Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses-Chapter 565 - 560: The Primordial Era, Primordial Chaos Body

During the long years of cultivation within the Daoist Field of the Beginningless, Lv Xian, Chen Chuan, and others would fantasize about traversing the Human World, and they too wanted to forge a resounding reputation like Li Ya.

They felt grateful towards Gu An in their hearts, thinking that he should not be forgotten by the people; if Gu An did not want to come into the limelight, then as his disciples, it was their duty to help their master propagate his holy name.

Everyone looked at Gu An with fervent gazes, waiting for him to confirm the name of their sect.

Gu An pondered and said, "Let’s take the name of the dojo for our own—for we shall be called the Beginningless. We have no sect, no door, no clan nor path, ’Beginningless’ implies no start and hence is the realm of eternity. I will chase after the realm of eternal immortality, and I hope that you will uphold my will and eventually break free from the shackles of the Three Thousand Great Dao to become true Carefree Immortals."

Upon hearing this, everyone was ignited with excitement, praising the name one after another.

"Beginningless is excellent indeed! From now on, I shall introduce myself thus—’I am Beginningless Lv Xian!’ Sounds dominant already!"

"Hahaha, I also think it’s good. Adding ’sect’ or ’gate’ would have been rather trite."

"Perhaps many years from now, the Beginningless will become the most mysterious place in the Great Thousand World, with countless people yearning to pursue it, yet unable to find the way."

"Fantastic, now that the name of our force is set, I’m even more motivated. From now on, I’ll fight for the Beginningless!"

Listening to the discussions of his disciples, Gu An shook his head with a wry smile, and without saying more, turned and left.

Millennia passed, and the disciples exchanged knowledge with one another—they had already learned how to use Dao treasures and also understood Gu An’s attitude towards them, that they would not be misused.

Once Gu An had left, everyone became even bolder.

Chen Chuan excitedly asked, "Tell me, is my Reincarnation Dao-slaying Sword more powerful, or is Elder Li’s Nine Extremes Sacred Heart Sword stronger?"

An Xin gave him a look and said, "Don’t think about such questions; we should show Elder Li respect."

Lv Xian snorted, "What’s wrong with being stronger than him? Respect is kept in the heart. Who knows, he might one day depend on us for rescue. I think Dao treasures are stronger than Immortal Path Ultimate Treasures. If you can comprehend the Great Dao within a Dao Treasure, you should be able to feel its vast Dao Intent. Our Beginningless Dao treasures will surely be the most powerful magical treasures."

After hearing this, An Xin looked at the Six Paths Mirror in her hand with a smile on her face.

Seeing her not keeping a stern face, the others also smiled and actively discussed the power of the Dao treasures.

Though An Xin was of the same generation as them, she had unconsciously established great prestige, and everyone knew Gu An doted on her the most. Even Shen Zhen would not act too wilfully in front of An Xin.

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera stood at the back of the crowd with a fiery heart.

Although she had not obtained a Dao Treasure, she felt this was as it should be, given she was not Gu An’s disciple and had entered the Daoist Field of the Beginningless as a prisoner. Discover stories at novelbuddy

Gu An summoning her was clearly a signal.

She wanted a Dao Treasure too!

"Perhaps I shouldn’t be methodically completing my tasks. I should be more proactive. The master likes to pick medicinal herbs—why not find a way to increase the production of medicinal herbs?"

The Ghost Mother of Ephemera thought so as she looked at the people around her.

...

In the reshaped Great Thousand World that had seen ten thousand years pass, the Human World had taken on a new appearance. The Holy Court had completely dissolved, and now the War of Thousand Sects was raging, with no sect showing the dominance to unify the world, for the heavens and earth had become more vast than before.

Despite the multitude of sects, this period had gained a unified definition.

The Primordial Era!

A new Great Thousand World was established, where the heavens met the earth and all things bloomed anew—such a time was known as the Primordial, the beginning of everything.

The sects that had survived the previous Era and made it to the Primordial Era had all become Overlord Level forces.

The Supreme Sect was one such power!

Now, the Supreme Sect dominated the Seven Seas and the Three Continents, its influence surpassing even that of the Seven-Star Spirit Realm and the Star Sea Congregations of old times!

In the Third Medicine Valley, which ten thousand years later still held its esteemed position because the Sect Leader resided in this Medicine Valley.

Inside a bamboo forest in the valley, Long Qing, wearing a loose white robe, sat cross-legged on the ground. With unruly hair, he had left his youthful features behind, becoming more composed and unfathomable, looking like a true enlightened being amid the forest.

A figure appeared out of nowhere before him—it was Candle Star from the Battle Court.

"This reshaped Great Thousand World seems less like it has been reconstructed, and more like reborn. Many Heaven and Earth Ultimate Treasures have emerged between the heavens and earth. Over the years, I have fought over them as well. I didn’t expect to encounter the blockade of Profound Yuan Free Immortal; those old undying beings hidden in the depths of the universe have all returned."

Candle Star sighed, "Clashing swords with Profound Yuan Free Immortal made me fully realize that this world has truly become a part of the Great Thousand World. Just like the other vast worlds I’ve been to, there’s always trouble brewing."

Long Qing didn’t open his eyes and said calmly, "What’s wrong, have you lost confidence in uniting Tian Yi and replacing the Battle Court?"

Candle Star chuckled, "How could that be? I’ve already seized that ultimate treasure. I’m currently brewing the body refinement medicinal broth. In at most a hundred years, Long Teng will be able to cultivate the Primordial Chaos Physique. The legends of the Primordial Era are not to be taken lightly; every major world will go through such a period."

The Long Teng he spoke of was Long Qing’s son, Long Teng.

Long Teng had taken Candle Star as his master, and Candle Star was extremely dedicated to cultivating Long Teng. Their relationship as teacher and pupil was even closer than that of father and son.

Long Qing was not pleased to hear this.

Since Long Jun had appeared, Candle Star had clearly started to treat Long Qing as though he were dead and thus focused his cultivation efforts on Long Qing’s son.

Candle Star discerned Long Qing’s upset mood, which he thought was caused by the fate he carried. He thus tried to comfort him, "Long Jun has been gone for thousands of years. Both the Battle Court and the Silent Destruction God Emperor have yet to emerge. Perhaps your destiny has changed."

Candle Star still shuddered at the memory of the great war from ten thousand years ago.

Such a mighty Celestial Spirit God was exterminated so easily. He had not seen Gu An’s true form, but he guessed that the person was the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable.

Not just him, most of the beings at the level of Free Immortals and those in the Dao Fruit Realm made the same guess, contributing to the rise of the Supreme Sect.

Now, the Supreme Sect already had several Divine Thought True Immortals under Candle Star’s manipulation. Aside from those elders who had karmic ties with Gu An, the Elder Hall had undergone a complete change of blood.

With Long Qing out of sight, Candle Star held the greatest power in the Supreme Sect.

Most of the current disciples of the Supreme Sect were born in the Primordial Era, so they didn’t see Candle Star as an outsider. When they joined the sect, Candle Star was already the strongest in the Supreme Sect, and to this day, all disciples look up to him.

As for the Supporting Dao Sword Venerable, that had become an ethereal legend. But with the existence of the Heaven-Repairing Platform, no one doubted the veracity of this tale.

Hearing that destiny might have changed, Long Qing opened his eyes. He looked at Candle Star and asked, "If the Great Thousand World were to develop to its peak, could it confront the Battle Court?"

Candle Star pondered, "The Battle Court controls several Great Thousand Worlds and has risen above them. Of course, the potential of the Great Thousand World is limitless. Some powerful Great Thousand Worlds are even territories the Battle Court dares not tread."

"Are there really such Great Thousand Worlds?"

Long Qing asked with raised eyebrows. Having recovered the memories of his past life, he knew well the might of the Battle Court. However, he had been born in this universe in his past life and was not familiar with other Great Thousand Worlds.

"Of course. Hongmeng, Nine Extremes, Taishi, Taiqing, Taiwei — these five Great Thousand Worlds are places the Battle Court dares not overstep. Although I haven’t been to them, the Lord of the War Court is extremely wary of these worlds. Moreover, besides the Great Thousand Worlds, there are other planes of existence. They may not exist according to world rules, but they too have nurtured incredibly potent forces."

Candle Star paused and said with heavy emphasis, "Although the Battle Court is strong, it is far from the strongest. As long as you maintain hope, your limits will certainly surpass theirs. I’ve always felt that the Long Clan is at the core of the Battle Court. Sooner or later, the Long Clan will surpass the Battle Court and reclaim its power."

Upon hearing this, Long Qing’s eyes lit up with spirit.

Just then, a woman appeared out of thin air beside them.

"Father, Ye Cang has returned, seeking justice for his father. He wields an Immortal Path Ultimate Treasure and has already penetrated the First Sea Domain. He might arrive at Tai Cang Continent today."

The woman was Long Qing’s daughter, Long Ya, and her expression was complex when she mentioned Ye Cang.

Long Qing said pensively, "In the end, he has grown up. Nine thousand years ago, I felt his Destiny Pattern was extraordinary."

Candle Star, however, said dismissively, "What does having an extraordinary Destiny Pattern matter? He shouldn’t have trampled on the face of the Supreme Sect. Personal grudges could be discussed privately. Let him come. I’ll make him understand that even with his exceptional talent, nine thousand years of cultivation is far from enough to shake the foundation of the Supreme Sect."

Long Qing hesitated for a moment and then said, "Don’t harm his life, after all, he was once my disciple. Some misunderstandings, I think, should be discussed face-to-face."

With a huff, Candle Star vanished on the spot.

Once he had gone, Long Ya let out a sigh of relief. She came up to Long Qing and whispered, "Father, I’ve heard that Ye Cang has cultivated the Primordial Chaos Body, astonishing the heavens and startling the ghosts. Even the Saintess of the Guangyuan Saint Sect admires him. Not only is his cultivation level formidable, but he also has a powerful backing now."

Long Qing glanced at her and retorted, "So what, what’s your point?"

Long Ya glared and said, "What point can I have? I’m only reminding you that I did let him down, but you were the one who truly pushed him away from the Supreme Sect. You cared too much for the Supreme Sect, causing your disciple to suffer."

With that, Long Ya stomped away.

Long Qing wasn’t angry. He looked up slightly towards the bamboo forest above and murmured, "Master, faced with such a dilemma, what would you choose?"

He had taken on many disciples over ten thousand years, but as the Sect Leader, he always considered the disciples of the Supreme Sect more, hoping his own disciples could bear more since they had enjoyed more of the Supreme Sect’s resources.

The return of Ye Cang did not alarm Long Qing; it merely made him miss his master.
