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

"Anything else?"

Blood Abyss continued:

"South of the Xuanji Heavenly Domain, beyond a chaotic undercurrent, lies a place called the 'Primordial Spirit Vein'."

"That is one of the regions with the most concentrated primordial chaos, born at the beginning of chaos, where innate spiritual creatures are born alongside the surrounding spiritual veins."

"If one can occupy that place to cultivate, the progress will be more than ten times that of ordinary heavenly realms."

"But that primordial spiritual vein has always been controlled by the other giants in the chaos."

"Among them is a Primordial Taiji being named 'Zhulong,' who resides in the core of the Primordial Spirit Vein and has never left for billions of years."

"His cultivation level is unfathomable; it is rumored that he has already reached the late stage of Hunyuan Taiji."

When Xue Yuan mentioned the name "Zhulong," a hint of fear flashed deep in his blurry eyes.

Xuan Du sensed that hint of apprehension, and his gaze narrowed slightly.

"Zhulong?"

Blood Abyss nodded:

"It is one of the most ancient Chaos Gods from the depths of chaos, feeding on chaotic energy, and its body can transform into a rainbow spanning ten thousand miles. It is bloodthirsty by nature."

"When I was at the height of my power, I sensed his aura from afar. It was so powerful that even I dared not make any rash moves."

"If Master wants to go to the Primordial Spirit Vein, he will probably have to get past Zhulong first."

Xuan Du remained silent and slowly nodded.

Blood Abyss said again:

"Besides the Ruins of Return and the Primordial Spirit Vein, there is another secret realm to the west of the Profound Silence Heaven Domain, called the 'Chaos Graveyard'."

"That is the burial place of countless chaotic demons who fell."

"The place is the most dangerous place, where corpses and resentment intertwine, and fragments of laws and death energy entangle."

"If one can find a complete wisp of the Chaos God's origin and refine it, that would be the ticket to directly access the Primordial Taiji."

"But deep within that chaotic graveyard, it is rumored that three beings at the Hunyuan Taiji level are slumbering."

"They have been dormant for billions of years, using the death energy in the graveyard to maintain their decaying bodies. If they are awakened, it will be a catastrophe."

Xue Yuan paused here, then looked at Xuan Du:

"Master is currently at the peak of the half-step Hunyuan Taiji, only one step away from the Hunyuan Taiji."

"If you are going to seek opportunities in these places, I suggest you start with the safest option."

"Although the Guixu Heavenly Domain is dangerous, there are fragments of laws to be found, and no living enemies reside there."

"With Master's Chaos Pearl and his peak half-step Primordial Taiji cultivation, as long as he doesn't penetrate deep into the core, he should be able to retreat unscathed."

Xuan Du fell silent after hearing Xue Yuan's words.

He stood there, hands behind his back, gazing at the surging chaos in the distance.

Guixu Heavenly Domain, Primordial Spirit Vein, Chaos Graveyard.

Each of these three places contains an opportunity that could allow one to break through the Hunyuan Taiji.

Everywhere also hides dangers that could lead to one's demise.

Now he's only a hair's breadth away from being on the right foot.

If one can find a disciple with a sufficiently deep foundation, breaking through to the Hunyuan Taiji will be a natural outcome.

However, if one cannot find such a disciple, one must rely on one's own cultivation to break through.

While it's difficult to force it through, it's not impossible.

Xuan Du nodded slowly, his voice calm:

"you're right."

"The Guixu Heavenly Domain is indeed the safest choice."

"There are no living enemies entrenched, only fragments of laws and mists of resentment."

"With the Chaos Pearl protecting him, even a half-step peak of Hunyuan Taiji can retreat unscathed."

He paused, his gaze falling on Xue Yuan:

"Do you know the way to Guixu?"

Blood Abyss nodded:

"When I was at the height of my power, I once went to explore the outer perimeter of Guixu."

"Although I didn't delve into the core, I still remember the path."

"If Master is going, this disciple can lead the way."

Xuan Du nodded slightly:

"it is good."

"Once I have completely settled matters here, I will set off for Guixu."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yuan said nothing more.

He simply stood on the floating land, his grey-white robe cascading down like mist, his blurry eyes gazing into the distance.

The figure in blue stood at the edge of the floating land.

The chaotic energy of the southern realm flowed slowly around him, and the lush green vegetation drooped its branches, as if waiting for something.

Xuan Du withdrew his gaze from the distance, his expression calm:

"You should recuperate within the Chaos Pearl."

"Once Taixu returns, we will set off for Guixu."

Xue Yuan nodded, his figure slowly transforming into a gray-white light and disappearing into the Chaos Pearl.

Silence returned to the floating land.

Xuandu stood still, his hands behind his back, gazing at the surging chaotic energy in the distance.

Guixu, Taichu Lingmai, Chaos Graveyard.

He remembered those three names.

Then he looked up into the distance. In the vast void in the northern border, the floating continent that Cangxuan had occupied for hundreds of millions of years was now deserted.

That floating continent stretched for countless miles, its terrain majestic, and its chaotic energy as dense as the sea.

It is more than ten times stronger than the stone pillar cave of Shenni.

Xuandu withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly.

That place is really nice.

The Daoist temple of the Half-Step Primordial Tai Chi has a chaotic energy several times denser than that of the central area, a stable terrain, and a self-contained system for the circulation of spiritual energy.

Whether used for secluded cultivation or to house the disciples to be subdued later, it is far superior to Shen Ni's small cave dwelling.

He turned his head and looked at the figure in black robes beside him.

Shen Ni stood behind him, his blood-gold eyes slightly lowered, his posture respectful.

Xuan Du spoke, his voice calm:

"Shennie, I have something to entrust to you."

Shen Ni raised his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his blood-gold pupils.

"Please speak, Master."

Xuan Du looked at him and said, slowly and deliberately:

"You shall remain in the Xuanji Heavenly Domain, establish a branch of the Jie Sect in the Northern Territory, and recruit many disciples."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Ni was stunned.

A rare look of astonishment appeared on that cold and stern face.

He thought he had misheard.

Establish a system of separate sects within the sect?

To take on many disciples?

Master has already subdued Cangxuan and Qingmu, two beings at the half-step Hunyuan Taiji level, yet he is still not satisfied.

Should we continue to take on apprentices?

Shen Ni opened his mouth, his voice carrying an undisguised look of surprise and doubt:

"Master...you still want to take on disciples?"

Xuan Du looked at him, his gaze calm as still water.

"What? It won't work?"

Shen Ni remained silent for a moment, his blood-gold eyes flashing with an uncertain light.

He cultivated the Hundred Million Yuan Sect and met countless cultivators.

Some rely on arduous practice, some on chance, and some on plunder.

But no one has ever treated accepting disciples as a path to heaven like Master.

He recruited Cangxuan, Qingmu, Xueyuan, and Shenni.

Now, we also want to establish a branch sect in the Xuanji Heavenly Domain and open our doors to the public.
