Daoist Duobao smiled faintly and hurriedly returned the salute. "I am Duobao. Junior Brother Changsheng, you are too courteous."
As the two looked at each other, Gu Changsheng saw the data Daoist Duobao transmitted.
"Name: Daoist Duobao!" "Cultivation: Golden Immortal Perfection" "Combat Power: 156000" "Status: Slightly fatigued!"
Gu Changsheng knew that although the Interception Sect's main peak of Biyou Palace was also located in Kunlun alongside Jade Void Palace,
Kunlun was vast beyond measure.
Jade Void Palace and Biyou Palace were separated by tens of millions of li.
Thus, Daoist Duobao and the others had grown somewhat weary after traveling all the way on clouds and mist.
In truth, the Three Pure Ones had accepted disciples at different times.
Back then, Saint Taiqing had attained sainthood, established the Human Sect, and taken Xuan Du as his disciple.
Xuan Du was humble and also addressed Gu Changsheng as Dao Brother.
Yuanshi and Tongtian had attained sainthood on the same day, each establishing a sect and accepting disciples.
However, Primordial Heavenly Venerate's trials were far more complicated than Sect Leader Tongtian's.
Therefore, when Daoist Duobao entered Tongtian's sect, Gu Changsheng had only just stepped through the Heavenly Gate and entered the Daoist grounds.
"Daoist Duobao, if you are tired, please come into the palace for a chat."
Gu Changsheng nodded with a smile and invited the Interception Sect members, along with Xuan Du, to head toward Jade Void Palace.
By the time they arrived at Jade Void Palace, the Three Pure Ones had already vanished without a trace.
As the Chan Sect's Chief Disciple, Gu Changsheng naturally took it upon himself to receive them.
"Thank you."
Daoist Duobao sat down cross-legged.
After rushing all the way here, he truly was exhausted.
Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Turtle Spirit Holy Mother, and the others also saluted Gu Changsheng together.
Gu Changsheng returned the salute. "You junior sisters have also worked hard."
In truth, Gu Changsheng had already noticed.
Apart from Golden Spirit Holy Mother, who held a trace of respect for him,
Holy Mother Wudang and Turtle Spirit Holy Mother both revealed faintly arrogant expressions.
These Holy Mothers had all been transformed from the demon race and enlightened by Sect Leader Tongtian, becoming the Interception Sect's eight great disciples.
Now, the demon race ruled the heavens and was unstoppable, already resembling one of the great powers of the Primordial World.
This had made many great demons arrogant, causing them to look down on everyone else.
Gu Changsheng and Xuan Du both saw all of this.
Since Gu Changsheng already harbored hatred toward the demon race, he did not care.
Xuan Du, however, smiled and said, "Dao Brother Changsheng, let me introduce a few more people to you."
"Alright."
Gu Changsheng nodded and watched as Xuan Du brought Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao over to pay their respects.
"I, Zhao Gongming, along with Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, greet Dao Brother Changsheng."
Gu Changsheng returned their salute. "You have all worked hard traveling here."
Yunxiao and the other Three Xiao exchanged glances, then could not help looking at Gu Changsheng again.
This Dao Brother Changsheng truly was extraordinary. No wonder he was the Chan Sect's Chief Disciple.
The Three Xiao immediately felt inferior.
In truth, these disciples of the Three Sects were meeting for the first time.
Thus, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, they began secretly competing with one another.
Daoist Duobao, Guang Chengzi, and the others had all entered the Golden Immortal realm.
Some Chan Sect disciples and Interception Sect disciples began to take a dislike to one another.
Juliusun and Daoist Cihang, in particular, were deliberately provoking them.
If Gu Changsheng had not rebuked them, they would have started fighting long ago.
Xuan Du gently shook his head at the sight.
Gu Changsheng was speechless.
Could it be that the Chan Sect and Interception Sect were born to be mortal enemies?
Even after Xuan Du's introductions, none of them was willing to accept the others.
Fortunately, Gu Changsheng did not care about this.
Right now, he still needed to cultivate diligently and strive to enter the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm.
Just as the Interception Sect and Chan Sect disciples were competing against one another,
a voice that seemed to come from the end of the River of Time suddenly resounded above Jade Void Palace, shaking the surrounding lands.
At the same time, vast saintly might descended and suppressed everything.
Gu Changsheng and the others hurried out of Jade Void Palace.
At the peak of the Sky Dome, above the Azure Nether, a saintly phantom riding a blue ox appeared.
Xuan Du stepped forward and hurriedly saluted him. "This disciple greets Master."
Gu Changsheng and the other Chan Sect disciples also saluted together. "Greetings, Martial Uncle Taiqing!"
In the void, Saint Taiqing's Voice resounded.
"You may dispense with the formalities."
"Starting today, I shall preach the Dao for you."
Whether they were Chan Sect disciples or Interception Sect disciples,
all of them revealed looks of delight.
Saint Taiqing was going to preach the Dao for them?
What would Saint Taiqing teach them?
Some Chan Sect disciples and Interception Sect disciples could not help but speculate.
"This disciple shall remember."
Gu Changsheng stepped forward and saluted respectfully.
The Chan Sect disciples and Interception Sect disciples all followed suit, saluting the saintly phantom.
Ding! Saint Taiqing's Dao lecture has been detected. The system has automatically activated storage mode!
Gu Changsheng revealed a gratified expression.
The Primordial System understood him best after all.
The disciples of the Three Sects sat cross-legged upon the Daoist grounds.
In the void, Saint Taiqing opened his saintly mouth. His Saint's Voice was vast and mighty, shaking past and present!
"Primordial Chaos: heaven and earth first divided, yin and yang gave rise to creation, and all things possessed spirit."
"The primordial beginning is the origin of chaos. Chaos existed before heaven and earth stood apart. Taking the primordial beginning as the ancestor, heaven and earth were first divided, yin and yang were harmonized, the five elements were established, and the forty transformations were separated, giving rise to all things..."
At the Jade Void Palace's Daoist grounds, heavenly flowers fell in profusion while golden lotuses surged from the earth.
Saint Taiqing's Voice was vast and mighty, enveloping countless trillions of lands.
Such profound sounds of the Great Dao were accompanied by the continuous emergence of Heavenly Dao's might.
Upon the Daoist grounds, the disciples of the Three Sects bowed their heads and listened.
Gu Changsheng immediately felt that the wondrous teachings were extraordinary, as though heaven and earth had been veiled.
The Saint's Voice seemed to ring out from the end of the River of Time, shaking past, present, and future.
All beings with intelligence prostrated themselves upon the ground.
Gu Changsheng knew even more clearly that the path of Saint Taiqing was the Way of Non-action.
"Compared to Master's Dao lectures, Martial Uncle Taiqing emphasizes that Dao follows nature."
At this moment, the Saint's Voice was vast and mighty, and the saintly words shook heaven and earth.
In an instant, two profound currents of yin and yang manifested above the Azure Nether and the Daoist grounds.
At this moment, myriad rays of rosy light filled heaven and earth, while thousands of auspicious vapors streamed through the air.
Five-colored divine radiance illuminated the mountains, rivers, and lands.
In an instant, a golden bridge appeared, seemingly spanning the Primordial World from Kunlun's peak.
At the same time, Gu Changsheng and the others seemed to be standing at the beginning of chaos, before all things had been born.
Within the Endless Chaos void, a phantom of a green lotus that pierced through boundless space evolved supreme wondrous teachings.
Non-action!
This was Saint Taiqing's Dao.
On the Daoist grounds, the disciples were utterly entranced, immersed in the Dao teachings.
