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

Taibai transmigrated into the primordial world, becoming the first innate Geng metal essence in existence. He initially planned to cultivate peacefully among the stars, but due to several tremors, he unexpectedly fell into the Kunlun Mountains. By sheer coincidence, he encountered the Three Pure Ones returning from listening to the Dao. As a transmigrator, Taibai already foresaw the Three Pure Ones' fate: the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect faced peril, the Immortals of the Jie Sect were doomed, and the Three Pure Ones ultimately suffered internal strife, their lineage declining. Taibai initially intended to transform and travel west, but the Three Pure Ones were too "enthusiastic," forcing him to become their disciple. Furthermore, his Geng metal essence was too strong, causing an imbalance in the Five Elements. Therefore, to balance the Five Elements and for his own future, Taibai had to "actively" leave the mountains and cause trouble. Using his foresight, he simultaneously sought opportunities and accumulated merit while utilizing the resources of the Three Teachings for cultivation. Unbeknownst to him, he had become the most outstanding junior in the eyes of many powerful beings, earning countless accolades. Lao Tzu: "Non-action is doing everything; Taibai has truly received my personal instruction." Yuanshi: "Among the three teachings, only Taibai is worthy of great responsibility." Tongtian: "Only Taibai can inherit the mantle of the Jie Sect." Haotian: "In the entire primordial world, only my nephew Taibai loves me!" Jieyin: "Taibai, the essence of Geng metal, was originally meant to be my disciple!" Zhunti: "Young friend Taibai, I believe you and my senior brother are destined to meet. I wonder if you would be willing..." Styx: "Taibai is a despicable, shameless, and vile villain!" ...All of this began when Taibai was forced to become a disciple...
