Primordial Era: The Giant Turtle Returning from Immortality

The three strolled along. Having reached this point, traveling on clouds would be extremely difficult for them, so it was better to use escape techniques on the ground.

Centuries later, the outline of Phoenix Perch Mountain can be faintly seen in the distance.

Sudden.

Two dark green figures rose from the direction of the mountain gate, blocking the way. They were two Qilin who had just reached the threshold of Taiyi.

One of the Qilins lightly tapped its forelegs and spoke in a commanding tone: "Greetings to the two sacred beings of Phoenix Perch Mountain. The Crown Prince has extended an invitation; please proceed swiftly."

Fuxi frowned, stopped his flight on the cloud, and asked, "Who is your crown prince?"

The other Qilin held its head high, its scales gleaming with a cold, hard green light, and spoke arrogantly: "Second son of the Qilin Ancestor, His Highness the Ink Qilin."

At this moment, Nuwa's voice echoed in Guiyuan's mind, speaking at an extremely fast pace: "After the Ancestral Qilin gave birth to the Four Unlikes, it interacted with the Primordial Earth Spirit to produce the Black Qilin."

His cultivation level is similar to ours, also at the peak of the Taiyi realm.

Guiyuan felt a chill run down his spine.

The dragon, phoenix, and qilin are indeed the chosen races of today. The second generation of these dragon, phoenix, and qilin are at most innate beings.

I never expected that his cultivation level could rival that of a Primordial Saint.

The ancient races were originally divided into three categories: acquired beings, innate beings, and innate deities.

In the primordial world, there should be no beings born after birth; rather, there are many beings born from the innate divine beings.

The innate deities are born to uphold the Dao, and even those who attain the Guiyuan realm adhere to the defensive Dao.

Although it hasn't reached the Great Luo yet, it's only a matter of time.

However, for beings born in the primordial state, breaking through to the Great Luo realm is almost impossible unless there are other means.

For example, luck or merit.

Even Guiyuan cannot fully comprehend the subtleties of these two things, because the Great World of Immortality simply does not contain these two kinds of things.

It's no wonder that the three races are so keen on vying for supremacy and expanding their territory and numbers.

After all, the three ancestors who were able to lead many beings and solve the problem of the ferocious beast emperor Shen Ni were no ordinary people.

If there's no profit to be made, why would they fight to the death?

Upon hearing Mo Qilin's reply.

Fuxi's expression remained unchanged, but his tone turned colder: "Your eldest prince once said that my brother and I could remain neutral and not get involved in any disputes."

Please inform Crown Prince Mo Qilin that we appreciate his kindness, but it is inconvenient for us to go.

"presumptuous!"

The two qilin roared simultaneously, their voices shaking the clouds. The qilin that had spoken first revealed a fierce glint in its eyes: "The Crown Prince's invitation is an honor for you!"

How dare you refuse!

Before the words were finished, two streams of Taiyi energy, mixed with the heavy earth energy of the Earth Qilin clan, pressed down on the three of them like mountains.

The atmosphere around them froze instantly.

Fuxi's face darkened, and he was about to speak.

Guiyuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward, his gaze calmly sweeping over the two Qilin, and spoke softly:

"They don't want to, can't they understand?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like a cold spring, instantly piercing the heavy atmosphere.

The oppressive aura emanating from the two qilins vanished silently as they touched him, like ice and snow melting away.

Although the two Qilins sensed the immense aura emanating from Guiyuan, which belonged to the peak of the Taiyi realm, they showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, they raised their heads and coldly shouted:

"What, you dare to challenge my Qilin clan? The Black Qilin Crown Prince is the chosen one, destined to wield the power of the Qilin lineage in the future..."

Gui Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, said no more, and revealed not a trace of killing intent.

In the blink of an eye.

The two black Qilin didn't even react before Guiyuan instantly summoned the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag.

A dark, shimmering light appeared as the illusory image of the Northern Sea rolled down, completely enveloping and isolating the surrounding area for tens of thousands of miles.

At the same time, mysterious and unpredictable "Great Karma Technique" runes were unleashed, disrupting the secrets of heaven and obscuring destiny.

Fuxi's expression changed slightly upon seeing this, and he was about to speak to stop her. Nuwa, however, reached out and grabbed his sleeve, her voice swift and calm:

"Elder brother, this matter can no longer be resolved peacefully. Whether we go or not, going will only drag us into the quagmire of the three clans?"

Not going would also offend the Qilin clan, both of which would be troublesome.

Fuxi paused, then fell silent.

He knew that Nuwa's words were true; the Qilin clan was powerful and could no longer be reasoned with.

Moreover, this is not the first time. The Qilin can still reason, as long as Fuxi and Nuwa do not join the Dragon Clan and Phoenix Clan.

He bluntly said he could stay at Phoenix Perch Mountain, but not long after, the Ink Qilin came again.

This likely involves more than just a conflict between the three races; it may also involve a struggle for internal destiny.

Within the great formation, the light flickered violently, and faint energy fluctuations of the Qilin's angry roar and struggle could be heard, but it quickly returned to deathly silence.

Just a moment later.

The Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag was retrieved, and the dark light dissipated. A clear breeze and bright sun shone where it stood; there was no trace of the two Qilin statues.

It left not even a trace of its presence, as if it had never existed.

Guiyuan turned around and looked at Fuxi and Nuwa: "It seems that the matter of discussing the Dao at Phoenix Perch Mountain should be postponed for now."

"Although the cause and effect have been severed and the heavenly secrets have been disturbed, the two Taiyi Qilin have not returned for a long time. Mo Qilin will surely become suspicious and will definitely come to Fengqi Mountain to investigate."

Fellow Daoists, why don't you join me for a journey to the summit of Mount Buzhou? The journey is ten thousand miles long, perfect for discussing the Dao."

Fuxi looked towards Phoenix Perch Mountain, sighed inwardly, and nodded: "I will do as you say, fellow Daoist."

Nuwa had no objection.

The three immediately turned around, no longer looking at Phoenix Perch Mountain, and headed straight for the towering, ancient ridge.

along the way.

Guiyuan discussed the Dao with Fuxi and Nuwa, and occasionally mentioned the profound mysteries of the Great Dao of the Eternal World during their conversations.

Those profound ideas often amazed Fuxi and impressed Nuwa, who both felt they had benefited greatly.

Fuxi sighed, "Fellow Daoist Guiyuan's understanding of the Great Dao has already formed its own unique system. I'm afraid he has already found his own path to the Great Luo."

At the same time, Guiyuan divided his mind and spirit, secretly refining the innate spiritual treasure, the Human Essence Pearl, which he had obtained from the valley.

As the restrictions were broken one by one, his control over the pearl gradually deepened, and he was able to begin to unleash its power.

With a slight thought, he took out the well-preserved corpse of the black Qilin that he had previously stored in the tower and put it into the Human Essence Pearl.

In an instant, the pearl trembled slightly, and a dim yellow light flowed around it.

The Qilin's corpse quickly dissolved, transforming into pure essence.

Fragments of the heavy and powerful Earth element law.

As it was continuously absorbed by Guiyuan, in an instant, Guiyuan's understanding of the laws of earth had already reached the Taiyi level.

Along with the fragments of the laws, there is also a unique aura that conveys a sense of peace and auspiciousness.

The "auspicious energy" was extracted from the precious pearl and clearly reflected in the Guiyuan sea of ​​consciousness.

This surprised Guiyuan. This auspicious energy was quite interesting. It could protect the true spirit and could also be used to consume it, allowing him to achieve "wish fulfillment" for a period of time.

"I see. To obliterate the energy of all living beings and obtain their original supernatural powers—this is the wondrous use of the Human Essence Pearl."

Guiyuan understood this clearly in his heart.

He suddenly recalled his initial hesitation in acquiring this treasure, as well as the legend of Nuwa creating humans from clay in later generations.

A thought flashed through his mind like lightning: "Could it be that this bead's destiny was originally meant for Nuwa?"
