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

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Hongjun Ancestor took out a small bronze cauldron, threw the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and the Ninth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus Origin into it, and chanted a mantra.

"Moreover, heaven and earth are the furnace, creation is the craftsman, yin and yang are the charcoal, and all things are the copper!"

Between heaven and earth, spiritual energy resonated, and the four cardinal directions were at peace.

In an instant, the Azure Dragon of the East, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North appeared as phantoms. After a while, the Vermilion Bird finally arrived.

As Li Qing watched as Dao Ancestor Hongjun used the power of the Heavenly Dao to refine a spiritual treasure for him, he couldn't help but feel anticipation.

The Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and the Ninth-Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus is also a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. In the hands of Hongjun Daozu, the number one person in the prehistoric world, they should be able to refine a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

He doesn't even have a single top-grade innate spiritual treasure yet!

The best item he currently possesses is the Treasure-Dropping Coin with thirty-six and a half innate restrictions, along with his companion spirit treasure, the Taiji Talisman Seal with thirty-six innate restrictions, and the Limitless Pearl obtained from the Thunder Swamp Treasure Vault.

Just then, Li Qing felt as if the Vermilion Bird had glanced at him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"I killed the Golden-Winged Roc, and sure enough, the Phoenix Clan still remembers it!"

Li Qing secretly warned himself that it was best to avoid going to the southern part of the prehistoric world, the territory of the Phoenix Clan, before he had sufficient strength.

His status as a disciple of a sage is enough to earn him some respect from the great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world, but if faced with enough benefits or hatred, these great supernatural beings are truly determined to fight to the death!

"Could this be the Qiankun Cauldron?"

Zhunti Daoist's eyes widened as he watched Hongjun Daozu's actions. If he were to ask which spiritual treasure he coveted most in the prehistoric world, the Three Treasures of Creation would have to take a backseat to the Qiankun Cauldron!

The Western Earth Vein was shattered, and neither he nor Jieyin could resolve the issue after they both became saints. The Qiankun Cauldron has the ability to transform acquired and innate elements. If he could comprehend it thoroughly, perhaps there would be a chance to repair the Western Earth Vein!

"The great treasures of the East are beyond the reach of the West! But isn't the West also part of the primordial world under the Heavenly Dao?"

Zhunti felt a surge of grief and indignation. If he had bestowed this treasure upon Zhunti and Jieyin during their three sermons, Zhunti could have comprehended the method for repairing the Western Earth Veins and, through the merit of repairing the Western Earth Veins, perhaps he would no longer need to borrow merit from the Heavenly Dao to become a saint!

Di Jun and Tai Yi both looked grim. They had been plotting for so long, but in the end, the Primordial Purple Qi disappeared, Kunpeng became increasingly disloyal, and the Heavenly Court was thrown into chaos by Zhen Yuanzi. Their hopes of becoming saints were dashed, and they had become a laughing stock!

Di Jun glanced in the direction of the Ancestral Witches. The twelve Ancestral Witches had all arrived. Even if he wanted to disregard the Dao Ancestor's decree and force a war now, he would not have the upper hand!

"Kunpeng, this Quasi-Saint with two corpses, is still very important. How can we temporarily win him over so that he can continue to serve us in the final battle?"

As Di Jun played with the Hetu and Luoshu, and watched Hongjun Daozu refine treasures, he made a plan in his mind.

The Three Pure Ones remained silent, each with their own plans, but they were not prepared to communicate at this moment, and all looked at Hongjun Daozu.

Hongjun Daozu mobilized the power of the Heavenly Dao. Before long, he gently tapped the Qiankun Cauldron with his bamboo staff. After the cauldron opened, he added an indestructible spiritual light that exuded a wild and untamed aura. Finally, he used the bamboo staff to connect with the will of Heaven and transformed it into a blade. When it fell, everyone felt a chill on their heads!

"Xuanqiong, I have preserved the part of this Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd that targets the soul, and added the Red Lotus Karmic Fire to make it even more wondrous. It will greatly benefit your path to the Great Dao. Take it as compensation for the injustice you suffered."

Hongjun Daozu stroked his beard with satisfaction, clearly very pleased with the work.

The Styx Ancestor's lips twitched. In his opinion, he had only forced Li Qing to bend down and pick up a Primordial Spiritual Treasure. Li Qing hadn't been hurt at all, but he had almost been killed by the Tongtian Sect Master!

As for whether Li Qing's Dao heart would be clouded by this incident, the Styx Ancestor wouldn't think that much about it!

After all, he felt that as a quasi-saint, the lord of the Blood Sea, and the leader of the Asura Cult, he was already being very restrained by offering a high-grade innate spiritual treasure in exchange for a high-grade innate spiritual treasure in the hands of a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

If it were someone else, he would have turned them into a Blood God Child directly!

Even with such humility, Li Qing was the one who ultimately suffered injustice!

"Thank you, Grandmaster!"

Li Qing took the gourd and probed it with his divine sense. He saw forty-five restrictions shining brightly, clearly the best among top-grade innate spiritual treasures. He couldn't help but think to himself, "A product of the Dao Ancestor, indeed a masterpiece!"

Having vaguely sensed the effects of the gourd, Li Qing decided to separate the new gourd from the original Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd in front of the Dao Ancestor.

"Let's call this treasure the Reincarnation Gourd!"

Without much thought, four words appeared in Li Qing's mind, and then he blurted them out.

Houtu, who was standing to the side, had a slight change in expression upon hearing this, but seemed to be puzzled.

The Taoist Zhunti felt that the word "reincarnation" had a strong connection with the West, and seemed to be perfectly integrated with the doctrines of Western religions. However, he could only stop there and trying to explore it further would only be a waste of energy.

"Could this person truly have a connection with the West? But after all, he is a disciple who has passed on his identity before the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. If we were to truly guide him to the West, the Three Pure Ones would probably be furious. This is not advisable, not advisable!"

Although Zhunti Daoist liked Li Qing very much, after weighing the pros and cons in his heart, he ultimately chose to give up.

"Now that this matter is settled, you should all return to the mountain. Keep the mountain gates tightly shut, and quietly recite two or three volumes of the Yellow Court Classic; this is the way to avoid disaster."

Hongjun Daozu neither agreed nor disagreed with the name "Reincarnation Gourd," nor did he linger, before riding away on auspicious clouds.

Seeing that there was nothing of value to be gained here, and knowing that although Styx was tempted, he had not yet made up his mind to join the West, Zhunti Daoist did not linger any longer. He bid farewell to the Three Pure Ones and left directly.

"Fellow Daoist Styx, please wait."

Styx also wanted to sneak away when everyone left, but the Tongtian Sect Leader spoke up.

"What orders does the Sage of Heaven have for me?"

The Styx Ancestor wanted to be firm, but remembering the great power of the sage, he stopped in his tracks and reluctantly spoke.

The Tongtian Sect Leader sneered, "What the Dao Ancestor said is not over yet! There is a spiritual treasure in your Blood Sea that belongs to my disciple. If you dare to cause trouble after you return, my Immortal Execution Sword will sweep into the Blood Sea. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

"I will obey the Dao Ancestor's words. If there is nothing else, I will return to the Blood Sea!"

The Styx Ancestor was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth, but he didn't dare to refute it and could only reply with a resentful tone.

"It's good that you remember, fellow Daoists. Xuanqiong, Xuantan, Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qiongxiao, let's go back to Kunlun Mountain. This time, your master will personally lead you back to Kunlun Mountain!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader, too lazy to care about the Styx Ancestor's grief and indignation, led Li Qing and the other five, along with Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, back to Kunlun Mountain.
