Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Huang Long cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, disperse! Once I've cultivated the Golden Lotus of Merit, I'll hold a Lotus Banquet. I hope all of you fellow disciples will do me the honor of attending!"

Huang Long's words made everyone present beam with joy.

"Junior Brother Huanglong, just give the word, and we'll come right away!"

"When the time comes, Junior Brother Huanglong, don't hold back!"

Huanglong's expertise in cultivating spiritual roots is highly reliable, as evidenced by the abundance of spiritual roots and immortal herbs in his training ground.

"If this Golden Lotus of Merit is successfully cultivated, together with the White Lotus of Purification in Huanglong Dojo, Senior Brother Huanglong will have two innate spiritual roots."

These words shocked all the disciples present.

Two innate spiritual roots, while these disciples don't even have a single acquired spiritual root. How could they bear this?

Xuan Du, standing to the side, gave a strange smile in response to everyone's shock!

Just as these core disciples of the three religions were speculating about what wonderful things would appear at the Yellow Dragon Lotus Banquet, the three sages on the cloud bed exchanged glances.

The Sage Taiqing spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet clearly reaching the ears of every disciple: "The discussion of the Dao is over. Disciples, please return to your respective dojos and quietly contemplate what you have gained."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples bowed and said, "We will respectfully obey the decree of the sage!" After paying their respects to their master, they immediately vanished in a flash, their figures shining like twinkling stars.

However, with most of the disciples gone, only a handful remained in the arena.

"Xuandu of Renjiao."

"The Antarctic Immortal of the Chan Sect, Guangchengzi, Huanglong, and Chijingzi."

"The Jie Sect's Duobao, Jinling, and Wudang."

The remaining few looked at the others, all of them stunned. They exchanged glances, and each saw doubt and seriousness in the other's eyes.

Because what remains are all direct teachings from the sages of the three religions.

After all the other disciples had left, the cloud bed beneath the Three Pure Ones suddenly expanded, and an invisible holy might enveloped the few remaining people.

As time and space shifted, everyone felt a blur before their eyes and found themselves in a grand hall where a pill furnace occupied half of the area, instead of the Dao Discussion Platform.

Seeing the rising flames and fragrant aroma of medicine beneath the alchemy furnace, the disciples knew where they were.

...Taiqing Palace!

This is the place where the Sage Taiqing practiced alchemy and cultivated himself in seclusion on Mount Kunlun.

The Three Pure Ones remained seated high on their cloud bed, their gaze sweeping over their disciples below, whose expressions were somewhat solemn.

The Sage of Taiqing spoke slowly, his voice ethereal, echoing in the hearts of his disciples: "You are all true disciples of the Kunlun Three Pure Ones, inheriting our lineage and connected with the fortunes of the Three Teachings. There are some things I must tell you."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable then spoke, his tone solemn: "The reason why fellow Daoists Jieyin and Zhunti from the West have come here is not merely to preach the Dao. Even sages, having transcended worldly concerns, are observing the great changes in the primordial world."

The Tongtian Sect Leader's gaze swept over everyone with a sharp look, finally pausing slightly on Huang Long: "Several thousand years ago, you two senior uncles, along with the two Western Saints, all sensed a strange movement in the heavens."

"The demon race's fortune, which should have gradually stabilized and even shown signs of decline due to the endless bloodshed caused by the years of war between the Lich and the Demon race, has recently shown an unexpected upward trend!"

Xuandu, Duobao, Guangchengzi and the others all turned serious upon hearing what Tongtian Shengren said!

The demon race's fortune is increasing? This is no small matter!

Their master had already told them about the general trend of the prehistoric world. The Wu and Yao clans were the ones who had received the favor of the prehistoric heavenly Dao. The rise and fall of their fortune affected the entire prehistoric world!

Laozi nodded slightly: "This sudden and inexplicable change has left the celestial secrets in chaos. The two Daoist friends from the West are worried that the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao may change and cause disaster, so they came to Kunlun to discuss this matter with us and try to deduce the reasons behind it."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's gaze was profound as he continued, "We sages, with our divine senses, survey the entire universe and deduce the cause and effect of all things. Although the source of this change in the demon race's fortune is obscure, it is not without trace."

At this point, the three sages almost simultaneously turned their gazes back to Huanglong, who had quietly retreated behind Guangchengzi and was trying to minimize his presence.

Suddenly being stared at by the eyes of the Six Paths Saint, Huang Long felt sweat beading on his skin beneath his Daoist robes. His heart skipped a beat, and he thought, "It's here! I couldn't escape it after all!"

Huang Longtai raised his head, revealing an innocent expression.

He shook his head vigorously, his face displaying an innocent expression that said, "I don't know anything, I really don't know anything," his tone carrying seven parts grievance and three parts bewilderment:

"Master, Senior Uncle, Martial Uncle, why are you looking at me like this? I... I don't know! I've always been law-abiding, just farming outside... no, why have I never interfered in the affairs of the demon race in this primordial world!"

His mind was racing: 'I traded a tiny, newly blossoming white lotus for three innate spiritual roots from the demon race; this is weakening the demon race's fortune...!'

With its purifying power, it alleviated to some extent the internal hidden dangers and karmic entanglements caused by the lower-level demon race's practice of the "Demon Core Method," which violated the laws of nature, and the backlash of their own kind's blood and flesh.

This made the demon race more stable, allowing the lower-level combat power to be preserved and improved, and naturally increasing the overall strength and fortune.

However, Huang Long felt that this could only slightly delay and alleviate the internal losses of the demon race, and was still far from reversing the overall situation!

Who would have thought that such a subtle change could be so keenly observed by the five sages and elevated to the level of "abnormal growth in fortune"?

He was determined not to admit to this!

We can't accept all of it!

Huang Long, his neck stiff, looked "innocently" at the Three Pure Ones and emphasized, "This disciple merely made a fair trade with the demon race, each getting what they needed. The demon race gained fortune, but... this has nothing to do with this disciple! This disciple really just did a small business!"

His "defense" sounded to the Three Pure Ones as nothing less than a confession.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable remained expressionless, but the fingers holding the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi twitched slightly.

The Sage of Taiqing lowered his eyelids, as if he were wandering in the heavens, but his aura seemed to be even more "non-action".

The Tongtian Sect Leader's lips twitched slightly; he wanted to laugh but felt the occasion was inappropriate, so he finally let out a cold snort.

The three sages held partial authority over the Heavenly Dao, and with the slightest thought, they understood the cause and effect.

What angered them was that Huanglong, though seemingly honest, was quite adept at causing trouble!

On the Wu tribe's side, the blood jujube wine he exchanged caused the cultivation speed of the Wu tribe's middle-level members to increase dramatically, but the small quantity did not cause much change.

However, the cultivation method of spirit pepper taught by Huanglong made the cultivation speed of the lower-level witch warriors faster, which had already caused a very subtle strengthening of the witch clan's fortune.

However, the change was extremely subtle, and since the Wu Clan did not cultivate their primordial spirit, their fortune changes were even more subtle, so the two Western Saints did not notice it immediately.

On the demon race's side, the effects of the Pure World White Lotus were too obvious, causing a drastic change in the demon race's fortune, which is why the two Western Saints noticed the clues immediately.

This kid, without anyone noticing, has actually managed to simultaneously influence the fortunes of the two great races, the Lich and the Demon!

Although the impact is small, this trend must not be allowed to continue!
