The Primordial Era: Starting with Jingwei Filling the Sea

Your portable library contains more than ten thousand volumes.

A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Xuanmen Dao Discussion Conference has finally arrived as scheduled.

On this day, celestial music filled the heavens, auspicious clouds surged, and rays of spiritual light came from all the heavens and myriad realms, flowing towards Jade Capital Mountain.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit and the Holy Mother of Wudang, dressed in their finest attire, stood on either side of the gate to Jade Capital Mountain, welcoming guests from all directions. Fang Yang and the Holy Mother of Tortoise Spirit were responsible for leading the guests to their seats.

The first to arrive were the Styx Ancestor and his Asura Cult.

Before the Styx Ancestor even arrived, half the sky was already shrouded in blood-red light, the dense crimson light staining the auspicious clouds in the sky blood red. With his appearance, a blood-red world descended.

A Taoist priest in a blood-red robe emerged from the crimson world, a gentle smile on his face. He was handsome, with a hint of wickedness in his smile, making it hard to associate him with the title "Ancestor of the Styx River."

Behind him followed eight figures.

Men are born with unusual features, different from others; no one who sees them would find them beautiful. Women, on the other hand, are charming and beautiful; even a thirty-year-old woman, exuding maternal charm, remains incredibly alluring.

These eight people were the eight disciples of the Styx Ancestor, the four Asura Kings, and the four Asura Generals.

"Welcome, Uncle-Master Styx!"

Upon seeing the arrival of the Styx Ancestor, the Golden Spirit Mother immediately went to greet him respectfully.

Back then, every guest in Zixiao Palace could be considered a disciple of Hongjun Laozu, especially those who revered Hongjun Laozu as their "teacher".

Although the Styx Ancestor did not formally become an apprentice, he cultivated the Dao-proving method of the Hongjun Ancestor and always referred to the Hongjun Ancestor as his teacher. Therefore, the Asura Cult is also a part of the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).

"The Sage Tongtian has taken in a fine disciple. It seems that this time, the Jie Sect will once again stand out from the crowd."

With a single glance, the Styx Ancestor saw through the Golden Spirit Mother's cultivation level.

He had initially thought that with Duobao Daoren gone, his disciples would have a chance. Perhaps the Asura Sect could rival the Jie Sect. Now it seemed he had been overthinking it.

The position of Daoist Duobao has been taken over by the Holy Mother Jinling.

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me. Every disciple under your tutelage possesses unique skills. I dare not be presumptuous."

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit was always unperturbed by praise or criticism; even the praise of saints could not make her proud.

Seeing the performance of the Golden Spirit Mother, the Styx Ancestor could only sigh in his heart: "The Sage of Heaven has a successor."

Following the Styx Ancestor, there is Zhenyuan Daxian of Wuzhuang Temple.

When Zhenyuan Daxian arrived, he was much more low-key than the Styx Ancestor. He was like an ordinary Da Luo Immortal, and after a burst of celestial music, he arrived at the mountain gate.

Zhenyuan Daxian was always kind to people. He came only to witness this grand event and to give the sage face. Therefore, he didn't even bring a page; he was all alone.

After Zhenyuan Daxian, there is the Queen Mother of the West on Xikunlun Mountain.

The Queen Mother of the West only accepted one disciple—the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden—but she still brought her own disciple with her. Her purpose in attending the assembly was not to gain fame, but to train her disciple.

She also did not want her disciples to be narrow-minded and become frogs at the bottom of a well.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit and the Mysterious Lady of the Nine Heavens had some acquaintance. After they met, they nodded to each other to show their friendliness.

Seeing the younger generation getting along well, the Queen Mother of the West was greatly pleased.

Their generation suffered from constant infighting, which led to a decline in talent. In this vast world, she saw very few of her own generation. Seeing the same few faces every day was truly boring.

She sincerely hopes that the younger generation will not follow in the footsteps of the older generation.

After the Queen Mother of the West comes the Supreme God of Heaven.

The Jade Emperor did not arrive as the Heavenly Emperor; he called himself the Jade Heaven Taoist. Today, he is a disciple of the Xuanmen sect, not the Heavenly Emperor.

Suddenly, divine light shone brightly in the sky, and auspicious energy almost solidified into a tangible form. It was seen that powerful beings such as Wangshu Star Lord, Qingyi Daoist, Mayi Daoist, Luwu Ancestor, Tianchi Ancestor, and Bixia Yuanjun descended on clouds and landed at the mountain gate at the same time.

This group of powerful beings were also guests of Zixiao Palace. Together with the Queen Mother of the West and others, they constituted almost all the guests of Zixiao Palace.

Of the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace, only a few remained, their numbers dwindling. Those who survived cherished the bond forged in their shared experiences of listening to the teachings. They banded together, forming a grand alliance, and quietly developed their power, avoiding the influence of the great sage's teachings.

When the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit and the Holy Mother of Wudang saw this group of great beings, they dared not be negligent and greeted them one by one.

"Young friend Jinling, there's no need for such formalities." Lord Wangshu smiled gently. "We had important matters to attend to at the previous Xuanmen Dao Discussion Conferences and were unable to attend. It's been many years since we last met, and you juniors have all grown up so much."

"Yes, the last time we participated in the Xuanmen Dao Discussion Conference, the juniors were only Golden Immortals..."

The Taoist priest in hemp robes stroked his beard and sighed, his eyes filled with reminiscence.

Wangshu Xingjun was referring to the previous few times; in reality, they hadn't participated in the Xuanmen Dao Discussion Conference for over a thousand eons. Their willingness to come this time was to pay homage to Hongjun Laozu.

The last time the Kunpeng Ancestor appeared in the prehistoric world was when the Zixiao Palace was holding a meeting to discuss the selection of the Heavenly Emperor. Since then, the Kunpeng Ancestor has been hiding in his Northern Sea to cultivate in seclusion and has never set foot in the prehistoric world.

When the Kunpeng Ancestor appeared, neither the Golden Spirit Mother nor the Wudang Mother recognized him.

A tall figure emerged from the void, clad in a black Taoist robe, expressionless, radiating boundless chill. His sudden appearance led him directly to the mountain gate.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit and the Holy Mother of Wudang were in a dilemma. They had never seen the Ancestor Kunpeng before and did not know this giant of heaven and earth at all.

Fortunately, at this moment, Grand Master Xuandu arrived and rescued the two from their predicament.

"Junior Xuandu greets Senior Uncle Kunpeng."

Upon hearing the sound, Jinling Shengmu and Wudang Shengmu looked over and saw a figure in pure white riding on the clouds, wearing a jade crown and with a gentle temperament. It was none other than the only direct disciple of the Human Sect, the Xuandu Grand Master.

Grand Master Xuandu once visited the Northern Sea and had a brief encounter with Ancestor Kunpeng.

Jinling Shengmu and Wudang Shengmu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately bowed in greeting: "Junior Jinling (Wudang) greets Uncle-Master Kunpeng!"

The Kunpeng Ancestor simply gave a faint "hmm," and without even glancing at the younger generation, went straight into the venue.

Upon seeing this, Grand Master Xuandu thought to himself, "My master is indeed incredibly insightful."

His timely arrival was undoubtedly the work of the Supreme Sage. The Xuanmen Dao Discussion Conference was of paramount importance, and no mishaps were permissible.

No one expected that the Kunpeng Ancestor would suddenly emerge from seclusion. When the Kunpeng Ancestor arrived at the venue, even the Styx Ancestor and Zhenyuan Daxian's expressions changed slightly.

There's no way around it, the Kunpeng Ancestor's record is just too impressive.

In the battle for the Primordial Purple Qi, Ancestor Kunpeng set up a grand formation, killing more than fifty quasi-saints! Even Ancestor Hongyun, a quasi-saint who possessed a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, fell to Ancestor Kunpeng, a quasi-saint who did not even have an innate spiritual treasure.

In that battle, the Kunpeng Ancestor almost became a legend.

At that very moment, six beams of divine light from sages, traversing the heavens and earth, suddenly shone brightly in the sky.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality and the Primordial Celestial Venerable of Jade Purity, the Master of the Supreme Celestial Sect of the Upper Purity, the Goddess Nuwa, the Sage of Reception, and the Sage of Cundi have arrived!
