Before the Taoist Ancestor opened the way of Immortal Path, the cultivation systems in the Primordial Era were numerous.
Body Refining, Soul Condensation, Qi Refining, Blood Sacrifice, Harvest Supplementation, Dual Cultivation...
These cultivation systems were complex and chaotic, without a clear and complete division of realms.
It was not until Hong Jun Taoist Ancestor pioneered the Immortal Path cultivation method, focusing on Primordial Spirit cultivation, comprehending the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and imparting this method to all species in the Primordial, that the Immortal Path became the mainstream cultivation system and also obtained a clear and complete division of realms.
Unfortunately, although Yu Yuan tried to practice the Immortal Path, with his initial step into it, he became a superior Profound Immortal, but then... there was no follow-up.
The more he practiced the way of the Immortal Path, the more his Dao Xing realm regressed.
Thus, he simply gave up the cultivation method of the Immortal Path and turned to cultivate the Ancient Body Cultivation Path.
This method was modeled after the Witch Clan and its origin is untraceable; simply put, it involves continuous tempering and testing to fuse the flesh, physique, Essence Qi, Divine, and Spiritual Energy into one.
No longer borrowing the strength of Heaven and Earth, but concentrating all sorts of immense power within oneself, forging an unparalleled physical body.
With the state of Reverse Action, this path was undoubtedly his best choice.
After long years of tempering, he finally refined a physical body comparable to the Ancestor Witch.
If he fully released his aura, it would resemble the initial Heavenly Gods during Creation of Heaven and Earth, with myriad divine lights and thousands of auspicious radiance; if his Qi-Blood is not hidden, it could penetrate Heaven and Earth, soaring directly into the sky.
However, as a direct disciple of the Saint, with the Saint blocking his aura for him and his own deliberate concealment, those whose Dao Xing realm is insufficient cannot see his extremely vibrant Qi-Blood.
To ordinary Immortal Gods, only the True Mysterious Light that ceased to grow or diminish after his trial with Immortal Path cultivation could be seen hovering above his head!
Speaking of Immortal Path cultivation, he is indeed just a superior Profound Immortal.
But if we speak of the Ancient Body Cultivation Path, he has already reached its pinnacle!
These are two completely different cultivation systems; one focuses on cultivating the Primordial Spirit and comprehending the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, the other focuses on tempering the physical body and gathering the supreme power unto oneself...
Even though he has reached the pinnacle on the Body Cultivation path, he is still just at the beginner phase in the Immortal Path.
This does not conflict.
Of course, if someone regards Yu Yuan merely as a Profound Immortal, what awaits them is a fist comparable to an Ancestor Witch!
Like now, the Cicada Daoist who has yet to achieve the Dao Fruit of Daluo naturally cannot see through, the terrifying power hidden under the body wrapped in Yu Yuan's Daoist robe.
Seeing the True Mysterious Light emerging above Yu Yuan's head and hearing him speak with a tone similar to that of an Elder from the Fiery Sun Sect, he preconceived that this was merely a native of the Earth Immortal Realm at an early stage of Immortal Path.
A local frog in the well!
Cicada Daoist did not say much, directly stretching out his right hand transforming it into a Giant Spirit God Palm that obscured the sun and moon, as if swatting a fly, striking towards Yu Yuan with utter indifference and superiority.
Yu Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile, his counterstrike was even faster, he also stretched out his right hand transforming it into a giant palm, and "bang", he caught Cicada Daoist's wrist mid-air, then with a flick of strength pulled him up into the air, swung forcefully, and smashed him hard onto the ground.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion erupted in the mountain forest, echoing under the clear blue sky.
The villagers living in that village turned their heads towards the direction of the sound, their faces showing shock and fear.
They saw dust rising from the mountain forest where Cicada Daoist made intimate contact with the ground, creating a huge deep pit.
Despite being the leader of the five insects, with a physique not at all weak, although he felt dizzy from the impact, he was not seriously injured.
He climbed out of the deep pit, looking bewilderingly towards Yu Yuan, with a big question mark seemingly flashing over his head.
This makes no sense!
How could a mere native of the Earth Immortal Realm, a local frog in the well, withstand his slap and even reverse it to send him flying out?
There must be some mistake!
Cicada Daoist's eyes emitted a golden light, staring at Yu Yuan.
Yu Yuan, not knowing the importance of his eyes, naturally would not let him succeed, directly advanced with a flash, stretching out his large hand to seize him in his palm.
Cicada Daoist was both shocked and angry, with runes swirling around him, condensing into several extremely sharp spear points, stabbing towards Yu Yuan's palm, attempting to break free.
However, these spear points were unable to harm Yu Yuan in the slightest, leaving only a few shallow white marks on his skin, utterly useless.
His resistance was ineffective, his body grasped by Yu Yuan's large hand, felt like it was clamped in an iron ring, almost breaking into two.
"Let me...out!"
Cicada Daoist roared in shock and anger, as his body rapidly inflated, immediately breaking free from Yu Yuan's hand, with his aura skyrocketing.
In the next instant, a giant that was unimaginably huge appeared amidst the mountains.
With a chest as broad as a mountain wall, shimmering with golden light, eighteen arms stretching out from his sides like mountain ridges, muscles tough and strong like overlapping peacock feathers.
Each arm filled with terrifying power capable of destroying the void, and behind him were six pairs of bright wings, fiery and intense.
The temperature within ten thousand miles quickly rose, as if entering the midsummer heat, and the nearby mountains and forests instantly turned yellow and dry.
The villagers from the distant village and the seriously injured Qi Refiners were all intimidated by the might of this giant, all kneeling on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
Even some Primordial Immortal Gods passing by this place were now staring wide-eyed, their expressions eager as they looked this way.
Fatian Xiangdi Great Divine Power!
Since ancient times until now, few have managed to cultivate this divine skill — all are one in ten thousand talents!
"Kill!"
Daoist Cicada bellowed angrily, and the giant with six wings and eighteen arms threw his punches.
People with strong physical bodies always prefer to use strength to break through clever tricks.
Daoist Cicada was no exception.
His attacks were simple and direct, opting for the most violent means to destroy everything.
The only difference was that he had more fists than others.
"Bang bang bang..."
His eighteen arms swung like pile drivers, pounding their fists towards Yu Yuan.
The speed was so fast that the shape of the arms was no longer visible, only streaks of golden light continuously bombarding.
In just an instant, he had thrown millions of punches!
With every punch he threw, numerous invisible ripples and black lightning-shaped cracks appeared, a result of the space unable to withstand such immense strength.
However, Yu Yuan had already witnessed his terrifying divine power before.
Back then, he needed to exert some effort to cope, but now he merely reached out a hand in front of him and captured all the tremendous force rushing towards him.
Seeing this, Daoist Cicada was stunned.
Although he had not proven himself as a Daluo, under the circumstances of using Fatian Xiangdi, he felt he could withstand a couple of moves even against an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal.
But this person, disguised as a Profound Immortal, effortlessly neutralized his offensive with just one hand.
"Who exactly are you?"
"The one beating you up!"
While speaking, Yu Yuan stretched out a huge hand that expanded countless times in an instant, grabbed Daoist Cicada by the ankle like he was swinging a straw man, lifted his massive body as tall as a mountain, and then smashed him onto a series of high mountains like a weapon, his actions simple and rough.
"Boom boom boom…"
The sound of the mountains shattering echoed.
One after another, the steep mountains thousands of feet tall were snapped at the waist, all defeated in the "head-on" clash with Daoist Cicada.
Daoist Cicada screamed, his bones broken in many places, his body battered and torn, and he could no longer maintain the appearance of a towering giant; he quickly returned to his original size.
"How boring."
Yu Yuan curled his lips, dragging him like tossing a dead dog back to the village, and threw him at the entrance of the village.
The eyes of the Fiery Sun Sect disciples who had been beaten down by Daoist Cicada flickered with fear.
Although Yu Yuan initially claimed to be from the Fiery Sun Sect, upon careful recollection just now, none of the disciples remembered having such an elder in their sect.
It was the middle-aged man who came forward, looking at Yu Yuan cautiously and asking, "Could it be that you are our Fiery Sun Sect's founding ancestor, the True Person of Red Sun?"
That was the only possibility he could think of.
Because the founder of the Fiery Sun Sect was the only one in their entire sect who had achieved immortality and had been in secluded meditation for thousands of years.
"Yes."
Yu Yuan nodded, going along with this identity.
The faces of the Fiery Sun Sect disciples instantly showed joy.
Such a fearsome Daoist was actually their sect's ancestor, didn't that mean they could walk sideways within tens of thousands of miles from now on?
By comparison, the peasants in the village were all like falling into an ice cellar, shaking with fear.
The middle-aged man looked at Yu Yuan respectfully and said, "Reporting to the ancestor, these lowly people did not obey our Fiery Sun Sect's command, failing to deliver the Green Spirit Ore on time, what do you think should be done?"
Yu Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "You can't even handle this small matter, and still come to ask me… Just kill them!"
The middle-aged man trembled, quickly nodding, "Yes, yes, I will handle it right away!"
Hearing the conversation between the two, all the peasants in the village collapsed, their eyes filled with despair.
Facing a Qi Refiner, these ordinary people didn't even have a chance to escape!
The middle-aged man looked around at the other Fiery Sun Sect disciples, shouted loudly, "Haven't you heard the words of our ancestor, why are you not moving quickly…"
Before he could finish speaking, a large hand came out of nowhere and smashed him directly into a pulp.
With blood splattering, a weak Primordial Spirit floated up, looking at Yu Yuan in shock and confusion, as if asking why.
Yu Yuan shrugged, "Isn't it quite normal for a great villain to be unpredictable in temper?"
