From the Start, I Became a Jade Spirit and Went on a Rampage in the White Snake World

In his previous life, Yulin spent his days seeking the Dao, but never found the path to immortality. Grief-stricken, he leaped from a cliff and gave his life for the Dao! When he opened his eyes again, he discovered he hadn't died after all. Instead, he had been reborn into the prehistoric world after Journey to the West, as a piece of primordial jade! Buddhism's rise was beginning to wane, the Daoist sects were in decline, and the sages had withdrawn from the world. Beneath the surface, undercurrents stirred throughout the heavens and earth. All that remained in his mind was part of the inheritance of the Way of Yuqing Yuanshi, which he had collected in his previous life! “The Great Dao I could never reach in my previous life is finally within my grasp in this one?” In this life, Yulin is destined to cultivate the Yuqing tradition in the body of a piece of jade. In this turbulent prehistoric world, he will forge his own talisman, command primordial Dao energy, and attain the supreme fruit of the Dao! But before his cultivation can find a peaceful footing, he unexpectedly meets an innocent white snake and forms a karmic bond with her. He meant only to help her casually, but the white snake clings to him, determined to repay his kindness, disrupting many of his plans. Even worse, Buddhism turns its attention to them. The opportunity to become their “guardian snake immortal” seems to have been snatched away by this inexplicable piece of jade! Buddhism is furious: “How dare a mere stubborn stone lay claim to a destiny chosen by our Buddha?” Yulin only smiles faintly as countless Dao-patterned jade talismans flow at his fingertips, pure light washing away the evils around him. “In the struggle for the Great Dao, a player must know their place.” “Did you ask me, the one holding the pieces, before setting up your game?” “Bai Suzhen, in this life, I'll repay your kindness; I'll protect your Dao! Buddhism, go cool off somewhere else!” Watch as a piece of jade gains sentience and takes control of the game in the prehistoric world after Journey to the West, stirring up storms and writing a different kind of Yuqing legend!
