Profound Mysteries; Storage Mode!

In the void, Primordial Heavenly Venerate nodded slightly.

In an instant, a voice that seemed to come from the end of the River of Time resounded outside Jade Void Palace!

Profound Mysteries, Storage Mode!

Before Jade Void Palace, beneath the Sky Dome.

That vast and towering phantom illuminated all heavens.

Across the Primordial World, countless lands trembled in response.

In an instant, wondrous flowers rained down like clouds.

Above the Azure Nether, celestial melodies swirled with the light.

Upon the Daoist grounds, golden lotuses bloomed one after another.

Immortal music drifted through the air, and fragrance filled the surroundings.

Gu Changsheng and the other Chan Sect disciples seemed to empty their minds, immersing themselves in this ethereal mystery.

"Let all karmic ties fall silent. Let no outer thoughts enter, no inner thoughts arise. Do not give rise to a single thought; forget all things. Gather the ear's resonance, contain the eye's light, seal the tongue's qi, regulate the breath, preserve the spirit and steady the will, guarding within with a single heart!"

"Three and five meld together, the Three Origins converge, harmonizing the Four Symbols. The Five Qi return to the Origin, the Three Flowers Gather Atop the Head. Return to the source and restore the origin, return life to its root, and let all spirits return as one."

"The true Saint merges with the Great Void, the Great Void merges with true emptiness, true emptiness merges with natural nothingness, and natural nothingness is Yuanshi's true unity..."

Saint Yuanshi's Voice continued to ring out, making Gu Changsheng and the others feel as though they were witnessing all manner of strange phenomena in the void.

Above the Sky Dome, auspicious clouds evolved into all kinds of spells and divine abilities.

Gu Changsheng and the others could all see that their master was demonstrating the various divine abilities within the Jade Purity Immortal Art for his disciples.

Streams of mysterious aura shrouded the space above the Daoist grounds.

"This is the Thirty-Six Transformations of Heavenly Gang passed down by the Dao Ancestor. Within them are also the spells and divine abilities I have comprehended."

"Remember them well!"

A mysterious voice suddenly rose, its Mighty Saintly Might shaking the Daoist grounds.

Everyone focused their minds and calmed their breaths, utterly entranced.

This observation session truly was rather rushed.

Ding, would the host like to activate Storage Mode?

Storage Mode?

Gu Changsheng's expression brightened slightly.

The Primordial System truly understood his needs.

Whatever he thought of, it provided.

If he stored the Dao teachings his master was explaining, along with the Thirty-Six Transformations of Heavenly Gang and all those divine abilities and spells one by one—

then it would be much easier to comprehend them later.

This was far more useful than trying to comprehend them on the spot.

After all, even someone blessed with extraordinary talent and heaven-defying aptitude—

could never memorize all of this in such a short time.

And with his current cultivation realm, comprehending even one divine ability was already quite difficult.

Much less thoroughly mastering every one of these divine abilities and spells.

That would be harder than climbing to the heavens.

Moreover, even Guang Chengzi and the others could not possibly remember everything.

Some disciples were already growing anxious.

That was why Gu Changsheng was overjoyed.

"Activate!"

Ding, real-time storage activated. Analyzing and recording!

With Storage Mode, a cluster of profound mysteries seemed to form within Gu Changsheng's sea of consciousness.

Whenever Gu Changsheng wished to comprehend them, he could activate Storage Mode. The recorded spells, divine abilities, and the Saint's Voice would then appear one by one, as if he were personally present.

Gu Changsheng planned to properly study the Thirty-Six Transformations of Heavenly Gang once the sermon was over.

After all, merely comprehending the Mastery of Five Thunders Divine Ability had taken him a hundred years.

And that was not even the most difficult part.

Gu Changsheng stored the Thirty-Six Transformations of Heavenly Gang for future use.

He could not possibly learn only this one divine ability.

As the Primordial System stored and replicated everything, Gu Changsheng immersed himself in the Saint's Voice.

When a Saint delivered a sermon, heavenly flowers fell in profusion and golden lotuses surged from the earth.

Those golden lotuses descended from the sky one after another.

Some entered Gu Changsheng's body.

Boundless dharma power was contained within those golden lotuses.

Gu Changsheng immediately felt his cultivation rising without cease.

His entire being was like a tide, absorbing the profound Dao principles taught by his master into his body one by one.

Like a furnace cauldron, Gu Changsheng absorbed boundless dharma power and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng's body shuddered. Under the impact of that boundless dharma power and profound mysteries, he had broken through the bottleneck of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

At that moment, Gu Changsheng stepped into the True Immortal realm.

Rumble!

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi continuously gathered and poured in.

The golden lotuses continuously merged and entered Gu Changsheng's glabella.

Rumble!

Early True Immortal realm!

Mid True Immortal realm!

Gu Changsheng's body emitted the unique radiance of the True Immortal realm.

But at the same time, a vast aura also surged from Guang Chengzi beside him.

Even more terrifyingly, that surging aura shook heaven and earth, making them resonate in unison.

Brilliant rays of light seemed to envelop Guang Chengzi.

Rumble!

Another deafening boom rang out. A faint dragon's roar sounded from Guang Chengzi's body, resonating with heaven and earth.

His aura also spread outward, causing Gu Changsheng's expression to shift slightly.

Could Guang Chengzi have broken through?

Gu Changsheng was astonished, but immediately felt that it must be so.

And the data displayed for Guang Chengzi confirmed his guess.

Golden Immortal!

Guang Chengzi had broken through and entered the Golden Immortal realm.

Gu Changsheng, who had just been secretly delighted over breaking through to the True Immortal realm, was rendered speechless at that moment.

He had cultivated for a hundred years and already reached the mid True Immortal realm.

Yet before he could even celebrate, the exceptionally gifted Guang Chengzi had broken through to the Golden Immortal realm during the Saint's Sermon.

"As the Chief Disciple of the Chan Sect, my cultivation is actually lower than Guang Chengzi's. The pressure is enormous!"

However, Gu Changsheng was not discouraged.

Instead, it made him cultivate even more diligently.

"Although Guang Chengzi has entered the Golden Immortal realm, I have the Primordial System. Given time, I will certainly break through to the Golden Immortal realm as well. Then I will be able to catch up to Guang Chengzi."

Although his cultivation was currently inferior to Guang Chengzi's—

he would certainly surpass him in the future.

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly, feeling that this was only natural.

A Saint's Sermon contained profound Dao teachings.

Of those who could become the Twelve Golden Immortals, which one was not a person of heaven-defying talent?

Since he, Gu Changsheng, had broken through—

how could junior brothers like Guang Chengzi fail to break through as well?

With a thought, Gu Changsheng continued observing.

In truth, it was not only Guang Chengzi. The next to break through were Chijingzi and Grand Unity True Person.

Grand Unity True Person in particular had a breakthrough aura even stronger than Guang Chengzi's when he entered the Golden Immortal realm.

That vast aura directly triggered dramatic changes in heaven and earth.

Gu Changsheng showed a hint of delight.

Quite a few of these junior brothers had broken through.

After Chijingzi broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, he too opened his immortal eyes.

This time, among the Chan Sect disciples, three disciples—Guang Chengzi, Chijingzi, and Grand Unity True Person—broke through into the Golden Immortal realm.
