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

Bottom of the North Sea.

Xuandu awaited his master's response.

suddenly.

"good!"

The calm yet majestic voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader resounded clearly deep within his mind!

This was followed by a series of promises and protections!

Xuan Du felt reassured upon hearing this!

Become!

Master indeed agreed!

Moreover, the Xuan Turtle was treated as a Dharma protector, with a status equivalent to that of a direct disciple!

At most, after a short while, once the total cultivation level is fed back, he will be able to break through to the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.

As for lighting lamps?

if

The North Sea Black Tortoise also sensed the saint's will and the crystal-clear promise.

"Buzz..."

The enormous body of the black tortoise trembled slightly.

It wasn't fear, but excitement.

For the first time, clear emotional fluctuations were revealed in its once-unclear eyes.

It was unbelievable, it was the ecstasy of escaping from a desperate situation, and it was also gratitude for the promise made by the saint!

"The Sage of Heaven...is he truly willing to accept me...?"

The divine sense of the Xuan Turtle arrived, trembling noticeably.

Xuan Du turned around and solemnly cupped his hands in greeting to the Xuan Turtle:

"Senior, the Master's decree has been issued."

"From this day forward, Senior will be a protector of our Jie Sect, with a status equal to that of a direct disciple, enjoying the blessings of the Jie Sect and the protection of the sages."

"Congratulations, senior! You have been accepted as a disciple of a sage; your path to enlightenment is promising!"

The black tortoise remained silent for a long time.

suddenly.

Its enormous head slowly lowered, bowing deeply towards the direction of Jin'ao Island!

"The Black Tortoise... thanks the Sage for accepting it into his fold!"

His voice was hoarse, yet incredibly solemn.

This bow was not only a tribute to the grace of being accepted by the Tongtian Sect Leader.

It is also thanks to that glimmer of hope, thanks to the possibility of breaking the predetermined fate!

The ceremony is over.

The Xuan Turtle raised its head, its chaotic eyes looking at Xuan Du:

"Young friend... no, Senior Brother Xuandu."

It changed its name and its tone became much more friendly.

"Now that I have joined the Jie Sect, I shall naturally follow the teachings of the sages and abide by the rules of the sect."

"I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Xuan Du smiled and returned the greeting:

"Junior brother, you're too kind. As fellow disciples, we should support each other."

(P.S.: If we are of equal status, we address each other as fellow disciples. Please forgive me if this is incorrect.)

Just now.

【Ding! 】

In Xuan Du's mind, the silent system notification sound rang out again without warning!

[Detection detected that the top-tier supernatural being, the 'North Sea Black Tortoise,' has successfully joined the Jie Sect!]

[Current invitation progress: 1/2.]

[Invite another being with top-tier supernatural powers to join the Jie Sect, and you can unlock the total number of supernatural powers!]

really!

Xuan Du's eyes suddenly burst with uncontrollable joy!

He guessed right!

The supernatural powers of the North Sea Black Tortoise have truly been recognized by the system as top-tier!

Although the Xuan Turtle is limited by its destiny and cannot transform into human form, and its movements are slow, its innate supernatural abilities are by no means weak!

That indestructible carapace, capable of supporting the four poles of the primordial world, possesses a defensive power that is probably unmatched in the entire primordial world!

This is absolutely a top-tier defensive divine ability!

"Once I unlock the full power of my abilities... my weaknesses will be completely overcome!"

Xuan Du was so excited that he almost let out a long roar!

The attack is aided by the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the increasingly profound "Shangqing Sword Manual".

If one's defense were enhanced by the defensive divine power of the North Sea Black Tortoise, which is arguably the strongest in the primordial world...

At that time, with offense and defense combined, he will truly be invincible within the territory of the Primordial Golden Immortal!

Even against a peak Quasi-Saint, he might not be without the power to fight!

Almost at the same time as the system notification sound.

A torrent of cultivation power, countless times more powerful and vast than before, suddenly descended from the darkness and surged wildly into Xuan Du's body!

"boom!!!"

Xuan Du's body trembled violently!

That's the cultivation feedback from the [Summarization System]!

The moment the North Sea Black Tortoise joined the Jie Sect, its terrifying cultivation, accumulated over countless eons, was directly fed back to Xuandu through the system's heaven-defying laws.

After all, their combined cultivation level was equal to the sum of all the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Even though the Black Tortoise of the North Sea is a protector, it is still considered a disciple of the Jie Sect.

His cultivation at the peak of the Quasi-Saint level naturally benefited Xuan Du.

Xuan did not hesitate at all.

The moment the system notification sound ended, he was already sitting cross-legged on the seabed permafrost.

With his eyes closed, the Shangqing Gongfa (Shangqing Technique) began to operate!

A profound and pure primordial Daoist aura slowly emanated from his body.

Xuandu was already quite familiar with this kind of surge in cultivation caused by feedback.

From the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the Primordial Golden Immortal, and now...

Every breakthrough is accompanied by incredible feedback from the system.

As the cultivation technique flowed, the vast and unimaginable torrent of cultivation power that descended from the darkness was absorbed methodically by the Shangqing Technique.

It surged into the limbs and bones, cleansed the meridians and dantian, and finally flowed into the primordial Dao fruit that formed its own world in the dantian.

"Buzz..."

Xuan Du's body gradually brightened with a clear, ethereal light, eventually transforming into a dazzling azure halo!

Within the halo, the phenomena of chaos arising and ceasing, and the cycle of the universe, faintly emerge.

The Daoist essence grew ever more profound, and the aura rose steadily!

Just as the North Sea Black Tortoise sensed the stirring aura of a quasi-saint peak above, it was about to ask if it needed to intervene to intimidate him.

Before it could even utter a word, it suddenly sensed something amiss with Xuan Du beside it!

That aura, which was originally stable at the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, began to surge at an unbelievable speed!

"Is this... a breakthrough?"

The chaotic eyes of the North Sea Black Tortoise suddenly widened, its divine sense filled with disbelief.

It clearly remembered that just moments before, Xuandu's aura was only at the mid-stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Moreover, he was in the early stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Logically speaking, even with exceptional talent and abundant opportunities, it would still take at least several eons of accumulation and enlightenment to break through from the mid-stage to the late-stage.

But Xuandu...

It watched as the azure halo surrounding Xuandu grew ever brighter, and the Daoist aura became ever more solid.

In just a few breaths.

"boom!"

A colossal, overwhelming pressure, far greater than before, erupted from Xuandu's body!

Late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal!

Become!

"this......"

The North Sea Black Tortoise's divine sense faltered, almost thinking it had misperceived.

But that crystal-clear late-stage Primordial Chaos Daoist aura could not be faked.

However, what happened next shocked it even more!

Xuandu's breakthroughs... have not stopped!

The Shangqing Cultivation Technique continued to operate at high speed, frantically refining the endless torrent of cultivation power.

The aura that had just entered the later stage did not stop at all, but continued to climb upwards!

Late-game stability... Late-game peak... Reaching a bottleneck...

"He wants to... break through to the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm in one fell swoop?"

Even the massive body of the North Sea Black Tortoise couldn't help but tremble slightly.

This is completely beyond its comprehension!

Born at the beginning of time, it has witnessed the rise and fall of countless powerful beings in the primordial world.

Even saints as powerful as the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti, never had such a terrifying breakthrough speed before they became saints!

Which quasi-saint didn't go through countless years of arduous cultivation, comprehending the universe, and understanding their own path before finally breaking through a small realm?

But Xuandu...

From the mid-stage to the late-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm, and now to the peak...

The whole process was breathtakingly fast!

"What kind of heaven-defying secret is hidden within this child?!"

The Black Tortoise of the North Sea was in turmoil, its chaotic eyes fixed on Xuan Du.

For the first time, he felt an unfathomable awe towards this young cultivator who had just become his senior brother.
