Supreme Clarity Profound Qi True Method (Seeking Follow-up Reads and Monthly Tickets!)

As time slowly passed, many living beings were eliminated from the Taixu Illusory Realm, directly losing their qualification for selection.

In this selection of subordinates and servants through the Taixu Illusory Realm, Lu Yuan chiefly tested whether these Qingxu Mountain living beings possessed steadfast hearts of seeking Dao and pure dispositions.

In cultivation, one's disposition was the primary focus. As future members of Qingxu Mountain's Dao lineage, there absolutely could not be those with vicious hearts who committed every kind of evil.

Before long, the results of the trial were announced. Ten followers had been selected. Six among them were cultivators who had attained the Dao Fruit of immortality, while the remaining four were mortal living beings who had yet to achieve the Immortal Dao.

Of the six cultivators who had attained the Dao Fruit of immortality, three possessed the foundations of Innate Living Beings: Qingxiaozi, transformed from the Innate Spiritual Root Three Suns Azure Lightning Bamboo; Huangxuzi, transformed from the earth vein essence of the great land; and Beiyuan Daoist, who had been touched by a wisp of the power of the Innate Water Element Origin.

Of the remaining three, two possessed Origin Immortal cultivation, while only one was a True Immortal.

As for the four mortal living beings who had not cultivated into the Immortal Dao, although they did not possess Innate Foundations, they had been able to persist until the end and secure places to enter the Qingxu Mountain Dao Field. In Lu Yuan's eyes, their dispositions and perseverance were somewhat commendable as well.

After selecting the ten followers, Lu Yuan formed a hand seal and pointed with one finger, casting a spell to return the projected power of the Innate Grand Formation, the Profound Yellow Pure Turgid Qi Grand Formation, to the formation itself.

Looking at the dejected Qingxu Mountain living beings, Lu Yuan remained expressionless as he said coldly, "This trial and selection has now concluded. Those who were not chosen need not be disheartened. Every kalpa from now on, the Qingxu Mountain Dao Field will hold a trial. Leave on your own..."

Once his words fell, Lu Yuan stepped upon auspicious clouds and led the ten chosen followers away from Qingxu Mountain's main peak, returning to the Cave Heaven Dao Field.

After returning to the Cave Heaven, Lu Yuan took out a purple jade slip and tossed it to the ten people before him who had just entered the Qingxu Mountain Dao Field.

"This jade slip contains a copy of the Supreme Clarity Profound Qi True Method, enough for you to cultivate to the Golden Immortal Dao realm.

"If any among you can comprehend a trace of the True Meaning of Shangqing Great Dao from this Supreme Clarity Profound Qi True Method, this True Self will accept them as a Registered Disciple."

Seeing the delight on their faces, Lu Yuan issued another warning. "This Supreme Clarity Profound Qi True Method was simplified by this True Self from the inheritance of my esteemed teacher, Supreme Clarity Dao Venerable Tongtian. Though it is a lower-tier true method within the inheritance of Pangu Sanqing's Dao lineage, in the Primordial World, it is still a superior Immortal Dao inheritance.

"In the future, you may cultivate this inheritance yourselves, but you must not privately pass it on to others. Those who violate this rule will have their cultivation abolished and be expelled from the Qingxu Mountain Dao Field.

"However, should you attain the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and cultivate immortal lord bodies in the future, this True Self will permit you to pass the Supreme Clarity Profound Qi True Method on to your disciples!"

"As you command! Many thanks for Immortal Lord's generous favor!"

Upon hearing the origins of the Supreme Clarity Profound Qi True Method, the ten cultivators before Lu Yuan were shaken to their cores. Though they had never heard of Supreme Clarity Dao Venerable Tongtian, they understood what a Dao Venerable's Dao achievement signified.

Before Dao Ancestor Hongjun attained the Dao and became a Saint, Great Divine Ability Users who had attained the rank of Dao Venerable were peak experts of the Primordial World!

This Immortal Lord Qingxuan was actually a disciple under a Dao Venerable. It was truly an enormous surprise for them!

"Enough. From today onward, build your Dao fields upon Qingxu Mountain's main peak. Henceforth, the Dao lineage of my Qingxu Mountain branch shall take root here!" Lu Yuan waved his hand and dismissed them.

After all, his purpose in taking in subordinates and servants was to have these followers handle trivial matters for him!

After the ten gradually withdrew, Lu Yuan sat cross-legged within the immortal hall of the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, performing Breathing Exercises with Innate Spiritual Qi and concentrating on refining that strand of Innate Metal Element Qi.

From the Innate Spiritual Qi containing all five elements, he drew out strands of Innate Metal Element Vital Qi, refining them and filling them into the Lung Aperture Divine Treasury in his chest.

Lu Yuan sat upon the Cloud Bed, the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit above his head manifesting. An earthen-yellow pillar of qi stood upright, while Innate Metal Element Qi swirled within the Lung Aperture Divine Treasury in his chest. As he refined it with water-wearing-stone persistence, it continued to grow in quantity.

In the blink of an eye, three thousand years passed. Lu Yuan's mind returned from its dim and boundless state, the Auspicious Cloud Dao Fruit above his head withdrew into his body, and he opened Both Hands—his eyes.

"Huff!"

After exhaling a mouthful of turbid qi, Lu Yuan prepared to return to the Kunlun Mountain Dao Field. He had been away from the Dao Field for more than seven thousand years, and it would soon be time for him and Senior Brother Daoist Duobao to take turns standing watch over it.

However, before leaving Qingxu Mountain, he needed to seal this Cave Heaven Blessed Land. The ten followers also required some arrangements.

"All of you, come see me at once..."

Lu Yuan formed a hand seal, and a streak of spiritual light swept across the void. His voice Rang Out in the ears of the ten subordinates and servants at the Qingxu Mountain main peak Dao Field.

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's summons, the ten did not dare delay. Following the spiritual light's guidance, they entered Qingxu Cave Heaven.

"Greetings, Immortal Lord!"

After the ten Stepped Into the immortal hall, they bowed and Performed A Bow toward Lu Yuan.

"Rise!" Lu Yuan secretly nodded as he looked at the ten before him. Three thousand years had passed, and after cultivating the Supreme Clarity Profound Qi True Method, their cultivation had advanced considerably. At the very least, all ten were now Immortal Dao living beings!

"I shall return to Kunlun Mountain to pay respects to the Sanqing Dao Venerable and cultivate under my esteemed teacher, Supreme Clarity Dao Venerable Tongtian. For a very long period to come, I will not be cultivating in Qingxu Cave Heaven. After I leave this time, I will seal Qingxu Cave Heaven, and you ten shall cultivate at the Qingxu Mountain main peak Dao Field from now on.

"At present, the Witch and Demon Clans are contending for supremacy in the Primordial World. These two clans delight in battle and fight fiercely, so do not form karma with them. Should the Witch and Demon Clans invade the Qingxu Mountain range, invoke this True Self's name. I expect they will not form karma with my Pangu Sanqing lineage over the Qingxu Mountain range.

"Qingxiaozi, Huangxuzi, Beiyuan Daoist—after this True Self returns to cultivate at the Kunlun Mountain Dao Field, the Qingxu Mountain main peak Dao Field shall be entrusted to you three!"

Hearing Lu Yuan's arrangements, Qingxiaozi, Huangxuzi, Beiyuan Daoist, and the other ten clasped their fists with Both Hands and said in unison, "As you command. We will certainly guard the Dao Field well for Immortal Lord!"

After making the arrangements, Lu Yuan bestowed a portion of resource spiritual items upon the ten, including Water of Life, Essence of Earth Veins, and several Postnatal Immortal Root spirit fruits.

Then he waved his hand and dismissed them.

After gathering another batch of spiritual-item resources from Qingxu Cave Heaven, inspecting the three Innate Spiritual Roots—the Purple Green Vital Qi Lotus, Profound Yin Extreme Fiend Fruit, and Tree of Life—as well as the two Innate Spiritual Items, the Black Gourd and Three-Petal Green Lotus, Lu Yuan sealed Qingxu Cave Heaven. Stepping upon auspicious clouds, he headed toward Kunlun Mountain.

Three thousand years later, Lu Yuan returned to the Kunlun Mountain Dao Field. There were still five or six thousand years before it was time for him and Daoist Duobao to stand watch over the Dao Field.

After greeting Immortal Elder Nanji and Saint Mother Jin Ling, Lu Yuan returned to Qingxuan Hall in Shangqing Palace and once more devoted himself to secluded cultivation, refining Innate Metal Element Vital Qi.

Within Purple Sky Palace, the Saint's Dao voice lingered in the air, and various omens appeared—heavenly maidens scattered flowers, golden lotuses surged from the earth, and auspicious signs filled the surroundings!
