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

Kong Xuan was startled to see Xuan Du deep in thought.

Could it be that Xuandu is going to Beihai?

Then he asked his own guess:

"Junior brother, do you perhaps... intend to go and search for him yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Xuandu nodded slightly:

"Exactly."

Kong Xuan frowned deeply:

"Junior brother, that place is no ordinary place."

"Kunpeng's dojo is in the North Sea. He is also a demon master of the Demon Court. You offended the Demon Court before, and I'm afraid that guy will take action."

"Although you have reached the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, your cultivation period is still short, and your foundation is not as solid as those veteran Quasi-Saints."

Why take such a great risk?

Xuan Du smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, senior brother, I know what I'm doing."

"and......"

He paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes:

"The Golden-Winged Roc possesses both Yin and Yang energies, and its innate supernatural powers are of great benefit to our Jie Sect."

"It's worth taking some risks for the sake of the Jie Sect and for my senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan's eyes flickered.

He looked at Xuandu, his expression complex.

This junior brother may seem reckless, but he is actually very strategic and values ​​loyalty and righteousness, and he is willing to sacrifice himself for teaching.

It is truly a great fortune for the Jie Sect to have such disciples.

When Xuandu personally invited him, he actually considered making a move.

I deserve to die!

"Junior brother..."

Kong Xuan took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed solemnly:

"If you can truly find Dapeng and persuade him to join the sect, Kong Xuan... will be eternally grateful."

Xuan Du quickly stood up and returned the greeting:

"Senior brother, you flatter me. This is how it should be between fellow disciples."

Kong Xuan straightened up, pondered for a moment, took out a five-colored feather from his robes, and handed it to Xuan Du.

"This is my original feather, containing a trace of the Five Elements imprint."

"The roc and I share the same origin. Upon seeing these feathers, it should know that they are my intention."

"Perhaps... it will reduce his resistance."

Xuan Du took the feather; it felt warm and smooth to the touch, with five-colored light flowing around it, and the Daoist rhyme of the Five Elements permeating it.

"Thank you, senior brother."

He put away the feathers and cupped his hands in greeting:

"Without further ado, I shall set off for Beihai now."

Kong Xuan nodded:

"Junior brother, be careful."

"If something is impossible, do not force it; prioritize your own safety."

Xuan Du smiled slightly and said:

"nature."

After saying that, he blurred into a streak of azure sword light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Kong Xuan stood in front of the cave entrance, gazing in the direction Xuan Du had left, remaining silent for a long time.

The light in the five-colored eyes shimmered, eventually turning into a soft sigh that blended into the mountain breeze.

"Dapeng... I hope you can understand my good intentions."

The Jie Sect... perhaps it truly is the best destination for these brothers.

He turned and stepped into the cave, where the restrictions slowly closed.

Kunlun Mountain, Yuxu Palace.

Auspicious clouds and auspicious omens abound.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat high on a cloud bed, his body surrounded by pure and ethereal light, subtly in harmony with the Dao of Heaven.

His eyes were slightly closed, as if he were wandering in the vast emptiness, comprehending the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

Ever since that confrontation on the shores of the East China Sea a century ago, when Xuandu's probing questions caused his Dao heart to become unbalanced, he has rarely left the Jade Void Palace.

On the surface, he appears to be calmly contemplating and consolidating his sacred state.

In fact, that pent-up frustration has not completely dissipated to this day.

A sage is imperishable through countless eons, and his heart remains undisturbed.

But that is on the premise of not touching the fundamental path and not damaging the orthodox dignity of Pangu.

Xuan Du, a mere junior human, actually managed to force him and his elder brother Taiqing into a predicament in front of many powerful beings in the prehistoric world.

Finally, Nuwa appeared and completely blocked their obstruction with the principles of teacher-student relationships and ethics.

This is not just about facial disfigurement.

It was also a blatant provocation against his doctrines!

How dare a human boy who got lucky out of being a member of the Jie Sect, a group of creatures born from wet eggs and covered in fur and horns, do this?

Whenever Yuanshi Tianzun thought of this place, a faint but indelible trace of malevolence would linger in the depths of his sacred heart.

suddenly.

"Um?"

The Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning twitched almost imperceptibly, and his closed eyes suddenly opened!

His eyes flashed with a pure, celestial light, piercing through layers of palaces and traversing endless void, instantly locking onto the direction of Jin'ao Island on the shore of the East China Sea.

Just a moment ago, he clearly sensed a familiar primordial Daoist aura rising from Jin'ao Island and rushing northward!

"Xuan Du?"

The gaze of the Primordial Celestial Venerable turned icy cold instantly.

He would never mistake that Daoist aura!

A hundred years ago, it was this very primordial Daoist energy that confronted his elder brother Taiqing right in front of him, stood up against Nuwa, and ultimately forced him to suffer damage to his Dao heart!

Now, this aura is even more powerful and refined than it was a hundred years ago, perfectly harmonious and unimpeded, clearly indicating that it has reached the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!

"Middle of a hundred years..."

The Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning's fingers curled slightly within his sleeve, and the Jade Pure Immortal Light flickered uncertainly at his fingertips.

Even with his saintly composure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion once again.

The speed at which this child improves is simply astonishing!

This can no longer be explained by innate talent; he must have been given an unimaginable, heaven-defying opportunity!

"At this moment, I left Jin'ao Island and headed north alone..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's gaze was profound, piercing through the void as he tracked the azure sword light.

The North... is vast and boundless, with many dangerous places.

"North Sea?"

He quickly determined the general direction.

What was Xuandu doing in Beihai?

That place is frozen year-round, with chaotic currents raging and no living beings to be found. Even a Great Immortal would not dare to set foot there easily.

Unless... there's something there that attracts him, or... people?

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's thoughts raced, and the sage's mind instantly deduced countless possibilities.

However, the secrets of heaven are obscure, and the purpose of Xuandu's trip remains a mystery, as if shrouded by an invisible force.

"It's always like this..."

The Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning's expression darkened slightly.

This child indeed harbors a great secret, capable of even interfering with the secrets of heaven.

However, this does not prevent him from making a judgment.

Regardless of what Xuandu's purpose was in going to the North Sea, it was an opportunity for him!

A golden opportunity!

The humiliation of a century ago, the wounds to the Daoist heart, the loss of the prestige of the Chan Sect... how can all of this be easily forgotten?

However, Xuandu was on Jin'ao Island, protected by Tongtian, and as his senior uncle, he couldn't very well go to him in person.

Now, Xuandu has actually left the sage's abode alone, venturing deep into the treacherous and unpredictable North Sea...

This is a golden opportunity!

"A lesson... must be taught."

A fierce glint flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes, but he then frowned slightly.

He took action personally?

inappropriate.

If a sage were to personally take action against a junior, even if it was just to teach him a lesson, it would be seen as bullying the weak, which would only invite ridicule from the prehistoric world and give Tongtian something to talk about.

Should I send my disciples?

Among the twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, Guang Chengzi, who currently has the highest cultivation level, is only at the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Xuandu is already in the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and the difference in strength is huge. Going there would be embarrassing enough.

So...

The Primordial Celestial Venerable shifted his gaze, landing on a side hall deep within the Jade Void Palace.

The Taoist Master Ran Deng.

This ancient being once listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace and was one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao, along with the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti.

Because he had never obtained the Primordial Purple Qi, he was ineligible for a sainthood and ultimately chose to join the Chan Sect. He was appointed as the Vice Sect Leader by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, a position of great prestige, second only to the saints.

Burning Lamp's cultivation was profound; he had already reached the peak of Quasi-Saint.

Its origins are ancient and its foundation profound. Furthermore, it wields the innate spiritual treasure, the Coffin Lamp, and its methods are unpredictable.

It would be perfect for him to teach Xuandu a lesson!

Moreover, as the vice leader of the Chan Sect, Randeng's position was above that of Xuandu, a direct disciple of the Jie Sect.

The deputy leader instructs his personal disciples, exchanging ideas and discussing the Dao. Even if the heavens know all this, as long as it doesn't harm their life or foundation, they can hardly use it as an excuse to make a fuss.

"good."

A smile appeared on the lips of the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

With a thought, a beam of pure immortal light, imbued with the will of a sage, entered the side hall.
