Primordial Lord of Heaven made his choice. Although it pained him somewhat, he didn't regret it.
After all, there was still a Heavenly Dao Exotic Treasure and a Chaos Realm Divine Ability.
Furthermore, he could use this to trick Zhenyuanzi into joining the Heavenly Origin Sect.
One must know that Zhenyuanzi was already a Quasi-Saint.
After opening up the Earth Immortal Realm, his strength would increase. Even if he couldn't become a Saint, he would be close!
If he were to join the Heavenly Origin Sect again and utilize the Primordial Violet Qi, he might even be able to become a Saint!
Everything was for a better future.
Primordial Lord withdrew his gaze from the System and looked at Zhenyuanzi, slowly speaking, "The reason your cultivation has been stagnant is because your opportunity has arrived."
An opportunity has arrived?
Zhenyuanzi was stunned.
This could be called an opportunity?
Others' opportunities either helped their cultivation, leading to rapid advancements, or allowed them to directly comprehend the Great Dao.
But for him, his cultivation came to a standstill, and even his magical treasure, the Earth Book, was affected.
If this was considered an opportunity, then he would rather not have it!
Before Zhenyuanzi could ask for a solution, he heard Primordial Lord of Heaven continue, "When you've been cultivating recently, have you often felt the Earth Book becoming scorching hot? At times, even the earth veins beneath Wuzhuang Temple were affected?"
"And each time you actively investigated, you found that all the anomalies disappeared. This situation occurs every time you cultivate, especially when using the Earth Book?"
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi's pupils contracted, and the shock in his eyes was almost palpable.
How did the Jade Purity Saint know these things?!
Even as a Heavenly Dao Saint, omniscient and all-knowing, comprehending all things.
He should know that these were his own thoughts. Even the most powerful Saint couldn't know what he was thinking.
Yet, the Jade Purity Saint revealed them so directly and without any error. How could Zhenyuanzi not be shocked?
If the Jade Purity Saint knew this, didn't that mean he could also know Zhenyuanzi's current thoughts?!
Zhenyuanzi subconsciously took a step back. Standing before Primordial Lord now, he felt an awkward sense of being completely exposed, all his secrets laid bare.
He respectfully asked, "May I ask, Jade Purity Saint, how can this stagnation be resolved?"
Primordial Lord secretly rejoiced. Zhenyuanzi had finally taken the bait.
Then, he slowly said, "To resolve it is very simple. You only need to comprehend the Great Dao of the Earth Immortal and open up the Earth Immortal Realm. Everything will be solved!"
Boom!
Zhenyuanzi's mind was greatly shaken.
Comprehend the Great Dao of the Earth Immortal and open up the Earth Immortal Realm!
This was an ultimate opportunity!
If he were the one to open up this Earth Immortal Realm, he would undoubtedly become the Ancestor of Earth Immortals!
With immense Merit bestowed upon him, unless a truly immeasurable tribulation occurred, where heaven and earth were recreated by Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind, turning into Chaos, he would be an immortal being as long as he was within the Earth Immortal Realm!
Even if he couldn't become a Saint, his strength would improve significantly. In fact, within the Earth Immortal Realm, by borrowing the power of the entire world, he might even be able to contend with a Saint!
Thus, as the Jade Purity Saint said, this was indeed a great opportunity.
He immediately began to deduce, but as he deduced, his initially excited expression gradually faded.
Was it ultimately just a wishful thought?
His expression turned dim.
How difficult was it to open up a world?
It required gathering Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind again, evolving heaven and earth. Even with the help of the Earth Book, it would be extremely difficult to open up the Earth Immortal Realm.
He was only a Quasi-Saint. To undertake such a world-creating feat was too arduous.
Zhenyuanzi looked at Primordial Lord of Heaven, a wry smile appearing on his face, "Thank you, Jade Purity Saint, for your guidance. It's a pity that this opportunity will slip through my fingers."
"Opening up the Earth Immortal Realm is too difficult. With my current strength, it's almost impossible to achieve."
Zhenyuanzi spoke of his inner bitterness.
But at this moment, Primordial Lord was overjoyed.
If you could open up the Earth Immortal Realm by yourself right now, what would I even be talking to you about? What I want is for you to be unable to open it!
Although Primordial Lord was excited, his expression remained indifferent, showing no change. He slowly spoke, "I can help you open up the Earth Immortal Realm."
Gathering Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind again, and opening up a world might be very difficult for a Quasi-Saint, but for a Saint, it was as easy as flipping a hand!
A look of astonishment also appeared on Zhenyuanzi's face.
Helping him evolve the Earth Immortal Realm!
This is a great karmic debt.
It's even comparable to the karma of becoming a Saint. How could he possibly repay such karma?
Even more puzzling was why the Jade Purity Saint would help him.
Although he had some acquaintance with the Primordial Lord of Heaven, it was far too shallow.
It wasn't enough for the Primordial Lord of Heaven to help him this much.
He remained cautious, looking at the Primordial Lord of Heaven and speaking directly, "Your assistance, Jade Purity Saint, truly makes me feel overwhelmed. I wonder what you wish for me to do?"
A smile appeared on the Primordial Lord's face.
Zhenyuanzi had indeed taken the bait!
After all, Zhenyuanzi was too cautious, unwilling to fight and only wishing to cultivate peacefully under the Ginseng Fruit Tree at Wuzhuang Temple.
The only things that could concern him were likely the pursuit of the Great Dao and Yunzhongzi.
"My request is very simple. I want you to join my Heavenly Origin Sect after you create the Earth Immortal Realm!"
"With your talent and strength, I will not mistreat you."
"Upon joining the Heavenly Origin Sect, I will grant you the position of Vice Sect Master, equal to Daoist Randeng!"
Daoist Randeng was also a Vice Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Sect. He was one of the three thousand guests of the Purple Heaven Palace in the past, and his seniority was comparable to his own. Naturally, he couldn't dismiss Daoist Randeng for Zhenyuanzi.
As for Daoist Randeng going to the Western Teachings in later generations and becoming the Burning Lamp Ancient Buddha, that was due to the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation and the schemes of the Two Sages of the West. If the Heavenly Origin Sect was strong enough, and the Three Pure Ones were united, how could they allow the Two Sages of the West to scheme within it?
That's it? That's it?
Zhenyuanzi looked at the Primordial Lord, completely stunned.
He had expected a much more difficult request.
He never imagined it would be so simple!
Moreover, joining the Heavenly Origin Sect could be considered an opportunity.
One had to know how powerful the Heavenly Origin Sect was now – Taiyi Immortals were everywhere, Golden Immortals were as common as dogs, and it was subtly becoming the foremost sect in the Great Wilderness. Now, not only did they want him to join, but they were also directly offering him the position of Vice Sect Master.
Was there even a choice?
Zhenyuanzi looked at the Primordial Lord of Heaven and respectfully bowed, "I thank the Jade Purity Saint for your regard. Zhenyuanzi is willing to join the Heavenly Origin Sect!"
"Good!"
The Primordial Lord was overjoyed.
With Zhenyuanzi joining the Heavenly Origin Sect and the creation of the Earth Immortal Realm, the Heavenly Origin Sect's Destiny would undoubtedly surge again!
It was truly a win-win situation!
The Primordial Lord looked at Zhenyuanzi, "To evolve the Earth Immortal Realm, it won't do to be here. We need to go to the Chaos."
Then, with a sweep of his great sleeve, he brought Zhenyuanzi directly into the boundless Chaos.
Zhenyuanzi did not hesitate and took out the Earth Book.
This was the Primordial Earth Membrane, possessing the ability to control the earth veins of the Great Wilderness, and it had countless unknown connections with the Earthly Dao.
Holding the Earth Book, Zhenyuanzi's divine power surged, using the Earth Book to evolve a world.
The Primordial Lord of Heaven also made a move, his Saintly laws rolling, and the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind began to reassemble.
Creating a world and reassembling the Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind might be difficult for a Quasi-Saint, but for a Saint, it was effortless.
With the Primordial Lord's assistance, one could clearly see a world being created with the Earth Book as its foundation. Its internal space began to evolve rapidly, quickly transforming into a real world.
Laws of time, space, life and death, the five elements, and so on, all condensed at this moment, as if the heavens and earth were being created.
Within it, turbid energy descended to form land.
Pure energy rose to form the sky.
The Earth Immortal Realm was slowly evolving!
