Great Divine Ability Users Discuss the Dao

The Great Divine Ability Users in the valley also found it deeply regrettable. Such an Innate Spiritual Root bore gourds that were all innate; with a little refinement, they could become Innate Spiritual Treasures.

Yet now it was about to wither and die. How could they not lament it?

At this moment, Fuxi Daoist noticed that Lu Yuan seemed tempted and said with a smile, "Since this final Black Gourd is about to die in the womb and degenerate into a postnatal thing, it is nothing more than chicken ribs to people like us.

"Why not let young friend Qingxuanzi take it and refine it into a postnatal immortal treasure?"

Hearing Fuxi Daoist's suggestion, none of the Great Divine Ability Users in the valley objected. This Black Gourd was innately deficient and already showed signs of dying young. Even Great Divine Ability Users could not save it, much less a mere junior.

Furthermore, this junior Qingxuanzi was a disciple of the Sanqing Daoists. Giving this fated-to-die chicken-rib item to Qingxuanzi could also be considered doing the Sanqing a favor.

Thus, even Dijun and Taiyi, who had always disliked the Sanqing Daoists' claim to be Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, nodded in agreement.

Glancing at the Great Divine Ability Users present, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist felt a trace of something strange arise within his heart.

Qingxuanzi possessed such abundant wealth that even among the Great Divine Ability Users present, he could rank somewhere in the upper-middle tier.

Why would he take a fancy to this innately deficient Black Gourd?

Though the Black Gourd would still count as a rare postnatal spiritual item after dying young, it would not catch Qingxuanzi's eye.

"Wait..."

At that moment, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist thought of the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the Tree of Life, in Lu Yuan's possession.

"So that's it. Perhaps Qingxuanzi truly can save this Black Gourd..."

With that thought, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist revealed a smiling expression and looked at Lu Yuan. "Since none of our fellow Daoists object, Qingxuanzi, go take that Black Gourd!"

"By your command!"

Lu Yuan gave a slight nod, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and bowed to the Great Divine Ability Users in the valley.

Walking up to the Innate Gourd Vine, Lu Yuan plucked the Black Gourd. In an instant, the spiritual light on its surface visibly dimmed to the naked eye.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan raised his hand and summoned the Three Lights Divine Water that Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist had bestowed upon him.

He took several drops of Three Lights Divine Water from the White Jade Immortal Bottle in succession and watered it. The Black Gourd visibly ceased withering.

On the other side, when the Great Divine Ability Users in the valley saw Lu Yuan produce the Three Lights Divine Water, a trace of surprise appeared on their faces.

One had to know that the Three Lights Divine Water was a holy water-attributed treasure between Heaven and Earth. Even Great Divine Ability Users like them did not possess much of it.

Fuxi Daoist gave Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist a thoughtful look and said with some feeling, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi truly values this junior Qingxuanzi. You can even bestow a holy item such as Three Lights Divine Water upon him!"

One had to know that all Three Lights Divine Water between Heaven and Earth had been nurtured and formed by the world's natural creation since the Primordial World was opened.

Now, in the Primordial World's third Dao Epoch since Heaven and Earth were created, the Three Lights Divine Water naturally nurtured by Heaven and Earth had long been nearly depleted by generation after generation of mighty cultivators.

Therefore, even Great Divine Ability Users did not have much Three Lights Divine Water in their hands.

Only Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist had comprehended the divine ability of Three Lights Divine Water, gathering the power of the sun, moon, and stars' three lights, mixing it with Innate Spiritual Liquid, and condensing Three Lights Divine Water through his divine ability.

Much of the Three Lights Divine Water possessed by Great Divine Ability Users throughout the Primordial World had been exchanged from Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist.

"It is merely some Three Lights Divine Water. Bestowing it upon Qingxuanzi is simply putting it to proper use. He is a personal disciple of our Sanqing..." Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist said indifferently, casting Fuxi a glance.

Hearing those words, the Great Divine Ability Users in the valley kept their expressions unchanged, though their faces twitched.

After halting the Black Gourd's decline, Lu Yuan looked at the withered gourd vine before him. Just as he was about to put it away, the vine seemed to possess intelligence and flew directly toward Nuwa, landing in her hand.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan became thoughtful. "Perhaps the gourd vine Nuwa used to create humanity in the legends was this very one!"

With that thought, the faint trace of disappointment in his heart vanished completely.

On the other side, after Nuwa put away the gourd vine, Taiyi stepped forward and turned to the crowd. "Fellow Daoists, we have just finished listening to Teacher Hongjun expound the Dao at Purple Firmament Palace. Since we have met here, why not take this opportunity to discuss the Dao with one another?"

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi speaks well!

"The pursuit of the Great Dao is arduous. Even Great Divine Ability Users like us are but drifting specks in a bitter sea. Discussing the Dao with one another may perhaps benefit our cultivation of the Great Dao."

Fuxi Daoist beside him showed an approving expression and immediately clapped his hands in praise.

Since Fuxi had agreed, Nuwa naturally would not undermine him and nodded in agreement as well.

"Since Fellow Daoist Taiyi is in the mood to discuss the Dao, this poor Daoist naturally will not spoil the occasion..." After pondering briefly, Grand Pure Daoist replied calmly with an expressionless face.

Seeing Grand Pure Daoist agree, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist gave slight nods. Hongyun Daoist and Zhenyuanzi beside them also nodded readily.

As for Dijun, he naturally would not undermine his own brother Taiyi. Thus, the matter of the Great Divine Ability Users discussing the Dao was settled.

At this time, Lu Yuan, who had plucked the Black Gourd, heard the Great Divine Ability Users in the valley speaking of discussing the Dao, and his heart surged with excitement.

Great Divine Ability Users had bodies and spirits of wondrous perfection, their true selves united with the Dao. They had already condensed a thread of nearly eternal Holy Dao Radiance, and when they discussed the Dao, the mysteries of the Dao would naturally unfold.

After all, among the Great Divine Ability Users in the valley—Sanqing, Nuwa, Fuxi, Dijun, Taiyi, Hongyun, and Zhenyuanzi—which one was not a renowned Great Divine Ability User of the Primordial World?

Had he not become Shangqing Tongtian Daoist's disciple, how could he, Lu Yuan, a mere Heavenly Immortal, have the fortune to participate in such a grand gathering?

Just as Lu Yuan's heart trembled with excitement, the Great Divine Ability Users in the valley waved their hands, and Cloud Platforms rose from the ground one after another. A Cloud Bed rose atop each one, and they slowly took their seats.

Seeing that the Great Divine Ability Users were about to discuss the Dao, Lu Yuan also found a place to sit in an open space near Shangqing Tongtian Daoist.

At that moment, waves of exotic fragrance filled the void and immortal music rang in unison. From Lu Yuan's perspective, the Great Divine Ability Users manifested countless Innate Dao Manifestations, each one containing boundless Dao mysteries.

Drawn by these Innate Dao Manifestations, clumps of Innate Spiritual Qi gathered together. Golden Lotuses bloomed throughout the void, while immortal Dao auspicious signs emerged.

Though his mind was immersed in the Dao Manifestations manifested by the Great Divine Ability Users, Lu Yuan did not neglect the Golden Lotuses and immortal Dao auspicious signs in the void.

They were formed from the purest Innate Spiritual Qi, mixed with a trace of Heaven's Dao creation, comparable to Innate Spiritual Items. They descended only when Great Divine Ability Users discussed the Dao.

Lu Yuan split his attention in two. While comprehending the Innate Dao Manifestations manifested by the Great Divine Ability Users and pondering the Innate Great Dao, he also gathered the Golden Lotuses and auspicious signs, refining them into the mana within his body.
