Golden Ao Island, Jade Palace.

Tongtian sat at the head of the table, his brow furrowed in deep confusion.

Below him sat the eight direct disciples of the Intercepting Sect. After Sovereign Lord of the Heavens returned, he had summoned his disciples to discuss matters concerning the Human Emperor and Sage Teacher.

"Greetings, Master. Is your furrowed brow due to Martial Uncle Primordial?"

Daoist Duobao inquired.

When their Master had summoned them to the Jade Palace, he had informed them that the discussion regarding the position of Sage Teacher for the Human Race had concluded.

Seeing their Master's perplexed expression now, could it be because of Martial Uncle Primordial?

After all, Primordial Lord of Heaven had always held a prejudice against their Intercepting Sect.

And the Two Sages of the West were hardly good people.

In this matter, it was likely they would make things difficult for their Master.

The other disciples looked at Tongtian, awaiting the outcome.

Tongtian nodded, his expression still puzzled.

After all, in the Palace of Empress Nuwa, he had noticed the change in Primordial.

It was too significant!

Especially Primordial's final words: "Blood is thicker than water."

This had greatly shaken him.

If it were his elder brother from before, he would never have said such a thing.

Now...

What had happened to his elder brother?

Tongtian pondered endlessly. Seeing his eight direct disciples' indignant expressions, he realized they had misunderstood. He immediately smiled and said, "Do not misunderstand."

"Today, your Martial Uncle Primordial did something exceptionally good. When you see your Martial Uncle Primordial in the future, you must show him respect."

Then, Tongtian briefly recounted the events of the day in the Palace of Empress Nuwa.

Instantly, the eight disciples were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

Martial Uncle Primordial had actually helped the Intercepting Sect!

And he said that beings only had differences in their origins, not in their status or nobility.

Was this still their Martial Uncle Primordial?

How could he be so different from their impression?

This wasn't just true for the Intercepting Sect.

In the Eight Sceneries Palace.

Grand Supreme Elder Lord of Morality was in an excellent mood. He looked at Xuandu with a gratified expression and recounted the events of the day in the Palace of Empress Nuwa.

"Martial Uncle Primordial has actually undergone such a transformation!"

Xuandu was overjoyed.

Martial Uncle Primordial's actions proved that he was ready to let go of his past prejudices. This way, the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect might reconcile!

And the Three Pure Ones were originally one family. The Human Sect maintained neutrality among the three teachings. If the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect reconciled, the strength of the Three Pure Ones would naturally grow.

How could he not be pleased?

Unlike the Human Sect and the Intercepting Sect.

In the Jade Void Palace.

Primordial sat quietly, taking out the Chaos Pearl. He practiced the Primordial Chaos Dao Integration Art while refining the forty-nine layers of restrictions within the Chaos Pearl.

After all, it was a Chaos Supreme Treasure, and even a Saint could not refine it in an instant.

Thus, a thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

The aura of the Great Dao around Primordial grew increasingly dense, filled with profound mystery, and countless Dao Rhymes lingered incessantly.

Within the Chaos Pearl, all forty-nine layers of restrictions were also refined. Afterward, Primordial saw a magnificent chaotic world.

Entering it could conceal heavenly secrets.

"That's it? That's it? This is considered a Chaos Supreme Treasure?!"

Primordial looked at the Chaos Pearl in his hand, completely stunned.

A Chaos Supreme Treasure could only conceal heavenly secrets. This seemed unreasonably weak.

Considering the might of other Chaos Supreme Treasures?

The Sky-Opening Axe was the treasure that Pangu the Great God used to prove his Dao, and it later transformed into three great Innate Supreme Treasures: the Pangu Banner, the Chaos Bell, and the Taiji Diagram.

The Jade Disk of Creation recorded the Three Thousand Great Daos and the principles of the Heavenly Dao.

After the Chaos Green Lotus withered, it transformed into the God-Slaying Spear, the Heaven and Earth Cauldron, the Sea-Calming Pearl, the River Diagram and Luo Scroll, the Innate Five-Directional Flags, the Karma Fire Red Lotus, the World-Destroying Black Lotus, the World-Purifying White Lotus, and other supreme treasures.

The Chaos Pearl, at the same level, is this all it can do?

It's so weak, it doesn't even feel like a Chaos Supreme Treasure!

Primordial Lord frowned, fiddling with the Chaos Pearl.

As time passed, Primordial Lord suddenly discovered a unique use for the world within the Chaos Pearl.

"I knew it, as a Chaos Supreme Treasure, it couldn't be this trash."

Primordial Lord chuckled inwardly.

This was because the small world within it had a strengthening effect.

For example, on spiritual roots and magic treasures.

Even a weed thrown in could transform into a top-grade Post-celestial Spiritual Root.

And a Post-celestial Spiritual Root could become a Pre-celestial Spiritual Root!

It was the same for magic treasures.

With the Chaos Pearl to strengthen spiritual roots and magic treasures, didn't that mean the disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect would all reach the Great Luo realm in the future, each possessing a pile of Pre-celestial magic treasures?!

Thinking of this, Primordial Lord couldn't help but lick his lips.

Indeed, as a Chaos Supreme Treasure, it couldn't be this trash!

Just thinking about it made him excited, but thinking without acting was no good.

Primordial Lord immediately threw all the spiritual roots and magic treasures on his person into the Chaos Pearl for strengthening. All that was left was to wait.

Of course, he didn't just idle around. With the Human Emperor about to appear, the Heavenly Origin Sect had four Saint Teacher positions to assign to disciples, so their strength naturally couldn't be weak either.

Afterward, he directly spoke, his vast divine voice echoing throughout the entire Kunlun Mountains.

"I will be lecturing on the Great Dao in the Jade Void Palace today. All disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect are welcome to come and listen!"

Countless disciples were overjoyed. They immediately put down what they were doing and rushed to the Jade Void Palace.

As the disciples arrived, the main hall was filled with them. On the three prominent futons at the front sat Daoist Randeng, Immortal Weng of the South Pole, and Yunzhongzi. Behind them were the Twelve Golden Immortals and many other disciples of the Heavenly Origin Sect.

Looking at their master, the disciples were deeply moved.

As expected of their master!

After only a thousand years, their master's strength had grown even stronger!

Primordial Lord looked at his disciples and then began his lecture.

Of course, besides his insights into the Great Dao, it was more about the philosophy of non-action, letting everyone know that no living being was inherently superior or inferior.

It was also to dismantle the deep-seated prejudice that many disciples held against the disciples of the Intercepting Sect.

And so, in the Jade Void Palace, the saintly voice continued without cease. The Three Thousand Great Daos and various wondrous Daoist magics flowed from Primordial Lord's mouth like a gentle breeze.

How profound was the art of a Saint! The sound of the Great Dao, like the words of a sage, circulated endlessly between heaven and earth.

For a time, flowers rained down from the heavens, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth within the hall. The surrounding spiritual energy surged into the hall, creating an ethereal realm.

The Daoist magic was natural, unparalleled in the world.

As the saintly voice continued, all the disciples fell into deep contemplation.

From time to time, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, following the Dao Rhyme and saintly words from Primordial Lord of Heaven's mouth, entered the ears of the disciples in a mysterious trajectory.

Puff! Puff!

Before long, sounds of breakthroughs in cultivation realms followed one after another.

After an unknown period, the saintly words in the hall began to slowly subside, gradually becoming quiet.

The disciples awoke from their enlightenment and looked up at Primordial Lord of Heaven.

Their eyes were somewhat bewildered, as some of the concepts in this lecture were difficult for them to understand.

If living beings have no inherent superiority or inferiority, then what did their past actions against the Intercepting Sect amount to?

Did this mean they were supposed to get along with the Intercepting Sect?

How was that possible?!

True Person Huanglong looked at Primordial Lord and respectfully asked, "Master, there is one matter I do not understand from this thousand-year lecture."

"Living beings have no inherent superiority or inferiority. As disciples of a Saint, we should cultivate ourselves. Then, how should we face the disciples of the Intercepting Sect in the future?"

He valued the reputation of the Heavenly Origin Sect the most. Whenever a competition occurred that involved the Heavenly Origin Sect, he was always the first to arrive!

In the past conflicts with the Intercepting Sect, his presence was indispensable.

As his words fell, they immediately resonated with many disciples, who all looked at Primordial Lord of Heaven, awaiting his answer.

Primordial Lord's gaze swept across the faces of the disciples. He knew their thoughts and that they still held prejudices.

However, someone had to do things.

If the Three Teachings were to be unified, not only their own prejudices but also those among the disciples had to be resolved.

His expression was indifferent, neither happy nor sad. He calmly said, "This matter should simply be left to unfold naturally. There is no need to deliberately target the disciples of the Intercepting Sect."

"As a disciple of a Saint, one should cultivate their character and virtue, bringing blessings to all living beings, rather than seeking to outdo others in strength."

Many disciples fell silent.

However, among them, there were still quite a few who wore expressions of indignation.

The disciples of the Intercepting Sect were merely a group of bearded and horned, wet-born and egg-born creatures. The fact that they could become disciples of a Saint was entirely due to the Intercepting Sect's inclusive nature. Did such beings deserve to be called Saint disciples?

They were not worthy of being compared to the disciples of our Heavenly Origin Sect!

Yet, if some opposed, naturally others would agree.

At this moment, among the Twelve Golden Immortals, True Person Yuding's entire being was filled with swirling Dao Rhyme and converging spiritual energy. This was not a simple breakthrough; it also involved a transformation of his state of mind.

After a short while, he opened his eyes and said directly, "I understand, Master. This disciple understands!"

"As a disciple of a Saint, why should there be contention and conflict?"

"Although the disciples of the Intercepting Sect are different from our sect's traditions, they are all beings of the Great Wilderness. Why should we be hostile towards them?"

"This disciple's perspective was truly too narrow in the past!"

His expression was excited. In the time that had just passed, his state of mind had been elevated, and his strength had advanced!

Primordial Lord looked at True Person Yuding with great satisfaction.

His thoughts raced like lightning, and he instantly had an idea.

He spoke directly, "Yuding's performance is excellent. Only with a broad perspective can one perceive the Great Dao."

"Prejudice will only make your vision narrow."

"Since Yuding's state of mind has improved today, I, your master, shall bestow upon you an Innate Spiritual Treasure: the Nine Heavens Ruler!"

Primordial Lord of Heaven directly took out an Innate Spiritual Treasure from the Chaos Pearl.

This was merely the transformation of a Post-celestial Spiritual Treasure within the Chaos Pearl.

In a thousand years, it had grown from a Post-celestial Spiritual Treasure to an Innate Spiritual Treasure.

This Chaos Pearl truly deserved its title as a Chaos Supreme Treasure!

"Hiss! This is an Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

Many disciples gasped, looking at True Person Yuding with envy.

They never expected that True Person Yuding's listening to the sermon this time would not only elevate his state of mind but also earn him such a reward from his master, making others extremely envious.

Furthermore, many were confused, murmuring to themselves.

"If I couldn't comprehend the true meaning, does it mean my perspective is truly too narrow?"

"How can a seeker of the Dao be so short-sighted?"

The states of mind of many disciples had changed, and they fell into deep self-doubt.

Primordial Lord looked at his numerous disciples with satisfaction.

Establishing True Person Yuding as a role model had yielded initial results!

This was akin to creating a hero.

Everyone yearns for the existence of heroes and then imitates them.

A role model has the same effect.

Primordial Lord no longer paid attention to his disciples; he had more important matters to attend to.

Next, it was time to plan for the Unification of the Three Teachings!
