Primordial Era: From Primordial Human Race to Grand Luo Immortal

Chapter 3.3. Rejected by the Humanist School and the Chan School, he ultimately joined the Jie School.
Ji Yuan and Xuan Du stood in front of the Nuwa clay sculpture.

“Xuan Du, recite it with me.”

Ji Yuan reminded him.

"By the Holy Mother, I, Ji Yuan..."

"..."

Once one reaches the level of a sage, all words spoken will be known. Nuwa would certainly hear Ji Yuan and Xuan Du's prayers, but whether she would heed them or not is another matter entirely.

And so, the two of them prayed for a long time.

The clay sculpture remained motionless.

"Tsk, this doesn't make sense. Today is clearly my lucky day."

Ji Yuan stroked his chin, muttering to himself.

"Ji Yuan, is this alright? I'm a little sleepy."

Xuandu started to feel sleepy again.

It can only be said that he is indeed a person who has attained enlightenment in a dream, and he can fall asleep in any situation, which is very much in line with the teachings of the Humanistic Education School of tranquility and non-action.

"No rush, let me think about it some more."

Ji Yuan waved his hand and said.

"What exactly went wrong?"

"How about we set out some offerings?"

Without hesitation, Ji Yuan immediately brought out two glasses of the oldest chilled Zhu juice and placed them in front of the clay sculpture. He even brought out a chess set and placed it aside, which he used to pass the time in his spare time. If it weren't for the fact that paper was not suitable for publication at this time, he would really like to write a few books and send them over.

After all, many novels from the previous life mentioned that the goddess Nuwa liked novel things.

"This time, it should work, right?"

Ji Yuan calculated with his fingers and concluded that it was still a very auspicious day.

……

At this moment, far away in the depths of chaos, in the Snail Palace.

Nuwa, with a human head and a snake's body, lay on the bed, attended by two exquisitely sculpted children.

"This is so true."

Nuwa lightly tapped her finger.

The two glasses of juice and the chess set instantly traversed the thirty-three heavens and arrived at the Nuwa Palace.

"Suck it~"

"uh-huh?"

A look of surprise immediately appeared on Nuwa's beautiful face.

"I never expected that the juice made from red fruit and then chilled would taste so delicious and refreshing."

Beings like Nuwa, born from innate nature, have been fed on various spiritual roots and divine objects since birth. They never imagined that something as lowly as the Vermilion Fruit could bring them such a feeling.

"Then what is this square box?"

The box containing the chess pieces floated up, was disassembled, and Nuwa knew the rules of chess after only glancing at the rules engraved on the box.

"I see. The generals and commanders do not meet, and each piece follows the rules and performs its own duties."

"Doesn't this foreshadow the future structure of the primordial world?"

"I never imagined that the human race, created by the workings of nature, would possess such creativity."

"Body integrated with the laws of creation, one truly possesses creativity."

Nuwa's gaze swept across the land, and all the scenes of human life came into her view. Various tribes stood side by side, but in terms of advancement, Ji Yuan's tribe was the most advanced, already showing signs of men farming and women weaving.

This is also one of Ji Yuan's achievements over hundreds of years. Due to his lack of strength, Ji Yuan has always been helping others around the tribe, and he would preach this principle after each time he helped someone.

Humans are the most creative race. They need to think more and imagine more. They are already seeing initial results, and perhaps this will allow more humans to survive the Lich War.

At this time, in the wooden house.

Ji Yuan rubbed his eyes, and seeing that the offerings had indeed disappeared, he exclaimed in surprise:
"Xuan Du, it's done."

“It really works.”

Xuan Du's eyes widened as well.

Ji Yuan was filled with excitement, for the day of his enlightenment was about to arrive.

The next moment, a red light flashed, and Ji Yuan and Xuan Du disappeared.

When he opened his eyes again, a magnificent palace appeared before him, and Nuwa, whom he had only seen when he was an adult, stood before him.

"Greetings, Holy Mother."

Ji Yuan and Xuan Du spoke up.

Nuwa nodded. In her eyes, there was no distinction between beauty and ugliness among the various human beings, but at this moment, Ji Yuan was more pleasing to the eye than Xuan Du, as if heaven and earth favored Ji Yuan more. "I understand what you seek, but you cannot cultivate my laws."

Nuwa's voice wasn't condescending; instead, it had a motherly warmth—yes, she was a mother after all.

This warm voice made Ji Yuan's heart sink to the bottom. Was he really going to have to cross billions of miles of wilderness to Kunlun? Whether he could even fly there alive was a question.

"but,"

Ji Yuan's calm heart jumped again.

"I will send you to Kunlun. Whom you can become disciples of depends on your good fortune."

Nuwa glanced at Xuandu one more time.

Another red light flashed, and in an instant, the three of them arrived at Mount Kunlun.

An extremely simple Taoist temple.

At this moment, the Supreme Lord was meditating on a futon.

Upon seeing Nuwa arrive, he rose and bowed:
"Junior sister, what brings you here?"

Nuwa returned the greeting with a bow and replied:
"Senior brother, I have come here to find a teacher to help my two children learn the Dharma."

The Supreme Being stroked his beard and chuckled: "Xuan Du and I were originally master and disciple, as for Ji Yuan..."

“He does not conform to my doctrines, his mind… is in turmoil.”

The Supreme Lord was kind and benevolent, like a highly respected elder, but he poured cold water on Ji Yuan's enthusiasm.

However, Ji Yuan didn't care; his mind was indeed in turmoil.

Xuandu was stunned when he saw Taishang. In his dreams, there was often an old Taoist who taught him Taoist magic. That old Taoist was exactly the same as Taishang. How could he not understand now?

He immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"Master."

The Supreme Lord stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

The red light flashed again.

Outside Yuxu Palace, a thousand peaks vie in beauty, and purple clouds drift from the east for thirty thousand miles; inside the palace, auspicious mists float in the air, and ten thousand golden lamps illuminate the hall.

This is the Taoist temple of the Primordial Celestial Venerable—the Jade Void Palace.

A familiar greeting.

Yuanshi said indifferently, "The doctrine of my religion is to explain the heavens and follow the mandate of heaven."

“This child isn’t quite right in line with the family. Although I find him quite agreeable, the rules cannot be broken.”

Ji Yuan already knew the outcome and was not disappointed.

Nuwa, however, glanced at Ji Yuan a few more times.

"You're truly my good child, for making Yuanshi speak so pleasingly."

After the compilation and farewell.

Another flash of red light.

Outside Biyou Palace, a Taoist priest dressed in a black robe with gold patterns, wearing a purple-gold crown, was practicing swordplay.

This person was none other than the Master of the Shangqing Tongtian Sect.

Upon seeing Nuwa arrive, he quickly sheathed his magic sword and laughed loudly, "Junior Sister must be here to deliver a disciple to me."

The Tongtian Sect Leader spoke with great joy, like a child.

The Heavenly Dao is fifty, the Great Evolution is forty-nine, and one escapes. The Intercepting Sect intercepts this one that has escaped. It seizes a sliver of life amidst the inviolability of Heaven's mandate, which is an act against Heaven.

The Three Pure Ones and the Three Teachings: one teaches non-action, one follows the will of Heaven, and one defies the will of Heaven. The conflict between the three teachings is the fundamental reason for the later division of the Three Pure Ones into three separate families.

Nuwa nodded and replied, "Senior brother, you guessed correctly. This is my most outstanding human disciple, who seeks immortality. My path is incompatible with his, so he has come to find you."

The Tongtian Sect Leader laughed heartily and said, "As your brother, I will naturally grant your request, junior sister. Besides, I find that this child and I get along quite well."

The Tongtian Sect Leader took a liking to Ji Yuan at first sight; not only was he handsome, but the aura he exuded was also quite to his liking.

This is the influence of Ji Yuan's auspicious beast traits. These traits do not have the power to bewitch, and even if they did, they could not bewitch such a powerful being. These traits are more like arousing people's yearning for beauty.

"In that case, I will entrust him to you, senior brother."

After Nuwa finished speaking, she disappeared from Biyou Palace.

One sentence also drifted into Ji Yuan's ears:

"If you find anything new or interesting, remember to give it to me."

"It seems that Goddess Nuwa quite likes it."

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Looking at the Tongtian Sect Leader, Ji Yuan bowed and kowtowed, addressing him as Master.
