Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

In the courtyard atop the central peak of the Five Elements Grotto, a figure sat cross-legged on a tea tree, meditating on the Dao. Daoist sounds resounded around his body, and spiritual energy surged into him like a tide.

Suddenly, the sound of the Dao faded away, the Daoist rhyme dissipated, and the violent spiritual energy also quieted down in an instant.

The figure slowly opened its tightly closed eyes, a glint of light flashed, then dimmed, becoming very calm and profound.

After a century of secluded cultivation, his newly attained Golden Immortal cultivation has not only been completely stabilized, but he has also taken another step forward, reaching the peak of the early Golden Immortal stage.

He shook his sleeves, got up, and went to the courtyard gate that had been closed for a hundred years.

"Congratulations, Master, on your great progress in cultivation!" As the strange phenomenon in the courtyard dissipated, Queen Bee Ziyu, who had rushed to wait outside the door, quickly bowed down, her voice trembling slightly.

Huang Long nodded and looked at the Queen Bee. "Hmm, not bad, your cultivation has improved a lot, you've already reached the peak of True Immortal. It seems you haven't been slacking off these past hundred years."

He then asked, "Has anything happened in Ziyu over the past hundred years?"

Ziyu hurriedly said, "Reporting to Master..." but before she could finish, Huanglong interrupted her with a frown.

"From now on, just call me Master. Calling me Master sounds awkward."

"Yes, Master...yes, Sir..."

Ziyu changed her form of address and continued, "Reporting to Master, everything is normal within the cave. However, several decades ago, a man who called himself Xuandu came to visit you. But you were in seclusion at the time, so he left, saying that he would come to visit you again after you came out of seclusion."

She paused, looked at Huang Long's expression, and saw that his eyes had softened a bit before continuing, "About ten years ago, an old man who claimed to be your senior brother also came. Seeing that you were still in seclusion, he asked me to give this to you after you came out of seclusion." She carefully took out a piece of green jade slip.

With a wave of his hand, Huang Long sent the jade slip flying into his hand.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Senior Brother Antarctic's voice rang in his mind: "Junior Brother Huanglong, congratulations on breaking through the Golden Immortal bottleneck and becoming an Immortal Golden Immortal! From now on, you will live as long as heaven and earth, and the Great Luo realm is within reach!"

"Now, our three masters are in seclusion, comprehending the sacred path. We, the disciples of the Three Pure Ones, are strangers to each other. I have consulted with Guang Chengzi, Junior Brother Duobao under Uncle Tongtian, and Junior Brother Xuandu under Grand Uncle, and we plan to hold a Three Pure Ones Disciples' Dao Discussion Meeting at Senior Brother's Jade Pillar Cave. We invite all fellow disciples of the Three Pure Ones to participate. Firstly, it will allow all fellow disciples to get to know each other and strengthen the bonds between our sects; secondly, it will be a place to sit and discuss the Dao, exchanging and verifying our understanding of the Great Dao. I hope you will attend on time after you emerge from seclusion." The voice faded, and the jade slip transformed into specks of clear light and dissipated in Huanglong's palm.

"The Three Pure Ones' disciples are discussing the Dao... Senior Brother Antarctic, what a good idea," Huang Long said in a low voice. He had just emerged from seclusion and needed to rest for a while, and also wanted to know what changes had taken place in the primordial world over the past century. There were still about three years until the Dao Discussion Conference, so there was no rush.

Huang Long first surveyed the current state of the Five Elements Grotto, then used his supernatural power, the Sweet Rain Technique, to water all the white lotuses, crimson dates, enlightenment tea trees, and other immortal herbs and medicinal plants within the grotto several times.

The white lotus had already sprouted a lotus bud, and it was an extraordinary sight. There was a great chance of obtaining a high-grade innate spiritual lotus. Huanglong took special care of it and kept its sweet rain flowing for several days in a row.

The Crimson Jujubes in the Jujube Garden had already begun to bear fruit after more than a hundred years of growth. Although they were not considered spiritual roots, they were still rare spiritual fruits that took three years to mature, three years to flower, and three years to bear fruit. The fruits that had matured twice before were all picked and preserved by Ziyu.

As for the Enlightenment Tea Tree, it has grown to a great height, and all the Enlightenment Tea leaves it produces are on the tree, ready to be picked at any time.

For a full month, all the spiritual roots and immortal plants in the Five Elements Grotto Heaven, nourished by the life-giving rain, experienced a significant increase in their life essence.

Some exceptionally promising immortal plants even have the potential to transform into acquired spiritual roots.

When all the spiritual roots and immortal plants stopped absorbing the life force from the sweet rain, Huanglong stopped the evolution of his supernatural powers, leaving the rest to time; whether it succeeded or not was irrelevant.

After settling everything in the cave, he decided to visit Xuandu first.

Deep in the Kunlun Mountains, on a small hill beside the Sanqing Peak, Xuandu's Daoist practice site was very simple. An old pine tree, a stone hut, and a spring bubbling with spiritual energy. Xuandu, dressed in a pure white Daoist robe, sat by the spring, watching the Sanqing Peak where the Three Pure Ones were in seclusion. Beside him were a jade pot and two jade cups.

Xuan Du's body was surrounded by the laws of the Great Dao, and his cultivation was growing rapidly. He had now reached the peak of the Xuan Immortal realm and was only one step away from becoming a Golden Immortal.

A flash of golden light appeared on the horizon, piercing through the clouds, and the Yellow Dragon descended.

"Ha! Senior Brother Huanglong, you've finally decided to come out?" Xuandu looked up, not surprised at all, and instead chuckled, picking up the jade pot to pour tea. A slightly bitter aroma of tea wafted out. "Senior Brother is truly diligent, having been in seclusion ever since arriving in Kunlun, making Xuandu feel ashamed."

He placed the teacup in front of Huang Long and said, "Please have some of my coarse tea, senior brother. It tastes quite good."

Huang Long didn't stand on ceremony and sat down on the stone stool opposite Xuan Du, picking up his cup. The cup was warm and smooth to the touch. The tea was bitter at first, then sweet.

"Excellent tea," Huang Long praised.

He put down his cup. "Xuan Du, it's been over a hundred years. Your cultivation has improved, and your tongue has become more witty?"

Huanglong looked at Xuandu and sighed, "In just over a hundred years, you've reached the peak of the Xuanxian realm, just one step away from catching up with me. It really makes me unhappy. I've cultivated diligently for hundreds of thousands of years, and it's still not as good as your hundred-odd years of cultivation."

Xuan Du's smile faded slightly. He took a sip of tea and looked at the distant mountains: "Junior brother has the advantage of having a powerful backer, while senior brother built his success from scratch. Junior brother is still far behind."

Xuan Du chuckled, said nothing more, poured out the tea leaves from the teapot, and said to Huang Long, "Senior Brother, I've drunk my bitter tea. Quickly bring out your Enlightenment Tea; I haven't had it for over a hundred years, and I've been missing it terribly."

Looking at the teapot handed over by Xuandu, Huanglong shook his head helplessly, took out a jade box, opened the lid, picked up three tea leaves from the surface and put them into the teapot, then handed the teapot back to Xuandu, asking him to boil water and brew tea. Seeing that Xuandu's eyes were still fixed on the jade box in his hand, Huanglong smiled helplessly and threw the jade box over, which Xuandu hurriedly caught.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Xuandu brewed the tea again and poured tea for Huanglong. The two sat facing the spring and the old pine tree, drinking the Enlightenment Tea, chatting about the changes in Kunlun and their respective thoughts on cultivation. Xuandu's words were incisive, while Huanglong was not talkative, but always got to the point. Time passed by unnoticed.

Huanglong bid farewell to Xuandu and returned to his own dojo, spending his days traveling back and forth between the Five Elements Grotto and the Xuanhuang World Pearl.

On this day, it was time for the disciples of the Three Pure Ones to discuss the Dao. Huanglong instructed Ziyu to take good care of the house, and then rode a cloud towards the Daoist temple of the Antarctic Immortal.
