Memory Sharing, Breakthrough to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal

Longevity Mountain, within Wuzhuang Temple.

This place, nourished year after year by the Innate Xutu Great Formation, had long since transcended the mundane.

When the Chaos Energy Streams from the outside world reached this point, they were transformed by the formation's power into auspicious clouds, merging with the pure and incomparable Innate Earthen Energy to form a dense, substance-like Profound Yellow mist.

It evolved into visions of the Great Earth Dao—golden lotuses sprouting from the ground, layered mountain peaks, dragons and serpents rising from the land—all profoundly mysterious, with every breath carrying supreme Dao insight.

At the very core of the formation, a massive, majestic sphere of Profound Yellow light, radiating boundless Earth Dao resonance and vitality, about a zhang in diameter, hung Quietly Suspended. Its glow was soft yet deep, as if containing an endless world within.

This was Zhenyuanzi's true body—the Essence of Innate Earthen Energy.

Though the time had not yet come for him to take form, his aura was vast and profound, already at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. He was only a single step away from the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal fruit, yet that step was a chasm as wide as heaven and earth.

Before the sphere of light, Daoist Hongyun, clad in a crimson Daoist robe with a handsome and carefree countenance, sat cross-legged, his expression focused.

On either side, the Daoist children Qingfeng and Mingyu also held their breath and concentrated, straightening their small frames as they listened with rapt attention, afraid to miss a single word.

Zhenyuanzi was expounding on the Way of the Great Earth's great virtue carrying all things and the essence of cultivation techniques. His voice was not transmitted through speech but directly through divine thought fluctuations, explaining profound truths in simple terms, every word a gem, as he elaborated on the mysteries of the Kunyuan True Scripture and the Heaven and Earth Law.

When he reached the subtlest and most profound points, the entire vein of Longevity Mountain resonated with him, trembling slightly. The dense, liquid-like Innate Spiritual Qi around them, drawn by the Dao resonance, automatically gathered into brilliant golden lotuses that bloomed out of thin air, then quietly vanished, returning to spiritual energy in an Endless Circulation, with Dao resonance permeating every inch of space.

Just as the sermon reached its finest moment and everyone was immersed in the Dao Realm, a sudden change occurred!

A streak of cyan light, faster than thought itself, ignored the obstruction of the Innate Great Earth Formation, which was strong enough to withstand attacks from a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

As if it were naturally a part of the formation, it fell like a meteor from beyond the heavens, straight into the core of the temple. The light converged, revealing the tall figure of Lord Wanshouyuan.

His aura was as deep as the ocean, and though the fluctuations of his Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal mana were deliberately restrained, the intangible pressure brought by the leap in life level still Spread Out like mercury spilling on the ground, abruptly cutting off the profound sermon and causing the blooming and vanishing golden lotuses in the air to pause.

"Daoist friend has returned!" Hongyun was the first to snap out of his shock, a genuine look of joy appearing on his face. He could clearly feel the Completely Different and awe-inspiring powerful aura emanating from Lord Wanshouyuan.

Qingfeng and Mingyu quickly rose from their cattail hassocks, bowed respectfully, and spoke with excitement and reverence: "We pay respects to Master (the clone)."

Lord Wanshouyuan first Slightly Nodded to Hongyun as a greeting, then his gaze instantly fell upon the Profound Yellow Essence of Innate Earthen Energy.

The two were originally one, originating from the same source, with a profound connection beyond words between them. There was no need for pleasantries; an invisible yet tight bond was instantly established, with everything understood without speaking.

"This journey has yielded much, and I shall share it with the true body."

Lord Wanshouyuan said succinctly. After speaking, he sat cross-legged directly in front of the Essence of Innate Earthen Energy, closed his eyes, and assumed a solemn expression.

The next moment, a flash of cyan light appeared at his brow, and a stream of divine thought, condensed to the extreme and containing a vast and complex flow of information, surged forth like a bursting heavenly river. Yet it was controlled with exquisite precision, entering the Profound Yellow sphere of light without any hindrance.

Hongyun, sitting to the side, and Qingfeng and Mingyu, standing on either side, watched as Lord Wanshouyuan and Zhenyuanzi's true body simultaneously trembled slightly. A vast, complex torrent of thought—containing countless images, insights, emotions, and even fragments of the Great Dao Law—transmitted and merged between them at a speed surpassing time itself.

The Dao resonance around both of them fluctuated violently, with visions appearing one after another. Sometimes cyan light shot into the sky, sometimes Profound Yellow Qi surged, as if they were undergoing a drastic transformation.

Zhenyuanzi's true body—that sphere of Essence of Innate Earthen Energy—was now receiving, analyzing, and digesting all the memories, information, and personal insights transmitted by Lord Wanshouyuan at an astonishing speed:

The beginning at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, where he endured the ubiquitous and increasingly terrifying Pangu Pressure with his pure Dao body, every step a struggle of hardship and perseverance;

On the mountainside, the chance discovery of the Innate Restriction, the expenditure of mental energy to comprehend the profound Xiantian Four Symbols Great Array, and the unexpected joy of successfully obtaining the Innate Spiritual Root, the Four Symbols Plantain Tree;

During the climb, his physical body Time and Again approached its limit, nearly collapsing, only to break through under extreme pressure by relying on the Wood Scripture and his unyielding will, ultimately reaching the mid-stage of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm—a process of both exhilarating release and painful tempering;

At the mountain's peak, the sudden change in the pressure environment, facing the vast and majestic Pangu's unyielding will and the countless traces of the Great Dao's initial opening, which shook his soul and elevated his Dao Realm;

The moment he reached the summit, standing at the pinnacle of the Primordial World, overlooking heaven and earth, that vast spirit of "looking down on all mountains from a single peak," and the natural, effortless flow of mana within him as he stepped into the perfect freedom of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal fruit;

And the greatest harvest, one that could shake the entire Primordial World—the entire process of discovering and carefully collecting the three drops of Pangu Jade Marrow, including the purest, most fundamental creative force contained within the marrow, which made his soul tremble yet yearn desperately...

And on the way down the mountain, in a remote cave on the other side rarely visited by anyone, the astonishing encounter of unexpectedly obtaining the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, formed from Pangu's final wisp of primordial energy mixed with a large amount of Mysterious Yellow Merit Qi...

All of this—every experience, every obstacle, every insight, every gain—

was as if Zhenyuanzi had personally lived through it. Every detail, every palpitation of the heart, every moment of enlightenment, every fluctuation of emotion, was flawlessly and completely integrated into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, becoming his own most precious experience and deepest foundation.

This sharing of memories and insights, originating from the same source, had an effect far beyond what words or the transmission of techniques could achieve.

It was equivalent to Zhenyuanzi, without consuming any of his own time or energy, perfectly and immersively replicating the entire journey and all the insights of Lord Wanshouyuan's trip to Buzhou Mountain! Its value was immeasurable!

"Boom—!"

With the complete fusion and absorption of this vast sea of memories and insights, especially the enlightenment of heaven and earth and the baptism of the Great Dao at the moment of reaching the summit, as well as the fundamental stirring from the Pangu Jade Marrow, Zhenyuanzi's cultivation bottleneck, which had stagnated at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm for so long, was shattered as if struck by a Giant Hammer!

Vast Innate Earthen Energy frantically converged from the veins of Longevity Mountain, causing the entire mountain range to rumble.

His aura visibly rose step by step, rapidly breaking through a once-impregnable Invisible Barrier and entering a Brand New, more vast and powerful, profoundly mysterious and indescribable realm!

Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

At this point, Zhenyuanzi, the Essence of Innate Earthen Energy, had finally attained the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal fruit! He had leaped beyond the Three Realms and was no longer within the Five Elements!

Though his true body still maintained the form of the Essence of Innate Earthen Energy and had not yet encountered the opportunity to take form, its essence had undergone an Earth-shattering transformation. His mana surged boundlessly, his divine sense reached the four corners of heaven and earth, and his understanding of the Way of the Great Earth had reached an unprecedented height, nearly approaching the Dao itself!

The Profound Yellow halo surrounding him grew even thicker, brighter, and deeper. As the light flowed, it seemed as if countless miniature mountains, rivers, and territories of the earth were being born and evolving within it, containing infinite creation and power.
