The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 81 The followers of the Chanjie sect enter the Netherworld

"I know, I came here to inquire about the situation in Youming, so that my senior brothers and sisters can gain the upper hand."

"Regarding the affairs of the sages of the earth, we are merely doing our best. Having an advantage is better than having none," Yuanshi said.

Fengdu nodded and said solemnly, "Earth Dao Saints are the same as Heaven Dao Saints; they can mobilize the power of the Earth Dao. Currently, the Netherworld and the Primordial World are not connected, and I don't know if there will be any changes in the future. However, the power of the Primordial World is currently suppressed in the Netherworld, and vice versa."

Therefore, the first thing to do in order to become a true saint is to relinquish one's primordial cultivation and transform it into the power of the netherworld.

Otherwise, how could one become a Saint of the Earthly Path if their own power is not even recognized by the Earthly Path?

Yuanshi frowned. If he couldn't become a saint by giving up his cultivation, wouldn't that be a loss?
"Senior Uncle, now is the perfect time. The Earthly Path is transforming into Yin attribute. As long as we arrange for Senior Brother to stay in the Netherworld for a period of time, he will be transformed along with the Earthly Path without having to abandon his cultivation."

However, after the transformation is complete, the body, primordial spirit, and even the Great Dao will be transformed into Yin attributes, and the strength will be suppressed when entering the prehistoric world.

"It's the same situation as when people from the primordial era come to the Netherworld," Fengdu said.

"Well, when we get back, your master, your senior uncle, and I will discuss the candidates."

"By the way, when will the underground passage be completed? Is Lady Pingxin here?" Yuanshi asked.

"The Goddess Pingxin helps the Earthly Path transform within the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but I don't know the exact time when the transformation will be completed," Fengdu replied.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and took out three gourds, handing them to Fengdu.

"This is a small gift from the three of us to celebrate your becoming Ziwei and Fengdu! Once you have collected all the gourds and refined them in the Qiankun Cauldron, you might obtain a supreme treasure."

"By the way, the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd contains the remnant soul of Hongyun. Let him reincarnate first. I promised Zhen Yuanzi that I would personally guide Hongyun's reincarnation onto the path of cultivation," Yuanshi said.

Fengdu didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly, then led Yuanshi Tianzun towards the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

After sending Hongyun's remaining soul into reincarnation, Yuanshi Tianzun returned to the primordial world.

First, they found Hongyun's reincarnation, brought him back to Kunlun Mountain, and taught him the Jade Purity Immortal Technique. Then, they asked the Antarctic Immortal to take care of Yun Zhongzi's cultivation.

Yuanshi then returned to Yuxu Palace and discussed the matter of the Earthly Sage with Laozi and Tongtian.

Ultimately, it was decided that Guangchengzi, Yuding, and Huanglong from the Chan Sect would go to the Netherworld. It is worth mentioning that Taishang did not send Xuandu, but gave the spot to the Chan Sect, which is how Huanglong got his spot.

Huanglong Zhenren is of dragon blood, which is quite unpopular with Yuanshi, who despises fur and scales.

However, as a sage who expounded the Way of Heaven, Tiandingyuanfa would certainly not go against his own teachings, which is why he accepted Huanglong as his disciple.

That's why he was sent to the Netherworld. It wasn't because they thought highly of him, but rather because they wanted to keep him out of sight and out of mind, sending him far away.

The Jie Sect sent Guiling Shengmu and Wudang Shengmu to the Netherworld. As for the inner disciples, it was up to their own abilities to recruit as many helpers as they could. Tongtian didn't interfere, and if they couldn't recruit any, Tongtian Sect Leader wouldn't care either.

After the group arrived in the Netherworld, they came to Fengdu City and found Fengdu.

"I believe that all of you senior brothers and sisters have also received news from your senior uncles and master that there is an opportunity here, but this opportunity is not given to you for free, so you need to do something to help the Netherworld develop," Fengdu said.

Seeing the group nod, he continued, "Fellow senior brothers and sisters, now that we've come to the Netherworld, we must abide by its rules. No matter what conflicts we had in the past, we must not maliciously target each other in the Netherworld. If there are any conflicts, we should discuss how to resolve them. Even if we can't reach an agreement, we can fight it out."

However, you mustn't make things difficult for them regarding matters of the underworld. If I find out, please don't blame me for not showing consideration for our shared sect.

As he spoke, he also exuded his saintly aura, giving the group a warning to prevent them from causing trouble by acting as disciples of a saint.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that it's too troublesome, so it's better to avoid trouble.

Although Guang Chengzi and the others knew that Zhou Chen was very strong and was recognized by the people of the prehistoric world as the number one person below the sage, they really didn't take his Dao body seriously.

But after experiencing the power of Fengdu, they were completely convinced, a feeling even stronger than what they had felt from their own masters.

Overwhelmed by the tyranny of Fengdu, the crowd could only nod in agreement.

"Well, from today onwards, my fellow disciples will be the Five Ghost Emperors of my Underworld, their authority second only to me and Lady Peace and Heart." As Fengdu spoke, five streams of light flew into the bodies of the five people.

After the authority entered their bodies, it quickly helped everyone transform into Yin attributes.

"Everyone, go to your places according to your authority!"

"Once the Netherworld has been completely transformed and Lady Pingxin emerges, I will inquire about the matter of the Earthly Saint," Fengdu said calmly.

Guang Chengzi and the others exchanged glances, bowed to Fengdu, and said, "We thank the Emperor."

Although they are senior brothers, this is the underworld, and Fengdu is their superior. They are not stupid people. Offending their superiors usually doesn't end well, even if they have powerful backers.

Who told this guy in front of them to be the most favored by the saints in the Xuanmen! Even if he is just a Dao body here, it is not a reason for them to be presumptuous. Moreover, in their eyes, Fengdu's strength, even if he has not become a saint, has reached the Hunyuan realm, which is far beyond their reach.

"Yes, go ahead and familiarize yourselves with the power of authority. Your cultivation should improve by leaps and bounds," Fengdu said, then closed his eyes to cultivate.

Although Guang Chengzi and the others didn't quite understand Fengdu's meaning, they didn't say anything and simply withdrew.

After Guang Chengzi and the others became familiar with the power, their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. This was because the power could draw upon the power of the Dao of the Netherworld. With readily available Dao principles to refer to, how could their cultivation not improve?
While diligently cultivating, he also handled affairs of the underworld and acquired many spiritual treasures. After the spiritual treasures were born, they flew directly to choose their masters.

This thrilled Huanglong, who had never possessed a magical treasure before. After refining the treasure, he immediately wore it on his body, afraid that others wouldn't see it.

In the primordial era, among the human race

With the help of Xuandu, Fuxi unified the entire human tribe and spread his innate Bagua, survival skills, and some systems throughout the human race, enabling the human race to develop rapidly.

Meanwhile, in a tribe, a fat-faced Taoist priest was answering a child's question.

"Teacher, our tribe is hunting less and less every day. If this continues, one day we won't have enough food. Is there any way to solve this problem?" the child asked.

"Since we're catching fewer and fewer prey, let's go find new food," the fat-faced Taoist replied.
