Breaking Through to Mid-Golden Immortal, Target: The Western Wilderness!

“Yellow Middle Plum, also known as Wood-Attribute Yellow Middle Plum, is formed from the very first primordial Wood-Attribute Essence at the dawn of heaven and earth—nothing could be purer.”

Since he was building a foundation, it naturally had to be the sturdiest foundation possible.

Yuan Lian made up his mind and rose to walk beneath the Yellow Middle Plum tree.

The divine tree shimmered with radiance, its essence merging with the laws of heaven and earth. As it absorbed the spiritual energy of the world, occasional traces of Dao charm spilled out, revealing the mysteries of the cosmos.

Primordial spiritual roots, like primordial spiritual treasures, all contained profound laws and great Daos.

Unlike spiritual treasures, however, the laws and Daos of primordial spiritual roots were mostly integrated into the surrounding environment, forming wondrous and mysterious domains—places of enlightenment.

They were both growing and protecting themselves.

Any force that sought to harm a primordial spiritual root would instinctively be suppressed by its domain.

Fortunately, Yuan Lian had no intention of refining the divine tree—he couldn’t bear to part with it either.

He only needed to condense a single strand of pure primordial Wood-Attribute Essence and refine it into one of the Five Energies within his chest.

Yuan Lian gently placed his right hand on the tree trunk and conveyed his intent through his divine sense.

The divine tree had its own spirit and would naturally understand his wish.

*”Rustle, rustle, rustle!”*

Sure enough, the branches of the Yellow Middle Plum swayed gently.

Then, a branch about a hundred *zhang* thick and ten thousand *zhang* long fell from the sky.

“Thank you!”

Yuan Lian expressed his gratitude, swept his sleeve to receive the branch, and began refining it.

His surging magical power enveloped the branch, slowly refining it bit by bit.

In just a few hundred years, the branch had been transformed into a mass of emerald-green energy that drifted through the void.

“Absorb.”

Yuan Lian muttered softly and integrated this pure primordial Wood-Attribute Energy into his liver.

*Boom!!*

At that very moment, an invisible barrier seemed to shatter. His vast magical power was gradually infused with the pure wood energy, and together with it, his cultivation base broke through to the Mid-Golden Immortal realm.

“I’ve broken through! This feeling… is amazing!”

Savoring the transcendent sensation of a breakthrough, Yuan Lian’s entire being felt elated.

Compared to the growth in his magical power, it was the deepening of his Dao comprehension that truly enraptured him.

That was the feeling of evolving to a higher life form, of comprehending the principles of reality and seeing the true nature of heaven and earth.

“With this primordial Wood-Attribute Energy as my source, I only need to continuously condense Wood-attribute laws or spiritual materials and roots to perfect it.”

“Then I will condense the other four energies, cultivate each to perfection, and break through to the Late-Golden Immortal realm.”

Having understood his future path, Yuan Lian had completely dispelled his confusion.

No longer would he rely solely on slow, grinding improvement as before.

“Next, continue refining the Pure World White Lotus, then reverse-refine the Three Lights Divine Water to reinforce the formation.”

With his cultivation base and magical power enhanced, the number of primordial divine prohibitions he could refine also increased.

This was a mutually reinforcing, mutually achieving process.

But this kind of privilege was only suited to “tycoon”-class primordial spirits.

For those born without accompanying spiritual treasures, or only with low-grade primordial spiritual treasures, such treatment was utterly unattainable.

Time passed swiftly.

This round of refinement took only a single *kalpa*.

Not because Yuan Lian was being lazy, but because he had once again reached his limit.

“I only managed to refine two more divine prohibitions. The prohibitions get stronger the further you go,” Yuan Lian said with some helplessness.

The magical power of a Mid-Golden Immortal was more than ten thousand times that of an Early-Golden Immortal, yet it only allowed him to refine two additional prohibitions.

“However, I even feel that the Pure World White Lotus, with fourteen divine prohibitions refined, can provide protective power equivalent to a Perfected Golden Immortal.”

“Add my own divine abilities and magical power, plus the twelve Fixed Sea Pearls, and as long as no Taiyi-level expert appears, I can protect myself without worry.”

Yuan Lian calculated the power of a Perfected Golden Immortal based on Dongwanggong’s strength multiplied by ten thousand. He didn’t know how powerful a Taiyi cultivator was, so he dared not jump to conclusions.

“Next: reverse-refine the Three Lights Divine Water, comprehensively strengthen the Three Talents Formation, then refine all twelve Fixed Sea Pearls, and then…”

“Venture into the Wilderness!”

Yes—whether it was to search for spiritual roots to condense the Five Energies in his chest, to seek treasures, or simply because he had grown restless from stillness and wished to experience the grandeur of the Wilderness—

he absolutely had to go out.

But before leaving, he had to make thorough preparations.

First, the formation needed comprehensive reinforcement—it was the foundation of his dojo and his retreat route.

Then, he needed to stockpile more Sunlight, Moonlight, and Starlight Divine Waters as hidden trump cards.

This Wilderness was far too dangerous.

It left Yuan Lian with no sense of security.

Just thinking back to when he had first taken form—if he hadn’t intuitively prioritized refining the island-protecting formation first, even his bones might not have remained.

Yuan Lian shook his head, cast aside the distracting thoughts, and waved his hand to bring out a mass of Three Lights Divine Water several *li* in size, beginning the reverse-refinement process.

—

The Wilderness was never a stage for just one being.

At the center of the Wilderness continent, an immortal divine mountain pierced through the sky and the nine abysses, bearing the weight of the eight directions of the universe.

This was the center of heaven and earth. No matter where one stood in the Wilderness, looking up, one could see that unyielding figure standing tall.

Its name was Buzhou. It was an indelible brand upon the countless beings of the Wilderness.

There it stood, silently, eternal and undying—the final will left behind by the supreme being of this world.

It was like a path to the Great Dao, leading to the absolute peak of the Dao.

Countless beings wished to tread this path and fulfill their yearning for the Dao.

But no one—no one—could set foot upon Buzhou. It was as if this place were a forbidden zone for all Wilderness life.

Infinite killing intent swirled around it, and awe-inspiring might spread through the heavens.

Only the mountain ranges surrounding the divine peak added a touch of life to this forbidden land.

In a mountain range that coiled like a true dragon, two brilliant divine lights suddenly erupted.

Dazzling radiance shone through the void and the heavens, illuminating billions of worlds and casting one scene after another.

Two primordial spirits were being born, and heaven and earth celebrated their arrival.

For one of these spirits, primordial Yin-Yang energy swirled—Yang energy rose, Yin energy sank—each transforming into a Dao body resembling Pangu’s form.

The other had a human torso and a serpent’s tail, with hidden traces of endless creation, profound and unfathomable.

At another corner of the Buzhou Mountains, twelve wills were gestating. They contained vast, boundless bloodlines, silently receiving the essence of heaven and earth to nourish themselves.

—

In the eastern Wilderness.

A vast, boundless mountain range, stretching for billions upon billions of *li*, spread across the four directions, immense and limitless.

Deep within the heart of the mountains, three wills intertwined, each interpreting profound and mysterious laws.

One was serene and non-striving, turning Yin and Yang, expounding the natural workings of all things under heaven.

One was vast and grand, interpreting the Dao-fruit of world-creation and the origin of the universe.

The last represented destruction—the path “from existence to nothingness”—guiding all things toward their end.

These three great beings, their Daos united as one, embodied the cycle of creation and destruction of the world itself!

—

In the far western Wilderness, the far northern Wilderness, the Nine Nether Blood Sea, the Vault of Stars…

Countless primordial spirits were born under heaven’s blessing, settling across the Wilderness.

—

Time flew by. Several *kalpas* passed in the blink of an eye.

Heaven and earth were still the same heaven and earth; the Wilderness was still the Wilderness—only now, it was more prosperous than before.

Traces of life began to spread across the eight directions of the universe. Reproduction and cultivation were the core themes.

It was a beautiful era. Though there were occasional disputes and conflicts, on the whole, it was peaceful—no unending flames of war. It was a golden age for cultivation.

Above the vast Eastern Sea, a flash of light streaked by. After dozens of *kalpas* of calm, a figure appeared over these waters.

“Target: The Western Wilderness!”
