Zhao Gongming frowned deeply, surveying the chaotic scene below, his voice booming like muffled thunder:
"What my elder sister says is absolutely right. We possess the pure energy of heaven and earth, and our hearts are clear and bright. We should be seeking the supreme Dharma to uphold and strengthen ourselves. If we are hesitant and timid, we will easily be taken advantage of by Calamity Qi. Moreover, how can ordinary calamities invade the place where the Heavenly Venerable sits? Let's go to the island!"
With piercing eyes, the wind and clouds beneath his feet suddenly accelerated, carrying his three younger sisters, transforming into a Pure Light, crossing layers of turbid waves, and steadily landing on the white jade shore formed by countless profound runes at the edge of Yingzhou Immortal Island.
He carefully chose a relatively quiet corner of the reef, where the clouds swirled and concealed his figure. He quietly watched the celestial palace open and the Daoist aura flow, concealing his own aura as inconspicuous as the most inconspicuous rock on the shore.
The time spent waiting passed in anxiety and anticipation; a thousand years seemed like a snap of the fingers.
Finally, some invisible scale between heaven and earth was precisely reached.
The clear spring of the Great Dao that had flowed around the Chuyuan Palace for thousands of years suddenly emitted an unprecedentedly clear and melodious sound. The Xuan Huang Sun hanging high above the palace gate suddenly burst forth with unprecedented brilliance from the profound Dao patterns within it, as if billions of stars had instantly illuminated its core!
The entire Yingzhou Immortal Island trembled violently, and boundless Xuanhuang Qi surged and permeated the air, imbuing every corner of the island with unparalleled sacredness.
"The time has come!"
A clear, childlike voice, imbued with a strange Daoist charm, seemed to emanate from the very source of the Great Dao, instantly piercing through immeasurable distances and clearly imprinting itself deep within the hearts of every living being both on and off the island!
The two colossal gates of the towering Chuyuan Palace, which had been tightly closed for countless years, silently opened inward.
It was not a thunderous roar, but rather like the first breath at the beginning of the universe—light and natural, yet carrying the immense power to divide the primordial chaos and establish order.
Countless rays of divine light, both Xuan Huang, intertwined to form an endless curtain of light, pouring out from the open gate and cleansing the entire world.
In the center of the doorway, where light and shadow flowed, stood two small figures side by side.
They still possessed the delicate, childlike appearance of sculpted jade, yet the thousand years of bathing in the divine sunlight and the clear spring of the Great Dao had already brought about an indescribable transformation within them.
Above Yuan Lian's head, the illusory image of the Nine-Petal azure lotus not only had a deeper and more flowing Xuan Huang color at its edges, but the tiny divine sun projection in the lotus heart, the size of a grain of rice, was now pulsating as if it had a life of its own. With each contraction and expansion, it caused the endless vitality in the surrounding space to surge and ripple.
The Yuan Yu radiates a pure and luminous light that seems to penetrate all illusions and reveal the profound truths of the flow of all things.
What is most eye-catching is still the mark between their eyebrows—the original mark originating from the Xuanhuang Dao Lotus Platform. After a thousand years of Daoist nurturing, although it is still small, it has been condensed into a solid golden crystal. Inside, there seems to be a galaxy rotating and a strange scene of chaos being created and destroyed, exuding a majesty that even Taiyi Golden Immortals need to concentrate and hold their breath.
The innocent and curious expression of the infant from a thousand years ago remains, yet it has been tempered with an indescribable clarity and insight.
His gaze swept over the dark mass of Primordial Wilderness beings before the palace gates, each with its own unique form, some even ferocious and menacing. Like the rising sun illuminating the mountains and rivers, he felt neither joy nor fear, only a serene tranquility that embraced all things.
Joy and curiosity remain pure, but they are no longer blind.
The small, tender hand reached out, not in a playful attempt to capture the flowing Daoist rhythm from a thousand years ago, but gently brushing against the Xuan Huang light curtain flowing on both sides of the palace gate.
"Open the door to welcome fellow Daoists."
Yuan Yu's voice was like a clear spring striking jade, while Yuan Lian's voice was like the wind blowing through a blue lotus.
The two childlike voices merged together, resonating in a wondrous way, like the first celestial decree at the dawn of Great Dao, filled with an undeniable power of order.
Buzz--
The instant the sound faded, invisible ripples of Daoist energy swept across the entire white jade plaza, centered on the gate of the Chuyuan Palace, and over every Primordial Wilderness being who was eagerly awaiting their arrival.
This ripple, though formless and intangible, possessed the power of purification and cleansing. The Malevolent Qi was soothed, the demonic atmosphere was cleansed, and the turbid energy of calamity quietly dissipated, much of it dissipating like snow meeting the sun.
All the clamor, restlessness, and murderous thoughts were gently soothed as if by a tender yet absolute hand.
The bloodlust churning in the eyes of countless ferocious and monstrous Primordial Wilderness beasts miraculously faded, revealing a moment of bewilderment followed by an infant-like clarity. They involuntarily quieted down and prostrated themselves on the ground.
The entire chaotic Yingzhou Island instantly fell into an unprecedented, almost frozen, peaceful tranquility under the innocent voices and movements of the two young Daoist boys.
The Great Dao are the simplest, returning to one's true nature, and the heart of a child truly possesses the boundless mystery to soothe the Primordial Wilderness Malevolent Qi!
"Enter!"
"Enter!"
The two boys spoke at the same time, their voices not loud, yet they seemed to carry a commanding power that transcended time and space.
The restraints were instantly lifted!
The frozen tranquility was shattered, and what followed was a torrent that had been building up for millennia, like the Big Bang!
The Chuyuan Palace, which had stood for millions of years, opened their arms to all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness for the first time.
Inside the gate lies a wondrous world where a tangible Daoist aura flows through a clear spring, and Xuan Huang radiance permeates the air like mist. It is the supreme immortal scripture that points directly to the Grand Unity Dao Fruit, and the only safe haven amidst the Tribulation storm!
"Charge--!"
The path to enlightenment is right before us!
"May the Heavenly Venerable have mercy!"
A frenzied roar, screams, and a mixture of ancient, Primordial Wilderness language and tearful cries of gratitude erupted in an instant, merging into a sonic tidal wave that engulfed heaven and earth!
All living beings, whether demons, immortals, monsters, or ancient beasts, forgot their animosity and differences in form at this moment, leaving only the most primal and pure yearning for the Great Dao.
They transformed into torrents of five colors and various shapes, surging wildly toward the open, colossal gate that flowed with Xuan Huang.
Dragons and snakes slithered and jostled to enter, giant birds folded their wings and transformed into streaks of light to pierce through, colossal mountain spirits contracted their forms and pushed forward with all their might, and aquatic creatures rode the waves at breakneck speed...
Countless figures collided, squeezed, and even briefly clashed before the palace gates, only to be silently separated and straightened by the Xuan Huang Daoist aura hanging from the gates, just as a river rushing into the sea eventually returned to order.
The small reef that sheltered the four siblings was also swept away by the raging torrent.
Zhao Gongming raised his thick eyebrows, and a burst of Pure Light emanated from his body, protecting his three sisters like a reef.
"Follow me closely!"
With a low roar, the tiger's roar stirred up the wind and clouds beneath its feet. Facing the oncoming impact of all spirits, it forcefully squeezed open a rift, like a giant ship sailing against the current, steadily and firmly protecting its three sisters, and crashed into the mysterious Xuan Huang halo of the gate.
Yunxiao's fingers continued to form hand seals, and a faint sign of impending Calamity Qi flashed in her clear eyes, only to be suppressed by an even more resolute light of seeking the Dao.
Beneath the surging, rushing feet of the myriad spirits, in the damp, cold crevices of the enormous tortoise shell, the Six-Eared Macaque clenched its six ears tightly, almost embedding its entire body into the rough patterns of the tortoise shell.
