Five Qi in One Step—Taiyi from Then On; Nine Breaths Attunement, Heaven and Earth Cannot Kill, Divine Power Undying!

Lin Zhu listened as Taishang Laojun explained the mysteries of the Grand Yi Realm. He successfully condensed the Five Qi in the Chest and stepped into the Grand Yi Realm.

Upon breaking through to the Grand Yi Golden Immortal realm, spiritual energy came surging forth and merged into Lin Zhu's body, allowing him to successfully comprehend the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Method.

Having grasped the mysteries of Nine Breaths Attunement, Lin Zhu was overjoyed.

With the Nine Breaths Qi Absorption Method, he would no longer need to worry about exhausting his spiritual energy while refining magical treasures or fighting others. Its uses were truly endless.

Lin Zhu's breakthrough to Grand Yi Golden Immortal immediately triggered an Anomaly.

In an instant, it alerted Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du, who were in seclusion.

The two arrived outside Lin Zhu's Cave Mansion together. Seeing him standing outside, they hurried forward to greet him.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on entering the Grand Yi Realm," Guang Chengzi said as he stepped forward to offer his congratulations.

Xuan Du also came forward to congratulate Lin Zhu.

Lin Zhu swept his gaze over his two junior brothers and discovered that Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du had both made progress over the years.

Both had reached the peak of the Profound Immortal realm. They were merely one step away from entering the Golden Immortal realm.

It seemed that Taishang Laojun had been imparting cultivation methods to the two of them over the years.

"Thank you, Junior Brothers." Lin Zhu smiled. "My ascent to the Taiyi Realm is a joyous occasion. The three of us martial brothers have not gathered for many years. Why not enter my Cave Mansion, brew a few cups of Spirit Tea, and have a small reunion?"

Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du were delighted and repeatedly agreed.

The three then entered the Cave Mansion.

Lin Zhu brewed three cups of Spirit Tea that he had acquired during his travels over the years.

The three drank tea and held a Dao Debate. Lin Zhu explained the differences and mysteries between the Golden Immortal realm and the Taiyi Realm, and Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du both gained greatly from it.

Drawing upon his own experience, Lin Zhu gave them targeted explanations, recounting one by one the problems he had encountered during his breakthrough.

Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du committed them all to memory.

After all, they might encounter the same problems when they broke through.

When that time came, they would be able to prepare in advance and resolve those problems.

The three gathered, brewed tea, and discussed the Dao. In the blink of an eye, several years passed.

Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du had gained much from the gathering. Both said they would return to their Cave Mansions to comprehend the mysteries of the Golden Immortal realm, hoping to enter the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible.

Lin Zhu said, "Now that I have ascended to the Taiyi Realm, I intend to travel the Primordial Wilderness for a time. If you two Junior Brothers are in seclusion, I will not come to bid you farewell."

Upon hearing that Lin Zhu was leaving, Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du wanted to accompany him, but they were at the Golden Immortal Mysterious Gate and on the verge of a breakthrough. It was inconvenient for them to leave, so they could only regretfully give up.

Moreover, Lin Zhu's cultivation was far ahead of theirs. This also gave the two of them a sense of urgency, making them wish to enter seclusion and cultivate so they could catch up to Lin Zhu.

Thus, the three martial brothers drank tea as they bid each other farewell.

Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du went off to enter seclusion.

After seeing his two junior brothers out of the Cave Mansion, Lin Zhu returned inside.

Having just entered the Taiyi Realm, there were naturally many wondrous uses that he needed to comprehend.

Therefore, Lin Zhu spent a hundred years stabilizing his cultivation at the early stage of the Taiyi Realm before leaving seclusion to bid Taishang Laojun farewell.

Entering Taishang Laojun Daoist Temple, he saw Taishang Laojun seated cross-legged upon a Prayer Mat, his eyes closed as he rested his mind.

Lin Zhu stepped forward and bowed. "Disciple Lin Zhu pays respects to Martial Uncle."

Taishang Laojun slightly opened his eyes. Seeing Lin Zhu, he nodded faintly and said, "You have condensed the Five Qi in the Chest and achieved the Grand Yi Realm. Such talent is truly enviable."

Lin Zhu said, "If not for Martial Uncle's guidance, how could this disciple have broken through to Taiyi so quickly?"

"I came this time to thank Martial Uncle for your guidance. Thank you, Martial Uncle."

Taishang Laojun smiled. "There is no need to thank me. As the saying goes, a master leads one through the door, but cultivation depends on the individual. If not for your own astonishing talent, how could you have entered the Grand Yi Realm so quickly?"

Lin Zhu said no more, then added, "Martial Uncle, this disciple wishes to travel the Primordial Wilderness, so I have come to bid you farewell."

"Why travel?" Taishang Laojun asked.

Lin Zhu replied, "This disciple has already entered the Taiyi Realm and wishes to live freely for some time, traveling the Primordial Wilderness and broadening my horizons. Perhaps I may gain something from it."

"Traveling while observing the many facets of the Primordial Wilderness would also temper my state of mind."

Taishang Laojun could not help but feel slightly surprised upon hearing this.

Drawing close to nature, sitting quietly to watch the clouds rise.

This rather closely aligned with his Way of Non-Action.

If he were to impart the Great Dao of Non-Action to Lin Zhu, Lin Zhu would surely inherit his mantle one day and might even carry forward and expand his Dao teachings!

What a pity that this child is Tongtian's disciple!

There is no fate for him to become my disciple! Taishang Laojun sighed inwardly.

"Traveling the Primordial Wilderness and broadening your horizons is naturally an excellent thing. Every cultivator has their own Dao. If you can gain something through your travels, that would be good as well."

"However, the Primordial World is fraught with dangers. You must proceed carefully!"

Lin Zhu nodded and solemnly agreed, then bid Taishang Laojun farewell.

At this time, Guang Chengzi and Xuan Du were in seclusion. Lin Zhu did not disturb them and instead left Qilin Cliff alone, descended Kunlun Mountain, and headed into the Primordial World.

Lin Zhu descended Kunlun Mountain by himself.

With nothing pressing to do, he traveled through the Primordial World, admiring its scenery—watching eagles soar and deer run, gazing at lofty mountains shrouded in clouds and mist. Whenever he encountered a place rich in spiritual energy, he could occasionally find one or two spirit herbs.

This journey of travel lasted a full hundred years.

One day, Lin Zhu arrived in the Eastern Primordial Continent. Thinking of the Suiming Tribe of the Human Tribe nearby, he felt the urge to visit.

After all, he and Sui had crossed paths before and could be considered friends.

He wondered how his old friend was doing now.

Lin Zhu immediately headed toward the Suiming Tribe.

That enormous Suimu Tree still stood outside the tribe's cave, even thicker and more robust than before.

Some members of the Human Race were busily at work.

Lin Zhu descended outside the Human Race's cave. When the Human Race people saw an immortal descend, they were astonished beyond measure.

Before long, a figure shot over.

It was none other than Sui.

Sui was now middle-aged and possessed a somewhat valiant air.

Lin Zhu glanced at him and discovered that Sui had already entered the Profound Immortal realm.

After Taishang Laojun established the Human Sect, he passed down the Golden Elixir Great Dao, allowing some exceptionally gifted members of the Human Race to cultivate.

As one of the first generation of the Primordial Human Race, Sui was naturally among the most outstanding of the Human Race.

After cultivating for so many years, it was hardly strange that he had reached the Profound Immortal realm.

Sui arrived before him and recognized Lin Zhu at first glance. He immediately stepped forward and gave Lin Zhu a great bear hug.

"The tribespeople said an immortal had descended. I never expected it to be Brother Lin Zhu! Hahaha, what a rare guest!"

Lin Zhu smiled as well. "I was traveling the Primordial Wilderness and happened to pass through this place. Thinking of an old friend, I came to visit. Brother Sui, you would not refuse to welcome me, would you?"

Sui laughed. "What are you saying, Brother Lin Zhu? Come, let us speak inside the cave."

Sui then led Lin Zhu into the cave.

The cave was not much different from before, except that it bore many more traces of time.

More than a thousand years had passed since Lin Zhu's last visit. Aside from people like Sui, who possessed cultivation, the Human Race had already passed through countless generations.

By now, the Human Race of the Suiming Tribe had increased severalfold.

There were even some branches that had moved elsewhere to live.

After not seeing each other for many years, Sui warmly entertained Lin Zhu. Lin Zhu did not stand on ceremony, and after the two spoke of their time apart, Lin Zhu asked about the Human Race's current situation.

At the mention of the Human Race's circumstances, a trace of gloom appeared on Sui's face.
