Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

These magical treasures were specifically crafted by Huanglong based on the key points of the formation, and were designed to match the spiritual veins and terrain at those points, greatly enhancing the power and variability of the formation.

Most importantly, he also integrated and utilized the innate spiritual roots in the dojo.

He placed the spiritual treasures one by one on the spiritual root that served as the array's core, connecting the Daoist essence of the two. He used the innate Daoist essence and boundless vitality emanating from the innate spiritual root to nurture the spiritual essence of the treasures, allowing their power to slowly increase over time, and even giving them the possibility of undergoing a transformation.

Conversely, the spiritual energy and laws gathered by the spiritual treasure can also nourish the spiritual root and promote its growth.

The spiritual root and the spiritual treasure complement and promote each other.

This further enhanced the protective array of the entire Huanglong Daoist Temple, allowing it to absorb and gather boundless spiritual energy to nourish the living beings within the temple.

Even the defensive capabilities that Huanglong didn't value have improved significantly, leaving ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals helpless.

Of course, no one in Kunlun is bold enough to attack his dojo.

Huang Long also did not abandon alchemy and formation techniques.

He carefully studied the Daoist alchemy tradition left behind by the Sage Taiqing.

Although with his cultivation level and alchemy skills, he was not yet able to refine a golden pill of the level of a nine-turn golden pill, he could easily refine various pills below the nine-turn level, such as seven-turn and eight-turn golden pills for healing, tempering the body, assisting in enlightenment, and improving cultivation.

During his practice of alchemy, he "squandered" a considerable portion of the spiritual roots and mature elixirs produced in the training grounds.

For this reason, Zi Ling tearfully went to him, begging him, the master, to go easy on her, because she had watched those seedlings grow day by day, and she couldn't bear to part with them.

After Huanglong tossed him a few bottles of golden pills, whatever Huanglong wanted, Ziling would happily lead a bunch of followers to pick them and deliver them to Huanglong's alchemy furnace!

It transformed into bottles of golden pills in the alchemy room, exuding Daoist charm and overflowing with the fragrance of elixirs.

However, after each of Zi Ling's visits, some of the pills on the Yellow Dragon Pill Shelf would disappear.

At the same time, he also diligently studied the array formation inheritance of his Uncle Tongtian.

Huanglong cross-referenced the restrictions and law imprints involved in his own Five Elements Dao and the Dao of Refining Weapons of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and his cultivation in the Dao of Arrays also made rapid progress.

The formations he has set up now are far beyond the ordinary; they can be adjusted and changed according to the terrain, spiritual veins, and all things, containing a trace of "living" spirituality.

His tens of thousands of years of "staying at home" were only "reminded" by the three extraordinary and unparalleled powers left behind by the Three Pure Ones.

His cultivation level steadily improved, and his skills in weapon crafting, alchemy, and array formation reached a new peak. The spiritual roots of many spiritual roots in the dojo were also slowly improving under the nourishment of the new array.

What excited Huanglong the most was that the Great Chun, a top-grade innate spiritual root that had less than one layer of its original essence remaining, finally recovered one layer of its original essence under the nourishment of the entire Daoist temple.

This uneventful yet fulfilling time made Huanglong exceptionally fulfilled!

If it weren't for the "bulge" on his head that had shrunk several sizes but was still faintly visible, the occasional slight "ache" in his waist, and the slightly indescribable "strange feeling" when he sat down, all of which reminded him that his stay-at-home life was about to end.

"Alas, it seems that we will have to enjoy the 'care' of our three teachers for quite some time to come."

Huang Long touched the top of his head, where the protrusion was no longer very noticeable, but he could still clearly feel the remaining bump. He sighed helplessly.

Tens of thousands of years of hard work have only worn away most of it; the remaining part will be completely worn away and refined in another thousand years or so.

However, he has gotten used to it by now.

His daily life of "staying at home" for tens of thousands of years was spent honing his skills, refining his foundation, and comprehending the three strange powers left by his three masters. His cultivation level of the Great Luo Realm was steadily improving.

The only thing that worries Huanglong now is the ten little golden crows in Tang Valley above the East Sea.

According to the original estimate of the Azure Dragon Ancestor, these ten little golden crows were born in response to the times, possessing profound innate essence and lacking nothing in terms of cultivation resources. Their time to break through to the Great Luo Realm would not exceed one Huiyuan!

Calculating the time, it has been almost 90,000 years since these ten little golden crows were born. In another 30,000 years, it will be a full cycle.

However, thinking about these things was pointless at the moment. The three saintly powers within him, which had not yet been completely worn away and refined, reminded him that he could not leave Kunlun for the time being.

......

On this day, the great sun, high above the primordial world, suddenly shone brightly, and strands of the vast and pure yang energy of the great sun descended upon the primordial East Sea.

Just as Huanglong's mind was immersed in the Dao realm, suddenly—

"Splash..."

A vast, seemingly ancient sound, flowing into the endless future, suddenly resounded deep within his Dao heart without warning.

This is not a real sound, but a sensation originating from the source of the Tao!

"It's a fluctuation in the river of time!"

Huanglong suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with five-colored light that pierced through the endless void, gazing at the river that seemed to connect all of time and space.

"Um?"

He muttered to himself, a hint of surprise in his voice, "This anomaly in the River of Time... Is it because a being has attained the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, its true spirit leaping out of the River of Destiny, stepping onto it, and gathering its past and future?"

The birth of any new Great Luo will stir up ripples in the river of time and be perceived by beings of the same or even higher realms.

With a slight thought, Huang Long sent out a wisp of condensed true spiritual power, following the sensation.

Having traversed the endless void, they descended upon the magnificent and intricate river of time.

The river flows endlessly, and every wave may represent the passage of time, while every drop of water may depict the fate of a living being.

Vast, magnificent, mysterious, and danger is the eternal theme here.

Huanglong's divine soul avatar stood atop a wave, swiftly sweeping across the area where abnormal fluctuations were occurring.

Soon, he spotted a scene in a corner of the long river.

Huang Long's gaze sharpened, and he said in a low voice with some surprise, "It turns out that both of them are waiting here!"

Above that river of time, two colossal, sun-like emperor figures stood guard around!

One of the figures exuded a majestic and domineering aura, holding the Hetu Luoshu in one hand and the Sun God Sword in the other, surrounded by stars. He was none other than Emperor Jun of the Heavenly Court!

The other figure was even more fierce and sharp, with a chaotic bell phantom floating above its head, hanging down with countless strands of chaotic energy, enveloping the river of time in that area. It was none other than Donghuang Taiyi!

Beneath the Chaos Bell, boundless light and heat erupted, illuminating the surrounding Time Water in a golden-red hue!

A magnificent, three-legged golden crow, its body ablaze with the true fire of the sun, was flapping its wings and crying out on the river, its voice shaking time and space!

The cry contained the joy and fervor of breaking free from constraints, and its aura was becoming increasingly solid and powerful.

Past, present, and future—countless timelines belonging to it are being forcibly gathered and unified by its powerful will, gradually giving rise to the blooming of the Great Luo Dao Flower!
