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

Chapter 3 Enlightenment Tea Tree, Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique!

"With this treasure, even when facing those powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortals, I will have a much better chance of winning!"

Cang Xuan was very satisfied and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately calmed his mind.

He fully activated his divine sense to establish a connection with the Primordial Measuring Ruler.

To fully control this treasure of acquired merit and maximize its power...

It requires a long period of refinement and adjustment.

【Ding!】

[System Mission: Guard the gates of Kunlun Mountain for a century; those with ill intentions are forbidden from entering. This mission tests and enlightens those destined to enter.]

[Quest Rewards: Chaotic Spiritual Root Enlightenment Tea Tree, Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique!]

[If you can stop a powerful being from the primordial era, you will receive an additional reward.]

"The rewards for this mission are incredibly generous?"

"The Enlightenment Tea Tree originates from the primordial spirit root; every leaf contains the profound truths of the Great Dao!"

"Although the Taoist magic of the Three Pure Ones is powerful, there is still something left unsaid."

"If given the opportunity, one might cultivate the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique and perhaps, like the Great God Pangu, prove the Dao through force!"

However, despite his excitement, Cang Xuan quickly regained his composure.

"This system mission is a bit different. Not only do we have to stop those with ill intentions, but we also have to test and enlighten those who are destined to be with us."

"But these are minor issues for me."

Cang Xuan took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

As a transmigrator, Cang Xuan naturally had a thorough understanding of the many opportunities in the prehistoric world.

Moreover, he possesses the innate divine power of the Heavenly Eye, which allows him to perceive all things in the world.

"Senior brother, may I ask if this is the Kunlun Immortal Mountain?"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the Kunlun Mountain gate.

This person has a resolute face, and his every move exudes an extraordinary temperament.

"That's right. May I ask who you are?"

Cang Xuan revealed a warm smile, looking at the other person with gentle eyes.

This person's cultivation level is still at the initial stage of True Immortal, but his aura is extremely strong.

A mysterious force of rules surrounded him.

It resembles a line of cause and effect, but its form is not fully revealed.

"I am Xuandu. I am fortunate to have been enlightened by the Sage Taiqing. I have come from the shores of the East Sea and wish to become his disciple."

"Senior brother, could you do me the favor and let me in to pay my respects to the Supreme Saint?"

Xuan Du gave a slight bow and spoke slowly.

In the past, at Shouyang Mountain, Xuandu should have become a disciple of the Taiqing Sage.

However, Xuandu had lofty aspirations and wanted to prove his sincerity in seeking the Dao through his own efforts.

In addition, because he cared deeply for the human race, he first returned to the human valley to inform Suiren of everything.

Then he embarked on the path of seeking the Way, living up to the expectations of the sages and fulfilling his own heart's desires.

Along the way, the demon race ravaged the land, and danger lurked everywhere.

Fortunately, Xuandu was blessed with good fortune, which enabled him to turn danger into safety and arrive here safely.

"Oh? It's you!"

"No wonder there are threads of cause and effect wrapped around his body; it was all preordained."

"But you cannot enter now."

A look of realization flashed across Cang Xuan's eyes, and then he sighed.

For humanity to become the protagonist of the primordial world, it must endure countless tribulations.

In the future, the demon race would slaughter the human race in order to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword.

At that time, the heavens and earth will change color, and the cries of humanity will resound throughout the world.

If Xuandu were to join the Xuanmen sect now, he would surely become a direct disciple of Taiqing Laozi.

When humanity faces a great calamity, no matter what choices we make, we will inevitably be tainted by karmic consequences.

At best, it will hinder one's cultivation and cause one to stagnate.

In severe cases, it may trigger a heavenly tribulation, endangering one's life and spiritual path.

Furthermore, the People's Education Press will also be drawn into the conflict as a result.

Upon hearing this, Xuandu's expression immediately turned serious.

"Senior brother, Xuandu has been enlightened by the sage and is wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao. He only wishes to become a disciple of the sage in order to seek the ultimate truth of the Great Dao."

"Now that you're blocking me from entering, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation?"

Xuan Du tried his best to calm his inner turmoil, and although he tried to keep his voice steady, he could not hide the slight tremor in it.

He looked directly at Cang Xuan, hoping to get an answer from him.

I understand how you feel.

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Seeing this, Cang Xuan sighed.

He stood up and walked to Xuandu.

"As a human, it is your destiny to become a disciple of the Sage Taiqing, and I will not stand in your way."

"But before you make this decision, I want to ask you a question."

"If one day humanity faces a great calamity, what choice will you make?"

"If Master Taiqing and I both intervene, will you still hold fast to your principles?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du remained silent for a moment, a resolute glint flashing in his eyes.

"I, Xuandu, though my heart yearns for the Great Dao, was born and raised by the human race."

"If humanity is in trouble, I will do everything in my power to protect my people."

Xuan Du's words were powerful and resonant, each word seemingly bursting forth from the depths of his heart.

Cang Xuan looked at Xuan Du, feeling a surge of relief in his heart.

"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that."

He gently patted Xuan Du on the shoulder.

"Now, you are presented with two different choices."

"Firstly, sever the karmic ties with the human race and devote oneself to cultivation."

"Secondly, I will do my best to plead with Master Taiqing on your behalf, so that the Human Sect and the human race can establish a closer relationship."

So, which one do you choose?

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du's expression became extremely solemn, and he fell into deep thought.

"Master Taiqing?"

A moment later, Xuan Du suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes were filled with astonishment, which then turned into realization.

"So, you are actually a disciple of the Sage Taiqing!"

He had assumed that Cang Xuan was merely a gatekeeper disciple of Kunlun Mountain.

I never expected that the other party would be a disciple of the Sage Taiqing.

This sudden news left him in a state of confusion.

"Could it be that my inability to enter Kunlun Mountain is the will of the Sage Taiqing?"

Xuan Du pondered to himself, a strange sense of powerlessness creeping into his heart.

All one’s efforts and determination seem insignificant in the face of a sage.

Why do you look so gloomy?

Cang Xuan looked at Xuan Du's expression of utter disbelief and couldn't help but laugh.

"I am the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones and the second-generation head of the Xuanmen sect."

You haven't answered my question yet.

Upon hearing this, the confusion and helplessness in Xuan Du's eyes gradually faded.

He took a deep breath and said firmly, "I, Xuandu, will do my utmost to protect the human race, regardless of whether I become a disciple of the Taiqing Saint."

"May those who disobey be struck down by heaven and earth!"

Xuandu's voice echoed through the Kunlun Mountains.

"I never imagined you had such courage."

"As the senior disciple, how can I stand idly by?"

"Let's go, follow me to Taiqing Palace to pay our respects to our three masters!"

Cang Xuan stepped forward and gave Xuan Du a high five as a pledge.

The human race is destined to be the protagonist of the future primordial world.

If the Human Religion can become the backbone of humanity, then the prosperity of humanity will be just around the corner.

"Is what you say true, senior brother?"

"Could it be that everything that just happened was a test from my senior brother?"

Xuan Du's eyes widened, his gaze filled with both astonishment and relief.

As my thoughts raced, a sudden clarity dawned on me.

"It seems you already have the answer in your heart."

"Even if you choose to sever your ties with the human race, I will respect your decision and will not prevent you from entering Kunlun Mountain."

"But this might make your spiritual practice much more difficult."

"Now, I am willing to work with you to persuade Master Taiqing."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du felt a surge of warmth in his heart, his eyes filled with reverence and gratitude.

He then nodded emphatically.

Following closely in Cangxuan's footsteps, we headed towards the summit of Kunlun Mountain.

A moment later.

The Taiqing Palace was magnificent and exuded endless auspiciousness and holiness.
