Chapter 75: Loose Immortal Dao Fruit

Lin Yuan looked at the Scripture of Dutian Divine Thunder, and he could hardly hide the excitement in his eyes. If he could integrate this Scripture of Dutian Divine Thunder into his self-created Taixiao Dao Ming Scripture, his Taixiao Thunder Method would surely reach an incredible level.

However, after carefully reading it a few times, Lin Yuan’s mind gradually calmed down.

This Dutian Divine Thunder was the World-Originating Divine Thunder of the great deity Pangu, and also the Path-Opening Divine Thunder. Its power was simply too immense; it was definitely not something to be comprehended in a short while.

“But, if the Five Elements return to Yin and Yang…”

Lin Yuan’s gaze fell on the part of the Scripture of Dutian Divine Thunder that discussed the Yin-Yang Thunder Method. The pure Taixiao spiritual power within his body immediately began to change.

The Five Elements differentiation, already perfected, gave birth to Yin and Yang!

As if water naturally flowed in its channel, without any obstacle, the Acquired Primordial Spirit, the Taixiao Thunder God, refined within his body, instantly transformed. The lingering Five Elements Qi all separated.

The Wood Qi of the Five Elements turned into Jia Wood and Yi Wood.

The Water Qi of the Five Elements turned into Ren Water and Gui Water.

The Fire Qi of the Five Elements turned into Bing Fire and Ding Fire.

…

Just as Lin Yuan had planned, the differentiation of Yin and Yang occurred. A black and white Taiji thunder light was born amidst the evolution of the Five Elements, devouring all the Five Elements Dao resonance within his body. A majestic, illusory figure emerged from the black and white colors.

The Acquired Yin-Yang Thunder Ancestor Primordial Spirit!

The moment the Acquired Yin-Yang Thunder Ancestor Primordial Spirit was born, the Innate Thunder God Primordial Spirit within his body, which had remained still and hidden until now, suddenly devoured the wandering Innate Yin-Yang Dual Qi around it, turning entirely into black and white.

Acquired Thunder Ancestor Primordial Spirit! Innate Thunder Ancestor Primordial Spirit!

One Innate, one Acquired, they formed an incredibly profound Dao Fruit within his sea of consciousness, radiating black and white Immortal light all over.

That was the Loose Immortal Dao Fruit.

As soon as this Loose Immortal Dao Fruit appeared, it was truly extremely powerful, as if the Thunder Ancestor had descended to the mortal world. Countless strange phenomena surfaced but were instantly suppressed by Lin Yuan quietly circulating his spiritual power.

Innumerable amounts of Innate Water Spiritual Qi from the Tongtian River came rolling in. Lin Yuan, like a giant whale, devoured all the Innate Spiritual Qi, and his aura climbed steadily.

It soon reached a terrifying level, far surpassing that of an ordinary Primordial Spirit Great True Lord.

This was one of the most abnormal aspects of an Innate Divine Demon.

If the amount of spiritual power an ordinary Primordial Spirit Great True Lord could store was considered one, the limit for spiritual power within an ordinary Postnatal True Seed should be at least five times that. A pure-blooded True Dragon might reach an astonishing degree of up to twenty times.

But for the Innate Divine Demon constitution, it could at least reach the number of “nine nines returning to truth.”

In a confrontation of spiritual power at the same level, Lin Yuan, possessing a constitution close to that of an Innate Divine Demon, could blast a same-level Primordial Spirit Great True Lord to death with a single burst of spiritual power.

Even though Lin Yuan had anticipated this, when he opened his eyes and sensed the changes within his body, he still found it hard to hide his shock.

Lin Yuan held the stone slab Dao Scripture in one hand and extended the other. A stream of black and white spiritual light instantly shot out, transforming into a vast thunderbolt a moment later. In an instant, it blasted the Divine Power Talisman Vessel, causing it to shake violently.

There was also a mysterious power that split the divine protective barrier.

That was the most powerful world-creating function of the Innate Yin-Yang.

Joy was evident in his eyes.

“Although the Loose Immortal Dao Fruit is still just a nascent form, I am only half a step away from truly achieving the Scattered Immortal state. Once I slightly refine and balance the Acquired Primordial Embryo and the Innate Primordial Embryo within me, I can consolidate the Loose Immortal Dao Fruit in one move!”

“A Primordial Spirit Great True Lord has a lifespan of five hundred years. After death, their true spirit remains undimmed, and they enter Samsara, with some chance of reincarnating and returning, or even switching to cultivate the Divine Path to seek a lower spiritual rank!”

“But a Scattered Immortal already has a lifespan of nearly one thousand five hundred years. As long as one survives the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations and nurtures one of the Three Flowers, they can achieve the Earth Immortal state!”

The leap from Scattered Immortal to Earth Immortal was a huge one; the gap between them was like a vast chasm.

Dongyue Province was abundant in spiritual energy, vast and boundless, and had produced countless cultivation geniuses.

However, the barrier of Earth Immortal had stopped an unknown number of cultivators.

The Three Calamities were extraordinarily dangerous!

The difficulty was truly too great!

Not to mention achieving Earth Immortal, even just achieving Scattered Immortal involved the perilous Extradimensional Heart Devil Tribulation. If a Primordial Spirit Great True Lord’s Primordial Spirit was not perfectly refined and had even the slightest flaw, the Heart Devil could take advantage, turning a lifetime of cultivation into dust.

“But in the Primordial World, there should currently be no Heart Devils…”

A trace of ease flashed in Lin Yuan’s eyes. He should be the first person in the Primordial World to truly achieve the Immortal Dao. Perhaps he might even receive additional Virtue Merit, with fortune bestowed upon him!

However, the moment this thought arose, an extremely terrifying shadow suddenly appeared in Lin Yuan’s heart. Instantly, he felt as if his entire body had fallen into an ice cellar.

Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something else.

Legend had it that among the Five Ancient Emperors, before White Emperor Luo Hou fell, his Primordial Spirit transformed, giving birth to a terrifying existence who called himself a Demon.

Elusive and traceless, he called himself the Primordial Origin Heavenly Demon King.

The Path of Turbid Sha and Divine Demons in the Primordial World did not have the Extradimensional Heart Devil Tribulation, likely because the Extradimensional Heart Devils had not yet emerged in accordance with destiny.

And as the first Immortal to undergo the tribulation

—Standing in the center of the cave dwelling, Lin Yuan’s expression became somewhat unpleasant.

If he were to undergo the tribulation, in all likelihood, that Primordial Origin Heavenly Demon King himself might come to pay him a visit!

Though Lin Yuan was confident that his cultivation and spiritual mastery far exceeded that of Primordial Spirit Great True Lords at his level, if he were to attract the Primordial Origin Heavenly Demon King…

—Unbeknownst to him, Lin Yuan’s palms became slightly damp!

“Forget it, forget it. I’d better return to the Main World to make the breakthrough!”

Muttering to himself, Lin Yuan’s expression changed again.

It was better to be cautious when caution was called for.

Foolishly rushing to one’s death was something to be avoided even once. Being careful and cautious ten thousand times was never too many!

After all, he still had some time before the breakthrough to Scattered Immortal. It was better to properly refine his foundation. Only with a stable foundation could one accumulate strength for a great leap forward.

At least in this aspect, he had to surpass the peerless geniuses born from the numerous Dharma Lineages in the Main World!

“Also, I need to think of a way to earn some Virtue Merit. Otherwise, I probably won’t be able to bring these treasures back!”

Lin Yuan glanced at the piles of rare treasures by his side.

As for earning Virtue Merit, Lin Yuan already had another idea. Perhaps not only could he earn Virtue Merit, but he might also be able to advance the Innate Twenty-Four Dao Diagrams further in the process.

With numerous ideas at his disposal, even if he were to achieve the Innate Divine Demon state, he shouldn’t be just an ordinary Innate Divine Demon!

…

At this moment, Lin Yuan did not know that the three Innate Dao Lords on Jade Capital Mountain had been paying attention to his cultivation all along. Simultaneously, by observing the changes in the circulation of his mystical arts, they used him as a touchstone for the emergence of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.

“What a magnificent Great Dao!”

The moment they witnessed the marvelous phenomenon of the Loose Immortal appearing on Lin Yuan, all three Innate Dao Lords were visibly moved. Immortal light simultaneously flickered around them.

The three Dao Lords each had different expressions. Behind Dao Lord Taiqing appeared streams of purple qi and cloud radiance, “Purple Qi from the East spanning thirty thousand miles.” A profoundly mysterious and supreme Divine Demon Dao Body transformed into pure moral Immortal light, faintly revealing the supreme Dao resonance of “Five Qi Converging to the Origin, Three Flowers Converging at the Crown,” with Auspicious Cloud faintly visible.

Jade Purity Dao Lord and Upper Dao Lord each refined their Divine Demon Dao Body behind them into one mu of mysterious and unfathomable Auspicious Cloud treasure light, though the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit was faintly discernible.

Almost simultaneously, the three Innate Dao Lords completely made up their minds to switch to cultivating the Immortal Dao. The Immortal Dao’s emergence was already close at hand.

Three streams of Immortal light shot into the sky. But in an instant, the expressions of the three Innate Dao Lords changed slightly. A bleak and obscure aura that caused all heavens to wither suddenly rushed from the depths of the unseen void into Jade Capital Mountain.

At this moment, in numerous spiritual mountains across the Primordial World, the various Innate Dao Lords sensed the changes on Jade Capital Mountain at the center of the Primordial World. They all focused their gazes in the direction of Jade Capital Mountain, casting looks of surprise, astonishment, or peculiarity.

As this aura descended, the half-transformed Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruits of the three Innate Dao Lords suddenly dimmed and flickered.

Especially the Dao Lord in the center; the Auspicious Cloud, golden lamps, and tassels above his head swayed instantly!

“How dare you! This is outrageous!” This Innate Dao Lord immediately stood up, his face flushing with anger. A Jade Ruyi Scepter flashing with three-colored mystic light appeared in his hand. Immortal light shattered the void, and with a flash, he vanished from his spot!

Seeing this, the other two Dao Lords remained unchanged in expression, simply closing their eyes as if they weren’t worried at all!
