Golden Turtle Island.

Xuanqing sits cross-legged on the cloud bed in his cave, behind him a Dao Tree faintly visible, connecting the Multiverse and drawing Primordial Qi from the void according to the methods taught by Candle Dragon.

What is Primordial Chaos?

Primordial Chaos, where Primordial Qi is undivided, Chaos is unified, the origin of Primordial Qi!

Primordial Qi is born in Chaos, within the light and beyond the darkness. From the space between light and darkness, hollows form, within these hollows, Taixu emerges. Taixu transforms and separates into three energies: Xuan Qi, Primordial Qi, and Primordial Beginnings Qi, these three energies mixed with Chaos give rise to Taixu that establishes hollows, from hollows comes nonexistence, from nonexistence comes existence, from existence comes space. Observing the changes between space and nonexistence, one can naturally generate emptiness.

The upper energy is Primordial Beginnings Qi, the middle energy is Primordial Qi, the lower energy is Xuan Qi. Xuan Qi is born from space, Primordial Qi is born from hollows, Primordial Beginnings Qi is born from nonexistence, thus one gives rise to two, two give rise to three, three give rise to all things...

These three are born from the unity of the three energies, at the origin of Primordial Qi, reaching the Infinite, the state called Primordial Infinite Chaos.

In Candle Dragon’s explanation, to step into the realm of Primordial Golden Immortals, transformations are required in Mana, Physical Body, Primordial Spirit, and the transformation of the Great Way into Dao Fruit!

Only after each of these four aspects experiences a transformation, and Primordial Chaos unifies as one, with a Method imbued with Primordial Spirit, a body like Chaos, a spirit like the Universe, and a Dao that transforms the cosmos, can one be called a Primordial Golden Immortal.

Among these four, transforming Mana is the easiest, before the era of Dragon Han, the Dragon Clan had already derived a profound method called "Tai Chu Nine Refinements" allowing those of Daluo level to transform the quality of their Mana.

Next, from easy to difficult, come the Physical Body, Primordial Spirit, and Dao Fruit, ultimately achieving unity with Primordial Chaos.

Of course, this is just Candle Dragon’s feeling!

By manifesting a Heart Demon and reflecting on the spiritual platform, Xuanqing could continuously extract the power of all beings to strengthen his Primordial Spirit, and he felt that transforming the Primordial Spirit was the easiest.

"Let’s do both at once!"

Although the transformations differ in difficulty, there is no fixed sequence of transformation. After pondering for a while, Xuanqing decided to undergo the transformations of Mana and Primordial Spirit simultaneously.

Boom!

Vast Primordial Qi continuously flowed into Xuanqing’s body, refined through "Tai Chu Nine Refinements" it became as heavy as mountains, as vast as the ocean, and the Dantian transformed into a sea of Primordial Qi.

However, during this process, Xuanqing also felt some resistance, which was the innate disinclination and rejection from the Heavenly Dao towards the path of Primordial Golden Immortal.

"So that’s how it is!"

Xuanqing suddenly realized: "The amount of Primordial Qi that a Primordial Golden Immortal Cultivator needs to engulf is countless times more than that of a Quasi-Saint! No wonder the Heavenly Dao rejects this path!"

Suppose the Primordial Qi in the Primordial World could support a thousand Quasi-Saints, but if it were replaced by Primordial Golden Immortals, perhaps it could only support a hundred or even fewer!

Yet, despite some differences, there isn’t a significant gap between the two.

A single Primordial Golden Immortal might be able to contend against two or three Quasi-Saints, and while the Quasi-Saints have Three Corpses Incarnations, they can also summon these three corpses for a righteous melee... There isn’t an insurmountable gap between the two!

Realizing this, Xuanqing immediately decided to leave Golden Turtle Island, feeling that the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal was better pursued in the Ancient Starry Sky.

Located near the Primordial World Barrier, the Ancient Starry Sky, once reorganized into the Celestial Stars Battle Formation and transforming Chaos Spiritual Energy, will become the place within the Primordial World with the richest Spiritual Energy... As long as he is involved in this plan, he wouldn’t need to worry about being rejected by the Heavenly Dao for consuming too much Spiritual Energy!

Can’t I absorb a bit more of the Innate Spiritual Energy that I myself transformed?

And as Xuanqing had just arrived at Ancient Starry Sky, he saw Candle Dragon bringing Fu Xi there. They were discussing whether Candle Dragon’s idea of trading transformed Chaos Spiritual Energy with the Heavenly Dao for Merit was feasible using the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation."

"In theory, it’s possible!"

Fu Xi, skilled in Array Dao, had participated in both the "Celestial Stars Battle Formation" and "Primordial River Luo Formation", his skill in Array Dao possibly second only to a few Heavenly Dao Saints.

Thus, he immediately recognized that what Candle Dragon explained was very likely achievable.

However, the biggest current problem is the manpower to set up the formation. The Human Race has developed over several eras, so there are only just over thirty Daluos. Even adding the heritage of the Dragon Clan, they cannot make up half of the required number.

"If the quality isn’t enough, make up for it in quantity!"

Seeing the two discussing simplifying the formation, Xuanqing stepped forward and said: "Although we can’t gather three hundred sixty-five Daluo Golden Immortals, over a hundred Daluo Golden Immortals, combined with some Arrays comparable to Daluo, connected in the manner of Myriad Immortals Formation, might just be sufficient!"

In the Jie Sect, there is no lack of Arrays; the "Ten Extreme Array" by the Ten Heaven Lords and "Plague Yellow Formation" by Lv Yue, are Arrays that allow a Taiyi being to match a Daluo Golden Immortal.

In Xuanqing’s view, finding three hundred sixty-five Daluo is difficult, but producing three hundred sixty-five Taiyi, not even mentioning the Dragon Clan, both the Human Race and Jie Sect could contribute!

"That is a solution indeed!"

Candle Dragon’s eyes suddenly brightened. During the initial repairs of the Ancient Starry Sky, they incorporated the Dragon Clan’s "Myriad Dragons Facing Heaven Formation" with the Jie Sect’s "Myriad Immortals Formation."

Fu Xi looked at Xuanqing, revealing a hint of a smile: "Daoist Xuanqing, what a clever idea! Although it was your suggestion, you made Candle Dragon come to me for the Array Map, it seems you don’t want to get involved in the karma at all! But I remember when you swayed me before, every word was full of righteousness."

"How come..."

"Why don’t you want to get involved with this Emperor at all?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing forcibly calmed himself and said: "Great God Fu Xi, what do you mean by this? You lured away my disciple and yet, you reproach me here?"
