The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"Let's forge the Dao body first. With so much Pangu primordial energy, it's enough for me to cultivate to the Saint Realm."

"Pangu, I really don't know how to thank you. Regardless of whether there is any karmic connection between us, I will remember this kindness!"

Having said that, Wei Chen closed his eyes and began to solidify his Dao body. Without Pangu, he wouldn't be standing here, nor would he have received such great fortune. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Pangu was his second parent; this kindness must be remembered forever, and he would repay Pangu if given the chance.

He is still at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. He had been studying the Pangu Primordial Qi, but his realm had not broken through. However, he had gained tremendous insights into the laws, making him several times stronger than before.

He also comprehended a body-refining method, which he named "Self-Cultivation Method," feeling that it had profound meaning and was in line with the original intention of body-refining.

Body refinement is about making your physical body strong enough to be indestructible and impervious to all attacks.

"Transcending oneself" means transforming one's physical body, overcoming the weakness of the body, escaping the cycle of birth and death, and achieving immortality, which has a profound and grand meaning.

(The Method of Self-Cultivation) It is divided into nine levels: early stage, middle stage, late stage, and perfection. Each level is a transformation in both quality and quantity.

The first level is equivalent to a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, the second level is equivalent to a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the third level is equivalent to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure, and so on...

Wei Chen's imagination was rich, but reality was harsh. He only comprehended the first level of Pangu's primordial energy. As for the next eight levels, they were just his pipe dream.

…………

Time is worthless; several more cycles have passed.

"Hmm, the Heavenly Dao has appeared?"

Wei Chen opened his eyes, and a radiant light suddenly appeared, peaceful and sacred, causing the surging Pangu primordial energy to retreat.

He sensed that the chaotic laws of heaven and earth were slowly being repaired, operating in an orderly manner according to certain rules, and that the malevolent energy was also gathering, no longer wandering the heavens and earth and ravaging all directions.

This is a sign of the emergence of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao begins to repair the primordial wilderness, nurture ferocious beasts, and nourish all things.

"Alright, although I was a little unprepared, I've been waiting for this day for a very, very long time!"

Wei Chen was suddenly excited, but then calmed down, his eyes gleaming.

To establish oneself in the primordial world, strength is undoubtedly the most fundamental requirement.

He is still at the Golden Immortal realm, and his Self-Cultivation Technique has reached the initial stage of the first level, which is not enough for him to establish himself in the prehistoric world.

He took out the Primordial Measuring Ruler, which shone with boundless purple light and radiant glow, intending to refine it.

Innate treasures include innate magical treasures, innate spiritual treasures, and innate supreme treasures.

Generally, innate magic treasures have one to nine layers of restrictions!

Levels 10 to 18 are low-grade innate spiritual treasures, levels 19 to 27 are mid-grade spiritual treasures, levels 28 to 35 are high-grade spiritual treasures, and levels 36 to 43 are top-grade spiritual treasures.

The forty-four to forty-nine years are innate treasures.

This is why spiritual treasures are classified into different grades, with their strength determined by the number of restrictions they have.

Acquired spiritual treasures also have the same restrictions, but they lack the profound principles of the Great Dao and the mysteries of innate spiritual treasures, making them much weaker.

………………

Time is of no importance to cultivators; a few eons can pass in a single seclusion!

Now, the primordial world is clear and bright, towering trees are lush and verdant, their branches adorned with clouds, and rare flowers and exotic plants grow among them, creating a vibrant scene of life.

"The tribulation lightning has finally arrived!"

Wei Chen looked at the dark clouds covering the sky with a solemn expression, but he was not afraid.

He had reached the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and the method of self-cultivation had been deduced to the third level. He had even cultivated to the middle stage of the second level, which was comparable to a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.

All of this gave him enough confidence and assurance.

Rumble—

Several lightning arcs as thick as an adult's thigh, along with countless lightning arcs from an arm, struck down, crackling and popping as if popping popcorn from Wei Chen's body.

"I was careless!" Wei Chen's lips twitched. He thought that his physical body, which was comparable to a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, would be enough to handle the situation.

However, this lightning tribulation was truly terrifying. Countless arcs of lightning fell from the sky, blasting out a crater thousands of meters deep, within which arcs of lightning intertwined and flickered.

That wasn't all. Lightning bolts continued to strike from the sky, their power causing the vegetation within a hundred miles to tremble, creating a scene reminiscent of world destruction.

Wei Chen's physical body was blasted open, and he wanted to use a magical treasure to defend himself, but he found that although he was rich, he did not have a single defensive magical treasure.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler is not a defensive spiritual treasure, but the Innate Dao Talisman is. Moreover, its defense is no worse than that of a top-grade defensive innate spiritual treasure. Even the four twelfth-grade lotus platforms are not as good as the Dao Talisman.

The innate Dao talisman is mysterious and unpredictable, and can be transformed into any kind of spiritual treasure at will.

However, Wei Chen did not want to use the Innate Dao Talisman. This magic treasure was of utmost importance and was the foundation of his Dao attainment.

Whether or not one can attain the supreme Dao in the future depends on the innate Dao talisman; no one should be allowed to know of the talisman's existence.

Moreover, not only could his heart not withstand the tribulation of lightning, but his physical body was also so strong that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could not destroy it in one fell swoop.

Although the lightning tribulation broke through his skin, it did not cause him any real serious injury.

Wei Chen pondered to himself that if he really couldn't overcome it, it wouldn't be too late to use the innate Dao talisman.

Having made up his mind, he sat cross-legged and stopped resisting, using the self-healing method to repair his wounds.

A torrent of lightning bolts crashed down from the sky, turning the crater into a lake of lightning in just over ten minutes.

Wei Chen was bathing in the Thunder Lake, his clothes were already off, the lightning had reached his chest, and his shoulder blades were a bloody mess.

Fortunately, he still had some self-awareness and summoned the innate talisman in time, which transformed into a hat.

Otherwise, his head would have been blown open by now!

It wasn't that he didn't want to transform the innate Dao talisman into a shield, but rather that he discovered the lightning arc greatly aided in body tempering, showing faint signs of a breakthrough, so he didn't use it.

Rumble—

Wei Chen looked up and immediately felt a chill run down his spine!

The lightning clouds withdrew their arcs, emitting a deep, muffled rumble. The surrounding space, spanning hundreds of miles, was oppressively silent, as if brewing some great terror.

Wei Chen's scalp was practically tingling; he dared not be careless this time!

He hurriedly transformed the innate Dao talisman into a shield three zhang in diameter, jumped out of the Thunder Lake, swallowed a drop of Nine Heavens Mystic Water, and his injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Water is the water of heaven and earth. Water is the source of life, and Nine Heavens Mysterious Water is the representative of the source of life.

In just a few seconds, Wei Chen was completely naked, with not a single scratch on him. His face was rosy, and his aura was as powerful as a rainbow.

The calamity clouds in the sky also condensed into a dark, dragon-like shape.

Wei Chen was terrified; his divine sense could perceive the terrifying power of that lightning arc. Even an early-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal would be reduced to ashes if struck by it.

boom!

The lightning bolt finally struck, stretching over ten zhang in length, larger than a water vat, its power terrifying, possessing an aura that could determine life and death.

boom! boom!

Wei Chen was blasted into the mountainside, lying in a deep pit convulsing, with lightning crackling around him.

Suddenly, the dark clouds transformed into a golden cloud, its light dazzling and boundless, its auspicious glow filling the sky with endless good fortune.

Countless purple wisps of energy rose, carrying with them holiness, benevolence, and divine grace, their aura vast and boundless. They transformed into magnificent, colorful pillars, surging powerfully towards Weichen.

"This..." Wei Chen was stunned. Was this going too far in favoring me?
