Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 12 012 The Three Pure Ones Prove the Dao

The Golden Immortal realm emphasizes understanding one's own path. No matter how good another's path may be, it may not be suitable for oneself. Therefore, before reaching the Taiyi realm, Tongtian would not pass on the Shangqing Sword Dao and the Shangqing Formation Dao.

The purpose is to prevent children from going astray.

Now that Wei Guang has entered the Taiyi realm and his foundation in Tao is established, Tongtian naturally has no more concerns.

As he spoke, Tongtian raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and pointed it towards Wei Guang's brow. The cultivation methods of Shangqing Formation Dao and Shangqing Sword Dao transformed into two beams of light, surging into Wei Guang's brow.

After receiving the message, Wei Guang bowed to Tongtian and said, "Thank you, Master, for transmitting the Dharma."

Tongtian nodded slightly: "Cultivate diligently. As my direct disciple, the inheritance of my Tongtian lineage still depends on you to carry it forward."

Wei Guang said loudly, "I will certainly live up to Master's expectations."

"If there's nothing else, you can go now." Tongtian waved his hand casually.

"Uh... um... Master, I want to learn the art of weapon crafting from my second senior uncle." Wei Guang felt a little guilty as he said this, after all, he didn't know if Tongtian would mind.

Tongtian's open-mindedness surprised Wei Guang somewhat. He said calmly, "In that case, go and find your second senior uncle."

Wei Guang's eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master. This disciple will take his leave."

After leaving Shangqing Palace, Wei Guang went straight to Yuqing Palace and bowed to the palace, saying, "Wei Guang requests an audience with Second Martial Uncle."

"Come in."

As the words fell, the doors of the Jade Purity Palace slowly opened, and Wei Guang stepped inside.

Yuanshi, sitting at the head of the table, carefully examined Wei Guang and felt a little uneasy, thinking that his third brother's luck was too good.

To think I've acquired such a beautiful piece of jade.

The transition from Golden Immortal to Taiyi is a huge hurdle. If one's talent is insufficient, it is not impossible to be trapped at the Golden Immortal level for a lifetime. However, Wei Guang broke through this hurdle in just a few thousand years.

Thousands of years may seem like a long time, but for them, it was just a period of seclusion.

"I already know why you've come. This is the weapon-crafting inheritance of my Yuqing lineage, which also contains some of my annotations. Take it and cultivate it well."

As he spoke, Yuanshi transmitted the Dharma with a single finger.

Wei Guang bowed and said, "Thank you, Second Uncle."

Just as Wei Guang was about to take his leave, Yuanshi waved his hand and handed a bracelet to Wei Guang, saying, "There are some materials inside that I don't need. You can use them to practice."

Although Wei Guang was not under his tutelage, Yuanshi would naturally not mind helping to polish such a beautiful piece of jade.

Wei Guang was overjoyed, accepted the gift, and bowed again in gratitude: "Wei Guang, thank you very much, Uncle Master."

"Go."

Yuanshi waved his hand, and Wei Guang did not linger any longer. After bowing, he left Yuqing Palace and returned directly to Xingying Palace.

In the days that followed, Wei Guang gradually calmed down and stayed in Xingying Palace to study and comprehend the Shangqing Sword Technique and the Yuqing Artifact Dao.

As for the Shangqing Formation, it has been temporarily set aside.

It wasn't that Wei Guang looked down on the Shangqing Formation Dao, but rather that he had grasped a trace of the true meaning of the laws of swordsmanship and weaponry, making it easier for him to comprehend the Shangqing swordsmanship and the Yuqing weaponry.

A century later, Wei Guang, having achieved initial enlightenment, stopped and turned to cultivating the Samadhi Fire.

Whether it's alchemy or weapon crafting, flames are crucial, and the strongest flame Wei Guang can currently access is the Samadhi True Fire recorded in the Shangqing Immortal Manual.

Once the origin is fully restored, it may be possible to condense the true fire of the sun.

Fifty years later, Wei Guang finally cultivated the Samadhi True Fire and officially began his first attempt at weapon forging, using only some ordinary materials provided by Yuanshi.

Around the same time, Lao Tzu, unable to grasp the opportune moment for enlightenment, decided to go for a walk.

As they walked, they unknowingly arrived at the shores of the East Sea and saw the human race created by Nuwa. Sensing something, Laozi concealed his aura and entered the human territory.

Walking and stopping, five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past five hundred years, he has witnessed the diverse forms of humanity. Although human life has improved significantly since its inception, it still lags far behind that of other living beings.

On this day, Lao Tzu came to a tribe and saw a young man. In an instant, the primordial purple energy within his body stirred.

In an instant, Laozi understood and released his own aura. The surrounding humans were dumbfounded and bowed down, but Laozi ignored them and went to the young man.

"I am Taiqing Laozi. We have a predestined relationship as master and disciple. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

The boy was overjoyed and immediately knelt down, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

"Alright, from today onwards, you will be my eldest disciple, and from now on you will be called Xuandu."

As he spoke, Laozi looked up at the sky and said, "I, Taiqing Laozi, am saddened by the weakness of the human race and wish to spread the Dao among them. Therefore, I have established a religion called the Human Religion. I will use the Taiji Diagram, a supreme innate treasure, to suppress the destiny of humanity. The Human Religion is hereby established."

As soon as Lao Tzu finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao was moved, and purple qi came from the east for three thousand miles. Heavenly Dao merits, like a cascading waterfall, rolled in and surged towards Lao Tzu.

"combine."

Lao Tzu wished to unite his three corpses into one, but they could not merge. Helpless, he could only choose to absorb the merits of the Heavenly Dao.

Under the influence of the Heavenly Dao's merits, the Primordial Purple Qi within Laozi dissolved and completely merged with it, and then he finally took the last step, proving himself a saint.

As early as when Lao Tzu made his vow to establish his teachings, powerful figures from all sides sensed this and their attention was drawn to where Lao Tzu was.

Kunlun Mountain.

Having already entered the Taiyi realm, Wei Guang was no longer the same as before. He also sensed Laozi's enlightenment and flashed out, standing outside the Xingying Palace, gazing at the shore of the East Sea.

At this moment, his gaze could pierce through the void. Although he couldn't see very clearly, he could still get a glimpse of it.

"Congratulations to the Sage Taiqing on attaining enlightenment."

"Congratulations to the Sage Taiqing on attaining enlightenment."

"Congratulations to the Sage Taiqing on attaining enlightenment."

……

As the sage's might swept across the primordial world, congratulations echoed everywhere. Wei Guang also bowed towards the shore of the East Sea: "Congratulations, Grandmaster Uncle, on attaining sainthood."

However, Lao Tzu's attainment of enlightenment was only the beginning.

"I, Yuqing Yuanshi, hereby establish a religion called the Chan Sect. In accordance with the Mandate of Heaven, I will expound the Way of Heaven and use the Pangu Banner, a supreme treasure of the Primordial Heaven, to suppress the destiny. The Chan Sect is hereby established."

As the voice of the Primordial Beginning spread from Kunlun Mountain throughout the primordial world, extraordinary phenomena reappeared.

Boundless merit surged from the heavens, pouring into Yuanshi's body. The next second, Yuanshi successfully broke free of his shackles and attained sainthood.

Throughout the vast wilderness, congratulatory greetings rose and fell in various forms.

"I, Shangqing Tongtian, hereby establish a sect called the Jie Sect. The Great Dao is fifty, and the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine. My Jie Sect teaches all without discrimination, and aims to seize a glimmer of life for all living beings in the world. The Qingping Sword will be the treasure that guards the sect. The Jie Sect is established."

As the heaven-reaching voice resounded, all the powerful figures from all sides of the primordial world were stunned. When would this ever end?

However, congratulations were still due, but afterward, everyone looked westward. Of Hongjun's disciples, only the two Western Saints remained.

Of course, there is also a wild red cloud.

"I, Jieyin and Zhunti, have observed the suffering of all beings. I hereby establish a religion called the Western Religion to universally save all beings. The twelve-petaled golden lotus of merit will be used to suppress the fate of all beings. The Western Religion is hereby established."

Sure enough, the voices of Jieyin and Zhunti resounded throughout the heavens and earth in the next second.
