Chapter 4  A Century of Gu Refinement, Creating a New Secret Art!

The preciousness of a primordial spiritual treasure needs no further explanation. This was the era of the Second Great Calamity after the creation of heaven and earth. Although not all primordial treasures had found their owners yet as they would in later ages, they were still far beyond the reach of ordinary Golden Immortals.

Who would have thought that this seemingly reckless Zhuyan actually possessed such a treasure!

Chu Yuan carefully sensed the bead’s aura and the laws contained within it, and soon discerned its origin. Lower-grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure – Three Yin Bead!

A wisp of innate Three Yin Baleful Qi condensed into a treasure at the dawn of creation. It contained sixteen innate divine prohibitions, making it top-tier even among lower-grade primordial treasures.

This treasure excelled in corrupting spiritual treasures and souls, eroding vitality—it possessed extraordinary power. Most importantly, every primordial spiritual treasure contained a trace of Indestructible Primordial Light, nurturing unique laws. This was the best aid for comprehending the Grand Dao.

In later times, when Ancestor Hongjun taught the method of using primordial spiritual treasures to sever the Three Corpses, it relied precisely on this trace of indestructible light.

Chu Yuan weighed the Three Yin Bead in his hand, a faint smile appearing on his lips. Though its nature was dark and sinister, its power was undeniable.

Moreover, the pure Yin baleful force it contained seemed to align unexpectedly well with a type of Gu insect he planned to craft in the future—and with his plan to refine Zhuyan’s corpse!

“A fine treasure indeed! It was meant to be mine!”

Satisfied, Chu Yuan stored the Three Yin Bead away. Aside from it, there were no other notable treasures on Zhuyan’s body. After all, he was merely a late-stage Golden Immortal, not someone with great fortune. Obtaining a lower-grade primordial spiritual treasure was already a delightful surprise.

With a wave of his hand, Chu Yuan also stored away Zhuyan’s massive corpse in a storage pouch he had acquired long ago. This place was no longer safe. Although the battle was brief, the fluctuations of Golden Immortal-level power could easily attract the attention of other powerful beings.

He quickly cleared the battlefield, restored the cave’s formation, and laid down stronger protective wards around the area. Once all was done, Chu Yuan returned to the depths of the cave mansion, gazing at the icy, lifeless corpse of Zhuyan inside the storage pouch, his eyes turning contemplative and deep.

Time passed in silence. Within the cave, the flow of time was subtle and unceasing. Chu Yuan sat cross-legged at the center of a stone chamber. Suspended before him was the massive, lifeless body of Zhuyan.

His expression was utterly focused, hands weaving intricate and profound hand seals. Strands of magical power, imbued with the unique Dao charm of the Primordial Heaven Gu Scripture, coiled and permeated Zhuyan’s corpse like dense silk threads.

“Buzz—!”

After a hundred years, the corpse suspended mid-air suddenly trembled, and its tightly shut eyes snapped open. What appeared within them was not emotion, but absolute obedience and cold killing intent!

A terrifying pressure, equal to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, erupted from the Gu corpse’s body, flooding the entire cave mansion.

“It’s done!”

Chu Yuan’s eyes showed a trace of exhaustion—but even more so, undisguised joy.

[Peak Golden Immortal Gu Corpse]!

After a century of refinement, this Zhu Yan Gu Corpse had grown even stronger than it was in life, reaching the peak of the Golden Immortal realm!

Though it had lost its intelligence and magical powers, it now possessed the most terrifying combat instincts. Combined with its formidable body, immense strength, and perfect compatibility with Gu Dao power, it was undoubtedly a tremendous force in battle!

With a single thought, Chu Yuan commanded the towering hundred-zhang-tall Gu Corpse, and it respectfully dropped to one knee. The motion was smooth, completely devoid of stiffness.

“Rise,” Chu Yuan ordered mentally.

The Gu Corpse rose in response, standing silently to the side like a silent demonic god. Chu Yuan nodded in satisfaction. A century of toil had finally borne fruit. Yet, the surprises weren’t over.

Throughout the refinement process, Chu Yuan’s [Heaven-Defying Comprehension] talent had continued to operate. While refining the Gu Corpse, he also delved into the Primordial Heaven Gu Scripture, analyzed the mysteries of the [Three Yin Pearl], and studied the corpse’s innate Yin evil and ferocious energy.

These three elements interconnected and reinforced each other, sparking constant flashes of insight in his mind.

[You have deeply analyzed the Yin Sha Laws within the Three Yin Pearl, merged them with the ferocious aura of the Zhu Yan corpse, and integrated the core principles of the Primordial Heaven Gu Scripture. By drawing connections across these domains, you have comprehended a special Gu refinement method — the Three Yin Gu Refining Method!]

A brand new Gu refinement technique emerged clearly within Chu Yuan’s sea of consciousness. Three Yin Gu Refining Method—This method specializes in absorbing Yin Sha, filth, resentment, and other negative energies from the world as materials to refine Gu of the Yin, poison, or curse types, greatly enhancing their power.

It can also be used to refine and control Yin-type corpses and ghostly Gu minions. When combined with the power of the Three Yin Pearl, its effects are significantly boosted.

“Excellent! What a marvelous Three Yin Gu Refining Method!”

Chu Yuan clapped in praise.

If the Primordial Heaven Gu Scripture was the fundamental law of his path, then the Three Yin Gu Refining Method was the protective art for crafting Gu minions and tools.

It might seem less important on the surface, offering no direct breakthrough in cultivation, but that wasn’t the case. The path may be profound, but without the means to protect oneself along the way, one could never reach its end. Both were indispensable, complementing each other.

This secret technique not only greatly enriched Chu Yuan’s Gu Dao arsenal, but also allowed him to refine twelve innate divine seals from the Three Yin Pearl, granting him total control over it.

The pearl had now become not just a powerful weapon, but also an exceptional treasure for refining Gu and casting spells. With a Golden Immortal peak-level Gu Corpse for protection, mastery of the Three Yin Gu Refining Method, and the lower-grade innate Three Yin Pearl in his possession, Chu Yuan felt that his strength and hidden cards had once again soared.

He stowed away the Gu Corpse and the Three Yin Pearl, exited the secluded stone chamber, and stepped outside his cave abode. As he breathed in the vast, ancient, and endlessly mysterious aura of the Great Desolation, heroic passion surged within his chest.

“Ten thousand years of bitter cultivation, now bear fruit in a single moment. A hundred years of refining treasures, and I gain yet another trump card.”

Hands clasped behind his back, he gazed into the distance.

“It is said that in the early days of creation, the Great Desolation was littered with treasures. Now, in the midst of the Dragon-Phoenix Cataclysm, danger lurks everywhere—but it’s also the best time to fish in troubled waters and seize fortune!”

“Staying hidden in this cave will never make one truly great. It’s time to venture out and witness the vast, majestic world of the Great Desolation!”

A quiet decision was made in Chu Yuan’s heart.

He would leave this remote mountain valley and step into the broader world—to fight, to seize, to carve out a path of his own on the road of Gu Dao that leads to the heavens!
