Primordial Era: Reborn Kong Xuan, Steady Cultivation

In the decades that followed, Kong Xuan, Ma Sui, Yun Xiao, Zhao Gongming, and others sat on the Three Immortal Islands, discussing the Dao, tasting spiritual fruits, and exchanging their cultivation experiences and understanding of the laws of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Although their methods differed, they all originated naturally, and upon verification, they all felt they had gained a great deal.

Among them, the profound meaning of "five qi in the chest" expounded by Kong Xuan deeply moved Yunxiao and Zhao Gongming, broadening their horizons.

They previously only knew that they needed to refine the innate five elements to nourish the five internal organs and build the foundation of the Taiyi Dao, but they had never delved into the changes of Yin and Yang within the five elements. Between their mutual generation and mutual restraint, there were infinite mysteries that concerned the potential of their future path and their combat power.

"Having heard your explanation, I realize how shallow my previous understanding was; I have truly benefited greatly!"

Zhao Gongming sighed deeply, his words filled with emotion and a sense of sudden enlightenment.

He has a cheerful personality and makes no secret of his admiration.

Yunxiao nodded in agreement, her beautiful face showing a thoughtful expression and a hint of barely perceptible solemnity: "Although the Daoist methods are clear, the pure innate Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi is extremely rare and hard to find."

With my siblings' meager cultivation and foundation, to gather the necessary skills... it would likely require a long period of time and countless opportunities.

Her concerns ran deeper, extending not only to herself and Zhao Gongming, but also to the future of her two younger sisters, Qiongxiao and Bixiao.

The three sisters share the same origin and rely on each other on their paths, requiring a vast amount of resources.

Now, the "Five Qi in the Chest" method is gradually spreading throughout the ancient world, and countless cultivators are secretly searching for this kind of innate qi. The fierce competition is unimaginable.

The road ahead is clear, yet difficult.

Is it about spending endless energy and time pursuing the more perfect and potentially greater path of Yin and Yang?

Weighing the pros and cons, should we first lay the foundation with a single innate five elements of Qi in order to improve our realm as soon as possible?

Yunxiao is of noble character and lofty aspirations, so he naturally leans towards the former, even if the road ahead is rugged.

In her view, if she were to build her foundation with ordinary Five Elements Qi, even if she were to advance by chance, she would probably find it difficult to gain an advantage among her peers, which was not what she wanted.

Only when one cannot find enough primordial energy to balance Yin and Yang, it is acceptable to resort to the Yin element of the Five Elements to attain enlightenment.

As for the most basic method, refining the five elements with ordinary five elements, that is not considered.

Kong Xuan and Ma Sui saw the expressions on the two men's faces and naturally understood their concerns.

Ma Suidun's face showed understanding, and he said slowly, "Fellow Daoist's concerns are very valid. Innate Qi is already rare, and Qi that is in harmony with Yin and Yang is even rarer."

However, the Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Cycle is forty-nine; there is always a glimmer of hope. The Eastern Sea is vast, and extraordinary encounters are hidden within; there may well be opportunities.

His words were both a comfort and an indication of potential opportunities overseas.

Kong Xuan pondered for a moment. He possessed five-colored divine light and had a profound understanding of the Five Elements. He could also vaguely sense the flow of the Five Elements in the world.

"Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are mutually reinforcing and complementary. While pursuing perfection is difficult, it is not a dead end."

Perhaps... we could start with certain specific regions, historical sites, or spiritual objects associated with unusual phenomena.

The creation of heaven and earth has its own principles, and under the influence of the vital energy, there are not necessarily no traces to be found.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming's expression hardened slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke slowly:

"My two fellow Daoists, this matter should not be easily spread, but since you two have asked me so frankly, I dare not hide it from you."

During my previous trip to the East China Sea, I accidentally stumbled upon a mysterious and unpredictable fairy island.

Its mountains are rugged and majestic, reaching the sky and stretching for countless miles.

The island is shrouded in a spiritual mist, like a hazy glow, with rare and exotic flowers and herbs growing in abundance, and auspicious energy swirling around it endlessly. It is truly the most spiritually blessed and beautiful place I have ever seen in my life.

However, the island is heavily fortified and faintly connected to the chaotic energy, so I dared not trespass.

I originally intended to return to the Three Immortal Islands and invite my three younger sisters to explore together.

Since you two fellow Daoists happen to be here, it is by fate. Would you be willing to travel together?

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Kong Xuan and Ma Sui's eyes lit up almost simultaneously, and a slight look of joy appeared on their faces.

While their discussion and exchange of ideas were genuinely intended to verify the Daoist principles, they also harbored the desire to explore the secrets of the East Sea and search for traces of the immortal islands.

Now that Zhao Gongming has brought it up himself, and described it in such an amazing way, it's just like finding a needle in a haystack!

"Oh?" Kong Xuan's expression shifted slightly, and he pressed on, "The immortal island you mentioned, fellow Daoist, is actually connected to the chaotic aura?"

These places are far beyond what ordinary overseas islands can compare to; they likely hold the remnants of the beginning of time.

He quickly considered that Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals at this moment were not as unfathomable as later legends suggested, and the spiritual treasures they possessed were far from complete.

The twenty-four powerful sea-stabilizing pearls that once shook the four seas were nowhere to be seen, and Yunxiao had not yet taken control of the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron.

Clearly, this is an opportunity they have yet to encounter.

Otherwise, with the power of these two magical treasures, they would have easily defeated those two evil dragons.

The mysterious fairy island that Zhao Gongming encountered this time, according to his description, is very likely one of the three fairy islands overseas, and may be the Penglai Fairy Island that has not yet appeared in the world.

It should be understood that if the Immortal Island has not yet been officially established, being able to set foot on it first means gaining an advantage.

If the Immortal Island were to fully appear in the world, not only would one have to compete with many fellow cultivators for opportunities, but even those powerful beings who have already reached the Great Luo realm would likely intervene.

Moreover, the sermon at Zixiao Palace has just concluded, and the positions of the male and female immortal leaders have been initially determined.

The land of the East Sea is precisely where the Eastern King Duke's Purple Mansion Continent is located.

Given his character and scheming, he might very well take advantage of the emergence of the Immortal Island to expand his power and establish a foundation for the Immortal Court.

Seeing the two men display great interest and knowledge, Zhao Gongming felt even more confident and nodded, saying, "That's right."

I was caught up in this strange spatial turbulence by sheer chance, and that's how I got to see just the tip of the iceberg.

The island is heavily protected by natural restrictions, reflecting a state of chaos and uncertainty. It would be difficult for me to penetrate it alone.

Furthermore, the island's vastness and abundant spiritual energy far surpass those of ordinary overseas immortal mountains, suggesting it may be connected to the legendary overseas immortal islands.

He paused slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three Yunxiao sisters, then looking at Kong Xuan and Ma Sui, and sincerely invited them: "Fellow Daoists, you are both highly skilled and knowledgeable. If we can gain your assistance in exploring this island, our chances of success will surely increase greatly."

What do you two think? How about we travel together and seize this opportunity?

This was exactly what Kong Xuan and Ma Sui wanted to hear.

Kong Xuan immediately clapped his hands, his eyes shining brightly: "Since you have extended this invitation, fellow Daoist, how could this humble Daoist and Daoist Ma Sui possibly refuse? Such a predestined encounter is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity; we should go and explore it together!"

Ma Sui nodded with a smile: "That is indeed my wish, but I dare not ask. Fellow Daoist Zhao's willingness to share this secret shows his noble character."

By joining forces, we can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses, and even if there are obstacles, we should be able to turn them into safety.
