Ma Yuan of Honghuang: Too Ugly, I’m Out. I’ll Safely Prove the Primordial Dao

He wakes up to find himself a wisp of primordial energy on Skull Mountain. Only after receiving his inheritance does he realize he seems to be Ma Yuan, the One-Qi Immortal of a later age.

Thinking of how foolish he was in the original timeline, abandoning the cultivation of the fine primordial qi he possessed instead of understanding the Sages’ great Dao, only to practice crooked arts by eating people and refining qi, Ma Yuan can only groan.

Fortunately, the Lich Tribulation has only just begun, Hongjun has only just attained the Dao, and, most importantly, Ma Yuan has awakened heaven-defying comprehension. There’s still time to turn things around.

With heaven-defying comprehension as his foundation, he uses the primordial qi from the start to work backward and derive innate ancestral qi, reforging his own potential.

He gathers the Five-Element Spirit Pearls, obtains the essence of the lunar and solar forces, forges a Yin-Yang Divine Demon Dao Body, and works backward to derive the Five Supreme Chaos Laws.

The Jie School?

That’s a giant trap. He absolutely won’t join!

The Chan School?

Yuanshi Tianzun favors Guangchengzi and cares about one’s innate potential. He absolutely can’t join!

The Western Religion?

Joining would mean working for Zhunti and Jieyin to repay their debts to the Heavenly Dao. Even a dog wouldn’t join.

So he takes Skull Mountain as his base, creates cultivation methods, masters divine abilities, refines spirit treasures, and builds his own faction, forging a path to the Dao that belongs to him alone.

Countless eons later, with a whole world on his back and the Underworld resting in his palm, he stands alone atop Skull Mountain, a forbidden zone.
