He woke up to find that he had transmigrated into an innate spiritual root at the end of the Dragon-Han Calamity.
After ten thousand years of arduous cultivation, his tribulation to take human form drew the attention of three supreme powers.
“This item is fated to be mine.”
When the Grand Pure One, Laozi, said those words, Qing Xuan knew his life, or rather, his life as a bamboo, was about to change completely.
He became a disciple of the Grand Pure One, the first disciple under the Three Pure Ones, and the senior brother of a new generation of Xuanmen!
When Dao Ancestor Hongjun lectured on the Dao, he stood above all rivals in the Zixiao Palace, claiming a meditation cushion and seizing a seat among the Sages.
As the Witch-Demon Tribulation swept across heaven and earth, he laid out a game of strategy high above the Nine Heavens, determined the world’s fate, and protected humankind.
When the Sages turned against one another in the Investiture of the Gods War, he balanced black and white between yin and yang, settled the conflict, and turned the tide.
As the foremost disciple of the Three Pure Ones, he wielded innate supreme treasures and established Orthodox Xuanmen. In the vast and turbulent Primordial World, he would attain the supreme Great Dao!
I seem to remember that Guang Chengzi was accepted as a disciple only when the Daoist Ancestor spoke about it for the second time.
