The Primordial Era: The Mythical Path Beginning with the Jie Sect

Chapter 4 The Three Pure Ones Separate Their Families, Earthly Immortals Achieve Perfection

For ten thousand years, Zhou Chen remained oblivious to the world around him, secluded in his cave, focusing solely on refining his Dao body.

After ten thousand years of refinement, Zhou Chen's Dao body is about to be formed.

Above Zhou Chen's head appeared his Longevity Dao Fruit, with 840 million star particles continuously supplying magical power to it. As the magical power flowed in, the Dao Fruit slowly transformed into a human form.

This humanoid figure is exactly the same as Zhou Chen, both in terms of aura and appearance. To outsiders, if the Dao body were not still somewhat illusory, they would not be able to distinguish which is the Dao body and which is the original body once it solidifies!
This is Zhou Chen's Dao Body. Once the Dao Body solidifies and enters the dimension of spacetime, he will essentially have two lives. Although he is not immortal, killing him will not be so easy.

If a Grand Luo Golden Immortal wanted to kill him, it would be impossible unless they used a special innate spiritual treasure. He wasn't stupid; he couldn't just stand there and wait to be killed. Of course, he would fight back!

With his magic power refined to the extreme, possessing incomparably powerful special magic power, it's uncertain who would emerge victorious in a battle against a Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Besides, if he couldn't win, wouldn't he just run away? Therefore, only a Quasi-Saint could threaten his life. To kill him, one must know of his Dao Body's existence and find it to destroy it together, thus ensuring his complete demise.

Moreover, there is a prerequisite: he must withstand the wrath of Shangqing Tongtian, who is a disciple of the Jie Sect. Therefore, Zhou Chen's safety can be basically guaranteed after his Dao body enters the space-time dimension, and there is basically no danger in the prehistoric world at this stage.

During this period, Kunlun Mountain was in chaos, because most of the disciples of the Jie Sect were of demon race origin, and their nature was to enjoy eating flesh and blood. They hunted spirit beasts all over Kunlun Mountain to satisfy their appetites, thus destroying the peaceful and harmonious atmosphere of Kunlun.

Originally, Yuqing Yuanshi disliked the demon race. The disciples of the Chan Sect followed suit and looked down on the disciples of the Jie Sect, believing that these superficial beings were not worthy of being disciples of a sage, which led to some conflicts.

The disciples of the Jie Sect were also somewhat indignant at the arrogant demeanor of the disciples of the Chan Sect, but they held back out of consideration for the dignity of the Sage. At first, they would only argue for a few words, but in the end, they parted on bad terms.

As time went on, the conflicts grew increasingly intense. To be fair, because Shangqing Tongtian taught without discrimination, the disciples he accepted were indeed of varying quality, with many having questionable character. As these wicked disciples continued to cause trouble, the conflict between the Chan and Jie sects intensified, eventually escalating into a full-blown battle. Due to their superior numbers, the Jie sect suffered some minor losses, but out of respect for the sage, the Chan sect disciples did not use excessive force, only sustaining minor injuries.

Yuqing Yuanshi was protective of his own, so he scolded Shangqing Tongtian for this. Shangqing Tongtian, being straightforward, snapped and the two had a big argument.

Seeing this, Laozi remained silent. He knew that from the moment the two established their great sects, their conflict was irreconcilable; it was only a matter of time before it erupted. After all, one expounded the Way of Heaven and acted in accordance with it, while the other sought to seize the Way of Heaven and defy fate. How could the two coexist?

Taiqing Laozi looked at Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian arguing and sighed helplessly.

"Ugh!"

"That's all!"

"I will leave Kunlun Mountain to the two of you. I will go to the primordial world to establish a new Daoist temple. Although Kunlun is a top-level blessed land, it cannot bear the lineage of the three sages."

After Taiqing Laozi finished speaking, he glanced at the two of them and then left Kunlun with Grand Master Xuandu.

Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian looked at the departing Taiqing Laozi with sadness in their eyes.

"Second brother, I'll leave Kunlun to you."

After Shangqing Tongtian finished speaking, he led the disciples of the Jie Sect away from Kunlun Mountain to search for a new training ground in the prehistoric land. However, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he did not inform Zhou Chen, who was in seclusion, before leaving.

The departure of Taiqing Laozi and Shangqing Tongtian from Kunlun Mountain also signifies the formal separation of the Three Pure Ones.

Ultimately, Taiqing Laozi established the Bajing Palace, a Taoist temple, on Shouyang Mountain, and was known as the Sage Taishang Laozi of the Human Sect.

Shangqing Tongtian established the Biyou Palace, a Taoist temple, on Jin'ao Island in the East Sea, and called himself Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Jie Sect. Yuqing Yuanshi renamed the Sanqing Palace to Yuxu Palace and called himself Yuanshi Tianzun of the Chan Sect.

Mount Sumeru in the West.

When the Sage Jieyin and the Sage Zhunti heard the news of the Three Pure Ones' separation, smiles appeared in their eyes.

"Senior brother, it seems that the Three Pure Ones have split up. In that case, our opportunity has come."

"As long as the Three Pure Ones were not separated, the power of the primordial world was always controlled by the three of them. Now that the Three Pure Ones have separated, the future of our Western Sect has a way out."

After the Sage Zhunti finished speaking, he looked towards the eastern land, a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the Sage of Guidance nodded in agreement, but he did not say anything further.

In the Primordial Heavenly Court, Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, Fuxi, Kunpeng, and other high-ranking members of the demon race were discussing matters when they heard the news and showed expressions of doubt.

"The separation of the Three Pure Ones is not a big deal for our demon race, but it is still of great importance. Now that the Three Pure Ones have each established their own Daoist temples, our demon race cannot but offer our congratulations."

After saying this, Di Jun began to ponder, and then made arrangements, sending Fuxi, Kunpeng, and Bai Ze to the places where the Three Pure Ones resided to congratulate them on establishing their Daoist temples.

Inside the Ancestral Witch Hall of the Witch Clan, the Twelve Ancestral Witches did not have much of an opinion when they heard that the Three Pure Ones had separated. They considered themselves descendants of Pangu and were not particularly fond of the Three Pure Ones. At this moment, they were more focused on the Demon Clan.

However, we still have to give them the respect they deserve. After all, the Three Pure Ones are saints, and they were transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu, so they have some connection with the Wu tribe. We should still send someone to offer our congratulations.

Dijiang, as the eldest of the Ancestral Witches, pondered carefully and dispatched three Ancestral Witches to the respective Daoist temples of the Three Pure Ones to congratulate them on the establishment of their temples. Zhujiuyin went to Laozi's Shouyang Mountain, while Houtu went to Yuanshi Tianzun's Kunlun Mountain.

Jumang went to the Golden Turtle Island of the Tongtian Sect Leader. Dijiang's arrangement was also well thought out. These three Ancestral Witches had the least temper and were calmer than the other Ancestral Witches, so it was just right for them to go. After all, they were going to offer their congratulations, not to make enemies. If they had sent a reckless man like Zhurong or Gonggong, they might have ended up fighting instead of offering their congratulations. Dijiang was really worried about the Witch Clan.

Countless powerful beings in the primordial world were shocked upon hearing the news, but after the initial shock, they began preparing gifts to congratulate the three saints on establishing their respective dojos.

What about our protagonist? He was unaware of all this. At this moment, he had already fully condensed his Dao body and was stepping into the dimension of space and time.

His Dao body was seen fully activating its magical power, which was filled with the aura of time and space, and directly summoned the River of Time and Space.

Dao Shen glanced at Zhou Chen, then stepped into the room without hesitation.

As Dao Shen stepped into the River of Time and Space, the river instantly erupted into chaos. Waves of temporal storms surged forth, pressing down on Dao Shen wave after wave. However, Dao Shen's unique temporal magic power suppressed these waves of temporal power with a single turn.

As the River of Time and Space stabilized, the Dao Body headed directly toward the spacetime dimension where the River of Time and Space was located, and soon disappeared. The River of Time and Space also disappeared from Zhou Chen's sight.

Zhou Chen could clearly sense that his Dao Body had reached the spacetime dimension, which was filled with spacetime power, occasionally stirring up spacetime storms and giant spacetime waves, which were full of dangers. However, these could not cause any harm to Zhou Chen's Dao Body. He sat down cross-legged and began to absorb spacetime power to cultivate.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen's eyes revealed a hint of relief. Now, his Dao body had already stepped into the dimension of time and space, and he had reached the peak of the Earth Immortal Realm, perfecting the cultivation method of the Mythical Earth Immortal Realm that he had created.
