The Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones

Taibai immediately understood what Yuanshi meant.

To his slight surprise, the Primordial One did not possess the unattainable divinity he had anticipated.

On the contrary, Yuan Shi's demeanor exudes a calmness, and his brows are filled with a gentle warmth that is almost human.

The principle that those who understand the times are wise is universally applicable.

Now, he has no choice.

His movements were incredibly fast, without the slightest hesitation.

First, he respectfully took a small step back to create some distance, then bent his knees and knelt down on the ground with a "plop" without hesitation.

The knees made a clear, dull thud as they hit the hard rocky ground, demonstrating their effort and determination.

Immediately afterwards, he bowed down and touched the ground with his head, making three loud thuds.

After he finished bowing, he did not get up immediately, but maintained a humble posture.

"Disciple Taibai was originally a rootless duckweed, fortunate to have been born by the grace of heaven and earth. Today, after wandering and drifting here, I have been blessed by three teachers who have given me the grace of enlightenment. This grace is like being reborn. I am humbled and deeply grateful for this rare opportunity."

"This disciple wishes to become a disciple and learn the Dao, and to cultivate diligently. However, the Three Pure Ones are originally one, therefore this disciple wishes to become a disciple of all three teachers simultaneously, and to listen to their profound teachings on the Great Dao!"

Instead of choosing to become an apprentice to one of the Three Pure Ones, Taibai tentatively tried to win over all three.

In this way, he would not only gain three powerful backers, but it would also make his future actions more convenient.

However, since the Three Pure Ones took human form, they have traveled through the endless primordial world for countless years. The beings they encountered either showed awe or discussed the Dao with them, but they had never heard Taibai make such shameless remarks.

Therefore, they were somewhat taken aback for a moment.

This is practically wiping out all three brothers in one fell swoop!

But the Three Pure Ones, being top-tier beings, instantly regained their senses.

The next moment, the three Pure Ones' gazes met silently, and their divine senses exchanged countless pieces of information in an instant.

Taiqing Laozi was the first to regain his calm demeanor, gently waving his whisk and speaking in a peaceful voice:

"Well, since that's the case, I have no objection. However, the Three Pure Ones have different understandings of the Dao. In the future, you will need to choose a Dao yourself, or create one yourself."

After speaking, he calmly looked at Yuanshi and Tongtian beside him, his gaze conveying an acceptance, though it was a question.

Yuanshi and Tongtian exchanged another glance, both seeing the same decision in each other's eyes:

This young man's background, temperament, and even his "sharpness" are all of the highest quality. Although there are exceptions, it is not necessarily a bad thing to take him under the wing. At least it eliminates some possible misunderstandings between brothers and completely binds this young man to the Three Pure Ones.

"Very well, from this day forward you shall be a disciple of the Three Pure Ones!"

"Disciple Taibai pays respects to Master Taiqing, Master Yuanshi, and Master Tongtian!"

"Okay, let's go back to Kunlun Mountain with us."

"Yes, then come back to the mountain with us."

Taiqing Laozi nodded slightly and casually waved his whisk at him.

The next second, Taibai felt a dizzying sensation as the world spun around him.

In a flash, he disappeared at the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.

He composed himself, looked up, and involuntarily held his breath.

At this moment, he found himself inside a palace of indescribable magnificence.

The dome is high and distant, with the illusory shadows of stars seemingly moving around;

Several coiled jade pillars, each requiring several people to encircle, support the heavens and the earth, radiating a faint spiritual light;

The ground is so smooth it reflects light like a mirror; it is neither gold nor jade.

With each breath he took, an extremely rich innate spiritual energy would automatically flow into his limbs and bones.

"As expected of the ancestral vein of the primordial world, the innate spiritual energy is so rich that it turns into mist on its own... One day of cultivation here is probably comparable to a hundred years of hard work in the outside world."

Taibai was deeply shocked and could hardly look away, feeling as if every "pore" on his body was cheering.

The Three Pure Ones took in his moment of "being in a daze".

They naturally assumed that this young disciple, who had never seen much of the world, was completely overwhelmed by the supreme immortal aura of Kunlun Mountain.

Although Venus and Ziwei are also ancestral celestial bodies, how can they compare to the sacred Kunlun Mountain?

Tongtian deliberately cleared his throat to draw Taibai's attention back, and said with a joyful expression:

"Ahem, my good disciple, there will be plenty of time to explore this place later. You are the embodiment of the innate Geng metal essence, endowed with the strongest and sharpest qualities, and are destined for slaughter. You are a natural-born swordsman. I will now entrust you with all the Shangqing Immortal Techniques and my understanding of the laws of the sword!"

Then, Tongtian pointed his fingers like a sword and pointed at Taibai's brow.

A massive flow of information then flooded into Taibai's mind.

"The essence of Geng metal is endowed with innate sharpness. It is not only for swords, but also a supreme material for forging divine weapons and casting Dao artifacts. My disciple, since you have become a disciple of the three of us, you must cultivate the Great Dao of Jade Purity."

Yuanshi drew his fingers as if carving, making a sweeping motion in the air, and the two golden rays flowing from his fingertips merged into Taibai's brow.

"This is the Jade Purity Immortal Method, which elucidates the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and the order of all things, and is the foundation of the Dao. The other is the Jade Void Refining Technique, which contains various methods such as refining materials and controlling fire. You possess the innate Geng Metal source, and learning this technique will be like adding wings to a tiger. Your future achievements will be limitless."

As this radiance merged with him, Taibai felt his primordial spirit sink, as if he had been thrown into an eternally burning furnace of creation, where countless profound truths about "materiality," "spirituality," and "creation" surged forth.

This is not only a method for refining weapons, but also a Jade Purity Codex that elucidates the "Way of Things".

Having received the inheritance from two powerful beings in succession, even Taibai found it difficult to understand for a while.

Just then, Taiqing Laozi, who had been observing the situation quietly, also made a move.

He gently flicked the whisk in his hand forward, and three golden rays appeared. Two rays merged into Taibai's brow, while the other flew towards the secondary peak of the three main peaks of Kunlun Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, with a loud rumble, a magnificent palace appeared on the peak.

Taiqing Laozi looked at the completed palace and said:

"This palace will serve as your place to cultivate. Within the palace, there are arrays for gathering spiritual energy, calming the mind, and providing protection, all naturally formed by the mountain's terrain and veins. Consider this, along with the fundamental principles of the Taiqing Immortal Technique that I just imparted, as a gift from your master to you."

"Your innate killing intent is both your strength and a hidden danger. The way of the Five Elements values ​​balance. Excessive Geng metal makes you too rigid and easily broken, which is detrimental to cultivation and the path of the Way."

Suddenly, Laozi paused slightly, his voice carrying a soothing and guiding power:

"Therefore, you may first study the Taiqing Immortal Method, which is of a balanced and peaceful nature, containing the wonder of endless life. It is most effective in harmonizing sharpness and stabilizing the foundation, so that the Geng metal energy in your body will not become agitated and unbalanced. Once your foundation is solid, your master will take care of it and find the essence of the other innate five elements to help you complete your creation, balance your origin, and lay the foundation for the supreme Dao."

Finally, Laozi looked at his two younger brothers beside him and said slowly:

"My two brothers and I returned from listening to the Dao Ancestor preach the Great Dao at Zixiao Palace. Each of us has gained some insights and needs to go into seclusion to discuss and organize our understanding. You have just taken human form and your cultivation is still unstable. You should go into seclusion first to consolidate your cultivation."

"Your disciple obeys, and thanks the three teachers for their kindness!"

When Taibai looked up again, the Three Pure Ones had already disappeared from the spot.
