Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

The merits of the Heavenly Dao poured into the bodies of Jieyin and Zhunti, instantly activating the Primordial Purple Qi within them, transforming it into a bridge connecting the origin of the primordial world. Complete laws of the origin of heaven and earth were displayed before them, allowing them to comprehend them.

A moment later, the auras of Jieyin and Zhunti suddenly merged with the heavens and earth.

"We guide 'I, Cundi,' the saint who has attained enlightenment today! Our great vow is witnessed by Heaven!" The voices of the two saints, carrying the solemnity of liberation and the weight of responsibility, resounded throughout the West.

Two majestic images of saints shone in the primordial sky.

Golden lotuses sprang from the ground, golden flowers fell from the sky, and purple mist covered the heavens!

The same scene played out once again in the primordial world.

As was customary, the masses bowed and paid homage under the majesty of the sage, shouting "Praise be to the Sage Who Guides (Cundi)!"

The twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit slowly fell into a lotus pond on Mount Sumeru. A vast amount of merit fell into the lotus pond, transforming into golden water of merit that nourished the golden lotus of merit.

The guiding banner and the Seven Treasures Tree shone with intertwined light. After the light of merit subsided, the two Taoist priests stood atop Mount Sumeru, radiating a profound saintly aura. Although they lacked the grandeur of the Three Pure Ones' creation of heaven and earth, they possessed a greater compassion and perseverance earned through great vows and unwavering determination.

The two men's gazes met those of the Three Pure Ones, who were watching from above, as they turned towards Kunlun Mountain. A series of lightning bolts flashed in the void. Jieyin and Zhunti bowed to the Three Pure Ones, Taiqing nodded slightly, and Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent with a dignified expression. Tongtian's Qingping Sword trembled gently.

Before the Taiqing Palace, the Three Pure Ones watched the two Western figures slowly dissipate. Laozi calmly glanced at his two junior brothers and slowly said, "Now that we have established our religion and attained the status of sages, we should fulfill our responsibility to educate and enlighten all living beings!"

The two sages, Yuanshi and Tongtian, also knew that since they had established their teachings among all living beings and attained enlightenment in heaven and earth, they should educate all living beings and spread their teachings throughout the primordial world. Only in this way could they solidify their positions as sages; otherwise, they would lose faith in the Way of Heaven, and their cultivation would be difficult to advance further.

Kunlun Mountain, Five Elements Grotto Heaven.

As the majestic images of the two Western sages reflected in the void slowly dissipated, Huanglong straightened up. Although the power of the two sages could not affect Kunlun Mountain, much less him, a disciple of the sages, he still had to show the respect due to the sages. Bowing would not cause him to lose a wisp of spiritual energy.

"Come quickly to Taiqing Palace on Sanqing Peak!"

At this moment, a voice rang in Huanglong's ears; it was the voice of his master, Yuanshi.

Huanglong replied to the void, "Yes!"

After instructing Zi Ling to take care of the spiritual roots and immortal plants in the cave, he then rode his escape light towards Sanqing Peak.

Huanglong's cave was the furthest from the Three Pure Ones Peak among the disciples, second only to Xuandu in terms of cultivation level. Xuandu, on the other hand, was the closest to the Three Pure Ones Peak. So when Huanglong arrived at the Three Pure Ones Peak, Antarctic Immortal, Duobao, and others were already sitting cross-legged in front of the Three Pure Ones.

It landed on the preaching platform of Sanqing Peak, where the Three Pure Ones usually preached to their disciples, hence the name of the preaching platform.

He performed a standard three kneelings and nine prostrations ceremony before the Three Pure Ones seated in front of him: "Disciple Huang Long greets Master, Grand Master Uncle, and Third Uncle!"

"This disciple is late, and I apologize for keeping my three masters and fellow disciples waiting!"

The Three Pure Ones nodded slightly at Huanglong without saying anything more. Yuanshi pointed his finger, and a futon appeared next to Guangchengzi, indicating that Huanglong should sit down.

Huanglong bowed to the three sages again before coming to Guangchengzi's side and sitting cross-legged on the futon.

The Three Pure Ones exchanged glances upon seeing that all their disciples had arrived. Taiqing slowly spoke, "I have summoned you here for three matters!"

"Firstly, we, the Three Pure Ones, have established our teachings and attained the position of sages, and should therefore practice the way of education. A thousand years from now, the three of us will preach the Great Way of Sages to all living beings in the primordial world from Mount Kunlun, and all living beings in the primordial world are welcome to come and listen to the teachings!"

Following Taiqing's words, Yuanshi continued, "Secondly, after the sermon, our three religions will establish three trials before Mount Kunlun. Anyone who passes these trials can become a disciple of our three religions and cultivate the Great Dao of the Three Religions!"

After Yuanshi finished speaking, the Three Pure Ones simultaneously set up three barriers at the gate of Kunlun Mountain. The first barrier tested the seeker's heart in seeking the Dao, the second tested the seeker's blessings and foundation, and the last tested their understanding of the Great Dao.

After Yuanshi finished speaking, Tongtian's voice rang out: "The third thing is that, as our disciples, although you have never been lazy in your cultivation, you are still somewhat lacking."

"Today I will give you a sermon, hoping that you will diligently cultivate yourselves, uphold the great principles of our three religions, and fulfill your responsibility to educate and enlighten all beings!"

Huang Long and the other disciples rose in unison and respectfully bowed to the Three Pure Ones, saying, "Disciples will humbly obey the teachings of our three masters!"

The Sage Taiqing looked at his disciples, gently waved his whisk, and all the disciples sat down.

The three Pure Ones exchanged a glance, and were about to begin their sermon to their disciples.

"Heaven's will is above! The sea of ​​blood bears witness!"

A voice filled with bloodlust and murderous intent resounded throughout the primordial world, seemingly stirring up a ten-thousand-foot-high wave of blood, carrying the determination to slaughter all living beings, and clearly entered the ears of every living being in the primordial world!

Hearing the murderous voice echoing from the void, Huang Long murmured, "Here we go again...!"

However, everyone present, including the three saints and those from Antarctica, had cultivation levels exceeding Huanglong's, and Huanglong's words reached their ears without missing a single one.

The Three Pure Ones and the others from the South Pole all looked at Huang Long. Huang Long felt the pressure increase suddenly and quickly stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said to the Three Pure Ones, "This disciple has spoken out of turn. Please punish me, Master, Senior Uncle, and Junior Uncle!"

Yuanshi said, "It's nothing!"

At this moment, Tongtian smiled at Huanglong and said, "Tell your fellow Daoist Minghe about his deeds to your senior brothers and sisters!"

Huang Long could only bite the bullet and say, "When Nuwa created humans, I was by her side. The Styx Ancestor followed Nuwa's example in creating humans, thus creating the Rakshasa clan and receiving a great deal of merit from the Heavenly Dao. However, whether it was because he didn't receive enough merit or because he lacked the Primordial Purple Qi, he failed to attain sainthood. Now, seeing his three teachers and the two Western uncles establish their sects and become saints, he thinks he's capable now!"

After hearing Huang Long's explanation, Duo Bao and the other disciples developed a strong interest in this top-tier innate deity of the prehistoric world.

The Three Pure Ones were not in a hurry to preach, and they also wanted to see what kind of trouble this fellow Daoist Styx could cause without the Primordial Purple Qi in hand.

Tongtian looked at Duobao and his disciples below, who were all filled with confusion, and said with a hint of teasing, "Do you want to know what happened?"

Huanglong rose and bowed to Tongtian, saying, "Please, Uncle-Master, use your divine powers to let us witness the grand occasion of Senior Styx establishing his sect!"

Tongtian smiled and nodded. The Qingping Sword in Tongtian's hand was drawn from its sheath, drawing arcs in the void and emitting wisps of astonishing sword energy. These wisps intertwined in the void, forming a circle, and a sea of ​​blood slowly emerged within the circle of interwoven sword energy.

A colossal figure stood atop the sea of ​​blood!

"I am the Lord of the Blood Sea, Styx! I have witnessed the endless slaughter throughout the primordial world, with countless souls returning to the Blood Sea, their obsessions hard to dispel, and resentment growing ever stronger!"

"Now, upon this sea of ​​blood, I establish a religion called the 'Asura Religion'!"

As soon as the words "Asura Cult" were uttered, the heavens and earth trembled, and the sea of ​​blood churned!

The torrent of blood surged into the void, forming countless crimson pillars connecting heaven and earth!

"My doctrine: Prove the Way through killing! Gather the karma of all spirits, burn the cause and effect of all beings! As long as the karmic fire is extinguished, the intent to kill will not be extinguished!"

"I use the two innate spiritual treasures, Yuan Tu and A Bi, as my means of proving my Dao, to bear the weight of the Great Dao of Slaughter!"
