Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

The primordial continent is vast and boundless.

Shouyang Mountain, majestic and imposing, stands tall in the eastern part of the ancient wilderness.

The mountains stretch endlessly, the spiritual energy is like mist, and the rosy clouds and auspicious colors abound.

This place is the Daoist temple of Lao Tzu, the sage of Taiqing, a place of tranquility and non-action, where the Daoist essence is naturally present.

At the foot of the mountain, a young man opened his eyes in a daze.

"Where...am I?"

Xuandu was completely bewildered at this moment.

He remembered that he had just taken a nap, so how did he end up in this desolate wilderness when he woke up?

He looked around and saw ancient trees reaching for the sky, their spiritual energy so dense it was almost impenetrable; even a single breath made him feel refreshed.

"Did we time travel?"

Before he could think it through, a torrent of complex memories rushed into his mind.

a long time.

Xuan Du slowly raised his head, his eyes no longer filled with confusion, but with endless shock and a hint of... ecstasy?

He merged the memories of this body.

This is the primordial world!

And he became Xuandu!

He was the only direct disciple of Laozi, the future sage of Taiqing!

Xuan Du looked on incredulously and muttered:

"I woke up to find myself transmigrated into Xuandu? My future only disciple?"

This start... is absolutely perfect!

Xuandu was so excited he almost trembled.

Having been intimately familiar with the plot of the prehistoric era, he knew all too well what this meant.

Backed by the People's Teachings, a disciple of the sage!

Taiqing Laozi has now become a saint, established the Human Religion, and educated the human race. He is one of the six most powerful saints in the prehistoric world, and his strength is unfathomable.

As his only disciple, he held an extremely noble status and could practically roam freely throughout the primordial world.

The Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods?

That concerns the Jiejiao and Chanjiao sects, and has little to do with the Renjiao sect.

He can live a completely peaceful life; his safety factor is off the charts!

"Ten years... According to my memory, I have been kneeling here, hoping to become a disciple of the sage, for ten years now."

"It seems that Lao Tzu has not yet appeared to accept disciples?"

Xuan Du carefully sorted through his memories, and his heart was filled with joy.

This means that he hasn't formally become an apprentice yet, and everything is just right!

The trajectory of fate is not yet completely fixed, and he can use his foresight to plan for the greatest benefit!

"Safe, very safe!"

"This identity gives me a real sense of security!"

Xuan Du almost burst out laughing.

With a sage as our backer, what is there to fear?

As long as you don't do anything reckless, the future is bright!

[Host detected to have transmigrated to the prehistoric world.]

[System binding in progress... 1%... 50%... 100%...]

[Binding successful!]

Xuandu was stunned for a moment, then his joy almost burst out of his head!

system!

The cheat system that's standard for time travelers! It's finally here!

"Hahaha! Heaven is on my side!"

"With a sage master and a system cheat, can't I, Xuandu, just walk around this primordial world however I want?"

"I have absolutely no idea how I could lose!"

He was crying out in his heart, feeling that the future was bright and that the realm of sainthood was beckoning him.

He couldn't wait to communicate with the system and check its functions.

[Summary System]

[Host: Xuandu]

[Realm: None]

[Sect/Organization: None]

[System Function: After joining a sect, the host can obtain the total cultivation level, foundation, techniques, comprehension, and supernatural abilities of all disciples in that sect in real time. Upon leaving a sect or the sect's destruction, the information is reset to zero.]

[Currently Unlocked: Total Cultivation Points Obtainable]

A series of messages flooded into Xuandu's mind.

At first, he was excited.

How to obtain the combined strength of all disciples in the entire sect?

This feature sounds incredible!

But the next second, the smile on his face froze.

and many more......

What is the total strength of the disciples within the sect?

Xuan Du's expression gradually became more interesting.

According to the prehistoric world storyline, Laozi of Taiqing established the Humanist Sect and became a saint, emphasizing governance through non-action!

Until the time of the Investiture of the Gods, he was the only known direct disciple, Xuandu!

In other words, if he were to follow his predetermined fate and join the Human Religion...

Therefore, the feedback on the sect's strength that he can obtain will forever only be based on his own strength!

Earthly Immortal is himself, Celestial Immortal is himself, True Immortal, Mysterious Immortal, Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal...

Even if he cultivates to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, the feedback he receives is still his own individual strength!

This system is as good as nothing to him!

Most importantly, it's not just about cultivation level, but also about background and techniques.

"This...this is fucking..."

Xuan Du almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

My joy was extinguished by a bucket of ice water, leaving me feeling utterly chilled.

sense of security?

Joining the People's Church is indeed safe.

But having this system and still clinging to the human teachings is like holding a golden rice bowl and begging for food—a complete waste!

His thoughts involuntarily drifted to the Jie Sect!

Under the command of the Tongtian Sect Master, a sliver of heavenly secrets is seized, teaching without discrimination, and all immortals come to pay homage!

What a magnificent sight that was!

The number of disciples under his tutelage is the largest in the entire primordial world!

Personal disciples, attendant immortals, outer disciples, nominal disciples... are scattered throughout the prehistoric world, numbering in the tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands!

Although the quality varies, the sheer number of them is overwhelming!

Even if each disciple is only at the Celestial Immortal or True Immortal level on average, the total strength of these tens of thousands would be an incredibly terrifying number.

A Great Luo Golden Immortal? That's probably just the beginning!

Even... reaching the realm of a sage!

Moreover, this is sustainable growth!

As the Jie Sect develops and its disciples cultivate, his strength will rise accordingly! He can become stronger effortlessly!

As for the risks?

The Investiture of the Gods was indeed a calamity for the Jie Sect.

But that was a long time later.

The Lich Wars haven't even ended yet.

Before that, he had plenty of time to use the system to rapidly improve his strength.

What does a great calamity matter if one is strong enough?

We might still be able to fight for that sliver of hope!

In contrast, the People's Education Press is safe, but its future... is almost predictable.

Without the system's support, Xuan Du's ultimate achievement would most likely be the same as in the original story: a peak Quasi-Saint at best, still nothing more than an ant in front of a Saint.

Beat a fight, bike change bike!

Xuan Du's gaze instantly became incredibly firm.

"We can't worship the Human Sect anymore; we can only take off by joining the Intercepting Sect!"

Even if you become just an ordinary disciple, as long as you join, you'll take off immediately.

After all, the Jie Sect already has quite a few disciples.

Among them were powerful figures such as Duobao Daoren and Zhao Gongming.

Although they are currently at most at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, that is enough for Xuandu.

He recalled that in the original story, Xuandu knelt and worshipped here for decades, enduring wind and rain, with unwavering resolve, before finally moving the sage and being allowed to enter the sect.

Decades?

Xuandu can't wait.

Time is strength, time is opportunity!

The great calamity of the Lich King has not yet ended; it is a time of chaos in the primordial world, a time when opportunities abound.

However, a practical problem quickly surfaced in his mind.

Jin'ao Island is located deep in the East China Sea, hidden among the vast waves and innate formations. It cannot be found or entered by anyone without great opportunity and great magical power.

Xuan Du, on the other hand, is now just an ordinary mortal with no cultivation whatsoever!

Let alone finding Jin'ao Island, they might even perish in the jaws of monsters along the way.

It is no exaggeration to say that one can never reach this place in their lifetime!

Just then, the system notification sounded again:

[New player gift pack has been distributed: 1 teleportation scroll]

[Teleportation Talisman: Can teleport to any location in the primordial world; single-use only.]

Xuan Du's eyes lit up.

Jin'ao Island!

The Jie Sect's training ground!

The primordial wilderness was vast and untamed, a place he, a mere mortal, could never reach in his lifetime.

This talisman perfectly dispels my last remaining concerns!

He gripped the teleportation talisman tightly, his mind resolute.

"Lao Tzu cultivated the Way of Non-Action, which is without emotion or desire."

"If I were to enter this path, I fear I would become a heartless person."

"They don't even care about the rise and fall of humanity, let alone the seven emotions and six desires?"

"Human religion? Even dogs wouldn't worship it!"

Without further hesitation, he used a teleportation talisman to locate Jin'ao Island.

Xuan Du then vanished without a trace.

Just then, a divine sense surged out from the summit of Shouyang Mountain, as vast as a sea of ​​stars, sweeping across the cliffs.

I sensed that the place where someone should have been kneeling in worship was empty.

The divine sense paused.
