Chapter 132: The Five Immortals of the Primordial World

Lin Yuan reached out his hand, and strands of peculiar white flowing light appeared in his grasp. Within the white light, five immense phenomena swirled, evolving into a supreme imperial palace with myriad immortals paying homage.

A smile touched Lin Yuan’s eyes.

Heaven, Earth, Man, Spirit, and Ghost—these five branches were like five great rivers. Once perfected, it would be an unimaginable achievement, the first capital Lin Yuan relied on for his rise.

However, as Lin Yuan looked, the aura brilliance representing the Ghost Immortal branch and the Human Immortal branch among the five was extremely dim.

For the Ghost Immortal branch, Lin Yuan used the Merit Golden Lamp to gather ghosts and spirits. Combined with his own comprehension of the Yinming Blessed Land and the Nine Nether Profound Mysteries Technique, establishing the Ghost Immortal branch was not difficult.

It had already begun to change and could stand on its own at any time.

It was the Human Immortal branch that posed more of a challenge.

Human Immortals were divided into civil and martial paths. The civil path nourished the righteous energy of Heaven and Earth, filled the cosmos with vastness, descended the mountain to aid dragons, harmonized Yin and Yang, established merit, words, and virtue, bringing order to the state, family, and the world.

The martial path emulated Heaven and Earth, shattered the void, with myriad methods reaching the boundless.

Lin Yuan’s research into the Human Immortal branch was not deep.

Still, for Lin Yuan, this was not particularly difficult. The Great Dao of Turbid Fiend Gods inherently followed a body refining path. Using this to enlighten and transform into the Human Immortal path was perfectly feasible.

Thoughts flashing in his mind, Lin Yuan decided to transmit the five branches soon.

With the birth of the Big Dipper Star God, he suspected the establishment of the Mystic Gate’s path would not exceed ten thousand years.

As the signs of the Big Dipper Star God’s birth appeared, Lin Yuan soon saw various divine demons across the land beginning to move. Groups of divine demons headed toward the Heavenly Court high in the Nine Heavens, laden with gifts.

Lin Yuan continued walking downstream along the Tongtian River. However, most of the many Human Race tribes downstream were smaller in scale compared to the Xuangui Tribe. The Yin and Yang attributed spiritual items and materials Lin Yuan obtained from those markets were not plentiful, and their quality was significantly poorer.

In the end, although the Primordial Yin-Yang Qiankun Diagram showed some progress, compared to the effect brought by the five Yin and Yang attributed wondrous items obtained from the Xuangui Tribe, it seemed somewhat redundant.

Lin Yuan planned to make a trip to Jiugong Mountain.

At the foot of Jiugong Mountain, there was also a newly emerged large market, established by cultivators from several nearby God-Demon Dynasties.

This trading market had been established very early. Some Imperial Monarchs of the God-Demon Dynasties realized the benefits of trading markets earlier than the Human Race.

However, while passing by a spiritual mountain, Lin Yuan’s steps halted, and he stopped his escaping light.

Looking over, it was a colossal spiritual mountain spanning thousands of miles, with numerous Spiritual Veins meandering within its Spiritual Veins, the Innate Spiritual Qi thick to the extreme.

Lin Yuan remembered this nameless spiritual mountain before him because, among the many spiritual mountains and Spiritual Veins he had enlightened, this nameless spiritual mountain’s Spiritual Vein was rather special.

It actually had several dozen interconnected Spiritual Veins within it, along with a hundred apertures.

Back then, Lin Yuan expended great effort to sort out the Spiritual Veins within this mountain.

Naturally, Lin Yuan also obtained a strand of this mountain’s Fortune/Luck.

Now, this Spiritual Mountain Blessed Land, called Pangdu Ridge, was extremely lively.

Under Lin Yuan’s somewhat surprised gaze, many members of the Yao Clan wearing animal hides were bustling up and down.

Some were busy fetching spiritual water for irrigation, others were clearing spiritual fields, sowing some Spiritual Root seeds.

These little demons were planting Spiritual Roots?

Lin Yuan’s expression was quite peculiar.

Such cultivation was very common in sects of the Main World, but in the Primordial World, few Yao cultivators would actively farm.

The reason was simple: the Primordial World was abundant in resources; ordinary Spiritual Roots were not rare. Spending hundreds of years to grow only some common Spiritual Roots made many divine demons disdain such efforts.

Lin Yuan had long collected many Spiritual Root seeds, planning to plant them only after successfully condensing a blessed land within the Inner Scene Earth Gate.

Lin Yuan noticed that many of the Spiritual Root seeds these Yao Clan members were planting were quite rare, especially seeds of several Acquired divine trees.

There were even divine trees with nourishment attributes!

A thought stirring in his heart, Lin Yuan swept his gaze up and down this Spiritual Mountain Blessed Land, then deliberately revealed his presence.

Seeing a cultivator arrive, the many little demons became somewhat flustered. Soon, a leading great demon adorned with scattered green leaves on its head stepped out, shouting from afar.

“Who comes? Why do you spy before the Wu Mountain’s gate?”

Lin Yuan’s figure flickered, and in one step, he was already ten paces away from the great demon at the mountain gate. He immediately spoke up.

“Please inform the Great King of this mountain that the Human Race’s Daoist Taiyuan requests an audience, wishing to exchange for some Spiritual Root seeds from your honorable mountain!”

Suddenly finding Lin Yuan so close, the great demon was already panicked. Hearing Lin Yuan’s words, it felt slightly reassured. This Daoist’s cultivation was extremely profound, yet his conduct was so polite. It likely wasn’t here to cause trouble.

Moreover, the great demon could sense that this self-proclaimed Human Race Daoist Taiyuan carried an aura of kinship. Judging by the aura emanating from him, he must be an extremely high-ranking existence among their kind.

Its hostility weakened further as it said respectfully,

“Please wait a moment, Senior. Allow this humble one to report to the cave abode first!”

Somewhat composing itself, the great demon hastily summoned a demonic wind and flew toward the mountain.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan swept his gaze over the other Yao Clan members on high alert. Lin Yuan noted that these Yao Clan members were all wood-attributed, either transformed from plants and trees or Spiritual Roots.

Plant, tree, mountain, and stone transformations were typically more difficult than transformations of ordinary extraordinary beasts.

Because plants, trees, mountains, and stones lacked nine apertures, making it hard for spirituality to thrive. They were also naturally restrained and seen as food by many extraordinary beasts. No wonder these Yao Clan members trembled in fear, nervous at every sound.

In an instant, Lin Yuan saw two spiritual lights hastily flying down from the mountain, transforming into two elderly figures in ancient brocade robes. Both elders had childlike faces, with three wisps of beard floating below their chins and crow-feather-like hair at their temples. One wore a green robe, the other a white robe.

These were two Celestial Divine Demons.

Laughter came from afar.

“The visitor, could it be the Ancestral Master of Earth Immortals, Fellow Daoist Taiyuan? I am Daoist Gusong!”

“I am Daoist Hanfu!”

“Greetings to both Fellow Daoists. Today, I disturb your esteemed residence, disturbing your peaceful cultivation. I beg your pardon!” Lin Yuan also clasped his hands in salute. His gaze swept over these two Yao cultivators, and his eyes flickered slightly.

These two Yao cultivators were enveloped in pure Qi, clearly indicating profound origins and a deep devotion to the Dao. Most remarkably, Lin Yuan noticed a sense of shared origin among the three of them.

They were all Innate Spiritual Roots who had achieved the Dao!

“Fellow Daoist, you are too polite. Your virtuous name has spread across millions of miles around Jiugong Mountain. Today, Fellow Daoist visiting our humble abode, we wish to hear about the mysteries of the Earth Immortal path. It is truly a welcome opportunity!”

Daoist Gusong’s face wore a smiling expression. He quietly exchanged a glance with Daoist Hanfu, both flashing a trace of emotion in their eyes.

He was an innate profound pine who had achieved the Dao, and his friend beside him was an innate cold plum who had achieved the Dao. Just now, both simultaneously sensed that this famous Human Race sage around Jiugong Mountain was actually of the same kind as them!

This inevitably filled them with both surprise and joy. Their gazes toward Lin Yuan already held more warmth.

Added to their considerable appreciation for the Earth Immortal path, they promptly invited Lin Yuan into their cave abode.

Lin Yuan readily accepted, and suddenly, an idea surfaced in his mind.

If this idea succeeded, perhaps his innate foundation could advance one level, even catching up to those top-tier Innate Divine Demons.
