Primordial Era: I, Zhao Gongming, refuse to be an experience pack.

The barrier of the early stage of the Golden Immortal realm was as fragile as a thin sheet of paper in the face of this power, easily washed away and shaken, and there were faint signs that a breakthrough was imminent.

"So... this is the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art...?"

Zhao Gongming slowly opened his eyes, feeling the transformative changes within his body, and a tremendous wave of emotion surged within him.

He finally understood that this was his greatest reliance for securing his future and defying fate! What Shangqing Immortal Techniques were nothing compared to this technique, like fireflies vying for the moon's brilliance!

He glanced at the system panel; he had 800 Harmony Points remaining. He decided not to use them further, but to keep them as a backup for unforeseen circumstances.

The most urgent task is to quickly familiarize myself with the new technique and completely control this surge in power.

However, just as he had mastered his cultivation technique, three familiar and welcoming auras emanated from outside his cave.

Zhao Gongming had a sudden thought, removed the restrictions on the cave, and got up to greet him.

Three stunningly beautiful female immortals, each with graceful bearing and ethereal charm, were approaching together. They were his three junior sisters: Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao.

"Greetings, my three junior sisters." Zhao Gongming smiled sincerely and bowed.

"Senior Brother!" Bixiao, being the most lively of them all, immediately ran up to Zhao Gongming with a grin upon seeing him emerge from seclusion. "We heard that you displayed your great prowess a while ago, defeating Senior Brother Xiongshan in a single move. Today, we sensed a violent fluctuation in your aura from your cave, so we came to see you. Senior Brother, you've... broken through again?"

Qiongxiao also looked at Zhao Gongming with curiosity, her beautiful eyes full of surprise.

Only Yunxiao, whose cultivation was the highest, frowned slightly, seeing things more deeply. At this moment, although Zhao Gongming's aura was restrained, the occasional glimpse of Daoist charm he revealed made her feel a strange palpitation. It was an aura that was far more ancient and profound than the Shangqing Immortal Technique.

"My meager skills are nothing to boast about, my three junior sisters." Zhao Gongming welcomed the three into the cave, seated them according to their status as host and guests, and personally poured them spiritual tea. "May I ask what brings you three junior sisters here today?"

Yunxiao picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and looked earnestly at Zhao Gongming with her cool eyes: "Senior Brother, we sisters have come here for two reasons, firstly to congratulate you, and secondly... out of curiosity. Your progress is truly unprecedented in my life. I wonder if you have received some extraordinary opportunity?"

Faced with the sincere gazes of the Three Immortals, Zhao Gongming felt a warmth in his heart. He naturally wouldn't reveal the secret of the system. After pondering for a moment, he said, half-truthfully, "To be honest, Junior Sister, some time ago I went out to travel on the island and luckily stumbled into a secret realm left behind by ancient gods and demons. There I obtained a fragmented body-refining technique, which is how I managed to make some progress."

He attributed his newly created cultivation technique to an ancient opportunity, which is the best and most common explanation in the prehistoric world.

"I see!" Bixiao exclaimed in sudden realization, clapping her hands and laughing, "I knew it! Senior Brother must be a person of great fortune!"

Yunxiao, however, seemed lost in thought. She knew that an incomplete cultivation technique could not possibly bring about such a drastic change, and Zhao Gongming must have even deeper secrets. But being exceptionally intelligent, seeing that Zhao Gongming was unwilling to say more, she did not press him further. Instead, she changed the subject and began to exchange cultivation insights with him.

Zhao Gongming was grateful for Yunxiao's thoughtfulness and also intended to cultivate a good relationship with his three junior sisters. He inadvertently revealed some superficial insights about the Great Dao from the "Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art," packaged them with the theories of the Shangqing Immortal Method.

Although these insights were only the tip of the iceberg, their lofty ideals and unique perspectives instantly captivated the three immortals, especially Yunxiao, who was in the late stage of the Golden Immortal realm. Many of the bottlenecks that had troubled her for years showed signs of loosening.

After their discussion, the Three Immortals of Sanxiao were completely in awe of Zhao Gongming. They also shared their cultivation experiences and their views on the current situation in the prehistoric world without reservation.

Through their conversation, Zhao Gongming's relationship with the Three Immortals of Sanxiao grew increasingly close and harmonious. Looking at his three smiling junior sisters, he secretly vowed that in the future Investiture of the Gods, he would protect them no matter what, and would never let them repeat the fate of dying and being suppressed under Qilin Cliff in the original story!

Before parting, Yunxiao took out a warm, smooth white jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to Zhao Gongming.

Auspicious clouds swirl around the jade pendant, and celestial light appears and disappears.

"Senior brother, this is the 'Cloud Soaring Pendant' that I crafted with my own life force. Wear it close to your body. If you encounter danger, you can activate this pendant, which can block a full-force attack from a late-stage Golden Immortal." Yunxiao said solemnly, "Although senior brother has great supernatural powers, the primordial world is dangerous, so you still need to be careful."

Zhao Gongming was startled. He took the jade pendant and felt a warm current flow through his heart.

This is not just a protective artifact, but also a token of Yunxiao's sincere heart.

"Thank you for your kindness, Junior Sister! I will remember this kindness!" He solemnly put away the jade pendant and bowed deeply to the Three Immortals.

After bidding farewell to the Three Immortals, Zhao Gongming turned and returned to his cave. The warm jade pendant in his palm seemed to still retain the warmth of Yunxiao's body and a faint fragrance. He felt a surge of emotion; in this cold and cruel prehistoric world, this sincere care from his fellow disciples was a rare warmth on his journey.

He put the Cloud Pendant close to his body, and the wisps of immortal power merged with his own magical power, bringing him a sense of peace.

Back in his quiet room, Zhao Gongming sat cross-legged, not immediately attempting to break through to a higher realm. He first calmed his mind and focused his spirit, repeatedly analyzing and reflecting on what he had learned from discussing Dao with the Three Immortals and the various mysteries of the first stage of the Nine Revolutions Chaos Divine Art in his mind.

The path of spiritual practice requires a balance of tension and relaxation. Blindly arduous practice is not as effective as a sudden enlightenment.

He sat there in this solitude for over a month, and his aura became increasingly deep and serene, like a chaotic, unadorned stone, no longer displaying the sharp edge he had when he first mastered his divine skills.

He had completely tamed that surging power, making it a part of himself, as easy as using his own arm.

Until this day, when the first wisp of purple mist came from the east, pierced through the restrictions of Luofu Cave, and fell on him, Zhao Gongming's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!

In his eyes, a chaotic light flashed and disappeared, like the first divine light at the beginning of creation.

"The time has come!"

He murmured to himself, his voice not loud, but with a resolute determination.

Having reached the peak of the early Golden Immortal stage, one's cultivation has been honed to perfection, with no possibility of further advancement. It is time to knock on the door to a higher level!

With a thought, he flicked his sleeve, and dozens of spirit stones and immortal jades, shimmering with various colors, flew out from his sleeve, landing with perfect precision in every corner of the quiet room, as if they were alive.

Immediately afterwards, he formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and runes formed from his magical power were injected into the spirit stones.
