Primordial Era: I, Huanglong, have refined all the heavens, and will not join the Chan Sect.

Chapter 12: Bai Mi Becomes Taiyi, Heading to the Western Sea

At this stage, its function of suppressing the dead and stabilizing the underworld is not very effective and cannot be compared with the Evolved Sand Prison Array.

If this magical artifact falls into the hands of someone else, they might overlook this function.

However, Huanglong knew that, from a certain perspective, suppressing the dead and stabilizing the underworld was even more important than evolving the Sand Prison Formation.

In the present primordial world, there is not even an underworld, so the function of the Yellow Sand Town Prison Flag is indeed of little use.

However, after Houtu reincarnated and established the Netherworld.

Possessing this magical treasure will surely give you a certain degree of influence in the underworld.

If, during the establishment of the Underworld, one could also take advantage of the Yellow Sand Town Prison Flag, one might even be able to gain some merit.

If the merit Huanglong gained from repairing the earth's veins was a vat of water, then the merit generated from establishing the underworld was a great river.

Even if it's just a small portion, it would be enough for Huanglong to cleanse himself of his karma.

"It seems they've become allied with the Witch Clan."

Whether it's the karma that followed when he obtained the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, or this Yellow Sand Prison Banner, Huanglong will definitely have many interactions with the Witch Clan in the future.

However, the Wu Clan is too complex. After Hongjun preaches, they will become the main characters of the world along with the Demon Clan, attracting a great deal of attention.

Given Huanglong's current cultivation level, it would be far too dangerous for him to participate rashly. He should first hide in the shadows and focus on improving his cultivation.

At the very least, one must possess the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal to be qualified to intervene. The safest approach would be to wait until one becomes a Quasi-Saint or a Saint before revealing one's intentions.

Afterwards, Huang Long stopped thinking about it and used the Earth Escape Technique to burrow into the mountain covered by the Sand Prison Formation.

The Yellow Sand Town Prison Flag is an innate spiritual treasure containing the laws of earth and death. Logically speaking, the place where this treasure is located should also contain other corresponding natural treasures.

If we're talking about where we might find the innate Earth element, the location of the Yellow Sand Town Prison Flag is undoubtedly a highly likely place.

As Huang Long had suspected, after searching underground for decades, he found a wisp of earth-yellow gas containing a rich element of earth law.

This is precisely the innate Earth Qi that Huanglong has been searching for!

Looking back on his trip to Buzhou Mountain, Huang Long himself felt it was somewhat unreal.

Originally, he just thought he would try his luck at Buzhou Mountain and see if he could find a wisp of innate Wu Earth Qi.

As a result, he not only found the innate Earth Qi, but also obtained the top-tier primordial cultivation technique—the original Eight-Nine Arcane Technique, the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure—the Yellow Sand Prison Suppressing Flag, and a wisp of Pangu's aura. His cultivation level also improved to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

"This transmigrator, this extraterrestrial demon, is truly a wonderful person!"

Without the memories of the time traveler, Huanglong might still be holed up in Magu Cave, cultivating in seclusion, and would not have gone to the west to repair the earth's veins or come to Buzhou Mountain.

After reflecting on his feelings, Huang Long stopped thinking about it and continued walking down the mountain.

Having achieved all the objectives of this trip, it's time to leave Buzhou Mountain and head to the next destination.

There are only about two or three thousand years left until the end of Master Hongjun's current sermon. Time is of the essence, and we cannot afford to waste any more time.

"I just don't know if I can find any rice. I hope I don't lose my mount while I'm out here..."

Fortunately, this was Mount Buzhou, so no such blunder occurred.

Guided by the mysterious power of Buzhou Mountain, Huanglong spent over a hundred years finding Bai Mi sitting on a giant rock, hugging his legs and staring blankly.

"Sir, it's so good to know you're alright!"

Upon seeing Huang Long's figure, Bai Mi breathed a sigh of relief, a bright smile spreading across her face. She quickly jumped off the rock and ran to Huang Long's side on her short legs.

"What could possibly happen to me? Can't you have a little faith in your husband?"

Huang Long chuckled and gently pinched Bai Mi's fair cheek.

Huang Long thoroughly enjoyed this feeling of being cared for.

By this time, Huanglong had come to understand why there were always some people in the prehistoric world who were keen on taking on disciples; passing on the Daoist tradition was one of the reasons.

Another reason is probably that he doesn't want to be alone forever.

"Hehe, of course Bai Mi believes in Master!"

Bai Mi touched her cheek, which was slightly red from Huang Long's pinching, and revealed a simple, honest smile.

Then, as if she had just thought of something, she suddenly slapped her forehead. An aura that didn't belong to a Golden Immortal emanated from her. She tilted her playful little head back and said, as if seeking praise:

"Master, Master, look, I'm a Taiyi Golden Immortal now! Bai Mi hasn't disappointed you, has she?"

"Not bad, not bad, but becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal is just the beginning; we must not slack off in the future."

Huang Long smiled and patted Bai Mi's little head. He then gave her some pointers on her cultivation and made her transform into her crane form.

Huanglong sat cross-legged on the back of the crane and flew westward.

This time, Huanglong's destination was not the Western Lands, but the Western Sea.

Huanglong has only found the Qi of innate Geng metal and innate Wu earth; he is still missing the Qi of innate Gui water, innate Bing fire, and innate Yi wood.

The innate wood energy should be found near some innate spiritual roots.

However, time is running out, and the innate spiritual roots that Huanglong knows are not very close.

If something unexpected happens during the search, it may be impossible to escape before Master Hongjun finishes his sermon, and we will have to give up for the time being.

The easiest place to obtain the innate fire element is the immortal volcano. As a true dragon, Huanglong naturally could not go there in person.

However, Huanglong had two ideas on how to obtain these two kinds of innate energy.

One idea was to go to the Dragon Palace and make a deal with a powerful dragon.

Although the dragon race has declined, the treasures in the dragon treasury are still quite numerous, and there is a high probability that there is no shortage of innate energy.

Once Huanglong's magical power increases, he will become a Grand Immortal at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, and naturally he will have the opportunity to enter the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.

However, Huanglong did not possess any rare and precious materials of equal value, and even if he entered the Dragon Palace, he would not be able to trade for these two kinds of innate energy.

The second idea was that once Hongjun finished his sermon, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother would be appointed to take charge of the immortals.

At that time, the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother will send people to travel throughout the prehistoric world and register all the immortals.

This opportunity allows Huanglong to make contact with the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, and perhaps even trade for the innate Bing Fire and innate Yi Wood Qi.

However, the sermon at Zixiao Palace has not yet ended, and the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother have not yet sent anyone to travel throughout the prehistoric world and register all the immortals.

Furthermore, Huanglong doesn't possess any rare or precious materials that can be traded, so there's no need to rush things at this moment.

Compared to the innate fire and wood elements, the innate water element is easier to obtain, and there is certainly no shortage of it throughout the world.

Relatively speaking, the West Sea is safer and more conducive to Huanglong's plans than the East Sea, South Sea, and North Sea.

Furthermore, its proximity to the western lands makes it easier for Huanglong to continue repairing the western ley lines in the future.

Therefore, Huanglong set his sights on the West Sea, and if things went smoothly, the West Sea would become his place of residence.
