Chương 23: Taiyi Golden Immortal

The four fundamental forces of earth, fire, water, and wind surged forth from the four treasure mountains, and were entwined by the roots of the World Tree. The World Tree, like a gluttonous beast, greedily devoured the four fundamental forces.

Before long, the four treasure mountains were revealed. Upon seeing this, Fang Yang saw four more treasure mountains, a hundred times larger than the previous four, fly out.

Fortunately, Fang Yang was a direct disciple of a sage, allowing him to freely obtain cultivation resources from the Myriad Manifestations Pavilion. If it were anyone else, accumulating resources to cultivate the Dao of the Origin of Heaven and Earth would be more difficult than King Wu's conquest of King Zhou.

Since it concerned his own path to enlightenment, Fang Yang showed no mercy when collecting resources, taking all the divine objects containing the essence of earth, fire, wind, and water.

If he takes too much, he can simply return it after he finishes his cultivation. But if he fails to cultivate because he takes too little, that would be a much bigger problem.

Boom!

As more and more treasures fell down, the roots of the World Tree grew thicker and thicker, and a massive amount of the four fundamental energies flowed into the World Tree, where they were digested and absorbed.

Fang Yang materialized his Dao Heart, transforming it into a void Dao Seed.

The innate law is born from the combination of one's Dao heart and magical power. This is why some powerful beings suffer damage to their cultivation when their Dao heart is broken.

The Dao heart is the foundation of the Dao for cultivators.

Fang Yang chose to cultivate the Art of Manipulating Creation, waiting for this very day. The Art of Manipulating Creation not only contains methods for converting matter and energy, but also harmonizes various forces, bringing them into balance.

Once you understand this, cultivating the seed of the Dao will be much easier.

The four fundamental powers were poured into the illusory Dao Seed, and the laws of creation quietly appeared, organizing the powers of the four fundamental powers and allowing them to merge.

The Purple Lightning Hammer flew out, and the divine lightning of the heavens transformed into a thunder hammer, striking the illusory Dao Seed, using the powerful lightning force to temper the four fundamental forces.

The Yin-Yang gourd also appeared, evolving into the four elements of heaven and earth, and infusing the four supernatural powers cultivated by Fang Yang into the origin of earth, fire, water and wind.

The origin of earth governs the laws of space, the origin of fire governs the laws of speed, the origin of wind governs the laws of thunder, and the origin of water governs the laws of creation.

Time passed quickly in Qingcheng Grotto-heaven; one day outside was equivalent to one year inside the grotto-heaven, and five cycles had passed in the blink of an eye.

Of course, in the outside world, it's only two thousand years.

Two thousand years in the primordial world is far too short; even a celestial being can enjoy a lifespan of three thousand years.

Inside the Hall of Heavenly Observation, the World Tree was now vastly different in size. Its enormous trunk rose from the ground, piercing through the hall and extending beyond it, its aura more than a hundred times stronger than before.

Fang Yang sat cross-legged in the center of the roots of the World Tree, with a chaotic-colored Dao Seed floating above his head. On the Dao Seed, runes of the four fundamental elements—earth, fire, water, and wind—flowed, radiating endless Dao charm.

The Dao Seed of the Origin of Heaven and Earth, complete!

However, to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, Fang Yang still needs to enter the River of Destiny and plant an anchor point for his true self, thereby obtaining authenticity from the River of Destiny.

Authenticity is the foundation upon which the Great Luo Golden Immortal's proof is eternal, granting them immortality and indestructibility.

Only illusions can be destroyed; true existence will never perish.

Those fallen Great Luo Golden Immortals may appear to be dead, but in reality, they are simply no longer here. One day, they will be able to return to the world.

Fang Yang put away the World Tree, took a step, and left Qingcheng Cave Heaven.

Qingcheng Grotto-heaven is merely a small world, unable to bear the long river of destiny. He must return to the greater world to welcome the arrival of the long river of destiny and thus condense the Taiyi Dao Fruit.

As soon as he left Qingcheng Cave Heaven, a divine thought descended upon him. The owner of the divine thought saw the surging aura around Fang Yang and immediately knew what Fang Yang was about to do.

Boom!

The aura of a quasi-saint realm expert quietly descended, sealing off the entire Qingcheng Mountain. Daoist Qisha continuously released his will, warning the immortals coming and going.

Anyone who dares to disturb Fang Yang at this time will surely face a full-force attack from Daoist Qisha, even the disciples of the Sage Sect!

Master Qi Sha wasn't overly nervous; rather, there's never a shortage of jealous and envious people in the world. If they themselves lack ability, they don't want to see those who come after them surpass them.

What if some powerful being doesn't want to see Fang Yang break through and ruins his cultivation with a single finger? How would Daoist Qi Sha explain that to Master Tongtian?

Fang Yang sensed the covert protection, nodded secretly, and with a flash, entered the River of Destiny.

If it weren't for Daoist Qisha protecting him, he would definitely have returned to Jin'ao Island to break through. Breaking through alone outside is simply too dangerous.

The river of fate is vast and boundless.

The river of destiny is not a real thing, but is woven together by countless causes, fates, fortunes, secrets of heaven, and possibilities.

It can be said that the river of destiny carries all the causes and effects of the primordial world, reflecting the past, present and future.

Fang Yang saw countless versions of himself in the long river of fate: the self that was born, the self that was hiding from a primitive tribe with his parents, and the self that was fighting with a leopard.

These are all Fang Yang's past. For beings below the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, the past is fixed and forever unique.

Fang Yang continued reading and saw his future self.

There will be countless Fang Yangs in the future: some will attain the Great Luo realm, some will perish and their cultivation dissipates, some will be listed on the Investiture of the Gods, and some will even preside over the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures...

Yes, it's a journey to the East, not a journey to the West.

In this future, Fang Yang will develop the Jie Sect to great success, and all the major races of the East will live in peace and prosperity.

Seeing this situation, the Western religion sent its disciples to Jin'ao Island to learn the scriptures.

The future is inherently full of infinite possibilities, and every action and every choice Fang Yang makes will influence the evolution of the river of fate.

Fang Yang focused his mind and condensed a wisp of chaotic-colored Dao seed power at his fingertips.

With a low shout, Fang Yang caused the Dao Seed of the Origin of Heaven and Earth above his head to suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light. The four primordial runes of earth, fire, water, and wind intertwined into a net, sorting out all the cause and effect and fortune around him.

He raised his hand and pointed, and the Dao Seed transformed into a large anchor, plunging fiercely into the riverbed of the River of Destiny.

Ding!

The massive anchor gripped the riverbed tightly, freezing Fang Yang's physical form in the present world.

"The origin of heaven and earth, all things return to one!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fang Yang used the large anchor as a guiding light to absorb his own authenticity. With a bit of authenticity entering his body, Fang Yang's Dao Seed finally broke through its shell and evolved into a Dao Fruit filled with the aura of immortality.

When the Taiyi Dao fruit was achieved, countless "Fangyang" instantly evolved within the long river of destiny. These Fangyang were no longer images, but rather the "other selves" of Fangyang.

Suddenly, Fang Yang had a strange feeling. He was no longer one person, but countless people, yet these countless people were originally him.

boom!

Above Mount Qingcheng, golden lotuses bloomed, radiant light shone in countless rays, and auspicious clouds filled the sky. Surrounded by these extraordinary phenomena, Fang Yang returned to the world.

The Taiyi Golden Immortal has finally been achieved!
