Grand Unity

"Leave the spiritual root! I'll spare your life!" Kuafu roared like thunder, his voice shaking the wilderness!

The man was several zhang tall, with a face like a ripe date, a bushy beard bristling, and eyes like fiery copper bells.

He wore a helmet made from the skull of a ferocious giant beast, a heavy bronze plate armor, and wielded a door-sized great axe.

With one step, the earth cracked, and malevolent energy condensed into solid armor, carrying a terrifying power that could split mountains and cleave peaks, directly pursuing Dao Xuan!

Dao Xuan's heart tightened!

A Great Witch!

This was a terrifying existence comparable to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Especially since Kuafu was known for his immense strength and enduring stamina!

He dared not be negligent, pushing his evasion speed to the extreme!

Beneath his feet, the Li Fire Feathered Sword transformed into a crimson fiery line, whistling through the air!

In his hand, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Merit Ruler pulsed with Mysterious Yellow Qi, breaking through the obstructing airflow ahead!

Even so, Kuafu's mountain-like figure was still rapidly growing larger in his vision!

"Thief! Where do you think you're going!"

Kuafu roared and suddenly threw the great axe in his hand!

The great axe turned into a dark streak of light that tore through the sky, carrying the immense power to shatter stars, instantly crossing space, and striking directly at Dao Xuan's back!

Before the axe even arrived, the terrifying gust of wind and malevolent energy made Dao Xuan's back feel as if it were pricked by needles, and his Primordial Spirit trembled!

"Block!"

Dao Xuan gritted his teeth and abruptly turned around!

The power of the sixth revolution of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique within his body erupted, his muscles bulged, and his Blood Essence surged like a dragon!

At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Merit Ruler unleashed an unprecedented, brilliant Mysterious Yellow light!

On the body of the ruler, Dao runes frantically circulated, and the Dao charm that annihilated all laws condensed to the extreme!

"Break!"

Dao Xuan poured all his strength into wielding the ruler to meet the terrifying great axe!

Clang—!!!!

A deafening roar, even louder than before, as if it could tear the heavens and earth apart, erupted!

A terrifying shockwave exploded in a ring!

The mountains below shattered, and ancient trees turned to dust!

Dao Xuan felt as if he had been struck by an ancient divine mountain. The right arm holding the ruler throbbed with pain, his tiger's mouth split open, and his golden-red blood (containing Taiqing Immortal Light and Profound Technique Blood Essence) instantly stained his apricot-yellow Daoist robe!

His throat felt sweet, and a surge of blood rushed up, but he forcefully suppressed it!

The great axe was directly knocked flying by the destructive Dao charm and half-formed Heaven-Opening Merit contained within the Mysterious Yellow Ruler, spinning back!

But Dao Xuan was also shaken by the immense, irresistible force, his Blood Essence churning, his internal organs displaced. His evasion light instantly dimmed, and his body was like a shooting star, violently smashed towards a mountain peak below!

Boom!

Rocks shattered, and dust billowed!

"Cough, cough..." Dao Xuan emerged from the rubble, his face slightly pale, a wisp of golden-red blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, clearly suffering from no small internal injuries.

But there was no fear in his eyes; instead, his fighting spirit surged!

"A worthy Great Witch! Truly lives up to its reputation!"

"Thief! Die!" Although Chi You had lost an arm, his ferocity was undiminished. He endured the intense pain, malevolent energy enveloping his severed limb, and charged again like a wild bull!

In front was the fierce Witch Chi You with a severed arm, and behind was the enraged Great Witch Kuafu!

Two Great Clan powerhouses, attacking from both sides!

"Do you really think this Daoist is made of mud?!" Dao Xuan was also provoked!

The Chaos Bead in his Mud Pill Palace moved almost imperceptibly. The Nine Dragon Myriad Treasure Seal's profound Dao rhythm circulated, stabilizing his Primordial Spirit and physical body.

He formed a hand seal with his left hand and unleashed the Wind and Thunder Pearl again!

"Wind and Thunder move together! Suppress!"

Boom!

Purple lightning danced like wild dragons, and green gales cut like celestial blades, instantly engulfing the charging Chi You!

Chi You, severely wounded and caught off guard, was blasted backward by the wind and thunder, his malevolent energy armor flickering unstably, and new scorched wounds appeared on his body!

Seizing this opportunity!

Dao Xuan slammed the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Merit Ruler onto the ground!

"Mysterious Yellow Immeasurable! Suppress!"

Buzz!

The vast Mysterious Yellow Qi erupted centered around the ruler, transforming into a solidified curtain of Mysterious Yellow light that instantly enveloped an area of a hundred zhang!

It was like raising an indestructible Mysterious Yellow barrier on a chaotic battlefield!

BOOM!

Kuafu's imposing, mountain-like figure slammed heavily against the Mysterious Yellow curtain!

The curtain vibrated violently, the Mysterious Yellow Qi churning like boiling water, countless Great Dao runes flickering in and out of existence, yet it stubbornly withstood the enraged charge of the Great Witch!

Kuafu felt a power, supremely potent and yang, that could shatter all methods, rebound back at him. It caused his Blood Essence to surge, and his body faltered!

"A treasure of merit?!" A hint of shock flashed in Kuafu's bell-like eyes.

Seizing this opportunity!

Dao Xuan's eyes shot out with brilliant light!

"Now!"

Without hesitation, he abruptly retracted the Wind and Thunder Pearl, his mind racing!

"Myriad Treasures Nine Dragon Seal! Earth Evasion!"

HUM!

The Treasure Distribution Rock Seal instantly flew from his sleeve, transforming into a stream of gray-white light that plunged into the earth beneath his feet!

An incredibly heavy sense of suppression and support permeated the air!

Dao Xuan's figure followed closely, as if merging with the earth, and vanished in an instant!

"Earth Evasion?!"

Kuafu roared, his massive fist, imbued with mountain-shattering power, smashing fiercely where Dao Xuan had disappeared!

RUMBLE!

The earth collapsed, forming a giant pit dozens of zhang deep!

However, at the bottom of the pit were only soil and rubble; Dao Xuan's figure was nowhere to be seen!

The Supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure-level Earth Element Evasion Technique contained within the Treasure Distribution Rock Seal, combined with its power to suppress and support Daoist rhyme, had perfectly concealed Dao Xuan's aura and escape light!

"Argh--! This infuriates me!" Kuafu roared at the sky, his voice echoing through the mountains!

Chi You also rushed over, his face ashen as he looked at the empty giant pit.

"Big Brother! That scoundrel..."

"Chase him! He's injured, he can't have gone far! Issue an order to all units!

Seal off the area within ten thousand li of Buzhou Mountain!

Dig three feet deep if you have to, find that brat for me! And retrieve the heirloom of Father God!" Kuafu's eyes blazed with fury, his killing intent soaring.

Deep within the earth's veins.

Wrapped by the Myriad Treasures Nine Dragon Seal, Dao Xuan traveled through the dense earth vein energy like a swimming fish.

His face was pale, his magical power greatly depleted, his internal organs ached faintly, and his right arm sent waves of tearing pain.

"Hiss... the power of a Great Witch is truly terrifying! If not for the Mysterious Yellow Ruler and the Sixth Revolution of the Profound Technique, that axe would have taken half my life!" Dao Xuan felt lingering fear.

He dared not delay, fully activating the Treasure Distribution Rock Seal and fleeing in the direction away from Buzhou Mountain.

At the same time, he circulated the Taiqing Immortal Art, drawing upon the Kunlun Immortal Spiritual Qi (contained within a jade talisman bestowed by Laozi before his departure) to nourish his injured body and restore his magical power.

He didn't know how long he had been fleeing, diving tens of thousands of li underground.

Dao Xuan sensed a point where the earth veins converged, where fire energy was exceptionally pure and vigorous.

Guided by the Myriad Treasures Nine Dragon Seal, he broke through a layer of rock.

His vision suddenly opened up!

It was a massive underground cave!

Countless stalactites hung from the cave ceiling, crystal clear, dripping with nectar and jade liquid.

Below, a pool of crimson lava flowed slowly, emitting a scorching heat, yet without the stench of sulfur; instead, it contained pure essence of earth fire.

In the center of the lava pool, a huge black platform protruded, smooth as a mirror, emitting a gentle aura that could isolate it from the high temperature of the earth fire.

"What a fine Earth Fire Spiritual Aperture! It's truly an excellent place for healing and refining treasures!" Dao Xuan rejoiced.

He flew down and landed on the black platform.

The Treasure Distribution Rock Seal hovered above his head, emitting a dense chaotic energy that isolated internal and external auras and suppressed the earth fire.

The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Merit Ruler lay across his knees, Mysterious Yellow Qi flowing, protecting his body.

Dao Xuan sat down cross-legged and took out the healing immortal pills bestowed by Laozi.

The pills dissolved upon entering his mouth, transforming into a warm and powerful stream of immortal spiritual energy that quickly nourished his damaged internal organs and meridians, repairing his physical injuries.

At the same time, the Taiqing Immortal Art was fully circulated, the Three Flowers above his head swaying, the Five Qi within his chest flowing, absorbing the dense earth vein spiritual energy and fire essence of this place.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique also began to circulate on its own. Blood Essence surged like mercury, washing over the wounds, mending broken bones and sealing cracks. The physical body glowed with a treasure-like radiance, even more brilliant than before!

After an unknown amount of time passed.

Dao Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

Divine light blazed within his pupils, his aura was smooth and full, his injuries completely healed, and his magical power had advanced significantly. The bottleneck of the peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm seemed to have loosened slightly.

"It's time!"

His gaze was fervent as he looked towards his sleeve.

He waved his large sleeve.

Hum!

Treasure light billowed, and auspicious qi surged in thousands of streams!

The three-foot-tall Banana Tree, a supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Root, emerald green like jade, appeared on the black platform.

Its four Innate Spiritual Leaves swayed gently, radiating the scorching heat of fire, the biting cold of water, the sharpness of wind, and the heaviness of earth. Four distinct yet naturally integrated Dao rhymes permeated the air, bathing the entire cave in a dazzling, colorful light.

"Earth, water, fire, wind... the four primal essences, the foundation for the evolution of all things!" Dao Xuan's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"If I can fuse them into one, it will surely become an extraordinary Innate Spiritual Treasure! It will also be my opportunity to break through to Grand Unity!"

He took a deep breath, calming his state of mind.

He formed profound hand seals, and the power of his Primordial Spirit surged from his Mud Pill Palace, communicating with the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Merit Ruler and the Treasure Distribution Rock Seal!

"Heaven and Earth as the furnace! Creation as the craftsman! Yin and Yang as the fuel! All things as the copper!"

"Mysterious Yellow Qi as the guide! Treasure Distribution as the foundation! The Four Primal Essences! Fuse!"

Dao Xuan chanted the true words, his voice like a divine roar!

Hum!

The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Merit Ruler responded first!

From the ruler's body, vast Mysterious Yellow Qi erupted. It wasn't destructive, but transformed into a force of creation, extremely pure and refined, harmonizing Yin and Yang and regulating all things. It was like an invisible furnace fire, enveloping the entire Banana Tree!

The Treasure Distribution Rock Seal also vibrated, emitting a dense chaotic energy. It transformed into an invisible furnace base, supporting the four primal essences and suppressing the earth, fire, wind, and water!

Boom!

Within the cave, the pool of crimson lava seemed to be drawn in. The essence of earth and fire surged upwards, transforming into a crimson fire dragon that merged into the Mysterious Yellow furnace fire!

The fire leaf responded first, its crimson light flaring intensely. The fiery patterns came alive, transforming into the most refined essence of fire!

Immediately after!

The water leaf's azure light flowed, its icy chill permeating the air. Ripples of water spread out, and the refined essence of water overflowed!

The wind leaf was verdant and dripping, the sound of gales roaring. The sharp essence of wind appeared!

The earth leaf was heavy and earth-yellow, its terrestrial veins clearly visible, the condensed essence of Wutu solidifying!

These four streams of extremely refined primal essence, under the smelting of the Mysterious Yellow furnace fire and the suppression and support of the Treasure Distribution Rock Seal, began to slowly merge!

This process was extremely difficult!

The four primal essences, their attributes clashing and giving rise to each other, meant that any slight mistake would lead to a conflict of essences and the complete destruction of the Spiritual Treasure!

Dao Xuan's Primordial Spirit was highly concentrated, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he exerted his full control over the Mysterious Yellow Qi, harmonizing Yin and Yang and resolving the conflicts.

Time seemed to lose all meaning in this underground cave.

Dao Xuan was like the most exquisite craftsman, using his Primordial Spirit as a hammer and the Mysterious Yellow Qi as a guide, continuously striking and smelting the four primal essences.

Gradually.

The crimson, azure, emerald, and earth-yellow lights were no longer distinct, but began to slowly rotate, forming a vortex where the four colors blended.

At the center of the vortex, a point of chaotic light was quietly born!

Initially faint, it contained the supreme Dao rhyme of the creation of heaven and earth and the evolution of all things!

Hum!

The moment that point of chaotic light stabilized!

The entire body of the Banana Tree transformed into a stream of emerald light, actively throwing itself into the vortex!

Rumble!

Within the cave, rays of auspicious light shot out in all directions! Auspicious qi surged in thousands of streams!

An indescribably terrifying aura erupted!

If not for the suppression of the Treasure Distribution Rock Seal, the entire earth's ley lines would have been overturned!

The four-colored vortex rapidly collapsed!

Finally, it transformed into a peculiar fan!

This fan was neither gold, nor jade, nor stone. Its handle was chaotic in color, as if condensed from the most primal chaotic energy.

The fan surface was woven from the four primal essences of earth, water, fire, and wind, evolving into images of mountains and rivers, vast oceans and fiery seas, the nine heavens' gales, and the thick, earthly ground, cycling endlessly, ceaselessly!

The end of the fan handle was naturally engraved with two ancient dao patterns: "Banana"!

It was the Supreme-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure—the Four Symbols Banana Fan!

As soon as this treasure was formed, a vast and majestic primal dao charm fed back, instantly surging into Dao Xuan's body!

Boom!

Dao Xuan's body trembled violently!

The Three Flowers above his head spun madly at an unprecedented speed, solidifying!

The Five Qi in his chest boiled, returning to the origin and unifying!

In the Mud Pill Palace, his Primordial Spirit radiated immeasurable light!

The chasm that had separated the Grand Unity and the Grand Unity Golden Immortal was shattered by the impact of the Four Symbols origin and the treasure-forming dao charm of the Banana Fan!

An aura of immortality, indestructibility, and transcendence of the river of time and space surged from Dao Xuan's body!

Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

Dao Fruit newly formed!

At the same time!

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was impacted by this majestic power, and the bottleneck of the sixth revolution's peak was pierced like thin paper!

Boom!

Dao Xuan's body expanded again!

A thousand zhang... ten thousand zhang!

The Blood Essence around his body roared like thunder, and his bones and sinews chimed like dragon roars!

His muscles were coiled like dragons, and under his skin, treasure light flowed, with faint, mysterious dao patterns appearing!

A terrifying power originating from the source of his physical body, like an ancient fierce beast awakening from its slumber!

The extreme of strength, shattering all laws!

The seventh revolution of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique!

His physical strength was already comparable to a peak Great Witch, perhaps even surpassing it!

Dao Xuan felt the boundless, seemingly inexhaustible power surging within him, and the Grand Unity Dao Fruit in his Primordial Spirit, which transcended time and space and overlooked the river of fate. He couldn't help but let out a long roar!

The roar pierced metal and shattered stone, containing Grand Unity dao charm and profound technique divine power, shaking the entire underground cave so much that it rumbled. If not for the suppression of the Treasure Distribution Rock Seal, it would have already collapsed!

"Grand Unity Golden Immortal! Seventh Revolution of the Profound Technique!"

"This near-death experience was worth it!"

With a thought, his ten-thousand-zhang Dharma body retracted, returning to its normal state.

He beckoned, and the Banana Fan, with its chaotic fan handle and Four Symbols fan surface, fell into his hand.

It felt warm to the touch, yet heavy as ten thousand jun. The power of the Four Symbols origin was contained within, and with a single thought, he could summon the wind, water, fire, and earth, evolving infinite power!

"What a treasure!" Dao Xuan couldn't put it down.

He looked at himself again.

Wearing a Blue Gauze Headband and an Apricot Yellow Bagua Immortal Robe, despite the great battle, he was spotless, exuding an even greater immortal aura.

His face was like jade, his eyes like bright stars, his bearing handsome and refined, with dao charm flowing around him, his Grand Unity aura already formed.

"It's time to leave."

Dao Xuan put away all his treasures, leaving only the Banana Fan in his hand.

The Treasure Distribution Rock Seal above his head flashed with a faint light, and his figure disappeared from the cave deep within the earth's veins.

The next moment.

Above an unnamed valley on the Great Desolation land.

Space rippled slightly, and Dao Xuan's figure quietly appeared.

He felt the clearer law patterns between heaven and earth in the Great Desolation, as well as the ubiquitous and increasingly dense aura of calamity. His gaze was profound.

"Witch-Demon... Calamity..."

"Grand Unity achieved, seventh revolution of the Profound Technique, and with treasures by my side."

"It's time for this Great Desolation's storm to have a place for me!"

A clear wind blew, and his daoist robe fluttered.

Dao Xuan took a step forward, his figure merging with the clouds and mist, disappearing into the horizon.
