Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 8 008 First Test of Supernatural Power

Before the sermon, Nuwa did not specify how long the sermon would last. Wei Guang naturally did not waste this time, but instead began to study the many techniques that Tongtian had passed down to him.

In addition to the many Shangqing techniques contained in the Shangqing Immortal Manual, there are also the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques.

Since he had not switched to the Shangqing Immortal Technique, he needed to modify the techniques to perform them. Therefore, Wei Guang temporarily shifted his attention away from them and began to study the well-known Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques.

Wei Guang was completely dumbfounded when he saw it.

Wei Guang had always thought that the so-called Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Techniques and Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques were just techniques of transformation, or the difference between great and small supernatural powers. Now he realized just how wrong he was.

The so-called Thirty-Six Methods of the Heavenly Gang are thirty-six cultivation methods that directly point to the Great Dao, and are not supernatural powers at all.

For example, Nuwa cultivated the way of manipulating creation.

The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques are actually protective arts, including supernatural powers as well as various introductory techniques, covering a wide range of aspects.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Techniques are too profound for Wei Guang to attempt for the time being.

After all, this is not the Shangqing Palace. If Nuwa finishes her sermon but you are in a deep state of enlightenment, it's fine for a short time, but the fear is that you might gain too much insight.

In comparison, the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Techniques are much simpler and perfect for passing the time.

……

On this day, the golden flowers in the hall disappeared, and the golden lotus vanished. It was as if Nuwa had finished her sermon. Wei Guang, who had already comprehended the Seventy-Two Arts of the Earthly Fiends, immediately opened his eyes.

Looking towards the top of the throne, Nuwa merely glanced at everyone before disappearing from the throne.

Seeing the assembled Grand Luo Golden Immortals rise and bow to the throne, Wei Guang and Zhao Gongming followed suit. Putting aside their status as martial uncles, the favor of this lecture alone was not to be overlooked.

Afterwards, the group of Great Luo Golden Immortals departed one after another.

Not long after they left, the group of quasi-saints slowly awoke, rose and bowed to the throne, and then hurriedly departed.

I guess he's in a hurry to go back and go into seclusion.

"Master, Senior Uncle."

"Let's go."

Tongtian and the other two didn't say much. They led the group out of the Nuwa Palace and, once outside, carried them across space back to Kunlun Mountain.

"I need to go into seclusion for a while. You can make your own arrangements." After leaving these words, Tongtian entered Shangqing Palace.

Wei Guang exchanged a few brief pleasantries with Zhao Gongming and the other three before parting ways. Zhao Gongming and the others returned to their cultivation, while Wei Guang headed out of Kunlun Mountain.

Next, all the sages appeared, but the Jie Sect was missing a treasure to suppress the destiny.

Although the tragic end of the Jie Sect seems to have nothing to do with fate, there are some things you can't be sure of. Who knows if it was precisely because of unstable fate that the Jie Sect's tragic end was caused?

Wei Guang wanted to try to find Yingzhou Island and Fangzhang Island.

Many fantasy novels say that the Pure White Lotus is on these two islands. Although it's just fiction, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. What if we actually find it?

Previously, when traveling far away, Tongtian had always carried him, so he didn't really understand the vastness of the primordial world. Now, Wei Guang finally experienced the immensity of the primordial wilderness.

With his top-tier escape technique, Starlight Escape, it took him two full years just to leave Kunlun Mountain, and another five years to travel from outside Kunlun Mountain to the East Sea.

That's absolutely outrageous.

"Rumor has it that Yingzhou and Fangzhang Islands are not far from Penglai Island. Let's go check out the vicinity of Penglai first." Wei Guang calculated the location of Penglai Island and then headed straight there.

……

"Fellow Daoist, please wait."

On this day, Wei Guang was on his way when he was stopped by a man. The man's opening remarks made Wei Guang's skin crawl, and he almost turned around and slashed him with his sword.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the Taoist priest was dressed in a long black robe, and his appearance was truly indescribable.

The idea that one's appearance reflects their inner state might not hold true elsewhere, but it was absolutely true in the prehistoric world, because when one takes human form, their appearance is based on the image that the cultivator imagines in their mind.

How could someone so ugly be a good person?

Wei Guang asked warily, "Fellow Daoist, what is your purpose in blocking my path?"

The opponent was a late-stage Golden Immortal, so Wei Guang couldn't afford to be careless, but that was all. Putting aside the spiritual treasure as a backup, the true meaning of the laws alone gave him immense confidence.

Ordinary Golden Immortal cultivators can only comprehend the true meaning of the laws after reaching the Golden Immortal Perfection stage, and once they do, they directly enter the Taiyi realm.

If Wei Guang hadn't encountered the fortuitous opportunity of Nuwa preaching, he would most likely have ended up in the same situation. Therefore, even if the opponent possessed a great treasure, Wei Guang was not afraid.

Even if you're really unlucky, if you encounter someone with a great opportunity, you should still be able to escape.

If all else fails, we can always call in reinforcements.

Among the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques, there is one called Summoning Immortals. In a critical moment, Wei Guang can summon Tongtian. Even if he cannot exert his full strength, dealing with a minor Golden Immortal would be a piece of cake.

However, this technique should not be used unless absolutely necessary, as Tongtian is currently in seclusion.

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. I merely wish to invite you to my cave dwelling for a visit, to discuss the Dao and verify my own understanding. I have no other intentions whatsoever," the Daoist said with a smile.

Wei Guang said regretfully, "I'm truly sorry, but I have important matters to attend to. How about you tell me the location of your cave, and I will definitely pay you a visit when I have some free time?"

"So, fellow Daoist, you're not giving me face?" Seeing that Wei Guang wasn't fooled, the Daoist immediately dropped the pretense.

"Disciple greets Master."

Wei Guang suddenly bowed behind the Taoist priest, startling the priest who hurriedly turned to look. In that instant, Wei Guang made his move.

The moment Wei Guang obtained the Three Lights Sword, he instantly poured in his magic power, and a terrifying aura of annihilation appeared on the sword. However, Wei Guang did not rush to strike.

Instead, he used the Starlight Escape Technique to teleport back to the direction he had just been worshipping.

Just then, realizing he had been tricked and sensing the surge of magical energy behind him, the Taoist immediately turned around, but could not see Wei Guang's figure.

At this moment, Wei Guang finally drew his sword.

As the Three Lights Sword fell, the three intertwined sword energies flashed by and instantly arrived behind the Taoist, so suddenly that the Taoist had no time to react.

"puff……"

As the sword light descended, the Taoist's body was cleaved in two from top to bottom. In the end, even his flesh was obliterated, and his soul and true spirit were not spared either, leaving only a spiritual treasure in place.

"Tui... What kind of class are you, trying to save face with me?"

Wei Guang unleashed the Three Talents Annihilation Divine Light, a version enhanced by the Three Lights Sword and the True Meaning of Annihilation, making it arguably his strongest technique.

In addition, the other party is not smart enough, so naturally, they are doomed.

Although the battle lasted only a few breaths from start to finish, it allowed Wei Guang to test the power of his strongest technique.

He couldn't expect everyone to be as brainless as this guy, but if someone didn't comprehend the true meaning of the laws and didn't have a top-tier spiritual treasure by their side, they should have few rivals at the Golden Immortal realm.

Even at the early stage of Taiyi, it is not necessarily impossible to contend with one or two.
