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

The Kunlun Mountains are majestic and imposing, just as solemn and dignified as when Li Qing first arrived.

However, after entering the Kunlun Mountains, Li Qing's brows furrowed slightly.

Compared to when he left Kunlun Mountain this time, Kunlun Mountain has clearly lost some of its natural simplicity and gained more human presence.

Not only Li Qing, but Yunxiao also frowned slightly.

As the five walked toward the cave, they saw several newly initiated disciples of the Jie Sect gathering ginseng and sesame seeds to refine elixirs.

"Senior brother, junior brother Xuantan, junior sister Yunxiao, junior sister Bixiao, junior sister Qiongxiao, you're back."

Jin Ling and Wu Dang had both emerged from seclusion and rushed to greet Li Qing and the others upon their return.

"Hey, senior brother, what's with your aura? Is this the mid-stage or late-stage of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm? It can't be the Daluo Golden Immortal realm, can it? Why do I feel that your aura is so profound, it's almost like Senior Brother Duobao's!"

When Jin Ling saw Li Qing, she was taken aback. Her eyes flashed with spiritual light as she sensed that Li Qing's aura was ethereal and was immediately surprised.

It had only been less than 20,000 years since they last met, and Jin Ling could already sense that Li Qing had changed drastically!

Wu Dang's usually indifferent expression wavered, and he looked at Li Qing.

"Greetings, Junior Sister Jinling and Junior Sister Wudang."

Li Qing returned the greeting and said with a smile, "I only managed to break through to the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal by sheer luck. I'm still a long way from becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal."

When Wu Dang spoke, his words were as natural and harmonious as the bright moon and gentle breeze: "Aside from those who are born as Great Luo Golden Immortals, Senior Brother's cultivation speed is top-notch in my experience. I don't believe it's just luck."

"Our cultivation is a process of taking one step at a time; there is truly no room for luck. Senior brother, please don't be so modest!"

Jin Ling laughed heartily, while Li Qing smiled and shook his head.

Bixiao jumped out and grabbed Jinling's hand: "Hahaha, Senior Sister Jinling, you only saw Senior Brother's breakthrough in cultivation, didn't you see that Qiongxiao and I are also about to break through to Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

"Of course I saw it. You also know about cultivation. Very good, very good!"

Jin Ling pulled Bi Xiao and Qiong Xiao together, Wu Dang and Yun Xiao stood together, and Li Qing and Zhao Gongming stood together, chatting about everything under the sun and discussing profound truths. Before long, Wu Yun Xian and others came out of seclusion. The disciples of the Jie Sect exchanged their cultivation experiences and enjoyed themselves immensely.

However, before everyone could relax for long, a violent surge of magical power and a deafening roar suddenly emanated from Mount Kunlun.

Li Qing stood up and looked up. He saw that the Jade Purity Immortal Light and the Upper Purity Immortal Light were shining in the area where the Chan Sect was located, and there was also the collision of spiritual light from innate spiritual treasures.

"What's going on? We haven't heard of any debates between the Chan and Jie sects in recent years. Could it be a private feud?"

Yunxiao frowned. How could such an outrageous thing happen in the place where a sage resides?

"Junior sister, you don't know this, but Master brought back some disciples without teaching them any rules. They are unable to correct their demonic habits and do not abide by the rules and regulations of the Xuanmen sect. Sometimes they wander around in groups of three or five, or even seven or eight, like locusts, without even realizing it!"

Jin Ling shook her head. Recently, the Tongtian Sect Leader had been elusive, and even she had never seen him, so she naturally couldn't figure out what was going on.

"Yes, with more people in our Jie Sect, it's natural that we'll be active in the Chan Sect's territory. There must have been some kind of conflict again! But this time, they even used a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, so it's probably not an ordinary matter. Let's go and take a look."

Wu Yunxian's face showed a hint of worry. Using innate spiritual treasures was a big deal. If they got into a fight and there were casualties, wouldn't that affect the friendship between the saints of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect?

"Junior Brother Wuyun is right, let's go!"

As the second direct disciple of the Jie Sect, Li Qing could not ignore this incident. He immediately made a decision, and everyone got up and headed towards the place where the fight was taking place.

Looking around, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian and a disciple Li Qing didn't recognize were eyeing him menacingly outside the battle circle, while Jin Gu Xian Ma Sui was fighting against Huang Long of the Chan Sect.

Li Qing immediately guessed the situation: most likely this disciple had caused trouble, and Chang Er Ding Guang Xian came to his aid, but instead of directly joining the fray, he usurped Ma Sui's place to fight Huang Long.

On the other side, beams of pure immortal light rose up, and the twelve Golden Immortals appeared one after another.

Seeing that the disciples of the Chan and Jie sects were about to gather together, Li Qing pointed his finger and swept the Tai Chi talisman, separating the two groups with Yin and Yang energies: "What kind of behavior is this where a sage is present? Stop it!"

"Second Senior Brother, these disciples of the Chan Sect are going too far! Don't stop me today; I will definitely fight them to the death and show them the power of the disciples of the Jie Sect!"

Although Ma Sui was pulled away, he was still unconvinced and shouted that he wanted to fight Huang Long again.

Huang Long was also filled with righteous indignation: "Brother Xuanqiong, I respect your merits, but today's matter must be thoroughly investigated to determine right from wrong!"

boom~

With a soft sound, Nanji Zi slammed his dove-like staff down heavily, and an aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal suppressed everyone present.

"Enough! Is Kunlun Mountain a place for you to run rampant and fight?"

The next moment, another aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal rose up, and Daoist Duobao suddenly appeared: "What exactly happened, Junior Brother Ma Sui? Tell me!"

Ma Sui snorted coldly, but didn't lash out at Duobao: "Hmph, those disciples of the Chan Sect are going too far, saying that the disciples of my Jie Sect are all beasts with horns and fur, and that our master shouldn't have accepted us into the sect, disturbing the peace of Kunlun Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples of the Jie Sect were enraged and glared angrily at the Chan Sect.

"You're talking nonsense! When did I ever say that!"

Huang Long was furious and pointed at Ma Sui, saying, "This scoundrel is talking utter nonsense! It is clearly Ma Yuan who has broken the rules and regulations, coming here to kill living beings time and time again, and even swallowing the hearts and livers of spirit beasts whole. I said a few words to him, and he attacked me first. I only scolded him, when did I ever scold your Jie Sect!"

Nanji Zi stroked his beard slightly and spoke according to Yuanshi Tianzun's instructions: "Alright, this matter arose entirely because your Jiejiao disciples did not abide by the rules and regulations. Not to mention that Huanglong was not wrong, nor did he say those things, even if he did, they were the truth and unpleasant to hear!"

Ask yourselves honestly, aren't these disciples you accepted later, and some of your predecessors, shallow in character, unfit to shoulder the great responsibility of spreading the Dharma, and instead making Kunlun Mountain a mess?

"Nanji Zi, how dare you insult my Jie Sect!"

Daoist Duobao was furious and unleashed a Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder. Nanji Zi was not to be outdone and launched a Jade Clarity Divine Thunder, which arrived first after Duobao's attack.

The disciples of the Jie Sect were also filled with righteous indignation and prepared to take action against the Chan Sect.

Li Qing watched coldly, but something felt off.

"That's enough!"

At this moment, the voice of the Tongtian Sect Leader rang out, and the next instant, the world spun around, and everyone was thrown into the Sanqing Hall.

At the head of the table, Lao Tzu, unusually not in a half-asleep state, looked at Li Qing, who was still pondering, and smiled slightly at him!
