Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 69, Section 68: One Escapes, the Three Immortals Seek Reinforcements

After being persuaded by Ji Yuan, Taiyi Zhenren manifested ten clones to act as the Ten Kings of Hell.

Interestingly, after the Yama's subordinates made their appointment, the Netherworld was in turmoil, and a pen emerged from the depths of the Netherworld—the Judge's Pen.

However, Taiyi Zhenren did not want this top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but instead handed it over to Houtu.

Because Houtu split into four incarnations to serve as judges, she wanted to witness the myriad forms of creatures in the primordial world.

Ji Yuan then mobilized the power of the Netherworld to create various buildings of the Underworld from the Netherworld land before returning to the imperial palace that the Netherworld had created for him.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Ji Yuan sighed. The matters of the underworld were finally almost settled, and only now did he have time to examine the Record of Mythical Beasts from the Mountains and Seas.

The Record of Mythical Beasts of the Mountains and Seas slowly unfolds, revealing a dragon-headed, fish-bodied beast with a wide mouth and a loud voice leaping onto it—it is Chiwen.

[Light up the Chiwen image to obtain the Great Dao: Disaster Averter]

"Hmm? Why is it this kind of Great Dao?"

Chiwen is one of the nine sons of the dragon. It can swallow fire and bring rain. Ji Yuan originally thought that its Dao was related to water and fire, but he did not expect it to be about avoiding disaster.

However, placing the Chiwen statue on a building is meant to ward off fire, which seems to be related to avoiding disasters.

The next moment, the Chiwen diagram transformed into a stream of light and merged into his body, and in an instant, Ji Yuan mastered this great Dao.

"I see!"

"This kind of grand principle is quite interesting."

In essence, this path to disaster avoidance is somewhat similar to the path of change, but it is more precise, as it conforms to the principle of mutual generation and restraint among all things in heaven and earth.

For example, if it is affected by a fire, it will change into the elements of water, fire, and earth, with each element generating and restraining the other.

Ji Yuan also comprehended a supernatural power during this process, which we'll call the Thousand Transformations.

No matter what attacks you launch, I will find ways to evade them.

However, this illustration is just an appetizer. The real treasure is the illustration below, which combines the good deeds of restoring Houtu's body, establishing the six realms of reincarnation, and establishing the functions of the underworld. This illustration is the only one that has been truly illuminated.

A blurry figure appeared on the map, its imposing presence seemingly about to leap out of the map.

Light up the image of Donghuang Taiyi to obtain: "Taiyi"

Ji Yuan: "?"

The next moment, the light entered his body, and Ji Yuan immediately understood everything.

“太” means “supreme” or “extreme”, and has the meaning of transcending or being vast.

However, "一" does not mean origin or beginning, but rather "一" that has vanished.

Taken together, Ji Yuan possessed an ability to break all established norms, making him the ultimate variable of all things.

This thing is mysterious and profound, it does not belong to the Great Dao, and it cannot be explained.

Ji Yuan was both happy and worried upon receiving this item.

The good news is that this ability is extremely helpful and may be able to break through the so-called limit of sainthood.

As for worries, the ability to see the big picture from small details, if one can acquire this ability, perhaps the changes in the primordial world in the future will exceed everyone's imagination.

Suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, Ji Yuan immediately became calm and peaceful. The Dao of Tranquility, which evolved from the Wenyao fish, was truly a wonderful thing, always allowing Ji Yuan to calm his mind amidst a multitude of distracting thoughts.

And so, Ji Yuan entered into cultivation. As for those powerful figures waiting outside the Netherworld, hoping to get a share of the spoils, they should wait and see.

Spring comes and autumn goes, and years pass by in the blink of an eye; three cycles of time have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Yuan was awakened from his cultivation by a fluctuation. After a brief investigation, he discovered that it was the Three Immortal Sisters calling him.

With a wave of her hand, Bixiao's small face appeared in the void.

Bixiao saw Ji Yuan and immediately shouted:

"Senior Brother, come quick! We can't hold on any longer!"

"Hmm? What's going on?" Ji Yuan didn't ask any questions. In an instant, he left the Netherworld, unfolded the Map of Mountains and Rivers, locked onto the location of the Three Heavens, and arrived at his destination in a flash.

The familiar smell of the sea filled Ji Yuan's nostrils, and he immediately knew where he was—it was the East China Sea.

Looking down, two dragons, one yin and one yang, were battling with the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls unleashed immense power, Yunxiao's Hunyuan Golden Cauldron was equally formidable, and Qiongxiao and Bixiao further provided various magical assistance.

Even so, the four of them were still firmly at a disadvantage, or more accurately, the two dragons were toying with them.

Because those two dragons were actually at the early stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

Seeing that the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming were about to collapse, Ji Yuan immediately gave a soft shout:
"Certainly!"

The space and time where the two dragons were located suddenly froze.

"Senior Brother! ×4"

Seeing that the dragon was under control, the four of them immediately spotted Ji Yuan in the air and called out to him.

Ji Yuan nodded and said with a smile:
"How did the three junior sisters and junior brother Zhao Gongming end up fighting against this Primordial Golden Immortal dragon?"

Yunxiao put away the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, tidied his messy hair, and said:
"We were cultivating within the sect when we suddenly sensed an opportunity, but we never expected to encounter this Yin-Yang evil dragon. Fortunately, our senior brother came to our aid."

Ji Yuan nodded, then asked:

"But is Master not in the sect?"

Ji Yuan remembered that this dragon should have been suppressed by the Tongtian Sect Leader and then refined into the magic weapon Golden Dragon Scissors, and should not have been encountered by the Three Immortals.

Yunxiao nodded and said:
"Our master is indeed not in the sect. He has gone to Kunlun Mountain to discuss the Dao."

"I see."

Just as Ji Yuan had thought, the Tongtian Sect Leader was not in the East Sea, otherwise this dragon could have been suppressed with a flick of his hand.

With a light tap of his finger, the eyes of the two dragons quickly dimmed.

It seems that Ji Yuan is only one minor realm higher than Yin Yang Flood Dragon, but starting from the Great Luo realm, each step is a new level, not to mention that his combat power is different from that of ordinary Hunyuan Golden Immortals.

The simultaneous advancement of physical body, the Great Dao, and magical power is no ordinary feat.

After secretly removing something from the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon's body, Ji Yuan handed the dragon's flesh over to Yunxiao and said:
"This Yin-Yang Flood Dragon is a chaotic variant. Why don't we take it back and ask our master to forge a magic weapon for you when he returns?"

"Senior brother, you killed this dragon, and then you just handed it over to us. It's really..."

Yunxiao quickly refused.

Ji Yuan smiled:
"Junior sister, do you think I'd be of any use with this dragon's body? Take it."

Yunxiao smiled and then remembered that his senior brother had already reached the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, making progress in all aspects, so this dragon's physical body was indeed useless to him.

After sending the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming back to the Jie Sect, Ji Yuan immediately returned to the Netherworld.

After extracting the soul of the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon, Ji Yuan immediately used the Soul Searching Technique. He never showed mercy to those burdened with heavy karma.

After searching the soul several times, the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon's soul dissipated, but Ji Yuan still did not get what he wanted.

"This is how the same thing?"

A strand of red thread appeared in Ji Yuan's hand, which he placed back onto the red embroidered ball.

The object taken from the Yin-Yang Flood Dragon was one of the red threads of fate on the red embroidered ball.

The reason the dragon hesitated to capture the Three Immortals and others was to absorb their overflowing power of emotions and desires in order to strengthen itself.

Ji Yuan's deductions using the red thread for Yi Ping still yielded no results.

Before he could think further, a sorrowful murmur came from behind him.

"Fellow Daoist Ji Yuan, I have understood."
