Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

The Sage of Heaven pointed his fingers like a sword and casually pointed at the Yellow Dragon.

laugh!

A wisp of cyan sword energy appeared out of thin air and instantly disappeared into Huanglong's hand, leaving a thin longsword mark on his palm.

Huang Long shuddered, feeling an unparalleled sword intent coiling in his palm. The sword intent contained within was enough to destroy everything, and he could unleash this sword strike at any moment with just a thought.

"This wisp of sword energy is granted to protect you. It may save your life in a critical moment. However, I do not wish you to use it," the Sage Tongtian said with a smile.

Huang Long was both surprised and delighted, and quickly kowtowed in gratitude: "Disciple thanks Martial Uncle for bestowing the sword. Please rest assured, Martial Uncle, disciple will not use it unless absolutely necessary!"

With this wisp of sword energy, it's as if I've gained an extra life.

After bidding farewell to Tongtian Jiaozhu and Duobao, Huanglong was finally able to relax and flew towards his own dojo on auspicious clouds.

Facing three sages in succession, Huang Long received rewards, but the sages' hearts were unpredictable, leaving him exhausted. Even without deliberately releasing their power, the sages' might was enough to keep him constantly on edge.

After tens of thousands of years of absence, the spiritual energy in the temple was even stronger, the Taoist charm was even richer, and the scenery was even more magnificent than before he left.

However, upon entering the training ground, Huanglong was slightly taken aback.

He sensed that besides Zi Ling and the other living beings within the Daoist temple, there was another aura present. Its Daoist charm was pure and profound, faintly displaying the non-action of his senior master, and it was also at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Huanglong passed through the Five Elements Grand Array that enveloped the dojo and landed in the gate of the Five Elements Courtyard.

Huanglong saw the figure sitting cross-legged under the Enlightenment Tea Tree, and it was none other than Xuandu!

Sensing the appearance of the Yellow Dragon, Xuandu awoke from his cultivation and saw the Yellow Dragon's figure.

He quickly stood up, his face beaming with joy: "Senior Brother Huanglong, you're finally back."

He then apologized to Huanglong, feeling embarrassed: "Senior brother, this place is quite suitable for cultivating and comprehending the Great Dao, so I, your junior brother, will...!"

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Long interrupted him, "Junior brother, it's my fault. I've made you look after this place for so long, delaying your cultivation!"

Xuandu looked at Huanglong in astonishment. "Senior brother, it's alright. Being at your dojo won't hinder your cultivation!"

As they spoke, Xuandu also sensed the Taiyi Realm aura emanating from Huanglong.

"Extremely surprised, Senior Brother, you've already broken through to the Taiyi realm!"

"Yes, but you've broken through faster; your cultivation has surpassed mine!"

For a moment, Huang Long felt a complex mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

Back when he left Kunlun, Xuandu was still a realm below him in the Golden Immortal realm.

Now, having had some opportunities outside, my cultivation speed has increased significantly, and I have been fortunate enough to step into the Taiyi realm.

Xuandu has always followed the Taiqing Sage in Kunlun, cultivating in peace and tranquility. He has already reached the Taiyi Realm, and judging from the aura he exudes, his foundation is so solid that it is probably even stronger than mine!

"It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others...!"

"What did you say, Senior Brother!" Xuan Du looked at Huang Long muttering to himself in confusion and couldn't help but ask!

"Cough! It's nothing."

Huanglong said with envy, "I knew it! Following a sage is truly the greatest opportunity in the world..."

Xuan Du smiled and said, "Senior brother is joking. It is because you are far away from Kunlun that you are even more charming than before."

"I wonder if you, senior brother, have met the three masters?"

Huang Long nodded: "I just came down from Sanqing Peak and have already paid my respects to Master, Grand Master Uncle, and Tongtian Uncle."

Huang Long picked two tea leaves, and the two of them chatted and drank tea under the Wudao Tea Tree.

Taking the opportunity, Huanglong inquired with Xuandu about the various events that had occurred in Kunlun Mountain during the tens of thousands of years since he left. Xuandu recounted everything in detail.

After a long silence, Xuandu finished speaking, drank the remaining tea in his cup in one gulp, and bid farewell to Huanglong, saying, "Now that you have returned, senior brother, I will not stay any longer. I still need to take care of the master's herb garden, so I will take my leave."

Seeing that Xuandu had already stood up, he quickly plucked dozens of tea leaves from the tree and stuffed them into Xuandu's hand, saying, "Senior brother, you are always welcome to come and study the Great Dao together!"

Watching Xuandu's departing figure, Huanglong summoned Ziling, who was brewing honey.

"Master, you're finally back."

Zi Ling had just landed in the courtyard when she excitedly shouted.

Huanglong patted Ziling's head, looking at the vibrant spiritual herbs in the well-arranged spiritual fields of the dojo, and the herds of spiritual beasts roaming the mountains:

"Thank you for your hard work while I was away, managing the temple to such a state!"

"Master, it's not hard work, because the flowers of these medicinal herbs all belong to me!" Zi Ling said softly, her eyes narrowed.

"Then I'll give you some more tasks."

With a casual wave of his hand, Huang Long conjured up a cluster of radiant immortal herbs and medicinal plants, along with a small pile of vibrant seeds, on the ground, filling the air with their fragrant aroma.

"You can arrange these medicinal herbs and seeds to be planted in the spirit fields again."

When so many rare and exotic herbs appeared before Zi Ling, her narrowed eyes widened instantly, and she leaped and pounced on the pile of immortal herbs.

Seeing Zi Ling's behavior, Huang Long shook his head, "Hopeless, she can't resist any spiritual herb she's never seen before."

He could only shout, "It's yours! It's all yours! Quickly lead your people to plant it, don't kill it!"

"I will obey your decree, sir." He vanished in a flash, and a few breaths later, he led more than ten Purple Jade Peaks at the True Immortal Realm, followed by two Spirit Apes and three Five-Colored Deer, all of whom possessed True Immortal Realm cultivation, to Huanglong.

Pointing to the spirit ape and the five-colored deer, he introduced them to Huanglong, "Master, these are the ones you brought back from Kunlun Mountain. They are very talented in opening up spiritual fields and cultivating spiritual herbs."

Huanglong carefully examined them and found that they were all very talented beasts. With a little training, it would not be a problem for them to grow into Golden Immortals.

"You've made some good choices. From now on, Ziling, you'll be the head steward of our Five Elements Dojo. They'll all be under your management. You're the most important person besides me, so you'll be assigning them tasks." Huanglong gave Ziling a big pancake.

Zi Ling immediately became incredibly energetic, bursting into work with enthusiasm: "Thank you, Master! I will definitely manage our Five Elements Dojo well!"

Zi Ling directed her subordinates to carefully collect the immortal herbs and elixirs.

All living beings began to busy themselves in the mountains, opening up spiritual fields, drawing spiritual springs, and planting spiritual fields in different areas according to the growth habits of each spiritual herb, adding more Taoist charm and vitality to the Taoist temple.

After processing the medicinal herbs, Huanglong summoned the Xuanhuang World Pearl.

He took out the special innate spiritual ore he had obtained from the Witch Clan Exchange. There were only eight pieces, but these ores were all extraordinary, each containing a trace of innate essence.

Huanglong activated the Xuanhuang World Pearl, manipulating the power of the world, drawing upon the earth's veins, and carrying these special innate spiritual minerals, slowly sinking into the depths of the Xuanhuang Realm.

As the spirit ore enters the soil, it immediately connects with the earth's veins beneath, producing a dull thud. Wisps of rosy light shine through the earth, drawing in the rich innate spiritual energy of the Xuanhuang Realm, slowly nourishing it. Over time, it will inevitably give birth to innate mineral veins of corresponding attributes.

As for the vast quantities of innate spirit iron and spirit ore, although they lack innate origin, they are still considered relatively precious spiritual materials.

Huanglong categorized them and stored them in the temple's storeroom.
