Boom!!!
An invisible roar suddenly rang out. The heavens and earth rapidly grew darker, as if swallowed by absolute darkness that made the heart tremble. Amid the blur, a portal faintly appeared.
As the portal emerged, whispers and murmurs began to echo from within.
"Are you trying to teach me how to act?"
The young man spoke with an expressionless face and a cold sneer.
"Get lost!"
With a sharp shout, the young man forcibly shattered the portal, turning it into nothingness.
Strands of black mist seeped from the young man's body. His gaze grew strange, as mysterious runes seemed to flash through it, while countless patterns appeared across his entire body.
As if sensing something, the young man drew a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, all the abnormalities receded like a tide.
"Primordial World... Heh heh heh."
A hint of bloodlust appeared on the young man's face. Drawn by his aura, the power of time gradually gathered. Amid the haze, a wheel containing endless temporal power appeared behind him.
"Control me? No one can!"
The young man sneered disdainfully, unaware that the wheel of time behind him had already been stained with a faint blood hue. Strands of black mist spread around it, gradually warping its shape, as if countless fleshy tendrils were brandishing their claws around the wheel.
"Hongjun, Luohu, Ancestral Dragon, and Heaven and Earth have all attained the Dao. The Primordial World has changed..."
His eyes narrowed slightly. After pondering for a moment, the young man closed them again.
No rush. Wait a little longer. Just a little longer.
His name was Shi Chen!
Deep within the East Sea.
After Hongjun and Heavenly Dao departed, Tang Xuan had already returned here.
Instead of immediately entering seclusion to further deduce Nine Breaths Assimilation, Tang Xuan first considered the Gate of Taboo.
Pressure?
Naturally, there was some.
After all, the waters of the Primordial World were already deep. Now that the Gate of Taboo, the Immeasurable Calamity, and Everything Returns to Ruin had appeared for no apparent reason, how could he possibly feel no pressure?
But pressure was pressure. At the same time, it had brought Tang Xuan... motivation!
If he merely followed the usual steps and reached the summit without change, what meaning would there be even if he succeeded? But now, things had become far more interesting—and much more exciting.
"The Gate of Taboo?"
Tang Xuan smiled.
If his level of existence ascended to the River of Time, would it be comparable to this Gate of Taboo?
What? It still could not compare?
Then if he brought out the Mythical Primordial Era Plan, the Dimensional Ascension Primordial Era Plan, and the High-End Primordial Era Plan, how would Your Excellency respond?
What? That still was not enough?
No matter. He still had the Mythical Beings Plan, the Multiverse Primordial Era Plan, and the Only Primordial Era Plan in All Heavens.
His experience from his previous life reading Primordial Era genre novels, combined with the Wish Origin, was Tang Xuan's greatest source of confidence!
There was nothing the Wish Origin could not resolve. If there was, then the only explanation was that he did not have enough Wish Origin.
His plans had only just begun, and everything had merely started moving onto the right track. The true grandeur had only just raised its curtain. How could Tang Xuan be in a hurry?
"First, I'll deduce Nine Breaths Assimilation. Remaining outside the Hunyuan realm is ultimately a little too weak. Many things are difficult to put into practice, and relying on bluffing because I lack confidence isn't a long-term solution."
"As long as I attain Hunyuan, combined with my River of Myriad Laws level of existence, I'll be invincible throughout the entire Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm. By then, everything will be much easier."
Tang Xuan exhaled, cast aside his distracting thoughts, and began cultivating with his eyes closed.
Time was unrecorded in the Primordial World. Hundreds of thousands of years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Three Tribes withdrew from the world, the Demon Race faded away, and the Tribulation Qi permeating the Primordial World gradually dispersed. After the passage of a long age, the Primordial World slowly regained its vitality.
The innate beings who had originally been in seclusion or hiding gradually emerged onto the Primordial Continent.
The Three Pure Ones of East Kunlun, West Queen Mother of West Kunlun, Minghe of the Sea of Blood, Kunpeng of the North Sea, Di Jun and Taiyi of the Sun, Xi He and Chang Xi of Tai Yin, Zhen Yuanzi of Wanshou Mountain, Hong Yun of Huoyun Cave, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti of the Western Lands, the Ancestral Shamans of Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa, Fu Xi...
At a glance, the vast land was flourishing with life. Countless powerful figures gradually rose to fame, as if a book had turned a page and opened an entirely new chapter.
The entire Primordial World was surging with undercurrents, exactly like the end of the Dragon-Han Calamity in the countless Primordial Era genre novels. Traces of people discussing the Dao and searching for treasures could be seen everywhere.
The only difference was... Tang Xuan!
Because of Tang Xuan's appearance, although the powerful figures of the Primordial World had emerged to search for treasures or travel throughout the world, most of them were actually trying to find Tang Xuan.
At the end of the Dao-Devil War, Tang Xuan had said that whoever found him would obtain an opportunity. The powerful figures of the Primordial World could clearly see who had been manipulating the Dragon-Han Calamity from behind the scenes.
The Three Tribes, the Demon Ancestor, and the Three Patriarchs had all obtained supreme opportunities because of him. Who, then, would not yearn to find him?
Yet Tang Xuan, who stood at the center of this vortex, was cultivating in seclusion and deducing techniques in the East Sea.
Buzz!!!
Strands of profound Dao charms and countless runes revolved around Tang Xuan.
For a moment, it seemed eternal. Even the passage of time appeared unable to leave the slightest trace upon Tang Xuan.
No one knew how long had passed before Tang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes.
With a thought, an indescribable charm radiated from Tang Xuan's body. With a single breath, the origin power he had yet to expend was rapidly refined, and his aura surged explosively.
After only two breaths, Tang Xuan broke through from the early stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm to the middle stage. Within his sea of consciousness, the previously illusory runes of the Great Dao of Water had become more than half solid.
After breathing again, and repeating the process nine times, Tang Xuan's cultivation had already reached the late stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm. He was only half a step away from the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm!
Nine Breaths Assimilation?
Nine Breaths Assimilation!
It worked!
"By breathing nine times, I can gather the power of chaos and transform it into origin power. I can also refine my origin internally to recover from injuries. No matter what form the injury takes—even if my Dao Fruit is damaged and my true spirit is on the verge of perishing—I can recover. It can even refine origin power to the greatest extent and feed it back into myself."
"As expected of a Great Dao-level divine ability. It truly defies the heavens!"
"Just nine breaths refined all my origin power. If I had done it myself, it would have taken at least several hundred million or even a billion years to digest it completely."
"I thought deducing Nine Breaths Assimilation would take more than a million years, but I never expected to finish it in just hundreds of thousands. Was it because of the accumulation from deducing Foreknowledge of the Future?"
"When one method is mastered, all methods become accessible. The approach of enhancing comprehension really was the right one."
"Only by accumulating more experience throughout the process can it become one's own foundation."
"Otherwise, if I directly created a divine ability, I would only know the divine ability itself and would not gain any other insights."
Tang Xuan's eyes shone brightly as he thought to himself.
Now that the divine ability was complete, it was time to begin acting!
"First, I'll gather all the rivers of the Primordial World, along with the South Sea, West Sea, and North Sea. In one stroke, I'll raise my cultivation to the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm."
Tang Xuan rose to his feet. With one step, his figure abruptly vanished.
As long as all the rivers returned to him, he would become the source of all water veins in the Primordial World—the master of every water source!
