Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Having strengthened his own foundation and auxiliary cultivation skills, Huanglong turned his gaze to his other spiritual creatures, who were also important aids on his path of cultivation.

A single drop merged into the Xuanhuang World Pearl, the very first thing Huanglong obtained. It had long since become Huanglong's natal magic weapon, containing a nascent miniature world within. With the fusion of the origin of creation, the pearl hummed, its surface shimmering with light. The distinction between the pure and impure world within the pearl became increasingly clear, and the laws Huanglong had comprehended were slowly imprinted upon it, significantly enhancing its potential.

One drop was chosen to be given to that ninth-grade Pure World White Lotus. This lotus was originally a twelfth-grade lotus, but it was damaged in its early years, and its essence was depleted. Huanglong also expended a great deal of energy to keep it from falling to the ninth grade.

As the essence of creation dripped down, the white lotus swayed gently, its petals unfurling and emitting an increasingly pure and holy white light. Although its essence had only increased slightly, it was clearly full of vitality, and the purifying Daoist charm it emitted became increasingly rich and pure.

A drop of it merged into the withered, charred, and eroded innate spiritual root of the Enlightenment Tea Tree branch, which Zhen Yuanzi had given him and which was now devoured by demonic energy and had only a sliver of life left.

It took more than ten thousand years in the Pure World White Lotus Pond to purify the demonic energy that was entangled with the original life force. It almost caused even that last bit of life force to dissipate. Huanglong then consumed several drops of Three Lights Divine Water to restore its life force, but it has never sprouted.

The essence of creation merged into the charred, broken branches, and the charred outer shell on the surface of the branches peeled off in a rustling sound, revealing a faint trace of life flowing through them!

Although still faint, the life force that had been dormant for countless eons was finally awakened again, and a faint, pure and spiritual Daoist charm began to permeate, calming Huanglong's mind.

It's just unknown when it will sprout and take root, or when it will truly regain its innate spiritual roots and the charm of the tea tree.

A drop of the acquired spiritual root of the Enlightenment Tea Tree, which Huanglong often used to meditate on the Great Dao under its tree, was incorporated into the tree. After tens of thousands of years of cultivation, this spiritual root cultivated by Huanglong himself had reached the limit of the lower grade of the acquired spiritual root. A wisp of creation essence was just enough to upgrade it to the middle grade of the acquired spiritual root.

Before reaching the Great Luo stage, Huanglong still needs this Enlightenment Tea Tree to aid his cultivation.

The ginseng fruit tree sapling with acquired spiritual roots in the Five Elements Courtyard has grown considerably taller and more lush over the past ten thousand years. Huanglong infused a drop of the Origin of Creation into the tree's essence. Nourished by the Origin of Creation, the fruit tree shimmered with a green light, its branches and leaves became even greener, and it grew a full zhang tall, now reaching a height of 2 zhang. The life essence it exuded became even more concentrated and mellow.

Finally, Huanglong looked at the last remaining drop of Creation Essence, pondered for a moment, and flicked his finger. This drop was not assigned to a specific target, but flew to the highest point in the center of the cave, suddenly exploded, and transformed into billions of tiny, imperceptible points of light, like a gentle, sweet rain, silently spreading throughout the entire Five Elements Cave Heaven.

In an instant, the entire grotto was infused with new vitality. The spiritual energy in the mountains became more vibrant, the immortal herbs and plants became more spiritual, and the spiritual veins beneath the earth became stronger and more active.

The concentration and quality of spiritual energy in the entire dojo have been greatly improved. Under the influence of this drop of the origin of creation and the Daoist charm of numerous spiritual roots, a unique Daoist charm of creation is faintly emerging. Cultivating here will bring endless benefits.

Having done all this, Huanglong had exhausted all of his original source of creation.

"The origin of creation!"

His gaze involuntarily fell upon Mount Buzhou! The pillar of heaven formed from the spine of the great god Pangu!

Ten thousand years ago, the great war between the Lich King and the Demon King was not very brutal, and no Quasi-Saints perished. However, its scope was much wider, and countless mountains and rivers were destroyed, and spiritual veins were severed.

If we can restore those areas ravaged by war and with severed spiritual veins, allowing life to return, we can at least reap some merit and the essence of creation!

This is no faster than meditating and practicing in Kunlun.

Moreover, the demon race is currently guarding the Thirty-Three Heavens, quietly developing and accumulating strength;

Meanwhile, the Wu tribe, having initially occupied the central part of the prehistoric world, was slowly consolidating its control over the land and digesting its gains. Both tribes needed time to process their achievements, and the prehistoric world entered a brief period of peace.

Moreover, the Witch Clan has occupied a vast territory of the Demon Clan, and the good things they have plundered must be considerable. I should prepare more wine, as my Witch Clan friends love to drink it!

"The opportunity is fleeting, and we must seize this rare moment of peace."

There's another thing in Huanglong's plan: climbing Mount Buzhou once is equivalent to coming to the prehistoric world; not climbing Mount Buzhou is like not coming at all. Last time, time was rushed, and it coincided with the war between the two races, but this time the timing is just right.

"That's the spine of the Great God Pangu, the pillar of the primordial world! Having come this far, if I can't personally climb it, feel the immense power and will that created the world, and comprehend the Daoist essence left behind by the Great God Pangu, wouldn't I be entering a treasure mountain only to return empty-handed?" A strange premonition told him that the sooner he went, the better.

Having made up his mind, Huang Long no longer hesitated.

He summoned Zi Ling and made arrangements for things in the cave. The Qilin egg was to be cared for. Since it was not nourished by the Yellow Dragon's sweet rain, the Five Elements Essence condensed in the cave would be used to make up for it. He asked Zi Ling to pay attention to the consumption of the Five Elements Essence and replenish it.

Huanglong need not worry about taking care of the spiritual roots and immortal plants, as Ziling is an expert in this field.

Huanglong arrived outside the Jade Purity Palace. The palace gates were not tightly closed, yet they possessed an aura of majesty that inspired awe and deterred anyone from trespassing.

Huang Long straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully outside the palace gate, saying loudly, "Disciple Huang Long requests an audience with Master."

After a moment of silence, a calm yet supremely majestic voice came from the depths of the hall, resounding in Huanglong's ears: "Come in."

Huang Long bowed again before stepping inside.

Yuanshi Tianzun remained seated high on his cloud bed, his aura even more profound, as if all things in heaven and earth were contained within him.

Huang Long walked to the seat and bowed deeply, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

"Um."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded slightly. "Why have you come to see me today instead of meditating in the Daoist temple?"

Huang Long paused slightly, organizing his thoughts, before slowly speaking: "This disciple has been in seclusion for ten thousand years, and my cultivation has made a slight breakthrough. Continuing to be in seclusion will be of no benefit."

"Moreover, the war between the Lich King and the Demon King ten thousand years ago caused many areas of Buzhou Mountain to be shattered, spiritual veins to be severed, and all living beings to disappear. As a disciple of the Sage, I am not talented, but I am willing to use my meager creative power to maintain the operation of heaven and earth, recreate this land, and restore the vitality of this place."

"Both the Lich and Demon races are currently recuperating and there are no signs of war for the time being. Now is the perfect time!"

Huanglong lowered his head even further: "It is only because my eldest master said 'Do not wander aimlessly in the primordial wilderness' ten thousand years ago, that I have come here to inform my master and earnestly request your permission."

A brief silence fell over the hall. Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze fell upon Huanglong, as if he could see through all his thoughts and destiny.

After a moment, Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and said in a gentle voice, "You have the heart to maintain the operation of the primordial world, very good. Since your mind is made up, go! Your master will not stop you."

"Thank you, Master!" Huang Long felt a great weight lifted from his heart and kowtowed again.

Yuanshi Tianzun paused for a moment, then said, "When you travel outside, remember that you are a disciple of the Three Pure Ones, and everything you do represents the face of the Three Pure Ones."

"As long as you act with integrity, anyone who dares to bully the weak will be met with the full force of my Pangu Banner!"
