Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

"Fellow Taoist Xuandu..."

Zhen Yuanzi's voice trembled, his eyes filled with unbelievable joy:

"Are you... are you telling the truth?!"

Xuan Du smiled slightly:

"When have I ever lied to anyone?"

Zhen Yuanzi was stunned.

Yes.

Although Xuandu was shrewd and meticulous in his planning, he never lied.

He never broke his promises.

He never lied.

If he said that after attaining the Dao and becoming a Saint of the Earthly Path, Hongyun's true spirit could enter reincarnation, and that Hongyun's reincarnated body could be at a higher level...

That is the truth.

It definitely can.

Zhen Yuanzi slowly closed his eyes.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging joy and excitement in his heart.

When he opened his eyes again, there was an unprecedented determination deep within those clear eyes.

"Fellow Taoist Xuandu."

He spoke slowly, his voice calm, yet each word resounding:

"I do."

"Offer the Earth Book to complete the underground passage."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ginseng fruit tree branches and leaves began to dance wildly!

The thirty ginseng fruits trembled violently, as if cheering for him!

Xuan Du looked at him, the smile on his lips deepening.

He nodded slightly:

"good."

"Since you have this intention, I will use the Qiankun Cauldron to refine the Earth Book for you."

He raised his hand and pointed at the Qiankun Cauldron:

"Please, fellow Daoist, put the Earth Book into the cauldron."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded emphatically.

He slowly raised his hand, and the ancient, earthen-yellow scroll reappeared in his palm.

Ground book.

His innate spiritual treasure, the foundation of his spiritual path, and the culmination of his hundreds of millions of yuan of hard work.

At this moment, it lay quietly in his palm, its earthy yellow halo swirling, and the patterns of mountains and rivers clearly visible.

Zhen Yuanzi gazed at it, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Old buddy..."

He murmured softly, his voice tinged with a hint of reluctance, a hint of guilt, and a hint of resolve:

"We've shared billions together, but today... we must part ways."

The Earth Book seemed to sense his thoughts, trembling slightly and emitting a low hum.

In that buzzing sound, there was longing, reluctance, and sorrow.

But more than anything, it's about understanding.

It's a sense of relief.

It is a blessing.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a sense of relief and ease.

"Go."

He said softly:

"Return to the original source, complete the origin, and achieve perfection."

"Don't follow my good-for-nothing master anymore."

The sound faded.

His palm trembled.

The Earth Book transformed into a streak of earth-yellow light, shooting straight towards the Qiankun Cauldron!

"Buzz!"

The Qiankun Cauldron shone with a magnificent, radiant light!

The cauldron opened its mouth like the maw of a giant beast, swallowing the earthy yellow light into it in one gulp!

"boom!!!"

Inside the cauldron, the Earth Book suddenly erupted!

Endless, authentic essence surges forth from the book like a tidal wave!

The illusory images of mountains and rivers revolve!

The phantom images of the sun, moon, and stars flicker!

The earth's energy surged like a dragon dancing wildly!

The laws of the earth are evolving wildly!

The entire Qiankun Cauldron trembled violently!

The tremor was so strong that even the chaotic energy on the cauldron began to become disordered!

Xuan Du's gaze sharpened!

He suddenly raised his hand and slammed it onto the body of the cauldron!

"town!"

The chaotic martial arts essence erupted with a thunderous roar!

That domineering and unparalleled will poured into the cauldron as if it were a tangible substance!

The Dao source within the cauldron suddenly paused!

Taking this opportunity, Xuandu's divine sense surged wildly!

The Chaos Pearl trembled violently deep within the Purple Mansion, as endless chaotic origins surged into the cauldron!

Refine!

Refine the Earth Book!

Refine that supreme treasure containing the essence of the earth!

Refined into... the primordial power to complete the earth!

time flies.

Take a breath.

Ten breaths.

One hundred breaths.

at last.

"Buzz!"

Inside the Qiankun Cauldron, a beam of earth-yellow light shot into the sky!

The beam of light was so dazzling, so vast, and so profound that it instantly enveloped the entire Longevity Hill!

A beam of light pierced through the clouds and shot straight into the deepest hell!

Underworld.

Houtu suddenly opened her eyes!

She suddenly looked up at the yellowish-brown beam of light rushing from the direction of Longevity Mountain!

A sudden burst of light shone from the depths of those chaotic-colored eyes!

"Book from the ground!"

"Authentic Origin!"

"Finally...it's here!"

Longevity Hill, Wuzhuang Temple.

Under the ginseng fruit tree.

Xuan Du stood before the Qiankun Cauldron, gazing at the earthen-yellow pillar of light soaring into the sky, a slow smile curving his lips.

It became.

The Earth Book is refined, and the original source of the Earth is returned to its rightful place.

Next, it was time to talk about the Goddess Houtu.

He turned his head and looked at Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi stood beside him, his aura weak and his face as pale as paper.

Losing his companion spiritual treasure damaged his cultivation path and caused his cultivation level to plummet.

At this moment, his aura had fallen from the peak of Quasi-Saint to the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint.

But there was not a trace of regret in his eyes.

All we can do is wait and see.

There is only hope.

Only... steadfastness.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi."

Xuan Du slowly spoke:

"The origin of the Earth Book has been revealed, and the Goddess Houtu will guide it to complete the Earthly Passage."

"You shall wait here."

"The day when the Dao is perfected will be the day you attain sainthood."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded emphatically and bowed deeply.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xuandu!"

"This kindness and virtue will be etched in Zhen Yuanzi's heart forever!"

Xuan Du smiled slightly and stepped aside to decline the gesture.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities."

"The best reward will be when you attain sainthood in the future, stand alongside the Goddess Houtu, and be on good terms with our Jie Sect."

Zhen Yuanzi straightened up, looked at Xuan Du, his eyes filled with gratitude.

He suddenly remembered something and said:

"Fellow Daoist Xuandu, True Spirit Hongyun..."

Xuandu waved his hand to interrupt him:

"No rush."

"After you attain sainthood, go to the underworld yourself and tell the Earth Goddess Houtu."

"At that time, Fellow Daoist Hongyun's reincarnation will find the best destiny."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded and said no more.

However, Xuan Du remained completely unperturbed.

Repairing the tunnels is a huge undertaking.

It was so great that it could shake the very foundations of the primordial world, so great that it could alarm the Heavenly Dao, and so great that it could attract the attention of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.

The Way of Earth and the Way of Heaven are two sides of the same coin.

The Way of Heaven governs the birth and death of all things, while the Way of Earth sustains the reproduction of all living beings.

The Heavenly Way was so powerful that it brought billions of dollars, while the Earthly Way remained dormant until Houtu transformed into a being and entered the cycle of reincarnation, at which point it awoke.

If the Earthly Dao is perfected, nine saints will be born, the Heavenly Dao, Earthly Dao, and Human Dao will stand in a tripod, and the primordial order will be reshaped.

At that time, even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun will have to re-examine this world.

How could he sit idly by?

Xuandu raised his eyes and looked up at the heavens.

There, purple mist swirled, and the Purple Cloud Palace hung suspended in the chaos.

Hongjun Daozu should be in seclusion at this moment, deducing and comprehending the Dao.

But will he sense the commotion here?

meeting.

Will.

The Earth Book has returned to its original position, and the Earthly Dao has begun to be completed. Such a momentous event, even if concealed by the Chaos Pearl, may not be able to escape the Dao Ancestor's eyes that see through all laws.

Therefore, from the moment Xuandu arrived at Wuzhuang Temple, he had already activated the Chaos Pearl to conceal the secrets of heaven.

Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun would not have been able to sense the earth-shattering changes taking place here unless he deliberately investigated!

Xuan Du stood under the tree, his gaze slightly narrowed.

Although the Chaos Pearl is powerful, it will eventually be damaged.

He didn't know how long he could keep it a secret.

But he knew he had to keep it a secret until the truth was revealed.

Otherwise, all our efforts will be in vain.

"Fellow Taoist Xuandu?"

Zhen Yuanzi's voice came from behind him, tinged with a hint of doubt.

"This is......?"

He couldn't perceive it.

Under the cover of the Chaos Pearl, Zhen Yuanzi only saw Xuan Du raise his hand, but could not sense why Xuan Du did this.
