Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Jieyin and Zhunti retrieved the Golden Lotus of Merit and the Seven Treasures Tree, their faces extremely grim. Both treasures were damaged and would be difficult to restore without several eons of nurturing.

In particular, the Golden Lotus of Merit was severed from its origin by Tongtian. The cost of remelting it back into one and restoring it to its peak was something that even a saint like Zhunti could hardly bear.

What angered them even more was the taunting that followed Tongtian's sword strike...!

In the Nuwa Palace, the goddess Nuwa shifted her gaze to the edge of the world. After a moment, her gaze fell upon Mount Sumeru, where the Seven Treasures Tree and the Golden Lotus of Merit were cracked open. A mocking smile appeared on her lips.

"Serves you right!"

Nuwa then looked away, as if she hadn't seen anything.

Those quasi-saints and powerful beings in their respective dojos were unaware of what was happening in the world.

But in that instant, they felt the terrifying killing intent emanating from the entire primordial world, which disrupted their own Dao.

Huanglong respectfully bowed to the Taiji diagram and Pangu banner in front of him.

He knew that all the saints were watching him, and he could also sense the emotions contained in some of those gazes.

But he didn't turn around, nor did he stop to explain.

The radiance of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl illuminated his entire body, and the light and the violent aura seeping from the chaotic void resonated with each other, emitting a fine and deep hum.

He took a deep breath... In this airless place, the movement was more like a habitual ritual, then he lifted his foot and stepped across the world's membrane.

In that instant, he felt as if the whole world had been pulled away from his feet.

The moment Huanglong stepped out of the world's membrane, it lost its sense of "before" and "after".

He clearly remembered that he had just crossed that primordial barrier, but now he didn't know how long he had been swept along, perhaps for a breath, perhaps for hundreds of years. The raging chaotic energy was as unreasonable as a hurricane, it just surged, tore, and swept, pushing everything that entered into it in an unknowable direction.

The halo around the Dinghai Pearl was trembling violently.

Thirty-six beads swirled around him, their chains of light weaving into a dense net that kept out the swirling, gray air currents.

But that isolation wasn't complete.

Fortunately, his flesh and blood, through his deliberate tempering, were as strong as a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and a small amount of chaotic energy could hardly harm him.

He tried to steady himself.

The realm of Quasi-Saints is already a top existence in the primordial world, but in this chaotic void, the power of a Quasi-Saint is like a grain of sand falling into the deep sea, easily swallowed by the tide.

He mobilized his magical power, and the light of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl surged for a moment, freezing him in place for half a breath. Then, the next wave of chaotic storms swept him far away.

Huanglong gritted his teeth.

He closed his eyes, ignoring the endless turbulence and vibrations around him, and sank his mind into the depths of his soul.

The causal lines connecting him to his soul were intertwined, some thick, some thin, some bright, some dark.

The brightest line connects to the direction of Yuanshi Tianzun at Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain; that causal line is as thick as a pillar of light. The next brightest line leads to Shouyang Mountain, and there is another line leading to Jin'ao Island, which, though faint, is still clear.

The authority of the Underworld Emperor Fengdu and the Central Heaven Emperor Ziwei made his connection with the Primordial World no weaker than that of the Heavenly Connection.

The most frequent and closest connections are with the human race.

The countless people of humanity chanted his name day and night: Totem Dragon, Yellow Dragon Ancestor, Dragon God who protects humanity!

Each thought is like an extremely fine thread, and when billions of these threads come together, they make his perception of the primordial world most acute.

Huanglong constantly sensed these pulls, ensuring that he would not lose his way in the primordial world.

As the raging chaotic energy around him gradually subsided, Huanglong, riding the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, gradually stabilized his body.

He then realized that in this chaotic world where space and time were disordered and laws did not exist, there was an enormous chaotic storm in front of him, where he was involved in many causes and effects!

He sensed, following the cause-and-effect connection, that the primordial world was within that chaotic storm.

At this moment, Huanglong floated alone in this hazy void, with 36 Sea-Stabilizing Pearls revolving around him, becoming the only point of light in this chaotic void.

He maintained his causal connection with the primordial world while adapting to the chaos.

When Huanglong fully adapted to the void of chaos, the rage of chaotic energy, and the sense of disorder that transcends time, space, and laws.

He then rode the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl forward into the chaotic storm ahead!

However, with each step he took closer to the primordial wilderness, he had to contend with the raging chaotic storm.

His own Dao Laws were constantly being consumed, and he pushed the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to their limit. The thirty-six pearls were arranged in a row of sharp cones, like a chisel inserted into the chaotic torrent.

The closer one gets to the primordial world, the more violent the chaotic energy becomes.

It was a chaotic mess that was almost irrational!

As he entered the chaotic storm and his causal connection with the primordial world became clearer, the previously "uniform" chaotic airflow suddenly became turbulent, like a slowly flowing river suddenly narrowing into a canyon, with the water flow accelerating and whirlpools forming.

Huang Long felt as if he were climbing against the current, and each step forward required ten times the effort of being on the edge of a storm.

The faster the flow of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, the more spiritual energy it consumes, in order for the Yellow Dragon to continue moving forward.

If Huanglong didn't have two worlds to support him and be completely unafraid of such consumption, an ordinary Quasi-Saint would already be burning his own Great Dao Origin by now.

However, Huanglong still reduced the range of the thirty-six Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to reduce his own consumption.

When Huanglong finally saw the primordial chaos, which was the size of a grain of rice, he realized he could not get any closer.

Maintaining the energy reserves of the area he was currently in was already causing him considerable distress.

Those hazy air currents are no longer "flowing," but "cutting."

They swept past the halo of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl with a whooshing sound, tearing the halo apart with each sweep.

Huanglong could feel his internal magical power being consumed at an alarming rate. Even a supreme innate treasure like the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl could not sustain him for long under such conditions.

He looked around, trying to find an area where the chaotic air currents were somewhat calmer.

With the protection of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, he slowly moved a short distance in this turbulent and chaotic storm, and finally discovered a "blind spot" with a relatively slow current.

The speed of the chaotic energy in this area suddenly decreased by more than half. Although it was still surging, it no longer possessed that terrifying cutting power.

Huang Long breathed a sigh of relief.

He steadied himself, protected himself with the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, and then summoned the Xuanhuang Realm.

The moment the Xuanhuang Realm appeared, the rapidly spinning chaotic energy around it suddenly stopped.

In an instant, the endless chaotic energy flow deviated from its original trajectory and surged toward the Xuanhuang Realm from all directions.

Like a pack of hyenas driven mad by hunger and smelling blood, they pounced on it in a frenzy.
