After a long while, a baby's cry sounded out. In the sky, an old man held a peach wood cane and had a kind expression. He looked at the flying bear phenomenon below and muttered," The person that Master made me wait for has finally appeared.”
At this moment, all the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals in the Untainted Land felt something and looked up at the sky.
The tribulation clouds rolled in the sky and could not stop rumbling, emitting a terrifying power.
The Heavenly Dao was hidden, and the great tribulation appeared. Karma was chaotic, and even saints could not deduce it.
******
There was a small village in Zhaoge. There was a huge bluestone in the village. A young man was sitting on the bluestone, looking at the setting sun in the distance.
This young man had a name, Jiang Ziya.
In the 20 years since he was born, he seemed to be muddle-headed to others. He sat facing the sky every day and could be in a daze for an entire day. He didn't even know how to farm. He couldn't even distinguish between grass and crops. He rarely spoke.
After a long time, the sun was setting and the sky was gradually darkening. A slightly older young man came to Jiang Ziya with half a pancake in his hand.
"Ziya, you must be hungry."
Jiang Ziya came back to his senses and looked at the young man with a smile." Big Brother, I'm not hungry. You can eat by yourself."”
"Coo coo coo!"
However, reality was so urgent that inappropriate things would always intervene at the critical moment.
Song Yiren laughed loudly." Hahaha, take it and eat it. There's no need to be so polite with me."”
"Thank you, Big Brother!"
Jiang Ziya gratefully took the flatbread and wolfed it down.”
"Slow down!"
Jiang Ziya shook his head, indicating that it was fine. He then asked," Why is Big Brother here?”
"Today happens to be the day of collecting land taxes. I followed father here to take a look.”
"After all, I'm going to take over the family business sooner or later.”
Song Yiren's young face was filled with anticipation.
Jiang Ziya was stunned. He smiled and said," Big Brother has a big family and business, but you don't have to worry about your life.”
"Ziya, you can't go on like this. Why don't you let your father learn how to farm? I've told my father to exempt your family from land tax for three years.”
"No, you know that this is not my goal.”
Jiang Ziya shook his head with a bitter smile and sighed as he looked at the clouds in the sky.
"Alright then!"
Song Yiren was speechless. He had said this many times, but Jiang Ziya never listened.
"I know that you have lofty aspirations, but in today's world, food, clothing, housing, and transportation are the most basic. If you can't solve this matter, it's useless even if you have great aspirations.”
Song Yiren sighed slightly, his tone filled with disappointment.
"Clothes, food, housing, transportation!"
Jiang Ziya murmured.
"I've long known that you're not an ordinary person, but for such a great ambition, we have to start from the basics.”
Jiang Ziya nodded in understanding." Thank you, Big Brother. I understand."”
Song Yiren smiled slightly." How about it? From tomorrow onwards, you can follow your father to farm. It just so happens that I'm about to take over a piece of fertile land. When the time comes, I'll hand it over to you to farm."”
When Jiang Ziya heard Song Yiren's words, he shook his head and said," No, I want to leave this place and seek immortality. As long as I become an immortal, I can live comfortably. Only in this way can I realize my ambition.”
"Immortals?"
Song Yiren was stunned." Ziya, don't try to climb up to the top. It's so difficult to seek immortality."”
"Big brother, there's no need to say anything. I've already made up my mind to leave.”
Jiang Ziya said firmly while looking deeply at a thatched hut in the village.
"Sigh!"
Song Yiren didn't say anything else and just sighed.
"Go. I only hope that we will meet again in the future.”
Song Yiren shook his head and sighed, but he was disappointed in Jiang Ziya. He felt that his years of hard work had been in vain.
If it was that simple, the human race would not be in this situation.
Looking at Song Yiren's back, Jiang Ziya shed tears for the first time in his life." Brother, I will definitely succeed."”
In the distance, Song Yiren waved his hand with his back to Jiang Ziya and did not say anything.
Jiang Ziya looked at the village that gave birth to him again and wiped his tears. He walked toward the path in the sunset.
However, he did not know that there was an auspicious cloud following behind him in the sky.
Jiang Ziya had never left this small village, so he knew nothing about the outside world.
In the village, he had never worried about food and clothing every day. He did not know how to find food. He did not even think about how dangerous it was for him to be in the wilderness.
At the same time, he didn't know where the immortals were, or Jiang Ziya had never thought about whether others would take him as a disciple. He was like a person who had never been deeply involved in the world and never worried about anything.
There was only one heart guiding him to walk aimlessly towards the east until his clothes were ragged and his straw shoes were worn out.
There was no turning back. He could only keep walking.
When he was tired, he would sleep on the ground. When he was hungry, he would pick wild fruits from the mountains. When he was thirsty, he would drink from the mountain stream.
Along the way, he had never seen a wild beast, nor had he seen the monster that the villagers were talking about.
Until he followed his heart and came to such a lofty mountain range. He stepped on the rugged mountain path and came to a dazzling palace.
Jiang Ziya, who was already exhausted, fainted.
The palace was extremely magnificent. It had a golden and resplendent door with a plaque on it: The Jade Mirage Palace was where Heavenly Lord Yuanshi's dojo was located.
******
Jiang Ziya didn't remember how he fainted, but when he woke up, he found himself lying on a jade bed with a boy in a Taoist robe standing straight beside him.
Jiang Ziya looked at the boy and said," Good day, fairy boy. May I ask if this is the land of immortals?"”
The boy smiled and nodded. He extended his hand to welcome him." This is the Taoist Temple of the Heavenly Primogenitor, the Jade Palace. If you are fated, please follow me."”
"Primordial Origin Saint!"
Jiang Ziya was shocked. No matter how ignorant he had been all these years, it was impossible for him not to know what kind of existence a Saint was.
"Please wait a moment!"
Jiang Ziya stood up and ran to a bronze mirror in the room. Just as he was about to dress up, he realized that he was wearing a brand new robe. His entire body was clean and flawless, as if he was bathing in the spring sun.
"This!"
"There is no need to be alarmed. Please follow me.”
The Taoist child looked at Jiang Ziya's surprised expression and was a little proud, as if he was very satisfied with his performance.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, immortal child."
Jiang Ziya bowed respectfully.
******
In the main hall of the Hollow Jade Temple, a white-bearded, white-haired, ruddy old man was sitting on a high platform. His figure was faintly discernible and looked extremely blurry.
"Who are you? Why did you come to my Hollow Jade Temple?"
Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, who was sitting on the high platform, opened his lips and looked dignified.
"I'm Jiang Ziya, a citizen of Zhaoge City. I'm here to seek immortality. I hope you'll take me in as your disciple.”
Jiang Ziya knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
"Chaoge is millions of miles away from here. How did a mortal like you get here?”
There was no anger in Heavenly Lord of the Origin's words, but Jiang Ziya, who was at the bottom of the steps, felt like he was in a huge wave and his mind was on the verge of collapsing.
