The Grand Primordial Cosmos.
By then, Bai Yu had entered secluded cultivation, adjusting his condition in preparation for breaking through to Golden Immortal.
In the blink of an eye, a Yuanhui Era passed.
"My Five Elements essence has reached absolute perfection. Now I can begin my breakthrough."
Looking at the five great innate spiritual roots before him—the Bodhi Tree, Ginseng Fruit Tree, Peach Tree of Immortality, Fusang Tree, and Yellow Zhongli Plum—he nodded in satisfaction.
Five Energies Converge meant condensing five kinds of innate essence origin within the five organs: the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and spleen. The five energies circulated, endlessly regenerating, undying and imperishable. This was what it meant to be a Golden Immortal.
"Step one: condense innate metal source geng energy."
Bai Yu turned his gaze to the Bodhi Tree. With a stir of his divine sense, it slipped directly into his lungs. He then activated his refining method, returning it to its source and refining the Bodhi Tree into a seed of innate metal geng energy, which merged into his lungs.
This could not be accomplished in a single leap. It required time.
Incredibly dense and supremely pure metal geng energy enveloped Bai Yu. At that moment, the vitality within him was terrifyingly immense.
It contained the vitality of an entire Greater World. At its very source, a speck of immortal golden light was emerging, gathering without dispersing.
Another Yuanhui Era passed in the blink of an eye.
The source seed of innate metal geng energy fully took root and sprouted within his lungs. A speck of undying, imperishable golden light shimmered.
Though its radiance was faint, it had at least taken shape.
"Step two: condense innate wood source yi energy."
Bai Yu turned his gaze to the Yellow Zhongli Plum. With a stir of his divine sense, it slipped directly into his liver. He then activated his refining method, returning it to its source and refining the Yellow Zhongli Plum into a seed of innate wood yi energy, which merged into his liver.
Another Yuanhui Era passed in the blink of an eye.
That speck of undying, imperishable golden divine light shone even more brilliantly and grew even more complete.
"Step three..."
"Step four..."
In the blink of an eye, nearly five Yuanhui Eras had passed since Bai Yu began his breakthrough...
Five Yuanhui Eras amounted to well over six hundred thousand years. Still...
They were only five Yuanhui Eras. In the Grand Primordial Cosmos, that was nothing at all.
"The final step. Once I condense the last energy, innate earth source wu energy, everything will reach complete perfection. From then on, the five energies will circulate, endlessly regenerating..."
By then, only the Ginseng Fruit Tree remained before Bai Yu.
With a stir of his divine sense, the Ginseng Fruit Tree slipped directly into his spleen. He then activated his refining method, returning it to its source and refining the Yellow Zhongli Plum into a seed of innate earth wu energy, which merged into his spleen.
By then, the undying, imperishable golden light around Bai Yu was dazzling beyond measure. It flowed from his five organs into every limb and bone.
Bai Yu's entire body was bathed in golden divine radiance, his flesh ascending toward an undying, imperishable state.
Another Yuanhui Era passed.
As the source seed of innate earth wu energy fully took root and sprouted within his spleen, his essence origins reached complete perfection. The five great innate essence origins of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth began to sublime.
Five Energies Converge! A speck of immortal golden light rose from his five organs and ascended to the life palace between his brows.
At that moment, Bai Yu's body emitted a faint golden radiance, with the speck of golden light in his brow's life palace shining brightest of all.
That golden light possessed an undying, imperishable nature. From then on, the five energies within his body circulated, endlessly regenerating.
Golden Immortal—attained!
"So... this is an undying, imperishable body?"
Sensing the changes in his body, Bai Yu nodded in satisfaction, a slight smile appearing on his face.
Host: Bai Yu Innate nature: innate manjusaka Realm: early Golden Immortal stage (source immortal path system) Cultivation method: Grand Origin Source Scripture Source laws: cause and effect (perfection), destiny (perfection), time (perfection), space (perfection), Five Elements (perfection), Yin-Yang (perfection)... Source Great Dao: none
Now, Bai Yu had condensed his Undying Immortal Body and formally entered the Golden Immortal realm. Of course, he was only at the early Golden Immortal stage.
To advance beyond the early Golden Immortal stage, he would need to imprint the source power of the source laws he controlled onto his flesh.
Starting from the five organs within his body, the process would only reach perfection when the divine light of law sources flowed through every limb and bone.
Then, through physical strength alone, every movement he made would be accompanied by the power of laws.
And that was not all. Because his flesh had been imprinted with the power of law sources, it would also develop resistance to the power of source laws, granting a degree of exemption from damage inflicted by law power.
Though it could not grant complete immunity, it was still incredibly powerful and terrifying. He could truly stand there and let someone strike him without suffering a scratch.
While the power of law sources was being imprinted, it would also temper his flesh.
The Golden Immortal realm was all about strengthening the flesh to its utmost, tempering and elevating every aspect without leaving a single blind spot.
It made the flesh not only undying and imperishable, but also immensely formidable.
It was both an Undying Immortal Body and a law-origin body!
Of course, this exemption from law power did not mean one was invincible.
Most Golden Immortals controlled no more than one source law. Thus, when they imprinted the source power of the law they had comprehended and mastered onto their flesh, the resulting resistance to law power was limited to that one law.
For example, if a Golden Immortal controlled the source law of wood, he would imprint its source power onto his flesh. His body would then possess a certain resistance to the power of the law of wood.
As for the power of other laws, its resistance was merely better than nothing.
Unless one comprehended and mastered multiple source laws, in which case one's physical resistance to law power would become more comprehensive.
In short, fairness did not truly exist in this world. That was simply how starkly realistic it was.
Of course, Bai Yu liked that realism. For him, it brought nothing but advantages, with no drawbacks whatsoever.
Well, time to cheat again!
"So this is pushing me to comprehend and master every source law..."
"Still, I have to say, it really gives me something to strive for..."
Bai Yu felt brimming with motivation. Though this would consume vast amounts of his time, time was the least valuable thing in the Primordial Wilderness.
For Bai Yu, who was already undying, imperishable, and eternally alive, time? What was that? Lifespan? Sorry, his lifespan was infinite.
Moreover, unlike others, Bai Yu did not find comprehending source laws all that difficult, even if it was not easy.
At least, for the vast majority of beings in the Primordial Wilderness, no matter how much time they had, they could only follow a single road all the way into the dark.
Only a handful of innate sacred beings—favored by heaven and earth, blessed with extraordinary innate natures and comprehension, and born with abundant blessings—found it somewhat easier to comprehend multiple source laws.
The reasons included their innate natures, their comprehension, heaven and earth, their fortune and blessings, and so on.
Though Bai Yu was merely an ordinary innate being of the Primordial Wilderness, with a fixed ceiling on his achievements, who could blame him for having a cheat?!
