Master Xuandu of the Renjiao School?

Cao Ya's heart stirred, and he stared intently at it.

At the entrance to the Jade Pool, which was radiating divine light and celestial energy, a middle-aged Taoist priest walked slowly. His face was calm, but his eyes seemed empty, devoid of any emotion or fluctuation.

"Is he the Grand Master Xuandu of the Human Sect?" Cao Ya heard a deity ask in a low voice, as if questioning.

The middle-aged Taoist priest was nothing special; he was very ordinary, just like an ordinary person in the mortal world. You would never guess that he was the only disciple of the Primordial Saint and a powerful Daluo expert!

The middle-aged Taoist priest was completely unaware of the gazes of the immortals in the Jade Pool. He walked up to the Queen Mother of the West and bowed in respect.

The Queen Mother lowered her head and smiled, saying:

"Grand Master Xuandu has arrived. I've heard that the Grand Master of Taiqing..."

As they spoke, the power of the Great Dao swept through, making the figures of the Queen Mother and Grand Master Xuandu blurry, as if they were in another universe.

Cao Ya noticed that many of the immortals sighed.

He also felt a little regretful. It was obvious that the Queen Mother of the West wanted to discuss important matters with Grand Master Xuandu, which even involved the Primordial Saint—Master Taiqing. If he could have overheard even a few words, he might have been able to discern the current situation and understand the secrets of heaven and the cause and effect.

Do you think I don't know how many days I've been eavesdropping on?

Cao Ya muttered to himself that he could roughly estimate the changes that would occur in the future.

However, this "primordial" universe differs slightly from the historical timeline he is familiar with.

This is normal. For example, the universe of "Peerless Sovereign" can also be said to be set in the primordial era, but the evolution of many eras and the final direction of the era are unpredictable.

This can be called a parallel spacetime or a parallel universe.

A seemingly plausible yet ambiguous universe and spacetime.

My "Fragment of the One Yuan Golden Elixir" seems to have intricate connections with the Human Teachings... Should I take this opportunity to get closer to Grand Master Xuandu?

Cao Ya pondered. He only had a fragment of the One Yuan Golden Elixir Method. Although he was working on perfecting it, wouldn't it be better to obtain the complete version directly from Grand Master Xuandu than to slowly perfect it himself?

At the very least, those secret techniques from the immortal realm could greatly enhance his combat power.

A great change is imminent, and one's cultivation level, secret techniques for killing, magical treasures and spiritual objects are all of paramount importance.

In the primordial universe, besides the "Fragment of the One Yuan Golden Elixir," another immortal technique is the "Turtle Spirit Immortal Technique: Heavenly Immortal Chapter," which was accidentally passed down by the Holy Mother Turtle Spirit.

That was also a great help to Cao Ya.

Therefore, Cao Ya remembered this kindness, which is related to the Holy Mother Guiling.

However, he cannot change the fate of the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit at present.

The Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit was already at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, no less than General Zhenwu, while his overall strength was roughly between the initial and intermediate Golden Immortal levels, not even as good as the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit. How could he possibly save her?

We can only enlighten her after the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit is reincarnated.

"If only I could become a disciple of the Taiqing Sect Master, how wonderful that would be!" Marshal Tianpeng sighed.

"Don't even dream about it. After the Taiqing Sect Master became a saint, countless beings have longed to become his disciples for billions of years, but in the end, only one Grand Master Xuandu passed the saint's test. Do you think you can compare to Grand Master Xuandu?" General Heisha poured cold water on his hopes.

The three sages are Taiqing Jiaozhu, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu.

In the primordial universe, there are no mentions of the Supreme Lord of the Pure Land or the Lord of the Heavenly Treasures.

Different universes and spaces are inherently different.

For example, the Buddha Tathagata of Mount Ling in the Western Paradise was originally a prince in the mortal world who attained enlightenment. He sought the Dao from two Buddhist saints and eventually attained the Dao fruit of the Primordial Saint, founded Mahayana Buddhism, established the Great Thunder Temple on Mount Ling in the Western Paradise, and became a powerful figure in the Three Realms.

However, he had absolutely no connection with Duobao Daoren of the Jie Sect.

Daoist Duobao is said to be a powerful expert of the Great Luo realm. Although he is extremely strong, there is still a vast distance between him and a Primordial Saint.

The primordial universe—a phrase that has been widely circulated:

Below the level of a sage, all are but ants!

"Man proposes, God disposes; nothing is impossible. Even the most virtuous can escape the cycle of fate." General Zhenwu opened his eyes at some point and said calmly.

Jin Chanzi clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist mantra, and said:

"General Zhenwu's words are very reasonable. You should know that there is always a way out. Marshal Tianpeng is already a Golden Immortal. If he goes a step further and becomes a Great Luo Immortal, he may be able to become a disciple of the Taiqing Sect Master."

Jin Chanzi was the second disciple of the Buddha, also known as the disciple of the Primordial Saint.

Putting aside his powerful background, his cultivation level has also reached the Great Luo realm. Perhaps he cannot compare to Grand Master Xuandu, but among all the immortals present, besides the Queen Mother of the West and Grand Master Xuandu, who can compare to Jin Chanzi?

Marshal Tianpeng laughed heartily, not taking it seriously at all.

I was just feeling envious, hence this comment.

He kept his distance from the Taiqing Sect Leader's assessment.

Cao Ya smiled to himself. Perhaps the future Marshal Tianpeng could truly catch the eye of the Taiqing Sect Leader and become an unofficial disciple.

Subsequently, one after another, immortals, gods, demons, Buddhas, and ghosts arrived at Yaochi.

Yes, many powerful demons have also arrived.

In the universe, there are countless paths of cultivation, such as the Immortal Path, the Buddhist Path, the Demon Path, the Divine Path, the Monster Path, and the Ghost Path, each with its own powerful figures at the level of Primordial Saints, who suppress a profound foundation.

The path of immortality is one of carefree freedom. Many independent cultivators under the tutelage of the sages of the three religions follow this path, free from constraints and entanglements, unless bound by karmic ties.

Buddhism and Taoism were founded by the two saints, Amitabha Buddha and Cundi Buddha, and later supplemented by Tathagata Buddha. The three great saints of Hunyuan laid the foundation for the prosperity of Buddhism.

However, due to ideological conflicts, there are also debates within Buddhism.

Within Mahayana Buddhism, founded by the Buddha, there are many lineages that look down on each other.

The divine path belongs to the Heavenly Court, and is conferred titles by the Jade Emperor or the Queen Mother of the West. Because they have received the decree of the Heavenly Dao and the authority of Heaven, they can confer titles upon deities.

The advantage of the divine path is that it does not require cultivation. As long as one obtains a divine position, one will immediately become immortal and possess great power. Furthermore, the power of incense offerings can help one comprehend the laws of the Great Dao. However, there are also drawbacks. One must fulfill the duties of a divine position without being lazy. One must be diligent and conscientious for hundreds of millions of years, which is extremely torturous.

However, failing to fulfill one's duties is also a problem, and under the Heavenly Laws, one might very well face the execution platform.

With the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun above, who dares to disobey the Heavenly Laws?

That's why powerful immortals and Buddhas with deep backgrounds look down on divine positions.

Those who became gods through the Investiture of the Gods were even more frustrated, because their bodies and souls were completely destroyed, leaving only a trace of their true spirit. They were not even comparable to normal gods and could not improve their cultivation. Whatever their strength was in life, they would remain that strength for countless years to come.

The Demonic Path was founded by the Demon Ancestor and once contended with the Heavenly Dao, Hongjun, but was defeated by a single move.

However, the madness of the demonic path, while having hidden dangers, also has its advantages; otherwise, how could the demonic path influence billions of time-space interfaces?

The Ghost Path was created by Houtu Niangniang after perfecting the Ghost Realm. It is a unique path of soul cultivation, quite different from the previous Witchcraft Path.

The Demon Path is a path that existed since the beginning of time. It reached its peak during the era when the ancient Demon Court ruled the sky, but like the Witch Path, it declined after billions of years of war between the Witch and Demon Paths, with the Witch Clan seemingly suffering an even worse fate.

Because of the existence of Nuwa, the demon race can still exist in the three realms and roam the universe.

Houtu Niangniang was restricted and unable to leave the ghost realm.

As the Peach Banquet, which takes place only once every million years, the Demonic Path might have many reservations, but how could the Queen Mother of the West not invite the powerful figures from the Immortal Path, Buddhist Path, Divine Path, Ghost Path, and Demon Path?
