Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"The gap between us is widening."

Upon hearing this, Huang Long gave him a disgruntled look.

Just one glance.

Taiyi suddenly felt a chill run down his back, making the hairs on his body stand on end, even though he was a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Huang Long spoke, his voice tinged with concern: "You should be glad that you've broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

He paused for a moment.

"Otherwise, when I return to Kunlun, I will give you special tutoring to help you hone your foundation."

As he spoke, Huang Long's lips curled up slightly.

Taiyi saw that arc and couldn't help but shudder.

"Senior brother is joking, joking." Taiyi Qian laughed, taking a half step back without making a sound. "I have already broken through to the Great Luo realm, and my Dao foundation is very solid, very solid."

Huang Long's lips still curved into that same smile: "Whether it's stable or not, we'll talk about it when we get back."

Taiyi's smile froze completely on his face.

Guang Chengzi stood not far away, watching this scene unfold, but did not interrupt as usual.

His gaze met that of Duobao across from him.

The two chief disciples, the chief disciple of the Chan Sect and the chief disciple of the Jie Sect, exchanged a glance at each other from several dozen feet apart on the Qingyu Square in front of the Bajing Palace.

There was no hostility or competition in those eyes, only an understanding between fellow "first disciples".

pressure.

Endless pressure.

Guang Chengzi was in the late stage of the Great Luo realm, and Duobao was also in the late stage of the Great Luo realm.

The two were also among the first to become disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

When Huanglong and Xuandu entered the sect, they were a whole realm apart from them.

Now, Huanglong is a Quasi-Saint, and Xuandu is a Quasi-Saint.

And how should they conduct themselves, one being the chief disciple of the Chan Sect and the other the chief disciple of the Jie Sect?

Just then, a gentle voice rang out.

"Gentlemen."

Xuan Du walked down the steps in front of the Eight Views Palace.

His voice wasn't loud, but it naturally drew everyone's attention.

Xuan Du wore a gentle smile.

"Today, fellow disciples gather together, which should be a cause for celebration."

As he spoke, he gently waved his right hand.

The movement was extremely small, but everyone present felt a mysterious fluctuation of magical power!

Under the pine trees at Bajing Palace, the air ripples gently.

Rows of jade tables materialized out of thin air.

Those jade tables were pure white, with smooth, mirror-like surfaces and simple yet ancient cloud patterns carved along their edges.

Before each jade table was a futon, pale blue in color, faintly exuding an aura of tranquility and enlightenment.

Xuandu waved his hand again.

On the jade table, plates of spiritual fruits and cups of brewed spiritual tea were displayed.

The aroma of the tea is enticing, subtly inspiring enlightenment. It is the product of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, a gift from Huanglong to Xuandu.

"Please, fellow disciples."

Xuandu's gaze fell on the Antarctic Immortal, Guangchengzi, Duobao, and Huanglong.

The Old Man of the South Pole smiled and said, "Xuan Du, you and Huang Long are the main characters today, so you two should take your seats first."

Duobao and Guangchengzi both nodded in agreement.

Although they are senior brothers, Huanglong and Xuandu are both quasi-saints at this moment.

"The teachers aren't here, so what are you all being so polite about?"

As Huang Long spoke, he took the lead and sat down in front of one of the jade tables.

His movements were relaxed and natural, as if he were hosting a banquet for his fellow disciples at his own dojo.

Seeing this, Xuandu and the Old Man of the South Pole smiled and took their seats.

After the group sat down, the other disciples went to the jade table.

Xuandu took his seat at the jade table to the right of Huanglong.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, and other disciples of the Chan Sect took their seats in order on the left side of Huanglong, occupying the left side of the square.

Duobao, Jinling Shengmu, Wudang Shengmu, and other disciples of the Jie Sect took their seats in order on the right side of Xuandu.

The four disciples of the Western Sect, Bhaisajyaguru, Mahasthamaprapta, Maitreya, and Ksitigarbha, took their seats at the jade table at the end.

All the disciples of the sage took their places.

The disciples of the Chan Sect, who had a significant conflict with the disciples in Kunlun, stared intently at the seven attendants sitting opposite them; the others, feeling guilty, looked away and dared not make direct contact with the Chan Sect disciples.

Seeing this, Huang Long simply smiled and didn't seem to care.

The four disciples of the Western Sect remained silent, sitting at the end like bystanders, but the Medicine Master's glass-like eyes never left Huanglong and Xuandu.

Xuan Du raised the teacup in front of him.

"Please, everyone!"

The disciples of the sages all raised their teacups and said to Xuandu, "Please!"

Afterwards, the group ate spiritual fruits and sipped enlightenment tea, discussing the changes in the primordial world and the transformations of the Great Dao, sharing their encounters on the primordial land.

The atmosphere gradually warmed up.

Among the three sisters of Sanxiao, Bixiao is the youngest and most lively. She was eating a jujube with juice dripping from the corners of her mouth, which made Qiongxiao scold her repeatedly.

It seemed like just an ordinary party.

Just then, the pharmacist, who was sitting at the end, suddenly stood up. To everyone's surprise, he raised his teacup and addressed Huanglong and Xuandu:

"Pharmacist, congratulations to Senior Brother Huanglong and Senior Brother Xuandu on attaining the Quasi-Saint Dao Fruit."

He paused, glanced at everyone, and continued, "It is a rare occasion for us disciples of a sage to gather together. Since our two senior brothers have already embarked on the path of cultivation, could they perhaps share some of their insights with us?"

The pharmacist's words expressed the sentiments of the other disciples.

Huang Long glanced at him.

The pharmacist trembled slightly, but still kept his eyes fixed on Huanglong and Xuandu.

Huang Long simply put down his teacup, the white jade cup touching the jade table with a soft sound.

"Junior brother wants to know?"

Huang Long remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

The disciples of the Chan Sect looked on with anticipation, while the disciples of the Jie Sect were filled with curiosity.

"Since you are all willing to listen, I will share a few points."

Huanglong finished the tea in his cup and said, "The path of the Great Luo Golden Immortal involves opening the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit to attain the Great Luo."

"But true cultivation only begins at the Great Luo stage."

Upon hearing this, all the Great Luo Golden Immortals present became solemn.

"Within the Great Luo Realm, after the three flowers have fully bloomed, one must begin to comprehend the laws of the Great Dao."

Huanglong's voice was deep and powerful, "Between heaven and earth, there are three thousand Great Daos. The Five Elements, Yin and Yang, space and time... every Great Dao Law is the foundation of the operation of heaven and earth. What a Great Luo Golden Immortal must do is to comprehend these Great Dao Laws."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.

"As you comprehend more and more laws, you will discover that these seemingly independent laws are actually intricately connected. The Five Elements can give birth to all things, Yin and Yang can drive the four seasons, the secret of reincarnation is contained in birth and death, and the principle of cause and effect exists within space and time."

"And the key step for a Quasi-Saint is 'refining'."

"Smelting?" Master Taiyi frowned.

"Not bad." Huang Long nodded. "Use a major Dao as a seed, and transform all the Dao laws you have comprehended into nutrients to evolve the Dao fruit."

"Once you achieve the Dao Fruit, it means you've reached the end of your journey within the Great Luo Realm. The next step... is to sever the lingering attachment of the 'One Corpse'."

"Sever one of my corpses and break through to Quasi-Saint."

He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and moistened his throat.

"...After severing your corpse, your control over the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth will undergo a qualitative leap. Originally, you could only passively influence the laws of heaven and earth around you through the Dao Fruit. After severing your corpse, you can use the Dao Fruit to draw upon the power of the Great Dao, and the Dao will accompany you in every move you make."
