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

The moment Li Qing broke through to the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, the undying spiritual light he had previously gathered rose up, carrying with it his divine sense.

Although his divine sense was still suppressed by the turbid energy in this world, he could miraculously sense the long river of destiny that ran through the primordial world.

One can see countless causes and effects intertwined to form a rushing river, with splashes of light and shadow, long and short, all entangled with each other.

Li Qing's divine sense traced the river of fate upstream, witnessing the rise and fall of countless lives within it.

Mortals are like fireflies, cultivators are like stars, and great immortals are like the bright moon.

Three rays of light manifested in his destiny; the blue light was like spring thunder awakening the insects, containing boundless vitality and creative power.

The white light was as bleak as autumn frost, containing a sharp and invincible aura.

The purple light was as majestic as the heavens, containing the destructive and creative power that created the world.

The three divine lights merged into one, transforming into a clear and bright band of light that extended from the moment of its transformation.

Having traversed the East China Sea, Mount Tai, the Jie Sect, and the Yellow River, each place bears a mark.

Above the band of light, the yin and yang energies of the Tai Chi symbol circled like two fish, the golden light of the falling treasure coins appeared and disappeared, and the illusory image of the gourd of reincarnation seemed to sink and float.

The spiritual treasures bestowed by the Tongtian Sect Leader, perhaps tainted by the aura of a saint, did not manifest in the river of fate.

"In other words, as long as I don't use the Purple Lightning Hammer and the Heart-Piercing Lock, even if others deduce their effects through the River of Destiny, they won't be able to predict these magical treasures!"

A sudden realization dawned on Li Qing, and he prepared to go back and ask the Tongtian Sect Leader to cover up the Fallen Treasure Coins as well, leaving only the Taiji Talisman Seal and the Reincarnation Gourd on the surface.

The remaining few magical treasures are used as hidden trump cards to prevent others from using them to counter other magical treasures.

When Li Qing looked again, he saw countless invisible threads extending from every cause and effect in the river of fate, wrapping around his true spirit, firmly fixing him in the river, and even trying to drag him in.

Beneath Li Qing's true spirit, the previously condensed undying spiritual light formed a small boat in the torrent of the River of Destiny, supporting Li Qing's true spirit so that it would not completely sink into the depths of the River of Destiny.

"This is the limit of the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. The three flowers have not yet gathered, and one can only drift in the river of fate. Only by attaining the Great Luo Dao Fruit can one jump out of the river of fate, no longer be bound by cause and effect, and roam freely beyond heaven and earth."

No wonder those who have attained enlightenment and condensed their undying spiritual light say that the path to becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal is smooth sailing. It turns out that with the support of the undying spiritual light, the true spirit is no longer passively rising and falling, but has gained a sliver of initiative!

Li Qing's divine sense continued to explore forward, and he saw the light of destiny extending forward and disappearing into a thick fog. Behind the fog, there was a faint golden light shimmering, but it was not clear.

"This is the limit. Looking ahead, we can only continue when we reach the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal."

A sudden realization flashed through Li Qing's mind, and the state of infinitely amplified perception receded like the tide, the image of the river of fate gradually blurring in his consciousness.

Before Li Qing's divine sense completely withdrew from the River of Destiny, suddenly, a golden sun rose from behind the thick fog. Within the sun, a three-legged golden crow spread its wings, stirring up towering waves in the River of Destiny. But before a storm could form, a lotus flower quietly smoothed it out.

Before Li Qing could see clearly, his consciousness completely withdrew from the River of Destiny and returned to his ancestral aperture.

On Mount Sumeru, the Guide Daoist withdrew his palm and looked at the Zhunti Daoist beside him: "I have already pushed fate to its predetermined place. The rest is up to you, Junior Brother."

"good."

Daoist Zhunti nodded: "Since the birth of this group of little golden crows, the demon race has become increasingly unrestrained, even hiding the sun star in the ancient starry sky, intending to replace the sun star with the golden crows, which can be described as a path to death!"

The annihilation of the demon race began with Emperor Jun's ten sons! I wonder how much of my debt will be forgiven by Heaven this time!

After sighing, the Daoist Zhunti stood up from under the Bodhi tree, descended Mount Sumeru, and headed straight for the East Sea.

The guide was moving his prayer beads, and a world was slowly growing beneath him.

"The West is on the rise, but the road ahead is long and arduous. The ways of Heaven, Hongjun, and Rahu are difficult to discern!"

With a sigh, the Guide Daoist closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

In dreams, one world is born, and another world perishes.

Upon hearing two consecutive sighs, Maitreya became even more determined to cultivate diligently and bring glory to the West.

Upon realizing this, Maitreya suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, and a mysterious aura was born.

……

The turbid world at the bottom of the Yellow River reappeared in Li Qing's perception. The nine thousand-foot-tall yellow sand statues still stood majestically, and the turbid air coiled and flowed like dragons and snakes.

Looking at these nine sand statues again, Li Qing felt that they were quite different from the ones he had seen when he was in the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

"This one looks like the great god Pangu!"

Li Qing carefully examined the statue in front of him, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Although the statue before him was different from the image of Pangu who created the world that he had seen when the Tongtian Sect Leader was preaching, upon closer inspection, it did bear a striking resemblance.

"Could these nine figures all be Pangu?"

Li Qing pondered silently, but still couldn't come up with a clear answer.

Just then, a violent surge of magical power suddenly erupted from Yunxiao's body.

The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron hung above her head, radiating golden light that illuminated half of the turbid world.

Yunxiao formed hand seals, and the divine patterns all over his body flowed like swimming fish. Those divine patterns resonated with the Hunyuan Golden Bucket and echoed the winding path of turbid energy between the nine statues.

Li Qing's expression shifted, and with a flick of his finger, a wisp of pure purple energy flew out from the Nine-Turn Golden Pill, replenishing Yunxiao's energy.

"rise!"

Yunxiao comprehended the formation and understood its secrets. With a delicate shout, boundless devouring power was generated from the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, sucking in the turbid air on the ground.

As the turbid air surged, Li Qing keenly sensed a mysterious and profound energy below.

The change here also startled Zhao Gongming, who was studying the formation. He looked up and saw a beam of light suddenly shoot out from below. He subconsciously used the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl to smash it upwards, but the beam of light was knocked down.

Yunxiao let out a long breath, reached out her hand, and the ray of spiritual light floated down into her hand.

"Hmm, it looks like a formation diagram. Could it be based on turbid energy to evolve into a grand formation? If so, it would be the nemesis of those who cultivate immortality."

Zhao Gongming curiously approached. He had also studied the divine runes here and had some understanding of them, so he asked a question.

Yunxiao nodded and said, "This formation is called the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation. Its nine bends contain no straight lines, revealing the wonders of creation and the secrets of immortals. It can destroy an immortal's spirit, extinguish their soul, trap their form, damage their energy, destroy their original essence, and harm their limbs. Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal cannot escape the calamity of being reduced to mortal!"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

Zhao Gongming knew how formidable it was as soon as he heard it.

Li Qing thought to himself, "Just as I thought," and then said, "We've obtained this opportunity. Let's go; Bixiao and Qiongxiao are getting impatient!"

"good!"

Zhao Gongming and Yunxiao nodded, and the three of them flew out of this world together. Li Qing then waved his hand, and a beam of light concealed the entrance.
