Primordial Unity Golden Immortal

Clouds were formless and shapeless, changing in ten thousand ways. Perhaps that was why Red Cloud's origins were so mixed and impure.

The more mixed a person's origins were, the greater the impact on their future. This was something Red Cloud could not allow.

Although dividing his origins would lower his cultivation upon birth, it would also make the foundation of his Dao cultivation more stable.

In Red Cloud's view, clouds had no form or shape. To achieve the Dao through clouds was to have no foundation, illusory and ethereal.

But with Red Cloud's current cultivation, separating those origins was basically impossible.

Suddenly, Red Cloud's eyes lit up as he thought of the Heaven-Measuring Ruler of Primordial Chaos. He could use its power to divide those origins.

Holding the Heaven-Measuring Ruler of Primordial Chaos, Red Cloud slashed at the chaotic, disorderly origins.

A mass of fire origin was separated by him.

Next, Red Cloud continuously divided the origins: Pangu Heartblood Origin, wind origin, and so on.

After an unknown length of time, Red Cloud completed the division, leaving behind four masses of origin.

The purest among them was Pangu Heartblood Origin. Those miscellaneous origins had been assigned to the water, fire, and wind origins, which Red Cloud intended to nurture into incarnations.

This was only possible with the aid of the Heaven-Measuring Ruler of Primordial Chaos. Otherwise, Red Cloud could not have accomplished such meticulous division.

The Heaven-Measuring Ruler of Primordial Chaos could divide measures and gauge Heaven and Earth, making it perfectly suited for such delicate work.

Next, Red Cloud began deducing the divine ability of the External Body Incarnation. With the Illustrated Record of Literary Fortune, he swiftly completed the deduction.

Incarnations were an advanced form of clones. Compared to clones, incarnations possessed far greater independence.

After creating the External Body Incarnation, Red Cloud began splitting his Primordial Spirit, and an intense pain struck him.

Splitting his Primordial Spirit nearly caused it to collapse. If not for the Heaven-Measuring Ruler of Primordial Chaos suppressing the origin of his Primordial Spirit, Red Cloud feared he would have been reduced to ashes.

Looking at the Primordial Spirit origin in his hand, Red Cloud could not help but smile bitterly. This truly was not work meant for a man.

Just thinking about how Minghe possessed four hundred and eighty million Blood God Avatars—how many times would he have had to split his Primordial Spirit?

Red Cloud shook his head and continued, dividing his Primordial Spirit into three before sending them into the origins dominated by water, fire, and wind.

Red Cloud intended to nurture three origin-level incarnations, each centered on one of the water, fire, and wind origins among the Four Symbols. When the time came, he would no longer be a lone man without allies.

When seats were contested at Purple Cloud Palace, Kunpeng had been knocked from his seat and even berated by Yuanshi as a damp-born, egg-laying beast. Was it not because he had stood alone, with no one to support him?

With a thought, Red Cloud drew out a strand of origin transformed from Pangu Heart Blood. He prepared to forge a body and use it to refine Pangu Heartblood Origin.

In an instant, Red Cloud released Primordial Spirit True Fire to fuse and refine Pangu Heartblood Origin, striking one forbidden incantation after another into it.

Boundless divine light surged from the origin, and a faint fragrance coiled through the air. A single breath of it could strengthen the body and fortify the bones.

The Dao body Red Cloud forged imitated Pangu's Primordial Dao Body. Within the Primordial World, only a Primordial Dao Body was suited to cultivating all manner of Great Dao laws.

In this life, Red Cloud decided not to cultivate the Cloud Dao, but the Literary Dao. Literature carried the Dao; cultivating with a Primordial Dao Body would make it easier for him to complete the evolution and transformation of the Dao.

The Primordial Dao Body bore yin and embraced yang, with yin and yang united as one. Red Cloud drew out a thread of Heart Blood origin and transformed it into yin and yang, ultimately evolving it into the Ren and Du Meridians of the Primordial Dao Body.

Next, Red Cloud drew out another three strands of origin and transformed them into the three great dantians of the Primordial Dao Body.

The dantians were the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Talents of the Primordial Dao Body, as well as the gathering places of a person's essence, qi, and spirit.

Afterward, Red Cloud successively completed the limbs, five viscera and six bowels, eight extraordinary meridians, twelve regular meridians, twenty-four spinal segments, three hundred and sixty-five primary acupoints, one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred meridians of varying sizes, and divine apertures.

The Primordial Dao Body corresponded to an entire universe.

Such a Primordial Dao Body was the most compatible with all things in Heaven and Earth within the Primordial World. No matter the environment, such a Dao body was suited for survival and evolution.

"Primordial Dao Body, fuse for me!"

Having constructed the framework of the Primordial Dao Body, Red Cloud began filling it with Pangu Heartblood Origin piece by piece.

Boundless divine light burst forth in dazzling brilliance as countless divine inscriptions and forbidden incantations entered the gradually forming Dao body.

At last, Red Cloud's Primordial Spirit directly entered the Dao body. Then a young man, seven feet tall and dressed in a crimson Daoist robe embroidered with golden patterns, appeared.

Red Cloud moved this new body, finding not the slightest discomfort. Joy immediately appeared on his face.

Afterward, Red Cloud began cultivating.

This was the final stage of the Dragon-Han Calamity. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Tribes could enter their decisive battle at any moment, and Red Cloud wished to emerge as soon as possible to seize as much initiative from the calamity as he could.

Next, Red Cloud sat cross-legged within Pangu Heartblood Origin, cultivating while refining the origin.

Before long, Red Cloud cultivated to the peak of the Human Immortal realm.

Red Cloud did not rush to break through to the Earth Immortal realm. Instead, he continuously tempered his essence, qi, and spirit. Thus, several tens of thousands of years passed.

At a certain moment, Red Cloud's body suddenly turned illusory and translucent, as though a sea of stars had appeared around him.

Rays of light, some bright and some dim, suddenly flashed into existence.

This was the legendary True Spirit Sea. Every ray of light within the True Spirit Sea was, in truth, a true spirit.

Once a cultivator died and their Dao vanished, their soul and spirit utterly extinguished, their true spirit would return to the True Spirit Sea. Only after endless years, when soul and spirit gathered anew, would it enter Reincarnation and return through a new calamity.

With a thought from Red Cloud, boundless divine light immediately erupted around him. The divine light seemed to pierce through immeasurable space, shining directly into the True Spirit Sea and stirring up towering waves.

In the next instant, a ray of light flew from the boundless True Spirit Sea, following the divine light across immeasurable space.

The true spirit entered Red Cloud's body, and a vast, majestic aura erupted from him with a thunderous roar.

A trace of delight rose in Red Cloud's eyes. His cultivation naturally broke through into the Earth Immortal realm.

Next, Red Cloud continued cultivating.

Several tens of thousands of years passed, and Red Cloud cultivated once more to the peak of the Earth Immortal realm, continuing to temper his essence, qi, and spirit.

Red Cloud was in no hurry to break through. Every breakthrough had to come as naturally as water flowing into a channel, and his foundation had to be firmly laid.

Thus, he cultivated step by step.

Red Cloud's cultivation realm broke through from Earth Immortal to Heavenly Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.

"Hahaha! Contemplating Heaven and Earth, cultivating my true self—I have finally broken through to the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm."

There was an unconcealed sense of exhilaration in Red Cloud's voice.

Once Immortal Dao cultivation reached the Mysterious Immortal realm, one began to come into contact with laws. Comprehending a trace of a law allowed one to break through to Golden Immortal.

By continuously comprehending the laws of Heaven and Earth, Golden Immortals could break through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and Primordial Golden Immortal.

Fully mastering a single law allowed one to break through into the realm of Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, a cultivation comparable to that of a Heavenly Dao Sage.

It sounded easy, but doing it was difficult.

Cultivating laws and comprehending the Great Dao was a slow grinding effort, like water wearing through stone. Using laws to prove the Dao was far too difficult.

The laws of the Primordial World were constantly evolving. This meant that if the speed at which one comprehended the Dao could not keep up with the evolution of Heaven and Earth, one would never master a law, nor could one prove the Dao and become a Primordial Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

The path of laws evolved by the Heavenly Dao could ultimately serve only as a reference, not as one's pursuit.

For this reason, there was another saying in the Primordial World: one must walk one's own path of the Great Dao.

Such Great Daos forged after the opening of Heaven and Earth were Acquired Great Daos. It was said that Luohou and Hong Jun, Chaos Demon Gods who had undergone reincarnation, had each forged their own Demon Dao and Immortal Dao.

The cultivation method bestowed upon Red Cloud by the Heavenly Dao Inheritance was an Immortal Dao method. Perhaps it was bound by countless threads to Hong Jun, the Dao Ancestor. Red Cloud remembered that Hong Jun possessed the Jade Disc of Creation, a Heavenly Dao sacred artifact.

With the Jade Disc of Creation, that Heavenly Dao sacred artifact, Hong Jun had more than enough ability to imprint his "Immortal Dao" into the Heavenly Dao.
