Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

When Guang Chengzi heard Huanglong say that it was Xuandu who had broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he slowly exhaled, as if he had been relieved of boundless pressure, and his whole body was obviously much more relaxed...!

"Eleventh rank?!"

"Senior Brother Xuandu has broken through!"

"An eleven-petaled flower... This foundation is simply terrifying!"

Unlike Guang Chengzi's relaxed demeanor, the other disciples of the Chan Sect were in an uproar, their shock, envy, and admiration evident in their expressions.

It contained sincere congratulations to Xuandu, awe and longing for the eleventh-grade foundation, and anticipation for the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Huanglong and the Antarctic Immortal observed the expressions on everyone's faces.

Especially Guang Chengzi...!

Huang Long, in particular, clearly saw that when Guang Chengzi heard "Xuandu attains the Great Luo" and "flowers bloom in eleven grades," although he felt much more relaxed, the sharp light in his eyes dimmed slightly, and a subtle disturbance appeared in the originally harmonious aura around him.

That was the impact on his Dao heart, the self-doubt and pressure that arose from being surpassed by later disciples like Huanglong and Xuandu, despite being the eldest disciple of the Chan Sect.

Huanglong and the Antarctic Immortal exchanged a quiet glance, both understanding that Guangchengzi's state of mind was extremely crucial at this moment.

If crushed, one's Dao heart may be clouded, making breakthroughs even more difficult; but if guided properly, this pressure may be transformed into the most powerful driving force!

Just as Guang Chengzi's eyes became slightly vacant, his aura became increasingly erratic, and his desolation almost materialized—

"Senior Brother Guangchengzi!"

Huanglong suddenly let out a clear shout, his voice as clear as the heavens and earth, penetrating deep into Guangchengzi's spiritual realm!

In this shout, Huanglong consumed some of his merit, which contained his understanding of the Great Luo, his comprehension of the Dao Heart, and a sense of inspiration from the Great Dao.

"Xuandu has already embarked on the path! The Great Dao is right beneath our feet!"

"If we don't break through now, when will we?!"

"If we don't break through now, when will we—!!!"

Huanglong shouted the last sentence with almost all his magic power. His voice echoed on the Enlightenment Peak, shaking the sea of ​​clouds and like a thunderclap, splitting the fog of self-doubt in Guangchengzi's heart!

Guang Chengzi trembled violently, and the confusion and loneliness in his eyes suddenly disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented clarity and determination!

Like a drowning person grabbing onto a piece of driftwood, or a lost traveler seeing a lighthouse!

"Excellent! If Junior Brother Xuandu can succeed, why can't I, Guang Chengzi?!"

A vast and boundless aura surged up from Guang Chengzi!

Without further hesitation, and without even having time to thank Huanglong, he immediately sat down cross-legged, made the Jade Purity Daoist incantation with his hands, and closed his eyes to concentrate.

Auspicious clouds burst forth from above, and the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit swayed gracefully. Although they had not yet bloomed, they had already stirred the mysterious Daoist rhythm.

Meanwhile, above Kunlun Mountain, the wind and clouds changed color, and the phantom of the river of time appeared, covering the Kunlun area, with faint waves and the power of time permeating the air.

Guang Chengzi's true spirit left his body without hesitation, transforming into a beam of pure immortal light that plunged directly into the illusory image of the River of Time!

Huanglong and the Antarctic Immortal were prepared. Almost at the same time that Guangchengzi's true spirit left his body, the two of them closed their eyes again, their true spirits leaving their bodies and disappearing into the river of time.

They were going to protect Guang Chengzi and ensure that this final step would not be disturbed by external evils and that he could take it smoothly!

Taiyi, Yuding, Cihang, and other disciples of the Chan Sect were left standing on Wudao Peak, looking at each other with excitement and tension. They spontaneously surrounded Guang Chengzi, trying to understand the Daoist essence of Guang Chengzi's breakthrough to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Pairs of eyes were fixed intently on the phantom of the River of Time in the sky, and beneath that phantom, on Guang Chengzi's physical body, which was radiating an increasingly powerful aura.

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

On the cloud bed, the phantom of Yuanshi Tianzun quietly appeared. He looked towards the direction of the Five Elements Grotto Heaven, and then glanced at the many phantoms of powerful beings on the River of Time. A very faint, satisfied smile swept across his majestic face.

Behind him, countless enormous banner shadows shrouded in chaotic energy flashed by and disappeared into the river of time!

Although Huanglong and Antarctic Immortal went to the River of Time to protect Guangchengzi, they were only Great Luo Golden Immortals after all. If someone dared to attack Guangchengzi, even two Great Luo Golden Immortals couldn't stop them!

Yuanshi Tianzun was not worried about whether Guang Chengzi could break through. With his own accumulation and the fighting spirit that had just been ignited, Guang Chengzi would be fine in this hurdle.

His gaze seemed to pierce through endless time and space, landing on an island in the East China Sea shaped like a giant turtle, where a phantom image of a long river of time also appeared in the sky above the island.

Beneath the illusory image of the River of Time, the majestic figure slowly opened its eyes, and within those deep and boundless eyes, countless strands of sword light swirled.

The towering figure exchanged a glance with the Primordial Celestial Venerable, then slowly closed its eyes again!

After Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze left Jin'ao Island, it turned to the Heavenly Court in the Heavenly Realm and the foot of Buzhou Mountain...!

"It will be soon, the disciples of our three religions will ascend to the primordial world...!" the sage murmured, and then his figure slowly faded away.

Upon returning to the river of time, Huanglong and the Antarctic Immortal immediately saw the colossal Pangu Banner, radiating a terrifying aura.

As wisps of chaotic energy descended from Pangu's sail, all the waves stirred up by the river of time were cut down, firmly binding Guang Chengzi's true spirit beneath the banner.

This deterred the malicious divine thoughts that had returned to the river of time from acting recklessly.

Suddenly, the Antarctic Immortal let out a soft "Eh," and turned his gaze to another section of the River of Time.

Huang Long looked over and his heart stirred.

Not far from where Guang Chengzi broke through, another section of the river was also surging with waves.

Four celestial swords, radiating a terrifying aura, stood atop the river of time, protecting a figure like the Pangu Banner.

That figure was surrounded by a radiant light, and was also blooming with the flowers of the Great Dao, as it struggled to break through the Great Luo Pass!

"That's... Senior Brother Duobao!" Huanglong looked at the figure in surprise.

A slightly rounded yet remarkably composed figure stood amidst the waves.

Besides the terrifying Four Swords of Zhuxian above his head, there were also radiant magic seals, strings of dazzling beads, and mysterious and unpredictable phantom images of spiritual treasures swirling around him.

Strands of precious energy overflowed from the radiant magic weapon and entered the True Spirit of Many Treasures. With each strand of precious energy absorbed, the aura emanating from the True Spirit of Many Treasures grew stronger!

"Junior Brother Duobao is also breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!" the Antarctic Immortal exclaimed in surprise.

Judging from the surging of its aura and the convergence of its figures in the waves of time, it is clear that, like Guang's growth, it has also reached the crucial moment of gathering its past and future forms.

At this moment, Daoist Duobao's eyes were unusually firm, even carrying a sharp edge unique to the Jie Sect, a kind of "seizing a glimmer of hope".

He had clearly noticed Guang Chengzi's breakthrough and the presence of Huanglong and the Antarctic Immortal, but this did not affect his state of mind. On the contrary, it seemed to have aroused his competitive spirit, making his aura more refined and his precious light even more dazzling.

Guang Chengzi, who was undergoing a breakthrough, naturally saw Duobao, who was also on the river of time. The two were both disciples of a sage, but each was the senior brother of a different sect.

Since joining Kunlun, the two have been chasing each other, encouraging each other to improve their skills, and also being rivals!

A fierce flame ignited in Duobao and Guangchengzi's eyes, and an even more powerful aura erupted from their bodies.

Now that the two have both broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, they naturally compete to see whose Great Dao Flower can bloom with more grades!

It's a contest to see whose foundation is deeper...!
