The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Perhaps it was because Luo Zu's cultivation was insufficient, his attempt to mend the sky was not as swift and decisive as in the legends of Nuwa, who could save the collapsing sky in a few strokes. He could only patch it up little by little.

Because of this, Luo Zu had no time to pay attention to what was happening in the outside world. Now, a major event has suddenly broken out on the prehistoric land.

The Three Pure Ones have separated. Lingbao Tianzun led his disciples to go overseas. All of this happened very suddenly. The Shangqing Saint Lingbao Tianzun suddenly took all his disciples away. It is unknown whether he gave prior notice or not. Perhaps he did, after all, for them, time is like a rope, which can be woven, knotted, and untied at will.

When Luo Zu received the news, the great being of Lingbao Tianzun had already disappeared from Kunlun Mountain and reached overseas.

It is unknown whether the three brothers have said goodbye, but this distance is not the same as being face to face with them. Leaving Kunlun Mountain represents an attitude.

However, Luo Zu still couldn't understand why, since Yuanshi Tianzun had already examined his past, knew about his previous life, and was well aware of the so-called primordial trend, he had to go through all this trouble.

Since Lingbao Tianzun has left, it seems that Daode Tianzun will also be leaving Kunlun Mountain.

As expected, Xuandu came to find Luo Zu with a dejected look on his face. Moreover, what came was only an avatar. His true body had already followed the Moral Celestial Venerable to Shouyang Mountain, the place where the Moral Celestial Venerable used to mine brass and refine spiritual treasures in the past.

The Celestial Venerable of Morality used the essence of copper from Shouyang Mountain to refine the body of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, a spiritual treasure in his hands. According to legend, this treasure was too mysterious and powerful, so the Celestial Venerable had to use a "mortal object" to conceal its form and spirit, otherwise it could not descend to the world, just like a cultivator.

Luo Zu was unsure whether the legend was accurate, but it was best to remain silent about matters concerning sages.

Xuandu came to say goodbye. Although the ends of the earth were only a stone's throw away for them, they were ultimately in different places. Moreover, unless there were special circumstances, he would not come to Kunlun Mountain again. The gatherings would probably be much less frequent. With less time together and more separation, the friendship would naturally fade. In the future, they would quietly stop talking too much with their casual acquaintances.

"I don't know how things got to this point. Perhaps there were signs of it back then," Xuan Du sighed helplessly.

He had long sensed that the separation of the Three Pure Ones was inevitable, but he had been deceiving himself all along.

"Fellow Daoist, you still need to look ahead. Cultivation requires a solitary heart; otherwise, you will waste your days and nights drinking and singing, neglecting your great cultivation endeavors," Luo Zu advised.

Xuan Du had not yet realized that Luo Zu had attained the Taiyi realm, but he felt that Luo Zu's body was unfathomable. Back when he was a Golden Immortal at the fifth step, he could see the location of the Great Dao and use the Great Dao Seal to see the Great Dao and know where it was. But now... there was nothing there, as if separated by a layer of time and space, and he could only see it through a projection.

However, He still believed that Luo Zu was exploring the fifth step of the Golden Immortal realm in depth, which caused this phenomenon. Moreover, His mind was entirely focused on the important matter of the Three Pure Ones' division of the family, leaving Him no time to attend to anything else. Furthermore, He sent an avatar to investigate Luo Zu's abnormality.

"Fellow Daoist, after I have settled in Shouyang Mountain, I would like to invite you to come and visit me so that we can continue our discussions on the Dao." Xuandu sent an invitation.

"Haha, since you have invited me, I will certainly go. I will also invite my other friends to come, so that we can recreate the scene of the immortals discussing the Dao at Kunlun Mountain in the past," Luo Zu said jokingly.

He naturally welcomed discussions on the Dao, especially those with his close friends. These discussions deepened their friendship and allowed him to explore the mysteries of the Dao, which brought him great joy and happiness.

"Will the Chan Sect be stationed at Kunlun Mountain from now on?" Luo Zu then asked.

"Indeed, Master Yuanshi is stationed at Kunlun Mountain so that the external sages cannot cross the river to the east and seize control of the central region of Buzhou," Xuandu said with a sneer.

He kept his displeasure bottled up inside and didn't express it.

"Fellow Daoist Xuandu, you still need to cultivate your character well once you arrive at Shouyang Mountain," Luo Zu couldn't help but advise when he saw him like this.

Xuandu was taken aback, then bowed deeply: "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Daoist. Otherwise, I would have been plagued by demonic possession and had to reincarnate."

The "demonic obstacles" are the shadows cast by the recent popular negative influence of the Sea of ​​Bitterness. They originated from the time when Zhen Yuanzi created the world and opened up the realm of the Earthly Immortals. With the help of that multiverse, the Sea of ​​Bitterness developed rapidly, resulting in its current bizarre changes.

When demonic obstacles descend, they will stir up negative emotions in the cultivator's heart, gradually corrupting the cultivator's resolve and ultimately leading the cultivator into a sea of ​​suffering, turning them into a puppet of suffering.

Although Luo Zu was sitting in his cave, he kept a close eye on the events. This demonic obstacle was somewhat different from the inner demon of the past, because the inner demon was descended by the Great Dao, while the demonic obstacle now descended from the Sea of ​​Bitterness. This difference made Luo Zu feel a sense of familiarity.

"Well, it's just a copy of my 'Inner Demon Tribulation,' a piracy and copyright infringement!" Luo Zu exclaimed inwardly.

Do you charge copyright fees?

Luo Zu thought to himself, "Forget it. If I accept the copyright fee, what will happen? Will I really be dragged into the Sea of ​​Bitterness and made into a saint?"

This position of sainthood is not worth having.

If the negative influence of the sea of ​​suffering cannot pull him into the sea of ​​suffering, then this demonic obstacle can only remain a demonic obstacle and cannot become the true great tribulation of inner demons.

Therefore, the negative influence of the Sea of ​​Suffering has always been "tempting" Luo Zu, often sending bewitching images into his mind. No matter whether he is in a higher dimension or incarnated in Kunlun Mountain, no environment can stop his restless heart.

Unfortunately, Luo Zu was moved but refused, and all his charms were given to the blind man.

Is the Sage of the Sea of ​​Suffering a sage? Can he still be free after entering the Sea of ​​Suffering? Look at those cultivators who are obsessed with the negative aspects of the Sea of ​​Suffering. It is very difficult for them to reincarnate and start cultivating again. They can only exist as puppets of the Sea of ​​Suffering forever.

If one can no longer control their own destiny, then what's the point of cultivating oneself?

However, the Bitter Sea Demon Barrier has not yet become a phenomenon. The Lich and Demon races are busy cultivating the territories they couldn't conquer in the past in the Primordial Main Universe and the Great Thousand Universe, and they have no time to pay attention to such "trivial matters," although the Bitter Sea Demon Barrier phenomenon does occur from time to time among the Lich and Demon races.

However, the probability is ultimately small, and in the eyes of the powerful beings of the Lich and Demon races, it poses little threat. It is nothing more than a matter of inner demons, which they can easily suppress with a wave of their hand.

However, the independent cultivators were deeply troubled by this and could only study ways to overcome and prevent it.

Then the Tao Te Ching, passed down by the Sage Taiqing, was revitalized and spread over 30,000 light-years in a thousand years.

Another point is that the sea of ​​suffering and demonic obstacles are truly terrifying. This is because these demonic obstacles penetrate deep into the hearts of cultivators and affect those below the level of true immortals.

In the past, inner demons were limited to the cultivation realms of True Immortal and Profound Immortal, and the sea of ​​suffering and demonic obstacles almost spread to all cultivators.

Fortunately, the Tao Te Ching of the Great Sage is not limited to any particular level of spiritual cultivation; anyone with wisdom can read it to purify their mind, concentrate their spirit, and dispel demonic obstacles.

For all living beings in the primordial world, this is truly a great act of merit. (End of Chapter)
