Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"Is the source of the malevolent energy in this sea area beneath the Three Immortal Islands?"

"You mean, the malevolent energy across this vast expanse of sea, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, all originates from beneath the Three Immortal Islands?"

Yunxiao nodded affirmatively.

Huang Long felt his scalp tingle and his soul tremble.

The only thing Huanglong could imagine that could create such malevolent energy that permeated hundreds of millions of miles of ocean was the Chaos Demon God who had escaped from the Pangu Axe.

Seeing Huanglong's blank expression, the Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming thought he didn't believe it.

Bixiao explained impatiently, "Even after we cleansed the evil energy and filth from the Three Immortals Island, evil energy still spreads out from beneath the island."

To investigate the source of the malevolent energy, we delved into the island's very foundations. We initially thought it was merely accumulated ley lines, but unexpectedly, it was at the confluence of three ley lines on the Three Immortal Islands.

He paused, then said, word by word, "An unusual spatial fluctuation has been detected."

"The fluctuations were extremely subtle. If the three of us hadn't been so closely connected to the earth veins of the Three Immortals Mountain, we would have been almost unable to detect them."

Yunxiao took over the conversation, his voice clear and cold yet solemn, "We spent hundreds of years exploring the island, and finally determined that the changes in this sea area were caused by this space."

Zhao Gongming then added, "That space merges with the node where the three earth veins intersect, as if they were one. However, for some reason, a crack has appeared, and the evil energy seeping out from it has permeated the sea area spanning hundreds of millions of miles."

The malevolent energy emanating from that crack was a hundred times more concentrated than that emanating from the two dragons, and it contained an even more chilling, terrifying, and ancient aura...!

Huang Long had a vague guess: "Those two dragons absorbed the evil energy seeping out from the crack?"

Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals nodded. Yunxiao said, "We suspect that the two dragons were able to cultivate to the Taiyi Realm because they were exposed to the malevolent energy leaking from the crack."

While that malevolent energy made their physical bodies extremely powerful, it also made their primordial spirits incredibly weak, which is why they were suppressed by the Primordial Golden Cauldron!

Upon hearing the descriptions from the Three Immortals and others, Huang Long was deeply shaken.

A special space? A ley line node? The leaked aura created a vast expanse of malevolent energy across hundreds of millions of miles of sea.

The two dragons, having gained some fortuitous opportunities, caused the four disciples of the same realm of sainthood great suffering. In the end, they were only able to barely defeat them by relying on the restraint of spiritual treasures!

All of this suggests that what is contained within that spatial node will not be ordinary.

Suddenly remembering something, Huang Long blurted out, "Have you explored that space in depth?"

Zhao Gongming and the three Xiaos exchanged a glance and shook their heads in unison.

"I wouldn't dare!"

"cannot!"

Yunxiao frankly admitted, "With our cultivation at the Taiyi Realm, we simply cannot reliably break through that special space. Moreover, the aura emanating from it is too terrifying. We suspect that there are remnants left behind by a Quasi-Saint or even stronger being within the space."

Qiongxiao said, "So we set up a sealing array to temporarily seal the space in that ley line node, planning to explore its mysteries after the four of us break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

Bixiao looked at Huanglong, her two bright eyes gleaming with golden light: "Originally, we planned to keep this secret until we were able to explore it, but today...!"

"Today, Senior Brother Huanglong and my elder brother exchanged spiritual treasures. They could have exchanged one for another, but Senior Brother Huanglong gave up two innate spiritual treasures instead."

Yunxiao continued, her voice gentle yet firm. "Senior Brother acts with integrity and has spared no effort in helping us. We four siblings feel deeply ashamed of our own lack of kindness!"

Zhao Gongming stood up and bowed respectfully to Huanglong:

"Senior Brother Huanglong, we siblings are willing to share the opportunities beneath these Three Immortal Islands with you. Whatever is there, as long as it is useful to you, you may take it. This is our way of repaying your kindness and showing our trust in your character."

The Three Immortals also stood up and bowed deeply to Huanglong.

Huang Long was stunned!

He never expected that his desire to avoid any regrets in his Dao heart would bring him such a reward.

In this primordial world, ordinary opportunities and good fortune are enough to turn close friends into enemies, let alone such opportunities as those of quasi-saints or even higher levels of the Great Dao.

The Three Immortals and Zhao Gongming were willing to share this great opportunity; this trust was heavier than Mount Buzhou.

"you......!"

Huang Long took a deep breath and stood up as well. "Aren't you afraid I'll monopolize this opportunity?"

A smile appeared on Yunxiao's usually cool face, as gentle as a spring breeze.

"If it were anyone else, even Senior Brother Duobao, we wouldn't dare to do that. But if Senior Brother Huanglong were that kind of person, he wouldn't have taken such good care of my siblings and me back in Kunlun, and he wouldn't have exchanged spirit treasures with my eldest brother. He could have just given up one spirit treasure, but he still took out two innate spirit treasures that were extremely compatible with my eldest brother."

Yunxiao nodded, his gaze towards Huanglong having changed at some point. "We have seen and remembered Senior Brother's character."

Bixiao was the most direct: "I've always believed in Senior Brother Huanglong!"

Zhao Gongming was even more generous: "If you need it, senior brother, take it all. We have no objection whatsoever."

A warm feeling welled up in Huang Long's heart.

Huang Long's expression was solemn as he solemnly said, "Thank you for your trust, my three junior sisters and junior brother Gongming. Your master has witnessed the results of this exploration. If there are any gains, you may take them as needed, without any favoritism!"

"Good!" Yunxiao and the other three said in unison.

After finalizing the arrangements, the group did not delay any longer.

After promising the two boys, Shui and Huo, many benefits, he allowed them to sit quietly, sipping spiritual tea and eating spiritual fruit!

Yunxiao led everyone to the junction of the three immortal mountains.

She formed a hand seal and gently pressed it against the ground, creating an incredibly deep passage that went straight down. Looking at the smooth sides of the passage, it was clear that it had been formed by the friction of the two dragons entering and exiting over countless years.

The five people filed in and descended hundreds of thousands of feet before suddenly finding themselves in a huge cave that had been carved out by nature.

The cave is thousands of feet high and filled with rich innate yin and yang spiritual energy.

In the center of the cave, Huanglong's primordial spirit scanned the area and discovered a space that was extremely unnaturally distorted, appearing and disappearing, and then instantly merging with the space inside the cave, making it indistinguishable from the outside.

"The spatial rift is right there!" Yunxiao pointed to the space that had been slightly distorted just moments before.

"When we first discovered this place, the spatial rift was extremely stable, with only a few wisps of Yin-Yang primordial evil energy occasionally seeping out. In order to prevent the Three Immortal Islands from being tainted by the evil energy, we set up a sealing array to block the rift."

"After that, we cleared the evil energy from this space. Without the evil energy to corrode it, the spiritual veins of the Three Immortal Islands have been constantly gushing out innate yin and yang spiritual energy."

"I'm going to break the seal!" The three immortals stood in three corners of the cave, casting spells together and sending beams of spiritual light into the central void.

Zhao Gongming whispered from the side, "Senior brother, be careful. When the seal is broken, the evil energy inside will surge out, which can easily damage your cultivation."
