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

With each strike, the light from the fingertips precisely embeds itself into the minute gaps in the operation of the grand formation, like a key inserted into a lock, guiding the vast and violent power of the four elements to flow peacefully, temporarily opening a passage.

"Buzz—Click—"

A soft, strange sound, like metal breaking or space opening, was heard.

The mountain wall before them, so solid and unchanging since time immemorial, enduring endless pressure without being damaged in the slightest, slowly parted to the sides like a curtain drawn back by an invisible hand, revealing the inner space that it had protected for countless years.

There was no earth-shattering momentum, no violent impact of magic, only a natural harmony that followed the way of heaven and came about naturally.

In an instant, a vast spiritual energy, extremely pure, rich and abundant, containing the most primordial primordial energies of earth, water, wind, and fire, rushed towards us like a torrent that had accumulated for countless ages!

Wanshou Yuanjun felt his pores open instantly, greedily absorbing this rare spiritual energy. With each breath, he felt his magical power surge and his body feel comfortable. Even his primordial spirit felt waves of joy, and the mental energy he had previously consumed was being rapidly replenished.

The spiritual energy was so dense it was almost liquid, shimmering with magnificent halos of earth, water, wind, and fire, permeating the entire space.

What came into the view of the Longevity Goddess was not some vast and boundless blessed land, but a small but bottomless innate spiritual pool, which was not an ordinary spring.

Instead, it was formed entirely from the liquefied innate four elements of spiritual energy, rising and radiating countless rays of light. And in the center of the spiritual pool, rooted in nothingness, with its roots reaching into endless unknown dimensions, grew a spiritual root of extraordinary nature, imbued with the essence of the Dao!

The spiritual root was over ten feet tall, its entire body resembling a carving of the finest jade, emerald green and shimmering with precious light, brimming with boundless vitality.

Its shape resembles a tree but is not a tree; it is more like a naturally grown banana plant magnified countless times.

There are no lush branches and leaves on it, only four enormous, perfectly shaped banana leaves that grow at the top, comparable to a canopy.

These four leaves, each a different color and possessing mysterious patterns, exude a natural Daoist charm, each corresponding to one of the four primordial elements:

A thick, earthy yellow expanse, bearing the weight of the earth, its veins winding like dragons and snakes, exuding unparalleled stability and a sense of support.

A deep, azure expanse, seemingly imbued with the essence of water, its surface appearing to have endless waves quietly flowing, nourishing all things;

A pale blue hue flowed, swirling in the breeze, and the slightest tremor at its edges cut through the surrounding space, creating subtle ripples, swift and formless;

A fiery red glow, with leaping fire spirits, radiating astonishing heat and an aura of destruction and rebirth, its brilliance dazzling.

The four divine leaves move without wind, swaying gently along a mysterious trajectory, naturally drawing upon the convergence, collision, and generation of the forces of earth, water, fire, and wind, even evolving into wisps of chaotic energy, a mystery beyond description.

The four leaves perfectly correspond to and embody the four innate attributes of earth, water, wind, and fire!

"The Four Symbols Banana Tree!"

The words "Wanshou Yuanjun" came out of her mouth, her tone filled with undisguised amazement and joy.

According to the original body's memory, this innate spiritual root is indeed a rare treasure born from the Heavenly Dao at the beginning of creation. Its four leaves are all supreme divine objects containing the innate original laws, with infinite wonders and immense power.

In his hazy memory.

It seems that the leaves of this spiritual root were destined to be obtained by the sage Laozi, who refined them into four innate treasure fans of immense power. One fanned fire to aid in alchemy, while the other fanned wind with boundless power.

It is of great help in alchemy, weapon crafting, and even in defeating enemies, and is renowned throughout the prehistoric world.

At this time, Hongjun had not yet appeared, the Heavenly Dao had not yet manifested, and the sages had not yet appeared. The opportunities in the primordial world were reserved for those with virtue (power).

Today, this spiritual root was discovered by Wanshou Yuanjun first, and obtained through fate and ability. Therefore, it is destined to be connected with Zhen Yuanzi's lineage, and is not something predetermined by anyone else.

This item contains the most fundamental Four Symbols Law. If it can be properly cultivated in the Wonderland of Longevity Mountain and nourished by the innate essence of the Earth, it will have immeasurable benefits for its ability to comprehend the Great Dao, improve its own cultivation techniques, strengthen the Earth Book's defenses, and even plan its future path.

Without further hesitation, Wanshou Yuanjun believed that such innate spiritual roots could only be transplanted back to the root land of Wanshou Mountain, protected by the power of her own body and the earth's membrane, and carefully nourished with the innate essence of the earth, so that they could continue to thrive and even advance further.

He stepped forward, his expression solemn. He activated his profound energy, his hands forming mysterious hand seals. Streams of vibrant, gentle yet powerful azure Yi Wood divine light surged forth, like countless soft yet resilient silk ribbons.

Carefully, the entire Four Symbols Banana Tree, along with the invaluable pool of innate spiritual liquid beneath it containing the essence of the Four Symbols, was wrapped and slowly pulled up.

His movements were extremely gentle and slow, his mind highly focused, as if afraid of damaging even the slightest root, leaf, or inner Daoist essence of his spiritual root.

The banana tree seemed to sense the gentle and mellow innate wood essence and earth energy emanating from him, which were of the same origin. It trembled slightly, and four-colored light flowed around it. Instead of resisting, it conveyed a sense of intimacy.

In the end, the entire wondrous spiritual root and the pool of spiritual liquid transformed into a dazzling stream of light interwoven with four colors, obediently entering the inner universe within his wide sleeves. It was carefully placed in a separate, enclosed spiritual space filled with restrictions, awaiting its return to Longevity Mountain.

After the spiritual root was removed, the innate restriction behind the mountain wall flickered rapidly a few times. Without its core support, it slowly dissipated and collapsed, returning to the ordinary mountain wall as if it had never existed, leaving no trace.

Having obtained such a precious, top-tier innate spiritual root, the Myriad Longevity Sovereign was filled with joy, yet her Dao heart remained calm and undisturbed, without becoming impatient or complacent.

He knew that climbing Buzhou Mountain was far more difficult than he had imagined, and that he had already spent a lot of his mind and energy exploring the restrictions, comprehending the formations, and collecting spiritual roots.

He returned to the rocky depression where the oppressive force had weakened, sat down cross-legged again, calmed his mind, and focused all his energy on circulating the "True Scripture of Yi Wood." He absorbed the still abundant innate spiritual energy around him (though not as strong as the Spirit Pool, it was far superior to ordinary cave heavens) to replenish his energy and hone his cultivation, which had improved slightly due to resisting the oppressive force and comprehending the great formation, as well as his more powerful physical body.

A thick cocoon of light, intense blue, formed on his body, like a giant egg, constantly absorbing and releasing massive amounts of energy to repair the most minute hidden injuries. It also slowly sorted out and integrated the newly comprehended fragments of the Four Symbols Law into his own Dao foundation, making it more perfect and solid.

To make the most thorough and perfect preparations for continuing to climb the even more terrifying mountain peak area, whose oppressive power could make even a Great Luo Golden Immortal hesitate.

The pressure ahead will be even more terrifying, and the journey even more arduous, but it will also inevitably mean more opportunities, challenges, and potentially even greater surprises.

His gaze once again fell upon the mountain path above, shrouded in mist, with gale-force winds and oppressive pressure that seemed to support the weight of the entire primordial world. His eyes were calm as water, yet contained an unwavering determination and persistence.
