Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

In the Jade Void Palace, Huanglong awoke from his enlightenment.

Looking up, the figure of Yuanshi Tianzun on the cloud bed had already disappeared.

Just then, the others in Jade Void Palace gradually awoke from their enlightenment.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun was recounting the secrets of cultivation at the Quasi-Saint level, it was too far removed from the understanding of disciples like Taiyi and Yuding, who were still at the Taiyi level.

However, when the sage preached, the boundless Daoist essence and the manifestation of the laws made all the disciples cherish this opportunity and devote themselves to comprehending the laws.

Guang Chengzi was the first to open his eyes. The laws of the Great Dao around him were three-tenths more refined than before, and he had already touched the threshold of the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm. He had obviously gained a lot.

He looked at Huang Long and added the congratulations he hadn't said before: "Congratulations, Junior Brother Huang Long, on touching the threshold of Quasi-Saint."

Huang Long returned the greeting: "Senior brother, you flatter me. I am merely taking the first step. The road ahead is long, and we must support each other!"

The Antarctic Immortal, Taiyi, and others all surrounded Huanglong.

Taiyi laughed and patted Huanglong on the shoulder: "Senior Brother Huanglong, you've really surprised us! Today, we'll have to drink our fill of your Blood Jujube Wine."

Yu Ding nodded: "That's exactly right, we should celebrate!"

The others chimed in, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

Randeng, the vice leader, also awoke from his enlightenment and sat on a futon, looking at Huanglong with a meaningful gaze.

Seeing that the group was chatting and making quite a scene, Ran Deng did not disturb them and took the lead in heading out of Yuxu Palace!

Huanglong looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please don't disturb Master's cultivation. Let's talk again at my dojo!"

Nanji, Guangchengzi, and the others nodded and led the way towards the palace gate. Huanglong brought up the rear, placing a box containing nine leaves of Enlightenment Tea, produced from innate spiritual roots, inside the Jade Void Palace. He said softly, "Master, this is tea that your disciple offers to you!"

As Huanglong departed, a soft sigh echoed within the Jade Void Palace, and the box of tea vanished without a trace.

Outside the Jade Void Palace, he saw a group of Chan Sect disciples waiting for him!

Huang Long smiled and beckoned to the respectfully standing White Crane Boy beside him: "Junior Brother White Crane, Master is in seclusion. Would you like to come and visit my dojo?"

The white crane boy standing by the palace gate was taken aback, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

After all, within the Kunlun Mountains, apart from Huang Long, the other disciples of the Chan Sect would not and dare not invite him when they gathered to discuss the Dao.

At this moment, Huang Long took the initiative to invite him, and he hesitated somewhat: "Since Senior Brother Huang Long has invited me, Bai He is naturally willing, but...!"

The White Crane Boy looked back at the tightly closed gates of the Jade Void Palace.

Knowing his worries, Huang Long said, "Don't worry, if Master blames me, I will take full responsibility."

Upon hearing this, the White Crane Boy was relieved and accepted Huang Long's invitation.

The disciples rode in streaks of light, speeding towards the Five Elements Grotto between East and West Kunlun!

However, since the White Crane Boy's cultivation was still shallow, his speed was relatively slow compared to other disciples of the Chan Sect. So, Huanglong separated a ray of spiritual light, wrapped the White Crane Boy in it, and walked alongside him.

"How long has Junior Brother Baihe been serving Master?" Huang Long asked casually.

The White Crane Boy laughed and said, "I served by the Master's side before you, Senior Brother, even before you became a disciple; I've lost count of how many years it's been!"

Huang Long's heart stirred slightly. He looked at the boy beside him and saw that although the boy had transformed into the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old, his eyes held a calmness that did not match his age. It was the wisdom that had been accumulated over many years.

"Junior brother, have you ever considered asking your master to elevate your foundation and allow you to see the view from a higher vantage point?"

The White Crane Boy was silent for a moment, then said softly, "I was originally an ordinary white crane in Kunlun. I was enlightened by you, Master, and was able to hear the Great Dao. I don't ask for much. Being able to serve you at your side is a great blessing. As for improving my foundation... I'll just let nature take its course."

These words were spoken humbly, but Huang Long could hear the true meaning behind them.

To be able to serve by the side of the Primordial Celestial Venerable for so many years without developing the slightest impatience—this temperament surpasses that of countless innate beings with excellent foundations.

He didn't ask any more questions, but simply noted that if this junior brother Baihe could break through the limitations of his origins, he would undoubtedly become a Grand Luo Golden Immortal in the future.

The streaks of light flew past, passing through layers of clouds, and stopped in an area shrouded in colorful rays of light.

Huanglong casually unleashed a beam of spiritual light, and the colorful glow that enveloped the cave dispersed, revealing an entrance overflowing with rich spiritual energy.

Inside the cave, light and shadow shifted, obscuring the specific scene. Only the dense, tangible innate spiritual energy overflowed from the cave entrance, condensing into clusters of spiritual clouds outside the great formation.

"Compared to my junior brother's dojo, our dojo is just an ordinary mountain peak," the Antarctic Immortal exclaimed.

Guang Chengzi nodded in agreement: "Junior Brother is truly enviable to have Zi Ling as his head steward, managing this dojo so well."

Just then, light footsteps came from inside the cave.

A girl dressed in purple stepped out first. She looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright and lively eyes. Her every move exuded the air of a big sister.

He was followed by two men and three women, all of similar age, dressed in white or colorful clothes, each exuding a powerful aura, and all possessing the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal.

Behind the group, crouched seven Qilin, each the size of a lion and covered in scales of various colors.

Upon seeing Huang Long, the girl in purple's eyes lit up with surprise and joy. She led the others behind her in bowing and shouting in unison:

"Welcome home, sir!" The voice was loud and friendly.

The seven Qilin raised their heads at the same time, emitting a deep and majestic roar.

As the Qilin roared, the world at the entrance of the cave suddenly changed, with colorful rays of light intertwining and rising, transforming into a sky full of auspicious seven-colored clouds.

Auspicious clouds descended from the sky, condensing into golden flowers and jade dew, falling from the heavens and merging with the sacred site!

The spectacle left even the disciples of the Chan Sect speechless with astonishment.

These little guys and the seven-headed Qilin were often seen in Kunlun, but they had never seen them behave like this before.

Looking at the scene before him, Huang Long smiled gently.

He took a few steps forward, his gaze falling on Zi Ling's face. Tens of thousands of years had passed, and that innocent little girl had grown up.

"Zi Ling!" Huang Long reached out and gently rubbed the girl's head as usual.

This simple action made Zi Ling so happy she almost jumped for joy. The master hadn't changed!

Huang Long didn't exchange many pleasantries with Zi Ling, and instructed, "Prepare some spiritual fruits and wine; I want to entertain my fellow disciples."

"Yes!" Zi Ling bowed to the group of Chan Sect disciples behind Huang Long, then left with Bai Hong and the others.

He gave instructions as he walked, everything was done with great practice.

Huang Long gestured to Guang Chengzi and the others, "Gentlemen, please follow me."

In the blink of an eye, the group arrived at the Five Elements Courtyard of Wooden Blade Peak.

In the courtyard, there is a ginseng fruit tree and an enlightenment tea tree, both of which exude a Taoist charm.

As the group arrived at the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Huanglong turned around, and jade tables and futons flew out.

Not long after everyone sat down, Zi Ling led Bai Hong and the others in single file.

Each person held a tray in their hands, on which were placed jade plates, jade pots, and jade cups made of innate spiritual jade.

Several qilin, each carrying a large wine jar, followed behind.

The jade plate contained various acquired spiritual fruits, including fist-sized, crimson jujubes exuding a bloody aura, and ginseng fruits shaped like infants, oozing a rich and fragrant aroma...!

The jade pot contains brewed Enlightenment Tea, the tea soup is amber in color, and as the steam rises, it exudes a refreshing fragrance that inspires enlightenment.

Zi Ling directed everyone to place the spiritual fruits and tea on the jade tables in front of each of the Chan Sect disciples, her movements swift and practiced.

She then personally carried a teapot to the jade table in front of the yellow dragon and poured him some spiritual tea.

Huang Long glanced at the cup of Enlightenment Tea, then looked up at the tea in front of everyone, and suddenly said, "Zi Ling, take all this tea away!"

Upon hearing this, not only was Zi Ling stunned, but Guang Chengzi, the Antarctic Immortal, and other disciples of the Chan Sect also cast puzzled glances at her.

Huang Long smiled at everyone and said, "Since all of you fellow disciples are gathered here today, I'd like to treat you to some truly good food!"
