Located in Jade Void Mountain Kunlun Mountain Range.

Above the mountain gate square, the Three Pure Ones— Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian— sat upright on futons, standing to the left and right respectively.

Below the plaza, thousands of immortals and gods of varying cultivation levels sat or lay down, crowding half of the mountaintop.

This scene depicts the Three Pure Ones of Jade Void expounding the Daoist teachings.

This attracted all the nearby immortals, gods, and mythical beasts.

In a corner of the square where the Three Pure Ones were preaching.

Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua were standing together, listening with great interest to the Three Pure Ones preaching.

Those who come to listen to the Three Pure Ones preach are mostly True Immortal, Mystic Immortal, and Golden Immortal.

Therefore, the Daoist teachings expounded by the Three Pure Ones are simple, easy to understand, and do not involve profound Great Dao.

Although it was useless to him, Luo Qing still listened with great interest.

Even though Luo Qing's cultivation level was already a notch above that of the Three Pure Ones, he still had to admit it.

In terms of preaching and spreading the Dharma alone, the Three Pure Ones are far superior to Luo Qing.

Sometimes, it's not that the higher one's spiritual cultivation, the better one can preach.

Seeing how well the Three Pure Ones were able to preach and spread the Dharma, Luo Qing was not surprised that the three of them would establish a religion and become saints in the future.

After Luo Qing emerged from seclusion that day, he met with Luo Xuan.

He first went to Jade Pool to visit Fairy Xihua, and the two met.

Just then, I heard that the Three Pure Ones Open Altar Preaching at Jade Void Mountain.

Luo Qing then invited Fairy Xihua to come to Jade Void Mountain to support the Three Pure Ones.

At this moment Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua were standing in the middle of the square.

However, the immortals and gods who came to listen to the sermon seemed not to see the two of them at all.

Only the Three Pure Ones, who were sitting upright and preaching, noticed Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua, and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

The Three Pure Ones each preached for seven days and seven nights in turn, for a total of 21 days, before finally stopping.

After the sermon ended, all the gods and mythical beasts bowed to the Three Pure Ones from afar before dispersing.

After all the bystanders had dispersed, Laozi stepped forward and said:

"Welcome, Fellow Daoists Luo Qing and Daoist Xihua! We apologize for any neglect you may have shown us!"

"Fellow Daoists, you are too kind. We two have come unannounced and disturbed your lecture. We should apologize."

Luo Qing waved his hand and smiled.

This wasn't the first time the five of them had met, and since they were all neighbors, there was a natural sense of camaraderie among them.

Luo Qing and Xihua were led by Laozi and his two brothers to a place deep within Jade Void Mountain for hospitality.

It is rare to have five Daluo Golden Immortal with Innate Sacred Beings Foundation gathered together.

Naturally, a discussion and debate ensued.

Whether in the past or present, once you reach the Great Luo realm, there are very few cultivation methods left to draw upon for further advancement.

Unlike the Six Saints era later, when there were not only Great Luo cultivation techniques, but also many Quasi-Sage cultivation techniques.

Now, whether it's Luo Qing Xihua, Or the Three Pure Ones and others...

They are all in the stage of practicing while exploring the techniques.

In this primitive age, the emphasis is on spreading the doctrine but not the teachings.

Most of them are born with Innate Sacred Beings or Innate God Foundation.

They possess extraordinary comprehension, and given that everyone's circumstances are different, their paths may also diverge.

Therefore, most Magic Formula are meant to be used for reference and application.

This has led to almost every cultivator who has reached the Golden Immortal Gold God realm having their own set of cultivation Magic Formula.

It was the Immortal Dao record that Ancestor Hongjun, one of the founders of the Immortal Dao, passed on to Luo Qing in the Pangu Temple.

Luo Qing didn't just use it immediately; instead, he studied and learned from it, integrating it into his own cultivation system.

The five men discussed the heavens and the earth, their thoughts constantly flowing with Daoist principles.

Both sides gained a great deal from the exchange.

Finally, let's talk about opening a Dharma assembly and giving sermons.

Tongtian sighed:

"Having traveled through the Primordial Wilderness for tens of thousands of years, I have seen and heard that many creatures in various places have practiced ignorance."

Throughout my life, I have dedicated myself to spreading the Dao, teaching without discrimination, so that Primordial Myriad Spirits may ascend to the Great Dao.

This is my vision!

Upon hearing Tongtian's words, Luo Qing felt they sounded vaguely familiar.

The vision that Tongtian spoke of was very similar to the Interception Sect that he later founded!

Could it be that Tongtian already possessed this Daoist thought at this time?

That Yuanshi?

Thinking of Tongtian and Yuanshi, these two brothers who loved and hated each other, Luo Qing looked at Yuanshi.

As expected, upon hearing Tongtian's words, Yuanshi frowned.

"Third brother, you are mistaken!"

Those Innate God and spirits are one thing; they are all born with innate wisdom and the ability to create.

But those creatures with scales and horns are born ignorant, eat yaks and drink blood, and commit many sins of killing.

How could such filthy beings possibly transmit our teachings?

Third brother, do not meddle in other people's business, lest you become entangled in the cycle of karma and ultimately ruin your own Dao Accomplishment!

Yuanshi, being Tongtian's elder brother, immediately began to lecture Tongtian.

Upon hearing Yuanshi's words, Tongtian's face darkened, and he was about to speak in rebuttal.

"Second brother, you..."

Just as he opened his mouth, Laozi coughed, interrupting Tongtian's attempt to refute him.

"Ahem! Alright, you two stop arguing about this."

"Fellow Daoists Luo Qing Xihua, do you two brothers still want to have a quarrel in front of us?"

Laozi also having a bit of a headache.

Perhaps it is because of the concept of Yin Yang in Daoism that the three brothers, although born of the same mother, were able to survive.

However, Yuanshi and Tongtian were constantly at odds, and it was only because their Laozi brother Laozi kept them in check that they could have gotten along so well.

The two brothers had to have a fight every now and then.

Because of this, the two of them often disliked each other.

Seeing Laozi's headache-ridden expression, Luo Qing couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

This person will have plenty of trouble in the future.

Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua stayed in Jade Void Mountain Jade Void Mountain for more than three months before leaving together.

After the Three Pure Ones escorted Luo Qing and Xihua out of the mountain.

The three did not immediately return to the mountain, but instead gazed at the spot where Luo Qing had disappeared and pondered for a moment.

Laozi's eyes flickered as he said, "If I'm not mistaken, that Fellow Luo Qing should already have the cultivation of the Mid-stage Grand Unity."

"This Fellow Luo Qing is indeed a remarkable person, but although his cultivation is ahead of others, it may not necessarily be a good thing."

"Simply focusing on improving cultivation level without paying attention to cultivating one's character will make further advancement increasingly difficult as cultivation level increases."

Yuanshi still didn't think highly of Luo Qing, despite the fact that the three brothers were direct descendants of the Ancestor God Pangu.

His cultivation speed is absolutely top-notch in the Primordial World, but he is still quite far from reaching the Mid-stage Grand Unity.

Luo Qing, who was originally on par with them, has now become Mid-stage Grand Unity.

In Yuanshi's view, Luo Qing must have taken many shortcuts to achieve such rapid cultivation.

Upon hearing what Yuanshi said, Tongtian glanced at his elder Laozi and suppressed the urge to refute him.

However, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

When Luo Qing left Kunlun Mountain to travel through the Primordial Wilderness, his second elder brother did not think highly of his cultivation.

Now that others have reached the Mid-stage Grand Unity before him, he's still stubbornly denying it and making excuses for himself.

In any case, Daoist Tongtian held Luo Qing in extremely high regard.

The greater Luo Qing's achievements, the happier Tongtian became.

The second brother, Yuanshi, just has terrible judgment!

Still unwilling to admit defeat!

After Luo Qing and Fairy Xihua left Jade Void Mountain.

We're almost at Hua Tian Peak.

"Luo Qing. I will take my leave now, please do not see me off!"

Fairy Xihua thanked Luo Qing and prepared to return to the Jade Pool.

Seeing the departing figure of Fairy Xihua, Luo Qing's heart stirred, for he already had a plan in mind.
