36th Grade Creation Green Lotus

Within the Sun Star, Taiyi was immersed in the profound insights of the Earth Law contained within the Central Earth Yellow Apricot Banner, unable to pull himself free.

At the same time, as nearly three thousand Grand Luo Golden Immortals headed to the Chaotic Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun Daozu's second lecture at the Purple Cloud Palace began as scheduled.

This time, Hongjun Daozu did not disappoint them. He lectured on the path of the Quasi-Sage.

Primordial Powerhouses such as the Three Pure Ones, whose cultivation had stalled at the peak of the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm, listened with great interest and seemed to gain some insight.

Some even began nurturing an opportunity for a breakthrough on the spot. Once the lecture ended, they would be able to advance to the Quasi-Sage realm!

The Primordial Wilderness would thus completely enter the era of Quasi-Sages!

The age when Grand Luo Golden Immortals could dominate the Primordial Wilderness was completely over!

Only Quasi-Sages would be the leaders of the new generation.

Taiyi, who remained cautiously hidden within the Sun Palace, knew nothing of this.

Even if he had known, he would not have felt disappointed.

Every gain came with a loss.

Although these people would become Quasi-Sages, from then on, they would effectively be handing the leash of their lives to Hongjun Daozu.

From then on, a single word from Hongjun Daozu could determine whether they lived or died.

Did they truly think the karma of listening to a Sage's teachings was so easy to bear?

Only Pangu orthodox successors like the Three Pure Ones, who possessed the merit of opening heaven, could, after realizing that the Three Corpses Severing method was flawed, use great resolve, great magic power, and great merit to sever the Three Corpses with the sword of wisdom, cutting them off completely.

They then turned to the Dao Proving Method of merit.

Thus, Taiyi was not the least bit jealous.

Watch him build a towering palace; watch that palace collapse.

Taiyi merely focused on walking the path of proving the Dao through the Sun Law that he had chosen.

Though the Dao was blocked and the road long, his heart held no regrets.

Keeping his feet on the ground, he would build a towering structure from level ground.

One day, Taiyi would attain the Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith and prove the Mixed Yuan Dao Fruit!

Then, he would be far beyond the comparison of a mere Heavenly Dao Sage!

He would stand on equal footing with the Heavenly Dao.

Unrestrained and unfettered, he would roam freely through the Primordial World and travel the chaos as if it were nothing.

Such great freedom was the true Great Dao.

The Grand Luo Golden Immortal Zenith was a Sage of the Great Dao.

With the Homebody Choice System, Taiyi had the confidence to build up deeply before soaring to greatness.

Nothing else happened during this lecture. Hongjun Daozu did not waste any time; once he finished lecturing, he drove everyone out of the Purple Cloud Palace.

After everyone had exited the Purple Cloud Palace one by one, Hongjun Daozu, seated high above, darkened in expression.

"What exactly is going on with Taiyi and Dijun? Why have they still not left their palace to stir up trouble? Don't they want to become the Heavenly Emperors of the Primordial Wilderness?"

"This does not match their destinies."

"Could it be that this old Daoist truly has to personally go to the Sun Star and invite the two brothers out of their palace?"

Thinking of this, Hongjun Daozu's face turned utterly black.

As the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial Mystic Sect, how could he lower himself to invite Taiyi and Dijun out of their palace?

Besides, that would not make sense and would make the two Golden Crow Brothers wary.

Yet if Taiyi and Dijun did not leave their palace, how could the Witch and Demon Cataclysm proceed?

How could he fulfill the cataclysm quota assigned by the Heavenly Dao?

If he failed to complete the Heavenly Dao's task, how could he unite himself with the Dao?

Hongjun Daozu secretly stewed in frustration, considering how to lure Taiyi and Dijun out of their palace.

Meanwhile, Taiyi quietly remained in the Sun Palace, living as a homebody.

By the time Hongjun Daozu's second Purple Cloud Palace lecture ended, Taiyi had completely refined the Twenty-Four Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearls.

He had also refined more than half of the Innate Divine Restrictions within the Central Earth Yellow Apricot Banner.

In less than eighteen hundred years, Taiyi would be able to completely master this Five Directional Banner.

Taiyi's absorption and integration of the Earth Law domain had also reached a higher level.

If comprehending laws had a progress bar, Taiyi vaguely sensed that he had already completed ten percent of the path toward Great Perfection in the Earth Law domain.

His comprehension of the other four Innate Five Elements Law domains remained around the one-percent mark.

Have to say, the Five Directional Banners were truly incredible.

A single Apricot Yellow Banner had brought Taiyi's comprehension and control over the Innate Earth Law domain to one-tenth.

If he completely comprehended, integrated, and controlled it, would it not reach around thirty percent?

Taiyi drew a deep breath, his heart shaken.

"As expected of one of the Ten Great Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures! This is amazing!"

Taiyi looked at the Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Flag floating before him, continuously being refined by the power of his Solar Truefire Law, his eyes filled with burning fervor.

With such terrifying potential, Taiyi's desire to refine the Apricot Yellow Banner only grew stronger.

Cultivation was dull and flavorless to begin with, much less when one had to expend vast amounts of magic power and mental energy refining external treasures.

It was absolutely tormenting.

However, while refining the Apricot Yellow Banner, Taiyi also seized the time to comprehend the Earth Law contained within the Innate Divine Restrictions he had refined. He found joy amid hardship and delighted in it.

Comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth was enjoyable, because it brought a sense of accomplishment.

Moreover, as his understanding and control of the Earth Law deepened, Taiyi's own strength steadily rose as well.

The feeling of gradually growing stronger and wielding the power of laws deeply captivated Taiyi.

At this moment, Taiyi finally understood why cultivators immersed themselves in secluded meditation for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years at a time.

The feeling of comprehending profound mysteries, controlling heaven and earth, and growing stronger was simply too addictive.

No pleasure could compare to the thrill of becoming stronger.

Here he was content enough to forget all else.

Time flowed like water, and a thousand years quickly passed.

That day, while the Three Pure Ones were cultivating in seclusion on Kunlun Mountain, they suddenly felt an indescribably mysterious palpitation.

It was as though something was about to appear, something intimately connected to them.

The three brothers could not help but awaken from seclusion. They looked at one another, their expressions uncertain.

"Eldest Brother, I just felt a sudden palpitation, as though an opportunity has descended upon us. What could it mean?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Shangqing Tongtian turned his gaze toward Taiqing Laozi and asked.

"I felt it as well."

Yuqing Yuanshi nodded in agreement.

"In that case, it seems this object is connected to us Three Pure Ones."

Taiqing Laozi nodded, likewise affirming it.

"Should we go out and take a look?"

Tongtian, being restless by nature, was the first to suggest it.

"Good."

Yuanshi nodded.

"Agreed."

Laozi consented.

Thus, the Three Purities Daoist set out together, following that faint palpitation in their hearts toward Buzhou Mountain.

Just as the Three Purities Daoist were hurrying toward Buzhou Mountain, Taiyi, after spending another thousand years in the Sun Star, finally completely refined the Central Earth Yellow Apricot Banner.

At the same time, Taiyi's control over the Earth Law domain had reached around thirty percent.

"Finally finished. At least all that time and effort was not wasted."

Taiyi smiled as he looked at the little Apricot Yellow Banner in his hand, which moved as smoothly as an extension of his arm, winding around him like a swimming dragon.

"Ding dong. Detected that the 36th Grade Creation Green Lotus on Buzhou Mountain is about to appear. At this special moment, please make the correct choice in accordance with the Homebody Choice System."

The voice that suddenly rang out in his mind made Taiyi pause in surprise.

So much time had already passed.

Was the 36th Grade Creation Green Lotus about to appear?
