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

Chapter 50 Divine Light Shocks the Primordial World

However, near the membrane of heaven and earth, Xuanhuang's fire elemental avatar, Binghuo Daoist, was focused on cultivation, completely ignoring everything else.

Beyond the membrane of heaven and earth lies the terrifying inner chaos, filled with violent gray currents that surge and collide constantly, forming vortex after vortex, generating numerous bolts of lightning, as well as elements of earth, water, fire, and wind.

These elements such as thunder, earth, water, fire, and wind can sometimes damage the membrane of heaven and earth, but usually only cause minor damage, and the membrane of heaven and earth recovers immediately.

The membrane of heaven and earth also represents the growth potential of the entire primordial world. At this time, it is in a vigorous stage, so it can fully withstand the continuous impact of the chaotic energy and continuously devour the chaotic energy to strengthen itself and the entire primordial world.

After being absorbed and transformed by the membrane of heaven and earth, the chaotic energy turned into various kinds of innate spiritual energy. These newly formed innate spiritual energies were still very volatile, but Xuanhuang's clone could easily absorb them.

The Daoist Binghuo sat cross-legged in the void not far from the membrane of heaven and earth, his whole body radiating a dazzling red light. Strands of innate spiritual energy were constantly being devoured, forming a terrifying vortex.

However, the red light became even more dazzling during this process.

Xuanhuang's understanding of the Five Elements is sufficient, but not yet complete.

At this moment, Xuanhuang walked over and came to Binghuo Daoist, saying, "Fellow Daoist."

Binghuo Daoist also stopped his cultivation and nodded to Xuanhuang, saying, "My lord, you've arrived?"

Xuanhuang nodded and sat down cross-legged. Above Xuanhuang's head, a large auspicious cloud appeared.

But unlike usual, the auspicious cloud above Xuanhuang was completely empty.

There were neither three flowers nor plum trees, no magical treasures, nor any unusual phenomena.

Without saying much, Daoist Binghuo made a hand seal, and his entire body suddenly dispersed, transforming into a magnificent divine light that illuminated hundreds of millions of miles, a crimson expanse.

It was exactly the appearance of the Fire Element Divine Light. Compared to the past, after more than 10,000 years of cultivation, this divine light had obviously grown much stronger and its power was also greater.

The crimson divine light was directed toward the auspicious cloud above Xuanhuang's head. The divine light, which was clearly hundreds of millions of miles in size, seemed to condense again when it entered the auspicious cloud. In the end, the entire divine light was absorbed into the auspicious cloud.

The crimson divine light, like a fire dragon, roared and swam back and forth in the auspicious clouds, emitting a dazzling light that still illuminated a range of hundreds of millions of miles around.

However, there are few living beings near this celestial membrane, so no one has seen this strange phenomenon.

After withdrawing the Fire Element Divine Light, Xuanhuang sat cross-legged silently, letting the Fire Element Divine Light move continuously within the auspicious clouds, while also absorbing a large amount of the surrounding innate spiritual energy, as if he were comprehending something.

And so, thousands of years passed, and during those thousands of years, little changed in the primordial world.

However, among the powerful beings of the primordial world, some have successfully severed their physical bodies. For example, Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian successfully severed their physical bodies shortly after their return and finally became quasi-saints.

Then, Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Dijun, Taiyi, Dongwanggong, Xiwangmu, Fuxi, Nuwa, Styx, Kunpeng and other powerful beings also successfully severed their corpses.

Besides these, some powerful beings have also succeeded in severing their corpses by using rare and extraordinary items such as innate spiritual treasures.

This caused a great upheaval in the primordial world, giving the impression of a change of dynasty.

The previous situation where the Great Luo Golden Immortal was the ceiling, the top-level powerhouse, has changed to the point where only those who become Quasi-Saints can be considered truly top-level powerhouses.

In the primordial world, undercurrents began to stir. But all of this had no effect on Xuanhuang, who was cultivating near the membrane of heaven and earth.

On this day, Xuanhuang finally opened his eyes, and it was seen that he had also formed several magic seals.

Meanwhile, in the primordial world, there were Wutu Daoists discussing the Dao with people in the northern lands, Gengjin Daoists battling and exchanging techniques with people in the southern lands, and Yimu and Renshui Daoists on Yingzhou Island, all of whom stopped in their tracks.

The four Taoist priests each transformed into a massive, long divine light that stretched for hundreds of millions of miles.

"boom!"

Four divine lights shot into the sky, then converged to form a four-colored divine light, which flew towards the mysterious and yellow membrane of heaven and earth.

Such a commotion truly alarmed many powerful beings, who were all shocked by what they saw.

Powerful divine thoughts shattered the void and followed the direction in which the four divine lights flew.

But then, these four divine lights flew straight to the vicinity of the celestial membrane, where a Taoist was sitting cross-legged in the void.

When the four divine lights flew over, they triggered a red divine light within the Taoist's auspicious clouds.

The red divine light also shot into the sky instantly.

It merged with the other four divine lights.

"Buzz!!"

The five divine lights combined, reaching to the heavens and the earth, arranged one by one in five colors: blue, red, yellow, white, and black.

Standing behind that Taoist priest, they resembled five pillars of heaven.

Those divine thoughts, following closely behind, arrived here and immediately felt a great sense of oppression and terror.

Unparalleled power emanated from these five divine lights, seemingly freezing their divine senses.

Unconsciously, the divine thoughts, like a tide, quickly receded.

"Xuanhuang Daoist, his Five-Colored Divine Light is utterly invincible!" At this moment, countless powerful beings throughout the world uttered similar exclamations.

Even the three brothers, now quasi-saints of the Three Pure Ones, felt a sense of dread.

How exactly did that Xuanhuang Daoist cultivate?

I originally thought that, having worked hard and become a quasi-saint, the gap should have narrowed.

But now, it's suddenly become clear that the gap between the two sides has not only not narrowed, but has actually widened.

This was a blow to Yuanshi, Tongtian, and even Laozi.

This blow was particularly severe at the level of one's Dao heart. The three of them looked rather grim.

"He's probably about to break through again," Lao Tzu suddenly said.

These words made Yuanshi and Tongtian, whose expressions were already unpleasant, look even worse.

Yuan Shi's face even turned somewhat pale.

"Is he really just someone who attained enlightenment through innate spiritual roots?" Tongtian couldn't help but ask.

Lao Tzu nodded, then shook his head, and said, "Who knows? But he was the first to break through to Quasi-Saint, or rather, back then he was called a Primordial Golden Immortal. It's not surprising that he's somewhat special."

"We are friends with him, not enemies, so there's no need to overthink it," Laozi said, glancing at his two younger brothers.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi and Tongtian's expressions improved considerably. They nodded in response but remained silent.

Lao Tzu sighed, but said nothing more, closed his eyes, and went into meditation.
