They sensed that a living being was on the verge of breaking through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm within the Dao they cultivated.
As the Dao Masters of the laws they controlled during the Chaos Era, if any living being cultivating a corresponding law was about to break through, they would naturally receive feedback.
In the Chaos Era, this feedback would have been extremely powerful.
As Dao Masters, they could obtain all the insights into the corresponding law from the later-coming cultivator.
Now, having reincarnated into the Primordial World to cultivate anew, though they no longer enjoyed the privileges of a Dao Master, they could still sense the commotion when other beings cultivating the same laws broke through to a higher realm.
"Who is it? To actually break through from the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao?"
This was the unanimous thought in the minds of the three reincarnated Chaos Demon God powerhouses.
At the same time, the three powerhouses also thought that such a formidable genius must be taken in as a disciple.
If they could not take him in as a disciple, they should utterly annihilate him.
A peerless genius who could withstand the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, stubbornly walk the Law Path to Sainthood, and attain the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm—
even though they were once Chaos Demon Gods, they still felt a fondness for talent.
But their fondness for talent was limited to the condition that the other party would bow to their sect.
Because such a peerless genius might very well threaten their Path of Dao.
The other party might even squeeze them out of their position as Dao Master!
Even if this possibility was extremely slim, they still had to nip it in the bud.
They could break through under the Heavenly Dao's suppression because they still carried the memories and law insights from their time as Chaos Demon Gods.
They only needed to re-cultivate along the familiar path to raise their realm, without worrying about the Heavenly Dao's suppression.
But even so, under the Heavenly Dao's suppression, their breakthroughs were still painfully slow.
If not for the Heavenly Dao's suppression, they would have long since broken through to the Hunyuan Grand Unity Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable realm.
But other living beings could not compare to them.
Walking the path of laws was already extremely difficult, let alone breaking through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm through the law path.
Ancestor Yin Yang, Old Ancestor Wuxing, and Old Ancestor Qiankun all made their moves, deducing the location of the being who had broken through.
Unfortunately, they were destined to find nothing.
That being who had broken through was, naturally, Taiqing.
With Penglai Immortal Island as a barrier, even the Heavenly Dao could not interfere with Penglai Immortal Island, let alone three powerhouses at the Late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.
Meanwhile, on Penglai Immortal Island, at the vast ocean of spiritual liquid where Taiqing was located, the original ocean of spiritual liquid, vast enough to fill an entire Lesser Thousand World, had been reduced by half.
And the massive amount of spiritual liquid was still burrowing into Taiqing's body at an astonishing speed.
Above Taiqing's head could be seen the Law of Yin, the Law of Yang, the Law of Yin and Yang, the individual laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, and the Five Elements Law, the Law of Qian, the Law of Kun, and the Law of Heaven and Earth.
Twelve laws were in complete turmoil, interweaving to form a crude Law World.
Within that Law World, the laws condensed into auspicious beast forms—dragons, phoenixes, qilins, and the like.
With a thunderous roar, the ocean of innate spiritual liquid centered on Taiqing was instantly drained dry over the area of a great world in a single moment.
Immediately after, an incredibly powerful aura erupted from Taiqing and spread wildly across Penglai Immortal Island.
The living beings who had entered Penglai Immortal Island seeking opportunities, upon sensing that terrifying aura, began to flee in panic.
"A Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power! A Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power has emerged!
Run! If that Great Power has any ill intentions, we might all be buried on this Penglai Immortal Island!"
The living beings shouted as they fled.
Since the Dragon Clan retreated from the Primordial World, after so many years, these living beings once again recalled the terror of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power.
It was an existence that could decide life and death with a single thought.
Those who claimed to be eternal and undying Immortal Golden Immortals, or even Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, could be extinguished in the eyes of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power with just a glance or a thought.
Among these aquatic races, the Dragon Clan's Hunyuan Golden Immortals did not have a good reputation.
After all, many of their ancestors had fallen on the road while fighting for the Dragon Clan.
Races unwilling to fight for the Dragon Clan had also been wiped out with a snap of a finger by the Dragon Clan's Great Powers.
Now that a Hunyuan Golden Immortal Great Power had appeared on Penglai Immortal Island, their first suspicion fell on the Dragon Clan.
Unlike the panicked creatures fleeing in all directions, Ao Jiang and the Ink Jade Qilin wore expressions of excitement as they looked toward Taiqing's location.
"He broke through! The master succeeded in his breakthrough!"
The Ink Jade Qilin was as thrilled as if he himself had broken through.
After all, he was destined to follow Taiqing from now on. If his master grew strong, then as his mount, he too would hold a certain status in the Primordial Wilderness.
"The master's breakthrough is so powerful, it rivals the clan's Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal elders!"
Feeling Taiqing's formidable oppressive aura, his face was full of disbelief.
Ao Jiang had once experienced the oppressive aura of the Dragon Clan's Old Ancestor when he broke through to Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Yet his own master, Taiqing, had just broken through to Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and his aura already matched that of the clan's Mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal Old Ancestor.
Truly worthy of being their master.
"Before chaos was divided, I already existed—I bow to neither Hongjun nor Heaven!
When the Primal Chaos overturned, one hand suppressed it; toppling Heaven and Earth, I establish a new era!
Yin and Yang reverse life and death; the Five Elements evolve into the Primordial Chaos.
Ten thousand laws return to the furnace; refining the Dao mends the azure firmament!
Sanqing bears witness to my Dao; the Ancestral Witches form a blood array!
Ten thousand spirits ignite the fire of wisdom, burning away the shackles of the old!
If the Heavenly Dao dares to boast of its power, one sword shall cut the Heavenly Scar for the Primordial Wilderness!"
Taiqing suddenly opened his eyes. Within his pupils, the Yin-Yang fish flickered, and the Five Elements Law and Heaven and Earth Law shimmered.
In an instant, the oppressive aura of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal that had filled Penglai Immortal Island dissipated completely.
Taiqing had finally broken through to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, walking the Law Path to Sainthood.
At this moment, his heart was incomparably relieved.
When he first emerged into the world, he was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, coveted by Old Thief Hongjun, and oppressed by the reincarnated powerhouses of the Chaos Demon Gods.
Now, with his breakthrough, he, Taiqing, could finally participate in the affairs of the Primordial Wilderness to some extent, gradually becoming a player on the board.
No longer a mere pawn in the eyes of the strong.
In his elation, Taiqing even chanted a Dao song, expressing the ambitions in his heart.
This was also within the heaven-concealing sanctuary of Penglai Immortal Island.
If he were in the Primordial Wilderness, he would never sing such a Dao song.
To openly utter such heaven-defying words against the Heavenly Dao in the Primordial Wilderness—the Heavenly Dao would never forgive such a rebel.
Just like in the novels Taiqing had read in his past life, where protagonists might say "My fate is mine to command, not Heaven's" or other rebellious declarations.
If anyone actually made such an oath in the Primordial Wilderness, just watch whether the Heavenly Dao would strike them down or not.
It would surely reduce them to ashes, not even leaving a trace of their true spirit, preventing any reincarnation.
"Congratulations, master, on breaking through to Hunyuan Golden Immortal and attaining the realm of a Great Power!"
Ao Jiang and the Ink Jade Qilin chose the perfect moment to step forward and offer their congratulations.
"This breakthrough was made possible by the two of you as well. This Seat will remember it.
In the future, I will surely reward you generously."
With his realm breakthrough, Taiqing was in a good mood.
If not for the Ink Jade Qilin serving as his mount, carrying him all the way from Buzhou Mountain, he would not have been able to break through in his peak state.
