Comprehending the Mysteries of the Profound Yellow Dao, Unity of Heaven and Man to Pluck the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit

Above his head, an auspicious cloud manifested. Profound Yellow Qi faintly swirled within it, while pure and turbid energies intertwined, evolving into the scene of a primordial cosmos.

Since Lu Yuan had yet to pluck the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, the Three Flowers within his auspicious cloud had not bloomed. They were merely wisps of hazy, illusory lotus blossoms.

However, as Lu Yuan comprehended the innate Dao manifestations revealed by the Great Divine Ability Users in the void, his Daoxing insights rose rapidly. The hazy, illusory Three Flowers within his auspicious cloud gradually became more solid.

These three illusory, indistinct Three Flowers were the crystallization of all Lu Yuan's insights into the Profound Yellow Great Dao. When they fully condensed and bloomed open, it would be the day Lu Yuan plucked the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

Of course, this was also because Lu Yuan did not primarily cultivate the Dao of Pure and Turbid, and had not walked the path of cultivating the Profound Yellow Great Dao for very long.

If he had condensed the Three Flowers through the Dao of Pure and Turbid, he would have plucked the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit long ago.

He simply did not wish to do so!

To be fortunate enough to observe Great Divine Ability Users discussing the Dao, with all manner of innate Dao manifestations and wondrous realms of the Heavenly Dao available for his comprehension—Lu Yuan immersed himself in them, listening as if intoxicated.

A single day of such effort was enough to rival the accumulation of several thousand years of his previous bitter cultivation.

After all, Great Divine Ability Users had become one with the true Dao. In terms of cultivation, strength, and Daoxing insights, they stood at the pinnacle of the Primordial World. Though the Great Dao they primarily cultivated might differ from Lu Yuan's, having cultivated to their realm, they all possessed broad knowledge of Dao insights.

Thus, the innate Dao manifestations they revealed more or less contained the mysteries of the Profound Yellow Great Dao.

These innate Dao manifestations and wondrous realms of the Heavenly Dao might contain only branches and leaves of the Profound Yellow Great Dao, or merely a few scraps from the edges.

Yet in Lu Yuan's eyes, the Profound Yellow Great Dao within these mere "scraps" might already be enough to support him in plucking the Daluo Dao Fruit.

After all, how terrifying were the origins and aptitudes of these Great Divine Ability Users in the valley? Pangu Sanqing, Nuwa, Fuxi, Dijun, Taiyi, Hongyun, Zhenyuanzi—which one was not an Innate Sacred Being?

With their terrifying talents, even if they had not expended much effort studying the Profound Yellow Great Dao, the accumulation of long years was enough to raise their understanding to an exceedingly high level.

Meanwhile, as Lu Yuan drew in and refined the golden lotuses and auspicious signs, the golden lotuses and auspicious signs in the void were drawn by the auspicious cloud above his head and involuntarily gathered around him.

He silently circulated his mana, refining the golden lotuses and auspicious signs, taking this opportunity to enhance and temper the mana within his body.

This fortune bestowed by the Heavenly Dao was also an immense opportunity for him. Perhaps he would not encounter it again for several Kalpas to come.

Even as he comprehended the innate Dao manifestations revealed by the Great Divine Ability Users and performed Breathing Exercises to refine the golden lotuses and auspicious signs in the void, Lu Yuan did not forget the Jade Disk of Creation fragment in his possession.

He quietly hid the Jade Disk of Creation fragment within his Primordial Spirit, splitting off a portion of his mind to gradually record the innate Dao manifestations in the void upon the jade disk.

Once the Great Divine Ability Users' discussion of the Dao ended, he could take it back and slowly comprehend it!

There was no helping it. Before Great Divine Ability Users, he did not dare take out the Jade Disk of Creation fragment in plain sight.

Otherwise, who knew what kind of disturbance it might cause?

If a Great Divine Ability User truly coveted the Jade Disk of Creation fragment in his hand, would he not be asking for trouble?

After all, the Jade Disk of Creation, an Innate Supreme Treasure and Heavenly Dao artifact, was simply too valuable.

Since Pangu created Heaven and Earth, the Jade Disk of Creation had successively been held by Emperor Cangli and Hongjun, the Dao Ancestor of Purple Firmament Palace. Each had a more formidable background than the last.

Emperor Cangli ended the Fierce Beast Calamity, opened up the Twelve Layers of Turbid Sha Gods and Devils Great Dao, unified the Gods and Devils race, established the Nine Heavens Heavenly Court, and was the first Great Divine Ability User in the Primordial World to challenge the Primordial Saint Realm.

As for the Primordial Dao Ancestor of Purple Firmament Palace, there was no need to say more. He opened up the Mysterious Gate Immortal Dao and was the first cultivator in the Primordial World to pluck the Primordial Dao Fruit.

He had also imparted the Dao to three thousand guests of Purple Firmament Palace beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Even if the Jade Disk of Creation fragment in Lu Yuan's possession was only one percent the size of the complete Jade Disk of Creation, there was no guarantee it would not arouse the covetousness of Great Divine Ability Users.

Even with Pangu Sanqing protecting him, they might not show it openly, but there was no guarantee they would not make moves in the shadows.

After all, although Pangu Sanqing were currently immensely intimidating, they had not yet attained the Dao and become Saints.

To Great Divine Ability Users, perhaps their deterrent was not as great as imagined!

At this time, the phenomenon caused by the Great Divine Ability Users' discussion of the Dao in the valley Spread Out in every direction. That magnificent celestial phenomenon immediately attracted nearby living beings, who set aside what they were doing and headed toward the valley.

Before long, many living beings had appeared in this valley.

Seeing the innate Dao manifestations revealed by the Great Divine Ability Users in the void, they were incomparably excited.

To be able to listen in on Great Divine Ability Users discussing the Dao was an enormous honor to them!

After all, these living beings generally did not possess particularly high cultivation or Daoxing. The highest among them were only a dozen or so Heavenly Immortal cultivators, still far inferior to Lu Yuan.

To catch this discussion of the Dao by Great Divine Ability Users was truly like pies falling from the sky!

These living beings respectfully bowed toward the Great Divine Ability Users discussing the Dao, found an open patch of ground in the valley, sat down, and quietly comprehended the innate Dao manifestations in the void.

Yet though they had caught this discussion of the Dao by Great Divine Ability Users, how could the Gate of the Great Dao be so easily Stepped Into?

If one's origins and aptitude were insufficient, and one lacked the favor of the Heavenly Dao, then Even If the Great Dao lay right before one's eyes, it would still be difficult to seize the opportunity.

Among the living beings in the valley, those with origins and aptitude listened as though entranced, smiles on their faces, as if enlightenment had been poured directly over their heads.

Those with decent innate wisdom would sometimes knit their brows, then sometimes smile, clearly having gained something as well.

Only the majority of living beings remained in the end, their faces bitter as they anxiously scratched their ears and cheeks.

They had neither origins nor aptitude, neither innate wisdom nor the favor of the Heavenly Dao. They could only be barred outside the Gate of the Great Dao.

In the blink of an eye, three hundred years slowly passed, yet this discussion of the Dao by Great Divine Ability Users continued.

At this moment, the number of living beings gathered around the valley was several thousand times greater than it had been three hundred years ago.

Any living being in the region around Buzhou Mountain with even a little opportunity—whether drawn by the phenomenon of the Great Divine Ability Users' discussion of the Dao that had Spread Out, or notified by close Daoist friends—

The open ground around the valley had already been packed full of living beings. Those who arrived later could only seek out empty ground farther away to comprehend the innate Dao manifestations revealed in the void.

Though some beings harbored malicious thoughts and wished to seize the seats in the valley, the moment they saw the Great Divine Ability Users seated cross-legged upon cloud couches, manifesting innate Dao phenomena, their hair stood on end and every evil thought in their hearts vanished like smoke.

Three hundred years passed. As he contemplated the innate Dao phenomena manifested in the void, Lu Yuan's Daoxing continuously rose, and in the darkness, he touched upon the threshold of the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

The Three Flowers within the celebration cloud above his head, once illusory and hazy, had now become incomparably solid as his comprehension of the Profound Yellow Great Dao deepened.

With only the slightest spark of spiritual inspiration, he would be able to push open the barrier before the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and step into the Golden Immortal realm.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged within the valley. At this moment, he no longer spared any attention for breathing exercises to refine the golden lotuses and auspicious omens; even the Jade Disk of Creation within his Primordial Spirit had ceased recording the innate Dao phenomena.

His mind held fast to oneness as he continually perceived the innate Dao phenomena manifested in the void, attempting to seize that thread of spiritual inspiration.

Lu Yuan immersed himself in those innate Dao phenomena and the wondrous realm of Heavenly Dao, while time slipped away unnoticed.

On this day, Lu Yuan kept his eyes tightly shut and no longer contemplated the innate Dao phenomena manifested in the void. The Profound Yellow Great Dao he had comprehended flickered through his mind bit by bit.

It seemed that with every strand of the Profound Yellow Great Dao, he could derive boundless Dao mysteries in a single thought.

Those boundless innate Dao mysteries gathered into the embryonic form of a Profound Yellow Dao phenomenon, like the root of Heaven and Earth.

Around Lu Yuan, a thread of Heavenly Dao green qi seemed to swirl. In the darkness, he entered a state of unity between Heaven and man.

At this moment, the golden lotuses and auspicious omens within the valley seemed to be drawn by an unseen force, surging madly toward Lu Yuan and, without his knowledge, automatically refining into pure mana.

"The Golden Immortal Dao Fruit is complete!"

His mind emerged from the state of unity between Heaven and man, and a faint smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face. Seizing that thread of spiritual inspiration, he began to pluck the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

The gate of Golden Immortality before him was now merely a door left ajar.

Under the impact of his Daoxing's power, Lu Yuan gave that half-closed gate of Golden Immortality a light push, and it swung open on its own!

"The Golden Immortal realm is achieved!"
