A Narrow Road for Enemies, Battle Ran Deng

In the Primordial World, body-refining cultivators were like this. At the same realm, their ability to preserve their lives was formidable, and they were practically invincible.

What was more, he cultivated the Primordial World's supreme body-refining technique, the Nine Revolutions Profound Art. Though he had only just broken through to the Early Fourth Revolution of the Profound Art,

with his physical body alone, Zhao Gongming was already confident he could battle a Mid-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, or even a Late-Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

"Now that my physical body has transformed, it's time to make a breakthrough in my Primordial Spirit cultivation!"

Zhao Gongming muttered to himself. The Saint's lecture would begin in a hundred years, leaving him ample time to cultivate.

With a thought, he arrived in the Second Heavens World—the Spirit Realm. After relocating countless spiritual roots, spiritual materials, and even Innate Spirit Soil, the Spiritual Realm's core spiritual energy had become so dense that it was no weaker than a Grotto-Heaven Paradise. At its very center lay over a hundred mu of spiritual fields, arranged in perfect order and planted with an astonishing number of spiritual roots and materials. Foremost among them stood a Five-Needle Pine. As its needles rustled, it emitted Five-Colored Divine Light, its axe marks having completely faded away.

This Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Root had regained its vitality. The five pine cones it bore had fully ripened, radiating dense Five Elements Origin aura!

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother, did you find some top-grade Grotto-Heaven Paradise?"

"Big Brother, aren't the spiritual fields us sisters cleared amazing?"

As Zhao Gongming appeared, the Three Skies, who had been cultivating, revealed delighted expressions and hurriedly emerged.

Yun Xiao wore a white dress. Her face was peerlessly beautiful yet tranquil, her aura the gentlest, and her temperament the steadiest as well.

Bixiao was impatient by nature and wore a green dress. Her exquisite, youthful face was full of curiosity. Over a thousand Innate Spiritual Roots—her big brother was simply incredible!

Qiongxiao was even younger and appeared more childish. Pointing at the neatly arranged spiritual fields, she lifted her little face, looking as though she were saying, Praise me, praise me, praise me! Zhao Gongming couldn't help but laugh.

"I did find top-grade Grotto-Heaven Paradises, but not one—two!"

Zhao Gongming held up two fingers. Amid the Three Skies' exclamations and worshipful gazes, he felt utterly satisfied.

Only someone who was an elder brother could understand it—the sense of accomplishment beneath his younger sisters' admiring eyes was even more refreshing than breaking through to a Body-Refining Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

He walked beneath the Five-Needle Pine and casually plucked its five mature pine cones. Then his expression turned solemn as he looked at the Three Skies before him. "This is one of the ten top-grade spiritual roots, the Five-Needle Pine. All of you have already attained the Golden Immortal Realm in Primordial Spirit cultivation. As long as you consume a pine cone, you can perfect the Five Qi in your chests and, in one push, attain Taiyi Perfection!"

"However, on the road of cultivation, remember not to be arrogant or impatient. Primordial Unity Golden Immortal is merely a starting point!"

Under the nourishment of the Myriad Heavens World's World Origin, not only had Zhao Gongming broken through to the Perfected Golden Immortal Realm, his three younger sisters had likewise attained the Golden Immortal Realm.

Once they consumed the Five-Element Pine Cones, they would be able to attain Taiyi Perfection in one push.

Yet Zhao Gongming deeply understood the dangers of the Primordial World. Even figures as powerful as Quasi-Sage Red Cloud and Eastern King Lord had fallen amid the great calamity. Taiyi Perfection, or even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal—

during this era of the Lich Calamity, when Great Luo walked everywhere and Taiyi were less than dogs, was merely the starting point of cultivation.

"Your little sister will remember!"

"What? Just consuming it will let us break through to Primordial Unity Golden Immortal?"

"As long as I break through to Taiyi Perfection, I'll be able to unleash the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors' power! Whoever dares oppose Big Brother, I'll snip him in two!"

The Three Skies reacted differently. Yun Xiao looked solemn, while Bixiao was already staring eagerly at the Five-Element Pine Cones.

Qiongxiao even gestured with the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, which were larger than she was, wearing a fierce expression as if she would cut anyone who dared provoke her big brother in half.

Fine, it seemed Yun Xiao was the only one who had truly taken it to heart!

Zhao Gongming smiled bitterly inwardly, but said nothing more. Temperament was something one was born with; cultivators ought to follow the natural course.

Besides, his three younger sisters were merely a little impatient and hot-tempered!

If they truly caused any trouble outside, whoever had something to say could speak to his Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler first!

After giving them some instructions, Zhao Gongming held a pine cone and returned to Fangzhang Immortal Isle.

Sitting cross-legged, he wasted no time in swallowing and refining the mature Five-Element Pinecone within. At the same time, he circulated the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, absorbing the pure spiritual energy from Fangzhang Immortal Isle's core. As a method that cultivated both Dharma and body, the Primordial Spirit portion of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art was likewise a supreme cultivation method of the Primordial World. It was even more astonishing than top-tier techniques such as Taiqing's, Shangqing's, and the Jade Pure Immortal Art. The moment Zhao Gongming began cultivating, a spiritual energy vortex shaped like a funnel formed around him, enveloping an area of ten million li. At the bottom of that funnel sat Zhao Gongming. As immense Dharma power poured into his body and the Five Qi in his chest reached perfection, his Primordial Spirit cultivation broke through toward higher levels at an astonishing speed.

Perfected Golden Immortal Realm!

Early-Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

Mid-Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

Late-Stage Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

"Hah! Taiyi Perfection, achieved!"

On this day, Zhao Gongming slowly opened his eyes, Five-Colored Divine Light flickering within them. The Five Qi in his chest circulated, releasing black, red, yellow, white, and green divine light. They had clearly completely solidified. Above his head, an Auspicious Cloud spanning over a hundred mu slowly condensed, and atop it swayed three flower buds, poised to bloom.

With the Five Qi perfected and circulating endlessly, the Three Flowers would bloom, attaining the Primordial Spirit Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

At this moment, the Five Qi in his chest circulated endlessly. The terrifying spiritual energy of Fangzhang Immortal Isle had spared him the time needed to accumulate spiritual energy, allowing him to attain Taiyi Perfection in one push. The Dharma power within him now formed a self-sustaining cycle. Both its quality and quantity had undergone astonishing transformations compared to before. Whether he evolved divine abilities or activated spiritual treasures, the power of the Five Elements would greatly amplify their might.

Next, as long as he comprehended one law to perfection and elevated it into the Great Dao, he could bloom the Three Flowers in one push and attain the Primordial Spirit Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!

"Time to leave!"

Zhao Gongming slowly rose to his feet. The Saint's lecture was imminent, so there was no time to attain the Primordial Spirit Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

Besides, as a Body-Refining Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, he already possessed strength not inferior to a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. He could make his next breakthrough after the Saint's lecture ended!

With that thought, he stepped forward, intending to relocate the Yellow-Center Plum before him. Yet at that moment, he made a delightful discovery—the black spirit soil beneath the Yellow-Center Plum was actually the legendary Nine Heavens Breath Soil.

Breath Soil was hailed as the ancestor of earth in the Primordial World. A single grain could directly transform into a mountain range. When Yu the Great controlled the floods in later generations, he used this Nine Heavens Breath Soil to form great mountains and divert the floodwaters.

A fist-sized chunk of Nine Heavens Breath Soil was already worth an astonishing amount.

Yet beneath the Yellow-Center Plum lay Nine Heavens Breath Soil spanning dozens of zhang. Without exaggeration, its value was no less than that of a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!

"With this Nine Heavens Breath Soil, I can create Breath Soil spiritual fields to cultivate high-grade Innate Spiritual Roots and speed up their growth and maturation!"

Zhao Gongming murmured. Innate Spiritual Roots were immensely valuable, but their growth cycles were still far too long.

Take the Yellow-Center Plum. It blossomed for thirty kalpas, bore fruit for thirty kalpas, and ripened for thirty kalpas. A full ninety kalpas—nearly ten million years—were needed before it matured.

Other spiritual roots and materials, such as the Five-Needle Pine, likewise had growth cycles measured in millions of years.

Though time was worthless in the Primordial World, ten million years was still far too long.

After all, the further he advanced in body cultivation, the more astonishing the resources he would consume. Even for Body-Refining Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, a Saint would have to bleed heavily to provide the resources.

A Body-Refining Quasi-Sage might even drain an entire Saint's fortune dry.

But with this Nine Heavens Breath Soil, the maturation time of spiritual roots and materials could be drastically shortened, bringing immense benefits to his body cultivation.

Thinking this, Zhao Gongming did not hesitate. He carefully relocated the Yellow-Center Plum and the dozens of zhang of Nine Heavens Breath Soil beneath it into the Second Heavens World. After refining the Fangzhang Immortal Isle boundary stele and completely taking control of this top-grade Grotto-Heaven Paradise, he no longer lingered. With a flash, he stepped out of Fangzhang Immortal Isle and reappeared above the Eastern Sea of the Primordial World.

"Hm? He's out?"

Ran Deng, who had been concealing his aura, watched Zhao Gongming suddenly appear. His spirits jolted, and his expression turned tense!

But when he sensed Zhao Gongming's aura, he froze. Then an incredulous, ecstatic expression appeared on his face.

"A Primordial Unity Golden Immortal? He's actually only a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!"
