Sensation

One man, one dragon, and one qilin swiftly rushed into the spiritual energy vortex.

The moment he entered Penglai Immortal Island, the incomparably dense Innate Spiritual Qi frantically burrowed into Taiqing's body.

Taiqing had never seen Innate Spiritual Qi this proactive before.

When he cultivated in the Primordial Wilderness in the past, absorbing Innate Spiritual Qi had been as difficult as begging for food.

Yet now, this spiritual energy was actually taking the initiative to enter his body.

Its eagerness left Taiqing somewhat stunned.

Taiqing had no mind to concern himself with the Innate Spiritual Qi voluntarily entering his body.

Instead, he carefully surveyed the immortal aura-wreathed Penglai Immortal Island.

An unusual ancient stele stood at the island's perimeter, bearing the two ancient divine characters: "Penglai."

Upon seeing these two divine characters, whether or not a living being understood divine script, they would instinctively know that this island was named Penglai.

Looking out, exotic flowers, rare herbs, spiritual plants, and spiritual roots covered the land, while immortal birds and spiritual beasts roamed among the mountains and wilderness.

The extraordinarily dense Innate Spiritual Qi directly liquefied, forming sheets of spiritual rain that fell from above.

Innate spiritual liquid gathered into rivers, lakes, and vast oceans of spiritual liquid.

It was truly a scene worthy of the most exceptional blessed land and cave paradise in the Primordial Wilderness.

At the center of Penglai Immortal Island stood an Innate Great Formation that protected the area.

From that Innate Great Formation, Taiqing sensed a faint trace of Innate Donghua Supreme True Qi.

"Presumably, that is where Dong Wang Gong will be nurtured in the future.

"The day Dong Wang Gong is born will be the day Penglai Immortal Island emerges into the Primordial Wilderness."

"Sure enough, within Penglai Immortal Island, the Heavenly Dao's suppression of living beings has vanished.

"However, once Penglai Immortal Island emerges, this effect will likely be greatly weakened.

"Poor Daoist should break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm as quickly as possible.

"Dong Wang Gong may be born at any time."

Taiqing no longer concerned himself with anything else. He found an ocean of Innate spiritual liquid, plunged into it, and began the crucial task of breaking through.

Whatever Dong Wang Gong's future might be had nothing to do with the current Taiqing.

Penglai Immortal Island would only intersect with the Primordial Wilderness for around one Eon.

Taiqing had to break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm within this Eon or so.

As Taiqing entered that ocean of Innate spiritual liquid, it began to diminish at a rapid pace.

Above Taiqing's head, the Yin Yang Law, Five Elements Law, and Heaven and Earth Law manifested.

Twelve laws intertwined, but an empty space remained at their core.

Taiqing did not intend to abandon his plan of using the Law of Strength as his core.

That central position had been reserved by Taiqing for the Law of Strength.

Even with that core left vacant, Taiqing could ensure that he would break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm.

"What a terrifying cultivation phenomenon. I have only seen such a phenomenon among the elders of my clan."

While Taiqing cultivated with all his effort, Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang were not idle either.

The dragon and qilin stood guard around Taiqing. As they absorbed Innate spiritual liquid to accumulate magical power and cultivation, they also protected him.

Seeing the terrifying phenomenon caused by Taiqing's cultivation, Ink Jade Qilin spoke in shock.

The Qilin Clan's elders were naturally great powers of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm.

Taiqing was now absorbing that boundless ocean of spiritual liquid, circulating the laws he cultivated, and producing such a phenomenon.

It was already comparable to a Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power.

"Indeed, Poor Daoist has only seen such a cultivation phenomenon among my clan's elders.

"Presumably, Master will have his wish fulfilled and successfully break through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power Realm."

Ao Jiang looked expectantly toward Taiqing's location.

They had chosen a good master.

Before even breaking through, his phenomenon could already rival a Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power.

If he broke through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power Realm, even ordinary Early-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal great powers would likely be no match for Taiqing.

Such a monstrous genius as Taiqing was probably beyond even their own Old Ancestors.

His future achievements would certainly be extraordinary. Perhaps he might even attain that legendary realm.

As Taiqing's mounts, their status would naturally rise along with his.

Ink Jade Qilin and Ao Jiang both secretly rejoiced that they had successfully fought their way out of the encirclement and been sent by their clans' Old Ancestors to serve as mounts.

The dragon and qilin now completely accepted their identities as mounts.

Originally, they had still taken pride in their identities as members of the Dragon Clan and Qilin Clan.

Now, the two had cast their clan identities to the back of their minds.

Even as mounts, they would become the foremost mounts in the Great Desolation World.

The dragon and qilin made such plans in their hearts.

"Alas, I wonder how Eldest Brother is doing out there. He has been gone for nearly ten Eons without sending back any news.

"Second Brother, have you felt unsettled lately, as though some major event concerning the fate of our Sanqing is about to occur?"

On Kunlun Mountain, the place where the Sanqing were being nurtured, Shangqing Lingbao's thoughts churned as he sent a message to Yuqing Yuanshi beside him.

Taiqing had been gone for nearly ten Eons. Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao had been silently cultivating by absorbing clear qi.

Had it not been for the strong connection among the Three Brothers, through which the two could sense that Taiqing was in no danger,

given Taiqing's behavior of not sending any messages back for nearly ten Eons,

the two brothers would likely have worried enough to emerge early and search for Taiqing.

"Third Brother, remain calm. We will soon emerge into the world.

"Once we two brothers have emerged, we will go seek Eldest Brother.

"Before leaving, Eldest Brother said he was going to resolve a matter concerning the destiny and future prospects of our Sanqing.

"Presumably, Eldest Brother is close to resolving that matter now. That is why we two brothers have developed this sensation."

Yuqing Yuanshi was unlike the figure in the impression of him. Not only did he not suppress Shangqing Lingbao at every turn,

but he also acted and thought with great steadiness and calm.

He cared deeply for Shangqing Lingbao as well.

He was completely unlike that selfish Yuanshi Celestial Venerable from the impression, who constantly called others "those born damp and hatched from eggs."

"Now that Second Brother puts it that way, your younger brother does have a guess. Eldest Brother may be about to break through.

"Eldest Brother has neither encountered danger nor fallen into a predicament, yet such a powerful resonance has arisen between us brothers.

"Perhaps Eldest Brother's breakthrough is the only possibility."

Shangqing Lingbao, who had still been somewhat restless, calmed after hearing Yuqing Yuanshi's analysis.

After some analysis, he had actually deduced the reason for the powerful spiritual resonance between the two brothers.

The Sanqing were one entity. With Taiqing about to break through, it was only natural for Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Lingbao to sense it.

"What is going on? Why does This Heavenly Dao feel a sense of danger? In this Primordial Wilderness, who could make This Heavenly Dao feel threatened?

"Could it be Pangu? Impossible. Pangu's death has already been confirmed.

"Even that Will of Pangu from some time ago was merely a gathering of Pangu's residual will."

Within the Heavenly Dao Origin Space, the Heavenly Dao, which had already fallen into slumber, felt a sense of danger arise in its heart.

The Heavenly Dao's instincts began to speculate.

Yet it could never find the source of that sense of danger. Before the Heavenly Dao could make any move, even its instincts were unable to think.

The injuries it had suffered from the Great Dao Thunder last time were far too severe.

It could not even slightly employ its instincts.

At the same time, in the Primordial Wilderness, Yin-Yang Ancestor, Old Ancestor Wuxing, and Qiankun Ancestor all felt a sensation arise in their hearts.
