Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

This is far beyond the reach of ordinary spiritual herbs and medicines. Even some rare spiritual herbs and medicines may have a single plant with effects that surpass those of acquired spiritual roots. However, these spiritual herbs and medicines take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years to grow, and once they are used up, they are gone!

Acquired spiritual roots are different; as long as they are properly cultivated, they will produce a stable output regularly!

Moreover, each one is born from the creation of heaven and earth, condensing fragments of laws, which can help people comprehend the Great Dao.

Having an acquired spiritual root, if properly cultivated, not only means a continuous stream of rare and precious products, but also symbolizes the foundation of a Taoist temple, and provides ineffable benefits to the owner's cultivation.

Huang Long looked around at everyone and smiled, "Fellow disciples, over the past few hundred years, you have all worked hard, and Kunlun has regained its vitality and is now full of splendor. It is worthy of the great name of the Sage's Daoist Temple. Master would surely be pleased to know this. This is all thanks to you all."

Guang Chengzi cupped his hands and said, "Junior Brother, you flatter me. If it weren't for your suggestion and your generous gift of so many spiritual seeds, even we skilled cooks would have no rice to cook. Kunlun has been able to be restored to its former glory, and Junior Brother deserves the greatest credit."

Everyone echoed this sentiment.

Huang Long waved his hand: "There's no need for formalities among fellow disciples. I invited you all here today because you have already achieved considerable mastery in the art of spiritual plants!"

Huang Long looked at the scene that had recovered, which was the same as when he first went to Kunlun. It was full of innate spiritual energy and nourished by rich Daoist charm. With the help of a series of great formations, it was no problem to plant some acquired spiritual roots.

Then he continued, "This part of the spiritual root is the same type as other spiritual roots in my cave heaven. Keeping it with me would only be icing on the cake. But if you take it back to your dojos and take good care of it, it will surely greatly enhance the foundation of your dojos and elevate the spiritual energy and Dao charm to a higher level, making your cultivation of the Great Dao smoother."

He paused, then spoke earnestly: "Kunlun is the home of my Chan Sect; its glory is our glory. These spiritual roots are bestowed upon you all. Each of you may choose one that aligns with your own Dao and take it back to your Daoist temple to cultivate it carefully. If none aligns with your own Dao, you may still choose one to enhance the foundation of your Daoist temple."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Chan Sect were initially taken aback. Even the Antarctic Immortal, a Great Luo Golden Immortal, showed a hint of joy on his face, while the others were overjoyed!

They had indeed coveted these acquired spiritual roots for a long time, but knowing their preciousness, they never asked for them.

Unexpectedly, Huang Long offered to give it to me.

The Antarctic Immortal stroked his beard and laughed, "Junior Brother Huanglong is generous and magnanimous, truly a blessing to our sect. Fellow junior brothers, why don't you thank Junior Brother Huanglong? You must carefully nurture these spiritual roots in the future, and not let down these spiritual roots and Junior Brother Huanglong's good intentions."

Guang Chengzi took a deep breath and bowed first: "Thank you, Junior Brother Huanglong! I will remember this kindness." He walked towards the "Gengjin Sword Soul Tree", which was extremely compatible with his swordsmanship and would greatly benefit him in refining the innate spiritual treasure, the male and female swords.

Taiyi followed closely behind, and after thanking them, he chose "Earth Carrying the Lotus"!

Manjushri chose the "Green Spirit Vine of the Wood Element" for its vitality and wisdom, which would aid in his enlightenment.

Chi Jingzi chose the Crimson Blood Jujube Tree, which was full of rich blood energy!

......

Ju Liusun chose another variant of the spiritual root, "Earth Element Agarwood," which is more earth-oriented and can stabilize the earth's veins.

Everyone made their choices, their faces beaming with joy. They carefully stored their spiritual roots in jade boxes, spiritual soil, and other items, not only to express their gratitude to Huanglong but also to ensure that Huanglong would be there for them whenever needed...!

After the others had made their selections, seeing that the Antarctic Immortal had not yet made a move, he casually sent the longevity peach into the Antarctic Immortal's hands!

"Senior Brother Antarctica, this longevity peach is perfectly aligned with your Dao, please don't refuse!"

Looking at the longevity peach in front of him, which exuded the aura of immortality, and then at Huanglong's expression that left no room for refusal, the Antarctic Immortal smiled bitterly and waved his hand to accept the longevity peach!

"Thank you...!"

Before the Old Man of the South Pole could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

Huanglong and the Antarctic Immortal both tensed up almost simultaneously, raising their heads sharply as if their gazes pierced through the barriers of the cave, looking towards the long river that spanned all of time and space in the darkness.

"A being has broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm...!" the Antarctic Immortal said in a deep voice. "But we don't know if it's a demon or a witch!"

In the next epoch, apart from two dragons, the rest of the primordial beings who broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm were all from the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan!

Huang Long shook his head and said, "Go and see for yourself!"

Huang Long also sensed a special disturbance originating from the river of time. He sensed a different kind of fluctuation than Antarctica, and the fluctuation carried a sense of tranquility and inaction that he found quite familiar...!

The two exchanged a glance, said nothing more, and sat down cross-legged at the same time, closing their eyes and concentrating.

Auspicious clouds rose above his head, three flowers swayed, and an incomparably condensed true spirit flew out from between his brows, ignoring spatial barriers, and instantly entered the long river of time that ordinary people could not perceive or touch.

When Guang Chengzi, Taiyi, and the others saw this and heard what Huanglong and the other said—that another being had broken through to the Great Luo Golden Realm—they all showed expressions of envy.

The river of time is boundless and limitless, flowing through the past, present, and future.

This is not a physical space, but a torrent of laws and information, where all events and the trajectories of all living beings in the primordial world are imprinted on each wave.

Where the waves surge, there are the changing of the times and the clash of great powers; where the ripples ripple, there is the life of ordinary creatures and the withering and flourishing of plants.

Ordinary cultivators can only briefly step into this river with their true spirit when they break through to the Great Luo realm and consolidate their own timeline. Even then, they must be extremely cautious to avoid being worn down by the endless waves of time.

The true spirits of Huanglong and the Antarctic Immortal have taken form and stand at the "present" point on the edge of the long river.

Looking out, the river stretches endlessly, its beginning and end unknown. Countless waves surge and roll, each reflecting a life, a piece of history.

Above the long river, a hazy mist of time hangs in the air, and many powerful thoughts are hidden within it.

Many thoughts merely glanced at the manifestation of the true spirits of Huanglong and the Antarctic Immortal, then turned their attention back to the center of the River of Time.

There, their attention was completely drawn to a section of the river ahead.

There, the waves of time surged fiercely, and a tranquil yet profound aura was rising, stirring up waves!

A figure appeared, with a magnificent pagoda above his head, radiating boundless primordial energy and adorned with countless strands of moral silk!

Beneath the pagoda, the two streams of black and white, yin and yang circulate, transforming into a phantom image of a scroll encompassing the universe and all things, enveloping its body!

The two supreme treasures combined their power to firmly fix that section of the river, making it impervious to all magic and preventing anyone from having any strange thoughts!

They dared not raise it...!
