The Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation! Heavenly Dao Dojo!

The Primordial World had just opened, and everything was in the time of Chaos.

Since Pangu transformed his body into all things, three clans had emerged in the heavens and the earth: the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans.

The Dragon Clan ruled the oceans, naturally possessing formidable physical bodies, with all sea monsters serving as their slaves. Their leader was the Ancestor Dragon!

The Phoenix Clan ruled the skies and could be reborn through nirvana, with all flying birds following their lead. Their leader was the Primordial Phoenix!

The Kirin Clan ruled the land, greatest in number, with all walking beasts honoring them as masters. Their leader was the First Qilin!

These three clans were uniquely endowed and born with great abilities, hence they refused to submit to each other. Amidst long-standing frictions, their conflicts finally reached a peak, and an unprecedented tribulation thus opened its curtain!

"A bunch of feathered beasts, go die for your grandpa!"

"Water bugs dare to be this arrogant? Today, I will let you all witness my might!"

"Go to hell!"

"..."

From the vast ocean, countless dragons and phoenixes engaged in a battle to the death!

Joining this tribulation were also the birds filling the sky, along with countless shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Although their cultivation levels were not very high, they excelled in sheer numbers and served as the most basic cannon fodder.

The Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation!

Corpses dropped one after another, dragon scales and phoenix feathers fluttering down with the wind.

Terrifying fluctuations of power continuously erupted. Those shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and flying birds that had not yet reached the Human Immortal level were wiped out by the hundreds of thousands almost instantly, without any ability to resist.

A thick smell of blood permeated the air.

"This is... the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation?"

At the edge of the battlefield, an ethereal being of completely unknown background gazed into the distance.

He possessed no cultivation level at all. Even the lowest-ranking shrimp soldiers and flying birds did not care to bother with such a weak being, simply ignoring him indifferently before rushing onto the battlefield without a second thought.

A trace of helplessness flashed in Qin Xi's pitch-black pupils.

Let alone someone like himself without any cultivation, even Great Luo Golden Immortal poweratures appeared incomparably insignificant in such a tribulation.

[Ding, the host is currently at the inception of the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation. Please make a choice.]

[Choice 1: Participate in the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation and single-handedly declare war on the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans! Task Reward -- Great Luo Golden Immortal (Cultivation)]

[Choice 2: Participate in the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation and assist one of the Dragon, Phoenix, or Kirin Clans! Task Reward -- Ancestor Dragon/Primordial Phoenix/First Qilin Essence Blood (One drop)]

[Choice 3: Stay away from the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation and be a hermit enjoying a leisurely life! Task Reward -- Mysterious Dojo (Heavenly Dao Grade)]

[...]

Three options suddenly appeared before Qin Xi.

The first option, although capable of instantly granting him Great Luo Golden Immortal-level cultivation and making him a top-tier powerhouse in the Primordial World, still did not count as being among the absolute pinnacle, and he would have to declare war on the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans simultaneously.

Qin Xi did not believe that a Great Luo Golden Immortal acting this arrogant would be able to survive for more than a few days.

After all, in this era when Hongjun had yet to attain saint hood and the Wu and Yao Clans were nowhere in sight, the Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, and First Qilin were the strongest beings of the present age, each possessing the strength of the Quasi-Sage Peak.

Wanting to slap to death a "fake" Great Luo Golden Immortal like him was just a matter of minutes.

"Having only the realm without combat experience, divine abilities, or magical treasures is ultimately unviable."

"A fake like me is definitely among the weakest batch of Great Luo Golden Immortals."

"Declaring war on the three clans is simply courting death."

"..."

For the second option, if he assisted one of the clans, he could obtain a drop of Ancestor Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, or First Qilin essence blood.

With the system's help to perfectly fuse and absorb it, although he could not directly reach the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, cultivating smoothly all the way to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm would pose no problem.

Most creatures of the Primordial World were naturally endowed with extraordinary talents.

Even the weakest ant possessed Foundation Establishment cultivation the moment it was born. Through the stages of Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Division, Body Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, and Mahayana, it could become a 'Human Immortal', barely qualifying as a basic combat power unit in the Primordial World.

As for the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin Clans, newborns were generally Human Immortals, and possibly even at the True Immortal realm!

The cultivation realms of the Primordial World, from low to high, could be divided into Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Heaven Immortal, True Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, or the strongest beings of the current world -- the Quasi-Sages!

"Even powerhouses at the Quasi-Sage Peak ultimately meet their end in death, suppression, or sealing."

"Even if I cultivate to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, the better outcome after fusing with essence blood would be becoming the mount of some future immortal."

"The taste of being at the mercy of others is not a pleasant one."

"..."

There were no victors in the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation; the three clans ultimately suffered countless casualties and were left utterly debilitated.

Even if he were a Taiyi Golden Immortal, he would not be able to guarantee his safety in such a massive war, and the greater possibility would be dropping dead on the spot during some battle, dissipating between heaven and earth.

"So... I choose the third one!"

Regarding the three choices before him, Qin Xi made his decision without the slightest hesitation.

Stay away from the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation and be a hermit!

After all, compared to the first two completely unreliable options, only this one was the easiest to survive this calamity with.

[Ding, congratulations to the host on a successful choice. You have obtained a 'Mysterious Dojo' (Heavenly Dao Grade).]

[...]

The moment the choice was completed, in The Valley where Qin Xi was located.

A radius of a hundred miles was covered by a layer of mysterious power, and the concept of time seemed to be infinitely prolonged.

Even if a Heavenly Dao Sage stepped into it, all their strength would be instantly suppressed.

In this era where only Quasi-Sages existed, this was undoubtedly the safest place.

"At the beginning of Nuwa creating humans, the forces of the Human Race were extremely weak, and they could only be reduced to food for the Monster Clan."

"Although my strength is very weak, I cannot raise the overall strength of the Human Race."

"The only thing I can do is to build a Pure Land suitable for survival in advance."

"..."

Qin Xi took a final glance at the battlefield in the distance.

Dragon breath and phoenix fire were destroying the earth and oceans, as if they wanted to destroy everything in the world.

However, no matter what kind of power it was, once it approached the dao field, it would dissipate into invisibility, completely failing to affect the peace here.

However, without any cultivation base to speak of, he simply did not want to meddle in this calamity.

Without looking back, he walked toward the center of The Valley. Qin Xi only wanted to forge this place into a paradise on earth before the birth of the Human Race. Perhaps the merit of sheltering the Human Race could allow him to survive in this era...
