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

Xuandu looked at Cangxuan, his voice calm.

"With this pearl, I can lead you into the depths of chaos."

"I can lead you to that spiritual vein, and I can help you comprehend the fragments of laws deep within that secret realm."

"It will enable you to truly take that step."

"Instead of staying on this floating land, staring blankly at those mountains."

The sound faded, and the void fell into a deathly silence.

Cang Xuan gazed at the Chaos Pearl, at the ever-flowing Chaos Restriction, and at the ancient origin that had settled within the pearl.

He had been searching for something for a billion-dollar company.

Something that can help him break through.

But the spiritual vein was sealed, so he couldn't enter the core of the secret realm.

He tried countless times, but all ended in failure.

But at this moment, someone stood in front of him, holding the Chaos Pearl.

Cang Xuan remained silent for a long time.

For a long time, the innate Dao patterns flowed through a full cycle on the surface of the black mountains above the floating land.

So long that the light in those dark blue eyes flickered countless times.

Then he spoke, his voice low and deep.

"You just said that as long as I become your disciple..."

"Then you will help me break through."

"Are these your terms?"

Xuandu looked at him.

"This is a deal."

"You become my disciple, and I'll pave the way."

"After you break through, you will still guard your northern border."

"It's just that I have the additional identity of a master."

That's all.

Cang Xuan looked at him and remained silent.

Despite his immense wealth, he never bowed his head to anyone.

But at this moment, the figure in green stood there, holding the Chaos Pearl, with the enemy he had wanted to tear to pieces behind him.

Everything seemed to have been arranged.

He remained silent for a long time, so long that the determination of the billion-dollar company finally wavered in the depths of his dark blue eyes.

"it is good."

The moment a single word was uttered, it was as if the weight of a multi-million dollar event had completely collapsed.

"I want to become your disciple."

Xuan Du looked at him, but didn't rush to speak.

He waited for Cang Xuan to finish speaking, and for the massive body to slowly lower itself.

The innate Dao patterns on the tortoise shell gradually faded, and the several black mountains also fell silent.

Cang Xuan lowered his head, his dark blue eyes fixed on the ground, no longer meeting anyone's gaze.

"But I have something to say..."

"If you're lying to me, if that spiritual vein can't help me break through, if you're just using the Chaos Pearl to lure me into a trap..."

He looked up, and in his eyes, there was a final glint of ferocity.

"I will do anything to make you die in the North."

Xuan Du looked at him, a slow smile creeping onto his lips.

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

"Don't worry."

"I never lie."

"I said I would help you break through, and I will definitely do it."

"If you can't do it, then come and kill me."

"I will never fight back."

As the words fell, a faint light flickered deep within Cang Xuan's dark blue eyes.

He gazed at Xuandu, at that calm and resolute face.

In the billion-dollar gathering, he met countless cultivators and uttered countless boasts.

But no one ever adds "I will never fight back" after making such a boast.

Cang Xuan's massive body slowly lowered, and his dark blue eyes finally drooped completely.

He spoke, his voice low, yet carrying a sense of relief he had never felt before with hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Disciple Cangxuan greets Master."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a boulder sinking into an abyss, stirring up a surging, chaotic energy that seemed to rise endlessly.

The entire void of the Northern Territory seemed to tremble slightly at that moment.

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

He didn't rush to speak, but just stood there, watching Cang Xuan lower his head and look at the chaotic ancient beast that occupied the Billion Yuan Society in the Northern Territory. Finally, he gave up the Billion Yuan Society's insistence.

Get up.

The three words fell like a spring breeze.

Cang Xuan slowly raised his head, and the light in the depths of his dark blue eyes flickered uncertainly.

Despite his immense wealth, he never bowed his head to anyone.

But today, he bowed his head.

It wasn't forced; it was voluntary.

Because he saw that road.

They saw the chaotic-colored bead in the hand of the figure in green, and the forty-nine constantly flowing chaotic restrictions.

That was a path that could truly allow him to break through.

Xuan Du looked at him, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke in a calm voice.

"Enter the Chaos Pearl."

As the three words fell, Cang Xuan's dark blue eyes flickered slightly.

"The Chaos Pearl?"

"Disciple enters the Chaos Pearl?"

Xuan Du nodded.

"There is an independent world inside the pearl, where the chaotic energy is several times denser than in this void."

"Your practice of bead cultivation will solidify your foundation and accumulate profound knowledge."

"You shall come out when I go to the location of that chaotic spiritual vein."

"That will be your chance to break through."

Upon hearing this, Cang Xuan remained silent for a moment.

Deep within those dark blue eyes, a flickering light shone, clearly indicating that he was weighing his options.

After a moment, he spoke, his voice low and tinged with a rare hesitation.

"Master, I have something to say that I must inform you first."

Xuandu looked at him.

"speak."

Cang Xuan took a deep breath, his massive body leaning slightly forward.

"This disciple is stationed to guard the northern border on the orders personally given by Senior Xuanji."

"When I first entered the Xuanji Heavenly Domain, I was only at the seventh level of the Hunyuan Daluo Heaven. I was taken in by Senior Xuanji, who granted me the Northern Territory as his territory and ordered me to guard this place."

"The disciples never left the place where the billion-dollar gathering was held."

"Even after Senior Xuanji disappeared, this disciple dared not leave without permission."

"Because I know that if the Northern Territory is lost, I cannot bear the blame from Senior Xuanji."

He paused, then lowered his voice.

"Now, Master has instructed me to enter the Chaos Pearl and leave the Northern Territory."

"If Senior Xuanji returns and finds his disciple not in the Northern Territory, he will likely be furious."

"Disciple...disciple is afraid of implicating Master."

After the sound subsided, silence fell over the floating land.

The surging chaotic energy seemed to freeze at that moment.

Shen Ni stood behind Xuan Du, his blood-gold eyes flashing slightly.

He didn't speak, but just looked at Xuan Du.

Xuandu fell silent.

He looked at Cang Xuan, at that large yet earnest face.

Good guy.

There's even something about Xuanji involved here.

He originally thought that Cangxuan guarding the northern border was just a rule of this celestial realm.

Unexpectedly, it was Xuanji who gave the order.

The reason why Cang Xuan dared not leave the Northern Territory even a step was not just because he was protective of his own, nor was it just because of habit.

More importantly, because it was an order.

A command from the existence of Hunyuan Taiji.

An order that even a multi-million dollar company wouldn't dare disobey.

Xuan Du raised an eyebrow slightly.

But he already knew that Xuanji had perished.

Now, what sits at the core of the Xuanji Secret Realm is nothing more than a remnant soul, guarding that chaotic spiritual vein and that obsession with the billion-dollar Yuan Club.

He had even seen that remnant soul.

Even the lingering resentment of that enemy has been severed with the Chaos Pearl.

Even the cause and effect of that spiritual vein node have been cleared up.

Xuandu remained silent for a moment.

Then he spoke, his voice calm, yet carrying an undeniable certainty.

"It's alright."

"You can enter the Chaos Pearl."

"Xuanji won't cause you any trouble."

Cang Xuan's dark blue eyes suddenly froze.

He gazed at Xuan Du, at that young yet composed face, at those eyes as calm as an ancient well.

He had never heard anyone mention Xuanji in such a tone before.
