Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

Before leaving, Li Qing gathered endless wood elemental spiritual energy and scattered it, healing the humans of the Xuan tribe and making everyone more convinced of his words.

"Wuyishan? Where is that?"

Xuan scratched his head. He understood what Li Qing meant: they should go to Wuyi Mountain, where there was a powerful innate formation that could protect them from the demons.

But the problem is, he doesn't know where Wuyishan is!

Xuan looked at his clansmen below and asked, "Do you know where Mount Wuyi is?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Only the newborn baby, who neither cried nor fussed after birth, seemed to understand the mystery, giggling and pointing its tiny hand towards the southwest.

"Hmm? Do you perhaps know?"

Xuan noticed the newborn baby and was overjoyed.

"Could this child be a gift from heaven to our tribe? If we can find Mount Wuyi, you will be our tribe's next chieftain!"

Xuan picked up the child, and the child laughed even more happily, pointing to the southwest.

"Alright, I hope you can lead our Xuan tribe from now on. We'll call you Xuandu! Everyone, let's go back and prepare. I'll go scout the direction. If we encounter Wuyi Mountain within ten years, we'll migrate there!"

As the only celestial being in the tribe and also the clan leader, Xuan held immense prestige. At his command, everyone responded in unison.

Xuan arranged the affairs of the clan and, without delay, flew directly in the direction Xuandu pointed out.

Li Qing remained hidden in the clouds, his expression slightly complicated.

"Xuan Du. Could you be that Xuan Du?"

Looking at the quiet baby below, Li Qing knew that, with a high degree of certainty, this Xuandu was the only disciple of the Human Sect, personally taught by Laozi, the Grand Master Xuandu.

"So, is our eldest master paying attention to this place?"

Li Qing suddenly thought of something else: if this Xuandu is the same as that Xuandu, then if he doesn't come, wouldn't Xuandu be killed by the demon race?

But he just happened to come, and he even arrived before the demon race.

"Could this be a sage's move, flawless and perfect?"

Li Qing pondered this, then bowed respectfully towards Kunlun Mountain. He couldn't possibly use his knowledge of Xuandu's identity to deduce Laozi's plans: "Master, my two senior uncles, please bless this disciple so that all my wishes may be fulfilled!"

On Mount Kunlun, Laozi smiled slightly, knowing that Li Qing had vaguely sensed something, otherwise he wouldn't have brought him and Yuanshi Tianzun along.

I actually think highly of Li Qing.

He performed well in the Kunlun Mountains. He was born with both Yin and Yang energies and had the Tai Chi symbol by his side. If properly nurtured, he could inherit the mantle of the Taiqing lineage.

Unfortunately, Li Qing was born into the demon race and was destined to be estranged from the human sect, but this did not stop Laozi from going with the flow and quietly assigning some chores to Li Qing.

If Li Qing couldn't solve the mystery in the plate, that would be fine. But now that he has vaguely figured it out, he should be given some benefit.

Lao Tzu struck Kunlun Mountain with his flat cane, and a beam of spiritual light flew out from the ancestral vein of all mountains, silently circling around Li Qing.

"You're a promising young man; I grant you the best of luck on this trip!"

When a sage speaks, the secrets of heaven change.

Although Li Qing didn't know what happened on Kunlun Mountain, he had only been with Xuan for five years when he saw the other party being blown away by a gust of wind, flying for another three years before suddenly stopping.

There, amidst swirling clouds and mist, a stone tablet appeared, inscribed with the three divine symbols of "Wuyi Mountain".

"As expected, Mount Wuyi exists! That immortal didn't lie to us after all!"

Xuan was overjoyed. As the leader of the human race, he naturally knew about the attacks and devouring of some small human tribes by the demon race. Now that he had found a place protected by a primordial array, his tribe members would be safer!

"But how do I get in? I'm only a Celestial Immortal; how can I break this formation? Ah, that's it! The Immortal must have ordered me to lead my people to relocate here before opening the formation!"

Xuan filled in the blanks, bowed three times toward Mount Wuyi, and hurriedly returned to his tribe.

After Xuan left, Li Qing appeared from the clouds, his heart filled with excitement. He quickly bowed towards Kunlun Mountain again, saying, "Thank you, Master and my two senior uncles!"

Without further ado, fearing that delay might cause unforeseen changes, he opened his all-seeing eye, looked down, and with a wave of his hand, countless divine runes coalesced. He pressed down and shouted, "Open!"

As the celestial light swept across, divine patterns lit up one after another, adhering to the great formation. In an instant, the clouds and mist dissipated, revealing a passageway.

Without hesitation, Li Qing strode into the mountains.

Upon entering Wuyi Mountain, one is greeted by a truly blessed land, with a stream flowing through the mountains, its clear waters meandering through nine bends. Rocky peaks line the stream's banks, their reflections shimmering in the cool, green waters.

However, Li Qing felt as if there was a subtle disharmony beneath this beautiful scenery; the edges and corners of the flowers, plants, and trees all had a hint of withered yellow.

Li Qing was traveling at great speed amidst ethereal clouds. Halfway through his journey, he suddenly heard the cry of a deer. Looking up, he saw a white deer run out from behind a rocky outcrop, blocking his path. The deer lowered its body, let out two soft cries, and gestured for Li Qing to ride it.

"This is?"

Li Qing was taken aback. He looked with his divine eye and saw that the white deer in front of him was connected to the earth vein of Wuyi Mountain. Unexpectedly, he had encountered the earth vein spirit of Wuyi Mountain, and the earth vein spirit seemed to recognize him!

This feeling was something he had never experienced since he was born!

"Hahaha, riding a white deer at dawn, straight up Mount Wuyi!"

Li Qing laughed loudly, then swung himself onto the white deer: "Good deer, let's go!"

The white deer seemed to sense Li Qing's joy as well, and clouds rose from its feet, soaring into the air and heading towards the mountaintop.

Li Qing continued to observe the terrain from the white deer's back. He saw the terrain veins converge and gather at the mountaintop, and soon they arrived.

Li Qing looked at it and saw that the stone tablet had several naturally formed innate divine patterns that resembled seal script but were not. The inscription read: "Blessed Land of Wuyi Mountain, True Ascension to Mysterious Cave Heaven".

"This is the central hub of the blessed land of Wuyi Mountain; the Treasure-Dropping Coin must have been conceived here!"

Li Qing dismounted from the white deer, which let out a soft cry and crashed into the True Ascension and Profound Heaven Cave.

The next moment, a burst of crimson-gold light shot out from the cave, and a stench of money wafted over.

Li Qing was overjoyed and rushed into the cave. There, amidst the endless mist, he saw something emitting boundless bronze light, and the cave was filled with the stench of copper.

"The Treasure-Dropping Coin is indeed here!"

Upon seeing that the treasure resembled a copper coin with two flapping wings, Li Qing immediately understood that it must be the Treasure-Losing Coin.

This treasure is very famous. It shone brightly in the Investiture of the Gods and became famous for dropping the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl.

After planning for thousands of years, Li Qing finally saw the appearance of this treasure here.

"Be as careful at the end as at the beginning, and you will not fail. When things come to a head, think thrice before you miss the opportunity."

With his millennia-long plan finally about to succeed, Li Qing was momentarily excited, but then calmed down and didn't rush to collect the Treasure-Dropping Coin. Instead, he began to observe the environment around it.

Li Qingyun used his magical power to open his eyes again and looked around the Falling Treasure Coin. What he saw made him tremble with fear!
