Listening to the Dao on Golden Ao Island (Part 2)

"Oh."

With a soft chuckle, Shen Gongbao stood up abruptly. "Yuanshi Tianzun, when it comes to judging people, there's only one standard—their origins!"

Shen Gongbao looked around and said, "She believes that everything depends on where you stand!"

All things in the world are born into different classes.

The Innate Deities are chosen ones, and the best Human Race was created by the Empress Nuwa —that's about it.

As for us demons..."

Before he finished speaking, a white ape spirit who had achieved some success in cultivation lowered his head silently, his face full of sorrow.

Her words struck a chord with every demon cultivator!

On what grounds?

Why should we be born inferior to others?

Seeing this, the Saint Mother Jin Ling spoke in a gentle voice, comforting everyone. "Junior Brother White Ape, there's no need to be sad."

Yuanshi, but the path of cultivation demands even more from one's Daoist heart and perseverance.

You cultivated diligently for a thousand years, didn't you also attain the Great Luo Dao Fruit?

Compared to some innate beings who have a natural advantage but lack ambition, they are more than a hundred times stronger.

She changed the subject, her gaze falling on Shen Gongbao with a hint of approval. "The Chan Sect values first impressions, while our sect values the heart of the Dao!"

Gui Ling Sister Guiling is a transformed Xuan Turtle. Thanks to Senior Chu Feng's fortuitous encounter, she is now Half-step Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Who dares to say she's not good enough?

These words stirred the blood of countless demon cultivators present, filling them with pride and excitement!

Interception Sect!

This is where they belong!

Just then, an immense and boundless pressure suddenly descended!

Above the preaching platform, a radiant beam of light shot into the sky!

The phantom of the Tongtian Sect Master suddenly appeared, "I would like to add a word to what you just said."

"What exactly is being intercepted when you say 'seizing Heavenly secrets '?"

The Tongtian Sect Master's gaze swept over each disciple below, finally settling on Shen Gongbao.

"What we intercepted was precisely to fight for that sliver of life for you, beings who have been slighted by Heaven and scorned by the world!"

Why should someone born into a bad family deserve to die? Why should someone with a weak lineage be disqualified from attaining enlightenment? This is unfair!

With a single word, all the immortals bowed their heads, their hearts and minds stirred!

The illusory figure of the Tongtian Sect Master pointed at Shen Gongbao: "Shen Gongbao, since you have abandoned Yuqing and joined my Shangqing."

Once you understand this heart, roam freely across the Primordial World!

Shen Gongbao felt a surge of heat rush to the top of his head, and he suddenly knelt down, prostrating himself on the ground. "Disciple! I am willing to uphold this belief until death!"

The sage's sermon ended, but the excitement at the Jade Pure Palace was just beginning.

Shen Gongbao has become a sensation!

He almost became an idol in the eyes of the demon cultivators.

After class, more than ten powerful demon cultivators immediately surrounded her. Leading them was a formidable black tiger demon, who clasped her hands in a deep, resonant voice and said, "Senior Sister Shen! You're amazing! I, Black Wind, admire you!"

"Senior Brother Shen, tell us in detail! What exactly are the secrets of the Yuqing Dao Method? If we know ourselves and our enemy, then if we ever run into those arrogant fellows from the Chan Sect, we won't be speechless and looked down upon!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Senior sister, please tell us!"

Faced with such enthusiastic fellow disciples, Shen Gongbao felt an unprecedented sense of belonging.

In the Kunlun Mountain, we've never received such treatment before.

She readily agreed and went with the others to the edge of the cliff, where they sat down on the ground.

They talked from midday until the stars filled the sky.

Shen Gongbao shared Yuqing Dao Method he had learned with everyone without reservation, and from time to time he would compare them with the Supreme Pure Immortal Method, pointing out the fundamental differences between the two schools of thought in their Daoist practices.

When the story reached its most brilliant points, the audience would slap their hands in amazement, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.

This move has completely exposed the secrets of the Chan Sect!

If the Yuanshi Tianzun knew this, he would probably be so angry that he would immediately come over with the Pangu Banner to kill them!

Three days later.

Shen Gongbao was sitting quietly in his cave, reflecting on what he had gained over the past few days, when the voice of the Water Fire Child came from outside the cave.

"Senior Brother Shen, Master summons you to the inner hall for an audience."

Master summons me!

Shen Gongbao's heart tightened, and he dared not be negligent. He quickly straightened his clothes and followed the boy towards the back hall of the Jade Pure Palace.

Inside the rear hall, celestial mist swirled, and the atmosphere was imbued with the essence of Daoism.

The true form of Tongtian was seated cross-legged on a cloud bed.

Daoist Duobao and Saint Mother Jin Ling Jinling stood on either side of the cloud bed.

Shen Gongbao's heart skipped a beat, and he respectfully bowed. "Disciple Shen Gongbao greets Master, Senior Brother, and Second Senior Sister."

A moment later, Tongtian opened his eyes. "Indeed, the Daluo Golden Immortal cultivation that Fellow Chu Feng bestowed upon you has a solid foundation and pure magical power, without the slightest hint of weakness."

Chu Feng!

Upon hearing this name, Duobao and Jin Ling, who were standing to the side, showed a hint of awe in their eyes.

Tongtian changed the subject. "However, cultivation is an external force, while the primordial spirit is the foundation. Your natal primordial spirit is ultimately lacking in refinement."

Having said that, she pointed a finger behind Eunuch Shen!

"Awoo--"

With a roar, a huge black panther phantom suddenly appeared behind Shen Gongbao, exuding a ferocious aura and its sharp claws gleaming coldly.

"Your primordial spirit is swift and fierce. But..."

The Tongtian Sect Master shook his head. "You are fast but lack solidity. You can fight against opponents of the same level, but if they have a treasure to protect them or specialize in defensive techniques, your attacks will be unable to harm their core. In the long run, you will surely be defeated. You need to properly temper your primordial spirit."

Upon hearing this, Shen Gongbao broke out in a cold sweat.

This is precisely my biggest weakness!

"I will remember your teachings, Master."

At this moment, the Daoist Duobao chuckled, flipped his hand, and produced a small silver boat shaped like a willow leaf.

"Junior brother, you're new here, and I don't have much of my own. Here's a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, the Duntian Boat. Take it for self-defense."

Although this ship is not powerful in attack, its hull is covered with top-tier concealment Array Formations carved by your brother, and its speed is unparalleled among ships of the same level.

Once this vessel is unleashed, even Primordial Origin Golden Immortal would find it difficult to detect your presence!

If you can't beat them, run! This item is essential for escaping and ambushing others!

Daoist Duobao winked, giving him a knowing look.

Shen Gongbao was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Senior Sister!"

She had just accepted the Duntian Boat when the Saint Mother Jin Ling smiled and handed over three ancient jade scrolls.

"Junior sister, you originally cultivated the Yuqing Divine Thunder, which, although powerful, was too forceful and lacked variation."

I have here the <Supreme Pure Profound Pivot Lightning Method>, personally passed down by my master. It is divided into three volumes: Heaven, Earth, and Man. It emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang and that birth and death are determined by the mind. If you switch to practicing this technique, you will surely achieve twice the results with half the effort."

Another top-tier lightning magic!

Shen Gongbao felt that happiness had come too suddenly!

Seeing that she accepted it, the Saint Mother Jin Ling took out a golden token, "This is the access token of my Interception Sect Scripture Pavilion. With special permission from my master, I have opened the third level of access for you."

Within the three levels, there are over three hundred volumes of ancient Demon Script script, all containing the cultivation insights and primordial secret techniques of ancient great demons. They will greatly benefit your tempering of your primordial spirit and strengthening of your foundation."

The three levels of access Duntian Boat, Shangqing Thunder Technique, and Scripture Pavilion Repository!

this...

This treatment is ten thousand times better than what he received as a slave in the Chan Sect for thousands of years!

Holding the three precious treasures, Shen Gongbao felt his eyes welling up with tears, and a surge of emotion welled up in his heart, a feeling of "a scholar would die for a friend who understands him."

She knelt down heavily, her voice choked with sobs. "Master, Senior Sister's kindness is beyond repayment, even if Shen Gongbao were to be shattered to pieces!"

The Tongtian Sect Master nodded slightly, his expression calm. "Go, do not waste Fellow Daoist Chu's good fortune, nor tarnish the reputation of the Interception Sect."

Shen Gongbao took a deep breath, suppressing his turbulent emotions, and respectfully withdrew from the inner hall.

He gripped the warm token tightly in his hand, his gaze becoming incredibly sharp.

The Chan Sect looks down on me, saying I'm just a creature with fur and horns, and that my lineage is shallow?

Then I will use this demonic body that you all despise to attain the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

And there's Senior Chu Feng; I must find a way to deal with him.

With that thought, she turned and strode towards the Scripture Pavilion...
