Chapter 156 Opening the Second Mystic Gate
These words immediately jolted Guang Chengzi awake.
The mentor that Yuanshi Tianzun mentioned was naturally Hongjun Daozu. Since Hongjun Daozu had actually noticed him and even wanted to personally entrust him with a task, how could he not be motivated?
Seeing Guang Chengzi so wary, Yuanshi Tianzun laughed and said, "You don't need to be so nervous. Although you are already a Tai Su Daluo, you are nothing more than this. Your master will naturally not teach you anything more difficult than the heavens."
This should be a blessing, a good thing. If it weren't for the fact that the other junior brothers and sisters, as well as the senior brother, hadn't not taken on any disciples, and that the disciples under their tutelage weren't particularly outstanding, it probably wouldn't have been our turn, master and disciple.
After listening to Yuanshi Tianzun's explanation, Guang Chengzi relaxed slightly and asked curiously, "May I ask what the matter is, Master?"
Yuanshi Tianzun did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Guangchengzi, let me ask you, what is the Xuanmen?"
Guang Chengzi pondered for a moment and said, "The Xuanmen was founded by our grandmaster Hongjun and is the place where the immortal path is spread. Its ancestral home is Yujing Mountain. As Yujing Mountain entered the chaos, it became Zixiao Palace."
"That's right, the Xuanmen is the Immortal Path, and the Immortal Path is the Xuanmen. I am the second disciple of the Xuanmen, and you are the second-generation disciple of the Xuanmen, as well as the senior brother of the Yuxu lineage."
At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression became slightly serious, and he said in a deep voice: "At the beginning of the creation of the world, Pangu's creation of the world was prevalent, and the three of us brothers also cultivated the creation of the world."
Only when Hongjun Daozu opens up the path to immortality can we turn to cultivate within it. But no matter how great a god is, almost all of them are Great Luo beings created by Pangu opening the heavens and earth, and so are we.
Therefore, the way of Pangu creating the world is called the way of gods and demons. You may not understand the fundamental principles of cultivation, but it is generally about using the pure and turbid energies to cultivate. So we are the Three Pure Ones, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches are the Turbid Demons.
It wasn't until Hongjun became an immortal and replaced Pangu in creating the heavens that we were transformed from the Great Luo of the Divine Path to the Great Luo of the Immortal Path. However, our path was already set, and nominally we still belonged to the Divine Path.
Therefore, you are probably the only true Grand Luo Immortal in the entire prehistoric world! You are the first Grand Luo Golden Immortal to achieve immortality under Hongjun, and even Hongjun Daozu is not as good as you!
Guang Chengzi understood immediately. He had been cultivating the Hongjun Immortal Path since birth, which is why he had gradually cultivated from the Xuanxian and Jinxian levels to become a Da Luo Immortal.
The Three Pure Ones, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Emperor Jun and Taiyi were all born as Great Luo Immortals, but Hongjun's path to immortality spread for only a few eons. So where did their Great Luo Immortal status come from?
Naturally, it originated from Pangu's creation of the heavens, which is also known as the Great Luo of the Divine Path.
Even Hongjun Daozu himself achieved the Great Luo status through the divine path, and only then did he establish his leadership from the end point back to the beginning, gradually building up the methods of immortality.
Although later, Hongjun Daozu and many other divine Dao Grand Luo cultivators switched to the Immortal Dao, they all switched from the divine path to the Immortal Dao, so their original imprint was unbreakable.
Does making cocoa beans into chocolate remove the branding from them?
It's still cocoa beans; that's the foundation, an unbreakable foundation.
However, Guang Chengzi had been cultivating the immortal path from the very beginning and had never come into contact with Pangu's creation of the world. He only absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and never absorbed the pure or impure energy.
Such a seed of immortality can be described as having the right roots and being a perfect seedling, equivalent to being born as chocolate, without any potential for cocoa beans.
It is likely that since Guang Chengzi rose to prominence, Dao Ancestor Hongjun has been keeping an eye on him.
Now that he has achieved the status of a Grand Luo Immortal, and a very pure one at that, as well as the first orthodox Grand Luo Immortal, many Primordial Golden Immortals or Quasi-Saints are probably paying attention to him.
But Guang Chengzi was somewhat confused. He was indeed important, but not so important that even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun had been paying attention to him all along.
Yuanshi Tianzun noticed Guang Chengzi's expression and explained, "You are currently the first and only orthodox Grand Luo Immortal, so there is one thing that only you can do, and even we cannot interfere with: to open the second Xuanmen!"
Even though Guang Chengzi was mentally prepared, he still felt a sense of dread after hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's words.
Opening the second Xuan Gate!
It should be known that in the primordial world, names also carry destiny and cannot be used casually. Names such as Di Jun, Tai Yi, Nuwa, and Fuxi are all true names of the Great Luo Immortals.
Whenever someone recites these names, they will feel a response in their hearts. However, if someone takes these names without permission, it will inevitably divert their fortune and immediately anger these great immortals.
Of course, these Great Luo Immortals aren't that petty. Just having the same name as them will provoke their retaliation. It's one thing for mortals, but if a great god deliberately chooses these names, then they can't help but make a big fuss.
If even the name of a Great Luo True Name has so many opportunities, let alone a name like that of a Xuanmen (mysterious sect).
In a sense, the two characters "玄门" (Xuanmen) represent the path of immortality!
The Mysterious Gate is the Immortal Path, and the Immortal Path is the Mysterious Gate. Therefore, Hongjun's path to immortality can also be called the Mysterious Gate Immortal Path.
Opening a second Xuanmen is equivalent to opening a second immortal path, which will inevitably cause a split in the original immortal path and create countless storms.
Nowadays, the Xuanmen Immortal Path has long replaced the Pangu Divine Path, and all those Great Luo Immortals of the Divine Path have turned to cultivating the Immortal Path. So in other words, whether it is the Heavenly Court or the Witch Clan, Nuwa or Jieyin, they are all part of the Xuanmen Immortal Path.
However, if Guang Chengzi were to open up a second path to immortality, causing a conflict between the Xuanmen and the immortal path, it would certainly provoke the wrath of these quasi-saints.
The thought of the primordial world being filled with hatred from all the gods sent chills down Guang Chengzi's spine.
I'm afraid even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun would have had to expend a great deal of effort to suppress it back then.
Seeing Guang Chengzi's expression change like a palette of colors, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately knew he had misunderstood again. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "This matter is not a decision I made alone. It was a joint decision made by Hongjun Daozu, my six great sage disciples, and all the great gods who have severed corpses. Only you are qualified to open the second Xuanmen, and not in the present prehistoric world, but in another prehistoric world!"
Another primordial wilderness?
Guang Chengzi wondered, could there be a second primordial world within this chaos?
It should be known that the primordial chaos gave birth to the chaos, the chaos gave birth to Pangu, and Pangu transformed into the primordial world—this is a fact known to all.
Now that the primordial world has long since merged most of the chaos into one, where would a second primordial world come from?
If any world truly defies your rule, simply send a few powerful beings to subdue it, just like the myriad realms and endless universes beneath the primordial world, all of which were conquered by numerous powerful beings.
Moreover, these Great Luo Immortals from the myriad universes also like to come to the Primordial World, since their world universes are too small, like a small puddle, completely devoid of life.
It would be better to enter the primordial world, discuss metaphysics with many Great Luo Immortals, and listen to Hongjun's Daoist teachings; there would still be room for improvement that way.
So why send him to open up the Xuanmen Immortal Path? Could it be that there is a power within this primordial world that rivals that of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun?
