Primordial Era: From the Creation Lotus to the First Disciple of the Three Pure Ones

These three treasures, though not innate, are still top-tier acquired spiritual treasures (close to the highest grade) from the primordial world. Their materials are extraordinary, and their crafting techniques are profound. When combined, they possess defense, speed, and spiritual protection, gleaming with golden light and exuding awe-inspiring power! They are clearly a set of top-tier battle armor born for war and existing solely for combat!

"This...this..." Sun Wuzhen looked at the golden chainmail, cloud-walking boots, and purple-gold crown floating in front of him, so excited that he could hardly speak!

When had he ever seen such a magnificent and powerful treasure? This was equipment he couldn't even dream of!

Qinglian was also deeply moved, and together with Sun Wuzhen, they bowed deeply to the Three Pure Ones: "Disciple (grand-disciple) Qinglian (Sun Wuzhen) thanks Master (Grandmaster) for his generous gift! We will certainly live up to this precious treasure, diligently cultivate, and protect the Dao!"

The Three Pure Ones nodded slightly, acknowledging the gesture.

After bestowing the treasures, the Three Pure Ones said no more.

Lao Tzu's gaze swept over Yuan Shi and Tong Tian, ​​who were immersed in the profound mysteries of the Primordial Purple Qi, and then looked at his disciples and grand-disciples below, who were well-established and possessed many treasures. He slowly said, "The position of saint has been secured, and the opportunity has been obtained. However, to attain the Primordial Chaos Realm, one still needs to work hard and comprehend it. We will go into seclusion to experience the Primordial Purple Qi and sort out our own Great Dao. You also need to concentrate on your cultivation and not slack off."

"We will respectfully obey the decree of our Master (Grandmaster)!" Qinglian and Sun Wuzhen replied respectfully.

The three Pure Ones flickered and returned to their respective palaces: Taiqing, Yuqing, and Shangqing.

The palace gates slowly closed, and a vast and profound Daoist aura spread out like a tide, enveloping the three Daoist palaces, clearly indicating that a deep seclusion had begun.

In the square, only Qinglian and Sun Wuzhen, whose eyes were shining with anticipation, remained.

"Master! Look!"

Sun Wuzhen could no longer restrain himself, and a thought arose in his mind.

The chainmail golden armor, lotus-silk cloud-walking shoes, and phoenix-winged purple-gold crown instantly transformed into streams of light covering the entire body! The dazzling golden armor protected the vital points of the body, and the streamlined design did not affect agility in the slightest;

The cloud-patterned boots made him feel as light as a swallow, as if he could step out of Kunlun in one stride;

The phoenix wings on the purple-gold crown were slightly raised, adding to its majestic and domineering aura! Coupled with the Ruyi Iron Pole weapon in his hand, which had a restrained dark light and soaring battle intent!

At this moment, Sun Wuzhen bears no resemblance to the desperate and helpless Six-Eared Macaque who was driven away by the Taoist boy. He is now a majestic and awe-inspiring golden-armored general who can fight against heaven and earth!

He excitedly leaped and bounded across the square, swinging his iron rod, creating streaks of wind and lightning, with golden and dark light reflecting off each other, his imposing presence astonishing! He couldn't help but let out excited low growls.

Seeing her disciple's overjoyed expression, as if he had received a beloved toy, Qinglian couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

He seemed to see the joy he felt when he first obtained the Xuanhuang Pagoda and the Pure White Lotus. However, as a master, he still needed to maintain his dignity.

"Alright, don't get carried away!"

Qinglian deliberately put on a stern face and scolded with a smile, "No matter how good the treasure is, it is ultimately an external thing! Your own cultivation and combat skills are the foundation! With such impetuousness, how can you be worthy of the grace bestowed by your master, and how can you truly unleash the power of this armor and divine weapon? Hurry up and put away your supernatural powers, return to your cave, and properly refine and nurture it, and comprehend the cultivation techniques and combat skills bestowed by your master!"

"Uh...yes! Master!"

When Sun Wuzhen was reprimanded by Qinglian, it was as if he had been doused with cold water. His high spirits instantly subsided, but the excitement in his eyes and his love for the treasure remained undiminished.

He quickly sheathed his armor and divine weapon, reverted to his ordinary clothes, grinned at Qinglian, and scratched his head: "Disciple...disciple is just too happy! I'm going back to cultivate now! I'm going back now!"

Having said that, he transformed into a golden light and flew back to his cave dwelling without waiting, clearly eager to experience the new equipment and consolidate his cultivation.

Only after watching her disciple's disappearing figure did Qinglian's smile truly bloom.

He shook his head, but his heart was filled with warmth. Sun Wukong's growth and transformation were the most gratifying gains he had made since entering the prehistoric world, aside from his own path of cultivation.

He took a deep breath, and the pure, innate spiritual energy of Kunlun Mountain flowed into his lungs.

His gaze swept over the auspicious clouds of heaven and earth, the Qiankun Diagram, and the nameless green sword floating in front of him.

The auspicious clouds of the heavens transformed into a warm and gentle cloud, slowly sinking into the top of the Azure Lotus, hovering above the primordial spirit, and cascading down countless auspicious energies to protect the entire body, preventing any magic from touching it.

The Qiankun Diagram transformed into a stream of light, merging into the dantian and dantian, hovering beside the Creation Lotus Seed and the Pure World White Lotus. It slowly unfolded, with the miniature phantoms of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers within it subtly echoing the Dao Domain of the Azure Lotus itself.

The nameless green sword was held in Qinglian's hand. The blade was icy cold, and the sharp sword intent flowed into her body through her palm, resonating strongly with the Daoist principles of Tongtian Master, who respected the way of the sword and seized life force.

He gently stroked the spine of the sword, feeling the destructive edge it contained, and thought to himself: "This sword has no name, yet it inherits the way of Heaven's Interception and contains the sharpness of creation... I shall call you 'Qingping'."

This name is not an overstepping of Master Tongtian's Qingping Sword, but rather takes its meaning from "the green lotus, its sharpness born of its own nature," and is also an expectation for one's own creation of the sword path. The sword trembled slightly, emitting a clear and melodious sword cry, as if in response.

After doing all this, Qinglian turned around and walked towards her simple jade palace.

The palace gates closed silently. Qinglian sat cross-legged on the central futon, her five hearts facing the sky, her mind sinking into the boundless realm of Tao.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique slowly circulated, and vast and pure magical power flowed endlessly within the body.

Auspicious clouds and light from the heavens descend from above, protecting the clarity of the primordial spirit; the universe diagram in the dantian evolves with profound space, expanding the Dao domain.

The intent of the Qingping Sword in his hand merged with his magic power, adding a sharp edge that could destroy all laws and seize life; the Xuanhuang Pagoda floated in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the pure white lotus of the Pure World shone brightly, together stabilizing his Dao heart.

He reviewed the Primordial Dao he had heard during the three lectures at Zixiao Palace and comprehended the realm of the sage as expounded by Hongjun Daozu.

Combining his own perseverance in climbing Mount Buzhou, the sublimation of being refined by the Pangu Jade Marrow, the fighting spirit in battling the Ancestral Witches and Great Witches, the sense of responsibility in teaching Sun Wuzhen, and the sincere filial piety in offering treasures to the Three Pure Ones... all these experiences and insights, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, are tempered and integrated in the furnace of the "Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique".

His realm as a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal was already as solid as a mountain. Now, with all his insights and the assistance of top-tier spiritual treasures, the invisible barrier leading to the late-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal realm became clearer than ever before!

He could almost see beyond the barrier an even more vast sea of ​​magical power, and a Daoist light that was even closer to the origin of the Great Dao!

Qinglian remained calm and focused, her mind completely absorbed in the moment.

Using the Xuan Yuan Gong to harmonize the stillness of Taiqing, the order of Yuqing, and the sharpness of Shangqing, he drew upon the auspicious clouds of the heavens to solidify his Dao foundation, borrowed the Qiankun Diagram to expand his Dao domain, and fused the Qingping Sword Intent to hone his sharpness. Under the clear radiance of the Pure World White Lotus and the protection of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, he launched a natural and inevitable assault towards the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

At the summit of Kunlun, a sea of ​​clouds surges.

The three Taoist palaces possess profound Taoist charm, nurturing the supreme power to break free from the cocoon and attain sainthood.

Within a jade palace, the Great Luo Dao Fruit silently undergoes its transformation. In a stone chamber nestled in the mountainside, the battle intent of wind and thunder intertwines with the divine weapon of Ruyi. Master and disciple, in this tranquil moment before the coming primordial storm, each immerse themselves in their own path of cultivation, accumulating the power to withstand the future's overwhelming waves. The chessboard of the primordial world has been laid out, and the pieces of the Kunlun lineage, in this quiet cultivation, are unknowingly blossoming with even more dazzling brilliance.
