Primordial Ancient Serpent-Chapter 478: Yuanshi and Lingbao Become Saints — The Birth of Chanjiao and Jiejiao

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun stood up and proclaimed, "With the Dao as witness, I am one of the Prehistoric Sanqing, born from the inheritance of Heaven and Earth. My name is Yuanshi Tianzun, also known as Yuqing Yuanshi, disciple of the Lord of Chaos City.

Blessed by Heaven's grace, I shall now establish a sect to spread the teachings of the Dao. I walk the path of Heaven, uphold the Yang Dao, and preach to the beings of the prehistoric world. I shall suppress the luck of this great teaching with the Innate Treasure, the Pangu Banner. Those with exceptional talents may come and listen to my Way."

Rumble—!

As soon as his voice fell, immeasurable waves of Enlightenment Merit and Heaven-Opening Merit descended from the sky, like a vast tide, pouring into Yuanshi Tianzun's limbs and bones.

Already at the Peak of Quasi-Saint, he was just one step away from reaching the Saint Realm. Now, with the descent of such merit, the breakthrough came naturally—he instantly ascended to Saint Realm, obtaining his holy position and mastering twenty-seven Dao.

His sacred aura radiated limitlessly. It was as if he embodied the very beginning of all things—profound, mysterious, and exuding the essence of the Dao itself.

Establishing a sect was in line with Yuanshi Tianzun's nature. The word "Chan (clarify)" means to explain, to illuminate. In essence, his sect aimed to refine knowledge and reveal the mysteries of the Dao. Only those of the highest talent could grasp such depth.

Thus, Yuanshi Tianzun believed that only a select few were destined to attain the Dao. Ordinary beings had no need to pursue it. His was a system of elite education—only the most gifted were taught. This philosophy was akin to modern elite academies, where deep knowledge is reserved for the extraordinary.

Because of this, Chanjiao had few disciples, but every one of them was a peerless genius.

Just then, another voice rose. It was Lingbao Tianzun, who spoke: "With the Dao as witness, I am also one of the Prehistoric Sanqing, born from the legacy of Heaven and Earth. I am Lingbao Tianzun, disciple of the Lord of Chaos City.

By Heaven's grace, I now establish a sect. Of the Three Thousand Daos, I follow one path. My sect shall intercept a thread of life for all things. I preach in the prehistoric world and guard my teachings with the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, gathering boundless luck."

Rumble—!

The heavens once again trembled. Lingbao Tianzun was also at the Peak of Quasi-Saint, and with the arrival of tremendous merit, he instantly broke through the bottleneck, ascended to the Saint Realm, and mastered twenty-seven Dao.

His holy aura burst forth like peerless sword energy, stretching across billions of miles. Sword formations emerged throughout the prehistoric world, suppressing vast luck.

Lingbao Tianzun established Jiejiao, a sect founded on equality in learning. He cared not for background or innate talent—only for the heart devoted to the Dao. Anyone with such a heart could become a disciple of Jiejiao.

This was the essence of universal education, offering equal opportunity to all. But such openness led to a mix of disciples—some virtuous, some flawed. Jiejiao became the largest sect, though its disciples were a varied lot.

"Congratulations."

Daode Tianzun smiled as he watched his younger brothers finally become Saints.

Now sanctified, they could leap like dragons through the sea, soar above the Five Elements and the Three Realms, and become true chess players in the grand game of fate.

"If not for Elder Brother's guidance, we wouldn't know when we'd have reached sainthood," said Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun with heartfelt gratitude.

Though they were Quasi-Saints for ages, they lacked the final opportunity to ascend. Many Quasi-Saints across the realms remain stuck forever, unable to touch the secrets of sainthood.

Daode Tianzun asked, "Now that you've founded your sects, have you chosen the location for your dojos?"

"Of course," replied Yuanshi Tianzun with a smile. "There is a sacred mountain in the east named Kunlun. It is home to supreme dragon veins, with rich spiritual qi, lush landscapes, and divine beasts. A perfect place for the headquarters of Chanjiao."

"Kunlun is indeed a place of great opportunity," Daode Tianzun nodded. Then he turned to his third brother, Lingbao Tianzun. "What about you?"

"I've chosen the Penglai Island, above the East Sea," said Lingbao Tianzun. "It is a holy island, source of the East Sea's dragon veins, filled with treasures and surrounded by boundless resources. It is the ideal base for Jiejiao."

"Penglai Island is a true fairyland. With it, you can control the luck of the East Sea. Even the dragons would not dare act rashly," said Daode Tianzun approvingly.

"Elder Brother, where will your human sect be established?" asked both Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun.

"I shall establish my dojo outside the realms, and name it Bajing Palace," said Daode Tianzun calmly.

"Outside the realms? Can you still recruit disciples that way?" they asked in surprise.

"Of course," Daode Tianzun replied with a slight smile. "My disciples are chosen by fate. When fate arrives, they shall find me—even outside the realms. Without fate, even the most talented cannot enter my sect."

Indeed, Daode Tianzun's philosophy was unique. While Chanjiao and Jiejiao had clear standards for disciples—whether talent or heart—Renjiao was founded entirely on fate.

Only those destined could become disciples of Daode Tianzun.
