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

"May I ask, teacher, is the demon race saint simply going to let this matter drop?"

Guang Chengzi naturally knew how much this matter offended the goddess Nuwa.

Upon hearing these words, Yuanshi Tianzun finally showed a slight smile.

"Of course not!"

"The matter of the Ten Princes of the Golden Crow in the past is something even I, your master, do not know the cause and effect of."

That event directly led to the complete outbreak of the Lich War.

It is indeed a great mystery in the Three Realms, and it is almost certain that other saints secretly intervened.

"At this point, it seems that the Jie Sect is related to it."

"Upon learning of this, even if Junior Sister Nuwa doesn't directly antagonize the Jie Sect, she will undoubtedly develop a deep aversion to them..."

When Yuanshi Tianzun said this, his mind was also clear!

A sage's plans are not for a single moment, but for a thousand years to come!

Given the current state of the Jie Sect, Nuwa naturally wouldn't seek revenge for the past actions of the demon race.

After all, if she were to retaliate now, the Tongtian Sect Leader, who was also penniless, would surely fight her to the death.

Therefore, she will not kill Shi Yuan directly now.

But by directly injuring Shi Yuan, she was expressing a stance.

From this day forward, her relationship with the Jie Sect will certainly not be friendly.

If it can be confirmed that the Jie Sect was indeed the mastermind behind the fall of the ten princes of the Golden Crow Sect.

Then Nuwa might actually be in complete opposition to the Jie Sect!

For Yuanshi Tianzun, this was undoubtedly great news.

Even if we don't need it this time, what about the future?

A thousand years later? Ten thousand years later?

The saints live on forever, and this grudge will be settled sooner or later!

The only problem, if there is one, is...

"That Shiyuan has actually broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm... Tongtian's disciple is indeed extraordinary."

Yuanshi Tianzun also acknowledged this point.

He was certain that the other party must have some great opportunity, but even so... how long has it been since he broke through from Taiyi True Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal?

"Teachers need not worry!"

But Guang Chengzi was extremely confident at this moment: "So what if I'm a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

"If there's a next time, teacher, just wait and see how I defeat him!"

He was naturally extremely confident.

He is a powerful quasi-saint who has severed two of his corpses and is very close to severing a third.

Even though Shi Yuan had previously displayed extremely powerful supernatural abilities, he was merely a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

In his view, it was nothing special.

It's just a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, doesn't he have one?

One Heaven-Turning Seal is not his only trump card!

Even in that previous battle, if Zhao Gongming and his two companions hadn't suddenly appeared...

Guang Chengzi believed that Shi Yuan had most likely been killed by his Fan Tian Seal.

Yuanshi Tianzun did not respond to Guangchengzi's words.

He simply closed his eyes slowly, letting his mind wander through the world.

But deep down, I had a vague premonition.

That is, although he has not yet been able to find any clues.

But the "next time" that Guang Chengzi mentioned is probably not too far away.

They were unaware of the speculations made by Guang Chengzi and Yuanshi Tianzun, master and disciple, within the Jade Void Palace.

Beside a clear stream in Yuanquan Mountain.

"Wow! Ruri, you've really gotten so much better!"

Yuanling is playing hide-and-seek with the little fox demon Liuli.

She smiled adorably, looking at the little fox demon with innocent wonder: "And your crown is so beautiful..."

As she spoke, she glanced at the little fox's fluffy tail.

At this moment, on its tail, it was wearing an ancient and magnificent phoenix crown.

"Hmph! I told you so!"

At this moment, the little fox said energetically, "This crown was left by my ancestors. As long as I wear it, I can quickly become stronger!"

That's right—the little fox's cultivation level has already made a huge leap within a year.

Originally, she was considered to have the lowest cultivation level among the four lesser demons.

I have just stepped into the realm of Returning to Emptiness.

However, her magical power and cultivation have now reached the level of transcending tribulation.

Of the four lesser demons, the python demon "Red Spirit" and the locust tree demon "Locust Heart" are no match for her.

Moreover, judging from this, it's estimated that he won't be long before he forges his immortal foundation and becomes an earth immortal.

However, as the little fox spoke energetically, its two fox ears drooped down again.

"Sigh... But even with the precious crown, my cultivation speed still can't keep up with Brother Xuanchi and Sister Taixi."

Liuli looked listless and lost all interest in continuing the game of hide-and-seek.

"Little Liuli, you haven't given up on defeating us yet?"

But just then, a soft laugh reached Yuanling and Liuli's ears.

The two quickly turned their heads and saw Tai Xi, who was smiling, and Xuan Chi, who had a cool little face, standing not far away.

"Senior Sister Taixi, Senior Brother Xuanchi!"

Upon seeing the two, Yuanling exclaimed with delight, "You guys came to play too!?"

The little fox Liuli puffed out her cheeks and said, "It's not that I want to defeat Sister Taixi, but the Mountain Lord said that my cultivation aptitude must catch up with yours before you will accept me as your disciple."

Over the past year, Tai Xi and Xuan Chi have frequently traveled within Yuanquan Mountain.

The other three little demons were more or less mature and mostly respected Tai Xi and Xuan Chi.

The relationship wasn't distant, but it certainly wasn't close either.

But Liuli, with her innocent heart, is different.

She harbored the dream of becoming a disciple of Shiyuan and often inquired about Taixi Xuanchi's cultivation level, secretly comparing herself to him.

Tai Xi and Xuan Chi were actually only born recently.

Over time, the three of them developed a very close relationship within a year.

"The teacher was just saying that casually."

When Tai Xi heard the little fox's persistent words, she shook her head: "Besides, when our teacher returned, he asked us to come and call you over."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Liuli was stunned.

Instead, Yuan Ling suddenly jumped up: "Master is back?"

She excitedly asked to go to Shiyuan Pavilion to see Shiyuan—and of course, to ask for some fun things along the way.

However, before she could even move, Tai Xi grabbed her by the back of the neck and collar.

"Yuanling, your teacher said you've been too lazy lately, and he asked my junior brother and me to take you to cultivate!"

Tai Xi's smiling words sounded like the voice of a demon to Yuan Ling!

"Cultivation!?"

She gasped and struggled to get up.

But Tai Xi ignored her and simply instructed Liu Li again, "Teacher is in Shiyuan Pavilion, you may go there."

Having said that, he vanished in a flash.

Xuan Chi, who had maintained a cool demeanor, nodded to Liu Li, indicating, "Don't worry."

He suddenly said, "You're my friend, so the teacher will give me face..."

Before he could finish speaking, Tai Xi suddenly appeared and grabbed his collar, disappearing with a 'whoosh'.

And so, all that remained in this place was the helpless Liuli.

Her fox-like eyes, as clear as jade, were filled with tension.

"The mountain lord wants to see me..."

After a long pause, she finally mustered up her courage.

With just a few leaps, they headed towards Shiyuan Pavilion.

Not long after, the little fox finally entered the pavilion with small steps.

Then, she saw Shi Yuan sitting upright on the platform inside the pavilion, smiling at her.

"...It really is a tribulation."

Although I had sensed the little fox's cultivation level long before it arrived.

However, upon seeing it with his own eyes, Shi Yuan was still surprised.

To go from the Void Returning stage to the peak of the Tribulation Transcending stage in just one year is something no minor demon could accomplish.

"The opportunity that Goddess Nuwa spoke of must be that phoenix crown, right?"

Shi Yuan's gaze naturally fell upon the magnificent phoenix crown on the little fox's tail.

The closer you look, the better.

Shi Yuan was even more surprised.

His eyesight is excellent, and his cultivation has now reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Therefore, at a glance, one can naturally discern the profound significance of this phoenix crown.

I highly recommend "The Primordial Era: A Man in the Jie Sect, Becoming a Disciple of Tongtian"! It's straight to the exciting part.
