Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Immortal only desires a steady path to enlightenment!

Chapter 1 I am Yu Ding! Whether the Heavenly Court is in chaos or not, Yu Ding has the final say!

In the primordial East Sea, outside Jin'ao Island, lies the headquarters of the Chan Sect.

More than 50,000 years have passed since the collapse of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar and the fall of the Milky Way, when the sages mended the heavens and saved the world.

The world gradually returned to its former tranquility.

The cycle of life and death is orderly; the lich and demons withdrew from the struggle for supremacy over heaven and earth, and the human race gradually took control of the firmament!

It can be said that apart from the gradual depletion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the limitation on the upper limit of living beings, everything is peaceful and the world is stable.

In order to promote the growth of the strength of his disciples.

The Sage of Heaven and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable casually made a pact to compete for ten thousand years.

The three tests are supernatural powers, formation, and weapon crafting.

The sect represented by the winner will be the venue for the next competition.

The last time was a battle that lasted for millennia.

Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect and Taiyi Zhenren of the Chan Sect competed in supernatural powers.

The Intercepting Sect wins!

The Intercepting Sect's Golden Spirit Mother and the Chan Sect's Cihang Daoist competed in strategizing.

The Intercepting Sect wins!

The outcome was already decided at this point.

But it's for the sake of saving face.

Yuanshi Tianzun then sent Guangchengzi to compete with Duobao Daoren of the Jie Sect in weapon crafting techniques.

Fortunately, Guang Chengzi didn't let the team down.

They won by a narrow margin.

They didn't let the Chan Sect lose too badly.

Now, the time of ten thousand years has come again.

Led by the Taoist Ran Deng, and accompanied by the Twelve Golden Immortals, they came to Jin'ao Island for another competition.

First Stage: A Test of Supernatural Powers

Zhao Gongming of the Jie Sect versus Manjushri of the Chan Sect.

The Chan school prevails!

Second Stage: Formation Competition

The Intercepting Sect's Wudang Holy Mother versus the Chan Sect's Chijingzi.

The Intercepting Sect wins!

Yuanshi Tianzun was not pleased with this result.

Victory and defeat are common occurrences in war, so there's nothing wrong with that.

But what if we lose to an outsider in our core skills?

That would be a bit embarrassing.

So he gave the Twelve Golden Immortals a death order.

We must win the final battle, using any legitimate means possible, no matter what method we employ!

Yu Ding Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, and Guang Chengzi, as the most skilled weapon-refining beings among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, naturally could not shirk this responsibility.

They all returned to their respective caves, pondering how to achieve victory and gain the praise of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

……

"The blue sea is bathed in the rising sun, and all things flourish; clouds and mist swirl around the ethereal peaks."

"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth rises and swirls, a golden turtle roars proudly, and immortals and gods appear!"

"Having lived in this world for hundreds of thousands of years, I am still awestruck by this scene."

"I really don't know if this is just a pipe dream, or Zhuangzi's butterfly dream..."

The jade tripod stands atop a solitary peak, gazing at the sea of ​​clouds and the rising sun, its eyes occasionally flashing with a hint of bewilderment and daze.

He just wanted to rest for a while, but when he opened his eyes again, he turned into a Xuanhuang jade cauldron.

And was taken back to Kunlun Mountain by the Primordial Celestial Venerable!

He became one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, the teacher of Yang Jian, and the Jade Cauldron Immortal who decided whether the Heavenly Court was in chaos!

"Forget it, there's no point in lamenting and whining here."

"It would be better to think of a way to forge a powerful magic weapon to win the final round of the competition."

"Master gave a death order."

"If we lose this time, we'll have to seal off their magical powers and thoroughly clean up the Jade Void Palace from top to bottom."

"Now that the number of disciples has increased, the Jade Void Palace covers at least tens of millions of square kilometers."

"It would take forever to clean this up by relying solely on physical labor."

After rubbing his cheeks to bring his thoughts back, he...

Yu Ding murmured softly as he stepped back into his cave and began to peruse his collection.

"After so many years and hundreds of dredging operations, all we've gotten is garbage; there's hardly anything useful!"

"Well, now that a thousand years have passed, we have another chance to salvage it. Let's see if we can find anything good this time."

As he spoke, Yu Ding's mind gradually sank into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Between the alternation of light and darkness, a vast and boundless deep blue lake suddenly appeared before his eyes.

In the void at the center of the Heart Lake, a jade disc emitting emerald green light, as if imprinted with the endless universe, also manifested numerous Dao patterns of heaven and earth.

At first glance, it looks like scribbles, with no discernible pattern.

However, upon closer inspection, its meaning will naturally emerge in one's mind.

Name: Yu Ding

[Root and Foundation: Xuanhuang Jade Cauldron]

(It contains twenty-four innate restrictions, and contains the complete laws of Qiankun and Gengjin. It is made from the innate jade disc, the broken teeth of Pangu, and a little bit of Xuanhuang Qi. It has a great effect on refining weapons and alchemy.)

If one is fortunate enough to obtain the original source of the Primordial Qi of the Primordial Chaos, one can elevate one's own grade to the highest level of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

[Occupation: Taoist]

[Cultivation Techniques: Eight-Nine Arcane Technique (Peak of Fifth Stage), Jade Purity Immortal Technique]

[Cultivation Level: Early Stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal]

Physical Body: Mid-stage Taiyi Golden Immortal

[Soul: Early Stage of Great Luo Golden Immortal]

[Talent: Stealing the Sky and Changing the Sun]

(Every thousand years, one can explore the void and take one item from all the heavens and myriad realms—magical treasures, divine weapons, the laws of the Great Dao, all living beings, anything is possible.)

[Supernatural Powers: Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques, Dharma Forms of Heaven and Earth, Dharma Forms of Heaven and Earth...]

[Spiritual Treasure: Immortal-Slaying Sword (Supreme Acquired Spiritual Treasure)]

[Secondary Professions: Alchemist, Weapon Refiner, Array Master]

[Merit: 352 million strands of Heavenly Merit]

(This information comes from compiling the "Primordial Limitless Salvation Sutra," also known as the "Salvation Sutra")

This is the information that is revealed.

It is actually the result of his many years of hard work.

As for what this thing actually is, he still doesn't know.

Since even the master couldn't see anything amiss.

He didn't pay much attention to it.

The latest novel is first published here!

The Sutra of Salvation was something he learned by chance in his previous life.

And he is the only one who has read a complete version of Taoist scriptures.

Therefore, when he was reborn as Yu Ding and traveled to the mortal realm...

Looking at the wandering souls who have nowhere to go and no way to be redeemed.

So I wanted to try it out and see if the "Scripture of Salvation" was actually effective.

He just didn't expect that the "Scripture of Salvation" would be more than just useful.

It also brought him a great deal of merit from heaven and earth.

However, he did not use it to improve his cultivation.

Instead, it condensed into golden light of merit.

May I avoid calamity and be blessed with good fortune.

After all, it seems that the Lich Wars have just passed, and the time for the next war is far away.

But that's not actually the case.

To put it simply, the Investiture of the Gods was a great tribulation.

The Heavenly Court was short of people, so Haotian cried out in despair, and Hongjun issued an edict that the three religions should provide people.

The Wu Zhou dynasty, which replaced the Shang dynasty, was merely a victim of this period.

In the primordial world, the major trends are irreversible, but minor trends can be altered.

If he had the ability, he would naturally make his master's life more comfortable, so that he wouldn't be forced to take the Fallen Saint Pill.

However, if one lacks the ability, then self-preservation is the primary concern.

As for why he only thought about helping his master instead of strengthening the Chan Sect?

Haha, the current state of the Chan Sect is practically like a girls' dormitory.

The twelve Golden Immortals, plus the Vice Master Randeng, as well as Yun Zhongzi and the Antarctic Immortal.

Of the fifteen cultivators, he knew of four factions and five circles on the surface.

Tell me, isn't that outrageous?

In this situation, how can one turn the tide?

It's no less impressive than one person carrying four weak opponents against five top-tier players.

Let alone leading the Chan Sect to dominate the world, he would be doing justice to his more than ten years of professional experience if he didn't get ripped off and lose everything!

So he chose to go down the path of asceticism, creating his own circle, which he called: "Retreating".

Follow the principles of the three no's and three prohibitions.

It doesn't attract attention, doesn't provoke people, and doesn't stand out.

Don't be anxious, don't be greedy, and don't aim too high.

Maintain a calm mind and focus on climbing the great path.

Of course, this does not mean that he should accept his fate passively.

It's like that joke from later generations.

We never fight wars; we just focus on farming.

But if you prevent me from farming, then I'll plant you in the field!

"Now that the millennium has arrived, I hope we can produce some good products."

"The last few times it's been either rotten wood or tattered clothes; I don't even know which world's trash it's from."

As Yu Ding murmured his complaints, the endless universe imprinted on the jade disc suddenly burst forth with five-colored light, gradually twisting into a vortex of starry sky.

They were already used to this kind of situation.

He simply reached his hand into it.

It's called "taking out," but it's more like opening a blind box containing fixed items.

Reaching your hand into the vortex of the galaxy and taking out whatever you touch constitutes a successful theft.

As for what world the item came from, whether there was anything around it, or whether the item had an owner, he had no idea.

In addition to physical objects, he also extracted the memories of a certain creature.

However, that kind of creature doesn't have much of a brain.

And his lifespan was extremely short; before he could even understand anything, he was gone.

"Why does it feel so furry?"

The moment it touched something, the jade cauldron immediately became aware of it.

They then pulled what they had caught out of the galaxy vortex.

However, what he never expected was...

The moment the object was pulled out, the galactic vortex suddenly expanded countless times!

Rather than saying he caught it, it's more accurate to say that the galactic vortex spat it out!

"Is it a dead bird this time?"
