The Primordial Era: Starting with Jingwei Filling the Sea

"Alas, Fellow Daoist Ran Deng has been defeated by a junior again."

"How did that once-famous guest of Zixiao Palace, who listened to our teacher's teachings with us, fall into such a wretched state?"

"Talented people emerge in every generation, and new talents replace the old. The younger generation's cultivation is getting higher and higher. If we stand still, we will eventually be defeated by them, just like Fellow Daoist Ran Deng."

The defeat of Daoist Ran Deng saddened many guests in Zixiao Palace. No matter how disappointing Daoist Ran Deng was, he was still their peer, yet he had been repeatedly defeated by his juniors.

The failure of the Taoist Ran Deng seemed to be telling them that their era had passed, and soon they would be overtaken by the younger generation, just like the Taoist Ran Deng.

Even seemingly unshakeable giants like Zhenyuan Daxian actually felt immense pressure.

Their cultivation level had advanced to the peak of Quasi-Saint long ago, but after reaching the peak of Quasi-Saint, their cultivation level had not changed.

They cannot become saints.

Those who follow the path of severing the three corpses cannot sever them. Even those who manage to sever the three corpses cannot reunite them because the three treasures used for severing the corpses are incompatible.

Walking the path of accumulating merit to attain enlightenment is not an easy path to success. Merit alone is meaningless without the Primordial Purple Qi.

Taiyi and Dijiang once walked the path of proving the Dao through force. However, even they failed.

The path to sainthood is one they simply cannot traverse.

If they abandon the path to sainthood and choose the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal, they will have to give up their quasi-saint level cultivation and start over from the Golden Immortal realm.

How dare they?

Each of them had enemies in the primordial world. When they dispersed their cultivation and started anew, it was as if they were handing their lives over to their enemies.

As a result, the cultivation levels of these giants of heaven and earth were stuck at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, day after day, year after year, with no hope in sight.

The powerful beings' minds became incredibly heavy because of the competition.

The sages understood the predicament of many powerful beings, but they couldn't help them. They had their own paths to walk; they hadn't even reached the threshold of the Primordial Chaos Limitless Golden Immortal realm.

They were luckier than Zhenyuan Daxian and others; at least they had already passed the hurdle from Quasi-Saint to Saint, taking one step further than them.

However, after this Daoist conference, the will of Hongjun Patriarch will descend. At that time, all their confusion and all their questions will be answered.

This time, many powerful figures who have been out of the public eye for a long time have come to attend the meeting for this very purpose. All of them want to pay homage to the Ancestor Hongjun and receive guidance.

The sages quickly grasped the underlying principle. They did not dwell on their reflections on worldly affairs, but continued holding the assembly.

After Fang Yang's battle with Daoist Ran Deng, the conference reached its final stage. The sages were about to reward the younger generation who had performed exceptionally well in the conference, in order to encourage their cultivation.

"Nephew Fang Yang."

"Master Uncle!"

Just like in the previous round, Fang Yang was the first person to receive the reward.

With a faint smile on his face, the Sage Taiqing waved his hand, and a purple-gold gourd slowly floated out. He glanced at it, and the gourd opened, releasing a golden divine pill.

This divine pill, like amber, was sealed within a crystal-like barrier, and no one could detect its presence.

"This pill is called the Golden Wish Pill. It was refined by me using the essence of the Chaos Demon God and many other Chaos Divine Objects. Although it is not a Primordial Elixir, its value far surpasses that of a top-grade Acquired Elixir. After consuming this pill, it can grant you one wish."

After the Sage of Taiqing finished speaking, he directly presented the Golden Pill of Wishes to Fang Yang.

The words of the Sage Taiqing caused a great sensation in the hall. It goes without saying how precious a pill refined from the essence of a Chaos Demon God would be.

The mere mention of being able to grant wishes is enough to drive all the powerful beings in the myriad realms into a frenzy.

Of course, the Wish-Fulfilling Elixir has its limitations. It cannot grant a wish out of thin air; that would violate the laws of nature. At most, it can provide a person with the method and power to achieve their wish.

But that's enough.

For example, if a peak Quasi-Saint powerhouse wanted to kill Fang Yang, but the Tongtian Sect Master was not at home, then Fang Yang could swallow the Wish Golden Pill, make a wish to the pill, and use its power to kill the peak Quasi-Saint powerhouse.

The Wish-Fulfilling Elixir is such a mysterious elixir.

What Fang Yang received was not just a pill, but a life and an opportunity with infinite possibilities.

Seeing that his elder brother had actually produced such a precious elixir, even the Tongtian Sect Leader felt a little embarrassed. He was already thinking about what he should give as a reward to Grand Master Xuandu later.

The Tongtian Sect Leader is really poor now; he has such a large family to support. Besides that, he also likes to spread opportunities throughout the primordial world.

But there was no other way. Since the Sage Taiqing had treated his disciple so well, he had to keep the money with Grand Master Xuandu.

"Thank you so much, Master!"

Fang Yang certainly wouldn't refuse; he truly needed this golden pill. With the Wish Golden Pill, he could create his own Dao-proving technique in the shortest possible time.

As a disciple of the Xuanmen sect, he will cultivate the Three Corpses Severing Technique. However, he will not use the Three Corpses Severing Technique to improve his cultivation level; he will only use it as a divine power to enhance his combat strength.

His predecessors have already proven to him that without the Primordial Purple Qi, the three methods of achieving sainthood are simply impossible! If Fang Yang wants to break through to a higher realm, he will only use the Dao-proving technique he created.

Amidst the envious gazes of countless immortals, Fang Yang swallowed the Wish-Golden Pill in one gulp and made a wish in his heart.

Yes, he swallowed the Wish-Golden Pill directly.

Keeping such a golden elixir in one's possession will only make one a coveted prize in the eyes of lawless individuals, such as members of the witch clan or those practicing the demonic path.

Neither of these two forces regards the Heavenly Dao or the Sages. They may not care about things that others would be wary of.

The immortals present were full of praise for Fang Yang's decisiveness in swallowing the Wish-Golden Pill. They also agreed with Fang Yang's actions, saying that they would have done the same in his place.

Next, it was Yuanshi Tianzun's turn.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable smiled faintly, and then a gilded scroll appeared in his palm. He reached out and wiped it open automatically.

Then, Fang Yang clearly saw that the back of the scroll was printed with the four large characters "Wordless Heavenly Book".

"Nephew Fang Yang, although you are a disciple of the Jie Sect, you are also a disciple of my Sanqing Sect. This wordless heavenly book is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, with boundless mysteries. Now, I bestow it upon you. I hope that you will remain true to your original aspirations."

The moment the words "Wordless Heavenly Book" were uttered, all the immortals and gods present gasped in shock. Even giants like Zhenyuan Daxian and Kunpeng Laozu sat up straight, their eyes flashing with disbelief.

The generosity of Yuanshi Tianzun was truly immense; no one expected that he would bestow such a precious treasure upon the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Fang Yang understood what Yuanshi Tianzun meant. He respectfully accepted the wordless heavenly book and bowed deeply to Yuanshi Tianzun.

"This disciple thanks my second senior master!"

The Three Pure Ones are truly one family!
