Reshaping the Origin

Hong Jun's manifestation came quickly and departed just as quickly. The upheaval of the Primordial Wilderness's Heavenly Dao lasted less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

Yet this did nothing to diminish the majesty of that supreme figure. Every living being in the Primordial Wilderness now knew the power of "Hongjun the Daoist."

And now, the Innate Divine Saints faced a choice.

Should they go to Hong Jun's sermon or not?

Not a single Innate Divine Saint could refuse such a temptation.

"So, little sister, are you going?" Fu Xi looked at Nuwa. He had naturally decided to go.

But Nuwa was different. As a Great Luo Supreme, she seemed to have far more room to choose.

"...I'll go." Nuwa suddenly seemed to deflate, and her expression became much livelier.

"Even the Great Luo Dao Realm can't see through this person at all..."

The mere fact that there was a realm beyond Da Luo was already enough to shock Nuwa.

Great Luo Supremes were eternally singular throughout endless Time-Space. This was itself a kind of limit. One could continue advancing within the Da Luo Realm, but would still remain within the scope of Da Luo.

What lay beyond Da Luo completely surpassed Nuwa's understanding.

Moreover, relying on the Great Luo Divine Mystery, Nuwa could vaguely sense that the Heavenly Dao was about to change, yet she could do nothing to alter it.

"Xuansu, do you know..." Nuwa asked instinctively.

"Teacher, I really don't know!" Fang Xun interrupted, his expression somewhat strange.

"Cough, cough!" Nuwa immediately came to her senses. After two light coughs, she put on the stern dignity of a teacher. "Then why aren't you back cultivating? You've already entered the Xuan Su Scripture, yet you still haven't reached the Heavenly Immortal realm?"

Only when Nuwa's gaze fell on Fang Xun did she realize that, over the past three years, his cultivation had not advanced in the slightest!

Honestly, after listening to a Da Luo teach for three years, even unconscious acquired vegetation should have become immortal!

"Uh..." Fang Xun was somewhat embarrassed. "Teacher, the path I chose may be a little difficult..."

As he spoke, a towering tree appeared behind him.

Compared to the Innate Dao Tree he had been just after his Transformation, Fang Xun's true body had changed completely.

The flawless White Jade Tree Body glimmered faintly with threads of multicolored light. Its trunk was like a pillar holding up the heavens, its crown like a vast canopy of the sky, filling the firmament and blotting out the sun.

Even more wondrously, the tree's roots flickered in and out of view, deeply rooted in the void as they continuously absorbed the mysteries of the Great Dao, carrying the aura of ten thousand Daos returning to one.

"A World Tree?"

"A Myriad Dao Tree?"

"You spent three years reforging your Dao foundation?"

Nuwa and Fu Xi both felt their eyes light up.

"This disciple felt that his foundation was too weak. If I wished to go further on the path of cultivation, I had no choice but to resort to this measure."

Fang Xun had truly gone all in, pouring the essence of three years of a Da Luo's teachings into reforging his foundation. Otherwise, he would certainly have attained the Heavenly Immortal realm by now.

Innate Divine Saints naturally did not need to worry about having weak foundations, but that did not stop them from appreciating such an approach.

"Good!" Nuwa nodded approvingly. "Since you possess such a heart for seeking the Dao, I, as your teacher, cannot simply stand by..."

Spiritual Light flickered in her eyes. Who knew what arrangements she had already made with that Great Luo Divine Mystery.

At one moment, she suddenly reached into the void and pulled out two clusters of light.

"Nine Heavens and Nine Nether?" Fu Xi, standing nearby, was also stunned by the objects in Nuwa's hands.

They were two innate spiritual objects, corresponding respectively to the uppermost and lowermost extremes of the Primordial Wilderness!

"Take them. Achieve your Golden Immortal Dao Fruit soon."

Fang Xun's expression turned solemn as he seriously accepted the two innate spiritual objects. He could also sense that they perfectly matched his current state of reaching the highest heavens and descending to Yellow Springs.

"Thank you, Teacher."

"Go." Nuwa nodded and waved her hand, sending Fang Xun back to his cave abode.

"Xuansu has hope of reaching Da Luo in the future. That's good. With him around, you'll suffer fewer losses as well," Fu Xi said from the side.

This time, Fu Xi's judgment was no longer based solely on cultivation. It was also because of what Fang Xun had said before Di Jun.

This martial nephew of his seemed to possess an extraordinarily sharp insight into the situation of the Primordial Wilderness.

"What do you mean, I'll suffer fewer losses? Who could make me suffer?" Great Luo Supreme Nuwa glared at Fu Xi.

"If Di Jun truly gathers a force later, don't step in. I'll handle it." Fu Xi's expression turned grave as he began making plans for the future.

Nuwa's face darkened, but she did not refute him.

At this moment, Fang Xun knew nothing of the outside world. He only knew that he had obtained another great opportunity.

"Having a good teacher really does let you soar to the heavens in a single step!"

Fang Xun directly absorbed both innate spiritual objects into his true body.

The Nine Heavens Cloud and Nine Netherworld Soil represented the upper and lower poles of the Primordial Wilderness. Either one alone was an exceedingly rare innate spiritual object, while together they contained the Dao Rhyme of the Primordial Wilderness's two poles.

Had Nuwa not already reached the Da Luo Realm, gathering these two innate spiritual objects would still have required vast amounts of time and effort.

The boundless Primordial Wilderness was not merely an empty phrase. Even Taiyi Golden Immortals could not traverse it, and only the Space-Time Singularity of Da Luo allowed one to appear freely anywhere within the Primordial Wilderness.

As the two innate spiritual objects entered his body, Fang Xun felt his primordial spirit stretch infinitely, each part reaching one extreme of heaven and earth.

At the same time, the roots of his Dao Tree true body grew at incredible speed. Guided by the two innate spiritual objects, they truly reached the highest heavens above and Yellow Springs below!

This was also the mystery of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

A Heavenly Immortal was an immortal of the Heavenly Dao. Their consciousness could directly sense the Heavenly Dao, know its vastness and majesty, and through it comprehend the splendor of the myriad Daos beneath it.

Invoke Deity! Fang Xun invoked the deity once more, and the mystery of the Three Pure Ones as one appeared upon him again.

His Innate Dao Tree body continued changing, its foundation steadily growing day by day.

Originally, Fang Xun had undergone Transformation as a True Immortal. In the current Primordial Wilderness, his aptitude could be considered among the lowest tier.

Fortunately, with the Chat Group's help, along with the Xuan Su Scripture and the Nine Heavens and Nine Nether spiritual objects, both his upper and lower limits were being raised.

"Still... three thousand Yuan Hui probably won't be enough."

Comparing it against his current progress, Fang Xun shook his head slightly. He felt some regret, but also a sense of release.

One Yuan Hui was one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years, and three thousand Yuan Hui was no short span even in the present Primordial Wilderness.

But Fang Xun was now following the path of the "World Tree" and "Myriad Dao Tree." Nurturing his origin was a major problem, and even three thousand Yuan Hui might not be enough.

Then, just as the big shots in the group had predicted, he would miss the Dao Ancestor's Sermon.

"At least I won't have to owe this enormous debt of Yinguo..."

Fang Xun could only console himself this way before immersing himself so deeply in cultivation that he could not pull free.

During this time, Nuwa personally came to Fang Xun's cave abode. Using the Way of Creation to reverse the innate, she placed Fang Xun in a strange state.

It was as though he had returned to a mother's womb, yet also as though he had returned to the state before his Transformation. He no longer sensed the passage of time, and only this Myriad Heavens Dao Tree grew wildly.

Thus, centuries and millennia passed in the blink of an eye. Even ten thousand years seemed ordinary. Only Yuan Hui, as a unit of time, was worth noticing.

After three thousand Yuan Hui...
