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

The sky above the Dao Realm was silently turning, a luster that defied description.

It was neither sunlight nor starlight, but the light emanating from the very will of martial arts.

Beneath the mountain peak at the very center of the world, a sparse patch of grass has already sprouted.

Emerald green grass sprouts peek out from the soil, their leaves adorned with faint martial arts patterns, as if each blade of grass carried a trace of newly born spirit.

Xuandu sat atop the peak, gazing down at the newly growing greenery, his eyes filled with a serene composure born of contemplation.

He sensed that the grass sprouts were spreading outwards in an extremely slow manner, like an arm that was awakening and gradually unfolding.

That is the root that the Azure Emperor's wood essence took root in the Dao Realm.

The laws of life are at work, and plants and other living things are multiplying.

Although it is only a small meadow, no more than a hundred feet in diameter, it is growing.

The Green Emperor sat facing due south, his emerald green robe billowing slightly in the breeze.

He also looked down at the spreading grassland, a faint life force flowing between his withered fingers, silently guiding the grass sprouts to stretch further into the distance.

"It's a bit faster than expected."

The Azure Emperor spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching Xuan Du's ears.

"The vitality of this place is more vigorous than I expected; those martial arts wills seem to be driving the growth of plants."

"My woody essence flows through it with exceptional smoothness, as if this very world itself yearns to grow."

Xuan Du nodded slightly:

"The will to fight is rooted in the spirit of battle and has the backbone of perseverance. It is most averse to stagnation and yearns for vitality and growth."

"Our paths converge here, and this land naturally grows faster than anywhere else."

The Azure Emperor did not speak again, but instead poured more life force into the spreading grassland.

A moment later, a very faint hum came from the due east direction.

Dust Star sat due east, with starlight swirling silently around him.

A faint light was slowly gathering in the sky above that area, like a newly born star trying to light itself up.

"The laws of the stars in the Dao realm are taking shape."

Chen Xing spoke, his voice carrying a faint hint of joy.

"Though the starlight is faint, it has already begun to move."

"After some time, day and night will alternate in the Dao Realm, and the stars will revolve."

Xuan Du gazed at the light gathering in the due east direction, sensing the nascent power of the stars, his eyes flickering slightly.

The foundation of the Dao realm is becoming complete inch by inch.

Those principles are moving from theory to reality, from concept to concrete form.

He sat atop the mountain peak, sensing the slowly growing order within, and remained silent.

He was just waiting.

When those laws truly unfold, when the Dao Realm grows from a newly born world into a complete world capable of supporting all living beings.

Time flowed silently through the Dao Realm, and no one knew how much time had passed.

Those laws are quietly becoming more stable, those sprouts of grass are becoming more lush, and that gathering starlight is becoming brighter and brighter.

He sat facing due north, his grey-white robe flowing like water.

He sensed that the laws of time within the Dao Realm were becoming increasingly fluid.

From its initial intermittent operation, it gradually became continuous and natural, like a dredged riverbed receiving more water.

He opened his eyes, gazing at the world order that was becoming complete, and broke the silence with his voice:

"Xuan Du, the Dao Realm has stabilized enough to support living beings."

"Those laws are already quite complete; although they are still growing, they will not collapse easily."

"You could consider bringing some living beings from the chaos."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du slowly opened his eyes.

He gazed at the void, remained silent for a moment, and then nodded slightly:

"You're right, senior."

"The Dao Realm has indeed become stable enough to support living beings."

"The laws are in operation, order is flowing, plants are growing, and starlight is gathering."

"This land is ready to welcome the first living beings."

He paused, his gaze falling on the churning chaotic void in the distance:

"However, the first batch of living beings cannot be chosen arbitrarily."

"The Dao Realm is newly established, and there is a need for the foundation of living beings and the order of the Dao Realm to be adjusted."

"If one's foundation is too weak, one will be crushed by the martial will of the Dao Realm."

"If one's foundation is too strong, it may in turn disrupt the order of the Dao realm."

"I need to find those entities that are in a bottleneck period but still have potential in the midst of chaos."

"If they enter the Dao Realm, they can break through bottlenecks with the help of the martial arts will of the Dao Realm, without impacting the order of the Dao Realm."

Xu nodded slightly:

"You've thought this through very well."

"In the chaos, there are many such beings."

"Although my billion-dollar fund was sealed away, I still have some memories of those Hunyuan Taiji cultivators who were stuck at the bottleneck."

"If you'd like, I can make a list for you."

Xuan Du looked at him, a hint of caution in his eyes:

"Is the senior willing to lend a hand?"

Xu gently shook his head:

"It's not about taking action."

"I'm just showing you a way."

"I myself was trapped in the seal, and I know what it feels like to be stuck at a bottleneck."

"If I can pave a way for those younger generations, it can be considered as me repaying Chaos for the detours I have taken in a different way."

Xuan Du sensed the solemnity and sincerity in Xu's words and nodded slightly:

"it is good."

"Then please provide a list, senior."

"I will personally go and connect them to the Dao Realm."

He nodded slightly and said nothing more. He simply closed his eyes again and focused his mind on the flowing laws of time.

A moment later, a faint beam of light, formed from the north, landed in front of Xuandu.

Xuan Du raised his hand to take it, his fingertips lightly touching the beam of light.

The beam of light contained several markings, each pointing to a corner of the chaos.

Those markings were imbued with characteristics of aura and cultivation level, and although they were blurry, they were enough to guide the way.

He sensed the markings and nodded slightly.

Most of them are stuck at the bottleneck of the early and middle stages of Hunyuan Taiji, with high cultivation but unable to break through.

If one enters the Dao realm, one can indeed find an opportunity for breakthrough under the impetus of martial arts will.

Xuan Du rose, stood with his hands behind his back, and gazed towards the edge of the Dao Realm:

I'm going out for a bit.

"I'll be back soon."

The Azure Emperor, seated in the due south direction, sensed Xuan Du rising and slightly opened his eyes:

"Do you want me to come along?"

Xuan Du gently shook his head:

"No need."

"You will continue to oversee the Dao Realm and stabilize the Laws of Life."

I'll be back soon.

He took a step forward, passing through the pale golden boundary, and slowly walked towards the first mark in the chaotic void.
