Primordial Era: A Counterattack Against Hongjun Daozu at the Start

All three of them benefited from Zhou Yi's help and reached the level of a Great Immortal, so they naturally paid special attention to Zhou Yi's situation.

"It will take at least a hundred years, or at most a thousand years, before I emerge from seclusion on my own," Zhou Yi replied with a smile.

The ancient ice crystal lamps within the Jade Palace Cave flickered on and off. Zhou Yi stroked the jade slip with the yin-yang double fish pattern on his fingertips, while the frost that had condensed on the green jade table spread along his black Taoist robe.

The time required for seclusion is like trying to divine a hexagram through fog; even the innate divination method cannot calculate the exact number of days.

The Emperor of Fire ignited an inextinguishable flame in his palm, branding a phoenix totem onto the black iron rock: "The fate of humanity is entrusted to us."

Before the words were finished, a phantom image of a nine-tiered celestial palace rose behind Youchao, with chains of laws in a mortise and tenon structure wrapped around his body; three thousand oracle bone characters flew out from Cangwen's sleeve, each character transforming into a golden-armored guard.

The three distinctly different auras of the Holy Path merged into a Bagua protective array before Zhou Yi.

Once the cave returned to silence, Zhou Yi drew his fingers across the void.

On the left side, frost flowers condensed in the air, and the Taiyin True Scripture transformed into an ice crystal phoenix that hovered; on the right side, the Golden Crow blazed, and the Taiyang True Scripture condensed into a three-legged divine bird.

Two ancient, opposing forces danced a yin-yang fish pattern in his palm, and the ground of the cave instantly cracked open, revealing a Tai Chi array.

When he looked inward at his spiritual platform, the phantom of a bronze immortal palace appeared in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The profound mysteries of the Imperial Scripture, which ordinary people could not comprehend even after a thousand years of cultivation, transformed into two intertwined dragon veins within his primordial spirit.

The dual spiritual energy of ice and fire surged through the twelve meridians, and ancient sacrificial chants emanated from every acupoint.

The great dragon with its spine raised its head and roared, supporting the six-tiered jade palace:

First Heaven: The Green Lotus of Chaos.

Double Heaven - Five Sacred Mountains Guard the Rivers and Mountains.

Three Heavens, Golden Body Crosses the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Four Heavens: Words spoken are followed by law.

Wu Chongtian: Time Flickers and It's Gone By.

Lu Chongtian: Hunyuan Proves Immortality.

Zhou Yi's hair ornament suddenly burst open, revealing half of his black hair covered in frost and the other half burning with golden flames.

The pupil of the left eye transformed into a moon, the right eye pulsated with the corona of the sun, and the patterns of the Hetu and Luoshu appeared on the surface of the skin.

The Yin and Yang Scriptures collided in his Purple Mansion, creating a dazzling light that annihilated stars. If it weren't for the Kongtong Seal hanging at his waist timely releasing the Xuanhuang Qi, the entire cave would have been torn apart by the violent law turbulence.

As the thirty-six cycles of the heavens were completed, the Zhouyi Heavenly Spirit burst forth with a beam of purple and gold light, piercing through the nine layers of clouds.

The primordial sky suddenly revealed the extraordinary phenomenon of the sun and moon shining together, startling the innate cranes atop Kunlun Mountain, which collectively flew south, and the Chaos Bell beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens rang out without wind.

With the completion of the Sendai Secret Realm, Zhou Yi is about to embark on his cultivation journey toward the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Once he advances to the level of Quasi-Emperor, his strength in the primordial world will be comparable to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

It is worth noting that there is no specific cultivation method for the Quasi-Emperor stage. Instead, it requires improving the five secret realms from proficiency to perfection and sublimating the Holy Path Law to the Supreme Law.

During the process of reaching the ninth level of Quasi-Emperor, when the five major secret realms reach perfection, one can attempt to break through to the peak realm of Great Emperor.

Although there were no specific cultivation methods, Zhou Yi found a way to optimize his cultivation path through systematic guidance, ensuring that the five secret realms were flawless.

This not only increases the possibility of breaking through to the Great Emperor realm, but also increases the chances of success.

With the help of the true scriptures, the Zhouyi began its exploration.

His first challenge was how to study both classic texts simultaneously.

In theory, the combination of the power of the moon and the sun can achieve a balance of yin and yang, with mutual generation and mutual restraint. However, in practice, the two are like water and fire, incompatible and difficult to coexist.

Zhou Yi was well aware of the difficulty of this process, but he was not impatient.

Sitting under the ancient Bodhi tree, he gradually came to understand a profound truth.

Gradually, he discovered that the Yin and Yang energies within his body began to flow harmoniously. Although they were not yet fully integrated, this was already a significant step forward, paving the way for his subsequent cultivation.

As time passed, Zhou Yi continued to improve, successively crossing the first to third levels of the Sendai Heaven, and growing into a Dao-Slaying King.

He continued forward until he reached the sixth level of Sendai, gradually approaching the ultimate limit of the Sendai Secret Realm.

Finally, after a long period of time, Zhou Yi successfully cultivated the sixth level of Sendai to a perfect state.

At this moment, the originally opposing forces of Yin and Yang within his body miraculously merged into one.

All of these achievements are inseparable from that magical ancient Bodhi tree, which allowed Zhou Yi to remain in a state of enlightenment and greatly accelerated his cultivation process.

"It's time for the final sprint!" Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes and announced loudly.

In an instant, the clear sky turned into a thick cloud cover, thunder roared, and a powerful sense of oppression swept over us.

Just as Zhou Yi finished his cultivation in the Sendai Secret Realm and was preparing to challenge for the position of Quasi-Emperor, the Heavenly Tribulation descended once again.

At this moment, Zhou Yi was radiating a dazzling light, and a powerful aura shot straight into the sky, signifying that he was about to ignite the flame of a quasi-emperor.

Thunder roared in the sky, deafeningly loud.

A massive bolt of lightning ripped across the sky, shattering the tranquility of the earth, shaking the entire primordial world, and filling countless humans with terror.

This is the quasi-emperor tribulation that Zhou Yi is about to face. Its scale far exceeds that of when he first entered the Sendai Secret Realm, and the power it contains is so strong that it is terrifying.

Lightning crackled and formed dragon-like shapes that danced in the air, their tails slashing fiercely at Zhou Yi's body.

Zhou Yi's expression was serious, because this tribulation was not only exceptionally difficult, but also far more complex than simply becoming a quasi-emperor.

In this ordeal, Zhou Yi will not only face the test of advancing his cultivation to the Quasi-Emperor realm, but also the requirement that his physical strength must reach the Quasi-Emperor level.

During his secluded cultivation, Zhou Yi not only raised his cultivation level to the Quasi-Emperor level, but also brought his ancient sacred body to that level.

This dual breakthrough means that the I Ching will gain unparalleled combat power, but at the same time it will also face unprecedented challenges.

The dragons and snakes twisted in the void, eventually transforming into nine giant blue-scaled dragons. They were as huge as mountains, each one lifelike, emitting awe-inspiring roars, as if they were real creatures.

These colossal dragons, capable of piercing the heavens above and suppressing the netherworld below, seem to be composed of more than just lightning.

The azure dragon coiled around, its mouth wide open, its claws outstretched, seemingly wanting to devour the heavens and earth, and charged straight at Zhou Yi, intending to destroy him.

Zhou Yi shone with a sacred light, and the blood in his body surged like a tsunami, demonstrating the unparalleled power of his ancient sacred body.

For the I Ching, this is a crucial moment.

If he can successfully overcome this difficulty, he will surely gain a place even in the primordial world where masters gather.

With a deafening roar, a colossal dragon lunged at Zhou Yi with a force powerful enough to destroy everything.

Zhou Yi thought to himself that even among the dragon race, there were very few beings as powerful as him.

Faced with the approaching dragon, Zhou Yi showed no fear. Instead, he took the initiative to attack, using his ancient sacred body to fight the dragon.
