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

Yang Mei nodded slightly and continued:

"Since you know that, things will be easier."

"The Xuanji Heavenly Domain is one of the few stable places in the chaos."

"There are the dojos left behind by the Chaos Demon God, the innate secret realms, and fragments of laws that only the Primordial Grand Luo can comprehend."

"Your chance to break through lies there."

He paused, his voice turning somber.

"The reason I am leaving this time is to go to the depths of the Xuanji Heavenly Domain to seek the opportunity of becoming a Primordial Taiji Golden Immortal."

"If you wish, you may come with me."

"If you do not wish to go, you may go on your own."

"With your current cultivation level, you are not invincible in the Xuanji Heaven Domain, but you are also fearless."

Xuandu remained silent.

He stood on the edge of chaos, his blue robes fluttering slightly, his black hair flowing over his shoulders.

Deep within those eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well, a flickering light was now playing.

The Mysterious and Silent Heavenly Realm.

The dojo left behind by the Chaos Demon God.

A secret realm born of nature.

Fragments of laws that only a Primordial Grand Luo cultivator can comprehend.

There lies his opportunity for a breakthrough.

That was where he was supposed to go next.

But what about the primordial era?

What about the Jie Sect?

What about the human race?

If he leaves, will the primordial world still be at peace?

If he leaves, can the Jie Sect return to peace?

If he leaves, will the human race still be safe?

Xuandu slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, they were filled with a deep, unfathomable depth.

"Disciple understands."

"I will go to the Xuanji Heavenly Domain."

"But before that, disciple must first settle the affairs of the Primordial World."

"Settle the Jie Sect, settle the human race, and settle the Heavenly Court."

"Once everything is settled, I will take Shenni with me."

Yang Mei looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded.

"good."

The word fell like a morning bell or evening drum.

"This humble Taoist will be waiting for you in the Xuanji Heavenly Realm."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around.

Step out.

The bluish-gray figure slowly disappeared into the surging chaotic energy.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

Only the lingering ripples of space remained, gently undulating amidst the chaos.

Only the words "This humble Taoist awaits you in the Xuanji Heavenly Realm" remained, slowly echoing in Xuandu's ears.

Xuandu stood alone on the edge of chaos, gazing at the vanished figure.

It remained motionless for a long time.

The night wind swept through the void, stirring his robes and his hair.

Those calm eyes were now as deep as an abyss.

"The Realm of Profound Silence".

He spoke in a low voice, which drifted into the chaos.

"The celestial realm where Shen Ni resides."

"The dojo left behind by the Chaos Demon God".

"A secret realm born of nature."

"Fragments of laws that only a Primordial Grand Luo cultivator can comprehend."

"The location is quite good; it's perfect for taking on disciples there so I can break through my current limitations."

He turned around and looked behind him.

That place was the primordial wilderness, the Jie Sect, the human race, and countless living beings.

He has spent hundreds of millions of dollars cultivating himself and protecting everything he has to this day.

"But before that, we need to settle the Primordial Wilderness first."

"Settle the Jie Sect, settle the human race, and settle the Heavenly Court."

"Once everything is settled, we will take Shenni with us."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward.

The void rippled silently.

The figure in green vanished instantly at the edge of chaos.

Towards the primordial wilderness, towards Jin'ao Island, towards the place where billions of living beings reside.

They sped away.

Jin'ao Island.

Purple clouds swirled, and golden light shone like the sea.

Inside Lingyun Cave.

Xuandu sat cross-legged on the cloud bed, his green robes hanging down and his black hair flowing over his shoulders.

He closed his eyes, his mind sinking into the depths of his dantian.

The three bodies each have their own duties.

One body is in Chaoge, one is outside Jin'ao Island, and one is inside the Chaos Pearl.

Business as usual.

A moment later, he spoke. His voice was not loud, but it clearly pierced through the void and fell into the depths of the Chaos Pearl.

"Shennie, come to Lingyun Peak."

The four characters fell like the sound of a morning bell and evening drum.

Within the Chaos Pearl.

Shen Ni was perched atop the giant peak, his body surging with malevolent energy.

Those blood-gold eyes were slightly closed, as if they were cultivating, or as if they were waiting.

Suddenly, he felt a jolt.

Those blood-gold eyes suddenly opened.

He heard it.

That was his master's voice, piercing through the barrier of the Chaos Pearl and falling directly into his ears.

"Shennie, come to Lingyun Peak."

Without hesitation, Shen Ni took a step forward, his dark figure causing the void to ripple silently.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared in Lingyun Cave.

He stood before Xuan Du, his massive body slowly transforming into a human form, clad in black robes, with a cold and stern face and blood-gold eyes.

He bowed slightly.

"Master."

Xuan Du looked at him, his gaze calm.

"Shennie, are you familiar with the Xuanji Heavenly Domain?"

Shen Ni was shocked upon hearing this.

A sudden burst of light shone from the depths of those blood-gold eyes.

He gazed at Xuan Du, at that young yet composed face, and remained silent for a moment.

Then, he nodded slowly.

"Know."

"This disciple comes from the Xuanji Heaven Domain."

He paused, his voice turning somber.

"Why did you suddenly ask about this, Master?"

Xuan Du gazed at him, his calm eyes now revealing a profound depth.

"Fellow Daoist Yang Mei just told me that my opportunity for breakthrough does not lie in the Primordial World."

"In the Xuanji Heavenly Domain."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Ni shuddered.

The light in those blood-gold eyes flickered uncertainly.

He gazed at Xuan Du, at that young yet composed face, for a long time.

"So Master is going... to the Xuanji Heavenly Domain?"

Xuan Du nodded.

"go."

"But before that, we need to settle the Primordial Wilderness first."

"Once everything is settled, we'll go together."

The gods remained silent.

He stood in the cave, his blood-gold eyes flashing with an uncertain light.

The Xuanji Heavenly Domain was where he cultivated for billions of yuan.

That was where he rose to power, and that was also where he fled.

Back then, in order to break through to the Hunyuan Taiji Grand Golden Immortal realm, he devoured too many chaotic beings and provoked too many powerful enemies.

Left with no other choice, I fled to the edge of the primordial wilderness.

But now, he's going back.

It wasn't just one person.

They were accompanied by their master and that meticulous, strategic man in blue.

"Disciple understands."

Shen Ni spoke, his voice low and deep.

"This disciple wishes to accompany Master to the Xuanji Heavenly Domain."

"However, this disciple has something to say that must be told to Master first."

Xuan Du looked at him, his gaze calm.

"speak."

Shen Ni took a deep breath and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"In the Xuanji Heavenly Domain, there are three half-step Hunyuan Taiji beings, and even one Hunyuan Taiji being, but he hasn't appeared for tens of thousands of years."

"If Master goes, we must make full preparations."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du raised an eyebrow slightly.

A faint hint of solemnity flickered deep within those eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well.

Hunyuan Taiji Luo Jinxian.

That was the realm before the great god Pangu created the world.

That was the height at which the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods reached their peak.

That was the supreme being he could only look up to until now.

"Three half-step Hunyuan Taiji masters, and one Hunyuan Taiji master?"

Xuan Du spoke in a calm voice, but beneath that calmness lay a sense of caution.

Are you sure?

Shen Ni nodded.

"This disciple is certain."

"I have cultivated for billions of yuan in the Xuanji Heaven Domain, devoured countless chaotic beings, and offended countless powerful figures."

"I have sensed the aura of those three half-step Hunyuan Taiji beings from afar."

"The first one is an ancient chaotic beast that attained enlightenment. It is named 'Cangxuan' and resides in the northern border of the Xuanji Heaven Domain. It feeds on chaotic energy and uses fragments of the void as its nest."

"The second one is a manifestation of a chaotic spiritual root, named 'Green Wood,' which is rooted in the southern part of the Heavenly Domain, evergreen for eternity, with its branches and leaves covering billions of miles of void."

"The third one lives in seclusion in the eastern part of the Heavenly Domain and has never shown his face. It is only rumored that he uses the name 'Tai Xu' and that his cultivation is unfathomable."

Shen Ni paused, his voice turning deep.

"As for the existence of that Hunyuan Taiji..."

He remained silent for a moment, a rare hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

"This disciple has never seen it with his own eyes."

"All we know is that he called himself 'Xuanji' and was the first master of this Heavenly Domain. Even the three half-step Hunyuan Taiji beings don't know whether he is still in the Heavenly Domain."

"There are rumors that he has transcended this realm and gone to the more distant depths of chaos."

"There are also rumors that he is asleep in a secret realm at the core of the Heavenly Domain, and has not awakened for tens of thousands of years."

"Regardless of the rumors, the name 'Xuanji' is the name of the entire Heavenly Domain."
