Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 63 063 The Peach Banquet for Accepting Disciples

When Laozi returned from the underworld and heard that the underground passage was unharmed, Hongjun and the others breathed a sigh of relief. However, it was only a sigh of relief, because another problem still lay before them.

Should we focus on the present or the future?

Strangely, Hongjun didn't ask Laozi and the others, but instead looked at Wei Guang: "What do you think we should do now?"

"Huh?" Wei Guang looked completely bewildered.

He never expected that Hongjun would ask him such a question. If he was going to ask, he should at least explain why he destroyed Buzhou Mountain and why he suppressed the underground passages and the human way.

If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to weigh the pros and cons?

Perhaps sensing Wei Guang's thoughts, Tongtian explained, "When the world is first formed, it must go through various tribulations. Among them, the last tribulation will be the final tribulation that destroys the world."

"The final catastrophe that destroys the world is beyond human power to stop; even if there are many saints, it will be of no use."

"Breaking down Mount Buzhou and suppressing the underground and human realms both weaken the origin of the world, causing the primordial world to be downgraded, thereby weakening the power of the final cataclysm."

Upon hearing this, Wei Guang suddenly realized what was going on.

However, everyone present was a saint. He wondered why Hongjun would ask him such a question. He was just a minor Golden Immortal. What virtue or ability did he have to influence the choices of the saints?

Hongjun said, "Speak freely and without worry."

After thinking for a moment, Wei Guang said, "Grandmaster, I believe that if we cannot even survive this moment, then there is no question of a future catastrophe."

Hongjun then asked, "So, what do you think we should do to deal with the demonic prehistoric world?"

Wei Guang was completely dumbfounded.

He really wanted to say, "Brother, I'm just a minor Golden Immortal, how could I possibly answer this kind of question?"

"Alright, you may leave now." Hongjun perhaps realized that this question was a bit difficult for Wei Guang, so he stopped asking and instead took out the Qiankun Earth and handed it to Wei Guang.

"This disciple takes his leave." Wei Guang accepted the Qiankun Cauldron, feeling quite pleased.

Before he could stand up straight, Tongtian waved his hand, and Wei Guangren had already left Zixiao Palace and returned to the outside of Xuanshan Tribe.

After staying outside the Xuanshan tribe for several more years, Wei Guang finally entered the Xuanshan tribe. Youchao and others were already waiting for Wei Guang's arrival at the Wujie family in Xuanshan.

"We pay our respects to our senior."

Wei Guang waved his hand to lift them up, then looked intently at Xuan Shan Wu Jie, who had grown into an adult.

At just over ten years old, Xuanshan Wujie had already grown into a burly man over two meters tall, with dark skin and a somewhat honest and simple appearance.

One can only say that they truly deserve to be called the ancient human race.

"We have a master-disciple relationship, and I wish to take you as my disciple. Would you be willing?"

Previously, Wei Guang found it troublesome and was unwilling to take on disciples, but after his first journey to the stars and seeing the path ahead clearly, he had no choice but to accept them.

Fortunately, since humans do not have the concept of origin or origin, they can practice any cultivation method, making them perfect for spreading the Dao.

"Disciple greets Master." Xuan Shan Wu Jie bowed without any hesitation.

"Very well, then you shall be my first disciple."

Wei Guang did not rush to bestow treasures. Xuan Shan Wu Jie was merely a Celestial Immortal with the cultivation level, and did not know how to use magic power at all.

"I will teach him outside the Xuanshan tribe for five hundred years." After saying that, Wei Guang directly lifted Xuanshan Wujie and disappeared from the sight of Youchao and the others, completely disregarding their attitude.

Returning to that familiar mountain, Wei Guang passed on the Hongmeng Star Dao Scripture to Xuan Shan Wu Jie.

After Xuan Shan Wu Jie finished receiving the teachings, Wei Guang began to preach to him. It was not about reshaping his Dao foundation. Xuan Shan Wu Jie was just a blank sheet of paper at the moment, so there was no need for such a thing.

The principles being taught are analyses of each state of being.

A century later, Xuan Shan Wu Jie officially began his cultivation, while Wei Guang continued to perfect the Hongmeng Star Scripture, and also refined the Immortal-Slaying Gourd and the Seven Arrows Nailhead Book.

He would occasionally give Xuan Shan Wu Jie some pointers on his cultivation and teach him some supernatural techniques.

Seeing Xuan Shan Wu Jie's cultivation speed, Wei Guang finally understood what it meant to be a darling of heaven and earth.

He broke through to the Celestial Immortal realm in fifty years, entered the Profound Immortal realm in a hundred years, and reached the Golden Immortal realm in just three hundred years. It can only be said that he is worthy of being the reincarnation of the Heaven-Supporting Profound Turtle.

Although humans are also favored by this world, their cultivation speed is nowhere near as exaggerated as his.

On this day, Wei Guang suddenly had a whim and calculated with his fingers, only to find that the first Heavenly Peach Banquet was about to begin. So he summoned Xuan Shan Wu Jie and took him to the heavens to attend the banquet.

"We pay our respects to the Emperor."

Upon arriving at the South Heavenly Gate, the guards greeted Wei Guang with bows and respect.

No need for formalities.

Lifting everyone up, Wei Guang led Xuan Shan Wu Jie straight into the Heavenly Court. The latter was like a country bumpkin entering the city for the first time, looking left and right, finding everything new and exciting.

"Senior Brother."

Upon arriving outside Yaochi, they encountered Zhao Gongming and his companions, who had come together with them. The group immediately came to greet them.

"Wu Jie, I've come to pay my respects to your senior uncles. This is your senior uncle Gongming, this is your senior uncle Jinling, and this is your senior uncle Jinyu." Wei Guang introduced Zhao Gongming and the others to Xuanshan Wu Jie.

"Nephew Xuanshan Wujie greets Uncle Gongming..."

Xuan Shan Wu Jie was quite perceptive. Seeing that the group addressed Wei Guang as "Senior Brother," he immediately recognized their identities and bowed in greeting.

"Alright, alright, no need for formalities."

Zhao Gongming lifted Xuanshan Wujie up, and at the same time, he and Jin Ling looked him over. Being accepted as a disciple by Wei Guang meant he was no ordinary person.

Upon closer inspection, I was startled.

Good guy.

Such a strong aura of merit! The human race actually has such a blessed person.

After some calculation, he suddenly realized that he was the reincarnation of the Xuan Turtle. That made sense; with the Heavenly Pillar helping him continuously accumulate merit, it would be strange if it wasn't abundant.

"Consider this spiritual root a gift for our first meeting." Zhao Gongming took out a mid-grade spiritual root and bestowed it upon Xuanshan Wujie.

"No calamity, thank you, Uncle Gongming."

Subsequently, Jin Ling and Yu Yi Xian also presented their gifts: an array plate and a bottle of pills, respectively. They weren't particularly valuable, but they were just what they needed.

Afterwards, Wei Guang briefly inquired about the recruitment progress of the Dou Department and Yu Yi Xian.

Because the requirements for Yu Yixian were relatively low, things went smoothly, and they recruited a full 100,000 heavenly soldiers. However, many heavenly generals were vacant, and not many Golden Immortals came to serve them.

Jin Ling's situation is even worse; they haven't even managed to recruit one-tenth of the required number.

Wei Guang pointed out, "Isn't the Northern Underworld Demon Clan the best source of soldiers? Their Quasi-Saints and Great Luo Immortals all died in the starry sky. We can subdue them by offering them some good deals."

Upon hearing this, both Jin Ling and Yu Yi Xian's eyes lit up.

Yeah, how come they didn't think of that?

Although the demon race has declined, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and more than a billion demons cannot fill their void.

Not to mention the Fighting Division and the Guardian Legion, it would be more than enough to fill all the vacancies in the Heavenly Court, and the quality wouldn't be too low.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

"Let's go."

Seeing that they understood, Wei Guang said no more and led them directly into Yaochi.

At this time, many people had already arrived at Yaochi, but they were all rogue immortals. Many quasi-saints and powerful figures, as well as representatives from various sects, had not yet arrived.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Venus and his companions moved back and forth among the crowd, and it was easy to guess what they were doing.

"Emperor Ziwei, Emperor Qinghua... have come to attend the gathering."

As soon as Wei Guang and his companions entered Yaochi, a male immortal guarding the entrance immediately announced loudly.

Inside the Jade Pool, everyone's attention turned to the group. Venus hurriedly stepped forward, bowed in greeting, and guided them to their seats.

The Six Emperors are nominally not divided into superior and inferior ranks.

Therefore, Wei Guang and Zhao Gongming were positioned to the left and right of the main seat, slightly lowered by one space. This would not only save face for the two of them but also highlight Haotian's status.

Wei Guang didn't care about this.

Looking at the empty main seat, Wei Guang was speechless. The host was still trying to show off by setting the time limit. He wondered what Haotian and Yaochi were thinking.

Do they really think they can control these wandering immortals just by relying on Venus and the Barefoot Immortal?

That would be underestimating them too much.

You're already putting on airs before people have even joined; what will happen once they do?

With this attitude, it's doubtful Haotian will be able to recruit these people.

Subsequently, guided by Venus, Wei Guang and Zhao Gongming took their seats to the left and right of the main seats, while Jin Ling and Yu Yi Xian took their seats to the first position on the left and right of the third row.

Haotian, Weiguang, and others belong to the first tier, Quasi-Saints to the second tier, and Great Luo Immortals to the third tier.

As for Xuanshan Wujie, he stood obediently next to Wei Guang's seat. He was too junior and too weak, so there was no place for him here.

Despite this, Xuan Shan Wu Jie felt a little flustered.

"We pay our respects to Emperor Ziwei and Emperor Qinghua."

Upon seeing Wei Guang and Zhao Gongming take their seats, all the scattered immortals rose to their feet, bowed in greeting, and gave the two men ample face.

"No need for formalities, please be seated."

Wei Guang lifted everyone up, without engaging in much idle chatter with them.

Seeing this, no one wanted to make a fool of themselves, so they started chatting with the people they knew around them again, while Taibai and the Barefoot Immortal began to persuade them again.

However, everyone's spirits were clearly low.

Seeing that Haotian and Yaochi were not coming out for a long time, Wei Guang felt bored. This lousy Peach Banquet, let whoever wants to come can come from now on.

After waiting for a long time, Haotian and Yaochi finally came out. Everyone stood up and gave a symbolic bow. Anyone who wasn't blind could easily see that they were unwilling.

Haotian was somewhat displeased with this, but he didn't say much.

"Grand Master Xuandu of the Renjiao School has come to attend the meeting."

The two had just taken their seats when Xuandu entered Yaochi amidst the announcement. He glanced around and, without waiting for Taibai Jinxing to guide him, approached Wei Guang and bowed.

"Junior brother Xuandu greets senior brother."

Seeing that Xuandu had actually reached the mid-stage of the Great Luo realm, Wei Guang secretly sighed that he was indeed the only progenitor of the Human Sect. While enjoying the Human Sect's fortune, he probably also took a lot of drugs.

"Junior Brother Xuandu, there's no need for such formalities."

"Junior disciple Xuandu greets Uncle Haotian and Uncle Yaochi."

After Xuandu stood up, he gave Haotian and the other person a perfunctory bow. Although he was slightly displeased, Haotian and the other person did not say anything.

Who can blame them when they're a disciple of a sage?

Afterwards, guided by Venus, Xuandu took his seat at the head of the Golden Spirit.

Xuan Du didn't take it to heart.

He followed Lao Tzu in practicing the Way of Non-Action, and it was generally difficult to stir his inner emotions unless there was a conflict of interest or morality involved.

"Guangchengzi of the Chan Sect, Taiyi Zhenren... have come to attend the gathering."

As the announcement rang out, Guang Chengzi led a group of Chan Sect disciples in. Upon seeing that most of the people present were skin-and-fur armor-wearing individuals born from wet eggs, and that their cultivation was not high, he immediately showed displeasure.

"Ha, it seems anyone can qualify for this Peach Banquet."
