In the Primordial World, living beings are classified into five ranks based on their life level, from lowest to highest: Acquired Living Being, Innate Living Being, Innate True Spirit, Innate God-Devil, and Innate Divine Being.

Excluding the Acquired Living Beings, their corresponding potentials are Heavenly Immortal, Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and Quasi-Saint Realm.

In other words, as long as an Innate Living Being does not die, they have the hope of cultivating into a Heavenly Immortal. An Innate True Spirit has the hope of reaching the Primordial Unity stage, an Innate God-Devil the Zenith Heaven stage, and an Innate Divine Being the Quasi-Saint stage.

This is the Primordial World; the height a person can reach in the future is determined at birth.

Why is it said that cultivation is an act of defying the heavens? Because the essence of cultivation is to force oneself through constant transformation, thereby elevating one's life level and breaking through one's own destiny.

To act against the mandate of heaven and shatter the fate decreed by the Heavenly Dao—if that is not defying the heavens, then what is?

Initially, the Heavenly Immortal bloodline Jiang Yuan perceived was merely that of an Innate Living Being. Now, as the bloodline within his body further awakened, he sensed a stronger Innate True Spirit bloodline.

That was the bloodline originating from the first generation of the Human Race. As long as he awakened it, he could transform step by step into an Innate True Spirit, raising his potential to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal stage.

In front of the great figures, a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal is merely a minor character. Yet, looking across the entire Primordial World, they are as dazzling as the stars, powerful enough to dominate vast territories spanning billions of miles. Who would dare to truly underestimate them?

Therefore, for the vast majority of Primordial beings, being able to cultivate into a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal is already the greatest dream.

But for Jiang Yuan, this is still not enough—far from it. His goal is the immortal and indestructible Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Thus, his starting point must be high; ideally an Innate Divine Being bloodline, or at the very least, an awakened Innate God-Devil bloodline.

"Continue. Before the Kun Fish's origin is completely drained, this transformation must not stop!"

Sensing that the Kun Fish still held a spark of life, Jiang Yuan hurriedly used the Creation Jade Disk to further squeeze its origin, intending to use everything it possessed to pave his own path forward.

"ROAR!!!"

Amidst the desperate roar of the Kun Fish, the origin energy surging toward Jiang Yuan grew increasingly intense. Correspondingly, the bloodlines hidden deep within his body were further stimulated, and those strands of Innate God-Devil blood, imbued with the aura of the Great Dao, began to awaken one after another.

The first to awaken was the Innate God-Devil blood belonging to the Human Ancestor, Suiren. Immediately following it was the Azure Dragon blood originating from Suiren's wife, the Dragon Lady.

The Dragon Lady was the granddaughter of the Ancestral Dragon and the daughter of the Dragon Emperor, a natural-born Azure Dragon. The Azure Dragon is of the Dragon Race's royal lineage, with a status comparable to an Innate God-Devil.

As the thirty-sixth generation descendant of Suiren, Jiang Yuan was a direct descendant of both Suiren and the Dragon Lady, naturally possessing both the Human Ancestor and Azure Dragon bloodlines.

He had assumed the transformation would end there. However, he had not expected this Kun Fish to be so extraordinary; even after helping Jiang Yuan awaken two major Innate God-Devil bloodlines, it had not been drained dry and continued to play its part.

With a loud boom, two more God-Devil bloodlines awakened within Jiang Yuan's body: one shimmering with starlight, the other permeated with the energy of creation.

The Star Bloodline originated from the Three Lights Divine Water, while the Creation Bloodline originated from the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil.

Ten thousand years ago, Lady Nuwa took the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, fused it with her own essence blood and the Three Lights Divine Water, and created the Human Race.

Therefore, the Human Race is born with four major bloodlines. The strongest among them is the Innate Divine Being bloodline originating from Lady Nuwa.

The remaining three are all Innate God-Devil bloodlines: the Star Bloodline from the Three Lights Divine Water, the Creation Bloodline from the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil, and the Human Ancestor bloodline nurtured by the Human Race itself.

Now, all these Innate God-Devil bloodlines had awakened within Jiang Yuan. The price he paid was that the Kun Fish's essence was drained completely clean, leaving behind nothing but a dried-up husk.

"No, there is one more Innate God-Devil bloodline!"

Jiang Yuan looked inward and discovered an unfamiliar God-Devil bloodline within his body.

It was a massive Kun Fish, swimming through an infinite ocean. With every breath it took, the sun, moon, and stars trembled as if they were about to be sucked into its belly.

"Ancestral Kun, a powerful Fierce Beast comparable to an Innate Divine Being, formed from the flesh and blood of a Chaos Demon God. This Kun Fish was actually a descendant of the Ancestral Kun."

The moment his thoughts touched this bloodline, Jiang Yuan immediately understood its origin. It was not his natural bloodline, but one plundered from the Kun Fish.

This Kun Fish was a descendant of the Ancestral Kun and contained a trace of its bloodline, which Jiang Yuan had plundered via the Creation Jade Disk, making it his own.

"It is a pity that this Kun Fish's cultivation was too low. If it had been a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, the bloodline I plundered just now would not have been an Innate God-Devil bloodline, but the even stronger Innate Divine Being bloodline."

Returning to his senses, Jiang Yuan thought with a hint of regret. Of course, it was just a thought; if the Kun Fish had been a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, he would have been unable to escape death, even with the protection of the Creation Jade Disk.

A Half-Immortal and a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal are entirely different creatures; the gap between them is as vast as the distance between heaven and earth.

"Five great God-Devil bloodlines—which one should I awaken?"

Looking at the five bloodlines within him, Jiang Yuan hesitated. The bloodlines had awakened, but choosing which one to prioritize was a major problem.

Normally, a person can only awaken one God-Devil bloodline, because awakening several at once would cause them to conflict, directly blowing up the physical body.

If Jiang Yuan did not want to explode, he had to choose one out of the five and then turn the other four into nutrients to strengthen the one he had chosen.

"The Human Ancestor bloodline!"

This was not even a multiple-choice question. As a member of the Human Race, the Human Ancestor bloodline was the obvious first choice—not only was it powerful, but it also held great potential for growth.

One must know that if the Human Ancestor bloodline were to awaken further, it could transform into the Empress Wa bloodline. This was not only an Innate Divine Being bloodline but also the bloodline of a Saint.

Having made his choice, Jiang Yuan no longer hesitated. He focused his mind on the Human Ancestor bloodline, causing it to fully awaken and replace the blood throughout his entire body.

As the Human Ancestor bloodline awakened, the innate inheritance contained within it flooded into Jiang Yuan's mind.

Innate Supreme Yin Dao Scripture

Innate Supreme Yang Dao Scripture

Innate Yin-Yang Creation Scripture

!

There were three Dao scriptures in total, all originating from Lady Nuwa. Among them, the Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang Dao scriptures were the innate inheritances of Empress Wa and Emperor Xi, which could only be cultivated up to the Zenith Heaven realm.

The final scripture, the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture, was created by Lady Nuwa after she finished listening to the Dao Ancestor's sermons, combining it with her own learnings. It was a rare path to enlightenment in the Primordial World, leading all the way to the Hunyuan Realm.

Without a doubt, the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture was the strongest. However, the problem was that Lady Nuwa had attained sainthood through Merit, not through this scripture.

In other words, the final portion of this scripture regarding the attainment of sainthood was only theoretically feasible; whether it was actually possible remained unproven in practice.

"The Yin-Yang Creation Scripture aims for creation, not yin and yang. Yin and yang give birth to all living things, which is the ultimate end of creation. Therefore, those in the world who cultivate creation all begin with yin and yang."

"Only I am different. I go against the grain, forsaking yin and yang to begin with all living things. By comprehending the origin of all living things and gaining insight into the wonders of creation, I reverse-engineer the true essence of yin and yang to attain an indestructible body that survives ten thousand kalpas."

After reading the description of the Yin-Yang Creation Scripture, Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought. He did not know if cultivating this scripture could lead to sainthood, but it could certainly grant one an indestructible body that survives ten thousand kalpas.

Once one is indestructible through ten thousand kalpas, what difference is there really from being a saint?
