Time flowed silently by.
Qingyuan was utterly immersed in the mysteries of cultivation, unable to extricate himself.
The Compendium of the Myriad Phenomena Yin-Yang Mysterious Pill Dao directly penetrated the essence of the Pill Dao.
Even so.
In his nearly thousand-year career of pill refining.
Qingyuan had forged a Divine Firmament Golden Core within his body!
This golden core was as tiny as a sesame seed; if someone were to magnify it, they would surely be stunned speechless.
This minuscule golden core.
Was covered in all kinds of Divine Firmament Immortal Gold, with Dragon Seals, Phoenix Glyphs, and Qilin Patterns adorning it like stars, sun, and moon, resembling the countless worlds of Ganges sand in the universe. Dense, dazzling Pill Dao laws spread across it like a starry tapestry, incomparably brilliant and eye-catching!!
If a cultivator immersed in the Pill Dao of the Primordial World saw this.
They would surely become hysterical and go mad for it!
This was the mark of the condensation of the Great Dao of Pill Law!!!
Unless one had comprehended the Pill Dao to a certain level and understood all kinds of pill methods in a comprehensive manner, it would be absolutely impossible to condense such a mark!!
And such a mark.
Even a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal who had turned to the Pill Dao might not necessarily be able to condense it.
Yet today, it appeared on a mere Mystic Immortal?
Wasn't that too absurd?!
If someone carefully examined the hundreds of apertures within Qingyuan's body, they would surely be even more astonished.
Because the Great Dao of Formations had also been thoroughly mastered by Qingyuan, transforming into myriad stars and phenomena spread throughout his hundreds of apertures and various meridians. He had even aligned the three hundred and sixty-five acupoints of his body with the three hundred and sixty-five stars of the heavens, using the human body to evolve a microcosm, drawing down the Primordial Star Divine Light of the Primordial World to temper his flesh.
He also operated the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique for refinement.
Continuing like this, even if Qingyuan did not actively cultivate, he could still push the Mysterious Technique to a profound realm!
The Pill Dao and Formation Dao provided an incomparably terrifying boost.
They directly propelled his cultivation to the peak of the Mystic Immortal Realm.
If Qingyuan had not wanted his flesh and Primordial Spirit to advance together, relying solely on his comprehension of the laws of the Sword Dao, Staff Dao, Pill Dao, and Formation Dao, he would likely have already condensed an Immortal True Spirit, refined his Primordial Spirit, stepped into the Golden Immortal ranks, comprehended the Five Elements Law, and refined the Five Qi in the Chest.
In the dojo.
Furnace after furnace of miraculous pills and potions, fragrant with medicine and shimmering with Immortal Light, were refined by Qingyuan.
These pills.
Were a great boon for Mystic Immortal beings; even Golden Immortal cultivators, upon seeing them, would likely throw away all pretense and fight for them, slaughtering until the sky turned dark!!
The Willow Immortal beside him.
Shook its leaves with a rustling sound.
If it had a mouth, its drool would probably have formed a Moon River Bay by now!!
Qingyuan was immersed in cultivation, forgetting the passage of time.
However.
The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease.
In the Kunlun Mountains, within the Ten Thousand Treasures Cave of Mount Fukong.
The cave was radiant with Immortal Light, treasures soaring to the heavens. A plump, fortune-blessed man shimmered with divine treasure patterns, exuding boundless mystery.
Suddenly.
Daoist Duobao, who had been in secluded cultivation, opened his eyes.
He pinched his fingers to perform a divination, his slightly furrowed brow slowly relaxing, and called out, "Is Junior Disciple Dingguang here?"
"Senior Disciple Duobao, I am here!"
A male voice responded from outside the cave.
Then, a figure in white robes hurried in.
This cultivator named Dingguang was a Congenital Rabbit Spirit who had attained the Dao. Although he was a Mystic Immortal, he still retained some beastly features—two long ears stood erect. His demeanor was rather gentle and proper, but his rolling eyes revealed that he was not as honest as he appeared on the surface.
"How long has it been since the Teacher last gave his sermon?"
Daoist Duobao glanced at him. Immortal Dingguang quickly replied, "Reporting to Senior Disciple Duobao, it has been ten thousand years."
"Ten thousand years ago, do you still remember the bet between Senior Disciple Qing and me?"
Duobao asked again.
Immortal Dingguang's eyes rolled, and he smiled, "This matter has spread far and wide; how could we not know? I'm afraid Senior Disciple Qing is too scared to show himself and is hiding behind secluded cultivation!"
"If Senior Disciple Duobao trusts me, I am willing to go and arrange this matter!"
"If that bastard Qingyuan dares not come out and fight, I'll use some trick to make him lose face so thoroughly he won't dare stay on Kunlun Mountain!!"
"If he's thick-skinned enough to insist on staying, I'll lure some fierce beasts to charge his dojo. If that fails, I'll have someone ambush and injure him in secret, make him back off knowing he can't win!"
"Mm, I heard the Teacher is looking for a few sword attendants. If you handle this well, I can put in a word for you to become an Attendant Immortal." Duobao said flatly, dangling a carrot, which made Immortal Dingguang's eyes light up. He knelt in thanks, then left the cave dwelling.
Afterward.
The sound of Immortal Dingguang's shouts rang out from outside the Ten Thousand Treasures Cave.
Daoist Duobao's expression was unreadable as he said, "Senior Disciple Qing, I do hope you'll leave with dignity. If you don't, don't blame me for making you lose it..."
Now, within Kunlun Mountain.
As Immortal Dingguang shouted far and wide.
Soon, disciples who had joined the Jie Sect gathered.
After hearing Immortal Dingguang's twisted reasoning, they surged like a flood toward Qingyuan's remote dojo, their momentum immense.
When they arrived outside Qingyuan's dojo.
They began to clamor aggressively.
"Senior Disciple Qing, what about the battle you promised ten thousand years from now? Why are you hiding and refusing to fight?"
"Qingyuan! As the Senior Disciple Brother of the Jie Sect, you have no real skill—why do you hold the position without doing anything? You should step down and let someone capable of leading the Jie Sect to rise take over!"
"If you don't dare to fight, then get out of the Jie Sect, get out of Kunlun Mountain!"
"Get out of the Jie Sect!!!"
"Qingyuan, come out! You don't deserve the position—you shouldn't be the Senior Disciple Brother of the Jie Sect! Who do you think you are..."
Outside the dojo.
The simple-minded, brawny disciples of the Jie Sect, swayed by Immortal Dingguang's instigation.
Shouted with red faces.
Judging by their demeanor.
It was as if they bore a blood feud with Qingyuan, their momentum overwhelming!!
"How dare you! Who dares to act so arrogantly before my master's dojo!"
"You beasts, what big talk you have!!!"
Yun Zhongzi and Wuzhiqi, who had been cultivating in the Water Mansion, were furious. They flew out of the dojo to confront the crowd of Jie Sect disciples.
Though their presence was strong.
One was only a Mid-stage Profound Immortal, the other a Late True Immortal.
Facing the momentum of over a thousand Jie Sect disciples, they could barely hold their ground.
Soon, they were at a disadvantage.
Even under Immortal Dingguang's instigation, someone suddenly struck at Yun Zhongzi and Wuzhiqi, with exceptionally vicious and ruthless methods!
If the two hadn't been extraordinary, they might have been severely injured on the spot.
"You're asking for death! How dare you ambush me—die!"
"Junior Disciple Brother, don't be rash!!"
Though Yun Zhongzi shouted for Wuzhiqi to be careful.
He still drew his sword and charged at the Jie Sect disciples who had struck with lethal intent.
Chaos erupted on the scene.
Swish, swish, swish!!
Suddenly, sword light turned into a rainbow flash, utterly slaying the physical bodies and Primordial Spirits of dozens of Jie Sect disciples who had ambushed Yun Zhongzi and Wuzhiqi. A terrifying, murderous Sword Intent turned into a mountain of corpses and seas of blood, locking onto everyone present. The hair-raising sense of crisis forced them all to calm down.
Even the most reckless and stubborn Disciples of the Sect of Interception.
Quietly withdrew their magic treasures.
Putting on harmless expressions.
"A man doesn't slap faces. You lot come to my dojo to make trouble, that's one thing, but you dare to harm my beloved disciple? Do you truly think This Seat dares not kill?"
Suddenly.
A tall, straight figure in black robes appeared before the crowd...
