Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

The nine peaches were all plump and round, radiating a faint glow. Their bodies were pinkish-white, with faint patterns of laws flowing across them, exuding a rich fragrance and Daoist charm.

Huang Long's eyes lit up slightly.

Peaches!

It originated from the original, undivided, top-grade spiritual root mother tree!

"Uncle-Master..."

Haotian said, "You have restored the stars of the heavens and made a great contribution. These peaches are rightfully yours."

"Take it. You'll need it when you go into seclusion."

Huang Long accepted the peach without ceremony and put it in his sleeve, saying, "Thank you, Uncle-Master."

Haotian waved his hand, "You are the Ziwei Emperor of the Heavenly Court. The stronger you become, the stronger the Heavenly Court becomes. I hope you will break through to the Quasi-Saint realm soon. At that time, the Heavenly Court will need your help."

Huang Long stood up: "Then this disciple will take his leave."

"Go," Haotian said.

Huanglong bowed to Haotian and the Queen Mother, then turned and walked out of the Lingxiao Palace.

After leaving the Heavenly Court, Huanglong did not return directly to Kunlun.

He went to the sea eye.

The chaotic energy within the Chaos Yin-Yang Pearl and the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl has long been exhausted!

He needs to refill them before going into seclusion.

After emerging from the sea eye, Huanglong did not linger and returned directly to Kunlun.

Jade Void Palace, the Daoist temple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, is the core of Kunlun Mountain.

The square in front of the palace is paved with jade and filled with spiritual energy.

Huang Long landed in front of the palace gate, straightened his robes, and said respectfully, "Disciple Huang Long requests an audience with Master."

A moment later, the palace gates slowly opened, and the white crane emerged from them. Upon seeing the yellow dragon, it showed an excited expression!

"Senior Brother Huanglong, the master is waiting for you!"

Huang Long nodded to the white crane, "Thank you for your trouble, Junior Brother!"

He then stepped inside and came before the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sat regally on a cloud chariot, surrounded by myriad rays of light.

His face was dignified and sacred, making people afraid to look directly at him.

"Disciple Huang Long greets Master." Huang Long bowed respectfully.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Huanglong Zhenren, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Rise," said Yuanshi Tianzun. "You have done a good job in restoring the celestial bodies."

"Thank you for the praise, Master." Huang Long stood up. "This disciple was merely doing his duty."

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head: "Even the most basic duties are judged by how well they are done. You have done very well, and I am very satisfied."

He paused, then asked, "What are your plans next? To go into seclusion and attempt to break through to the Quasi-Saint level?"

Master Huanglong nodded: "Master is wise. This disciple has accumulated enough experience and it is time for me to break through."

Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a moment and said, "Your path is different from that of ordinary quasi-saints, so I don't have much advice for you."

"But you can rest assured to break through. If you fail, your master will still be here for you."

"This disciple will certainly not disappoint Master." Looking at Yuanshi Tianzun, Huanglong felt a surge of emotion.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said nothing more.

Huang Long bowed again and left Yuxu Palace.

After leaving Yuxu Palace, Huanglong Zhenren went straight back to his own Daoist temple. His other fellow disciples in Kunlun Mountain were still in the prehistoric world and had not yet returned.

They were also unaware that Yuanshi Tianzun had already returned to Kunlun.

Huanglong returned to the Five Elements Cave Heaven. Now, everyone else is traveling in the prehistoric world, while Ziling is guarding the cave heaven.

Just as Huanglong crossed the grand formation of the Five Elements Grotto Heaven, a purple light rushed towards him from afar.

It was Zi Ling who sensed his presence.

"Master, you're back." Huang Long looked at Zi Ling and nodded.

"Yes, I'm back!"

The two returned to Wudao Peak.

Huang Long recounted to Zi Ling, one by one, the things he had done outside over the years.

From temporarily acting as the ruler of the underworld... all the way to establishing the cycle of the four seasons and restoring the celestial bodies.

Zi Ling listened intently, her eyes filled with admiration for Huang Long and longing for the primordial world.

He paused, then said, "I'm going into seclusion for a while now that I'm back. It might be a long time."

Zi Ling looked at him with a joyful expression, "Really? Then Master, you'll stay here forever."

Huang Long nodded. He saw that Zi Ling's cultivation had also reached the bottleneck of the mid-stage of Taiyi. Because he had only given half of the instructions, he gave Zi Ling some Enlightenment Tea and told her to go into seclusion to cultivate.

Then, Huanglong arrived at the big Chinese toon tree.

This innate spiritual root, imbued with the essence of time, will become a crucial aid to his seclusion.

Huanglong sat cross-legged under the big ailanthus tree, immersing his mind in the Xuanhuang Realm.

His seclusion was to evolve the Xuanhuang Realm and perfect the rules of heaven and earth within it.

The Xuanhuang Realm was the foundation upon which he attained enlightenment.

Under his long years of nurturing, this world, though not as vast as the primordial world, is complete in all its aspects, rich in spiritual energy, and has given birth to countless living beings!

But Huanglong knew it wasn't enough, far from enough!

The Xuanhuang Realm is not yet completely independent of the Primordial World.

It's like a vine clinging to a giant tree; although it has its own branches, leaves, and roots, it ultimately needs to draw nutrients from the giant tree.

What he wanted was for the Xuanhuang Realm to be independent of the primordial world and to exist independently in the chaos.

Several conditions need to be met to achieve this.

First, the complete laws of the Great Dao.

The more complete the Great Dao Laws of the Xuanhuang Realm are, the more self-sufficient it becomes, and the less it needs to rely on the outside world.

Over the years, Huanglong has been imprinting various Great Dao Laws into the Xuanhuang Realm, and has now made great progress.

Among them, the most important is the law of the six realms of reincarnation.

When he was the ruler of the underworld, he comprehended the mysteries of the six realms of reincarnation.

Although that period was long and tedious, the gains were enormous.

With Houtu's help, he thoroughly comprehended the fundamental laws of the Six Paths of Reincarnation and imprinted them completely into the Xuanhuang Realm.

Now, the underworld in the Xuanhuang Realm has become completely intact.

Those weak creatures, after dying in the Xuanhuang Realm, can complete their reincarnation in the underworld.

Their true spirits are reincarnated through the six realms of reincarnation, beginning a new life.

The entire cycle of reincarnation does not require the assistance of the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the primordial world; it is entirely completed by the Xuanhuang Realm itself.

Of course, there are also some powerful beings whose true spirits are too strong for the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Xuanhuang Realm to bear.

If these beings wish to be reincarnated, they still need to return to the primordial world and rely on the six paths of reincarnation there.

It's not that Huanglong can't do it, but rather that the current level of the Xuanhuang Realm is not high enough.

Although the Xuanhuang Realm is an independent world, it currently relies on the Primordial World for its existence.

It is like a fruit that has grown out of the primordial wilderness. Although it has its own body and will, it has not yet escaped the protection of the primordial wilderness.

Only when the Xuanhuang Realm completely severs ties with the Primordial World and exists independently in the Chaos will this connection be severed.

Only then can the Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Xuanhuang Realm truly become independent and be able to bear powerful True Spirit Reincarnation!
