Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"I will suppress the destiny of my sect with the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus!"

boom--!

At the foot of the River Styx, the Twelve-Petaled Karmic Fire Red Lotus suddenly erupted with an unprecedented crimson light. On the lotus petals, the crimson karmic fire fueled by karma surged and transformed into a huge crimson pillar of light that enveloped the sea of ​​blood and shot straight into the sky!

The towering column of blood seemed to shatter the light barrier woven with sword energy, hurtling straight towards the crowd.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Tongtian pulled back the light screen, revealing the figure above the sea of ​​blood and the pillar of blood that had been standing in Tongtian's head.

Within the crimson pillar of light, countless red lotus flames of karma were born and died, fueled by endless karma. As long as the karma was eliminated, the karmic flames would not be extinguished!

"The Asura Cult is established!"

The sound of the River Styx was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a change in the world!

Golden rays of merit descended from the endless void, vast and magnificent!

Its dazzling golden light instantly dispelled the foul blood clouds that had shrouded the Blood Sea for billions of years, illuminating the boundless Blood Sea in a magnificent golden-red hue, as if this were no longer a desolate wasteland, no longer a forbidden zone for living beings, but rather a top-tier blessed land.

The power of merit contained in that golden ocean was slightly inferior to what the Three Pure Ones and the two Western sages received when they established their religions!

"Another sea of ​​blood!"

"Ancestor Styx! He really never stops causing trouble!"

"We can't really let him become a saint, can we?"

"..."

All the innate divine beings who knew the reason, whether with good or bad intentions, focused their gazes intently on the sea of ​​blood shrouded in gold, watching whether the Styx River could become a pioneer!

If a primordial deity without the Primordial Purple Qi could truly become a saint, it would completely rewrite the world's order!

Golden light surged like a tide, pouring into the body of the Styx Ancestor. He stood on a crimson lotus of karmic fire, with two murderous innate spiritual treasures surrounding him.

The aura surrounding Styx began to rise rapidly! Under the perception of many powerful beings, the barrier of the late Quasi-Saint stage was easily pierced like paper, and he instantly reached the Perfect Quasi-Saint realm!

"roar--!"

The Styx River let out a roar that shook the sea of ​​blood, and shattered towards the saint's solid barrier.

Boom—!

"puff!"

The Three Pure Ones and their disciples watched as the aura in the light screen surged to that of the Styx Ancestor. His aura, which had reached the pinnacle of Quasi-Saint, suddenly dissipated and plummeted like a punctured balloon!

As the golden light slowly dissipated, the scene in the center of the sea of ​​blood appeared in the light screen. Styx, standing on the crimson lotus of karmic fire, still stood tall, but his arrogance and bloodlust clearly revealed a sense of hopelessness and deathly stillness.

Failed.

The churning waves of blood in the sea of ​​blood gradually subsided, leaving only the wailing of the mindless, lonely souls within.

Styx looked up and around, as if he were staring at the saints and primordial deities who were watching him make a fool of himself. Suddenly, the petals of the karmic fire lotus swelled up, enveloping Styx and sinking him into the sea of ​​blood, disappearing without a trace.

On the lecture platform of Sanqing Peak, looking at the light screen that had lost the figure of Styx, Tongtian waved his hand lightly, and the light screen formed by the interwoven sword energy suddenly shattered, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating.

As Huanglong watched the light screen dissipate, he looked around. Nanji Duobao and the others were still immersed in the scene of Styx's failure to break through to sainthood, unable to extricate themselves. He looked up at the Three Pure Ones in front of him and found that his three masters were also looking at him, which startled him.

The Three Pure Ones looked at this disciple who had remained unaffected by the River Styx from beginning to end, and it seemed that he had changed slightly.

The Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in Yuanshi's hand swayed gently, producing a crisp sound, like a gentle breeze after rain, dispelling the haze that shrouded the Dao hearts of the Antarctic group.

The disciples then realized that they had been so deeply affected and needed their master to awaken them.

Just as the group was about to get up and thank Yuanshi, the jade ruyi in Yuanshi's hand was gently shaken, and the disciples were pressed back onto the futon by a gentle force.

"Your pursuit of the Dao still needs tempering, but Huanglong has done very well in this regard, remaining unaffected from beginning to end!"

Duobao and the others looked at Huanglong in surprise. Duobao said, "Junior Brother Huanglong's Dao heart is more steadfast than mine."

Huang Long waved his hand and said, "My fellow disciples have higher cultivation levels, so they see further and think more deeply. My cultivation level is lower, so I only want to focus on the present and dare not think too much, which is why I am not affected!"

"Senior brother, my cultivation is lower than yours!" A voice rang out quietly; it was Xuan Du, whose eyes were fixed on Huang Long.

Huang Long coughed lightly and said to Xuan Du, "That's because my senior brother has cultivated for longer than you, so his Dao heart is naturally more steadfast!"

Nanji and Duobao were both amused and annoyed by Huanglong's inconsistent statements; they truly envied their junior brother's attitude.

Huanglong knew his own situation well; his Dao heart wasn't truly unwavering and unmoved by external things. He had long known that the Styx River wouldn't succeed, and he also knew that becoming a sage was no easy feat. Countless billions of years had passed in the primordial world before these few sages appeared, each of whom had cultivated for billions of years.

Right now, he only wants to focus on the present. As a Golden Immortal, he only needs to consider matters of the Taiyi Realm, and can also look towards the Daluo Realm. As for the Sage, he'll deal with that when he reaches the Quasi-Sage level.

Seeing that the disciples had recovered under Huanglong's words, the Three Pure Ones coughed lightly, and the disciples quickly sat up straight, adjusted themselves slightly, and put themselves in the most focused state.

Huang Long adjusted his state, reached out and took out a tea leaf. There was no time to brew it, so he put it directly in his mouth and then closed his eyes to listen to the great teachings of the sage!

The Three Pure Ones looked at Huanglong's actions, exchanged glances, and began chanting the Great Dao Scriptures, explaining the fundamental principles of the Great Dao. In an instant, the Three Pure Ones Peak resounded with Daoist sounds, and countless strange phenomena, arising from the evolution of various laws, enveloped the Three Pure Ones Peak and spread throughout the entire Kunlun Mountain.

When a sage preaches the Way, it is as if the Way itself is present, fully revealing the profound mystery of the Way.

"The primordial energy divides into the mysterious, giving rise to the Three Powers; the Five Elements are arranged in order, flowing throughout the Eight Directions. The highest good is like water, benefiting all things without contention; the ultimate virtue is like emptiness, encompassing all things while remaining eternally still. It does not boast of its achievements, nor does it claim to be virtuous; it is not greedy, nor does it act recklessly. It harmonizes its light, mingles with its dust, blunts its sharpness, and unravels its entanglements. In this way, Yin and Yang will naturally harmonize, calamities will naturally dissipate, true Qi will naturally arise, and the Dao fruit will naturally be achieved."

"The Dao is without beginning or end, formless and nameless. Before all things sprout, I already exist; when all transformations cease, I alone remain serene. If you wish to know the true Dao, you should turn back to its source: empty your mind, extinguish your intentions, cut off your worries, and cease your motives. Return to simplicity, like an infant before it smiles, and the gate of the mysterious female will open by itself, and the primordial Qi will come naturally. Without attachment or clinging, this is the foundation of attaining the Dao."

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. Do you wish to cultivate yourselves? The five colors blind the eye, the five sounds deafen the ear, the five flavors dull the palate, and galloping and hunting drive the mind mad. In this way, the mind dies and the spirit lives; though the body remains, the true nature is always bright, and one unites with the Tao."

With the sage personally explaining the Great Dao, the obstacles that had previously hindered the disciples' cultivation path were all broken down. The cultivation of Nanji, Duobao, and several others improved rapidly, breaking through all barriers without the slightest sign of weakness.

Golden flowers, formed from the purest and most refined innate spiritual energy and imbued with the Daoist essence of a sage, slowly descended upon the disciples. They were absorbed and instantly transformed into strands of pure magical power, replenishing the magical power consumed as the disciples' cultivation levels increased.
