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

As soon as the Taoist Taiqing finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao was moved, and the Xuanhuang Merit Waterfall poured down, its power surpassing even Nuwa's sainthood by thirty percent!

As the merits of establishing the religion were accumulated, the merits of creation within the true spirit of the Taiqing Daoist were activated. The combination of the two began to evolve into the boundless Dao domain.

The Taoist Taiqing was immersed in the enlightenment of the Great Dao, and the three streams of primordial purple energy within his true spirit fiercely intertwined:

The primordial purple energy left by Pangu forms a colossal pillar of chaos, supporting the foundation of the sacred path;

The Primordial Purple Qi bestowed by the Dao Ancestor triggered countless Heavenly Dao rune chains;

The primordial purple energy (from the Earthly Emperor's secret method presented by Lu Yuan) condensed like golden scales soaring into the sky, the Great Dao of non-action breaking free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao!

"cut!"

With a shout, the corpse-bearer "Taishang Laojun" stepped out on a yin-yang symbol, sweeping away all worldly turbid thoughts with his whisk—Taishang Daoren severed all three corpses! Instantly, he became a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal and proved himself a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Because the Taoist Taiqing attained the Primordial Chaos Realm by using three streams of Primordial Purple Qi, he was both a Primordial Golden Immortal and a Heavenly Saint. He was born a saint and was not bound by the power of the Heavenly Dao!

As the Taoist Taiqing attempted to invoke the power of the Heavenly Dao, boundless strange phenomena filled the heavens and earth, and auspicious omens of the immortal Dao permeated the entire primordial world.

Lu Yuan, who was suffering from the decline of the Great Dao, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes. With the fluctuation of the power of the Heavenly Dao, the power of the backlash of the calamity that was in a stalemate was completely suppressed by the Xuanhuang Dao Fire and the power of the Xuanhuang Great Dao.

Moreover, as the merits of the Taiqing Daoist who established his teachings fell, Lu Yuan bestowed the Dharma upon the human race and occupied the position of the human race's Immortal Master. Heaven was moved and similarly bestowed a thick mass of Xuanhuang merits, which fell into the Qingyun Dao Fruit.

The profound merits poured down like a celestial river from the heavens! Enveloped in the power of the Heavenly Dao, they swept down, instantly washing away the impurities within Lu Yuanqing's Dao Fruit.

The withered Dao Fruit in Qingyun was as if it had received sweet rain, and its cracks instantly healed as if it had never been before. The Primordial Dao Rhyme appeared between the innate Dao patterns, and the Xuanhuang Qi surged like a dragon. At the core of the innate Xuanhuang Dao Fruit's embryonic form, a Xuanhuang Dao Seed that was originally uncarved from chaos actually formed—the Taiyi Perfection Realm, thus becoming perfectly formed!

Moreover, as the Xuanhuang Merit fell, it was about to instantly boost Lu Yuan's cultivation level, causing him to begin advancing towards the Great Luo Dao Realm. With a thought, Lu Yuan suppressed the Xuanhuang Merit within the Qingyun Dao Fruit, and did not use the merit to boost his cultivation.

It should be understood that Xuanhuang merit is extremely rare, while for Lu Yuan, obtaining the Great Luo Dao Fruit is not difficult. Using the precious Xuanhuang merit to improve his cultivation is simply a waste.

For Lu Yuan, the Xuanhuang Merit, whether for protection, tribulation relief, or as resources for condensing Primordial Purple Qi, is far more valuable than improving his cultivation!

On the other side, in the vast sky, the Dao Eye suddenly split open. The Taiqing Daoist took a step forward, with golden lotuses beneath his feet supporting the Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda of Heaven and Earth.

The true spirit was intertwined with three layers of purple energy, and the holy might around his body surged. The rules of the Great Dao and the starry river surrounded his body, and the void collapsed into a chaotic lotus pond. Countless incarnations from the past and future chanted "Taiqing Daode Tianzun" in unison!

Because of his profound foundation, Taiqing Daoist attained the body of a Primordial Saint, eradicated all three corpses, and accumulated immeasurable merit. As soon as he became a saint, he had the cultivation of the third level of Hunyuan. With the blessing of the power of the Heavenly Dao, he could even unleash the power of the fifth level of Hunyuan, which was even more profound than the current Goddess Nuwa's cultivation!

In the heavens and earth, the thunderous sound of enlightenment resounded eighty-one times, the sun and moon shone brightly, and the void was filled with innate purple energy. Endless auspicious signs and wonders of the immortal path rose up.

As the Daoist Taiqing withdrew from the Heavenly Dao, an immense sage's aura swept across the entire prehistoric world. Hundreds of millions of beings prostrated themselves on the ground, heading towards Shouyang Mountain, to congratulate the Primordial Sage on his birth.

"Taiqing has become a saint!"

Upon witnessing the extraordinary phenomena of the Holy Path appearing between heaven and earth, and feeling the oppressive aura of the sages emanating from the direction of Shouyang Mountain, whispers rippled through the dojos of great supernatural beings across the primordial world, their faces displaying complex expressions.

Since Hongjun Daozu of Zixiao Palace and Nuwa Shengren of Nuwa Heaven, Taiqing Daode Tianzun has now attained sainthood and will be free from calamities and tribulations, becoming the third Hunyuan Saint in the primordial world.

With the successive emergence of Heavenly Saints, all those with great supernatural powers were reduced to mere ants. Even the two main races of the world, the Witch and the Demon, were reduced to mere foils to the Saints.

They seemed to realize something; perhaps the era of sages ruling over the primordial world had already arrived!

After Taiqing Daoren attained sainthood, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoren and Shangqing Tongtian Daoren in the Kunlun Mountain Daoist Temple also felt something and seemed to have some enlightenment!

The Taoist Master Tongtian of Shangqing, beaming with joy, said, "Elder brother has attained sainthood and obtained the Primordial Dao Fruit. We, the Three Pure Ones, are now united as one, and we should go and offer our congratulations!"

"What my third brother says is very true. Let us go to Shouyang Mountain. My eldest brother's attainment of sainthood is an honor for the Three Pure Ones!" Upon hearing this, the Jade Pure Primordial Daoist bowed slightly.

After saying this, the two rode on auspicious clouds and headed towards Shouyang Mountain, where the Taoist Taiqing was located.

On Mount Sumeru in the West, Jieyin and Zhunti sat facing each other. When they saw Taiqing Daoist attain sainthood, they exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with bitterness mixed with a hint of envy.

"Education, education, the opportunity for us to attain enlightenment lies in these two words: education. We should establish a great teaching and educate all living beings. Unfortunately, our West is desolate and its people are impoverished, unlike the East, which is vast and rich in resources, blessed with outstanding talents and the creation of heaven and earth!"

Even if we establish a great sect, the merits we gain will not be enough for us to attain sainthood! The sorrow on the withered face of the Guide Daoist deepened, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, the wounds of the ancient war between immortals and demons have exhausted the vitality of the West. Even though we have always taken it upon ourselves to revitalize the West, we have only managed to smooth over the surface of the collapse!" Daoist Zhunti nodded slightly, a bitter look also flashing across his face.

Jieyin and Zhunti could see clearly that Nuwa created humans and made them saints, and the Heavenly Dao bestowed upon her immeasurable merits, while the merits of Taiqing Daoist in establishing his sect were less than half of Nuwa's.

The reason why Taiqing Daoren was able to attain sainthood was mainly due to the "merit of creation" that he was born from the primordial spirit of Pangu. The merit of establishing a religion was just the beginning!

After pondering for a few breaths, a glint of light flashed in Zhunti Daoist's eyes, and he said with a heavy expression, "Senior brother, we need to make preparations as soon as possible. Since the merit of establishing the sect is insufficient, we can only perform the 'Great Vow Method'!"

Time waits for no one! Taiqing has attained sainthood and become one with the Three Pure Ones. Yuqing and Shangqing will also soon attain sainthood!

"We two have already fallen behind. If we cannot attain sainthood soon, the gap between us and the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa may become so great that it will be impossible to bridge..."

"By practicing the 'Great Vow Method,' we can obtain the Xuanhuang Merit in advance from the Heavenly Dao, and with the merit of establishing a religion, we can indeed attain enlightenment and become saints."

Once a grand vow is made, if it is not fulfilled in a day, we will be entangled by cause and effect, our cultivation will not progress, and we will face many obstacles in our actions!

It should be understood that although sages are not involved in cause and effect, it is because sages have infinite life and endless time to settle their karmic debts. Otherwise, the karmic debts would affect their disciples, and if they accumulated, such a great karmic debt would be enough to destroy a great sect!

Junior brother, you should think this through carefully...

The Guide Daoist looked solemn and hesitant as he looked at the Zhunti Daoist.

Upon hearing this, the Daoist Zhunti's expression changed constantly, and he began to struggle with his inner conflict. Clearly, he also knew that the method of "practicing the great vow" to attain enlightenment was a short-sighted and ultimately self-destructive act.

On the other side, in Nuwa's Heaven.

Nuwa was greatly displeased when she saw that the Taoist Taiqing had established a great religion among the human race, using it to educate and enlighten them, and that he had attained sainthood.

It should be understood that the human race was created by Him. Before establishing the Human Religion, the Taiqing Daoist did not inform Him in advance, which clearly shows that He did not take Him seriously.

Moreover, the Taoist Taiqing established the Human Sect, which immediately seized 30% of the human race's fortune. One-tenth of that fortune was taken from him. How could Nuwa not be furious!

However, what's done is done, and the fate of humanity has already been lost. Taiqing Daoren has attained sainthood and stepped into the third level of Hunyuan, his strength even surpassing that of Taiqing. Yuqing Yuanshi Daoren and Shangqing Tongtian Daoren are also about to attain sainthood.

Nuwa did not want to offend Pangu and the Three Pure Ones for the sake of the human race's fortune, so she swallowed her resentment.

Nuwa gazed at Shouyang Mountain with her phoenix eyes, watching the smug and triumphant Taiqing Daoist after his ascension to sainthood. She sneered inwardly, "Hmph, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, leader of the Human Sect, let's see how you settle this karmic debt!"

"Congratulations, elder brother, on attaining sainthood and obtaining the Primordial Dao Fruit!" Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist appeared at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, their faces beaming with joy, and congratulated Taiqing Daoist on attaining the Primordial Saint Dao.

However, the Taoist Taiqing rebuked them, saying, "Don't you understand yet? We, the Three Pure Ones of Pangu, are transformed from the primordial spirit of our Father God, born with the fortune of Heaven and Earth. We should teach and enlighten all living beings. Second Brother, Third Brother, if you don't establish your teachings and become saints now, when will you?"

This sudden, sharp rebuke, like a resounding bell, instantly pierced the celestial fog that had obscured the two people's true spirits, awakening them from their confusion.

In a flash of inspiration, the two of them seized upon the elusive opportunity for enlightenment!

The Jade Purity Primordial Daoist stood solemnly in the void, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Above his head, auspicious clouds and Dao fruits manifested, and the Jade Purity Immortal Light shone brightly.

His voice was like metal and stone. He looked up to the sky and bowed, saying, "I am the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the true lineage of Pangu, and the orthodox successor of the Xuanmen! I now establish the 'Chanjiao' to teach and enlighten all living beings."

"Chan" means enlightenment! It signifies conforming to the Way of Heaven, elucidating the principles of Heaven, and upholding the righteous Dharma. The supreme innate treasure, the 'Pangu Banner,' will suppress the destiny of the Chan Sect! The Chan Sect is established!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a grand and majestic aura of righteousness soared into the sky, drawing upon the immense power of the Heavenly Dao.

From the heavens, countless profound and yellow merits descended, transforming into billions of heavenly principles and runes, merging into the auspicious cloud Dao fruit.

The auspicious clouds above Yuqing Daoist's head surged, drawing upon the "Heaven-Opening Merit" within his true spirit. Three streams of primordial purple energy merged into his primordial spirit, and he instantly crossed the chasm of enlightenment, stepping into the Primordial Saint Realm.

In an instant, the auspicious light transformed into ten thousand golden lamps, adorned with tassels and pearls, illuminating the mountains and rivers with crystal clarity.

Then, the majestic image of "Yuanshi Tianzun" stepped out, holding a jade scepter with three treasures in his hand, his brows revealing supreme and noble majesty.

A majestic and boundless aura, like the might of heaven, emanated from the Jade Purity Primordial Daoist, shaking heaven and earth.

At the same time, Tongtian Daoren laughed loudly, stepped into the Nine Heavens Gale Layer, and the Qingping Sword rang out with a long clang, its sword intent sweeping across the land, cutting through endless mysteries: "I am Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, also the true successor of Pangu and Xuanmen! Today I establish the 'Jiejiao' to educate all living beings."

"To intercept is to seize! The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine; I shall seize that sliver of life for all living beings! With the supreme innate treasure, the 'Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation,' I will suppress the Intercepting Sect's destiny! The Intercepting Sect shall be established!"

The sound was as resounding as a sword, containing boundless sharpness. In an instant, ten thousand rays of azure light burst forth from his body, tearing the sky apart and revealing a magnificent phantom of ten thousand immortals paying homage and all laws evolving.

Amidst the auspicious clouds of Shangqing, the Dharma form of "Lingbao Tianzun" stepped out with unparalleled sharpness, its sword pointing in all directions, causing chaos to dissipate! Celestial music transformed into the sound of swords, auspicious energy formed sword energy, as if an invisible sword sound was humming, containing the Daoist intent of breaking through tribulations and protecting life.
