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

Chapter 151: Jin'ao Island Again

Taibai looked solemn and took out a jade slip, handing it to Xiao Hei. The slip contained the essence of the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique and many methods for cultivating the laws.

"You can study the key points of cultivation here; it will make your efforts twice as effective. Remember to cultivate diligently without ceasing. I will handle the matter of the Jie Sect myself."

Xiao Hei respectfully accepted the jade slip, immediately sensing the flow of Daoist energy within it, and promptly bowed deeply.

"Thank you for bestowing this method upon me, sir. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

After Xiao Hei left, Tai Bai did not rush to set off.

He stood still, his eyes slightly closed, his right hand raised to calculate the secrets of heaven and deduce the affairs of the disciples of the Jie Sect.

Unexpectedly, this calculation shocked him: the number of disciples under the Jie Sect had exceeded eight thousand and was still increasing.

Even worse, many outer disciples, relying on the Shangqing Immortal Techniques, acted recklessly throughout the prehistoric world, plundering resources, bullying rogue cultivators, and accumulating a great deal of negative karma.

However, Tongtian Shengren, as the leader of the sect, adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards this matter, rarely restraining it and almost ignoring it.

After completing his calculations, Taibai knew the situation was urgent.

Without further delay, he flashed and transformed into a streak of light, flying straight towards Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea.

On this trip, he must find a way to change the status quo, at least by recording the disciples who are burdened with karma.

If the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods were to eventually occur, he hoped to persuade the Sage of Heaven to send these disciples to the Investiture of the Gods list to prepare for the calamity.

Jin'ao Island is located in the East China Sea, not far from Wuyi Mountain.

With the cultivation of a perfect Taibai Daluo Golden Immortal, he flew in the escape light and arrived at the outer perimeter of Jin'ao Island in four days.

Just then, a large bell at Biyou Palace on the island rang out without wind, its magnificent sound resounding throughout the entire island.

As soon as the bell rang, celestial music filled the air, and rosy clouds appeared and disappeared. All the mythical birds and beasts on the island danced joyfully.

The gates of Biyou Palace opened wide, and the disciples of the Jie Sect, hearing the bell toll, gathered in droves towards Biyou Palace.

The bell tolled continuously for a total of 108 times, which was the highest welcoming ceremony at Biyou Palace, symbolizing the perfection of heaven and earth, and it was only rung when distinguished guests arrived.

Therefore, all the disciples of the Jie Sect on Jin'ao Island, no matter what they were doing, put down what they were doing and gathered in front of Biyou Palace.

All the disciples gathered in front of Biyou Palace, bowing and awaiting orders.

"You all come out of the island to welcome us. May I ask, teacher, is it your senior master who has arrived?"

Duobao knew that the one who could make the Biyou Bell ring 108 times must be a powerful being of the same generation as Tongtian. These powerful beings each had their own preferences, and their etiquette for welcoming guests was also particular.

Tongtian did not answer directly, but only said, "It's alright, you can go and greet them."

Duobao accepted the order, bowed to Tongtian, then turned and led his disciples out of Jin'ao Island to greet him in a procession.

As Taibai approached Jin'ao Island, he saw auspicious clouds swirling in the distance, celestial light soaring into the sky, and nearly a thousand disciples lined up in neat rows, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Knowing this was a welcoming ceremony arranged by the heavens, he dared not be negligent and hurried forward.

Duobao and the others scanned the area with their divine senses and realized that the newcomer was Taibai. They showed slight surprise on their faces, but continued their actions without stopping, flying forward a short distance again to show their respect.

Those disciples who later joined the Jie Sect and were still relatively inexperienced knew very little about Taibai's identity, and their eyes inevitably revealed a hint of confusion.

Seeing that the newcomer was only a Great Luo Golden Immortal, yet the entire Jie Sect had made such a grand display, they secretly murmured to themselves, somewhat disapproving.

But seeing that their senior brother, Daoist Duobao, and his disciples had all stepped forward, they dared not be negligent in the slightest and quickly followed behind.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

When Taibai flew close, the disciples, led by Duobao, bowed in unison, their voices echoing across the East Sea.

Taibai smiled gently and raised his hand in a gesture of support:

"Fellow disciples, there's no need for formalities. Please come with me to pay our respects to our teacher."

Set it as your homepage to get the latest updates on works such as "Primordial Era: Starting from Being Forced to Become an Apprentice of the Three Pure Ones" every day.

After saying this, surrounded by a crowd of admirers, he flew towards Biyou Palace.

While flying, Taibai appeared casual, but in reality, he had quietly spread his divine sense, carefully scanning the disciples of the Jie Sect around him.

As expected, many disciples had mixed auras and were shrouded in a bloody haze, which was a sign of karmic retribution.

In particular, the karmic burdens accumulated by Qiu Shou Xian, Jin Guang Xian, and several others have not only not diminished since their last meeting, but have actually deepened, clearly indicating that they have not restrained their behavior.

Taibai understood in his heart, but remained expressionless on his face.

He knew that for such arrogant and reckless people, the previous minor punishments were no longer effective.

He needed to hang an invisible sword over these people's heads to make them think twice and restrain their evil deeds, so as to prevent them from further damaging the reputation of the Jie Sect and harming the sect's fortune in the future.

In a short while, the group arrived in front of Biyou Palace.

Upon entering the magnificent palace, one sees the Sage of Heaven sitting upright on a cloud bed, exuding an innate Daoist aura.

The disciples dared not be negligent and bowed deeply, saying, "We pay our respects to our teacher!"

"Rise, all of you." The Sage of Tongtian's voice was calm, yet it possessed an inherent majesty.

After everyone stood up, Tongtian's gaze fell on Taibai, then swept over the many faces in the hall, and he spoke:

"Recently, there have been many new disciples in our sect, whom you may not recognize. This person is Taibai, your senior brother, and the future leader of our Jie Sect."

Many of the newly initiated disciples looked at each other and whispered among themselves.

They had been struggling at the bottom of the prehistoric world for a long time, and their knowledge was limited. They only knew that there were four major sects in the prehistoric world, and the senior brother of the Jie Sect was always Daoist Duobao. They never thought that there was another one.

The elders of the Jie Sect who knew of Taibai's existence rarely mentioned it.

Tongtian ignored the murmurs below, looked at Taibai, and his eyes revealed approval:

"It's been a long time. My disciple, your cultivation has improved so rapidly. It's truly gratifying."

But I wonder, what level have you reached in your study of the swordsmanship and formation techniques that I taught you in the past?

Taibai stepped forward and respectfully replied:

"This disciple dares not slack off. I have pondered the teachings of my teacher day and night and have gained some understanding. I would like to ask my teacher to examine and guide me."

Upon hearing this, Tongtian nodded with satisfaction.

For him, this only personally taught disciple was his greatest pride.

Today, we can take this opportunity to let Taibai show off his knowledge in front of his fellow disciples. This will not only establish his prestige but also allow the disciples to see what the orthodox Taoist teachings of Shangqing are.

He had already made up his mind, and looked at the crowd below with a smile.

Immediately, he waved his sleeve in the direction of Taibai, and the scene before Taibai's eyes changed instantly, placing him in another space.

In this world, there stood only a masked person, holding a sword in his hand, whose aura was also that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his realm.

Taibai understood immediately; Tongtian was testing his sword.

Without hesitation, Taibai summoned the Gengjin longsword and rushed straight towards the masked cultivator.

The two swords clashed, producing a resounding clang, and a sharp sword aura emanated from them, as if even the outside world could feel its all-splitting sharpness.

After a few moves, Taibai realized that his opponent's swordsmanship was in no way inferior to his own, and his sword intent was pure. For a time, it was difficult to determine who was better.

He abruptly stopped and retreated, trying to regain his rhythm.

The masked monk, however, showed no sign of yielding, his sword flashing like a shadow as he relentlessly pursued him.

Taibai's gaze sharpened, and in the blink of an eye, the Five Elements Law and the Devouring Law quietly flowed into the sword.

The Geng metal longsword trembled slightly, its inner radiance gleaming, and its aura suddenly increased.

The sword strike was unleashed again, but this time it was completely different.
