Reborn in the Primordial World, Banana Tree

In a deep valley halfway up Mount Buzhou in the Primordial World, a tall banana tree grew. The banana tree stood over a thousand feet tall and bore four leaves of different colors.

This banana tree was none of other than the Four Symbols Banana Tree. Although it did not rank among the top ten spiritual roots, it was nonetheless a rare Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Root.

As the banana tree gently shook its leaves, a wisp of consciousness within it slowly awakened, receiving various heritages of knowledge all at once.

Although it sounds a bit absurd, since I've arrived, I might as well make the best of it! From now on, I am this Four Symbols Banana Tree, and my name is Dao Xuan.

The consciousness inside the banana tree was clearly a transmigrator. However, this matter was probably known only to the Great Dao, while in the perception of the Heavenly Dao, he was simply the consciousness born from this banana tree, named Dao Xuan.

After waking up, Dao Xuan also began to analyze his current situation.

According to the heritage knowledge, it is already after the Dragon-Han Calamity, and the Dao-Devil War has presumably ended. So next will be Hongjun attaining sainthood, the lectures at Zixiao Palace, and then the Witch-Beast Calamity?

Dao Xuan's heart instantly sank.

The best era had clearly passed. Since the Dragon-Han Calamity, the Great Dao had officially retreated into seclusion, and the Heavenly Dao had taken over the Primordial World—not to mention that Hongjun was about to attain sainthood.

After three rounds of lectures, Hongjun would complete Dao Integration, but even more fatally, the six saints would all emerge. Rather than calling the next phase the Witch-Beast Calamity,

it was better to call it the era of the saints!

Without becoming a saint, one was merely an ant! The Primordial World was a naked world where the strong ruled. If one could not become a saint, or become a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal comparable to a saint, then no matter how great one's strength, one could only become a pawn for others and cannon fodder in the calamity.

One's life and death were not one's own.

For instance, during the Investiture Calamity, wasn't Kong Xuan, whose Five-Colored Divine Light was invincible, still subdued by Zhunti and turned into a mount?

That was truly a humiliation.

To speak of something closer rather than distant, at the very end of the Witch-Beast Calamity, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, universally recognized as the strongest beneath the saints, ultimately could not escape the fate of being reduced to flying ash.

The more Dao Xuan thought about it, the more pressure he felt.

Yet all things begin with the very first step.

For Dao Xuan, that first step was to take human form. Of course, transforming into a human form held practically no difficulty for him.

It was often said that innate spiritual roots struggled to take human form, but what was truly difficult was not the transformation itself, but rather the spiritual root evolving from nothingness to give birth to its own sentience.

And this, Dao Xuan had already achieved.

The banana tree was him, and he was the banana tree.

If he wanted to take human form, he could do so.

In fact, Dao Xuan acted as soon as the thought arose. With a flick of his mind, he began to control the banana tree, drawing in spiritual qi from all directions to converge upon himself.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The vast spiritual qi gathered together, forming a massive whirlpool that continuously poured backward into the banana tree at the center.

Finally, at a certain moment, accompanied by a booming sound amidst brilliant multicolored rays of light, the banana tree successfully transformed.

Dao Xuan stood tall and straight, a set of blue Daoist robes fluttering in the wind, his long black hair unfastened and falling casually over his shoulders. His facial features were stern, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, and four-colored radiance lingered around his body. Though it looked gentle, it carried an inherent ancient and boundless fortune, as if it had existed since the very beginning of the opening of the heavens.

Early Great Principle Golden Immortal.

Sensing his own strength, Dao Xuan was very satisfied. He attained the Great Principle realm right upon birth, complemented by the mastery of the Four Symbols Laws innate to him.

For someone born from a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Root like him, this could also be considered standard configuration. Looking across the Primordial World, there were not many whose foundations surpassed his.

Moreover, aside from this, Dao Xuan also possessed a companion spiritual treasure. Calling it a companion spiritual treasure was not quite accurate; it should rather be called a Dao-sealing treasure.

This was a fan forged by Dao Xuan during his transformation using the four leaves that had grown on his main body, named the Four Symbols Treasure Fan!

As the name implied, this Four Symbols Treasure Fan was a treasure containing the fundamental origins of the four laws of Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, and it was a Supreme-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

This was far more powerful than how the original banana tree's four leaves were carved up and divided by others.

After all, when four were combined into one, how could it not be strong?

Without a doubt, this Four Symbols Treasure Fan became the most suitable treasure for Dao Xuan throughout the entire Primordial World, aligning perfectly with his own Dao.

Naturally, it became Dao Xuan's Dao-sealing treasure.

Much like Zhunti's Seven-Treasure Wondrous Tree! It was also forged by Zhunti during his transformation from a branch of his own Bodhi Tree, and it served as Zhunti's Dao-sealing treasure.

Yet at this moment, Dao Xuan harbored a distress, which was that he was born right inside Mount Buzhou. Furthermore, Dao Xuan knew very well that Mount Buzhou was no place for long-term residence.

Putting aside the fact that this mountain would collapse in the future, even shortly hereafter, once the Twelve Ancestral Witches emerged from the depths of the earth, this place would no longer be tranquil.

Very well, since that is the case, I shall just leave.

Dao Xuan did not dwell on it, for there was nothing here worth lingering over too much anyway. Before leaving Mount Buzhou, however, he still had to try his luck.

Who knows, he might even be able to obtain some good items in this Mount Buzhou.

Thus, in the time that followed, Dao Xuan strolled around inside Mount Buzhou. Perhaps due to the reason of being born within Mount Buzhou, the pressure of Mount Buzhou exerted no effect on Dao Xuan whatsoever.

He allowed himself to search everywhere freely across Mount Buzhou.

Yet no matter how Dao Xuan searched, it was as if there truly were no items destined to be connected to him in this mountain, and Dao Xuan consistently came away empty-handed.

In the end, Dao Xuan could only give up with a helpless sigh.

If there are no treasures, so be it; they are external objects after all! Dao Xuan comforted himself in his heart.

Then he strode towards the foot of Mount Buzhou.

And just as he walked to the foot of Mount Buzhou and was about to leave, suddenly, Dao Xuan felt a faint resonance.

This immediately made Dao Xuan overjoyed.

"Hahaha, I knew it, Great God Pangu still loves me!" Dao Xuan immediately followed that trace of resonance.

And after reaching the destination, Dao Xuan soon discovered an innate grand array that was in no way inferior to the place of his own birth.

"Break for me!"

Because he was outside the grand array, and the innate grand array was complete and without leaks, wanting to comprehend the grand array thoroughly just by sitting outside was simply impossible thing, so Dao Xuan naturally had no choice but to attack forcefully.

Along with a loud shout from Dao Xuan, he waved the Four Symbols Treasure Fan in his hand with force, and only saw a beam of cyan, red, yellow, and black four-colored light emitted from the treasure fan.

It slammed straight into that innate grand array.

Rumble! The innate grand array trembled violently, but this innate grand array seemed extremely extraordinary, the light barrier constantly swaying, and even appearing with cracks one after another, yet it still managed to maintain without breaking, the cracks also constantly repairing themselves, deadlocked with the beam of light emitted by the Four Symbols Treasure Fan.

Seeing this, Dao Xuan also did not hesitate to fan it three more times in succession!

And finally, under this total of four strikes, that innate grand array finally could not withstand it, bursting and collapsing apart with a loud rumble.

Dao Xuan immediately flashed inside.
