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

Half-step Hunyuan Taiji initial stage.

Mid-stage of Half-Step Hunyuan Taiji.

Half-step Hunyuan Taiji late stage.

That aura surged forward with unstoppable momentum.

Shen Ni stood atop the stone pillar, his blood-gold eyes suddenly snapping open.

He sensed it.

The aura within the cave was rising at a speed he had never seen before.

The aura grew deeper, heavier, and more profound, carrying a sense of oppression that made him tremble.

Shen Ni stood rooted to the spot, his black robes billowing, his blood-gold eyes fixed on the tightly closed stone door, his gaze filled with shock, anticipation, and a hint of unbelievable joy.

"Half-step Hunyuan Tai Chi..."

"Master really made it through."

Inside the cave.

The grayish-white light finally faded away.

Xuan Du's aura reached its peak.

Half-step to the peak of Hunyuan Taiji.

We are just one step away from achieving the ultimate Tai Chi.

He slowly opened his eyes.

A fleeting, dark golden light flashed in the depths of those calm eyes.

He looked down at his hands.

A brand new power was flowing in his palm.

That power was more than ten times stronger than before, carrying a profound and weighty quality that even a Primordial Grandmaster could not match.

He slowly clenched his fist, sensing the change.

After a moment, he frowned slightly.

His cultivation level has broken through.

However, the outcome was far from as satisfactory as he had anticipated.

He remains a top-tier Chaos Demon God.

This is the feedback from the Blood Abyss's lingering resentment.

At its peak, Blood Abyss was a late-stage Hunyuan Taiji being, and its origins were naturally among the top of the Chaos Demon Gods.

But that was just the beginning of his prime.

He now only has a wisp of remnant spirit left, and the script source has long been worn away by the spiritual vein nodes, amounting to hundreds of millions of yuan.

All that can be fed back is a lingering trace of the original melody.

It was already the limit to push his foundation from the initial stage of the Chaos Demon God to the top.

It's just a hair's breadth away from perfection.

Xuan Du regained his composure and slowly opened his eyes.

He sensed his own footing, sensed the subtle gap between himself and perfection, and was not disappointed.

"That's not bad, at least it's much better than before."

He murmured to himself, his voice calm as still water.

"Although we are only a hair's breadth away from perfection, that hair's breadth is already visible."

"We only need to take on one more disciple with a sufficiently strong foundation, and we can overcome this hurdle."

He sensed the surging power within his body, and the cultivation level of a half-step Hunyuan Taiji peak, and a smile slowly crept onto his lips.

The smile was faint, yet it carried a profound understanding that saw through everything.

"The feedback from Blood Abyss has certainly not disappointed me."

"Half-step to the peak of Hunyuan Taiji, only one step away from Hunyuan Taiji."

"This line is actually shorter than the distance from the peak of the Ninth Heaven to the half-step Primordial Taiji."

"It's just harder to get over it now."

He stood up and stood with his hands behind his back on the stone platform.

Her green robe fluttered slightly, and her black hair cascaded over her shoulders.

He raised his eyes and looked towards the stone gate of the cave.

Sensing that the figure in black robes was still guarding the top of the stone pillar, the blood-gold fierce aura surging like a tide, never leaving his side.

"God's Rebellion".

The two words fell, piercing through the stone gate and the three layers of restrictions, and landed directly in Shen Ni's ears.

Shen Ni shuddered, and his previously closed blood-gold eyes suddenly snapped open.

He turned around, and the stone door slowly opened in front of him.

He saw the figure in green standing on the stone platform, hands behind his back, with a young face and deep eyes.

Although his aura was restrained, there was a sense of oppression beneath that restraint that made even him feel a chill.

The sense of oppression was stronger, deeper, and more unpredictable than before.

Shen Ni stepped into the cave, his blood-gold eyes flashing with an uncertain light.

"Master...you've broken through?"

Xuan Du looked at him and nodded slightly.

"Breakthrough! Half-step to the peak of Hunyuan Taiji, only one step away from Hunyuan Taiji."

Shen Ni was shocked upon hearing this, realizing he was at the peak of the Half-Step Primordial Tai Chi.

He had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years and met countless powerful figures, but he had never seen anyone cross that threshold so quickly.

"Disciple congratulates Master!"

Shen Ni bowed slightly, his voice filled with genuine reverence.

Xuan Du gently shook his head, looking at him.

"It's too early to congratulate you."

"The peak of the half-step Hunyuan Taiji is just the beginning."

"True Hunyuan Tai Chi is my goal."

Because the foundation is not yet fully formed.

The top-tier Chaos Gods may seem to be only a hair's breadth away from the next stage, but in reality, they are separated by an insurmountable chasm.

That line requires a sufficiently deep foundation to fill.

To further improve, one needs to take on another disciple with a sufficiently deep foundation.

Xuan Du's eyes flickered slightly, and he had already made up his mind.

Within the Xuanji Heavenly Domain, there are also three beings who are half-step into the Primordial Chaos Taiji realm.

Cangxuan, Qingmu, Taixu.

These three beings are all ancient powerhouses who survived the era of the Chaos Demon Gods. Their origins are far more profound than those of ordinary cultivators.

If I could take them as my disciples, the feedback from their foundation would surely allow me to break through that last shackle and truly step into the realm of Hunyuan Taiji.

Xuan Du pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"God's Rebellion".

As the two words fell, Shen Ni paused slightly, his blood-gold eyes flashing.

"Disciple is here."

Xuan Du looked at him, his gaze calm.

"Do you know what methods those three beings, who are at the half-step Hunyuan Taiji level, each possess?"

Shen Ni was taken aback upon hearing this.

He never expected that his master would bring up the topic of those three half-step Hunyuan Taiji beings.

He had thought that after his master broke through, he would first stabilize his realm or try to refine the fragments of laws in the Xuanji Secret Realm.

Unexpectedly, the master directly asked about Cangxuan, Qingmu, and Taixu.

Shen Ni's mind raced with thoughts.

Perhaps, Master wants to have a friendly spar?

After all, Master is now at the peak of the half-step Hunyuan Taiji, only one step away from Hunyuan Taiji. In this Xuanji Heavenly Domain, only those three beings can rival Master.

Shen Ni composed himself and recounted everything he knew.

"Master, although I have never fought those three half-step Hunyuan Taiji beings directly, I have sensed their auras from afar and heard some rumors about them."

"Let's start with Cangxuan in the North."

"Cangxuan was an ancient chaotic beast that attained enlightenment. Its true form is a chaotic Xuan Turtle shaped like a giant tortoise, supporting ten thousand mountains on its back."

"He resides in the northern border of the Xuanji Heaven Domain, feeding on chaotic energy and nesting in fragments of the void. The Billion Yuan Society has never left the northern border even half a step."

"His methods mainly consist of three parts."

"Firstly, there are the mountains on his back."

"Legend has it that the Wanshan Mountains are no ordinary mountains. They are the Chaos Divine Mountains formed from the remains of three thousand Chaos Demons after their fall at the beginning of the primordial chaos."

"Every mountain contains the remnants of the laws of a chaotic demon god."

"Cang Xuan refined these divine mountains and carried them on his back. In battle, he could unleash the power of the mountains to suppress his opponents."

"When all those mountains rose up at once, even at the height of my power, I dared not confront their sharpness head-on."

As Shen Ni spoke, a hint of solemnity flashed deep within his blood-gold eyes.

Clearly, he still vividly remembered the power of those ten thousand mountains.
