Primordial Era: The Giant Turtle Returning from Immortality

Upon understanding this, Guiyuan felt not joy, but rather a chill ran through him.

Because Nuwa's creation of humans was not simply a matter of directly creating the human race with the Dao.

Whether it's the story of Nuwa transforming into eighty-one beings or the claim that Nuwa created humans in seven days, it all demonstrates that Nuwa went through many trials.

"So it was precisely because Nuwa used this treasure to perceive the origin of all living beings and understand the mysteries of creation that she was able to create the human race with the form of Pangu?"

They believe they have obtained a treasure and increased their strength.

However, this may have inadvertently severed a crucial boost to Nuwa's future enlightenment, drawing her into an extremely troublesome causal situation.

His gaze swept over Nuwa beside him, then he looked inward at the Human Essence Pearl floating in the True Spirit.

"At worst, I'll lend them a hand. With this karmic connection, Nuwa won't kill me again, will she?"

Since Guiyuan wants to accumulate merit, he naturally cannot miss some major events. Now that someone has Yuanzhu as the cause and effect, there is a good reason to intervene in this matter.

Although he intends to attain the Dao of Hunyuan, he must at least have a backup plan, such as getting on Nuwa's side.

Among the many saints, Nuwa is the one with the fewest conflicts. It wouldn't be a bad thing for her to stay in the Nuwa Palace and live like an immortal.

Guiyuan had already planned it out; his future strategies would consist of three approaches: superior, middle, and inferior.

The best strategy is to leverage one's accumulated experience in the world of immortality, one's own foundation, and one's understanding of the original destiny of the primordial world to transcend it, so that even if the primordial world perishes, I will not perish.

The middle strategy is to accumulate merit and gather good fortune, representing the North's attempt to seize the holy position and then become a saint, but this is also difficult.

After all, Rahu revealed himself to be in the west, not the north.

The worst option, as he said, is to find a powerful backer and then patiently think of other solutions.

The closer one gets to the main body of Buzhou Mountain, the more terrifying the oppressive force originating from Pangu becomes.

When the three of them finally stepped onto the towering mountain that resembled the foundation of a mountain range, the pressure suddenly increased.

Despite the immense pressure, the three of them stepped into the territory of Buzhou Mountain.

The deeper one goes, the heavier the oppressive aura becomes.

This is not just the pressure from the mountain itself.

Furthermore, an unparalleled will originating from the beginning of chaos and from the great god Pangu surged forth like a tide, not only compressing the physical body but also penetrating the magical power and shaking the divine soul.

Fuxi and Nuwa's expressions gradually turned solemn. With each step they took, it seemed as if they were fighting against the weight of the entire world.

His magical power became sluggish, and his soul felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, causing his breathing to become heavier involuntarily.

In contrast, Guiyuan remained calm and composed, as if the pressure around him did not exist.

After all, even the Taotie is no match for him in terms of physical strength.

For an entire kalpa, he focused on strengthening his physical body.

Although it wasted the time of an entire eon, who can say that the timing wasn't just right?

Seeing how relaxed he was, Fuxi couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Guiyuan... what is the origin of your physical body? How can you see the pressure of Mount Buzhou as nothing?"

Guiyuan did not hide anything and answered in a calm tone: "I was born in an era when ferocious beasts ravaged the primordial world. In terms of seniority, I should be ranked alongside the ancestors of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans."

However, for some reason, he has been confined to the North Sea and has never been born.

Upon hearing this, both Fuxi and Nuwa were shaken. Although they could see that Guiyuan was extraordinary, they had not expected that his origins were so ancient, making him a first-generation innate deity on par with the ancestors of the three races!

Guiyuan paid no attention to their surprise, still pondering in his heart.

He discovered that the earliest innate deities to take human form, such as himself, Zulong, Yuanfeng, and Shiqilin, all seemed to have exceptionally strong physical foundations.

Later figures like Fuxi, Nuwa, and even the yet-to-be-born Sanqing and Kunpeng, tended to focus more on their understanding and application of the laws of heaven and earth.

Is there some reason behind this?

Is it the difference in birth time that leads to the difference in innate endowments?

Or is it... related to the evolution of the primordial world?

Guiyuan had many questions in his mind, and his split-mindedness only made Fuxi and Nuwa feel more discouraged.

Fuxi paused slightly, as the oppressive atmosphere made it difficult for him to concentrate on speaking. "Fellow Daoist Guiyuan, it really is... relaxing!"

A hint of forbearance flashed across Nuwa's beautiful face as she silently followed behind Fuxi.

Fuxi's words brought Guiyuan back to his senses. Guiyuan said, "I still have some understanding of body-refining methods, but your origins are innate Yin and Yang."

As long as one can harness the yin and yang of heaven and earth, there will be no shortage of resources to enhance the physical body.

"This is a perfect opportunity to temper myself using the oppressive force of this place, what do you say?"

Fuxi and Nuwa exchanged a glance. Fuxi said, "This is Fellow Daoist Guiyuan's own enlightenment. We..."

"It's nothing, just some insights. I hope they're helpful to you." Guiyuan didn't mind, as he had always intended to befriend the two siblings.

Compared to the Three Pure Ones and the Witch Clan, Fuxi and Nuwa, the brother and sister, were among the most peaceful people in the primordial world.

Aside from the major karmic consequence of having his limbs severed, Guiyuan didn't have any conflicts with them.

Guiyuan stopped and looked at Fuxi and Nuwa beside him, who were clearly resisting the pressure.

Fuxi said gratefully, "Fellow Daoist, please speak. We are all ears."

Guiyuan didn't hold back and spoke directly.

He explained in detail how his innate "Mysterious Tortoise Supporting the Sky" technique was compared with the body-refining system in the world of immortality.

"Do you know the Wu tribe?" Guiyuan asked as he spoke.

Fuxi and Nuwa nodded. "We've met them before. Um... they seem to be a little different from us."

After all, it was born on Buzhou Mountain, and Fuxi and Nuwa had seen it.

"The Wu Clan possesses formidable physical strength, and their essence is that of innate divinity."

You wield the Great Dao within your souls, manifesting supernatural powers; they, however, wield the Great Dao within their physical bodies, every gesture imbued with the mighty power of the Law.

He pointed to himself, "Does this mean that the physical body can also be a vessel for carrying the Great Dao?"

Fuxi asked in confusion, "But our origins are different. That Ancestral Witch seems to be able to temper his body with the turbid and evil energy of the earth."

"That's because of their origins. You two siblings were born with innate Yin and Yang. Naturally, you can also draw upon the Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth to temper your Dao bodies and imprint Dao characters on your own bodies."

His voice was steady, but what he said made Fuxi and Nuwa's eyes light up.

Fuxi and Nuwa possessed such profound understanding that they grasped the key points in an instant.

Fuxi clapped his hands, his eyes gleaming with the light of deduction: "Wonderful! To imprint the innate Dao script upon one's own Dao—this method is the magnificent Dao!"

Upon receiving Guiyuan's guidance, Fuxi and Nuwa's eyes lit up.

They no longer forcibly used their internal energy to resist the immense pressure from Pangu surrounding them, but instead regarded it as a whetstone.

The two figures swayed, their innate Dao bodies fading away, revealing their original forms born in response to the Dao.

Fuxi's lower body transformed into a winding dragon tail, its scales shimmering with mysterious runes.

Nuwa then revealed a long snake tail, her skin was smooth and lustrous, and she naturally interacted with the yin energy of heaven and earth.

This method focuses on refining one's fundamental origins and foundations; the innate Daoist body is secondary.

In an instant.

The yin and yang energies of the surrounding world were drawn in, flowing like rivers into the sea, continuously nourishing their bodies.
