Journey to the West: From the Primordial Era

In Zixiao Palace!

Thousands of years have passed since the Jade Emperor Haotian took control of the Heavenly Palace and stabilized it.

When Daozu Hongjun released the List of Gods for the first time, all the saints left in unhappiness.

After all, no one wants their own disciples to be on the list, and the few names that were filled in after searching hard can't even fill one tenth of the List of Gods!

Upon seeing this, Daozu asked all the saints to leave and come to Zixiao Palace to discuss the List of Gods after they had discussed the matter.

This time, the great calamity of the Conferred Gods is presided over by Daozu Hongjun. Daozu must want to take this opportunity to weaken the power of the Three Pure Ones. If the Three Pure Ones are undefeated, how can Daozu Hongjun devour the Heavenly Dao!

The prehistoric world is a perfect world created by Pangu. This world has Pangu's consciousness, and the Three Pure Ones are the incarnations of Pangu's primordial spirit. To weaken the luck of the Three Pure Ones is to weaken the will of Heaven. As long as Pangu's will of Heaven is weakened, the Taoist can devour Heaven, take over Heaven and become the controller of the prehistoric Heaven.

Daozu Hongjun has been eyeing the three thousand great ways of this prehistoric world. Even though the Three Pure Ones are his disciples, they cannot stop Hongjun's next layout.

Thus, thousands of years passed in a flash, and all the saints arrived as promised and gathered in Zixiao Palace again!

"This signing of the Conferred God List is a sign of the great trend of heaven and earth. After a hundred years, when you have reached an agreement, sign the Conferred God List!"

Inside the Zixiao Palace, Daoist Patriarch Hongjun showed no sadness or joy, he sat high on the cloud platform and spoke calmly.

Weakening the Three Pure Ones, suppressing their luck, and supporting Western religions are already the next plans of Hongjun Daozu, and no one can change it.

Beside him, the Heavenly Book of the List of Gods emitted endless golden light, and the divine whip beside it was equally dazzling.

But in the eyes of the saints, it was like a hot potato and seemed particularly glaring.

Among the Three Pure Ones, Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, as well as the Western religion's Zhunti, Jie Yin Taoist, Nuwa, and Hou Tian Niangniang all do not want to be included in the List of Gods.

"Of my disciples, there is only Xuandu left, but he can no longer be sent to the Conferred God List. Xuandu's disciple Xuankong is only a third-generation disciple, and also a single person!"

Laozi, as the leader of the Three Pure Ones, spoke first.

Yuanshi did step forward and sign the List of Gods, but the Twelve Golden Immortals of his Chan sect could not fill in the name. As for the outer disciples, he only selected those who were immortals of virtue and good fortune, with excellent aptitude and foundation, such as the immortal Yun Zhongzi of virtue and good fortune. This made Yuanshi unable to write at all. He just signed his name, then his face turned ugly and he refused to fill in any more names!

No saint wants to send his disciples to enter the List of Gods and accept its constraints.

The same thing happened to Tongtian. He stepped forward but couldn't fill in a single name!

There was no other reason. When he signed the List of Conferred Gods for the first time, the names he filled in were all those of people with shallow fortunes, poor roots and extremely poor aptitudes. For these people, being able to be on the List of Conferred Gods was indeed an opportunity.

But for the remaining disciples, even if their aptitude is poor, if they are wholeheartedly seeking the truth, Tongtian will not be able to bear it and will cut off their path to immortality!

After all, his way is to teach everyone without discrimination in order to seize a glimmer of hope for survival!

Although his disciples' aptitude is not so good, there is still a glimmer of hope. He can't bear to send them to the List of Gods!

Needless to say, after hesitating for a long time, he didn't write down a single name.

"Since you are all unwilling to sign the Conferred God List, send your disciples to the Conferred God List. The catastrophe begins, and the four sects will rely on their own abilities. Our disciples are not blessed enough, so they are on the Conferred God List. This is a foregone conclusion, and there is no possibility of regret!"

Daozu Hongjun looked at the four saints who were unwilling to sign the List of Conferred Gods and said without any sadness or joy.

Nuwa and Houtian didn't speak either. They didn't have a sect. Although Nuwa had a disciple, Ao Qing, he was just a disciple. Not to mention Houtian, he didn't even have any power in the cycle of reincarnation.

The four most powerful sects are Jiejiao, Chanjiao, Western Jiao, and Human Jiao.

As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, the List of Gods fell into the hands of Yuanshi Tianzun.

In the ancient times, the evil spirit of the catastrophe suddenly became a thousand times denser. For a moment, the mysteries of heaven were obscure, and even the saints could not calculate anything!

......

Kunlun Mountain, the place where Buddhism is taught.

Hey, my good disciple, why did you think of coming back?

Taiyi Zhenren walked out of the cave with a smile, looked at Lingzhuzi who was standing in a daze in front of the cave door, and said jokingly: "Are you tired of playing with your good brother? Or do you miss your master and come back to see me?"

Lingzhuzi sighed, stood up, bowed to Taiyi Zhenren as a disciple, and then sat back on the bluestone at the edge of the cliff with his head down.

"What's wrong?"

Taiyi Zhenren asked in confusion, "Are you in a bad mood? Could it be that the little jade rabbit has other good brothers?"

'Master...how can I overcome this bottleneck?

I am only one step away from facing the Golden Immortal Tribulation. Even if I am crushed to pieces in the Golden Immortal Tribulation, it is better than being in the middle stage now. Now I am still a Taiyi Xuanxian, and I only have one step to enter the Golden Immortal stage. I just need to take that step...'

Lingzhuzi complained.

'Hey! What nonsense are you talking about!'

Taiyi Zhenren said with a smile: "How can we judge the quality of cultivation by speed? Examples of people accumulating strength and then achieving great things later in life are very common in the ancient world.

You are only one step away from immortality, how can you give up now?

Besides, even if you can't live forever, Master will try his best to extend your lifespan. Don't you still have Uncle Yun Zhongzi? He can give you peaches every few hundred years. Isn't that the same as living forever?'

'That's not the case, Master. I am not afraid of a short life, I am only afraid of mediocrity!'

Lingzhuzi corrected.

"Silly disciple," Taiyi Zhenren said with a smile, "sometimes you don't have to compare yourself with others. Just live your own life comfortably.

"This is how life is for immortals. Every immortal has different circumstances, opportunities, and themselves, so their achievements are also different."

“Sometimes, if you don’t work hard, you won’t know the gap between you and others. If you don’t strive forward, you won’t understand where you will fail.”

"Now you can use the bottleneck as an excuse to not work hard and play with your good brothers every day. Isn't that comfortable... Hey, where are you going?"

"Why are you still crying?"

"Master is trying to persuade you to be happier. Maybe your bottleneck will be solved... Don't cry, my dear disciple! Master said the wrong thing!"

When Taiyi Zhenren saw Lingzhuzi was about to leave, he hurriedly tried to persuade him. After persuading Lingzhuzi, Taiyi Zhenren went to find Yuanshi Tianzun.

......

On the side of Yuanshi Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the impatient Taiyi Zhenren and also thought of the List of Gods.

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and said, "Reincarnate. He has an innate Dao body. Only by reincarnating can he break through to the Golden Immortal and experience a lifetime among the human race."

The meaning of the innate Taoist body is to allow Lingzhuzi to transform into a human being and enjoy the advantages of the human race's innate Taoist body. The method is just as he, the Original Heavenly Venerable, said, to rebuild with memories.

"Yes, Master, I'll make the arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren could only nod his head. After talking with Yuanshi Tianzun about some great matters, he quickly said goodbye and left.

The twelve golden immortals of the Chan sect wanted to take Lingzhuzi's soul to the Samsara Tower through the back door, and let Dizang take action to transform Lingzhuzi's soul into a fetal spirit state close to reincarnation;

He also had to take Lingzhuzi to the Three Immortals Island to borrow the Hunyuan Golden Bowl to strip away Lingzhuzi's magic power and Taoist realm.

Of course, several immortals from the Chan sect will accompany you throughout the journey.

Letting Taiyi Zhenren owe a favor to the Three Immortals Island and asking them to show mercy in the subsequent killing spree can be considered as an arrangement that goes with the flow.

After going through these steps, a 'fetal spirit' ready to be born is born perfectly.

But these also take a long time.

They, the Twelve Golden Immortals, are preparing.
