Deep within his true spirit.

The Three Thousand Great Dao runes originating from the Eternal Life Great World, amidst their violent collision with the Primordial Origin Laws of the Primordial World.

Were not destroyed. Instead, they were re-forged by an invisible hand, refined of dross, evolving toward a form more suited to this realm.

In this collision, Guiyuan also gained his own understanding of the differences between the Three Thousand Great Daos of the two worlds.

The Three Thousand Great Daos of the Eternal Life Great World, save for the Great Destiny Technique, were all revealed to the world, allowing living beings to comprehend them.

The Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World, however, were hidden existences in the obscure. Aside from the Innate Sacreds of the Primordial World, other living beings could only first pass through the Laws.

Then comprehend the Dao.

"In that case, the Eternal Life World produces experts faster than the Primordial World, but the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World are different from those of the Eternal Life World."

"Although the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Eternal Life World are revealed, they are restrained by the Great Destiny Technique. It's somewhat like comprehending the Great Destiny Technique through the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World."

"Then using the Great Destiny Technique to evolve the Three Thousand Great Daos, branding them."

"Meanwhile, the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Primordial World are still raw material. Thus, they are more capable of deducing one's own Dao."

"Unlike Hongmeng Daoist, Creation Immortal King, and the others, who can only forever lag behind the Sect Master!"

Many thoughts flashed through Guiyuan's mind.

Each had its strengths and weaknesses, but for someone like Guiyuan who sought transcendence, the Primordial World was naturally better.

Fuxi and Nüwa saw him rise, his aura perfectly harmonious, clearly having gained greatly.

A trace of understanding flickered in their eyes, but they tacitly refrained from asking. Opportunity and enlightenment were the most private matters for a cultivator. Even for Fuxi and Nüwa, who shared the same origin, this held true.

One must not pry lightly.

As they continued forward.

Aside from occasionally exchanging a few words on their insights into the Laws of Yin and Yang, Creation, and the like, most of their time was spent immersed in their own tempering.

Guiyuan was especially focused.

Pangu split Heaven and Earth, his body transforming into the myriad things. His inheritance fragments were actually scattered throughout Heaven and Earth, accessible to all living beings, only differing in quantity and depth.

For example, he originally possessed a portion of Pangu's inheritance regarding the Defense Dao, the Defense Laws derived from it, and even the defensive divine abilities deduced from those.

But this Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art was complete.

Moreover, it was not a fixed, rigid cultivation step. It was more like a "path" pointing directly to the Dao, a "concept" for tempering oneself.

"Using this Dao to condense one's own essence flower can transcend the shackles of all Daos... Oneself becomes a complete world, able to mobilize the Three Thousand Laws, and even within the chaotic void, one can take oneself as the Dao, seeking nothing externally..."

He murmured to himself, analyzing its profound mysteries.

If this concept were told to other living beings of the Primordial World, they would likely find it hard to understand.

Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who claimed to be Pangu's orthodox lineage, Guiyuan speculated that they might also possess the inheritance of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art.

But they most likely chose a few Laws that aligned with their own bloodline for tempering, rather than pursuing the integration of all Three Thousand Laws into one body.

But he, Guiyuan, was different.

In the Eternal Life Great World, he had personally witnessed how the Primordial Heavenly Dao encompassed all methods.

He had seen how the Genesis of Gods opened epochs.

He had seen Creation Immortal King wield Creation.

He had even witnessed how Fang Han absorbed all rivers into the sea, ultimately condensing the unique "Era Dao."

Regarding this path of "bearing all Daos within oneself."

He already possessed a profound understanding and knowledge, without needing the long periods of groping and trial-and-error required by native Primordial World beings.

In just a moment, using the "Dao" of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art as a foundation, combined with his own Origin Foundation traits and his insights from the Eternal Life World.

Guiyuan grasped the essence. A unique body-tempering method, a prototype belonging solely to him, had already taken shape within his mind.

[Three Thousand Guiyuan]

This method cultivated nothing else, only the self.

It drew the power of the Three Thousand Laws to temper the physical body. For each Law successfully imprinted into the flesh, no divine soul activation was needed.

With every move, one could directly drive the might of that Law with their physical body alone.

A moment later.

The Defense Laws were already flickering around Guiyuan's body. Since he had innately comprehended this Law, he naturally could not activate it again.

"Using the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Eternal Life Great World as a primer, integrating them into myself also allows me to more quickly draw upon the Three Thousand Laws to temper my body."

Guiyuan's mind stirred. Within his true spirit, the Dao runes, including those of the Great Destiny Technique, all vibrated in unison.

Because the previous tempering had already allowed Guiyuan to align his comprehension of the Three Thousand Great Daos from the Eternal Life Great World with the Primordial World.

The next moment.

Guiyuan felt his physical body resonate with the Three Thousand Laws of the Primordial World.

The Three Thousand Laws, which had weakened slightly before, once again condensed into Law Divine Chains that continuously coiled around Guiyuan's physical body.

But compared to before, these Law Divine Chains were no longer a force opposing Guiyuan—they were now a tool to temper his body.

Within the Heavenly Sha Pagoda, Essence Qi Pills piled up like mountains were constantly being consumed, simultaneously strengthening Guiyuan's blood and qi.

Fortunately, he had collected a vast number of Ferocious Beast corpses on the Northern Continent earlier; otherwise, it would have been difficult to continue.

"The defensive law has reached perfection. Next, it's best to start with the Five Elements and first imprint the Five Elements laws into my body..."

Guiyuan calculated in his mind. With this [Three Thousand Guiyuan] method of imprinting laws, the further he went, the harder it became because he had to balance the Three Thousand Laws within his body.

So it was best to imprint some of the more difficult or practical laws early on.

If he wanted to meddle in the calamity of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Three Clans, it was naturally best to start with the Five Elements.

He pondered.

Fuxi and Nüwa's minds stirred. They exchanged a glance and said, "Daoist Guiyuan, we have suddenly felt a premonition, as if there is an opportunity nearby."

"Then shall we go together?"

Guiyuan said with a smile.

"Of course."

Fuxi nodded. After all, Guiyuan had helped them a great deal, so there was no reason to leave him behind.

Fuxi and Nüwa led the way, with Guiyuan following behind. He was curious—could Mount Buzhou really hold other opportunities?

The Creation Green Lotus was out of his reach; that would likely require Pangu's true lineage to obtain. Many treasures were not determined by fate.

Rather, they were bound by cause and effect. Without the right karmic connection, even if a treasure lay before you, you would not perceive it—especially when it came to things related to the primordial.

The opportunity Fuxi and Nüwa sensed was not far away, yet it was still a valley.

"It's right here." Fuxi's gaze held a hint of curiosity.

The main reason was that this valley was unlike the one where they had encountered the Heaven, Earth, and Human Pearls, which had been guarded by an Innate Great Array.

It looked utterly ordinary, but Guiyuan narrowed his eyes.

"Shrink Mount Sumeru to a mustard seed, swallow the sun and moon into a pot..." Guiyuan unconsciously murmured.

After saying this, his mind jolted. He had no intention of speaking those words—why had they suddenly come out of his mouth?

"I was wondering how my two future disciples, who have yet to comprehend the mysteries of Heaven and Earth, Qiankun, Yin and Yang, and Creation, could have a karmic connection leading them here. So there is a variable at play."

The three of them heard only this one sentence, and before their eyes, the scene suddenly shifted.

The valley before them transformed in an instant, becoming a cave heaven blessed land. This place was vast beyond measure, like an independent world, with roars of life and a complete Dao.

At the center of this world, a Daoist sat cross-legged in the void, his aura seamlessly fused with the surrounding heavens and earth.

"Poverty-stricken Daoist Qiankun greets the three of you."
