Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

"Taking boundaries as the path to enlightenment is indeed different from that of ordinary beings!"

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was neither praise nor disparagement: "Now that you have reached the peak of the Great Luo realm, I will take this opportunity to explain the path of the Quasi-Saint to you and your fellow disciples."

The next moment, he raised his hand and gently tapped the jade ruyi in his hand.

"bite......!"

The clear, melodious voice resounded throughout the Jade Void Palace, and even spread through the towering palace towards Kunlun Mountain.

The clear sound carried a Taoist charm.

All the disciples of the Chan Sect within Kunlun Mountain, regardless of their location—whether they were refining elixirs, practicing supernatural powers, or in seclusion comprehending the laws of heaven and earth—felt their primordial spirits clear in that instant, as if a layer of illusion had been removed.

"White Crane," Yuanshi Tianzun addressed the area outside the hall.

Upon hearing this, the powerful figure's white crane attendant respectfully bowed to the gate of Jade Void Palace, saying, "Master, the white crane is here."

"I will strike the Jade Purity Bell to summon all disciples, for I will now preach to them."

The White Crane Boy trembled, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Our master hasn't preached to his disciples for tens of thousands of years. I never expected that as soon as Senior Brother Huanglong returned, our master would preach to everyone.

However, the White Crane Boy dared not ask further and respectfully replied, "I obey your decree, Master."

He turned and walked to the center of the square, where a jade-like bell, about three zhang tall, stood, its entire body engraved with countless innate Dao patterns.

The White Crane Boy formed hand seals, his inner magical power surged, and his body radiated a pure and ethereal light.

"go!"

Three beams of spiritual light struck the Jade Purity Bell in succession.

"clang!"

The bell tolled, like a spring thunderclap, awakening all things.

An invisible sound wave emanated from the Jade Void Palace, and wherever it passed, the sea of ​​clouds parted to the sides, enveloping the immortal mountains of Kunlun.

The bell tolled through layers of space, ignoring all arrays and restrictions, resounding deep within the primordial spirit of every disciple of the Chan Sect.

Upon returning to his cave, Guang Chengzi, his expression grave, heard the Jade Purity Bell and recalled the sudden clarity of his mind he had just experienced: "Master has summoned us. Could it be because of Junior Brother Huanglong?"

The Antarctic Immortal, who was tending to the longevity peach tree in his own dojo, heard the sound of the Jade Purity Bell. Without thinking, he erected a beam of light, tore through the void, and headed towards the Jade Void Palace.

"Clang! Clang!"

Two more bells rang out in the Kunlun Mountains.

The Daoist essence contained in the bell caused countless immortal herbs and spiritual trees in Kunlun Mountain to sway and fall simultaneously. Immortal birds and spirit beasts, awakened by the bell's sound, cried out and knelt in the direction of Jade Void Palace.

In a mountain peak in the Kunlun Mountains, where the spiritual energy was most ordinary, Daoist Randeng slowly opened his eyes, which had only been closed for a short time.

"Yuqing Zhong..." Randeng frowned slightly. He had only recently left Yuxu Palace, and now Yuanshi Tianzun was summoning him again; this was clearly highly unusual. "Could this summons by the Sect Leader be related to that Yellow Dragon?"

He recalled the Yellow Dragon he had encountered in front of the Jade Void Palace, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

"Fine, since the leader has summoned me, whatever it is, I shall go and see." Ran Deng suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind, and his figure transformed into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated.

After the three tolls, the lingering sound echoed through the Kunlun Mountains, lingering for a long time.

After striking the Jade Purity Bell three times, the White Crane Boy returned to the gate of Jade Void Palace, straightened his clothes, and stood before the gate, ready to welcome the many disciples who were about to arrive.

The first to arrive was the Old Man of the South Pole.

The first disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun had already rushed to Yuxu Palace when the first bell rang. With his cultivation at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, no one except Randeng could get ahead of him.

"White Crane...!" The Antarctic Immortal arrived before the palace and asked gently, "Master, what brings you to summon us disciples?"

The White Crane Boy smiled and bowed. "Senior Brother Antarctic, I don't know either. I was merely following Master's decree to ring the bell and summon all of you!"

"Is Junior Brother Huanglong inside the hall?" the Antarctic Immortal asked again.

The white crane nodded!

Just then, a sound of something breaking through the air came from the horizon.

Guang Chengzi landed on his sword, looked at the Antarctic Immortal, and asked, "Senior Brother Antarctic, do you know why Master suddenly summoned us?"

At this moment, a figure appeared silently in front of the Jade Void Palace gate; it was none other than Randeng, the current vice leader of the Chan Sect.

Guang Chengzi, the Antarctic Immortal, and the White Crane greeted Randeng, saying, "Greetings, Vice Master."

Immediately afterwards, streaks of light descended from all directions!

As the spiritual light dissipated, disciples such as Chijingzi, Taiyi, Yuding, Cihang, and Puxian revealed themselves.

Upon seeing the lantern, these figures also bowed and paid their respects!

Ran Deng nodded to the crowd and said nothing more.

"Fellow disciples, please!" The White Crane Boy pushed open the gate of Jade Void Palace.

Everyone composed themselves and straightened their clothes. Randeng stepped into the Jade Void Palace first, followed closely by the other disciples.

The scene inside Jade Void Palace was already familiar to many disciples, so they were not surprised.

However, there was a figure standing in front of them with his back to them in the main hall.

A knowing look flashed in Guang Chengzi's and Antarctic Immortal's eyes...!

Taiyi Yuding and the others looked at each other, all seeing shock in each other's eyes.

When did Senior Brother Huanglong return?

Moreover, judging from this situation, Jade Void Palace must have a very close relationship with Yellow Dragon today.

Although they desperately wanted to exchange a few pleasantries with Huanglong, whom they hadn't seen for tens of thousands of years, and reconnect with their fellow disciples.

But in the presence of a sage, even though people had many thoughts in their minds, they dared not be negligent in their actions.

They all bowed deeply, their voices echoing throughout Jade Void Palace: "Greetings, Master (Sage)!"

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at his many disciples and Randeng, and nodded slightly.

"No need for formalities," said Yuanshi Tianzun, his voice calm and composed, yet imbued with profound majesty.

With a flick of his sleeve, Yuanshi Tianzun conjured up a dozen or so prayer mats on the ground in front of him.

Two of them are on either side of the cloud bed!

"Sit!" Yuanshi Tianzun said only one word.

Burning Lamp and the Old Man of the South Pole passed by the crowd and came to the sides of the cloud bed. Guided by their respective Daoist auras, they sat down on the futons.

Guang Chengzi, Huanglong, Taiyi, and others took their seats in the order that Yuanshi Tianzun had given his sermons in the past.

Once everyone was seated, Yuanshi Tianzun gently tapped the jade ruyi in his hand.

"bite......"

The crisp sound of jade striking echoed within the Jade Void Palace, and a rich Daoist aura appeared out of thin air, with various laws of heaven and earth manifesting in the void.

This is a sage preaching the Dao, where the essence of the Dao converges and the laws are manifested!

The people sitting cross-legged on the futons calmed their minds and waited for the sage on the cloud bed to speak.
