Primordial Era: Reborn as Zhen Yuanzi, taking control of the underground passage

The moment you step inside, the world changes.

The passage connecting them to the outside world closed silently behind them, completely isolating them from the hustle and bustle of the East Sea and the potential threat of the dragon race.

What rushed towards us was a primordial spiritual energy far richer and purer than any other blessed land in the primordial world, carrying an ancient connotation of the beginning of chaos.

This spiritual energy almost solidified, transforming into a misty, seven-colored haze that swirled around the body. With each breath, one felt their primordial spirit become clear and their magical power subtly activated.

Beneath my feet lies a rainbow bridge that spans the void and connects three majestic fairy islands.

This rainbow bridge is not a physical entity, but rather a natural manifestation formed by countless Dao runes interwoven and drawing upon the essence of heaven and earth, shimmering with light and ever-changing.

It may seem illusory, but stepping on it gives you an indescribable sense of weight and solidity, as if you are standing on the earth's mother energy that bears all things, which brings you peace of mind.

Zhen Yuanzi stood on the Rainbow Bridge, his ancient Taoist robe fluttering slightly in the spiritual mist. He did not move forward immediately, but instead quietly comprehended the Taoist essence of this unique world.

Beneath the bridge lies not seawater, but a churning sea of ​​clouds formed from pure spiritual energy and fragments of Dao principles.

The sea of ​​clouds is not empty; occasionally, the phantom of a golden dragon, naturally formed from spiritual energy and not yet fully intelligent, leaps by, its scales and claws flying, displaying extraordinary valor.

There were also colorful phoenixes spreading their magnificent wings, their clear chirping faint, and scattering auspicious light.

These are not real living beings, but rather strange phenomena formed by the manifestation of the Great Dao due to the abundance of spiritual energy in this place. They also add countless celestial auras, indicating the extraordinary nature of this place.

He looked around, his gaze calm and profound. The three main islands were arranged in a triangular shape and connected by a rainbow bridge.

Each one is magnificent, with towering peaks, cascading waterfalls and flowing springs, or adorned with rare flowers and fragrant herbs, or hidden palaces and jade trees and precious branches.

With just a rough perception, one can detect countless innate spiritual plants and minerals that have long since disappeared or are even unheard of in the outside world, scattered among them, absorbing and exhaling pure innate spiritual energy.

With a slight thought, Zhen Yuanzi's incomparably powerful divine sense spread out like mercury, no longer hindered by the external Three Talents Array, and began to meticulously scan and explore this "treasure land" that belonged only to him.

As the divine sense reached, even more astonishing wonders entered the "heart's" view:

In a bamboo forest shrouded in purple mist on the eastern fairy island, he discovered a spiritual root that looked like it was carved from purple jade, with natural thunder runes growing on its bamboo joints—"Purple Heaven Thunder Bamboo".

This bamboo contains the innate essence of thunder, which is extremely strong and yang. It is the supreme material for refining thunder-type magic treasures, and it can also ward off evil spirits and suppress demons. Even a trace of its aura can make evil spirits disappear.

Deep within a frigid pool on the western side of the fairy island grows a lotus flower that blooms quietly, its petals displaying nine different shades of icy blue—the "Nine Netherworld Cold Lotus".

Its extremely cold aura is enough to freeze the primordial spirit and magical power of ordinary Golden Immortals, yet it can also nourish the origins of water and ice attributes, making it an unparalleled treasure for cultivating related Great Daos and refining cold attribute pills.

On a fiery mountain on the southern fairy island, a seven-colored flame that never goes out and constantly changes shape leaps and burns—the "Seven-Colored Glazed Flame".

This fire is neither heavenly nor earthly; it is formed from the pure essence of primordial fire mixed with a trace of chaotic energy. It possesses multiple wondrous properties, including weapon crafting, body tempering, and combat, and is full of spiritual energy.

However, what caught Zhen Yuanzi's attention even more was that in the core areas of these three main islands, there was a far more powerful and restrained innate spiritual energy that far surpassed that of these spiritual plants and strange fires, slowly flowing like the heartbeat of a sleeping giant beast, stirring the spiritual energy tides of the entire island.

Clearly, these three spiritual energies are the true core of the Three Immortal Islands, each nurturing extraordinary treasures!

Especially at the core of the most magnificent and imposing immortal island in the center, the spiritual energy was incredibly profound, carrying a unique Daoist charm that could bear all things and nourish all living beings. It subtly resonated with and attracted him to the "Kun Yuan True Scripture" he cultivated and the origin of his innate earth essence.

It was as if that treasure was innately connected to his Way of the Earth, an indispensable part of his path.

Zhen Yuanzi walked unhurriedly across the rainbow bridge, slowly making his way towards the central immortal island. Each step was steady and powerful, his pace subtly in harmony with the breath of this world.

He did not rush to collect the many rare treasures he had discovered; his face remained calm and composed.

In his eyes, since he was able to enter the Three Immortal Islands, which were sealed by the Innate Three Talents Formation, everything on the island was, in a sense, already his. It didn't matter whether he took it sooner or later.

Rather than eagerly acquiring treasures, he valued thoroughly understanding and controlling this world itself.

Only by understanding its operating rules and mastering its core array can the potential of these three immortal islands be maximized, truly becoming part of one's own Dao foundation, rather than merely a treasure vault.

Zhen Yuanzi sat down cross-legged again on the Rainbow Bridge.

He closed his eyes, his hands hanging naturally on his knees, but his mind was closely connected with the entire Three Immortals Island and the massive Innate Three Talents Array surrounding it.

Previously, when he was outside, he comprehended the great formation mainly to find its operating rules and seek a way to open the gate with skillful force, just like studying the structure of a lock from the outside, with the goal of opening it.

At this moment, he was already inside the treasure vault. His purpose was no longer to "open the door," but to gain a deeper and more thorough understanding of all the mysteries of this Primordial Three Talents Grand Array from within.

Understand how it triggers the origin of chaotic fragments, how it harmonizes the energies of heaven, earth, and humanity, and how it forms its own universe, impervious to all laws.

He intends to thoroughly analyze and master this top-tier innate formation from the inside out, ultimately integrating it into his own formation cultivation. He even envisions deploying it on Longevity Mountain in the future to enhance the defense of his Daoist temple.

His divine sense, like the finest roots, slowly seeped into every inch of the Three Immortal Islands, every wisp of spiritual energy, and every chain of laws. He was no longer a "decipherer," but a "fusionist" and a "learner."

He sensed how the nodes of "Heaven" received the pure spiritual energy from the darkness, maintaining the stability and independence of the space;

He comprehended how the nodes of "Earth" take root in chaos, transform energy, and nourish all things;

He understands how the "human" node (here, "human" refers more to "spirit" and "intention") coordinates and manages, giving the great formation dynamic changes and response mechanisms.

The three realms (heaven, earth, and man) flow and interact, mutually generating and restraining each other in an endless cycle. Zhen Yuanzi was immersed in this profound understanding, and his own understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, especially his cognition of "stability," "space," and "spiritual cycle," improved at an unprecedented speed.

He could even feel that his cultivation, which had reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, was becoming more and more refined and condensed under the baptism of the Great Dao, and he seemed to have touched more mysteries of the Primordial Chaos Dao Realm in the dark.

Time loses its meaning in this fairyland formed from fragments of chaos. Perhaps it's just a moment, or perhaps a thousand years have passed.

When Zhen Yuanzi opened his eyes again, three miniature illusory islands seemed to flash past in the depths of his eyes, perfectly matching the surrounding Innate Three Talents Array. A sense of absolute control over this place arose spontaneously.

At this moment, he not only completely mastered this innate Three Talents Formation, but also could activate its full power with a thought, making it infinitely useful for defense, trapping enemies, and concealment.
