Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 6.6. Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Root
Ji Yuan and Daoist Duobao entered the cave directly.

Before your eyes stands a thousand-foot-tall apricot tree, its entire body a deep purple. Daoist energy flows around the apricot tree, and wind and thunder intertwine among its branches. At the top of the apricot tree are two blood-red apricots.

"Wind and thunder intertwine, and the innate energy flows."

"It's actually the top-grade innate spiritual root, the Wind and Thunder Apricot."

Daoist Duobao exclaimed in shock.

Ji Yuan knew it was Feng Lei Xing, but he didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.

The Daoist Duobao transformed into a streak of light and instantly arrived beneath the Wind and Thunder Apricot Tree. However, he didn't even glance at the two apricots. Instead, he touched the soil and rocks beneath the tree and muttered to himself:

"It's actually the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, and there's also Wind and Thunder Ore formed by the erosion of innate wind and thunder power. We're rich, we're rich!"

"Senior brother, these apricots are useless to me. Could you give me this Wind and Thunder Ore?"

Daoist Duobao blushed slightly, which was unusual for him. After all, Ji Yuan had found this place, and he felt embarrassed that he hadn't contributed anything. But this wind and thunder mine was really too rare.

Ji Yuan smiled and said, "Junior brother, you forgot I said there's also an opportunity for you here. Take it."

Daoist Duobao thanked him and immediately began mining.

Ji Yuan stepped forward and picked two Wind and Thunder Apricots. Each of these top-grade innate spiritual roots had its own unique characteristics.

Lei Zhenzi, a later generation, ate the Wind and Thunder Apricot and cultivated the Wind and Thunder Dao Body. Moreover, it was the Wind and Thunder Apricot that was the last one from Buzhou Mountain and did not contain any innate spiritual energy, which made him shine in the Investiture of the Gods.

Not knowing what was so special about this Innate Wind and Thunder Apricot, I didn't think too much about it and put the apricot into my mouth.

Ji Yuan was surrounded by surging wind and thunder, his Dao essence flowing, and countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth entered his body, helping him to elevate his realm.

"I see."

The Wind and Thunder Apricot contains a wisp of the Dao of Wind and Thunder. If one refines it, one can condense a rudimentary Dao seed for oneself.

The seed of the Dao, the seed of the Dao, only with the seed of the Dao can the fruit of the Dao be formed. This is the opportunity to open the gate of the Great Luo.

The value of this fruit far exceeded Ji Yuan's imagination. Little did he know that even hundreds of Taiyi Golden Immortals might not be able to condense a single Dao Seed. Without a Dao Seed, how could one glimpse the Great Luo realm?

Time flies when you're cultivating. Ji Yuan was so engrossed in his cultivation that a hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Ji Yuan's immortal body became even clearer and more translucent, and two Dao seeds floated within his primordial spirit. The intertwining of the Dao seeds seemed to be giving birth to a divine power.

His cultivation level has also advanced from the late stage of Golden Immortal to the perfect stage of Golden Immortal. He only needs the Five Elements to be perfected before he can enter the Taiyi realm.

However, Ji Yuan opened his eyes at this moment. He would have to wait until he returned to Kunlun Mountain to break through to the Taiyi realm. Kunlun Mountain was known as the ancestor of all mountains, and the Biyou Palace was filled with ancestral energy. Breaking through inside the sect would further solidify his foundation.

As for supernatural powers, they cannot be condensed. When Ji Yuan returns to the Jie Sect and asks the Tongtian Sect Master for the Samadhi Divine Wind, and then combines the Samadhi Divine Wind with the Shangqing Divine Thunder and supplements it with the Wind and Thunder Dao Seed, it is unknown what kind of supernatural powers will be born.

The Samadhi Divine Wind is incredibly powerful. A poem once described it: "The azure sky trembles, shaking the palaces of the Dipper and the Ox, almost toppling the halls of Yama and the Demon King." This clearly demonstrates its power.

This is one of the advantages of being part of a top-tier power.

"Senior brother, have you completed your cultivation?"

When Duobao Daoist's voice came, Ji Yuan turned around and saw that there was nothing in the entire cave except for the immortal apricot and the soil beneath it.

The Taoist Master Duobao is terrifyingly powerful.

"Senior brother, what should we do with this immortal apricot?"

Daoist Duobao asked again.

Ji Yuan pondered for a moment: "Let's take it back and present it to Master. It will also be a good opportunity to suppress the fortune of my Jie Sect."

The Jie Sect originally lacked a treasure to suppress destiny. The Human Sect had the Taiji Diagram, and the Chan Sect had the Pangu Banner. Although the Jie Sect had the Zhuxian Sword, it was a weapon for killing, and its effect on suppressing destiny was really worrying. It would be better to get a few more innate spiritual roots, not to mention that Ji Yuan might be able to suppress destiny himself in the future.

Daoist Duobao shared the same idea. Although he initially intended to use the entire Wind and Thunder Apricot to refine weapons, he then thought that if he offered it to the Tongtian Sect Leader, he could also obtain a branch for refining weapons—wouldn't that be wonderful? "However, it's probably not easy to acquire such a top-grade innate spiritual root."

Duobao Daoren said with distress.

Top-grade innate spiritual roots are extremely precious. If one wants to take them away, one must use a treasure that forms its own world to collect them. However, the treasures of Ji Yuan and Daoist Duobao only form their own space and cannot be contained at all.

If they were to move it directly back, then there would be no point in even thinking about it. Taking the thousand-foot-tall Wind and Thunder Apricot directly to the Primordial World would be tantamount to courting death.

Although they were disciples of a sage, the primordial world was never short of people willing to take risks.

"Eh!"

"I see."

Ji Yuan shouted.

"???"

Daoist Duobao looked puzzled.

Ji Yuan continued, "Why don't we just call our master over and take over the entire cave?"

Do it when you think of it.

Ji Yuan immediately knelt down and chanted, "Master, my junior brother Ji Yuan and I were traveling when we discovered a primordial spiritual root that we wish to offer to you."

In the realm of a sage, everything he says is known, let alone when it is his disciple calling upon him.

The next moment, a dazzling sword light tore through the void, and the figure of the Tongtian Sect Leader appeared from it.

Ji Yuan: "Master."

Daoist Duobao: "Master."

The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed and said, "You two are quite lucky; you actually managed to find this item on your trip."

Daoist Duobao quickly replied, "Finding the Wind and Thunder Apricot is entirely thanks to my senior brother; it has nothing to do with me."

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Ji Yuan carefully and said in surprise, "Ji Yuan, your luck has increased significantly, even surpassing that of Duobao."

Ji Yuan was quite surprised to hear this, but then he suddenly realized that he had been cultivating for so long without opening the Record of Mythical Beasts of the Mountains and Seas. Perhaps the Qilin Diagram had already been unlocked?
However, he still replied, "Before I went out to search for treasure, I went to the human race to pass on some Taoist techniques that I had comprehended on my own. Perhaps it was the human race's fortune that gave me this benefit."

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Ji Yuan with even greater respect, for even after becoming a disciple of a sage, he still worried about the human race.

Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader smiled slightly and looked at his two disciples, saying, "This is your own harvest. I cannot accept your things, but it is no problem to help you move them back to Kunlun."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan immediately said, "Master, you should accept it. Our Jie Sect lacks a treasure to suppress our fortune. Although we don't have many disciples now, it doesn't matter whether we have this spiritual root or not. But in the future, when we have more disciples, it would be very good to have a top-grade innate spiritual root to suppress our fortune."

The two saints of the Western Sect did not have any innate treasures to suppress their fortune, but they had twelve-grade golden lotuses of merit, seven-treasure trees, eight-treasure pools of merit, and so on. If the quality was not good enough, they made up for it with quantity.

"This……"

The Tongtian Sect Leader frowned slightly, then smiled with relief: "Since you have such filial piety, then your master cannot refuse your good intentions. However, your master cannot take your top-grade spiritual roots for nothing."

With a flick of his palm, thunderous sounds echoed in the void, accompanied by bursts of multicolored light.

Two objects appeared before Ji Yuan.

It turned out to be...
