Yuanfeng's Request
Lin Tian was pruning the branches of his spiritual root in the backyard. Ever since he planted the spiritual root in the backyard, Little Deer had been taking care of it.
Having nothing to do today, I decided to prune it myself.
Suddenly, he paused slightly in his movements and looked up into the void.
Three streaks of light pierced through the clouds and landed at the edge of the formation outside the island.
The leader was a woman dressed in a seven-colored feathered robe, with unparalleled beauty.
Two young men followed behind her, one dressed in colorful brocade robes and with an arrogant expression.
The other man was dressed in a neat blue robe, his eyes sharp and piercing.
"Dao Venerable, is Dao Venerable here?"
The Golden-winged Great Peng Bird shouted directly from outside the island, regardless of whether the people inside could hear it.
"Yuanfeng? What brings her here?"
Lin Tian was somewhat surprised and waved his hand to activate an array.
Yuanfeng stepped onto the island, her steps hesitant for a moment, appearing somewhat uneasy.
"Dao Venerable, please forgive my unannounced visit." Yuanfeng's voice was clear and melodious, and her face couldn't help but blush slightly when she saw Lin Tian again.
Lin Tian rose to greet him, "No need for formalities. I just didn't expect you to come to my Three Immortal Islands."
Yuanfeng coughed lightly, "To be honest, ever since the Dao Venerable gave me guidance last time, I have still not been able to touch the threshold of the Hunyuan Grand Unity. It just so happens that Kong Xuan and the Golden-winged Great Peng Bird were clamoring to see the Dao Venerable, so I shamelessly came here."
She turned to the two boys beside her. "Why haven't you paid your respects to the Dao Venerable yet?"
Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng stepped forward to pay their respects. Their demeanor still carried the naiveté of youth, but they were much more composed than before.
Their cultivation had reached the late stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng went straight to the point. "I beg the Dao Venerable to guide me and make me stronger!"
Kong Xuan nodded without speaking, but his eyes were filled with unwavering determination.
Lin Tian sized up the two brothers.
After many years, they have grown from children into teenagers.
"Since you're here, stay," Lin Tian said calmly. "However, cultivation is all about fate; how much you gain depends on yourselves."
Yuanfeng flashed with joy, and she was about to thank him when her gaze fell on the Little Deer beside Lin Tian, and she was immediately stunned.
Yuanfeng used his divine sense Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, to investigate, but it was like a mud ox sinking into the sea; he couldn't see through the cultivator's cultivation level at all.
"Who is this...?" Yuanfeng asked hesitantly.
Lin Tian introduced her, "She is my maid, her name is Little Deer."
The Little Deer bowed slightly to Yuanfeng.
Yuanfeng's heart was filled with shock and disbelief, for she could tell that the Little Deer had already attained the Primordial Chaos Realm!
She then saw Six-Eared Macaque in the distance instructing Wu Zhiqi. Six-Eared Macaque's body was filled with Dao Rhythm, just like the Little Deer.
"Another Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!"
Six-Eared Macaque nodded to Yuanfeng, greeted him, and then continued to give instructions.
"In that case, I will trouble the Dao Venerable." Yuanfeng bowed respectfully.
Lin Tian nodded and asked Little Deer to arrange for them to stay.
From then on, Three Immortal Islands gained a new guest.
Every seven days, Lin Tian would preaching the Dao under the old pine tree, not focusing on specific techniques, but expounding on the essence of laws and the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
"The Way of Primordial Chaos lies in freedom and unrestraint, unlike that of a sage." Lin Tian's voice was calm. "Currently in the Primordial Wilderness, the main cultivation method is the Method of Severing the Three Corpses taught by Hongjun. Although it can lead to becoming a Quasi-Saint, this method has flaws. What I teach is the Way of Laws, which points directly to the origin..."
Kong Xuan listened with rapt attention, his body radiating Five-Colored Divine Light that seemed to merge and unify.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng frowned in deep thought. He was impatient and slow to grasp such profound principles, but each time he gained some insight, he made progress.
Yuanfeng listened quietly. She was already at the peak of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, specializing in the Law of Fire, and had already gained some understanding of it.
In addition to preaching the Dao, Tongtian often came to visit.
After returning to Golden Ao Island and stabilizing the sect, he would come to the Three Immortal Islands once every ten years, sometimes to seek guidance on the laws and insights, and sometimes to discuss the development of the Interception Sect.
Lin Tian patiently explained, "The core of the Interception Sect's doctrine is to seize every last chance for survival. True cohesion lies not in rules, but in the shared understanding of the Great Dao."
Tongtian seemed to be deep in thought.
Lin Tian continued, "Now that you have forged your own path, the Jie Sect Disciple should follow suit. Only when all talents flourish can we withstand the trials and tribulations of this great calamity."
Time flies, and a century has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, more commotion was heard from outside the island.
"Dao Venerable! We've come to see you!"
The person arrived before the voice.
Chang Xi's voice broke the island's tranquility.
As Lin Tian stepped out of the courtyard, he saw Chang Xi skipping and hopping towards him, followed by Xi He, dressed in white.
Chang Xi remained as lively as ever, and her cultivation had reached the late stage of the Primordial Origin Golden Immortal, a remarkably rapid advancement.
But what truly surprised Lin Tian was Xi He.
Xi He and cold, her white robes as white as snow, and the Primordial Dao Rhythm constantly flowed around her, indicating that she had already reached the third Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm!
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xi He," Lin Tian said sincerely.
Xi He bowed slightly. "I must thank the Dao Venerable for his guidance back then. The Yin and Yang are inherently mutually generating and restraining; once this principle is understood, cultivation will naturally follow."
Chang Xi sidled up to Lin Tian, blinking her eyes, "Dao Venerable, look, I brought my sister along too! She said she's been wanting to thank you in person!"
A hint of shyness flashed across Xi He's face, but she quickly regained her composure. "Chang Xi is mischievous, please forgive her, Dao Venerable. I have come here for two reasons: first, to express my gratitude, and second, to discuss Chang Xi's future."
Lin Tian invited the two to sit down in the courtyard.
Yuanfeng and the others gathered around upon hearing the commotion.
Chang Xi's eyes lit up when she saw Yuanfeng: "Senior Yuanfeng is here too! And Kong Xuan and Little Peng Bird, they've all grown so much!"
Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Great Peng quickly bowed.
Everyone took their seats, Little Deer prepared tea for the guests.
Chang Xi, acting all familiar, was immediately surprised to see Six-Eared Macaque, exclaiming, "I never expected Six-Eared Macaque to have broken through to the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal!"
Six-Eared Macaque chuckled, "Chang Xi, your strength hasn't improved much! Have you been slacking off?"
Six-Eared Macaque had known Chang Xi for a while and knew her personality; she was usually playful and didn't cultivate much.
Chang Xi sat casually on the stone bench, "What's the point of cultivation? It's fine as it is now. With my sister and the Dao Venerable here, who in the Primordial Wilderness would dare to bully me!"
After saying that, she grabbed Xi He's arm and shook it playfully, "Hehe, sister, don't you think so?"
"You!"
Xi He was helpless with her younger sister. "How many times have I told you? The Great Dao is to become strong yourself, but you just won't listen."
This is exactly what Xi He has been struggling with. She's talked to Chang Xi about it a lot, but Changxi just won't listen.
Left with no other choice, she took Chang Xi down to the Primordial Wilderness to find the Dao Venerable, hoping Dao Venerable could guide Chang Xi.
"Oh dear, sister..."
Chang Xi continued to act coquettishly, making those around her laugh.
"Still has the personality of a little girl!"
Lin Tian shook his head at this, but he already had a plan in mind.
At worst, when Human Way produces Primordial Chaos Purple Qi, we can bestow a strand upon Chang Xi to help her become Human Dao Saint.
