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

The Sage of Taiqing did not explain. Instead, a dazzling celestial light descended from the sky, and a moment later, Xuan Yin was teleported back to Shangqing Peak.

Clearly, this sage did not want Xuan Yin to set foot within the territory of Taiqing Peak.

"That is..."

Upon returning to Shangqing Peak, Xuan Yin, even across the endless void, sensed an immense and boundless power, imbued with the aura of the Heavenly Dao.

As the divine lightning of Taiqing struck, the shattered world of Journey to the West began to be reshaped. The Great Dao of Taiqing Saint instantly wove the foundation of a world, endlessly reincarnating, as if the destruction of the world had never happened, but was merely a dream that Xuan Yin had experienced when he broke through to the True Immortal realm!

However, the presence of the Iron Pole Soldier in his hand constantly reminded him that this was not a dream. For a Heavenly Saint, the destruction and creation of the world were just a thought away, a flick of the palm, and he could overturn everything.

"Junior brother!"

It was Duobao Daoist's voice that rang out from the void behind him, which finally woke Xuan Yin up, preventing his Dao heart from being shaken by the power of the sage.

"Senior brother!"

Xuan Yin quickly bowed.

He was busy undergoing his tribulation, but he also noticed that the Buddha in the Journey to the West world had been transformed into a separate self by the Taoist Master Duobao.

"Everything is preordained!"

Daoist Duobao smiled, seemingly knowing what Xuan Yin wanted to ask, and immediately said, "But the doctrine of our Jie Sect is to teach without discrimination, to seize a glimmer of hope for all beings! This time, thanks to Junior Brother Xuan Yin, I was able to enlighten another self from the future predicted by our Grand Master, thus perfecting my own Dao! Let's go, come with me to see our teacher, and ask him to enlighten us!"

"yes!"

Xuan Yin immediately nodded.

Soon, the two arrived at the Shangqing Hall and met the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"This is your opportunity!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly, and had the Water and Fire Boys bring out two prayer mats, gesturing for the two to sit down. He then began to speak about the cultivation of the Great Luo Immortals.

"The Great Luo One transcends the cycle of time and space, jumps out of the Three Realms, and is not bound by the Five Elements. Naturally, the path they cultivate is not bound by time and space!"

"Your eldest grandmaster is unparalleled in divination; the future he predicts is likely the closest to the future within the main timeline among all the timelines!"

"Under the laws of Heaven, there is a predetermined order, but in the unseen realm, there is still a trace of change. The future is ultimately just a mirage; except for certain key moments, everything can be altered!"

The words of the Tongtian Sect Leader undoubtedly confirmed some of Xuan Yin's guesses. Just like when he heard the name Xuan Yuan from the First Qilin, he already knew that the Great Luo existed in all dimensions of time and space.

As the future Human Emperor, Xuanyuan is undoubtedly the one who will prove the Dao in the future, but the characteristics of a Great Luo Golden Immortal allow him to achieve eternal existence in all time and space.

Perhaps, at some unknown point in time, he was silently observing the present, but had not yet developed the foundation for his existence!

Great Luo Golden Immortals have the ability to interfere with the past, but the Heavenly Dao does not allow such behavior, otherwise the history of the Primordial True Realm would fall into chaos.

However, Heaven will not stop what has already happened, nor will it reverse time and space. This is one of the variables that Heaven allows to exist.

In other words, minor trends can be altered, but major trends cannot. As long as it does not affect other Great Luo Immortals' attainment of Dao, does not trigger a spacetime paradox, and does not cause a cataclysmic calamity, the Heavenly Dao will turn a blind eye.

Within the rules, you can play however you want... but as a being of the Primordial True Realm, the first thing you need to abide by is the order of Heaven!

The Taiyi realm converges the timeline, preparing for the ultimate leap of the Daluo realm. In essence, this is the Taiyi cultivators of the Primordial True Realm refining their true selves, making their own path the only path in all realms.

In this world, there are no two identical leaves, let alone two identical Great Luo Immortals. Even if two people cultivate the same Great Dao Law, they will evolve different characteristics and properties.

The Tongtian Sect Leader was very patient, explaining the mysteries of the Great Luo Realm to Duobao and Xuanyin, and also answering some of their questions.

Finally, he looked at Daoist Duobao and earnestly instructed him: "Buddhism is the Tao, and the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm is one that draws on the strengths of all. However, Buddhist methods involve those two, so before you break through to the Great Luo realm, you'd better not get involved. If you're not careful, it will affect your foundation!"

"Becoming a Great Luo is fine, but if you can become a Venerable Ancestor and take charge of the future of Buddhism, that would be a truly remarkable opportunity!"

"Just don't forget that education should be for all, regardless of background; simply provide a glimmer of hope for all beings!"

If the Sage of Taiqing could see that Daoist Duobao was connected with the Buddhist teachings, then the Master of Tongtian would naturally also be able to see the Buddha-nature within Duobao.

However, his own path dictated that he would not stop it. In his view, if the way of disciples could surpass his own path as their teacher, and teach without discrimination, then it would be considered to have surpassed the way of the Chan Sect.

"yes!"

Daoist Duobao nodded quickly.

After instructing Duobao Daoist, Tongtian Jiaozhu turned to Xuan Yin and said, "You've just broken through to True Immortal, so you don't need to be as nervous as Duobao. The road ahead is still long! However, since your grandmaster has generously gifted you a high-grade acquired spiritual treasure as a protective artifact, I cannot leave without showing my appreciation!"

He took the purplish-yellow gourd from his waist and explained, "This is the Water-Fire Gourd, forged by me from the Primordial Gourd and the Water-Fire Qilin. Since you have formed a bond with the Primordial Qilin, this treasure is yours! However, you must not actively refine this treasure before you break through to the Golden Immortal realm!"

In the Tongtian Sect Leader's plan, he was to bestow the magical treasure upon Xuan Yin after Xuan Yin broke through to the Golden Immortal realm. However, since the Taiqing Sage had already bestowed a magical treasure, he, as the teacher, could no longer turn a blind eye.

Innate spiritual treasures are comparable to the Great Luo Immortals in status and possess extremely strong spirituality. If one is not careful, one will be affected by the Great Dao Laws contained within them.

However, the Water and Fire Gourd is slightly different. The two Qilin, one water and one fire, actively merged with the spiritual treasure in order to seek protection.

They can be regarded as spiritual treasures, but they can also be regarded as two guardian deities.

Even if Xuan Yin doesn't refine them, the two Qilin will still intervene at crucial moments.

"Thank you, Teacher, for this wonderful gift!"

Xuan Yin was overjoyed. He had heard Kui Niu say that the two Qilins residing in the Water-Fire Gourd were the parents of the Water-Fire Child, both of whom were at the peak of the Great Luo realm and possessed extraordinary strength.

In addition, the gourd itself is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with forty-five restrictions, which is extremely rare even in the Primordial Realm.

……

At the same time, Taiyi and Cihang of the Chan Sect were also receiving teachings from Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat on his cloud bed and transmitted a divine power to Cihang: "The Heavenly Dao has decreed that you will form an affinity with Buddhism in the future. This is an inescapable trend! However, the methods of the Chan Sect are fundamental. Today, I will impart to you the Dao Seal of the Nine Seals of Yuanshi. Even if you enter Buddhism in the future, as long as your original heart remains unchanged and your foundation remains intact, you will be able to reverse cause and effect, turn back the tide, and return to the shore of the Dao, rejoining the Chan Sect one day!"

"yes!"

Cihang immediately closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Although he had glimpsed a glimpse of the future, since the sage had spoken, he only needed to do as he was told; this might be a rare opportunity for him.

Immediately afterwards, Yuanshi Tianzun taught Taiyi Zhenren the method of transforming into countless beings and the art of seeking out and relieving suffering, seemingly preparing to follow the trend of the Heavenly Way and cultivate Taiyi Zhenren in the direction of the Heavenly Venerable of Salvation from Suffering.

only……

The causes and effects involved are too complex to be understood even by a sage!
