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

Good books are never stopped being updated, waiting for you to appreciate them.

In the instant of "boom," the Red Phoenix Daoist, who had just stepped into the dark river, transformed into a stream of dark light, flew out of the river, and became a Daoist sound, falling into the camp of those who blocked his way.

"No...why, why is there Hunyuan? I...I am not reconciled..." The final cry of the Red Phoenix Taoist turned into a fierce and desperate expression.

Hongluan Daoist stepped into the Dark River, but was instantly defeated and sent flying out of the river.

These changes instantly brought all living beings in the primordial world to a standstill, into a state of astonishment.

"This, this...this aura, this vastness, it seems to be the Primordial Chaos Realm!"

"As the one who blocked my path of cause and effect once said, if a powerful being reaches the Primordial Chaos Realm and dominates a section of the Great Dao, the resulting pressure from that Great Dao will dissipate over time. This will prevent later practitioners from knowing whether their chosen Great Dao has a Primordial Chaos expert. When they finally take the final step, they will find a Primordial Chaos expert standing before them..."

"What utter despair! To cultivate a great path, painstakingly prove one's worth, only to discover that the path one cultivates already has cultivators at the Primordial Chaos level. This..."

"What a pity about Daoist Hongluan. However, it turns out that a Primordial Chaos Realm is hidden within the primordial world. A Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator of the Dark Dao?"

"Hiss... The primordial world is terrifying; it actually hides such a terrifying cultivator."

The entire prehistoric world was in an uproar; the entire prehistoric world was so shocked by this news that it was hard to describe.

Many cultivators know that since its inception, the primordial world has gone through countless eras and ages. No one knows how many powerful figures have emerged during this process.

Among so many powerful individuals, no one knows whether there is a Hunyuan level expert.

But now, this scene in the Dark River makes all cultivators realize that within the primordial world, there are powerful beings of the Primordial Chaos realm, hiding great terror.

Ling Dan stared intently, then stood up: "The Primordial Chaos Realm of cultivating the Dark Dao? This is too well hidden; we had no idea who this ancient being was!"

"Incredible. The primordial world hides far too much. Perhaps what we know is only a tiny fraction of the primordial world." Ling Xi exclaimed in admiration.

Duobao shrank back, his voice filled with terror: "Senior brother... the prehistoric world is too dangerous. I feel Kunlun is safer. I don't want to go out..."

This scene was truly terrifying.

The entire prehistoric world was thrown into an uproar by this sudden news.

Inside the Demon Court, things were in an uproar.

Faced with an unknown and primordial realm, who could remain calm?

Within the long river, countless powerful beings also stirred, some filled with fear, some with awe, and some with longing...

A multitude of emotions intertwined, plunging the entire primordial world into turmoil.

Even though they knew that the Three Pure Ones had achieved Hunyuan, they didn't say much.

A hidden, dark primordial force has stirred up waves throughout the entire prehistoric world.

Now, Lao Tzu and his companions have returned from the Great Dao River and arrived at Kunlun.

As they returned, the purple aura stretched for billions of feet, true dragons soared into the sky, immortal phoenixes circled, and black tortoises paved the way... streaks of colorful clouds and auspicious omens transformed into the Great Dao, carrying them on their journey.

As they approached Kunlun, the blue ox, the four-legged beast, the Kui ox... one by one they flew out, revealing their true forms, carrying their masters.

Those three mounts were all at the Dao Fruit cultivation level.

Today, they bear the weight of three Hunyuan, which is also their glory.

Ling Dan stepped out of the mountain gate, her Daoist aura intertwined, transforming into endless flashes of light and extraordinary phenomena: "Disciple greets Master, greets Martial Uncle... Congratulations Master and Martial Uncle on achieving the Hunyuan realm..."

Laozi stroked his beard, looked at Ling Dan, and nodded: "Let's go, into Kunlun."

Yuanshi Tianzun said nothing more, and Tongtian, with a slight smile on his face, returned to Kunlun.

Ling Dan sensed that aura and followed it into the aura.

The Three Pure Ones returned to Kunlun, carrying with them the aura of the Primordial Chaos Realm and its vastness.

At the same time, Jieyin and Zhunti also returned.

Besides, none of the half-step Primordial Realm cultivators who wanted to take this opportunity to prove their Dao returned.

A single road, yet it buries countless bones.

In each era, only a handful of people achieve the state of Hunyuan. Moreover, they must face countless torments and hardships.

Now, the crowd is intertwined, sighing to each other, their hearts filled with sorrow.

Ling Dan was unaware of the sentiments of the primordial beings.

Now, Ling Dan looked at her master and felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

"Master, I have a feeling..."

"My disciple... before I attained enlightenment, I said that after achieving Hunyuan, the scenery I see is different, and my heart only carries the Great Dao, so it is inevitable that my temperament will change. In addition, we have deficiencies, which we rely on the Heavenly Dao to make up for, but this also brings about many changes. That's why these changes have occurred." Laozi spoke slowly, neither happy nor sad, unfathomable, which made Ling Dan feel heavy-hearted.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable also said, stroking his beard, "The changes are small now, but there may be more changes in the future. Little Lingdan... don't be too surprised in the future."

Tongtian sighed, "Even if Junior Sister Nuwa were to merge with the Heavenly Dao, there wouldn't be much change. The same goes for Jieyin and Zhunti; only we are left struggling. Alas..."

Tongtian sighed again, wondering what Ling Dan could say.

Although Laozi had informed Ling Dan of this change before he achieved Hunyuan.

But when you actually face that moment, the feeling of unfamiliarity and indifference is ultimately painful.

Ling Dan remained silent for a long time before finally asking, "Master... is there a way to change this?"

"Difficult, very difficult. However, before we can make any changes, we must first repay the karmic debts owed to Heaven," Lao Tzu said again.

Ling Dan nodded, also somewhat expectant. After all, as long as there was a way to change things, that would be enough.

Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly said, "Little Lingdan... I estimate that soon, in order to repay the karmic debts of the Heavenly Dao, we will do many incredible things. You just need to watch and don't need to pay too much attention."

"In the past, we had our own nature and were somewhat sentimental. Now, we are absolutely rational." Tongtian also said solemnly.

Ling Dan nodded, her heart heavy, realizing that many incredible things that would happen in the future might be the foreshadowing of what happened today.

The separation of the Three Pure Ones and the future Great War of the Gods may, to some extent, be due to the incompleteness of the Three Pure Ones and their being influenced by the Heavenly Dao.

Ling Dan sighed inwardly, unsure how to make a change. She felt that her beloved master and uncle seemed to be drifting further and further away.

It was the pain of losing a loved one that left Ling Dan speechless.

Ling Dan knew that from now on she could only rely on herself; she needed to become stronger to do more.

Ling Xi and Duo Bao both fell silent, knowing that this was a futile endeavor.

Ling Dan quickly composed herself and instead asked, "Master... just who was that dark primordial being that appeared?"

"We don't know either. There are too many unknowns hidden in the primordial world. Among these unknowns, how many eras, how many ages, how many powerful figures are there? No one knows. So, in this process, how many people achieved the Primordial Chaos Realm and then went into hiding, we don't know either. Now that this Dark Primordial Chaos has been discovered, no one knows how many Primordial Chaos Realms are still hidden!" Lao Tzu's sigh was heavy.

Ling Dan also looked solemn, marveling at how deep the waters of the primordial world were.

Now even Hunyuan has emerged.

Duobao, however, was somewhat worried: "Master... what if this Dark Chaos appears...?"

"That won't happen. After reaching the Primordial Chaos Realm, one might initially focus on their descendants, their clansmen, and their own power... But with the passage of time and the pursuit of the Great Dao, they will eventually abandon everything and immerse themselves in the Great Dao."

At that time, they were single-mindedly pursuing the Great Dao, and the things around them were merely fleeting clouds, unconcerned. Therefore, no matter how many things happened in the primordial world, they could hardly disturb them. As long as they were not disturbed in their comprehension of the Great Dao, they would not appear.

"Of course, if a treasure suddenly appears in the primordial world that can elevate their Great Dao and allow them to better comprehend it, they will more or less emerge from it," Tongtian Huanhuan said, his mind deep in thought, his expression solemn.

"Is this the pursuit of the Great Dao? Is this the Primordial Chaos Realm?" Ling Dan murmured, feeling somewhat relaxed.

Ling Xi then inquired, "Master, Uncle-Master... could there have been Daoists who attained enlightenment in the past, now lost in the long river of time? After all, Daoist Hongluan..."

Ling Dan nodded, also wanting to know about this.

After all, no one wants to become the next Hongluan Daoist, only to find out at the very moment of his success that someone else has already attained enlightenment, defeated by a single glance or a single word.

That kind of despair was almost maddening.

Laozi stroked his beard, relieved, and said, "Don't worry... no one has proven the Dao before you. After all, I specifically consulted Master Hongjun before you began cultivating your Dao."

"That's good, that's good..." Ling Dan sighed repeatedly, expressing her relief.

Ling Dan felt very fortunate to have been able to join the Xuanmen sect and have Hongjun as her grandmaster and Laozi as her master, making it difficult for her to take any detours on the path of cultivation.

Ling Dan pondered for a moment, then focused her mind and stopped thinking about the issue.

Instead, she gazed at her master with a hint of worry: "Master, Uncle-Master... how will you repay the karmic debt you owe to the Heavenly Dao? Also, I see that Master and Uncle-Master only relied on the Primordial Purple Qi after taking the final step. Does that mean they owed less karmic debt?"

Lao Tzu's calm expression seemed unchanging: "In terms of the karma we owe, Zhunti owes the most, and Nuwa owes the least. We are only slightly better off than Jieyin. After all, we rely on the Heavenly Dao not to achieve Hunyuan, but to make up for our own deficiencies."

"Indeed... to mend the flawed body and step into the Primordial Realm. The karmic debt owed far exceeds that of Junior Sister Nuwa. However, we have long planned how to repay the Heavenly Dao. Alas... we may do many despicable things in the future." The Primordial Heavenly Venerable also stated this point of view indifferently.

His all-seeing eyes gleamed with sharp light, and beneath the edge of his sword, it seemed as if he could see through eternity: "There's no other way now. Repay the karmic debt as soon as possible, only then can you be free."

After a brief conversation, the three Pure Ones headed to their secluded retreat to process the changes that had occurred during this period of primordial chaos.

Ling Dan gazed at their retreating figures, knowing that her familiar master and uncle were gradually fading into the distance. From now on, the benevolent Laozi, the cold-faced but kind-hearted Yuanshi Tianzun, and the heroic Tongtian would all be changed.

The Primordial Chaos Realm, with its primordial purple aura, changed them.

The naivety that Ling Dan had shown when facing her master had completely vanished. Gazing at Ling Xi, she looked at Duobao and said, "Perhaps, from now on, only you two are truly there!"

Ling Xi was saddened, yet also puzzled: "Senior brother, what you mean by that..."

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things. Remember, you are my junior sisters and junior brothers!" Ling Dan said earnestly, flicked her sleeves, and walked towards the secluded cultivation area.
