The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Qingyun Sect.

Zhong Xuan, the deputy sect leader of Qingyun Sect, was summoned to a small grove by Qing Yinyan, the sect leader of Qingyun Sect.

The scenery here is tranquil and pleasant.

"Jong-hyun, what brings you here today?" Qing Yinyan sat quietly in a chair carved with a dragon and phoenix pattern.

The chair is made entirely of ancient wood, which has been around for a thousand years and exudes a faint fragrance.

Its surface is inlaid with countless gems that shimmer with mysterious light, like stars fallen to earth.

"Sect Master, I don't quite understand." Jonghyun cupped his hands in apology.

"According to rumors, Jiang Chuan is fleeing Qing City with his wife, children, and elderly parents, planning to move to another place. Go and check if it's true," Qing Yinyan said.

"No way, he almost killed me last time. Going there now would be suicide." Jonghyun frowned and said helplessly.

"Why are you so timid as the vice sect leader of Qingyun Sect? You were so bold when you were in this position, you forced your way in." Qing Yinyan crossed her slender legs, causing Zhong Xuan's gaze to wander.

"Sect Master, you know as well."

"Jiang Chuan is a ruthless character."

“His men are no pushovers either.”

"The last time the Diviner Alliance was defeated, it was simply because they didn't know enough information."

"Even if you gave me two lives, I wouldn't dare go."

Jonghyun tried to remain calm, but there was still a hint of worry in his voice.

Qing Yinyan smiled gently and said, "Zhongxuan, I naturally understand your concerns. However, this mission is different from the past. Although Jiang Chuan is troublesome, he is no match for us after all. Moreover, if he really leaves with his wife and children as rumored, this is an opportunity."

"No, unless the sect leader can give me a way to save my life, I won't go even if you kill me." Zhong Xuan had unknowingly walked to Qing Yinyan's side and hugged the chair he was sitting on, acting coquettishly.

Seeing this, Qing Yinyan bit her red lips, frowned, and said, "Alright, I'll make you even stronger and give you more ways to protect yourself."

Upon hearing Qing Yinyan's words, Zhong Xuan immediately stood up straight and said, "That would be wonderful."

As soon as he finished speaking, a jade bottle appeared in Qing Yinyan's palm.

And not long after the jade bottle appeared.

The mouth of the sealed jade bottle began to shake, as if something was pushing against it.

It didn't take long for the lid of the jade bottle to be pushed off by the contents inside.

Then a white object, about the size of an arm, resembling a cloud, emerged from the mouth of the jade bottle, without any solid form.

Upon seeing the object for the first time, Jonghyun pointed to the white object and asked, "Sect Leader, what is this?"

In response to Jonghyun's question, Qing Yinyan said, "This is the Primordial Aura, an aura that can enhance the power of a Noble Phantasm. I obtained this Primordial Aura by chance when I repaired the sealed space rift not long ago."

"What are the methods and techniques for using it?" Jonghyun asked.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yinyan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Summon your treasure and make it part of your treasure."

After speaking, Jonghyun summoned the long banner he had always carefully protected. It was this banner that allowed Jonghyun's strength to advance by leaps and bounds, from the mid-stage of the Earth Rank to the late-stage of the Earth Rank.

The moment the black banner appeared, it billowed in the wind, its dragon patterns appearing and disappearing, as if it were a messenger from the underworld, carrying forbidden incantations and whispering inexplicably.

"How can I fuse the Primordial Aura with my Treasure? Please enlighten me, Sect Master," Zhongxuan said.

Qing Yinyan's face darkened with displeasure upon hearing Zhongxuan's words. She said, "How do you usually pursue girls? If you put that same effort into the Primordial Aura, that will be enough."

After Qing Yinyan finished speaking, he sensed the time and realized that he had wasted a lot of time talking to Jonghyun.

These are the times she spends every day on beauty treatments, relaxation, and meditation, and she can't afford to miss them.

Jonghyun stared blankly as Qing Yinyan's delicate body vanished from the spot, leaving only a wisp of white primordial energy floating in the air.

This primordial aura was quite mischievous; its floating body made Jonghyun giggle, emitting a woman's voice.

The voice had a strange allure, making Jonghyun unable to resist the urge to rush forward and capture it.

I just saw Jonghyun move forward a short distance, preparing to hug it with both hands, but it cleverly dodged me.

Clearly, this primordial aura possesses sentience, but he still doesn't know why it's toying with Jonghyun.

If Qing Yinyan hadn't said that this wisp of white primordial aura was a product of enhancing the power of a treasure, he would have thought it was some wild ghost that had sprung up out of nowhere.

Jonghyun was slightly annoyed when he missed his target. He couldn't refuse what he wanted, and the Primordial Aura in front of him was clearly rejecting him frequently, which made him very angry.

As Jonghyun's body levitated, an endless suction force emanated from his palm. Suddenly, he grabbed at the spot where the Primordial Aura had been, and the Primordial Aura's body instantly clashed with that suction force.

Two energies with different properties are locked in a battle, with neither side gaining the upper hand.

In that instant of energy struggle, Jonghyun suddenly felt a powerful force surging out from his primordial aura body, releasing a milky white liquid that bypassed the void and went straight to Jonghyun.

Upon seeing this, Jonghyun made a hand seal, and his treasure, the black banner, stood upright beside him, blocking the milky white liquid.

However, these milky white liquids were soft, and after colliding with the black banner, they began to expand, enveloping the black banner's body.

After being enveloped by the black banner, Jonghyun's lips twitched. With his vast experience, he naturally knew what was going on; it was a treasure that the white primordial aura was about to devour him.

Jonghyun had intended to use his own Noble Phantasm to absorb the primordial energy, but now he was being counterattacked, which made him feel somewhat awkward.

He used to be the one to take the initiative in these kinds of things, but now that something else is taking the initiative, he feels a bit uncomfortable and needs to regain his home-field advantage.

When Jonghyun came to his senses, the energy within him surged like a raging sea.

Every wisp of it carried the boundless pressure of heaven and earth, as if it contained the primordial power of the beginning of the universe, surging to the extreme and making people's hearts tremble.

As these chilling auras swirled around his palm, the palm, imbued with powerful energy, condensed into a blade, instantly transforming into a streak of light that pierced the sky with overwhelming force, impossible to look directly at, before colliding with the milky white liquid.

The milky white liquid was subjected to Jonghyun's thunderous power.

It was instantly cleaved into countless pieces.

It was as if a fragile bubble had burst in a storm.

However, these fragments did not dissipate. Instead, they seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force and reformed into a thicker liquid, but it was still white.

Jonghyun was startled; the power of this primordial aura far exceeded his expectations.

It was able to neutralize his attack and even retaliate against him.

"Haha..." The primordial aura creature had already neutralized Jonghyun's previous move, retracting the liquid remaining in the air into its body, and then let out a eunuch laugh as it clashed with the sharp blade formed from Jonghyun's qi.

boom!
The primordial beings, their bodies flashing in the air, emitted a sound of wind breaking through.

Meanwhile, the sharp blades of qi on Jonghyun's arm roared out like wild dragons.

The clash of their attacks instantly tore apart the surrounding void, causing the once tranquil grove to explode.

boom!
A loud bang was followed by a strong gust of air.

The trees around them were instantly snapped, branches and leaves flying everywhere, like a sudden storm. The primordial being swayed, a cold smile appearing on its lips.

The primordial energy emanating from its body resembled a winding giant python, swirling in the air before instantly condensing into a giant sword, aimed directly at Jonghyun's vitals, as if it knew that to devour the black banner, it needed to defeat Jonghyun, the banner's owner.

Understanding the primordial aura being's intentions, Jonghyun's eyes narrowed, and the qi blade on his arm instantly split into countless tiny sword energies, attacking the primordial aura being like a storm.

"Haha, is this all the strength you have?" The primordial being laughed wildly, its body transforming into a giant sword that pierced towards Zhong Xuan like lightning. During this time, it spoke again: "The Dao follows nature, the power of heaven and earth gathers in one body, with just one sword, mountains collapse and the earth cracks, the wind and clouds change color."

The incantation fell, and the giant sword fell.

"Divine weapons, their sharpness fully revealed, a black banner appears." As Jonghyun finished speaking, the black banner rushed to his front, seemingly about to shake the might of heaven.

The giant sword, formed from the primordial energy, was wrapped in frost and slashed out with chilling force, instantly freezing the surrounding grove of trees for thousands of miles. Only Jonghyun was still struggling to stay frozen as the freezing approached.

Jonghyun's heart tightened upon seeing this sudden freeze.

But they did not panic.

I understand that in this life-or-death moment, only by remaining calm can we turn danger into safety.

He quickly adjusted his breathing and mobilized his internal energy in an attempt to break free from the freezing power.

However, the Daoist magic unleashed by the primordial beings was so powerful that Jonghyun was unable to budge it even slightly for a time.

Just then, the black banner suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

Like a roaring mythical beast, divine wings unfurled, sweeping across the sky and leaving behind breathtaking trails that enveloped Jonghyun.

This light was like a divine ray, instantly dispelling the surrounding icy power.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jonghyun adjusted his posture, and the qi blade on his arm split again, turning into countless sword energies that shot towards the primordial beings.

This time, he was no longer just on the defensive, but on the offensive.

Upon seeing this, the beings of the primordial aura changed their expressions slightly.

Unexpectedly, Jonghyun was able to fight back despite being at such a disadvantage.

It roared and its body transformed into a giant sword, slashing out once more. This time, it concentrated all its power into this single strike.

boom!
With a loud bang, Jonghyun's sword energy clashed once again with that of the primordial beings.

This time, the sound of the demonic chanting and the intertwining of incantations and seals filled the air.

The energy overflowing from the standoff between the two sides tore the void apart, leaving it unable to heal for a long time.

In the end, Jonghyun and the primordial beings each took a few steps back.

Jonghyun's clothes were torn by the sword energy, revealing mottled wounds.

The bodies of beings born from the primordial energy began to become ethereal, clearly indicating that the energy they could draw upon within their bodies had been exhausted.

But it refused to give up. It chanted mysterious incantations, and its illusory body began to emit a dazzling white light. As the white light flashed, its power became boundless.

As the vice sect leader of the Qingyun Sect, Zhong Xuan was naturally no pushover. He transformed and merged with the black banner, beginning to awaken a mysterious power.

When Jonghyun merged with the long banner, black runes appeared on the surface of the banner.

Then the long banner that had been hovering in the void leaped up and rushed out with unstoppable force to meet the milky white giant sword formed from the primordial aura.

This time, the primordial beings broke free of the formation with the momentum of sword light as bright as the sunset, severing the restraints.

At the crucial moment, Jonghyun suddenly felt a powerful force surging out from the long banner.

The power surged into his body like a tidal wave, instantly restoring his strength.

A resolute glint flashed in his eyes. His hands swiftly formed hand seals, and he chanted incantations as a powerful aura erupted from his body.

Under Jonghyun's control, the long black banner resembled a giant dragon, tumbling in the air. Each tumble carried immense power, rushing straight towards the primordial beings.

The Primordial Aura sensed Jonghyun's powerful energy, and its expression turned serious.

This time, Jonghyun has pulled out all the stops, ready to deliver a crushing blow to the primordial beings.

It roared and its body transformed into a giant sword once more.

The sword flashed with a milky white light, slashing towards Jonghyun with the force of tearing through the air.

A resolute glint flashed in Jonghyun's eyes. He stopped dodging and charged towards the giant sword.

break!
Jonghyun shouted, his hands quickly forming a seal, and a powerful force erupted from his body, colliding with the giant sword of the primordial being.

boom!
With a loud bang, the two forces collided.

It generated a huge energy fluctuation, tearing apart the surrounding air.

Jonghyun gathered his true energy and controlled the giant dragon to press its advantage, swallowing the primordial beings whose consciousness had stagnated and beginning to refine them.

Everything returned to normal. Jonghyun sat on his black banner and began to direct the banner to refine the milky white primordial energy that it had swallowed.

Jonghyun closed his eyes slightly, sensing the primordial energy surging within Changfan's body.

With Jonghyun's breath, the primordial energy within the long banner surged and churned like boiling magma.

Jonghyun moved his hands in the air, and mysterious runes flew from his fingertips, merging into the long banner.

These runes seemed to be guides of the primordial energy, directing that milky-white aura to every corner of the long banner.

Mysterious patterns gradually appeared on the surface of the long banner.

These patterns, like living things, constantly wriggled, enveloping the primordial aura within them.

Jonghyun knew that this refining process was no easy task.

The Primordial Aura is a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, containing endless mysteries.

If Jonghyun hadn't possessed formidable skills and profound knowledge, he probably wouldn't have even had the courage to try.

However, Jonghyun did not back down because of this.

Only by refining the primordial energy can one advance further and grasp more of the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Under Jonghyun's control, the primordial energy within the long banner was gradually refined.

It turned into pieces of crystal-clear white liquid.

These liquids, like beautiful jade, radiated an alluring luster.

The refined, milky-white primordial aura, about the size of a little finger, began to wander on the long banner.

Jonghyun opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He had succeeded.

He could feel his strength increasing once again, and he vaguely sensed that he had one foot in the Heavenly Realm, his power terrifyingly strong. (End of Chapter)
