Bai Yu was truly speechless. All he could do was give a thumbs-up and marvel at how powerful a Daluo Golden Immortal was. Words could no longer describe it.
There was no helping it. Bai Yu would just have to use his cheat!
At a thought, a panel radiating golden light appeared before Bai Yu:
Host: Bai Yu Innate nature: Innate Manjusaka Realm: Early-Stage Celestial Immortal (Source Immortal Path System) Cultivation techniques: Reincarnation Source Scripture, Karma Source Scripture, Destiny Source Scripture Source Laws: Reincarnation Source Law (30%), Karma Source Law (10%), Destiny Source Law (10%) Source Great Dao: None
Looking at the cultivation techniques listed there, Bai Yu could not help clicking his tongue. He was only an ordinary Innate Being, yet his inherited teachings were incredible.
Of course, Bai Yu did not let it go to his head. Other Innate Beings had inherited teachings just as impressive as his.
And the teachings inherited by Innate Sacred Beings blessed with great Fortune and good fortune would only be more powerful, more terrifying.
Then again, he should not have been so shocked. The Primordial World was absurd to begin with; the power displayed at each realm made that clear.
A soft red glow swirled, and Bai Yu took human form.
The Primordial Wilderness had only just been created, and the Heavenly Dao had yet to manifest. There was no Transformation Tribulation. Besides, as an Innate Being, Bai Yu had no tribulation to face when taking human form.
The Transformation Tribulation was a "benefit" reserved for beings born later.
The swaying Manjusaka vanished. In its place stood a young man with a face like polished jade and a slender figure. His fiery-red Daoist Robe, trimmed in gold, lent him a distinctive air of nobility and easy freedom. He was striking to behold.
His bewitching, fiery-red hair fell loosely to his waist. Golden light gleamed in the scarlet pupils of his beautifully shaped eyes, where the divine radiance of the Reincarnation Law, Karma Law, and Destiny Law flowed.
Noble, uncanny, otherworldly, free-spirited...
In the world Bai Yu had lived in before crossing over, he would have taken the whole world's breath away.
"Because the Earthly Way hasn't emerged and Reincarnation hasn't manifested, the Reincarnation Source Great Dao is incomplete?"
Bai Yu frowned, at a loss for words.
The Reincarnation Source Great Dao existed in the Primordial World. But because the Earthly Way had yet to emerge and Reincarnation had yet to manifest, that Source Great Dao was incomplete.
And because the Reincarnation Great Dao was incomplete, the Primordial World's Reincarnation Source Law was incomplete as well.
As a result, Bai Yu could neither comprehend the Reincarnation Law to Perfection nor gain complete control over it.
Only when Ancestral Witch Houtu transformed herself into Reincarnation, completed the Earthly Way, and manifested the Six Paths of Reincarnation would cultivators of the Primordial Wilderness be able to comprehend the Reincarnation Source Law to Perfection.
"Seriously... sigh... I can only give up on the Reincarnation Law."
Bai Yu shook his head helplessly. He had been born with thirty percent comprehension of the Reincarnation Law, while his comprehension of the Karma Law and Destiny Law stood at only ten percent each.
Comprehending a law to one hundred percent meant reaching Perfection. Only then could one control it completely, and only by controlling at least one Source Law could one advance to Profound Immortal.
Bai Yu could hardly remain a Celestial Immortal until Ancestral Witch Houtu transformed herself into Reincarnation. How long would that take?
The True Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans had not even appeared yet.
For now, the Primordial Wilderness was still the Fierce Beasts' playground.
There was no need to explain how terrifying Fierce Beasts were. Born from the resentment of the Three Thousand Chaos Demon Gods, they had undying bodies from birth. Their Primordial Spirits were steeped in resentment, chaotic and powerful, and exceedingly difficult to destroy.
The Innate Beings of the present Primordial Wilderness were not yet capable of dealing with the Ferocious Beast Clan. They could only let it run rampant for a while longer.
Bai Yu set those thoughts aside. What he needed to do now was work hard to comprehend the Source Laws and grow stronger as quickly as possible. Only the strong could command everything.
The weak were commanded by the strong.
Bai Yu did not look for a place to enter seclusion. This was already the place best suited to him.
Every Innate Being's birthplace was protected and hidden by an innate formation. For Bai Yu, nowhere was safer.
Sitting cross-legged, Bai Yu connected with the system.
Besides displaying basic information about him, the system had another extraordinarily powerful function: it could assist Bai Yu in comprehending laws. Once he reached Daluo Golden Immortal, it could even assist him in comprehending the Source Great Dao.
That was terrifying!
Bai Yu did not know what the system was or how it had appeared. Had it brought him to this Primordial World?
He was not going to dwell on any of that.
Because right now, he was still very weak.
The weak had no right to know.
And even if the system had designs of its own, Bai Yu did not care.
Without the system, he would have been an ordinary nine-to-five worker, destined to become a mound of yellow earth a century later.
How else could he have gained all this? How else could he have found a chance to become truly strong?
Even if the system caused his death someday, even if everything proved to be flowers in a mirror and the moon on water, Bai Yu felt that after seeing so many wonders... he had gotten his money's worth!
"Begin Dao Comprehension Assistance."
Bai Yu activated Dao Comprehension Assistance.
In an instant, insight dawned. His Primordial Spirit emptied, and the Source Laws between heaven and earth appeared before him without the slightest veil.
Bai Yu could not help clicking his tongue. To comprehend the Source Laws, others had to "part the clouds and mist to see the bright moon."
The Source Laws of heaven and earth seemed shrouded and concealed by dense clouds and mist, making them extremely difficult to comprehend.
And the more complete the Heavenly Dao became, the deeper the Source Laws would hide and the harder they would be to comprehend.
So the dawn of the Primordial Wilderness could be called the best era for cultivation.
But even then, comprehending the Source Laws was hardly easy.
Bai Yu's situation was unheard of. If anyone else learned of it, they would be beside themselves with envy.
This could no longer be called comprehension. It was as though the Source Laws of heaven and earth were reaching out to embrace Bai Yu.
Cause and effect: where there was a cause, there must be an effect. All things and all living beings were bound by cause and effect.
The Karma Law was undoubtedly among the most profound of laws, even more mysterious than the laws of time and space.
And the Destiny Law was more mysterious and harder to comprehend still.
Both the Karma Law and the Destiny Law ranked among the hardest laws to comprehend.
Destiny was ever-changing yet followed a path; every rise and fall had its cause and effect. Destiny was unpredictable, while cause and effect followed an order...
As his comprehension of the Destiny Law and Karma Law advanced rapidly, Bai Yu discovered something astonishing. In one mysterious respect, the two laws existed in symbiosis. They seemed much alike, yet each was distinct. It was wondrous beyond measure.
