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

The sum of his foundations was the key to unlocking the gates of the Primordial Chaos!

Only by improving one's own foundation can one break through the shackles and attain the Dao of Hunyuan by taking advantage of the massive feedback from the overall improvement of the Jie Sect's strength!

Otherwise, if he had followed the established path, he would probably have ended up like most of the powerful beings in the prehistoric world, embarking on the path of a quasi-saint who relies on his three corpses.

That's not what he wanted!

In my mind, a cold, mechanical voice responded swiftly:

[Ding! Host requirements detected.]

[To unlock the next stage of functionality, the host must complete specific tasks.]

[Task: Invite a being whose background is rated as top-tier or above to join the Jie Sect.]

[Task Reward: Unlocks the total feedback feature.]

[Note: The assessment of a being's affinity with its origins is based on a combination of factors, including its affinity with its origins, potential, and destiny.]

Xuan Du was startled.

Invite a top-tier being to join the Jie Sect?

This task... is neither difficult nor easy.

The primordial world is vast, and there are many with deep roots and boundless potential.

However, the vast majority of them are already taken or have already left the family.

These beings are highly skilled and proud; how could they be easily swayed by him?

What's more, he also wants to join the Jie Sect!

Although the Jie Sect has a magnificent presence today, it is not the only major sect in the primordial world.

The two Western figures, the Lich and Demon races, and even some reclusive great powers, all have top-tier disciples under their command.

Trying to poach talent? That's too risky.

So far, we can only recruit those who have not yet taken human form or are new to the field.

Names flashed through his mind rapidly.

Suddenly, a name popped into his mind.

Kong Xuan!

The first peacock in the world, the prince of the Phoenix Clan, born from the innate five elements!

Its profound origins and immense potential place it firmly among the top ranks of the primordial world!

During the Investiture of the Gods, he relied on his innate divine power, the Five-Colored Divine Light, and was known as "the number one person below the sage".

During the Investiture of the Gods, he swept through the immortals of the Chan Sect. Although he was eventually subdued by the Sage Zhunti, there is no doubt about the terrifying power of his origins!

Most importantly, the Lich Wars had not yet completely ended at this time.

Kong Xuan is still in the Undying Volcano, and his cultivation level is at most that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal!

If Kong Xuan were to join the Jie Sect...

Not only can it add a future peerless warrior to the Jie Sect, but it can also immediately complete the system task and unlock the total feedback of the foundation!

At that time, thanks to the improvement brought by Kong Xuan's extraordinary background, coupled with the continued feedback from the future cultivation of the myriad immortals of the Jie Sect...

The realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal will no longer be an unattainable dream!

Xuan Du's eyes instantly turned fervent.

opportunity!

This is the road to heaven right before our eyes!

We must seize this opportunity!

With his thoughts settled, Xuandu no longer hesitated.

He felt the vast, star-like power of a peak-level Golden Immortal within his body, and an unprecedented sense of confidence welled up within him.

He has the Jie Sect and the Sage Tongtian behind him!

Given the prestige of the sage's lineage, if he were to recruit a descendant of the Phoenix Clan, promising him protection and a bright future on the Great Dao, I don't believe he wouldn't be tempted.

If his cultivation level is low and he hasn't yet reached his peak...

A cold glint flashed in Xuan Du's eyes.

Then we shall forcibly suppress them and take them back to Jin'ao Island!

The system task must be completed, as it concerns one's own path to enlightenment and cannot be neglected.

When you are a disciple of a sage, why should you be so hesitant and indecisive in your actions?

The Jie Sect emphasizes seizing every last chance of survival, so what's wrong with using drastic methods?

He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the valley.

The next moment, they quietly returned to that desolate cave.

The cave dwelling remained simple, incongruous with the power he now possessed.

But he didn't care at all.

After a brief moment of sensing to confirm that no one was paying attention to the area, Xuan Du moved again, transforming into a barely perceptible breeze, and silently left Jin'ao Island.

The instant he left the island, he stopped suppressing his speed.

"boom!"

The void seemed to be rippled open by an invisible force.

Xuan Du's figure transformed into an ultimate streak of light, tearing through the clouds and speeding towards the southern horizon!

Its speed far surpasses that of ordinary Golden Immortals!

With his peak Great Luo power fully unleashed and aided by the profound operation of the Shangqing Technique, he traversed endless mountains and rivers with each flash.

The vast, untamed land below receded rapidly.

The mountains and rivers resembled the lines of a chessboard, interspersed with scattered fragments of the battle between the witches and demons, yet not a single trace of his escaping light could touch them.

The objective is clear: the immortal volcano in the south!

......

at the same time.

At the summit of Shouyang Mountain stands the Tushita Palace.

The clouds and mist still swirl around, and the ancient Taoist charm still permeates the air.

The sage Laozi sat quietly on a futon, his eyes slightly closed, his breath in harmony with the Dao of Heaven, as if he had become a part of the rules.

Suddenly, a very subtle ripple appeared in the void outside the palace.

A beam of clear, ethereal light flashed, revealing the figure of a middle-aged Taoist priest.

He was dressed in a jade-pure Taoist robe, with a dignified face and eyes that seemed to hold the stars. His aura was vast and solemn, exuding an innate sense of nobility and order.

It was none other than the Jade Purity Saint, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

He did not deliberately conceal his aura, but when he stepped into the area of ​​the Tushita Palace, his vast holy might naturally merged into the Daoist charm of non-action in this place, without causing the slightest ripple.

Sensing the arrival of the Primordial Beginning, Lao Tzu slowly opened his eyes.

Those calm, still eyes looked at Yuan Shi without surprise or pleasantries, and simply spoke:

"My second brother is here."

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly as a greeting, and walked straight to the futon beside him to sit down.

There was no need for excessive formalities between him and Lao Tzu.

"Brother."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke, his voice steady and imposing.

"Your divine sense swept across the primordial world before, alarming countless living beings. Why was that?"

His gaze fell on Lao Tzu, with a look of inquiry.

A sage's single thought can move the entire world.

Lao Tzu's previous actions were by no means unfounded.

Lao Tzu's expression remained unchanged, and his tone remained indifferent:

"It's nothing, I just had a sudden feeling and was taking a look."

The Heavenly Venerable of Primordial Beginning frowned almost imperceptibly.

He knew his elder brother's temperament well; he was indifferent and serene, and ordinary things could hardly stir his emotions.

That kind of divine sense scanning could not be explained by the phrase "something I sensed by chance".

Although the secrets of heaven were obscured, he vaguely felt that this matter might be related to the human youth that Laozi had previously paid attention to.

"Could it be because of that human named Xuandu?"

Yuanshi Tianzun directly pointed it out.

"This child's fate seems to have changed; he's actually appeared on Junior Brother Tongtian's Golden Turtle Island?"

He led the Chan sect, obeying the will of Heaven, and was particularly sensitive to his origins and destiny.

The sudden turn in Xuan Du's destiny, and the chaotic heavenly secrets that enveloped him, naturally attracted his attention.

Upon hearing this, Lao Tzu's gaze remained calm. He neither denied nor elaborated, but simply said:

"The arising and ceasing of conditions are all predetermined."

Yuanshi Tianzun was clearly not satisfied with this answer.

He pondered for a moment, then solemnly said:

"Elder brother, when Junior Brother Tongtian established the Jie Sect, he falsely claimed that there should be no discrimination in teaching, and he accepted all those who were born from animals, whether they were hairy or horned, or born from eggs or moisture."

"If we act in this way, without considering background or fortune, our disciples will inevitably become a mixed bag, with their fortunes becoming chaotic, which may lead to disaster."

"Since Xuandu is destined to be with my elder brother, he should be accepted into the Renjiao sect and receive the Pure and Pure Great Dao."

"Now you have joined the Jie Sect and are associating with those who are born from eggs and moisture, which is not the right path."

His dissatisfaction with the Jie Sect's criteria for accepting disciples and his regret that Xuandu had gone astray were evident in his words.

Lao Tzu listened quietly, neither refuting nor agreeing.

After Yuanshi finished speaking, he slowly said:

"There is a way to reach the heavens."

"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together."

His tone was flat, revealing neither joy nor anger.

After all, the Three Pure Ones split up because of differences in sectarianism and ideology.

A barely perceptible hint of disdain flashed in Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes.

They are merely a lowly human race, with crude origins and shallow blessings.

These insignificant creatures, born in the sands of the primordial world, die in the morning and are no different from ants.

Are my eldest brother and my third brother Tongtian really so confused?

Why would anyone fight over this child?

It's understandable that my elder brother, who established the Human Religion and educated the human race, would pay attention to this person.

With countless immortals paying homage to the Heavenly Emperor, how prosperous it was! Why would he need to compete with his elder brother for a mere mediocre human?

This is utterly unbecoming of a saint; it's a complete waste of face.

He became increasingly skeptical of Tongtian's advocacy of education for all.

Those creatures that are born with fur and horns, and are born from eggs in wet environments, are shallow in nature, ignorant of destiny, and unaware of the principles of heaven.

Even if one has the opportunity and is lucky enough to be transformed, it is difficult to escape the barbaric and crude nature. How can one bear the Great Dao?

To associate with such beings is to be utterly depraved and to corrupt the orthodox tradition.

Xuan Du joined the Jie Sect and associated with these oviparous and moisture-born beings; his future was predictable.

It is feared that they will find it difficult to follow the right path, and will eventually fade into obscurity, possibly even jeopardizing the fortunes of the Jie Sect.

A pity, sigh.

The elder brother let him leave, saying that all causes and conditions are predetermined.

The way of non-action is perhaps too... passive.
