The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 105 Reincarnation Cheat, Xuanmen Foundation, Zixiao Treasure Distribution

"I don't know you... Wait, what am I doing here?"

Lingbao Tianzun seemed to be talking to himself in a dream, his face blank, and he took a step as if he was about to "sleepwalk" out.

"I need to go back and train my apprentice... Xiao Duobao's cultivation has reached a crucial point..."

Reject cheating, starting with me!

But Yu Chen was not happy about it.

"Hey, don't choose to forget..." Yu Chen tugged at his clothes, "If there were no other way, who would be willing to use such despicable methods?"

"Who wouldn't want the sense of accomplishment of conquering the world on their own?"

"Or, if everyone competes under fair conditions, I won't have any complaints... I'm confident that I'm no worse than anyone else."

"Whether I win or lose, I can accept it."

"But I want fair competition, and my competitors don't!" Yu Chen said sadly. "This is no longer a problem that can be solved simply by working hard!"

"Look at Chi Ming, how hard he works!"

"As soon as the Witch Clan server opened and the closed beta started, I joined... Then I honestly fought monsters and cleared the game, always on high alert, one person with one sword, sweeping across the entire Witch Clan, becoming the king of swordsmanship among the lesser witches."

"And then pinch?"

"In a contest where all fields merge, what is he?!" Yu Chen felt a bitterness in his heart, a sorrow that resonated deeply with him. "His swordsmanship, which he truly comprehended from scratch through his own comprehension and matched his own strength, is it capable of fighting against the 'Nine Axes of Creation'? Or fighting against someone's 'Three Thousand Great Daos'? Or even challenging 'The Primordial World is My Home'? And then there's the Zhou Tian Star Array, blatantly displayed, sending chills down one's spine..."

Sadness has flowed like a river.

"These guys, each one more shameless than the last... but!"

Yu Chen shook his head in pain and closed his eyes. "If only it were just like this."

"Everyone knows what's going on... It's just that the players behind the scenes have increased their bets, nothing serious."

"But the problem is... seeing that guy in person was really putting my nerve to the test!"

"Without cheating, I'd be completely crushed by him... Luckily, I tricked him once before, so he's got a bit of a psychological trauma," Yu Chen complained. "Otherwise, if he challenged me with a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, I'd be completely routed in no time!"

"The situation is so urgent, we can't delay any longer..." Yu Chen sighed. "Give the authority!"

"Unlimited loading rights for cheats!"

Lingbao Tianzun remained silent.

After a moment, the Celestial Venerable said quietly, "This isn't a good idea..."

"I can't just lower my standards to the same level as everyone else just because they're pushing the boundaries of morality, and then use that to fight them..."

"This is my insistence." Lingbao slowly shook his head. "Whether it's you or Chiming, I can bestow upon you the most powerful aptitude and comprehension, allowing you to stand at the pinnacle... One glance at the sun, and you'll grasp a fraction of the ultimate principles of pure Yang; one glance at the earth, and you'll understand the profound virtue that sustains all things..."

"But that's how it is."

"It's just about giving someone a high starting point at birth, not changing the data later... Now you want me to break that line?"

"If word gets out, my lifelong reputation will be ruined!"

Lingbao Tianzun sighed.

This is not a good situation.

He cherishes his reputation and is unwilling to do something so unseemly.

After all, Lingbao wasn't alone; he couldn't just do whatever he wanted.

He was the leader of a sect, and the kind of leader whose followers were scattered throughout the world.

Not to mention grand-disciples, there are tens of thousands of disciples who have been directly recognized and whose names have been recorded in the genealogy!

Needless to say, those who audit the classes also need to consider this.

Students are found all over the world!

Lingbao Tianzun's contributions to education rank among the top three in the entire prehistoric era.

Having achieved this level of dedication to his teaching career, how could he not be a decent teacher?

Teachers must set a good example!

Regardless of whether his disciples are of mixed quality or causing harm outside... as the source, he cannot lead the way in spreading bad things; he needs to set an example.

"Oh dear!" Yu Chen said calmly, unconvinced by his words. "What do you care about reputation?"

"It's not like your reputation will improve just because you care."

"Isn't the Three Pure Ones always been synonymous with overpowered characters?"

"What are you saying? I allow you to rephrase your words." Lingbao Tianzun took a deep breath, his gaze towards Yu Chen turning dangerous.

"I didn't make this up." Yu Chen spread his hands and shrugged. "According to legend, the Three Pure Ones were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. They possessed immeasurable merit. As long as one established a religion and drew out that merit, one could instantly become a saint."

"I'm thinking, isn't this just a roundabout way of insulting you three, saying you're all incredibly lucky to have been born into wealth?"

"The rumors are filled with a huge sense of sarcasm, like 'Give me these conditions, and I can do it too'..." Yu Chen sighed deeply. "Those guys are all deliberately blind to the fact that even if Da Luo can reverse cause and effect, before that, who among them didn't work hard to defeat countless competitors and rise to the top?"

"No one in this world is ever born noble."

"To reverse cause and effect, you need a result that you've worked hard to achieve to reverse it. Besides, even if you succeed in reversing cause and effect, if you don't work hard when you go back to the beginning of the process... the result won't disappear, but it will appear very, very late."

"Just like the Great Luo Dao... This ultimate Dao fruit, which is proven once and remains so forever, will never be disqualified once it is achieved."

"But aren't both self-aware Great Luo and innate spiritual treasures Great Luo?"

"If you don't work hard, someone might trick you and turn you directly into a primordial spiritual treasure... Who can you complain to then?"

Yu Chen, with great conviction, complained to Lingbao Tianzun—this world is too terrible!

The effect was remarkable; the Celestial Venerable's attitude softened visibly, and he began to carefully consider the matter.

"So, you're going to unban me and let me use cheats?"

"Those defeated opponents are slandering your reputation, saying that you only achieved such great merit by cheating... and the key point is that the origin of this merit is somewhat difficult to explain to outsiders."

"Since that's the case, why not just give in to their wishes?" Yu Chen said menacingly. "Let them know outright that we've cheated, so what? Go ahead and criticize us! Go ahead and report us!"

"Let's see who will handle their case, and who dares to handle it!"

"How could a bunch of defeated opponents know the origin of this great merit and the mark of Pangu's primordial spirit, or what terrifying deal it conceals?" Yu Chen said indignantly. "This money is too hot to handle... We're walking a tightrope, and we never know when we'll fall."

"The situation has already come to this point, why are you still so concerned about so much?"

The final questions and doubts plunged the hall into a very, very long silence.

After a long while, Lingbao Tianzun sighed.

"No need to say more... My mind is made up." The Celestial Venerable's eyes were deep. "I am a primordial deity who adheres to principles. I would never do anything like giving my own people cheats or secretly giving them favors."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Yu Chen's head three times, then patted his right shoulder five times, each pat harder than the last, in a rhythmic manner. "You must stick to your principles... and you must also believe in your own abilities."

"You're not as good as those people now simply because your talents haven't been fully explored... Otherwise, in a battle of the titans, the outcome would be uncertain! And in this vast wilderness, perhaps there's such a place somewhere?"

"..."

Yu Chen was taken aback at first, his eyes filled with confusion, but then the confusion quickly dissipated and turned into understanding, a hint of joy flashing across his face.

Then, the joy vanished instantly. As if nothing had happened, her tone became heavy with sadness, yet tinged with an indomitable fighting spirit: "Okay... I understand."

"Even if I can't cheat like those people, I still have a strong and never-give-up heart..."

"I will search, I will strive, I will learn and ask questions, to find a platform that will transform and elevate me..."

"One day, I will show them with irrefutable facts—cheating isn't everything!"

"Excellent!" Lingbao Tianzun smiled. "You have finally attained enlightenment."

"I'm waiting for the day you shine."

……

Meanwhile, Feng Xi was still socializing.

"Senior Brother Guangcheng, how many ethnic groups are there in Kunlun Mountain?"

He subtly hinted at his future work.

"As for the number of people... I'm not sure, because there are simply too many to count, it's impossible to keep track of." Guang Chengzi shook his head. "The verifiable history of Kunlun Mountain is already incredibly long..."

"When the world was first created and Pangu transformed into all things, Kunlun Mountain appeared and has continued to this day."

"As for how much time has passed and how many races have multiplied here, no one but the three teachers can say for sure."

"However, even without mentioning Kunlun, our Daoist sect has a recorded history of hundreds of millions of years... However, although we preached back then, we were not called the Daoist sect, and we were not particularly prominent during the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity."

"Oh?" Feng Xi exclaimed with awe. "The Three Pure Ones were already spreading their teachings back then? Unbelievable!"

"I thought you students were the first batch!"

"How could that be?" Guang Chengzi was speechless. "At best, we are the first generation of successors after the end of the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity and the beginning of a new era..."

"Then... I wonder where those senior brothers from the ancient era are..." Feng Xi asked疑惑地, "

"I don't know about that..." Guang Chengzi shook his head. "When I was organizing the sect's records and looking up information, I found that the records of the student list from the previous era had been erased, leaving only the descriptions of the geography and culture around Kunlun."

"I asked my master for the reason, but he just shook his head and said that the demonic calamity was severe back then, and batches of innate saints died. Even the Three Pure Ones had difficulty protecting themselves when they joined forces."

"Even we ourselves can hardly protect ourselves, let alone our disciples? Those who don't become Great Luo are almost all wiped out in the face of the demonic calamity that sweeps across the prehistoric world... Even if any senior brother does become a Great Luo, he will perish in the calamity and fall into oblivion." Guangcheng sighed, his voice filled with emotion. "Master said that it was because the Demon Ancestor Rahu acted so recklessly and persecuted all the innate saints and Great Luo Supremes of the prehistoric world to the extreme that the Dao Ancestor Hongjun was able to command such a great response."

"The living innate deities fought desperately, and even the innate spiritual treasures that the Great Luo transformed into after his death fought desperately, all together attacking Rahu!"

"All of this is how we barely managed to win... After the battle, most of the innate saints are asleep or recovering from their injuries, while those innate spiritual treasures are entrusted to Hongjun. We ask this Dao Ancestor to take care of them with the power of the Heavenly Dao, and see if they can recover and return to consciousness."

"The same is true of the three teachers... The Master said that recalling the past was unbearable and caused great sorrow, so he took action to shield that period of history so as not to add to the fear of future generations."

"So that's how it is." Feng Xi was moved. The historical secrets behind this were far greater than he had imagined. "Please accept my condolences, three teachers."

"Yes, that's what I think too." Hiroshige nodded in agreement, a faint smile on her face. "However, things should take a turn for the better soon."

"A while ago, the three teachers went to the Zixiao Palace Conference convened by Dao Ancestor Hongjun... After they returned, the worry that had been on their faces disappeared considerably."

"I think that the Dao Ancestor has finished nurturing the spiritual treasure, and some of my senior brothers from the previous era will be able to return, right?"

"A primordial spiritual treasure..." Feng Xi raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing something. 'Could it be that we're really going to have a treasure-sharing ceremony at Zixiao Palace?'

"Tsk... If that's the case, no wonder the Three Pure Ones are all incredibly wealthy, possessing numerous innate spiritual treasures."

"Those magical treasures might all be disciples from the previous era, whom we painstakingly raised to adulthood... What's this called?"

"Sow a single grain in spring, reap ten thousand in autumn?"

"If I don't have any innate spiritual treasures, I'll create them myself?"

Think of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, think of the Primordial Golden Cauldron, think of... the splendid names of these innate spiritual treasures, what a wealth that is!

What a terrifying force it is!

Feng Xi's mind raced with unfounded thoughts: 'It seems the Xuanmen sect, under the control of the Three Pure Ones, possesses a foundation far more unfathomable than I imagined.'

"What we've revealed so far is just the tip of the iceberg... At their peak, the number of Grand Luo Immortals might have reached dozens or even hundreds?"

No wonder, after the Lich Wars ended, they were able to run rampant and become invincible... From the Dragon-Phoenix Calamity to the Lich Calamity, they silently cultivated and cultivated for two long eras...

"Such terrifying patience—no wonder they become the undisputed masters of thought!"

The Three Pure Ones... the Xuanmen (Taoist sect)... terrifying!

After Guang Chengzi revealed some secrets, Feng Xi realized how unpredictable and terrifying the Xuanmen was; they were deeply rooted!

"Hmm... the topic seems to have gone a bit off track." Guangcheng said with an apologetic smile, "You just asked me about the number of ethnic groups in the Kunlun Mountains... I really can't answer that."

"However, if you ask about influential clans, I, who have been organizing sect records for many years, can still give you some answers."

He thought for a moment, then said, "It's about 13,720 branches—that's a large number of members, with some skilled individuals who are barely capable of making it to the front lines, giving them a certain degree of influence in the Kunlun Mountains."

"Over thirteen thousand?" Feng Xi pondered for a moment, then smiled. "Thank you for informing me, Senior Brother."
