Primordial Era: I am the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, the gatekeeper of the Great Dao.

Chapter 1 Someone like you doesn't even deserve to step into the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, ethereal mists swirl and auspicious colors abound.

In front of the mountain gate stood a tall and handsome young man.

He was leisurely leaning back in the rustic rattan chair.

His eyes were deep as he looked up at the sky.

"Since the Three Pure Ones attained enlightenment and sainthood, they have opened their mountain gates to teach and enlighten all sentient beings."

"The Kunlun Mountains thus became a place that all living beings in the world longed for."

"I, Cangxuan, will never allow the tragedy of the three religions to repeat itself."

"From this day forward, I will personally oversee the Kunlun Mountain gates to select exceptionally talented and virtuous individuals for our Three Pure Ones!"

As he spoke, Cang Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his hands clenched into fists.

He unexpectedly traveled to the primordial world and took human form within the earth veins of the Kunlun Mountains.

I was fortunate enough to become a disciple of the Three Pure Ones and become the chief disciple of the Three Teachings.

After tens of thousands of years, his cultivation has reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Human teachings emphasize detachment from worldly affairs and a transcendental perspective.

The Chan sect follows the Way of Heaven and coexists with the Way.

The Jie Sect, on the other hand, opened its gates wide, teaching all without discrimination.

Just as a clear spring is easily polluted, and a beautiful jade is easily flawed.

If any unscrupulous individuals were to infiltrate, it would inevitably cause discord between the Chan and Jie schools.

Even the Three Pure Ones harbored resentment towards each other.

Therefore, Cangxuan, bearing the high expectations of the Three Pure Ones, took on the important task of guarding the gates of Kunlun Mountain.

【Ding! 】

[By sacrificing himself to protect Kunlun, Cangxuan becomes the guardian of the Great Dao. System binding in progress.]

At that very moment, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out from the depths of his consciousness.

Cang Xuan's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"In that case, my path lies in guarding the gates of Kunlun Mountain."

"Now, I finally understand myself."

[System Task Issued: Reside at the Kunlun Mountain gate for ten years, preventing any malicious individuals from intruding upon the sacred site.]

[Quest Reward: The Primordial Measuring Ruler, a treasure earned through merit!]

[Friendly reminder: Rewards will be issued automatically upon completion of the protection period.]

[If you can successfully intercept a powerful being from the primordial world during this period, you will receive an even greater reward!]

The system voice gradually faded from my mind.

Cang Xuan's eyes were filled with excitement.

The Primordial Measuring Ruler is a treasure of acquired merit, its sharpness is concealed yet its power is unparalleled.

It can further enhance the holder's fortune, and one will not incur karmic consequences even if one kills someone.

"Ten years is but a blink of an eye."

"The responsibility of guarding the gates of Kunlun Mountain is of paramount importance and cannot be neglected in the slightest."

"To ensure the safety of Kunlun Mountain, other roads leading to Kunlun Mountain must be closed."

After speaking, he moved slightly, his hands quickly forming a hand seal, and he murmured a chant.

He was at the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, possessed immense magical power, and was even a manifestation of the earth veins of Kunlun Mountain.

With a single thought, one can stir up the primordial energy across billions of miles of land, causing the laws of the earth to resonate.

Cang Xuan made a hand seal, and a power originating from the depths of the earth's veins burst forth, forming an invisible barrier.

Enveloping Kunlun Mountain, with only one mountain gate remaining as the gateway to Kunlun Mountain.

"This formation contains the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, and cannot be broken by anyone but a sage."

"I wonder who will be the first person destined to join the great formation?"

Cang Xuan leisurely lay back in the rattan chair, a smile on his lips.

···········

A place thousands of miles away.

Long-eared Dingguangxian was so excited that he couldn't calm down. He headed straight for Kunlun Mountain and sped off at full speed.

"Laozi of the Great Purity is tranquil and inactive, and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable is strict in choosing his disciples; I fear it will be difficult for him to accept me as his disciple."

"Fortunately, there was the Tongtian Sect Leader, who taught without discrimination, opened the gates of immortality wide, and accepted all spirits."

"If one can demonstrate utmost sincerity, one will surely be able to join the Jie Sect."

"Once you become a disciple of a sage, you will be able to make great strides in the primordial world."

"How dare those petty scoundrels of the past provoke me again?"

Hehehe!

Thinking of this, Chang Er Ding Guangxian couldn't help but laugh out loud, and his steps quickened even more.

In the vast and boundless primordial wilderness, the path of cultivation is long and lonely.

We must use time as our boat and perseverance as our sail.

But Chang Er Ding Guang Xian chose to take a different path.

They burned, killed, looted, cheated, and swindled—they used every means at their disposal.

With his innate talent for escaping, he plundered countless resources in the primordial wilderness.

His cultivation level rose steadily until he reached the Golden Immortal realm.

This made him a target of public criticism, tarnished his reputation, and despised by everyone.

For Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, a distance of ten thousand miles was nothing more than a moment's journey.

boom!

Boom!

Just then, a loud crash rang out.

Long-eared Dingguangxian accidentally stumbled upon the protective array of Kunlun Mountain.

A large, conspicuous bump suddenly appeared on his forehead, and he looked like a kite with a broken string.

It crashed heavily in front of the Kunlun Mountain gate, stirring up a cloud of dust and leaving a deep crater.

"Um?"

Cang Xuan raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He rose leisurely, his gaze falling upon a strangely shaped Taoist priest with rabbit ears standing before the mountain gate.

He immediately recognized him as Chang Er Ding Guangxian.

The Seven Immortals who served the Jie Sect chose to betray the Jie Sect during the Investiture of the Gods war.

In my memory, this long-eared Dingguang Immortal once held the Six Soul Banner.

However, at a crucial moment, he turned against the West and joined the Western religion, becoming the Western Buddha of Dipankara.

His unpredictable behavior, along with his future Buddhist name, indicates that he is not a good person.

"What happened?"

At the same time, the void rippled, and a figure descended before the mountain gate.

The visitor was none other than the White Crane Boy, a disciple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

"You've come, White Crane."

Cang Xuan nodded slightly, then waved his hand, and a burst of magic power struck Chang Er Ding Guang Xian in the chest.

His body trembled, and he immediately coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

In Cangxuan's eyes, his fate was sealed the moment Chang'er Dingguangxian stepped into Kunlun.

"Unauthorized trespassing on the sacred grounds of a sage is punishable regardless of the reason. Do you know your crime?"

Cang Xuan's expression was calm, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

"It's a misunderstanding! This humble Taoist priest truly meant no harm!"

Upon hearing this, Chang Er Ding Guangxian's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly struggled to his feet and feigned an innocent look.

"My journey here is truly driven by a sincere desire to follow the Tao and seek enlightenment through the Xuanmen (Taoist school)."

"I never expected to be misunderstood at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and to be seriously injured by my fellow Daoist."

His tone was tinged with fear and grievance, and his eyes flickered.

He was filled with doubt and apprehension, fearing that his past misdeeds would be discovered.

Despite the raging anger surging within him, reason told him that the other party might be connected to the Tongtian Sect Leader, and he could not act rashly.

He could only suppress his anger.

Despite the raging anger surging within him, reason told him that the other party might be connected to the Tongtian Sect Leader, and he could not act rashly.

He could only suppress his anger.

"I am here by the mandate of the Sage to guard the gates of Kunlun Mountain. How can I allow such a despicable person as you to defile the Xuanmen!"

Then, Cang Xuan turned to the White Crane Boy and instructed him:

"White Crane, use the Jade Purity Technique to reach the Heavenly Court and thoroughly investigate all of this person's past misdeeds!"

"With treacherous intentions and heavy karmic burdens, how could your actions possibly escape my notice?"

After speaking, Cang Xuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he unleashed his innate divine eye.

A mysterious power surged from his eyes, transforming into two beams of divine light that shot directly toward Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.

As a direct disciple of the Three Pure Ones, he also cultivates the Taoist practices of the Three Pure Ones.

It can not only see into people's hearts, but also distinguish between good and evil, and expose all falsehoods and sins in the world.

The long-eared Dingguang Xian was surrounded by a thick, bloody aura, the indelible mark of his countless past crimes.

"You ignorant brat, how dare you be so rude to me!"

Long-eared Dingguangxian gritted his teeth, his fierce gaze revealing his intent to devour Cangxuan alive.

"I am destined to become a prized disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master. What right do you, a mere gatekeeper, have to point fingers at me?"

"Apologize to me immediately, or when I see the cult leader, I will report everything you've done and let him punish you!"

His words were full of threat, as if Cang Xuan were nothing more than an ant beneath his feet.

"You truly have admirable courage!"

Cang Xuan sneered, his smile filled with disdain.

"In just a thousand years, you have raped tens of thousands of female immortals, using cultivation as a pretext to commit massacres, and countless lives have been slaughtered because of you."

"Not only do they show no remorse, but they also dare to spout nonsense and insult the second-generation leader of the Xuanmen sect. Such evil deeds are intolerable to Heaven!"

"Junior Brother Baihe, today we will act on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice and restore the prestige of the Xuanmen!"

After some deduction, the White Crane Boy discovered that the Long-Eared Light-Fixing Immortal had committed numerous evil deeds.

Bullying the weak and attempting to infiltrate the Xuanmen sect through despicable means is simply wishful thinking!

He also wanted to become a disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master.

Does he even deserve it?

The White Crane Boy unleashed his aura as a peak Golden Immortal, surrounded by a faint celestial light.

Prepare to punish the Long-Eared Immortal.
