Enlighten the Spirit Child, Begin the Great Dao!

"Thank you, Master, for your aid!"

After Mo Wu's tribulation lightning had fully dissipated, his Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation base was completely stabilized. The young man rushed straight to Xie Fang's side and knelt in prostration.

Now a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, he knew full well that compared to Xie Fang, he was still as far apart as clouds and mud.

With the growth of his strength, his resolve to follow and serve Xie Fang only grew firmer.

Because he understood clearly that if Xie Fang hadn't taken him in back then, he would likely have been bullied to death within the Kirin Clan by now!

Thus, Mo Wu's loyalty to Xie Fang was witnessed by heaven and earth!

"A mere Ginseng Fruit is not enough to make up for your inherent shortcomings."

Xie Fang spoke: "If the opportunity arises in the future, I will fully complete your Five Elements, so you may better attain the Great Dao!"

"Yes, thank you, Master!"

Thirty thousand years passed.

The Dragon Clan still searched for traces of Xie Fang.

After all, the Ancestral Dragon's promised Innate Spiritual Treasure was far too tempting.

Xie Fang, however, paid it no mind.

If the Dragon Clan hadn't provoked him first, he wouldn't have opened a massacre. As for the Ancestral Dragon...

Xie Fang actually wanted to test the strength of a Quasi-Saint!

Besides, the Ancestral Dragon was a treasure trove from head to tail.

Dragon blood could regrow severed limbs, enhance cultivation, and improve physique; dragon bones were incomparably hard and indestructible, comparable to Innate Spiritual Treasures, and could even be refined into divine weapons.

One could say the Ancestral Dragon was a dragon-shaped treasure vault!

"Later, when I kill the Ancestral Dragon, I'll swap his Ancestral Dragon essence blood into you. Then your bloodline power will surely see a greater boost."

Xie Fang said calmly, soothing Mo Wu.

Mo Wu, tears of gratitude streaming, replied: "Yes, thank you, Master, thank you... what? Kill the Ancestral Dragon? Ancestral Dragon essence blood?"

The young man hadn't reacted at first, but when he heard Xie Fang's plan to slay the Ancestral Dragon and gift him the essence blood, Mo Wu's heart leaped, his face full of terror.

The Ancestral Dragon—that was a Quasi-Saint level powerhouse!

Yet Xie Fang seemed to misunderstand: "What? Is Ancestral Dragon essence blood not good enough? Right, you were born from the Kirin Clan; devouring Dragon Clan essence blood might cause rejection. Fine, next time I have the chance, I'll kill Shi Qilin and give you his essence blood instead..."

"Hiss—"

Xie Fang's words made Mo Wu draw in a sharp breath: "My Master, Shi Qilin's cultivation is only a hair weaker than the Ancestral Dragon's—he's also a solid Quasi-Saint. Is this really alright?"

To Mo Wu's worry, Xie Fang only smiled faintly.

His goal was to stand above the entire Primordial World. Whether the Ancestral Dragon or Shi Qilin, when the Calamity ended, they would both be nothing but cannon fodder.

Don't be fooled by their current glory—their peak hadn't even arrived yet. But when the Dragon-Han Calamity concluded, they would all end in tragedy!

"Enough, you've gotten your benefits. Get to work now—these Three Immortal Islands will be our Dao Field from now on."

Xie Fang kicked Mo Wu in the backside, sending him tumbling off the cloud.

Then, Xie Fang opened his spatial storage and dumped out all the heavenly treasures and earthly rarities he'd gathered over the years.

Naturally, these included Innate Items, and even treasures for building halls and pavilions were all thrown down.

With Mo Wu's Primordial Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, building immortal palaces, towers, and jade structures was far too easy for him.

After dumping everything on Mo Wu, Xie Fang found a place thick with Spiritual Qi, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes.

These three immortal islands were vast; they couldn't just have Xie Fang, Mo Wu, and Zhen Yuanzi alone.

Otherwise, what kind of Dao Field would that be?

With a wave of Xie Fang's hand, vast Spiritual Qi surged forth, instantly awakening the intelligence of a nearby green stone.

"Disciple pays respects to Your Honor."

The tiger-headed, naive-looking Qing Shi boy knelt before Xie Fang after being awakened.

Xie Fang nodded slightly, then looked at a nearby Ling Yun grass. With a flick of his finger, a beam of immortal wind shot out, and the Ling Yun grass transformed into a lively, adorable girl.

"Disciple pays respects to Your Honor."

The girl also knelt before Xie Fang and spoke.

"You two shall serve by my side from now on."

Xie Fang said calmly: "Today you have taken form. Qing Shi and Ling Yun shall be your Daoist titles."

"Yes, thank you, Your Honor."

Qing Shi and Ling Yun both bowed respectfully to Xie Fang.

To them, Xie Fang's act of awakening was no less than a supreme opportunity—a grace of creation!

And this scene was witnessed by the surrounding immortal herbs and spiritual plants, which stirred restlessly in response.

All the immortal herbs and spiritual medicines on the Three Immortal Islands had been nourished by abundant Spiritual Qi, and most had developed intelligence.

They simply lacked cultivation methods and could not ascend on their own.

Now, seeing Qing Shi and Ling Yun transformed into humans by Xie Fang, leaping straight to success and bypassing countless years of bitter cultivation—how could they not envy them?

Even more so, countless living beings actively drew close to Xie Fang, bowing down before him.

Countless creatures and heavenly treasures bowed their heads to Xie Fang as if paying homage to a Sage, and the entire Three Immortal Islands presented a scene of extraordinary bustle.

A faint warm current suddenly flowed beside Xie Fang.

This warm current could not be seen or touched, yet Xie Fang truly felt it, momentarily causing him to freeze in surprise.

"Is this... fortune?"

Xie Fang's heart rejoiced. It seemed that his act of enlightening living beings had gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao.

And looking at the creatures kneeling before him, Xie Fang finally understood why later generations of Hongjun, the Three Pure Ones, and others so enjoyed preaching to the multitudes.

On one hand, preaching could stabilize one's own cultivation; on the other, the seekers attracted by the preaching would imperceptibly provide a thread of fortune to the preacher.

If it were a single being, the fortune provided would be imperceptible, but a thousand trickles converge into a great river—with more seekers, fortune would eventually grow powerful.

Gazing at the creatures prostrating before him, Xie Fang felt the desire to preach arise in his heart.

First, for the prosperity of the Three Immortal Islands; second, for his own fortune.

"Since you sincerely worship me, you have formed a good karmic bond with me. I shall now preach the Dao to you for a thousand years. You must listen with calm minds."

As Xie Fang's voice fell, the scene below erupted. Countless beings bowed to Xie Fang endlessly, chattering and crying out in their own ways to express their gratitude.

"Calm your minds..."

Xie Fang nodded slightly, then his expression grew solemn as he slowly began to speak.

His voice was long, and the sound of the Dao rose gently.

"In chaos there is the Dao; heaven and earth open and the Dao is born. There is a thing..."

"What I speak of as the Dao moves cyclically without fail, and can be considered the mother of heaven and earth..."

"The Dao takes heaven and earth as its furnace, nourishing all things as its path..."

One after another, the sounds of the Dao echoed forth, as if flowers rained from the sky and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

In an instant, celestial music suddenly resounded above the Three Immortal Islands, purple mist filled the air, and ten thousand miles of sky were serene and peaceful.

And the living beings within the Three Immortal Islands, one by one, gradually settled into deep concentration amidst this extraordinary phenomenon.
