The Primordial Era's Thirty-Six Heavens

After speaking, he took out an axe-shaped Spiritual Treasure from the System space and handed it to Zhao Gongming, saying calmly, "Zhao Gongming, this treasure is for you."

"You are my disciple. This High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Mountain Splitting Axe, is bestowed upon you for self-defense."

"Thank you, Master!" Zhao Gongming said gratefully as he took the Mountain Splitting Axe.

Li Peng nodded, then took out a sword-shaped Spiritual Treasure from the System space and handed it to Yunxiao, saying, "Yunxiao, this is the High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the Mother-Child Twin Swords, bestowed upon you for protection."

"Thank you, Master!" Yunxiao said gratefully as she took the Mother-Child Twin Swords.

Afterward, Li Peng separately bestowed a High-Grade Innate Spirit Treasure upon Qiongxiao and Bixiao.

Having done this, Li Peng spoke, "Your Master will be traveling the Primordial Era next. You shall remain here and cultivate diligently. When I return, I will take you to my Dao field to train."

"Yes! Master!" The Five Xi'an and Zhao Gongming responded in unison.

After arranging for his disciples, Li Peng rode a auspicious cloud and flew directly towards the place where he was born.

The reason he returned was that he had calculated that his younger brother, Kong Xuan, was about to be born. Otherwise, he might have returned directly to Three Immortal Island to go into seclusion, create the Thirty-Six Heavens, or find a way to merge his three corpses.

In less than ten years, Li Peng returned to his birthplace.

Looking at the giant egg shimmering with multicolored light before him, his heart was filled with emotion.

Li Peng and Kong Xuan were originally twin brothers. Now, he, the Golden Winged Great Peng, was already a powerful being at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, yet Kong Xuan had not yet taken human form.

In the original Primordial Era history, the Golden Winged Great Peng was a useless individual who couldn't be helped. If not for his elder brother's protection, he would have likely perished many times over.

Thinking of this, Li Peng's gaze towards the multicolored giant egg became exceptionally gentle.

"Kong Xuan, rest assured. With me here in this life, I will protect you completely and help you attain Hunyuan." Li Peng silently vowed.

As his thoughts drifted, a voice entered his mind:

"Who are you? Why do I feel a very familiar aura from you?"

"I am your elder brother, the Golden Winged Great Peng. Your inherited memories should contain records about me," Li Peng replied with a smile.

"My elder brother?" Kong Xuan asked doubtfully.

Immediately, Kong Xuan began to search through his inherited memories.

After a while, he asked, "Big Brother, we were clearly born at the same time. Why did you take human form so much earlier than me?"

Li Peng felt helpless upon hearing this. He couldn't possibly tell Kong Xuan that he had a cheat.

"It's merely a difference in talent and effort," Li Peng said with a faint smile.

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan fell silent, seemingly quite disheartened.

Li Peng looked at the giant egg, which had already reached the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, and asked, "Kong Xuan! Are you planning to break through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal before taking human form?"

"Precisely," Kong Xuan answered concisely.

Li Peng fell into thought upon hearing this.

If Kong Xuan were to take human form now, his Great Luo Flower would bloom at most at the seventh or eighth grade. Although it would not be inferior to top-tier Innate powerful beings, attaining Hunyuan would still be extremely difficult.

Theoretically, there was still a sliver of hope with a seventh-grade bloom, but in the history of the Primordial Era, no one who bloomed a seventh-grade flower had ever truly attained Hunyuan.

How could he improve Kong Xuan's foundation?

Suddenly, Li Peng had an inspiration and came up with an idea.

He immediately pointed a finger at the giant egg, and a beam of light instantly entered it.

After receiving the information, Kong Xuan exclaimed in surprise, "This Nine Revolutions Profound Technique actually originated from Great God Pangu. It is truly profound!"

Li Peng merely smiled slightly, offering no explanation.

After Kong Xuan calmed down, Li Peng said, "Don't rush to break through to Grand Unity yet. Wait until you cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the peak of the sixth turn before breaking through. It's not too late."

"Why? Wouldn't it be easier to cultivate this technique after achieving Grand Unity?" Kong Xuan asked, confused.

"At the Grand Unity realm, the Three Flowers are already formed, and the grade of the flowers determines one's potential. If you cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the peak of the sixth turn, your physical body and Primordial Spirit will both enter the Grand Unity realm, and the grade of your Three Flowers will surely improve, leading to a broader path in the future," Li Peng explained.

Kong Xuan immediately understood that his elder brother was paving the way for him to attain the Dao.

"Thank you, Big Brother!" Kong Xuan said gratefully.

"We are brothers, there's no need for thanks," Li Peng waved his hand.

Then, Li Peng took out nine Yellow Middle Plums from the System space and handed them towards the giant egg, saying, "These spiritual fruits will help you cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and achieve twice the result with half the effort."

A flash of multicolored light appeared, and the nine Yellow Middle Plums instantly vanished.

Li Peng recognized it as Kong Xuan's innate divine ability – the Five-Colored Divine Light.

He suddenly thought that Kong Xuan might not understand what the Yellow Middle Plums were.

If he swallowed all nine fruits in one go, he might...

He might just explode from the energy contained within these nine fruits before his dear brother Kong Xuan was even born.

Li Peng quickly reminded him, "Kong Xuan! Each of these Yellow Middle Plums contains enough Magic Power to break through from Earth Immortal to Grand Unity Golden Immortal. You can only eat one at a time at most."

Kong Xuan was shocked upon hearing this.

He hadn't expected these nine fruits before him to be so precious, with each one capable of creating a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. With such terrifying medicinal power, what grade must the spiritual root that bore these fruits be?

A surge of warmth rose in Kong Xuan's heart as he thought of this.

This elder brother, whom he had never met, had gifted him a magical artifact and bestowed upon him spiritual fruits. How could Kong Xuan, who had been alone until now, not be moved?

"Thank you, Big Brother!" Kong Xuan said gratefully.

"It's nothing. Refine the Yellow Middle Plum as soon as possible and strive to take human form. Big Brother is waiting for you to roam the Primordial Era together!" Li Peng chuckled.

"Yes! Big Brother, I will definitely work hard," Kong Xuan replied solemnly.

Li Peng nodded in satisfaction, then sat cross-legged on a nearby cliff to plan his next move.

"The Witch-Demon tribes are flourishing now, and the cultivation of powerful beings in the world will usher in a leap. The most urgent thing is to improve my strength—where should I start?" Li Peng pondered inwardly.

As he was thinking, the System's prompt suddenly sounded:

"Ding! Detected that the host has a strong desire to become stronger, please make a choice!"

"Choice One: Break through the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the ninth turn, achieving Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal with the physical body. Reward: Three drops of Pangu's Essence Blood, Great Dao of Strength Law (two-tenths)."

"Choice Two: Merge the Three Flowers into one, achieving Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal. Reward: One million years of Magic Power, Innate Supreme Treasure World-Destroying Millstone!"

"Choice Three: Create the Thirty-Six Heavens, obtaining a Spiritual Treasure comparable to an Innate Supreme Treasure. Reward: One million years of Magic Power, Law of Yang Law increased by one layer."

"Please make your choice as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing the System's prompt, Li Peng was overjoyed.

Every time he triggered the choice system, he would obtain treasures or cultivation. What he needed most right now was an increase in strength.

He eagerly looked at the first option.

However, after seeing the content clearly, he was somewhat speechless.

Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal?

If achieving Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal with the physical body was so easy, why would the Twelve Ancestor Witches be unable to break through for so long?

Although Li Peng possessed a drop of Pangu's Essence Blood, it could only increase his chances of achieving the Dao by thirty percent.

More importantly, he felt that his physical body was still far from the Hunyuan realm, requiring at least several epochs of refinement.

Therefore, Li Peng could only gaze at the generous rewards with a sigh of helplessness.

He then turned to the second choice—the unification of the Three Corpses to achieve Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.

"So the Dao of the Three Corpses can indeed lead to Hunyuan! Hongjun did not deceive us," Li Peng murmured.

This method is excellent!

He had severed the Three Corpses with spiritual treasures of the same origin, so merging them should not be difficult.

At this thought, Li Peng's heart grew excited.

But then he sensed something was wrong—Hongjun had passed down the Dao of the Three Corpses but had not taught the method for merging them.

Back then, all the Immortals were overjoyed to receive this marvelous method, and none of them noticed that the Dao Ancestor had kept this trick up his sleeve.

Li Peng was immediately bewildered.

He then looked at the third option listed by the System: creating the Thirty-Six Heavens.

Now that the thirty-six Sea-Calming Divine Beads and the Universe Ruler were all in his hands, creating worlds within the beads was not difficult.

The reward for this choice was exactly what Li Peng urgently needed—the Law of Yang increased by fifty percent, which could help balance Yin and Yang and exert greater power.

Just as he was about to choose the third option, he suddenly exclaimed, "How foolish I am! These three choices are not mutually exclusive, why not take all of them?"

He immediately said to the System, "I choose all three!"

"Does the host confirm choosing one, two, and three simultaneously?"

"Confirm!"

"Selection complete, please complete the task as soon as possible."

Li Peng smiled happily, "The Yin-Yang Laws can finally be balanced!"

He then circulated his Magic Power and began to act.

Li Peng took out the thirty-six Sea-Calming Divine Beads and the Universe Ruler, preparing to act immediately. He remembered that in the history of the Primordial Era, Randeng had used twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Beads along with the Universe Ruler to create twenty-four heavens, achieving the Quasi-Saint realm and becoming a renowned expert.

Li Peng's current cultivation had reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm. Creating a mere Minor World would not be difficult, but he planned to create a Low-grade Middle World within the Sea-Calming Divine Beads. World levels were divided into Minor Worlds, Middle Worlds, Great Worlds, Eternal Worlds, and Primordial Worlds, with each world further divided into four tiers: Low-grade, Middle-grade, High-grade, and Peak.

Li Peng had long estimated that the Sea-Calming Divine Beads could hold a maximum of one Low-grade Middle World. Once successful, each Sea-Calming Divine Bead would contain a world. With thirty-six of them combined, their power would surely be among the forefront of Innate Supreme Treasures.

After figuring this out, Li Peng took two deep breaths and flashed into one of the Sea-Calming Divine Beads. Upon entering, he immediately used the Dharma Body Manifestation divine ability, his body rapidly expanding until it reached tens of thousands of feet before stopping.

He reached out and summoned the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Merit Ruler, looking at the surrounding chaotic void. His internal Magic Power poured continuously into the ruler. However, Li Peng dared not unleash his full power, fearing that he might accidentally destroy the Sea-Calming Divine Bead, a regret he could not afford.

He concentrated his mind and spirit, and the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Merit Ruler suddenly slashed forward. A terrifying ruler's light erupted, and with a thunderous roar, a large area of chaos was split open. The chaotic energy fiercely collided with the ruler's light, transforming into earth, water, fire, and wind.

However, the chaos immediately began to erode the newly created space, and the earth, water, fire, and wind gradually returned to chaos. Fortunately, the chaotic space within the Sea-Calming Divine Bead was limited, so the erosion speed was very slow.

Li Peng smiled slightly upon seeing this and said, "It seems that stabilizing this newly created world is not difficult!"

As his voice fell, he swung the ruler in his hand again, and a sharp ruler's light burst forth.

In an instant, that space expanded outwards by a few more feet.

Li Peng swung his ruler, strike after strike, expanding this space bit by bit.

Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, ten years passed. This space finally reached the scale of a low-grade Medium Thousand World.

Li Peng stopped swinging his ruler.

However, the moment he stopped, the earth began to rise slowly, while the sky gradually sank.

Clearly, this world was not yet completely stable and was starting to close in, about to return to chaos.

Li Peng was not flustered. He immediately summoned the Innate Supreme Treasure, the Chaos Yin-Yang Pagoda, making it as tall as the world itself, temporarily holding up the heavens and the earth.

At the same time, he took out the Universe Ruler, channeling his surging magic power into it.

In an instant, a magnificent aura erupted from the Universe Ruler.

With his power accumulated, Li Peng threw the ruler into the sky and declared loudly:

"Power of the Universe, stabilize heaven and earth! Power of heaven and earth, solidify!"

As he shouted, an invisible wave spread to every corner of this newly formed Medium Thousand World.

Where the wave reached, the raging earth, water, fire, and wind gradually subsided.

The world's barrier, eroded by chaotic energy, was also gradually reinforced.

A hundred years later, this low-grade Medium Thousand World finally stabilized completely.

Low-grade Medium Thousand World, successfully created!

Time flew by, and over three thousand years passed in a flash.

Li Peng had already created a low-grade Medium Thousand World within each of the three Sea-Calming Divine Beads.

Meanwhile, Kong Xuan had cultivated the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique to the peak of the sixth layer a hundred years prior. He had been suppressing his cultivation only because Li Peng had not yet emerged from seclusion.

But now, he could no longer suppress it.

The next moment, the Three Flowers above Kong Xuan's head bloomed in succession.

The Heavenly Flower bloomed first, one petal, two petals, three petals... all the way to nine petals.

After the Heavenly Flower settled at nine petals, the Earthly Flower bloomed, from one petal to eight petals.

The Earthly Flower stopped at eight petals, and then the Human Flower bloomed, also opening to eight petals.

After the Three Flowers bloomed together, Kong Xuan's aura surged dramatically.

In just a moment, an aura belonging to a Grand Unity Golden Immortal emanated from him.

Kong Xuan broke through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm, feeling that the time for his emergence had arrived. As soon as his voice fell, the five-colored light on the surface of the giant egg suddenly flowed, and it shattered with a roar. A giant peacock, its tail feathers shimmering with five-colored light of blue, yellow, red, black, and white, soared into the sky, circling freely among the clouds.
