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

Outside Jin'ao Island.

The Tongtian Sect Leader annihilated the divine consciousness of the two Western Saints with a single sword strike, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

He slowly turned his gaze back to Xuan Du.

At this moment, on Jin'ao Island below, the cheers of the myriad immortals who had been overwhelmed by Xuandu's forced retreat of Yuanshi were still deafening.

"Senior Brother Xuandu!"

"Well said!"

The roar was like a tidal wave, surging and overflowing with the excitement of triumph and the fervent admiration for Xuandu.

The Master of Heaven did not stop them, but listened quietly.

He only spoke slowly when the sound wave naturally reached its peak and began to gradually subside.

The voice, though not loud, was crystal clear and overpowered the cheers of thousands, reaching the depths of the hearts of every disciple of the Jie Sect.

"Xuan Du".

Just two words, calm and unassuming, yet carrying an undeniable authority.

In an instant, the world fell silent.

The bustling Jin'ao Island seemed to have been frozen in time.

All the cheers, shouts, and discussions came to an abrupt halt in an instant.

All the disciples, whether they were personal disciples or outer disciples, held their breath and focused their attention on the void outside the island, on the young man in front of the blue-robed saint.

Xuan Du felt a chill run down his spine, knowing that his master had something important to announce.

He immediately composed himself, suppressing the slight ripples in his heart caused by the cheers of the immortals, stepped forward, bowed deeply, and spoke in a respectful and steady voice:

"Disciple is here."

The entire world, and countless eyes, are focused on this.

The Master of Heaven's gaze swept across the silent island below.

Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, Zhao Gongming, Sanxiao, Kong Xuan...

One by one, the core disciples eventually returned to Xuandu.

He spoke slowly, his voice like the grand pronouncements of the Dao, resounding throughout every corner of Jin'ao Island, proclaiming an established fact:

"Xuan Du".

"Although you have only been a beginner for a short time, you are resolute and courageous. Moreover, you have been blessed with great opportunities and the favor of the Great Dao. You have already condensed the Three Flowers of the Great Luo and your cultivation has reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal."

"Today, under the Holy Majesty, you remained neither humble nor arrogant, upholding the principles of the Jie Sect, safeguarding the dignity of the sect, and glorifying the Jie Sect's reputation."

"This dedication, this ambition, this achievement, this action deserves recognition!"

After a slight pause, the Tongtian Sect Leader's voice suddenly rose, carrying the supreme majesty of a Heavenly Saint whose words were law:

"From this day forward, Xuandu is a personally trained disciple of my Jie Sect!"

"Ranked the same as Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, Guiling, and Kongxuan!"

"Outside Biyou Palace, you may choose any blessed land on a sacred mountain to open your own cave and cultivate the Great Dao!"

"Enjoy all the authority of a direct disciple and be protected by the fortune of the Jie Sect!"

boom!

Although there was a premonition before these words were spoken, the fact that they were actually announced by the sage himself still caused a huge uproar in the hearts of his thousands of disciples!

A personally taught disciple!

This is the most core and most revered identity in the Jie Sect!

He is ranked alongside figures such as the Eldest Brother Duobao Daoist and the Golden Spirit Mother!

They enjoy supreme authority and preferential treatment in resources, and are also one of the important bearers of the destiny of the Jie Sect!

Throughout the vast Jie Sect, with countless immortals paying homage, those who could possibly receive such an honor are fewer than two hands deep!

Xuandu, how long has he been a member of the Jie Sect?

All things considered, it's only a few days!

He went from being an outer disciple to becoming a personal disciple!

What an incredible speed of improvement!

What great favor from the emperor!

However, apart from the gloomy-faced Chang Er Ding Guangxian, no one felt anything was wrong.

The foundation that triggered the chaotic phenomenon just now.

That's a genuine peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation level.

That unparalleled courage to confront the Jade Purity Saint directly, taking the Dao Ancestor as an example, and force the Saint to retreat with a single sentence that struck at the heart!

All of this is enough to prove that Xuandu is qualified!

We have the capability!

He deserves the position of direct successor!

After a brief silence.

On Jin'ao Island, a deafening roar erupted once again!

This time, it was no longer just cheers, but congratulations filled with recognition and reverence!

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Xuandu, on becoming a personal disciple!"

Congratulations, Senior Brother Xuandu!

The roaring sound surged into the sky, overflowing with genuine joy.

Daoist Duobao was the first to cup his hands in greeting, his expression calm, yet his eyes conveyed approval:

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Xuandu."

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit, surrounded by a radiant aura, nodded slightly.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Xuandu."

A faint smile appeared on the cold face of the Holy Mother of Wudang.

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit said with a smile:

"Junior Brother Xuandu, I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily, his voice booming like a bell:

"Good! Good! Good!"

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao also gave a graceful bow, while Bixiao blinked her beautiful eyes, full of curiosity and excitement.

Kong Xuan also bowed slightly to Xuan Du, his multicolored eyes filled with a hint of solemnity:

"Congratulations."

Xuandu bowed deeply to the Tongtian Sect Leader once again:

"Disciple Xuandu thanks Master for his great kindness!"

"I will certainly do my utmost to cultivate the Great Dao and protect the sect!"

The voice was firm and resounding.

The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded slightly, quite satisfied with Xuandu's statement.

With a flick of his sleeve, a ray of clear, ethereal light fell into Xuandu's hand.

It then transformed into a token engraved with the Taoist inscription "Shangqing".

"This is the token of a direct disciple. With this token, one may freely enter and exit the forbidden area outside Biyou Palace and enjoy the privileges of a direct disciple."

"Regarding the cave dwelling, you may choose a scenic spot among the peaks outside Biyou Palace, open it up, and then report it to Duobao."

"Yes, Master!"

Xuan Du respectfully accepted the token, feeling its smooth texture and subtle resonance with his own magical power, as well as a trace of the Jie Sect's fortune surrounding it.

Having made the arrangements, the Master of Heaven said no more.

His gaze swept over Xuandu one last time, his deep eyes holding an unfathomable meaning, before his figure slowly faded and disappeared.

The divine might completely dissipated, leaving only the lingering echoes of that inspiring proclamation and the still-fervent atmosphere on Jin'ao Island.

Xuan Du held the personal inheritance token in his hand, standing alone in the void, his robes fluttering gently in the remaining spiritual energy breeze.

Below, the gazes of countless disciples of the Jie Sect looked up in awe.

Beside him were fellow disciples with powerful auras, destined to become famous throughout the primordial world.

Daoist Duobao stepped forward, patted Xuandu on the shoulder, and said with a hint of emotion:

"Junior Brother Xuandu, congratulations. Master has high hopes for you."

Xuan Du composed himself and solemnly said:

"Xuan Du will certainly live up to the expectations of his master and senior brother."

Our Lady of Golden Spirit, Our Lady of Wudang, and others also stepped forward to offer their congratulations once again, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Zhao Gongming embraced Xuandu and laughed:

"Come on, let's go! Junior Brother Xuandu, today you've been promoted to a personal disciple, greatly enhancing the prestige of our Jie Sect. We should celebrate properly!"

"Come to my Luofu Cave, I still have a few jugs of my treasured celestial wine!"

Bixiao also exclaimed excitedly:

"Yes, yes, yes! It's a good opportunity for Junior Brother Xuandu to try the Cloud Dew that I brewed!"

Xuan Du felt a warmth in his heart from the enthusiasm of the crowd, but he was not overwhelmed by it.

He cupped his hands and smiled:

"Thank you, Senior Brother Gongming, and thank you all for your kindness."

"It's just that my junior brother has just broken through, and his realm still needs to be stabilized. He hasn't chosen a cave dwelling yet, and there are many other things to do."

"Once Junior Brother is settled, we will prepare a small feast to invite all the senior brothers and sisters to a gathering. At that time, I will definitely have a good drink with Senior Brother Gongming!"

His words were sincere and his reasons were sound.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming and the others did not press the matter and all laughed:

"That's how it should be!"

"Then it's settled. We'll come and bother you again once Junior Brother Xuandu's cave dwelling is completed!"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the disciples transformed into streaks of light and dispersed, returning to their respective cave dwellings.

Xuan Du stood still and let out a long sigh of relief.

Today's events can be described as magnificent and dramatic.

From the extraordinary phenomenon caused by the condensation of the Three Flowers, to the successive arrivals of sages, to the verbal exchange with the Primordial Celestial Venerable, and finally being promoted to a personal disciple...

Every step was thrilling.

Fortunately, the final result far exceeded expectations.

Not only did it solidify its foundation, but it also gained the background of a Chaos God and Demon and the cultivation of a peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

He further established his prestige among the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect and gained the esteemed status of a direct disciple!

All of this paved the way for his next plan.

Just then, after the disciples below had left, one figure remained standing there, stunned.

It was none other than the Long-Eared Immortal Dingguang.

Upon seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Xuandu's eyes.

Then he stepped forward and stood in front of Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.
