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

In the Shangqing Hall, the Tongtian Sect Leader sat on a cloud bed. After his disciples paid their respects, he waved his hand and led them to the Sanqing Hall.

"You have come to pay your respects to our two senior masters!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader introduced Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, and everyone dared not be negligent. After paying their respects, Yuanshi Tianzun also instructed the disciples of the Chan Sect to pay their respects to the Tongtian Sect Leader, and the disciples of the Chan and Jie Sects greeted each other.

Manjushri looked at Li Qing, who was ranked after Duobao, and his face became unnatural.

In front of Kunlun Mountain, he had given the other party a good scolding. He thought that Li Qing would not be able to enter the Jie Sect, and even if he did, his status would not be very high. He did not expect that the other party would directly become the personal disciple of the Tongtian Sect Master!

Moreover, among the disciples recruited that batch, he ranked first. If it weren't for Daoist Duobao, who had followed Master Tongtian for a long time, Li Qing would have become the senior disciple of the Jie Sect!

Moreover, what Manjushri found most unacceptable was that Li Qing had already broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, while he was still stuck in the Golden Immortal realm!

Lingya Xian seemed to see the discontent in Manjushri's eyes and sneered inwardly, "Can't stand it already? If you knew that Senior Brother Xuanqiong had already comprehended the Dao of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and received a treasure bestowed by the Dao Ancestor, wouldn't you be even more upset!"

Li Qing glanced at Manjushri, then quickly looked away. Even without setting up the Tai Chi Formation, Manjushri was no match for him in his current state.

As for the future Investiture of the Gods, the more he looked at it in the prehistoric world, the more confusing it seemed. There seemed to be other secrets among the Three Pure Ones. Perhaps only when he reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm could he see it more clearly.

"Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal are merely the foundation. Reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal level is when one truly enters the realm of Xuanmen cultivation. There's no need to rush; let's see how long he can remain arrogant!"

Manjushri was even more furious when he saw that Li Qing seemed to care about him at all. However, he was, after all, a disciple carefully selected by the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and his character was profound. In the blink of an eye, he regained his peaceful state of mind.

"The gathering of us disciples today demonstrates the flourishing of the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect. Excellent!"

At the head of the table, Lao Tzu looked down at his disciples from the Chan and Jie sects and gently stroked his beard.

Although some of the disciples under the Tongtian Sect Master had considerable karmic burdens that displeased him, he didn't say much at this moment. He directly issued a decree, and soon after, golden light shone brightly in the western sky, accompanied by the sound of chanting and the fragrance of lotus blossoms.

A ship from the other shore broke through the sky, with the Taoist Zhunti holding the Seven Treasures Tree at the bow, followed by a group of Western Sect disciples, each surrounded by golden light.

"You two sages have come from afar, my teacher."

Duobao and Nanjizi bowed and paid their respects.

Zhunti Daoist's gaze lingered on Duobao for a moment, a hint of appreciation appearing in his eyes.

"This is the eldest disciple of Fellow Daoist Tongtian? Truly extraordinary."

Duobao respectfully replied, "You flatter me, Your Majesty."

Zhunti Daoist's mind raced for a moment, then he laughed and pointed with his hand. A golden lotus bloomed before Duobao, its surface covered with layers of divine patterns.

"As expected, Fellow Daoist Tongtian has many talented disciples. I possess a scroll of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique, which is used to cultivate an indestructible physical body. It is fate that I have met you today, so I will bestow it upon you as a protective method."

On Mount Kunlun, the Tongtian Sect Leader curled his lip. What was Zhunti thinking when he saw that Zhunti had left the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts to his disciples? First it was Li Qing, and now it's Duobao.

However, Duobao was a primordial spiritual treasure in human form, and had reached the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. Cultivating and refining the body was also an option for him, so he said, "Take it. I will handle the consequences."

Duobao then accepted the golden lotus and bowed again, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please follow me, Your Majesty."

Zhunti Daoist nodded in satisfaction and, together with Jieyin Daoist, led the Western Sect members up Kunlun Mountain.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable closed his phoenix eyes slightly, concealing the glint in them. His thoughts were even deeper than those of the Tongtian Sect Master.

Everyone in the primordial world knows what kind of person Yuanshi Tianzun is, and the disciples he takes in are all carefully selected. Zhunti Daoist only praises Duobao and treats Nanji Zi as nothing. Could it be that he is trying to sow discord between him and Tongtian?

"Greetings, fellow Daoists!"

This was the first time the Guide Daoist had spoken since ascending Mount Kunlun. His voice was like a gentle spring breeze, capable of sweeping away the dust clouding the Daoist heart of those in cultivation.

Laozi raised his eyes and glanced at the Guide Daoist: "Fellow Daoist Guide, Fellow Daoist Zhunti, please lead your disciples to their seats!"

"Good, good!"

Zhunti Daoist put his hands together in prayer and sat down on the cloud bed in the guest area with Jieyin Daoist.

"Junior Sister Nuwa has arrived, Xuanqiong, go and greet her."

Lao Tzu's gaze seemed to pierce through the ages as he instructed Li Qing to go and greet Nuwa.

"Respect the Dharma!"

Li Qing dared not delay and left the main hall, traveling to the outskirts of Kunlun Mountain.

Before long, the sky was filled with red light, and a figure came riding on the clouds. Nuwa was dressed in a five-colored robe, holding a red embroidered ball in her hand. Holy light flowed around her, and her expression was calm. Behind her were two children, a boy and a girl, both dressed in bright red.

"Disciple Xuanqiong greets Martial Aunt Nuwa."

Li Qing dared not be negligent and hurriedly bowed.

Nuwa's gaze fell on Li Qing, and she paused slightly.

"So you are Xuanqiong, a disciple of Senior Brother Tongtian? Not bad. You have only been cultivating for a few years, yet you have already comprehended the Dao Heart. This level of understanding is worthy of the Dao title bestowed upon you by the Dao Ancestor."

Li Qing respectfully replied, "Uncle-Master, you flatter me."

"When a sage speaks, his words are the Way; I am not exaggerating."

Nuwa smiled slightly, and in the flow of heavenly secrets, she seemed to understand Laozi's intention in sending Li Qing. She immediately asked, "Do you have the ambition to attain the Primordial Chaos?"

"Who among us cultivators doesn't yearn to attain the Great Golden Immortal realm and live a carefree life?"

Li Qing's eyes widened, his heart pounding as he looked at Nuwa, wondering what she meant by those words.

Nuwa casually took a colorful, sparkling pebble from her wrist and handed it to Li Qing.

"Since you have this ambition, I also believe you have the ability. After you break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, come to Nuwa Palace to find me. I have a task for you to do."

Nuwa glanced at the sky, and the Taiji diagram above Kunlun Mountain slowly rotated: "After this is accomplished, I will bestow upon you a great fortune, enough to increase your hope of attaining enlightenment by ten percent. How about it? Don't worry, it won't endanger your life."

Li Qing's heart was beating faster and faster. Although he was still a Taiyi Golden Immortal, after comprehending the Dao of the Great Luo, he knew that without attaining the Dao of the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal, he would never be able to live a carefree life!

However, Li Qing also knew how difficult it was to attain the Dao of the Primordial Golden Immortal. Even the Three Pure Ones, the Two Sages, Fuxi, Nuwa, Dijun, Taiyi and others had not been able to do it. For someone like him with an ordinary background, it would probably take an unknown amount of time before he could even have a chance to attain the Dao!

However, the fact that Nuwa spoke gave him a sliver of hope meant that Li Qing could not refuse!

"This disciple is willing!"

"good!"

Nuwa said no more, and led by Li Qing, she rode the clouds straight into Kunlun Mountain.
