Absorb Pangu Jade Marrow, Improve Foundation [Seeking Follow-up Reads]

The sharing ended. Lord Wanshouyuan opened his eyes, a gratified smile on his face.

The halo around Zhenyuanzi's main body slowly settled as well, but the vast aura of a newly ascended Great Luo, with an incredibly deep foundation, spread out like an awakened ancient divine mountain, filling the entire Wuzhuang Temple and making even Red Cloud feel a tremor in his heart.

Red Cloud carefully sensed the pressure emanating from Zhenyuanzi, which was no less than Lord Wanshouyuan's and, due to the nature of his Earth Origin, felt even heavier and deeper. He was both startled and delighted.

He praised sincerely, "Congratulations, Daoist friend, on your great advancement in the Way, breaking through the fog, and attaining the Great Luo Dao Fruit! Truly a cause for celebration!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue also quickly bowed again, their voices trembling with excitement: "Congratulations, Master (main body), on attaining the Great Luo!"

Lord Wanshouyuan smiled, but his expression immediately turned extremely solemn.

His gaze swept over Red Cloud and the two Daoist children, and he said solemnly, "The greatest gain this time is not the breakthrough in cultivation."

He reached out his hand, and a flash of green light appeared in his palm. The jade bottle, refined from the most essential branch of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, materialized.

The bottle appeared simple and unadorned, but the moment it appeared, it naturally emitted a trace of supreme aura that made even a Xiantian God-Demon like Red Cloud feel his true spirit tremble, compelling him to bow in worship.

Ancient, vast, supremely honored, as if facing the very origin of heaven and earth!

Even Zhenyuanzi's main body, which had just broken through to Great Luo and whose aura was still unstable, had its halo ripple violently again, conveying an uncontrollable longing and excitement.

"This is...?"

Red Cloud's brows were tightly furrowed, his expression extremely grave, staring intently at the jade bottle. He felt the aura resonate powerfully with the most ancient, most obscure, and most exalted imprints deep within his inherited memories.

He struggled to search the fragments of memory originating from his origin. Suddenly, his body jolted violently, an unbelievable, brilliant divine light bursting from his eyes. His voice turned hoarse and raspy from extreme shock and reverence:

"This... this aura... ancient, supreme, containing boundless creation... Could it be... the legendary supreme sacred object formed from the essence of Father God's spine, containing the original power of the world-opening—the Pangu Jade Marrow?!"

Lord Wanshouyuan was not surprised that Red Cloud recognized the object. All Xiantian Divine Beings had inherited memories, though their depth and detail varied. His expression was extremely grave as he nodded in confirmation: "Daoist friend has keen insight! It is indeed the Pangu Jade Marrow."

Hearing the definite answer, Red Cloud drew in a sharp breath. The shock on his face lingered for a long time before being replaced by a nearly devout awe.

He was the first red cloud of heaven and earth to attain the Dao, his foundation and fortune already among the deepest and highest in the Primordial World.

But the Pangu Jade Marrow, a treasure that existed only in the most ancient legends, a supreme miracle of the Primordial World capable of driving all Xiantian God-Demons mad, had actually appeared in the world and been obtained by his friend. The impact of this far exceeded anything he had ever seen or heard before.

He looked at Lord Wanshouyuan, then at Zhenyuanzi's main body, his eyes filled with immense shock and sincere, indescribable congratulations. Such an opportunity truly defied the heavens.

"This object is most compatible with the main body and is the key to establishing a supreme Dao foundation."

Lord Wanshouyuan said no more. His gaze turned to Zhenyuanzi's main body, and in the exchange of looks, all information was conveyed.

The Profound Yellow halo rippled violently, conveying an immensely expectant and resolute will. The earth veins of the entire Longevity Mountain hummed in response, as if welcoming a sacred transformation.

Lord Wanshouyuan's expression was solemn. He carefully aimed the bottle's mouth at Zhenyuanzi's main body and slowly pulled out the stopper sealed with the Essence of Yi Wood.

Instantly, an aura impossible to describe in words—vast, ancient, supremely honored, as if containing all the mysteries of the world's beginning—erupted and spread out like a primordial giant beast awakening from a slumber of ten thousand ages!

The Innate Spiritual Qi within the entire Wuzhuang Temple instantly boiled and raged!

He carefully tilted the bottle, and the three drops of green jade marrow within, heavy as ancient divine mountains, shimmering with endless Dao rhymes and starlight, with scenes of chaos opening within them.

Slowly, without a single drop lost, he poured them onto the very core of Zhenyuanzi's main body—that mass of Essence of Innate Earthen Energy!

"Buzz—!"

The moment the jade marrow touched the Earthen Essence, it was not a simple fusion and absorption. Instead, it was as if a world-opening, violent reaction had occurred!

Brilliant, life-filled green divine light and the vast, all-bearing Profound Yellow divine light erupted simultaneously, intertwining and illuminating each other.

They collided violently yet perfectly fused, casting the entire Wuzhuang Temple, and even the main peak of Longevity Mountain, in a radiant glow as bright as day!

Zhenyuanzi's main body emitted an unprecedented violent hum and tremor.

As if unable to immediately withstand the boundless, high-quality impact of the Origin Power, the surface of the halo rippled like monstrous waves, its light flickering unsteadily, even showing signs of dispersing and splitting!

"Earth veins, hear my command! Ten thousand mountains, lend your protection! Activate the formation!" Lord Wanshouyuan was prepared. A low shout carrying Great Luo Magical Power spread across Longevity Mountain, and his hands swiftly formed countless profound hand seals.

Rumble! The Earth Vein Dragon Qi of the entire Longevity Mountain Range was fully roused. The Innate Great Earth Formation guarding the dojo was instantly pushed to an unprecedented extreme!

Nine layers of thick earth barriers shot up from the ground, layer upon layer, forming a colossal, Profound Yellow chaotic light shield covering tens of thousands of li, like an inverted giant bowl, firmly enveloping and completely shielding the entire Longevity Mountain Dojo!

Around the formation's light shield, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water swirled, Innate Dao Patterns flowed, and its power was fully unleashed.

It completely isolated all internal and external auras, light and shadow, sounds, and even heavenly calculations! Even if a Golden Immortal of the Origin personally arrived, they would find it difficult to easily spy on any true situation within the formation!

"With such a grand event, how can this poor Daoist stand idly by! I will guard the Dharma!"

Seeing this, Red Cloud's expression also became extremely grave. Feeling the terrifying and precious power of the jade marrow, he did not hesitate.

He manifested his true form, the Ten Thousand Mile Red Cloud. The vast, brilliant red haze could not fully cover the entire Longevity Mountain within the great formation, but the auspicious, blazing cloud energy still spread within the formation's light shield, merging with the Earthen Essence Qi, further enhancing the protective effect and able to exorcise evil and avoid misfortune.

He focused completely, spreading his divine sense to its maximum range, vigilant against any possible accidental interference.

Qingfeng and Mingyue also knew that this concerned their master's very foundation and was of utmost importance. They nervously stood guard nearby, helping to stabilize the great formation and channel the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy.

At the heart of the formation, Zhenyuanzi's main body was undergoing an unprecedented, transformative, and violent metamorphosis.

The energy transformed from the Pangu Jade Marrow was far too vast and boundless, like billions of roaring Chaos Star Rivers, domineering yet carrying the gentleness of creation, madly surging into his Innate Earthen Origin.

His main body was torn apart, shattered, and reorganized time and again by the terrifying force, only to be reshaped, condensed, and elevated by the infinite life force and Creation Strength within the jade marrow...

This process was agonizing, like experiencing the destruction and new birth of the world-opening time and again, but it was also accompanied by an ultimate leap in life origin, foundation, and innate talent!

His Essence of Innate Earthen Energy, already a top-tier Xiantian Divine Being foundation, was now ascending to an inconceivable, nearly perfect realm—a power and solidity approaching the Great Dao Origin itself.

Its latent potential and foundation were enough to rival the innate roots of those weaker Chaos Demon Gods born within the chaos itself!

Cultivation knows no time; the Primordial World Does Not Record Years.

None could say how many epochs had passed within the formation, nor what the outside world looked like now.

The world-shaking phenomenon that had shrouded Longevity Mountain finally began to slowly subside and draw inward.

The Innate Great Earth Formation continued to operate diligently, sealing off inside from outside, but the divine light that had shot into the sky at its core and the violent energy fluctuations gradually calmed, becoming harmonious and integrated.

At last, all the light—whether the azure jade marrow radiance or the profound yellow essence of earthen energy—fully converged back into the mass of Essence of Innate Earthen Energy, as if returning to simplicity.

Now, its color had grown deeper and more simple and unadorned, taking on a chaotic, profound yellow hue.

Its volume seemed to have shrunk by nearly half, yet it was more solid and weighty.

The whole emitted a perfect, flawless, Primordial Chaos-like, thick and boundless Dao resonance. Quietly Suspended there, the aura it released had clearly reached—

Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal!

It seemed only a single step away from the elusive, eternal, undying Primordial Chaos Great Dao.

And its foundation and depth of roots far exceeded ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals, already carrying a trace of the ancient, fierce, and immortal aura of a Chaos Demon God.

Meanwhile, during the long years of guarding the formation, Red Cloud had day and night felt the pure, unmatched Pangu aura and supreme Dao rhythm emanating from the formation's core.

His own cultivation had risen with the tide, reaping great benefits, and he finally broke through the shackles of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. The Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown above his head, the Five Qi in the Chest aligned, and his majestic aura Soared into the Sky—though blocked by the formation.

But his Dao fruit was already achieved; he too had attained the Great Luo Dao fruit!

The Ten Thousand Mile Red Cloud's main body became more condensed and vast, with a thousand strands of auspicious energy and Myriad Rays of Rosy Clouds, extraordinarily divine.

Lord Wanshouyuan, as a clone of the same origin, cultivated in this environment and likewise benefited greatly.

His cultivation steadily advanced, fully solidifying his realm and taking it a step further, entering the mid-stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal. His aura grew deeper as the sea, unfathomable.

Even Qingfeng Mingyue, who had been standing by all along, diligently assisting in stabilizing the formation and guiding the spiritual energy, bathed day and night in the nourishment of such high-grade energy and Dao rhythms.

Their cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds. Immortal power surged within them, their Dao bodies pure, and both reached the peak of Golden Immortal. They only awaited a suitable opportunity to attempt breaking through to the Primordial Unity Dao fruit.

Lord Wanshouyuan and Red Cloud exchanged a smile, both seeing the joy, awe, and boundless anticipation for the future path in each other's eyes.

Zhenyuanzi's main body rippled slightly, transmitting a calm, satisfied, yet powerful will.

Absorption complete, foundation solidified—unprecedentedly deep.

Next came quiet comprehension and consolidation of the realm, waiting quietly for the moment when Success Will Come Naturally and the supreme opportunity to take form would arrive. When that day came and he emerged in form, it would surely shake heaven and earth, stunning the entire Primordial World!
