Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Zhen Yuanzi's eyes brightened slightly as he recalled the vibrant rain that had brought life to the land, which was indeed extraordinary.

After a moment's thought, he readily agreed, "Since you possess such supernatural power, please give it a try, young friend. I also wish to see if my spiritual root can cultivate a new one."

The two hit it off immediately, and Zhen Yuanzi led Huanglong to the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple.

Pushing open the courtyard gate and stepping inside, Huang Long felt a rich spiritual energy mixed with the breath of life rush towards him. He saw a large tree with flowing light standing in the garden. Although it was only ninety-nine feet tall, its canopy was huge and Dao patterns were growing on it.

Hidden among the dense leaves were thirty fist-sized fruits, the unripe ginseng fruits, their features blurred, their limbs barely visible, their spiritual light subdued, as if they were just ordinary spiritual fruits.

The entire ginseng fruit tree is connected to the earth's veins of the entire Longevity Mountain Range, gathering and accumulating spiritual energy and the laws of the Great Dao with every breath.

Huang Long stood before the ginseng fruit tree, concentrating his mind and calming his spirit. He circulated his magical power, unleashing his supernatural abilities to draw upon the water element in the world, resonating with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

A moment later, a vibrant cloud of color condensed above the ginseng fruit tree, and a gentle, nourishing rain began to fall.

The sweet rain fell on the branches and leaves of the ginseng fruit tree and was absorbed in an instant.

After a refreshing rain, the ginseng fruit tree visibly regained its vitality, its branches and leaves becoming even greener. The thirty small fruits on the tree had also grown slightly larger.

Zhen Yuanzi, who had been observing from the sidelines, saw that Huanglong's magical rain was truly effective. He clapped his hands in praise, "Young friend, your magical powers are amazing! This rain can actually nourish innate spiritual roots and accelerate their development!"

Finally relieved, Zhen Yuanzi didn't hesitate at all and waved his whisk!

With three soft "snap" sounds, a section of the main green branch, about three feet long and brimming with rich Yi wood essence, along with two slightly thinner side branches, was cut off.

After the main branch was cut off, the ginseng fruit tree trembled slightly, and its vitality dropped by a fraction. It was clear that taking off both the main and side branches had damaged its essence!

"Senior! This..."

Huang Long was quite surprised to see this. He never expected that Zhen Yuanzi would be so decisive, even cutting off a section of the main branch!

Zhen Yuanzi, however, did not care at all. He handed the three sections of the spiritual branch to Huanglong and said with a smile, "Since you have such supernatural powers, I will give you this branch. Perhaps you can cultivate it and make it survive, which will fulfill a wish of this humble Taoist."

"This minor loss can be recovered if you stay at my Wuzhuang Temple for a while longer and receive more rain."

Huang Long was deeply moved, knowing that Zhen Yuanzi was doing this because he was afraid that he would fail.

Looking up, he noticed a slight leakage of spiritual energy from the broken branch of the mother tree. Feeling a pang of pity, he pondered for a moment and then took out three drops of the Three Lights Divine Water from the Creation Gourd.

"Senior's generous gift is too much for me to accept. These three drops of the Three Lights Divine Water can quickly restore the lost essence of the Ginseng Fruit Tree. Please do not refuse." Huang Long handed the Three Lights Divine Water to Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi was also moved when he saw that it was the Three Lights Divine Water. He and Hongyun had searched all over the prehistoric world and only found a few drops. This disciple of the sage gave him three drops.

He gave Huanglong a deep look, accepted the divine water without hesitation, and poured a drop into the broken part of the mother tree.

Divine light flowed, and the damaged area healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The mother tree's aura quickly returned, and it was believed that it would recover soon.

Then, Huanglong took out three jade basins under the ginseng mother tree, which were filled with the Breath Soil.

He inserted the three branches into the pot and carefully watered them daily with diluted Three Lights Divine Water mixed with spiritual rain condensed from his own divine power.

Furthermore, it often draws out wisps of pure Yi wood energy from the ginseng fruit tree, nourishing these three branches.

In the primordial world, time is the least valuable thing. With the rising and setting of the sun and moon, decades pass in the blink of an eye.

Under Huanglong's tireless nurturing and the protection of the mother tree, two of the three branches miraculously revived, sprouting new roots and tender leaves!

Although it lacks the innate power of the mother tree, it is still full of spiritual energy and has its own unique Daoist charm, thus ranking among the acquired realms!

Among them, the seedlings nurtured by the main branch actually reached the level of high-grade acquired spiritual roots, while those nurtured by the side branches also became low-grade acquired spiritual roots, which is extremely rare.

On this day, as Huanglong watched the two ginseng fruit tree seedlings sprout new buds and felt the divine aura descend from the heavens, he was deeply moved and blessed with good fortune.

He immediately sat cross-legged, and the details of the Primordial Celestial Venerable's teachings on the Taiyi Realm appeared in Huanglong's mind. Jade Purity Qi surrounded his body, and various strange phenomena evolved amidst the transformations of countless laws.

Different laws of the Great Dao ultimately coalesced into the figure of the Yellow Dragon, revealing the extent of the Yellow Dragon's comprehension of the laws between the real and the illusory.

One by one, the Great Dao runes appeared, explaining the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. The figures formed by the laws collided with each other and finally slowly merged, forging the perfect foundation of the Great Dao for the Yellow Dragon.

When the foundation of the Great Dao is perfected, essence, energy, and spirit reach their peak!

Over the decades, Huanglong guarded the spiritual root every day, sensing the changes in the laws emanating from it during its growth. He also verified the Daoist aura of the ginseng fruit being refined within his body, sorting out the accumulation of tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, and his understanding of the Great Dao laws became increasingly perfect.

Huanglong's "foundation of the Great Dao" had already reached a state of perfection without anyone realizing it.

In an instant, a huge vortex of spiritual energy formed around Huanglong, continuously spreading towards Wanshou Mountain. The innate spiritual energy in the mountain was drawn in and converged here, surging into Huanglong's body.

That represents the ultimate sublimation of the three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit.

Zhen Yuanzi, already alarmed, appeared to protect Huanglong. Seeing Huanglong's condition, he nodded and said, "With such a perfect foundation and profound potential, a top-grade Dao seed should be planted in him."

Without hesitation, he activated the Wanshou Mountain Grand Formation, gathering the spiritual energy of the entire Wanshou Mountain's earth veins. He even used the Earth Book to continuously supply Huanglong with spiritual energy, helping him break through.

Huanglong focused his mind inward, and on the foundation of the Great Dao, the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit slowly condensed into three radiant "seeds of the Great Dao"!

When the seed of the Great Dao is planted in the Taiyi Realm, the three flowers will bloom, and the Great Luo will be achieved.

The three seeds slowly sank into the foundation of the Great Dao, signifying that he had officially entered the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal and planted the seeds for the realm of Daluo!

This breakthrough took more than a hundred years. On this day, Huanglong's aura suddenly changed, and then a Taiyi Realm pressure flashed by.

He opened his eyes, his gaze shimmering with Daoist principles, as if countless Great Dao Laws flowed within them, before vanishing. He had achieved the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm!

After stabilizing his cultivation, Huang Long went to the front yard, but did not see Zhen Yuanzi. He searched around but found nothing.

He happened to meet Qingfeng and Mingyue, and learned from the two boys that Zhenyuan Daxian had helped him break through his breakthrough and seemed to have gained some enlightenment, and had gone into seclusion to cultivate more than ten years ago.

Huang Long felt a mix of disappointment and gratitude. Zhen Yuanzi, a quasi-saint, was in seclusion for thousands of years and should not be disturbed.

Having no interest in waiting quietly at Wuzhuang Temple, he bid farewell to the gentle breeze and bright moon.
