Qing Huan's figure tore through layers of spatial turbulence and appeared above Yingzhou Island.
The radiance of Yin-Yang Qi flowed endlessly around him, instantly cleansing away the remaining battlefield Malevolent Qi and ashes, as if he had never been touched at all.
Below, the entire Yingzhou Island was shrouded in an eerie tranquility.
The Innate Grand Formation operates silently, isolating itself from internal and external spacetime, forming a pure and immaculate world of its own.
On the island, orchids and irises bloom, springs gurgle, and exotic flowers and herbs exhale pure spiritual energy, as if from the Primordial Chaos. Time seems to be stretched out and purified here, where ancient and youthful spirits coexist harmoniously.
This is the complete opposite of the bloody battles of Primordial Wilderness, a pristine land isolated from the world.
Qing Huan did not land immediately.
Hovering in the void, his gaze fell upon the core area of the island beneath his feet—an ancient region nourished by the rich Innate Wood Spirit Qi and the essence of One Yuan Heavy Water.
There, two powerful life energies, like stars about to break free from their cocoons, were surging and rising violently, their boundless vitality resonating with the spiritual veins of the entire Yingzhou Island.
A faint yet unmistakable hint of satisfaction flickered across the depths of Qing Huan's eyes.
At that very moment, two beams of Pure Light, like swords breaking free from ancient shackles, suddenly shot into the sky from that core area!
On the east side, the azure light surged like a tidal wave.
Piercing straight into the azure sky, that light was not a pure burst of energy, but contained the most primal life rhythm and the essence of the Wood element.
At the core of the pillar of light, a huge spirit stone, entirely black and covered with natural tortoise shell patterns, was trembling violently. Its surface, harder than diamond, was cracking inch by inch, and light more dazzling than the stars shone through the cracks.
The overwhelming pressure was like Primordial Divine Mountain suddenly awakening from its slumber, causing the spiritual veins of the entire Yingzhou Island to resonate in a deep, resonant way. The orchids bowed their heads, and the spiritual spring froze for a moment.
"Buzz--!"
A deep, resonant hum echoed throughout the heavens and earth, not originating from sound, but from the tremor of space itself.
The dark spirit stone exploded with a deafening roar, but instead of scattering, the countless fragments transformed into starlight, merging into the figure that manifested at its core.
It was a woman, wearing a black Daoist robe with star patterns. Her eyes seemed to contain countless stars that were born and died, illustrating the ultimate truth of the universe.
There was no deliberate pressure emanating from his body, but standing in the void, he exuded a profound sense of suppressing the eight wastelands and stabilizing the Universe.
It was Saint Mother Wudang —born from the Mysterious Spirit Stone Embryo. The moment she took Transformation, her aura was calm and vast, already reaching the realm of Mystic Immortal!
He lowered his head slightly, feeling the immense power within himself and the intimate connection with the island beneath his feet. His gaze finally settled on the Qing Huan suspended in the sky, his eyes filled with reverence and the serenity that comes after a long wait.
On the west side, deep within the abyss where One Yuan Heavy Water has solidified, turbulent undercurrents have transformed into invisible whirlpools.
A dark beam of light, deeper than the abyss and colder than ice, silently pierced the sea and shot straight into the sky.
Within the pillar of light, a colossal spirit tortoise, whose magnificence defies description, slowly rose.
At this moment, a deep blue-black light is flowing, as if it bears the weight of the entire sea and the ultimate softness and strength of One Yuan Heavy Water.
An ancient, weathered, and wise aura wafts over you, as if it came from the time before the creation of the Primordial Wilderness.
The giant tortoise raised its head, and its eyes, comparable to the sun and moon, opened. What was reflected deep in its pupils was not the scene before it, but a grand picture of the Primordial Chaos and the separation of the clear and the turbid.
It emitted a long, deep sound, and where the sound waves passed, the surging waves on the sea surface instantly froze, turning into countless inverted, crystalline icebergs, reflecting sunlight and Mysterious Light, both magnificent and awe-inspiring.
As the light shone, the giant tortoise's enormous body rapidly shrank and solidified, eventually transforming into an ethereal woman.
Holding a Dragon Head Staff was neither gold nor jade, but shaped like a tortoise shell, he gently tapped it.
"Thump!"
A dull thud resounded, as if striking the very foundation of the Primordial World.
With that sound, the countless inverted icebergs on the sea surface collapsed, turning into pure water essence that surged into the Gui Ling's body like swallows returning to their nests, nourishing his vast Magic Power, which had also reached the Mystic Immortal realm.
Saint Mother Gui Ling – Primordial Exotic Species, she attained enlightenment and became Mystic Immortal!
Qing Huan hung high in the sky, his black Daoist robe motionless in the lingering breeze of the spatial turbulence, the Yin-Yang Qi flowing around him slowly calming down.
Looking at the two disciples below, each with a different posture yet both radiating a powerful life force and profound Daoist charm, the sense of satisfaction in his eyes finally spread, transforming into a faint smile on his lips that was enough to melt away the ice of eternity.
"Okay, okay, okay."
He said "Good!" three times in a row. His voice was clear and melodious, containing no Magic Power whatsoever, yet it naturally echoed throughout the world of Yingzhou Island, carrying a sense of perfection.
"Wudang, Gui Ling, after ten thousand Kalpa finally achieved your goal today. The Great Dao is within reach, and I, your master... am extremely gratified."
Wudang hearing this, Wudang and Gui Ling both bowed respectfully in the direction of Qing Huan.
"Disciple greets Master! Thank you for your guidance and protection!"
Although the voice was not loud, it contained gratitude and reverence from the bottom of his heart, causing the spiritual energy on the island to fluctuate slightly once again.
Qing Huan accepted the greeting with a smile.
His gaze swept over the Daoist aura surrounding the two disciples— Wudang's was as heavy as a mountain, bearing the stars; Gui Ling's was as deep as the sea, encompassing all streams.
Seeing them reach the realm of Mystic Immortal for the first time, with a solid foundation and their path to enlightenment already unfolding, the sense of fulfillment of the inheritance in my heart became increasingly clear.
However, amidst this joy and relief, a deeper realization emerged, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, quietly creating ripples.
His gaze pierced through the two disciples, through the Immaculate Array of Yingzhou Island, and through the barriers of time and space. It seemed to see the countless Innate Lifeform struggling to explore the vast Primordial Earth.
Some grope in confusion, some struggle in danger, some waste their years due to limited talent, and some have their future cut off due to incomplete skills.
Although the Primordial Wilderness is vast and full of endless opportunities, only one in ten thousand beings can truly embark on the smooth path and glimpse the true face of the Great Dao.
Those figures struggling to survive on the edge of bloodshed, those sighs of those who sat in their Cave Mansion for thousands of years without finding the entrance, those mournful cries of those who died and perished because they went astray... like invisible tides, they impacted Qing Huan's Dao heart.
In the midst of this mental flux, an extremely distant yet incredibly clear image suddenly crashed into the depths of her consciousness—
Those were the twelve towering Ancestral Witch True Body, who laid down the awe-inspiring "Twelve Divine Fiend Array" on the Primordial Earth! The demonic energy soared to the sky, the laws boiled, and the power of the Pangu True Body Phantom shook time and space!
Scenes from the past, disciples before him, the plight of all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness... countless fragments collided, combined, and were rapidly deduced within Qing Huan's Dao Heart and Wisdom Sea!
It is not imitating that world-destroying formation, but rather capturing a trace of the supreme mystery that runs through the origin of life and Tongtian in the core of its operation!
