Contention of the Great Dao, Profound Yellow Great Dao (Seeking collection, seeking follow-up reading, seeking votes!)

Southern Region of the Primordial World.

Just as the saint's Dao voice permeated Purple Cloud Palace and the Great Divine Ability Users and Great Luo Dao Lords listened, utterly entranced, Lu Yuan emerged from his meditative cultivation and opened his eyes.

A trace of dense, profound aura flashed and vanished from his body, containing an unfathomably mysterious immortal Dao realm.

"Heavenly Immortal late stage!"

Sensing the powerful immortal Dao aura within him, Lu Yuan's face revealed a hint of delight. Having broken through to the late Heavenly Immortal stage, he was at least three or four times stronger than before.

Ever since refining the Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Spiritual Roots within the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, and thoroughly exploring the spiritual resources in his Daoist sanctuary, he had devoted himself to cultivation with peace of mind.

Over these thousand-odd years, he had refined the Innate Spiritual Item resources within the Cave Heaven Blessed Land while tempering his Dao body, condensing his Primordial Spirit, and increasing his mana—his body, vital essence, and spirit advancing in lockstep.

Meanwhile, whenever he was not cultivating, he took the time to comprehend the innate Great Daos contained within the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Profound Yellow Pure Turgid Diagram, and the fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation.

In terms of Dao comprehension, relying on the aptitude of his Innate God-Demon origins and his innate inheritance, he had progressed at astonishing speed and gained deep insights into the Innate Way of Clarity and Turbidity.

If he had specialized in the Innate Way of Clarity and Turbidity, he would already have been qualified to attain the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.

Unfortunately, the Innate Way of Clarity and Turbidity had too little potential. If he specialized in this Dao, he might sail smoothly in the early stages and progress at a rapid pace, perhaps soon transcending the River of Destiny and attaining the Daluo Dao Fruit.

But his Dao path would likely end there. Not to mention Proving the Dao of the Primordial Dao Fruit—even cultivating to the peak Daluo realm of a Great Divine Ability User would be exceedingly difficult.

Naturally, Lu Yuan was unwilling to settle for that!

Beyond the Innate Way of Clarity and Turbidity, he had also comprehended a strand of the Profound Yellow Great Dao from the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Profound Yellow Pure Turgid Diagram.

"Clarity is the mysterious heavens, turbidity is the yellow earth; the two currents of clarity and turbidity return to the Profound Yellow. The Profound Yellow is the root of heaven and earth..."

As he recalled the Profound Yellow Great Dao, Lu Yuan's eyes brightened slightly, and a lingering resonance of the Great Dao involuntarily flickered through his mind.

"This Profound Yellow Great Dao is the root of heaven and earth—deep and vast, weighty and steady. It encompasses the mysterious heavens and the yellow earth, containing both the lofty profundity of the mysterious heavens and the earth's heavy power of nurture.

"Even compared to supreme Great Daos such as yin and yang, reincarnation, karma, and annihilation, it is not the least bit inferior—indeed, it may even surpass them!

"By the looks of it, the Profound Yellow Great Dao possesses extraordinary potential, enough to support a cultivator in attaining the Primordial Dao Fruit..."

At this thought, a gleam flashed through Lu Yuan's eyes as he fell into contemplation.

Then, carefully recalling his memories of Blue Star, he murmured, "More Importantly, the Profound Yellow Great Dao is currently without an owner, at a stage where heroes vie for supremacy.

"Ever since Profound Yellow Patriarch, the Innate Sacred Being born in response to the Profound Yellow Great Dao, perished during the Three Clans Tribulation, no great power in the Primordial World has ever attained the Daluo Dao Fruit through the Profound Yellow Great Dao.

"In that case, the Profound Yellow Great Dao truly is a fine choice..."

Though a single innate Great Dao in the Primordial World could support multiple Great Luo Dao Lords, even Great Divine Ability Users—

Once a Great Divine Ability User had proven the Dao and become a Hunyuan Sage through that Great Dao, the Dao paths of all cultivators practicing it would be severed from that point on.

A single Great Dao could only accommodate one person proving the Dao and transcending beyond!

To continue one's Dao path, one would have to abandon everything, reincarnate through hundreds of millions of kalpas, wash the Great Dao from one's true spirit, and start all over again with a different Dao.

Or one could patiently lie low, bow and scrape, and endure endless years as though treading on thin ice, waiting for the Hunyuan Sage who had proven the Dao to perish or transcend, allowing that innate Great Dao to become vacant again.

The price demanded by either method was too great, and the odds of success were infinitely close to zero.

Thus, to guard against such a situation, once cultivators of the same innate Great Dao transcended the River of Destiny and attained the Great Dao Fruit, they became enemies upon the Great Dao!

Enemies upon the Great Dao naturally fought until one side died!

Lu Yuan possessed the ambition to contend for Hunyuan and the will to prove the Dao and become a sage. Though he did not fear contention over the Great Dao, if he could prove the Dao with ease, he naturally had no desire to fall into a calamity.

After all, the Profound Yellow Great Dao was currently without an owner, with no one having attained the Daluo Dao Fruit through it. If he could be the first to transcend the River of Destiny and attain the rank of Great Luo Dao Lord through the Profound Yellow Great Dao—

Then he could build up a sufficient advantage in the contention of the Great Dao.

As this thought crossed his mind, Lu Yuan was immediately somewhat tempted. Yet he was cautious by nature and had always preferred to plan before acting, so he did not make a final decision.

"If I specialize in the Profound Yellow Great Dao, then the three Great Daos of 'Copy,' 'Dao Script,' and 'Clarity and Turbidity' contained in the Jade Disk of Creation will all be of great use.

"The Dao of 'Copy' goes without saying. I can make use of the Copy Great Dao's properties to replicate the Great Daos between heaven and earth.

"The Dao of 'Dao Script' is the Dao of heaven-and-earth runes. It can use runes to derive the Great Dao of heaven and earth, allowing me to comprehend the Great Dao from different perspectives.

"And the Dao of 'Clarity and Turbidity' is beyond doubt. Combined with the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Profound Yellow Pure Turgid Diagram, it can carry out the Dao of returning the two currents of clarity and turbidity to the Profound Yellow..."

Thinking of the fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation, Lu Yuan's expression shifted slightly. Though he had not reached a final decision, his heart tilted a few degrees further toward the Profound Yellow Great Dao.

"I'll set aside which Great Dao to specialize in for now. I am still some distance from Heavenly Immortal Perfect, so I have time to think it over slowly!

"The first lecture at Purple Cloud Palace has now begun. Among the three thousand guests of Purple Cloud Palace, there is no place for me.

"Once the first lecture at Purple Cloud Palace ends, the Witch and Demon Clans will formally establish themselves, and the signs of the calamity will emerge. That is the truly deadly matter..."

Memories of Blue Star surfaced in his mind. At the thought of the Innate God-Demons caught up in the Witch and Demon Clans' struggle for supremacy and reduced to cannon fodder, Lu Yuan's expression turned grave, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He knew his own limits and understood perfectly well that if he did not find someone powerful to rely on and cling to, he would definitely be swept into the coming Witch-Demon Calamity.

All living beings born from heaven and earth in this era were caught within the net of the calamity, especially those with Innate God-Demon origins.

One had to know that those so-called Innate God-Demons born in response to the Great Dao were merely "test subjects" bred by heaven and earth to perfect themselves!

Once a calamity erupted, the nobler one's origins and the more extraordinary one's fortune, the more one would be swept into it.

After all, when it came to noble origins and profound fortune, were there any beings in the Primordial World more suitable than Innate God-Demons?

Under the net of Heavenly Dao Order, even if he retreated three paces to avoid it, the karma derived beneath that order would still drag him into the great calamity!

Thinking of the Primordial World, those beings who could avoid being swept into the Witch-Demon Calamity were either A Lonely Person, top Great Divine Ability Users with few disciples, or beings who had entered beneath the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao.

At this thought, Lu Yuan was Slightly Moved, a sharp gleam flashing through his eyes. "It seems that if I don't want to be dragged into the Witch-Demon Calamity, I'll have to find myself a patron.

Looking across the entire Primordial World, the biggest and thickest thigh to cling to was undoubtedly a Hunyuan Sage.

Now that the first lecture at Purple Cloud Palace was about to begin, the future Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao..."

With that thought, Lu Yuan had an idea. Other than Dao Ancestor Hongjun, in the future Primordial World, could there be any patrons better than the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao?

Once the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao attained the Dao and kicked aside the Witch and Demon Clans, that eyesore of a stumbling block, the Primordial World would from then on completely enter the Saint Era.

Beneath Saints, all were ants!

If he could take one of the future Saints as his master, then firstly, he would be protected. With the title of a Saint's disciple Bestowed Upon him, Even If they were top Great Divine Ability Users, they would not lightly provoke him.

Secondly, he could also listen to the Saint's Great Dao from time to time. Should he be fortunate enough to win a Saint's favor, he might even receive the secret mysteries of Hunyuan.

Thinking of the future, after the Primordial World entered the Saint Era, of those top Great Divine Ability Users who Became ants and suffered the oppression of Saints—

Lu Yuan's resolve only grew firmer!

He had to become a Saint's disciple!

Otherwise, even if he became a top Great Divine Ability User, Even If he possessed the bearing to attain the Dao and transcend, he would still be suppressed by Saints.

After all, if one was not born from a Saint's lineage, then as a mere ant, how could one dare dream of transcending and reaching the shore?
