Chapter 1, Please Borrow the Treasure.

Wudang then asked: "Junior brother, where are you going?"

After Bai Jin entered, he maintained a serious demeanor without a hint of a smile. He knelt before the mat, observed the proper etiquette, and performed three bows, saying: "Disciple Bai Jin pays respects to the Master Uncle and wishes him an early realization of the sacred path"

Bai Jin straightened up, scratched his head, and said with a simple smile: "Senior Sister, I believe that a gentleman has nothing to hide from others, and besides, everyone on the mountain is familiar, so there is no problem."

The Supreme One said with a smile, "Go ahead and speak."

Duobao angrily said: "Absurd, we are honored to be valued by our esteemed master and accepted as disciples, and it is only right that we should strive diligently in our cultivation, so that we may serve our master in the future"

Wudang helplessly said: "Junior brother, why haven't you closed the door again?"

The Supreme One said: "It is indeed quite dangerous to venture out now." With a wave of his hand, a Tai Chi diagram hanging on the wall shot down and hovered in front of Bai Jin, saying: "This is for your protection."

Stepping out of the palace gates, Bai Jin transformed into a beam of blue light that shot forth, traversing the skies above the mountains, and landing before the Yuqing Palace. He bent at a ninety-degree angle, performed a bow, and said: "Disciple pays respects to the two masters."

Thank you, junior brother

Bai Jin solemnly stated: "The way of heaven is beneficial yet does not harm; the way of the sage is to act yet does not contend"

The Original Celestial Master seated in the high position slightly nodded and inquired: "What is holiness?"

The young man suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp light flashing through them, and the waterfall was severed with a loud crash.

Pangu opened the heavens and shattered the primordial chaos, separating the pure from the turbid, revealing the universe. In the beginning, as the heavens and the earth were formed, all things were vast and unrefined. First came the dragon and phoenix, stirring the primordial wilderness, followed by Hongjun imparting the Dao to the three thousand.

He is doing well, visiting his master and senior every day to pay his respects. With this, how can he have the mind to cultivate? With such a mindset, he will surely fall into the path of demonic cultivation sooner or later

The young man named Bai Jin is a celestial white crane that has attained enlightenment. In his previous life, he was an exceedingly ordinary person. As a result, he woke up one day and, without any pain, humanely traversed to the primordial chaos. Initially, he was resistant to this change, but upon learning that he could become an immortal and a progenitor, he was filled with ecstatic joy. However, when he discovered that his master was the renowned Tongtian Jiao Zhu, he was completely stunned. Tongtian Jiao Zhu? The one who had no friends and ended up causing his own family to be destroyed in a tragic manner? But upon realizing he could become an immortal and a progenitor, he was filled with ecstatic joy again. Yet, when he learned that his master was the illustrious Tongtian Jiao Zhu, he was once more left in shock. Tongtian Jiao Zhu? The one who had no friends and caused his own family to be destroyed in a tragic manner? Wasn't his future rather bleak? Moreover, the most important thing was that he was merely an outer disciple.

Thank you, Master Uncle

It is a pity that you are merely a white crane, and your future achievements are destined to be limited

Duobao took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and said: "Enough! I do not wish to concern myself with him; after all, he is merely an outer sect disciple. Let him do as he pleases. Junior sister, let us engage in discussion!"

The Supreme One inquired: "Bai Jin, is there anything else?"

Alright ~ I will take good care of the senior sister

The Holy Mother said: "Go and pay respects to the two masters."

Bai Jin said calmly: "I do not know either, but I can see it in my master."

Put down the pen, and some mysterious symbols appear on the white paper. This is called a "fuzi," which can also be referred to as "fuzhuan," the script used for communication between immortals and deities

The palace gate creaked open, and Bai Jin stepped into the palace. Upon entering the main hall, he saw an elderly Taoist priest sitting cross-legged above.

Bai Jin looked at the talisman and recited: "Guide to Self-Rescue in the Primordial Era, the first step is also the most important step, to please the two masters. The first master is as gentle as water, so one must appear calm and transcendent in front of him. The second master values propriety and virtue, so one must behave in a disciplined and compliant manner in front of him"

Bai Jin respectfully said: "I do not seek to make a name for myself in the vast wilderness, nor do I desire the power to destroy heaven and earth; I only wish to serve by the side of my master and the two esteemed uncles, and that alone would be enough for me"

A look of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Original Heavenly Sovereign, who said: "Very good!" Then, with a hint of regret, he added: "What a pity, what a pity~"

"Come in!" A commanding voice echoed as the palace doors creaked open

Upon learning that he is a disciple of the Heavenly Master, Bai Jin realized that his master was unreliable. Over the years of traversing through time, he secretly devised his own plan for self-rescue. Although the War of the Gods is still a long way off, Bai Jin has already sensed a strong feeling of crisis.

A voice filled with the weight of time emanated from within the grand hall: "Come in!"

Bai Jin ran down the mountain

The Holy Mother Wudang said with a smile: "Brother Duobao, your sword intent has become even more refined."

Duobao's expression turned cold as he said: "Is he a disciple of the master or a disciple of the two uncles? If he is so eager, why not pay his respects to the two uncles?"

He solemnly put away the booklet, walked towards the outside, and with a creak, opened the main hall door, stepping directly outside

At this moment, in a side hall on the edge of the Upper Clear Palace, a young man with a simple and honest appearance is writing and drawing in a small booklet.

Taiji Diagram? ! Bai Jin, filled with excitement, hurriedly bowed deeply and expressed his gratitude, saying "Thank you, Master Uncle!"

With a sense of helplessness, he said: "You! You are a gentleman, but others may not be. The master will still accept other disciples in the future, and this is not good for you." With a casual wave, the door slammed shut with a loud bang

Bai Jin stood up, holding the Taiji diagram, and walked briskly outside with a sincere smile. Indeed, ingratiating oneself with the esteemed master is a means of self-preservation

The Supreme One kindly asked: "How can one achieve the sacred path?"

In the primordial chaos, there exists a divine mountain known as Kunlun Mountain. The Kunlun Mountain range stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles and features three main peaks. Atop each main peak stands a magnificent palace. The plaque of the central peak's palace bears the three large characters "Taiqing Palace". The left peak's temple is inscribed with the three large characters "Yuqing Palace", while the right peak's temple displays the three large characters "Shangqing Palace".

Go! Go!

Clenching his fist, he said: "Bai Jin, keep it up, you can do it"

In the past, this question-and-answer exchange would have concluded, and Bai Jin would have taken her leave. However, today Bai Jin is kneeling on the mat, fidgeting awkwardly.

Bai Jin asked: "What does Master Uncle regret?"

Without hesitation, he continued to walk forward and arrived at a picturesque location where a thundering waterfall cascaded down, stirring up flurries of snowflakes in the cold pool below. A tall and imposing young man was sitting beside the waterfall, eyes closed in contemplation.

Bai Jin hurriedly said: "Respected Master Uncle, I plan to venture out of the mountain. As you know, the battle between the necromancers and the wizards is in full swing outside. I fear that if I go out, I might be captured by the witch clan and turned into their dinner, so I would like to request a protective treasure."

After walking just a few steps, I saw a graceful and elegant woman slowly approaching along the mountain path

The Holy Mother of No Way frowned slightly and said, "Senior Brother, your words are too heavy."

The Holy Mother nodded and said, "Alright!" A subtle aura of Dao pervaded around her.

Bai Jin approached the mat, knelt on it, and bowed three times with a loud thud, saying: "Disciple pays respects to the Master Uncle and wishes Master Father an early realization of the sacred path"

A beam of blue light fell before the Taiqing Palace on the central peak, transforming upon landing into the appearance of white brocade

Bai Jin tidied up his clothes, bowed at a ninety-degree angle, and said: "Disciple Bai Jin pays respects to Master Uncle!"

Bai Jin quickly performed a bow and said: "I have met with you, Senior Sister Wudang."

Bai Jin, with a serious demeanor, said: "The way of Heaven is orderly in its clarity and turbidity; the way of the sage is to follow Heaven and comply with its mandate"

Duobao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Has that Bai Jin run out again?"

Wudang nodded with a smile and said, "Go ahead!"

The Supreme One was taken aback for a moment, pondering internally, and then said with a smile: "Very well, you are absolutely right."

Bai Jin nodded repeatedly in gratitude and said: "Thank you, senior sister, for your guidance"

Bai Jin said: "Go and pay respects to the two masters."

The Holy Mother of No Equal clasped her hands in a salute and said: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your guidance"

The Holy Mother of No-Action sat down in front of a piece of blue stone and said, "He will not neglect to pay his respects to the master either"

Duobao said: "Cultivation is inherently like this; only through vigorous and diligent effort can one step onto the path of the Great Way. Junior sister, you must not be negligent either"
