The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 5: Farewell to Kunlun, Heading to the East Sea
After Zhou Chen perfected his cultivation at the Earth Immortal realm, he did not continue cultivating because he had not yet deduced the cultivation method for the next realm. He used the Nine Breaths Breath Absorption Technique to quickly recover his depleted mana.

The innate spiritual energy within billions of miles of Zhou Chen's cave dwelling surged towards him like a waterfall, being absorbed and refined by him to replenish the energy consumed in condensing his Dao body.

This commotion immediately attracted the attention of Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuxu Palace. He looked in Zhou Chen's direction, let out a soft exclamation, and then calculated with his fingers. After realizing that Zhou Chen was a disciple of the Jie Sect who had been in seclusion, he paid no more attention to him and continued to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

After recovering, Zhou Chen left his cave and prepared to wander around Kunlun Mountain. After all, since joining the Jie Sect, he had been listening to the Dao and cultivating in order to protect himself. Now he had achieved some success and was ready to relax and wander around Kunlun Mountain to appreciate the splendor of the top-level blessed land in the prehistoric world.

As Zhou Chen walked on Kunlun Mountain, he felt something was missing, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He walked and stopped to admire the scenery of Kunlun, and before he knew it, he arrived at the location of Shangqing Palace, where he had listened to the sermons before.

? !
Of the three enormous palaces that once stood atop Mount Kunlun, only one remained, and its name was no longer Taiqing, Yuqing, or Shangqing, but Yuxu Palace.

Is this the Three Pure Ones splitting up? Come to think of it, although Kunlun Mountain is a top-tier blessed land, it is difficult to bear the Daoist lineage and fortune of the three sages. In addition, the doctrines of the Jie and Chan sects are in conflict, so the splitting up is inevitable. Therefore, Zhou Chen is not surprised.

After some thought, Zhou Chen decided to pay his respects to Yuanshi Tianzun. After all, he had already arrived at the entrance of Yuxu Palace. Although he was an inner disciple of the Jie Sect, he was still a disciple of the Daoist sect. It would be impolite not to pay his respects.

As the old saying goes, it's never wrong to be overly polite.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chen headed straight for the Jade Void Palace, intending to pay his respects to the Primordial Celestial Venerable and inquire about his teacher's whereabouts. He also wondered if the Golden Turtle Island had been found yet.
Zhou Chen arrived at the gate of Jade Void Palace and was about to walk inside when he saw a boy standing at the entrance. He was taken aback for a moment, but then he realized what was happening and bowed to him.

"I am a disciple of the Shangqing Tongtian Sect. I have come out of seclusion today to pay my respects to my master."

Zhou Chen pretended not to know what had happened.

The boy was taken aback by Zhou Chen's words.

He looked at Zhou Chen, puzzled as to why some of the disciples of the Sage of Heaven had not yet left.

"I am the White Crane Boy, and now..."

Just as the White Crane Boy was about to recount some events, he was interrupted by a voice.

"Tong'er, let him in!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen looked towards the Jade Void Palace, then bowed to the White Crane Boy before stepping directly into the Jade Void Palace.

The White Crane Boy returned the greeting and watched Zhou Chen enter the Jade Void Palace, but the doubt in his eyes did not diminish.

After entering the Jade Void Palace, Zhou Chen looked at the Primordial Heavenly Venerable sitting high on the futon above and respectfully bowed.

"Nephew pays respects to Second Master Uncle."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Zhou Chen and nodded.

"What brings you here, my nephew?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen asked a question.

"Second Uncle, your junior disciple has been in seclusion for tens of thousands of years, but I don't know what happened. Your junior disciple just came out of seclusion and was preparing to come and pay his respects to the master, but I didn't expect the master to be not here."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Zhou Chen, then shook his head helplessly. "Nephew, my third brother has already established a Daoist temple on Jin'ao Island in the East Sea. You can go to the East Sea to find him."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen bowed respectfully once again.

"Thank you for informing me, Second Master Uncle. If there is nothing else, I will go to the East Sea to find my teacher."

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded again.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Chen retreated towards the outside of Jade Void Palace.

After he left the Jade Void Palace, he headed down to the foot of Kunlun Mountain.

Zhou Chen arrived at the foot of Kunlun Mountain and turned to look at it. This was once the place where he sought the Dao, but now that the Three Pure Ones had separated, he was about to leave this place.

A look of reminiscence crossed Zhou Chen's eyes, but it was only for a moment before he regained his composure, looked away, glanced at the palace behind him again, sighed helplessly, and took a step forward.

He stood in the void, glanced around, took a step, and the space rumbled and split open automatically. Zhou Chen used the Golden Light Leap Technique, transforming into a golden light and entering the space, which then closed up.

The commotion also startled Yuanshi Tianzun, who frowned.

"A top-tier Grand Luo Immortal who has mastered the Dao of Space?"

……

Zhou Chen's appearance immediately drew much attention to Kunlun Mountain.

A golden light darted through the space at breakneck speed. The layers of space acted like portals, naturally opening up to the golden light and shortening its distance, allowing it to quickly teleport to even farther places. With the added speed boost from the vertical golden light, it could be said to travel billions of miles in an instant, continuously speeding towards the East China Sea.

Ordinary cultivators might not be able to see it, but only those who have cultivated to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal or those who have mastered the laws of space and are at the top level can sense the terrifying golden light above their heads.

He stirred up the primordial space, yet his magical power remained hidden, causing the space to yield to him. Moreover, he was able to unleash the great supernatural power of "Golden Light Across the Earth" within the spatial passage.

Even ordinary Great Luo Golden Immortals, even if they can shatter the void and walk through spatial passages, would not dare to recklessly use any supernatural powers, because if an accident occurs, they will get lost in the spatial turbulence. The fact that this person can use the Golden Light Technique of Leaping Across the Earth in a spatial passage is enough to show that his spatial mastery is absolutely very strong.

Of course, they had no idea that Zhou Chen wasn't a Grand Luo Golden Immortal who had mastered the Dao of Space. Rather, his body was filled with the power of spacetime, which he had refined into his physical body and primordial spirit, transforming it into his own unique spacetime power. Therefore, Zhou Chen wouldn't be harmed in the space passage. After all, his body and primordial spirit possessed the characteristics of spacetime power. Arriving in the space passage was like a fish returning to water. The current might be a bit turbulent or there might be some waves, but how could the fish be in danger?

A thousand years later, above a valley near the East Sea, space suddenly cracked open, and a figure emerged from it—it was Zhou Chen, who had come from Kunlun.

After Zhou Chen came out, he looked around and revealed a relieved smile.

"Traversing space is fast, but it's all the same monotonous spatial turbulence, which is a bit annoying. Anyway, I don't have anything urgent to do next, so I'll just fly outside and enjoy the strange scenery of the primordial world. As the saying goes, man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature. The laws governing the Great Tao are all contained within this primordial world. Perhaps I'll gain some new insights by exploring it!"

Zhou Chen murmured something, and his figure instantly soared into the sky, speeding towards the endless East Sea. This time, he did not use spatial teleportation or the Golden Light of Leaping Earth, but only used his magic power to fly in the sky, but his speed was still not slow.
