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

On the thirty-third heaven, Haotian frowned, and with a wave of his hand, Donghua's figure appeared in the Haotian Mirror.

"Where did this cultivator come from, daring to trespass into the Heavenly Court!"

As Haotian was pondering whether to show his respect for scholars by personally receiving them, or to display the majesty of the Heavenly Court by directly annihilating them, he felt the spiritual energy between heaven and earth vibrate. Looking up, he saw Li Qing flying out from that vast world.

Behind Li Qing, a purple aura stretched from the east for 30,000 miles, and the sound of a bull mooing announced that Laozi was right here watching, one of Li Qing's powerful backers.

Li Qing let out a long roar, proclaiming to the world: "The witches and demons have been destroyed, the Heavenly Court has been newly established, and everything is in need of rebuilding. If the Heavenly Court is to operate in an orderly manner, then each deity must perform their respective duties."

I, Xuanqiong, the second disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Jie Sect, am moved by this and wish to establish the Great Dao of Immortals, confer titles upon Heavenly Gods, wield the power of Heaven and Earth, and assist the Six Emperors in governing the Primordial World!

Those who cultivate my divine path can ascend to the Heavenly Court and become immortals! From this day forward, I shall be the progenitor of all immortals!

As Li Qing's voice fell, a monstrous wave suddenly surged in the river of fate.

A golden light shot into the sky from the depths of the long river, its radiance dazzling and containing the most orthodox power of authority in the world.

Amidst the light, a Dao Fruit slowly rose, shaped like a seal, golden in color, with countless divine runes flowing across its surface.

Thunder patterns from the Thunder Department, star patterns from the Dipper Department, blazing patterns from the Fire Department, and plague patterns from the Plague Department—three hundred and sixty-five divine patterns intertwine and swirl on the surface of the Dao Fruit, each corresponding to a certain authority of the Heavenly Court.

Wherever the Dao Fruit passes, the threads of cause and effect in the long river of destiny all give way.

High above the heavens, the celestial order trembled. A Qilin, carrying the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Clan, descended from the sky and landed within Li Qing's auspicious clouds.

Li Qing raised his hand and accepted the fruit, feeling a vast power of authority surge into his body, merging with the laws of his world.

At the same time, the profound merits poured down from the heavens, cascading into his auspicious clouds like a waterfall.

The merit he accumulated was three times greater than when he established the Ghost Immortal Path in the Netherworld.

In the beginning was the Word, and God was with the Word. The path of the immortals is different from the ascension and attainment of enlightenment of the celestial immortals, different from the rooting of the earth immortals in the earth, and even more different from the cultivation in the netherworld of the ghost immortals.

The essence of the path to immortality lies in observing the way of Heaven, acting in accordance with Heaven, exercising the authority of Heaven, and conforming to the laws of Heaven and Earth.

The Heavenly Dao hoped that the Divine Path would emerge in the primordial world. Unfortunately, during the ancient Daoist debate, Dao Ancestor Hongjun stood out from the crowd, suppressing all the innate deities who could not raise their heads. In the end, they felt that the Immortal Path was better and all turned to it.

Although Li Qing has established a method for cultivating immortality through acquired means, it is still a good thing for the Heavenly Dao, so it generously bestows merit upon him.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. The next moment, Li Qing had already begun to spread the cultivation methods of the Immortal Path.

"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xuanqiong."

Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals, let out a long roar, and the Way of the Earth Immortals and the Way of the Gods shone brightly.

Inside the Pixiang Palace, Haotian's face darkened.

Li Qing is the Great Emperor Gouchen, whose rank is second only to the Heavenly Emperor. If he were to bring a group of immortals with him, would his words still carry any weight in the Heavenly Court?

"How infuriating! Such a momentous matter was not even discussed with me! In this Heavenly Court, who is the master, you or me?!"

Haotian slammed his hand on the armrest, his fear of Li Qing reaching its peak.

He would rather the Heavenly Court be an empty shell and him, Haotian, be a commander without troops than let Li Qing gain power!

"Senior brother, please calm down. Even if the creatures of the primordial world practice his methods, they may still be able to use them for my own purposes."

Yaochi's voice was calm, soothing Haotian's anger.

Haotian regained his senses, and with a wave of his hand, the Haotian Mirror shone brightly. Time reversed in the Pixiang Palace, and the armrest that he had shattered was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.

"I have devoted myself to the Heavenly Court; I cannot allow him to seize power so easily. Junior Sister, how are the Peaches of Immortality?"

"Not ripe yet."

Yaochi shook her head. She knew what Haotian wanted to do, but the peaches were only branches of the Renshui peach tree. If she forced them to grow, she was afraid that it would damage the source.

"That's alright. It will take time for his divine path to spread and for immortals to enter the Heavenly Court. When it's about time, we'll hold a Peach Banquet to gather these immortals together!"

Haotian calculated the time and then summoned Venus.

"Taibai, from this day forward, you shall begin preparations for the establishment of the Dipper Department. The Twenty-Eight Constellation Star Officials, the Nine Luminaries Star Lords, and the Five Dipper Star Lords shall all be appointed and appointed as soon as possible."

Venus was in his prime at the time, his sword aura soaring to the sky, incredibly sharp, and he loved fighting. So he gladly accepted the order and hurriedly left.

Haotian stood at the window of the Lingxiao Palace, gazing silently at the surging sea of ​​clouds outside.

He had the Peach Banquet, but he also needed an opportunity to establish his authority and let everyone in Heaven know who was the true ruler of Heaven.

Yaochi was by his side, sharing his joys and sorrows.

Li Qing was completely unaware that Haotian had always regarded him as a hypothetical enemy. After establishing the Great Dao of Immortality, he arranged for Donghua to cultivate in the Sun Palace, and then he remembered something else.

"In my early years, I established the Shenxiao Sect in Wuyi Mountain and passed down the Thunder Magic. Now that the path to immortality has been established, I can allow the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect to enter the Heavenly Court and take charge of the Thunder Department. This can be considered a successful completion of my mission."

So he took out a talisman, wrote the divine duties of the Thunder Gods on it with the Dao Fruit of the Immortal Sect, raised his hand and waved it, and the talisman turned into a golden light and flew towards Wuyi Mountain.

In the Wuyi Mountains, disciples of the Shangqing Shenxiao School are practicing.

Since Li Qing founded his sect here, passed down the Thunder Technique, and took in a group of human disciples, the Shenxiao Sect has taken root in Wuyi Mountain.

During the great calamity of the human race, everyone came out of the mountains to save people. The Tongtian Sect Leader personally supervised the rescue, which prevented the demon race from causing further harm.

Although the Shenxiao Sect cannot compare to the grand occasion of the Jie Sect where ten thousand immortals came to pay homage, its disciples are all skilled in thunder magic, rarely appear in the world, and do not cause trouble, making it a peaceful place.

On this day, a golden light descended from the sky and landed in front of the Shenxiao Sect's mountain gate.

The golden light dissipated, transforming into a talisman. The talisman clearly read: "By imperial decree of the Great Emperor Gouchen, the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect are hereby appointed as the Righteous Gods of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court, in charge of the thunder and lightning of heaven and earth, and to carry out punishments on behalf of Heaven."

The sect leader of Shenxiao Sect sensed the aura of his ancestor, accepted the talisman, examined it carefully three times to confirm its accuracy, and then summoned the disciples to inform them of the matter.

"Our patriarch intends to establish the Thunder Department in Heaven and has summoned us to serve there. This is an immense opportunity, and it also shows how highly our patriarch regards us. Those who wish to go can come with me to Heaven. Those who do not wish to go can remain in Wuyi Mountain and continue their cultivation."

In the end, the thirty-six disciples with the highest cultivation levels from the Shenxiao Sect ascended to heaven with Xuan Cang and were appointed as the main gods of the Thunder Department by Li Qing. Xuan Qing was appointed as the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens, in charge of thunder and lightning, and to carry out punishments on behalf of Heaven.
