The Realm Above the Primordial Daluo
Ling Xiao's words made Di Jun and Tai Yi feel a sense of urgency.
They immediately nodded emphatically, putting away their joking attitude.
"By the way, Third Brother, this is the Five Elements Flags we stole. See if it's of any use to you."
Di Jun took out the Southern Flag and handed it over. Ling Xiao had asked them for spiritual treasures before, and he thought his Third Brother might need one in this regard.
Tai Yi didn't say anything, but he also took out the Eastern Flag.
Ling Xiao was speechless. The supreme Innate Supreme Treasure was of no use to him. Just as he was about to refuse, an idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"Perhaps..."
Ling Xiao no longer stood on ceremony and snatched the flag.
Afterwards, Di Jun and Tai Yi went back to their seclusion. Watching their departing figures, Ling Xiao's figure also slowly disappeared and entered the Chaos Bead.
Now, the Chaos Bead has been refined by him, leaving only more than thirty layers of restrictions.
After refining it completely, he will be able to fully control the Chaos Bead, and it may even have unexpected changes and functions.
Ling Xiao entered the Chaos Bead and released his aura. Before he went to Chaos to intercept the Two Western Sages, he had already broken through to the fourth level of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal.
This led to a sudden realization, which resulted in the creation of the "Heaven and Earth Without Dao" supernatural power, which was then tested Zhun Ti Jieyin and Zhunti.
This supernatural power is still in its infancy and not yet fully developed.
At the level of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, one can create numerous supernatural powers in the blink of an eye. However, a bizarre supernatural power like the Heaven and Earth Without Dao is rare and depends on luck.
Once perfected, this will become his weapon for defeating enemies far above his level.
Ling Xiao judged that Hongjun was currently roughly equivalent to the ninth level of the Sage Realm, or even half a step into the Heavenly Dao Realm.
He would probably need to cultivate to the seventh level or higher to have a chance of defeating Hongjun.
As for the Heavenly Dao Realm, it is equivalent to the next realm before the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, the Zenith Heaven Taiji Golden Immortal, and above that is the Zenith Heaven Infinite Golden Immortal, which roughly corresponds to the Great Dao Realm.
As for Pangu's realm.
Before the creation of heaven and earth, it was governed by the Great Dao. After Pangu died, he transformed into the Primordial World, and only later did the Heavenly Dao appear. Therefore, it can be seen that Pangu's strength was probably between the Great Dao and the Heavenly Dao.
At his peak, Pangu was roughly at the half-step Great Dao, not counting his birth and death.
Of course, this is just Ling Xiao's guess, something he read in a novel in his previous life. Whether it's true or not is hard to say.
The concept of "primordial chaos" (Primordial Origin 无极) refers to the concept of "limit" (极) and "limitlessness" (无极), while "Taiji" (Taiji) represents the changes of all things within a finite range.
This represents the evolution of two different realms.
The transition from Taiji to Wuji is a step from having boundaries to having no boundaries.
All things under heaven are born from existence, and existence is born from non-existence!
Primordial Origin Wuji refers to the highest realm of the Dao, elucidating its ultimate nature. As for whether there are realms above it, that remains unknown.
With Ling Xiao's current level of cultivation, this is the only step he can see.
The ultimate realm of Primordial Origin is still too far away for him.
With that in mind, Ling Xiao took out the Southern Flag and the Eastern Flag and came to the side of the Chaos Green Lotus.
At this moment, the Chaos Green Lotus was radiating innate green light. After years of cultivation, the Green Lotus had grown much stronger, with lotus flowers and petals, but it was still very weak and only beginning to take shape.
The remaining essence and spiritual liquid of the Sage were all fed to the Chaos Green Lotus, but its growth rate was not fast; it was like a bottomless pit.
However, Ling Xiao was not discouraged. The more this happened, the more it proved the power of the Chaos Green Lotus, after all, it was Chaos Supreme Treasure and Pangu's personal possession.
If it were a spiritual root of the Yellow Plum or the Flat Peach Tree level, it would have grown wildly long ago.
Ling Xiao looked at the flag in his hand. After the Chaos Green Lotus from before the creation of the world shattered, it transformed into a large number of magical treasures, making a great contribution to the Treasure Realm in the Primordial World era.
Most of the famous magical treasures in the Primordial World are related to it. Among them, the most famous is the God-Slaying Spear transformed from a root, as well as other magical treasures such as the Black-White-Gold-Red and the Four Twelve-Petaled Lotus.
The five leaves of the Chaos Green Lotus transformed into the Five Elements Flags.
Therefore, the Five Elements Flags and other magical treasures are descendants of the Chaos Green Lotus, sharing a similar bloodline.
The Southern Flag and the Eastern Flag he now holds, though not transformed from this Chaos Green Lotus, are probably similar, just twins.
"If we find a way to get the Chaos Green Lotus to absorb the flag, it might greatly accelerate its growth..."
Ling Xiao thought to himself that he felt this idea was feasible, the only difficulty was how to get the Chaos Green Lotus to absorb it.
This thing doesn't have a mouth.
After a brief silence, Ling Xiao Heaven-Swallowing Gourd, then formed a hand seal to create an array. Using the power of the Heaven-Swallowing Gourd, he refined the Five Elements Flags and attempted to have the Chaos Green Lotus absorb them.
This is like you can't chew it, so I chew it for you.
A short while later, faintly, the Southern Ground-Leaving Flame Banner and the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Flag emitted two streams of red and blue energy, respectively, which drifted towards the Chaos Green Lotus.
"It works!"
Ling Xiao's eyes lit up, his heart filled with surprise and joy, and he nodded in satisfaction.
The Five Elements Flags were a waste to leave lying around, but at least they've come to some use.
Meanwhile, outside...
An uninvited guest arrived at Three Immortal Islands.
A Daoist priest in a green robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, stepped onto Penglai Immortal Island.
This person was none other than the Master Tongtian. He did not follow Yuanshi and Laozi to the Sun Star, but came here alone.
After he attained sainthood, he sensed that three future disciples resided on the Three Immortal Islands.
I've come here today for this very reason. The Jie Interception Sect has been established for some time now, but we still don't have many proper disciples.
Logically speaking, after establishing the Interception Sect and announcing it to the world, his three disciples, who were destined to be his disciples, should have taken the initiative to visit him and become his disciples.
But Tongtian waited for a long time without seeing them arrive, so he had no choice but to take the initiative to visit them today, thus beginning this master-disciple relationship.
They spend all day scheming and plotting with Laozi and Yuanshi, without doing anything productive. It's time to properly reorganize the Interception Sect.
Tongtian thought to himself, and stepped into the depths of the island. After countless years, he had returned to the island, and his state of mind had undergone a complete transformation.
"Hehe, Ginseng Fruit Tree, Wuzhuang Temple..."
Tongtian stopped at a Blessed Land and surveyed the scene before him.
I had long heard that Zhenyuanzi had moved his Daoist temple from the West to the Three Immortal Islands, and with this iconic Ginseng Fruit Tree, it would be hard for anyone not to recognize it.
"Unfortunately, there wasn't a single fruit on the tree..."
Tongtian thought with some regret, "I was thinking of finding Fellow Zhenyuanzi to try one of these."
Just then, three women emerged from the Daoist temple. They were beautiful and graceful, and their voices were melodious and sweet.
"A destined disciple has appeared..."
Seeing this, Tongtian put his hands behind his back, straightened his expression and became solemn. He did not speak, waiting for the Three Xiao Sisters to speak first.
This action immediately caught the attention of the Three Xiao Sisters of Fairy Bixiao immediately asked with curiosity, "Fellow Daoist, why are you so stiff? Have you also just taken human form?"
"Stiff... stiff?" Tongtian was stunned, deeply shocked.
