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

"Seven returns of cinnabar to its original state, nine returns of golden elixir to its true nature. Do not count Yin and Zi in the numbers of Kun and Shen. Only the five elements must be in accordance with the correct order."

Originally, it is of the same nature as mercury, circulating throughout all the celestial bodies. With the balance of Yin and Yang, it naturally connects with the divine. Its coming and going are inseparable from the Mysterious Female.

Laozi neither agreed nor disagreed with Li Qing's words, got up from his cloud bed, sang a song, and went straight away.

"In his words, the eldest master explained the second stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation: the five elements in the chest return to their original state and are transformed into the primordial primordial energy in the ancestral aperture."

Li Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and he realized something.

After Laozi left, Yuanshi Tianzun did not linger any longer and returned to Yuqing Palace with his disciples.

This time, he was thoroughly outmaneuvered by the Western Sect and lost face. If it weren't for Li Qing's last-minute intervention, the Three Pure Ones would have lost all face, which was unacceptable to the proud Primordial Heavenly Lord!

It's just a primordial spiritual treasure; it's not like Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't have one!

Upon returning this time, he armed all his disciples with innate spiritual treasures, ready to exact revenge on the Western Sect disciples the next time they encountered them!

After Yuanshi Tianzun stormed off in a huff, Tongtian Jiaozhu also spoke up: "Let's go, come back with me."

With the four personal disciples following them and the seven immortal attendants attending to them, all the inner and outer disciples returned to the Shangqing Hall together.

Without wasting words, the Tongtian Sect Leader said, "The matter of the previous incident was not your fault, but my fault."

I originally intended to bestow upon you innate spiritual treasures for protection after you have found your own path, so as to prevent your path from being affected by the path within the innate spiritual treasures.

However, now that I think about it, most of you are not considered to be at a high level. If there were any battles while traveling in the primordial world, it would indeed be inconvenient to have no spiritual treasures for protection.

Upon hearing the first words of the Tongtian Sect Leader, the disciples felt a warm current in their hearts, and upon hearing what followed, they were overjoyed.

The importance of spiritual treasures is well understood by all living beings in the primordial world.

In terms of protection and enlightenment, cultivators with spiritual treasures and those without are worlds apart!

Just like the three Maitreyas of the Western religion, in terms of their own supernatural powers and magic, they may not be stronger than Jinling, Wudang, and Yunxiao, but they easily defeated the three of them with their innate spiritual treasures.

Today, the words of the Tongtian Sect Leader clearly indicate that he intends to bestow a spiritual treasure, which makes everyone excited!

The Tongtian Sect Leader did not disappoint them, and continued, "I obtained some treasures in the Zixiao Palace back then, and I will bestow them upon you today."

"Duobao, you have a fondness for finding and refining treasures, so I bestow upon you this All Things Return to Origin Cauldron, and also the Golden Cloud Crown and the Rainbow-Piercing Rope for protection."

Duobao Daoist stepped forward and happily accepted the two innate spiritual treasures. Combined with the spiritual treasures bestowed upon him by the Tongtian Sect Master after he broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal, he can now truly be called Duobao Daoist!

"Xuanqiong".

The Master of Heaven looked at Li Qing again.

Li Qing stepped forward and knelt down, saying, "Disciple is here."

"Your fortune is shallow, and your destiny is fraught with misfortune. You are destined to attract karma and struggle through countless tribulations. I have the Purple Lightning Hammer to protect you on your path, and I also bestow upon you the Heart-Piercing Treasure Lock for self-defense."

Both of these are dangerous weapons. You must think carefully and be extremely cautious before using them, lest you become entangled in cause and effect and suffer the consequences.

"I will keep this in mind and never forget it."

Li Qing spoke solemnly, not daring to be negligent.

Tongtian waved his sleeve, and two beams of spiritual light landed in Li Qing's hands.

Just as Li Qing was about to express his gratitude, the Tongtian Sect Leader took out several more magical treasures.

"This is a treasure forged from the corpse of a Yin-Yang Flood Dragon. I used the merits of establishing the Jie Sect to cleanse it of its malevolent energy, and now it is a treasure for the benefit of acquired merits."

If you encounter someone with great merit and fortune, and it's not suitable to use those two spiritual treasures, then use this treasure. This treasure kills without incurring any karmic consequences!

At this point, a sharp aura rose from the Tongtian Sect Leader, filled with murderous intent, and one could vaguely see the splendor of Pangu wielding his axe to slay three thousand demon gods!

"I am ashamed to have troubled you, Master!"

Li Qing bowed deeply once more, his heart filled with even greater emotion.

The Jie Sect lacked a supreme innate treasure to suppress its fortune, so the merits of the Tongtian Sect Leader needed to be transferred into the Qingping Sword to suppress the Jie Sect's fortune.

Even so, the Tongtian Sect Leader still used the merits of establishing the Jie Sect to refine a post-natal spiritual treasure, just so that Li Qing could have another trump card. How could he not be moved!

"Don't act like a child."

With a flick of his sleeve, the Tongtian Sect Leader helped Li Qing up and then took out the three beads he had obtained from Penglai Island.

"These three low-grade innate spiritual treasures are what I obtained from the Penglai Purple Mansion. They complete the set with your Limitless Pearl, and I'm giving them to you as well. Cultivate diligently in the future and attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit as soon as possible!"

Li Qing bowed respectfully and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Master!"

"Jinling, you are resolute in character. I bestow upon you the Four Symbols Pagoda, the Dragon and Tiger Ruyi, and the Seven Fragrant Chariot."

"Wudang, you have a gentle and mild temperament. I bestow upon you the Ruyi Pouch, the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword, and the Xuanhuang Bell."

……

"Xuan Tan, I bestow upon you the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl."

"Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao, you three are one, I bestow upon you the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, the Hulei Qin, and the Fulong Rope."

"The treasures destined for you have been distributed. After you have listened to my sermon for five hundred years, return to your respective caves!"

At this moment, the Tongtian Sect Leader was not in a hurry to cultivate, but instead began to preach.

Many people, however, were unsettled by the newly acquired innate spiritual treasure, thus wasting the opportunity to hear the sage preach.

Five hundred years later, the Tongtian Sect Leader's figure dissipated, but instead of going into seclusion, he left Kunlun Mountain.

As soon as the Tongtian Sect Leader left, Lingya Xian quietly approached Li Qing.

"Senior brother, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir! The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir personally refined by our Grand Master! I've heard that even someone without cultivation can attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm by consuming just one pill. Senior brother, what does this elixir taste like?"

Jin Guangxian rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Just smelling the fragrance earlier made me feel my magic power increase slightly."

Li Qing laughed and scolded, "I haven't even tasted it yet, how would I know what it tastes like? Besides, if becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal was so easy, then it wouldn't be said that anything below the Taiyi Golden Immortal level is just the foundation, and only reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal level means you've truly embarked on the path of cultivation!"

Moreover, didn't our eldest master say that this Nine-Turn Golden Elixir isn't for direct consumption, but rather for meditation and enlightenment?

"Haha, I was presumptuous. Senior brother is right. If becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal is so simple, then before the Dao Ancestor preached, there wouldn't have been only Great Luo Golden Immortals in the prehistoric world who could be called great supernatural beings."

Wu Dang, who was usually taciturn, suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Li Qing looked at her in surprise. He had heard the story of the Dao Ancestor's sermon from the Tongtian Sect Leader. However, the certainty in her words made it seem as if she had witnessed it herself!

Wu Dang chuckled lightly, offering no explanation: "Senior brother, fellow disciples, I shall take my leave."

"Senior brother, you've progressed so quickly in your Five Elements cultivation, do you have some kind of method?"

Jin Ling's mind was not on Wu Dang, but rather on Li Qing's methods.

"I use the seven emotions to influence the five elements, and I am about to explain this to you."

Li Qing smiled and returned to the cave with everyone, beginning to recount the cultivation of the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
