The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

If sages are at similar levels, it will take at least a thousand years to determine who is superior. But if their levels are vastly different, the outcome can be decided in an instant.

This time, the resentment of the Chaos Demon God was only equivalent to the cultivation of the first level of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

However, because it contains the law of devouring, ordinary magical attacks have little effect on it, making it extremely difficult to deal with.

That is why it took Yuanshi and Taiqing half an hour to suppress it together.

Just then, the gates of Taiqing Palace were suddenly flung open.

Upon seeing this, Taibai immediately entered the palace.

At this moment, the palace had already returned to normal, with no trace of fighting.

Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi remained seated in their original positions, with the broken Devouring Heaven Bottle quietly floating in front of Taiqing.

Taiqing waved his whisk, pushing the treasure bottle toward Taibai.

"Keep this safe. Its aura has been concealed, but you can carefully study the Devouring Law within it, which will greatly benefit your cultivation."

As soon as he finished speaking, Taibai was carried back to Taibai Palace by a gentle breeze.

At the same time, the Zhuxian Sword Formation that had enveloped Kunlun Mountain was quietly withdrawn by Tongtian.

"It seems the matter of devouring the demon god's resentment is completely over. Although Mount Kunlun may be coveted by powerful beings..."

However, the Devouring Heaven Treasure Bottle could never be exposed, after all, among the Four Swords of Immortal Execution, only a Dao Ancestor who has fully attained the Dao could possibly glimpse its secrets.

Without giving it much thought, Taibai immediately calmed his mind and prepared to comprehend the mysteries within the Heaven-Swallowing Treasure Bottle on his cloud bed.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his body was surrounded by celestial light, which resonated with the spiritual energy of the surrounding world.

Each breath resonated with the Daoist principles, making the atmosphere within the Taibai Palace exceptionally tranquil and profound.

At this moment, all his attention was focused on the broken treasure bottle in front of him.

There was no wind indoors, and in this absolute stillness, Taibai's mind was clear and focused, allowing him to adjust his state to its optimal level.

After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze bright and clear, firm and resolute.

"Now is the time."

With a slight thought, a trace of the primordial spirit's original mark was peeled out from deep within the ancestral aperture between Taibai's eyebrows.

This condensed radiance, carrying a trace of his fundamental spirituality, slowly detached from his body and drifted toward the broken bottle.

"May the Three Pure Ones bring peace and tranquility, and may all spirits proclaim this. Take refuge in the Great Dao, and let your primordial spirit be your guide! Go!"

The light of the hand seal merged with the mantra spoken, transforming into a clear light containing the power of refinement, which was then added to that primordial spirit imprint.

The mark immediately shone brightly, firmly resisting the instinctive resistance of the broken bottle.

Then, the mark began to slowly seep into the inside of the bottle.

Thus, the sun rose and set, the stars shifted and the constellations turned, and forty-nine days and nights passed quietly in absolute meditation.

"Buzz..."

Just as the forty-ninth day came to a perfect end, the broken Devouring Heaven Bottle, which had been silent all along, suddenly trembled.

On the bottle, a primordial radiance perfectly matching the aura of Taibai flashed and disappeared.

The primordial spirit imprint is complete!

Taibai's tense mind suddenly relaxed, he exhaled a long breath, and a smile appeared on his face that he could not help but show.

Although this is only the most basic refining, and the actual power of the treasure bottle that can be controlled and driven is only one or two tenths, and the scope is limited, its significance is extremely important.

This signifies that he can now begin to comprehend the laws of devouring.

More importantly, from then on, this magical treasure bore its unique mark, and its foundation was solidified.

In the future, not only will it be difficult for it to turn against its master, but even if it is lost elsewhere, others will find it extremely difficult to erase this mark and take it away.

After a brief moment of rest and recuperation, Taibai did not delay.

He knew that the initial refinement was merely the beginning of mastering this object.

The true immeasurable value of this broken Devouring Heaven Bottle lies in the Devouring Law within it.

He calmed his mind again and probed the inside of the broken bottle with all his divine sense.

As soon as Taibai's divine sense penetrated into the scene, he felt the view before him suddenly change.

It was no longer the Taibai Palace, but a dark void with pale purple runes floating around it.

The pale purple runes intertwined, forming an extremely complex network that demonstrated the various transformations of devouring this fundamental source of the Great Dao:

Ingest, digest, transform, annihilate, return to nothingness...

With just his divine sense, Taibai felt his magical power and divine consciousness being activated.

He quickly guarded his Dao heart, using the pure light of the Three Pure Ones to firmly protect the origin of his divine sense, barely managing to resist the erosion of the all-pervasive Daoist principles.

"What an overbearing law of devouring! Even though the vessel is broken and the law itself is only a few scattered fragments, it still has such a terrifying power."

Although this law isn't among the top ten, if I study it carefully, my cultivation will progress much faster.

A strong desire to explore surged forth from Taibai Dao's heart.

He calmed his mind, no longer passively sensing, but instead tried to comprehend the Devouring Law based on his own understanding of the Five Elements Law.

However, Li Bai was also self-aware; he was not greedy for more or for faster results.

Instead, they selected the most basic Devouring Rune, dissecting its structure bit by bit and sensing its fluctuations.

In the primordial era, time was immeasurable. When cultivators secluded themselves for a long time, a thousand years could pass in the blink of an eye.

Taibai maintained his original posture, his mind completely immersed in comprehending the Devouring Rune, utterly isolated from the outside world.

On this day, Taibai, who had been sitting quietly for a thousand years, suddenly trembled slightly.

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze not flashing with divine light, but rather deep and profound.

His aura remained harmonious and serene, but with each breath he exhaled...

The rich spiritual energy that was originally evenly permeated in the quiet room would naturally gather around him.

"I didn't expect that cultivating the Devouring Law could accelerate the absorption of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. I might as well give it another try."

Thinking of this, Taibai raised his right hand, palm facing upwards. With a slight thought, the Devouring Law within his body began to condense towards his palm.

The next moment, the light in the air about a foot above the palm of his hand distorted slightly, and a vortex the size of a thumb and pale purple appeared out of thin air.

The cyclone rotated slowly, emitting a faint hissing sound.

The spiritual energy in the quiet room suddenly surged towards the small vortex at a speed far exceeding usual, disappearing without a trace.

Even a wisp of dust on a nearby table quietly rose, was swept into the vortex, and vanished instantly.

Although this vortex is weak, its devouring power is probably enough to devour even the protective spiritual light of a Golden Immortal.

Become!

Over a thousand years, without relying on the treasure bottle itself, it was able to simulate this wisp of devouring power in the void outside its body solely based on its own understanding of the laws.

This signifies that he has finally truly entered the realm of knowledge and has grasped about one-tenth of the true meaning of the Devouring Law within this incomplete treasure bottle.

It may seem like only 10%, which is insignificant.

However, he knew that this was the Great Dao Law originating from the core essence of a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

For him, who was still in the mid-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, mastering this path was already a rare opportunity and a significant benefit.

"This breakthrough to the mid-stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal and comprehension of 10% of the Devouring Law is not bad."
