Primordial Era: Taking the blame to become a saint, proving one's path through eccentricity!

At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, clouds and mist swirl, cranes soar through the sky, the Dao principles converge, and the three Great Luo Heavens appear and disappear, as if unfolding the mysteries of heaven and earth.

The three Great Luo Heavens each possess their own mysteries: the Great Crimson Heaven, the Pure Subtle Heaven, and the Yu Yu Heaven.

The Great Crimson Heaven is the highest, a wisp of mysterious energy that evolves into Yin and Yang, like the ancestor of primordial energy, the root of heaven and earth, and also revealing a sense of transcendence over heaven and earth.

Below it lies the Pure and Subtle Heaven, where a primordial energy, existing before the beginning of time, manifests above the Immortal City, reflecting in the void alongside a jade ruyi.

In the Yu Yu Heaven, amidst the chaos and darkness, a primordial energy evolved into the Heaven-Opening Sword Qi, forcibly carving out a secluded paradise within the deep chaos, where countless blue lotuses emerged.

At this moment, over a thousand living beings are searching for their own opportunities in the Yu Yu Heaven.

These creatures come in all shapes and sizes. There are treasure rats traversing the void, spirit turtles pausing to gaze into the distance, and white apes bowing in worship to the summit of the immortal mountain.

Among the thousand or so living beings, a primordial human was climbing the steps, as if reaching the summit would grant him boundless fortune.

He walked with great difficulty, but with each step he took, a wisp of immortal energy descended from the void, subtly transforming his Dao body.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, in a daze, a sword light rose from the beginning of time, and boundless innate essence manifested from the void.

The sword light cleaved through the chaos, evolving into the nine heavens. Nine primordial origins flew between heaven and earth, along with six hundred and sixty-eight chaotic crimson characters and over ninety-nine thousand Brahma Qi, which transformed into spiritual rain to nourish all things in heaven and earth.

One of the innate origins, along with two chaotic crimson runes, lingered for a moment before coincidentally falling in front of that human.

"Xuan Yin!"

The Chaos Crimson Script originated from the hand of a sage and contains endless mysteries. Even though he had never seen it before, that human instantly understood its true meaning.

Upon seeing this, he immediately kowtowed and said, "The progenitor of the human race thanks the sage for bestowing this name upon me!"

As he kowtowed, the sound of fish drums rose from the void, as if billions of beings from different dimensions of time and space were praising him in unison: "With sincere devotion, we take refuge in you. Residing in the Pure Realm, you are called the Spirit Treasure Lord. Born from the ancestral kalpa, you possess over ninety-nine thousand primordial energies. The crimson script shines forth, containing six hundred and sixty-eight true characters. From the primordial crimson script, the nine heavens were opened. The five kalpas were divided according to the Jade Calendar. The heavenly and earthly principles, you are the majestic origin of creation. The pivot of yin and yang, you are the outstanding ancestor of thunder and lightning. Great compassion and great vows, great holiness and great mercy. Jade Emperor Dao Lord, Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerable!"

Countless living beings received a blessing, and the more than a thousand living beings who entered Yu Yu Tian with Xuan Yin were instantly enveloped in endless immortal light.

Clearly, a sage is selfless, like the sun surveying all realms and constantly illuminating all things in heaven and earth; naturally, he is not the only one who has received the sage's favor.

However, due to their own karmic connections, the outcomes they receive are all different!

Eight figures, like Xuan Yin, obtained a piece of innate origin, while more than a hundred figures gained the favor of the Chaos Crimson Script.

The remaining beings, lacking sufficient karmic affinity, only received the baptism of the saint's sacred energy.

"good!"

The voice of the sage resounded, and the endless Taoist charm transformed into a majestic Dharma image in the void.

However, at this very moment, an untimely voice rang out from beyond the heavens: "The final calamity has not yet arrived; it is not yet time for the Celestial Venerable Lingbao to be born!"

"good!"

The sage did not refute, but simply nodded slightly and said, "From this day forward, I am the Master of the Heavenly Gate!"

In an instant, the clouds dispersed, the sky cleared, and the sunlight shone down. The creatures of Yu Yu Tian were also transferred to Qingfeng Peak on Kunlun Mountain.

A figure in green robes sat upright on a cloud bed, looking at the crowd below. He nodded slightly and said, "Those favored by the Nine Heavens Origin may become my personal disciples; those favored by the Chaos Crimson Script may become my nominal disciples; but those imbued with Brahma Qi, though they may hear my teachings, will not have a master-disciple relationship with me!"

Boom!

The words of a sage are like a bolt from the blue; once spoken, they can never be changed.

For a time, some were delighted, some were overjoyed, and some were envious, but many other creatures showed sorrow on their faces.

Xuan Yin was naturally delighted.

He glanced at the two men and six women standing beside him, and thought to himself, "Are these the original eight direct disciples of the Jie Sect?"

"I never imagined I'd have the chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with them!"

Two men and six women, each with a different demeanor, were all people of excellent talent. Their original attire had been changed to uniform Taoist robes and Shangqing lotus crowns.

Of course, the same goes for Xuan Yin!

As Xuan Yin secretly rejoiced, the Sage Tongtian on the cloud bed spoke again: "The Jie Sect is newly established, and there should be an inner and outer sect. Among you nine, is there anyone willing to assist your master in managing the Jie Sect?"

"This disciple is willing!"

As soon as the sage finished speaking, the nine responded simultaneously, then exchanged smiles and said in unison, "Everything is arranged by our teacher!"

"good!"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, from today onwards, Duobao will be the senior disciple of the inner sect of the Jie Sect, assisted by Jinling, Wudang, and Guiling! Zhao Gongming will be the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, assisted by Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao!"

Immediately afterward, the Tongtian Sect Leader looked at Xuan Yin and smiled, "As for Xuan Yin, your most urgent task right now is to improve your cultivation!"

"yes!"

Xuan Yin immediately lowered his head in shame.

Among the nine direct disciples, he had the lowest cultivation level. According to the cultivation level classification of the prehistoric world, he had only initially attained the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit.

This level of cultivation is absolutely at the bottom among those who have just entered Yu Yu Heaven, even inferior to many disciples of the Jie Sect!

Not to mention compared to the other eight direct disciples!

Seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but laugh and say, "Don't belittle yourself. Although your cultivation level is the lowest, your merit and fortune are the highest!"

"Practice diligently!"

Then, he looked at the crowd and instructed them, "Our Jie Sect teaches without discrimination. A thousand years from now, I will preach the Great Dao on Shangqing Peak! During these thousand years, you may first cultivate in a cave on Kunlun Mountain as your place of practice!"

"Let's all go our separate ways!"

Every move the sage made was in harmony with the will of the universe and encompassed all things in heaven and earth. As the sage spoke, everyone appeared outside the Shangqing Palace.

Most of the disciples exchanged a few words and then transformed into rainbow light and departed, clearly following the sage's decree to open up cave dwellings near Shangqing Palace.

During this time, Xuan Yin also greeted Duo Bao, Jin Ling, and others.

However, unlike others, he did not go to the surrounding sacred mountains to find places with abundant spiritual energy, but instead built a cave dwelling directly at the foot of Shangqing Peak.

Is there anywhere nearby with a richer spiritual energy than the sage's sacred site?

It is good to cultivate under the tutelage of a sage. Xuan Yin's cultivation level is low, but since he has been valued by the sage and taken as a disciple, and is staying under the sage's nose, the sage, with his magnanimous heart, will probably not say anything.

"Merit and fortune?"

After Xuan Yin opened the cave dwelling, he began to constantly ponder the words of the sage.

He was not a person of this world, and his understanding of the prehistoric world came from various legends. Judging from his previous experience in Yu Yu Tian, ​​the status of the prehistoric world was probably higher than he had imagined.

However, with his current level of cultivation, he does not yet have the ability to see through everything.

He could only guess that the merit and fortune mentioned by the sage were related to some things he had done in the human tribes after he traveled to the prehistoric world.

This is also his greatest asset at present.

Otherwise, how could he have attracted the Nine Heavens Origin in Yu Yu Heaven, thus being valued by the Sage and becoming one of the Nine Direct Disciples of the Jie Sect?
