Chapter 823: Connate Great Dao (2/2)
The strength contained in Bi Fang blood was too wild, so neither Lu Yun nor the little fox could swallow it directly. Instead, they had to slowly absorb its power through the breathing method. Since the little fox couldn’t cultivate here either, she’d learned Lu Yun’s breathing, nascent spirit, and body tempering methods for lack of any other skill.
Lu Yun didn’t dare pass down the cultivation methods he’d invented in the future to those of this time, lest that action lead to unperceived consequences. He could only take it slow and observe the heavenly dao in the process, trying to figure out where and when he’d been taken.
He was now certain that he’d been transported to the past, to an era much before Zhaoqing’s time.
……
It was another pleasant autumn day, and Lu Yun was training with his breathing method as usual. A fragrant flow of warmth steadily emerged from his embrace to enter his mouth and nose.
The energy within the Bi Fang blood entered his system and strengthened his constitution in tandem with the rises and falls of his chest.
He suddenly felt a stifling sensation in his chest—something was lodged there. Guided by instinct, he straightened his back and howled piercingly. A ball of tainted air ejected from his mouth and it felt like a weight had suddenly been lifted from him. A refreshing current of air circulated through his body via his meridians.
The Method of Life and Death!
He’d finally overcome that bottleneck and joined the ranks of being a cultivator again!
“As I expected… there’s no immortal dao here. It’s not the immortal methods that I’m practicing...” Lu Yun fell silent after a long while.
There had been an immortal dao before Emperors Fall. The three founders had read its cadence in the Immortal Myriadtree, the second greatest connate spirit root, and created their immortal dao accordingly. There had also been immortals and cultivators then; they’d just been in the minority.
Now, however, Lu Yun saw no immortal dao lingering between heaven and earth, despite becoming a cultivator again. It would appear that this was an era before even the three founders, when even the immortal dao hadn’t been born yet.
If one were to give a name to this era, it would be the “Prehistoric Era”. It likely predated the era of human dao.
Such is the most primal great dao between heaven and earth. The living is blind to the way of cultivation… The great dao of this world has been created by the divine spirits. The so-called altar spirits are the ancient divine spirits. Lu Yun exhaled deeply.
If I can come here, then there must be a way back! Yuchi Tianhuang went back in time to an era a hundred and fifty thousand years ago, but still came back safely. I’ll be able to find my way back once I’m powerful enough! His determination to return to his proper time and place was further cemented.
Although the Tome of Life and Death hadn’t returned to him, his Method of Life and Death had begun circulating again. The treasure must be hidden somewhere in his body. He would be able to activate it again once he gained enough power.
……
“Hahaha! From youth arise heroes!” a hearty voice suddenly rang out. “When I hurried to Ning Village this morning, I didn’t expect to witness little brother here breaking the postnatal shackles and ascending to the great connate dao! Felicitations are in order!”
His reverie broken, Lu Yun looked up to see a noble-looking young man dressed in luxurious furs. The young man was watching him with an infectious smile.
