Chapter 1: Pangu's Essence Blood, Unexpected Return to Chaos

  Li Yi woke up in a daze, feeling a sharp pain, and when he looked again, he was stunned. Everything before his eyes was blurry, and he didn't know where he was.

  Before he could understand what was happening, everything went black and he lost consciousness. Then a large amount of information appeared in his mind, causing Li Yi so much pain that he wanted to tear himself in two.

  It seems like a thousand years have passed, or ten thousand years, or countless years, in the midst of chaos where time cannot be calculated, here space-time is disordered, there is no way to perceive, and it has no meaning.

  Li Yi woke up again in a daze.

  Li Yi sensed his own body, helplessly sighed, and a flash of horror, helplessness, and stealthy joy flickered in his eyes - his expression was complex to the extreme, difficult to describe.

  Born under the red flag, grown in the spring breeze, rooted in the soil of socialism, and developed in great China, he is a materialist through and through.

  Although, I often go online to read starting points, look at transmigration articles, and fantasize about becoming the main character, with a bunch of loli, beauties, and mature women chasing after me.

  But he never thought that he would really wear it, and wore it so thoroughly, wearing it all the way to before the flood of chaos, in the midst of the primordial void.

  Li Yi's life was actually quite good in reality, although he didn't have a lavish lifestyle with beautiful women and luxury cars, but he had simple pleasures like vegetables and tofu.

  But suddenly, this guy felt that he was barely making ends meet, or maybe even a little better off than before, and could be considered a small white-collar worker. It's time to experience the petty bourgeoisie sentiment. For a moment, his heart's desire was to have a seaside picnic.

  Alas, who would have thought that as soon as Li Yi arrived at the seaside, a red light flashed at a speed so swift it was like lightning, and with a "whoosh" sound, it drilled into Li Yi's body.

  Then, suddenly the wind surged and the clouds moved, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, followed by a fierce descent of the Nine Heavenly Thunderbolts, which struck Li Yi until he was charred outside and tender inside. Afterwards, he woke up in a daze to find himself already in the midst of chaos.

  Li Yi "browsed" through the large amount of information that suddenly appeared in his mind, and only then did he understand the cause and effect.

  That red light was actually a drop of Pangu's essence blood left over from the Honghuang era, which couldn't be transformed and had been dormant for countless years before finally producing a bit of spiritual intelligence. It just so happened that it was going to be born today, but felt that its fate was hard to escape, and as soon as it encountered Li Yi, such a carrier, it attached itself without hesitation.

  This drop of essence was originally a freak, if it had dissipated into the universe, that would have been fine. Now it wants to manifest in the world, how can Heaven tolerate it? So it sends down nine heavenly thunderbolts to turn it into dust.

  However, at this time the earth's spiritual energy was too thin and the spatial stability was too poor, and it was suddenly torn open by a space-time rift, allowing Jing Xue to rely on the connection in the dark to protect Li Yi's soul back to the chaos.

  Li Yi is not a person who complains about heaven and others. From an orphan to almost becoming a white-collar worker, he has no connections to rely on, and has experienced too much hardship, ridicule, and wind and rain along the way, which has long made him as tough as iron.

  Moreover, as an orphan, he didn't have many attachments. Compared to the extraordinary opportunity of becoming immortal and living forever that was right in front of him, those attachments were not worth mentioning.

  What made Li Yi particularly painful was that the essence had completely merged with his soul, and some kind of mutation occurred when passing through the space-time channel, turning from deep red to purple gold, mixed with some fragments of space-time, and it's unknown whether he can cultivate in the future.

  Thinking of his ancestors unable to cultivate the Tao, not understanding the heavenly numbers, and finally turning into dust, Li Yi felt a pang of fear, thinking that he might also be one of them.

  "No, after all the difficulties of crossing over, I must give it a try" Li Yi gritted his teeth.

  As the saying goes, there is motivation with pressure. Thinking that he might disappear in the future, Li Yi couldn't stay idle anymore. He had barely managed to cross over, how could he be willing to turn into dust just like that?

  Li Yi based on the information that suddenly appeared in his mind, imagined himself in a five-heart-facing-the-sky pose, and began to absorb the chaotic spiritual energy.

  Unconsciously, Li Yi fell into a profound and mysterious state, indescribable, as if the chaotic air was being drawn to him thread by thread.

  It is unknown how many years have passed, perhaps it was a thousand years, perhaps it was ten thousand years, or perhaps it was tens of thousands of millions of years.

  Li Yi's primordial spirit was initially the size of a fist, growing to the size of a hundred feet, then to the size of a thousand feet, until it suddenly stopped at the size of ten thousand feet, and Li Yi slowly woke up.

  It wasn't until now that Li Yi finally understood why so many people in history were willing to abandon their wives and children, go to the mountains and rivers, and sit in meditation to cultivate immortality; willing to leave the worldly dust behind, and quietly accompany the old trees and crows. No other reason, it's just that the feeling of cultivating at that time was too wonderful, as if the whole body was surrounded by a layer of coolness, penetrating layer by layer inward.

  From the flesh to the soul, I feel a wave of comfort and a sense that life is constantly being sublimated. The mysteries of heaven and earth are constantly flashing in my mind, and things that were previously unclear or unenlightened are gradually becoming clear. This feeling is really hard to describe, it's hundreds, thousands of times more intoxicating than taking drugs.

  Li Yi came back to his senses and explored his own realm, discovering that he had unknowingly reached the Golden Immortal rank.

  Now Li Yi has set foot in Xiūzhēn and is no longer a novice at cultivating immortality. He also understands that it can be roughly divided into several realms:

  Celestial Immortal - The five energies in the chest converge, essence, energy and spirit manifest, transformed into three flowers.

  Mystic Immortal - Three Flowers Bloom One.

  Jin Xian - Three Flowers Bloom Two Dots, reaching the ultimate of Later Heaven, the highest realm that can be cultivated by law.

  Da Luo Golden Immortal - Three Flowers Bloom Simultaneously, Reversing the Natural Order, Condensing Dao Fruits, Spiritual Powers Manifest Spontaneously, Various Inconceivable and Mysterious Phenomena Appear.

  Hunyuan Dà Luó Jīn Xiān, Shèng Rén (Shèng Rén is Hunyuan Dà Luó Jīn Xiān, but the former is not necessarily a Shèng Rén) - Yuánshén jì tuō yú xū kōng, tiào chū mìng yùn cháng hé, bù sǐ bù miè, shèng rén gèng néng jiè tiān dào yì zhì wēi néng, shén tōng wú liàng.

  Don't look at Li Yi now being a Golden Immortal, ten million eight thousand miles away from the Saint, not even touching the edge, but thinking about it later, until the war of sealing the gods, the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Xuan teachings made a name for themselves in the future, and you can imagine how extraordinary the position of the Golden Immortal is.

  The path of cultivation is treacherous, with every step filled with danger. The road ahead is entangled with karma and retribution, beset by calamities and difficulties. External demons and internal demons assail you, and a single misstep can lead to death and the loss of your Dao.

  Cultivating immortality is a process of going against the heavens, not going against the heavenly way or the will of the heavens. People like this either die and disappear, or are just ordinary people shouting wildly.

  The so-called "reversing the heavens" in cultivation refers to cultivating against the evolution of heaven and earth, first gathering spiritual energy, then practicing pre-heavenly techniques, and finally practicing chaos. That's why many powerful beings emerged at the beginning of the Honghuang era, because they were born with chaotic, pre-heavenly yuan spirits, and only needed to raise their realm and magical powers to attain the great Luo Golden Immortal position, of course, achieving this step is also a rare occurrence in ten thousand.

  Li Yi was able to attain the Golden Immortal position so easily, it is indeed a rare and extraordinary fate in the history of the world. In the midst of chaos, the Heavenly Way is not revealed, and there is no cause and effect. As long as he did not provoke those powerful energies, he would not have encountered any great calamities, so Li Yi indeed had a great opportunity.

  Thinking of this, Li Yi was also stunned for a moment, not thinking that he would be so lucky, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little proud. "Brother is also a primordial spirit, be careful, maybe in the future you'll become a great power, ah, being handsome is just unstoppable", this guy thought to himself with feigned distress, as for the "profound" issue of not even having a physical form yet, it was already automatically ignored.

  Li Yi, having obtained the Golden Elixir, was overjoyed and thought that this opportunity was hard to come by. He took advantage of the current chaos before the separation of yin and yang, when cause and effect were not yet established, and hurriedly cultivated his skills to enhance his abilities and transform his physical body, which was the correct approach.

  Otherwise, after the opening of heaven, the cause and effect are complicated, the difficulties are heavy, where is such a good cultivation environment? Moreover, one's own primordial spirit combines with Pangu's essence and blood, no matter what, will be entangled with the witch tribe.

  As a transmigrator, an old reader of Starting Point is well aware that whether something makes sense or not ultimately depends on one's strength. With great power, the unreasonable becomes reasonable, and without it, the reasonable becomes unreasonable.

  Only with great strength can one increase their chances of survival in the vast wilderness and grasp that thread of opportunity to attain eternity.

  Don't you see, in the great wars of dragons and phoenixes, witches and demons, countless innocent lives were lost. In the end, who will help them plead their case? Isn't it just "it's their fate" after all? At most, people will only feel a little sympathy.

  Thinking of the power-hungry Honghuang, Li Yi once again immersed himself in his practice.

  In the midst of chaos, it is impossible to perceive the passage of time. Everywhere are raging storms and divine lightning, occasionally a spatial rift appears, extremely terrifying.

  In such a terrible environment, even if Dali Jinxian is slightly careless, he will be crushed to dust and his body will disappear.

  There is great terror between life and death, under the pressure of facing death, Li Yi became immersed in his cultivation, step by step clarifying the information carried by the Pangu essence blood.

  The essence of Pangu's blood does not contain any cultivation methods, but it is better than any method, because it contains the residual Tao rhyme, implying the ultimate principle of heaven and earth. Cultivating immortality is cultivating the Tao, understanding heaven and earth, feeling the law, which is the right path.

  In the midst of perceiving the ultimate principle of nature, slowly elevate, go against the evolution of nature and move forward, sublimate the soul, life transcends, the Tao is natural, in harmony with the mysterious heavenly law, can walk further.

  Moreover, except for individual physical exercises that utilize the external environment, no great ability can create a cultivation method above Golden Immortal. The Golden Immortal is the ultimate of acquired skills, and even Mahayana Golden Immortals and Hunyuan Mahayana Golden Immortals can only be cultivated through enlightenment.

  It can be seen that the preciousness of Pangu's essence and blood lies in the incomplete Tao rhyme, and it is precisely because of this incomplete Tao rhyme that Li Yi can successfully cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm under the advantage of possessing the Chaos Spirit.

  In the midst of chaos, there was endless emptiness, a vast expanse, fraught with danger. After countless calculations, combining the information from his ancestors and later generations, Li Yi finally determined his own path to immortality, that is, the path of flesh and blood immortality, the law of willful performance.

  Actually, Li Yi also considered going to grab one of the six sacred positions in the Purple Mansion, but that was unrealistic. The allocation of these positions is given by the Heavenly Way according to the needs of evolution, not randomly, so Li Yi can only take a detour, although it's extremely difficult, at least there's a way out.
