Comprehending and Connecting the Yin-Yang Great Dao

The voice of Dao Ancestor Hongjun slowly resounded within the solemn and majestic Purple Firmament Palace, each word seemingly containing the ultimate principles of the cosmos, stirring resonance from the Great Dao:

"The Great Dao is nameless, Chaos is its mother; Before forms arise, the Mysterious Female is the door. Time and space not yet established, I hold the past and present; Three bodies return to origin, this is called the Great Luo Ancestor. Superior scholars hear the Dao, diligently cultivate the Three Flowers; Average scholars hear the Dao, now present, now lost; Inferior scholars hear the Dao, laugh loudly in frivolity. Without laughter, it is insufficient to attest to the Dao's chapter. Essence condenses into jade stamens, Qi pierces golden stems, Spirit blooms purple calyxes. The flower opens to Nine Petals, can touch the Mixed Yuan Dao. Gather the past, like a river standing firm on a pillar; Anchor the future, like stars fixing the celestial path. All things arise together, I observe their return; In the long river of time and space, stand alone as the crossing. Hold and fill it, better to let it go; Sharpen and point it, cannot be long preserved. Great Luo is not about contention; Virtue resides in its essence. The Dao, empty yet used, seems the ancestor of all things; Blunt its entanglements, clarify its time and space; Harmonize its light and dust, unite with its Chaos. The Mysterious Gate has opened, freedom is endless..."

The Dao's sound was vast and boundless, and within Purple Firmament Palace, heavenly flowers rained down, golden lotuses surged from the earth, and infinite Dao rhythms spread, drawing the Three Thousand listeners into a profound and mysterious state of enlightenment...

Within Purple Firmament Palace, the Three Thousand Mortal Guests were immersed in the profound sound of the Dao.

Qing Huan sat cross-legged on a front-row cushion, his mind and spirit already merged with the Dao sound.

Suddenly, Qing Huan's body trembled slightly, his eyes tightly shut, and his entire being entered a mysterious state of enlightenment!

A faint light seemed to flow at his brow, and within his body, a Seven Symbols Treasure Umbrella uncontrollably emerged!

Hum—

An indescribable Dao rhythm instantly spread, drawing countless gazes.

A simple, ancient umbrella, the Seven Symbols Treasure Umbrella, imbued with endless mystery, slowly rose from above Qing Huan's head and hovered silently!

The umbrella's surface flowed with a Chaos Hue, its ribs like seven pillars supporting the heavens, faintly outlining the seven primal images of Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Yin, and Yang.

Most astonishingly, it radiated an incomparably dense and pure Law of the Great Dao of Yin-Yang!

This law was not static but flowed like a living thing, swirling around Qing Huan, intertwining, and finally transforming into two massive, head-to-tail Yin-Yang Fish!

The fish rotated slowly, forming a perfect Taiji shape. Each rotation pulled at the Dao rhythms within Purple Firmament Palace, triggering deeper resonance with the laws, as if the umbrella itself was the physical manifestation of the Yin-Yang Great Dao!

"Hm?!"

At this moment, every Innate Deity who cultivated laws related to Yin-Yang or the Five Elements felt a stir, abruptly opening their Dao eyes, their gazes burning as they fixed on the source at the very front—Qing Huan!

"Sigh... this is?!"

"So complete! So primal!"

"An Innate Supreme Treasure! Absolutely an Innate Supreme Treasure! Only a flawless Innate Supreme Treasure can spontaneously generate a complete Great Dao law!"

This was common knowledge in the Primordial Wilderness, surfacing in the minds of every great power.

In an instant, countless gazes converged on Qing Huan—or more precisely, on the umbrella above his head, radiating supreme Yin-Yang Dao rhythm.

Their expressions instantly became incredibly vivid.

There was pure envy, praising Heaven's favor; barely concealed jealousy, resenting why fortune had not fallen on themselves; and deep in their eyes, a stirring greed—

This was an Innate Supreme Treasure representing a complete Yin-Yang Great Dao! Its value was immeasurable!

The Three Pure Ones' leader, Grand Pure One Laozi, whose Dao was precisely Yin-Yang, sat slightly behind and to the side of Qing Huan. His face, usually as calm as an ancient well, now rippled with a faint trace of emotion.

His profound gaze swept over the Seven Symbols Treasure Umbrella, first showing understanding:

"So that's it. I previously sensed its extraordinary aura and only took it for a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure...

After all, Daoist Friend Qing Huan's original form is also a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root that has undergone Transformation, so having such a companion treasure is reasonable..."

Then, this understanding quickly turned into a faint yet utterly genuine envy.

"An Innate Supreme Treasure... to think it could ascend from a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

"The profound mystery within—I know not either..."

As the thought turned in his mind, Grand Pure One Laozi was also a decisive man. He immediately composed himself and murmured inwardly, "What a blessed fortune!" He no longer fixated on the Precious Umbrella itself. Instead, borrowing the Yin-Yang Dao resonance that now permeated the entire Purple Firmament Palace—made clearer and more active by the umbrella—he immersed himself once more in Hongjun's Dao Sound. His comprehension speed was even faster than before!

At this moment, Qing Huan's mind had already fully resonated with the Precious Umbrella, the Yin-Yang Great Dao, and Hongjun's lecture. Many of the obscure and hard-to-grasp barriers that had clouded his cultivation like a veil of fog now became crystal clear under the exposition of Hongjun's supreme Dao principles and the vivid evolution of Yin-Yang laws around him.

"So that's it! This is the path of the Great Luo!"

"The foundation of the Dao Fruit lies in thoroughly comprehending one's own laws! All divine abilities stem from this!"

He profoundly realized that among the beings of the Primordial Wilderness, even if they comprehended the same law, the Dao Fruits they ultimately condensed would differ vastly due to their foundations, experiences, and insights. At this moment, his own Yin-Yang Grand Unity Dao Fruit was crystallizing, condensing, and elevating at an unprecedented speed!

Time in the Purple Firmament Palace seemed to flow without measure. What felt like an instant was, in truth, a full twenty million years!

Above Qing Huan's head, the Three Flowers suddenly condensed and manifested! The Heavenly Flower, Earthly Flower, and Human Flower bloomed together, each reaching the ultimate Nine-Petal state, perfectly unfurled! Pure and vast Magic Power surged and roared within his body, battering against the invisible barrier.

"Yin and Yang—the origin of the Primordial Chaos, the root of Creation. One Yin and one Yang constitute the Dao; one firm and one soft constitute Virtue..."

"When Yin and Yang harmonize, all things are born; when Yin and Yang clash, calamity arrives..."

"The Yin-Yang Grand Unity Dao Fruit does not cling to a single extreme. Yang moves and Yin follows; Yin receives and Yang issues forth—like the rotation of the Sun and Moon, like the alternation of day and night..."

"Within Yang lies Yin; within Yin lies Yang—like the Taiji circle, unbroken and endless..."

"One who attains the Dao harmonizes Yin and Yang, blending firmness and softness... able to reshape heaven and earth, overturn the Universe—such is the might of the Yin-Yang Great Luo!"

"Know the white, yet keep to the black—be the model for the world; know the male, yet keep to the female—be the stream for the world. Yin and Yang mutually nourish, and only then can the supreme Dao Fruit be achieved..."

The true essence of the Yin-Yang Great Dao thundered in his heart like a Great Bell and Large Lyre!

"BOOM!!!"

A surge of aura far surpassing his previous level erupted violently from Qing Huan's body! Dense Yin-Yang law force, like a tangible tide, swept outward with him at the center, stirring the Dao resonance within the Purple Firmament Palace!

Mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal achieved!

In that moment, Qing Huan had successfully broken through! He became the first being in the Purple Firmament Palace, during Patriarch Hongjun's lecture, to step into the Mid-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm!

This sight, witnessed by the other great powers, struck them with indescribable shock. Before Hongjun's lecture, although the Primordial Wilderness had Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals (all at the early stage), not a single one knew the path to the mid-stage. Among the three thousand guests of the Purple Firmament Palace, true Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals numbered only a few dozen; the rest were at the peak or late stage of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, able to reach this place only by relying on Innate Spiritual Treasures. Qing Huan had undoubtedly walked ahead of them all!
