Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 83 Phoenix Clan Blocks the Way
"The great shaman has bestowed such a generous gift, which would be impolite of me to refuse."

Ma Yuan bowed respectfully, solemnly extending his hand to receive the animal bone pottery jar containing the evil energy of the heavens.

He knew that although the witch clan was violent, they were also the purest.

Unlike those immortal cultivators, many of whom are two-faced and scheming.

By gifting this item to himself, Yanli truly regarded him as a confidant.

The sentiments contained within are far more precious than the aura of the gods and demons themselves.

"Haha! There's no need for thanks between us!" Seeing that he accepted it, Yanli was overjoyed and patted his shoulder hard.

After bidding farewell, Ma Yuan did not linger for a moment.

With one step, he stood firmly atop the dragon head of Ao Xuan, which had been waiting outside the tribe for a long time.

"hold head high--!"

With a high-pitched dragon roar, the man and the dragon transformed into a black streak of light that tore through the sky, heading straight towards the distant southern part of the prehistoric wilderness without any hesitation.

The sea of ​​clouds churned, and the wind howled fiercely.

Ao Xuan's enormous dragon body darted through the clouds at an extreme speed.

Ma Yuan sat cross-legged on the dragon's head. With a thought, he took out the beast bone pottery jar that sealed the aura of the Heavenly God and Demon, and quietly floated it in his palm.

The jar was ancient and simple, and was made from the skull of a great demon.

It is imprinted with the most primitive sacrificial totems of the Wu tribe, exuding a desolate aura originating from the ancient wilderness.
Ma Yuan could clearly sense that the animal bone pottery jar contained a terrifying power that would make even a Taiyi Golden Immortal tremble with fear.

"All Heavenly Gods and Demons..."

Ma Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes deep, as various legends about this object involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

Legend has it that the twelve ancestral witches, when combined, could set up the most powerful killing formation in the primordial world—the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.

Once this formation is successfully completed, it can summon the true form of Pangu within the formation, and can also activate the supreme thunder magic of the beginning of chaos and the creation of heaven and earth—the Divine Thunder of the Heavens!
This thunder is a manifestation of the great power of Pangu in creating the world.

Its power is so great that it can severely injure a saint and destroy the heavens and the earth!
"It seems that this wisp of divine and evil energy is the original power of that great formation, and its origin points directly to the foundation of the witch clan in the Pangu Palace."

Upon realizing this, even Ma Yuan's usually calm and unwavering Dao heart was slightly stirred.

He carefully probed a wisp of divine thought, protected by merit, into the pottery jar.

That small area seemed to be a chaotic void, with a wisp of thick, ink-black energy quietly lingering within it.

What it contains is no longer just evil energy, but a more ancient and primordial energy, as if it contains the chaotic energy of the supreme will of the great god Pangu when he created the world!
"Om-!"

The moment his mind touched it, Ma Yuan seemed to have crossed countless ages and space, and in the darkness he saw a giant standing tall and upright, holding a giant axe, creating the primordial world in endless chaos with supreme divine posture!

He felt that his understanding of the great Dao of world evolution and the changes of laws became incredibly clear at this moment.

An idea suddenly came to mind.

"My Purple Necklace in the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, though it has been refined with the Immortal Mountain as its foundation, has initially evolved into earth, water, fire, and wind, and the pure and impure have been separated, forming the prototype of heaven and earth."

Ma Yuannei gazed at that vibrant yet overly tranquil little world, a struggle forming in his mind.

"But in the end, there is more vitality than killing. There is more creation than order. It is like a stagnant pool that can only be filled by external forces and cannot evolve on its own."

"The so-called world is not a dead thing. Only when there are the four seasons, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and rewards for good and punishment for evil, can it be called a true world."

"If I could inject this wisp of Heavenly Divine Qi into the Purple Necklace Heaven, using it as a catalyst, to generate Heavenly Dao Divine Thunder belonging to this world within that small world..."

An unprecedented fervor flashed in Ma Yuan's eyes!
"Thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth, the creation of yin and yang, and the life and death of all things! It governs both punishment and life, and is the manifestation of the majesty of the Heavenly Dao!" "If I can refine this wisp of the Heavenly Divine Fiend into a 'Thunder Seed' and implant it into the origin of the Purple Necklace Heaven, I can establish the Heavenly Heart and set the Heavenly Laws for that world!"

"At that time, thunder will become the heartbeat of the world, invoking the origin, rewarding good and punishing evil, and stimulating the evolution and collision of laws. Only then will a true prototype of the Heavenly Dao be born!"

The birth of the nascent form of the Heavenly Dao signifies that Ziyingtian has truly ascended to the Middle Thousand Worlds.

Once this first thousand worlds is successfully completed, it means that he has a true foundation and template.

If he wants to evolve the remaining twenty-three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls in the future, he can directly "draw materials" from this world and use them as a reference to improve himself. Whether it is spiritual veins, laws, or even insights into the Heavenly Dao, he can learn from them.

However, the thought only flashed through his mind before he forcibly suppressed it.

"This matter cannot be rushed."

He slowly shook his head, his Dao heart returning to its tranquil state.

"To evolve the world and give birth to the Heavenly Dao is the supreme law that defies creation."

The mental and physical effort required to accomplish this can easily amount to thousands or even tens of thousands of years; it is by no means something that can be achieved overnight.

"I am currently in the perilous southern part of the prehistoric world, where monsters and ferocious beasts roam freely and the causes and effects are complicated. It is not a good time for me to go into seclusion and cultivate in seclusion."

This matter can only be attempted at a more leisurely pace once we return to Skull Mountain.

Once this thought came to mind, Ma Yuan stopped thinking about it.

He carefully placed the animal bone pottery jar into the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and sealed it with multiple layers of restrictions.

He then patted Ao Xuan's dragon head beneath him, signaling him to continue forward.

However, just a few years after the man and the dragon set off again, traveling through the sea of ​​clouds.

Ao Xuan's massive dragon body suddenly froze, letting out a low dragon roar.

Ma Yuan also felt something, slowly raised his head, and looked ahead through the clouds.

At the edge of the sea of ​​clouds, a dozen figures stood in mid-air, their bodies engulfed in blazing Southern Brightness Fire, turning half the sky crimson.

Their auras merged into one, like a fiery mountain, blocking their path.

The leader was an old woman from the Phoenix Clan, dressed in a crimson palace gown, holding a phoenix-wood staff, and with an ancient and weathered face.

Her eyes were closed, as if she were dozing.

But the faint aura emanating from it was as deep as the sea, distorting the very space around it.

It was none other than a powerful being in the late stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

Behind him, Zhu Xiang, a powerful figure from the Phoenix Clan who had met Ma Yuan once before, stood respectfully in attendance.

Her sharp phoenix eyes were fixed intently on Ma Yuan, filled with complexity and scrutiny.

"It's not a good thing."

Ma Yuan instantly understood.

He remained motionless, calmly gazing at the other, his voice serene yet resonating throughout the entire sea of ​​clouds:

"I wonder what business it is of you fellow cultivators of the Phoenix Clan who have blocked my path?"
