The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Chapter 548 Completing the Mysterious Sea of ​​Heavens, the First Stage of the Lich Wars Comes to an End

What was merely a trembling World Tree in the eyes of Luo Zu was like the collapse of the heavens and the earth in the eyes of all beings in the Heart Sea. Its trembling caused a terrible upheaval in the Heart Sea, which spread to all parts of the Heart Sea, shaking the foundation of every place.

The Great Dao of the Heart Sea (which Luo Zu had some knowledge of and which evolved from it) shook the Great Dao of all realms and the rules governing their operation, making it impossible for them to remain calm.

For a long, long time.

The people were terrified, the immortals were horrified, and they could not find peace. They wanted to ask the Great King of the Heavenly Demon Realm, but His presence was nowhere to be found, and He was invisible and without a trace.

I would like to ask the only god in this mortal realm, who has also closed off the realm and forbade any living being to enter or leave.

There was also a hurried message sent to the Nine Netherworlds, seeking advice from the Ten Kings of the Nine Netherworlds regarding their cultivation levels.

However, the Ten Kings of the Nine Netherworlds were also unaware of the chaos, which caused disorder in the Nine Netherworlds and caused problems in the cycle of reincarnation. Some evil spirits who had not yet finished serving their sentences were mistakenly placed into the heavens, and their souls were not cleansed, and their memories were carried into their second lives.

This caused considerable turmoil in the heavens, a period known in history as the Rebellion of the Ghosts.

However, the chaos caused by the ghosts was only a minor matter. The real chaos was the uncontrollable turmoil of the Great Dao in the Sea of ​​the Heart, as if the originally orderly Great Dao was about to collapse at this moment.

Seeing this, the immortals also wanted to do something to remedy the situation, to restore order to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and to maintain the basic necessities of life for all living beings, preventing the matter and energy from continuing to be disordered.

Fortunately, such turmoil only remained on the surface and did not truly shake or collapse the Great Dao of the Heavens.

This situation lasted for a full three thousand six hundred years.

This turmoil finally ended after the World Tree disappeared again.

At this point, the gods, immortals, demons, and monsters of the heavens suddenly noticed a tremendous change in themselves.

However, the first to notice the changes were the palace masters of the Nine Netherworld.

The former Immortal Lord of the Five Organs, now the King of the Five Organs, discovered something while perusing the registers of all living beings.

"The lifespan of all living beings... has become longer?" the King of the Five Organs asked in surprise.

Whether they are immortals or mortal beings, their lifespans have increased significantly.

True Immortals have a lifespan exceeding 10 billion years, while Celestial Immortals have a lifespan that skyrockets to 300 billion years. As for Profound Immortals, they are naturally close to the Dao, and their lifespan is also close to the lifespan limit of the universe.

However, Xuanxian's cultivation was too high, and even the registers of beings in the Nine Netherworlds and Ten Palaces could not record everything clearly, so he could only guess at the general outline.

However, this increase in lifespan is a major event for some true immortals.

Because the use of some Taoist techniques will deplete one's lifespan, and when exploring certain dangerous places in the Void Sea, time changes unpredictably, which may cause a large loss of lifespan, losing thousands or tens of thousands of years in the blink of an eye. Even a celestial being with a lifespan of 30 billion years cannot withstand one exploration.

This also led to some celestial beings succumbing to the ravages of time and prematurely dying.

Since the beginning of the era of the Great Exploration of the Heavens from the Sea of ​​Nothingness, the number of immortals who died due to the decline of their lifespan has far exceeded the number who perished at the hands of their enemies.

Some celestial beings had bright futures and even the opportunity to become Xuanxian (mysterious immortals) and become the ancestors of various immortal families, but in the end, they could only die with regrets before their lifespans declined.

Faced with this phenomenon, no one can currently offer a solution, namely, extending lifespan. However, extending lifespan by thousands of years is simply a drop in the ocean compared to this situation.

This situation is now finally easing.

With increased lifespans, all beings will have more time to explore their future paths and will not perish prematurely, lamenting the cruelty of fate.

Because of this change, after realizing this great good thing, all living beings went from being fearful and uneasy to being overjoyed.

However, while the people were delighted, the instigator, Luo Zu, was not entirely satisfied.

He originally thought he would complete the Great Dao of Immortality, enabling immortals to live forever, but he did not expect that lifespan would still be limited.

There is one advantage, though: the arrival of the calamity is much slower.

It went from once every ten thousand years to once every million years.

However, after replenishing his heart sea with the Great Dao of Longevity, Luo Zu's cultivation level also increased slightly.

Needless to say, his lifespan is limited; as a Golden Immortal, he has no worries about lifespan.

Finally, there was no improvement in combat skills or killing techniques.

But I've gained a lot of insights into the passage of time.

The degree of control over the characteristics of Taiyi also increases accordingly.

However, this does not offer much benefit to the second stage of cultivation for Golden Immortals.

The second step of cultivation for a Golden Immortal lies in the cultivation of the second primordial spirit, enabling it to cultivate and attain the Dao, thus realizing a Dao fruit. After transforming into the Dao, one then enters the third step.

What Luo Zu needs most now is to find the opposite of the Great Dao of Existence.

Although the completion of the myriad heavens in the sea of ​​the mind does not bring him much benefit, the beings in the sea of ​​the mind will be more motivated to cultivate, and geniuses will be able to think about the Great Dao for a longer period of time, innovate cultivation methods, and even create the Great Dao.

These are all of great benefit to Luo Zu.

So while he wasn't responsible for the direct benefits, he did receive quite a few indirect benefits, which wasn't bad for him.

"It's good with more bad than good, it's really good," Luo Zu said with satisfaction.

After finishing this matter, Luo Zu did not continue his seclusion.

There are many wondrous sights in the sea of ​​the mind now, all transformed from the remnants of the Golden Immortal techniques that Luo Zu suppressed and annihilated. Some of them are still evolving towards the direction of heaven and earth. If they are completed, they may become a great world that can rival the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm.

Although the myriad heavens of the mind are being perfected, the path to the birth of a Golden Immortal is still very long.

The current deduction suggests that it will take until Luo Zu's Golden Immortal realm reaches the fifth step before the Mysterious Immortals of the Heart Sea Heavens can be freed from their shackles.

Although this matter depends on Luo Zu's efforts, he still hopes that some beings can break through the shackles and become Golden Immortals, just like the Heavenly Demon General of yesteryear.

However, His birth was unusual, and His origins came from the Great Dao of Existence of Luo Zu, so breaking Luo Zu's shackles was easy for Him.

It could even be said that He was born a Golden Immortal, but due to the limitations of Luo Zu's cultivation, He could not be a Golden Immortal from birth.

But through his hard work, he eventually attained the status of a Golden Immortal.

Unfortunately, He ultimately fell into Luo Zu's trap and met a tragic end, dying and disappearing from the world.

Luo Zu wanted to recruit prodigies, preferably human prodigies.

Unfortunately, over the years, no extraordinary talents have emerged in the myriad realms of the mind, let alone geniuses or prodigies.

After gathering his thoughts, Luo Zu began to analyze the current state of the primordial land.

The war between the Lich Kings continues, but it has shifted from the open to the covert, with the flames of war spreading throughout the world.

Furthermore, the Lich Wars have even reached the doorstep of the Holy Ones.

Take, for example, the fierce battle taking place right now in front of Kunlun Mountain's home.

The battle between Hunyuan Jindou and Feilian, one of the twelve ancient demon gods of the demon race, was naturally exceptionally exciting. Especially when it fell into the eyes of the Golden Immortal, it was even more mysterious and wonderful.

The great battle of magic at Jinxian Temple was truly like a gourmet smelling delicious food, a scholar seeing the original Lanting Preface, and Lü Bu paying homage to his adoptive father.

We must not miss a single glance; we must observe carefully and ponder deeply.

However, the Great Luo Contest also has its limitations. Although it is dazzling and colorful, and can exhaust the Great Dao, it can reflect on one's own Great Dao and allow one to see and hear many profound and mysterious principles of the Great Dao. However, what one sees in the contest has a kind of "sharpness". If one does not carefully resolve it, these insights may very well backfire and even destroy one's own foundation.

However, Luo Zu had a solution: he only needed to refine these insights into the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and all killing intent and the Great Luo Imprint would be shattered.

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation doesn't necessarily have to destroy some physical objects; such insights and understandings can also be extracted, and even a few words can be dispelled and resolved.

Therefore, this kind of sword formation is really useful and has a wide range of applications.

When Luo Zu watched the magical duel on Mount Kunlun, he felt a great deal of admiration for them.

Firstly, regarding that Hunyuan Golden Cauldron, it was truly a good brother, able to shoulder responsibilities for him, and the battle lasted a long time, unlike other spiritual treasures, which would immediately give up without the support of their master's Great Dao power. It was able to fight against an ancient demon god for so long, how could Luo Zu not admire it?

Moreover, the fact that He can do this actually indicates that He has reached the point where He can shed His shell.

However, it is the Primordial Golden Cauldron, and the fundamental Dao it carries is quite special. It needs to find a good opportunity to shed its shell, otherwise it will not be able to carry many of the spiritual restrictions on its body.

This is definitely not the outcome He wanted, which is why He went to great lengths to find ways to shed His body and reincarnate.

The second person I admire is the Flying Demon God. I wonder how much courage the Heavenly Court gave him to fight so desperately in front of the Sage's mountain gate. Wasn't he a little scared and afraid that the Sage would take action and kill him?

Perhaps it was given by the Primordial Chaos Realm of the Eastern Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor.

We haven't seen the Eastern Emperor, the Heavenly Emperor, or the Primordial Saint engage in combat, so we can't be sure if they are truly equal to the Saint.

As Luo Zu pondered this, the magical duel on Mount Kunlun suddenly came to an abrupt end.

What happened?

Before Luo Zu could react, a pale yellow light fell into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Senior Hunyuan Jindou?" Luo Zu asked in surprise.

"Luo boy, stop talking too much nonsense. Fei Lian, stop fighting me. It's not like we've already decided who's the winner," Hunyuan Jindou scolded.

Luo Zu could clearly see the anger in His heart, but he did not expect that Hunyuan Jindou could not control his emotions.

After all, they are great cultivators who have lived for countless years, so controlling their emotions is not too difficult for them.

Although the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron was created by the Shangqing Sage when he attained the Hunyuan realm, the year of its creation is both considered to be that time and not that time. It can be traced back to the beginning of the primordial world or it can fall into the end of the primordial world. In short, there are many mysterious things hidden in it, which are difficult for anyone other than Hunyuan to understand.

However, the Hunyuan Golden Bucket did not "exist" for very long, but it witnessed and experienced many things.

Therefore, there must be a reason why this emotion could not be controlled and has been released now.

And this reason can only fall on Fei Lian.

Luo Zu wanted to examine him, but Fei Lian was shrouded in mysterious light, so Luo Zu's divine eyes could not see through him.

However, Hunyuan Jindou wanted to clear his name and then revealed the reason: "This guy is too unreasonable. He actually borrowed the power of a spiritual treasure, causing me to lose the battle."

Well, that's the reason. A contest of skills is all about the winner taking all, so why get indignant over a few trivial matters?

They only care about winning; they don't care what means they use.

"I'm so angry, so angry!" Hunyuan Jindou seemed even angrier, his anger rising higher and higher, still furious and embarrassed.

However, Fei Lian did not make any boastful remarks and continued to organize people to blockade Kunlun Mountain.

This ancient demon god was truly stubborn, and he was worthy of the Heavenly Court. Under such circumstances, he was still able to calmly deal with the situation in front of the Sage's Mountain Gate and resolutely carry out the mission sent by the Heavenly Court.

Perhaps this is why the Heavenly Court sent Him to this place—He was impartial, fearless, and unafraid of power.

There may be many such figures among the demon race, but few have achieved the Great Luo status.

"Senior Hunyuan Jindou, if that's the case, then the Flying Demon God has suffered a defeat."

Luo Zu wanted to say something to comfort him, but was interrupted by Hunyuan Jindou.

"Defeat is defeat, and you don't need to make excuses for me. Feilian has a spiritual treasure to help him, but I don't have a Great Luo to help me. This is the difference between me and Him. I deserve to lose." Hunyuan Jindou's words suddenly calmed down.

Perhaps His mind works differently from ordinary people, and He can understand things much faster than most.

"I've let you down, senior," Luo Zu said apologetically.

"Hmph, none of your business." Hunyuan Jindou was clearly still resentful, but it wasn't directed at Luo Zu.

"Bixiao is calling me, so I will return to her side for now. If there is a chance in the future, I will explore the primordial world with you again," Hunyuan Jindou then said.

Luo Zu naturally couldn't forcefully stop him, even though the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron was indeed a great help.

Then the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron once again pierced through the void and escaped from the demon clan's great formation outside Kunlun Mountain.

This time, however, the demon god Feilian did not stop him.

Perhaps they have already discussed it with each other.

These top-grade innate spiritual treasures are incredibly time-consuming. Their physical bodies are indestructible, and the true spirits that are integrated with them are even more difficult to destroy. Unless the spirits achieve perfect merit and actively shed their shells, it is impossible to destroy them.

No, that's not right. There's another way: the destruction of the universe, which would then lead to their destruction.

After seeing off the Hunyuan Golden Bucket, Luo Zu no longer had any interest in going out and focused on cultivating in the Kunlun Mountains.

In addition, we will explore the universe and spacetime of "future humans" and wait for the right moment to prove this universe.

Winter passed and autumn came, and another three thousand years had passed.

Luo Zu celebrated his birthday once, and it was a true birthday celebration, unlike those emperors who simply used that title to celebrate their birthdays.

In the primordial world, there was no custom of celebrating birthdays. Everyone was busy with their careers and cultivation. Birthdays were just trivial matters, so why make a big fuss about them, let alone treat them as something very important and create so much formality?

However, in these three thousand years, many things have happened in the world.

After all, there were quite a few who wanted to stir up trouble in the Lich War, including Taiyi and Daluo. So even though Luo Zu "washed his hands of the business," there were other Golden Immortals who were used by some Daluo to sabotage the Lich and Demon races.

However, the primordial wilderness was so vast, with towering mountains and mighty rivers, that even the Golden Immortal Luo Zu could not fathom its true nature. He only occasionally heard some disciples of the three religions mention that so-and-so was stroking a tiger's beard and was being hunted down by the witch and demon races.

These things were the seasoning for Luo Zu's cultivation in the Kunlun Mountains.

Of course, he has many other factors to consider. The Upper Cave Man has now rebuilt his home and started a new round of civilization construction. The millennium plan has long been on the agenda.

Because of their inexhaustible energy and their different daily routines compared to other races, the Upper Cave Man not only practiced cultivation but also researched various cultivation "technologies".

This further enriched the civilization of the Upper Cave Man tribe.

Furthermore, it continuously broadened the horizons of the Upper Cave Man.

If the advancement of realm is vertical, then the expansion of the caveman's realm is horizontal, filling many gaps in the initial realm created by the Ancestor of Luo.

These blank spaces were something even Luo Zu couldn't have imagined.

So, this is the wisdom of ordinary people.

However, the most important event that happened in these three thousand years was not the development of tribal civilization, but this particular juncture in those three thousand years.

The primordial sky suddenly cracked open again.

Three mysterious forces poured out from the crack into the primordial world.

At the same time, the Feilian Demon God, who had been besieging Kunlun Mountain, suddenly withdrew all his demons.

Suddenly, a voice rang in Luo Zu's mind.

"The opportunity has arrived."

The empty shell of that supreme spiritual treasure from the cosmic spacetime of "future humans" sent a message.
