a punch to meet the attack.

Soon, the six-winged cicada's expression changed from anger to horror and finally to pain.

Because his arm had been shattered into dust during his clash with Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan's physical body was nourished by the Xuanhuang Mother Qi, washed by the four powers, tempered by the Innate Thunder Pool, and further enhanced by the Baxia ability. Its strength had already reached the level of the Great Luo.

Even though the six-winged golden cicada is a chaotic and unusual species, it is ultimately just a Taiyi.

"what!"

The six-winged golden cicada let out a roar and charged forward again, intending to fight Ji Yuan once more.

Ji Yuan shook his head and caught the incoming fist with one hand.

The six-winged cicada wanted to break free, but it felt as if it wasn't being controlled by flesh and blood.

It's a mountain!

It was a dark and yellow divine mountain pressing down.

The immense physical power pressed down on him, causing his blood to surge and his eyes to turn bloodshot, as if he were about to transform into his true form.

Ji Yuan quickly punched him, using one-tenth of his power in the Heavenly Thunder, which finally knocked the Six-Winged Golden Cicada unconscious.

At this moment, Zhunti lowered his gaze from the clouds and solemnly said, "My disciple is a ferocious beast in human form, born with extraordinary ferocity. With this whipping from young friend Ji Yuan, his ferocity has been diminished, which is indeed his good fortune."

He then took the six-winged cicada to treat its injuries.

Ji Yuan nodded and returned to his seat. At that moment, he heard Ao Run's voice.
