Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

But the next moment, it seemed to sense something, and its nine main roots automatically contracted and coiled, forming a natural root ball that wrapped itself up and entered a state of self-protection.

"It is indeed full of spirituality." Huang Long smiled slightly, and with a thought, he returned the entire tea tree to the Xuanhuang Realm.

On another spiritual peak in the Xuanhuang Realm, corresponding to the Earth Vein Dragon Pattern Tree, a tea tree root ball fell, and its roots automatically spread out, deeply embedding themselves into the mountain.

To Huanglong's surprise, as the Enlightenment Tea Tree took root in the Xuanhuang Realm, the tea leaves on its canopy, which contained the laws of the Great Dao, resonated with the laws of the Great Dao in the Xuanhuang Realm.

On the Enlightenment Tea Tree, some leaves, only a corner of them, were nourished by the slightly complete Great Dao Laws of the Xuanhuang Realm and began to grow slowly.

Meanwhile, the incomplete laws of the Great Dao in the Xuanhuang Realm began to absorb the laws from the Enlightenment Tea, and were also growing step by step.

The many spiritual roots, immortal herbs, and spiritual medicines growing in the Xuanhuang Realm were swaying their bodies and emitting specks of spiritual light, as if they were cheering as they comprehended the Dao of the tea tree.

As these laws were perfected, Huanglong's cultivation level continued to improve, getting closer and closer to the late stage of the Great Luo realm.

The Dao Tea Tree and the Xuanhuang Realm form a complementary relationship, but because neither is perfect, the improvement is limited.

However, this is a great opportunity for Huanglong. In the future, he can plant the Enlightenment Tea Tree in the primordial world, and after its laws are perfected, transplant it to the Xuanhuang Realm to make the laws of the Xuanhuang Realm perfect.

Huanglong excitedly patted the trunk of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, "Work hard...!"

The tea tree trembled slightly, its leaves rustling as if adapting to the new environment, but it quickly calmed down and resumed its slow growth.

Huang Long then looked at the several perfectly round tea leaves on the tree canopy.

He gestured with his hand, and nine leaves automatically detached from the branches and drifted into his palm.

The Great Dao Laws of these nine tea leaves are imprinted in the immortal spiritual light of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. After being picked, as long as the spiritual energy is abundant, the Enlightenment Tea Tree can regrow these nine tea leaves.

That's why Huanglong felt safe picking the fruit.

Huanglong took out five jade boxes, and placed eight of the jade pieces in pairs in one jade box, while placing the last one in another jade box.

But when he left the Xuanhuang Realm with a jade box and looked around, he discovered that the avatar of pure energy had vanished without a trace, leaving not even a trace of its aura.

"Buzz".

The invisible barrier of the saint surrounding them vanished quietly like a bubble.

The white cloud on which Huanglong sat, and the figure on the cloud, were fully revealed between the sea and sky outside Jin'ao Island.

The moment the restriction dissipated, Huanglong sensed several gazes.

He slowly turned his head and looked to his side.

About a hundred feet away in the void, Duobao, Zhao Gongming, Jinling, Wudang, the Three Immortal Sisters, and Shiji sat cross-legged around him.

The group had clearly been there for some time.

Duobao was still wearing a golden Taoist robe, but at this moment his aura was as harmonious as a precious pearl, and he faintly had the meaning of the Great Perfection. It was clear that his cultivation of the Great Luo realm, which he had just broken through to, had made further progress.

The twelve Sea-Stabilizing Pearls on Zhao Gongming's waist shone with restrained brilliance, but the occasional trace of heavy pressure they exuded was far stronger than during the previous gathering.

A sharp sword intent appeared between Jin Ling's brows, a manifestation of his deeper understanding of the Great Dao of Gold.

Wu Dang's aura became increasingly ethereal, as if he were about to merge with the surrounding void at any moment.

The Three Immortal Sisters have changed the most. Yunxiao has a bit of ice-blue Dao pattern on her forehead, making her temperament even more aloof; Qiongxiao is surrounded by an even more chilling aura; Bixiao... this girl has actually become much more composed, but her bright eyes still couldn't help but blink when she saw Huanglong.

Shi Ji's cultivation had also reached the late stage of Golden Immortal.

Further away, countless beings who came to listen to the Dao entered a state of enlightenment for varying lengths of time. Some improved their cultivation by a realm, while others comprehended a supernatural power...!

These countless beings are all grateful for the sage's blessings. They clearly believe that the sage has shown compassion for all living beings, creating opportunities for them and guiding them to enlightenment.

......

Duobao and the others all focused their attention on Huanglong at this moment.

Those eyes held astonishment, curiosity, and a sense of exploration...!

Huang Long stood up, brushed off his Taoist robe, and said with a smile, "You have only been apart for a short time, yet your Taoist cultivation has improved considerably."

Duobao was the first to speak, his voice filled with astonishment: "I thought that once I broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, I would catch up with my junior brother, but I never expected that he would already be at the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm! It truly makes me, your senior brother, feel ashamed!"

"We have benefited greatly from our junior brother's good fortune today."

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily, his voice shaking the waves: "I've benefited immensely! I, your junior brother, have only just broken through to the mid-stage of Taiyi, and thanks to that fortuitous opportunity, I've actually faintly touched the threshold of the late stage!!"

Jin Ling nodded slightly, her voice clear and melodious like the sound of a sword: "My Dao of Metal was previously too forceful and lacking in flexibility. Just now, after observing the true meaning of the balance of strength and gentleness contained in that Dao, I suddenly understood."

Wu Dang said softly, "The Dao of Space is profound and mysterious. Recently, thanks to my senior brother, I have gained many insights."

Yunxiao looked at Huanglong, a rare smile appearing in his usually cold eyes: "Third Sister was previously impetuous, but after being baptized by the Daoist energy, her primordial spirit has become thirty percent more solid, which can be considered as making up for a shortcoming."

Bixiao stuck out her tongue and muttered under her breath, "It was just too short-lived; it was over as soon as I started to feel it...!"

Everyone laughed upon hearing this.

Upon seeing the group, Huanglong already knew that although his Uncle Tongtian had set up a restriction to isolate the strange phenomenon of the Dao Tea Tree's revival, he had deliberately released a trace of the Daoist charm of the Dao Tea Tree's revival, allowing Duobao and the others to comprehend it.

Judging from their positions and aura, they were probably directly teleported here by their master uncle. Otherwise, given the profound nature of the saint's restrictions, they would not have been able to detect anything unusual here.

"Uncle-Master, you are so kind!" Huang Long said sincerely.

Duobao nodded, about to say something more, when suddenly...

"Thump!!!"

A bell rang out from deep within Jin'ao Island.

The sound of the bell is ancient and melodious. When it first rings, it is deep and resonant, as if the world has just been created. After it spreads, it transforms into a clear and melodious sound, cleansing the spirit and sweeping away distracting thoughts.

Within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles around Jin'ao Island, all living beings who heard the bell, regardless of their cultivation level, experienced a moment of clarity of mind and elimination of all distracting thoughts.

Before the bell had even finished ringing, strange phenomena suddenly appeared over Jin'ao Island.

A sky full of rosy clouds surged forth from the void, converging into a pillar of light that pierced through heaven and earth.

Within the pillar of light, a figure gradually materialized from the ethereal.

That was a Taoist priest in blue robes.

The Taoist priest appeared to be around thirty years old, with a handsome face and an air of sharpness that seemed to transcend the heavens and seize the Dao.

He did not deliberately exude pressure, but the moment his figure appeared, the laws of heaven and earth in the entire East China Sea froze for a moment.

He stood in the pillar of light, surrounded by a long sword, and countless sword energies intertwined at his feet to form a huge lotus platform.

The lotus platform slowly rotated, scattering streaks of sword light. Wherever the sword light passed, the void cracked open with fissures spanning billions of miles. As the lotus blossomed, phantom images of the Great Dao scriptures flickered.

The image of the sage manifests in heaven and earth!

"Greetings, Master!"

Duobao bowed first, his voice respectful.

Zhao Gongming, Jin Ling, Wu Dang, San Xiao, Shi Ji, and thousands of other figures appearing in the void further away are the outer disciples of the Jie Sect!

Thousands of figures bowed in unison, their voices rising like a tidal wave.

"Greetings, Master!"

Huang Long also bowed in greeting along with Duo Bao and the others.

He could sense that when that gaze swept over him, it paused for a moment, seemingly with a faint smile.

Huang Long suddenly realized that his hand was empty, and the jade box containing the Enlightenment Tea had also disappeared into thin air...!

Beside the sage's image, seven figures appeared out of nowhere, like attendants...!
