Primordial Wilderness: Mythical Grand Unity, Saints Beg Me Not to Show Off

He carefully put away the Pangu Jade Marrow, then spoke to Dijiang.

"Daoist Dijiang, this place is rich with Pangu's aura and naturally formed Dao rhythm—an excellent retreat. Ao Chen wishes to seclude himself here for a time to solidify his cultivation. Would that be convenient?"

"Haha! You jest, Daoist!" Dijiang laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"You are a great benefactor of our Wu Clan. The entire Pangu Temple is yours to use as you wish! If you need any resources, just say the word!"

Having such a powerful figure stay with the Wu Clan to cultivate was also a good thing for them.

"Thank you, Daoist." Ao Chen nodded in gratitude.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the Twelve Ancestral Witches left the Pangu Temple, leaving Ao Chen alone, who then sank into seclusion.

In the following days, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin guarded the outer reaches of the Pangu Temple, while the other Ancestral Witches departed one after another.

Ao Chen had passed down a great method; they had to spread it immediately, and besides, they themselves were eager to begin cultivating it.

Days and moons rose and set, and in the blink of an eye, several years passed.

One day, a report came in.

"Reporting to Ancestral Witch Dijiang and Ancestral Witch Zhu Jiuyin, there is a messenger claiming to be from the East Sea Immortal Court, saying he bears orders from East King Duke to deliver an invitation!"

An Immortal Court messenger?

Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

"Let him in," Dijiang said in a deep voice.

After a moment, a divine general clad in silver immortal armor, with a haughty expression and radiating pure Yang immortal energy, his cultivation clearly at the mid Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, strode into the depths of the Pangu Temple holding two jade invitations.

Seeing Dijiang seated at the head, along with Zhu Jiuyin and the other Ancestral Witches, the divine general was inwardly shocked by their imposing presence, but recalling his master's decree, he steadied himself and gave a slight bow.

"Yingchuan, one of the seventy-two divine generals of the Immortal Court, by order of my lords East King Duke and West Queen Mother, hereby invites the Ancestral Witches to the East Sea to observe the Immortal Court Establishment Ceremony!"

With that, he respectfully presented the two invitations.

Dijiang reached out, drew the invitations into his hand, and swept his divine sense over them. The content was indeed an invitation for the Wu Clan to attend the Immortal Court Establishment Ceremony at the East Sea.

"Hmph, East King Duke... quite the bold move." A trace of disdain flashed in Dijiang's eyes as he casually tossed the invitations aside.

Zhu Jiuyin took the other one but didn't even look at it, his expression indifferent.

Seeing this, the divine general Yingchuan's face flickered with displeasure, but he dared not act out, merely saying, "The invitations have been delivered. Yingchuan takes his leave."

"No need to see you out." Dijiang waved a hand.

After Yingchuan had gone far, Dijiang spoke again.

"Hongjun appoints a Head of Male Immortals, and this East King Duke comes crawling up—truly asking for death."

"Why bother with him? He's just courting doom." Zhu Jiuyin sneered.

"Has he not heard that in the Primordial Wilderness, strength rules? A mere innate sacred being, at best a peak Great Luo, dares to send invitations to all immortals? Ridiculous."

Dijiang nodded slightly at this.

"The timing is delicate; we must be cautious. But as for this Immortal Court ceremony, going or not makes little difference."

They had just fought a great battle with the Demon Race and were in a critical period of recuperation and spreading the Sky-Covering Method created by Ao Chen. Why would they have time to bother with East King Duke's so-called "Immortal Court"?

Meanwhile, this scene was playing out across the Primordial Wilderness.

Almost no one took this so-called Heavenly Court seriously. As Zhu Jiuyin said, in the Primordial Wilderness, strength is king; without power, everything is empty talk.

Thus, many great beings merely paid lip service upon receiving the invitations, their attendance still uncertain.

At the same time, deep within the Pangu Temple, Ao Chen had already fallen into deep seclusion, and the Pangu Jade Marrow had been quietly swallowed by him.

Chapter 37: Heavenly Immortal Perfection, Winds Rise in the Primordial Wilderness as Quasi-Sages Emerge

In the deepest part of the Pangu Temple, within that vast space filled with Chaos Qi Flow and Pangu's Will, Ao Chen sat cross-legged, faint starlight swirling around him.

Before him, the milky-white Pangu Jade Marrow had shrunk by more than half, transforming into the purest, most primordial life energy and Pangu power, endlessly surging into his limbs and bones, nourishing his body, primordial spirit, and the Star River Universe within.

This place was already a top-tier cultivation sanctuary in the Primordial Wilderness, rich with Pangu's aura and naturally formed Dao rhythm.

Now, supplemented by the supreme treasure of the Pangu Jade Marrow, Ao Chen's cultivation speed could only be described as advancing a thousand miles in a single day.

The late Mythical Heavenly Immortal realm was rapidly consolidated and fortified under the support of this vast energy.

His understanding of the Great Dao Origin Scripture: Heavenly Immortal Chapter deepened, and the characteristics of "Eternal Uniqueness, Time is My Sole Proof" grew more condensed. The "Unique True Self Imprint" anchored in the past became even more stable, its connection to the Present Body tighter.

At the same time, the many mysteries of the recently perfected Great Dao Origin Scripture: Mythical True Immortal Chapter flowed and verified within his mind.

Though he had not yet begun truly cultivating the True Immortal Chapter, its core concepts—self-attainment of the Dao, Immortal Body, Indestructible Primordial Spirit, Condensing Three Bodies, and Use My Heart to Replace Heavenly Heart—served as a guiding light, giving him clearer insight into his future path and, in turn, promoting his understanding and consolidation of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

Under such nearly lavish cultivation conditions, time flowed slowly.

A hundred years... a thousand years... ten thousand years...

The moment the last essence of the Pangu Jade Marrow was completely refined and absorbed, merging into the Star River Universe within Ao Chen—

Boom!!!

An aura far more terrifying, more complete, and more profound than when he broke through to the late stage erupted from Ao Chen's body, instantly sweeping through the entire core space of the Pangu Temple!

The Star River Universe within him expanded violently, with the number, size, and brilliance of its stars reaching an unprecedented peak!

As the star river turned, it subtly drove the rhythm of real time and space, as if this inner universe could break free from its bonds at any moment and transform into a true vast world!

His physical body was crystalline and translucent, shimmering with an immortal luster, and every gesture seemed to contain the mighty power to shatter stars!

His Primordial Spirit was more condensed and transparent than ever before, resonating from afar with the true self imprint of past time and space, as if at any moment he could take that critical step and begin to pull in and condense the bodies of the future and present!

Mythical Heavenly Immortal Perfection!

Only a single step remained before that truly immortal and indestructible realm of the Mythical True Immortal, where one condensed three bodies and attained Dao through self-realization!

As long as he was willing, he could at any moment begin attempting to condense the past and future bodies and charge into the True Immortal realm!

"Hoo..." Ao Chen slowly opened his eyes, the star river swirling within his pupils, as if containing the endless mysteries of cosmic birth and death.

Feeling the perfect, flawless, surging power within his body, he knew that his current comprehensive combat strength was likely no weaker than those old-school Quasi-Sage great powers of the Primordial World!

Yet, just as Ao Chen had achieved perfection and prepared to rise, At that same moment, the entire Primordial World seemed to welcome an unprecedented surge of breakthroughs!

Within Kunlun Mountain, in the Three Pure Ones Hall.

Above the head of the Primordial Lord of Heaven, within his Auspicious Cloud, atop a green lotus sat a figure identical in appearance to him, yet more majestic and aloof—the Good Corpse!

Success in severing one corpse, Peak Early Quasi-Sage!

Sect Master Tongtian was surrounded by Sword Qi soaring to the heavens, the shadow of an ancient longsword, neither bronze nor iron nor steel, floating at his side, its Killing Intent shaking heaven and earth—he too had severed his Good Corpse, Peak Early Quasi-Sage!

Laozi's aura of Non-action grew ever deeper, as if fully merging with the Heavenly Dao itself. Though no obvious signs appeared, the Quasi-Sage Pressure he faintly emitted was even more vast than that of the Primordial Lord of Heaven and Sect Master Tongtian!

On the main peak of Phoenix Perch Mountain in the Buzhou Mountain range.

Nuwa was surrounded by flowing Qi of Creation, a holy and compassionate Dao body faintly appearing behind her—she too had clearly succeeded in severing a corpse!

Fuxi shone with Divine Light, a majestic figure stepping forth from him—he had also severed his Good Corpse.

Deep within the Sun Palace.

Above Di Jun's head, the River Diagram and Luo Book spun without pause, empowered by the Power of the Stars, as a figure clad in an Imperial Robe, majestic beyond compare, stepped forth from his Auspicious Cloud!

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was even more domineering, the Chaos Bell suspended above his head as he directly sought to Prove Dao by Force.

Though he had not severed a corpse, his aura was so formidable that he had firmly stepped onto the Quasi-Sage Threshold, even surpassing ordinary Quasi-Sages who had severed one corpse!

On Western Mount Sumeru.

Jieyin and Zhunti wore expressions of suffering, yet each had severed one corpse, Buddha Light flickering faintly as Quasi-Sage Pressure spread.

At Wuzhuang Temple.

Above Zhen Yuanzi's head, the shadow of the Book of Earth appeared, and a figure of a Daoist merged with the great earth took shape...

At the Blood Sea.

Old Ancestor Minghe's Killing Intent soared to the heavens, Yuantu and Abi circling around him...

Almost all of the top-tier great powers who had gained something from the Second Sermon at Zixiao Palace had, during this period, used the "Severing Three Corpses" method passed down by Hongjun to break through their bottlenecks and step into the long-dreamed-of Quasi-Sage realm!

These Great Divine Powers had already accumulated deep foundations; now that the path ahead was clear, their advancement was merely a matter of an instant.

Among them, those with profound enlightenment and deep reserves—such as the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Di Jun, Jieyin, Zhunti, Zhen Yuanzi, and others—had directly severed one corpse and reached Peak Early Quasi-Sage!

In an instant, the number of Quasi-Sages in the Primordial World skyrocketed! The fate and structure of the entire world were undergoing drastic changes in silence!

The old era was coming to an end, and the new era—the era of Quasi-Sage contention—had already arrived!

Deep within the Pangu Temple, Ao Chen naturally sensed this rising and falling, vast and mighty wave of Quasi-Sage breakthrough auras across the Primordial World.

His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"They've all broken through to Quasi-Sage, have they? The method of Severing Three Corpses is indeed swift."

Compared to these mainstream cultivators who relied on Hongjun's Dao methods and conformed to the Heavenly Dao, his self-created Mythical Grand Unity Method made every step arduous, even inviting Heavenly Tribulation to erase him. And now, he was only at the peak of the Mythical Heavenly Immortal realm.

Yet there was no trace of impatience or envy in Ao Chen's heart.
