Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

The Primordial Celestial Venerable pointed a finger, and an object appeared in the void.

It was an extremely small banner, pale gray in color, with a banner surface no bigger than the palm of your hand and a banner pole as thin as a chopstick.

Yet, the miniature banner was covered with extremely fine primordial patterns, each one like the beginning of time, ancient and mysterious, making one's heart tremble at the sight of it.

"Keep it." The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was calm and indifferent. "If you encounter any problems, summon this banner, and I will arrive immediately."

Huang Long reached out and took the small banner, a familiar aura surging into his body.

That was the origin of the Pangu Banner. Although it was only a wisp, it was enough for him.

Once he unleashes this banner, the Primordial Celestial Venerable can use the connection between the banner's origin and his true form to instantly reach his side through that cause and effect.

Huanglong gripped the small banner and knelt down.

"Disciple bows in gratitude to Master."

The Primordial Celestial Lord did not make him kneel any longer. He raised a finger, and a gentle force lifted him up.

He looked at Huanglong, his eyes filled with nothing but satisfaction.

"Go," said Yuanshi Tianzun.

Huang Long didn't say anything more.

He bowed and left Yuxu Palace, then turned and walked into the vast twilight of Kunlun Mountain.

As Huang Long stepped out of the Kunlun Mountains, he caught a glimpse of a wisp of white cloud flashing past from the mountains out of the corner of his eye. He assumed it was just some little mountain sprite playing around and paid it no mind.

To Huang Long's surprise, that drifting white cloud eventually entered the gates of the Jade Void Palace.

Once outside the Kunlun Mountains, Huanglong stood above the clouds and looked up at the starry sky.

Above the starry sky, there is another layer of the world's membrane.

The primordial world is not infinite; it has clear boundaries. The membrane that envelops the entire world acts like a barrier, isolating it from the raging chaos outside.

Ordinary cultivators would never touch that boundary in their entire lives, but Huanglong was going to that place today.

With a thought, he followed the starlight scattered by the stars in the sky and stepped into the starry sky.

The yellow dragon traversed through it without stopping.

Each time his figure reappeared, it meant he had traversed an endless distance. Even as a quasi-saint, it still took him several days to fly from Kunlun Mountain to the area where the fetal membrane of the primordial world was located.

The further you go, the sparser the starlight becomes.

In the end, apart from a sliver of sunlight, not even the stars could be seen. All that remained was boundless nothingness, a void that was not simply empty "nothingness," but rather a "void" containing a more primal and tyrannical power.

The rules of the primordial world have become extremely thin here, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is almost non-existent.

Then he saw the barrier.

The world's membrane is like a vast, immeasurable, semi-transparent dome, stretching across the world's edge.

It is not a physical entity, but a flowing, ever-surging energy barrier with mysterious patterns floating on it, each pattern as vast as a mountain range.

Inside the amniotic sac is everything in the primordial world: the laws of the Great Dao, the stars of the heavens, the primordial earth, and all living things, all operating endlessly within that barrier.

Outside the amniotic sac lies a chaotic void.

Huanglong stopped not far from the amniotic sac.

He turned around and took one last look at the primordial wilderness behind him.

Looking out from this vantage point, the primordial land has become a blurry mass of light and shadow, with mixed colors and indistinct outlines.

He could still roughly make out the location of Kunlun Mountain, but it was just a very faint blue shadow. Shouyang Mountain, Jin'ao Island, the East Sea, Nanzhanbuzhou... all those places he had traveled countless times were now shrunk into barely perceptible spots, embedded in that mass of light and shadow.

He glanced at it only once before turning his head away, his eyes becoming extremely determined.

Thirty-six perfectly round pearls appeared, floating and circling around him. Each pearl emitted a deep blue light, transforming into a flowing rainbow that protected him in the very center.

Dinghai Pearl.

The thirty-six beads swirled and danced around him, their light growing ever brighter and deeper...!

As all thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls appeared, an aura belonging to a primordial treasure was captured by the Primordial Heavenly Dao.

In that instant, throughout the primordial world, several gazes imbued with boundless divine power simultaneously turned in the same direction.

Deep within the Eight Views Palace of Shouyang Mountain, the Sage of Taiqing opened his eyes, which had been slightly closed.

His gaze pierced through the infinite distance, across the void of the starry sky, and landed directly on the thirty-six swirling, luminous pearls.

The Supreme Saint showed a hint of surprise on his face, but his gaze only lingered on the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl for a moment before he looked away.

In the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who was preaching to the white cloud in front of him, also slightly raised his eyes.

His brow twitched almost imperceptibly, then he regained his usual solemnity.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that his fingers tightened slightly as he held the jade ruyi. Even he himself was unaware that his disciple was actually holding a supreme innate treasure.

Inside the Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island, the Tongtian Sect Leader sat up straight from his sword throne.

His eyes widened in shock, and his voice rang out in disbelief: "The Sea-Stabilizing Pearl...it's actually a supreme innate treasure?"

Within Mount Sumeru, the gazes of the two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, also turned toward the direction of the world's membrane. When they saw the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, Jieyin did not make any move, but the Seven Treasures Tree in Zhunti's hand transformed into a seven-colored rainbow light that soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, it traversed endless space, appeared outside the starry sky, and swept straight toward the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Huanglong naturally sensed the strange movement coming from the primordial world. He looked at the terrifying seven-colored rainbow light, but there was no fear in his eyes. He just grinned.

Before him, a colossal painting, obscuring the sky and sun, unfolded, within which yin-yang symbols of black and white swam.

The terrifying seven-colored rainbow light froze instantly before the yin-yang fish, unable to move even a fraction, revealing its true form.

"How dare you, Primordial One!"

At the same time, a Pangu Banner exuding a terrifying aura appeared beneath the Yin-Yang Diagram. As it swayed, it unleashed a terrifying beam of light that struck the Seven Treasures Tree.

Click!

Cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the Seven Treasures Tree, which was incredibly terrifying in Huanglong's eyes.

Inside Mount Sumeru, Zhunti's aura fluctuated. The Seven Treasures Tree, which was connected to his Great Dao, suffered severe damage, which naturally caused damage to his Great Dao as well!

The only saving grace was that the Seven Treasures Tree, when struck by the Pangu Banner, also broke free from the Taiji Diagram's confinement and was retrieved by Zhunti!

The Taiji diagram remained still, but the Pangu Banner swayed gently, as if it were about to unleash another strike at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Jieyin let out a long sigh, and the golden lotus of merit beneath him instantly flew out, traversing through layers of space, appearing before the Seven Treasures Tree, firmly protecting the Seven Treasures Tree as it descended towards Mount Sumeru.

A sword light containing the power to sever the Dao of all things in heaven and earth slashed out from Jin'ao Island, landing precisely on the Golden Lotus of Merit in the horrified gazes of Jieyin and Zhunti.

Click!

Some lotus petals broke away from the origin of the Golden Lotus of Merit, and the sword light dissipated.

"Never learns from your mistakes!"
