Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"There is a Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in the bottle, which is your reward. I will give you another reward after the matter is accomplished."

Huang Long swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Nine-Turn Golden Elixir! A supreme elixir personally refined by the Sage of Taiqing, a single pill can instantly transform a being into a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

There is also a jade bottle of the acquired spiritual treasure level.

The immense reward instantly dispelled Huang Long's fear of danger. He immediately bowed and accepted the task from the Sage Taiqing: "Disciple receives the decree!"

The Supreme Sage nodded slightly, having anticipated his reaction.

Another beam of clear light flew out, transforming into a palm-sized piece of jade iron. Yin and Yang energies flowed naturally on it, evolving into a Tai Chi pattern, which was extremely mysterious.

"This is bestowed upon you; it contains a wisp of my sealed divine power. If your life is in danger, use it to protect you."

Huanglong received the jade iron with both hands. It was warm and smooth to the touch. Although it looked like metal, it was even warmer and cooler than the top-grade innate spiritual jade. It had its own Daoist charm.

"With this divine power protecting him, as long as no other saint intervenes, he can come and go as he pleases in the vast primordial world?"

Huanglong carefully put the two treasures close to his body.

The Sage Taiqing said no more, and gently made a gesture in the air.

Without a sound.

A spatial rift, whose edges kept closing and then cracking, and whose interior exuded a chilling aura, suddenly appeared in front of Huanglong.

A deep passage slowly emerged from the crack, connecting to an endless distance, inspiring awe in the dragon.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Long touched the jade iron in his arms, and his fear of the unknown immediately dissipated a bit.

He turned to Xuandu beside him and quickly transmitted a message through his divine sense, informing him of the activation and control methods of the formation in his own dojo. He earnestly said, "Junior Brother Xuandu, I don't know how long it will take for me to return from this trip. Please help me look after my Five Elements Dojo...!"

Xuan Du returned the greeting with a serious expression, saying, "Senior brother, please rest assured, with me here, nothing will happen."

Huang Long nodded, summoned the Five Elements Pagoda, which floated above his head, and a shield of five-colored light enveloped him. He then stepped into the spatial rift!

He didn't know how much time had passed—perhaps just a moment, or perhaps a long time—when Huanglong suddenly felt a lightness all over his body, and once again sensed the existence of the laws of heaven and earth.

"Boom!!!" Before Huanglong could react.

An aura mixed with the remnants of various violent laws of destruction surged forth like a towering wave, crashing against the shield emanating from his Five Elements Pagoda and creating ripples that nearly sent the Yellow Dragon flying.

When he finally managed to steady himself, what came into view was a sky shrouded in layers of swirling, dark red dust, obscuring the light and making the scene below look like a doomsday sunset.

This scene made it impossible for Huanglong to tell whether his location was the center or the outer area of ​​Hongyun's self-destruction.

The smoke and dust were so dense that they could not be dispersed, and the naked eye could only see a radius of about 100 meters. The smoke and dust swirled and collided with each other, emitting a strange low rumbling sound, which made Huanglong feel a sense of unease, agitation, and mental instability.

Huang Long pondered for a moment, "Since I can't see the surrounding situation clearly, I have no choice but to use my primordial spirit!"

A wisp of primordial spirit power slowly emerged from his body, sweeping across a radius of a hundred meters within his sight. Seeing that nothing unusual had occurred, he then probed into the billowing dust.

A gust of wind swept by, carrying countless wisps of dark red dust.

However, at the very moment Huanglong's primordial spirit came into contact with the dark red smoke and dust—!

"laugh--!"

A very faint burning sound rang out, like a drop of water falling onto a red-hot iron!

"Ugh—!"

The primordial spirit that Huanglong probed into the red smoke was instantly corroded and worn away, and the remaining wisp of primordial spirit spread towards Huanglong.

Huang Long felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow. The wear and tear on his primordial spirit caused him to let out a suppressed groan of pain. His face turned deathly pale instantly, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

This pain does not affect the physical body, but burns directly on the primordial spirit!

The feeling was like being repeatedly pierced by millions of poisoned needles while being roasted over a raging fire, a terrible pain that was frantically assaulting his soul!

Huanglong immediately severed his primordial spirit outside his body, allowing it to be corroded by the dark red smoke and dust.

"This is no ordinary smoke or dust! It is the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Sand that Hongyun refined in the Soul-Scattering Gourd, which is specifically designed to counter the primordial spirit and wear down the divine soul and true spirit!"

Huanglong Zhenren broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he hadn't used his full primordial spirit to investigate. He immediately sat down cross-legged, took out several spiritual herbs from the Xuanhuang Realm to nourish his soul and swallowed them. He then took out a tea leaf, put it in his mouth, and circulated the Primordial Golden Chapter to gently nourish and moisturize his injured primordial spirit.

Then, he offered up the Pure White Lotus to protect and purify his primordial spirit. After a long while, the damage to his primordial spirit was finally restored and healed, and the burning pain that had penetrated deep into his soul was completely removed.

He looked with lingering fear at the still churning, sky-obscuring red sand and miasma, his eyes filled with unprecedented horror and solemnity.

"What powerful Soul-Scattering Red Sand... It's so domineering! Even though my master is dead and his soul has vanished, it easily corroded my primordial spirit without anyone controlling it!" He muttered to himself, his voice trembling slightly.

"Even Hongyun, the universally acknowledged good-natured man of the primordial world, has cultivated such a ferocious divine power. Indeed, none of these powerful figures who have achieved the quasi-saint status are simple!"

The path of exploring the primordial spirit is now completely blocked.

Huanglong sat silently in place, adjusting his breathing for a long time, thinking about what to do next. Since he couldn't find out where he was, he would start from here.

With the Xuanhuang World Pearl present, there's no need to worry about spiritual energy depletion; it can last for tens of thousands of years without any problem.

He dared not be negligent. First, he kept his mind focused, and then solemnly took out a gourd with a purple-gold hue.

The gourd's surface rippled with Daoist energy, and it contained a hidden glow within. It was the Purple Gold Gourd given to him by his Grand Master Uncle, and it was ranked among the finest innate items.

In Journey to the West, this gourd is quite famous. As long as you hold this treasure and shout the opponent's real name, if they dare to answer, they will be instantly sucked into the gourd. In just a short while, the person sucked in will be turned into pus and blood, and their body and soul will be destroyed.

This gourd, in this place, loudly proclaims the name of Red Cloud?

Is the eldest master trying to collect Hongyun's soul?

still……!

He dared not ponder the sage's meaning any further, and simply offered up the gourd as instructed by his senior uncle.

The gourd hung in the air, its surface swirling with Daoist patterns, emitting a soft and mysterious ripple that temporarily dispelled the smoke and dust in the surrounding area.

He channeled his magical power into his mouth, amplifying his voice to a booming tone, and shouted three times into the swirling dust:

"Red Clouds!"

"Red Clouds!"

"Red Clouds!"
