The four great origin powers of earth, fire, water, and wind surged from the four treasure mountains, wrapped layer upon layer by the roots of the World Tree. Like a Gorgon Beast, the World Tree greedily devoured the four great origin powers.
Before long, the four treasure mountains had been drained. Seeing this, Fang Yang sent out four more treasure mountains, each a hundred times larger than the previous four.
Fortunately, Fang Yang was a Saint's personal disciple and could freely claim cultivation resources from the Myriad Phenomena Pavilion. If it were anyone else, merely accumulating enough resources to cultivate the Heaven and Earth Origin Dao would be harder than King Wu's Campaign Against Zhou.
Since this concerned his own Great Dao, Fang Yang did not hold back at all when gathering resources. He took every divine object containing the origins of earth, fire, wind, and water.
If he took too much, he could simply return it after finishing his cultivation. But if he took too little and his cultivation failed because of it, that would be a serious problem.
Boom!
Treasure mountains continued to fall. The roots of the World Tree grew more numerous and thicker, while massive quantities of the four great origin powers flowed into it and were digested and absorbed.
Fang Yang manifested his Dao Heart, transforming it into a Void Dao Seed.
A Natal Law was nurtured through the union of one's Dao Heart and mana. That was why some great powers suffered damage to their cultivation when their Dao Hearts were broken.
The Dao Heart was the foundation of a cultivator's Great Dao.
Fang Yang had chosen to cultivate World Creation and Transformation precisely for this day. It not only contained methods for converting matter and energy, but could also reconcile all kinds of power and bring them into balance.
Once he comprehended this, forming a Dao Seed became much easier.
The four great origin powers poured into the illusory Dao Seed. The Creation Law silently emerged, organizing the powers of the four great origins and fusing them together.
The Purple Lightning Hammer flew out. The Myriad Heavens Divine Lightning transformed into a thunder hammer and struck the illusory Dao Seed, tempering the four great origin powers with overwhelming lightning force.
The Yin Yang Two Forms Gourd also appeared, evolving the four celestial phenomena of heaven and earth and driving the four divine abilities Fang Yang had cultivated into the origins of earth, fire, water, and wind.
The origin of earth governed the Space Law, the origin of fire governed the Speed Law, the origin of wind governed the Law of Thunder, and the origin of water governed the Creation Law.
Time passed swiftly within Qingcheng Grotto-Heaven. One day outside was one year within. In the blink of an eye, five epochs had passed.
Of course, only two thousand years had passed in the outside world.
Two thousand years in the Primordial World was unimaginably brief. Even a Heavenly Immortal could enjoy a lifespan of three thousand years.
Within Observing Heaven Hall, the World Tree had long since transformed beyond recognition. Its enormous trunk rose from the ground, pierced through the hall, and extended outside, its aura more than a hundred times stronger than before.
Fang Yang sat cross-legged amid the roots of the World Tree. Above his head floated a Chaos-colored Dao Seed. Runes of the four great origins of earth, fire, water, and wind flowed across it, radiating endless Dao Charm.
The Heaven and Earth Origin Dao Seed was complete!
However, to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, Fang Yang still needed to enter the River of Destiny and plant the anchor point of his True Self, thereby obtaining Authenticity from the River of Destiny.
Authenticity was the foundation for a Great Luo Golden Immortal to attain eternal existence, remaining Immortal Undying.
Only the illusory could be destroyed. A true existence would never vanish.
Those Great Luo Golden Immortals who had fallen might seem dead, but in truth, they were merely absent. One day, they would be able to return to heaven and earth.
Fang Yang put away the World Tree, took a step forward, and left Qingcheng Grotto-Heaven.
Qingcheng Grotto-Heaven was only a small heaven and earth and could not bear the River of Destiny. He had to return to the Great Heaven and Earth to welcome the descent of the River of Destiny and condense his Grand Unity Dao Fruit.
The moment he emerged from Qingcheng Grotto-Heaven, a strand of Divine Sense descended. Seeing the surging aura around Fang Yang, its owner immediately understood what Fang Yang was about to do.
Boom!
The aura of the Quasi-Saint Realm quietly descended, sealing off all of Qingcheng Mountain. Daoist Master Qisha's will continuously spread outward, warning the immortals passing by.
Whoever dared disturb Fang Yang at this time would surely face Daoist Master Qisha's full-force strike, even disciples of a Saint Great Sect!
Daoist Master Qisha was not being overly nervous. There were never any shortages of people in the world who envied the worthy and hated the capable. Since their own abilities were insufficient, they could not bear to see later generations surpass them.
If some great power did not wish to see Fang Yang break through and pointed down with a single finger, ruining Fang Yang's cultivation, how would Daoist Master Qisha explain himself to Sect Master Tongtian?
Fang Yang sensed the hidden protection and secretly nodded. With a flash of his figure, he entered the River of Destiny.
If Daoist Master Qisha had not been protecting his Dao, he would certainly have returned to Golden Ao Island to break through. Breaking through alone outside was far too dangerous.
The River of Destiny was boundlessly vast, without shore or end.
The waters of the River of Destiny were not things that truly existed. They were woven from countless strands of karma, fate, destiny, heavenly secrets, possibilities, and more.
It could be said that the River of Destiny carried all karma within the Primordial Heaven and Earth, reflecting the past, present, and future.
Within the River of Destiny, Fang Yang saw countless versions of himself: himself crying at birth, himself fleeing the pursuit of primitive tribes with his parents, and himself battling Working Leopard.
These were all Fang Yang's past. To beings below the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, the past was fixed and forever singular.
Fang Yang continued looking downstream and saw his future selves.
There were far too many future Fang Yangs: one who attained Great Luo, one who met Death of Dao, one who entered the Investiture of the Gods, and even one who presided over the Eastern Sutra Retrieval...
Yes, the Eastern Sutra Retrieval, not the Journey to the West.
In that stretch of the future, Fang Yang developed the Interception Sect into a flourishing force. The various eastern races each found their proper place and prospered.
Seeing this, the Western Sect sent disciples to Golden Ao Island to seek the sutras.
The future inherently held infinite possibilities. Every action Fang Yang took and every choice he made would affect the evolution of the River of Destiny.
Fang Yang gathered his mind and condensed a wisp of Chaos-colored Dao Seed power at his fingertips.
With a low shout, the Heaven and Earth Origin Dao Seed above Fang Yang's head suddenly bloomed with ten thousand zhang of rosy light. Runes of the four great origins of earth, fire, water, and wind interwove into a net, sorting through all the karma and destiny around him.
He raised his hand and pointed. The Dao Seed transformed into a Great Anchor and savagely plunged toward the riverbed of the River of Destiny.
Clang!
The Great Anchor fiercely gripped the riverbed, fixing Fang Yang's true body within the Present World.
"Heaven and Earth Origin, All Laws Return to One!"
Seizing the opportunity, Fang Yang used the Great Anchor as a Dao marker and began drawing upon his own Authenticity. The moment a trace of Authenticity entered his body, Fang Yang's Dao Seed finally broke free of its shell, evolving into a Dao Fruit brimming with Immortal Aura.
The Grand Unity Dao Fruit was complete. In an instant, countless "Fang Yangs" evolved within the River of Destiny. These Fang Yangs were no longer mere images, but Fang Yang's Other Selves.
At once, Fang Yang experienced a wondrous sensation. He was no longer one person, but countless people—and yet, all those countless people had always been him.
Boom!
Above Qingcheng Mountain, Golden Lotuses bloomed, ten thousand rays of rosy light shone, and a thousand streams of auspicious qi filled the air. Surrounded by these phenomena, Fang Yang returned to heaven and earth.
The Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm had finally been attained!
