Primordial Era: Refusing Hongjun's path to sainthood, I attained the Dao of Hunyuan.

Chapter 187 Refining

After a while, Xuanhuang changed again. This time, it even disappeared and returned to the primordial state.

It is formless and without substance, only the primordial Qi.

However, in this state, Xuanhuang's divine sense became extremely strong, vast and boundless. In the blink of an eye, it could sweep across the entire prehistoric Three Realms, and even beyond the Three Realms, penetrating deep into the chaos.

It is conceivable how powerful Xuanhuang's divine sense was in this state.

Moreover, following the beginning of the universe, Xuanhuang underwent the final transformation of the Five Elements, which resulted in the transformation into Taiyi.

The Great Change is when Yin and Yang have not yet changed, vast and boundless, without light or form, without shape or name. Silent and desolate, this is called the Great Change.

In this state, Xuanhuang's entire being vanished, even his divine consciousness seemed to disappear.

no longer exists.

It seems as if they have completely disappeared from this world.

The Way of Taiyi, in the deduction of Xuanhuang, is closest to Wuji, which is the most ideal ultimate way for Xuanhuang so far.

Of the Five Great Ways, Xuanhuang has the deepest understanding of Taiji, followed by Taisu, Taishi, Taichu, and Taiyi.

Decreasing sequentially.

If Xuanhuang's mastery of Taiji is ten, then Taisu is at most five, Taishi is two, Taichu is one, and as for Taiyi, it hasn't even grasped one tenth of it.

Even so, Xuanhuang entered the state of Taiyi and transformed himself into Taiyi.

They immediately felt the terror of the Dao of Taiyi.

It seems not to exist, yet it seems to be everywhere. It even seems to influence changes in spacetime.

My own thoughts, it seems, have appeared in the future as time flows by, or perhaps flowed downstream.

Or perhaps it's like traveling against the current, somehow going back to the past.

Xuanhuang could not maintain this state for long and soon withdrew, returning to its original form.

Xuanhuang opened his eyes and felt that his cultivation had increased by an unknown amount. His magical power also seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and become exceptionally strong.

Its magical power was vast and boundless, seemingly inexhaustible.

This is his Five Paths, which he has cultivated to a high level. Even his magical power is no longer obtained solely from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as it used to be.

Or perhaps it was forcibly refined by absorbing the primordial chaos. Or perhaps it was obtained from the unseen realm during enlightenment.

Xuanhuang awoke and left the pass. He did not summon his disciples, but simply met with the Queen Mother of the West, and the couple reunited for a period of time.

Xuanhuang then left Xuanhuang Heaven and sat down cross-legged in the chaos. He reached out and grabbed a bamboo staff made of bitter bamboo, which appeared in his hand.

This bamboo staff was his treasure for proving the Dao. The reason it was a treasure for proving the Dao was that in the past, when cultivating the Dao, he often used this bamboo staff to verify whether his Dao was correct.

However, nowadays, Xuanhuang doesn't really need this bamboo staff to guide him anymore, so the bamboo staff is now more outdated than Xuanhuang's.

After Xuanhuang took out the bamboo staff, he silently activated his Five Elements Dao, infusing it into the staff and transforming it.

This bamboo staff, having been with Xuanhuang for a long time, has long since become a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, possessing terrifying power that is almost comparable to that of an innate supreme treasure.

Now, with Xuanhuang's cultivation advancing once again, especially his deeper understanding of the Dao of Taiyi.

The bamboo staff seemed like a bottomless pit, devouring massive amounts of chaotic energy.

The color of the bamboo cane changes constantly, sometimes green, sometimes red, sometimes yellow, sometimes white, sometimes black, sometimes gold, sometimes purple, sometimes blue, or sometimes a mixture of various colors, ever-changing.

At the same time, the aura emanating from the bamboo staff was constantly changing.

And so, after an unknown amount of time, the bamboo cane gradually became dark and grayish.

And their aura also became more restrained.

At first glance, it looks like a gray bamboo, but can bamboo be gray?

Xuanhuang stopped what he was doing. The bamboo staff had been completed. After integrating his Five Great Daos, the bamboo staff finally broke through the key bottleneck and transformed from a top-grade innate spiritual treasure into an innate supreme treasure.

Another innate treasure has appeared in this world. Strangely, however, no unusual phenomena have manifested, and no one knows about it.

This includes all the saints, and even Hongjun.

Xuanhuang thought for a moment, then took out the Hunyuan Sword, and then took out the tip of the God-Slaying Spear.

Hongjun once told him that the Hunyuan Sword could be even stronger, and the key lay in the third-grade black lotus and the tip of the God-Slaying Spear.

If it is further integrated into the Hunyuan Sword, it will be able to possess the power to kill saints.

However, the third-grade black lotus was bestowed upon Kong Xuan by Xuanhuang. Now, only the tip of this god-slaying spear remains. If it is integrated into the Hunyuan Sword, can it kill a saint?

Maybe yes, maybe no.

Xuanhuang didn't care, because now, if he really wanted to kill a saint, it would be very easy, just as Hongjun had once said.

It's just unnecessary now.

He is no longer on the same level as the saints. The moment he touched the Dao of Taiyi, he successfully connected the Five Daos of Taiyi.

His cultivation level was no longer at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

If we're talking about his current level of attainment, then he should be at the same level as Hongjun, at the Heavenly Dao level.

Of course, the so-called Heavenly Dao Realm is just a figment of imagination, but it represents that Xuanhuang has truly transcended this world.

Even the Primordial Heavenly Dao, though far more powerful than himself, is now powerless against him.

I can now do whatever I want.

Xuanhuang looked at the tip of the God-Slaying Spear, and with a thought, he activated and refined it using the Five Elements Dao.

The spear tip shifted between solid and void several times, and suddenly transformed into a black, wisp of air.

It seems to have been restored to its original state by Xuanhuang.

However, after thinking about it, Xuanhuang did not integrate the tip of the God-Slaying Spear into the Hunyuan Sword, but instead integrated it into the bamboo staff he had just refined.

The bamboo staff had just become a supreme innate treasure. Now, with the infusion of the tip of the God-Slaying Spear, a flash of black light appeared, the bamboo staff trembled, and then fell silent again.

At first glance, it seems that nothing has changed.

However, when Xuanhuang took the bamboo staff in his hand, he suddenly raised it, and the bamboo staff suddenly changed into the shape of a long spear.

God-Slaying Spear!

The Five Elements Dao can transform matter and energy, not to mention physical transformation. A bamboo staff infused with the Five Elements Dao can naturally change its form at will, transforming into a god-slaying spear.

With the addition of this spear tip, it is truly indistinguishable from the original God-Slaying Spear.

Furthermore, not only the God-Slaying Spear, but now this bamboo staff can also transform into various other treasures.

For example, the Tai Chi symbol, the Pangu Banner, the Chaos Bell, and the Qiankun Cauldron, etc.

Xuanhuang put away the God-Slaying Spear, which was still in the shape of a bamboo staff. Holding it in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness.

Now that his cultivation level is higher, he is also more lonely. In the vast prehistoric Three Realms, it is difficult to find a worthy opponent.

Or rather, if he really wanted to find an opponent now, there was only one: Hongjun.

Compared to Hongjun, he has only just reached the Heavenly Dao Realm, and his strength is probably still difficult to match.

Therefore, he is now second only to the emperor and above all the saints, but it is really quite boring.

Pointing at the Hunyuan Sword, Xuanhuang decided not to continue using it. With the bamboo staff, he no longer needed the sword.

This sword seemed somewhat superfluous, so Xuanhuang decided to modify it.

It was continuously tempered using the Five Elements Dao, and after a long time, the Hunyuan Sword finally turned into a dark purple-black substance that was neither light nor liquid.

Xuanhuang began to shape it, and gradually, it formed a lotus flower with twenty-four petals, in a purplish-black color.
