Dao Practice Greatly Increases, Half-Step Great Luo

In the Pangu Sacred Hall.

"Ju Mang was born with mastery over the laws of wood, and wood governs spring; Zhu Rong was born with mastery over the laws of fire, and fire governs summer; Ru Shou was born with mastery over the laws of metal, and metal governs autumn; Xuan Ming was born with mastery over the laws of rain and ice, and ice governs winter... You are indeed a perfect fit for the Divine Positions of the God of Seasons."

"If you can obtain the Divine Positions of the God of Seasons, you will not only master the Authority of the Four Seasons but also gain an endless stream of Destiny from the Four Seasons, which will greatly benefit your cultivation. Even the Destiny/Fortune of our Witch Race will increase significantly."

"It's a pity that these Divine Positions have fallen into the hands of the one who established the Four Seasons Sequence."

Houtu Ancestral Witch sighed as she spoke. She also felt that the four Ancestral Witches, Ju Mang, Zhu Rong, Ru Shou, and Xuan Ming, were very suitable to become the Gods of Seasons and wield the Authority of the Four Seasons.

"Hmph, since that's the case, why don't we find the establisher of the Four Seasons Sequence, eliminate him, and then seize his Divine Positions for ourselves?"

Zhu Rong Ancestral Witch said coldly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, his Fire Dao Divine Power surging like waves.

"Indeed, the Divine Positions of the God of Seasons rightfully belong to the four of us. Perhaps the person who established the Four Seasons Sequence saw through the Heavenly Secrets and established it in advance, occupying the Divine Positions that should have belonged to us. We must take them back."

Ju Mang Ancestral Witch, Ru Shou Ancestral Witch, and Xuan Ming Ancestral Witch also exuded a chilling killing intent.

Di Jiang and the other Ancestral Witches did not object.

Since seizing the Divine Positions of the God of Seasons would bring immense benefits to the four Ancestral Witches Zhu Rong and the entire Witch Race, why wouldn't they do it?

The survival environment of the Primordial Era was cruel, where the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, was vividly displayed.

There were basically no benevolent beings.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches were able to lead the Witch Race to become one of the overlords of the Primordial Era, and naturally, they were all decisive individuals who did not shy away from slaughter.

"After we find the person, we don't have to strike immediately... Let's see if he's willing to hand over the Divine Positions of the God of Seasons. If he is, we can spare him."

Houtu Ancestral Witch said with a hint of reluctance.

Di Jiang Ancestral Witch and the others remained silent. Compared to Houtu Ancestral Witch, they were more inclined to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, leaving no future trouble.

Besides the Twelve Ancestral Witches, many Great Divine Powers in the Primordial Era also sensed the anomaly in the Heavenly Dao Laws and the establishment of the Four Seasons Sequence on this day.

Instantly, the gazes of many Great Divine Powers turned towards the Human Sacred Hall.

Five Elements Mountain.

Human Sacred Hall.

Gu Xi never expected that the fusion of the four Primordial Spiritual Treasures of the Four Seasons with the Twenty-Four Solar Terms would cause such a significant change.

A massive golden light of Merit pierced through the Human Sacred Hall and descended upon his head.

At the same time, a colossal Heavenly Dragon phantom appeared, holding a Dao Lotus materialized from the Four Seasons, shimmering with Divine Light.

This was a Dao Fruit born from the establishment of the Four Seasons Sequence, a manifestation of the Destiny of the Primordial World.

When this Four Seasons Dao Lotus landed on Gu Xi's Auspicious Cloud above his head, it immediately merged with the four Primordial Spiritual Treasures, including the Spring Birth of All Things Cauldron, and the Twenty-Four Solar Terms Dao Diagram.

A brand-new Dao Embryo slowly emerged within the Auspicious Cloud.

This Dao Embryo, with its black and white light rotating, materialized the Four Seasons and Twenty-Four Solar Terms.

Furthermore, with the promotion of the Four Seasons Dao Lotus, this Dao Embryo reached the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm as soon as it was born.

It even faintly exuded the profoundness of the Great Luo.

"This..."

Gu Xi was stunned, not expecting to have condensed a Dao Embryo of the Four Seasons Sequence.

He discovered that this Dao Embryo also contained the Divine Positions of the God of Seasons and the God of Twenty-Four Solar Terms, though the Authority of these Divine Positions was still in its nascent form and had not been fully condensed.

"This is truly an unexpected gain. This time, I've actually condensed a Dao Embryo of the Four Seasons Sequence, and I've also obtained the Divine Positions of the God of Seasons and the God of Twenty-Four Solar Terms."

Gu Xi was overjoyed.

With a thought, he allowed the Divine Position of the God of Seasons to merge with his body and immediately felt a vast torrent of Prayer Power flowing towards him from the East Sea Coast and the countless living beings in the East Sea.

At the same time, he also felt the power of the Authority of the God of Seasons.

With a single thought, he could mobilize the power of the Four Seasons and the vast torrent of Prayer Power to empower himself, greatly amplifying his strength.

"The value of this Divine Position of the God of Seasons is probably not much lower than the position of Human Ancestor Holy Father. If one day, the Four Seasons Sequence spreads throughout the entire Primordial World, the Destiny/Fortune and Divine Power contained within these four Divine Positions will be truly astonishing."

Gu Xi muttered to himself, then turned his attention back to the Dao Embryo of the Four Seasons Sequence.

These twenty-four Divine Positions were subordinate Divine Positions to the God of Seasons.

Since he already possessed the Divine Position of the God of Seasons, there was no need for him to occupy these twenty-four Divine Positions; they could be distributed or bestowed upon others.

"There are still too few powerful individuals who have gained a foothold in the Human Race. There aren't many people who are compatible with the Divine Positions of the God of Twenty-Four Solar Terms."

Gu Xi sighed.

Not everyone could bear a Divine Position.

Especially Divine Positions like the Four Seasons Sequence, which were related to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

To enjoy the Divine Position of the Four Seasons Sequence, one must first comprehend and master the Great Dao related to the Four Seasons Sequence.

Secondly, one must at least be a Golden Immortal.

If these two conditions were not met, even if Gu Xi gave away the Divine Positions, the recipients would not be recognized by the Heavenly Dao.

Gu Xi's attention soon returned to the Dao Embryo of the Four Seasons Sequence.

"This Four Seasons Sequence Dao Embryo not only contains the mysteries of the four seasons' reincarnation and the changes of the solar terms but also, in fact, encompasses the principles of Yin Yang and Five Elements, their mutual generation and restraint."

"This is an Acquired Dao Embryo, but its potential is likely no less than that of an Innate Dao Embryo."

"However, an Innate Dao Embryo corresponds to the Innate Great Dao, and it can later transform into a Great Luo Dao Fruit, then further transform into a Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit, and finally a Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit."

"An Acquired Dao Embryo, on the other hand, corresponds to the Acquired Great Dao. In the Primordial Era, very few can transform an Acquired Dao Embryo into a Great Luo Dao Fruit."

"And there isn't a single one who has managed to elevate an Acquired Dao Embryo all the way to the Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit."

"Should I or should I not continue to elevate this Acquired Dao Embryo?"

Gu Xi's thoughts churned, but he quickly decided to continue on the path of the Four Seasons Sequence.

Although, in the Primordial Era, it was generally believed that only by cultivating the Innate Great Dao could one achieve the Primordial Chaos Saint realm, and the Acquired Great Dao could at most lead to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

But... Gu Xi preferred to believe that no one had yet managed to walk the path of the Acquired Great Dao to completion.

The Innate Great Dao path had role models like Great God Pangu and Dao Ancestor Hongjun, so everyone clearly understood that cultivating the Innate Great Dao could lead to sainthood.

The Acquired Great Dao path, however, lacked any examples of achieving sainthood, or even examples of reaching the Quasi-Saint realm. Perhaps this was why many Gods and Demons mistakenly believed it had insufficient potential.

"Since there is no path, I will forge one myself... Perhaps, in countless years, I might even be able to open up the path of the Acquired Saint."

"In any case, even if it's for Merit and to practice the 'Innate Merit Great Dao,' I must promote the Four Seasons Sequence throughout the entire Primordial Era. Since that's the case, why not cultivate the path of the Four Seasons Sequence along the way?"

Gu Xi made up his mind, his gaze shifted, and he looked at the other two Innate Dao Embryos deep within the Auspicious Cloud.

One of these Dao Embryos was the "Innate Merit Great Dao" Dao Embryo he himself had condensed.

The other Dao Embryo was also an "Innate Merit Great Dao" Dao Embryo, but this one had accompanied him since his birth.

"The 'Innate Merit Great Dao' Dao Embryo I condensed myself has already reached the limit of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. I no longer need to refer to the accompanying Dao Embryo."

"Since that's the case, let's merge the two Innate Dao Embryos."

With a thought from Gu Xi, the accompanying "Innate Merit Great Dao" Dao Embryo deep within the Auspicious Cloud immediately transformed into a blazing Divine Light and merged into the Dao Embryo he had condensed.

These two Innate Dao Embryos had the same attributes, so the merging was very smooth, without any obstacles.

"Boom------"

In an instant, the "Innate Merit Great Dao" Dao Embryo condensed by Gu Xi erupted with an incredibly intense Merit Divine Light, appearing subtly more perfect and emitting wisps of Great Luo profound mysteries.

Gu Xi's divine power surged around him, and vast Four Seasons Divine Power and Xuanhuang Divine Power erupted from him simultaneously, sweeping through the area around Five Elements Mountain like a storm.

For a time, countless Xuanhuang clouds and black and white Dao lotuses bloomed around Five Elements Mountain.

The beings around Five Elements Mountain trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground.

"In a single day, the Holy Father has triggered two grand phenomena, and the aura emanating from him has only grown stronger and stronger. It seems the Holy Father's strength has progressed immensely during this closed-door cultivation."

Outside the Human Sacred Hall, Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, Ziyi Shi, and others looked at the surrounding phenomena and the Sacred Hall pierced by countless Divine Lights, their faces filled with joy.

They knew that Gu Xi, the Holy Father of the Human Race, had become stronger, and the stronger Gu Xi was, the stronger the Human Race would be.

"Am I still a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal? Perhaps, 'Half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal' would be a more fitting description!"

Inside the Sacred Hall, the continuously rising aura around Gu Xi finally stopped.

At this moment, his power had far surpassed that of a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, and he had grasped and understood some of the profound mysteries of Great Luo.

Based on his estimation, he should now be equivalent to a Half-step Great Luo.

"Hmm? Suiren Shi, Youchao Shi, Ziyi Shi, have they all arrived? Good, there are a few Divine Positions among the God of Twenty-Four Solar Terms that are somewhat suitable for them. I shall bestow them."

Gu Xi sensed Suiren Shi and the others outside the great hall. He had intended to call them in before bestowing a few Divine Positions.

But at that very moment, his expression suddenly changed as he felt a terrifying Divine Power piercing through space and time, heading towards the Human Sacred Hall.

He was not worried about his own safety.

However, he did not want the Human Sacred Hall and Five Elements Mountain to be destroyed, nor did he want the many Human Race elites cultivating on Five Elements Mountain to suffer.

Therefore, with a movement of his figure, he instantly vanished from the great hall.
