Qing Xuan felt a slight disappointment about the Fire Spirit Pearl. Having the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud, an Innate Supreme Treasure, on Yingzhou Immortal Mountain was already quite good, but who would ever complain about having too many spiritual treasures? The Fire Spirit Pearl was a Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, and while collecting all Five Spirit Pearls could match it with a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was an extremely difficult feat.
"Collect all Five Spirit Pearls? This is the Primordial Era, not a video game, it's not that easy." Qing Xuan adjusted his mindset, put away the Fire Spirit Pearl, and began to refine Yingzhou Immortal Mountain.
Cultivation knows no time. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.
"Whoosh!"
The formation within the Yingzhou Stone Tablet flashed and merged into Qing Xuan's body. Qing Xuan felt that the Yingzhou Grand Formation, just like the Fangcun Grand Formation, had integrated into the Penglai Grand Formation, and he carefully comprehended it.
"So strong!" Qing Xuan thought moments later. The formation of Three Mountains Combine in his mind was the [Myriad Spirits Myriad Laws Return to One Illusory Formation].
This formation was created by the Three Immortal Islands. Within the formation, the Three Islands Stone Tablets served as the three formation eyes. To break this formation, all three stone tablets had to be destroyed simultaneously. Destroying only one would allow it to recover immediately.
Furthermore, this formation required Million Spirit Roots as its foundation, absorbing Earth Vein Spiritual Qi to stabilize its power. Tens of Millions of Beast Bones were used to protect the formation, activating the power within them to form a killing array.
This formation could enhance its capabilities based on the quality of the spirit roots and beast bones, possessing effects such as trapping enemies, killing enemies, defense, and gathering spiritual energy. It was truly a top-tier formation in the Primordial Era.
"I didn't expect such a grand formation to exist! It seems the Three Immortal Islands truly belong to me, Hahahaha!" Qing Xuan laughed to the sky. He had initially worried about defending the three islands, but now that he had obtained the Three Immortal Islands and their guardian formation, it was truly fate.
At this moment, the spiritual energy of Yingzhou Immortal Mountain converged. A pair of dancing Phoenixes circled in the air before finally merging into Qing Xuan's body.
Qing Xuan carefully comprehended. Through refining the three islands and the World-Purifying White Lotus, his essence, energy, and spirit had reached perfection.
"Just a little bit more." Qing Xuan frowned, feeling the immense Magic Power within his body. Yet, it was just a tiny bit away from achieving Dao and becoming an Immortal.
"Got it!" Qing Xuan's eyes lit up. He took out a fruit from his embrace – it was a Yellow Middle Plum. Qing Xuan burst the fruit open and absorbed it entirely.
The spiritual energy that had not yet dispersed instantly enveloped Qing Xuan, forming a spiritual energy egg.
Time flowed like water, and years passed like a shuttle. A short while later.
"Drink!"
Qing Xuan leaped up, spiritual energy swirling around him, golden Dao patterns flashing between his brows. "Hahaha, I've succeeded."
Qing Xuan sensed his own realm. He had reached Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. From now on, walking in the Primordial Era, he would have sufficient means to protect himself.
Qing Xuan landed at the Yingzhou Stone Tablet. He thought that the Three Immortal Islands had yet to fully emerge, and the treasures within them had already been collected. The Million Spirit Roots were present on the Three Immortal Islands, but he would still need to venture out to find Tens of Millions of Beast Bones.
With this thought, Qing Xuan began to refine the magical treasures in his hands to make them more useful for his travels in the Primordial Era.
Magical treasures in the Primordial Era had restrictions. Low-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had twelve restrictions, Mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had twenty-four, High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures had thirty-six, and Innate Supreme Treasures had forty-eight. Above these, Chaos Spirit Treasures had even more restrictions.
Post-natal spiritual treasures had the same number of restrictions as Innate Spiritual Treasures. The only difference was that one was formed naturally, while the other was artificially refined. Although their grades were the same, their power differed.
Qing Xuan took out the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud, intending to refine this defensive supreme treasure first. Although he had experience refining the World-Purifying White Lotus, refining the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud was still extremely difficult.
It took him decades to successfully refine the World-Purifying White Lotus, but it took him a full three hundred years to refine the Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud.
The Myriad Heavens Celebration Cloud faded around Qing Xuan, and he immediately felt very safe.
Next, Qing Xuan spent five hundred years consolidating his cultivation. He also practiced the Vertical Ground Golden Light divine ability recorded in the Green Lotus Primordial Art. His body transformed into a golden light that traversed the ground, covering thousands of miles a day. This was an escape technique, refined for self-preservation. He also refined the Fire Spirit Pearl along the way.
"Everything is ready, let's go out and have some fun, Da Bai!"
"Yo!"
Qing Xuan summoned Da Bai. Da Bai's cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Immortal completion, and he was on the verge of breaking through to Golden Immortal.
"Da Bai, your cultivation is too low. You should stay on the Three Islands. I'll give you the aura of the Three Islands, and you can move freely between them."
"Yo yo yo~"
"Alright, alright. When you cultivate to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, I'll take you out to play."
"Yo yo!"
"Hey, you're throwing a tantrum now. No one knows what the Primordial World is like now. Danger outweighs opportunity. As a mere Heavenly Immortal completion, you'd just be a snack for others if you went out. It's better to cultivate diligently and guard the home."
"Yo~"
"Mm, it's good that you understand. Remember, the Three Islands haven't appeared yet, so ordinary people can't find them. Those who do find them are not ordinary. Hide inside the islands and don't come out."
"Yo yo~"
"Alright, Da Bai, I'm leaving now. Guard the home."
Qing Xuan patted Da Bai's deer head, transformed into golden light, and instantly appeared on the sea surface.
"Legend has it that the Three Immortal Islands are located on the East Sea, so this must be the East Sea. It's also said that Buzhou Mountain is in the center of the Primordial World. I'll go take a look first."
Thinking this, Qing Xuan transformed into golden light and flew westward.
In the blink of an eye, Qing Xuan had been out for several decades. During these decades, Qing Xuan spent most of his time traveling. In this period, Qing Xuan also figured out the current situation of the Primordial World.
At this time, the Primordial World was overrun with fierce beasts. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin tribes stood in opposition. The Dragon Clan, led by the Ancestral Dragon, commanded the Scaled Clan, occupying the Four Seas, rivers, and lakes. The Phoenix Clan, with Yuan Feng as its leader, led the Winged Clan, occupying the Southern Bright Undying Volcano and the sky. The Kirin Tribe, headed by the First Kirin, led the Beast Clan, occupying the Kirin Cliff of the Kunlun Mountain range and the land. All three tribes considered themselves the overlords of the Primordial World, so the contradictions between them deepened.
"It seems the Dragon-Han Tribulation is coming soon. This tribulation is ostensibly a tribulation for the Three Clans, but behind it lies the Dao-Demon Conflict between Luohu and Hongjun. To participate in this war, one must be at least a Quasi-Saint. My cultivation is still not enough." Qing Xuan flew in the air, thinking about whether he could take advantage of this great battle.
"Roar, Mo Yu, die!"
A roar came from afar. Qing Xuan snapped back to attention and flew towards the sound. He saw a black dragon and a kirin fighting each other. Qing Xuan cautiously hid to the side and watched.
Ao Ao circled in the air, his body flashing as he dodged the attack from his enemy, Mo Yu.
"Hmph, Mo Yu, you will die today!"
"Ao Ao, with you? Your Dragon Clan should be like loaches, hiding in the sea. How dare you wreak havoc on land? If I don't kill you today, I swear I'm not a Kirin!"
As the two fought, the wind and clouds changed, and the earth cracked. Ao Ao's massive body was like a black lightning bolt, tearing through the sky and lunging straight at Mo Yu. Mo Yu was not afraid. He stomped the ground with his four hooves, launching himself up like a cannonball. The five-colored light on his body flared. The two exchanged blows, fighting fiercely. The area was in chaos.
"Good fight, good fight!" Qing Xuan's eyes lit up slightly. Both were at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Peak. At this moment, he hoped they would both be injured, allowing him to benefit as a fisherman.
