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

The heavens, the realm of demons.

Now, within the Demon Court, Bai Ze has come to report.

"Your Majesty... This time, I went to the land to recruit races according to the list. Ninety percent of the races chose to join the demon race. However, the Qingqiu fox race is protected by the goddess Nuwa, so I didn't say much. In addition, the Fighting Holy Ape race, which Your Majesty ordered, was unwilling to join the demon race and eventually fled to the Kunlun lands, choosing to submit to Ling Dan." Bai Ze slowly recounted, conveying a lot of information.

Di Jun gazed at the list, observing the various races that had chosen to join: "Well done. The Qingqiu Fox Clan is fine; they are ultimately a race protected by Fellow Daoist Nuwa. If they don't want to join the demon race, then let them be. However, why did the Fighting Saint Ape Clan choose to join Kunlun? Are the Three Pure Ones planning something?"

"Your Majesty... I went to Kunlun, but I didn't encounter the Three Pure Ones. I only met Ling Dan, and after talking with him, I learned that in recent years, Ling Dan has recruited many races. In addition, many powerful beings in the prehistoric world have also taken the opportunity to subdue many races. For example, Senior Zhen Yuanzi took in the Eastern Spirit Clan..." Bai Ze also said.

Taiyi's eyes flickered: "It seems that many powerful beings in the primordial world are eager to take advantage of this opportunity."

Many demon emperors discussed the prehistoric races' tendency to defect, a situation they could only helplessly accept.

"Given the decline of many races in the primordial world, it is only natural that they would choose to seek refuge with some powerful beings. And it is also reasonable for many powerful beings to take the opportunity to accept the loyalty of some races." Kunpeng was quite calm.

Fuxi nodded in agreement: "Indeed... There are countless races in the primordial world, and it's difficult for our demon race to subdue them all. So it's not a problem for these powerful beings to take in some races. Just don't go too far."

Taiyi pondered for a moment and said, "That's true, but I'm afraid some ambitious people will emerge. After all, my elder brother cultivates the Great Dao of Order and wants to create the Primordial Order. Perhaps some of these powerful beings have similar ideas."

"That's true. Should we then target these powerful beings?" a demon emperor asked.

"Let's wait and see," Di Jun suddenly said, then added, "Order your subordinates to quickly subdue the various races. Also, observe what these powerful beings are up to. If they only subdue a few races, that's fine. But if they subdue too many, we cannot stand idly by."

Taiyi nodded, his eyes flickering, and then said, "Brother... could we use this matter to test the Three Pure Ones? Speaking of which, of the thirty-three heavens that our demon race occupies, there are ultimately four heavens that do not belong to us."

These words silenced many demon emperors.

Unfortunately, the name "Thirty-Three Heavens" has gradually been forgotten by all living beings and has become known as the Demon Court. Nowadays, many powerful beings also refer to the Thirty-Three Heavens as the Demon Court.

However, within this Demon Court lies the Fourth Heaven, which is not theirs. This is a thorn in the side of many demons.

Di Jun didn't say much, remaining silent for a moment before saying, "Let's take a look first."

Taiyi nodded without saying anything more.

Ling Dan was not very clear about the changes within the Demon Court.

Looking at the many races he had taken in, Ling Dan finally said, "Unknowingly, I have taken in one hundred and eight races, which does conform to the number of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. Immortal Elder... if any other races come to pay their respects, I will not see them."

"Yes, young master Ling Dan. But what if there are races similar to the Fighting Saint Ape?" the Antarctic Immortal couldn't help but ask.

"No, there won't be any. Whether it's the demon race or other powerful beings, they will first subdue the races with strong potential. Therefore, the powerful races in the prehistoric world have long been divided up. If there are any remnants, they will have no chance to survive," Ling Dan said.

"Okay. I'll go arrange it right away." The Old Man of the South Pole then withdrew.

Ling Dan's eyes flickered, then she turned to Ling Xi: "Ling Xi, I will go into seclusion later to study the classics of various races and create cultivation methods that suit them. You will be responsible for teaching them to the various races."

Ling Xi didn't refute, but merely asked curiously, "I understand. But why treat all races so favorably?"

"You'll find out why I'm being given preferential treatment later," Ling Dan said, prompting Ling Xi to agree.

Ling Dan knew very well that the three religions would soon be established.

By then, the three sects should have some foundation, right? Could it be that after their founding, they'll still only have a few disciples?

Therefore, it would be good to find some races under the three religions to serve as a foundation. In addition, if one really wants to recruit disciples of the three religions, one can also choose from these races.

After all, when Ling Dan recalled the disciples of the three religions from her memories, she felt they weren't very good. Xuan Du, a disciple of the Human Religion, was alright. The twelve disciples of the Chan Religion also lacked character, with only a few capable of achieving anything.

The Jie Sect appears to have a gathering of immortals, but it actually has a much larger rabble. Only a few are worth watching; the rest are just a burden.

Therefore, Ling Dan also needs to make some preparations in advance for the future of the three religions.

Of course, Ling Dan was also observing the inheritances of various races and making preparations for achieving Hunyuan status.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Dan turned and walked into the secluded cultivation area, preparing to meditate and comprehend the cultivation method.

Inside the secluded retreat, Ling Dan was in a state of deep meditation.

The first thing he comprehended was the Battle Scripture.

It must be said that the Fighting Saint Ape truly deserves to be called one of the best among the Purple Cloud Guests.

Their race truly deserves to be one of the few in the primordial world capable of waging war against the Ancestral Witches.

Absorb the fighting spirit and transform it into the Great Dao of War to temper the physical body.

This is equivalent to tempering the body by relying on the Great Dao.

In addition, tempering the soul and tempering the origin are also forms of tempering the Great Dao. This is similar to the cultivation method of the Witch Clan. The Witch Clan's bloodline propagates the Great Dao, and the stronger their physical body, the more Great Dao they can bear. The Fighting Saint Ape Clan, on the other hand, transforms the Great Dao of Battle to temper their physical body, becoming stronger step by step.

Ling Dan was impressed by the profoundness of this method and then continued to study other wonderful methods.

"The Green Ox Clan inherits the Mighty Bull Demon Scripture, which originates from the Great Dao of Strength..."

"The Kui Niu clan inherits the Roaring Scripture, which originated from the Roaring Great Dao..."

"The Shadow Tiger Clan inherits the Shadow Tiger Scripture, which is derived from the Great Dao of Shadow..."

……

Comprehending the inherited methods of various races led Ling Dan into deep thought.

Ling Dan used to think that the patriarchs of the great clans, the veteran experts, and Zi Xiaoke in the prehistoric world, after so many years of hard work, should have created their own methods of proving the Dao.

For example, Di Jun created the law of order. Fu Xi created the law of wisdom, and Kunpeng created the law of demonic script...

Who would have thought that, after reading numerous ancient texts, it becomes clear that among the great beings of the primordial era, very few actually created methods for attaining enlightenment. Most were unfinished methods, or merely figments of imagination, lacking concrete cultivation techniques.

In addition, many methods of attaining enlightenment are not realistic and offer no hope of achieving the state of Hunyuan.

"Perhaps they just haven't found it yet. After all, even if a method of attaining enlightenment is imperfect and there are no successful examples of it, it is still the most precious cultivation method in the primordial world. I guess many races would keep such a cultivation method hidden away. If we search slowly, we should find it."

Thinking of this, Ling Dan once again fell into deep contemplation.

……

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed.

Over the years, the situation in the primordial world has remained unchanged, still characterized by the demon race absorbing other races and the witch race plundering other races.

Under these circumstances, countless races have suffered.

At the same time, countless ancient texts from various races were also sent to Ling Dan.

After all, the various tribal classics, supernatural powers, and resources... were of little use to the Wu tribe. Therefore, they thought of their son-in-law, Ling Dan, and sent Hou Yi to deliver many classic texts to him.

Ling Dan was also pleased with this. He studied the classics of various races, comprehended the wisdom of all living beings, and obtained what he desired. He then evolved his own method of accumulation.

Now, looking at the numerous ancient texts, Ling Dan finally said, "We can make a classification among the texts of various races. These include complete cultivation systems and texts on breaking through to the Primordial Chaos Realm, making them arguably the most comprehensive cultivation texts in the current prehistoric world. Cultivating using these texts allows one to progress step-by-step to the Half-Step Primordial Chaos Realm. However, whether one can break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm remains uncertain. After all, without practical experience and a successful method of proving one's Dao, it's ultimately difficult to guarantee anything."

Secondly, there are cultivation methods that allow cultivators to break through to the half-step Hunyuan realm. These methods enable cultivators to achieve the half-step Hunyuan realm, but they lack details on how to actually enter the Hunyuan realm, making them relatively incomplete.

Then there are methods for breaking through to the Dao Fruit, enabling cultivators to break free from the constraints of the Dao Fruit and reach the level of severing the Three Corpses, or in other words, the Great Perfection of Quasi-Saint.

Ling Dan studied countless ancient texts and felt the wisdom contained within them.

It also has a profound understanding of all living beings in the primordial world.

"Speaking of which, my philosophy of enlightenment has long been perfected. Now it's just a matter of transforming this philosophy into a concrete method," Ling Dan said.

Indeed, Ling Dan was well aware that her philosophy of enlightenment had been born long ago in the Purple Cloud Palace.

Ling Dan's philosophy is to "use heaven and earth as a furnace, all living beings as firewood, and all things as nourishment" to forge himself into a Hunyuan Pill.

Unfortunately, an idea is just an idea. How to turn that idea into reality is something Ling Dan needs to create slowly.

Over the years, Ling Dan has studied countless classic texts and gradually transformed his ideas into reality.

……

This day.

The fluctuations in Qi caused Ling Dan, who was cultivating, to stop.

Ling Dan's eyes changed, and she stood up and walked out of the secluded cultivation area.

"Ling Xi, what major event has occurred that made you rely on your destiny to awaken me?" Ling Dan asked, puzzled.

During these years of seclusion, Ling Xi and the others naturally did not disturb Ling Dan.

Who knew that Ling Xi would now use his luck to communicate and make Ling Dan quickly emerge from seclusion.

Ling Xi's face turned pale, and a look of seriousness appeared on his face: "Senior brother... Demon Emperor Taiyi has arrived."

"Donghuang Taiyi of the demon race? What is he doing in Kunlun?" Ling Dan was also puzzled and wary of the demon race's actions.

"I don't know. Maybe they came here because of racial reasons." Ling Xi was also worried.

"It's alright. Nowadays, all the powerful beings in the primordial world have recruited a few races to some extent. It's a trivial matter for me, representing Kunlun, to accept 108 races. If the demon race really comes looking for trouble over such a small matter, then that would be too petty. Besides, the demon race is powerful now, so we have nothing to fear from them." Ling Dan was very confident.

Ling Dan is steady and cautious in her actions. When she was trying to win over the various races, she realized that it would attract the demon race.

However, in the primordial world, many powerful beings took in various races. Some even took in hundreds of races.

Ling Dan took in 108 people, and the demon race is already causing trouble. That just goes to show how far the demon race has gone.

Furthermore, no matter how strong the demon race is, Ling Dan is not afraid.

Ling Dan didn't think much of it and led Ling Xi towards the Kunlun Hall.
