Chapter 26

Seeing off a friend for a thousand miles, there will eventually be a parting.

Everyone stayed together in Yunmeng Marsh for another hundred years, but in the end they all left.

Fuxi and Nüwa first returned to Phoenix Perch Mountain to go into seclusion and sort out this harvest.

He also wanted to go back and see if there were any changes to his Dao Chang.

They have already stayed in Yunmeng Marsh for nearly two aeons.

Going to Yunmeng Marsh this time, although there is risk, they also feel it was not in vain.

He summoned his mount, the white ox, to guard the mountain gate during his seclusion.

The fire poison of the Sun Star also needs to be suppressed and released; they can no longer stay long on the Primordial Continent.

Most innate divinities do not value these things, but they are actually rare treasures under heaven.

With the passage of time, the fierce feeling on the primordial spirit gradually faded, becoming peaceful.

And Qi beneath the water pool, unaware of this, still wholeheartedly eliminates the hidden danger of malicious energy clinging to the primordial spirit.

The white ox sighed, but there are so many immortal herbs; he must strive diligently.

Saying it, doing it; the white ox transformed into human form, although it is a human shape, it is actually just a cow with hands and two feet standing.

The white ox's cunning little thoughts are well hidden; they have never been shown.

"As long as the growth is good, stealing a few stalks should be no problem; the master won't notice."

Qi still needs to tidy up Yunmeng Marsh after this great disaster.

My white fur is so beautiful; keep it.

A little bit of sorting, starting from the discussion of the Dao with Taiyi and others.

In this great calamity, he also experienced much, and likewise reaped abundantly.

Under the lotus pond is a string of prayer beads; the beads separate the threefold divine water in the pond, forming a narrow space.

He bestowed some auspicious immortal herbs; after understanding them in cultivation, he sent them back.

Again he pretended to casually lick it, licking away the spiritual dew that lingered each morning.

There, Taiyi can obtain better recovery and recuperation.

But it is the proper path of the divine way, the Supreme God Taiyi!

After Qi went into seclusion, the ox first obediently stayed by the pond for a few years.

Spiritual treasures hovered beside Qi, faint spiritual light shining upon him.

The primordial spirit manifested, the fierce feeling surrounding the space.

From time to time he dove into the pond water, sniffing the scent of each spiritual root.

By the water he glanced at his reflection; the ox was very satisfied.

Thanks to the advantage of the Purifying Dao, the ferocity cultivated during the great calamity was eliminated one by one, and the aura of the primordial spirit became even more peaceful.

He also warned them not to disturb him when there was nothing going on.

The Primordial Era does not record years and months; time flows like a white colt passing a gap.

He needed to let his state of mind settle again.

He then went off enthusiastically to plant immortal herbs.

Also, while Yangmei was lecturing on the Dao, he gained an opportunity; when the apparition of heavenly maidens scattering flowers appeared, he received several spiritual flowers, and later returned to the innate.

"Now that the master is in seclusion, there are so many immortal herbs on the surrounding mountains with no one to tend them; I must take up these tasks."

Over thirty kinds of spiritual-root lotus flowers, ten more than before constructing the grand formation.

Stealing spiritual roots, the ox dare not; but the spiritual dew that the master doesn't mind, which would dissipate anyway, might as well be given to the ox to eat.

Not long after Fuxi and Nüwa left, Di Jun Taiyi also proposed to depart.

The white ox is very pleased with his concealment; he has never been discovered.

These spiritual dews are attracted by the spiritual roots, gathering the essence of water between heaven and earth.

After completing his merit, Qi began to sort out his gains from this great calamity in Yunmeng Marsh.

Qi's snake tail swayed as he stepped into it.

After speaking, he then left Yunmeng Marsh.

Should we start over and go through it again?

The extreme activity of the heart-mind also caused the primordial spirit to show fatigue.

These three tails can also be used to drive away mosquitoes; keep them.

Yet none were collected; they were all wasted.

Regarding the changes in formations exchanged with Fuxi, and the shortcomings of formations when fighting fierce beasts, are there ways to improve?

He fell into seclusion again.

They have wandered the Primordial Era for too long; since the crisis in Yunmeng Marsh has been resolved, they should also return to the Sun Star to seclude and cultivate for a period.

To the strange beasts of heaven and earth, it is also a rare delicacy, and it has an enhancing effect on the accumulation of cultivation.

Seeing the lotus pond refilled with spiritual roots, Qi smiled with satisfaction.

The Supreme God Taiyi spoken of by Yangmei, the Dao of God Luo Tianzun—compared to my current self, have I taken the wrong path?

Moreover, during this journey through the Primordial Era they experienced many things, gained much, and also need to return to sort it out.

Everyone received rewards, and happily returned to their own clans to digest the gains from this great calamity.

Qi again acted to close the grand formation, retrieving his various spiritual treasures and spiritual roots.

The Great Horn shot up into the sky, muscles bulging all over.

Qi first gathered the various clans of Yunmeng Marsh, telling them the great disaster had passed and they could return to the lives they wanted.

Seeing the white ox nod in agreement, Qi then felt at ease to return to seclusion.

He didn't realize that, as long as he revealed it, he could openly go and eat it.

One of them had long stayed in the Lotus Pond, evolving into a spiritual root on its own.

The other nine also, during the exposition of the Dao, gained opportunity and fortuitously became spiritual roots; although they were postnatally evolved, they were still rare treasures.

It was also time to return to the Phoenix Perch Mountain Dao Chang and enter closed-door cultivation for a while.

If Qi has the desire to go out, welcome to gather at Phoenix Perch Mountain.

Keep watch over the spiritual root. Do not let it be lost, and certainly do not sneak out to play.

Also inform Qi that, before this great calamity ends, he should not go out traveling again.

Qi entered the Lotus Pond, revealed his true form, made no movement, and sank to the bottom.

Finally, he transformed into human form, becoming a white-haired burly man with ox horns, an ox nose, and three ox tails.

After the four departed, Qi felt that Cloud Dream Marsh suddenly became empty, and for a moment he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Taiyi and they returned to closed-door cultivation, but Qi could not yet.

His spiritual power lay still all over, while his mind and spirit became extremely active.

Qi also awoke from stillness, turning his body within the space at the pond's bottom.

Bit by bit, he sorted out all his insights.

For ordinary beings, it is a rare treasure, having the effect of washing the tendons and purifying the marrow.

The prayer beads scattered, expanding the space somewhat, then gathered again in Qi's hands.

Taiyi also needed to return to the origin on the Sun Star; that was their Dao Chang and also their place of nurture.

After confirming that Qi would not come out, he began to actively jump about everywhere.

During this period the pressure was too great, and he also indulged somewhat; he needed to enter closed-door cultivation to organize his gains while restraining his wandering mind and heart.

The snake tail coiled, leaving a place for the body to lean on; Qi closed his eyes and began closed-door cultivation.

When the time came to leave seclusion, Qi was still the Great One, but no longer the Taiyi Golden Immortal spoken of by Hongjun.

The white ox had been eyeing it for a long time, discovering that the lord paid no heed, and much spiritual dew vanished into the air with the rising sun.

Having said all this, Qi could only set aside his reluctance and bid farewell to the two.

He did not know that the others were the same, all feeling that life had suddenly grown quiet.

These ox horns are so mighty, keep them.
