Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

Chapter 107, Part 3: The Division of the Family and the Ownership of Kunlun

The primordial wilderness, Kunlun.

After flying for a long time, Ling Dan once again set foot on the Kunlun territory.

Feeling the familiar atmosphere and the familiar Taoist rhythm, a few emotions welled up within me.

Today, outside Kunlun, the three trial formations still remain, and many cultivators and rogue cultivators venture into them, hoping to pass the test.

Ling Dan observed for a moment with her divine sense, then instantly flew into the mountain gate.

The Kui Niu clan and the Crane clan, who guarded the mountain gate, also knelt down in respect when they saw Ling Dan.

Upon entering the blessed land and sensing Ling Dan's aura, Ling Xi exclaimed with delight, "Senior Brother..."

Ling Dan nodded, looking at Ling Xi now, whose profound aura definitely indicated a significant increase in cultivation.

Duobao also came after inquiring, and his cultivation level has improved a lot, and his aura has become more profound.

Besides, the disciples from the three sects he had previously accepted—Guang Chengzi, Wudang, Jinling… and many disciples from the Chan and Jie sects—now all looked at Ling Dan with respect and called him Senior Brother.

Ling Dan remained calm, a faint smile radiating an air of authority: "From joining the sect until now, you have achieved such cultivation; that is quite impressive. You must continue to cultivate diligently and not tarnish the reputation of the three religions."

"We will follow the teachings of our senior brother." The disciples of the three religions said respectfully in unison.

Although Ling Dan has been away from Kunlun for a long time, the legend of Ling Dan still circulates in Kunlun.

In particular, Ling Dan's cultivation methods were spread by Duo Bao and the other disciples, so many disciples were aware of Ling Dan's power.

Moreover, Ling Xi, who was in charge of teaching them supernatural abilities, and Duo Bao both treated Ling Dan with the utmost respect.

Ling Dan nodded, flicked his sleeve, and some resources he had gathered during his travels fell before his disciples: "These are some resources I gathered while traveling through the prehistoric world. I give them to you, hoping you will become stronger."

"Thank you, Senior Brother." The disciples shouted as they looked at the resources.

Ling Dan chuckled and flew towards the Kunlun Grand Hall. Ling Dan could sense her master's presence.

As Ling Dan entered the main hall, the overwhelming Daoist aura caused him to subconsciously evolve his own Dao to resist it. In the end, the Daoist auras merged and dissolved into one another.

"Haha... Little Ling Dan, it's been many years. Your cultivation has become even more refined. You're not far from the Primordial Chaos Realm." Tongtian looked at Ling Dan and stroked his beard with a smile.

"Uncle-Master is joking. My cultivation is ultimately insufficient." Ling Dan was well aware of her situation. Although her cultivation seemed formidable, she was still far from reaching the Primordial Chaos Realm.

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard and sighed, "Ling Dan... you don't need to be modest. With your current cultivation, you are among the best in the half-step Hunyuan realm. Compared to the Hunyuan realm, you only lack a little foundation."

"Master Yuanshi... it's just that his limited resources are giving me a headache. After all, with my background, it's difficult for me to accumulate any resources." Ling Dan also said with a hint of bitterness.

Lao Tzu stroked his beard, knowing his disciple's dilemma, and said, "The primordial world is vast, hiding endless opportunities. The Great Dao is infinite, containing countless miracles. Cultivate slowly, and you will eventually have your chance."

Ling Dan nodded in agreement with the words of comfort: "Master is right. However, what are your instructions for returning this time?"

Laozi stroked his beard and said, "Disciple... the reason I sent you back to Kunlun this time is also for the matter of dividing the family."

"A family split?" Ling Dan's eyes flickered, expressing her incomprehension at this sudden news.

Ling Dan knew that the Three Pure Ones would mention the division of their family in the future.

Over the years, Ling Dan had received instruction from the Three Pure Ones and knew very well that their relationship was excellent and there was no conflict whatsoever. Why bring up the matter of separating the family now?

"Master... what exactly is this family division you mentioned...?" Ling Dan looked at her master and her uncle, hesitating to speak.

Laozi remained silent for a moment, then pondered: "The separation I spoke of naturally refers to my separation from your two senior uncles."

"Why? Master and Uncle are brothers and have a good relationship. Why do they have to separate? Could it be that Master and Uncle have some kind of conflict?" Ling Dan asked, puzzled.

"Conflicts? Little Lingdan... We brothers have gone through countless years and hardships since we took human form, and countless conflicts have arisen. But no matter how big the conflict is, it can hardly affect our brotherhood." Tongtian said righteously, with a smile and an air of authority.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable stroked his beard, a hint of emotion in his voice: "Ling Dan... you don't need to overthink it. This separation was a last resort. Since we entered the Primordial Chaos Realm, the Dao aura we generate has gradually undergone a qualitative change. This then feeds back into the Kunlun Blessed Land, causing our Dao imprints to intertwine within the blessed land, merging with our auras. However, the Dao imprints of three Primordial Chaos Realm beings intertwined within the Kunlun Blessed Land are too much for it to bear."

Furthermore, the Great Daos cultivated by us brothers are ultimately different and difficult to integrate. Therefore, when the imprints of our respective Great Daos merge into Kunlun Blessed Land, there will inevitably be clashes, thus damaging Kunlun Blessed Land. Therefore, our continued stay in Kunlun Blessed Land, using it as our training ground, is destined to cause the destruction of Kunlun Blessed Land.

"I see... Emotions are too much for a dojo to bear, so in the end, they can only separate." Upon hearing this, Ling Dan's eyes flickered, and she began to ponder.

Ling Dan also understood that the cultivation ground chosen by each powerful being would gradually imprint their aura and the Great Dao they cultivated as they cultivated. Over time, the blessed land would merge with the powerful being's aura, thus empowering them.

This is why many powerful figures possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary people even when they are in their own dojos. Ling Dan was the same way back then; with the blessing of the Kunlun Dojo, he directly blasted Taiyi, who was wielding the Chaos Bell, away.

Kunlun Blessed Land, as one of the few blessed lands in the primordial world, is capable of bearing the Dao of three Primordial Chaos experts. However, it is unable to bear the conflict between the Daos of these three Primordial Chaos experts.

Ling Dan pondered for a moment, then asked in return, "Master, Uncle-Master... does this division only involve the Daoist temples? Will the interconnected fortunes of the three religions, and the interconnected fortunes of you yourselves, remain unchanged?"

"No! This division is not just about splitting up the temples. The fortunes of the three religions will also be divided, and our own fortunes will be divided as well," Laozi sighed, remaining silent for a moment before speaking.

Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard, a hint of silence in his voice: "Alas... ever since we entered the Primordial Chaos Realm, the Great Dao we cultivate has gradually imprinted itself on everything within us. Our fortunes have also been imprinted on the Great Dao we cultivate. Therefore, our fortunes are intertwined, and the imprints of our Great Daos meet with each other, colliding and interfering with one another. This is a drain on our fortunes and also affects our comprehension of the Great Dao. Therefore, the division of our fortunes is inevitable."

"Is it another Great Dao Imprint? It seems that achieving the Primordial Chaos Realm also brings many inconveniences. But why is the fortune of the Three Religions also being divided?" Ling Dan asked again.

Tongtian said upon hearing this, "The reason why the fortunes of the three religions are divided is also to better repay the karmic debts of Heaven. Ling Dan... you also know that the core of the birth and inheritance of the three religions is to repay the karmic debts of Heaven."

However, the three religions have different doctrines and lineages, therefore their methods of repaying karmic debts also differ. Consequently, even when the fortunes of the three religions are intertwined, it will more or less influence their followers to act in ways inconsistent with their own sect's doctrines, thus affecting the repayment of karmic debts. Therefore, the best solution is to separate the fortunes of the three religions, allowing their followers to follow their own sect's doctrines and cultivate accordingly to repay the karmic debts owed by Heaven.

After the Three Pure Ones explained, Ling Dan understood why the Three Pure Ones had to split up.

This separation was out of necessity.

At this moment, inside the main hall,

A will converged, gradually intertwined, and transformed into an ethereal old man.

The old man's wrinkles, interwoven and overlapping, looked like the bark of a tree tens of thousands of years old. He spoke with reverence: "Kunlun Blessed Land greets all the esteemed gentlemen."

"Kunlun Blessed Land?" Ling Dan looked at the old man, feeling a sense of familiarity mixed with confusion.

The old man smiled kindly: "Young Master Ling Dan... I am the embodiment of the will of Kunlun Blessed Land. I am grateful for your care back then, otherwise I might have perished under the Chaos Bell."

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan seemed to remember something: "No need for thanks. Kunlun Blessed Land is my home, and I will certainly protect it."

The old man nodded, then turned to the Three Pure Ones: "Lord Taiqing, Lord Yuqing, Lord Shangqing... you were born here, attained enlightenment here, and share this place. So I have no objection to how it is divided. However, Young Master Lingdan was also born here, grew up here, and once resisted the Chaos Bell to protect this place, so he also has the right to inherit."

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan was dumbfounded. How could she also have inheritance rights to the Kunlun Blessed Land?

Laozi stroked his beard, pondering for a moment: "Second brother, third brother... we were born in Kunlun Blessed Land, grew up together, and cultivated together. Logically speaking, we should share Kunlun Blessed Land equally. However, as the eldest brother, I don't want this Kunlun Blessed Land. You two can divide it among yourselves."

"Brother...you can't say that. You are the eldest brother, and you are the most qualified to inherit Kunlun Blessed Land. Moreover, Ling Dan is your first disciple. He protected Kunlun Blessed Land before and also obtained the right to inherit Kunlun. All of you in this lineage are ultimately qualified to inherit Kunlun Blessed Land." Yuanshi Tianzun said seriously.

Tongtian replied calmly, "That's true. Besides, my second brother had the foresight to leave the Pangu Banner to protect Kunlun. So both my eldest and second brothers have a greater right to inherit than I do. Therefore, I withdrew from the division of the Kunlun Blessed Land."

The three Pure Ones conversed amongst themselves, while Ling Dan remained silent. After all, this concerned the inheritance of the Kunlun Blessed Land, and Ling Dan couldn't interfere. Even if Ling Dan also had the right to inherit, she couldn't speak recklessly. The Kunlun Blessed Land was, after all, one of the most precious blessed lands in the primordial world. In terms of value, it far surpassed countless treasures.

After all, a good blessed land can suppress bad luck, enhance cultivation, and empower oneself...

It can be said that acquiring a blessed land and transforming it into one's own domain brings numerous benefits. This is why a blessed land is extremely valuable. This is also why Di Jun was willing to offer a supreme innate treasure in exchange for Ling Dan and the Four Heavens occupied by the Three Pure Ones.

In the numerous discussions among the Three Pure Ones, everyone showed humility and deference.

Tongtian looked at Ling Dan and said, "Eldest brother, second brother... we're being too polite to each other, as if whoever gets the Kunlun Blessed Land will feel uncomfortable. Why not hand it over to Ling Dan? We've watched this child grow up, and he's inherited everything from the three of us brothers. He's also a direct descendant of the Xuanmen... I feel at ease entrusting him to Ling Dan."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded silently: "That's good, I agree."

Laozi stroked his beard in thought, remaining silent for a moment: "Since that's the case... I'll also pass on my inheritance to Ling Dan. In this way, handing over Kunlun Blessed Land to Ling Dan will also serve as his graduation ceremony from the Xuanmen sect."

Years later, Ling Dan, filled with mixed emotions and as if in a dream, became the ruler of Dongkunlun.

The vast Kunlun Blessed Land belongs entirely to Ling Dan.

Neither Laozi, nor Yuanshi Tianzun, nor Tongtian chose to inherit Kunlun; instead, they gave it to Lingdan.

Ling Dan wanted to refuse, but in the end she was forced to accept it.

"Haha... This is a win-win situation. Kunlun Blessed Land is now in Ling Dan's hands. The remaining resources will be much easier to allocate." Tongtian laughed heartily, quite calmly.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded: "The remaining spiritual roots, spiritual treasures, and special resources bestowed by our master can be divided equally among the three of us brothers."
