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

Inside the cave, the air was still.

The gaze of the Tongtian Sect Master was so tangible that it pierced through all of Xuandu's defenses and landed on his most fundamental foundation.

That was no longer the weak, acquired foundation of the human race.

Instead... it's the aura of chaos!

Ancient, vast, carrying the Daoist spirit from before the creation of the world, as deep as an abyss, as boundless as a sea of ​​stars!

Even though the Tongtian Sect Master's heart was calm and unwavering, a monstrous wave surged within his Dao heart at this moment!

"The origins of the Chaos Gods and Demons?"

His deep voice echoed in the silent cave, carrying a faint yet undeniably real disbelief.

How is that possible?

In the primordial world, everything was born from our own nature, a destiny ordained by the Great Dao!

To achieve improvement after the fact is already defying the heavens, as difficult as ascending to heaven.

And to reshape a human body acquired later into the foundation of a chaotic god or demon...

This is simply mind-blowing and defies common sense!

Nuwa's junior sister molded humans from clay, achieving sainthood through merit. He knew all too well the origins and potential of the human race she created.

Even Nuwa herself, a primordial deity, was far from reaching the level of a chaotic god or demon!

When Xuandu became his disciple, he and his elder brother and father could clearly see that he was indeed a human with a background acquired later in life. Although he had some special characteristics, they were limited.

It's only been a few days?

All told, it's only been a few days!

He actually rose from a mere mortal to not only condense the Three Great Luo Flowers but also trigger an eighth-grade extraordinary phenomenon...

Its eyes and feet have even transformed into the foundation of chaotic gods and demons that only exist in ancient legends!

What incredible miracle this is!

What an incredible stroke of luck!

The Tongtian Sect Leader's gaze was sharp as a sword, as if he wanted to see through everything inside and outside Xuandu.

"Your background...and your cultivation level..."

His voice was steady, yet it carried an undeniable skepticism.

"Just a few days ago, you were still a mortal being."

"Now, not only has his foundation undergone such a transformation, but his cultivation level has also..."

Xuan Du felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that the most crucial moment had arrived.

Before a saint, any lie is pale and powerless.

But he must not reveal the existence of the system.

He took a deep breath, calmed his wildly beating heart, and, with a timely look of bewilderment on his face, said:

"Reporting back to Master."

"This disciple...this disciple also does not know the specific reason."

"The day before yesterday, while practicing the Shangqing Kung Fu in my cave, I had a sudden realization and my mind sank into a profound and mysterious state of enlightenment."

"It's as if I'm glimpsing the scene of the beginning of chaos, where the Great Dao originated..."

His tone carried just the right amount of confusion and excitement.

"As if by some unseen force, I was being cleansed and rebuilt, cleansing my entire being..."

"When the disciple awoke, he felt... he felt that his own body and feet seemed different, and the three flowers within his Purple Mansion spontaneously condensed..."

"As for cultivation level..."

Xuan Du paused, seemingly recalling something.

"In that sudden enlightenment, it was as if one had gone through countless reincarnations; magical power increased spontaneously, and one's realm of understanding developed naturally..."

"When I woke up, I was already in... such a state."

At this point, he no longer tried to suppress his emotions.

boom!!!

A vast, boundless, perfect, and terrifying pressure, unique to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, suddenly erupted from his body!

The cave walls instantly became covered with tiny cracks, and the light of the restriction flickered wildly, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The spiritual energy converged on him like a tide, forming a vortex visible to the naked eye.

Its aura is as majestic as a mountain and as deep as the ocean!

Although it is not even one in a billion of saints, its pure level of power and its perfect and flawless Dao fruit are undeniable!

It is the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!

Genuine product at a fair price!

The Tongtian Sect Leader's pupils contracted almost imperceptibly.

Even though he was mentally prepared, witnessing and experiencing it firsthand still left him deeply shaken.

It was thought that Xuandu might have broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm by virtue of his extraordinary background, making him similar to Zhao Gongming, Kong Xuan, and others.

But to my utter surprise...

He was actually at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!

A single step to heaven, reaching the ultimate realm of the Great Luo!

What an astonishing progress this is!

Since the beginning of time, this has never happened before!

Even the Three Pure Ones, who inherited the merits of the creation of the world and had unparalleled lineage, had never made such an exaggerated leap in their cultivation.

A sudden realization?

What kind of sudden enlightenment could have such a miraculous effect?

The Master of Heaven remained silent.

His gaze swept over Xuandu once more.

The origins and Daoist aura of those chaotic gods and demons cannot be faked.

The immense magical power and solid foundation of a peak Great Luo Golden Immortal are also undeniable.

The secrets of heaven remain shrouded in mystery within this child, as if obscured by an invisible hand.

All clues seem to point to that mysterious enlightenment and serendipitous opportunity.

Could it be... that the Great Dao has truly favored this child, bestowing upon him such incredible fortune?

He gazed intently at Xuan Du.

This child has clear eyes; though he is nervous, there is no hint of cunning.

Although what he said was outrageous, it became the only seemingly reasonable explanation when combined with the various miracles that happened to him.

The Master of the Heavens slowly withdrew the probing intent from his gaze.

The immense, invisible pressure that had been exerting on Xuandu dissipated as a result.

The stagnant air inside the cave began to flow again.

"A Chaos God and Demon origin... Peak Great Luo Golden Immortal..."

The Master of the Heavens repeated it in a low voice, his tone returning to its usual indifference.

"Indeed... an extraordinary opportunity."

He did not ask for the specific reason.

The vast wilderness is full of wonders.

Some opportunities are destined to belong only to individuals; they cannot be forced or explored.

Since Xuandu is willing to join the Jie Sect and his heart is with the Jie Sect, then this is a blessing for the Jie Sect and a blessing for Tongtian!

With this child around, the fortunes of the Jie Sect will surely flourish even more!

It could become a major variable in the great calamity to come!

"You have received this good fortune, which is your own blessing."

The Tongtian Sect Leader spoke, his voice calm and unwavering.

"Strive diligently to cultivate and solidify your spiritual state, and do not waste this opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du felt a huge weight lifted from his heart.

Knowing this is the key to getting through it.

He quickly bowed, his tone sincere:

"Your disciple will humbly follow your teachings!"

"I will certainly strive to cultivate diligently, to live up to my master's high expectations, and to uphold the honor of the Jie Sect!"

Tongtian nodded slightly, the turmoil in the depths of his eyes completely subsided, leaving only an unchanging profundity and tranquility.

He looked at Xuan Du, his tone indifferent yet carrying an undeniable conclusion:

"Now that I have condensed the Three Flowers and reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, there is no need for me to remain here any longer."

"From this day forward, you will be my personally taught disciple of the Jie Sect, with a rank equal to Duobao and Jinling."

"You may choose a sacred mountain outside Biyou Palace, open a cave, and cultivate in peace, hoping to glimpse the Great Dao as soon as possible."

With those words, Xuandu's position within the Jie Sect was established.

Xuan Du's heart tightened at first, then he was overwhelmed with immense joy!

His original plan was to use the system's feedback to break through the threshold of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm in one fell swoop, and then find an opportunity to reveal some of his strength and improve his status in the sect.

Only with sufficient strength can one have a voice and implement the grand plans in his heart that concern the future of humanity and the Jie Sect.

Unexpectedly, the extraordinary phenomenon caused by the condensation of the three flowers was so terrifying that it unexpectedly brought the Sage Master to his side, who directly saw through his true nature!

His plans were disrupted, and he was initially terrified.

But at this moment, upon hearing the Tongtian Sect Leader personally promote him to a personal disciple and allow him to open a cave dwelling outside Biyou Palace...

This is like a perfect pillow for someone who's sleepy!

A personally taught disciple!

His status instantly rose to the same level as that of the most core and powerful figures in the Jie Sect, such as Duobao Daoren, Jinling Shengmu, and Wudang Shengmu!

The key point is outside Biyou Palace!

That was the true core area of ​​Jin'ao Island, with extremely rich spiritual energy and natural Daoist charm, far surpassing this desolate edge.

Opening a cave here is not only beneficial for spiritual practice, but also a symbol of status and position!

Recruiting humans into their religion and plotting to cope with the Great Calamity...

With these ideas, the obstacles to their implementation will be greatly reduced!

Xuandu quickly cupped his hands and said:

"I will obey my master's orders!"

Upon seeing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly, and was about to announce Xuandu's identity as a direct disciple when a vast and indifferent saintly aura suddenly descended outside Jin'ao Island.

Like a gentle breeze across a lake, it leaves no ripples, yet it freezes the entire East China Sea in an instant.

All the immortals were terrified, and all living beings bowed their heads.

"Brother?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader raised his eyebrows slightly, his gaze piercing through the void as he looked towards the outside of the island.

An elderly man dressed in a simple Taoist robe appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, standing above the sea of ​​clouds outside Jin'ao Island.

His aura was in harmony with the Dao of Heaven, serene and inactive; he was none other than Laozi, the Sage of Taiqing.

Lao Tzu did not force his way through the island's restrictions; he simply stood silently in the void.

His gaze calmly turned toward Biyou Palace.

More precisely, it was directed towards the remote cave dwelling where Xuandu was located.

The Master of the Heavens subtly understood.

The strange phenomena that Xuandu has triggered this time are too astonishing.

The chaotic god and demon's foundation, the eighth-grade three flowers condensed, and the aura soared to the sky.

How could they possibly hide this from Laozi, who had already been paying close attention to Xuandu?
