Chapter 141 Refining the Origin of Heaven and Earth
On the other side, the astonishing stream of light that Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun transformed into silently passed through the light curtain of the Wanshou Mountain Innate Earth Guardian Array, like a wanderer returning home, without disturbing a single blade of grass or tree in the mountain.
After a chase that spanned the primordial era and a life-or-death battle at the Hunyuan level, returning to their peaceful and tranquil home ground, even with their current state of mind, they couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and tranquility.
"Brother Dao, after this arduous journey and the great battle, I need to return to the Fire Cloud Cave to meditate and reflect on the gains and losses of this battle, and consolidate my cultivation."
Hongyun lowered his cloud head in front of the temple and bowed to Zhen Yuanzi.
Although his complexion had regained its rosy hue, there was still a faint trace of fatigue deep in his eyes.
Fighting against a powerful figure like Qiankun Daoren, especially maintaining the Four Symbols Seal to withstand the aftershocks of the self-destruction at the last moment, was quite taxing for him, a cultivator who had only recently entered the Hunyuan realm. He needed time to digest the insights gained from the battle.
Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly and said gently, "Fellow Daoist, you may go. The Fire Cloud Cave is in harmony with your origin, and it should have a miraculous effect on your recovery of enlightenment. If you need anything, you can come to me at any time."
Hongyun nodded, said no more, and transformed into a streak of crimson light, merging into the halo of light at the entrance of the Fire Cloud Cave, which was connected to the mountain-protecting array, and disappeared.
After Hongyun left, Zhen Yuanzi did not rush into the temple, but strolled to the center of the courtyard.
There, the innate spiritual root, the Four Symbols Banana Tree, was unfurling its broad leaves, shimmering with four-colored precious light, representing earth, water, and...
The four elements of fire, wind, and earth flow harmoniously, emanating a peaceful and serene Daoist charm that nourishes the soul and calms the mind.
Beneath the tree, spiritual energy abounds, and the Dao manifests, making it the best place for enlightenment within the Wuzhuang Temple.
He brushed away the non-existent dust from the stone platform, sat down cross-legged, and leaned against the thick, weathered tree trunk marked with innate Dao patterns.
As soon as he sat down, his aura quickly calmed down, gradually synchronizing with the breathing of the Longevity Mountain ancestral vein beneath his feet and the Four Symbols Banana Tree behind him, as if he had completely merged with this world and there was no longer any distinction between them.
It's time to deal with this biggest spoils of war.
With a thought, Zhen Yuanzi brought the "Origin of Heaven and Earth," a chaotic entity sealed by layers of restrictions and containing countless miniature universes in flux, to his palm.
Even through the seal, the unique Daoist aura that defined directions and governed space still permeated the air, causing subtle ripples in the surrounding space. The leaves of the Four Symbols Banana Trees moved without wind, making a soft rustling sound as if in response.
"The origin of the Chaos Demon God is indeed extraordinary." Zhen Yuanzi stared at this mass of origin, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
This is not an ordinary essence of energy, but rather contains the understanding and imprint of the Daoist Qiankun on the Great Dao of "Qiankun" throughout his life, which is the fundamental reason for its existence.
Forcibly absorbing it could easily trigger a conflict with the Great Dao, and might even result in being devoured by the residual will of the Qiankun Daoist within.
But Zhen Yuanzi remained calm and showed no fear. He took a deep breath, and the supreme technique he had created, the "Great Earth Chaos Scripture," began to slowly circulate within his body.
"The earth sustains all things, its virtue is boundless; chaos embraces all, and all things return to their source."
A deep, resonant Daoist voice rose from the depths of his mind; it was not a verbal recitation, but a resonance of the Great Dao itself.
He began to exude a unique Daoist aura, and his left eye turned a dark yellow, reflecting the weight of mountains and rivers.
His right eye faintly glowed crimson, containing the intense heat of surging subterranean fire;
Deep within his eyes lay a chaotic void that seemed to devour and give birth to everything.
He did not forcefully attack or tear apart that primordial energy, but instead used his own vast and boundless chaotic power as a guide, like the gentlest warm current, to slowly envelop it.
At the same time, he drew upon the true meaning of his own "Way of the Earth"—which is not merely a pile of earth and stones, but a grand will that bears all things, nurtures life, and stabilizes order.
How does the earth bear all things? It lies in its "inclusivity" and "stability." Whether it is a towering mountain or a trickling stream; whether it is the withering and flourishing of plants or the rise and fall of civilizations, all things are played out on the earth and ultimately return to the earth.
This kind of "inclusivity" is, in a sense, similar to the "accommodating" characteristic of "space," only the level and form of expression are different.
At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi is to use the "inclusive" characteristic of his own Earth Way as a bridge to understand, accept, and ultimately integrate this external "Qiankun" Way.
The process was not smooth sailing.
When Zhen Yuanzi's divine sense and magical power truly touched the core of the origin of heaven and earth, a strong sense of repulsion suddenly erupted!
The chaotic energy surged violently, and the miniature patterns of the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind within it flickered wildly. An arrogant, sharp, and all-encompassing spatial will fiercely counterattacked, attempting to tear apart Zhen Yuanzi's divine sense and break free from its restraints!
This is the instinctive resistance of the remaining Daoist imprint of Qiankun Daoist, a fierce collision of two different Daoist philosophies.
Zhen Yuanzi grunted, but his body remained as steady as a rock.
He did not confront the repulsive force head-on, but like the most experienced helmsman, he guided his own chaotic magic power to penetrate, entwine, and soothe through the gaps in the repulsive force.
He is like the boundless earth, unmoved by storms and landslides, using endless patience and gravitas to wear down and contain the sharp power of space.
The dark yellow color in his left eye grew even more intense, as if it had gathered all the earth vein power of the entire Longevity Mountain.
By empowering myself, I achieve the ultimate in "bearing" and "stabilizing." No matter how the world turns upside down or space shatters, I will remain steadfast with the earth!
At the same time, the crimson light in his right eye also quietly began to move. It was the true meaning of fire brought by the Southern Flame Banner, representing "chaos" and "change".
At this moment, the true meaning of fire is not used for attack, but like flames in a furnace, it burns the overly rigid and outdated fragments of laws in the origin of heaven and earth, making them more malleable and easier for his chaotic Dao to absorb and evolve.
This was an extremely slow and mentally taxing process. Zhen Yuanzi was completely immersed in it, his mind engaging in the deepest level of communication and struggle with the origin of heaven and earth.
He seemed to see the scene before chaos was created, when the God of Heaven and Earth dominated the primordial chaos and held the power of space.
It was as if I witnessed the creation of heaven and earth, the separation of the pure and the impure, and the birth of the concept of space; I also saw how the Daoist of Heaven and Earth, relying on the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, gradually bound his own Dao to the object, revealing his bias and limitations.
Time flies by in a state of profound enlightenment. In the primordial era, years are not recorded; perhaps several seasons have passed in the outside world, and plants have withered and flourished many times.
Beneath the Four Symbols Banana Tree, Zhen Yuanzi seemed to have transformed into a stone statue, with only the Daoist aura flowing around him growing increasingly profound.
That originally unruly primordial energy, after its initial fierce resistance, gradually became peaceful and docile under the erosion of the all-pervasive and all-encompassing chaotic Dao and the unwavering will of the earth.
