Donghua and Taizhen walked side by side, the surrounding Chaos energy gradually thinning, and the outline of the Primordial World becoming clearly visible.

Having gained much from listening to the Dao in Purple Heaven Palace, Donghua's thoughts flowed, and he couldn't help but look at Taizhen beside him.

Taizhen seemed to sense something, her cool gaze shifted slightly. Seeing his thoughtful expression, she quietly waited for him to speak.

"I have been away from Zifu Continent for a long time. I miss it and wish to return to tidy up my Daoist Ground, so that I may quietly comprehend what I have gained this time."

After speaking, Donghua pondered for a moment, took out the Jade Disk of Creation Fragment containing the Time and Pure Yang Law, and handed it to Taizhen.

"Taizhen, this item should be of some help to you in comprehending the Time Law."

He did not explicitly state his deeper considerations. The path to Hunyuan was difficult and required extremely high Law Comprehension. He hoped Taizhen could focus on the path of time and walk alongside him in the future.

As soon as the Jade Disk was in her hand, Taizhen sensed the vast Space-Time Dao Rhyme flowing within it and immediately understood what it was.

Her gaze sharpened, and she immediately declined, "This is a fragment of the Jade Disk of Creation? It's too precious, and it also contains the Pure Yang Law. I really cannot accept it."

Donghua, however, shook his head slightly and said earnestly, "Our destinies have long been intertwined. My fortune is naturally your fortune. Why distinguish between us?"

Taizhen fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then no longer refused. She put away the Jade Disk and looked up at Donghua, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes:

"You and those two Golden Crows already had a past grievance. This time in Purple Heaven Palace, you also embarrassed them in front of the Sage and fellow Daoists. If you return to Zifu Continent alone now, I fear they will seize the opportunity to cause trouble for you. Why not return to West Kunlun with me? We can look out for each other."

Donghua pondered for a moment, knowing that Taizhen's concerns were reasonable. Although he did not fear Di Jun and Taiyi, if the two of them came to pester him, it would inevitably disturb his focused cultivation.

He nodded in agreement, "Very well, as you say, let us return to West Kunlun together."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their figures transforming into ethereal Dao Rhyme as they flew towards West Kunlun.

At the peak of West Kunlun, amidst swirling clouds. As soon as they arrived, Taizhen chose a quiet room with abundant Spiritual Mechanism and went into seclusion, using the Jade Disk of Creation Fragment to quietly comprehend the vast mysteries of the Time Law.

Donghua, led by a young attendant, also chose another cave dwelling and sat in meditation amidst the swirling mist, carefully sorting through what he had learned from listening to the Dao.

His Dao Heart was clear, and he deeply understood that the true meaning of cultivation lay in the harmonious integration of "Dao" and "Method."

"Dao" was the ultimate principle of the Law, the root of cultivation, and the source of the Great Dao.

"Method" was the application of Spiritual Power, the path of Cultivation Method, and the tool for protecting the Dao.

The two complemented each other, like heaven and earth standing side by side, neither could be lacking.

However, in the current era of the Primordial World, Cultivation Methods were extremely rare. Many powerful beings often relied on their Innate origins, possessing Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation upon transformation. Therefore, they generally valued "Dao" over "Method."

Apart from the Severing Three Corpses method passed down by Dao Ancestor Hongjun after his second sermon, which was unparalleled in the world, there were almost no other renowned Cultivation Methods.

Precisely because of this, the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique gifted by the Witch Clan undoubtedly opened a door to supreme Spiritual Power for Donghua, allowing him to clearly see a completely different path to the heavens.

As Donghua immersed his mind into the imprint gifted by Dijiang, the profound mysteries of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique slowly unfolded in his heart.

However, as his understanding deepened, he felt even greater shock.

He had originally thought that Dijiang had given him a complete cultivation method, but he did not expect this imprint to be like a Great Dao inheritance. What was currently revealed to him was merely the cultivation method for the First Revolution.

The First Revolution corresponded to the True Immortal realm. If one revolution corresponded to one major realm, then what incredible level would the subsequent Nine Revolutions lead to?

The moment this thought arose, it was like thunder exploding in Donghua's mind.

He had initially thought this method was on the same path to becoming a Sage as the Severing Three Corpses Dao. Now, he finally realized that the two were as different as fireflies and the bright sun, incomparable, instantly dimming in comparison!

At this moment, Donghua truly understood the immense Karma and supreme fortune represented by this gift.

Since he had obtained the Cultivation Method, Donghua naturally began to cultivate.

First Revolution: Physical Foundation Establishment, initial fusion of spirit and body. Completely integrating a trace of True Spirit into the physical bloodline, from then on, the physical body would no longer be a mere vessel but would become the sole Dao Palace of the True Spirit, establishing the supreme Dao Foundation for physical ascension.

Second Revolution: Grotto-heaven of the acupoints. The 365 major acupoints throughout the body would transform from particles into stars, each like a newly opened world, capable of containing vast blood and Magical Power.

Third Revolution: Golden Body Immortality. The physical body would initially possess the characteristic of Golden Body Immortality. Blood and qi would be like plasma, bones would radiate light, and the physical body's strength would be comparable to divine metal. Ordinary fire would be difficult to harm, and time would be difficult to erode.

Fourth Revolution: Five Elements Refining Viscera. Drawing in the essence of the five elements of heaven and earth to refine the five internal organs. The five organs correspond to the five elements, and the five qi would ascend to the primordial origin within the chest.

In just over ten thousand years, Donghua pushed the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique to the Fourth Revolution realm, and at the same time, he completely understood its fundamental flaw: the True Spirit was integrated into the physical body, leaving no room for retreat.

However, Donghua's Dao Heart was not shaken in the slightest; it became even firmer.

In his view, if one could not reach the pinnacle through their own Dao and transcend eternity, then eternal life would merely be a refined wandering soul under the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

Since that was the case, he would rather forge this True Spirit and physical body into a unique Dao Foundation, giving his all to risk this sliver of a path to the heavens!

Having cultivated to the Fourth Revolution, Donghua had an epiphany. This realm could no longer be broken through by mere arduous cultivation; it required drawing in the essence of the five elements of heaven and earth to refine oneself.

Seeing that Taizhen was still in seclusion, he gave some instructions to the young attendants of West Kunlun and then set off, venturing into the vast Primordial World.

He traveled, gathering information about the world, and simultaneously searching for opportunities where the Innate Five Elements Qi converged.

He keenly sensed that the conflicts on the Primordial World's land were several times more intense than before his seclusion.

The Witch Clan's expansion had become extremely swift and active, leading to constant conflicts and wars with various races.

What made his gaze even more solemn was that amidst this chaotic situation, two figures were emerging.

They were none other than Di Jun and Taiyi, born from the Sun Star!

Relying on their powerful strength and extraordinary methods, they were continuously gathering and protecting those races struggling to survive under the pressure of the Witch Clan. They were clearly becoming leaders of a region, and a vast alliance aimed at opposing the Witch Clan was beginning to take shape.

Karma was intertwined, and great trends were about to arise.

Donghua stood on a cloud, looking down at the turbulent land, his heart as clear as a mirror.

Di Jun and Taiyi rose with the tide, and the pattern of Witch-Demon opposition was quietly laid in this turbulent storm.

In the Primordial World, where time has no meaning, Donghua traveled between famous mountains and great rivers, searching for the most fundamental Five Elements essence in the world.

On this day, Donghua stood in the air above a majestic mountain range. Below, the mountain body resembled countless unsheathed swords, pointing directly at the sky. Sharpened Geng Metal Qi permeated the surroundings, slicing through the clouds.

After trekking and searching for ten thousand years, the Innate Five Elements Qi was finally gathered.

Just as Donghua's mind moved, preparing to collect this last trace of Geng Metal Qi, an unexpected change occurred!

A Phoenix Feather, flowing with multicolored light, pierced directly towards Donghua's Violet Palace between his eyebrows like a sharp sword.

"You've come to provoke me repeatedly. Since you insist on this, then today, you shall remain here."
