Chapter 2, The First Disciple of the Mystical Sect

Having spoken, the two individuals passed each other by

Come in

A look of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, "You have only recently entered my tutelage, and to possess such insights is already remarkable. However, merely cultivating oneself and one's mind is not enough; you must also cultivate your nature, your destiny, and your fortune! These are for you to comprehend gradually."

The silver-white waterfall, resembling the Milky Way turned upside down, suddenly split into two halves!

It is not very appropriate to compare yourself to an ant

Chi Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her lips

After walking just a few steps, I saw a young Daoist with a refined appearance emerge from a side hall. He was dressed in a blue robe with red patterns, looking as elegant as jade

In contrast, Guang Chengzi wields a sword in each hand, one black and one white, while Chijingzi possesses only a short sword that is red and blue in color

Lin An continued walking towards the center of the three palaces, the Yuqing Palace, while Chijing Zizi soared into the air, arriving in the blink of an eye at the picturesque Qilin Cliff.

A solemn voice resounded, and the gate of the Jade Void Palace creaked open with a "squeak".

Chi Jing exclaimed in admiration, "Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, your sword intent has become even more formidable."

Lin An shook his head slightly and said, "The spiritual treasures bestowed upon you by the Master are not to be used in this manner"

Although he had already attained the Dao of a true immortal after transforming, able to teleport thousands of miles with a mere thought, he had stood on Qilin Cliff in the form of an immortal apricot for countless years. Now, he greatly enjoys the feeling of walking steadily on the ground.

... ...

The disciple remembers with utmost respect

Cultivate oneself, cultivate the mind

The handsome young man is Lin An, and the four characters he wrote, from left to right, are: "Xuan", "Men", "Shou", "Tu"

A single character "thunder" can summon the might of a thousand bolts; a single character "spring" can invigorate all living beings; a single character "drought" can turn the land into a barren expanse...

The Three Pure Ones are destined to attain sanctity; how can one surpass them

In my opinion, he is likely afraid that if he loses to you and me, he will not be able to maintain the dignity of being the foremost disciple of the mysterious sect

What does it mean

Senior Brother Guangchengzi invited me to the foot of Qilin Cliff for a discussion and exchange of ideas

Wrong

Lin An shook his head, "I still need to pay my respects to my master."

Disciples are the same; since they have already grasped the profoundness of cultivation, they naturally must continue their practice.

Lin Anxin felt a stir within; her master indeed placed great importance on the foundation.

Xuan Cheng is the Daoist name of Lin An, bestowed by the Primordial Supreme Being

Guang Chengzi let out a "hey" and smiled, saying: "We are fortunate to be valued by our esteemed master and to be included on the wall of the sect. We should diligently cultivate our skills so that we can later bring glory to our master's name! Yet, he is quite the opposite, visiting the master daily to pay his respects, but he refuses to engage with us in discussions and exchanges of ideas...

When the crimson essence | child fell beside him, the young man suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his gaze transformed into a sharp beam of sword light that flashed by

A brilliant divine light suddenly spread out from beneath Qilin Cliff

Chi Jing | Zi Xiao said: "He has only just transformed, so naturally he is not our opponent... This shows that he has some self-awareness."

Guang Chengzi nodded and smiled, saying: "Fine, as long as he doesn't use the first disciple of the Xuanmen to pressure me, I have no desire to bother with him! He can do as he pleases. Junior brother, let us spar!"

The two individuals had already noticed Lin An's arrival, yet they did not cease their actions; instead, they fought even more fiercely, seemingly intent on showcasing something.

In the primordial era, these celestial texts were also used as tools for recording and communication

Lin An entered the palace with a solemn expression and respectfully bowed three times to the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, who was seated on the mat, saying, "Disciple pays respects to the Master, wishing the Master to attain the sacred path soon"

Good

At this point, Chi Jing paused, his gaze flickering, "Senior brother, would you be willing to go together?"

Lin An nodded in response: "Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

On Qilin Cliff, in front of the Jade and Harmony Library's empty palace

Gazing at the four characters "First Disciple of the Profound Gate" on the pure white beast skin scroll, Lin An appeared to be deep in thought

Lin An did not hold it against him, smiling as he asked, "Junior Brother, where are you going?"

Dual swords of male and female, the edge of water and fire

Strive diligently in practice, advance courageously against the current, enhance the family reputation, with the goal of surpassing the master

Lin An performed a bow and, after exiting the Jade Void Palace, walked step by step down the stone steps to the base of Qilin Cliff

Lin An casually glanced over and saw that both of them were holding swords in their hands

As time flows on, in addition to the Eight Scenic Palace, the Jade Void Palace, and the Azure Escape Palace on the Qilin Cliff of Kunlun Mountain, three more side halls have been added

As the foremost disciple of the Xuanmen, one must first establish good relations with the master, senior uncles, and uncles, preferably avoiding any future divisions among them, thus securing the strongest backing in the Honghuang; secondly, as the foremost disciple of the Xuanmen, one's words and actions must not tarnish the prestige of the Xuanmen

At this moment, Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi were engaged in a fierce battle, with every gesture and movement summoning fierce winds and splitting waterfalls.

Gazing at the four celestial characters on the animal hide, Lin Anxin's thoughts began to flourish.

After transforming, Lin An struck the golden bell and the jade incense, officially becoming the first true disciple under the seat of Yuqing Yuanshi

In a side hall near the Yuqing Palace, a handsome young man dressed in a light green Daoist robe is vigorously wielding a brush, inscribing four mysterious symbols on a large piece of plain white animal skin

Lin An tidied up his robe, bowed towards the palace gate, and said, "Disciple Xuan Cheng pays respects to the Master."

A young man with a resolute expression is sitting beside the waterfall, eyes closed in contemplation of the Dao

Indeed, he is now the foremost disciple of the Xuanmen sect

What is the most important thing for the foremost disciple of the Xuanmen sect

This symbol is called Xianwen, which is said to have been created by the Daoist ancestor. Each Xianwen possesses incredible power.

The Primordial Heavenly Sovereign nodded slightly and said, "Let it be so for today. As the foremost disciple of the Xuanmen, you must not only focus on your own cultivation but also take care of the training of your fellow disciples. You should first go and guide them a bit."

Chi Jing shook his head, "He made an excuse to go pay respects to the Master."

Even the lowly ants have a yearning for the heart of the sky; since the disciple has gained the esteem of the master and is included beneath the gate of the sect, how dare one not devote oneself wholeheartedly to cultivation

Red Essence | The child has met Senior Brother Xuan Cheng

Then I will not disturb you, Senior Brother

This is written for himself

Lin An slightly nodded, noticing that his gesture of respect was somewhat reluctant

Guang Chengzi smiled faintly and asked, "Has Brother Xuan Cheng not arrived?"

He quickly nodded and said, "Master's teachings are well noted by the disciple"

Chi Jing responded with a sound.

The Primordial Supreme Being nodded slightly, "You have arrived just in time, let us continue yesterday's question—what is cultivation?"

Originally, Chi Jing and Zi He Guang Cheng Zi were the first to reach the summit, and the position of the foremost disciple of the Xuanmen should have been a competition between the two of them. However, Lin An happened to undergo transformation at that time, which could be seen as seizing their opportunity, so it is quite normal for them to feel some resentment.

A glimmer of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, "Even the lowly ants possess a heart that yearns for the sky... This statement is quite profound! However, ants are ultimately ants; even if by chance they soar into the heavens, they will inevitably fall back to the mortal realm once again

With great solemnity, Zheng Zhong carefully rolled up the animal skin scroll and Lin An strolled towards the outside

Although Daoist Patriarch Hongjun established the system of cultivation and taught the teachings to three thousand disciples, he only accepted three true disciples: Ta Qing Laozu, Yu Qing Yuanshi, and Shang Qing Tongtian

The towering waterfall cascades down with a thunderous roar, stirring up waves in the cold pool below.

The sound of clapping or slapping

Upon seeing Lin An, he paused slightly before bowing and saying

The Primordial Supreme Being slightly nodded and inquired: "What is the reason for cultivation?"

Cultivate an indestructible body; cultivate an unwavering heart.

Lin An pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "I have heard that ants are born to walk with their heads down. If an ant, by chance, raises its head and sees the vast sky, would it still be willing to walk with its head down for the rest of its life?"
