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

Looking at these souls, Li Qing suddenly had a thought.

"I want to follow them and see where they're going!"

Once the thought arose, it was unstoppable.

Li Qing involuntarily raised a cloud and followed the spirits.

Yunxiao and the other three noticed Li Qing's unusual movement and were startled. Seeing that Li Qing had already taken a step forward, they quickly followed and stayed close by.

Li Qing followed these souls northward, traversing mountains and rivers, crossing plains and marshes. After traveling for an unknown period of time, the clouds and mist in front of him dissipated, and suddenly a majestic mountain appeared.

This mountain is majestic and imposing, with a bluish-black color. The mountaintop is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the faint sound of a dragon's roar can be heard.

"Nature's creation bestows its most wondrous beauty, dividing day and night with yin and yang. Mount Tai."

A name suddenly surfaced in Li Qing's mind, as if the name of this mountain was engraved deep in his soul.

Li Qing looked up and saw that the surroundings were still shrouded in mist and unclear, but a huge dragon vein winding and coiling on Mount Tai, dividing yin and yang, was clearly visible to him.

"As expected of the transformation of the six yang leaders of Pangu, only this mountain can stop the great river from flowing eastward into the sea, and only this mountain can separate yin and yang, preventing the yin and yang of the primordial world from being in chaos!"

Suddenly, Li Qing thought of all these years. Looking at those souls, he saw that they had just drifted to the foot of Mount Tai and then drifted down into the depths of the earth through an invisible passage.

"Could this place be the other side of the primordial world?"

Without hesitation, Li Qing followed the spirits into Mount Tai, channeling his magic power as he descended.

"Let's go, let's follow our senior brother."

Yunxiao also used his magic power and went down Mount Tai with Zhao Gongming and the others.

Beneath Mount Tai, there is no sunlight, no spiritual energy, only endless yin energy and death energy.

"It's so oppressive here. How did you end up here with those spirits, Senior Brother? Is this really your place of enlightenment? Or could it be a trap set by some powerful evil cultivator to lure you here?"

As Bixiao walked, her brows furrowed, and her mind became sharp: "Even if it's not a trap, one can roughly know their nature by observing their location."

If there were a powerful being here, their temper wouldn't be very good. Disturbing my senior brother's enlightenment is a serious matter!

In my opinion, we should find a way to inform Master as soon as possible!

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao frowned slightly, feeling that Bixiao's words also made sense.

Just as he was thinking about how to notify the Tongtian Sect Leader, he saw a flash of green light on Li Qing's body, and his figure disappeared from the perception of his divine sense.

Upon further sensing, even Zhao Gongming and the others could only see it but not perceive it through their divine sense.

Yunxiao, with her kind heart and gentle nature, quickly figured out the cause and effect after a moment's thought.

"Our master is a sage; he must have planned this long ago. Look, our senior brother and we have all disappeared from our divine senses. This must be our master's doing. Let's continue following him!"

Bixiao sensed it briefly and found that it was just as Yunxiao had said, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

From the moment she stepped into the foot of Mount Tai, she was constantly worried that Li Qing might have been tricked by evil spirits.

Now that he knew the Tongtian Sect Leader was watching, his worries immediately dissipated.

Li Qing and his group of five followed the group of spirits downwards. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the view suddenly opened up before them, as if they had entered another world.

But in this place, the sky was red, the earth was red, and even the air was filled with a faint smell of blood.

Further ahead, a vast ocean comes into view.

The seawater was as red as blood, as viscous as paste, and as the waves surged, countless bubbles burst, spewing out a fishy stench.

Various corpses and fragments floated on the sea, including those of ferocious beasts from the beginning of creation, those of cultivators from the three races during the Dragon-Han Tribulation, and many others that no one could recognize.

The Sea of ​​Blood, the most filthy place in the primordial wilderness.

When Tongtian Jiaozhu recounted the great supernatural beings of the primordial world, he mentioned that the Styx Ancestor lived here, was born wielding the Yuan Tu and A Bi swords, and was one of the best among the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace.

Before Tongtian Jiaozhu attained enlightenment, he tested his sword in the primordial world and sparred with the Styx Ancestor, resulting in some minor disagreements.

These thoughts flashed through Li Qing's mind for a moment before he looked at the scene before him.

The souls were drawn by an unknown force and plunged into the sea of ​​blood.

Once inside the Blood Sea, they are swallowed up and become part of it.

Looking at the scene before him, Li Qing suddenly had a sudden realization.

Now that reincarnation no longer exists, the souls of living beings who die in this world return to this Netherworld Blood Sea.

This is the most filthy and darkest place between heaven and earth, and also the starting point and end point of the cycle of reincarnation for all living beings.

As he watched the sea of ​​blood surge and souls being devoured, the question that had troubled Li Qing for so long suddenly found its answer.

"What is my path?"

He recalled his journey from another time, merging with the Green Lion, and cultivating step by step to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

He recalled how he risked punishment from Heaven to devour the Heavenly Tribulation, all for the sake of successfully transforming into human form.

I recall traveling thousands of miles to Kunlun Mountain to become a disciple, just to find a patron in this desolate place.

He recalled that he had been scheming for thousands of years, all for the sake of obtaining the Treasure Coin, to give himself another trump card.

All actions are solely for the sake of one's own path!

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao. My Tao has never been anything profound or unfathomable."

Li Qing suddenly felt enlightened!

"Life and death are an endless cycle. I seek the Great Dao to be born, while others die according to the cycle of eons."

"My path is to live, to become stronger, so strong that no one can threaten me, so strong that no one can control my destiny, so strong that I can attain great freedom and liberation!"

"This is my way."

All these thoughts, once they arise, eventually converge and give birth to a golden lamp in the heart, casting down countless lights. These sparks, like wildfire, surge up to the Niwan Palace (the area around the head), radiating great light.

The endless light descended, and the auspicious clouds above Li Qing's head surged wildly. Five white waves washed back and forth, gathering all the light and transforming it into a point of spiritual light that was born from the auspicious clouds, shining brightly and rushing straight into the river of destiny.

In the long river of fate, even without wind, ripples can arise. Although they may be just small ripples, they still have the potential to rise from the smallest of duckweed.

Undying Aura!

The Foundation of the Great Luo!

At this moment, it burst forth from the river of fate, its brilliance mingling with the divine light emanating from Li Qing, and finally transformed into a seed, gently landing within Li Qing's auspicious clouds.

Yunxiao exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Brother has condensed the undying spiritual light!"

Zhao Gongming and the others were overjoyed. They thought that Li Qing's enlightenment would last for a long time, but they did not expect that Li Qing had only watched the battle of the East Sea and followed the soul, and actually condensed the immortal spiritual light.

Although he is still far from being a true Great Luo Golden Immortal, with this indestructible spiritual light, Li Qing's path to becoming a Great Luo Immortal has been paved for more than half. The rest is just a matter of time and effort!

"good!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader, who was in seclusion, smiled slightly and spoke approvingly.

The Water and Fire Child, who was fast asleep outside the door, seemed to sense the joy of the Tongtian Sect Leader. He hugged the leader's large gourd and slept even more soundly, drooling as he did so.
