The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 213 The Great Immortal from Overseas, Dong Gong, Gathers a Group of Immortals; A Hundred Years Pass Quickly in the Nine Heavens (First Update)

The Tao is inherently pure and natural.

In front of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, Luo Zu first took out a magical artifact that resembled both a cauldron and a furnace, with a snake-shaped, winding blue stone rod attached to its belly, and began to refine it. Its appearance was strange and unusual. It was a magical artifact that a celestial being had refined for millions of years. Although it was called a magical artifact, it was only because it contained a lot of spiritual energy that it could support the celestial being in performing one of his immortal techniques, and help to increase its power three times, and add some extraordinary abilities.

Luo Zu naturally didn't feel bad about such a magical treasure, so he used it as teaching material.

However, the material of this magical artifact is quite good. It was forged from the core of a gold and stone vein mined and refined by this celestial being. It possesses its own unique wonders and can manifest many supernatural powers on its own. It's just a pity that this celestial being damaged it during the forging process, causing it to lose its original wonders.

"What a pity," Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao sighed.

They were also independent practitioners of Aibao.

That's not right either; no rogue cultivator doesn't love treasures.

"However, if you were to forge a magic weapon for me... it would be difficult to produce a good one." Xiao Sheng then shook his head again.

He was self-aware enough to know that although he had obtained a spiritual treasure, he was not a rogue cultivator skilled in crafting artifacts. Even with the treasure-crafting techniques passed down by Ancestor Luo, he probably wouldn't be able to craft anything of value.

The same applies to Cao Bao.

Talent in crafting artifacts is quite mysterious. Some people are highly intelligent and have wildly imaginative minds, yet they still find it difficult to craft a good treasure. Others are dull-witted and slow-witted, yet they can craft a magical artifact from a handful of sand with a single stroke.

There are still many differences between practitioners, which are differences in talent and ability.

Of course, independent cultivators usually have to be knowledgeable in everything. Even if they are not good at weapon crafting, they still need to know how to craft weapons and also know how to refine pills.

One should be rudimentary in many methods that aid in spiritual practice.

After all, not every rogue cultivator is as "overpowered" as Luo Zu.

Luo Zu was extremely skilled at refining magical restrictions, easily completing the refinement of a magical restriction within three days, drawing the spiritual energy of the magical artifact to slowly settle onto the restriction.

As spiritual energy gathered, this restriction also changed, and a new restriction was created on its own.

This new restriction is brand new, similar to the original restriction, yet different, just like... it is the baby it was conceived and born.

Upon seeing this, Luo Zu naturally smiled slightly. This was exactly what he had expected. The magic weapon could spontaneously generate its own restrictions and "cultivate" itself; this was the true ability of a magic weapon.

Otherwise, he would have to refine the magic weapon himself, which would be no different from a magic artifact.

Just like his Nine-Rank Lotus Platform, it now breathes in and out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, and even hunts some microscopic creatures in the world to absorb their extremely weak spiritual energy, which can be considered a process of accumulating little by little.

In this way, even if these magical treasures are separated from him, they will not lose their spirituality and will not be downgraded.

Of course, this newly acquired magic weapon is not yet properly trained. It only contains magical restrictions, which are not yet complete magic restrictions. It needs to be refined and polished many times before it can be fully developed.

It wasn't even an adult yet, so Luo Zu couldn't make it settle down and start a family immediately.

"How wondrous!" Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao exclaimed in unison.

In truth, they weren't particularly moved. After all, this was the first time they had ever seen such a weapon-refining technique, and they didn't understand its intricacies. They were even less clear about the methods required to achieve this level.

But since Luo Zu showed a smile, there must be something mysterious and wonderful about it, so they naturally had to support Luo Zu, since Luo Zu was passing on his teachings to them.

During their time with Luo Zu, they also learned that Luo Zu was not a Xuanxian (a type of immortal), but a Tianxian (another type of immortal).

An extraordinary celestial being.

They also greatly admired Ancestor Luo, because Ancestor Luo not only taught them the art of weapon forging, but also the art of Qi refining.

Although this method only leads to the Celestial Immortal realm, it was still the method that Ancestor Luo shared without holding anything back.

"Fellow Daoist has also made distinctions in realms and established conclusions on cultivation for false immortals, which is of great kindness to all cultivators in the world." Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao bowed in admiration.

"I hope that you two fellow Daoists will spread this message widely, so that cultivators in the world will not be trapped in this situation," Luo Zu then added.

"Definitely, definitely." The tiger-headed and sheep-headed creature readily agreed.

Although they have the cunning of independent cultivators, they are inherently kind. Given the great virtue of Ancestor Luo, they would naturally not keep this method hidden.

"Fellow Daoist, if we were to take on disciples in the future, would you be willing to pass on this technique?" Xiao Sheng asked.

Luo Zu replied, "Yes."

Although this is the lineage passed down by Luo Zu, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao are happy to use this method as their own practice method. He will not stop them, but is happy. This shows that more practitioners will recognize this method and use it as their main practice method, rather than as an auxiliary reference.

Good things are indeed recognized by everyone.

Luo Zu thought to himself.

After passing on his skills in weapon crafting and Qi refining, and having met the renowned Luo Bao Jin Qian (a legendary gold-plated treasure), Luo Zu bid farewell to Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.

"Nowadays, there are witches and demons fighting in various parts of the prehistoric world. Fellow Daoist, you should find a place to cultivate for a few years and avoid this calamity," Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao advised.

But Luo Zu's mind was made up to leave, and he would not waver because of this.

After all, he had traveled through the most intense battle in Dayi Township and personally experienced the start of the war between the witches and demons. How could the battles in other witch townships compare to those in Dayi Township?

So he was fearless and continued on his way.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, I've heard that there's a great immortal named Dong Gong overseas who wants to gather rogue cultivators to form an alliance. We'll be going when the time comes. Will you go?" Xiao Sheng brought up another important matter.

"I wonder when it was?" Luo Zu asked, naturally curious.

Xiao Sheng replied, "About 100,000 years from now."

Luo Zu nodded: "When I arrive at Buzhou Mountain, I will definitely go overseas to witness this grand event."

Ten thousand years—the ancient beings really didn't take time seriously.

That's normal, though. Even a Xuanxian would have to fly for thousands or even tens of thousands of years to reach overseas from here, while a Jinxian can simply break through the void and arrive at their destination instantly.

Therefore, 100,000 years may still be a bit short.

The "Great Immortal Dong Gong" mentioned by Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao is probably the famous Dong Wang Gong.

This guy was a formidable character, but unfortunately he was born in the wrong era.

These are the years when the lich is the protagonist, and if He makes such a move, He's likely to suffer.

So there will definitely be a big show then, and Luo Zu certainly can't miss it.

"Then we'll meet again overseas."

Mountains and rivers may meet again, but the two must part ways here.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Luo Zu has traveled at faster-than-light speed for another hundred years.

His cultivation never stopped, and his spiritual level continued to rise, reaching the sixth, seventh, and even ninth level.

The Dao Seeds that were conceived amounted to 365, and 54 Great Immortal Techniques and 365 Second-Order Immortal Techniques were refined.

The power of such great immortal techniques as "Fleeting Beauty" was thus greatly enhanced.

In addition, there are 83,000 lower-level Great Daos derived from the 365 Dao Seeds. Of course, these "lower-level" Great Daos are also under different jurisdictions. One Dao Seed is related to 365 "lower-level" Great Daos, but there is overlap among the "lower-level" Great Daos, so the total number has not reached more than 100,000 Great Daos.

Because Luo Zu has now cultivated 83,000 Great Daos, his inner demons and tribulations have also increased accordingly...

In the past hundred years, the Heavenly Demon Realm within the pot has accumulated 5,400 inner demon tribulations.

But the Demon Realm also became more "perfect" as a result.

Now, the intrusions into the human world and the netherworld are becoming increasingly severe.

However, these are not the focus of Luo Zu's current cultivation.

What he was truly concerned about was a major matter concerning the cultivation of immortal techniques.

He wants to weave the 83,000 Great Daos derived from these 365 Dao Seeds into a network.

If we connect them together, we can surely create even more wonderful changes.

According to Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, and as Toad Koukou said, Celestial Immortals establish Dao and form Dao Seeds, while Mysterious Immortals hold the Dao and give birth to Dao Trees. The "Dao Tree" is based on the Dao Seed and the Great Dao, with the other "lower" Daos as branches and details. This process spreads throughout the entire Dao Seed and Great Dao, which is considered holding the Dao.

Generally, one only needs one hundred and eight "lower-level" Great Daos to be a Daoist master, as was the case with Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.

Luo Zu, however, possessed 365 "lower-level" Great Daos, and also 365 Dao Seeds...

Putting aside the amount of increase in cultivation level, the difficulty alone would likely cause even the top geniuses of the Lich and Demon races to perish.

Therefore, Luo Zu devised another method.
