Revealing a Secret, Primordial Violet Qi (Please Follow, Please Vote!)

"Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Senior Brother Nanji..."

Within Sanqing Palace, Lu Yuan stepped forward and greeted Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Jin Ling, and Immortal Elder Nanji.

"Junior Brother Qingxuan!" Daoist Duobao was exceedingly warm. From the Life Spirit Fruit Lu Yuan had gifted him last time, he had comprehended a trace of the Dao of life and spirituality, which was of great help to his artifact forging.

This left Daoist Duobao, who had always been obsessed with the Dao of artifact forging, with an excellent impression of Lu Yuan.

Thus, the moment he saw Lu Yuan, Daoist Duobao pulled him over to speak of his breakthroughs in artifact forging, thanking him again and again.

"Senior Brother truly is a heaven-gifted genius. This Dao of the spiritual nature of magic treasures stands alone within artifact forging. Perhaps one day, you may even discuss the Dao with Second Martial Uncle."

After hearing Daoist Duobao's account, Lu Yuan could not help but feel deeply moved. In his view, Daoist Duobao's talent and comprehension were no weaker than those great divine ability users in the current Primordial World who possessed the foundations of Innate Sacred Beings.

But then again, it made sense. If Daoist Duobao did not possess such innate qualities, why would his Master, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, have chosen him as his founding eldest disciple?

One had to know that among the personal disciples beneath Pangu Sanqing in later generations, not one was a simple character. And how could the founding eldest disciple, capable of subduing all his fellow disciples and inheriting the mantle of the Sanqing Dao lineage, possibly be ordinary?

Hearing Lu Yuan's flattery, Daoist Duobao shook his head and laughingly scolded, "Junior Brother Qingxuan, with Eldest Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, and Master right here, aren't those words enough to shame your senior brother to death?"

"Haha, Senior Brother, Junior Brother Qingxuan is encouraging you. Even if your artifact forging cannot surpass Second Martial Uncle's, it will not stop the two of you from discussing the Dao."

Beside him, Saint Mother Jin Ling looked at Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist with smiling phoenix eyes and a mischievous glint. "Second Martial Uncle, isn't that right?"

"What Martial Niece Jin Ling says is quite right!"

Having been teased by a junior, the ever-stern Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist did not get angry.

At present, Pangu Sanqing were one entity. As for the personal disciples under Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, both Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Grand Pure One Laozi cherished them as though they were their own disciples.

If Daoist Duobao could make something of himself in artifact forging, or even stand shoulder to shoulder with him, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist would only be pleased.

After all, as one of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist possessed not only boundless power, but also the breadth of heart to accept that "the disciple surpasses the master"!

Moreover, if a disciple who surpassed his master emerged beneath Pangu Sanqing, would that not be the very proof of Pangu's Orthodox Lineage's virtue of teaching?

Immortal Elder Nanji, beside them, slightly nodded at Lu Yuan in acknowledgment, smiling as he watched it all unfold.

Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, who had remained silent all this while, shot Saint Mother Jin Ling a glare. Then he looked at Lu Yuan and laughingly scolded, "Qingxuanzi, you left Kunlun Mountain Dao Field for one or two thousand years, and the moment you return, you feed your Senior Brother a bowl of bewitching potion?"

"Hehe, Master, wasn't I just cheering Senior Brother on? Besides, if Senior Brother achieves something in the future, won't that bring you glory as well?"

Shangqing Tongtian Daoist was free-spirited and unconcerned with trifles. Lu Yuan knew he was not angry, so he replied with a cheerful smile.

Hearing this, Shangqing Tongtian Daoist ignored Lu Yuan's bewitching potion and gave him a once-over. "Qingxuanzi, did you run off from Kunlun Mountain Dao Field to collect those bits of junk again...?"

"Master, listen to yourself. What do you mean, bits of junk? Every living thing and every object in this Primordial World was evolved by the power of the Heavenly Dao; each is a one-of-a-kind existence.

"Beyond my pursuit of the Great Dao, this is my one interest. In this life, I will gather every spiritual plant and spiritual object in the Primordial World and build a 'Myriad Spirit Garden.'"

Lu Yuan looked at Shangqing Tongtian Daoist, and there was a trace of grand ambition in his voice.

"What Qingxuanzi says is correct. Every blade of grass and every tree in the Primordial World contains the power of Heavenly Dao creation.

"Since Ancestral God Pangu created Heaven and Earth, the Primordial World has passed through two Dao eras. Beneath the many great calamities, who knows how many species of exotic flowers and strange herbs have vanished from the Primordial World?

"It is truly a pity. If Qingxuanzi builds a 'Myriad Spirit Garden,' he may preserve some species and spare them from extinction in the Primordial World!"

Grand Pure One Laozi seemed deep in thought, a gleam of light flashing through his eyes as he greatly approved of Lu Yuan's ambition.

"Hehe, Eldest Martial Uncle understands me best!"

Having gained Grand Pure Daoist's approval, Lu Yuan was delighted. He cast Shangqing Tongtian Daoist a proud glance.

Hearing Grand Pure Daoist's words, Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist and Shangqing Tongtian Daoist nodded slightly. Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Jin Ling, and Immortal Elder Nanji beside them also seemed thoughtful.

"Perhaps I should follow Qingxuanzi's example and collect some exotic flowers and strange herbs as well..."

Within Sanqing Palace, after Pangu Sanqing emerged from seclusion and saw their disciples gathered together, they began expounding the Dao after exchanging pleasantries, giving Daoist Duobao, Saint Mother Jin Ling, Immortal Elder Nanji, and Lu Yuan special instruction.

Naturally, White Crane Boy and the Water Fire Boys, who attended upon Pangu Sanqing, also listened from the side.

However, with cultivation barely at the True Immortal realm, they gained little.

Grand Pure Daoist expounded the Dao of Being and Non-being, using a single golden core to evolve the arising, existing, withering, and falling of all things. It already bore a faint embryonic form of the Golden Core Great Dao of the Grand Pure lineage in later generations.

Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist expounded on Yuanshi Heavenly King creating Heaven and Earth and evolving Innate Ancestral Qi. Ancestral Qi merged with the Great Dao, with all myriad Daos returning to a single qi. This was the Qi Refining Great Dao derived from the Dao of artifact forging.

Shangqing Tongtian Daoist expounded the Dao of Severing Heaven and the Final Epoch. With the Qingping Sword, he severed the fetters of Heaven and Earth and seized a glimmer of hope. Should Heaven and Earth be destroyed, one would walk the Dao of the Final Epoch. The core essence of this Dao lay in cultivation.

This exposition of the Dao benefited Lu Yuan enormously. From the Great Daos of his three seniors, he faintly comprehended a trace of his own Dao.

Yet that spark of inspiration flashed and vanished. His accumulated cultivation was insufficient, and his foundations too shallow, so he was unable to penetrate it.

Still, Lu Yuan was not discouraged. A Golden Immortal's lifespan was boundless. So long as he did not encounter an external calamity, he had ample time to build up his foundations.

Besides, having entered beneath Pangu Sanqing, he would have many chances to hear the Dao in the future. One day, he would thoroughly penetrate his own Dao.

Within Sanqing Palace, once Pangu Sanqing had finished expounding the Dao, Senior Brother Daoist Duobao, Second Senior Sister Saint Mother Jin Ling, and Immortal Elder Nanji successively bowed and bid farewell, returning to their cave abodes to enter seclusion and digest what they had gained from hearing the Dao.

After the three departed, Lu Yuan, who had stubbornly lingered without leaving, stepped forward. His expression grave, he looked at Pangu Sanqing and said, "I ask Eldest Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, and Master to seal off the surroundings and isolate everything. This disciple has a matter concerning the rise and fall of the Dao lineage to report."

After speaking, Lu Yuan pointed toward the heavens, his face utterly solemn as he looked at Pangu Sanqing.

He knew that Pangu Sanqing possessed Great God Pangu's inheritance and certainly had secret arts capable of cutting off the Heavenly Dao.

Upon hearing this, the Three Purities Daoists revealed looks of surprise, and their hearts gave a start.

Today, on a sudden whim, the three of them had joined forces to deduce the matter, only to discover that there was a world-shaking opportunity.

Yet it had left no trace all along. Now it seemed that this world-shaking opportunity had fallen upon Qingxuanzi.

After exchanging glances, the three deployed a secret art of Pangu, cutting off the Heavenly Dao. Within Sanqing Palace, the Great Dao vanished, while a desolate, profound radiance permeated the air.

"Alright, Qingxuanzi, you may speak now. This place is cut off from the Heavenly Dao and bolstered by Pangu's power. Even If it were a Saint's Divine Sense, it would not be able to find us!"

Yuqing Yuanshi Daoist looked at Lu Yuan, his tone solemn.

"Eldest Martial Uncle, Second Martial Uncle, Master, after this disciple refined the Lingbao, the 'Profound Yellow World-Generating Bead,' I obtained a fragment of Earth Emperor Yuejian's primordial spirit.

After refining it, I discovered that the fragment of primordial spirit actually contained a Hunyuan secret art passed down orally only among the Three Sovereigns Heavenly Emperors.

This Hunyuan secret art can use the power of merit and destiny to condense Primordial Violet Qi, helping one charge into the Hunyuan Dao Realm!"

Drawing a deep breath, Lu Yuan looked at the Three Purities Daoists and revealed this secret. When his voice fell, the Three Purities Daoists' pupils contracted slightly.
