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

"Sitting here, I witness the eternal spring of the primordial world; in the cold furnace, I watch the ashes of calamity newly rise."

The Five Elements are refined to return to the origin, and the One Qi is condensed to return to the original nature.

The world is cooked in the pot of sun and moon, and the universe is turned in the sleeve of yin and yang.

From this day forward, I will gradually ascend to the Great Luo Heaven, and will no longer inquire about the dust of eons in the mortal realm.

Li Qing smiled slightly and began to recite a poem.

Lingya Xian was no fool: "My senior brother only began cultivating to the second stage ten thousand years ago, and he's already succeeded? I wonder if I can break through to the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal in this one Yuanhui!"

Jin Guangxian was also speechless with astonishment.

Now that he has broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, he naturally knows how difficult it is to condense the innate Qi after the Five Qi Converges.

For an ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal, it would take tens of thousands of years just to cultivate the Five Elements to perfection, and then to cultivate the Primordial Qi, which would often take only a few thousand years. This speed is nothing short of astonishing!

The two men cupped their hands and smiled, "Congratulations, Senior Brother, on mastering the Innate Qi and breaking through to the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm! Your path to immortality has taken another step forward, and the Great Luo realm is within reach!"

"Haha, but I've taken another step forward on the path to becoming a Taiyi Golden Immortal, though I'm still a long way from becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal!"

Li Qing rubbed the little panda's head and smiled, "During my years of seclusion, has anything happened on Mount Kunlun?"

The two of them had quite a bit to say about this.

"While you've been in seclusion, Senior Brother, Mount Kunlun has been quite lively! Master has taken in another batch of disciples, and now our Jie Sect has more than three hundred disciples."

Li Qing raised an eyebrow. Three hundred disciples—this number wasn't much for the entire Kunlun Mountain range, but it was quite a lot for the main branch of Kunlun Mountain, the place where the Three Pure Ones resided.

Sure enough, Jin Guangxian continued, "Over the years, we have also had dealings with the Chan Sect. It's because some of the disciples who joined the sect later had some karma on their hands that the Chan Sect disciples started to complain."

"That guy, Chang Er Ding Guangxian, has shown quite a sense of public duty these past few years, standing up for them on several occasions."

Li Qing's eyes darkened. Over the years, he had always felt that Chang Er Ding Guangxian's future betrayal was not a simple matter.

"Is Master in the mountains?"

"He went out again a few days ago."

"Oh, right, senior brother, there's one more thing."

Lingya Xian took out a jade slip from his sleeve.

"This was entrusted to me by Junior Brother Xuantan to give to you. A few days ago, Junior Sister Yunxiao suddenly sensed an opportunity in the primordial world, and they have already gone there."

Li Qing took the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense. However, the voice inside was not Zhao Gongming's, but Yunxiao's gentle voice.

"Greetings, Senior Brother. I recently had a sudden inspiration and sensed an opportunity in the Primordial World. I imagine that you have been in seclusion for a long time and are now eager to explore. If you have some free time, why don't we travel together through the Primordial World?"

"Um."

Li Qing felt a little strange. He put away the jade slip, stopped chatting with Lingya Xian and the other two, and transformed into a stream of light to fly out of Kunlun Mountain.

"Senior brother has gone down the mountain to travel again. Last time, he went down the mountain at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and when he came back, he broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and even comprehended the Dao Heart. The path to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm was smooth sailing. This time, will he come back already having achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"

Jin Guangxian stared blankly at Li Qing's figure for a while, then suddenly blurted out a sentence that stunned Lingya Xian as well.

"Huh? A Great Luo Golden Immortal? Even if Senior Brother has high comprehension, it would still take him several eons to comprehend this!"

Lingya Xian suddenly lost interest in playing chess: "Forget it, let's go cultivate!"

……

Along the banks of the Yellow River, the human race had gradually developed, with numerous tribes scattered like stars, generating a surge of worldly dust and turbidity.

"Sister, is this the place you sensed as the location of this opportunity? How come I sense everything too?"

Qiongxiao looked at the Yellow River flowing into the sea before her, quite puzzled.

Yunxiao frowned, his handsome brows furrowed. The turbid energy generated by the human race here greatly suppressed the pure spiritual energy of the immortal cultivators. His originally accurate inspirations became intermittent, making it impossible to find the source of opportunities.

"I sensed it was here before, but now I can't say for sure if it is."

"That's alright, we can go down into the Yellow River and search slowly."

Looking down at the surging Yellow River, Zhao Gongming stroked his beard and smiled, comforting the others, "Opportunity? If it doesn't involve some trials and tribulations, what kind of opportunity is it?"

Look at Senior Brother Xuanqiong. Back then, when he obtained the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd from Ancestor Hongyun, he got involved with Donghuang Taiyi, Ancestor Minghe, Ancestor Kunpeng, several Ancestral Witches and Master. In the end, even Grandmaster came out. Only then did he finally obtain that top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

"Our luck isn't even as good as Senior Brother Xuanqiong's, how could we possibly obtain this opportunity so easily? There might be some twists and turns along the way, and we might need someone to come to our rescue!"

"We cultivators are most afraid of words coming true. Brother, you shouldn't say anything more. Let's just get this opportunity safely and return to Kunlun Mountain as soon as possible to see if Senior Brother Xuanqiong has emerged from seclusion!"

Yunxiao immediately stopped Zhao Gongming: "But what you said makes sense, brother. Let's go explore the Yellow River. The opportunity should lie in the river."

"Alright."

The four of them used a water-avoidance spell to part the waves and dive to the bottom of the Yellow River.

The river water was murky, carrying with it a foul atmosphere as it flowed, which suppressed the four people's spiritual senses to the extreme.

"The air here is so stuffy!"

Yunxiao frowned, raised her fair hand, and the celestial light of Shangqing protected the four of them. Looking around, she saw a cloud of turbid and malevolent energy rising from the ground.

"But I can sense that the opportunity lies here."

After entering the water, Yunxiao vaguely sensed an opportunity again.

"Since we're here, let's go explore!"

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Gongming unleashed the brilliant light of the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, freezing the surrounding water flow.

Yunxiao nodded, summoned the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, and absorbed all the turbid energy into it, slowly opening up a path leading underground.

"Oh dear, another one's come to their death!"

While Huanghe Hebo Bingyi was getting intimate with the clam maiden he had obtained from the East Sea, he suddenly sensed that someone had broken into the warning formation he had set up.

"The opportunities within the Yellow River belong to me, the River God; how dare I allow outsiders to interfere!"

Bingyi snorted coldly and pushed away the clam maiden clinging to him: "You wait here. I, the River God, will deal with these people before I come to favor you!"

"Lord River God, please return soon!"

The clam maiden, with her alluring eyes and soft, watery body, playfully flirted with Bingyi.

Bingyi strode away, riding the white tortoise and manipulating the water flow towards the great formation.

As Zhao Gongming and his companions were descending, suddenly, an undercurrent surged from the bottom of the Yellow River, spewing out a stream of turbid air that instantly swept them away.

Bingyi's eyes darted between Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao, his gaze filled with undisguised greed.

Yunxiao was gentle and graceful, Bixiao was lively and vivacious, Qiongxiao was beautiful and gorgeous, and Bingyilong was inherently lewd, his mouth almost watering.

"Where did this cultivator come from, daring to spy on the opportunities of this River God in the Yellow River?"
