Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

As merit descended, Ksitigarbha bowed his head and lowered his eyes.

Once these merits are refined, it will be natural for him to sever his benevolent corpse.

But he couldn't!

With a wave of his sleeve, the profound merit condensed into a dragon, which directly crashed into the calamity energy that was gradually approaching the Netherworld.

In an instant, a chilling, piercing scream echoed through the heavens and earth.

When the Styx Ancestor opened his eyes and saw Ksitigarbha in the Netherworld, he was not surprised, as he had already expected it.

"How could this kid be from the Asura race, which I created?"

This was the only thing that puzzled the Styx Ancestor.

Even he wouldn't easily give up these merits, but Ksitigarbha just gave them up like that. It's simply not like an Asura at all!

The merits and karmic debts of the Xuanhuang sect clashed with the resentment and grievances. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva slowly began to recite the scriptures of the Western Paradise, and lotus flowers grew beneath his seat, gradually transforming it into the Western Pure Land.

"That saves me the trouble."

On Jin'ao Island, the Tongtian Sect Leader withdrew his obsession, looked at Ksitigarbha, and nodded.

The six sages had developed a certain tacit understanding since the last great calamity of the human race when they fought against the Heavenly Dao together.

Although Jieyin and Zhunti acted in accordance with the Way of Heaven, they were, after all, saints, and possessed their own pride. They would not degenerate into mere followers who only knew how to wave the flag and shout for the Way of Heaven.

Therefore, for the Three Pure Ones, who have far-reaching plans, the two Western Saints may well be forces to be won over.

Therefore, when Ksitigarbha entered the underworld, he still contributed his efforts, activating merits and resolving the lingering karmic resentment and anger that impacted the underworld, so the Tongtian Sect Leader did not stop him.

However, while the Three Pure Ones did not stop her, Consort Pingxin did want to ask her some questions.

She was afraid that the two Western Saints would take advantage of her and try to claim another share of the power, which she could not tolerate!

"What is the meaning of this, fellow Daoist from the West?"

The voice of the Guide came from Mount Sumeru, carrying a hint of compassion: "Fellow Daoist Pingxin, Ksitigarbha made a great vow to find a place for our Buddhist community to settle down and live in the cycle of reincarnation. There is no intention of offense. I hope you will do me a favor."

The Daoist Zhunti also spoke up, saying, "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva opened up the Pure Land with the power of his great vows, protecting the souls of the deceased, which is beneficial and harmless to the cycle of reincarnation. Since you, fellow Daoist, are in charge of reincarnation, you should know that compassion and guiding sentient beings are acts of immeasurable merit. Why do you need to obstruct me?"

"Oh? Should I thank him then?"

Pingxin frowned. The two Western Saints didn't mention what she was most worried about. Could it be that they were taking advantage of her because she wasn't a Saint?

With this thought in mind, Lady Pingxin drew her Samsara Sword, preparing to ask the other party what their true intentions were.

At this moment, on Mount Kunlun, the Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke: "Ksitigarbha is fulfilling his great vow in the Netherworld. If anyone dares to overstep his bounds in the slightest, he will be banished from the Netherworld!"

Empress Pingxin glanced at Mount Kunlun, then at Mount Sumeru, and snorted coldly, "So it is over there!"

Ksitigarbha sat cross-legged in the Pure Land, closed his eyes, and began his countless years of tireless work of guiding and liberating beings.

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the two Western Saints, who nodded back. All the Saints were tacitly carrying out some tasks.

……

In the chaos, the Great Thousand World, created by the six sages working together, hangs in the void like a giant pearl, radiating a hazy, clear light, surrounding the primordial world.

Lao Tzu sat atop Tianzhu Peak at the center of the world, with the Tai Chi diagram hanging above his head, and the Yin and Yang energies swirling like two dragons. He closed his eyes, his divine sense slowly merging with the Dao of this world, comprehending the laws governing the operation of heaven and earth.

Li Qing sat cross-legged on a stone platform halfway up Tianzhu Peak. The World Tree slowly grew amidst his auspicious clouds, its roots penetrating deep into the soil of that miniature world, its branches stretching towards the sky, echoing the sun, moon, and stars of this world.

He was waiting for Lao Tzu to establish the Path of Celestial Immortals, waiting for the first Celestial Immortal to attain enlightenment, and waiting for what he was supposed to do.

The human race that was moved into this world back then, due to the world's suppression, has civilization that remains at the level it was when they first entered, but their cultivation methods have become legends and are hard to find.

Laozi took out a ray of spiritual light from his sleeve. Within that light, a phantom sat cross-legged, with a gaunt face and a faint purple aura surrounding him. It was none other than the true spirit of the Eastern King Duke that Laozi had taken away years ago.

"It's time for you to be born and impart the celestial path to immortality to me!"

Laozi flicked his finger, and the spiritual light flew from his fingertip and fell into a pool of water at the foot of Tianzhu Peak.

The pool water churned, and spiritual light merged into it, harmonizing with the spiritual energy of this world.

The tender shoots broke through the soil and grew rapidly in the wind, transforming into an infant in no time.

The baby was born and cried loudly, the sound echoing all around.

Li Qing opened his eyes, looked at the pool, and a thought struck him.

The true spirit of the Eastern King Duke merged with the spiritual energy of this world and was reborn. Although he was no longer the head of the male immortals, his roots remained and his aptitude was outstanding, making him the best candidate to cultivate the Path of the Celestial Immortal.

So, is Lao Tzu preparing to preach?

Lao Tzu looked at the infant and a smile appeared on his face.

"In your past life you were called the Eastern King Duke, so in this life you shall be called Donghua."

The baby stopped crying, opened its eyes, and its eyes shone brightly, as if it had understood Lao Tzu's words.

Immediately afterward, Lao Tzu began to expound on the Great Dao of Celestial Immortality, and the spiritual energy of the entire world surged and condensed into rain.

Donghua has cultivated the Path of Celestial Immortality for a hundred years and has already touched the threshold of Celestial Immortality.

On this day, at the summit of Tianzhu Peak, Laozi sat upright on his cloud bed, with Li Qing standing beside him.

Donghua knelt at the foot of the steps, his body shimmering with spiritual light. Above his head, a golden core was faintly visible amidst the auspicious clouds, emitting a faint golden glow.

"With the completion of the Nine-Turn Elixir of Donghua, I ascend to immortality. My Celestial Immortal Path now has a successor. Heaven is above, and the world is changing. I create a new method to replace the method of Hongjun. From this day forward, I am the Dao Ancestor!"

Lao Tzu let out a long roar, breaking the connection between this vast world and the primordial wilderness.

As Lao Tzu finished speaking, a wave surged in the river of destiny. The merits of the Heavenly Immortal Path descended from the sky, pouring down like a waterfall and falling into Lao Tzu's auspicious clouds.

Laozi raised his hand and split the pillar of merit in two. Seventy percent was absorbed into his own auspicious cloud, twenty percent transformed into a golden light that fell into Li Qing's auspicious cloud, and the last ten percent fell into Donghua's hand.

Within Li Qingqing's clouds, the Dao Fruit of the Ancestor of Ghost Immortals, having obtained the fortune of the Heavenly Immortal Great Dao, became increasingly ethereal and unpredictable.

Laozi looked at Li Qing and nodded slightly: "Now it's your turn."

Li Qing naturally understood what Lao Tzu meant when he said that the Great Dao of Immortals would be born. So he raised his hand and a golden light flew out from his palm, transforming into a golden road that led directly from the Great Thousand Worlds to the Southern Heavenly Gate of the Heavenly Court.

"Fellow Daoist Donghua, ascend to the Primordial Heavenly Court!"

Donghua nodded, stepped onto the golden road, passed through chaos and the sea of ​​clouds, and landed in front of the South Heavenly Gate.

Li Qing pointed his finger, and a cultivation method of immortality appeared in Donghua's mind.

"Go and ascend!"

The next moment, Donghua was enveloped by a pillar of light.
