The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Am I Yuanzi of the Primordial Town?

Luo Zu sensed that there was a scheme involved, or that someone was plotting against someone.

He was also considering another possibility, recalling some books from his previous life, many of which featured acts of substitution, and some even used this as a method of cultivation, seeking emptiness through reduction and transforming existence into nothingness.

In this way, one can see a higher realm.

Zhen Yuanzi has now attained the Dao Realm of Quasi-Saint of Hunyuan. What realm should he seek?

Only the Primordial Saint could be the answer, but this was merely a guess by Luo Zu.

However, Zhen Yuanzi did not allow him to speculate any further. Instead of playing the riddle-maker, he directly explained, "The Heavenly Dao decrees that all those who leave the Primordial World must return the cultivation they gained there."

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu felt strange. He had never heard of this decree of Heaven before, and he had already opened up his primordial spirit universe, which meant he was half-detached from the prehistoric world. Why didn't this request fall on his head?

Could it be that he was only partially separated, with his physical body and primordial spirit still residing in the primordial world, only his true spirit went to the primordial spirit universe, thus becoming a remote controller of his physical body, and therefore different?

What the Primordial Heavenly Dao wanted to retain was his physical body and primordial spirit cultivation.

The reasons behind this are certainly not trivial, but Luo Zu could not understand them, and Zhen Yuanzi did not explain further. He simply continued to say, "I have already passed down the lineage of Earth Immortals in the Primordial World. Only in this way can I offset the debts I owe to the Primordial World and go to the Outer Heavens to open up the Earth Immortal Realm."

"The reason why Fellow Daoist west Wangmu cannot escape now lies in this. Therefore, Fellow Daoist should make plans as soon as possible so that she can leave this world in the future. Our method of attaining the Dao of Hunyuan is not in the primordial world, but only in the chaos." Zhen Yuanzi said the second half of this sentence to Luo Zu.

"As for this Book of Earth, it is the essence of the changes in the creation of the primordial world. It has the function of recording the primordial world. I must not take it away. I only borrowed it temporarily when I created the world. Now it should be returned to the primordial world. As for asking you to transform into Zhen Yuanzi of the primordial world, it was just a joke. You can use any name you want after you get this treasure," Zhen Yuanzi said leisurely.

He is indeed much more relaxed now, after all, he has attained the Hunyuan realm and no longer needs to worry about those Hunyuan attacking him.

"But didn't the Eastern Emperors also attain Hunyuan?" Luo Zu then questioned.

Zhen Yuanzi chuckled and said, "It is driven by the general trend, what can we do? Their attainment of Hunyuan is truly the mandate of heaven. We are merely a few who follow suit. How can we be subject to the general trend, or attain the Hunyuan?

Zhen Yuanzi is indeed much more assertive now, openly discussing these topics related to the great trends of heaven and earth right here in the primordial world.

"Where does the key to attaining Hunyuan lie?" Luo Zu couldn't help but ask.

"It is firstly about momentum, secondly about method, thirdly about strength, fourthly about fate, and fifthly about nothingness." Zhen Yuanzi did not continue to hide anything and directly pointed it out.

"Zhen Yuanzi, it's too early. Why reveal so much?" The Queen Mother of the West's gentle voice followed.

These five directions should be the result of the deductions and summaries of the Great Luo Wuji in the primordial world over a long and infinite space-time. With the sharing of the previous Hunyuan Dao attainers, these directions have been completely completed.

"If we had known this earlier, we could have started cultivating earlier and modified and refined our cultivation methods. That would have been better than us regretting it now," Zhen Yuanzi said.

It was not a mistake to pass this information on to Luo Zu, after all, his cultivation level was not low enough to be so low as to be unable to withstand this information and perish on the spot.

"Having finished our idle chatter, it's time to get down to business with you, fellow Daoist. I wonder if you know your own position and circumstances?" Zhen Yuanzi said to the Queen Mother of the West in a very serious and earnest manner.

The Queen Mother of the West did not answer; she remained silent.

Luo Zu then had to interject, "Seniors, should I excuse myself?"

This topic was so sensational that Luo Zu wanted to avoid it, lest he hear something outrageous and be remembered by some important figure.

After all, there is no one in this world who knows everything but Heaven, Earth, you, and me. It is Heaven, Earth, and He who know everything. You and I may not even know as much as He does. So, if you don't avoid it, you will inevitably be drawn into it.

"Yes, fellow Daoist is right." Zhen Yuanzi nodded with a smile.

Then, with a flick of his sleeve, he sent Luo Zu out of this dimension.

Luo Zu's vision blurred for a moment, and the scenery of Yaochi returned to his eyes. The pair of crane boys were beside him, leading the way and introducing the various stories of the Queen Mother of the West's Yaochi dojo.

Luo Zu listened in a daze, but didn't miss a single word. As for what kind of conversation Xi Wangmu and Zhen Yuanzi would have, or what kind of schemes they might have, he didn't intend to think about it, nor did he feel any regret. After all, some things are truly things you can't hear in your lifetime, so cherish them while you can.

The ginseng fruit had already been absorbed into his primordial spirit, floating and sinking within it, emitting inexplicable fluctuations. These fluctuations contained many profound Dao principles, and even though Luo Zu had not "consumed" it, the effect was almost the same.

If given more time, he might be able to refine this ginseng fruit and immediately attain the Taiyi realm.

With his current foundation, "swallowing" this ginseng fruit would not have such side effects. His future path remains bright, neither bumpy nor hopeless.

There will be no shortage of progress. After Taiyi comes Daluo, after Daluo comes Daluo Wuji, and then comes Hunyuan.

Luo Zu did not stay at the scenic spot of Yaochi for long, and He Tong and He Zi also received a message from the Queen Mother of the West, knowing that the two had met. So when Luo Zu said he was leaving, they sent him down Yaotian Peak in Xikunlun.

It is said that Luo Zu also saw many cultivators under the Queen Mother of the West in the Yaochi Dojo, including disciples and former followers of the immortal sects. Among them, the famous one was the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

This Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was born from the Old Nine Heavens and was also a primordial deity. However, she suffered a calamity and her true spirit was destroyed. She had to wait 300 million years to be resurrected and return. But by then, the Old Nine Heavens had been occupied by the Demon Race's Heavenly Court. She was unwilling to submit to the Demon Race, so she descended to the mortal realm on her own. However, when she descended to the mortal realm, she had many entanglements and battles with the Demon Race, which created enmity. Therefore, she was repeatedly hunted down.

They were fortunate enough to encounter the Eastern King Duke and the Western Queen Mother, who protected them and saved them from being wiped out by the demon race.

Since the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden harbored a deep-seated hatred for the demon race, and now that the demon race was powerful, she no longer traveled outside, but remained in Kunlun Mountain to guard the scenic beauty of Yaochi for the Queen Mother of the West.

However, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's cultivation level is not the highest here; she is currently only at the Taiyi level, still quite a distance from the Daluo level.

The one with the highest cultivation here is Zhu Ai, who comes from the Vermilion Bird Clan and has already entered the Great Luo Realm.

The origin of Zhu Ai is also quite interesting. The Zhuque clan is rather special. Although the Zhuque is a race under the Phoenix clan, its origin is a being that no living being in the primordial world dares to mention casually - the Great God Zhuque.

Along with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, it is one of the four sacred deities of the east, west, south, and north, and is an important pillar of the primordial world, as important as Mount Buzhou.

These four individuals naturally possess extremely high cultivation levels and are favored by the Primordial Heavenly Dao. With the support of the great forces, their strength is naturally extraordinary. If the four of them join forces, they might be able to fight against a Quasi-Saint of the Primordial Chaos.

However, since the three races of dragon, phoenix, and qilin fought for supremacy in the past, these four great gods have also disappeared without a trace. They have not appeared even after the prehistoric world has been destroyed many times, which makes people feel very strange, but no one dares to investigate them casually.

After all, there were once primordial beings who, after hearing their legends, wanted to follow them. They traveled all over the primordial world, roamed the four seas, explored the deepest abysses, and entered and exited the nine heavens, but in the end, they all met a tragic end of extinction.

The reasons for this are now difficult to verify; all that is known is that the four sacred deities of the primordial world have entered a realm that is unknowable, invisible, unsearchable, and unspeakable.

The four cardinal directions (east, south, west, and north) can be used as substitutes. (End of Chapter)
