Primordial Era: A member of the Jie Sect, apprenticed to Tongtian

Kunlun Ancestral Lineage, Jade Void Palace.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sits serenely on the Taoist altar.

Below them, several figures were bowing in greeting.

"Paying homage to the sage teacher."

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these people were none other than the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

They are Taiyi Zhenren, dressed in a golden Taoist robe; Yuding Zhenren, with an air of otherworldly elegance; and Huanglong Zhenren, with a slightly plump face.

In addition, the remaining one is naturally Guang Chengzi.

What needs to be known is...

After the Investiture of the Gods, four of the Twelve Golden Immortals—Manjushri, Cihang Daoren, Julusun, and Samantabhadra—left the Chan Sect and joined the Buddhist sect.

In other words, at this time, the number of Golden Immortals in the Jade Void Palace was already half of the remaining Golden Immortals.

"This disciple has mismanaged worldly affairs, causing disgrace to the sect. I beg the Holy Teacher to punish me!"

At this moment, Guang Chengzi decisively knelt down and kowtowed.

The Jade Cauldron Immortal and the Taiyi Immortal, who were standing nearby, also immediately bowed and begged for forgiveness.

"..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's eyes were slightly closed, revealing no joy or anger.

After a long while, he finally looked at Guang Chengzi.

"You did make some mistakes in this handling of the matter."

He said softly.

"However, that person's background is most likely extraordinary, so you can't be blamed for this."

With a single word, Guang Chengzi and the others were absolved of their crimes.

But these words evoked complex emotions in the eyes of Master Huanglong standing to the side.

He was born into the dragon race and was never favored by the Primordial Celestial Lord.

Among the Twelve Golden Immortals, he was the most unsuccessful.

He asked himself the same question.

If he were placed in Guang Chengzi's position, Yuanshi Tianzun would probably have already punished him.

After all, the Chan Sect has indeed lost a lot of face this time.

And Yuanshi Tianzun happened to be the most concerned about his reputation as a saint.

Regardless of what Master Huanglong thought about it.

However, Guang Chengzi and the others, upon hearing that Yuanshi Tianzun had absolved them of their crimes with just a few words, were greatly surprised.

The group bowed in thanks and rose to their feet.

"Sage teacher, what exactly is the background of the Lord of Yuanquan Mountain?"

"How can they possibly unleash that golden solar flame?!"

Then, Master Yuding couldn't help but ask a question.

At this moment, neither he nor Taiyi Zhenren looked well.

This is only natural.

His disciple Yang Jian lost an arm.

Given Yang Jian's regenerative abilities, he should be able to regenerate severed limbs after circulating the Nine Revolutions Divine Skill once.

But this time is different.

Because his left arm was burned by the innate divine fire of the sun's golden flames before he was cut off.

This is an injury to the Dao body, and even the Jade Cauldron Immortal has no way to recover from it.

As for Taiyi Zhenren, he was even more direct.

Not only was his disciple Nezha beaten up, but his innate spiritual treasure, the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover," was also taken away.

Therefore, at this moment, both of them naturally wanted to know Shi Yuan's identity.

"I tried to divine the origins of this person, but I could not find out."

Yuanshi Tianzun spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all the immortals present naturally changed.

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable, a sage of supreme status, personally performed the calculations.

But they couldn't figure out its origin.

That's enough to explain the problem.

"The golden flames of the sun... could it be those two from the West..."

Guang Chengzi suddenly realized the truth!

Even the immortals of the Chan Sect, including the Primordial Heavenly Lord, were unaware of the existence of the "Taiyin Refining Method".

Therefore, its focus is naturally on the sun's golden flames.

As is widely known, there is currently only one person in the Three Realms who possesses the Golden Flame of the Sun.

That was the former Golden Crow Tenth Prince, Lu Ya Dao Ren from the time of the Investiture of the Gods.

That is, the Buddha Vairocana in Buddhism today!

Even Guang Chengzi could conjure up a complete reason in his mind.

After the Investiture of the Gods, the Jie Sect declined.

Among the sages, the lineage of the Taiqing Sage is not large, with only one disciple.

The goddess Nuwa resides in the Nuwa Palace and does not concern herself with the Three Realms.

In the entire Three Realms, the two most powerful forces are naturally the two sides that benefited the most from the Investiture of the Gods war.

Chanjiao and Buddhism.

Therefore, the Buddhist sect took action against the Chan sect, seeking to seize control of the human world's fortune.

Only then did he send down Shiyuan and obtain the Golden Flame of the Sun from the Great Sun Tathagata Buddha.

This is perfectly reasonable and logical!

The remaining Golden Immortals, upon hearing this, also displayed expressions of righteous indignation.

"..."

However, the Primordial Celestial Venerable remained silent.

To be fair, this sage's thoughts were actually similar to those of Guang Chengzi.

Based on various sources, it is most likely that the Master of Nayuanquan Mountain is a Buddhist.

Moreover, Yuanshi Tianzun also knew that the two saints of Buddhism were indeed ambitious people.

If they were truly plotting against the Chan sect for the sake of the flourishing of Buddhism, it wouldn't be surprising.

Even so, Yuanshi Tianzun still felt that something was amiss.

Although he couldn't explain what was unusual about it.

But the thoughts of a sage are the will of Heaven.

Therefore, he did not actually express a clear opinion.

He then addressed Guang Chengzi and the others, saying, "Regardless of that person's origins, you are all to kill him this time."

Having said that, he also lightly pointed at Taiyi Zhenren and Yuding Zhenren.

"Your two disciples were injured by him, so intervening is just in the best interests of our Chan Sect."

Having said that, he pointed at Master Huanglong and said, "Huanglong, you will go with your two junior brothers to deal with that person."

Finally, he pointed at Guang Chengzi and said, "To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, you should stay behind and cover the rear."

This arrangement can be described as extremely luxurious.

The simultaneous emergence of three Golden Immortals from the Chan Sect is something that has almost never happened since the Investiture of the Gods.

Not to mention that three Great Luo Golden Immortals were working together to deal with a Taiyi True Immortal.

But ironically, everyone knew this was reasonable.

After all, Shi Yuan has already demonstrated his strength through his actions.

Although his cultivation level was only that of a Taiyi True Immortal.

However, the strength of his physical body and magical power was enough to crush Yang Jian, a powerful figure who was recognized as a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Not to mention that Shi Yuan also possesses the Golden Flame of the Sun and the newly acquired Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover.

Although the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect have cultivated for so many years.

But honestly... their methods might not actually have the same depth and sophistication as Shi Yuan's.

In a one-on-one situation, none of the three dared to claim victory.

And if we also need to prevent the other party from escaping.

Therefore, it would be the safest option for three Golden Immortals to take action.

They even did this to prevent the true Buddhist sect from plotting against Shi Yuan behind his back.

Yuanshi Tianzun also sent Guangchengzi, a quasi-sage, to oversee the operation.

However, after Yuanshi Tianzun uttered these words...

Others, however, had no other intentions.

However, Master Huanglong felt a surge of anger in his heart!

For such renowned figures in the Three Realms to make a move, they naturally need to maintain a respectable image.

The actions of Master Yu Ding and Master Tai Yi were well-reasoned.

One of them injured his disciple, and the other demanded a magic weapon; neither of them could explain the problem.

But what about Huanglong Zhenren?

What kind of logic is it for him to make a move without any reason?

Even if he wins, how will he still have any face left?

What annoyed him most was that among the remaining fellow disciples...

The Primordial Celestial Venerable actually summoned only Huanglong to humiliate him!

This naturally infuriated him.

But Huang Long never expected this.

What angered him even more was yet to come.

After Yuanshi Tianzun finished assigning duties to everyone.

Then, this sage of the Chan sect pointed his finger.

A drop of divine water radiating gold, silver, and purple light fell from his hand.

·····

It landed in front of Jade Cauldron Immortal.

Upon seeing this water, Master Yuding's eyes immediately lit up with delight!

He recognized it, of course.

This drop of divine water was actually the number one holy medicine in the Three Realms—the Three Lights Divine Water!

This water is brewed using the light of the sun, moon, and stars, and only the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle in the hands of the Primordial Celestial Venerable can be used to brew it in the Three Realms.

Even a single drop can cure any injury or illness.

"Yu Ding, take this drop of the Three Lights Divine Water and give it to your disciple."

"The Primordial Celestial Venerable said softly."

Immediately following, this sage did not wait for the Jade Cauldron Immortal to express his gratitude.

He then continued speaking.

"This matter concerns the reputation of our Chan Sect—what happened before must not be repeated."

"You shall keep these two treasures."

"After you kill that person, return him to your master."

After saying that, he pointed.

Two objects flew directly from in front of him to in front of Jade Cauldron Immortal and Taiyi Immortal.

Those were a white jade ruyi and a bright yellow flag.

As soon as these two items appeared, even Guang Chengzi couldn't sit still.

As immortals of the Chan Sect, they could not possibly be unaware of these two treasures.

........................

That white jade ruyi is the spiritual treasure of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable—the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi!

The origin of this item is not simple.

In ancient times, before the Three Pure Ones had caused such a disturbance, things had changed.

The three of them once found a magical treasure in the ancient primordial era.

It was none other than the 'Twelve-Petaled Pure Lotus,' one of the five innate lotus platforms of heaven and earth.

At that time, the Three Pure Ones were indeed as close as brothers, so none of them wanted to monopolize this spiritual treasure.

Therefore, in the end, the three of them sought help from the Dao Ancestor.

The Dao Ancestor then used his great magical power to divide the twelve-petaled Pure World Lotus into three parts.

It transformed into three top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

The lotus flower transformed into a whisk.

The lotus root transformed into a ruyi (a traditional Chinese ornament symbolizing good fortune).

The lotus leaf transformed into a sword.

Those were the three treasures that made the Three Pure Ones famous: the Taiyi whisk, the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, and the Qingping sword!

Therefore, later generations said: "Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves, the three religions are originally one family."

Given its origins, the power of this Three Treasures Jade Ruyi is self-evident.

When it is personally driven by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, even a saint would not fare well if he were hit.

"Yu Ding, you shall take charge of these three treasures, the Jade Ruyi."

After taking out this treasure, Yuanshi Tianzun also spoke to Yu Ding Zhenren.

Then, the jade ruyi was handed to him.

Master Yu Ding naturally accepted it respectfully.

Then, Yuanshi Tianzun turned his gaze to the second spiritual treasure.

That is, that bright yellow flag.

All eyes were drawn to this flag.

After all, if we're talking about importance, this flag is far more remarkable.

This is the "Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag," one of the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth!

As for the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth, they are truly of extraordinary significance.

These are five spiritual treasures born of heaven and earth.

They are the 'Northern - Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag', 'Southern - Li Di Yan Guang Flag', 'Western - Plain Cloud Realm Flag', 'Eastern - Azure Lotus Treasure Flag', and 'Central - Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Flag'.

Each corresponds to one of the five elements: water, fire, metal, wood, and earth, as well as the five directions of heaven and earth.

Each one is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

This Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner, for example, is extremely extraordinary.

Its ability to manipulate the earth's veins and mountain energy is extremely powerful.

In terms of defensive capabilities, it is among the best in the Three Realms.

However, the most precious aspect of the Five Banners of Heaven and Earth is not actually this.

But their other identity lies in the fact that these five flags all possess the power to suppress destiny!

These are all extremely precious "treasures for suppressing destiny"! I.
