Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

"This state...is not quite right." Jiang Hao stretched out his finger and pointed in the air. A subtle aura emanated and gently touched the remaining Daoist charm on the surface of the remains.

The feedback from the aura made Jiang Hao frown even more.

"This is clearly not a normal transformation for Yuanshi Tianzun, nor does it seem like he is using a secret method to preserve his life force after his lifespan has ended." He withdrew his finger and turned to look at Lingbao Tianzun.

"It's more like suffering some kind of extremely severe Dao injury, forcing one to enter this deepest slumber in order to seek a glimmer of hope."

Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun also took a few steps closer to carefully sense it.

He was a master of killing and ending, and his perception of injuries was equally acute.

A moment later, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang is right," Lingbao Tianzun's voice deepened.

"The remains do indeed bear the marks of wounds."

"But who could possibly hurt Yuanshi Tianzun?" Jiang Hao asked curiously. He knew that Yuanshi Tianzun was extremely powerful. Throughout the entire mythological era, apart from Dao Zun, no one could have injured Yuanshi Tianzun to such an extent.

"I have the same question," said Lingbao Tianzun, pausing for a moment, his eyes filled with recollection and contemplation.

"I attained enlightenment later than Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, and I know very little about his later years. I have only heard rumors that in one of Fellow Daoist Yuanshi's past lives, he disappeared for a very long time, and it was difficult for the heavens to find him."

"and then?"

"And then..." Lingbao Tianzun tried hard to recall.

"He seems to have appeared again, but only briefly, and then disappeared completely. At the time, there were rumors that he might have followed in the footsteps of the Daoist Master and embarked on that path of no return, while others said that he had vanished into the world. Now it seems..."

He looked at the sleeping spirit, his tone complex:

"Now it seems that when he last appeared, he was probably already seriously injured. He was just holding on and found this final place of return for himself. And Dao Zun may have known this and left this life-saving contingency plan for him."

"To be able to injure Yuanshi Tianzun to this extent in that era..." Jiang Hao pondered, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on his side, "Besides Daozun himself, who else could it be?"

Lingbao Tianzun slowly shook his head, his face also showing confusion:

"This is precisely the most perplexing aspect. At the end of the mythological era, although there were many conflicts, there were virtually no beings who could threaten Fellow Daoist Yuanshi. If he were truly a mortal enemy, how could he have allowed him to find this place and set up an array?"

The two fell silent for a moment, their gazes once again falling on the remains that carried one of the mysteries of the mythical era.

After thinking for a while, the two felt that they didn't need to think so much. They could help Yuanshi Tianzun first. If Yuanshi Tianzun returned, they would know the whole story then.

Lingbao Tianzun thought so too.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, since we've encountered this, shall we lend Fellow Daoist Yuanshi a hand? Even if it's just to speed up this process of returning to the origin a little, it would be good."

"That's only right," Jiang Hao nodded.

Whether from Lingbao Tianzun's own words or from historical records, the evaluation of Yuanshi Tianzun, this mysterious celestial being, is very positive.

Jiang Hao was naturally happy to help.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Lingbao Tianzun smiled and then explained.

"To be honest, before I attained enlightenment in my early years, I was inspired by some of the scriptures left by my friend Yuanshi, which greatly benefited me."

"He was a truly magnanimous senior, with an excellent reputation in the mythological era."

His words were filled with respect and regret for his deceased friend.

Jiang Hao listened silently, and a sense of respect arose in him for this Yuanshi Tianzun, whom he had only heard of but never seen.

In the mythological era, there were supreme figures of extraordinary talent, such as Dao Zun, Yuan Shi, Ling Bao, and Ming Zun, who each went to their extremes. What a glorious and brilliant era that must have been!

Although Yuanshi Tianzun had never witnessed his strength in life, he could tell from the corpse and the Daoist aura that his strength was extremely powerful, no less than that of Lingbao Tianzun.

Without saying another word, the two began to fight.

Jiang Hao raised his hand, and the source of infinite vitality slowly flowed from his fingertips, like a trickle, into several key growth nodes of the formation.

Jiang Hao's innate quality is extremely high.

The moment the origin merged, the entire array trembled slightly, and the circulation speed visibly increased by a fraction, significantly improving its absorption efficiency in the void.

Upon seeing this, Lingbao Tianzun's spirits lifted, and he pointed his fingers like a sword, softly shouting, "Go!"

Behind him, the illusory images of the Four Immortal Swords transformed into four exquisitely refined sword threads, which gracefully probed into the array's network.

His sword intent is focused on ending, yet it also contains the profound truth that new life is born from the end.

At this moment, he carefully helped to smooth out the slightly sluggish array patterns caused by the passage of time, making them run more smoothly and efficiently.

Two of the world's most outstanding figures worked together for three whole days in this quiet little world.

Ultimately, the true spirit mark between the eyebrows of the remains of the Primordial Celestial Venerable did indeed shine brighter and more steadily than before.

Although still weak and far from awakening, the originally despairingly slow process has undoubtedly been accelerated somewhat.

Most importantly, the foundation of the entire Origin Returning Array was strengthened, and its operational efficiency was permanently improved.

Lingbao Tianzun withdrew the sword threads, and the illusory images of the Four Swords of Zhuxian disappeared.

He looked at the faint light, let out a long sigh of relief, and turned to bow solemnly to Jiang Hao:

"Many thanks to Fellow Daoist Jiang for your great help. Although the road ahead is still long, at least there is a bit more certain hope."

Jiang Hao waved his hand: "There is no need for thanks between fellow Daoists. Yuanshi Tianzun is a senior sage, and it is only right that I do my part in this matter."

To be honest, he was quite looking forward to the successful resurrection of this mysterious and powerful Primordial Celestial.

This way, we can not only learn about some secrets of the mythical era, but also have more fellow Daoists to discuss the Dao and move forward together. Isn't that wonderful!

Jiang Hao watched the true spirit slowly pulsating under the nourishment of the formation, his mind racing.

"This path of rejuvenation, which is almost a complete reshaping of the roots, is somewhat similar to my transformation in the mortal world and my return to simplicity, but it is a different path, mysterious and extraordinary. The methods of Dao Venerable and Yuanshi Tianzun are truly unfathomable."

"The mysteries contained within have great reference value for my fourth incarnation and even for my subsequent paths..."

The two lingered for a while longer to observe, confirming that the formation was operating smoothly and without any further obstruction, before finally leaving the small world.

Lingbao Tianzun once again used the Four Swords of Zhuxian to carefully reseal the void rift, and set up several layers of hidden sword formations as cover to prevent it from being discovered or disturbed.

After returning to Heaven, the two went their separate ways.

But in Jiang Hao's mind, the thoughts on the path to immortality and the method of revival have been enriched with a profound new dimension.

Jiang Hao has gone into seclusion again.

He carefully sorted out and repeatedly savored the many experiences and insights he had gained over the years in his Daoist mind.

The natural formation of the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit, from a spark of spirituality in chaos to the birth of a perfect spiritual embryo, is like a work of art personally sculpted by heaven and earth, interpreting the divine beauty of creation.

The origin of Yuanshi Tianzun was almost completely destroyed during the reconstruction of his source, but he preserved his source through heaven-defying means. In the eternal slumber, he slowly returned to his original state, pointing to a completely different path of revival and sublimation.
