Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Feeling that he had made further progress in the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm, Huanglong couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "The sage's teachings are like having a cheat code!"

After each sermon, Yuanshi would lay out countless laws and feed them little by little. Laws that were difficult to comprehend in the past could now be absorbed simply by opening their mouths, transforming into their own cultivation, rapidly improving their foundation, and making them solid without any superficiality.

Several months passed before all the disciples awoke from their sermon.

Yuanshi, sitting on the cloud bed, said calmly, "You have just begun to understand the Great Dao of Chan Sect. You must devote yourselves to cultivation and solidify your foundation."

"May you all quickly refine the five elements within your hearts and achieve the immortality of Golden Immortals!"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable was clearly very satisfied with these disciples. Among them were the Antarctic Immortal, a Grand Luo Immortal; Guang Chengzi, a Taiyi Realm cultivator; and Huanglong, a late-stage Golden Immortal. As for the newly acquired Yu Ding and Taiyi, each possessed extraordinary backgrounds and abundant good fortune. They were only waiting to comprehend the Primordial Golden Chapter, transform their magical power, and achieve immortality through the Great Dao of the Chan Sect. All of them had the potential to become Grand Luo Golden Immortals.

His gaze swept over the disciples, first landing on the Antarctic Immortal, then lingering briefly before finally settling on Guang Chengzi: "Antarctic, you are already a Great Luo Golden Immortal. You should comprehend the Great Dao and attain the Quasi-Saint status as soon as possible."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable held a lamp made entirely of crystal in his hand and said to the South Pole, "This Jade Void Crystal Lamp is a supreme innate item. It can ignite the wick with the power of life force, resonate with the Great Dao of Life, and be in harmony with your Great Dao. I now bestow it upon you to protect your Dao."

"Thank you for the reward, Master!"

Sensing the wisps of Daoist energy emanating from the Jade Void Glazed Cup, the Antarctic Immortal bowed respectfully and slowly accepted it.

Huanglong looked at the Antarctic Immortal with envy. There were only a handful of innate top-grade spiritual treasures in the entire dragon clan. As expected, the Three Pure Ones were the richest people in the prehistoric world, even the rewards they gave to their disciples were top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Amidst the eager gazes of his disciples, Yuanshi slowly turned to Guangchengzi: "Since your birth, you have followed me, cultivating my Great Dao and inheriting my legacy. From now on, you will be the senior disciple of the Chan Sect, in charge of the sect's rules. When I am not here, you should shoulder the responsibility of instructing your junior disciples."

After establishing the eldest disciple of the Chan Sect, two beams of precious light flew from the sleeve of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable towards Guang Chengzi.

"These are the twin swords and the purple celestial robe, both of which are ranked as top-grade innate items. You should cultivate and comprehend them diligently."

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this treasure. This disciple will certainly lead my fellow disciples in diligently cultivating the Great Dao, and will not disgrace your illustrious name!"

Guang Chengzi excitedly accepted the two spiritual treasures and made a promise to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, turned his gaze to Huanglong, and slowly said, "You were originally a spirit of the earth's veins, but you transformed into a dragon and have taken on the karmic burdens of the dragon race."

"However, you have created the world with great perseverance and have been rewarded by the Heavenly Dao. You have eliminated your karmic obstacles with your merits, which is in line with your great Dao. You should be even more diligent in the future to maintain the operation of the world and create life for all living beings."

"This Creation Gourd was obtained by your master from the innate gourd vine on Mount Buzhou. It has the effect of refining all things and returning them to their origin. Your master also collected the essence of the sun, moon and stars and refined it into it, so that this gourd can absorb the power of the sun, moon and stars and condense the Three Lights Divine Water, which can help you create all things."

"Thank you so much, Master, for bestowing this treasure!"

Huang Long immediately accepted the Creation Gourd. Hesitating for even a fraction of a second would be disrespectful to this magical treasure.

"The Three Lights Divine Water is the number one divine water in the primordial world. It is the best divine substance for both healing injuries and cultivating spiritual roots."

Huanglong carefully examined the Creation Gourd in his hand. It could return to its original state, making it one of the most top-tier spiritual treasures. It could also condense the Three Lights Divine Water, which was the first divine water of the primordial world, condensed at the beginning of the creation of the primordial world. However, after several eons, Nuwa used some of it when creating humans, and after the Investiture of the Gods, it was no longer visible in the world.

According to legend, only Yuanshi Tianzun possessed the Three Lights Divine Water, which he bestowed upon his disciple. The nectar from the ginseng fruit tree that Guanyin (now Cihang) used to heal Zhen Yuanzi in Journey to the West was actually the Three Lights Divine Water.

Otherwise, Zhen Yuanzi wouldn't have allowed Sun Wukong to so easily pry the ginseng fruit tree down.

Yuanshi saw that Huanglong was still examining the Creation Gourd, shook his head, and ignored him. He then looked at the other disciples and bestowed upon them several innate spiritual treasures.

Finally, Yuanshi Tianzun said to Taiyi and the others, "Now that you have obtained the Dao and spiritual treasures, you should establish your own Daoist temples in Kunlun Mountain to cultivate the Great Dao and refine spiritual treasures. You may each choose a place where the Dao's essence gathers as your Daoist temple."

"Remember, there are many sacred mountains in Kunlun Mountain. Do not quarrel with your fellow disciples because of this, so as not to ruin the friendship between them."

After saying this, he turned to Guang Chengzi and Huang Long and said, "As the senior brothers, you two should take your junior brothers to find a suitable place, open up a cave, and go to cultivate in peace."

"We will obey Master's decree!" the disciples replied in unison.

As the group left Yuqing Palace, they saw hundreds of Jiejiao disciples surging into Shangqing Palace and dispersing towards Kunlun Mountain. Clearly, they shared the same goal: to choose a sacred mountain as their training ground.

Seeing this, Guang Chengzi, as the eldest disciple, naturally couldn't let his junior brother fall behind. He created a beam of light and carried Taiyi and the others, flying rapidly into the mountains.

Seeing that his senior brother Guang Chengzi had taken away all his junior brothers, Huanglong was happy to have some peace and quiet. He rode a cloud and slowly returned to his own dojo.

Huanglong looked up at Kunlun, the mountain that had housed three sages, from above the clouds. The rich spiritual energy condensed and turned into mist, and the Daoist charm was continuous. Cultivation on any of these mountains far surpassed that of the spiritual mountains outside.

Rare flowers and exotic herbs cover the mountains, exhaling the glow of the sunset, and the air is filled with the fragrance of herbs. Cranes soar through the sky, monkeys leap across the streams, and strange beasts lurk, creating a scene of otherworldly beauty.

But watching the disciples of the Jie Sect, who had transformed into various beasts, swarm like locusts, turning the spiritual herbs and elixirs that exuded spiritual energy and the spiritually rich beasts into their food.

Huang Long sighed, "It's probably not long before Kunlun becomes a place of chaos and smog, and the beautiful scenery of this sacred mountain will be hard to preserve."

As Huanglong's auspicious clouds accelerated, they overtook everyone and began to unleash their magic, transforming into giant hands that collected all the rarest spiritual herbs and beasts from the mountain peaks. They also collected a portion of the ordinary ones and placed them into the Xuanhuang Realm, adding vitality to it.

At the same time, leave some seeds for the native creatures of Kunlun Mountain, so that they can return to Kunlun to live after the Three Pure Ones separate and the Jie Sect moves away from Kunlun.

After Huanglong had circled half of Kunlun, he saw that many mountain peaks had already been occupied, and that eight or nine out of ten creatures in Kunlun had been taken. He then decided to continue.

If the disciples of the Jie Sect see this, they might think that I have stolen their opportunity, which could cause a conflict between the two sects. In that case, I won't be able to explain myself.

On this day, as Huanglong was preparing to return to his own dojo, a conflict broke out among the peaks on the northwest slope of Kunlun Mountain.

Here are several peaks, shrouded in spiritual mist, with magnificent and imposing shapes, faintly resembling the convergence of dragons and tigers, possessing an even stronger Daoist charm than the mountain peaks before Huanglong set up his formation.

"I discovered this place first! Why do you disciples of the Jie Sect want to seize it?" A clear shout broke the silence of the mountains, the voice carrying a hint of anxiety.

The speaker was a middle-aged Taoist priest with a handsome face, wearing a pure white Taoist robe and holding a whisk. He was surrounded by pure immortal light and was none other than Taiyi Zhenren, a disciple of the Chan Sect.
