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

At the same time, a great deal of heavenly merit also descended upon Taibai and others.

As merit continues to be poured in, Tai Bai's Geng metal sword is undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The Gengjin longsword trembled violently, its entire body overflowing with golden light, and the internal restrictions were faintly loosening.

However, even after all the merits had been absorbed, this magical treasure did not undergo a fundamental transformation.

It simply evolved from a superior-grade innate spiritual treasure into a superior-grade innate merit spiritual treasure.

On the other side, Aoki was still in a daze over this vast amount of merit and was somewhat at a loss.

"Green Wood, draw merit into your body to temper your physical form and enhance your cultivation!"

Taibai's voice rang out just in time.

He knew that Qingmu's foundation was shallow and that it would be extremely difficult for him to break through the Taiyi Pass on his own.

At this moment, building a foundation with merit is the only shortcut and the foundation for him to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm in the future.

Aoki trusted Taibai completely and immediately followed his instructions to circulate his magical power and guide the merit.

Xiao Hei, however, did the opposite, sealing all the merits he gained within his body and not using them for breakthrough.

"Taibai, my business is done, I shall take my leave now."

Nuwa's voice suddenly rang out, and the next moment, her figure had vanished from the spot.

Now that she has attained sainthood, some in the primordial world are overjoyed while others are filled with sorrow.

Within the Demon Court, a scene of jubilation prevailed.

From then on, the demon race had a saint, and their fortune was at its peak. Naturally, their power and authority in the prehistoric world became even greater.

At this moment, in the main hall of the Demon Court, apart from the Demon Master Kunpeng, all the powerful beings had gathered.

Emperor Jun sat upright, his gaze sweeping over the assembled officials, and said in a deep voice:

"Nuwa attained enlightenment, and Heaven blesses the demon race. Let us discuss, my lords, whether our next step should be to attack the witch race?"

Bai Ze stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and spoke slowly:

"Your Majesty, the Wu Clan is physically strong and has a deep foundation. It is advisable to fight them in this final battle."

The three innate races have now basically submitted. In my opinion, we should first settle our karmic debts with the Qingqiu and Baihu races, consolidate their power, and then organize our troops.

Only after the rear is pacified can we concentrate on attacking the witches and accomplish our goal in one decisive battle.

"Bai Ze, the Demon Saint, is mistaken!"

Donghuang Taiyi suddenly stepped forward and said to Dijun:

"Brother! Now that our demon race has a sage in charge, we should seize the opportunity and wipe out the witch race first!"

They slaughtered my demon race's sons and daughters in the past; this hatred is irreconcilable.

Sending troops at this moment is perfectly justified, both morally and logically!

The hall was immediately filled with discussion, with the various demons holding differing opinions and a dispute gradually arising.

……

While the demon court rejoiced, the atmosphere in the ancestral court of the witch clan was as heavy as iron.

The emergence of a sage among the demon race signifies that from this moment on, the witch race has fallen into a disadvantageous position in the prehistoric world.

"Where is Houtu, my little sister? Such a momentous event, why is she nowhere to be seen!"

"Brother, my younger sister has gone to seek out the primordial pure energy. She wants to try to resolve the matter of the ancestral witch's primordial spirit for us."

Dijiang closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

How could he not know the majesty of a sage?

With the current strength of the Wu tribe, resisting the sage is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

With Houtu absent at this moment, the Wu tribe has lost one of its pillars of support.

In his view, while refining the primordial spirit was important, it was far less urgent than dealing with the Demon Court's next move.

"Alas... is this the time for seclusion and enlightenment? How foolish."

At the same time, those cultivators who possessed the Primordial Purple Qi but had yet to find an opportunity to attain enlightenment also felt a strong sense of urgency.

Especially the Old Ancestor Hongyun in Wuzhuang Temple, who is now in a dilemma.

He gazed out the window, where the golden sunset glow had not yet faded and the emperor's majesty remained. He couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"When will I be able to encounter the opportunity to attain enlightenment and become a saint?"

Zhen Yuanzi, standing beside him, gently stroked his long beard and softly comforted him:

"Fellow Daoist Hongyun, do not be impatient. With the Purple Qi in hand, the Great Dao is within reach; it's only a matter of time."

"However, at this time, the power of the witches and demons is still unclear, and the aura of calamity is gradually rising, so it is definitely not the time to emerge from the world."

If you rashly get involved, you may face the calamity of death and the dissipation of your cultivation. You must wait patiently.

……

In the Kunlun Mountains, Taiqing gazed towards the Yellow River, his eyes deep and thoughtful, before finally speaking:

"Unexpectedly, the first one to break through was Junior Sister Nuwa, and my disciple was also there."

On Mount Sumeru in the west, the golden lotus is dim and the clouds are gloomy.

Zhunti's face was ashen, and he held the primordial purple energy in his hand, his aura fluctuating wildly.

"Senior brother, Nuwa has already attained sainthood. Where exactly is our chance to become saints?"

"I have been trying to comprehend this Qi for so long, yet I still see no way forward."

"Junior brother, don't be attached to appearances. The path is under your feet and in your heart."

Although our foundation in the West is weak, Heaven has granted us a glimmer of hope.

"Since the Dao Ancestor has bestowed upon us purple aura and accepted us as his nominal disciples, the path to sainthood will be determined by fate."

……

Time flows like a long river, never ceasing, and hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.

For hundreds of years, Taibai remained in the ancestral land of the human race, working tirelessly for these newly born humans.

Taibai devoted himself to the three beings he created with Xiao Hei and Qingmu, carefully guiding them and passing on suitable cultivation methods one by one.

However, before imparting his knowledge, he also solemnly warned the three:

This method is only for you and must not be passed on to other human races.

After all, preaching to the human race was an opportunity for his teacher, Taiqing, in the future.

As a disciple, how can I presume to go first and compete with my master for opportunities?

Over the course of a century, Taibai also gradually realized something:

Within his own body, he vaguely carried the fortune of a human.

"Is this the karma that Heaven bestowed upon me for helping my aunt Nuwa create humans?"

"But time is running out, I should go check on Xiao Hei and Qingmu first."

With that in mind, he went to the place where Xiao Hei and Qingmu were in seclusion.

At this moment, the two of them slowly awoke from their meditation.

Xiao Hei, through his merits and personal enlightenment, has now reached the perfect Golden Immortal level.

With all his merits poured into him, Qingmu also broke through in one fell swoop and stepped into the perfect realm of Golden Immortal.

Although the two are at the same level, their paths are completely different:

Aoki used all his merits to irrigate the foundation, while Xiao Hei used his merits to aid his enlightenment and deepen his cultivation.

After all, Xiao Hei's background is far superior to Qingmu's, and he possesses the potential of a great master, with a long road ahead.

Aoki bowed deeply, his voice choked with emotion:

"Thank you for this opportunity, sir. Without you, I would never have been able to reach the pinnacle of Golden Immortal cultivation in my lifetime."

Xiao Hei also bowed, though he didn't say much, his gaze was calm, and his gratitude was evident in his heart.

"Qingmu, you should return to Wuyi Mountain and guard the temple for me."

If any magical treasures are born, put them away first and wait for my return.

"Disciple obeys."

Aoki bowed solemnly, then his figure transformed into a stream of light and headed straight for Wuyi Mountain.

"Sir, shall I return to Wuyi Mountain with you?"

"Return to Taibai Palace on Kunlun Mountain. If you encounter any cultivators on their way to Kunlun to study under the Three Pure Ones, you may secretly protect them for a while, but please remember..."

Those without karma may be helped; those burdened with karma should be eliminated.

After speaking, Taibai's figure had already disappeared from the spot.

At this time, the Three Pure Ones should have already descended the mountain to travel and seek their own opportunities to attain enlightenment.

Among the Three Pure Ones, the first to attain sainthood was Taiqing Laozi.

The opportunity for their sainthood lies precisely in this newborn human race.

Tens of thousands of years have passed since Lao Tzu established the religion of humanity. Tai Bai was able to follow the mysterious Daoist connection to find him and help him fulfill this destiny.

If we can persuade Taiqing to establish the Human Teachings after he has reached the level of Quasi-Saint, he can use the merit of becoming a Saint to break through in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Taiqing's magical foundation will far surpass that of other Heavenly Dao Saints, making him the number one Saint below the Dao Ancestor.

The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the authority one gains over the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, the support behind him will become even more solid, enough to give him a head start in the future great trends.
