Pangu Temple.
Looking at the mountain of treasures piled before him, Qin Xuan immediately decided that he was not going anywhere. He needed to cultivate without delay!
When the first sermon ended, Hongjun had said that the second sermon would begin after one Era Cycle.
After the trip to Buzhou Mountain's Gourd Vine and Three Immortal Island,
there were still nearly a hundred thousand years before the second sermon.
A hundred thousand years sounded like a long time, but in the Primordial World, it was nothing—perhaps no more than the blink of an eye!
Qin Xuan did not dare relax in the slightest.
After all, once Zixiao Palace's second sermon ended, Hongjun would surely teach the path of the Quasi-Sage.
By then, the Primordial World would enter the age of Quasi-Sages. Honestly, his cultivation at the peak of the Great Golden Immortal realm would not be enough.
Though he had Merits of Creation, his lower cultivation meant he would not be beaten to death so easily.
But if Yuanshi managed to turn things around, even ten faces probably would not be enough for Qin Xuan to withstand his beating...
When Qin Xuan voiced his intention to enter seclusion and cultivate, the Ancestral Witches readily agreed.
The Ancestral Witches' method of cultivation was simple and brutal, without so many twists and turns.
They walked straight to the treasure mountain and began ravenously devouring the heaps of Innate Spiritual Fruit and herbs.
With their powerful physical bodies, refining these spiritual herbs and fruits was as easy as drinking water.
At the same time, every time they opened their mouths, they inhaled wisps of pure Chaos Qi.
Though the Chaos Qi leaking from these pools of Chaos Spirit Liquid was not abundant, it could help them cultivate the laws within their bodies.
Standing to one side and watching his elder brothers eat, Qin Xuan could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth.
Then he looked toward the pool of Three Lights Divine Water and Chaos Spirit Liquid.
An idea immediately came to him!
He walked over to Hou Tu's side and spoke softly.
"Big Sister Hou Tu, why not try the Three Lights Divine Water and Chaos Spirit Liquid?"
Hearing this, Hou Tu turned her gentle eyes toward Qin Xuan and smiled softly.
"Little Brother Xuan, are you suggesting that I use these two supreme treasures to repair my Primordial Spirit?"
Qin Xuan nodded, a hint of seriousness in his gaze.
"Yes! The Three Lights Divine Water can repair the Primordial Spirit, while this Chaos Spirit Liquid was born when Primordial Chaos first opened. It contains the power of chaos's origin and is equally useful for the Primordial Spirit!"
"Perhaps combining these two supreme treasures can help repair yours."
If Big Sister Hou Tu could restore her Primordial Spirit early, she could begin laying out the Earthly Dao in advance. Besides, she could use the karmic ties of Zixiao Palace's saintly seats to trade Hongjun for some other benefits, couldn't she?
Hou Tu agreed without the slightest hesitation.
If Qin Xuan said it would work, then it would definitely work!
Thus, Hou Tu came to the space between the two spiritual pools and sat down cross-legged.
She carefully guided strands of Three Lights Divine Water and Chaos Spirit Liquid into her sea of consciousness, slowly directing them toward the mark of her Primordial Spirit.
Seeing that all his elder brothers and sisters had entered cultivation, Qin Xuan no longer delayed. He immediately found an open space and began cultivating.
He took a deep breath and began circulating the Primordial Creation Art.
In an instant, an utterly terrifying devouring force erupted from within his body.
A dull hum rang out, and a massive spiritual energy vortex suddenly formed around Qin Xuan!
It madly devoured all energy within Pangu Temple!
Qin Xuan was startled at the sight.
He hurriedly controlled the range of its suction, carefully avoiding his elder brothers and sisters who were cultivating.
Yet even after its range was reduced, the spiritual energy vortex remained terrifying!
Countless exceptionally precious Innate Spiritual Fruits on the treasure mountain, things rarely seen in the outside world,
withered, melted, and broke apart under the vortex's pull, visibly transforming into the purest Primordial Aura and pouring endlessly into Qin Xuan's body.
At the same time, the nearby pool of Chaos Spirit Liquid began to churn.
The dense Chaos Spirit Liquid in the pool released wisps of pure Chaos Qi, which he drew into his body.
But rather than directly absorbing this Chaos Qi, he guided it to coil around the chains of the Law of Strength within his body.
Bolstered by the massive resources, the auras of Qin Xuan and the Ancestral Witches began soaring at an astonishing pace.
Within Hou Tu's sea of consciousness, the turbid qi of creation attached to her corroded Primordial Spirit mark began to dissipate bit by bit at an extremely slow pace under the cleansing of the Chaos Spirit Liquid.
Then, nourished by the Three Lights Divine Water, it slowly began to mend and heal.
Time went unrecorded in the Primordial World.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years passed.
Qin Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches remained in secluded cultivation.
Yet the Primordial Continent was far from peaceful.
On Kunlun Mountain, the formerly tranquil Jade Void Palace suddenly erupted with dazzling radiance.
Yuanshi, who had remained silent for so long, abruptly opened his eyes.
His gaze was like a sword drawn from its sheath, filled with barely concealed excitement.
The heart demon from before had not destroyed him.
Instead, it had become an immense stroke of fortune!
The Merits of Creation that had erupted back then had not dissipated. Instead, they had surged into his body and directly raised his cultivation.
At this moment, he had astonishingly entered the peak of the Great Golden Immortal realm, a state countless great powers dreamed of. His aura even faintly exceeded the scope of the Grand Luo Realm!
He was only one step away from entering the Quasi-Sage realm.
He even had a powerful premonition that if the Dao Ancestor were to teach the method of Quasi-Sage cultivation now, then with the Merits of Creation within his body, he could become a Quasi-Sage on the spot!
Yet deep within his excited eyes lay an irrepressible, bone-deep hatred!
He secretly hardened his resolve.
Once the Dao Ancestor taught the path of the Quasi-Sage, would Qin Xuan, merely at the peak of the Great Golden Immortal realm, not be as insignificant as an ant?
When that time came, he would repay every humiliation Qin Xuan had inflicted upon him tenfold, a hundredfold!
The commotion caused by Yuanshi's breakthrough awakened Taiqing and Tongtian, who were cultivating nearby, filling both of them with shock.
Taiqing's brows furrowed slightly. He sensed that Yuanshi's cultivation now faintly surpassed his own.
Tongtian was even more dumbfounded. He could no longer see through Yuanshi's cultivation at all.
On the Sun Star.
It was exceptionally lively at this time.
After Bai Ze spread the word, Kunpeng, Ji Meng, Ying Zhao, Feilian, Jiuying, and other great powers had all arrived.
Countless demon kings and Great Golden Immortal-level demon clan experts had also gathered here, their presence shaking the heavens.
Dijun and Taiyi sat in the seats of honor, their gazes sweeping across the demons below. Their eyes burned with ambition and yearning for dominion over the Primordial World.
Today, the Demon Court would be established!
Yet after much deliberation, Dijun and Taiyi had no idea where the Demon Court should be founded.
The Sun Star was where the brothers had been born, and it was formed from Pangu's left eye. It could naturally bear the demon clan's fortune.
However, the Sun Star was permeated by Solar True Fire. Without the cultivation of a Grand Yi Golden Immortal, one could not merely survive there—one could not even approach it.
But the famous Cave Heaven Blessed Lands in the Primordial World were either the Daoist grounds of other great powers or simply incapable of suppressing the demon clan's fortune.
Just as the demons were at a loss and arguing endlessly over the choice of location, Dijun, seated at the head, suddenly trembled. An indescribable sense of guidance descended upon him from the void.
This sensation was so clear, as though it were a supreme opportunity concerning the Demon Court's location! It guided him toward a certain place.
Dijun abruptly rose from his throne. The vast majesty of the Demon Emperor instantly enveloped the entire hall, and all clamor vanished at once.
His gaze flashed like lightning as he announced loudly,
"Everyone! I have sensed where the Demon Court's true opportunity lies! Its foundation is not on the Sun Star, but in... the Thirty-Three Heavens!"
After speaking, Dijun said no more. He rose directly and flew at top speed in the direction indicated by that unseen guidance.
Taiyi followed close behind, while the other demon sages and great demon clan powers hurried after them.
