Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 18 The Immortal Abode of Overturned Waves
A vortex-shaped portal slowly rotates in the deep sea.

It exudes a gentle yet ancient aura.

Ma Yuan stood before the cave dwelling, his mind unmoved by the potential for an unparalleled opportunity.

Instead, they became extremely vigilant.

His divine sense surged toward the portal like a tide, carefully examining the restrictive fluctuations on it.

"What an overbearing, magnificent restriction..."

After a moment, Ma Yuan made his judgment.

This is the restriction that shrouds the cave.

It is full of the unique charm of the ancient dragon race, which is both domineering and majestic.

The power of the restriction is closely connected to the water veins of the entire sea area.

A unified whole, endlessly regenerating.

If we were to launch a forced attack, it would be tantamount to confronting the power of the East China Sea, which spans tens of thousands of miles.

The commotion was so great that it might have alarmed the Celestial Court of Zifu Continent, located in the East Sea.

Even if I were to break the restriction by then...

This will inevitably attract the attention of countless powerful figures, causing them to get into enormous trouble for no reason.

"Don't attack by force."

Ma Yuan made the decision almost instantly.

He would rather spend a thousand times more time.

They would never want to put themselves at risk for the sake of saving time and effort.

He sat cross-legged in front of the cave, not in a hurry to make a move, but first adjusted himself to his peak condition.

Then, he once again activated his unique understanding of the Dao of Cause and Effect.

Within his causal perspective.

This massive dragon barrier is no longer an impenetrable wall.

Instead, it is composed of countless interlocking lines of rules.

"All laws have their origins, and all things have their principles. No matter how strong this restriction is, it is ultimately something that was set up later, so it cannot be perfect."

A glint of wisdom shone in Ma Yuan's eyes.

He began to use his own faint Daoist principles of cause and effect as a guide.

Like the most patient craftsman, he meticulously combed through and analyzed the workings of this massive restriction, searching for the weakest and most crucial causal node within it.

This process is tedious and lengthy.

Time, in the deep sea, loses its meaning.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and the seasons change.

In the blink of an eye, decades have passed.

On this day, Ma Yuan, who had been sitting still like a stubborn rock, finally slowly opened his eyes.

After decades of deduction, he has figured out most of the operating rules of this dragon clan restriction.

He held out a finger.

At his fingertips, a wisp of extremely pure Golden Immortal magic power was gathered.

He didn't use any magical powers.

He simply placed this wisp of magical power at a mysterious angle, precisely and gently, on a completely inconspicuous spot on the barrier of light.

"Boom——"

A soft sound, like a bubble bursting.

That indestructible dragon clan restriction, which had been in operation for countless eons...

It was from the spot that was pointed out that the collapse began rapidly.

The entire process was completely silent.

Not a single trace of spiritual energy leaked out.

After counting the breaths.

The entire restriction completely dissolved, transforming into the purest water elemental energy, which merged into the surrounding seawater.

Ma Yuan looked at the slowly rotating portal in front of him, a satisfied expression on his face.

Water dripping wears away stone; we unravel the mystery by peeling back the layers.

After decades of hard work, he finally broke through the great formation that had been decayed by countless years.

However, Ma Yuan did not enter immediately.

Instead, as was customary, he carefully sent out a wisp of his divine sense to probe into it.

After confirming that there were no dangerous killing formations or remaining primordial spirits within the cave.

Only then did he feel completely relieved. He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the vortex-shaped portal.

The scene before my eyes has changed dramatically.

Ma Yuan found himself inside a huge, empty underwater stone chamber.

This place is the Immortal Abode of Overturned Waves.

The immortal abode was covered with a thick layer of dust from the past, clearly indicating that no one had set foot there for countless years.

In the corner of the stone chamber, there was a small mountain of various rare and precious materials.

The Mysterious Ice Iron, which can only be formed in the extremely cold deep sea, is an excellent material for refining water-based magical artifacts.

There are individual Azure Water Pearls, each about the size of a human head, emitting a soft glow.

Although not innate, it was crafted using the secret techniques of the Dragon Clan to suppress water veins.

There were also countless strange corals and deep-sea elixirs whose names he could not recall.

Although the spirituality has been somewhat lost over the years.

However, it remains an extremely rare and precious item, enough to drive any Golden Immortal cultivator mad.

Although Ma Yuan was delighted, he was not blinded by these external things.

He knew that no matter how good these materials were, they were still just external things.

It allows that the thread of cause and effect to provide such clear guidance.

There must be something more important to him here.

He passed through the stone chamber and walked deeper into the cave.

Finally, in a simple, quiet room, he saw the ultimate goal of his trip.

In the center of the quiet room, on a blue stone cushion, there was no one.

On a jade table in front of the futon, a jade book wrapped in unicorn skin was quietly placed.

Ma Yuan slowly stepped forward and picked up the jade book.

It feels warm and smooth to the touch, and a pure and vast aura of water element wafts over you.

He immersed his divine sense into it, and a line of ancient seal characters instantly appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"The Myriad Waters Return to Origin Technique!"

As the divine thought deepened.

A lengthy and profound cultivation technique, exceeding ten thousand words.

It flooded into his mind like a burst dam.

Ma Yuan stood still, carefully reading the cultivation method.

The expression on his face gradually transformed from initial calm to undisguised ecstasy!
This "Return of Ten Thousand Waters to the Origin Technique" is neither a supreme killing technique that can destroy the world, nor a method that can make one ascend to sainthood in one step.

It cannot be considered the most advanced cultivation technique in the primordial world.

However, it is an incomparably pure and dignified orthodox method of the dragon race's water-based cultivation!

Its core essence lies not in struggle, but in harmony and returning to the origin.

By practicing this method, one can absorb the energy of all waters under heaven and transform it into the most fundamental and purest essence of innate Gui water, which is used to cleanse the physical body and nourish the primordial spirit.

The key is.

This method emphasizes the rotation of the five elements, with water being the element that nourishes all things.

It can use the gentlest and purest water element to harmonize the imbalanced Yin and Yang and the Five Elements within the body, restoring them to harmony and stabilizing the foundation of one's Dao!

This... is simply a supreme treasure tailor-made for him!
The evil fire within him stemmed from the mixture of malevolent and violent energy, causing an imbalance in the fire element, resulting in its unrestrained and violent nature.

The "Return of Ten Thousand Waters to the Origin Technique" solves this problem in the most orthodox and gentle way.

Unlike those extremely yin and cold treasures, it suppresses evil fire with a forceful approach.

Instead, it subtly and gently harmonizes and resolves that violent anger at its root.

This allows it to ultimately integrate into its own five-element cycle, turning harm into benefit!
“You can’t find anything even after wearing iron shoes, but it takes no effort to get there!”

Ma Yuan gripped the jade book tightly in his hand, his heart filled with countless emotions.

He originally thought that solving the problem of evil fire would be an extremely difficult task that would require a long period of planning.

Unexpectedly, the first opportunity of his trip to the East China Sea went straight to the heart of the matter, bringing him this supreme method to eliminate future troubles!
With this "Return of Ten Thousand Waters to the Origin Technique", he no longer needed to painstakingly search for those unattainable innate water-element treasures.

Give him enough time to master this technique.

He was absolutely confident that he could completely eradicate the evil fire within his body!
At that time, his foundation will be perfected, the five elements will be balanced, and there will be no more obstacles on his path to becoming a Golden Immortal!

Ma Yuan carefully pocketed the jade book and all sorts of rare and precious materials in the stone chamber, leaving no trace whatsoever.

He bowed respectfully to the empty prayer mat.

This is to express my gratitude to this ancient dragon clan powerhouse whom I have never met, for leaving behind such a tremendous karmic connection.

Then he sat cross-legged on the futon and began his practice.

The most urgent task at hand is to go into seclusion and cultivate diligently, so as to completely master the "Return of Ten Thousand Waters to the Origin Technique"!
