Primordial Saint

The Teaching of Humanity and the Intercepting Teaching ultimately left Kunlun Mountain. They headed into the Primordial Wilderness in search of their own futures.

Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand, dismissing his disciples to return to their Daoist Temples and cultivate. He himself remained seated in the Three Pure Ones Palace, staring blankly at the empty hall.

A sigh echoed through the great hall, but this time, no other voice answered Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Joy and sorrow, partings and reunions. So this is the joy and sorrow, partings and reunions spoken of by all living beings of the Wu Clan."

Parting was the norm in life. No one could accompany another person for an entire lifetime.

For the sake of his own Dao path, had Meng Chen not also left his imperial father, his clansmen, and his homeland to come all the way to Kunlun Mountain?

Yuanshi Tianzun sat in the Three Pure Ones Palace for three whole years. Only after three years did he emerge from it.

As he stepped out, the gates of the Three Pure Ones Palace shut tightly. A Jade Purity Divine Seal flew from Yuanshi Tianzun's hand and struck the palace gates.

A hemispherical barrier appeared over the Three Pure Ones Palace, completely sealing it away in the past.

By then, the disciples of the Chan Sect had long since returned to their respective Daoist Temples to digest the gains from the Dao Discussion Assembly. Of all the disciples, Meng Chen was the busiest.

He had to comprehend the Great Dao Divine Script, refine the Innate Spirit Pill, and deal with the Myriad Dragon Whip.

Fortunately, the Plant Spirit Race had pledged allegiance to him, so he was no longer alone. The experts of the Plant Spirit Race could help him condense Three Lights Divine Water, saving him a great deal of effort.

Meng Chen promised that for every ten thousand drops of Three Lights Divine Water the Plant Spirit Race condensed, they would receive one drop of Three Lights Divine Water.

Upon hearing this good news, the Plant Spirit Race experts eagerly signed up to help Meng Chen complete the task. According to them, they had not come for the Three Lights Divine Water; they mainly wanted to pledge loyalty to Meng Chen.

Meng Chen was not worried that the Plant Spirit Race would run off with the Three Lights Divine Water Bottle. Who would dare steal a treasure of the Chan Sect?

Having settled the matter of the Three Lights Divine Water Bottle, Meng Chen entered seclusion without worry.

First, he needed to transform into a Primordial Saint.

Meng Chen opened his mouth, tossed the Innate Spirit Pill inside, and swallowed it at lightning speed.

Bang!

As the Innate Spirit Pill entered his body, immense origin power erupted and instantly reached every part of Meng Chen's body. Feeling the potent medicinal power within him, Meng Chen transformed into an Azure Dragon thirty million li long, using his true Azure Dragon body to refine the Innate Spirit Pill.

Meng Chen had only just reached adulthood, so his dragon body was not yet large enough. Once his cultivation rose, he could use Kunlun Mountain as a pillow and sleep upon it.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

Every scale on Meng Chen's body began to emit a faint Divine Light, while the azure radiance around him grew increasingly intense. The medicinal power of the Innate Spirit Pill continuously remolded his body, making it more compatible with the Great Dao.

Azure Dragon Lord Cangwu opened the formation of the Boundless Tree Sea, allowing the Dao charm of heaven and earth to flow into Meng Chen's body. He stood guard with utmost vigilance, protecting Meng Chen and refusing to allow any idlers within half a step of the Boundless Tree Sea.

Although Meng Chen was a saint's disciple, it would still be troublesome if some foolhardy figure barged into the Boundless Tree Sea.

With every breath, Meng Chen seemed to return to his time as an embryo. His mind was utterly clear and pure, without the slightest impurity. He completely merged with heaven and earth, breathing with them and sharing their fate.

He could sense the pulse of heaven and earth. At every moment, heaven and earth absorbed chaotic energy. After being transformed by the Earth Veins, heavenly veins, and water veins, the chaotic energy became spiritual energy.

Gradually, the route and rhythm through which the medicinal power within Meng Chen flowed synchronized with the flow of chaotic energy through the Earth Veins. Before he knew it, Meng Chen fell into a deep sleep.

His consciousness circulated endlessly through heaven and earth alongside the energy of heaven and earth.

At times, he was all living beings; at times, he was mountains, rivers, and streams. He perceived heaven and earth and understood the common people through the turning of the four seasons.

Azure Dragon Lord Cangwu directly manifested his true Azure Dragon body. His dragon form, as massive as a heavenly pillar, stood between heaven and earth. His dragon might was overwhelming, crushing endless space and time. Any living being that tried to approach the Boundless Tree Sea would suffer Azure Dragon Lord Cangwu's full-force strike.

At the critical moment of Meng Chen's transformation into a Primordial Saint, Azure Dragon Lord Cangwu did not dare let down his guard in the slightest. There was only one Innate Spirit Pill and only one chance to transform into a Primordial Saint. Azure Dragon Lord Cangwu would not allow anyone to sabotage it.

Some Chan Sect disciples who had not yet entered seclusion gazed toward the Boundless Tree Sea and were intimidated by Azure Dragon Lord Cangwu's might. They suddenly realized that Meng Chen was truly easygoing.

Although Meng Chen was closer within the sect to Guang Chengzi, Yellow Dragon True Man, Cihang Zhenren, and Yu Ding Zhenren, he had never suppressed or treated any of his other fellow disciples unfairly.

In the blink of an eye, nine Yuanhui passed.

Throughout those nine Yuanhui, Meng Chen's consciousness had existed alongside heaven and earth, becoming one with all things.

When he was the wind, he swept through the mountain peaks and overlooked the countless mountains. When he was sand, he drifted with the wind over Heavenly Mountain, enjoying incomparable comfort.

Yet he was not always wind, rain, thunder, or lightning. He also became living beings, became all living beings. Like Pangu, he scattered into countless lives.

He was the Demon Race, the Wu Clan, the Human Race, and the Dragon Clan. Once, he even became a western living being dwelling in misery and suffering.

He did nothing, for he was merely an observer and could do nothing. He could only use the living being that bore his consciousness to perceive heaven and earth.

As time passed, Meng Chen returned to his own body carrying countless insights and endless Dao charm.

The moment he awakened, he had completely absorbed the medicinal power of the Innate Spirit Pill. Innate runes appeared on every one of his scales, and his dragon body grew from thirty million li to ninety million li.

Boom!

The aura of a Primordial Saint surged from Meng Chen's body, spreading across half of Kunlun Mountain. Every living being that sensed this aura felt awe in their hearts.

Meng Chen sensed Calamity Fate constantly pouring into the crown of his head. At that moment, his destiny, his fortune, and his opportunities all underwent earth-shaking changes.

A favored child of the Heavenly Dao, blessed by the fortune of heaven and earth, guaranteed entry into the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm... Meng Chen had finally obtained all of these!

Not only that, Meng Chen's cultivation advanced once more.

His mana penetrated the past timeline, reaching directly back to the moment of his birth and occupying every past timeline before his current point in time.

With only a thought, he could gather the past timelines and enter the second realm of Taiyi. But he was in no hurry; he was still accumulating.

Building up for a powerful breakthrough was the cultivation plan he had set for himself. The River of Fate was such an excellent cheat that he could not casually abandon it.

Once he had accumulated enough, he would leap from the early stage of Grand Golden Immortal directly to the peak of Great Luo.

Though he could not advance in realm, his primordial spirit, physical body, mana, and divine abilities had all already broken through. The only thing that had not broken through was the defining trait of his realm.

The defining traits of minor realms did not affect a cultivator's strength. Whether he broke through or not made little difference in truth.
