Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Above the vast Eastern Sea, two figures descended from the sky.

Beneath their feet lay a massive island in the far east of the East China Sea, a location that Di Jun had already chosen.

The island is ring-shaped, with several fire-elemental spiritual veins at its base. In the center is a huge lake filled with rising spiritual energy. The lake water is warm and contains rich fire spiritual power. The surrounding mountains form a natural barrier.

"The earth's veins here connect to the primordial land, and there are also natural innate fire veins converging here. It is perfect for the survival of the Fusang Tree without causing any damage, and it can also gather the essence of the sun. I will name it 'Tang Valley'," Di Jun said to Taiyi.

Immediately afterwards, Di Jun took out the Hetu Luoshu, and Taiyi offered up the Chaos Bell to conceal the secrets of heaven, draw upon the power of the stars in the heavens, and combine it with the natural terrain of Tang Valley to set up a "Star Sealing Array".

Once the formation was complete, the entire Tang Valley seemed to have separated from the primordial world, appearing from the outside as just an ordinary sea area.

Those who are not saints or highly skilled in the secrets of heaven are completely unable to detect its existence.

Afterwards, Di Jun and Tai Yi joined forces to create an area on the shore of the lake in the center of Tang Valley. The bottom of the area was covered with solar fire essence before the mulberry tree was planted.

The divine tree landed and instantly took root. Its roots penetrated the essence of the sun's fire at the base and went deep into the innate fire elemental vein. Its canopy grew in the wind and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a towering tree and returned to its original form.

The golden-red canopy of the hibiscus tree covered the entire Tang Valley, drawing in the primal power cast by the sun and transforming it into a gentle yet vibrant solar primal power that rained down like light, turning this island into a sacred place most suitable for the growth of the Golden Crow.

Taiyi gently shook the Chaos Bell, and ten adorable little golden crows appeared in the Valley of Tang.

When the little golden crows entered this place, although they were very surprised to be in an unfamiliar environment, they did not feel uneasy at all!

Sensing that Dijun and Taiyi were both beside them, and the same gentle aura emanating from the Fusang tree, they chirped joyfully, chasing each other and flying around the Fusang tree.

With the combined suppression of the Star Sealing Array and the Fusang Tree, the ten little golden crows could not easily draw down the primordial power of the Sun Star. Although they continued to emit true solar fire, it was all absorbed by the Fusang Tree, and even the lake water in the center of Tang Valley failed to evaporate.

After a while of noisy frolicking, the ten little golden houses lost interest in this new area and gathered around Dijun and Tai, chattering away!

"Father! Father! This place is no fun at all! When are we going back to Heaven?"

"Yeah, it's too small here! And there isn't a single demon here, it's not fun at all!"

"......!"

Faced with the chattering noise of the little golden crows, Di Jun said sternly, "From now on, you will cultivate here. You can leave when you break through to the Great Luo realm!"

The already restless little golden crows felt as if the sky had fallen. They were only at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and there was still a Taiyi realm between them and the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

When the little golden crows saw Di Jun's serious expression, they knew that their father was serious and not joking with them.

So they all changed their target and surrounded Taiyi, constantly pleading with him:

"Uncle, please persuade Father! Take us back to Heaven, okay? We'll never be naughty again!"

"Yes! Yes! We'll definitely be good and never be naughty again!"

"Uncle, I miss Mother! Please take me back to her!"

"..."

Taiyi looked at the few little golden crows hanging on his body with a headache, then looked at Dijun with his eyes full of helplessness!

Di Jun didn't even glance at Taiyi; with a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

Taiyi finally managed to pull the few little golden crows that were clinging to him off, and said earnestly, "Cultivate diligently. With your talent, it won't take you long to reach the Great Luo realm!"

"Then you can go wherever you want! Your father won't interfere anymore!"

"You should rest and cultivate here for a while. Your uncle will bring you some good things!"

"No! Uncle, don't abandon us!"

"..."

Under the watchful eyes of many reluctant viewers, Taiyi flashed out of the great formation and left Tanggu. He found that Dijun had not left, but was talking with a middle-aged man dressed in green, who was Qinglong, one of the last remaining ancestors of the Dragon Clan.

Taiyi flashed to Dijun and Qinglong's side, cupping his hands in greeting to Qinglong:

"Taiyi greets Fellow Daoist Qinglong!"

"Azure Dragon greets Fellow Daoist Taiyi!"

Qinglong sensed the vast aura emanating from Dijun and Taiyi, a complex look flashing in his eyes. In just a few huiyuan, the cultivation of these two brothers was now almost on par with his own.

"How truly unpredictable!"

The demon race today is so similar to the dragon race of the past. With the blessing of their clan's fortune, everything becomes simple. But if the clan's fortune begins to decline, then everything they have gained before will be lost in the same way they gained it!

Taiyi saw that Qinglong had greeted him but then remained silent, staring directly at him. He asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Qinglong, why are you looking at me like that?"

Upon hearing Taiyi's voice, Qinglong snapped out of his daze and felt a wave of fear wash over him, realizing that he had actually been distracted at that moment.

The influence of karma is truly terrifying; it is indeed omnipresent. If one is not careful, one will fall into its trap, especially those beings who are favored by the fortune of heaven and earth, who are most easily affected!

Qinglong cupped his hands in a gesture of apology to Taiyi, saying, "I was just recalling some past events. Please forgive me if I said anything inappropriate!"

"It's good that Fellow Daoist Qinglong is alright!"

At this moment, Qinglong looked at Tanggu behind Taiyi and said to Dijun and Taiyi, "You've settled these little fellows in my East Sea. It seems your demon race is about to descend from the Heavenly Realm!"

"They intend to attack my Dragon Clan across the Four Seas!" The Azure Dragon's voice carried a hint of solemnity.

"Fellow Daoist Azure Dragon is joking. Placing my offspring in the East Sea precisely demonstrates that I have no ill intentions towards the Dragon Clan!"

"I'm not at ease in other places, but here, I hope Fellow Daoist Qinglong and Ancestral Dragon will take good care of my children!"

Azure Dragon said somewhat helplessly, "Fellow Daoist, please don't joke. The Ancestral Dragon is currently trapped in the Sea Eye, and I am also burdened with the karma of the Dragon Clan. If you hadn't proactively revealed your aura, I wouldn't even have known when you appeared in the East Sea, let alone how to take care of you!"

"I won't disturb you two any longer. You're welcome to visit the Dragon Clan for tea sometime. Farewell, Azure Dragon!"

After Qinglong finished speaking, he cupped his hands to Dijun and Taiyi, then his figure flashed and disappeared into the water.

Di Jun and Tai Yi concealed their presence, watching the noisy little golden crow in the great formation while conversing with each other!

In Tang Valley.

The little golden crows watched Taiyi's disappearing figure, and after making a fuss for a while, they still did not see Dijun and Taiyi appear.

Only then did they truly believe that Di Jun was not joking with them!

They knew that until they broke through to the Great Luo realm, they would be forever trapped within this formation!

The little golden crows landed on the huge branches of the Fusang tree, absorbing the sun's essence emanating from the tree, and began their first cultivation in their bird life.

……

Years later, outside the Tang Valley Formation, Di Jun watched as his child, who had started as a group of little golden crows and diligently cultivated until becoming the first to break through to the Taiyi Realm, never stopped smiling like a father!

He turned around, instantly transforming back into the lofty, supreme form of heaven and earth, and addressed Bai Ze and Taiyi, who were already waiting beside him:

"From this day forward, you and the other demon saints will take turns descending to the mortal realm, partly to lead the demon race to wipe out those races that are unwilling to join the Heavenly Court from the primordial world." His tone was filled with chilling killing intent.

"Secondly, it's to compete with the Wu tribe for territory on the primordial land, to let those barbarians know that our demon race has returned!"

"Thirdly, in my spare time, I come here to teach these children cultivation, to help them master their supernatural powers, and to understand the ultimate principles of heaven and earth!"

Bai Ze bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, we will do our utmost to teach the Crown Prince!"
