Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 6 Kunlun Mountain, the Five Great Masters of Tongtian

"Since no one objects, go and get this gourd!" Tongtian said irritably. This kid even wants such junk, doesn't that make him, Tongtian, look poor and destitute?

These powerful beings had no idea that during the great calamity of the Lich King and the destruction of the primordial world, this prematurely destroyed gourd was a top-grade natural treasure, and there would be no problem in refining it into an acquired spiritual treasure.

After Li Yunjing picked the blue gourd, Nuwa seemed to be inspired. Looking at the gourd vine on the stone wall, she beckoned it to her hand. This scene made Li Yunjing feel heartbroken.

It is known that the "Primordial Gourd Root" grows on Mount Buzhou and contains seven primordial gourds, one each of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

The crimson gourd was refined by Hongyun into the "Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd"; the orange gourd was refined by Nuwa into the "Demon-Summoning Gourd"; the yellow gourd was refined by Dijun into the "Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife"; the purple gourd was refined by Laozi into the "Purple-Gold Gourd"; the green and cyan gourds fell into the hands of Yuanshi and Tongtian. The two had too many good things on them, so these two gourds were not well-known, but they were still innate spiritual treasures.

This "gourd vine" fell into the hands of Nuwa, who used it to create humans, transforming it into a treasure of merit.

Considering his human origins, Li Yunjing felt embarrassed to take the treasure that created humanity, which allowed Nuwa to benefit from it.

The Kunlun Mountains stretch for tens of millions of miles and are divided into East Kunlun and West Kunlun. In terms of spiritual energy, it is second only to Buzhou Mountain, which Li Yunjing visited. This treasure mountain has countless rare treasures, and its mountains and rivers are like a fairyland.

After their trip to Buzhou Mountain, Li Yunjing and Yu Yixian returned to Kunlun Mountain with the Three Pure Ones. The Three Pure Ones occupied Dong Kunlun Mountain. The fact that the Three Pure Ones could occupy such a vast immortal mountain shows how powerful and boundless their magical power was in the primordial world!

Now, "Yuxu Palace" is still called "Sanqing Palace". When they arrived, Tongtian arranged for Li Yunjing and the other person to cultivate in "Shangqing Palace". Here, Li Yunjing also met Tongtian's four direct disciples: Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, and Wudang Shengmu.

These four masters were all above the Golden Immortal level. The eldest brother, Daoist Duobao, had even reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. The three Holy Mothers, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, and Wudang Holy Mother were all at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, far stronger than Li Yunjing and Yu Yixian.

After entering the sect, Tongtian took care of Li Yunjing and preached the Dao for seven consecutive days in the Shangqing Palace. There were no specific cultivation methods, but only words of the Great Dao, which were all the Great Dao he heard from Hongjun Daozu. According to Tongtian's own understanding, he transformed them into the Shangqing Great Dao and then passed it on to the six people.

The Great Dao is formless. Even when a Great Luo Golden Immortal expounds the Dao, everyone's understanding will still be different. Li Yunjing obtained the true words of a Great Luo Golden Immortal and compared them with his own cultivation method. He gained a lot of inspiration by analogy, and all the doubts he had about cultivation before were easily resolved.

However, as Tongtian explained, more doubts arose in his mind. He then realized that he was still far from being a true cultivator, and only had a superficial understanding of the basics.

Seven days later, Tongtian went into seclusion. The four Golden Immortals, Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, Guiling Shengmu, and Wudang Shengmu, chatted with Li Yunjing for half a day, accepted some "Enlightenment Spirit Tea," and then also went into seclusion.

In the vast "Shangqing Palace", only Li Yunjing and Yu Yixian remained as idle people.

"Old Eagle! The senior brothers and sisters up there have profound cultivation levels and are still cultivating so diligently. I'm going into seclusion too. Go play by yourself!" With that, Li Yunjing returned to his "Chaos Palace".

"What do you mean? Are you all diligently cultivating, but I'm the only one who doesn't know how to improve?" Looking at the empty "Shangqing Palace," Yu Yixian muttered irritably, then turned around and went back to her residence to cultivate.

Tongtian has only taken in six disciples so far, and Li Yunjing is able to occupy a "Chaos Palace" all to himself. When all the immortals gather in the future, it is estimated that Li Yunjing will not have the conditions to occupy a palace all to himself.

Thinking about this, Li Yunjing could understand his master Yuanshi's thoughts to some extent. What was originally a blessed land of immortals had suddenly become chaotic with the arrival of tens of thousands of people. No wonder his master was unhappy.

This time, Li Yunjing secluded himself for two thousand years, and his cultivation level rose from the early stage of Xuanxian to the peak of Xuanxian. In a sacred mountain like Kunlun Mountain, which is also the residence of the Three Pure Ones, the spiritual energy is extremely rich, making it incredibly easy to improve one's cultivation level.

If Li Yunjing hadn't focused on studying the "Shangqing Great Dao" taught by Tongtian, he could have broken through his cultivation level and become a Golden Immortal long ago.

However, cultivation level is not particularly important in this peaceful period. Li Yunjing must lay the most solid foundation. His opportunity to attain enlightenment will come during the Journey to the West calamity, when he will unleash his full potential. Even if he cultivates to the peak of Quasi-Saint now, it will be of no use.

Instead of being impatient for quick success, it's better to lay a solid foundation and develop in a low-key manner. When Li Yunjing truly becomes a force to be reckoned with in the primordial world, even other saints will find it difficult to stop him.

Just as Li Yunjing was cultivating, the second lecture of the "Zixiao Palace" had arrived. Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian instructed their disciples to guard the house and cultivate well before flying into the Nine Heavens, stepping into the Chaos, and heading to the "Zixiao Palace" to listen to the Dao.

Hongjun Daozu preached for three thousand years. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yunjing flew out from Kunlun Mountain, intending to return to Wuyi Mountain. He had not returned for more than three thousand years and did not know what the situation was like in the mountains. His old nest contained a spiritual root of heaven and earth. If he did not go back to take a look, he would always feel uneasy.

This kind of spiritual sense is innate to cultivators. Li Yunjing naturally sensed that since he hadn't returned for three thousand years, something must have happened in his hometown. That's why he quickly traversed the prehistoric world and flew towards "Wuyi Mountain," which was hundreds of millions of miles away.

The journey was uneventful. Li Yunjing deliberately avoided the spheres of influence of the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan. In those days, the two clans dominated the prehistoric world, and they were all brave and fierce. Naturally, he did not want to form any karmic ties with them.

A century later, Li Yunjing finally returned to his familiar blessed land. However, upon seeing the scene outside the mountain gate, he couldn't help but frown. "Wuyi Mountain" was still hidden in the great array of heaven and earth, but hundreds of demons had gathered around it, dressed in neat armor, each with powerful magic and boiling killing intent.

"It seems to be a large army from Heaven!"

From afar, Li Yunjing cast an illusion spell to conceal himself. His brows furrowed slightly. These demon soldiers were not highly skilled. The strongest of them was only at the early stage of the Profound Immortal realm, while the demon soldiers were only at the Heavenly Immortal realm, placing them at the absolute bottom of the prehistoric world.

In this era where Golden Immortals are less valuable than dogs and Taiyi Immortals are everywhere, they, like Li Yunjing, are figures who are insignificant beyond measure.

"Phew~~~"

Thinking of this, Li Yunjing blew out a breath and cast a "Freeze-Body Spell". All the hundreds of Heavenly Court demon soldiers were frozen in place. Li Yunjing revealed himself and came to the entrance of the "Wuyi Mountain" blessed land. He opened a small crack, then turned around and blew out another breath. Only then did the demon soldiers and generals of the demon race regain consciousness and be able to move freely.
