Fierce Beast Descends Mountain, Blocked, Demon God Remnant Soul Wields Power!

North Pole Land!

Beast Emperor Shen Ni was drilling the Fierce Beast army. At this moment, Beast Emperor Shen Ni had already reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage Peak!

The Four Ferocious Beasts under his command had all emerged: Qiongqi, Taowu, Taotie, and Hundun!

The Four Ferocious Beasts had all reached the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal Middle Stage Peak!

Shen Ni stood atop the high platform, gazing at the mighty and imposing Fierce Beast army below, his heart swelling with heroic pride.

He raised his arm and shouted, "All Fierce Beasts, hear my command! Today is the day we march forth! Follow me as we slaughter our way across the Primordial Continent and let the world know the might of our Fierce Beast Clan!"

The Four Ferocious Beasts roared in unison, their cries shaking the Nine Heavens. They led the Fierce Beast army, advancing in a mighty tide toward every corner of the Primordial Continent.

The first to bear the brunt were Hun Kun Old Ancestor and Limitless Old Ancestor!

Because their Daoist Temples were located in the Northernmost Land, the first wave of the Fierce Beast army surged straight into their temples!

At this time, the cultivation of most living beings on the Primordial Continent was still low, and the disciples in the temples of the two Old Ancestors were naturally no better off.

Facing the Fierce Beast army, they had little means to resist, for most Fierce Beasts lacked intelligence and only knew mindless slaughter!

The disciples of the two Old Ancestors were still shallow in cultivation—how could they withstand the overwhelming numbers of the Fierce Beast army?

Confronted with a tide of Fierce Beasts as vast as the ocean, countless disciples fell into despair, as if forgetting how to fight back!

However, the two Old Ancestors themselves had barely reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal Middle Stage Peak, and facing Beast Emperor Shen Ni, they were not afraid.

The two sides clashed without cease. Watching his disciples fall one after another, Limitless Old Ancestor roared wildly and instantly summoned his Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Limitless Shield!

The shield appeared, vast as a mountain, and pressed down upon the Fierce Beast army. Instantly, countless Fierce Beasts were crushed to death!

Seeing this, Hun Kun Old Ancestor also unleashed his Top Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Hun Kun Staff. One strike sent a towering Qi Wave surging forth, and the Fierce Beast army collapsed in disarray!

The two Old Ancestors laughed wildly, "Shen Ni, you brat, don't get cocky! Come and fight us!"

Say what you will about these two—murderers and plunderers that they were—they still treated their own disciples fairly well!

Beast Emperor Shen Ni heard this, flashed forward, and appeared before the two of them!

Without wasting words, he stretched out his hand, and the God-Slaying Spear appeared in his grip. He thrust it straight at the two!

"Boom!"

A thunderous crash—the God-Slaying Spear was blocked by Limitless Old Ancestor's Limitless Shield!

In the blink of an eye, Hun Kun Old Ancestor, wielding the Hun Kun Staff, was already before Shen Ni!

Though Shen Ni's cultivation was slightly higher than theirs, the two Old Ancestors had spent countless years together and moved in perfect sync. Under their combined assault, Shen Ni was barely holding the upper hand!

This kind of battle was not something the Four Ferocious Beasts could join. All they could do was watch with reddened eyes, helpless!

In an instant, they had exchanged thousands of blows. Beast Emperor Shen Ni thrust his spear once, then retreated a thousand miles!

He waved his hand and shouted, "Retreat!"

At the Beast Emperor's command, the Fierce Beast army withdrew like an ebbing tide!

As the Fierce Beast army retreated, Taichu withdrew his divine sense as well.

"It seems every living being has its reason for existence. Though these two often kill and plunder, without them today, the living beings of the Primordial Continent would have suffered a calamity."

With that thought, Taichu vanished from where he stood.

A Daoist sound echoed through the air: "In ten thousand years, the Third Sermon will be given. Cultivate and comprehend well."

East Sea Coast, Three Immortals Island!

Ten thousand years away, and the moment he entered the island, Taichu could clearly feel the vibrant life Within the Island.

Rare beasts and exotic creatures roamed everywhere, flocks of immortal cranes soared, and the spiritual energy within the island was even richer than before.

Taichu formed hand seals and reinforced the Island-Protecting Array once more.

With a flick of his hand, he brought out countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he had gathered across the Primordial Continent over the ages, and built a grand hall at the highest point of Penglai Immortal Island.

With a wave of his hand, a plaque appeared before the hall, inscribed with the name "Taichu Palace."

Next, Taichu delivered a second sermon to the living beings on the island.

This sermon also covered the path from Primordial Unity Golden Immortal to Great Luo Golden Immortal.

He preached for three thousand years. Seeing the island's inhabitants still lost in enlightenment, cultivating in place, Taichu shifted his thoughts and sat down in Taichu Hall.

After a moment of contemplation, he decided to go into seclusion for a time, to better comprehend the Great Dao.

During his seclusion, Taichu's state of mind grew ever more tranquil, and his cultivation advanced further.

He attempted to break through the current bottleneck in his realm, but after several tries, he still failed.

However, his cultivation became more solid. At this moment, Taichu's cultivation was at the Golden Immortal of the Origin Initial Stage Peak!

Seeing that many living beings were still comprehending the Dao, Taichu went to the Enlightenment Tree.

He looked at the pool containing the Twelfth Grade World Cleansing White Lotus, around which many Ninth and Sixth Grade White Lotuses had grown, and nodded in satisfaction.

He raised his hand, and the Chaos Pearl flew into his palm. Nourished in Three Lights Divine Water for over a hundred thousand years, it now finally had a luster!

"Not bad. Though its grade hasn't risen, it has mostly recovered. I believe in another ten thousand years, it will be able to fully unleash the power of an Innate Treasure."

Once the Chaos Pearl is repaired, a world can be opened up within it!

For him, that would be a tremendous asset. If Three Immortals Island was Taichu's main force, then the world opened within the Chaos Pearl was his hidden trump card!

Taichu sat beneath the Enlightenment Tree and resumed refining the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler.

"When I was a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, I couldn't refine those last three prohibitions no matter what. Now that I've broken through to Golden Immortal of the Origin, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

A hundred years later, Taichu had refined the Primordial Chaos Measuring Heaven Ruler to its forty-eighth prohibition.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw that living beings were already waking up one after another. Taichu made his way to the preaching grounds!

He sat quietly on the Dao Platform, waiting for all the living beings to gradually awaken.

Looking at the cultivations of the beings Within the Island, most were now Golden Immortals and Primordial Unity Golden Immortals. Taichu was very satisfied!

Five hundred years later, the very last living being awoke from enlightenment!

Taichu fixed his gaze on him. This being's original form was a White Tiger, and his cultivation had already reached the early peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm!

Though he was a White Tiger, he was not bloodthirsty. His heart was firm and his nature tenacious—a rare and excellent talent!

Seeing Taichu seated upright on the Dao Platform, all the living beings also sat cross-legged on the ground, silent and still.

"You've done well. In all these years, you haven't slacked off. You are worthy of being beings of my Three Immortals Island. Now that the island's population is growing, I intend to form an Island Protection Squad! Anyone who joins the squad may cultivate beneath the Enlightenment Tree!"

"Those whose cultivation has reached Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, step forward!"

As Taichu finished speaking, nearly a hundred figures flew to the front one after another.

Taichu nodded in satisfaction. "White Tiger, step forward. From now on, you shall be the commander of my Three Immortals Island's Island Protection Squad. Are you willing?"

The White Tiger hurried forward and knelt in obeisance. "I am willing! Many thanks, Master!"

"From now on, these Primordial Unity Golden Immortals are under your command. You may assign them as you see fit. Externally, you will guard the beings of my Three Immortals Island; internally, you will be responsible for managing the beings Within the Island. Do you understand?"

"White Tiger understands!"

Then Taichu pointed a finger, and a wisp of Great Dao Merit flew into the White Tiger's brow!
