Taiqing had no intention of following the path of a single law.
Though the path of a single law allowed for rapid progress, its potential was limited.
The Heavenly Dao loomed above, while reincarnated Chaos Demon Gods such as Hongjun watched like tigers eyeing their prey.
Limited strength was weakness, and weakness in the Primordial Wilderness was the original sin.
Moreover, Taiqing followed the Dao of Non-Action, taking all things in heaven and earth as his teachers. So long as it was useful to him, Taiqing would comprehend it.
That was Taiqing's Dao of Non-Action: all things could be used by him.
Now, Taiqing felt that only by mastering the Five Elements Law and possessing both Yin Yang and the Five Elements could he go far.
Thus, he began comprehending the Five Elements Law without hesitation.
The Five Elements Law was neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy.
What Taiqing sought to master was the Innate Five Elements Law, not a single Five Elements Law.
The Innate Five Elements Law was an innate law formed by merging the single laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The Five Elements Law mastered by Old Ancestor Wuxing was precisely this Innate Five Elements Law.
Taiqing needed to master the individual laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth before he could merge them and comprehend the Innate Five Elements Law.
Its difficulty lay in comprehending the individual Five Elements Laws, merging them into one, and then comprehending the Innate Five Elements Law.
Other living beings could, at most, master one or two laws before reaching their limit.
The individual Five Elements Laws alone numbered five; once merged into one, that made six.
One could easily imagine the difficulty.
That was also why the Five Elements Law ranked among the top ten of the Three Thousand Laws.
Yet it was simple as well, because all things in the Primordial Wilderness possessed the Five Elements.
To comprehend an individual Five Elements Law, one could directly gain insight from the myriad living things of the Primordial Wilderness.
Within the Primordial Wilderness, living beings who mastered an individual Five Elements Law were also the most numerous.
As Taiqing comprehended the laws, the Ink Jade Qilin carried him toward the Eastern Sea.
Now that the three clans had withdrawn from the world and the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity had ended, the Primordial Wilderness had once again fallen into peace and tranquility.
They encountered few obstacles along the way.
After all, the three clans had all withdrawn, and the elite forces of the myriad races had perished in the great battle at Mount Sumeru.
The present Primordial Wilderness had pitifully few experts.
Other than reincarnated Chaos Demon God experts such as Old Ancestor Yang Mei and Old Ancestor Wuxing, who were cultivating in seclusion.
A Grand Unity Golden Immortal was considered a top-tier great power in the present-day Primordial Wilderness, at least openly.
The combination of Taiqing and the Ink Jade Qilin was even less likely to be provoked by any living being in the current Primordial Wilderness.
Even if there were any, they could easily deal with them.
The distance between Buzhou Mountain and the Eastern Sea was unimaginably vast.
Even at the speed of an Ink Jade Qilin in the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, traveling continuously at full speed.
It still took a full four or five Eons to reach the shores of the Eastern Sea from the foot of Buzhou Mountain.
"Master, we have reached the shores of the Eastern Sea. Where should we go next?"
After traveling at full speed for four or five Eons, even the Ink Jade Qilin was somewhat unable to endure it.
His aura was noticeably weaker than when he had first encountered Taiqing at Buzhou Mountain.
"Hah..."
On the Ink Jade Qilin's back, Taiqing exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes.
Five colors flashed within his eyes.
Those five colors represented five laws.
Throughout those four or five Eons, Taiqing had sat cross-legged on the Ink Jade Qilin's back, comprehending the laws.
Hard work did not betray those who persevered. He had already comprehended all five individual Five Elements Laws.
Moreover, he had comprehended each of the individual laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
All that remained was to merge the Five Elements and comprehend the Innate Five Elements Law.
Taiqing could not help marveling at his heaven-defying comprehension.
For any other living being in the Primordial Wilderness, let alone comprehending five laws and bringing every one of them to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
If they could comprehend even one of the individual laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
To the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm within four or five Eons, they could be called exceptionally gifted.
"Could Pangu Father God's marrow have enhanced my comprehension?"
Taiqing could clearly feel that his comprehension had grown vastly stronger than before.
Though his comprehension had been heaven-defying before, if he wanted to comprehend the individual laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
It would likely have taken at least over ten Eons.
How could it compare to after refining the Pangu Marrow, when his comprehension had become heaven-defying to such a degree?
Throughout these four or five Eons, he had been carried around everywhere by the Ink Jade Qilin.
Such an environment was even less conducive to calming his mind and comprehending laws.
"It seems I still underestimated the effects of Pangu Father God's marrow.
Not only did it temper my foundation and grant me a body as powerful as those younger brothers and sisters among the Twelve Ancestral Witches.
It also invisibly enhanced my comprehension."
Only after truly experiencing the power of the Pangu Marrow did Taiqing sigh at what an immense opportunity it was.
Taiqing eagerly looked forward to returning sooner.
So that Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao could refine the Pangu Marrow sooner.
Furthermore, once the Twelve Ancestral Witches were born, he could let them refine the Pangu Marrow. Perhaps the Twelve Ancestral Witches might even develop Primordial Spirits.
Or rather, retain their Primordial Spirits.
"You have worked hard, Ink Jade Qilin. From here on, there is no need to travel at full speed.
Head in that direction. I have a feeling that there should be something to gain there."
Though the Ink Jade Qilin had already become his mount, Taiqing still needed to offer a few courteous words.
After all, the Ink Jade Qilin would count as part of his public image from now on.
Just like a man's mount, taking it out was a matter of face.
Taiqing pointed in a direction. He was not pointing at random, but following the location of the Three Immortal Islands from his memories.
Furthermore, a faint and vague sensation came from within Taiqing's Primordial Spirit.
Something in the direction he had pointed was drawing him there.
Its pull, however, was exceedingly weak.
So weak that if Taiqing had not already intended to head in that direction and carefully sensed the state of his Primordial Spirit, he would not have detected it at all.
"By your command, Master."
At Taiqing's words of appreciation, the Ink Jade Qilin felt that all his hardship over so many Eons had been worthwhile.
In the Primordial Wilderness, where strength reigned supreme, what superior would treat those beneath him as actual living beings?
For that reason alone, the Ink Jade Qilin felt that Beginning Qilin had not been wrong to send him to follow Taiqing.
Before the Ink Jade Qilin could carry Taiqing in that direction.
Waves rose in the Eastern Sea, and a voice came from within them.
"Master, this little dragon, Ao Jiang, has awaited you here for a long time. I beg you to accept this little dragon.
This little dragon is willing to obey your commands. Wherever you point, this little dragon will not dare refuse."
From amid the waves, a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon leaped forth, then transformed into a Dao Body and knelt before Taiqing.
The devotion on his face did not seem false.
His cultivation was astonishingly at the same Early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm as the Ink Jade Qilin.
"Ao Jiang? Have you also come to repay Causality to me?"
Having already experienced the matter with the Ink Jade Qilin, Taiqing immediately recalled what the Ink Jade Qilin had said when he saw the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appear.
The Ink Jade Qilin had previously said that Taiqing had saved the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans.
The Qilin Clan had already sent a younger member of their clan to repay Causality.
As the strongest clan among the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, the Dragon Clan could not possibly offer nothing.
Sure enough, Ao Jiang's answer confirmed Taiqing's speculation.
"Reporting to Master, Ao Jiang indeed came to repay Causality.
I beg Master to accept this little dragon. This little dragon is willing to serve as your means of travel."
Ao Jiang reported truthfully.
