Primordial Era: I Became a Disciple of the Shangqing Sect After Being Become a Disciple of the Jie S

After listening to the words of Yuqing Yuanshi Daoren and Shangqing Tongtian Daoren, Antarctic Immortal and Duobao Daoren also understood the cause and effect. The two said in unison, "Thank you for your guidance, three masters. After returning, we will immediately go into seclusion to cultivate and break through to the Great Luo Dao Realm!"

"Hmm!" Sanqing nodded, a satisfied look on his face.

In their view, to attain enlightenment and transcendence, one must not only have outstanding aptitude, great fortune, and great perseverance, but also possess great wisdom and learn to align oneself with the natural order.

Since the course of Heaven has already been determined, there is no need to go against it. On the contrary, by following the course of Heaven, the path to enlightenment will be much easier and smoother.

Of course, the Antarctic Immortal and the Daoist Duobao still have choices. Even after they attain the Great Luo Dao Lord, there are ways to make up for the defects of the Dao Flower. In the future, there will be three Heavenly Dao Saints to support them.

As for the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race, Di Jun and Tai Yi were swept up by the overwhelming force of the Heavenly Dao and had no way to turn back, so they had no choice but to fight desperately!

Then, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist looked at his second senior sister, Jinling Shengmu, and said earnestly, "Jinling, although your cultivation is not as profound as Nanji and Duobao's, you have survived three tribulations. You are only two more tribulations away from breaking through to the Great Luo Dao Realm: the 'Decline of the Great Dao' and the 'Decline of the Dao Heart'!"

With your background, aptitude, and luck, surviving these two tribulations shouldn't be too difficult. Remember, you must obtain the Great Luo Dao Fruit before all the Heavenly Saints return to their positions!

As for the Great Luo Dao Flower, as long as it can be guaranteed to bloom to the eighth grade, with your two senior uncles and me around in the future, it won't be difficult to make up for it!

"Disciple obeys!" The Golden Spirit Mother rose, bowed respectfully to the three people on the cloud bed, and then sat back down on the futon.

Upon hearing terms such as "decline of the Great Dao," "decline of the Dao Heart," and "calamity of decline," a shadow crossed Lu Yuan's eyes.

In the present primordial world, Hongjun Daozu of Zixiao Palace has only recently merged with the Dao, and the rules and order of the Heavenly Dao are not yet fully perfected. The three calamities and nine tribulations, as well as the many Heavenly Tribulations that immortals in later generations would face before and after attaining immortality, have not yet appeared in the world.

Since Pangu created the world, the laws of the primordial heavens have been perfected through several great calamities, gradually becoming more refined and strict from being crude and scattered.

During the era of gods and demons, only those who attained the Primordial Sainthood would be subject to the Primordial Tribulation by the Heavenly Dao.

When the Dao Era of the Dragon, Wind, and Qilin races arrived, the cultivators of the Primordial World embarked on the path of transcendence and attained the Dao Realm of Great Divine Power. The Heavenly Dao would then unleash nine layers of annihilation calamities. Only by surviving these annihilation calamities and achieving Dao amidst the destruction of heaven and earth could one transcend one's own path!

However, after the end of the Great Calamity of Immortals and Demons, in order to restrain the number of powerful beings in the primordial world, the original order of the Heavenly Dao gave rise to the calamity of "Five Decays of Heaven and Man".

Before a Taiyi Golden Immortal can break through to become a Daluo Daojun and transcend the River of Fate, they must undergo the tribulation of the "Five Decays of Heaven and Man".

Only by overcoming the decline of magical power, physical body, primordial spirit, Great Dao, and Dao heart can one be qualified to transcend the river of fate and obtain the Great Luo Dao Fruit.

Lu Yuan was confident that he could overcome the five signs of decay in the celestial realm: the decay of magical power, the decay of the primordial spirit, the decay of the physical body, and the decay of the Great Dao.

Only the final "decline of the Dao Heart," formless and invisible, descended silently, making Lu Yuan extremely wary.

He came from the materialistic Blue Star, and his true spirit was tainted by the dust of the mortal world. If the decline of his Dao heart is amplified, can the undying spiritual light burning deep within his true spirit transcend the mortal world?

Just as Lu Yuan's thoughts were racing, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist's gaze shifted to him, a barely perceptible light flashing in his eyes. He pondered and said, "Qingxuan, you currently only have the cultivation of a Golden Immortal at the peak of your cultivation. You still need to comprehend the rules of the Xuanhuang Great Dao in order to perfect the Taiyi Dao Fruit!"

Before the Heavenly Sage returns to his position, there is absolutely no way you can attain the Great Luo Dao Lord status! In the future, your eldest uncle, second uncle, and I will give you more lectures on the Dao so that you can refine the myriad Daos and accumulate your foundation!

However, you'd better transcend the River of Fate and attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit before the Lich Calamity ends!

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will obey!" Lu Yuan stood up and bowed to Shangqing Tongtian Daoist before returning to the futon and sitting cross-legged.

Upon seeing this, the Three Pure Ones on the cloud bed nodded in satisfaction and then began to preach.

The Three Pure Ones have all severed their good and evil corpses and reached the late stage of Quasi-Saint. This time, they have listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace and comprehended the Primordial Dao Fruit for tens of thousands of years. They are now all standing at the peak of the late stage of Quasi-Saint.

Among them, the Taoist Taiqing even showed a slight tendency to break through the shackles of the late Quasi-Saint stage!

They were perfectly clear about the bottlenecks faced by Lu Yuan and his companions, and the lack of profound understanding of the Great Dao.

So the Three Pure Ones began to explain the shortcomings of Lu Yuan and the other three, explaining them in a profound and easy-to-understand way. Lu Yuan and the other three were all engrossed in their explanations and benefited greatly from them!

Lu Yuan's biggest problem now is to comprehend the eleventh and twelfth Xuanhuang Great Dao rules. The Three Pure Ones occupy the three major positions of Xuan, Yuan, and Shi, which correspond to the three stages of chaos destruction, the creation of heaven and earth, and the evolution of all things.

When they are united, they form a complete cycle of the creation of heaven and earth, and the Great Dao naturally includes the Xuanhuang Great Dao.

"The primordial chaos is the root of heaven and earth!"

From the individual great paths of the Three Pure Ones, Lu Yuan saw the cycle of the creation of heaven and earth, the generation of all things, and the destruction of the world, and immediately gained enlightenment.

Since the Great Dao of Xuanhuang is the root of heaven and earth, why not use the Great Dao of Xuanhuang as the foundation to forge the Three Thousand Great Daos and evolve the cycle of heaven and earth?

"Yes, the universe is the universe, and my path to the Great Dao lies within it."

If I can use the Great Dao of Xuanhuang as a foundation, refine the Three Thousand Great Daos, and evolve a complete cycle of heaven and earth, I may have a chance to reach the realm of Hunyuan Dao.

However, this path is difficult to follow. It is too difficult to fully encompass the three thousand Great Daos. It needs to be broken down into smaller parts. First, a rough framework needs to be established, and then the rest can be filled in later.

Thinking of this, a hint of joy flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. He immediately began to deduce how to lay out this crude framework within the Qingyun Dao Fruit above his head.

"The evolution of heaven and earth has its own rules. This primordial world was created by Pangu in order to transcend the Great Dao!"

Looking across the vast chaotic world, there is no other place that contains such a profound realm of Dao.

Perhaps my crude framework can be found in the evolution of the primordial world!

As his thoughts raced, Lu Yuan recalled his own method of learning from heaven and earth, and a flash of inspiration struck him.

With this in mind, Lu Yuan put this aside for the time being and listened attentively to the Three Pure Ones' teachings. After all, even the crude framework of heaven and earth could not be comprehended in a short time.

Rather than doing that, it would be better to listen to the Dao and comprehend its teachings, continue to refine one's own Xuanhuang Dao rules, and condense the Taiyi Dao Fruit as soon as possible.

The Three Pure Ones preach the Dao, completing a cycle every three hundred years. When Lu Yuan regained his senses, it was just as the Jade Pure Primordial Daoist manifested the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit, proclaiming the Primordial Heavenly King's creation of heaven and earth.

As the words of the Great Dao entered his ears, Lu Yuan felt as if he had traveled to the primordial chaos beyond the heavens, where a majestic-looking, middle-aged Primordial Heavenly King wielding a giant axe appeared before him.

He swung his giant axe, opening up the chaotic void. The sound of creation resounded, and a crack appeared in the chaotic void, revealing a chaotic vortex that recklessly devoured the chaotic energy.

The sound of creation continued to resound, and the majestic middle-aged Primordial Heavenly King swung his axe a few more times, manifesting illusory images of heaven and earth within the chaotic vortex.

As time passed, the illusory image of heaven and earth gradually solidified. The middle-aged Primordial Heavenly King stood with his feet on the earth and his head above the sky. He changed nine times a day. After 129,600 years, the middle-aged Primordial Heavenly King died from exhaustion.

His eyes became the sun and moon, his breath became wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, his blood became rivers, lakes, and seas, his spine supported the pillar of heaven, and his essence, energy, and spirit scattered between heaven and earth, transforming into numerous laws and powers of heaven.

When heaven and earth were created, the Great Dao, sensing this, sent down the primordial energy of merit and virtue, which fell into the space between heaven and earth, either transforming into numerous treasures of merit and virtue or merging into the space between heaven and earth.

As time passed, the world began to nurture primordial beings. With the birth of these primordial beings, the world entered a period of prosperity, but conflicts and battles also increased, gradually evolving into a great calamity.

After countless eons, heaven and earth were destroyed, and the world returned to ruins. In the midst of chaos, the middle-aged Primordial Heavenly King returned, as if he had just taken a nap, and then repeated the process of creating heaven and earth!

"Yes, the Primordial Heavenly King created the world and created the origin of all things, and the cause of all the effects of heaven and earth and all things!"

When heaven and earth were created, the 'cause' was sown, and all things in the world, no matter how they evolve, are the 'effect' of that 'cause'!

When heaven and earth are destroyed and all things cease to exist, the 'effect' follows the 'cause,' and the two combined become 'cause and effect'!

A flash of inspiration struck Lu Yuan, and he suddenly had a sudden enlightenment, glimpsing a trace of the profound and mysterious laws of cause and effect.

Within His Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit, a wisp of illusory causal river suddenly manifested, with countless tributaries within it. As the illusory causal river manifested, that illusory innate Xuanhuang Dao Fruit became even more perfect!

The change in the aura of the Great Dao emanating from Lu Yuan was observed by the Three Pure Ones on the cloud bed, and all three showed a satisfied expression.

Among them, the Jade Pure Primordial Daoist, who was expounding the Great Dao, nodded inwardly, thinking that his efforts to expound the profound mysteries of the causes of all fruits were not in vain.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had comprehended the laws of cause and effect of the Xuanhuang Great Dao, the Jade Pure Primordial Daoist further expounded on the cause of the Primordial Heavenly King's creation of heaven and earth, which transformed into the causes of all results.

Within the Sanqing Palace, the Great Dao's maxims resounded, and profound rules of cause and effect manifested before Lu Yuan's eyes.

As His understanding of the laws of cause and effect deepened, the illusory river of cause and effect within His Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit gradually became clearer and more solid, and the illusory innate Xuanhuang Dao Fruit also gradually solidified.

A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. The Jade Pure Primordial Daoist stopped preaching, and the Daoist voice of the Upper Pure Heavenly Daoist rang out, proclaiming the cause and effect of all things.

Unlike the cause of all effects as taught by the Jade Pure Primordial Daoist, the cause and effect as taught by the Upper Pure Heavenly Daoist is directed towards the future, with all causes ultimately returning to me, representing the final outcome of all things.

The cause of all effects is aimed at the future; all results must originate from me, representing the origin of all phenomena.

One can erase the cause of all existence, causing people to disappear directly from the present world; the other can annihilate all possibilities of the future, collapsing multiple dimensions of time and space into a single reality.

This means that the Jade Purity Primordial Daoist can make the result exist before the cause, while the Upper Purity Heavenly Daoist can make the cause appear later than the result!
