Primordial Era: I am a gourd vine, starting with seven gourds combined into one.

In the depths of the endless void, Lin Yang manifested his true form, coiling around the Chaos Gourd. While inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy to recover his mana and injuries, he also continued practicing the Thirty-Six Heavens, naturally finding great peace and quiet.

However, his great battle with the Ancestral Dragon caused a great upheaval in the primordial world.

Although the First Emperor intended to keep it hidden, the great battle was so massive that it had already been discovered by all sides.

Even many powerful beings witnessed the entire course of this great battle with their divine sense.

In no time, the name of Lin Yang, the Daoist of Creation, spread throughout the prehistoric world.

Although the battle ended in Lin Yang's defeat, the rumor that Zu Long was injured as a result was enough to make Lin Yang famous.

This indirectly led to another major war between the three races.

The Phoenix Clan and the Qilin Clan joined forces again to attack the Dragon Clan, forcing the Dragon Clan to shrink its battle lines.

However, neither the First Dragon nor the other two Dragon Emperors appeared from beginning to end.

Therefore, even though powerful figures like Yuan Feng and Shi Qilin guessed that Zu Long was injured, they did not know the extent of his injury and were afraid of being ambushed, so they did not dare to take the initiative to attack the East Sea.

Zu Long naturally took this opportunity to recuperate from his injuries.

Meanwhile, on Mount Yujing in the eastern land, there stands a palace called "Zixiao Palace".

Inside the Zixiao Palace, a Taoist priest with an unusual appearance sat cross-legged. He had also heard about Lin Yang's deeds.

At this moment, a jade tablet appeared behind his head, but it was incomplete, missing a corner.

Even so, the jade tablet was auspiciously radiant, emitting countless rays of light and exuding an endless aura of mystery.

This jade tablet is none other than the Creation Jade Tablet, one of the three great chaotic treasures of the Great God Pangu.

However, during the creation of the world, the Jade Tablet of Creation also suffered a calamity, shattering into countless fragments that fell into the primordial world.

By chance, Hongjun Daoren found most of the fragments and reforged them into a jade tablet.

Although the Creation Jade Tablet was somewhat damaged at this moment, its power was still immense, even surpassing that of innate treasures.

What's even more enticing is that this Jade Tablet of Creation contains endless mysteries of the Great Dao. If one could obtain it and comprehend it, one's cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds. Even a pig could cultivate supreme supernatural powers.

After obtaining the Jade Tablet of Creation, Hongjun Daoren comprehended the method of severing the three corpses to attain enlightenment. Now, he has long since severed all three corpses and only needs to unite them into one to attain enlightenment.

In terms of cultivation, he was far more powerful than the Ancestral Dragon. However, Daoist Hongjun remained unassuming, waiting for the moment when he truly attained enlightenment, which would be the day he would be invincible in the world.

However, at this moment, the information about Lin Yang that Hongjun Daoist was trying to deduce with the help of the Creation Jade Tablet remained vague and unclear.

Hongjun frowned slightly. With a thought, the Jade Tablet of Creation dimmed, losing its radiant glow and auspicious energy, becoming as if it had returned to its original state, like a flawless piece of white jade.

"It seems this person truly possesses a supreme treasure. The innate gourd vine, one of the ten great spiritual roots, can actually produce an innate supreme treasure?"

Hongjun shook his head. Although he found it somewhat unbelievable, the ten spiritual roots were all extraordinary, especially since it was a primordial gourd vine that had transformed into a human form and attained the Dao, becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal. If such a feat was truly possible, it was not entirely unacceptable.

Hongjun stopped thinking about it and continued his seclusion to cultivate and comprehend the Dao.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the western lands, at the foot of Mount Sumeru, Rahu, dressed in black robes, was cultivating demonic arts. Countless demons were constantly emerging from his body, emanating endless demonic energy. However, he unexpectedly learned of the battle between Lin Yang and the Ancestral Dragon, and was also taken aback.

"Has another formidable character emerged? A primordial gourd vine transformed into human form, a Daoist of Creation, and he actually managed to escape from that bastard Zu Long's clutches. That's not bad. Perhaps I can refine him into a demon under my command."

Rahu also made calculations, but as one can imagine, even Hongjun, who possessed the Jade Tablet of Creation, failed, so the information Rahu could calculate was even less.

Luo Hou frowned slightly, but he knew that Lin Yang possessed a supreme innate treasure. Now that he was injured, he had to conceal his secrets as much as possible and not reveal a single detail.

He wanted to deduce Lin Yang's information, but his chances were slim. Now that he has failed, it is understandable.

However, Lin Yang has also caught his eye. If given the chance in the future, Luo Hou is very interested in turning Lin Yang into a demon under his command.

This was something very appealing to him.

Luo Hou also harbored ambitions. He cultivated the demonic path, wanting to prove his Dao through demonic means and transform the entire primordial world into a world of demons, turning all living beings into countless demons.

Therefore, Rahu secretly carried out a grand plan to make the three races weaken each other, while he would reap the benefits in the end.

Besides that, what he was thinking about even more was killing Hongjun.

It can be said that the person he hated most in the primordial world was Hongjun.

From the first time he saw Hongjun, he wanted to kill him.

If one word could describe his feelings toward Hongjun, it would be hypocritical.

This fellow appears to be honest and upright on the surface, but Rahu always felt that he was full of evil intentions.

Therefore, Luo Hou had actually fought with Hong Jun many times and wanted to refine Hong Jun into one of his demons, but unfortunately, Hong Jun seemed to have a lot of luck every time.

Each time, he managed to escape from his grasp, leaving Rahu seething with hatred.

However, all of this is about to come to a conclusion.

Luo Hou thought of the four Zhuxian swords he was tempering, as well as the Zhuxian formation diagram, and couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation.

As long as their plan succeeds, it doesn't matter what races they are, or what Hongjun, the Daoist of Creation, or even Qiankun, Yin Yang, the Five Elements, and so on.

These guys that I hate and find annoying, I can just get rid of them.

Luo Hou quickly put Lin Yang's matter out of his mind and continued to cultivate his demonic arts.

……

And so time flew by, and several centuries passed in the blink of an eye.

this day.

Somewhere in the eastern land, on an ordinary mountain, all sorts of creatures have gathered.

At the very top of the mountain, there was a Taoist platform, and on the platform sat a young Taoist priest who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old.

Seeing that all the creatures had gathered on the entire mountain peak, the Taoist smiled calmly and began to expound on Taoist teachings.

The principles and methods he spoke of were not some overly profound teachings.

It starts with the most basic breathing exercises, then moves on to the techniques for tempering the physical body and cultivating a Dao body.

From simple to complex.

His sermon greatly benefited the countless creatures on the mountain.

During the preaching, there were occasional breakthroughs in the cultivation of living beings, or the formation of Dao bodies, which were then manifested on the spot.

However, although these many creatures varied in strength and some were even enemies of each other, none of them dared to act recklessly under the Taoist's watchful eye.

They all listened attentively and obediently.

Thus, the Taoist preached for a full eight hundred years before finally stopping and saying to all living beings, "Alright, this sermon ends here. You may all disperse, and you need not come again in the future. I intend to leave this place and travel to other places."

Upon hearing the Taoist's words, the many creatures were immediately reluctant to part with him and begged him to stay.

But the Taoist was determined to leave, and there was no way they could stop him. However, the Taoist then said, "Among you, there is one who has some affinity with me and may become my disciple."

Upon hearing this, all living beings were taken aback and began to feel a sense of hope.

But then the Taoist priest waved his sleeve and swept a monkey to the front of the altar.

The monkey had golden fur all over its body, which was dazzlingly shiny and smooth, making one want to touch it.

But its most peculiar feature was that it had six ears. This characteristic was not particularly unusual in the prehistoric world at that time.

After all, let alone six ears, there are all sorts of strange things, such as three heads, six heads, or even a dozen or more hands.

However, the others didn't find the monkey strange at all, but they did find out why this Taoist had been preaching on this mountain peak for hundreds of years each time.

He was preaching to this monkey.

And after a series of tests, just as he had expected, the monkey was indeed the legendary Six-Eared Macaque.

One of the Four Mischievous Monkeys.

The Four Mischievous Monkeys, one of whom is the Spiritual Stone Monkey, who is skilled in transformation, understands the seasons, knows the advantages of the land, and can move stars and change constellations.

Secondly, the Six-Eared Macaque is good at listening, discerning reason, knowing the past and the future, and understanding all things.

Thirdly: The long-armed ape can grasp the sun and moon, shrink a thousand mountains, discern good and bad fortune, and manipulate the universe.

Fourthly: The red-bottomed macaque understands yin and yang, knows human affairs, is good at entering and exiting, and can avoid death and prolong life.

These four monkeys are not among the ten categories, nor are they known in the two realms.

"You monkey, you do have some talent, but no matter how good your talent is, without the right method, you won't be able to cultivate any great supernatural powers. Would you like to become my disciple and cultivate with me?" The Taoist brought the Six-Eared Macaque in front of him and asked directly without wasting any words.

Upon hearing this, the Six-Eared Macaque felt the burning gazes of the surrounding creatures, who seemed to wish they could take his place. He was so excited that he almost blurted out that he wanted to become the disciple of the Taoist priest before him.

Over the past few thousand years, he had occasionally encountered this Taoist priest who taught Taoist doctrines on this desolate mountain. He would teach once every few hundred years, and each time he would teach for several hundred years. At first, he did not take it seriously, but after listening to the Taoist teachings once, he could not help but feel somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Because the Dao he heard from the Daoist was remarkably in harmony with his own experience.

Realizing this, he became suspicious of the Taoist priest, wondering if he was after him.

But even Heaven and Earth probably don't know my origins, so how could this Taoist priest see through me?

The six-eared macaque was somewhat skeptical, but mostly excited.

Although he was born with supernatural powers, his cultivation level was too low. Without strong cultivation to support his talent for listening to others' voices, it was extremely weak.

He also lacked a suitable cultivation method.

He has wasted countless years and has only managed to cultivate to the level of a Golden Immortal.

Now that I've finally found a method that suits me, how can I not seize the opportunity?

Thus, despite his doubts about the Taoist, his yearning for the Tao overwhelmed the Six-Eared Macaque's reason, causing him to want to leave and escape this place time and time again, yet he stayed each time.

He never missed a single one of the Taoist's sermons.

He originally thought that such days would continue, and that his cultivation had already reached the late stage of Golden Immortal over the past few thousand years. With one more step, he could break through to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal.

This was also the deadline he set for himself. Once he broke through, he would have to leave no matter what.

But what he didn't expect was that right after this sermon ended, he felt that he was about to break through to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal. But before he could leave, the Taoist pulled him in front of him and asked him to become his disciple.
