The primordial era began with the Upper Cave Man.

Talent is a difficult thing to predict. After all, cultivation is affected by many factors, especially in the primordial world. Who knows, one day a strange force from outer space might fall to earth and hit someone on the head, causing them to receive an initiation and gain extraordinary skills, from which point on, they will be able to kill gods and Buddhas if they are in their way.

Such a person can be called a chosen one of heaven. It is also possible that under certain special circumstances, he will be immersed in a certain kind of high-energy spiritual energy, and eventually break through the original body's limit. After his physique changes, he can cultivate whatever he wants and break through to become a True Immortal, a Celestial Immortal... It is even possible that he will eventually become a Golden Immortal.

Anything is possible; in short, we must not generalize.

Besides the influence of external forces on aptitude, there is also the difference in compatibility between a person and certain Taoist methods. If one method fails to work, switching to another method is like having divine assistance, allowing for rapid and triumphant progress.

Of course, there are also those with extraordinary talent who will create their own divine skills, cultivate them alone, and achieve enlightenment through arduous practice.

Xuandu, wanting to find a successor, naturally devised a method of testing.

He would not accept all the people that Luo Zu brought, but would select another group from them and call them his closed disciples.

After the deer led everyone to the platform, Luo Zu said to the person beside him, "Fellow Daoist, now that everyone is here, let them see the appearance of their future mentor."

Xuan Du Daoist actually came with Luo Zu, but he has always existed in the world as a Golden Immortal, which means that the Dao Fruit itself descended to this place. In this way, the Dao Fruit is like the Great Dao itself, so it cannot be observed by ordinary naked eyes. In addition, his cultivation has reached the fourth step of the Golden Immortal, so even Lu, the Heavenly Immortal, cannot see it.

It is invisible and intangible, as if separated by two dimensions.

This is the difference between a Golden Immortal and an ordinary being.

After receiving a reminder from Luo Zu, Xuan Du withdrew from that special state and descended into his material form.

"Thanks to Fellow Daoist Luo Zu's guidance." Daoist Xuan Du also transformed into his usual human form.

Everyone felt fortunate and honored to have such a sage's disciple and Golden Immortal Daoist grace them with his presence.

But back then, they didn't dare to be too obsequious, so they all bowed respectfully and said, "We greet Daoist Xuandu."

Xuan Du Daoist smiled slightly: "As expected of fellow Daoist Luo Zu, you are all exceptionally talented individuals."

Luo Zu nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist Xuan Du is too kind. We are close friends, so there is no need for such flattery."

Xuandu laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"This is absolutely true. If there were even the slightest falsehood, my teacher would punish me right now," said Taoist Xuandu.

Luo Zu then quipped, "A sage's disciples should be strictly disciplined, otherwise you would ruin the sage's reputation."

Taoist Xuandu smiled noncommittally: "Fellow Daoist, please don't make veiled accusations."

He thought that Luo Zu's words were a veiled reference, and as for who he was referring to, it was the Jie Sect, which was now flourishing and prosperous.

However, Luo Zu did have this intention. The Jie Sect was going too far in its actions, which was why he was hinting at it indirectly.

When interacting with disciples of the Jie Sect, he disregarded their status as disciples of a sage, scolding them when necessary, saying what he wanted to say, and laughing when he wanted to laugh.

But this group of disciples of the Jie Sect must be described as having strong personalities.

However, he was indeed displeased with the disciples of the Jie Sect who harmed the creatures of the prehistoric world and destroyed the ecological balance, and he often tried to stop their evil deeds when he went out of seclusion.

Indeed, there were a group of people in the Jie Sect who bullied others by abusing their power, and their conflicts with him were naturally intense.

In other words, Luo Zu was also of extraordinary birth, and the powerful figures they relied on knew of Luo Zu and would not make things difficult for him.

"I wonder which one you prefer?" Luo Zu then asked.

Xuan Du Daoist's gaze swept around the room, finally settling on a man and a woman.

"I am quite fond of these two; perhaps they could become my disciples," Xuandu said.

Luo Zu nodded: "Wu Du, Liang Ying, would you be willing to become disciples of Fellow Daoist Xuan Du?"

Two members of the tribe who could give their names nodded emphatically: "I'm willing."

"Good, congratulations on finding a worthy disciple, fellow Daoist." At this moment, Luo Zu also took the opportunity to check the past and future to see what the future held for him and his disciples.

The future is uncertain, and countless possibilities are unfolding before his eyes.

He also saw similarities in most of those futures.

However, their future will only be seen more than 100,000 years from now, and Luo Zu cannot see that far ahead for the time being. For now, he can only see that they will become celestial immortals in the future.

"Alright, alright," Xuan Du agreed.

The rest of the people were then sent home. Xuandu gave Wu Du and Liang Ying some time to prepare before they returned to the Tushita Palace with Him.

"How could the Celestial Venerable allow you to take on disciples?" Luo Zu stopped Xuan Du and finally asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

"The teacher intends to establish a new training ground." Xuan Du shook his head and sighed softly.

"Hmm?" The Three Pure Ones are going to split up?

"Do the other two Celestial Venerables know about this?" Luo Zu asked again.

"I don't know either," Xuan Du could only shake his head.

"Where is the new dojo located? Could it be that we also have to go to the Outer Heavens?" Luo Zu asked.

Xuandu shook his head again: "My teacher is also looking for a good cause. He just told me that He will open a new temple to establish a new religion."

"Perhaps it's about reopening a temple on Kunlun Mountain, or even opening a temple directly in the void," Luo Zu advised.

Xuandu was truly reluctant to see the Three Pure Ones separate, and unwilling to abandon the Kunlun Taoist temple.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult," Xuan Du said pessimistically.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zu naturally offered a few words of comfort: "Fellow Daoist..."

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for comfort. I'm not particularly saddened." Xuan Du's expression softened, and his mood had calmed down.

Seeing this, Luo Zu stopped trying to comfort him.

Xuandu is no child either; he is a Golden Immortal Dao Lord who has lived for millions of years, and his state of mind is extraordinary. How could he hesitate over such a trivial matter?

Then they stopped discussing the matter and started talking about their spiritual practice.

Xuandu could also see that Luo Zu's cultivation had made great progress. He had now reached the fifth step of the Golden Immortal realm and possessed special abilities.

In the past, Luo Zu's cultivation was not as good as His, and He cultivated to the fourth step faster than Luo Zu. But He did not expect Luo Zu to catch up with Him so quickly and even surpass Him.

However, He did not feel jealous, but he was somewhat envious, after all, this cultivation speed was really fast.

But He asked himself if he had been diligent in his practice, never daring to slack off, and making progress every day, no matter how much.

"When will the primordial world be at peace?" Xuandu suddenly sighed again.

"Isn't this a time of peace?" Luo Zu pointed to the sky.

Xuandu suddenly realized: "My wish is for peace to last for ten thousand generations."

Xuandu often said this to Luo Zu.

However, it is extremely difficult to achieve eternal peace in the primordial world. After all, the primordial world is too vast, with countless living beings and far too many great figures. Great supernatural beings restrain each other, making it even more difficult to achieve peace in the primordial world.

Unless Xuandu suppresses all dissent with his own power, the primordial world can be kept at peace forever.

What level of cultivation would be required?
