"The path of proving the Dao through the Sun Law is indeed feasible."

Taiyi opened his eyes, a flash of delight passing through them.

Just now, he had drawn upon the Great Sun Golden Flame at the source within his body to seek the Dao.

To his surprise, he had truly received a vague response from the Great Dao.

This proved that Taiyi's theory of proving the Dao through the Sun Law was entirely viable!

"Proving the Dao through laws truly is a method that points directly to the source."

"It is a path to proving the Dao acknowledged by the Great Dao."

"It seems that Old Ancestor Yang Mei, the reincarnation of that Chaos Space Demon God, truly attained the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith through the power of the Law of Space."

"Tsk, tsk. The first Hunyuan-level cultivator in the Primordial Wilderness."

Taiyi's eyes were filled with envy.

That man had not received any assistance from a system. He had relied entirely on his own talent.

The Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith was a genuine cultivation realm.

Unlike the Sage Seat, which was merely an empty shell.

Once one left the Primordial Heavenly Dao, one would immediately fall from that realm.

In essence, Sages possessed only the cultivation of a Golden Immortal of Hunyuan.

This was why the Six Sages of the Heavens in later generations did not dare defy the Heavenly Mandate.

Once they went against Heaven, they would no longer be Sages and would be cast down from the Sage realm by the Heavenly Dao.

What was the point of cultivating into such a Sage?

Taiyi shook his head.

Since he had already chosen the direction in which he would prove the Dao in the future,

there was no longer any reason for him to hesitate or retreat.

"Continue cultivating."

With his path ahead decided, Taiyi peacefully entered seclusion to cultivate.

He would strive to reach the Great Perfection of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible.

As for the storms and ever-changing currents of the Primordial World,

to him, they were all external matters, incapable of affecting his state of mind or Dao cultivation.

Those who cultivated the Dao needed to understand what their true foundation was.

And without question, in the Primordial World, strength was the foundation of everything.

Dijun, in another sleeping chamber, had learned Taiyi's "true background."

He also understood the roles that he and his brother would play in the future history of the Primordial Wilderness.

Furthermore, the two brothers were currently only at the initial stage of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Their strength was still far too weak.

Thus, he had no mind to act recklessly. He focused wholeheartedly on secluded cultivation, accumulating the abilities they would need to dominate in the future.

And so, the Sun Palace once again fell silent.

Only the Solar Truefire boiled and surged without rest, day and night.

It released the light and heat of the Sun Star for the entire Primordial World.

And just as Taiyi and Dijun were contentedly staying hidden on the Sun Star and cultivating steadily, the Three Thousand Purple Cloud Guests finally all arrived.

Boom.

On the plaza of the Chaotic Purple Cloud Palace, the three thousand Grand Luo Purple Cloud Guests who had been quietly waiting suddenly saw the tightly shut gates of the Purple Cloud Palace swing open to either side.

"By Master's decree, the time for the three-thousand-year Dao lecture has arrived. All of you are invited to enter."

As the gates of the Purple Cloud Palace opened, a young boy and a young girl suddenly appeared, standing to the left and right.

They were both exceptionally refined, handsome Golden Boy and beautiful Jade Maiden gathered from the spiritual essence of Heaven and Earth.

What was even more astonishing was that these two young gatekeepers actually possessed late-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal cultivation!

The Three Thousand Purple Cloud Guests were secretly alarmed by the sight and could not help taking a sharp breath.

They thought to themselves that this was indeed the bearing of a Sage. Even the gatekeeping Dao attendants possessed Dao cultivation and magical power comparable to the ancient Grand Luo among them.

Some Primordial Beings at the initial stage of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm felt even more ashamed of their own inferiority and put away the little pride in their hearts.

Even the Three Pure Ones and other top experts of the Primordial Wilderness did not dare be negligent. They hurriedly cupped their hands in salute toward the two attendants.

Though the gates of the Purple Cloud Palace had fully opened, no one dared neglect proper etiquette. One after another, they greeted the two young attendants with formal salutes.

Only then did they enter the Purple Cloud Palace, the Sage's Dao ground standing amid chaos, in an orderly procession according to their respective cultivation and Dao attainments.

The moment they entered, they were deeply shocked once more.

The palace that appeared so small from outside was actually as vast within as an entire great world.

Layer upon layer of Laws of Time and Space continuously evolved one vast universe after another.

Endless space filled the palace.

It carried the profound Dao principle of containing Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed and holding one world within a grain of sand.

Even more exaggeratedly, boundless Heaven and Earth Yellow Profound Mother Qi rose and fell within it, brimming with Dao rhythms and principles.

So long as they absorbed and refined a single wisp, it would be worth a hundred years of arduous cultivation in the outside world.

"This..."

The Three Thousand Purple Cloud Guests exchanged glances, all rendered speechless.

When had they ever seen such a luxurious and magnificent spectacle?

Every one of them was too shocked to speak.

They hurriedly found places to sit, crossed their legs, and began absorbing the Yellow Profound Qi that filled their surroundings.

The Three Pure Ones and the others did not sit down casually. The instant they entered, they began looking around, searching for hidden opportunities.

Sure enough, before long, the Three Pure Ones spotted six Great Dao Mats floating amid layers of time and space in a certain area.

The six Great Dao Mats were all different in form.

One Great Dao Mat surged with wind and fire.

One Great Dao Mat bore the might of Heaven and Earth.

One Great Dao Mat saw azure lotuses bloom and perish.

One Great Dao Mat held Perpetual Life.

One Great Dao Mat contained the true meaning of paradise.

One Great Dao Mat carried the silence of nirvana and reincarnation.

These six Great Dao Mats were respectively:

Wind-Fire Mat, Heaven-Earth Mat, Azure Lotus Mat, Derivation Mat, Paradise Mat, and Nirvana Mat.

All of them were Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. They contained Dao rhythms and could aid one's seated cultivation.

The moment the Three Pure Ones saw these six Great Dao Mats, their hearts stirred with an unfathomably mysterious feeling.

"Two brothers, those three mats may be fated to us. Why not go and claim them?"

Laozi was the first to speak.

"Everything shall be decided by Elder Brother."

Since Laozi had spoken, Yuanshi naturally had no objections.

"Elder Brother speaks wisely."

Tongtian possessed the finest comprehension and aptitude, so he had naturally noticed the extraordinary nature of the six mats at a glance.

He immediately nodded in agreement.

However, the Three Pure Ones were not the only clever ones blessed with deep fortune.

When their gazes fell upon the six Great Dao Mats floating within endless time and space, quite a few Grand Luo Golden Immortals with profound Dao attainments noticed them as well.

"Six Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures!"

"Haha, one of them is meant to be mine!"

"Dao enlightenment mats—none of you dare fight me for them!"

With a boom.

No one could remain calm.

Their eyes burned as they stared at the six Great Dao Mats hidden within endless time and space.

Not every Grand Luo Golden Immortal of the Primordial Wilderness was as favored by Heaven as the Three Pure Ones.

The moment they took form and appeared in the world, they had been accompanied by the number one postnatal defensive treasure.

Even Yuanshi and Tongtian possessed several Innate Spiritual Treasures capable of both offense and defense.

Most Grand Luo Golden Immortals might not even possess a single Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Let alone the six top-tier Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures that had suddenly appeared before them.

Though they were merely meditation mats for assisting cultivation, as Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, they were supreme treasures.

In other words, so long as something was a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, even if it were a blade of grass or a handful of soil, it would be an incomparably precious treasure in the Primordial Wilderness.

The Three Thousand Purple Cloud Guests went mad.

They unleashed their magical power and divine abilities, tearing open the barriers of space as they rushed to fight over the six Great Dao Mats floating within endless time and space.

"Impudent!"

"We three are the Three Pure Ones, Pangu's orthodox successors!"

"We should rightfully occupy three Great Dao Mats."

"Who among you dares to seize what belongs to the Three Pure Ones?"

"Begone!"

The many Grand Luo had all made their moves to compete for the treasures, just as the Three Pure Ones had anticipated.

They did not care, merely heading toward the Great Dao Mats each had chosen.

Yet some still refused to give up and actually dared try to seize the mats claimed by the Three Pure Ones.

Laozi flew into a rage.

The Coiled Dragon Crutch in his hand lashed out fiercely.

"Ah!"

Even across endless time and space, the person who had attacked in secret was instantly struck until half his body turned to dust. With a miserable scream, he rapidly retreated.

The many Grand Luo who had originally intended to test themselves against the Three Pure Ones were terrified at the sight. They hurriedly stopped in their tracks, not daring to move forward.
