After placing the immortal pool into the Spirit Platform Secret Realm within his Purple Mansion Ancestral Aperture, Lu Yuan picked another twelve Fruits of Life and fashioned a wooden box from branches of the Tree of Life to hold them, storing it in the Spirit Platform Secret Realm within his Purple Mansion Ancestral Aperture as well.
Casting another glance at the Top-grade Innate Spiritual Root, the "Tree of Life," Lu Yuan had no intention of taking it away. After all, this was one of the three gathering places of dragon veins in the "Cave Heaven Blessed Land," and also the place where the Tree of Life had first been nurtured.
It could be said to be the most suitable place to plant the Tree of Life!
Moreover, Innate Spiritual Roots differed from Innate Spiritual Treasures. Their strength lay in suppressing fortune and nurturing spiritual materials and resources; they had limited use in enhancing a cultivator's combat and killing prowess.
Compared to Innate Spiritual Treasures, Innate Spiritual Roots were also more likely to draw the covetous eyes of cultivators harboring evil intentions.
As for assisting cultivators in comprehending the Great Dao, Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Spiritual Roots were nearly equal in effect.
It was simply that Innate Spiritual Treasures evolved the Great Dao through Innate Divine Prohibitions, while Innate Spiritual Roots displayed the Great Dao through the source runes upon their bodies.
Both were born in response to the Great Dao, and there was no fundamental difference in the intent of the Great Dao they contained!
In any case, the Tree of Life had already been refined by him, so leaving it here would not affect its suppression of fortune.
As for comprehending the Great Dao of Life contained within its body, Lu Yuan was in no hurry.
The Way of Life contained in the Liquid of Life and the Fruits of Life within the Spirit Platform Secret Realm of his Purple Mansion Ancestral Aperture was already enough for him to comprehend.
The Life Origin runes on the Tree of Life contained a Great Dao of Life that was far too profound and abstruse. Lu Yuan, with his Middle Stage Heavenly Immortal cultivation, was not suited to delving deeply into it.
Furthermore, after his Manifestation and Birth, his innate inheritance had contained only an innate Dao diagram expounding the Innate Way of Clarity and Turbidity.
Naturally, Lu Yuan was unwilling to take the Innate Way of Clarity and Turbidity—a mere third-rate Great Dao beneath the Yin-Yang and Profound Yellow Great Dao—as his primary Great Dao.
Although all Three Thousand Great Daos could lead to the Dao, with no distinction between high and low, noble and base, cultivating a supreme Great Dao and cultivating an ordinary one were as far apart as heaven and earth in both the difficulty of attaining the Dao and the height of one's combat power.
Ordinary Great Daos were easy to begin cultivating and could readily be cultivated to profound realms, but their potential paled compared to supreme Great Daos.
Cultivating a supreme Great Dao, on the other hand, was difficult at the outset, and reaching profound realms was even harder. Yet when it came to the threshold of attaining the Dao, it was comparatively easier.
If attaining the Dao through a supreme Great Dao had a difficulty of "ten," then attaining the Dao through an ordinary Great Dao had a difficulty of at least "sixty," "seventy," or even "ninety" or "one hundred."
This information had been mentioned in a trace of inheritance information from the Life God-Demon mixed within the Tree of Life's inheritance.
Therefore, before determining his primary Great Dao, Lu Yuan would never devote too much effort to comprehending the Great Dao of Life.
After all, having traversed into this Primordial World where Dao laws manifested openly and a path of transcendence existed, Lu Yuan naturally refused to forever crawl beneath the feet of Saints and become one of those ants!
After collecting the Innate Spiritual Treasures and Innate Spiritual Roots within the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, Lu Yuan had ample cultivation resources, so he cultivated peacefully within the Daoist grounds.
While refining the Profound Yellow Pure Turgid Diagram and comprehending the Profound Yellow Clarity and Turbidity Great Dao within it, he also studied the three Great Daos of "Copy," "Dao Script," and "Clarity and Turbidity" in the Jade Disk of Creation fragment.
While Lu Yuan was in secluded cultivation, the Great Divine Ability Users and Innate God-Demons of the Primordial World had already rushed beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens, passed through the world barrier, and entered the chaos.
In the chaos beyond the heavens, all around was a gray haze, with no distinction between light and darkness. Chaotic qi billowed everywhere, and the place was perilous beyond measure.
This chaotic qi appeared gentle and tranquil, yet it actually concealed great danger. Without the strength of a Great Luo Dao Lord or a supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure for protection, one could not enter it.
Otherwise, under the erosion of the chaotic qi, even those with the foundations of Innate God-Demons would meet with the end of their Primordial Spirits being extinguished and their Dao Fruits dissolving.
Moreover, the chaos was boundless and directionless. Even Great Luo Dao Lords and Great Divine Ability Users, once they lost their bearings, could not even return to the Primordial World.
Thus, the Great Luo Dao Lords and Great Divine Ability Users of the Primordial World generally did not lightly set foot in the chaos.
However, faced with the Saint's sermon at Purple Skies Palace, the Great Luo Dao Lords and Great Divine Ability Users of the Primordial World naturally would not be frightened off by such a small risk.
After all, great danger often accompanied Great Opportunities. They too were unwilling to become ants!
Within the chaos, Fuxi and Nuwa followed a faint glimmer of spiritual intuition in the darkness, exploring toward Deep Within the Chaos.
They had entered the chaos beyond the heavens over a thousand years ago, yet not to mention Purple Skies Palace, they had not encountered even a single living being.
There was neither time nor space, only gray chaotic qi everywhere and deathly silence.
Gazing at the vast, boundless chaos, Nuwa's pretty face carried a trace of confusion as she looked at Fuxi beside her and said, "Brother, this chaos is boundless and directionless. How are we to find Purple Skies Palace?"
"We can only search slowly and patiently. But little sister, there is no need to worry. There is still a long time before the three-thousand-year deadline for the sermon..."
Fuxi comforted Nuwa, though a trace of helplessness also flashed across his face.
The two patiently continued exploring the chaos according to that spiritual intuition in the darkness.
Who knew how long passed before two golden bridges suddenly appeared Deep Within the Chaos. At the sight of these bridges, Fuxi and Nuwa were overjoyed.
They immediately understood that these were the Guiding Golden Bridges of Purple Skies Palace and must not be missed at any cost.
Fuxi and Nuwa flashed forward and stepped onto the Guiding Golden Bridges. In a moment of dizziness, the chaotic qi and the Guiding Golden Bridges before them vanished together. An ancient Daoist temple suddenly appeared before their eyes.
Though this Daoist temple appeared ancient and natural, it invisibly emitted an indescribably weighty majesty, giving one a sense of grandeur and magnificence.
Outside Purple Skies Palace, two gatekeeping Daoist acolytes, one man and one woman, hurriedly opened the doors of the Daoist temple upon seeing Fuxi and Nuwa.
After slightly nodding to acknowledge the two, Fuxi and Nuwa stepped into Purple Skies Palace.
Within Purple Skies Palace, a cloud bed stood upon the central high platform. In the first row nearest the cloud bed were six Purple Cushions.
Behind these six Purple Cushions were two thousand nine hundred and ninety-four white cushions, making exactly Three Thousand in all.
At this moment, three figures were already seated upon the first batch of Purple Cushions, their auras harmonizing with one another.
The leader was an old man with crane-white hair and a childlike face, his expression indifferent. Behind him was a middle-aged man whose brows brimmed with majesty. The last was a Youth with sharp eyes and a trace of keen edge.
"Fuxi and Nuwa greet the Daoist brothers of Sanqing!"
Upon seeing the three, Fuxi and Nuwa stepped forward to greet them. They had met and discussed the Dao before; all of them were Great Divine Ability Users of the Primordial World, so how could they possibly not know one another?
One had to know that even Innate Sacred Beings with the lineage of top-tier Innate God-Demons, after Manifestation and Birth, possessed cultivation only one level above ordinary Innate God-Demons—merely the Golden Immortal realm.
The path of seeking the Dao and cultivation that followed still depended on one's own Step by step bitter training. It was simply impossible for such an exaggerated situation as becoming a Great Luo Dao Lord the moment one manifested.
It was only that Innate Sacred Beings and top-tier Innate God-Demons surpassed ordinary Innate God-Demons in lineage, fortune, and aptitude, allowing them to rise more swiftly.
All of them were Great Divine Ability Users rising in this Dao Epoch, and the path of cultivation could not possibly be built behind closed doors, nor could one rise overnight. Naturally, their paths in seeking the Dao would intersect.
"Long time no see. The cultivation of you two Dao friends has grown ever deeper!"
Upon seeing Fuxi and Nuwa, Sanqing, seated cross-legged on the Purple Cushions in the first row, also clasped his hands in greeting.
