Great Dao Body

Lin Tian slowly closed his eyes, sinking his mind deep into his consciousness to carefully perceive the Chaos Great Dao Art within his mind.

"Ten thousand paths return to one—that is Chaos..."

The art was profoundly obscure, demanding thorough comprehension.

Lin Tian took a deep breath, and with a thought, he drew a wisp of purple qi and a drop of Great Dao blood from the Chaos Pearl.

"If I recall, doesn't the Chaos Pearl have the ability to conceal one's aura? The moment I arrived in Chaos, the Great Dao detected me?"

Lin Tian was deeply puzzled.

Just then, the Chaos Pearl transmitted another message.

After a moment, Lin Tian finally understood.

The crossing had consumed too much energy, causing his aura to leak for that instant.

Thus, the Great Dao had sensed an unfamiliar presence.

That was what had happened earlier.

"So that's how it is."

Having grasped the full sequence of events, Lin Tian felt considerably relieved.

After making his preparations, Lin Tian unhesitatingly embarked on his very first cultivation session within Chaos.

In an instant, the dense Chaos Qi around him, as if drawn by some immense gravitational force, surged unceasingly toward his body and swiftly burrowed into him.

As time passed, Lin Tian's form gradually grew clearer—his originally ethereal body solidifying bit by bit.

Every strand of Chaos Qi that merged into him made his flesh stronger and more resilient.

Unknowingly, countless long kalpas slipped by.

Lin Tian, who had remained in a state of stillness, suddenly opened his eyes, two sharp beams of light shooting forth.

"I've finally succeeded in condensing a body!"

Lin Tian's face was full of delighted surprise as he murmured to himself, "And it's actually the Great Dao Body! This physique is probably far more powerful than even Pangu's Innate Dao Body!"

Lin Tian stood up, stretching his limbs and extending his arms to loosen up.

A dazzling radiance flickered across the surface of his body, flowing like water in an endless cycle.

At the same time, an indescribable, mysterious aura emanated from him, as if he had already merged with this Chaos.

When the dense Chaos Qi swept past him, it caused him no harm at all.

Like a single drop of water falling into the ocean.

Such a wondrous sight made one marvel at the unfathomable mystery of the Great Dao Body.

Just then, Lin Tian instinctively glanced down at his body—and was instantly mortified.

Having just condensed his form, he wore no clothes, completely naked.

"Uh... this is too embarrassing."

He hurriedly channeled his divine power, and in the blink of an eye, manifested a splendid robe to drape over himself.

"Ah, how mortifying! This kind of situation is definitely not for innocent eyes! I completely forgot about such an important detail."

Lin Tian chided himself inwardly, blushing as he looked left and right.

Fortunately, after scanning his surroundings, he found nothing but the boundless Chaos Qi—no other figures in sight.

"Phew... good thing no one's around, or my spotless reputation would be ruined!"

Lin Tian let out a long sigh of relief, patting his chest with lingering fear.

He knew well that if this ever got out, he might never be able to hold his head up here again.

But soon, Lin Tian adjusted his mindset and refocused on the most critical matter at hand: "Alright, now I'd better start cultivating in earnest."

After all, he understood that Chaos was perilous beyond measure. Without sufficient strength to back himself, not only would achieving anything be impossible—even survival was uncertain.

Lin Tian sat down on the spot, crossing his legs, resting his hands naturally on his knees, and closing his eyes. In an instant, he entered a meditative state.

Apart from the Chaos Qi, there was nothing else around him—making this the perfect place for focused cultivation.

Rather than waste time searching for another location, it was better to seize this rare opportunity and pour all his effort into raising his cultivation.

As Lin Tian's mind gradually calmed, the true qi within his body began to flow like a surging river, converging endlessly into his dantian.

He knew well that the path of cultivation was long and arduous, but at this moment, only one conviction filled his heart—to cultivate, to pursue a higher realm.

In this world of primordial, unopened Chaos, unlike later ages, there were no complex, layered divisions of realms.

Only a few supreme levels existed: Golden Immortal of the Origin, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, Heavenly Dao Realm, Chaos Realm, and Great Dao Realm.

Furthermore, each realm was subdivided into four stages: Initial, Intermediate, Advanced, and Peak.

The gap in strength between each stage was like the distance between heaven and earth—crossing it was no easy feat.

Fortunately, in this Chaos world, aside from Lin Tian himself, no other living beings had yet been born. This meant he had ample time to cultivate and stay ahead of everyone else.

Several hundred kalpas later.

Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes, a mysterious light flickering and flowing within his gaze.

Yet in an instant, that light streaked across the sky like a shooting star, vanishing without a trace.

He gently stretched his body, carefully sensing the surging power within.

Now, his cultivation had successfully broken through to the intermediate stage of Golden Immortal of the Origin. This surge in strength stirred a hint of delight in his heart.

"Hmm, not bad—finally starting to look like something!"

A faint smile curled at the corner of Lin Tian's mouth as he felt quite satisfied with his recent cultivation progress.

After all, he had never dreamed of leaping straight to the supreme realm of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin.

To reach this level on his first attempt at cultivation was already enough to content him.

Compared to his past life, where a human lifespan was but a fleeting hundred years, set against the boundless, endless Chaos, it might be no more than the time it takes a Chaos Demon God to doze off.

At that thought, Lin Tian silently marveled at the insignificance of time and the vastness of the cosmos.

"Ever since I arrived in this Chaos, I've been busy cultivating—I haven't had a chance to truly explore it yet.

This is the Chaos, after all. Even an ordinary stone, if placed in the Primordial World, would probably become a rare treasure everyone fights over.

No, with such a golden opportunity, I absolutely must travel and adventure properly!"

With a flicker of intent, Lin Tian decided to act on the spot.

Besides, he didn't even have a single decent treasure on him—how could that do?

At the very least, he needed to get a few Chaos Supreme Treasures to keep him company. Of course, if he couldn't get those, a top-grade Chaos treasure would do—he wasn't picky anyway.

His mind made up, Lin Tian hesitated no longer. His form blurred, transforming into a streak of light as he shot forward at full speed!
