Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Taiyi, standing to the side, raised his wine cup and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Huanglong, if we had such a spiritual item, we would definitely leave it to you."

"Yes, Senior Brother Huanglong."

"I'm confident that Senior Brother Huanglong will not let us suffer any losses!"

"..."

Guang Chengzi and the Old Man of the South Pole already knew that the willow branch must have an extraordinary origin, but they did not know exactly what it was.

However, the look in his eyes towards Cihang held a deeper meaning.

Huang Long raised his wine cup and drank with his fellow disciples.

Huanglong temporarily stored the willow branch in the Xuanhuang Realm.

As for the Three Lights Divine Water, it's not that he doesn't want to give it to Cihang right now, but rather that he doesn't have suitable storage items on hand.

Ordinary storage magic items simply cannot hold the Three Lights Divine Water!

Even a newly acquired spiritual treasure can only hold a dozen or so drops of Three Lights Divine Water. Any more than that and the restrictions and Dao patterns within it will be melted and dissolved by the Three Lights Divine Water, causing it to completely collapse!

Cihang did not carry his own innate spiritual treasure with him.

The disciples of the Chan Sect toasted Huanglong and Cihang, congratulating them on their great gains.

As everyone clinked glasses and discussed the path of cultivation,

In the corner, the aura surrounding the White Crane Boy underwent a complete transformation, advancing from a Golden Immortal to the Taiyi Realm.

As everyone watched the White Crane Boy enter the Taiyi Realm, they raised their wine cups and changed their focus of congratulations: "Junior Brother White Crane, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Junior Brother Baihe on reaching the Taiyi Realm!"

The White Crane Boy moved with light steps, as if treading on clouds, and arrived before the Yellow Dragon first, bowing slightly:

"The white crane bows in gratitude, thanking Senior Brother Huanglong for his life-saving grace."

That's a very strong statement.

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi, the Antarctic Immortal, looked at the white crane with surprise.

In their view, the fact that the White Crane Boy was able to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm today was naturally due to that cup of Innate Enlightenment Tea.

Such a divine object is beneficial even to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, let alone the White Crane Boy who has been stuck at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm for a long time!

This is an opportunity, a stroke of luck, but to call it a life-saving grace is far too much.

Huanglong naturally knew what the white crane was referring to.

He reached out to help, and a gentle spiritual force lifted the white crane, saying softly, "Junior brother, you flatter me. We are fellow disciples; this little matter is not worth mentioning as a debt of gratitude!"

Others may not know, but the white crane does!

After drinking that cup of Enlightenment Tea, he attempted to break through to the Taiyi Realm, but was unable to do so for a long time.

At this moment, a strange primordial power merged into his root source, washing away the limitations of his ordinary life form!

It filled in the missing Dao imprint in his origin, allowing him to break through and successfully step into the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

This kindness is so great that it is no exaggeration to say that it has given us a second chance at life.

He knew that among the many fellow disciples of the Chan Sect present, only Huanglong could produce such a divine object.

The White Crane Boy stood up, his eyes still filled with gratitude, but he said no more thanks.

Some favors are best kept in your heart; saying more would only make you seem distant.

As for the other disciples of the Chan Sect, while they were happy for Baihe Tongzi's breakthrough, they couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

Even Bai He, who is just a child, has already reached the Taiyi realm. If these disciples are surpassed by this gatekeeper, what face do they have to call themselves disciples of the sage?

After celebrating the White Crane Child's breakthrough, everyone exchanged their questions about the challenges they faced during their cultivation, and each gained something from the experience!

Just then, Guang Chengzi noticed that the spiritual energy on everyone's bodies had begun to dissipate, so he said to Huanglong, "Junior Brother Huanglong, we have troubled you for a long time, and it is time for us to take our leave."

The Antarctic Immortal also noticed the unusual behavior of the disciples of the Chan Sect, and stroked his beard with a smile:

"Yes, after tasting Junior Brother's fine tea, drinking spiritual wine, and eating many spiritual fruits, if we don't go back to seclusion to digest them, I'm afraid Master will strike us with Jade Purity Divine Lightning."

This remark drew chuckles from the crowd.

Indeed, we gained so much from Huanglong this time!

I need to retreat into seclusion and reflect on this.

Huang Long did not try to stop him, but cupped his hands and said, "Fellow disciples, please take your time. I hope that when we meet again next time, you will have gone even further on the path than you have today."

"I hope that when we meet again, Senior Brother Huanglong will have already reached the Quasi-Saint realm."

"Senior Brother Huanglong, I'll definitely give you a big surprise next time we meet."

"..."

Everyone returned the greeting, then used their escape lights to transform into streaks of light and fly away from the cave.

The White Crane Boy walked last, bowed to the Yellow Dragon once more, and then rode away on a cloud.

The Five Elements Courtyard, which had returned to peace, was now empty except for Huang Long, who stood at the gate gazing at the Five Elements Grotto.

A moment later, Huanglong flashed back to the foot of the big ailanthus tree.

Hanging from the branches of the great Chinese toon tree is a spirit cocoon several feet in diameter.

The cocoon was seven-colored, and as spiritual energy circulated on its surface, countless Dao patterns were born out of thin air.

These Dao patterns sometimes transform into the veins of mountains and rivers, sometimes condense into immortal herbs and elixirs, and sometimes manifest as illusory images of spiritual roots.

It is because Zi Ling, nourished by the Innate Enlightenment Tea and the Nine-Turn Creation Origin Golden Elixir, resonates with the Five Elements Grotto Heaven, and this grotto heaven is re-nurturing Zi Ling.

Beyond the Great Toon Tree and the Dao of Time, Bai Hong, Bai Xiao, Yuan Lu, Yuan Zhu, Yuan Shuang, and the seven little Qilin quietly watched over Zi Ling's transformation.

Upon seeing Huang Long, the group bowed in greeting.

Huang Long waved his hand, indicating that the others did not need to be so polite, and his gaze fell on the spirit cocoon hanging on the tree branch.

The dragon's primordial spirit easily penetrated the cocoon wall and saw the purple spirit undergoing metamorphosis inside.

Zi Ling curled up in the heart of the cocoon, her eyes seemingly closed. Although her appearance remained unchanged, everything inside her was being reshaped.

The immense spiritual power, under the regulation of the Nine Revolutions Creation Origin Golden Pill, transformed into innate primordial energy, nourishing the roots of the Purple Spirit and enhancing its origin!

As Huanglong watched Ziling transform, he realized that she not only didn't need to absorb external spiritual energy to replenish herself, but she even slowly released spiritual energy outward through the light cocoon.

He couldn't help but smile wryly. Just how many spiritual fruits and immortal medicines had this little girl devoured to make herself resemble a nine-turn golden elixir?

Huang Long was initially worried that if the source energy was insufficient, he would extract the source energy from many innate spiritual materials to provide for Zi Ling's transformation.

In retrospect, this actually saved a lot of original spiritual materials!

Looking at Zi Ling's appearance, even with the influence of the Great Toon Tree's Time Dao Aura!

The time required would still be considerable, so Huanglong stopped paying attention and allowed it to slowly transform.

"Zi Ling will need an extremely long time," he said to the few people guarding the place. "You don't need to wait here. As usual, go and manage the temple."

"Yes, sir!" the five men replied in unison and dispersed.

The seven little Qilin remained seated in place, without moving.

Huang Long frowned, his eyes sharp as he looked at the seven little Qilin!

Although the seven little Qilins showed fear in the face of the Yellow Dragon's gaze, they still did not move.

The fire qilin roared at the yellow dragon.

"We won't leave...!"

"We are here to receive auspicious blessings for our leader..."
