Primordial Era: Downloading Saint Cultivation at the Start

The various introductions to divine abilities flashed through his mind, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but click his tongue in admiration. These abilities were truly powerful.

The Seventy-two Earthly Transformations didn't need much explanation; this divine ability shone brightly through Sun Wukong in the later Journey to the West.

Vastness in Inches was the ultimate speed divine ability for chasing or escaping.

Manifestation of Heaven and Earth could also enhance his offensive methods...

Besides these, the other divine abilities were also very useful. It could be said that with these five divine abilities, Jiang Chen's many shortcomings were instantly compensated for.

Just as Jiang Chen was marveling at the power of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, Yuan Shi had already recovered from his embarrassment.

However, even so, he still showed no sign of admitting defeat. He even looked at Jiang Chen and said petulantly, "Jiang Chen, you tell me, whose Dao is right – mine or your Master's!"

Clearly, Yuan Shi was furious and determined to get a clear answer.

His words not only pulled Jiang Chen back from his surprise but also caused Tongtian and Laozi to look at him silently, as if wanting to see how he would answer.

Stared at by three pairs of eyes, Jiang Chen felt a pain in his balls.

Why are you two elders arguing and putting me, a junior, in such a difficult position? And is this something that can be answered casually? Choosing one will inevitably offend the other.

Thinking this, Jiang Chen decided not to answer, letting them stare at him without saying a word.

However, the Three Pure Ones were not so easily fooled. They continued to stare at Jiang Chen, as if they would keep doing so if he didn't reply.

Helpless, Jiang Chen knew he couldn't avoid answering. In a moment of urgency, he blurted out:

"In my opinion, both Master's and my Martial Uncles' Dao are wrong!"

"In my opinion, both Master's and my Martial Uncles' Dao are wrong!"

BOOM!

The moment Jiang Chen finished speaking, a thunderclap sounded out of nowhere!

The Three Pure Ones were all stunned!

They never expected Jiang Chen to answer like this. According to their predictions, Jiang Chen should have said that Tongtian's Dao was correct, as he was Tongtian's disciple and would naturally lean towards him.

But the result completely exceeded everyone's expectations. Jiang Chen not only negated the Dao of Tongtian and Yuan Shi but also that of Laozi, who was watching idly!

All three were wrong!

In an instant, the surrounding atmosphere froze, and the tension reached its peak!

Tongtian, Yuan Shi, and Laozi's expressions changed drastically. They stared intently at Jiang Chen, their gazes sharp.

It was as if they would not let him off unless he provided a satisfactory answer.

This was only because Jiang Chen was Tongtian's disciple. If it were anyone else, they would likely have been blasted to death by the Three Pure Ones long ago.

An invisible pressure bore down on him, and Jiang Chen felt utterly miserable. If only I had known, I wouldn't have come out.

But since things had come to this, he couldn't completely retreat. He could only brace himself and continue, "May I ask Master and Martial Uncles, what is Dao?"

As his voice fell, the Three Pure Ones exchanged glances.

Then, Tongtian's bold voice rang out first.

"The Heavenly Dao produces fifty, but only forty-nine are used, and one is allowed to escape. Seizing that one that escapes is my Dao!"

As Tongtian's Dao was spoken, celestial phenomena followed.

In an instant, it was as if an invisible giant hand reached into the highest heavens!

Then, another voice spoke.

Yuan Shi: "From the moment all beings are born, their lives are already determined. Some are mediocre, while others are born with great destiny. My Dao is to expound the ultimate principles of the Heavenly Dao to those with great destiny!"

As he spoke, countless golden lotuses emerged from the ground, lifting Yuan Shi up, accompanied by multicolored rays of light, as if Yuan Shi himself were one of those with great destiny!

Finally.

Laozi: "The Dao follows nature and acts in accordance with the Heavenly Dao."

Unlike Tongtian and Yuan Shi, Laozi's words were very simple, and there were no grand phenomena.

But after hearing it, everyone knew what kind of Dao Laozi followed: inaction and conforming to the Heavenly Dao.

Thus, the Three Pure Ones revealed their respective Daos.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"

After listening, Jiang Chen shook his head, negating them all.

Hearing this, the Three Pure Ones' expressions changed again.

If they could blame Jiang Chen for being ignorant the first time they were denied, then after they had all revealed their Daos and were denied twice, the Three Pure Ones were clearly displeased.

However, before they could speak, Jiang Chen spoke first.

"Red flowers, white lotus roots, and green lotus leaves; the Three Teachings are originally one family! The Three Pure Ones are one body, so who is wrong?"

Jiang Chen sighed.

When an expert makes a move, you know if they've got it.

Upon hearing the first sentence, the Three Pure Ones' expressions changed drastically. After hearing the rest, they became even paler.

The three teachings are originally one family!

The Three Pure Ones are one!

That's right, Jiang Chen is correct, they were wrong!

But at this moment, Jiang Chen had not stopped.

He calmly glanced at the Three Pure Ones and said lightly, "What I walk is the Great Dao!"

This time, he did not answer the Three Pure Ones directly, but instead spoke of the path he intended to take.

BOOM!

As soon as the word "Dao" was spoken, a thunderclap erupted.

It not only echoed throughout the heavens and earth but also struck the hearts of each of the Three Pure Ones, all three looking utterly shocked!

"Great Dao????"

"Great Dao!!!!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Three Pure Ones became unpredictable, their lips murmuring to themselves.

In an instant, their reactions varied, their faces shifting from terror to frowns to immense joy, as if they had fallen into a trance!

Seeing this, Jiang Chen, who had previously understood the Three Pure Ones' sermon after consuming the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, knew they had entered a state of enlightenment. He immediately retreated to the side, not daring to disturb them.

That's right.

The Nine-Turn Golden Elixir had already been eaten by Jiang Chen.

There was no other way, as the opportunity to hear a Saint preach was rare, let alone three Saints.

However, to Jiang Chen's disappointment, while he could understand what the Three Pure Ones were saying initially, he lost comprehension when they began discussing the path of a Saint. To avoid missing out on this chance, he had no choice but to use the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to aid him.

Fortunately, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir lived up to its reputation as something refined by the Saint Laozi. It quickly plunged him into enlightenment, and during this state, he managed to grasp a portion of the Saint's path the Three Pure Ones were discussing.

It was precisely because of this that Jiang Chen's strength had broken through so significantly. Otherwise, the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, whose primary function was enlightenment, would have only served to stabilize his strength at his current realm.

"Great Dao? Great Dao! We were indeed wrong!"

After a long while, the Three Pure Ones emerged from their enlightenment. Although their words admitted their mistake, there was no trace of dejection in their demeanor; instead, their faces were filled with smiles!

This enlightenment had brought them immense gains. Not only had their combat power increased once more, but more importantly, their understanding of the Dao had reached new depths!

One must understand that at the Saint level, increasing one's strength was incredibly difficult, and deepening one's comprehension of the Dao was even more so. After all, the gap between Saints was no longer measured by great divine abilities or immense magical power, but by the degree of their comprehension of the Dao!

The deeper one's comprehension of the Dao, the stronger they became!

Now, having reaped such great rewards, how could they still maintain their composure as Saints? Their demeanor had completely broken, their faces beaming with joy!

Of course, they had not forgotten that all of this was thanks to Jiang Chen.

As if sharing a telepathic connection, the Three Pure Ones exchanged a knowing glance, then cupped their hands together towards Jiang Chen and spoke in unison:

"The one who teaches is the master. Today, we thank you for your guidance!"

Jiang Chen was overwhelmed with surprise and became somewhat flustered.

This was the Three Pure Ones, the three great Saints, the top powers of the Primordial Era!

Yet, beings of such stature were acting in this manner.

He believed that if anyone were to witness this, they would undoubtedly be utterly astonished.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen quickly regained his composure. Facing the Three Pure Ones, he returned their salutations one by one: "Master and Martial Uncle, please do not be like this. This was merely some of my humble insights, not worthy of such attention..."

"Even your insights have benefited us greatly? Junior Brother, I've grown rather fond of this disciple of yours. Why don't you trade him to me?"

Before he could finish speaking, Yuanshi interrupted, even adding with a playful tone.

Top-tier talent, knowledgeable and principled, unafraid in the face of Saints, and even daring to challenge them...

All these qualities combined made it difficult for Yuanshi not to be moved by such a disciple!
