Junior Uncle is too cunning.

The Nameless Cauldron and the Treasure-Dropping Coin somehow emerged from Li Shundao's body and began to circle around him, causing the auspicious clouds to thin out wherever they passed.

At some point and from some unknown place, Li Shundao seemed to hear Chen Fusheng calling out.

"Isn't Chen Fusheng in Donghai Town? Could he have come to Wuyishan as well?"

"Wuyishan" and "Crossing the Tribulation"

"I'm undergoing tribulation," Li Shundao suddenly came to his senses. After clearing his mind, he scanned the surroundings warily and sensed the powerful aura of the dozen or so Golden Immortals in the distance.

Apart from these, there were no other living creatures nearby. He breathed a slight sigh of relief, slowly stood up, and glanced at the nameless cauldron and the treasure-falling coin in front of him. Their auras seemed much stronger.

"It's good that you're alright," Li Shundao said, putting them away for now. After all, there were still so many Golden Immortals outside, so he could study them later.

I raised my hand and clenched it, feeling as if I could break through the spatial barrier between heaven and earth with a single reach.

Li Shundao felt slightly uncomfortable. He knew that this was just an illusion caused by his recent breakthrough. Not to mention him, even a Great Luo Immortal could not break through the spatial barrier of the Primordial World.

Back in the day, the primordial world transformed from one continent into the four continents we know today. It took more than a dozen quasi-saints from the Wu and Yao clans working together. In the end, Gonggong of the Wu clan angrily rammed into Mount Buzhou, causing it to collapse and creating a huge hole in the heavens and earth, shattering the primordial continent.

It took the six sages a great deal of effort to mend the sky, and then they refined the fragments of the primordial continent into the four continents, and the world was finally suppressed again.

He circulated the energy technique several more times before finally suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Looking at the distant ground, Li Shundao felt an urge, as if he could reach the ground with a single thought. Although breaking through the spatial barrier was impossible, teleportation was a special skill of powerful Golden Immortals.

Li Shundao put on a new spiritual robe, thought for a moment, and then used the "Gou Jing" to give himself a new look. It was better for Li Shundao's identity to remain hidden.

“It seems this fellow Daoist has awakened,” a Golden Immortal said with a smile.

“Well then, let’s head forward and meet them,” Huajian nodded and said to the crowd.

The other Golden Immortals nodded in agreement after hearing Hua Jian's words. Since Li Shundao was still asleep, if they went directly to him, they might disturb his enlightenment. This was a way of protecting him, which was why they stood at a distance.

With a thought in his mind, Li Shundao's divine power surged unconsciously, as if he had made use of the space, and he disappeared into the cave.

Li Shundao stumbled forward a couple of steps, looking at the cave entrance several kilometers away. He was quite pleased; he had actually managed to teleport, even though his aim and direction were a bit off. He had managed to land in one step.

Hua Jian and the others looked at Li Shundao, who had appeared on the ground, and their eyes flashed.

"This fellow Daoist is very quick to learn. He has already mastered teleportation right after breaking through. I took half a year to learn it back then. He is truly amazing!"

"Yes, yes, it took me about half a year."

……

Hua Jian looked at Li Shundao, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, his face full of admiration, and nodded in agreement.

Li Shundao also noticed the immortals slowly flying towards him. He quickly suppressed his restless desire and went to meet them.

These people are my seniors. Although I have also broken through, I am still a junior. Besides, the fact that the immortals did not use umbrellas earlier showed me a lot of goodwill. It is always right for me to be humble.

When they were still a hundred meters away, Hua Jian and the others stopped. Li Shundao stepped forward and bowed to the immortals, saying, "Junior Jin Wanqian greets all the seniors and thanks you for protecting me just now."

Seeing Li Shundao's politeness, everyone returned the greeting with satisfaction. One of the Golden Immortal Daoists took a small step forward and laughed, "This humble Daoist Wu Ku greets Fellow Daoist Jin."

We are all human, so it is only right that we help each other. Besides, what happened just now was just a side effect. Even without us, things would have gone as planned. So we dare not accept this favor of protecting you.

Moreover, since you have already attained the Golden Immortal realm, you are now one of us. From now on, you can simply address me as "Fellow Daoist."

As he spoke, he bowed to Li Shundao again, and Li Shundao hurriedly returned the bow.

Seeing that the other Golden Immortals also nodded in agreement, Li Shundao readily agreed and bowed to everyone with a gesture of kinship, saying, "Then Jin Wanqian greets all fellow Daoists once again."

Wu Ku Jin Xian and others stood up before bowing to Li Shundao again. "Fellow Daoist may not be too familiar with us yet, so let me introduce you first."

Upon hearing this, Li Shundao quickly bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you so much, Fellow Daoist Wuku."

The Golden Immortal pointed to Hua Jian in the center and introduced, "Fellow Daoist Jin, this is True Lord Hua Jian of the Hua Jian Sect, an honorary elder of our Central Continent Dao Alliance."

Upon hearing this, Li Shundao hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. Not to mention that this person was an acquaintance he had heard of, the mere mention of the title "True Lord" was enough to inspire his respect. This was a form of reverence for the ancient Daoist.

"Wanqian has met Fellow Daoist Huajian. I have long admired your name."

Upon hearing Li Shundao's words, Hua Jian returned the greeting and asked with some curiosity, "Has Fellow Daoist Jin met this old Daoist before?"

"No, I just enjoy your company of wine amidst the flowers," Li Shundao said with a smile, shaking his head.

Hua Jian was taken aback upon hearing this, then burst out laughing, "What a wonderful compliment, Fellow Daoist Jin! Your words are truly exquisite."

The other Golden Immortals laughed out loud after hearing the conversation between the two, and the atmosphere became much warmer than before.

The Golden Immortal glanced at Li Shundao and continued to introduce, "This is Elder Lindian of the Dao Alliance. He is a master craftsman. You can seek him out for crafting any artifacts you wish to craft in the future."

"Wanqian greets Fellow Daoist Lin."

Lin Dian returned Li Shundao's greeting with a smile and said, "Don't listen to Wu Ku's nonsense. I only know a little about weapon crafting. If Fellow Daoist Jin is interested, we can discuss it together."

Li Shundao smiled and nodded.

Wu Ku continued his introduction, saying that most of them were elders of the Dao Alliance, and even the rest were honorary elders.

However, in addition to their identity in the Dao Alliance, each person also represents different forces. Some are business owners, some are patriarchs of sects, and it is rare to find someone like Hua Jian who is both a patriarch of a sect and a business owner.

Li Shundao silently surveyed the area. Apart from Hua Jian, Wu Ku, and a few others, most of them, like him, displayed only the initial stage of cultivation.

They chatted for a while, exchanged contact information, and then tactfully parted ways. After all, Li Shundao had just broken through and needed to stabilize his cultivation and comprehend the Dao. Too much disturbance would not be considered getting to know him, but rather making enemies.

However, the invitations from Wu Ku and Hua Jian, one open and one covert, left him somewhat puzzled.

Wu Ku could understand it somewhat; as a person in charge of the Dao Alliance in Zhongzhou, the other party would definitely try to recruit a newly breakthrough Golden Immortal.

The telepathic communication between Hua Jian was indeed puzzling to Li Shundao. It was the first time the two had met, and he was also new to Zhongzhou. There was no conflict of interest between them, so why did Hua Jian suddenly ask to meet him?

Li Shundao didn't give a definite answer in the end, only saying that he would consider it. The two of them understood, after all, it was time to go into seclusion to consolidate one's cultivation.

Finally, Hua Jian specifically told him to contact him anytime he had time, and Li Shundao agreed.

After the Golden Immortals left, Li Shundao breathed a sigh of relief. He looked up at the immortals in the distance, paying particular attention to Bingyu and Hua Wujin's faces, before turning and leaving.

As Bingyu watched Li Shundao's figure, the image of the thief who had broken into the mountains suddenly came to mind.
