After all, only those at the Quasi-Saint level can begin to touch upon the laws of space and time; as for the Great Luo Golden Immortal, they go a step further, their true spirits already transcending the river of time and not bound by it.

At this moment, Chen Yu couldn't help but ponder what level his current strength was at, and if measured by the current standards of the prehistoric world, what realm would it be equivalent to?

He has opened up the starry river, condensed the Dao fruit, and deeply integrated his true spirit into it, thus enjoying the destiny of living as long as heaven and earth. Such an achievement is no different from that of the Great Luo Golden Immortal in the primordial world.

The reason why the Great Golden Immortal is revered is that he transcends reincarnation, is untouched by time, and lives and dies with heaven and earth.

Now that he has reached this level, does it mean that the "Earth Immortal" realm in his self-created cultivation method is actually equivalent to the "Great Luo Golden Immortal" in the prehistoric system?

Upon thinking of this, Chen Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

After repeated deductions, no conclusion could be reached. After all, he had never personally witnessed the extent of the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, nor could he make a precise judgment.

He decided to stop thinking about it, calm his mind, concentrate on his seclusion, and focus all his efforts on breaking through the final barrier—condensing his Dao body.

From then on, time quietly flowed by, and a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

Throughout these thousand years, Chen Yu never left seclusion, immersing himself entirely in the refinement of his Dao body.

Meanwhile, on Kunlun Mountain, the situation became increasingly chaotic, with a pervasive atmosphere of disorder and chaos.

Because most of the disciples of the Jie Sect were born into the demon race, they were bloodthirsty by nature and enjoyed hunting living beings. They wantonly preyed on strange beasts and spirit beasts in the Kunlun Mountains, turning the originally peaceful and peaceful immortal mountain into a bloody hunting ground.

At first, the disciples of the Chan Sect were able to tolerate it, but after repeated incidents, they finally could not bear it any longer, and friction between the two sides gradually arose, and the conflict intensified day by day.

The Jie Sect had a large and powerful force, and their momentum was overwhelming. Guang Chengzi and other disciples of the Chan Sect were few in number and were clearly at a disadvantage, so they had no choice but to temporarily avoid confrontation and cease taking the initiative to negotiate.

However, their resentment deepened over time, eventually turning them into bitter enemies, to the point where they could no longer tolerate each other.

Later, it escalated to open combat, with fists and feet flying and even weapons being drawn, and the conflict continued to rise.

When Yuqing Yuanshi witnessed this, he wanted to protect his disciples, but he was also concerned about the reputation of Shangqing Tongtian. He could only reprimand them a few times before turning away and leaving without pursuing the matter further.

Until that day, a disciple of the Jie Sect actually killed the most cherished beast of the Jade Pure Primordial Lord, thus touching his sore spot.

Enraged, Yuqing Yuanshi could no longer tolerate it and immediately took action to suppress and kill the disciple on the mountaintop.

This move was like adding fuel to a fire, instantly igniting the long-suppressed grudge between him and Shangqing Tongtian.

The two could no longer restrain themselves and a direct confrontation broke out. They exchanged heated words, glared at each other, and almost came to blows.

Taiqing Laozi observed all of this with a cold eye, remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly.

"Ugh!"

"That's enough, that's enough."

"You two can fight over Kunlun Mountain. I... will find another place."

"One day I will find another place in the primordial world, settle down there, and no longer concern myself with disputes."

After Laozi finished speaking, he lingered his gaze on the two of them for a moment, then stood up and drifted away.

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian watched the departing figure, a hint of sorrow rising in their eyes.

"Second brother, since you cannot tolerate my disciples, I will follow the example of my eldest brother and find another place to establish my Daoist practice. You shall be in charge of Kunlun Mountain alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shangqing Tongtian stood up and led his disciples of the Jie Sect out into the depths of the primordial wilderness to seek a new foothold.

From then on, Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Shangqing Tongtian finally went their separate ways.

Chen Yu was completely unaware of all this strife. At that time, he was in seclusion, cultivating his own path.

He has reached a state of breakthrough, and external disturbances cannot affect his mind.

A spiritual light flowed around him, and a fruit slowly appeared—this was no ordinary fruit, but a "Dao Fruit" that he had condensed with his supreme magical power.

Within the galaxy he created, vast magical power surged like a river, pouring entirely into the Dao Fruit.

As power was continuously injected, the Dao Fruit began to crack, then reshape itself, gradually transforming into a human-shaped outline.

Its figure was exactly the same as Chen Yu's, and its aura and appearance were indistinguishable.

This is the "Dao Body" he has cultivated. Although it is still ethereal and not yet fully solidified, once it is completed, he will be able to step into the dimension of space and time.

At that time, even if the physical body perishes, as long as the Dao body still exists within the river of time and space, there will still be a chance to return to heaven and earth.

In other words, if this body is immortal, one's life is secure. Even if one dies in a calamity, one can be reborn through the Dao and return to the primordial world.

At this moment, Chen Yu looked at the illusory Dao body, a slight smile appearing on his lips. He then calmed his mind again and continued to refine the quality of the Dao body.

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, inside the Sanqing Palace.

Yuqing Yuanshi stood in the hall, his gaze falling on the two empty prayer mats beside him, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes.

He slowly rose and stepped out of the Sanqing Palace.

He had long anticipated this day, but he never expected it to come so soon.

Everything originated from the fact that it was predetermined when he and Tongtian each established their own religions.

He founded the Chan religion, which advocated following the will of Heaven and elucidating the principles of the operation of the Heavenly Way.

The Jie Sect, established by the Tongtian Sect Leader, aims to "seize a glimmer of hope," widely welcoming all living beings and striving for a path to immortality for all.

From that time onward, their paths have been in opposition—"Chan" proclaims enlightenment, while "Jie" seizes; their ideologies are contradictory, and they can hardly coexist.

As Yuqing Yuanshi stepped out of the palace, the disciples of the Chan Sect outside bowed respectfully.

He glanced at it briefly, said nothing, and walked straight ahead.

He stood at the very edge of Kunlun Mountain, gazing at the vast sky, his eyes filled with memories of the past.

At the same time, on the vast East Sea, the Tongtian Sect Leader felt a stirring in his heart, sensing a blessed land calling to him from the depths of the universe.

He led his disciples on a cloud, stood on the vast sea, and gazed at the boundless blue waves before him.

His mind was aware of it—his sacred place was right here in this vast ocean.

The Tongtian Sect Leader looked around at his disciples, raised his hand to cast a spell, protecting everyone with his magic power, and then broke through the air to go straight to the place he sensed.

Upon arrival, the scene before him startled him slightly.

A colossal island lay across the sea, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, shaped like a golden turtle lying on the waves, its grandeur magnificent.

The island is surrounded by verdant peaks, babbling streams, craggy rocks, and a spiritual atmosphere; the earth's veins rise, auspicious clouds swirl, exotic beasts roam through the forests, and rare flowers bloom across the fields.

Upon witnessing this magnificent scene, the Master of Tongtian suddenly understood and immediately proclaimed in a loud voice:

"I, Shangqing Tongtian, hereby establish a Taoist temple on Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea, named 'Biyou Palace,' and from this day forward, I shall be known as 'Master Tongtian.'"

Its voice, aided by the power of the Heavenly Dao, resounded throughout the primordial world, reaching the ears of countless living beings, who all turned their gazes eastward.

On Mount Kunlun, Yuqing Yuanshi frowned upon hearing the voice, and after a moment, he also spoke and swore an oath:

"I, Yuqing Yuanshi, established the Daoist temple 'Yuxu Palace' in Kunlun Mountain, and from then on I was called 'Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun'."
