Heading to the Primordial Era

Time flows on, ten thousand years passing in a blink.

"Ding."

"Cultivation for ten thousand years complete. Obtained Cloning Technique Enhancement."

A prompt sounded in Li Xuan's ear.

Li Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

Another ten thousand years had passed, plus he had consumed a Golden Immortal Flood Dragon and four Mystic Immortal Scale Armor Beings.

Li Xuan's current cultivation had finally reached the Eighth Grade Mystic Immortal.

He cast his gaze outward.

Below the mountain, the number of humanoid beings sitting in meditation had grown from one to three.

Bright Rabbit's furry, long ears were clearly something he couldn't refine away.

After all, even when Demon Race beings achieved human form, many parts of them remained in their beastly shape.

Those rabbit ears were one such example.

There were also a man and a woman, both appearing as youths.

The man wore a blue robe, with handsome features and jet-black hair. With his eyes closed, he looked just like a human.

But the moment he opened his eyes, those vertical pupils and blue irises proved he was not.

The woman wore red gauze, her face also beautiful, not at all inferior to Bright Rabbit.

Only her hair, a deep purple-red, clearly marked her as non-human.

These two were beings that had transformed and emerged during the past ten thousand years.

One was a Wolf Transformation, the other a Purple Marten Transformation.

Calling the three beings by their raw names was truly unpleasant to the ear.

So Li Xuan simply gave them names. Bright Rabbit remained Bright Rabbit—after all, he was a rare innate being, named by the system.

As for the wolf and marten that transformed later, Li Xuan named them Little Blue and Little Purple.

In ten thousand years, Bright Rabbit had also reached the Ninth Grade Mystic Immortal.

It seemed that in a few more millennia, she could break through to Golden Immortal.

Comparing their aptitudes, Li Xuan sighed once more.

Then he withdrew his gaze, not disturbing the three who were still immersed in cultivation and enlightenment.

After a moment's thought, Li Xuan lightly formed a hand seal.

Cloning Technique.

Spiritual energy gathered swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, a human figure condensed before Li Xuan.

This figure looked exactly like Li Xuan, with lively eyes and a smiling face.

Flesh, blood, and skin were rendered in exquisite detail—more real than real!

Li Xuan looked at the figure, and the figure looked back at Li Xuan.

For a moment, Li Xuan felt an indescribable mystery!

It was as if he were looking at himself!

Two selves!

His consciousness filled both bodies, without the slightest obstruction!

He blinked, he curled his lip.

Li Xuan and Li Xuan's clone stared at each other, eyes wide.

A moment later, they both spoke at once.

"You're a dumbass..."

"Ahahahaha!"

Both slapped their thighs in laughter...

After laughing for a while, Li Xuan and the clone stopped at the same time. Then Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "The enhanced Cloning Technique is great. Way better than that puppet-doll trash from before."

The clone said nothing, just stood there with a smile.

Li Xuan had already fully mastered the method of separating and merging the original body and the clone.

No more acting like a fool in sync.

"Ding."

"Choice System activated."

"Choice One: Travel to the Primordial Great World, collect the Ten Thousand Races' Essence Blood and Killing Qi. Upon completion, obtain one random Innate Supreme Treasure, one Hundred Thousand Years Cultivation Experience Scroll, and Hundred Thousand Years Fivefold Cultivation Speed."

"Choice Two: Travel to the Primordial Great World, prevent Demon Ancestor Luohu from collecting the Ten Thousand Races' Essence Blood and Killing Qi. Upon completion, obtain one random Innate Supreme Treasure, one Hundred Thousand Years Cultivation Experience Scroll, Hundred Thousand Years Fivefold Cultivation Speed, and the Innate Supreme Treasure (God-Slaying Spear)."

"Option Three: Go to the Primordial Great World, awaken the Primordial Spirits of the Three Pure Ones, causing them to emerge ahead of schedule. Upon completion, receive three random Innate Supreme Treasures, a Twenty Thousand Years Cultivation Experience Scroll, Twenty Thousand Years Fivefold Cultivation Speed, the Innate Supreme Treasure (Myriad Heavens Auspicious Cloud), and the blessing of Heavenly Dao Fortune."

"Option Four: Do nothing and continue cultivating for ten thousand years. Upon completion, receive a One Thousand Years Cultivation Experience Scroll and the Divine Ability: Incarnation Outside the Body."

Looking at the four options before him, Li Xuan chuckled and said, "Ten Thousand Races' Essence Blood and Killing Qi? Do I have nothing better to do than collect those? And the Demon Ancestor Luohu? I'm just a Mystic Immortal—would I dare provoke him? That man is a Quasi-Saint among Quasi-Saints! As for awakening the Three Pure Ones... well, that should be Hongjun's business. If I did it, wouldn't that be poaching his turf? Wouldn't Hongjun come after me with everything he's got? Hmph, trying to trick me? No, way, in, hell!"

With a smug raise of his eyebrows, Li Xuan reached out and tapped Option Four.

"Ding, option to continue cultivating for ten thousand years selected successfully."

Hearing the prompt in his ear, Li Xuan smirked with satisfaction, feeling he had just dodged another massive pitfall.

But then, he glanced at the clone before him, rubbed his chin, and muttered to himself, "Even if I'm not going to stir up trouble, there's no harm in going out to take a look, right? I've spent these tens of thousands of years within the bounds of Mount Taixuan—I have no idea what the outside world is like..."

By the time he said this.

It was already the clone mumbling.

The original body had already closed its eyes with a smile, sitting cross-legged in meditation.

The clone turned its head and said, "Alright, I'll go out and take a look. It's just a clone anyway—if it dies, no big deal."

With that, it moved its form and took flight.

A clone created by the Cloning Technique only possesses one percent of the original's strength.

After all, the Cloning Technique is not the Incarnation Outside the Body. If it were the latter, the separated body could rival up to eighty percent of the original's cultivation and magical power.

So now, Li Xuan's clone only had the meager cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal.

A Heavenly Immortal in the Primordial Great World was barely stronger than an ant... a big ant.

But that didn't matter!

He only planned to go out and look around, not to fight or brawl with anyone!

Thus, after flying three thousand li beyond Mount Taixuan, Li Xuan's clone entered a brand-new world.

A clear breeze brushed his face—whether it was an illusion or simply because he was happy.

Li Xuan felt that the spiritual energy around him was even denser than within Mount Taixuan's bounds.

For a moment, he couldn't help but burst into song: "I want to be free like the wind...!"

As he flew forward, everything around him was eerily calm—so calm it felt unreal to Li Xuan.

What's going on?

Shouldn't the Primordial Great World be bustling with activity?

With this doubt in mind, Li Xuan flew and observed as he went.

But after several days, the most he saw were a few ordinary creatures—not even ones that had taken form, let alone developed spiritual awareness.

"Strange..."

Li Xuan muttered a few times and continued flying eastward.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Just then, from the far edge of the sky ahead, a series of low rumbles rang out!

Hearing this, Li Xuan's spirits lifted, and he quickly rushed toward the source of the sound.

He hadn't seen a living thing in days—even if it was a ghost up ahead, he had to go check it out!

As he flew closer, the rumbling grew more deafening.

At the same time, sharp and frenzied roars gradually became clear.

"The Beast Race is finished! Prime Kirin is being pinned down at Kirin Mountain by my Ancestor Dragon Lord and the Bird Clan Chief Yuan Feng. With the Kirin Mountain Grand Formation, he won't last much longer! And you, Huang Hu! Will you still not surrender!?"

Drawing near quietly, Li Xuan saw at the end of his gaze a middle-aged man, drenched in blood, fighting desperately against several attackers!
