Chapter Twenty-Five: Refining the Primordial Spirit

  A desolate and ancient long howl, carrying the breath of the primordial chaos, was emitted from Xu Kong's mouth, startling the flying birds and running beasts in the mountains for a moment.

  All the animals that heard the whistling sound involuntarily bowed their heads, hundreds of birds jumped onto the branches, thousands of beasts ran out from the mountains, the stream rippled with waves, and the trees swayed in the wind. This is a kind of innate intimidating power of the king of all beasts.

  What creature in these mountains dares to resist the infinite power emanating from Xuan Kong's body?

  Even the great king of the mountain waist cave, Shan Gui, had a face that was frozen in shock, unthinkable: "That little Taoist priest actually really understood the dragon pearl!" He received the command token and set off directly from Zhongnan Mountain, and the master of Baiyun Temple didn't even have time to instruct him on how to use the dragon pearl.

  Normally, it was just used as a magic treasure for worship and against enemies, but I never thought it had such power.

  The only ones who seemed calm were a group of human cultivators who had occupied the summit of Ling Mountain, but these mysterious masters did not have the ability to feel the power of heaven and earth, and they were still snoring away. On the other hand, in the hut next to the Upper Clear Hall, where the old Daoist master rested, a faint light was still shining through.

  Yi Mei Dao Chang was originally a fortune teller traveling in the Jianghu, but after obtaining several ancient divine legacies, he created the Lao Shan sect. After the establishment of the Lao Shan sect, he naturally did not forget his old profession and instead gained many new skills from the legacy of the Taoist tradition.

  At this moment, he still hasn't rested.

  Standing by the window, gazing at the moonlit night with sparse stars, he was pondering over the events of the day. Suddenly, he heard a cacophony of animal cries beside his ear, and he was startled. As the founder of the Cangshan Sect for many years, he had never seen such an unusual phenomenon.

  Hastily calculated with hands, but couldn't get the result.

  Yi Mei Dao Chang didn't know that this was the result of Xuan Kong's power from the Dragon Pearl, washing his marrow and turning his pulse. He only knew it was the might of heaven and earth. Hurriedly walking back to the front desk, he arranged the copper coins and carefully calculated them. In the past few days, he had calculated that the Luoshan Sect would have a great disaster befalling them.

  It's just a pity that I'm not proficient enough to understand the hexagrams. Although I had the idea of protecting the living force of Congshan School, I gave Xuan Kong the order to go down the mountain, and now I can only hope to seize a glimmer of life.

  Watching the animal change tonight, one eyebrow said that the long life is afraid of the hexagram, but after arranging the hexagram, it was all in vain.

  He let out a sigh, and with a wave of his hand, the candle flame was extinguished. He muttered to himself: "It's just a pity that my Cangshan Sect doesn't have the art of divination and numerology. This time, although I saw that our sect is about to face a great calamity, but it's unclear... I only hope that by sending the Xuankong Sect down the mountain, I can leave behind a legacy for my Cangshan Sect to continue its teachings. If it were up to me..."

  His voice grew lower and lower, and in the end he didn't say anything, just let out a long sigh and sat down on the couch with his legs crossed. He made up his mind that tomorrow he couldn't let Wang Qi drag things out any longer, he had to make him go and inform Xuankong right away, and hurry down the mountain to take refuge!

  It turned out that Eyebrow Taoist's dispatch of Xuankong down the mountain had such a hidden situation, but unfortunately Xuankong himself didn't know. Otherwise, he would have been willing to give up his long-awaited adventure down the mountain and stay on the mountain with his master to overcome the tribulation together.

  Fortunately, Xuan Kong himself was unaware of it and was feeling the new power born within his body.

  He felt that his body seemed to have something extra, a mysterious and subtle feeling, although not in his own body but like his own flesh and blood, he could command it at will. He pondered for a moment, then manipulated the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir to rotate freely, instinctively driving the new things born inside his body.

  A silver awn burst out from the top of Xuan Kong's head, and the true yuan inside his body began to flow rapidly. He only felt a sharp pain in the center of his forehead, as if something had broken through. Just as he was about to cover his forehead with his hand, Xuan Kong suddenly found that his visual angle had changed.

  Apart from his own two eyes, there seemed to be another pair of eyes above him, staring down at his forehead.

  "Impossible, I've actually cultivated a Primordial Spirit?"

  The silver awns on his head radiated a brilliant light, enveloping the entire body of Xuan Kong. Xuan Kong slowly raised his head, as still as a wooden chicken, and indeed saw that on top of his own head, on a palm-sized silver auspicious cloud, a condensed and substantial primordial spirit was coiled, occasionally emitting a faint dragon hum from its mouth.

  Not bad, it's indeed the dragon's roar. Look at that slender body, those sharp-toothed limbs, and the two horns on its head, all of which are similar to Xiao Bai Long Ao Lie's true form in the Dragon Ball.

  Xuán Kōng was stunned, he knew himself best, and he was absolutely a normal human being. However, how could the primordial spirit he cultivated be a small white dragon? Moreover, it looked exactly like ào Liè, this was simply too unbelievable.

  He didn't know that with Xuan Kong's current cultivation, he was still in the realm of refining the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir, and wanting to achieve the true fruit of his primordial spirit was still far from enough. This time, however, he had borrowed the dragon power within the Dragon Pearl from Xiao Bai Long Ao Lie, and suddenly broke through the mortal shackles.

  From an ordinary body of a half-immortal, it truly transformed into a celestial being's body.

  It was just that when Xuan Kong was condensing his primordial spirit, the spiritual awareness from Ao Lie was too powerful and suppressed Xuan Kong's own original spiritual awareness, so what appeared was a jade dragon. Xuan Kong quickly thought this through, and his eyes lit up - what did this mean?

  The primordial spirit, once the Daoist's primordial spirit is formed, it means that this person has truly transcended the cycle of the five elements and achieved the great wisdom and divine powers of a Xian. However, Xuán Kōng was able to form his own using áo Liè's power when his own spiritual consciousness was insufficient.

  This means that Xuan Kong can now use the immortal family spells passed down from the Pai Zhua tradition ahead of time.

  Others may not know, but Xuan Kong's heart is clear. The ancient great god's magic is the most profound and unpredictable, using mortal means can only be barely used, only when one has reached the power and realm of a god, can they bring out the original skills of the great god.

  Moreover, the most important thing is that generally speaking, a cultivator only has one primordial spirit and only one life. However, Xu Kong was different, his own body he understood himself, when his own magical powers reached a certain level, at the very least he would still be able to condense out his own innate primordial spirit.

  This way, compared to others, it's like having an extra life. Who wouldn't want their life to be a bit longer, especially for cultivators? As I always say, if you're not afraid of death, why bother cultivating so painstakingly?

  The most important thing is that Xuan Kong himself does not reject the Jade Dragon True Spirit. Perhaps in this world, there is no such saying, but among Xuan Kong's predecessors, every countryman considers themselves to be a descendant of the dragon and feels proud. In this life, being able to obtain the Jade Dragon True Spirit makes Xuan Kong very happy.

  Sitting cross-legged until dawn.

  He liked the bubbling in his heart, gathered strength, got up from bed and was about to go visit the old Taoist priest to tell him this good news. Suddenly, he heard Wang Qi's voice outside the door calling out: "Big Brother Master, Big Brother Master!"

  Xuan Kong heard Wang Qi's urgent voice and was startled: "Ah, no, could it be that Deng Lizong didn't keep his promise and came up the mountain to take revenge?" He was most afraid of letting the old Daoist master know about this matter, otherwise he would inevitably have to endure another scolding. However, as for Deng Lizong's revenge, he wasn't worried in his heart.

  After he refined the yuan Shen, he estimated in his heart that even if he couldn't overpower Deng Lizi, it would at least be a draw. If he were to encounter a thousand-year-old demon like Shan Gui Daxia again, he could let go and make a move. With a calm mind, Xuan Kong slowly opened the door and let Wang Qi in, asking: "What happened, why are you so anxious?"
