Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 103 The Great Luo Heavenly Tribulation: A Visit to the West!

In the Shangqing Palace, Tongtian sighed as he watched Zhao Gongming's series of actions.

Those disciples, he only recruited them a few days ago, and they are all people with firm Dao hearts. If they are properly nurtured, perhaps a few of them will become Great Luo Golden Immortals in the future.

But now, he has been expelled from the mountain by his own eldest disciple, all his hard work has been in vain, and even Tongtian feels a little heartache.

"Never mind, never mind, let it be."

Tongtian waved his hand and closed his eyes; he trusted his eldest disciple.

The establishment of sect rules will ultimately be of no benefit whatsoever to the disciples of the Shangqing lineage.

At this moment, on the territory of the Yuqing lineage disciples, the Twelve Golden Immortals gathered together, discussing the Dao and chatting, occasionally glancing in the direction of Shangqing Palace.

"Have you all heard? I heard that our senior uncle, who is a disciple of the Shangqing lineage, is implementing some kind of strict sect rules, and people die or perish at the drop of a hat."

"Yes, yes, I heard that too. It seems they've even formed an enforcement team to patrol the mountains and enforce the law. There are about thirty or forty people in total, which is quite a large team."

"Besides these, it seems that the senior disciple of the Shangqing lineage, Zhao Gongming, also personally killed several disciples who were unwilling to leave the mountain."

Among the immortals of Kunlun, Guang Chengzi, dressed in a light yellow Taoist robe, with a handsome face, stood with his hands behind his back. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"We cultivators pursue the supreme Dao and roam freely between heaven and earth. How could we be willing to be bound by those rules? I think Zhao Gongming has lost his mind to formulate those sect rules and form those enforcement teams. It's a complete waste of effort and utter nonsense."

As Guang Chengzi spoke, the other disciples echoed his sentiments.

In the Jade Purity Palace, above the auspicious clouds of the heavens, the Primordial Lord sat cross-legged, expressionless.

He exuded an aura of vastness and immensity.

He looked in the direction of Shangqing Palace, gave a slight hum, and looked somewhat displeased.

"Instead of focusing on improving their cultivation, they waste countless hours on these sect rules and enforcement teams. It's putting the cart before the horse! And Tongtian doesn't even care—it's utterly ridiculous!"

In the Shangqing Palace, Taiqing Laozi sat on a black and white futon, his face showing complete indifference.

"Enforcement team, please refer to the Qing Dynasty's rules?"

He cultivates the Great Dao of Non-Action, and with the Taiqing lineage, he currently has no disciples and doesn't care about these things.

Those seven words vanished from his mind almost in the blink of an eye.

At Shangqing Square, Zhao Gongming had each Shangqing disciple carefully review the sect rules before letting them disperse.

After the disciples dispersed, Daoist Duobao walked up with a puzzled look on his face, pointing at the three white jade tablets with doubt in his eyes.

"Senior Brother, didn't we also come up with over a hundred other minor rules? Why weren't they released all at once?"

Zhao Gongming then spoke to Duobao Daoren about the principle of boiling a frog in lukewarm water.

"Things that cannot be accomplished overnight need to be done in multiple steps. Today, we have made an example of a dozen disciples, which is enough to make them respect the rules of the sect. If we release the rest all at once, their respect will dissipate, and they will become rebellious, which will be even more detrimental to the implementation of the rules of the sect."

"I see."

Daoist Duobao suddenly realized and couldn't help but sigh, "Eldest Brother, it still has to be the Eldest Brother."

After seeing off Daoist Duobao, Zhao Gongming came to Jin Gu Xian and the others.

"The enforcement team has two tasks: first, to enforce the law, and second, to patrol the mountain. Later, I will select a palace for you in the back mountain as your office."

"During the work, two shifts are carried out. One team is responsible for patrolling the mountain, while the other team is stationed in the Enforcement Hall. The patrol team members are assigned one hour each in the morning, noon, and evening, for a total of three hours. The rest of the time can be used freely. The team stationed in the Enforcement Hall must be on duty all day and must not make any mistakes."

"We understand."

Upon hearing this, the Golden Hoop Immortal nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, agreeing to follow his senior brother's arrangement.

They don't work long hours, and they work in shifts, so they still have plenty of time to cultivate themselves.

Zhao Gongming paused for a moment, then added, "Any disciple of the Enforcement Team who reaches the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and, after sufficient time of cultivation, wishes to attempt to break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, may voluntarily leave the Enforcement Team. After a certain number of years, they will also receive a share of the resources needed to break through to the Daluo Golden Immortal realm."

Hearing this, the Golden Hoop Immortal became even more excited. Such treatment and so many resources were truly unparalleled.

"Golden Hoop Immortal, on behalf of the disciples of the Enforcement Team, thanks Senior Brother."

After handling a series of matters involving the law enforcement team, etc.

With a sudden thought, Zhao Gongming returned to his own Taoist temple to cultivate, laying the most solid foundation for his attainment of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The Five Elements converge at the origin, which is the realm of the Golden Immortal.

Condensing the three flowers at the top of one's head is the realm of the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

When the three flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man bloom at the top, it is the realm of the Great Golden Immortal.

The Golden Immortal, or Taiyi Golden Immortal, is a process of comprehending the Dao of Heaven, accumulating magical power, and understanding the power of laws.

It is the most crucial step for cultivators before they can attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

After you attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, your strength largely depends on whether you spent enough time cultivating yourself during your Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal stages.

In the primordial world, there were many cultivators who remained at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, without daring to break through.

Aside from the fear that failing to overcome the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation would mean never having the chance to attain Great Luo status again.

He wanted to accumulate more resources so that he could become even stronger after attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

All resources in the world are finite; without them, there would be no limits, and powerful beings would be born at will.

Sooner or later, the entire world will be unable to withstand it, and thus a celestial calamity will occur.

The heavenly calamity descended, and all things perished!

The Great Luo Golden Immortal possesses an immortal golden essence. By comprehending the power of the laws and condensing the Great Luo Undying Dao Fruit, one can be considered an immortal being who lives forever.

Such an existence is not beneficial to the world or the heavens and earth; on the contrary, it is like a termite.

Therefore, whenever a cultivator tries to defy the heavens and attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, a heavenly tribulation will descend.

If you can get through it, it's equivalent to passing the test of heaven and earth and successfully becoming a Great Immortal.

If one cannot cross over, then naturally one will die and one's spirit will return to heaven and earth.

Of course, what is a major problem for ordinary cultivators is nothing to Zhao Gongming.

Zhao Gongming's foundation, after transformation, became the foundation of the Void Wind. This top-level innate foundation has one major advantage.

It allows cultivators to pass the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation without danger, with a 100% chance of attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Once one cultivates to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal and comprehends one-tenth of the power of laws, one can directly undergo tribulation, essentially going through a formality, and then attain the Dao of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Of course, Zhao Gongming wasn't that unambitious; he wanted to calm down and accumulate magical power as much as possible.

When I attain enlightenment in the future, I will strive to maximize the potential of my top-tier innate talent!

He has now comprehended seven-tenths of the power of spatial laws, and is three-tenths short of reaching the threshold of becoming a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Such speed is extremely terrifying in the entire prehistoric world.

Inside the cave, Zhao Gongming began his seclusion again. Time flew by, and three thousand years passed like flowing water.

Over three thousand years, Zhao Gongming painstakingly comprehended the power of the spatial laws, increasing it from seven parts to nine parts, a significant improvement.

In addition, Zhao Gongming went out three times during these three thousand years.

They all allowed that Golden Hoop Immortal to add some minor rules to the three main rules of Shangqing Square.

After three sessions, all the sect rules were engraved on it, which invisibly intimidated all the disciples of the Shangqing lineage.

In the vast, primordial land, in the west, after the Dragon-Han Calamity and the end of the conflict between the Dao and the Demons.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu, along with Hongjun, Yangmei, Yin Yang, and Qiankun, engaged in a fierce battle on Mount Sumeru, shattering the Western spiritual veins.

The primordial land, with Mount Buzhou as its ancestral vein, connects the four major spiritual veins of the east, west, south, and north.

It continuously supplies the purest innate spiritual energy to the four locations.

However, since the conflict between the Dao and the Demon, the spiritual veins of the West have been broken, and the West can no longer enjoy the innate spiritual energy supplied by Mount Buzhou, the pillar of heaven.

They could only survive on the spiritual energy that dissipated from the east, south, and north, and their environment deteriorated drastically.

Mount Sumeru, the highest peak in the west, is located beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

Zhunti and Jieyin sat cross-legged on it, sighing repeatedly, their faces full of worry and distress.

"Senior brother, several thousand years have passed since the sage finished preaching. Have you comprehended the sage's teachings?"

Zhunti asked the question, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Jieyin's face was even more tearful than Zhunti's, and he kept sighing, "The path to sainthood is not so easy to understand. I, your brother, have gained nothing so far. It's difficult."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti was overcome with grief and burst into tears.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult, too difficult! Our Western spiritual veins are shattered, and our senior brother's path to sainthood is unclear. It's truly heaven's will to destroy our West!"

At the foot of Mount Sumeru is the sacred site of Bhaisajyaguru, Maitreya, Ksitigarbha, Mahasthamaprapta, and others.

Upon entering the venue, the four listened to the painful cries coming from their uncle on Mount Sumeru and sighed in unison.

Suddenly, Zhunti sighed and said, "Senior brother, the Three Pure Ones are also listening to lectures in the Chaos. I wonder if they have attained enlightenment. We're just idling around on Mount Sumeru anyway, why don't we go and find out what they're up to? And while we're at it, let's spread our wondrous Western Dharma?"

Upon hearing this, Jieyin's eyes lit up. "Your idea is quite good. The Three Pure Ones are the most deeply hidden. Let's probe their strength first."

Zhunti coughed, "But if we continue like this, we might be too hasty. Why don't we go under the guise of discussing the Dao with our disciples?"

Jieyin nodded slightly, "Alright, let's do as you say, junior brother."

Immediately, Zhunti Jieyin summoned his four disciples to the mountain.

"We pay our respects to our Master and Uncle-Master."

The Medicine Buddha, accompanied by Maitreya, Mahasthamaprapta, and Ksitigarbha, bowed to Cundi and Jieyin.

"I am going to take you to Kunlun in the East to discuss the Dao. This is the core thought of the Three Thousand Great Dao of the Eastern Xuanmen lineage. Take it and study it carefully."

As the voice of Zhunti and Jieyin faded, the four pharmacists each carried a small booklet.

Since the end of the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, Zhunti and Jieyin have returned to the West and have not studied the three thousand great Daos of Xuanmen.

Instead, he took a different path, becoming obsessed with the eight hundred unorthodox sects beyond the three thousand great paths.

Therefore, gradually, the cultivation methods of the two individuals diverged significantly from those of the orthodox Xuanmen (Taoist school).
