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

"Grand Master? I've done something great? Could it be that it's about enlightening the human race and your attainment of sainthood?" A hint of doubt flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes, then he pretended to suddenly understand and looked at Taiqing Daoist with excitement.

"Haha, Qingxuanzi, you are indeed clever. My opportunity to attain enlightenment lies in the human race!" Looking at the human tribe in the distance, a glint flashed in Taiqing Daoist's eyes. Recalling what Hongjun Daozu said when he distributed treasures, that he would use innate treasures to suppress the Dao lineage, he seemed to be deep in thought.

In the primordial world today, apart from the human race, only the witch and demon races, and the dragon, wind, and qilin races have the potential to inherit the lineage of the sages.

The demon race integrated the various races of the prehistoric world and was united by the powerful efforts of Emperor Jun and Taiyi. With the Heavenly Emperor Emperor Jun and the Sage Nuwa, it would be almost impossible for them to spread their teachings among the demon race.

Furthermore, the demon race is fierce and ruthless, lacks morality, and is inherently vicious and incorrigible, which is not in accordance with His will.

The Wu tribe, which rivals the demons, is said to originate from the father god Pangu, just like the Three Pure Ones. However, the Wu tribe only worships the father god Pangu and will never accept anyone's proselytizing.

Moreover, since the Wu Clan cultivators have no primordial spirit after refining evil energy, how can they inherit the Taiqing Immortal Path?

As for the three races of Dragon, Wind, Qilin, and Scale, although they have enough potential, they have already withdrawn from the prehistoric stage and are still burdened with the karmic consequences of the previous Dao era. If they were to preach among the three races, they would inevitably be tainted by the karmic consequences.

It should be noted that during the last great calamity of the three races, even the Dao Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor, who pioneered the paths of immortals and demons, got involved. If one gets entangled in karma, it won't be easy to repay. He wouldn't invite trouble upon himself.

Therefore, the three clans of Dragon, Wind, Qilin, and Scale had no choice but to give up!

Excluding the Witch and Demon races, and the Dragon, Wind, Qilin, and Scale races, among all the races in the prehistoric world, only the human race, chosen by the Heavenly Dao as the future protagonist of the world, has the potential to inherit the Daoist lineage of the sages.

"Humans are gentle and peaceful, with a strong reproductive capacity. They inherit the legacy of the divine and demonic era and have the support of sages of the Heavenly Dao..."

Upon realizing this, Daoist Taiqing's heart stirred, and he no longer concealed himself, revealing his true form. He took Lu Yuan and, in an instant, crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to arrive at the largest human settlement at the foot of Shouyang Mountain.

This human settlement is located east of Shouyang Mountain. Spanning a vast area of ​​tens of thousands of miles, dozens of human tribes, totaling over a million people, live and thrive here.

Lu Yuan and Taiqing Daoist landed in the largest human tribe. Faced with the opportunity to attain enlightenment, Taiqing Daoist did not show any eagerness, but instead found a mountain peak nearby and built a hut to live in.

He comprehends the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth daily, ventures deep into human tribes, observes the Dao bodies of humankind, and perfects the Taiqing Immortal Dao.

Lu Yuan closely followed and served Taiqing Daoren. Only when Taiqing Daoren comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth would Lu Yuan go deep into the human tribes to teach them the methods of cultivating spiritual plants and the principles of spiritual medicine.

With Lu Yuan's teachings, the entire human tribe had a stable food source, and they no longer had to resign themselves to fate and helplessly wait for death when faced with injuries and poisons.

In the blink of an eye, three hundred years have passed. In this human settlement at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, all the human tribes have become vibrant, and the population has increased by hundreds of thousands.

In gratitude for the immortal's teachings, the people of this human settlement created a 'golden statue' for Lu Yuan and worshipped him as their human immortal master.

Lu Yuan was overjoyed by the spontaneous offerings from the human race. In the future, when the human race becomes the protagonist of the world, he, as a human immortal master, will naturally enjoy the boundless power of incense offerings and also receive a share of the human race's fortune.

Although Lu Yuan hoped for the rise of the human race, he came from the future and naturally understood the principle that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. If they were to force the growth of the seedlings, the human race would lose its spirit of self-reliance.

This is detrimental to the future of humanity, and may even cause unforeseen turmoil, leading to greater suffering for humanity!

Furthermore, the human race is the future protagonist of heaven and earth. The Grand Master Taiqing Daoist established the Human Religion and wanted to be the leader of the Human Religion. The Second Grand Master Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist, the Master Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, and even the Western Jieyin and Zhunti all established their religions based on the human race and taught all living beings in the prehistoric world.

His ability to gain a foothold among humans and enjoy the title of human immortal master may also be due to Hongjun Heaven's favor towards the Three Pure Ones.

After all, the Heavenly Dao governs the order of the primordial world, and its net covers the entire world. As the protagonist of the world after the Wu and Yao races, how could the Heavenly Dao and even the Dao Ancestor of Zixiao Palace not pay attention to the human race?

Now, Lu Yuan is teaching the methods of cultivating spiritual plants and the principles of spiritual medicine to help the human race get started. This does not affect the interests of important figures, nor does it violate the bottom line of the Heavenly Dao. Out of respect for Pangu and the Three Pure Ones, this matter will be let go!

If He cannot control His greed and desires more, even affecting the general trend of Heaven, then even the Three Pure Ones cannot protect Him.

Lu Yuan, coming from a later era, might not be able to consider such details, but he also knew the principle that too much of a good thing is bad.

On this day, after the teachings ended and the group of humans who had listened to the teachings withdrew, dozens of human tribal leaders approached Lu Yuan and respectfully kowtowed, saying, "Immortal Master, we humans are born, grow old, get sick, and die too frequently, while the immortal cultivation traditions in our tribes have extremely demanding requirements for cultivation aptitude!"

We humbly beseech the Immortal Master to bestow upon humanity the Immortal Path, granting us, the acquired humans, a means to put our skills to use!

Their gazes swept over the group of human leaders kneeling on the ground, their faces showing longing, and a hint of trepidation flashing in their eyes.

Although Lu Yuan was happy to help the human race, he knew very well that this was not something he could interfere with.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. Perhaps the day had come for his senior uncle to pass on his teachings to the human race!

After clearing his throat, Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, "Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of heaven and earth. Without attaining immortality and obtaining the golden nature, one will eventually perish!"

My talents are limited, and the immortal cultivation inheritance I possess has even more stringent requirements for cultivation aptitude, making it unsuitable for human cultivation.

To resolve this matter, we must consult my Grand Master Uncle, who is a direct descendant of Pangu, the leader of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao, and possesses immense supernatural powers.

Seemingly remembering something, Lu Yuan continued, "My eldest grandmaster is of noble status. You should all build a high thatched hut here, hang flowers and decorations, burn incense and sweep the area to welcome your arrival!"

"Thank you for your mercy, Immortal Master. We humans will never forget your kindness. We will continue to offer incense and worship your golden body day and night!" The tribal leaders of the human race kowtowed excitedly.

"Alright, you may begin constructing the reed hut. I will go and request permission to report this matter!" After saying this, Lu Yuan turned and left, heading towards the mountain peak where the Taoist Taiqing had built his hut.

After Lu Yuan left, the human race began to cut down bamboo and trees, gather reeds and thatch, hang flowers and decorations, burn incense and sweep, and build reed huts.

Upon returning to his dwelling, Taiqing Daoist was comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, while Lu Yuan stood quietly to the side, serving him silently.

After a long while, when Taiqing Daoist opened his eyes, Lu Yuan reported on the current situation of the human race and his request to spread the Dao.

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Daoist Taiqing nodded, his eyes filled with approval, and said, "Qingxuan, you handled the matter of the human race very well, with great tact!"

Lu Yuan traveled among the humans to teach the Dharma, and Taiqing Daoist saw it all. Lu Yuan was neither arrogant nor impatient, and he handled things very well. What pleased Taiqing Daoist even more was that Lu Yuan knew the importance of the human race, but he was able to restrain his greed and not ask for more!

Thinking of this, a hint of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Taoist Taiqing.

Nodding, Daoist Taiqing gazed at the distant reed hut, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Now that the opportunity to attain enlightenment has arrived, it's time to achieve sainthood!"

After saying this, the Taoist Taiqing rode up a seven-colored auspicious cloud and landed on the reed hut with Lu Yuan.

The Daoist Taiqing sat upright on the cloud platform, with Lu Yuan attending to him. He then spoke, "I am the Daoist Taiqing. Having traveled among the human race for ten thousand years, I have observed the deficiencies in your path to immortality. Therefore, I have established the 'Golden Elixir Path.' Today, I pass on the Taiqing lineage. Those with affinity are welcome to come and listen to my teachings!"

Although His voice was not loud, it covered all the human tribes at the foot of Shouyang Mountain. The voice was clear, long, and accurately reached the ears of every human being.

Among the human race, all those who aspire to the path of immortality flock to the location of the reed hut.

After waiting for forty-nine days, the area around the reed hut was packed with people, and even the nearby open space was full of humans. Upon seeing this, the Taoist Taiqing began to preach the Great Dao of Golden Elixir.

In an instant, auspicious energy spread everywhere, flowers rained down from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, and the sound of the Great Dao echoed between heaven and earth.

"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name."

Nothingness is the origin of heaven and earth; existence is the mother of all things.

Therefore, one should always be without desire in order to observe its subtlety; one should always have desire in order to observe its manifestations.

These two originate from the same source but have different names; both are called profound. Profound and yet more profound, the gateway to all wonders.

..........

My way is like water, which benefits all things without striving, and dwells in places that others disdain, thus it is close to the Way.

Dwell in a good place, have a kind and deep mind, be kind and benevolent, speak truthfully, govern well, be capable in your work, and act at the right time.

Because he does not contend, he is without fault.

"........."

The Daoist Taiqing uttered the Great Dao's maxims, and boundless immortal light shone forth, revealing various wondrous realms of immortality. He first expounded his own Dao, and then preached the "Great Dao of the Golden Elixir" to the human race, explaining the Taiqing Immortal Dao bit by bit.

The Daoist Taiqing spoke of the Daoist Way, which was the very inheritance that the human race lacked most. Everyone listened intently, completely absorbed.

Lu Yuan, who was standing to the side, also listened to the Taiqing Immortal Dao along with the human race. In order to take care of the human race, the Taiqing Daoist first talked about the "Golden Elixir Dao".

This so-called "Golden Elixir Path" mainly focuses on cultivation methods below the Immortal Path. Although humans are intelligent and clever, they are naturally weak and have short lifespans.

Taiqing Daoist then created the "Golden Elixir Great Way," which uses the human body as a great elixir to refine, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth to build the foundation for immortality, which is very suitable for the human race.

After attaining immortality, he officially joined the mainstream immortal path of the prehistoric world. The Taiqing Daoist then passed down the Taiqing Immortal Path. These great paths are not obscure or profound. They start from the Yuanxian, then move to the Zhenxian, Tianxian, Jinxian, Taiyi, and continue all the way to the Daluo Jinxian. They do not involve the Dao realm of the Quasi-Saint Great Supernatural Powers.

Although he had already cultivated to the Taiyi Perfect Dao Realm, Lu Yuan listened attentively to the Dao, and he memorized all the insights into the Great Dao that the Taiqing Daoist explained.

It is through mutual verification with one's own understanding of the Great Dao that one can continuously improve and correct one's own understanding of the Great Dao.

While listening to the Dao, Lu Yuan also manifested the Qingyun Dao Fruit, using the "Gate of Xuanhuang" to refine the Great Dao's proverbs, and quietly recorded the Daoist Taiqing's sermon.

In the blink of an eye, the Taoist Taiqing had been preaching for a thousand years, and Lu Yuan's Taoist cultivation had greatly advanced. On this day, from the depths of the origin of the Xuanhuang Great Dao, a vast, formless, and untraceable power descended leisurely, following the mysterious connection between Lu Yuan and the innate Xuanhuang Great Dao!

As the backlash from the Great Dao subsided, a decaying, surging, and illusory river instantly appeared in Lu Yuan's mind, flowing majestically into the Qingyun Dao Fruit.

The moment this decaying, illusory river came into contact with the Qingyun Dao Fruit, the nascent form of the Innate Xuanhuang Dao Fruit was tainted. Lu Yuan's consciousness was as if it had been dragged into an endless abyss, his face instantly turned ashen, and the veins on his neck bulged.

As the decline of the Great Dao continued, auspicious clouds rolled above Lu Yuan's head, and the nascent form of the Innate Profound Yellow Dao Fruit was covered with spiderweb-like cracks!

The power of the Xuanhuang Great Dao gradually weakened under the backlash of the Great Dao's decline. At this moment, Lu Yuan was like a lamb to the slaughter, extremely weak, and had a feeling of suffocation.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan's Dao heart was resolute, and he maintained a clear mind amidst the decline of the Great Dao, without losing his way.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Yuan finally adapted to the backlash of the Great Dao's decline. His Xuanhuang power seemed to have been weakened to its limit, and he was locked in a stalemate with the decaying power of the calamity.

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and persevered. The decline of the Great Dao tests a cultivator's understanding of the Great Dao. The deeper one's understanding of the Great Dao, the fewer oversights and mistakes one will make, and the easier it will be to overcome the decline of the Great Dao.

At the same time, the decline of the Great Dao is also a good opportunity to correct and improve one's own Great Dao. When the power of decline and calamity descends, the oversights that are not usually noticed will all be revealed.

As long as one can weather the decline of the Great Dao and withstand the backlash of the power of the calamity, one's understanding of the Great Dao will reach a higher level.

After calming his mind, Lu Yuan manifested the Qingyun Dao Fruit. The 'Gate of Profound Yellow' opened wide, and the Profound Yellow Qi within surged back, locking the Qingyun Dao Fruit tightly. He used the 'Refining Dao Divine Power' to ignite the Profound Yellow Dao Fire, scorching every inch of 'filth' on the Qingyun Dao Fruit.

The backlash from the Great Dao's decline and calamity, through the mysterious connection between itself and Lu Yuan, continuously flowed into the Qingyun Dao Fruit, creating a stalemate with the Xuanhuang Dao Fire and the Xuanhuang Great Dao power on Lu Yuan's body. For a time, neither could gain the upper hand.

Seeing that the decline of the Great Dao had been suppressed, Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to concentrate on listening to the Daoist Taiqing's sermon.

As Taiqing Daoist preached, he observed Lu Yuan's performance. Seeing that Lu Yuan was not alarmed by the backlash of his calamity and could still listen attentively to the teachings, a smile of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. This child was indeed the future of the Three Pure Ones lineage!

Nodding to himself, the Taoist Taiqing continued his sermon. In the blink of an eye, another two thousand years passed. As the humans around him who were listening to the sermon turned to cultivating the "Golden Elixir Path," many cultivators attained immortality and even achieved the True Immortal or Heavenly Immortal realms.

A great fortune of heaven gradually gathered, and the primordial purple energy within the primordial spirit of the Supreme Pure Daoist gradually became active, beginning to merge with the primordial spirit. His cultivation level rapidly increased, and he was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a sage.

The aura around the Taoist Taiqing became even more ethereal, and his eyes, clear in black and white, shone with the Taoist charm of non-action.

After a long while, seemingly reaching a critical point, the Taiqing Daoist suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He immediately released all his energy, stood up, and said, "I am the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, the true successor of Pangu and the Xuanmen lineage. Today, having achieved the Great Dao, I establish the Human Religion to educate all living beings and guide the human race. I use the innate supreme treasure, the Taiji Diagram, to suppress the Human Religion's fortune. The Human Religion is established!"
