The Primordial World.
Beside the entrance to a small canyon near the East Sea, a canyon tens of thousands of zhang deep and stretching for hundreds of millions of miles, grew a vast expanse of dazzling, multicolored flowers.
Among this vast expanse of flowers, one extraordinarily strange, fiery-red bloom swayed in the wind.
Its flowers bloomed without leaves, and its leaves grew without flowers. This flower was a Manjusaka, also known in later generations as... the Shore Flower.
The Shore Flower bloomed for a thousand years, then withered for a thousand years. Its flowers and leaves would never meet, like the cycle of cause and effect, and the fickleness of Destiny.
At that moment, the consciousness of this Manjusaka seemed to awaken. It gave off a faint red glow as Innate Spiritual Energy from between heaven and earth poured into it without end.
The years changed and time flowed on. In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had passed.
"I actually transmigrated into the Primordial World... and my origin is a Shore Flower?"
Bai Yu sighed, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Having accepted his fate, Bai Yu was also somewhat puzzled. According to legend, the Shore Flower was a flower of the Netherworld that bloomed along the Yellow Springs Road.
The Primordial World had only just been created, and even the Six Paths of Reincarnation had yet to appear, let alone the Yellow Springs Road. How could the Shore Flower have appeared?
Unable to figure it out, Bai Yu stopped thinking about it.
As for how Bai Yu knew that this was the famed Primordial World, and that it was still at the very beginning of its creation...
Naturally, it was because of his Innate Inheritance.
The living beings of the Primordial World at present could all be called extraordinary. They were all Innate Beings, even Innate Divine Beings, with extraordinary origins and profound blessings. All of them possessed an Innate Inheritance.
Of course, Bai Yu was merely an ordinary Innate Being, not an Innate Divine Being like the Three Pure Ones.
"Good thing I still have a Golden Finger, but... this Primordial World... is truly terrifying..."
Bai Yu's expression was extremely grave. He had discovered that this Primordial World was terrifying to an abnormal degree!
Before transmigrating, Primordial Stream novels had been Bai Yu's favorite kind to read, so he was extremely familiar with the Primordial World.
And with so many Primordial Stream novels, the power levels naturally varied. Some were absurdly powerful, while others were pitifully weak.
For instance, the one that had left a deep impression on Bai Yu was, "Sages can only take ten-meter steps..."
There was also the one where a Sage's full-strength palm strike blew up a thousand-meter-tall mountain...
Those Sages were there for laughs.
Bai Yu could guarantee that the Primordial World he was in now was absolutely a high-powered version!
Just how high-powered was it?
The cultivation realms in this Primordial World, from lowest to highest, were: Heavenly Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal, and Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
At the beginning of the Primordial World's creation, ordinary Innate Beings like Bai Yu started at the Heavenly Immortal realm.
But Bai Yu, an utterly ordinary, unremarkable, newly born Heavenly Immortal, had comprehended three Origin Laws-"cause and effect," "reincarnation," and "Destiny"-thanks to his Innate Inheritance.
This was just ridiculous!
According to his Innate Inheritance, comprehending a single Origin Law of heaven and earth was enough to attain the Heavenly Immortal realm, while fully mastering one Origin Law was what made one complete.
A Mysterious Immortal entered the Mysterious Realm and became a Mysterious Immortal: profound beyond measure, the gateway to all mysteries.
A Golden Immortal had the Five Qi Ascending to the Origin and an immortal physical body.
Taiyi: when essence was preserved, spirit was born. A Taiyi being was a spirit of heaven and earth. With an undying primordial spirit and an immortal physical body, one was called a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
A Daluo Golden Immortal had the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, with no flaws or leaks from then on, perfect and without blemish. Once proven, it was proven forever. One could comprehend an Origin Great Dao, exist neither in the past nor the future, but only in the present moment.
Bai Yu no longer knew what to say. In some Primordial World novels, one could only comprehend laws after reaching the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, and completely mastering a single law was enough to attain the Dao and become a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
But here, Heavenly Immortals began comprehending Origin Laws, and only completely mastering a single Origin Law constituted the state of great completion.
The Mysterious Immortal realm was even more outrageous. According to the description in his Innate Inheritance, the Mysterious Immortal realm was exceptionally special and profound. One could sense the River of Time in the Primordial World, and even briefly enter it.
By relying on the cause and effect and Destiny entangled between oneself and one's enemy, one could instantly locate that enemy in the River of Time and annihilate them, killing them completely.
So a Heavenly Immortal could be said to be completely helpless before a Mysterious Immortal.
And as long as you were still in the Primordial World, there was no escaping, either.
This was an inescapable method.
As for a Golden Immortal, put simply, its physical body was immortal. Unless one targeted its primordial spirit, it was basically impossible to kill.
A Primordial Unity Golden Immortal was even more impossible to deal with. Its primordial spirit did not perish, and from then on, its physical body was immortal and its primordial spirit undying. It no longer had any obvious weaknesses.
The difficulty of killing a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal was so immense as to be almost impossible.
Though it was not absolute, one could also attack from the River of Time-in other words, swim upstream through the River of Time, return to the past, and kill one's enemy while they were still weak.
However, the other party could also swim upstream through the River of Time. That made things extremely awkward. So completely killing a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal of the same realm was very troublesome and difficult.
As for the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, one was already proving the Great Dao.
A Daluo Golden Immortal was already on the path to transcendence, without flaw or leak, proven once and proven forever. All versions of oneself across time and space were the self of the present moment. One existed neither in the past nor the future, so a Daluo Golden Immortal could not be dealt with through the River of Time.
To a Daluo Golden Immortal, the River of Time was already like a plaything.
Moreover, one had comprehended an Origin Great Dao.
Laws were the operating rules of a world, the patterns by which heaven and earth naturally moved. That was why laws existed in every world.
If laws did not exist, the world would collapse and cease to be.
A world's strength determined the strength of its laws.
The strength of a world's laws, in turn, was tied to the strength of that world.
All in all, it was rather complicated to understand.
No two worlds were exactly alike, so the Origin Laws of each world were different as well.
That meant the power of the laws you comprehended in one world would be affected once you entered another, entirely new world.
If the laws of your world were weaker than those of that other world, you would be restricted at every turn and subjected to all kinds of suppression.
If the laws of your world were stronger than those of that other world, then not only would you face no restrictions, you would become even more formidable and terrifying. You might even completely crush that world's Origin Laws and stand above all living beings and even the world itself!
The Origin Great Dao, on the other hand, was revered by all the myriad worlds of the heavens.
The Origin Great Dao stood above the Origin Laws and transcended the worlds of the heavens. It was a power on a higher level than the power of laws.
Before a Daluo Golden Immortal, under the power of the Origin Great Dao, the so-called immortal physical body and undying primordial spirit of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal were a joke.
So with a leap between levels like this, there was simply no such thing as defeating an enemy an entire major realm above you.
A Heavenly Immortal was a joke before a Mysterious Immortal. You could not even escape.
A Mysterious Immortal was also a joke before a Golden Immortal. You could not even break through its defenses, let alone kill it.
As for a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal dealing with a Golden Immortal, it could simply annihilate the other's primordial spirit. What did an immortal physical body matter then?
As for a Daluo Golden Immortal, no matter how many Primordial Unity Golden Immortals there were or how powerful they were, a Daluo Golden Immortal could wipe out hundreds of millions upon hundreds of millions with a wave of its hand. What difference was there between them and ants or dust?
Because they had comprehended an Origin Great Dao, Daluo Golden Immortals were true powerhouses throughout the Myriad Heavens and Worlds!
Above the Daluo Golden Immortal was the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, a terrifying existence that had attained the Great Dao and completely mastered an Origin Great Dao. Such beings were top-tier powerhouses throughout the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.
Because a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal had completely mastered an Origin Great Dao, it was also known as a Great Dao Realm powerhouse.
As for whether realms higher than the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal existed, Bai Yu truly had no idea.
