The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 224 Immortal Techniques, Third Tier, Immortal Trait (Second Update)

"Who committed this crime?!"

One by one, the Earth Witch Elders hidden in the cave emerged from the void, their divine senses sweeping in all directions, trying to capture the thieves who destroyed the cave.

Unfortunately, after searching around, all they found were a bunch of bewildered rogue cultivators looking at each other, at a loss for what to do.

These independent cultivators don't seem to have such abilities.

"Could it be the work of a spy infiltrated by the demon race?" The earth shamans couldn't help but wonder.

"We shouldn't destroy this grotto-heaven. Wouldn't that make us discover its existence? Besides, Qingqiu is far more important than this grotto-heaven."

"Now that we've discovered this place, we shouldn't destroy this grotto-heaven; we should destroy Qingqiu instead."

"Could this be a trap to lure us away from our base?"

"..."

The seven Earth Shaman Elders communicated with each other in mid-air for a while, and then their auras changed and they disappeared without a trace.

However, one of the Earth Shaman Elders stayed behind, first offering words of comfort and reassurance to the many independent cultivators in the area, and then making it clear that he would find them another good place to go.

Upon hearing this, the rogue cultivators all objected.

"Elder Qing, now that this grotto-heaven is gone, why are you still forcing us to stay here?" The one who spoke was a veteran Xuanxian, who was quite prestigious among the rogue cultivators.

Therefore, it was just the right time for him to speak.

Elder Qing then explained, "This matter is confidential. For the sake of the Wu clan, please bear with us."

With those words already laid bare, the faces of the rogue cultivators present darkened considerably when they tried to brush it off with such excuses.

They believed this before, and fearing the power of the witch clan, they followed the witch clan's arrangements and settled here.

"Hmph." The rogue cultivator opened his mouth, but in the end he had nothing to say and could only let out a cold snort to show his dissatisfaction.

Since this leader of the rogue cultivators was unable to take the lead in resolving the matter, the other rogue cultivators, though helpless and wanting to fight for their freedom, ultimately had no choice but to accept their fate, considering the power of the Witch Clan.

After all, this elder of the witch clan had his eight eyes slightly narrowed, flashing with a dangerous light. If anyone were to voice any dissatisfaction at this moment, it might not be as simple as being relocated to the next grotto-heaven.

The witch clan has never been benevolent; otherwise, they wouldn't be able to become the masters of this land and contend with the demon clan.

Therefore, the scattered cultivators had no choice but to accept their fate and follow the subsequent arrangements made by the Witch Clan.

Among all these humble and obedient rogue cultivators, Luo Zu was definitely the most ordinary.

After all, his size was only so-so, and even on the smaller side compared to other independent cultivators.

After all, there are giant beasts among the rogue cultivators who have attained enlightenment, so some of them are tens of thousands of miles in size. Some of them have even cultivated the technique of changing size at will, which allows them to change their body shape to any size.

Having just achieved a breakthrough and stabilizing his own realm, Luo Zu took in the sights of many rogue cultivators, especially those rogue Xuanxian cultivators.

They can be said to be the pillars of the rogue cultivators. Most rogue cultivators can only cultivate to the level of Xuanxian at most, and then there is no way to advance further. Only those rogue cultivators who are born with the potential to become Golden Immortals can cultivate step by step and reach the level of Daluo.

These rogue cultivators represent the majority of the land. Although they cannot compare to the Lich and Demon races, they are a force that no one can ignore. If they were to gather in one place, the Lich and Demon races would be wary. Therefore, they have used many methods to minimize the possibility of these rogue cultivators forming an alliance.

Unfortunately, many things are better left unchecked than prevented. Although the Lich and Demon races have been obstructing them for years, they are ultimately difficult to prevent.

Eventually, a powerful figure will emerge from among the independent cultivators, securing a substantial amount of profit for them.

However, Luo Zu wouldn't care about these things at the moment. His mind was mostly immersed in his primordial spirit, sensing the many wonderful changes within it.

From Daoist techniques to the primordial spirit, then from the primordial spirit to the innate divine and demonic immortal body, and then from the immortal body to the primordial spirit grotto heaven, eighteen of the many second-tier immortal techniques have been promoted to the third tier. Some of the remaining techniques cannot be upgraded further, while others still need time to be deduced and accumulated.

However, the world within the pot and the ability to manipulate creation, which were of most concern to Luo Zu, did not undergo any transformation as a result and remained unchanged.

Now that he has reached the realm of the Mysterious Immortal, Luo Zu's every move is filled with the profound and mysterious charm of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

If Luo Zu were to relax even slightly, the release of these Daoist auras would be enough to alter the natural laws of a region, causing the earth to dry up, fish to fly into the sky, beasts to dive into the water, and birds to dig in the soil...

This is not the ability of a Xuanxian (a type of immortal), but rather the skill of a Jinxian (another type of immortal).

Because of his special advancement process, Luo Zu actually acquired the characteristics of a Golden Immortal first.

This characteristic is called "spirituality".

Spirituality grows from the Tao, then spreads to the natural environment, and thus influences the natural environment.

When this kind of spiritual cultivation reaches its peak, it will make the immortal techniques become spiritual. This is the ability of techniques to possess primordial spirit, a skill unique to fourth-order immortal techniques.

Of course, Luo Zu is not yet able to do such a thing, after all, he is only a Xuanxian.

He was a newly ascended Xuanxian. Although he destroyed a grotto-heaven as soon as he achieved Xuanxian status, it was not a coincidence. It was Luo Zu's intention. If it had been unintentional, the destruction of this grotto-heaven would have caused a greater commotion and more damage. Some rogue cultivators and true immortals might have been implicated and died here.

It was precisely because Luo Zu restrained himself, and because he had no choice but to restrain himself, that these elders of the Wu Clan would not have closed the case so hastily and left in such a hurry.

After all, this is a grotto-heaven, not a house. It's not easy for the Wu clan to occupy such a place, let alone manage it for so many years.

But in order to prevent Qingqiu from being exposed, they could only grit their teeth and endure it for the time being, and settle accounts with the perpetrators later.

However, if Luo Zu makes a big fuss about the destruction of this cave heaven and kills a true immortal, then it is very likely that the rogue cultivators will find an excuse to demand an explanation from the Wu tribe. At that time, the Wu tribe will naturally have to bite the bullet and investigate.

If this investigation is conducted, Luo Zu will inevitably be exposed.

The Wu Clan is, after all, a great clan of the primordial era, and no matter how capable Luo Zu is, he cannot completely hide it from them.

More trouble will arise then, and Luo Zu will inevitably suffer the consequences.

Since that's the case, Luo Zu simply "stretched," which was harmless.

Destroying this grotto would be a way to vent my anger after being under house arrest for so long.

Moreover, having just broken through to the Xuanxian realm, he indeed needed a place to release his power, which is why this cave heaven happened to be the perfect target.

This grotto-heaven is quite large. When Luo Zu's Great Dao Net covered it, he discovered that the entire grotto-heaven was tens of millions of miles wide. It could no longer be called a grotto-heaven; it should be called heaven and earth.

However, compared to the vast primordial world spanning countless light-years, it can only be called a grotto-heaven.

Luo Zu can destroy this entire cave with just a "lazy stretch," which is the power of a Xuanxian, far surpassing that of a Tianxian.
