Primordial Era: Starting as a junior disciple of the Chan Sect to attain the Primordial Chaos.

Exploring the Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) novel genre

The sound of the Jade Purity Golden Bell resounded in all directions.

Beams of immortal light rose from various cave dwellings, converging towards the Jade Void Palace.

Antarctic Immortal, Jade Cauldron Immortal, Guang Chengzi, Red Huanglong Zhenren and others appeared one after another.

Daoist Ran Deng and Ancestor Hongyun also emerged from their respective dojos and arrived on clouds.

This time, the Jade Purity Golden Bell ceremony was unusually grand.

The sound of the bell carried a sense of solemnity and impending doom.

Therefore, all the immortals had a vague guess in their hearts.

It's likely that Master's summons of them this time is related to the escalating conflict between the witches and demons in the primordial world.

When Jiang Chuan arrived outside Yuxu Palace.

Many disciples of the Chan Sect were already waiting here.

He first bowed to the Antarctic Immortal.

"Jiang Chuan greets Senior Brother."

When the Old Man of the South Pole saw Jiang Chuan, he smiled gently.

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

"It's been decades, and your aura has become much more stable."

Jiang Chuan smiled.

"I had some opportunities a few years ago, so I went into seclusion to refine my skills."

"There were some gains, though."

The Old Man of the South Pole nodded.

His gaze toward Jiang Chuan still held a hint of admiration.

Jiang Chuan today is no longer the insignificant junior brother he was when he first joined the Chan Sect.

He possesses the cultivation level of a late-stage Golden Immortal and the background of a mid-level Innate Saint.

Furthermore, he holds the position of the ancestor of human civilization and bears immeasurable merits.

Such a foundation is absolutely remarkable, even considering the entire Chan Sect.

If Jiang Chuan hadn't started from such a low level, he wouldn't have been able to learn this.

I'm afraid his status within the Chan Sect is now even higher.

Afterwards, Jiang Chuan paid his respects to Master Yu Ding.

Master Yu Ding smiled and patted Jiang Chuan on the shoulder.

"Junior Brother arrived quite quickly."

Jiang Chuan spoke up.

"Since Master has summoned me with the golden bell, I, your junior brother, would naturally not dare to be negligent."

As they were talking.

Hongyun also walked over slowly.

Today, Hongyun is dressed in a red Taoist robe, surrounded by clouds of auspicious energy.

Although his cultivation level had fallen to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he was still once a top-tier Quasi-Saint.

Even in his every move, he still exudes an air of transcendence.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Chuan took the initiative to bow.

"Greetings, Senior Hongyun."

Hongyun smiled and lifted Jiang Chuan up.

"Young friend, there's no need to be so polite."

"Now I have also joined the Chan Sect and taken on the position of Vice Leader."

"If we're really going to be honest, we're from the same school."

Jiang Chuan smiled slightly.

"Because seniors have different statuses, juniors should naturally show them respect."

Upon hearing this, Hongyun's admiration deepened.

Despite his newfound power, Jiang Chuan remained humble and treated elders with respect.

This kind of mindset is truly rare.

The Taoist Ran Deng had also arrived at this time.

Jiang Chuan bowed to the lamp.

"I have met Vice Master Ran Deng."

Ran Deng nodded, his smile gentle.

"Junior Brother Jiang Chuan, you're too kind."

The two exchanged simple greetings without saying much.

After all, Jiang Chuan's relationship with Randeng was not nearly as close as his relationship with Hongyun, Yuding, and the Antarctic Immortal.

Superficial politeness is sufficient.

As for Manjushri, Samantabhadra, and Cihang.

They too have now been summoned from their wall-facing retreat.

It's just compared to before.

The three of them were noticeably more subdued.

Especially after seeing Jiang Chuan.

The three of them looked even more unpleasant.

They tried to scheme against Jiang Chuan but failed, and were instead subdued by him in public.

Finally, he was punished by Yuanshi Tianzun, forced to face the wall in seclusion, and forced to give up a large number of spiritual treasures and roots.

The two sides have already completely broken off relations.

So Jiang Chuan merely glanced at them briefly before looking away.

There was no bowing or greeting.

Upon seeing this, a dark glint flashed in Manjushri's eyes.

But he quickly suppressed his emotions.

Jiang Chuan is now deeply favored by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Furthermore, he was close to people such as Hongyun, Nanji, and Yuding.

In this situation, he naturally wouldn't dare to take the initiative to cause trouble.

Both Puxian and Cihang remained silent.

Although they were dissatisfied, they understood the situation.

At least for now, they can't do anything to Jiang Chuan.

The atmosphere outside Yuxu Palace was subtle.

However, this delicate situation did not last long.

next moment.

The gates of Jade Void Palace slowly opened.

A vast and holy aura emanated from it.

The immortals' expressions turned solemn, and they immediately entered in turn.

Inside the Jade Void Palace.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable sits serenely on a cloud platform.

His body was surrounded by holy light, and behind him were endless phantom images of the vast universe.

The majesty of the sage filled the entire Jade Void Palace.

After the immortals entered the hall, they all bowed.

"Disciple greets Master."

May our Master's path be boundless and his body forever healthy.

Hongyun and Randeng also bowed to each other.

Yuanshi Tianzun gently raised his hand.

A wisp of pure energy lifted the immortals up.

"Please sit down."

The immortals took their seats in turn.

Jiang Chuan remained seated at the end of the table.

But now no one dares to look down on him because of the title "last seat".

After all, this junior brother in front of him was the last to join the sect.

However, in terms of cultivation, foundation, and fortune, they are far beyond what ordinary disciples of the Chan Sect can compare to.

After all the immortals were seated...

The Primordial Celestial Venerable spoke slowly.

"I have summoned you here today because the secrets of the primordial world have changed."

"The karmic entanglements between the Lich and Demon races have lasted for many years, and now it is time for a reckoning."

This statement came out.

The atmosphere in Jade Void Palace immediately became heavy.

The immortals had already suspected it.

But hearing it from the words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable himself still made me feel a chill.

The Lich and Demon races were the two strongest races in the primordial world.

If the two sides truly engage in a decisive battle.

That was a catastrophe that swept across the world.

Even though they were disciples of a sage, they dared not underestimate him.

Even though they were disciples of a sage, they dared not underestimate him.

Yuanshi Tianzun continued.

"In the past, the Dao Ancestor made a pact of 100,000 years, forbidding the Wu and Yao races from waging war again."

"The 100,000-year period has now passed."

"The conflict between the liches is intensifying."

"The demon race forged the sword to slay the witch, and the witch race gathered twelve tribes."

"Both sides' fortunes have been seized by the calamity."

"This great battle is probably unavoidable."

The immortals' expressions grew even more solemn.

The Taoist Ran Deng spoke first.

"Master, how should our Chan Sect respond?"

"The Primordial Celestial Venerable said calmly."

"Our Chan Sect is the orthodox lineage of the Xuanmen (Taoist school), a sect of sages."

"The conflict between the Lich and the Demon race is a matter of cause and effect between the two races."

"Disciples of the Chan Sect shall not interfere unless absolutely necessary."

"From this day forward, you will all remain in your respective caves for seclusion."

"You must not leave Kunlun without permission, and you must not approach the Lich Battlefield."

Upon hearing this, the immortals felt a chill run down their spines.

The tone of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was very calm.

However, the meaning behind it cannot be disobeyed.

Clearly, in the eyes of the sage, this great calamity of the lich is no small matter.

If disciples of the Chan Sect rashly get involved, it could very well affect the fate of the Chan Sect.

"Your disciple will obey your instructions."

All the immortals responded in unison.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable swept his gaze across the area, finally settling on Jiang Chuan.

"Especially you, Jiang Chuan."

Jiang Chuan immediately stood up.

"Disciple is here."

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him, his tone more solemn than before.

"You were born into the innate human race and also hold the title of the ancestor of human civilization."

"Now the demon race is slaughtering the human race and forging the witch-slaying sword."

"This matter is deeply connected to you in terms of cause and effect."

"Therefore, I must give you this special advice."

"For the next period of time, you are not allowed to leave Kunlun without permission."

"Furthermore, one must not, in the capacity of the Human Ancestor, rashly intervene in the calamities of the Human Race."

"During the great calamity, the secrets of heaven are in chaos."

"If you are not careful, you will be swept up in the calamity."

As soon as Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking...

All the immortals in the Jade Void Palace turned their gazes to Jiang Chuan.
