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

Xuan Du focused his mind on the system interface, and the constantly fluctuating numbers finally stopped.

[Real-time cultivation progress feedback (extractable): Peak of Great Luo Golden Immortal]

Peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Xuan Du's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.

His original estimate, at most, was only the mid-to-late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After all, the great calamity of the Lich King has not yet ended, and although the Jie Sect has begun to take shape, it is far from reaching its peak during the Investiture of the Gods period.

People like Daoist Duobao and Holy Mother Jinling, who are direct disciples, are probably only hovering around the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm at this moment.

Zhao Gongming, the Three Immortals, and others may have only recently broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Even though the number of disciples of the Jie Sect is already quite large, the difficulty of breaking through each minor realm has increased exponentially.

The difference in strength between the early and middle stages, and between the middle and late stages, is like heaven and earth.

He had anticipated that the sum would be enormous, but he never imagined that he would directly reach the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

Just one step away from glimpsing the elusive Primordial Dao Fruit!

This is simply an incredible stroke of luck that fell from the sky!

"system."

Xuan Du suppressed the roar that was about to burst from his mouth and urgently asked in his mind,

"When extracting cultivation power, is it possible to conceal one's true cultivation level?"

He stared intently at the system interface; this was the most crucial step.

If it cannot be hidden, extracting it now would be suicidal.

[Ding! The host can freely set the cultivation level revealed to the outside world. The system will perfectly simulate the aura of that level, which cannot be detected by those below the Saint level.]

The cold, mechanical notification sounded like heavenly music to Xuan Du's ears!

Can it be hidden?

Is it something that even a sage cannot fathom?

The last huge weight in Xuan Du's heart was lifted, and an indescribable excitement and exhilaration swept over his entire body.

If you can hide your cultivation level, what are you afraid of!

It's safe! It's completely safe!

On this Golden Turtle Island, as long as the Tongtian Sect Leader doesn't deliberately probe his background inch by inch, who can see through his true nature?

Would a sage master be so bored as to investigate him?

If we don't collect it now, when will we?

"System, extract cultivation points!"

Xuan Du hesitated no longer and silently recited the mantra.

The instant the command is issued.

boom!!!

An indescribable, immense power surged forth from the depths of the endless void, forcefully penetrating his limbs, bones, and meridians!

This power is as vast as the starry sea, as pure as the primordial essence, carrying the ancient Daoist charm of the beginning of heaven and earth.

It was no longer a sparse spiritual energy, but an innate magical power condensed to its extreme!

Xuan Du felt as if his entire body was about to be burst apart by this sudden torrent.

The meridians were expanded to an unimaginable extent in an instant, the bones made a crackling sound, and shimmered with a jade-like luster.

The internal organs were repeatedly cleansed and tempered by the pure magical power, revealing a vibrant vitality.

The soul, as if bathing in a hot spring, grew and solidified at an unprecedented speed.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, which was originally a chaotic mess, it was as if stars were illuminating it, and enlightenment naturally emerged.

The perception of the rules of heaven and earth became clearer than ever before.

It was as if he could unleash tremendous power with a mere thought, if he so desired.

Peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Genuine product at a fair price!

From the outside, he still appeared to be the same young man in blue robes, sitting cross-legged on the simple stone bed.

The aura emanating from his body was faint and ordinary, exactly the same as before, and he hadn't even completed the process of drawing qi into his body.

The spiritual energy inside the cave was still thin, and dust slowly drifted down.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Only Xuandu himself knew what kind of world-destroying power was hidden beneath this seemingly ordinary body!

He slowly opened his eyes.

In the depths of her eyes, a fleeting vision of starry sky and the rotation of the universe seemed to appear and disappear, then quickly vanish, returning to its original clarity.

He clenched his fist slightly.

Feeling the vast and unstoppable magical power flowing within his body, a sense of pride and confidence arose within him.

From then on, the sea was wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky high enough for birds to fly!

In this primordial continent, Xuandu finally has a foothold!

With a slight thought, he set his revealed cultivation level to the Celestial Immortal realm.

After all, it's reasonable for someone who's chosen by Lao Tzu to have a bit more talent, right?

After doing all this, Xuandu let out a long breath.

The breath was long and deep, faintly carrying the sound of wind and thunder, causing the dust in front of the stone bed to swirl and dance.

He stood up and stretched his limbs.

The surging power within him made him somewhat intoxicated.

But he quickly calmed down.

He has acquired cultivation, but how to use it, how to fight, and how to truly unleash the power of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal still require learning and honing.

Right now, I simply have the realm but no corresponding supernatural power.

Moreover, the Jie Sect is full of powerful figures.

Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, Guiling...

Which of these personally instructed disciples wasn't a seasoned veteran with extraordinary abilities?

Zhao Gongming's Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and the Three Immortal Maidens' Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation are even more famous throughout the prehistoric world.

His sudden acquisition of cultivation level might not be of much use to them, given their extensive experience.

One must quickly familiarize oneself with the power and find suitable techniques and supernatural abilities.

Thinking of the disdainful look on Chang Er Ding Guangxian's face, Xuan Du's lips curled into a cold smile.

well.

He wanted to see what kind of interesting expression this guy would have when he saw his cultivation level.

And then there was the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods...

Xuandu cast his gaze outside the cave, as if piercing through the stone wall and seeing the great calamity that would sweep across the world in the future.

Originally, he only wanted to take advantage of the number of disciples of the Jie Sect, use the system to become stronger, and avoid the calamity.

But now, having attained the peak cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, his mindset has subtly changed.

Is simply avoiding it enough?

On the Investiture of the Gods, how many immortal spirits of the Jie Sect were annihilated or controlled by the Heavenly Court?

Those traitors like Chang Er Ding Guangxian deserve to die!

Now that we possess power, is it possible... to do more?

Is it possible to try and reverse that seemingly inevitable outcome?

For this sect that seizes a sliver of hope, can it truly seize a sliver of hope?

Once the thought arose, it grew wildly in his heart like weeds.

The risks are enormous, but the rewards... are equally immeasurable!

After all, his cultivation level was based on the real-time total of the disciples of the Jie Sect.

If too many disciples of the Jie Sect are killed or injured, one's own cultivation level may even decline.

Conversely, the more beings who join the Jie Sect, the higher one's cultivation level becomes.

Before being conferred the title of a god, I was fully capable of reaching the realm of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

This was also the path Xuandu had planned: to follow the path of Hunyuan, not the path of Quasi-Saint.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his turbulent emotions.

One must take things one step at a time.

The most urgent task is to consolidate one's cultivation, familiarize oneself with one's power, and find a way to acquire supernatural abilities.

He pushed open the stone door and walked out of the cave.

Outside, the sun shines brightly, and Jin'ao Island is filled with spiritual energy, far surpassing this desolate mountain on the edge.

He could clearly sense that there were quite a few powerful auras in the core area of ​​the island.

Some of them were obscure and profound, carrying a sharp sword intent, and should belong to Duobao, Jinling and others.

There is another one, bold and unrestrained, with the imposing force of wind and thunder, which must be Zhao Gongming.

Further away, three ethereal auras intertwined and swirled, belonging to the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao.

"Is this the perception of a Great Luo Golden Immortal...?"

Xuandu sighed inwardly.

Previously, he had no cultivation level and only felt that those auras were powerful and terrifying.

Now, however, one can roughly discern their strengths and weaknesses, and even vaguely sense some of the patterns of the path the other party cultivates.

This sense of control is wonderful.

However, Xuandu then prepared to go find Zhao Gongming.

After all, since he had joined the Jie Sect, the Tongtian Sect Leader had arranged for Chang'er Dingguang Xian to settle him down.

It was clearly also to have Chang Er Ding Guang Xian teach him the Jie Sect's techniques.

Clearly, the Long-Eared Immortal looked down on him, so he didn't even teach him any cultivation techniques.

Having made up his mind, Xuandu did not delay any longer.

He stepped out of the simple cave dwelling and cast his gaze into the depths of Jin'ao Island.

Based on the perfunctory guidance from Chang'er Dingguangxian and his own powerful divine sense, he quickly pinpointed the approximate location of Zhao Gongming's cave.

It was a mountain range with an even richer spiritual energy, shrouded in rosy light, and ever-changing in its appearance.

It was worlds apart from his remote and desolate place.

"Indeed, no matter where you are, strength and status determine everything."

Xuan Du remained unmoved; instead, his resolve to become stronger only strengthened.

He tried to mobilize the vast, ocean-like magical power within his body.

With a slight thought, he considered the location of Zhao Gongming's cave.

Then, he simply took a step forward, seemingly casually.

hum!

The surrounding space seemed to ripple gently like water.

The next moment, the scenery before my eyes was completely different.

The barren mountains and dilapidated houses have disappeared.

In its place stands a magnificent fairy mountain.

The mountains are shrouded in mist and clouds, cranes soar and gather, and waterfalls cascade down like a silver river, roaring and thundering.

The rich innate spiritual energy almost turned into liquid, and one felt refreshed with every breath.

And he was standing at the foot of this sacred mountain, in front of a cave dwelling.

It was Zhao Gongming's cave!

Xuan Du stood there, deeply shocked.

This step was not achieved through any supernatural powers or techniques, but simply through his mental focus guiding the magical power within his body, resulting in a natural effect.

It spanned more than ten thousand miles!

"Is this the power of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal...?"

"No need to deliberately use escape techniques; wherever the mind goes, the body follows?"

He savored the mysterious feeling he had just experienced.

In his perception, space seemed to become flexible, able to be folded and traversed at will.

Is this the world as seen through the eyes of a high-level cultivator?

It was truly miraculous!

It is indeed a pity that someone possesses such great power but lacks corresponding supernatural abilities.

This further strengthened his determination to obtain the cultivation method.

Just as Xuandu was immersed in the realization of using power for the first time.

A streak of light gracefully descended from the sky and landed not far away.

The celestial light dissipated, revealing a woman dressed in a jade-green fairy dress.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a lively and playful look in her eyes, and a cool and pure aura about her.

She is Bixiao, one of the Three Immortal Maidens.

Bixiao was about to return to her own cave dwelling when she caught sight of Xuandu standing in front of Zhao Gongming's cave dwelling and was slightly taken aback.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"what?"

"Aren't you... that new junior brother Xuandu?"

She remembers it clearly.

This person was just taken in as a disciple by his master in Biyou Palace and handed over to Chang Er Dingguang Xian for safekeeping.

Logically, one should be in the outer disciples' settlement on the outskirts, familiarizing themselves with the environment, or trying to draw qi into their body.

How did I end up in this core area, in front of my brother's Luofu Cave?

Judging from his aura... he seems to have already stepped into the path of immortality?

Celestial Realm?

Bixiao's beautiful eyes showed even greater surprise.

This speed is a bit too fast.

Although being chosen by Master Taiqing must mean he has extraordinary talent.

However, it is still somewhat astonishing that someone who has just entered the path of cultivation could ascend from the mortal realm to the celestial realm in such a short time.

Could it be that he had accumulated profound knowledge beforehand and suddenly attained enlightenment?
