Breakthrough, Tidy Up, and Set Out

Time flows in the Primordial Era, uncounted years passing.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years had gone by.

Heaven and Earth were natural, the grotto-heavens and primordial chaos in harmony.

Vaguely and dimly, Zhou Yuan felt that all of time, space, the heavens above, and the earth below were boundless.

The four directions above and below are called yu (space), and the past and present are called zhou (time).

Within his body, the grotto-heaven world was one of absolute silence, the Five Elements nonexistent, the Four Symbols obliterated, and Yin and Yang unified.

The Great Annihilation, the Great Destruction.

A spark of wisdom flashed in Zhou Yuan's pupils. His Dao Body was annihilated, but his spirit was transcending.

Rising from ruin, reviving from silence.

"A thousand sails pass by the side of a sunken boat; ten thousand trees flourish in front of a withered one."

New things will inevitably replace the old.

The Way of the world is no different.

Every world evolves and ascends in a spiral through the negation of negation.

His heart understood, his intent perceived.

The next moment.

The ruined grotto-heaven world within his body suddenly shone brightly.

A ray of immortal golden light emerged from the world.

Then, the entire world seemed to come alive.

All things were born, Yin and Yang evolved.

Zhou Yuan transcended the world, his True Spirit merging with the grotto-heaven world, his golden nature immortal.

"True One Realm, achieved."

Divine Demons in the True One Realm ascend for eternity, unique for all time, only they can bear witness to the ages. With a raise of their hand, they can mobilize the power of the primordial world.

If Divine Demons in the Heavenly Human Realm can mobilize the power of a grotto-heaven world.

Then Divine Demons in the True One Realm transcend the grotto-heaven world, controlling the life and death of grotto-heavens with a single thought, standing on another dimension, directly touching the Primordial Great Realm.

"If Divine Demons in the Grotto-heaven Realm are equivalent to the Earth Immortals of later generations, and Divine Demons in the Heavenly Human Realm are equivalent to the Mystic Gate's Heavenly Immortals."

"Then Divine Demons in the True One Realm are the Mystic Gate's Golden Immortals."

The golden nature is immortal.

Grand Unity Golden Immortals are also Golden Immortals.

Grand Luo Golden Immortals are also Golden Immortals.

I am a Golden Immortal, meaning I = Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Zhou Yuan rubbed the bamboo staff in his hand, invigorating his spirit.

Having advanced to the True One Realm, his status in the Primordial Era had qualitatively improved.

Now, even if he attended a banquet, he wouldn't have to sit at the children's table.

Within the cave dwelling, purple energy swirled like mist.

With a thought from Zhou Yuan, the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Myriad Dao Book, floated in the void, as if manifesting the separation of the turbid and clear, accompanied by the birth of myriad daos.

Cultivation Fundamental Manual: [Primordial Abyss True Scripture]

Lesser Divine Ability: [Five Elements Mystic Gate]

Lesser Divine Ability: [Myriad Transformations Divine Mechanism]

The [Primordial Abyss True Scripture] is the fundamental cultivation manual, the basis for cultivation and combat. It contains the path of cultivation for Turbid Fiend Divine Demons, and combat techniques such as Five Elements Mystical Arts.

In the Primordial Era, cultivation is based on Mystical Arts, with Lesser Divine Abilities and Greater Divine Abilities above them.

Zhou Yuan had scoured divine demon legacies across eighty million li of territory, barely gathering enough Dao insights to evolve the two secret arts into Divine Abilities.

The evolution of the Grand Unity Golden Light Minor Five Elements Divine Calculation from a Mystical Art to the Divine Ability [Five Elements Mystic Gate] was a qualitative change. Now, when he observed the patterns of heavenly secrets, although he couldn't see everything clearly, seeing all directions, above and below, without obstruction.

However, with the aid of the High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Heavenly Machine Chessboard, he could sort out his own karma, calculate heavenly secrets and fortune, and avoid death.

[Myriad Transformations Divine Mechanism] is a Divine Ability dedicated to forging.

It can not only be used to refine treasures and forge puppets, but also has miraculous effects.

The puppet "Pure Clarity" forged by Zhou Yuan with divine materials, with a single wisp of divine thought residing within it, could even deceive Divine Demons in the Heavenly Human Realm, making them run around in circles.

Now, this Mystical Art had reached its ultimate sublimation. A puppet forged with a Divine Ability was no longer merely an empty creation, but equivalent to Zhou Yuan's avatar.

If, in the future, Zhou Yuan could prove the Dao and become an Innate Dao Lord, he could control billions of avatars with a single thought. Each avatar could potentially be the main body, yet each avatar would not be the main body.

"Thus, it can also be said that as long as the puppet is immortal, the Primordial Abyss is immortal."

Zhou Yuan clapped his hands in admiration.

It's just that the divine materials needed to forge puppets for the Heavenly Human Realm and even the True One Realm are numerous and precious.

To realize the grand dream of manifesting countless avatars, the road is long and arduous.

Zhou Yuan shook his head slightly. Though the road is far, it will be reached; though the path is difficult, it can be attained.

This is not the Primordial Era after the Witch-Demon Tribulation. The heavens and earth have not yet been shattered. While various treasures and spiritual materials are not readily available, as long as one diligently searches, they can always get what they wish for. Compared to later generations, this is a glorious era of cultivation.

"Now that I have achieved the True One Realm, I have the means to protect myself in the Primordial Era."

"Taking advantage of the clear heavens and the absence of great tribulations."

"I still need to find some resources for cultivation."

Zhou Yuan silently circulated his Primordial Spirit to deduce, and his brow shone with great light, illuminating the black and white mystic gate in all directions.

The current time is after Ancestor Hongjun's third lecture. The Innate Saints and those with great divine abilities are all digesting what they gained from the three lectures. It is a rare period of peace for the Primordial Era.

The impending Witch-Demon Tribulation will plunge the entire Primordial Era into chaos and turmoil, affecting countless beings. Without strength, one can easily perish in the tribulation.

"The four elements of cultivation: wealth, companions, dharma, and place."

"Wealth refers to cultivation resources and protective magical treasures. Although I now have the Innate Supreme Treasure Myriad Dao Book to deduce all dharmas, I still lack Dao essence as sustenance. With the Heavenly Machine Chessboard to deduce heavenly secrets and karma, I am already safe. Although the Nine-Section Bamboo Staff is a Postnatal treasure, its attributes are compatible with mine, and it is sufficient for combat at this stage."

"Companions are fellow cultivators on the path of cultivation. Cultivation most fears being insular. During this journey through the Primordial Era, I will inevitably need to communicate more with fellow Daoists."

"With the Myriad Dao Book in hand, there is no need to worry about the path of dharma."

As for the last element, Place, the spiritual energy of the Primordial Era is currently abundant, and any place can be a place for cultivation.

Some legendary dojos from his past life have not yet appeared. Perhaps I can keep an eye out for them.

Zhou Yuan pondered, analyzing each point one by one.

"The priority for this trip is still to replenish Dao essence."

With sufficient Dao essence, dharma is sufficient; with sufficient dharma, strength is great.

Those with great strength can obtain wealth, companions, and a place.

"Thus..."

I must indeed head east.

Zhou Yuan looked at the heavenly secrets manifesting before him.

Indeed.

East, great fortune!

Since he planned to travel the Primordial Era, Zhou Yuan immediately packed all his treasures from the past few years.

He only left a dharma array to guard Myriad Bamboo Mountain.

Relying on the reputation of Old Ancestor Pure, who had killed two Heavenly Human Divine Demons, he estimated that no ignorant beings would dare to attack.

"Now that everything is settled, it is time for a dragon to roam the great sea."

Zhou Yuan stood outside the mountain gate, his ancient cyan robe fluttering in the wind.

Glancing at the cave dwelling he had stayed in for tens of thousands of years, Zhou Yuan severed the distracting thoughts in his heart.

Staying here might allow him to be a revered ancestor and enjoy temporary peace.

But compared to the Great Dao that roams the heavens and earth, unmoved by ten thousand tribulations, what was it worth?

He lightly tapped the void with the bamboo staff in his hand, causing ripples to spread.

Then, Zhou Yuan's entire being transformed into a cyan ray of light and flew towards the east, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
