Afterward, Lin Xuan withdrew the scattered thoughts from his mind.
He would wait until his cultivation had reached a higher level before doing those things.
One had to know that Great God Pangu had definitely waited until his cultivation reached the Hunyuan Tenth Heaven before choosing to create the heavens and earth.
And he was currently only a "mere" Hunyuan First Heaven Great Dao Saint.
It was fine to casually create a vast world for fun.
As for creating the Primordial World, he would wait until his cultivation reached the same realm as Great God Pangu before considering it.
Otherwise, if he failed to create the heavens and ended up dying instead, he would become a laughingstock.
After making this decision, Lin Xuan's thoughts stirred, and he recalled the Primordial Bead into his sea of consciousness.
Then, his divine soul swept lightly across the entire Golden Ao Island.
He discovered that almost all his junior brothers and junior sisters were peacefully meditating and cultivating.
Some were consolidating what they had gained from listening to the Dao, while others were refining the spirit treasures Lin Xuan had bestowed upon them.
After becoming a saint, Lin Xuan had erased the original owners' imprints—the imprints left behind by the four saints—from the spirit treasures he had seized.
He had also used the Chaos Bead to obscure and muddle their senses.
Thus, the Interception Sect's junior brothers and junior sisters who had received the treasures had no need to worry about being unable to refine them.
Lin Xuan also discovered something rather unexpected.
Qiongxiao was lounging comfortably on a cloud bed, leisurely crossing her legs.
The Purple-Gold Red-Skin Gourd he had given her was floating above her.
Pills radiating dense spiritual energy flew out of the gourd from time to time, dropping into Qiongxiao's cherry-red mouth.
After eating the spirit pills as though they were candy, Qiongxiao smacked her lips, still unsatisfied.
She casually shook the Wind Fire Banana Fan in her hand.
Lin Xuan was rendered speechless. Qiongxiao looked so lazy that she was practically missing only a bottle of soda and some fried chicken beside her.
At once, Lin Xuan used his divine soul to manipulate the primordial energy in Qiongxiao's cave abode, turning it into a finger that lightly flicked her forehead.
Qiongxiao had been enjoying herself leisurely, but after being flicked, she immediately sat up on the cloud bed and gripped the Wind Fire Banana Fan tightly.
Her small face nervously surveyed her surroundings.
"What monster dares trespass into Empress Qiongxiao's cave abode!"
"Do you know who my Senior Disciple Brother is? He's a saint of this era!"
"Show yourself at once!"
Seeing Qiongxiao acting as though she had borrowed someone else's might, Lin Xuan could not help laughing. He then sent his voice to her:
"Qiongxiao, cultivate properly. Don't rely too much on the power of pills, lest your foundation become unstable in the future."
Hearing Senior Disciple Brother Lin Xuan's voice, Qiongxiao instinctively pouted and said with slight annoyance:
"Senior Disciple Brother, so it was you. You nearly scared me to death just now."
"I thought someone had secretly infiltrated Golden Ao Island."
Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly when he heard that.
Not to mention that Golden Ao Island was currently protected by the two peerless formations he had set up—even if someone had managed to sneak in, they probably would not have waited for you, Qiongxiao, to notice them.
Lin Xuan immediately said:
"Stop thinking about such nonsense and cultivate properly. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be unable to sense the fluctuations of my divine soul."
When Qiongxiao heard this, her phoenix eyes widened slightly.
She felt that Senior Disciple Brother Lin Xuan was making things unnecessarily difficult for her.
He had already proven the Dao and become a saint. How could she possibly detect him?
However, she could not bring herself to say that in rebuttal.
Thus, Qiongxiao could only sit cross-legged on the meditation cushion with an aggrieved expression and begin cultivating seriously.
Seeing Qiongxiao like this, Lin Xuan smiled in satisfaction, feeling his Dao heart grow clear and unburdened.
Sure enough.
Occasionally bullying this soft and adorable Junior Sister was beneficial to both body and mind.
No wonder his cheap master back then had enjoyed putting on a stern face to scold and urge others to cultivate.
Afterward, Lin Xuan's divine-soul radiance left Qiongxiao's cave abode.
He swept his gaze over all the cultivators on Golden Ao Island.
He discovered that most of his junior brothers and junior sisters were actually very diligent.
They were all wholeheartedly cultivating in seclusion, and there were very few lazybones like Qiongxiao.
Even the spirit birds and auspicious beasts that had listened to him lecture were all cultivating as though racing against time, cherishing this rare opportunity to comprehend the Great Dao.
The entire Golden Ao Island was filled with a thriving scene.
Lin Xuan even discovered that the auspicious beast Kui Niu, the mount of his cheap master, was also inhaling and exhaling the Pure-Upper Immortal Light.
If nothing unexpected happened, it would not be long before this Kui Niu could transform into human form.
In Lin Xuan's memories, this Kui Niu seemed to be the future Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven, Bull Demon King.
He wondered what expression his cheap master would wear upon returning and seeing the mount he had ridden for countless years transform into a burly, rough-looking man.
After imagining that scene, an irrepressible smile immediately appeared on Lin Xuan's face.
At that moment, a strange sensation suddenly arose in Lin Xuan's heart.
Hmm?
A whim?
