The World's Secrets, The Future Dao Era (Seeking Collections, Seeking Reads, Seeking Votes!)

Just as Shangqing Tongtian Daoist had said, although this Heaven and Earth Fetal Membrane was not an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it was the finest innate material for refining a Destiny Treasure!

Using a Destiny Treasure to evolve the Great Dao—if Lu Yuan were to obtain the Daluo Dao Fruit and become a Great Divine Ability User, he might be able to refine a Destiny Treasure surpassing even a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

It would be enough to serve as his treasure for attaining the Dao!

Thus, in Lu Yuan's eyes, the value of this Heaven and Earth Fetal Membrane was not the least bit inferior to a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Taking the Heaven and Earth Fetal Membrane, Lu Yuan once more bowed deeply to the three seniors who had bestowed this reward upon him, his face full of reverence.

"Alright, Qingxuanzi. Lead the way. Take us to the main hall, where we shall offer incense to this Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor and Lord of Gods and Demons senior.

Earth Emperor Yuejian opened up the Netherworld, set chaos in order, completed the earth's creation, and possessed immeasurable merit. He rendered great service to the Great Desolation World!

Since we have come to Earth Emperor Yuejian's palace, we must pay our respects..."

Seeing Lu Yuan put away the Heaven and Earth Fetal Membrane, Grand Pure Daoist instructed him to lead the way.

Beside him, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist merely nodded slightly, having no objections.

"This disciple obeys!"

Lu Yuan cupped his hands with both hands and walked solemnly ahead, leading the Sanqing onward.

The main hall of the palace.

Looking at Earth Emperor Yuejian's "completely renewed" divine statue, which no longer seemed as decayed as this ruined temple, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist revealed a trace of satisfaction.

Like the ruined temple, this divine statue had gone untended for countless years. Evidently, Lu Yuan was the one who had put in the effort to restore it.

Moreover, judging by the ashes in the incense burner before the statue, after obtaining Earth Emperor Yuejian's legacy treasure, Lu Yuan had not forgotten his senior's grace and had continued to offer incense in worship.

From this, it could be seen that Lu Yuan was a creature of pure character, one who knew gratitude.

This gave Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist an even better impression of Lu Yuan, and his gaze upon him grew increasingly gentle.

Although Grand Pure Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist remained expressionless, they too were quite pleased by Lu Yuan's character of never forgetting kindness.

After all, as Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, the Sanqing bore the responsibility of Educating All Beings. Naturally, they had to serve as exemplars for all living creatures beneath heaven, and their disciples likewise had to be people of noble character.

One had to know that disciples represented not only the inheritance of a Dao lineage, but also the face of the Sanqing.

"What a pity about Earth Emperor Yuejian..."

After casting Lu Yuan an approving glance, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist looked toward Earth Emperor Yuejian's divine statue and sighed softly. "Had the tribulation of attaining the Dao and the human tribulation not arrived together, then with this Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor's Daoxing and merit, he might have obtained the Primordial Dao Fruit..."

As beings transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, the Sanqing held an extremely exalted position within the Heavenly Dao Order of the Primordial World. Some karmic causes from past tribulations might be concealed from Great Divine Ability Users, but they could not be hidden from the Sanqing.

With the Bestowed Upon of heaven and earth's status, they had once investigated the karmic causes behind Earth Emperor Yuejian's attempt to attain the Dao.

Thus, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist knew these karmic causes very well. Seeing Earth Emperor Yuejian's divine statue now, he could not help but feel regret.

"Indeed. Earth Emperor Yuejian opened up the Netherworld, only to encounter a thread of Pangu Father God's evil intent...

That evil intent scattered throughout the Netherworld, absorbing baleful earthly turbid qi and giving birth to an incomparably terrifying existence.

When the Netherworld emerged into the world, it became Earth Emperor Yuejian's human tribulation..."

Shangqing Tongtian Daoist beside him also found it deeply regrettable. Such an unparalleled being had actually fallen in the Hunyuan Dao Tribulation.

Had Earth Emperor Yuejian still lived, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist would certainly have discussed the Dao with this Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor!

"The Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor's merit shone brilliantly. He set chaos in order, separated mountains, rivers, marshes, and great lakes, completed the earth's creation, and opened up the Netherworld.

Even if he fell beneath the Hunyuan Dao Tribulation, such a being had already glimpsed Hunyuan with one foot and possessed the merit of heaven and earth Bestowed Upon him. He may not necessarily have no day of return!

Second Brother, Third Brother, let us offer incense to this Earth Emperor Heavenly Emperor and Lord of Gods and Demons. When he returns, we may discuss the Great Dao again..."

As he gazed at Earth Emperor Yuejian's divine statue, a glint flashed through Grand Pure Daoist's eyes. As Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, he was privy to certain hidden secrets between heaven and earth.

Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist beside him nodded slightly. The waters of this Primordial World ran deep. Even Great Luo Dao Lords could remain immortal to all calamities, much less those beings who had already glimpsed the Hunyuan Dao Realm with one foot.

Even a Hunyuan Dao Tribulation might not be able to utterly wear away such beings, who endured alongside heaven and existed alongside the Dao.

As he watched the Sanqing step forward to offer incense to Earth Emperor Yuejian, Lu Yuan remained expressionless, without the slightest ripple of emotion on his face.

Yet his heart was churning in towering waves, utterly shocked!

"If Earth Emperor Yuejian can return in the future, then might Emperor Cangli, Human Emperor Jiutou Shi, and those peak Great Divine Ability Users who fell during the previous two Dao eras also be able to return?"

At this thought, Lu Yuan's heart grew exceedingly heavy. If these peak great powers returned, they would surely have an enormous impact on the situation in the Great Desolation!

Even if Purple Cloud Palace's Dao Ancestor Hongjun suppressed the situation, even if the future Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao controlled the Great Desolation, not one of these fallen peak great powers was an easy character.

After their return, some of those supreme beings would soon be able to once again charge toward the Hunyuan Dao Realm!

For instance, the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Emperor of the World of Gods and Demons; the leaders of the Three Races Dao Era—Zu Long, Primordial Phoenix, and Shi Qilin; Yin-Yang, Heaven and Earth, Stars, Firmament, and the others from the Immortal-Demon Tribulation...

He could already see that day in future Dao eras when the Great Divine Ability Users who had fallen in past tribulations would return one after another, obtain the Primordial Dao Fruit, and compete for freedom beneath frost-covered skies.

If he could not attain the Dao beforehand, then perhaps in the future, he would have to discuss the Dao and clash with them.

Had he learned this information from another Great Divine Ability User, Lu Yuan might have been half-convinced and half-doubtful. But this was the judgment of the Pangu Sanqing—how could he not believe it?

In this Primordial World, even Purple Cloud Palace's Dao Ancestor Hongjun would not dare claim to know more hidden secrets than the Sanqing.

"It seems I cannot afford the slightest slackness on this path of the Great Dao..."

Lu Yuan faintly felt a trace of pressure. He sighed inwardly, and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.

After Sanqing finished offering this stick of incense, a faint sensation arose within the Grand Pure Daoist's Primordial Spirit. Heavenly secrets revealed that an opportunity lay within Buzhou Mountain, one with no shallow fate with the three of them.

Just as the Grand Pure Daoist sensed it, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist likewise perceived the heavenly secrets.

After divining the heavenly secrets, the Grand Pure Daoist said calmly, "Let us make the trip and see what sort of treasure has emerged. It will also be a good chance for Qingxuanzi to broaden his horizons and witness the Great Divine Ability Users of the prehistoric world!"

With the Grand Pure Daoist making the final decision, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist naturally had no objections, following wherever he pointed.

With that, the three raised auspicious clouds beneath them, carrying Lu Yuan as they passed through the innate formation in an instant and headed deep into Buzhou Mountain.

The pressure of the Great Dao Rules within Buzhou Mountain was like a breeze brushing past Sanqing, utterly without effect!

Standing atop the seven-colored auspicious cloud, Lu Yuan watched this scene and could not help sighing inwardly. As expected of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage...
