Primordial Era: I Became a Disciple of the Shangqing Sect After Being Become a Disciple of the Jie S

Exhaling a breath of stale air, a sharp glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes as he murmured to himself, "Even if I missed the three lectures at Zixiao Palace, with my talent, foundation, and destiny, I will eventually embark on the path of transcending the Dao and reaching the Primordial Chaos Realm."

After all, the ascension of Pangu and the Three Pure Ones to sainthood was the inevitable trend of Heaven. Once the eldest master, second master, and master obtained the Primordial Dao Fruit, this vast prehistoric world would fall under the tutelage of the three religions.

As a direct disciple of the Three Pure Ones, backed by the Primordial Saint, and possessing numerous supreme treasures and secret techniques, it would be difficult for him not to rise to prominence!

Thinking of the white jade plate, the Xuanhuang Evolutionary Pearl, the Xuanhuang Purity and Turbidity Diagram, the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc, the top-grade innate spiritual root "Tree of Life," and the secret technique for condensing primordial purple energy in his hands, Lu Yuan felt confident and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Lu Yuan focused his attention on his cultivation. After condensing the two streams of Five Qi in his chest, his magical power cultivation advanced significantly in the mid-stage of the Golden Immortal realm. Perhaps by activating the innate water elemental Qi in his kidney orifice and condensing the water elemental Qi in his chest, he could break through to the late-stage of the Golden Immortal realm.

Nodding to himself, Lu Yuan was very satisfied with this cultivation speed!

After taking a deep breath, Lu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and began to use the secret technique to nourish his kidneys with the "Three Lights Divine Water" in an attempt to ignite the spiritual energy within his kidneys and condense the innate water element.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed. In the Zixiao Palace, Hongjun Daozu stopped reciting the sage's admonitions and no longer explained the quasi-sage path. His gaze swept over the group of great supernatural beings and Daluo Daojun and said: "Thirty thousand years have passed. This second sermon is over. After the First Yuan Assembly, I will begin lecturing on the Hunyuan Sage path in the Zixiao Palace. This will also be the last sermon!"

In the past, I obtained the Jade Disc of Creation, a divine artifact of the Heavenly Dao, comprehended the Three Thousand Great Daos, and attained the Dao Fruit of the Primordial Saint. After preaching the Dao to all beings three times, I merged my body with the Heavenly Dao, using the body of a saint to fill the gaps in the Heavenly Dao.

If you have any questions, please ask them quickly, and I will answer them for you..."

Upon hearing this, the powerful cultivators and Dao Lords of Zixiao Palace were deeply moved. After exchanging a glance, the Three Pure Ones Daoists stood up and asked, "May I ask, Master, what is a Sage?"

"A sage is one whose primordial spirit resides in the void, is in harmony with the Way of Heaven, holds the boundless profound mysteries of the Great Way, transcends the long river of time, achieves the Primordial Dao Fruit, remains unblemished through countless eons, remains untainted by cause and effect, exists in harmony with the Way of Heaven, and rules the universe."

With a single thought, a sage becomes omniscient and omnipotent, surveying the past, present, and future, wielding the great power of Heaven, supremely majestic, and eternally indestructible.

Below even a sage, all are but ants!

The cold voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun rang out in Zixiao Palace. All the great supernatural beings gasped in shock, utterly astonished by the boundless divine power of the saint.

The phrase "below the saint, all are ants" filled the hearts of the powerful cultivators with bitterness. They had cultivated diligently for countless years, yet they were still just ants. How could they not break through their defenses?

Just as the group of powerful beings were lost in thought, the Jade Purity Primordial Daoist rose and asked, "Master, is there a method to attain enlightenment?"

After the voice fell, the three thousand mortal guests of Zixiao Palace could no longer be distracted. They all perked up and their eyes revealed undisguised longing as they stared eagerly at Hongjun.

"There are three thousand Great Daos, each of which can lead to the attainment of the Primordial Dao. There are three paths to sainthood."

The Supreme Method is the path to sainthood through the rules of the Great Dao. Since the beginning of time, there have been three thousand rules of the Great Dao. As long as one cultivates the Great Dao to the level of Hunyuan, one can use the power of the rules of the Great Dao to break through the Heavenly Dao, pass through the Hunyuan Dao Tribulation, and obtain the Dao Fruit of the Hunyuan Saint.

In the ancient era, the three generations of gods and demons, the Cangli clan, the Yuejian clan, and the Jiutou clan, all became saints by following the path of the Great Dao and its rules. I have also tried this method, but unfortunately, I have not succeeded!

The Chinese method is the way of the Three Corpses. By severing the three corpses of good, evil, and attachment, and uniting the three corpses into one, one can naturally obtain the Dao fruit of the Primordial Saint.

I created the method of "severing the three corpses" to attain enlightenment. It is a pity that good and evil are easy to sever, but attachments are hard to eliminate!

The lower method is the method of attaining enlightenment through merit. Among the three paths, this method is the simplest, yet it can also be said to be the most difficult. It requires performing great merit to gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao through immeasurable merit, and the Heavenly Dao will then bestow upon you the Primordial Dao Fruit!

Upon hearing this, the powerful beings in Zixiao Palace automatically dismissed the idea of ​​attaining enlightenment through the rules of the Great Dao and the method of achieving enlightenment through merit.

The Supreme Law proves the Dao through the rules of the Great Dao. Even the Three Sovereigns of the Heavenly Emperors and the Sages of Zixiao Palace in the Divine and Demonic Dao Era could not succeed in it. The great supernatural beings present here dare not think that they can succeed in it.

It should be understood that before the sages of Zixiao Palace expounded on the secret technique of "severing the three corpses" and the path of quasi-sages, the great supernatural beings in the prehistoric world all followed the path of comprehending the rules of the Great Dao and attaining enlightenment.

They have a deep understanding of the difficulties of attaining enlightenment through the Dharma!

As for the method of attaining enlightenment through merit, even the saints of Zixiao Palace said that it requires immeasurable merit, so the amount of merit required must be unimaginable.

Among the great supernatural beings present, some have never even seen the Heavenly Dao Merit, so how could they obtain immeasurable Heavenly Dao Merit?

Upon closer examination, the path of severing the three corpses is actually the most reliable, since the current sage of Zixiao Palace proved himself to be a Primordial Saint through this method.

The Daoist Shangqing Tongtian stood up and asked, "May I ask, Master, are there any differences in the superiority or inferiority among these three methods for attaining the Primordial Sainthood?"

"He comprehends the rules of the Great Dao, creates his own method to attain the Dao, obtains the Dao fruit of the Dao Ancestor Saint, and proves himself to be a Primordial Golden Immortal. He possesses the highest combat power and potential."

He attained enlightenment by severing the three corpses, achieving the Dao fruit of a primordial sage and becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal. His combat strength and potential were secondary.

Those who perform meritorious deeds and attain enlightenment will receive the Dao fruit of the Heavenly Dao, which is entrusted to the primordial Heavenly Dao, making them immortal and indestructible, existing alongside Heaven and Earth!

The cold voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun echoed in Zixiao Palace.

"May I ask, teacher, what are the differences between these three types of Dao Fruits? What is the difference between a Primordial Golden Immortal and a Sage?" Donghuang Taiyi stood up and asked.

"The Dao Ancestor Saint has the highest status. He is a great being who walks the path of comprehending the rules of the Great Dao and opens up the art of proving the Dao. He can be called the ancestor of the Dao!"

The innate sages attain the next level of enlightenment, those within the primordial world are sages, and those in the chaos are Primordial Golden Immortals, who are not bound by the Heavenly Dao.

The Dao Fruit of the Heavenly Dao Saint is bound to the Heavenly Dao. The fruit is entrusted to the Primordial Heavenly Dao, making it immortal and indestructible, existing alongside Heaven and Earth!

A Primordial Golden Immortal is a sage, but a sage is not a Primordial Golden Immortal!

Hongjun Daozu glanced at Taiyi and said calmly.

"May I ask, teacher, among us, who is capable of attaining the status of a Primordial Saint?"

Thinking of the boundless divine powers of the Primordial Saint, Di Jun couldn't resist the urge and got up to ask.

Hongjun glanced at the gods of Zixiao Palace and said coldly, "Among you, not one will be able to attain the Primordial Dao within countless eons. As for the Dao Fruit of Sainthood, only those with the right destiny can attain it!"

Upon hearing the words of the Sage of Zixiao Palace, the group of powerful beings were instantly stunned. The Dao Ancestor actually said that within ten thousand eons, none of them could attain the Primordial Dao.

In other words, even if they followed the path of quasi-saints and cultivated the technique of "severing the three corpses," they could only maintain the body of an ant.

How could they accept this?

Within the span of countless eons, how long is that?
