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

Within the Nuwa Heaven, the Primordial Dao permeated the air, and the Daoist aura of the Sage Nuwa swept through the void like a torrent.

Just as Lu Yuan was immersed in the sage's sermon, a fierce backlash from the Great Dao suddenly erupted—the "decay of magical power," one of the five signs of decay in the celestial realm, descended with overwhelming force!

The power of the Taiyi Perfection technique dissipated and peeled away from the primordial spirit, physical body, and even true spirit like a receding tide. The power of decay raged, and Lu Yuan's physical body withered instantly, while the light of his primordial spirit dimmed like a candle in the wind.

However, Lu Yuan's eyes were clear and calm, without any fear. Being surrounded by the Great Dao of the Sage was both the greatest test and an excellent opportunity!

He carefully sensed the decline of the Great Dao, which was raging within his physical body, primordial spirit, and true spirit. Under the backlash of the Great Dao, his body exuded a putrid smell, and in an instant, the magical power he had painstakingly cultivated dissipated completely.

Calmly introspecting himself, Lu Yuan's Dao heart was as firm as a rock, and the true meaning of the Xuanhuang Great Dao surged and flowed, beginning to resist the backlash of the Great Dao.

The originally scattered magical power was forcibly restrained by the vast and profound Xuanhuang Daoist aura. Deep within the Dao Fruit, the three innate ancestral symbols of "birth and death," "reincarnation," and "evolution" spun wildly, like the core flame of the Xuanhuang furnace, using the Great Dao as firewood and decaying magical power as fuel to ignite a magnificent Dao fire.

Above his head, within the auspicious cloud of the Dao Fruit, the 'Gate of Profound Yellow' suddenly shone brightly, greedily absorbing the primordial Dao essence that was being imprinted. The boundless sacred energy, filtered and transformed through this gate, became the purest nectar of creation, nourishing the withering primordial spirit and physical body, and merging into the Dao Fire!

Lu Yuan whispered, "Xuanhuang is Heaven and Earth, the rules of Heaven and Earth, all laws flow into the same source, settle!"

The power of decay and calamity was forcibly incorporated into its own evolutionary system of the Xuanhuang Great Dao. Under the dual tempering of the Dao Fire and Sacred Rhyme, the scattered magical power was burned away, its impurities were burned away, and its origin was reshaped into a refined essence. It was tempered from a decaying "dried-up river" into a surging "Xuanhuang River", even more refined and condensed!

Within the Nuwa Palace, the vast Daoist sounds never ceased, yet one particular energy was reborn from the ashes, quietly sublimating amidst the boiling Daoist rhythm.

In the blink of an eye, the tribulation vanished and the Dao was achieved! Lu Yuan's body shone with a brilliant, dark yellow divine light. His withered physical body was like the earth returning to spring, and his withered primordial spirit was like jade marrow being reborn, radiant and glistening. The nascent form of the Dao Fruit was not only stable, but the Dao patterns on it also gained an eternal luster, as if it had endured countless tribulations.

Lu Yuan sat upright, his Qingyun Dao Fruit perfectly harmonious as ever, and the sacred sound of Nuwa Heaven still resounded.

As soon as the tribulation wave of weakened magic subsided, Lu Yuan felt his soul suddenly become clear, as if a dusty ancient mirror had been wiped clean.

The Great Dao of Xuanhuang became increasingly clear. Within the Dao Fruit of Qingyun, the twelve rules of Xuanhuang swirled like a galaxy. The three innate ancestral symbols of birth and death, reincarnation, and evolution resonated incessantly, and the sound of the Great Dao's embryonic breath could be faintly heard amidst their surging.

At this moment, his understanding of "the universe is the universe" has penetrated to the bone marrow, and he can determine the cause and effect of purity and impurity with a single thought.

After the magic power and primordial spirit were reborn from the ashes, and the power of decay was completely dispelled, the withered physical body was like the earth returning to spring, with its skin flowing with mysterious yellow light.

The primordial spirit is like a piece of precious jade, flawless and translucent, reflecting the clarity of the spiritual platform and the purple palace as if made of crystal.

Not only was his original Taiyi Perfection cultivation completely stabilized, but a Hunyuan Dao Foundation was also laid.

As he carefully contemplated the various transformations that followed his tribulation, Lu Yuan's joy was almost overflowing. The corners of his lips unconsciously turned up, and his eyes sparkled with starlight.

"The reason I was able to overcome this weakness in my magical power so easily is not only due to my profound understanding of the Great Dao of Xuanhuang, but also because the sage's Daoist aura permeating the Nuwa Palace played a significant role!"

Looking at the sacred words of wisdom that echoed in the Nuwa Palace, Lu Yuan seemed lost in thought.

The immense power of the Heavenly Dao that flowed during Nuwa's sermon suppressed the intensity of the Great Dao's backlash, allowing the "Gate of Mysterious Yellow" to absorb the sacred essence and transform it into Dao fire and sweet rain to aid his Nirvana.

After a brief moment of joy, Lu Yuan turned his attention to comprehending the Great Dao of the Sage. A thousand years later, this "feast" of the Sage's teachings would come to an end.

Such a supreme opportunity as a sage preaching the Dao is extremely rare, and Lu Yuan naturally wanted to seize the opportunity to comprehend the sage's wise words and accumulate insights into the Great Dao, not wanting to waste a single moment.

Lu Yuan's crossing of the "decay of magical power" was naturally seen by the Three Pure Ones beside him, but they were deeply comprehending the Great Dao of Hunyuan and did not make a sound.

Even Nuwa, who was expounding the Great Dao of the Sages, noticed him. However, Lu Yuan was just a junior cultivator at the Taiyi Dao Realm, so Nuwa only glanced at him.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. Nuwa remained silent, and all the great supernatural beings and Dao Lords who had listened to the sermon awoke at the same time. This sage's sermon had come to an end!

"I have now fully explained the Primordial Holy Path. You may all return to your respective dojos and carefully study it!" Nuwa said, then rose to see her guests off.

"Thank you for preaching, Sage!" The group of powerful beings and Dao Lords bowed to Nuwa and then turned to leave.

Even the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti sincerely bowed their heads in reverence. Although Nuwa's teachings on the Primordial Holy Path did not lead them to the opportunity to attain enlightenment, they did deepen their understanding of the Primordial Holy Path.

After exchanging greetings, the Three Pure Ones, along with Lu Yuan and the Golden Spirit Mother, together with Daoist Duobao and the Antarctic Immortal, left Nuwa Palace and returned to their Daoist temple on Kunlun Mountain.

In Nuwa's Palace, only Fuxi, Dijun, Taiyi, and a group of quasi-saints and great supernatural beings from the Heavenly Court of the demon race remained.

Nuwa glanced at Di Jun and Tai Yi, who seemed hesitant to speak, and then looked at Kunpeng, Tengshe, and the ten great demon saints of the demon race, including Bai Ze, Jimeng, Shang Yang, Guiche, and Jiuying.

"Sage, you have attained sainthood and achieved enlightenment. Our demon race's Heavenly Court..."

Di Jun stepped forward and began to speak.

However, before Di Jun could finish speaking, Nuwa interrupted him, saying, "I already know what you are thinking. However, the struggle between the Wu and Yao races is something that even the Heavenly Sages cannot interfere with. This is both the general trend of Heaven and the decree of Master Hongjun."

However, although I cannot directly intervene in the war between the Lich and the Demon race, I will not stand idly by if the Demon race is ever in trouble!

"Alright, Dijun, Taiyi, Kunpeng... you may all step down. From now on, you will decide the affairs of the Heavenly Court for the Demon Race yourselves. Do not disturb me..."

Nuwa's words silenced Di Jun's words. Although he was very dissatisfied, the deep-seated Di Jun did not show it. Instead, he congratulated Nuwa on her attainment of sainthood.

After exchanging pleasantries, Di Jun, Tai Yi, Kun Peng, and Teng She, along with the Ten Demon Saints, left Nuwa Palace.

In Nuwa's palace, only Fuxi and Nuwa remained. Fuxi wore a bitter smile as he looked at Nuwa and said, "Sister, why must you be like this? No matter what, Dijun is still the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing this, Nuwa narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, glanced at Fuxi, and said, "Brother, since Dijun has weakened the prestige of our Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage in the Heavenly Court, he must bear the consequences of his actions today."

Furthermore, Di Jun and Tai Yi's attempt to solidify their Heavenly Court's prestige by helping me attain sainthood is a miscalculation!

Upon hearing this, Fuxi's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, and he sighed deeply in his heart: "Since that's the case, you shall go into seclusion in Nuwa Heaven. From now on, I will handle the affairs of the Demon Clan's Heavenly Court!"

Nuwa looked at Fuxi, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and said, "Brother, the struggle between the Wu and Yao races is entangled with karma and karmic forces. Although they have achieved temporary prosperity, the lessons of the Dragon-Han Calamity are not far off. In my opinion, the Wu and Yao races will probably follow in the footsteps of the three races!"

Furthermore, after the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, and Zhunti attained sainthood, although they could not intervene in the "Lich-Demon Calamity," they would not sit idly by and watch the two races continue to prosper.

Brother, you shouldn't get involved in this mess with the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race. I think Di Jun and Tai Yi will give me face...

Looking at Nuwa, whose eyebrows were slightly furrowed and who was incomparably holy, Fuxi shook his head and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes. He said, "It is too late to withdraw now. My Fengqi Mountain lineage enjoys the positions of two Demon Emperors. How can the karma between us and the Heavenly Court of the Demon Race be easily severed?"

Furthermore, I have already deeply entered the Great Tribulation of the Lich King, and I am entangled in the calamity's energy and karma. If I do not fight hard during this great calamity to sever the karmic calamity, I will have no hope of attaining the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos in the future.

I would rather perish and vanish than live as a 'corpse-guarding ghost' and eke out a living. Besides, even if I perish and vanish, I will return after countless eons..."

Seeing Fuxi's resolute gaze, Nuwa swallowed back the words of advice that were on the tip of her tongue. She knew that Fuxi's mind was made up, so she had no choice but to give up trying to persuade him.

Furthermore, Nuwa had other plans in mind. She had already attained sainthood and was protected by a celestial saint. Even if Fuxi was caught up in the great calamity of the witches and demons, he might still be able to break free from it!

Kunlun Mountain, Qingxuan Hall.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the futon, meditating in seclusion to comprehend the teachings of the sage. The enlightenment he gained from the Great Dao was evident in the auspicious clouds above his head, and within the "Gate of Xuanhuang," the sage's words flowed, and wondrous realms of the Great Dao unfolded.

Lu Yuan gained immensely from listening to the Dao for ten thousand years. The sage's admonitions have been passed down through generations and are now invaluable. Although he cannot use the Dao realms above the Great Luo Dao realm for the time being, he will be able to use them one day as his cultivation and Dao practice improve.

The Dao realm below the Great Luo greatly enhanced Lu Yuan's understanding of the Great Dao. The Dao fruit of his own cultivation, the Primordial Profound Yellow Great Dao, had already reached a 40% completion.

Besides the Great Dao of Xuanhuang, Lu Yuan also studied the Great Dao of Creation, the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, the Great Dao of the Five Elements, the Great Dao of Destruction, the Great Dao of Life and Death, the Great Dao of Thunder, and so on...

In short, this sage's sermon was equivalent to several eons of arduous cultivation for Lu Yuan, since magical power is easy to improve, but the understanding of the Great Dao is not easy to comprehend.

As time flows by, a whole era passes in the blink of an eye.

In the Qingxuan Hall, Lu Yuan finished his meditation and stabilized his cultivation. He then opened his eyes, got up, and walked out of the hall.

During this Yuanhui, Lu Yuan comprehended the Dao realm preached by the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa within the 'Gate of Xuanhuang' every day, perfecting the embryonic form of his innate Xuanhuang Dao fruit.

Through the accumulation of this one epoch, like water dripping on stone, He had already built up enough foundation to challenge the Great Luo realm, but Lu Yuan did not rush into the gate.

Firstly, Lu Yuan had only overcome the decline of his magical power, physical body, and primordial spirit. Of the five signs of decay in a celestial being, he had not yet overcome the decline of the Great Dao and the decline of his Dao heart. As a result, he was unable to break through to the Great Luo realm due to the limitations imposed by the Heavenly Dao.

Secondly, given his current resources, if he were to attain the Great Luo Dao, Lu Yuan would only have a 40% chance of the flower blooming at the ninth grade, and as for the tenth grade Dao flower, he wouldn't even have a 10% chance.

Not to mention the eleventh-grade Dao Flower, or even the twelfth-grade Dao Flower that lays the foundation for the Primordial Dao.
