The three immortal islands were mysterious and beautiful, ethereal and illusory, as if falling amidst immortal mists, appearing and disappearing.
This island cluster sometimes appeared in the Primordial World and sometimes vanished, its whereabouts unpredictable.
Beichen's cave-heaven blessed land would one day appear in the Primordial World, causing a huge uproar and triggering countless fierce battles!
From Beichen's understanding, only immortals with profound cultivation and upright character could enter the Primordial World's Three Immortal Islands. After the Three Immortal Islands appeared in the Primordial World, countless powerful beings landed on the islands, plundering magical treasures, resources, luck, and opportunities, forcefully turning the three immensely wealthy immortal islands into "ruins."
Later, the Three Xiāo Fairies saw that these three islands corresponded to the number of their three immortal sisters. Furthermore, even though the immortal islands had become ruins, there were still endless resources to be excavated within their depths. Thus, they occupied the three islands as their dojo.
The East Sea's Three Immortal Islands, as a famous dojo in the Primordial World, also greatly boosted the fame of the Three Xiāo Fairies, making them well-known to countless cultivators in the Primordial World.
And now, these Three Immortal Islands had become Beichen's dojo from the start, and moreover, they were in their initial, extremely resource-rich immortal island state. The value and level of these three islands were immeasurably high.
Even in terms of cave-heaven blessed land levels, they were not inferior to Purple Heaven Palace or Mount Buzhou, only slightly weaker than Mount Sumeru, the origin of the Great Dao!
Beichen had long seen through the level of these Three Immortal Islands. He had also considered that this dojo could be used to establish a sect, divide teachings, and accept disciples, rivaling Hongjun's Purple Heaven Palace and dominating the Primordial World!
However, everything had to be done slowly. Hongjun took over ten thousand years to lecture and distribute positions and establish sects. If Beichen wanted to share the Primordial World with him, this dojo would also need sufficient time to be refined.
Beichen was not impatient. He simply let Ling Cair and the other two search for treasures, spiritual roots, and Primordial materials, developing the islands' resources as much as possible and controlling them for future needs.
In the following days, the three beasts worked diligently.
Ling Cair found countless Primordial Purple Crystal Stones containing extremely strong spiritual power, only slightly weaker than the Five-Colored Stone used to mend the heavens.
Yan Lie discovered vast expanses of Chaos Soil and a spiritual root of unknown name, but seemingly extraordinary.
As for Mo Yuan, there were no major surprises. Instead, he collected a good amount of the Primordial Qi Fiend Essence Gold and Chaos Fragment Innate Spirit Crystals that Beichen had previously used to refine the Mysterious Sky Divine Dragon Pillar, along with other, less high-grade refining materials.
Yan Lie approached Beichen with some excitement, "Master, please come with me to see what's going on with that patch of soil and the spiritual root seedling?"
Led by Yan Lie, Beichen traveled from the main island of Penglai to the depths of Yingzhou Island. In a very deep location at the center of this island, he saw the purple-gold, crimson soil emitting a dense Primordial Dao Qi, which was precisely the Chaos Soil that nurtured supreme-grade innate spiritual plants.
Within this not-so-vast Chaos Soil, a foot-long seedling, shrouded in Chaos Yuan Qi, displayed alternating gold and silver colors as it continuously absorbed nutrients from the Chaos Soil.
"Master, this Chaos Yuan Qi is extremely dangerous. If one intrudes into it, they will be instantly torn to shreds!"
Yan Lie looked warily at the Chaos Soil, which spanned about ten zhang in radius. The Chaos Yuan Qi, at the boundary of the Chaos Soil, also had a range of about ten zhang!
"This is the Yellow Middle Plum spiritual root! It flowers once every Yuan epoch, bears fruit once every Yuan epoch, matures once every Yuan epoch, and can only be eaten once every Yuan epoch. Consuming one fruit will allow one to enter the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm!"
"It is said that the Yellow Middle Plum grows on Mount Kunlun. I didn't expect there to be one on Yingzhou Island!"
"This is actually a seedling of the Yellow Middle Plum?"
Yan Lie was a little surprised why Beichen would recognize it.
Beichen stood before the seedling for a long time, his brow furrowed. "Strange, this Yellow Middle Plum seedling seems to have existed for countless years, why hasn't it grown?"
For the next three years, besides cultivating, Beichen spent most of his time pondering this seedling, but he could never find the reason for its stunted growth!
Three years passed in a flash. One day, as Beichen was meditating in the immortal cave of Penglai, the system suddenly emitted a clear chime.
"Ding, the system detects that the final battle of the Dao-Demon Conflict has begun, shaking the Primordial World, and all races are uneasy!"
"Please choose."
"One, leave the Three Immortal Islands to observe the Dao-Demon War, reward: Great Dao Art of Evasion."
"Two, hide within the Three Immortal Islands, seeking only self-preservation, reward: Primordial Innate Supreme Treasure, God-Slaying Spear!"
"This system is just a trick!"
Beichen muttered speechlessly, "I choose one!"
He naturally couldn't choose two. The God-Slaying Spear, a Yin Nether battle weapon formed from the Yin energy of the Creation Green Lotus's root and stem, represented slaughter and the underworld, and was one of the Demon Ancestor Luohu's most prized weapons. What would be the consequences if the opponent discovered the God-Slaying Spear had suddenly flown away?
After making his choice, Beichen summoned the three beasts, gave them instructions, and then fled the Three Islands, heading towards the brilliant golden place at the center of the Primordial World.
"Ding, the host has left the Three Immortal Islands and entered the Mount Sumeru area, about to observe the Dao-Demon War! Reward: Great Dao Art of Evasion!"
An profound secret of the Great Dao Art of Evasion entered Beichen's mind. Beichen immediately comprehended it and used this Great Dao technique to conceal himself on a high mountain peak.
From here, he could ensure absolute safety and see the entire Dao-Demon War.
"This Great Dao Art of Evasion is truly miraculous. Even a powerful being like the Demon Ancestor Luohu cannot detect me observing the battle here!"
Beichen sat cross-legged on the mountain peak, gazing at Mount Sumeru. He saw that within Mount Sumeru, on a ten-thousand-zhang peak to the east hung an Immortal Slaying Sword, on a ten-thousand-zhang peak to the south hung an Immortal Slaughtering Sword, to the west hung an Immortal Trapping Sword, and to the north hung an Immortal Severing Sword.
Four immensely powerful sword energies shot straight into the clouds, combining to form the Immortal Slaying Array.
In the center of the array were gates and doors, filled with murderous intent and chilling winds.
The array's grim winds howled, terrifyingly. With Mount Sumeru as the center, it shook the entire Primordial World.
As this array appeared, countless powerful beings avoided it. Only four figures, accompanied by over a dozen exceptionally powerful Grand Unity Golden Immortals, rapidly approached this location!
A Daoist, covered in black energy, with swirling black energy patterns all around, possessed peerless divine might, and a murderous aura that was difficult to comprehend, walked among the array. The sword energies all dodged around him.
Within the array, a celestial song seemed to be sung: "Neither bronze, nor iron, nor steel, hidden beneath Mount Sumeru. Without Yin and Yang reversed in forging, where does its sharpness come from? Immortal Slaying is sharp, Immortal Slaughtering brings death, Immortal Trapping causes red light everywhere, Immortal Severing's transformations are endless and wondrous, bathing Grand Unity Golden Immortals in blood."
Beichen listened to the song, his thoughts involuntarily drawn to the great array. As he observed, he couldn't help but begin to comprehend it bit by bit.
The scene of the great array was constantly etched in Beichen's mind, transforming into countless mysteries. In his mind, it was like painting, gradually evolving the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram.
The Immortal Slaying Array, as the foremost killing array in the Primordial World, was terrifying. If one could control the mysteries of this array, it would be extremely beneficial for future conquests in the Primordial World.
The Immortal Slaying Array Diagram was truly rare, and Beichen naturally did not want to miss this opportunity. Although the four immortal swords were not in his hands at this moment, he wanted to master the array diagram first. If he obtained the four swords one day, setting up the Immortal Slaying Array would be a natural progression.
Conversely, without the Immortal Slaying Array Diagram, even if he obtained the four immortal swords, he would not be able to unleash their full power.
Beichen's contemplation lasted for half a month. On this day, as the four Daoists approached the Immortal Slaying Array, the leader among them, drawing forth myriad auspicious clouds and myriad auspicious rays, holding a bamboo staff, shouted angrily, "Demon Ancestor Luohu, you have set up this evil array on Mount Sumeru with malicious intent. Your heart is punishable, and you should face the calamity of killing!"
Only to hear the Daoist in the array shout, "Hongjun, you are talking nonsense! It is you who should face the calamity of killing!"
"Today, this humble Daoist will slay all of you, complete my path of slaughter, and step into the realm of Saint!"
