Primordial Era: Becoming Laozi's Disciple, I Forge a Mythical Golden Elixir

Every household brought out their most prized possessions, be it magical artifacts or spiritual roots and materials, all vying to gift them to Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan naturally couldn't accept them. After his refusal, all the Human Race members became even more grateful.

"Big brother, this Cloud Ploughing Hoe is your ancestral treasure, I truly cannot accept it."

As Luo Xuan politely declined, he saw the last of the Human Race strongmen out of his courtyard.

After the strongman left with disappointment, Luo Xuan suddenly felt the pills within his body begin to spin uncontrollably.

Luo Xuan was a little confused at first.

However, in the next moment, Luo Xuan felt something surging towards him from all directions.

After the Human Race's destiny improved, another wave of destiny flowed towards Luo Xuan!

The immense destiny seemed to gather from the soles of his feet and rush directly to the crown of Luo Xuan's head.

Under the assimilation of the pills, Luo Xuan's cultivation instantly rose from the middle stage of Grand Unity to the late stage of Grand Unity.

But it wasn't over yet.

Under the massive influx of destiny, the bottleneck between Grand Unity and Grand Unity Golden Immortal seemed to cease to exist.

Dozens of golden lotuses suddenly appeared above Luo Xuan's head.

The powerful beings who had just been about to disperse their divine senses immediately reconsolidated them, all looking at Luo Xuan in unison.

"This is..."

"Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown!"

Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown signifies becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

These powerful beings had naturally witnessed such a scene before.

However, they still trembled with their divine senses, counting the golden lotuses above Luo Xuan's head again and again.

One, two, three...

A total of twelve golden lotuses!

"Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Twelve-Petal Bloom!"

Laozi exclaimed, his pupils trembling violently.

As one of the top powerful beings of the Primordial Era, he and the other two of the Three Pure Ones had only achieved nine petals when they reached Grand Unity.

Laozi never expected that someone in the Primordial Era could actually reach the legendary twelve petals.

Heavenly Court.

Enormous demonic beasts gathered at the edges of the Heavenly Court.

There were pangolins as large as small mountains, their back armor gleaming with a metallic luster; white foxes with six or seven tails, their eyes flashing with cunning; and centipedes that were merely the size of small trees in their eyes, their forelegs rubbing their noses, dripping dark green saliva that emitted a foul stench, revealing their potent poison...

Each of these demonic beasts was a renowned great demon within the Heavenly Court.

At a rough count, there were over a dozen gathered here.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

When all the demonic beasts had arrived, footsteps echoed from the nearby woods.

A figure walked over unhurriedly.

His steps were small, yet each one covered several meters.

Upon seeing him, all the demonic beasts lowered their heads and spoke in human tongues.

"Greetings, Demon Master!"

Kunpeng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Do you know why I summoned you?"

"We know!" all the demonic beasts shouted.

Kunpeng nodded and continued, "Tell me."

"Head to Shouyang Mountain and hunt the Human Race!"

As they spoke, a bloodthirsty and cruel light flashed in all the demonic beasts' eyes.

Chapter 44: Heavenly Punishment

Although the crowd had long dispersed, the Human Race still paid close attention to Luo Xuan's every move.

Many people noticed Luo Xuan's abnormality immediately.

"Such beautiful golden lotuses."

A Human Race child's eyes sparkled as he saw the golden lotuses appearing above Luo Xuan's head.

The crowd subtly gathered again, but they kept their distance.

The child's mother quickly pulled his hand. The Human Race's foundation was too shallow, and no one had ever witnessed such a scene.

"This is Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown!" someone finally shouted from the crowd.

"The Golden Elixir cultivation method mentions that no matter what method it is, as long as Three Flowers Gather at the Crown, one can achieve Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"

Even Suiren Shi and the others flew into Luo Xuan's courtyard, watching as Luo Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

Suiren Shi laughed heartily, looking at Luo Xuan with some astonishment. "Luo Xuan, I didn't expect you to achieve Grand Unity so quickly."

His eyes held excitement and relief, but also a faint hint of disappointment.

He hadn't even had time to celebrate his breakthrough to Grand Unity Golden Immortal before Luo Xuan became a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

It was just so sudden.

However, Suiren Shi was genuinely happy for Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan smiled, his eyes grave. "Old Ancestor, we can discuss this matter later."

Suiren Shi and the others were stunned, then noticed Luo Xuan's gaze subtly directed towards the sky.

What was in the sky?

Suiren Shi looked up in confusion, then saw that the sky was filled with oppressive tribulation clouds, which were even spreading.

Although Shouyang Mountain had seen tribulation clouds every moment for the past few days, Suiren Shi still had a glimmer of understanding.

These were Luo Xuan's tribulation clouds.

Ziyi Clan gazed at the tribulation clouds, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion. "What kind of tribulation clouds are these?"

Lightning flashed within the tribulation clouds, but each flash of lightning was completely different from the last.

The humans on Shouyang Mountain were also confused.

They had seen too many lightning tribulations these past few days, but this was the first time they had seen such a tribulation.

"Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation!"

It was Nuwa, with her extensive knowledge, who recognized it first.

Among the myriad races of the Primordial Era, many had cultivation methods that were accompanied by lightning tribulations upon advancement.

The Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation, as the name suggested, involved eight layers of seventy-two bolts of lightning descending.

Each layer of the lightning tribulation was distinct.

"It's actually the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation! Does this tribulation descend upon Grand Unity Golden Immortals?"

Soon, many powerful beings recognized the origin of the tribulation.

"Eight layers of lightning tribulation, each capable of flaying flesh and stripping bone. How can a human draw it down?"

Fuxi saw the worry in Nuwa's eyes and smiled. "This kid is a monster, with rare talent. Are you still worried about him?"

Nuwa's beautiful eyes flickered. "This is not a tribulation for the Grand Unity realm. Even a Quasi-Saint might not be able to pass the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation, let alone him."

Hearing the subtle solemnity in Nuwa's tone, Fuxi fell silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, Twelve-Petal Bloom. Luo Xuan has achieved what we could not. This is the first time such a phenomenon has been seen in the Primordial Era."

Nuwa rubbed her slender jade fingers. "Even so, such a tribulation shouldn't be descending, should it?"

Luo Xuan's rise could be said to be something Nuwa had watched step by step. She couldn't quite describe her feelings for this human.

Moreover, Luo Xuan had increased the Human Race's destiny and aided her cultivation.

Thinking that such a young man was about to perish in the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation, she couldn't help but sigh.

The Witch Clan.

The Ancestor Witches, who had just been organizing the various tribes, immediately reconvened in Pangu Temple.

Zhu Rong chuckled. "That Luo Xuan kid is something else! Little sister, that power is so immense. If Luo Xuan can withstand it, will you stop us from going to fight Luo Xuan?"

Hou Tu retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're still saying this at a time like this."

The lightning tribulation at Shouyang Mountain made even her feel a sense of heart palpitations.

The Heavenly Court. Di Jun stood at the apex of the great hall.

He looked towards Shouyang Mountain with schadenfreude.

"Heaven truly aids me! Strike, strike! It's best to blast Shouyang Mountain to smithereens, saving my Heavenly Court the trouble."

"No, that's not right. Luo Xuan, you'd best withstand it. At the very least, don't let the Human Race's primal spirit be destroyed in the tribulation. As for you, I will personally extract your primal spirit. It must be the most powerful primal spirit among all humans."

A moment later, Di Jun spoke again, but without any pity, instead laughing wildly and unrestrainedly.

Those who held grudges against the Human Race and Luo Xuan also looked at Shouyang Mountain with schadenfreude.

In their eyes, Luo Xuan clearly had no chance of surviving the tribulation, and it was even possible that the entire Shouyang Mountain would be destroyed by it.

On Kunlun Mountain, Duobao's mood was much more complicated.

He had just entered confinement when Tongtian informed him that Luo Xuan was undergoing tribulation.

"Luo Xuan, you can't die! Even if you have to die, you should be defeated by my hands first..."

Duobao looked towards Shouyang Mountain with a complex expression.

"But why would the Eight-Nine Lightning Tribulation descend? Could it be that Luo Xuan has violated some taboo?"
