151: The Era of Quasi-Saints
Immortal Volcano.
After tens of thousands of years of secluded cultivation, Yuan Feng had finally stabilized her Realm and briefly organized her future path of Dao.
Now that she had achieved Primordial Chaos Great Golden Immortal, they had to grope their own way forward for the path ahead.
Hongjun walked the Path of the Saint, which was very different from theirs and held little reference value.
Perhaps the former Hongjun had walked the same path as them.
But that would have been experience accumulated during the ages of Chaos.
Hongjun had said it was better not to give them references, otherwise there might be some ill effects.
In the vast Primordial World, among countless powerful beings, it turned out there was no one she could turn to for an exchange of experience.
Actually, that wasn't true.
Didn't her own family have one?
From the beginning until now, throughout the entire journey, they had walked side by side.
Now that they had validated their Dao in Primordial Chaos and transcended the Primordial World, although there were no precedents for the road ahead, there was no need to feel lost.
Whatever the future held, it was simply beneath their feet.
After emerging from seclusion, she discovered that Qing Wu had obtained a large cauldron at some point, and she immediately came over to inspect it out of curiosity.
“Did Hongjun give this to you?”
Qing Wu nodded. “Hongjun was distributing treasures to everyone, and in the end, there was no place to send this cauldron, so he gave it to us.”
Hearing this, Yuan Feng was somewhat skeptical.
A treasure could actually fail to be given away?
Especially a treasure of this level.
This cauldron emitted a dense aura of creation, exerting a strong attraction on her.
Chaos Qi swirled at the mouth of the cauldron, as if it could swallow all things, yet also seemed capable of nurturing all living beings.
Inside the cauldron, Chaos mist gathered, as if it contained an unopened world, occasionally evolving the Qi of clarity and turbidity, and at other times condensing the essence of the Five Elements, forming its own mysterious set of rules of creation.
She cast a wisp of Nanmingli Fire into it; the flames swirled within the cauldron, their violent nature gradually neutralized, becoming pure Power of Creation.
The rules within the cauldron manifested; it could both return things to their origin and create all things. It was truly a rare supreme treasure in the Primordial World.
For such a treasure, there were likely many things that would need to be done in return.
But there was indeed no reason to refuse.
Different paths lead to the same destination; anyway, their ultimate goal was the same.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.
For some reason, she wanted to use something for an experiment, but she didn't have any suitable Materials on hand.
Her gaze shifted and landed on Qing Wu.
The latter was momentarily stunned. Why are you looking at me like that!
It’s not even dark yet, are you losing control already?
Perhaps sensing his thoughts, Yuan Feng immediately looked away, her gaze returning to the large cauldron.
“Perhaps Sister Nuwa would like it more.”
“Next time, we can invite her to come and see this cauldron.”
Speaking of Nuwa, they indeed hadn't seen her for several kalpas.
However, this amount of time was nothing to them.
Mainly, they had not yet seen these Innate Sacred Beings after their Breakthrough to the Zenith Heaven Realm, so they were naturally a bit curious.
In the current Primordial World, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were still very rare existences.
Even among the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, those who had achieved a Breakthrough to Zenith Heaven probably didn't even account for half.
In other words, the number of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals was at most no more than two thousand.
Such a small number was truly too scarce for the Primordial World.
Yet the world was already filled with the dao rhyme of Zenith Heaven.
Zenith Heaven to the world, and the world to Zenith Heaven, had reached a process of mutual attraction.
Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals borrowed power from the world, comprehending the Law of the world and Slaying the Corpses to break through Realms and improve their cultivation.
The world also borrowed the power of Zenith Heaven, making itself more stable and enduring.
With the world working in unison, some strange existences that occasionally wanted to surface were temporarily suppressed.
This feeling could be very clearly felt by the Ancestral Dragon, who was suppressing the Sea Eye.
Opening his eyes again after a long time and seeing the world change once more, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
“The stability of the world is further improving, and it looks like it will continue for a very long time.”
“The era of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal has arrived.”
This was something he had to admit; the glory of the Dragon Clan had passed, and it might never return.
Beside him, Torch Dragon also looked up at the sky. Next to him stood another small dragon.
“Clan Brother, that East Duke has shown much courtesy to our Dragon Clan during this period and has invited our Dragon Clan to join his Immortal Court.”
Hearing this, the Ancestral Dragon suddenly let out a low dragon roar. “What do you want to do?”
Torch Dragon paused slightly and said, “Clan Brother, in my view, this East Duke is not an irredeemable person.”
“Moreover, with the background of being the head of male immortals personally appointed by the Saint, he has already gained momentum. Our Dragon Clan might be able to place some bets on him.”
“It doesn't have to be much, just enough to get a share of the spoils when he succeeds.”
“If he fails, our Dragon Clan won't suffer great losses.”
“Hmph!” The Ancestral Dragon snorted coldly.
“After resting for so long, you have truly been muddled by peaceful days.”
“Think of our Dragon Clan in the past; didn't it also start from these tiny thoughts, which later grew step by step until we entered the tribulation?”
“If you don't want to live this way anymore, then you come and suppress the Sea Eye.”
The Ancestral Dragon released one claw, and a wisp of the Sea Eye's chill escaped, making Torch Dragon involuntarily take a few steps back.
He couldn't suppress it!
“I wouldn't dare...”
Then, the Ancestral Dragon turned his gaze toward the small dragon at his side.
This was the future hope of the Dragon Clan that the Fellow Daoist had spoken of.
After considering it for these days, perhaps because of the affection for a later generation, he found the dragon more and more pleasing to the eye.
“Come, little Ao Guang, this Old Ancestor will tell you about the things you should pay attention to as a Dragon King.”
“Don't be an old muddlehead like this Second Old Ancestor of yours.”
Hearing this, Torch Dragon couldn't help but tug at his dragon whiskers.
He was still right here, and being criticized to his face would give the junior a bad impression...
At the Immortal Volcano, Yuan Feng was studying that large cauldron, while Qing Wu was teasing the dog on the side.
The Celestial Dog was working very hard to please its Revered Master, doing backflips one after another.
Suddenly, Qing Wu's heart stirred as he felt a certain voice calling out to him.
Sensing carefully, it turned out to be his disciple who was studying abroad to gain Karma; a small ripple left in the River of Time had been captured by him.
“Lu Shu is about to break through to the Great Golden Immortal Realm!”
“Time really flies.”
These words were meant for Yuan Feng to hear. Fearing she wouldn't hear, Qing Wu added another sentence.
Yuan Feng raised her hand to perform a calculation and found it was indeed so. “Then why aren't you going quickly?”
“I don't know what you, as a Revered Master, have actually done.”
She naturally knew what Qing Wu meant; he simply wanted to show off in front of her.
Her disciple, Ling Ling, although also at Great Golden Immortal Perfection, was still some distance away from breaking through the Realm.
Qing Wu was very satisfied with Yuan Feng's reaction; one could say his goal had been achieved.
“Let's go together. With you, this Dao Lord, present, he will feel even more valued, and the Realm Breakthrough can be more stable.”
As he spoke, Qing Wu didn't wait for her to react, taking her hand and departing.
At this time, the Celestial Dog, who had learned that its good brother was about to break through, also wanted to follow, but found that its two Revered Masters had already vanished from the spot.
Exasperated, it couldn't help but howl a few times, sounding quite foul-mouthed.
At that moment, a large hand reached out from the Void Realm, slapped it once, then picked it up and took it along.
