Primordial Era: Heavenly Origin Sect Eldest Disciple, Proving the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo

He hurried over and bowed to the person.

"This humble Daoist is Guang Chengzi, greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

Gu Changsheng was slightly taken aback, then rose and returned the bow.

"This humble Daoist is Gu Changsheng, greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

Chapter 5: Heaven and Earth Lose Their Color, Saints Descend!

Guang Chengzi, clad in a Daoist robe, had the demeanor of an immortal.

Gu Changsheng knew a bit about him.

Not only was this person the teacher of Xuanyuan the Yellow Emperor, but he was also the foremost among the Heavenly Origin Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals.

His reputation was quite renowned.

Guang Chengzi sat down and clasped his hands, saying, "Fellow Daoist possesses a celestial countenance, such great resolve, courage, and wisdom, truly makes this humble Daoist feel inadequate."

Those 129,600 steps were equivalent to the count of one Yuan.

Each step, though containing illusions, was also a test for those seeking the Dao.

Among thousands upon thousands of cultivators, Gu Changsheng was the first to reach the summit.

This earned Guang Chengzi more respect for Gu Changsheng.

Although Gu Changsheng's cultivation was not as high as his own, his comprehension and fortune were beyond what he could match.

Therefore, Guang Chengzi had come to pay his respects to Gu Changsheng.

"Fellow Daoist flatters me, this is merely a matter of fortune,"

Gu Changsheng dared not be arrogant.

The reason he had crossed the mountain gate was due to the deductions of the Primordial System.

If it weren't for the Primordial System, he wouldn't have been able to climb even three steps.

Guang Chengzi, however, was different.

He had reached the Heavenly Gate entirely through his own talent.

Thus, Gu Changsheng felt it was best to remain low-key.

Guang Chengzi, however, mistook this for Gu Changsheng's humility.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Changsheng is so humble, it's truly rare and commendable. If it were me, would I be as humble as Fellow Daoist?"

Guang Chengzi's thoughts flickered, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

He suddenly felt that Gu Changsheng's future was limitless and his attainments far surpassed his own.

Gu Changsheng was unaware that a single sentence from him had almost caused Guang Chengzi to break down.

Just as he was about to speak, a prompt sounded in his ear.

[Beep, do you wish to detect the other party's specific data?]

Guang Chengzi's data?

Gu Changsheng also wanted to know some of Guang Chengzi's data.

He immediately said in a low voice, "Detect!"

[Beep! Receiving host's command, scanning for host!]

[Beep, scan successful for host, please check.]

[Physique: 10000+]

[Spirit: 10000+]

[Status: Gains power through a substance called Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!]

Gu Changsheng's expression changed slightly, and his heart was startled.

Guang Chengzi's physique and spirit were actually so powerful?

This Primordial System was designed by Gu Changsheng.

The data it presented was also set based on Earthlings.

Therefore, a normal person's physique was generally around 0.1.

This was the physique of most people.

For martial artists, it might be around 0.5.

However, the data of people on Earth could not compare to that of the Primordial Era.

This was not only reflected in the cultivation system of the Primordial Era, but more importantly, it was the magical spells and treasures in the Primordial Era.

With the enhancement of magical treasures and spells, their physique was also extremely formidable.

As for Gu Changsheng, an innate human, his physique was only 20 points.

But Guang Chengzi was already over ten thousand.

This was outrageous.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Changsheng had the Primordial System reset the data.

After all, he had arrived in the Primordial Era and was now interacting with beings from this world.

The data from his previous life on Earth could be cleared.

[Beep, updating and resetting, please wait, host.]

[Beep, collecting data 10%... 20%...]

Gu Changsheng watched the Primordial System update automatically and decided to let it proceed for now.

Guang Chengzi praised Gu Changsheng a few more times, his words carrying even deeper respect.

Gu Changsheng maintained his humble demeanor.

Time flew by, and as more cultivators crossed the Heavenly Gate to arrive at the Yuanshi Dao Field, their numbers grew.

However, compared to the countless beings on Kunlun Mountain, those who had crossed the Heavenly Gate were less than ten percent.

There were only a few hundred people in total.

Most of these hundreds of people were in tattered clothes, looking disheveled and miserable.

Gu Changsheng scanned them and was certain that the Heavenly Origin Sect's Twelve Golden Immortals were among them.

This time, Saint Yuanshi would only select twelve disciples from these few hundred cultivators.

Therefore, climbing the steps was merely the first step of the trial.

This had already filtered out millions of cultivators, leaving only a few hundred to await Saint Yuanshi's second trial.

Gu Changsheng had no idea what this second trial would entail.

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, purple heavenly lightning split the sky and the earth.

The countless beings who were still climbing instantly fell.

The Heavenly Gate in the sky also vanished.

"How could it disappear?"

"Did the trial end?"

"I haven't even started yet."

"I've been eliminated?"

Hundreds of thousands of Primordial cultivators cried out in near despair, unwilling to accept their fate.

But the trial was cruel.

The few hundred cultivators who had reached the summit stood as if bathed in a spring breeze, awaiting the appearance of the saint.

Gu Changsheng looked up; these hundreds of cultivators were all exceptionally talented.

After all, who could pass the first trial without immense perseverance?

[Beep, update complete, reset successful!]

As the Primordial System's prompt sounded, Gu Changsheng saw a screen full of extraordinarily gifted individuals.

"I wonder what the second trial will be from Saint Yuanshi?"

Even with the Primordial System, Gu Changsheng felt a little hesitant facing so many top-tier talents.

Among the hundreds of cultivators, besides Guang Chengzi, who occasionally glanced at Gu Changsheng, there was also a robed cultivator who gave Gu Changsheng a deep look.

"He was the first to reach the summit?"

"This person's talent is extraordinary. I'll try to befriend him after the saint's trial concludes."

A thought flashed through the cultivator's mind.

Someone who looked troubled also glanced at Gu Changsheng.
