The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 523 Dimensional Reduction Attack, Crossing the Two-Dimensional Foil

Chaos reigned, clouds churned, and colorful light surged, as if dragons were moving and tigers were roaring.

Xuan Du, who had just emerged from seclusion, was about to come and discuss metaphysics with Luo Zu when he was suddenly turned away by this strange phenomenon.

Within this strange phenomenon was a sense of sharp annihilation, which He understood to be the Luo Ancestor refining a killing technique.

But after sensing it repeatedly, he found it somewhat similar to the Daoist teachings of his own senior master, the Sage Shangqing.

"Could it be that Fellow Daoist Luo Zu has gained the favor of Master Shangqing and has already joined his sect?" Xuandu couldn't help but think.

Seeing that Luo Zu was deeply engrossed in practicing his magic, Xuan Du did not disturb him, but simply observed the situation from the entrance of the cave.

However, after observing for a while, He felt that something was not right. This should not be a cultivation method, but rather a sign of crossing the second step of the Golden Immortal realm.

However, there were no extraordinary phenomena in the second step of the Golden Immortal realm. It was merely the refinement of the second divine soul, which, according to Ancestor Luo, was the second primordial spirit. Then, a true spirit was nurtured on the basis of the second primordial spirit.

After waiting for a while, a ghostly figure emerged from the cave and came into view. The figure captivated the soul of the being without the person's awareness.

If it weren't for Luo Zu's call, His mind would have been completely consumed by it, unable to extricate Himself.

"Fellow Daoist has cultivated a fine primordial spirit," Xuandu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

Upon hearing this praise, Luo Zu was pleased: "Fellow Daoist, you flatter me."

Then, Luo Zu's second primordial spirit invited Xuan Du into the cave for a talk.

Once inside the cave, Xuandu recounted his cultivation experiences over the past few years.

"Some fellow Daoists say that the fourth step of the Golden Immortal realm is the most difficult, but in my opinion, the second step is the most difficult, as difficult as ascending to heaven now," Xuandu sighed.

He had a point in saying that it was as difficult as ascending to heaven now. After all, with the war between the Lich King and the Demon King, let alone rogue cultivators, even those with powerful backers shouldn't even dream of going to heaven to play around.

Of course, this is just talk; if He really wanted to go to the heavens to collect starlight, the Heavenly Court wouldn't stop Him.

Luo Zu, sitting in his cave, saw Xuan Du arrive with a message. He then unleashed his Xuan light, first withdrawing his second primordial spirit, and then leisurely said, "The second step of becoming a Golden Immortal is easy to say, but difficult to do. Only the person experiencing it knows the joys and sorrows. Didn't you pass through this stage quite quickly back then, fellow Daoist?"

So Xuandu is also getting a good deal and then complaining. With the Taiqing Sage imparting the Dharma, although there will be some bumps in the Golden Immortal Dao Realm, it is clear that he can overcome them. His future prospects are absolutely limitless.

Otherwise, where would the Supreme Sage put his face?

It can't hold up.

Perhaps time and space will be reversed, and we'll be in a different Xuandu.

"Hmm, he might have changed several times already," Luo Zu thought to himself, making wild guesses.

Putting his mind at ease, Luo Zu then told Xuan Du about the Three Corpses Technique he had obtained. The story did not conceal the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, and the old man did not say that he intended to hide it.

However, in truth, Hunyuan Jindou should be younger than Luozu, since Luozu was born before Shangqing Shengren became a saint.

However, the wonders of the sages are immeasurable, which allowed the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron to undergo the passage of time and finally become the top-level innate spiritual treasure it is today, with as many as thirty-six spiritual restrictions. Only the current Donghuang Bell and a few other supreme treasures that rank at the pinnacle of the primordial spiritual treasures can compare to it.

"Such a wondrous method exists in the world, but where is this Dao Ancestor Rahu now?" Xuandu Daoist couldn't help but sigh.

"Among the stars in the heavens, there is a Rahu star whose light is quite intense and has a malevolent nature. Is it related to Him?" He also began to speculate.

After all, this is such a big deal, involving such an important person, who even debated and competed with the Dao Ancestor. It cannot be taken lightly.

Luo Zu was unaware that Rahu Star was also quite important among the stars in the heavens, with the ancient demon god Jiuying presiding over it.

He usually commands thousands of stars and connects star fields, wielding considerable power in the Heavenly Court.

But whether He is related to Rahu is hard to say.

After all, these ancient demon gods were born in a very distant era, some even existing as early as the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, like the Heavenly Emperor Donghuang. So, if we say that they are related to Dao Ancestor Rahu, perhaps they are, but it is very likely that they have no connection at all.

Moreover, somewhere in the world there might be Mount Rahu, Rahu Island, the Rahu Taoist, the Rahu bird, the Rahu beast...

They can't all be related to Rahu, can they?

At least Luo Zu wouldn't think that a creature that was accidentally named Luo Zu had any direct relationship with him.

In addition to explaining the Three Corpse Technique to Xuandu, Luozu further explained that the Three Corpse Technique, when combined with the Supreme Pure Heart Sutra, would have miraculous effects.

"Just like your second primordial spirit?" Xuandu immediately pointed out the strangeness of Luo Zu's second primordial spirit.

Generally, when people refine their second soul, it is mostly influenced by the five elements and the five directions, so it has its own profound principles. However, Luo Zu's second soul carries a killing technique. If it is used in a battle, even a Golden Immortal at the third step will be caught off guard.

Luo Zu smiled and said, "That's right, because I cut off that fundamental desire, and thus I also incorporated the wonderful techniques of the Four Swords of Zhuxian that I had comprehended earlier into it."

Luo Zu did not hide from Xuan Du the fact that he had unexpectedly "comprehended" the Four Swords of Zhuxian during the sermon of the Shangqing Sage.

"Wonderful, wonderful, truly brilliant!" Xuan Du exclaimed.

Afterwards, He inquired about the specific process of combining the Supreme Pure Heart Sutra with the Three Corpses Method, to see if He could also deduce the Supreme Pure Heart Sutra in a more elaborate way.

"There is no law in the world that is immutable for all ages, not even the law created by Master," Xuandu said with high spirits.

Seeing that He had such great ambitions, Luo Zu was naturally very encouraging.

Creating a new path requires great wisdom and perseverance, and further studying this path, exploring new avenues, and promoting its development also requires wisdom and courage. Xuan Du Dao Ren has cultivated himself to this day and has been valued by the Taiqing Sage, so he naturally has no shortage of these qualities.

Otherwise, it would have been refreshed countless times by the Supreme Sage.

Of course, this was just Luo Zu's playful thought.

He, a mere Golden Immortal, had no say in how the Supreme Saint Taiqing acted, nor could he possibly observe it.

However, during this leisurely chat, Luo Zu sent out his second primordial spirit to explain the reasons for his descent from the mountain to the Golden Spirit Mother, and then left Kunlun Mountain without any hindrance.

Unlike that Taoist Shiji, who tried to force his way down the mountain without saying a word, only to run into the "iron wall" set up by the Holy Mother Jinling and many other Great Luo Immortals, he was truly humiliated and lost face.

However, in his eagerness to save people, he disregarded all pride and left Kunlun Mountain after exchanging a few words with the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit.

Luo Zu is so cooperative and open-minded that it's actually much easier and more comfortable to break away from him.

The relationship between the second primordial spirit and Luo Zu is rather subtle. Although the connection is not shallow, it can be said that it has independent thinking. However, its thinking is still inseparable from Luo Zu's own way of thinking. Only after experiencing many events and seeing all things in the world can it gradually develop truly independent thinking. In this way, a true spirit will slowly emerge. But the most crucial point is that Luo Zu can summon it back at any time.

Otherwise, the second primordial spirit (divine soul) is very likely to break away and become an independent entity.

This is different from those clones and incarnations, because clones and incarnations can be considered extensions of the original body's "organs" and are still a part of oneself. Therefore, unless encountering special circumstances, clones and incarnations can never separate from oneself. Only when encountering someone of a much higher level and using various ingenious methods to sow discord can clones and incarnations eventually become independent.

However, this second primordial spirit does not need the help of certain important figures and has a very high probability of becoming independent.

However, once such independence is achieved, the possibility of backlash becomes extremely high.

When the backlash comes, and those with ulterior motives add fuel to the fire, even the original owner might not be able to withstand it.

Just thinking about the time-space projection that was secretly stolen from the Golden Crow Princes made Luo Zu break out in a cold sweat. If some great figure were to use this to make a move in the future, the Golden Crow Princes would truly only have the fate of being shot down by Da Yi.

Luo Zu was naturally very wary of his second primordial spirit, and even used extraordinary methods to keep it under his control.

However, he felt that training was also indispensable, as it would allow his spirituality to grow faster, and his cultivation would naturally accelerate as well.

"Why did you send out your second primordial spirit, fellow Daoist?" Xuan Du was in the cave and had naturally witnessed what Luo Zu had done, so he didn't try to hide anything or speculate. He asked directly.

"I was worried that the demons would attack my tribe, so I sent him back to Luoxiang," Luo Zu replied truthfully.

Xuandu immediately said, "Fellow Daoist, you can relocate your entire clan to Kunlun. I will go with you. What do you say?"

Xuan Du spoke sincerely, wanting to help Luo Zu on this journey.

Luo Zu waved his hand and refused, saying that this matter should not be made too public, especially since Kunlun Mountain was a key area monitored by the Heavenly Court. When the Golden Crow Princes took turns patrolling the sky, they would linger in the sky above Kunlun Mountain for a while before slowly moving away.

In addition, the demon gods who were not driven away by the great shamans of the Wu tribe will also monitor Kunlun Mountain and several key locations in the prehistoric world.

A Golden Immortal would inevitably be monitored if he came out of Kunlun Mountain, which is one of the important factors that prevented Luo Zu from descending the mountain in his true form.

In addition, unless there are special circumstances, the great formation of Kunlun Mountain will not allow passage. Since Luo Zu only sent a second primordial spirit, the Golden Spirit Mother did not take it to heart.

If Xuandu wanted to descend the mountain, the Golden Spirit Mother would probably disagree immediately.

Then he earnestly advised him that the area below the mountain was too chaotic, and even a golden immortal could not save his life.

Just like the crane boy under the Jade Purity Saint, who went down the mountain in search of an opportunity, he encountered a calamity and suffered a great disaster. To this day, he has not been able to find the "real culprit" and has not been able to be resurrected.

Xuan Du, being an honest man, will eventually be persuaded to return, and Luo Zu will certainly be unable to descend the mountain in his true form.

After Xuandu understood all this, he also summoned his second divine soul and sent it down the mountain to find Luo Zu's second primordial spirit.

Xuandu was truly kind-hearted, so Luozu agreed to his request.

Meanwhile, his second primordial spirit also turned to Buzhou Mountain, moving even faster than his original self.

At this moment, Mount Buzhou was truly "brightly lit," with dazzling colorful lights and thousands of purple clouds like waterfalls, as if the techniques of combat were being used without restraint to strike the land.

The raging waves surged and rolled, squeezing the void so much that it no longer seemed as boundless as before, but rather as if it had been pounded into a thin sheet of paper. The concept of space was reduced to a simple two-dimensional plane at this moment.

If Luo Zu were to take another step forward, he would fall into the painting of Mount Buzhou.

The intersection of multidimensional and two-dimensional space created a truly magnificent scene. The magical techniques used by the powerful beings in their battle were also exhausted here. These powerful beings were not bound by space and time, so regardless of whether it was two-dimensional, three-dimensional, or multidimensional space and time, they were all independent of each other. Only when the only fifth-order immortal technique in space and time struck them could they be harmed.

Other methods probably won't be able to harm them.

Therefore, Luo Zu's second primordial spirit did not intend to directly get involved, but instead traveled through this battlefield.

However, this battle line divides the prehistoric world in two. If you want to return to Luoxiang, you have to travel through this line. Otherwise, you will never be able to reach it. Even if you go around to the Four Seas, you still can't cross it.

Just as Luo Zu hesitated, Xuan Du's second divine soul arrived.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment." After saying this, Xuandu took out a magic treasure that looked like a narrow, flat boat from his divine soul.

"This is a feather needle shuttle, which was once used by the Queen Mother of the West for knitting and refining weapons. Later, it was given to my master, who then passed it on to me. This shuttle can now travel through this place without being affected by the unpredictable nature of time and space."

Then Luo Zu and Xuan Du landed in the small boat. Indeed, the scene of Mount Buzhou at this moment was like a vast ocean. Although it was still endless, it could not destroy their small boat. It could only drift and move freely, and it did not leave a trace. It was not affected by the various battle scenes that flashed by in the scene.

Seeing this, Luo Zu said gratefully to Xuan Du, "If it weren't for your arrival, I'm afraid I would have had to travel thousands of miles to cross this insurmountable barrier."

Xuandu waved his hand and laughed, "Fellow Daoist, although Mount Buzhou ahead is suppressed by many Great Luo Daos, its true form remains unaffected. We must be careful."

This means that Mount Buzhou was only superficially affected by this spacetime reduction. From the outside, it appeared to be compressed into this scene and was even at the center of the scene. However, the truth is that its own spacetime was not affected by the Great Dao of the Great Luo, and it still maintained its unique and independent spacetime and existence.

therefore……

Rumble!!

He is three-dimensional in this two-dimensional scroll, containing all elements, including two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and multi-dimensional.

So when Luo Zu and his companions' small boat crashed straight into Mount Buzhou, whose height and size were unknown, it almost capsized on the spot. As for avoiding it, that was absolutely impossible, because at that moment they were unaware of the vastness of Mount Buzhou. The main reason was the scenery depicted in the scroll painting of Mount Buzhou.

However, this did not prevent them from being attacked by the demon god and the celestial witch on Mount Buzhou.

It's truly unbelievable that there are demon gods and celestial witches fighting on Mount Buzhou.

Moreover, the lich and demons among them were all bloodthirsty. Even the immortals were furious when they saw their small boat ascending Mount Buzhou in the invisible void. Their magic, comparable to a third-order immortal technique, crashed down on them like waves of a vast ocean.

"Where do you think you're going, you little thief?!"

"Where do you think you're going!?"

Red, white, green, purple, yellow, blue—multicolored divine light swept across the sky.

At this moment, thanks to Mount Buzhou, they are in the same dimension as Luo Zu and the others, so they can "see" them and attack them.
