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

News from the Dao Realm spread like ripples across the chaos, reaching beyond the surging undercurrents and shattered void cracks.

Those Primordial Tai Chi cultivators who were once stuck at the bottleneck, those wandering cultivators adrift in the chaos, and those ancient beings lurking deep in the ruins waiting for their chance—all their gazes converged on the direction of the Dao Realm.

Initially, there were only sporadic signs of exploration, tinged with probing and caution, which lingered briefly outside the border before retreating.

But as time went on, those auras became more and more concentrated, like starlight gradually lighting up in the dark night.

The first figure stopped outside the boundary of the Dao Realm.

The figure was hunched over, with an aged face, and its aura fluctuated between the early and middle stages of Hunyuan Taiji, like a stone sculpture worn down by time.

He gazed at the surging pale golden light, his cloudy eyes filled with a hesitation and anticipation he had never felt before in a billion-dollar event.

He remained silent for a long time before speaking:

"I have traveled through the Chaos of Billions of Yuan, but I have never been able to break through that bottleneck."

"I've heard that there's an independent world here called the Dao Realm, which can help cultivators break through their limitations."

"This junior has dared to come here, seeking an opportunity to enter the Dao."

The sound was not loud, but it clearly penetrated the pale golden boundary and entered Xuan Du's ears.

Xuandu sat atop the mountain peak at the very center of the world, sensing the aura of that figure.

Although it is old, its foundation is extremely solid, like an ancient tree that has been weathered by wind and frost for millions of years. Although its exterior is withered, there is still vitality flowing inside.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke, his voice not loud, yet it still penetrated the boundary and reached the ears of that figure:

"The gate to the Dao realm is never closed."

"Since you're so inclined, come in."

Upon hearing this, the figure's hunched back straightened slightly for a moment, then bowed deeply:

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

He stepped across the pale golden boundary, his martial will surging slightly around him for a moment, as if confirming his intentions.

A moment later, the will accepted him, warm and gentle, and guided him to an open space at the edge of the Dao Realm.

He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to perceive the order of this world.

Then came the second figure.

It was a massive, ancient chaotic beast covered in dark red scales, its aura also stuck at the bottleneck of the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos Taiji realm.

It did not speak, but stood outside the boundary and let out a low, long cry, like a giant beast requesting territory.

There was no threat in that long cry, only an extremely simple sincerity.

Xuan Du sensed the solemnity and anticipation in that long cry and nodded slightly:

"Come in."

The ancient beast crossed the boundary, its massive body slightly shrinking within the martial will of the Dao Realm.

It crouched low at the edge of the area of ​​annihilation laws in the due west direction, its dark red scales glowing faintly in the aura of ash origin, before closing its eyes and sinking into cultivation.

The third figure was a chaotic spiritual root that shimmered with emerald green light, resembling a giant walking tree.

Its branches swayed slightly beyond the boundary. Although it did not open its mouth, the desire to enter surged like a tide, pure and without any impurities.

Xuan Du sensed that pure longing, and his voice softened slightly:

"There are life-giving laws within the Dao Realm, enough for you to take root."

"Come in."

The branches of that spiritual root drooped slightly, like a silent bow.

It then crossed the boundary and landed near the area of ​​the Law of Life where the Azure Emperor was located due south.

The fine roots slowly sank into the soil, and the branches and leaves stretched slightly in the martial arts will, like an ancient tree that had just been transplanted adapting to the new land.

The fourth figure was a humanoid being with a profound aura, its entire body shimmering with a faint earthy yellow light.

It stood outside the boundary, remained silent for a moment, and then bowed respectfully:

"This junior cultivates the origin of the earth and senses that there are laws governing the Dao realm in operation."

"This junior wishes to settle down here, and asks fellow Daoist to accept me."

Xuan Du sensed the profound and weighty foundation within that aura and nodded slightly.

"The law of bearing is at the intersection of due north and due west; you shall find a suitable place to take root."

The humanoid being bowed, stepped into the Dao Realm, landed at the edge of the area where the rock was located, and sat down cross-legged.

The fifth, sixth, and seventh.

One after another, those figures passed through the pale golden boundary, each finding a law region similar to their own origin to take root.

Some fell into the Time Law region due north, some into the Astrological Law region due east, some into the Vitality Law region due south, and some into the Ash Law region due west.

Although those figures had different cultivation levels and unique origins, they all had one thing in common.

They are all stuck at bottlenecks, like rivers blocked with billions of dollars, waiting for some force to clear them.

Meanwhile, the martial will of the Dao realm is gradually clearing away those blockages inch by inch in an extremely gentle yet irreversible way.

The aura around that old, hunched figure was slowly rising, like an ancient tree that appeared withered in late autumn but was accumulating strength at its roots, steadily approaching spring.

The aura around the dark red chaotic ancient beast also began to loosen, and a tiny crack appeared on its bottleneck, as if it might completely collapse at any moment.

The emerald green spiritual root was visibly unfurling its branches and leaves.

The dense root system extends deep into the area governed by the laws of life.

Those beings cultivating in the Dao realm are undergoing transformation at an unexpected speed.

Xuandu sat atop the peak, sensing the rising energy and the gradual expansion of the Dao Realm's boundaries as living beings grew.

He knew that it was only a matter of time before those beings broke through their bottlenecks, and their breakthroughs would make the laws of the Dao Realm even more profound.

This is a virtuous cycle, like a river that is forming. The larger the water volume, the deeper the riverbed, and the deeper the riverbed, the more water it can hold.

The ethereal voice drifted slowly from the north, carrying a tranquility that even a billionaire's gathering had never possessed:

"The Dao Realm has gotten back on track."

"The first batch of beings to enter the realm are breaking through, the laws are being perfected, and the boundaries are expanding."

"What are your plans next?"

Xuan Du remained silent for a moment, his gaze falling on the distant, churning pale golden border:

"Next, I plan to guide the second batch of beings."

"The first batch was to test the Dao Realm's carrying capacity, while the second batch will be selected with even greater care."

"Those who have been stuck in the late stage or even the peak of Hunyuan Taiji for too long are the ones who need the Dao Realm the most."

"Their breakthroughs will allow the Dao Realm to truly enter a phase of rapid growth."

Xu nodded slightly upon hearing this, but did not speak again.

He had already understood Xuandu's plan: to proceed steadily and cautiously, first testing the carrying capacity, and then carefully selecting high-end combat forces.

Ultimately, the Dao Realm will flourish under the dual impetus of the operation of laws and the growth of living beings.

Xuan Du stood up, his hands behind his back, atop the mountain peak, gazing at the gradually increasing auras beyond the boundary of the Dao Realm.

He knew that among those auras were those who genuinely sought the Way, and those who harbored probing intentions.

But he was in no hurry. Those who were truly devoted to the Dao would eventually be guided by him, and those who were testing the waters would eventually retreat on their own before the boundaries of the Dao realm.

He took a step forward, passing through the pale golden boundary, and slowly walked towards the even more desolate void deep within the chaos.

The second batch of lives is waiting for him there.
