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

Chapter 88 Five Saints Prove Hunyuan

Ling Dan asked again, "Then Master, Uncle-Master—when do you plan to attain enlightenment? And after attaining enlightenment, how will you repay the Heavenly Dao?"

"When we founded our sect, your master and your uncle were already at the Hunyuan realm. However, sensing that you were being bullied, we temporarily postponed our breakthrough to Hunyuan, became enemies with the demon race, and sought justice for you. This was also a warning to many powerful beings. After all, if we truly achieved the Hunyuan realm, we would inevitably incur a great karmic debt to the Heavenly Dao. At that time, we would be subject to the Heavenly Dao and unable to do many things."

Furthermore, after reaching the Primordial Chaos Realm, in order to repay the karmic debts owed to Heaven, we may have to do many things that we didn't want to do before. At that time, we will inevitably have to protect you in time.

In addition, stepping into the Primordial Chaos Realm and undergoing a transformation in one's mindset through the baptism of the Great Dao, results in an inner world containing only the Great Dao. Everything else seems like fleeting clouds. Or rather, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, witnessing the battles of the primordial world again is like children playing house; it's difficult to participate.

"Given this change, I'm allowing myself to indulge in this one moment of recklessness before I achieve Hunyuan. Once I do, everything will depend on you yourselves." Laozi sighed, looking at Ling Dan.

Ling Dan was deeply moved and filled with emotion, finally understanding her master's meaning. Once they reached the Primordial Chaos Realm, they would inevitably do many things against their own wishes in order to repay the karmic debts they had incurred.

Just like Nuwa, who created the human race but had no choice but to return it to the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, Laozi and his group will probably do something similar. And in the process, Ling Dan might suffer some grievances, but there's nothing we can do about it.

Beyond that, achieving the Primordial Chaos Realm involves a change in mindset. With a single-minded pursuit of the Great Dao, the struggles within the primordial world seem like child's play, their nature difficult to describe.

Or perhaps, Lao Tzu and his contemporaries were already at a different level. Therefore, they viewed the struggles among the lower classes as child's play and ignored them.

Ling Dan remained silent for a long time before finally nodding: "Master, Uncle-Master, rest assured, with my cultivation level, I will definitely do my best in everything from now on."

Upon hearing this, Lao Tzu was deeply moved.

Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian didn't say much, they just nodded.

Then, Ling Dan took the opportunity to chat with her master and her uncle.

We talked for a long time and I gave you a lot of pointers.

But in the end, it all faded into the passage of time.

Ling Dan's master and uncle returned to their familiar secluded cultivation place to recuperate and prepare for achieving the Hunyuan realm. Once they achieve the Hunyuan realm, their mindset will change, and the atmosphere may be very different now.

Ling Dan thought a lot, but in the end, it all turned into a sigh and silence.

Soon after, Ling Dan also chose to go into seclusion.

Ling Dan gained immensely from this great battle, using the techniques of "Transformation at Will" and "Great Dao Furnace" to test his various talents and supernatural abilities. Furthermore, he absorbed the Great Dao River and countless Dao Bones, refining them in the furnace to further advance his own abilities.

The greatest gain was the physical transformation I experienced during this journey.

The Creation Avatar, who knew Ling Dan's situation best, said: "The greatest gain in this battle was the transformation of your physical body. Your physical body evolved into a furnace of the Great Dao, sealing Taiyi and causing him to burn his faith, burn the Great Dao, burn everything, trying to break free. But he didn't know that the more he burned, the more he was tempered, the more his physical body was refined. The Chaos Bell Wave also vibrated, tempering your physical body. Especially the final Qi Luck Divine Power, which shattered your physical body, also allowed you to rise again after the destruction."

"I am aware of all this, but the losses this time are still considerable. All the avatars have perished. Many powerful artifacts have also been shattered." Ling Dan thought about the losses and realized that they were indeed quite substantial.

"These are all secondary. The Taiyi and Taiyuan origins allow you to draw upon the Great Sun. This alone is enough to compensate for this loss," the Creation Avatar said again.

Ling Dan thought it made sense, and with a flick of her sleeve, many powerful artifacts flew out. The many artifacts of creation from the Creation Avatar were now broken and shattered, suppressed by the Chaos Bell. The Thunder Scepter from the Thunder Avatar was also broken. The Purification White Lotus from the Purification Avatar remained relatively intact.

Repairing these damaged artifacts will require a great deal of time and resources. In addition, many of their incarnations have also perished.

After pondering for a moment, Ling Dan could only say, "Alright, let's digest the source energy we obtained earlier first, and then refine the avatar and the great weapon again—"

Thinking this, Ling Dan took the opportunity to sense the Great Dao furnace containing her physical body within her mind. Within that furnace was a golden crow, which was the golden crow transformed from the Primordial Origin.

This golden crow now has no intelligence or wisdom, only instinct, and is struggling to escape this place.

Ling Dan naturally wouldn't let him escape. The ignited flames of the Great Dao burned the scorching golden crow, refining its energy, the Dao essence—

At the same time, Ling Dan also put his great artifacts, the Heaven and Earth Furnace, the Myriad Scrolls Pavilion, and the Primordial Chaos Cauldron, into it, relying on the flames of this refining process to temper them.

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

For many years, the primordial world has been peaceful, seemingly without much conflict. The demon race has also been stable, never showing its face.

Kunlun is also quiet here.

The battle back then left a very direct impression on Ling Xi and Duo Bao. Especially knowing that their master was about to achieve the Hunyuan realm, and that many things would be difficult for them to handle, they needed cultivation.

They all diligently cultivated themselves, while Houtu had already returned to the Wu tribe.

Now, Ling Dan, in his silent cultivation, has completely refined the primordial essence of Taiyi. This essence has transformed into the blazing Great Sun True Fire, burning his physical body and making his Xuanhuang Undying Body even more powerful. Furthermore, it seems to have caused a transformation in Ling Dan's physical body.

His cultivation level has also grown significantly. His already vast foundation has now been greatly enhanced.

However, during Ling Dan's cultivation, fluctuations in her fortune awakened her.

Ling Dan's heart was filled with complex emotions, her expression shifting: "Has it finally arrived?"

Ling Dan knew very well what the fluctuations in fortune meant.

As Ling Dan emerged from her secluded cultivation place, Ling Xi and Duo Bao also sensed the fluctuations coming towards her.

Soon, the group arrived at a secluded place for cultivation.

"Senior brother—" Ling Xi looked at Ling Dan with a heavy heart, her eyes filled with worry.

Ling Dan's expression was complex, tinged with a hint of emotion: "What's meant to happen will happen. We should be happy that Master and Uncle are about to break through to the Primordial Realm."

As he said this, a vast aura instantly erupted from the Kunlun Mountains.

At that moment, the heavens shifted, and the Daoist aura surged. Purple energy stretched for miles, and rolling waves arose. Suddenly, Taiqing Laozi transformed into a beam of Daoist light and flew into the heavens: "Today, I, Taiqing Laozi, the leader of the Human Sect, go against the current and prove the Dao of Hunyuan."

These words caused a great stir, drawing the attention of all living beings. Countless slumbering powerful beings awoke, and countless strong cultivators were stirred.

Since Nuwa created humankind, she gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao, went against the current, and proved the Dao of Hunyuan.

Now, Lao Tzu once again declares that he will go against the current and begin to break through the primordial state.

Countless gazes intertwined, countless eyes converged, they looked at the Great Dao River, and at Taiqing Laozi who was about to go against the current.

Now, Laozi of Taiqing treads the heavens, stepping over the colorful clouds, stepping over the endless stars, stepping over the vast years—in just a few steps, he arrives at the edge of the long river, feeling the torrent flowing down the middle reaches.

Taiqing Laozi gazed at the vast torrent of the Great Dao, his Daoist robes fluttering, his entire body entwined with the Great Dao, exuding confidence and an aura that seemed to swallow the heavens and earth: "Second brother, third brother—"

The Daoist voice resounded and fell into the vast primordial wilderness, causing many powerful beings to wonder.

Unexpectedly, in the Kunlun Mountains, the Primordial Celestial Venerable transformed into a star, drawing upon endless years: "Elder brother—I have arrived. Today, I, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, establish the Chan Sect, expound the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and through this, ascend against the current to achieve Hunyuan."

"Haha—how could I be left out of such a thing? I, Tongtian of Shangqing, founded the Jie Sect, and through this, I went against the current to achieve Hunyuan." Tongtian also flew out, stepping on the past and present, and came to the long river.

At that moment, the three brothers were awe-inspiring. One was a figure interwoven with black and white, sweeping across the myriad paths of heaven and earth, condensing chaos. Another was a figure interwoven with countless stars throughout the ages, exuding majesty and confidence. The third condensed the ancient sword path, weathering countless years, cutting down all that was left behind.

Three brothers, all equally confident and invincible, looking down upon the past, present, and future, who can rival them?

Their invincible belief led them to gaze upon the vast torrent.

"Today, the three of us brothers will go against the current to seek the primordial chaos." Lao Tzu said, stepping out with endless vicissitudes and boundless power.

"Alright, let's follow our elder brother and achieve the Primordial Chaos!" The Primordial Heavenly Venerable said boldly, transforming stars and charging into the heavens.

"With my two elder brothers by my side, how could I not want to?" Tongtian shouted as well.

In an instant, the three charged into the long river and went upstream.

That torrent, flowing down from the middle reaches, contains the Great Way, it contains the years; even a single drop of water can sweep across the heavens.

Even a wisp of aura can reverse the passage of time. That terrifying torrent swept down, and even Dao Fruit cultivators who got close would be crushed by its aura.

Even a powerful expert who has severed the three corpses would feel danger if he got close to this place.

Only those at the half-step Hunyuan level can barely stand here. Going against the current is truly difficult.

Now, Lao Tzu steps into the torrent, the vast torrent sweeping across the land like countless powerful beings waging war.

However, Laozi remained silent, the Dao swirling around his body transforming into the most terrifying blade, cleaving the torrent. Even a small amount of the torrent passing over his body had little effect on him. Laozi's physical body was also terrifying; its pervasive aura made it difficult for the torrent to approach.

The stars surrounding the Primordial Celestial Venerable transformed into an endless sea of ​​stars, drawing in the torrents, causing the stars to shift and the torrents to flow backward, rushing into it.

Tongtian unleashed his sword technique, severing everything within his physical body, dividing the torrent, and propelling Tongtian forward.

The three brothers walked on foot, going against the current, crossing the great river, and seeking the primordial chaos.

This scene caused many powerful figures to gasp in astonishment and countless strong individuals to admire it.

"Well done, what a fine pair of brothers. Three brothers, going against the current together, proving the Dao of Hunyuan together. Regardless of whether they succeed this time, it will be a legendary tale of this era."

"Hiss, it's hard to believe. Whether it's Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, or Tongtian, their physical bodies are all so powerful. I thought that their Dao was powerful, but their physical bodies were not."

"The physical body is tempered by the Great Dao. In the primordial world, there are many methods for tempering the physical body, but no matter how they evolve, the core is tempering the body with the Great Dao. The Three Pure Ones may seem not to have cultivated any body-refining methods, but the Great Dao they comprehend and the tempering of their physical bodies are enough to make their physical bodies terrifying."

"I wonder if the three brothers will succeed?"

"What do you think? By establishing their sect, they have gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao. This means they have the foundation to achieve Hunyuan (primordial chaos)."

Many powerful beings murmured, and Lao Tzu and his companions had already stepped into the depths of the torrent.

The torrent of water is now even more terrifying. Every drop of water rushing down is filled with boundless Daoist energy, and the aura emanating from just one drop is enough to crush all the heavens throughout the ages.

Under the vast torrent, the Dao emanating from the physical body alone is no longer enough to withstand it.

At this moment, Lao Tzu raised his hand and unleashed his attack. The Great Dao converged, transforming into a giant handprint, entwining countless paths, transforming the Yin and Yang Daos, and condensing chaos: "Kill—"

With a solemn, low chant, intertwined chaotic hand seals were unleashed in a sweeping, devastating attack.

at the same time.

The great roads intertwined, radiating countless golden rays, like endless stars, scattering across the western land.

The guide spoke with compassion, care, and remembrance: "Today, I, the Guide of the West, a disciple of the Xuanmen, am deeply grateful to my teacher for granting me the Primordial Purple Qi. I also witness the founding of the Xuanmen sect and its responsibility to educate the primordial world."

Therefore, based on the West, a sect was established, named: the Western Religion. This religion emphasizes the equality of all beings, that all beings have affinity, and that all beings can cultivate—the Western Religion is established—

"Today, I, Zhunti of the West, a disciple of the Xuanmen sect, have received the Primordial Purple Qi through the grace of my teacher. Seeing the poverty in the West and the responsibility of my senior brother, I wish to join the Western Sect, become a member, and enlighten the beings of the West, so that the West may prosper."

The name "Zhunti" is also pronounced, and its influence spread throughout the primordial world.
