Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 4 Entering Jin Ao to meet the second generation disciple of Jie Jiao

During his eighty years of seclusion, Su Shao Chen's cultivation at the mid-level of Earth Immortal was stabilized, and he was only one step away from reaching the high-level Earth Immortal, or even the peak of Earth Immortal.

This tribulation gave Su Shao Chen a deeper understanding of his own path.

Even his later attainment of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit was extraordinary.

There are only 120 years left until the sect leader preaches. With Su Shao Chen's current understanding of the Dao, he is confident that he can reach the peak of the Earth Immortal realm within 100 years!

Thinking of this, Su Shao Chen got up to pay his respects to his masters. The Hunyuan Shield bestowed upon him by his masters had been of great help to him.

Without the Hunyuan Shield, this tribulation would have been much more difficult, given my obvious weakness in defensive magic weapons.

When he was wielding magic power, Su Shao Chen truly felt the difference between immortals and mortals. Now, as an Earth Immortal, he was much faster than before when wielding magic!

Just as Su Shao Chen went to see his master, Yuan Yuan peeked out from a small bamboo hut next to the Seven Curves Hall, looking at Su Shao Chen who was leaving with his magic power, and showed a human-like disdain.

It is the pride of the Iron-Eating Beast clan! Yuan Yuan had already transcended the tribulation to become an Earth Immortal thirty years before Su Shao Chen went into seclusion to undergo his tribulation.

However, at that time, the masters were afraid of disturbing Su Shao Chen, so they sent Yuan Yuan to another place to undergo her tribulation.

It is currently at the peak of the initial stage of Earth Immortal, and will soon break through to the middle stage of Earth Immortal, while its master has only recently attained the Earth Immortal realm, so naturally it cannot compare to it!

The thought that it was even more powerful than its master filled Yuanyuan with joy, as if she had eaten a sweet and delicious bamboo.

If Su Shao Chen knew what Yuan Yuan was thinking right now, he would probably get a big beating, since he, Su Shao Chen, is a mid-level Earth Immortal!

Only Master Yunxiao was present in the Sanxiao Palace. Master Qiongxiao had been at the high level of the Daluo Golden Immortal for several years. When Su Shaochen was undergoing the Earth Immortal Tribulation, there were faint signs of a breakthrough. So she went into seclusion before watching Su Shaochen's tribulation.

Furthermore, the time for the sect leader to preach is approaching soon. If Qiongxiao can break through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, her cultivation will be more stable with the sect leader's sermon.

Master Bixiao has also gone into seclusion. Among the Three Immortals, Master Bixiao has the lowest cultivation level, currently only at the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and has been stuck at the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for tens of thousands of years.

This sermon by the sect leader is an opportunity for Master Bixiao. Master Bixiao is currently in seclusion to study the Dao, so only Master Yunxiao is present.

Master Yunxiao has accumulated profound knowledge at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, but whether he can sever his corpse depends on fate and opportunity, so Master Yunxiao has not gone into seclusion.

"With a solid foundation and a stable realm, the path to becoming a celestial immortal is not far off." Yunxiao's voice was calm and clear, like that of a celestial saint from the heavens, leaving no room for any thoughts.

"I owe my current cultivation level to Master's guidance. Without Master's bestowal of treasures, my tribulation would not have been so smooth," Su Shao Chen said respectfully.

"As the Master is about to give his sermon, Shao Chen should reflect on his own path. You deserve a place among the third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect. Take this opportunity to pay your respects to your teacher during the sermon." Yunxiao was naturally satisfied with his sensible and hardworking disciple.

Seeing Su Shao Chen's cultivation at the mid-stage of Earth Immortal, she thought of Huo Ling, the disciple of Senior Brother Duo Bao. She had seen Huo Ling not long ago and it seemed that Huo Ling had already reached the Profound Immortal realm.

Shao Chen has only just begun his cultivation; there is still a long way to go…

After reporting his cultivation level to Master Yunxiao, the master also explained the Heavenly Immortal Path, the True Immortal Path, the Profound Immortal Path, and the Golden Immortal Path to him.

This also gave Su Shao Chen a deeper understanding of his future realm.

The Earth Immortal Realm and the Heaven Immortal Realm are quite similar; both involve knowing the path one is cultivating.

The Earth Immortal Path, after the Dao Ancestor's three lectures and further refined by the Earth Immortal Ancestor Zhenyuan Daxian, has become an extremely important part of the cultivation of Earth Immortals among all living beings in the primordial world.

Furthermore, the human race has not yet established a martial arts system, and there is no dedicated realm for humans called "Human Immortal".

Therefore, human immortals, earth immortals, and heavenly immortals are basically all immortals at the same level, but there are differences among immortals, and their understanding of the Dao also varies.

Both the True Immortal Realm and the Profound Immortal Realm involve understanding the path one cultivates and comprehending the method one practices.

The Golden Immortal must establish the direction of his future path and establish his own understanding of the Dao within himself.

The higher-level Taiyi Golden Immortals have made significant progress in the Dao, while the Daluo Golden Immortals have condensed the Daluo Dao Fruit...

Take Su Shao Chen as an example. If he wants to become a Golden Immortal, establish the Primordial Literary Dao, and completely become the Literary Star Lord, he must at least establish a Dao and make the Primordial Literary Dao his own.

Of course, there is another way, which is for the Primordial Heavenly Dao to directly recognize Su Shao Chen and appoint him as the Wenqu Star Lord.

Gaining the approval of the Primordial Heavenly Dao is very difficult, unless one performs great deeds, makes special contributions to the Primordial Literature Dao, or opens up new paths...

These were all things that Su Shao Chen asked his master after his sermon ended, and his master told him.

To gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao, one must make special contributions to a path or open up new avenues. Su Shao Chen is adept at this. It may be difficult for others, but it is not difficult for Su Shao Chen at all!

…………

Time flies, twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and only one hundred years have passed since the sage began his teachings.

During the twenty years that his master taught him, Su Shao Chen's cultivation level reached the high-level Earth Immortal stage, and he was only one step away from the peak of Earth Immortal.

Even a pig could benefit greatly from listening to a lecture given by a peak-level Golden Immortal, let alone someone as insightful as Su Shao Chen.

Upon returning to the Seven Curves Palace, Su Shao Chen saw Yuan Yuan, who had already reached the mid-stage of Earth Immortal. He praised the silly bear, played with Yuan Yuan for a while, and then continued his seclusion.

The round, somewhat silly bear head was stunned when it sensed the aura of a high-level Earth Immortal on its master. It even felt that its brain was not quite up to par.

This is unreasonable, this is irrational...

Nearly a century passed quietly while Su Shao Chen was in seclusion.

As Su Shao Chen circulated the Shangqing Immortal Technique, his original aura as a high-level Earth Immortal surged, and his aura reached its peak.

With a "boom", Su Shao Chen's aura, which was originally at the high level of Earth Immortal, broke through to the peak of Earth Immortal.

Su Shao Chen was confident that he would be promoted to Celestial Immortal or even higher during this sage's sermon!

…………

After Su Shao Chen stabilized his cultivation, a Daoist aura also emanated from the Three Immortal Islands.

It was Master Yunxiao who informed the beings of the Three Immortal Islands that while they were not on the islands, they should guard them well, and that Su Shao Chen should come to the Three Immortal Palace as soon as possible.

Upon hearing his master's voice, Su Shao Chen stood up and transformed into a streak of light, heading towards the Sanxiao Palace.

Su Shao Chen was very much looking forward to this lecture, after all, Jin'ao Island was the Daoist temple of the Sage Tongtian and the foundation of the Jie Sect. The Daoist charm and rich innate spiritual energy there were absolutely incomparable to anything outside.

For a sage to preach the Dao is a rare and precious event, even for a Great Luo Immortal or a Quasi-Sage. How much more so for a mere Earth Immortal like myself, it's as if an overwhelming opportunity has fallen right at my feet.

"Let's go, Shao Chen, Master will take you to listen to the sage's sermon." Bi Xiao also came out of seclusion at this time. She saw Su Shao Chen coming over and said with a smile, with a silvery laugh that affected the entire Sanxiao Palace.

"Yes!" Su Shao Chen obediently accepted the order.

This time, Master Qiongxiao must have broken through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Su Shao Chen could vaguely sense the terrifying aura emanating from Master Qiongxiao.

Master Bixiao remained completely calm, revealing nothing to Su Shao Chen. He probably hadn't broken through yet, but he must have cultivated his skills to a terrifying level at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Based on what he had seen in his previous life, Su Shao Chen guessed that his three masters should have no problem breaking through to the high-level of the Great Luo Golden Immortal after hearing the sage preach this time.

Once everyone had arrived, the Three Immortals used their magic to transform into a streak of light and headed straight for Golden Turtle Island.

Under his master's protection, Su Shao Chen could clearly feel the terror of the Great Luo power!

The Three Immortal Islands are not far from the Golden Turtle Island. It only took a few months and three nights to reach the territory of the Golden Turtle Island and land outside the sage's place.

A gentle voice rang out among the disciples of the Jie Sect, "It's been several years since I last saw you, my elder sister. Your cultivation has advanced even further. It seems you've gained some new insights, which even I, your elder brother, find quite admirable."
