The Primordial Era: Starting with Jingwei Filling the Sea

Upon entering Biyou Palace, Fang Yang saw more than just the Tongtian Sect Leader.

A Taoist priest in yellow robes was sitting in the guest seats, chatting and laughing with the Tongtian Sect Leader in a very natural manner, without showing any nervousness in front of a saint.

"Disciple greets Master!"

After Fang Yang bowed, he stood in the hall.

The yellow-robed Taoist priest scrutinized Fang Yang, his eyes gleaming with divine light that seemed to pierce through the heavens. Fang Yang felt as if the yellow-robed Taoist priest had seen through him completely.

"Fellow Daoist Qi Sha, this is my junior disciple—Fang Yang. What do you think of my disciple?"

The Tongtian Sect Leader smiled broadly as he looked at the yellow-robed Taoist priest.

The yellow-robed Taoist stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming: "Young friend Fang Yang's foundation in Tao is profound and pure. He has cultivated four supernatural abilities, all of which he has mastered to the pinnacle achievable at his level. Most importantly, you have a renowned master guiding you. His future is limitless."

The Master of Heaven nodded slightly: "Then, what if I were to invite you to be the protector of my disciple?"

When the Tongtian Sect Leader uttered these words, not only the yellow-robed Taoist priest, but even Fang Yang was taken aback.

His teacher made such a meticulous arrangement; not only did he assign him the best training ground, but he also found him a protector.

There are too many undercurrents within the Jie Sect, and the minor squabbles among the disciples mean that the Tongtian Sect Leader cannot always support Meng Chen.

No matter how invincible the Tongtian Sect Leader is, he can't be invincible to his own disciples. If he's unwilling to execute his own disciples, he can only increase Fang Yang's strength to deter those disciples who want to deal with him.

The yellow-robed Taoist priest was overwhelmed with gratitude. Being a protector of the disciples of the Sage's Great Teaching meant he had become a member of the Sage's Great Teaching in a roundabout way.

Moreover, the invitation from the Tongtian Sect Leader was a great honor for him.

His identity is clear enough; unlike the Taoist Ran Deng, he doesn't even have a clear seniority.

It is said that the Daoist Randeng was a disciple of the Primordial Sage, and the Twelve Golden Immortals called him their teacher. It is also said that the Daoist Randeng was a contemporary of the Primordial Sage, and he called the Primordial Sage his teacher.

"I am deeply grateful for the sage's favor. I will do my utmost to protect my young friend Fangyang."

With just a few words, the Tongtian Sect Leader arranged a protector for Fang Yang, making Fang Yang inwardly exclaim "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").

With this protector, he felt more confident when facing his fellow students.

"Disciple, this senior is called Daoist Qisha, a renowned Quasi-Saint powerhouse across the Ten Continents. Before you attain the Great Luo Dao, this senior will resolve all your troubles and worries."

It is said that cultivators need to undergo trials, but that is just self-comforting talk among rogue cultivators, because they do not have the necessary conditions.

The Master of the Heavens has countless methods to temper Fang Yang and strengthen his character. Fang Yang doesn't need to suffer like a wandering cultivator, enduring all sorts of hardships before advancing in his cultivation.

The direct disciples of the four major religions—Renjiao, Chanjiao, Jiejiao, and Xifangjiao—all came from this lineage.

The Master of Tongtian wanted to provide his disciple with the best possible environment for cultivation, and he wanted Fang Yang to achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm without any danger.

If anyone disagrees, they can come and fight him.

Fang Yang bowed respectfully to Daoist Qi Sha, his tone both respectful and composed: "Thank you for your protection, Senior Qi Sha. I will repay you handsomely in the future."

Master Qisha stroked his beard and smiled, the divine light in his eyes fading: "The Sage Shangqing has done me a great favor, and this is merely a small way of repaying him. I appreciate your kindness, young friend."

Fang Yang turned to look at the Tongtian Sect Leader, only to see the Tongtian Sect Leader nod slightly. He then knew that what the Seven Killings Daoist said was true and that he was not trying to curry favor with the Sage Sect.

"Disciple, your ability to see through the superficial appearance of supernatural arts and comprehend the principle that all laws contain the Dao proves that your comprehension is even superior to that of your senior brother. Moreover, there are shortcuts to cultivating supernatural arts."

After arranging a protector for Fang Yang, the Tongtian Sect Leader began to guide Fang Yang's cultivation.

He could see the path Fang Yang was going to take.

Some people learn formulas to use them, while others learn formulas to uncover their underlying principles.

Supernatural powers are the formula for cultivators.

Within the Jie Sect, only Fang Yang treated Daoist techniques as cultivation methods. When Fang Yang cultivated, he not only focused on developing supernatural powers, but also integrated the principles contained within those powers into his cultivation.

However, this is also one of the reasons why the Tongtian Sect Leader treated Fang Yangqing with such high regard.

The other disciples didn't do it, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

It's already quite an achievement that they can learn the formulas. Asking them to study the underlying principles of the formulas is like a dog trying to catch a mouse; they have no idea where to begin.

Fang Yang is different. Although he is not at the point where he can understand everything at a glance, as long as he is willing to learn and study, he will definitely be able to understand it.

His primordial spirit seemed to have an unparalleled affinity with Taoist arts; since he came into contact with them, no Taoist art could stump him. With just a little analysis, he could understand all the principles of Taoist arts.

Since Fang Yang has such comprehension, the Tongtian Sect Leader should let Fang Yang make full use of his advantages and catch up with his fellow disciples as quickly as possible.

Fang Yang remained calm, as if he were talking about something very ordinary:

"I know a little about the shortcut you mentioned, Master. When a Golden Immortal breaks through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, they can establish an anchor point in the River of Destiny, fixing their true self in the present world. Under the reflection of the River of Destiny, the Taiyi Golden Immortal will form countless selves in the past and future."

"What the teacher means is to use the present to interfere with the future, so that my future self can cultivate different supernatural powers. When I attain the Great Luo Realm, I will be able to gather all these supernatural powers together with my future self."

He simply didn't understand what a Great Luo Golden Immortal was all about; he was very clear about the characteristics of each realm.

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader laughed heartily:

"You truly are my disciple. I haven't even taught you yet, and you've already figured out this cultivation method on your own. I only recently came to understand this method myself. The River of Destiny is a constraint, but it is also an immense opportunity."

"As long as you suppress your cultivation after breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and do not try to restrain your future self, you can use your future self for cultivation. The longer you suppress it, the more of your future self you will cultivate to the peak of the Taiyi realm."

"When you attain the Great Luo realm, you can use your true self to shatter all your other selves, and reclaim their cultivation, supernatural powers, and Dao techniques into your own body, fusing them into one. At that time, you will be able to break through to the late Great Luo stage or even the peak of the Great Luo realm in one fell swoop."

At this point, even the Tongtian Sect Leader couldn't help but feel proud. His voice was full of power, making Fang Yang yearn for it.

Breaking directly from the peak of Taiyi to the peak of Daluo saves so many years.

However, Fang Yang was still completely clueless about how to use authenticity to control others. He didn't interrupt, but listened carefully to the Tongtian Sect Leader's explanation.
