Journey to the West Arrives: Start by becoming an apprentice of the Tongtian Sect Leader!

Seeing his master, the Tongtian Sect Leader, transform into the appearance of Subhuti Patriarch once again, Li Xuancang became quite curious.

"Master, could this be your true form?"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head...

"This is not my true form."

"After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Dao Ancestor said that sages should not enter the Primordial World."

"My true form is currently listening to the teachings of the Dao Ancestor in the Chaos Purple Cloud Palace..."

"However, the Dao Ancestor said that sages cannot enter the primordial world, but he never said that sages' three corpses cannot enter the primordial world."

"Therefore, I, the poor Daoist, walked through the primordial world as one of the three corpses, the good corpse, and transformed into Subhuti."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuancang nodded.

"This disciple understands."

I was just wondering why the Tongtian Sect Leader was able to enter the prehistoric world after the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods.

Now I understand, what's in front of me isn't the true form of the Tongtian Sect Master, but one of the Three Corpses of a Saint...

Li Xuancang was no stranger to the concept of the Three Corpses of a Sage.

The method of severing the three corpses was created by the Dao Ancestor. By practicing the method of severing the three corpses, one can sever one's own self-corpse, evil corpse, and good corpse, and finally the three corpses will be united. With the help of the Primordial Purple Qi, one can achieve the position of a saint.

Isn't that what's said in ancient myths and legends?

After countless ages, the Tongtian Sect Leader was still very happy to have accepted another disciple.

After all, the greatest hobby of the Tongtian Sect Leader in his life was taking on disciples...

He started taking on apprentices when he was in Kunlun Mountain.

At that time, Yuanshi Tianzun was still frequently nagging, so Tongtian Jiaozhu was not too unrestrained in accepting disciples.

Later, the Three Pure Ones separated, and the Tongtian Sect Leader moved his Daoist temple to Biyou Palace in the East Sea.

Suddenly, no one was nagging me anymore.

The Master of Heaven directly made a huge profit!

In the end, a scene of ten thousand immortals paying homage was created.

Since the Investiture of the Gods, the Tongtian Sect Leader had not accepted any disciples and was almost driven crazy by the lack of knowledge. Now that he had accepted another personal disciple, he was naturally overjoyed.

Then all that could be seen was the Tongtian Sect Leader sitting on a futon in the guise of Subhuti Patriarch and speaking softly...

"It is a joyous occasion for me to accept you as my disciple today."

"Since I have nothing else to do, I'll give you a sermon today."

Upon hearing that he had just become a disciple and would be able to listen to the Dao, and that it would be a sage preaching, Li Xuancang was overjoyed.

If word were to spread at this very moment that a sage is preaching in the Three Realms, all living beings in the Three Realms would probably fight tooth and nail to get him!

"Disciple thanks Master!"

A moment later, Li Xuancang sat respectfully on a futon below the Tongtian Sect Leader.

"Disciple, I observe that although you are of innate human origin, you possess no cultivation whatsoever, suggesting you have no understanding of the path of cultivation..."

"In that case, I will begin by explaining to you the stages of spiritual cultivation."

The Tongtian Sect Leader explained things very thoroughly, and he was speaking to Li Xuancang from the perspective of the human race.

Li Xuancang listened very attentively.

From the teachings of the Tongtian Sect Master, Li Xuancang learned that the humans in the Three Realms today are all practicing the Golden Elixir Cultivation Method created by Laozi of the Taiqing Sect.

That is, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core...

He remained a human immortal until he transcended the tribulation.

After becoming a human immortal, one can be considered a true immortal, but at this point, immortals are still considered low-ranking.

Above the Human Immortal realm lies the orthodox path of cultivation in the primordial world…

They are divided into Earth Immortals, Celestial Immortals, True Immortals, Mysterious Immortals, Golden Immortals, Taiyi Golden Immortals, and Daluo Golden Immortals.

Above the Great Luo Golden Immortal is the Quasi-Saint, and the number of times one has severed their Three Corpses determines the strength of a Quasi-Saint.

Above the Quasi-Saint is the Saint!

In explaining these realms, the Tongtian Sect Leader also used many historical figures as examples.

This captivated Li Xuancang.

Myths and legends learned only from books in a previous life are nowhere near as fascinating as the explanations given by a sage in person.

After explaining the cultivation realms, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not rush to speak, but paused for a moment, giving Li Xuancang time to digest the information.

Li Xuancang is now a descendant of the Innate Human Race, possessing keen hearing, sharp eyesight, and a clear mind; photographic memory is merely a basic ability.

After listening to it just once, I memorized all of these things.

Seeing that Li Xuancang was listening so attentively, the Tongtian Sect Leader was even more satisfied.

Although his newly accepted disciple was not as good as Duobao, Jinling and others in terms of background, he was not even as good as Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals of the outer sect.

But his earnestness is truly endearing.

It can only be said that the Tongtian Sect Leader hadn't taken on any disciples for far too long, and now that he had finally found one, he was overjoyed.

Not to mention he's a direct disciple!

After learning about the cultivation realms, Li Xuancang bowed to the Tongtian Sect Leader and inquired.

"Master, if I wish to cultivate, should I also practice the Golden Core method of the human race?"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader shook his head...

"Although the Golden Core cultivation method of the human race is suitable for human cultivation, it is not considered the best."

"Furthermore, you are my personally taught disciple, how can you cultivate the Golden Elixir method created by your eldest grandmaster?"

"I possess the Supreme Clarity Immortal Techniques, a Heavenly Path that leads directly to the realm of sages."

"This immortal technique can cultivate the power of the Supreme Purity Realm, and most of my disciples in the Jie Sect practice this technique."

"Today, your master will impart this Shangqing Immortal Technique to you."

"You should cultivate diligently. If you have any questions, you may come and ask your master at any time."

"Hone your foundation well. Once you break through to the Human Immortal realm, I will be able to pass on other cultivation techniques and supernatural abilities to you!"

After speaking, the Tongtian Sect Leader pointed lightly at Li Xuancang.

The cultivation method of the Shangqing Immortal Technique slowly entered Li Xuancang's mind along with the magical power.

Because of the protection of magical power, this vast and profound knowledge did not have any impact on Li Xuancang's mind.

On the contrary, it made Li Xuancang feel refreshed all over.

"Disciple thanks Master for imparting the methods of cultivation!"

"From now on, this disciple will certainly cultivate diligently, so as not to disgrace the prestige of my master, nor to tarnish the name of my Jie Sect!"

"This disciple will surely make the name of the Jie Sect resound once again throughout the Three Realms!"

"To restore the glory of the Jie Sect is the disciple's inescapable duty!"

Upon hearing Li Xuancang's powerful words, the Tongtian Sect Leader stroked his beard and smiled.

"Hahaha...Good! Good! Good!"

After saying this, the Tongtian Sect Leader got up and went to the back hall.

Before the figure disappeared, a faint voice drifted over.

"There are many places to stay in this Crescent Moon and Three Stars Cave; you can find one yourself."

After he finished speaking, the figure of the Tongtian Sect Leader disappeared.

At this moment, Li Xuancang was overjoyed!

He originally thought that the Tongtian Sect Leader would teach him other cultivation methods.

Unexpectedly, the first thing they used was the Shangqing Immortal Technique!

Is this the treatment given to a direct disciple?

Cool!!!

You should know that after Monkey King came to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, he only practiced the Great Celestial Immortal Technique and didn't even get a glimpse of the Shangqing Immortal Technique.

This also represents the difference between himself and the Monkey King.

He himself was a direct disciple of the Tongtian Sect Leader, while Monkey King was a direct disciple of the Subhuti Patriarch; the two were not comparable…

After considering these matters, Li Xuancang sat down quietly and began to practice the Shangqing Immortal Technique.
