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

Xuan Du nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"The ancient chaotic beast, carrying ten thousand mountains on its back, is indeed extraordinary."

"And what's the second method?"

Shen Ni continued.

"Secondly, there is the defense provided by his tortoise shell."

"Cang Xuan's true form is the Chaos Black Tortoise, whose shell is the hardest in the Xuanji Heaven Domain."

"I once saw him fight a chaotic beast from afar. That beast was a peak existence at the ninth level of the Primordial Great Luo Realm, with claws strong enough to tear through the void. Yet, when it grabbed Cangxuan's tortoise shell, it didn't even leave a white mark."

"The beast attacked for a long time but could not defeat Cang Xuan. Finally, it was exhausted and swallowed whole by Cang Xuan."

"When I saw it from afar, the image of the tortoise shell left a very deep impression on me."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du's eyes flickered slightly.

"Can a tortoise shell, so sturdy, withstand an attack from the peak of the Ninth Heaven?"

"It's a good treasure."

"And what's the third method?"

Shen Ni took a deep breath, his voice turning deep.

"Thirdly, there is Cangxuan's 'Mysterious Breath'."

"That is his innate divine power as a chaotic ancient beast, formed by condensing the chaotic and mysterious energy accumulated over hundreds of millions of years. When spewed from his mouth, it can freeze the void, solidify the laws, and seal all things."

"Even with my cultivation at the peak of the Ninth Heaven back then, if I were hit head-on by that Xuanming Breath, I would probably be frozen for a moment."

"That moment of stillness, in a life-or-death struggle, can be fatal."

After listening to Cangxuan's three methods, Xuandu remained silent for a moment.

He then spoke, his voice calm.

"Suppressing the mountains, defending like a tortoise shell, and exhaling the Xuanming breath."

"It has a good balance between offense and defense, and there are no obvious weaknesses."

"What about the Greenwood of the Southern Territory?"

Shen Ni sorted out his thoughts and continued.

"The Azure Tree attained enlightenment through the primordial spiritual root, and its true form is a divine tree that reaches the heavens, named the 'Azure Emperor Tree'."

"Legend has it that the Azure Emperor Tree was the first spiritual root born in the chaos at the beginning of time, and it is three times more ancient than the innate spiritual roots of the primordial world."

"The green tree takes root in the southern region, its branches and leaves covering billions of miles of void, its roots penetrating deep into the bottom of chaos to draw upon the origin of chaos."

"His methods are completely different from Cang Xuan's."

"Firstly, there is his 'Ten Thousand Trees Domain'."

"The roots of the Green Tree spread across hundreds of millions of miles of void in the Southern Territory, with its roots extending into every inch of void."

"In his domain, he is the ruler. Any being that enters the Southern Territory will be suppressed, bound, or even assimilated by his aura."

"If anyone enters the core of the Southern Territory without his permission, he will be entangled by those billions of roots until his essence, energy, and spirit are completely drained."

"Back then, there was a chaotic beast at the eighth level of the Hunyuan Daluo realm that mistakenly entered the depths of the southern region and was drained into a dried corpse in just three days."

"Although I have never been trapped by that Myriad Trees Domain, I have sensed its aura from afar, and it is indeed terrifying."

Xuan Du nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Domain suppression is indeed troublesome."

"And what's the second method?"

The gods defy the Dao.

"Secondly, there is his 'Azure Emperor's Creation'."

"As a Chaos Spiritual Root, Aoki possesses extremely powerful creative energy within its origin."

"He can constantly repair himself in battle. Even if he is seriously injured, as long as his roots are still intact, he can recover very quickly by absorbing the source of chaos."

"Even those whose cultivation is slightly higher than his will be worn down and killed in a prolonged battle with him."

"Because he can't beat you, but he can outlast you."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du smiled.

"He can fight, heal, and even regenerate health. This Aoki is a tough opponent."

"And what's the third method?"

Shen Ni's voice was slightly deep.

Thirdly, there is his "falling leaves rustling".

"That is Qingmu's innate divine power. Using billions of branches and leaves as blades and the origin of chaos as a guide, it transforms into countless wooden swords that cover the sky and seal off all escape routes."

"Once the Falling Leaves Rain begins, it is like a torrential downpour, boundless and endless. Each fallen leaf carries the power of the laws of the Chaos Spiritual Root. Even a cultivator at the ninth level of the Primordial Great Luo Realm would have their cultivation forcibly reduced if trapped by the rain of fallen leaves."

"Because every fallen leaf is devouring the chaotic origin of the one it hits."

"Legend has it that there was once a being who was half-step into the Primordial Chaos Taiji realm, who wanted to seize the southern territory and fought a great battle with Qingmu."

"That battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth collapsed and the void shattered."

"Aoki held out against that being for a long time before finally unleashing 'Falling Leaves' to force him to retreat."

"Although we failed to kill him, we managed to wound him and make him flee, never daring to set foot in the southern territory again."

After listening to Qingmu's three methods, Xuandu remained silent for a moment.

"The Realm of Ten Thousand Trees, the Creation of the Azure Emperor, the Rustling of Falling Leaves."

"This is an opponent who can fight, wear down, and inflict damage; they are indeed not easy to deal with."

"What about the Taixu in the Eastern Territory?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ni's expression turned slightly serious.

Deep within those blood-gold eyes, the light flickered uncertainly, as if even someone of his stature was shrouded in mystery regarding the Great Void.

"Master, I know the least about Taixu."

"He resides in the Eastern Territory, yet no one has ever truly witnessed him in action, and those who have even seen his true face are few and far between."

"Some say that he was transformed from the remnant soul of a chaotic demon god, who took the name 'Tai Xu' and cultivated the Dao of the Void."

"Some say that he is not a native of this celestial realm at all, but rather a wanderer who drifted here from the far reaches of chaos."

"There are many rumors, but none of them are confirmed."

"When I was roaming freely in the Xuanji Heavenly Domain, I once thought of going to the Eastern Territory to explore the true nature of the Great Void."

"But whenever I approach the edge of the Eastern Territory, I sense a very faint force of repulsion."

"The repulsive force wasn't strong, but it carried a kind of fluctuation that made even the disciple's innate malevolent energy feel uneasy."

"After careful consideration, I have decided not to set foot in the Eastern Territory."

"Because I have a feeling that Taixu is probably more troublesome than Cangxuan and Qingmu."

After listening to Shen Ni's description of Tai Xu, Xuan Du fell silent.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the stone platform, a flickering light deep within his calm eyes.

After a moment, he spoke.

"Cangxuan, Qingmu, Taixu."

"These three beings who are half-step into the Primordial Chaos Taiji realm each have their own methods and foundations."

"Cangxuan is good at both offense and defense, Qingmu can withstand both exhaustion and stamina, and Taixu is unfathomable."

"If I can subdue them one by one, it will be enough for me to cross that last line."

He paused, his voice turning somber.

"It seems I made the right choice coming to the Xuanji Heavenly Domain."

Shen Ni was slightly shaken upon hearing this.

He gazed at Xuan Du, at that young yet composed face, at those eyes that were as calm as an ancient well yet concealed a sharp edge.

He couldn't help but ask.

"Master, do you truly intend to... subdue those three beings?"

Xuan Du turned his head and looked at him.

Deep within those calm eyes, however, a faint light was swirling within.

"Why not?"

"When a master accepts a disciple, he never looks at their background."

"Whether it's a chaotic ancient beast, a chaotic spiritual root, or even the Eastern Void, as long as he is willing to become my disciple, I will accept him."

"not to mention……"

He paused, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.

"In this Xuanji Heavenly Domain, only these three are worthy of my attention."
