Primordial Spirit! "Universe" Finally Unlocked

Mo Sun was about to say something, but Ji An had already lost all patience.

With a slight thought, his Divine Consciousness enveloped the entire area.

Ji An's power to create his own world is now many times stronger than when he first broke through.

Even many Primordial Spirit Daoist may not be able to comprehend a complete Dao in their entire lives, let alone three! Facing the Golden-Eyed Tiger King, whose strongest was only at the mid -Primordial Spirit, and the Mo Sun, Primordial Spirit Early Stage, Ji An did not want to say much.

"Destroy!"

In the Thunderfire World, the previously relatively calm purple lightning serpents and crimson heavenly fire instantly became violent.

If the Thunderfire World that appeared earlier was merely using primal power to kill the Myriad Phenomena Demon King and the lesser demons of the Violet Palace...

Under Ji An's influence, the Thunderfire World instantly became extremely violent.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Endless Thunderfire and fire instantly engulfed the Golden-Eyed Tiger King and the Dark Fiend Guards!

Just a breath!

The raging Thunderfire World came quickly and went just as fast.

When the entire Thunderfire World receded, revealing the Withered Bone Mountain once more, not a single living being of Xiantian or higher could be found on the entire battlefield.

Silence!

On the Withered Bone Mountain, the original banquet of the Demon Kings was long gone. All the Demon Kings and Dark Fiend Guards on it were dead. Only the corpses of the Primordial Spirit Demon Kings and their treasures were suspended in mid-air under the control of Ji An Divine Consciousness.

Throughout the entire mountain range, the Xiantian demons who had been eagerly anticipating the great kings' display of divine power were now all frozen in place.

They simply stared blankly at the floating relics belonging to their king, their minds completely empty.

They even forgot to run away.

At this moment, the figure standing in mid-air, dressed in silver and gold robes, was the true demon in their eyes.

Ji An's divine light swept indifferently over the weak Demon Race below; they were nothing but ants, not worth his divine power.

With a thought, all the spoils of war floating in the air, including the corpses of the Demon Kings, instantly transformed into Flowing Light and flew into his Mustard Stone.

Call--

Having slain so many powerful figures, especially four at the Primordial Spirit level, dozens of Myriad Wanxiang Adept, and a large number of the Violet Palace Lesser Demons, the accumulated overwhelming killing intent, baleful aura, and malevolent energy were so immense that they almost solidified into a tangible form.

Like a crimson tide, it converged on Ji An.

The Universe Sword in his hand trembled violently, as if it were cheering and jumping for joy.

The almost endless crimson tide converged towards it under its pull, and was then absorbed by the Universe Sword.

Soon, everything calmed down.

Ji An looked at the Universe Sword that had absorbed the crimson tide and nodded.

"After four years of relentless slaughter of Demon Race, this Universe Sword is probably comparable to some top- Heaven Rank magic weapons."

As mentioned before, the Blood Refining Divine Weapon divine weapons, and the more you kill, the more they improve.

In the past four years, including today's incident, Ji An has killed as many as six Nascent Primordial Spirit Demon Kings Demon Race, and at least four hundred, if not five hundred, Myriad Phenomena of the Myriad Manifestations realm, not to mention the lesser demons of the Violet Palace.

Given that the Universe Sword already had a strong foundation, it naturally became increasingly powerful.

"It's time to go back. In these four years, I've had enough Light Essence Liquid to break through to the Primordial Spirit level directly. With this mission, I've finally accumulated enough merit points to exchange for the Golden Origin Scripture."

Thinking this, Ji An's azure wings trembled slightly, transforming into a streak of azure Flowing Light that disappeared into the distance.

Target: Prison Mountain Great Marsh Yinglong Guard Teleportation Array.

In the past four years, Ji An has already traversed a large portion of the Prison Mountain Great Marsh.

After each hunt, the return journey was via the Yinglong Guard's teleportation array.

I'm now so much more familiar with the route than when I first came here.

With the speed of "Windsun Heaven-Escaping Wings", the Yinglong Guard's garrison was in sight in no time.

The light faded, Ji An's figure landed steadily on the flat ground of the Yinglong Guard's garrison.

The murderous aura that had not yet completely subsided spread as he landed.

"Hmm?" The fat old man in charge of guarding the teleportation array was dozing off when he sensed the killing intent and opened his eyes with a start.

The thin old man slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze sweeping over Ji An without saying anything, seemingly already used to it.

"Yo! Ji An, you're back again?" The fat old man greeted him with a smile. "Goodness, you've killed quite a few this time. That killing intent can be felt from hundreds of miles away. Judging by this, you've had a good haul this time, haven't you?"

Ji An nodded slightly, his tone calm. "Yes, the Withered Bone Mountain has been dealt with."

"The Withered Bone Mountain?!" A look of horror flashed in the eyes of the fat and thin old men. "The Withered Bone Mountain where the Golden-Eyed Tiger King, the Howling Moon Wolf King, and the Iron-Armored Bull King reside? Three Primordial Spirit Demon Kings, and sixty-nine ferocious Demon Kings at the Myriad Phenomena Perfection Realm? You—you—you—"

The portly old man didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already clear.

"It's been cleaned up." Ji An nodded.

The two elderly men, one fat and one thin, exchanged a glance and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

They knew about the Withered Bone Mountain, after all, it was an alliance composed of three Primordial Spirit Demon Kings and sixty-nine Myriad Phenomena Perfection Demon Kings, and there were many more at the Myriad Phenomena level.

Even among second-tier Yinglong Guards, only a very few can achieve this level of strength on their own.

This guy in front of me actually leveled the entire mountain all by himself?

"It seems you've reached the twelfth level of the Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram," the thin old man said.

Ji An nodded, without saying anything more.

"Good, good, good! But I must say, Ji An," the fat old man's smile widened, "At sixteen years old, you've already cultivated the 'Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram' to this level. In my opinion, you should join my Yinglong Guard Inner Guard. With your talent, even the Heavenly Immortals in my Yinglong Guard will take you as their disciple."

The thin old man nodded slightly. "Good."

"Forget it, I still prefer being free. I'll pass on the Inner Guard."

Ji An walked into the teleportation array and indicated that the teleportation could be activated.

As the portly old man activated the array patterns, he remarked with a sigh, "Speaking of which, these past few years I've seen you coming and going in this Great Wilderness Swamp as if you were at home."

He paused for a moment and then asked, "How long do you plan to rest this time? When will you come back?"

Ji An stood in the center of the teleportation array, and the array beneath his feet began to glow with a gray light.

"After this," Ji An replied, "I'm afraid I won't be back for a long time."

He has now accumulated enough merit points, so there is no need for him to come as often as he has in the past four years.

The fat old man's smile froze slightly, and the thin old man also paused for a moment. Both of them looked at Ji An.

Meeting their gazes, Ji An cupped his hands and said, "Take care, seniors."

The elderly man, whether fat or thin, spoke first, "Take care."

Buzz--!

The teleportation array shone brightly, completely enveloping Ji An's figure.

Brush!

Red Dragon Mountain Range, Military Affairs Hall.

Ji An appeared in the hall. The murderous aura he exuded, which had not yet been fully subdued, made several One-Clawed Yinglong Guards who were browsing the mission list nearby jump in surprise. They subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at the young man in silver and gold robes with astonishment and suspicion.

Ignoring the stares around him, Ji An walked straight to the familiar corner counter.

The old man, with white hair and beard and dressed in gray linen clothes, still slumped lazily in the bamboo chair, his eyes half-closed.

"Turn in the task."

Ji An placed the jade slip containing his recording of the mission to the Withered Bone Mountain and his Two-Clawed Yinglong Guard token on the counter.

The old man scanned the jade slip with his Divine Sense, and when he sensed the scene recorded in the jade slip, his unchanging lazy expression finally softened slightly.

"Withered Bone Mountain —impressive." The old man's gaze lingered on Ji An for a moment. "Number 75, Large-Scale Clearance Mission: Withered Bone Mountain," Bounty: 2,500 Merit Points.

Without asking any unnecessary questions, he directly sent a beam of light into Ji An's token.

Ji An took the token and probed it with his Divine Sense. The merit points he had accumulated were clearly displayed as 10,800.

After four years of fighting and countless perilous situations, the goal has finally been achieved.

That's enough.

Ji An thought to himself, then put away the token and gave the old man a slight nod. "Farewell."

The old man in hemp clothing watched Ji An turn and leave, a complex light flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

At sixteen, he had achieved the perfection of Myriad Phenomena Godfiend, comprehending a complete Dao (only the Thunderfire Dao was shown in Ji An's image), and could slay Primordial Spirits as easily as slaughtering dogs—this child was no ordinary person.

Without lingering, Ji An left the Military Affairs Hall and transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, flying directly towards the Daoist Repository Palace.

Stepping into the Daoist Repository Palace once more, Ji An had a clear goal and went straight to the area of Immortal Rank Qi Refining Methods.

This place is different from when I first came here.

Each jade slip or book is protected by a powerful restriction and can only be opened after being exchanged for Yinglong Guard token.

Ji An quickly found the "Golden Origin Scripture".

The exchange requirement is clearly marked next to it: 10,000 merit points.

Ji An took a deep breath and exchanged the money without hesitation.

Buzz!

The number of merit points in the token instantly decreased by 10,000 points.

At the same time, the "Golden Origin Scripture" fell into Ji An's hands.

"Finally, I got it." A surge of excitement welled up in Ji An.

With this Immortal Rank Qi Refining method, he finally understood why his subconscious wanted him to Qi Refining as soon as possible.

Moreover, with the method, he could finally officially begin his Qi Refining practice and make up for his shortcomings in the path of Qi Refining.

The true path to Grand Dao lies in combining Godfiend Body Refinement with Qi Refining.

He did not linger at the Daoist Repository Palace.

After putting away the "Golden Origin Scripture," Ji An turned and left the Daoist Repository Palace.

After leaving the Daoist Repository Palace, Ji An went directly to the secluded cave of Yinglong Guard in the Red Dragon Mountain Range.

This quiet room is constructed of Black Iron rock, and an array separates it from the outside world.

He sat cross-legged and began to peruse the Immortal Rank methods.

Having already grasped the "Metal Dao," the "Golden Origin Scripture" was profound and easy to comprehend without any hindrance.

He flipped his hand and took out a jade bottle, containing the Essence Liquid that he had obtained at such Ji An.

Under Ji An's Divine Consciousness, the Essence Liquid flew into his mouth and was swallowed into his body.

Once the Essence Liquid enters the body, it is instantly and rapidly transformed into primordial energy. In just a moment, the cultivation of Qi Refining has broken through the shackles of the mortal realm and opened the dantian, officially stepping into the realm of Xiantian Lifeform.

"Again."

Ji An whispered.

With a thought, Ji An continuously swallowed the Essence Liquid inside the bottle.

Boom!

The Essence Liquid continuously flowed into his body, where Ji An circulated and refined it, instantly transforming it into Geng Metal True Essence.

Under the influence of the Essence Liquid, the newly opened dantian and qi sea expanded continuously. Soon, the dantian and qi sea seemed to find the space too small and began to rotate and compress within it.

"Boom--!"

It was like the beginning of chaos!

The space in that dantian began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

As Ji An sat cross-legged, countless points of light appeared out of thin air around him, like billions of metal stars orbiting him.

At the very moment of his breakthrough, a sudden change occurred—

The dark golden tome "Universe" that had been dormant in his Sea of Consciousness trembled, and the tome that he had been unable to access before could finally be viewed.

"So, this is the condition for the cheat to start," Ji An thought to himself.

For the past sixteen years, the "Universe" scriptures in this Sea of Consciousness have had no reaction except when I was practicing the "Inner Contemplation Sun-Moon Radiance Buddha".

"Wait and see, let's break through first."

The Essence Liquid accumulated over four years of hunting surged into Ji An's body like a torrent.

Boom!

Countless amounts of Geng metal energy transformed into a vast golden ocean, Ji An's Violet Palace Lake rapidly expanded.

Strange phenomena manifested in the Violet Palace:

Stars, bright moon, Golden Crow.

The essence of the Essence Liquid was refined at an extremely fast speed, and the realm advanced from the Xiantian to the Violet Palace, and then to the Myriad Phenomena Perfection, all in one go.

In just half an hour, the Violet Palace Lake had reached the pinnacle of Myriad Phenomena, with Stars, the bright moon, and the Golden Crow shining brightly. Although its aura was not as strong as Ji An's Godfiend Body Refining Refinement, it had still reached the perfection of the Wanxiang Adept.

"Condense!"

Ji An's soul hovered high in the void of the Violet Palace Mansion, and with a thought...

Below, the ocean of primordial energy surged, and countless points of Gengjin Golden Light shot into the sky, like a reversed galaxy, frantically pouring in Stars and the moon.

Within the Golden Crow.

The three lights surged, instantly reaching their limit.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thousands of golden beams of light descended from the sky, all converging at the center of the Violet Palace.

The beams of light intertwined and gradually transformed into a colossal creature: the Golden Crow solidified into a tortoise's head, the moon into a snake's head, Stars forged a body in which the Tortoise-Snake coiled together.

This is precisely the manifestation of the Primordial Spirit – the Tortoise-Snake!

The Tortoise-Snake raised their heads and hissed, then swam towards the ocean of elemental energy and sank into the golden lake.

"The soul has returned to its rightful place!"

Ji An's divine soul transformed into Flowing Light and plunged directly into the Tortoise-Snake Primordial Spirit.

In an instant, the Tortoise-Snake's eyes shone brightly, their souls nourishing their entire bodies like an infant in the womb.

The Divine Sense, which had already reached the Primordial Spirit level, continued to grow stronger, and in no time, the strength of the divine soul increased several times over.

The Tortoise-Snake coiled in the lake, yin and yang merging. Golden flames hissed and ignited on the tortoise shell, but they did not harm it in the slightest. This was the Primordial Fire that was the symbol of the Primordial Spirit Daoist!

The Tortoise-Snake swam, inhaling and exhaling the Geng metal elemental energy, their bodies continuing to expand.

When the essence of the Stars, the Golden Crow, and the Moon Rabbit is completely exhausted.

"Early stage of Primordial Spirit, accomplished!" The Tortoise-Snake Primordial Spirit uttered a thunderous sound that resounded throughout the Violet Palace.

The Tortoise-Snake Primordial Spirits raised their heads in the lake, their Primordial Fire leaping like golden lotuses.

Ji An opened his eyes, and a flash of golden light disappeared within the cave.

"I just used it all up. I also have to thank those Demon Kings for their treasures and Essence Liquid."

Looking at the now empty jade bottle before him Ji An to himself.

In the past four years, apart from this one which hasn't been replaced with Essence Liquid yet, all the other Demon King treasures have long been replaced with Essence Liquid by Ji An in order to break through to the Myriad Phenomena Perfection.

Yes Myriad Phenomena Perfection. After all, I still wanted to participate in the Immortal Fate Assembly.

But just as he broke through to the Violet Palace, the appearance of "The Universe" changed his mind!
