Primordial Era: Starting with Self-Created Mythical Great Luo Law

The five-colored divine light in the sky suddenly spun, with metal generating water, water generating wood, wood generating fire, fire generating earth, and earth generating metal, before rotating in the opposite direction, its trajectory mysterious and difficult to describe.

In an instant, the giant corpse trembled, its flesh and bones silently disintegrating, leaving only a wisp of the innate Five Elements Dao Fruit that remained condensed and did not dissipate. It rose like a firefly, was gently swept up by the five-colored divine light, and disappeared into the three flowers on the top of the Azure Lotus Daoist's head.

With the corpse destroyed, the resentment within the formation vanished instantly, like mist meeting the sun. The innate grand formation then materialized, and a blessed land unfolded before the two of them—

The mountains shimmered with light, the forests were lush and verdant, the spiritual springs gurgled, and the spiritual veins meandered. The air was filled with innate spiritual energy, and a wisp of pure yang energy was faintly revealed, which was perfect for the disciples of the Pure Yang Sect to use for breathing exercises and cultivation.

The Azure Lotus Daoist concealed his divine light, his three flowers vanished, straightened his robes, and bowed deeply to the Eastern King Duke: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Eastern King Duke, on obtaining this blessed land! From now on, the Pure Yang Sect can live outside the world, untouched by the karma of the primordial era. This is truly a great blessing!"

Dongwanggong shook his head slightly, a bitter smile playing on his lips: "To have obtained this blessed land is indeed a fortunate thing. However... I and the entire Chunyang Sect are afraid we are powerless to protect this pure land. If we truly lose it, what is the meaning of 'congratulations'?"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Qinglian laughed heartily and said, "The Zhurong tribe is indeed an important stronghold of the Wu tribe, and the ancestral witch Zhurong wields the Southern Bright Fire, his power shaking the eight wastelands. However, the Wu tribe does not cultivate their primordial spirit or comprehend the Heavenly Dao; they rely solely on their physical bodies to roam the prehistoric world—if you, fellow Daoist, do not provoke them, why would that Fire God needlessly make an enemy and offend a powerful figure who holds the authority of the Great Dao?"

Within the Wu tribe, the Zhu Rong and Gong Gong factions were like fire and water, constantly fighting each other. Even the ancestral Wu often engaged in heated debates over the earth's veins, fire breath, and water.

If it weren't for the mediation of the ancestral witch Dijiang and the combined efforts of the twelve ancestral witches, countless mountains would have been shattered and rivers dried up long ago.

Would they really turn against the Eastern King Duke over a mere blessed land? Absolutely not!

Furthermore, for the Wu tribe, inhaling clouds and exhaling mist is not as effective as consuming blood and qi, and gathering spiritual energy is not as effective as hunting living beings.

They never cared about places full of spiritual energy, but preferred to go to places where demons roamed—the beasts were running around, their blood boiling, and a single hunt could provide ten days' worth of food, so why bother trekking thousands of miles to find food?

Dongwanggong gently shook his head and sighed, "Life is unpredictable. If it weren't for this rare opportunity, I would have gladly given it up."

In the Antarctic, sacred mountains are few and far between, and blessed lands are hard to find. If he abandons this place, he doesn't know when he will encounter another stroke of good fortune that aligns with the will of Heaven!

The Azure Lotus Daoist smiled and said slowly, "Hehe, since the Primordial Grand Formation has already collapsed, fellow Daoist, there's no need to ponder this further. Why not first relocate all the disciples of the Pure Yang Sect here, choose an auspicious day to rebuild the mountain gate, and then proceed with the plan gradually?"

With things having come to this, Dongwanggong could only bow deeply, his voice low but earnest: "If the Chunyang Sect ever faces calamity, I earnestly hope that you, fellow Daoist, will protect my disciples and ensure the continuation of this lineage."

"The Pure Yang lineage will endure for ten thousand generations. Fellow Daoist, you can rest assured." The Azure Lotus Daoist's gaze was gentle, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

The Chunyang Sect has its own destiny, but the Eastern King Duke himself faces many hardships ahead and may be in danger of falling into the cycle of reincarnation.

Upon hearing this, Dongwanggong's spirits lifted, and he bowed, saying, "Since you have given your word, I can rest assured in preparing for the grand opening ceremony. I would be honored if you could attend and witness it."

After the innate formation was broken, Qinglian Daoist obtained the Five Elements Evil Qi and a wisp of the innate Five Elements Dao Fruit contained in the corpse of the Five Elements Ancestral Dragon. However, compared to Dongwanggong, who possessed the entire blessed land, it was still worlds apart. The cause and effect had been sown, and he insisted on staying for a few more days, otherwise Dongwanggong would not be able to let go of his resentment.

"Fellow Daoist, how could I dare to refuse your kind invitation? Once everything is settled, I also wish to find a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion and attempt to break through to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm." Daoist Qinglian accepted with a smile.

He could not refuse the invitation from the Eastern King Duke; moreover, this was a good opportunity to see the true faces of the reclusive masters of Antarctica and to discuss profound principles and verify the Great Dao with fellow practitioners.

"With a fellow Daoist present to witness the ceremony, the Chunyang Sect will surely shine like the morning glow reflecting on snow, illuminating a thousand peaks!" Upon hearing this, Dongwanggong burst into laughter.

Antarctic cultivators are already rare, and those who have truly reached the Great Divine Power Realm are even rarer.

The arrival of Daoist Qinglian was not only a matter of face, but also a matter of confidence—even if the Zhu Rong tribe sent people to investigate, seeing him sitting calmly to one side of the mountain gate, they would have to think twice and dare not make the slightest move.

Now that the Primordial Era is coming to an end, the Witch Clan is flourishing and has already shown signs of contending for supremacy in the primordial world: all twelve Ancestral Witches possess the cultivation of the Great Luo, and the Great Witches under their command are all Taiyi masters. With every move they make, mountains collapse and the earth cracks, and wherever their aura goes, all beasts bow their heads.

Even a true master of supernatural powers like the Eastern King, who lived next to the Zhu Rong tribe, was always on guard and cautious. How could he easily provoke a conflict?

After speaking, the Eastern King bowed and took his leave. He then turned back to the mountain and summoned all the disciples of the Chunyang Sect to make preparations for the establishment of the palace.

The Taoist Qinglian strolled along, chose a verdant peak, and with a light flick of his robes, a thatched hut appeared on his head.

He sat cross-legged inside, his eyes lowered, calming his mind and focusing his spirit. While nurturing the innate Five Elements Dao Fruit, he deduced the origin of the Five Elements, evolving many unprecedented and mysterious methods.

His foundation was already laid; he was just one step away from unlocking the gates to the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm.

Now, having obtained a wisp of Dao Fruit from the remains of the Five Elements Ancestral Dragon, it can be refined into a protective spiritual treasure, or fused together with the companion treasure, the Spirit Jade Staff, to create half a Dao-proving artifact—with the assistance of the innate Five Elements Dao Fruit to activate it, its profound and subtle nature is far beyond what the Spirit Jade Staff of the past could compare to.

Now, several decades passed in the blink of an eye. The Chunyang Sect opened its gates wide, distributed jade slips, invited guests from all directions, and officially held its opening ceremony.

In an instant, cultivators from all directions surged in like a tide, each displaying their supernatural powers and phenomena, burning incense and praying, bowing to the heavens, and joining in the grand event—the Pure Yang Sect was officially established and founded, firmly occupying a blessed land, receiving the mandate of heaven and the grace of earth.

From then on, any disciple of the Chunyang Sect who never set foot in the mortal world would be free from karmic entanglements and calamities.

But the secrets of heaven are unpredictable, and calamities often come uninvited, leaving no place to hide or avoid.

After completing the grand opening ceremony, Daoist Qinglian returned to his secluded chamber in the mountains to cultivate in seclusion, deducing his innate Dao and attaining the Dao fruit.

The three flowers of the primordial spirit slowly bloomed, and the innate five elements spiritual fire burst forth from the top of the head. The five colors of flame—red, orange, yellow, white, and black—soared into the sky, and the energy of creation flowed accordingly, naturally revealing the principle of the generation and restraint of the five elements.

He quietly merged his companion treasure, the Spirit Jade Staff, with the Five Elements Dao Fruit obtained from the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon.

This fire is no ordinary innate spiritual fire, but a true flame condensed from the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements; the spirit jade staff is also no ordinary artifact, but was originally the companion spiritual treasure of the Azure Lotus Daoist, containing the mysteries of the five elements. The two, together with that strand of the Five Elements Ancestral Dragon Dao Fruit, fit together perfectly, like mortise and tenon joints, forming a perfect whole.

In an instant, the three gradually merged and condensed into a scroll of illustrations—neither gold nor jade, its substance seemingly illusory; above floated the five-colored divine light of the innate five elements, below supported the spirit jade rod as its skeleton, and within it lay the true seed of the five elements' great Dao, capable of capturing the essence of the five elements' origin in heaven and earth.

After 49 years of tireless nurturing and refining day and night, it finally became a brand new spiritual treasure.
