Zhenyuanzi's Enlightenment, the Pure Quiet Glazed Bottle!
"Zhenyuanzi?"
Dao Seeking Palace, Ye Xuan was in Secluded Cultivation, comprehending the Great Dao of Painting. He heard an Electronic Sound again, and his eyes, which seemed to hold the stars of the heavens, slowly opened, revealing a strange light.
"At this time, you chose to come see me..."
After a brief moment of thought, Ye Xuan understood that the other party had come to seek his guidance on the Dao.
In the Primordial World, if we talk about who has the greatest understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos, below the Dao Ancestor, it would be Ye Xuan. Apart from Daoist Hongjun, who holds most of the Jade Plate Fragment and has mastered most of the Three Thousand Laws, it is Ye Xuan. His strength has already reached the Late-Saint Stage, making him the most powerful among Sage.
The Zhenyuanzi Yuanzi, as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, was born with the Innate Spiritual Treasure Book of Earth, which was formed from the membrane of the Primordial World Earth Fetal Membrane. The Three Thousand Great Daos he comprehended were one of the Five Elements Dao, the Great Dao of Earth.
"It seems he has come to seek my guidance because he has not yet perfected the Great Dao of Earth, and is stuck at a nascent, intangible barrier to Sage..."
Ye Xuan's strength had already reached the Late-Saint Stage, the Primordial Seven Heavens Realm.
If one were to unleash their full power, they could even ascend to the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Among the Innate God-Demon, some became saints, while others clashed with the Dao Ancestor. As for Zhenyuanzi and others, they were still unable to reach the Realm of Sages.
How could Zhenyuanzi and the others accept this? In Ye Xuan's view, Zhenyuanzi's arrival now was already a sign of backbone, since Ye Xuan welcomes all comers and usually gives them some pointers.
However, the other party still chose to rely on himself, and only came to seek Ye Xuan's guidance when he could no longer reach the realm of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal. This shows what kind of perseverance he had.
The method of achieving sainthood should not be lightly passed on to others.
However, for Ye Xuan, teaching others the methods to become saints was actually somewhat beneficial to his own advancement to the realm of the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan also looked at the light screen. If he could instruct the other party, he would receive a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Pure Quiet Glazed Bottle. If he could not see the other party, he would receive a Top-grade Innate Spiritual Roots.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Xuan finally spoke.
"Choose the first one, and meet him."
After Ye Xuan made his choice, another Electronic Sound entered his ears.
[Ding-dong!]
[The host has chosen to meet him. The Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Pure Quiet Glazed Bottle, is being issued. Please inspect it yourself.]
In the void, another supreme treasure, radiating endless Innate Divine Light, fell into his hands.
It is indeed Pure Quiet Glazed Bottle!
Looking at the new treasure bottle in his hand, Ye Xuan nodded in agreement.
"Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure! This supreme treasure can indeed be used to house my ink pool and enhance the sharpness of my painting skills!"
However, Ye Xuan only possesses two of the four treasures inherent to painting. He has two other Innate Spiritual Treasure that he has not yet obtained: an inkstone and a painting ink.
If one obtains the ink, one can nurture it using this Innate Spiritual Treasure.
He found that he had obtained another Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
Ye Xuan's gaze also turned towards the foot of Spirit Mountain.
At the foot of Spirit Mountain, a dark yellow auspicious cloud floated quietly.
An old Daoist priest with an air of otherworldly wisdom, holding a whisk and cradling a book exuding an earthy yellow Daoist aura, was none other than Zhenyuanzi, who was known as the "King of the World."
A hint of unease crossed Zhenyuanzi's face.
It's clear that Ye Xuan's confrontation with the Dao Ancestor high above the Nine Heavens has completely shattered this Ancestor of Earth Immortals's understanding. As one of the Innate God-Demon and demons, Ye Xuan is worlds apart from the others.
In Zhenyuanzi's view, if he continued to act willfully, he would end up like his old friend, Daoist Hongyun, missing out on the chance to Saint Position. So he immediately headed to Spirit Mountain.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan remained calm and spoke directly.
"Kong Xuan!"
"Another distinguished guest has arrived at the foot of Spirit Mountain. Go and receive him."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Kong Xuan, who was comprehending the Great Dao within the Five Elements and Five Directions Formation, immediately opened his eyes, bowed to Ye Xuan, and then headed towards the foot of Spirit Mountain.
When Ye Xuan received distinguished guests and discussed the Dao with them, he would also give guidance to his disciples.
This was an unparalleled stroke of luck for Daoist Kong Xuan, and a look of ecstatic joy appeared on his face.
Upon entering the foot of Spirit Mountain, Kong Xuan was taken aback to see that the visitor was Zhenyuanzi. However, remembering that his master had once clashed with the Dao Ancestor, he nodded and, without wasting words, led him directly into the Dao Seeking Palace.
Upon seeing Zhenyuanzi arrive, the gates of the Dao Seeking Palace, which had been shrouded in heavy law power, slowly opened with a melodious Dao chant.
"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi!"
Ye Xuan's voice was calm, yet it seemed to carry an irresistible power of law, instantly piercing through layers of void and entering Zhenyuanzi Daoist's ears.
"Since everyone is here, why don't you come in and enjoy some tea with me to discuss philosophy?"
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi, who was slightly flustered outside the Dao Seeking Palace, trembled.
Sensing the aura of majesty surpassing that of a Sage emanating from Ye Xuan, they dared not be negligent. After adjusting their Daoist robes, they bowed and spoke.
"Zhenyuanzi pays respects to the Dao Venerable!"
After bowing to him, Zhenyuanzi entered the Dao Seeking Palace. With each step he took, he felt a growing sense of awe. Within this hall, his Quasi-Sage Perfection strength seemed as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.
Zhenyuanzi looked up at the high platform and saw Ye Xuan sitting on it. There was no strange phenomenon around him, but he had the feeling of being the true embodiment of the Heavenly Dao.
"I have come uninvited, and I hope the Daoist Master Dao Venerable!"
Looking at Ye Xuan, Zhenyuanzi Yuanzi lowered his eyes and bowed again.
Kong Xuan, standing to the side, immediately bowed in greeting.
"Disciple greets Master!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and flicked his fingertips. A cyan futon formed from endless Daoist energy appeared beneath them.
"Fellow Daoist is quite lucky. If it weren't for Houtu Daoist Houtu's benevolent heart, choosing to use her Ancestral Witch True Body to transform into Reincarnation, you would still have to ask Houtu Daoist Houtu if you wanted to rely on the Great Dao of Earth to enter the realm of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal."
Below, Zhenyuanzi Yuanzi remained silent.
Ye Xuan Zhenyuanzi Xuan's implication: if Daoist Houtu hadn't chosen the Way of Reincarnation, the Great Dao of Earth would have been proven by her long ago, and Zhenyuanzi wouldn't have had to come knocking.
After tapping it once, Ye Xuan spoke again.
"I know your purpose in coming."
"You wish to walk the Way of Laws, but have been trapped at the level of Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal for ten thousand years. Do you feel that even with the Book of Earth in your hands, the Great Dao of Earth is still like a mirage, something you can only dream of but never reach?"
Zhenyuanzi looked distressed and let out a long sigh.
"The Dao Venerable possesses discerning eyes!"
"Since returning from listening to the Dao in the Purple Cloud Palace, I have sat in seclusion in Wuzhuang Temple for countless years, studying the accompanying Book of Earth of the earth. I claim to have some understanding of the Great Dao of Earth, but no matter how I deduce it, there is always a layer of mist separating me from the Primordial Dao Fruit. I humbly request the Dao Venerable to enlighten me!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan did not reply directly. Instead, he casually made a gesture, and a long brush radiating endless Innate Divine Light appeared in the void.
A Top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.
The Great Dao of Painting, one of the four innate treasures, Innate Danqing Brush!
"Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, in your opinion, what is the Great Dao of Earth?"
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi was taken aback, then said in a deep voice, "Earth is the mother of all things, bearing the Qiankun, possessing great virtue and carrying all things; it is the essence and soul of the earth."
"Shallow!"
Ye Xuan remained expressionless, uttered two words, and with his long brush, he slashed through the void.
"The Buzhou Mountain Range are the spine of the Great God Pangu; could they be the Great Dao of Earth?"
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.
"Yes!"
"The Great Dao of Earth, one of its fundamental images, is also the Great Way of Gravity."
"The Great Dao of Earth nurtures all things, but it also possesses the power to suppress."
"The unity of the two is the Great Dao of Earth, and within it lies a profound mystery."
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi Yuanzi held his breath and concentrated. Although he had already basically comprehended the Great Dao of Earth, there was only the truly crucial point that he had not yet truly mastered.
"The Way of Painting Qiankun, the Great Dao of Earth!"
Ye Xuan picked up his brush and drew ten long dragon-like runes in the void, exuding the vast aura of the Heavenly Dao. Then, he outlined twelve giant python-like veins below, revealing a steady rhythm of the earth.
"The heavens have ten Heavenly Stems, and the earth has twelve Earthly Branches; these form the framework of the Universe and the ultimate principle of Yin and Yang."
With a flick of his brush, Ye Xuan caused the Ten Heavenly Stems and Twelve Earthly Branches to intertwine with the power of the Five Elements, producing other mysterious phenomena.
"All things in heaven and earth exist within Yin and Yang, and the same is true of the Way of Five Elements."
"However, the Way of Five Elements are not apparent when considered in isolation."
"If the Way of Five Elements are combined with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, then the power of innate Yin Earth and innate Yang Earth can be generated."
"The first type is innate Yang Earth, the Innate Wu Earth Qi!"
Where the pen tip touched the ground, the void trembled, and an aura as majestic as a mountain and as hard as diamond was revealed. Zhenyuanzi's eyes widened in shock. He had seen this Innate Wu Earth Qi when Ye Xuan made his move, but he had never remembered it.
"The Innate Wu Earth Qi is the master of the fate of all things, and the defining element of the Heavenly Dipper."
"As for the second divine soil, it is the Innate Ji Earth Qi!"
Ye Xuan's brushstrokes were gentle and delicate. With a single stroke in his hand, the Innate Ji Earth Qi transformed into an endless, fertile wilderness, nurturing all living things.
"As for the third one, the Innate Chen Earth Qi is the essence of a water reservoir, benefiting all living beings!"
"The Innate Xu Earth) is the soul of the Fire Treasury, capable of burning away evil spirits!"
"The Innate Chou Earth, the root of the metal treasury, kills all things!"
"The Innate Wei Earth, the source of the Wood element, ensures the continuity of life!"
Looking at the Great Dao of Earth in Ye Xuan's hand, which was both opposing and complementary, he saw it transformed into six roaring dragons that circled above the Ye Xuan Dao Seeking Palace.
Each giant dragon represents a supreme path that leads to the attainment of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal realm!
"This..."
Zhenyuanzi's face showed shock, his eyes filled with unprecedented joy and awe.
In his view, the Great Dao of Earth was a solid stone, heavy and steady. He never imagined that the Great Dao of Yin-Yang would be involved in it and that it would be combined with the Ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches. The Great Dao of Earth could actually produce six mysterious and profound images.
Wu! Ji! Chen!
Dog! Ox! Sheep!
Only after these six images intertwine can we find the true Mother Earth, the true Great Dao of Earth.
"The Ten Heavenly Stems represent Heaven, Twelve Earthly Branches represent Earth."
"Once you master it, the day you use it to derive the other Three Thousand Great Daos will be the day you attain enlightenment."
Ye Xuan waved his hand, and the strange phenomena in the sky slowly dissipated.
"This humble Daoist priest..."
"I have learned a great deal! Truly, if I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening!"
After comprehending the profound mystery, Zhenyuanzi was struck dumb, and his whole being was plunged into a profound enlightenment.
The shackles that had troubled Zhenyuanzi for ten thousand years, which he had been unable to unravel, suddenly cracked with a sound.
"It's truly unbelievable that the Daoist Venerable Jieyin's understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos has reached such a profound level that he can casually borrow a trace of the Great Dao's power."
After regaining his senses, Daoist Zhenyuanzi was once again shocked.
This method of spreading the Dao directly borrows the great power of the Great Dao of Earth, something even the Dao Ancestor of yesteryear could not accomplish.
Thinking of this, he bowed solemnly to Ye Xuan, not as a formality, but as a profound respect for his mentor.
"Thank you for bestowing this Dharma upon me, Zhenyuanzi Yuanzi, will forever remember this Dao Venerable. Once I have truly comprehended the Great Dao of Earth, I will certainly pay you a visit and be at your service!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan merely chuckled and didn't take it seriously.
"Go!"
"Although you have grasped the concept, you still need to truly master it before you can step into the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal."
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuanzi bowed to him, then his figure blurred into a streak of light as he hurried off to Mount Wanshou to begin his Secluded Cultivation. The main hall returned to silence once more.
After seeing that Zhenyuanzi had left, Kong Xuan finally spoke up and asked.
"Master!"
"This wonderful method was thus directly passed on..."
Seeing the frown on Daoist Kong Xuan's face, Ye Xuan chuckled and spoke.
"It's just a superficial understanding, but it's enough to allow him to rely on the Great Dao of Earth and step into the realm of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal..."
"Kong Xuan!"
"You have comprehended the Way of Five Elements, and have also gained some understanding of the Great Dao of Earth. Do you know how to integrate the Way of Time into the Great Dao of Earth?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Kong Xuan shook his head. The Dao of Time encompassing the Great Dao of Earth was simply a fantasy!
While he was pondering, Ye Xuan spoke again.
"The key lies in the Innate Chen Earth Qi, the Innate Wei Earth Qi, the Innate Xu Earth Qi, and the Innate Chou Earth Qi."
Upon hearing this, a strange expression appeared on Daoist Kong Xuan's face.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and winter, the Four Seasons Rotation...
After figuring it out, Daoist Kong Xuan was also shocked. In this way, not only the Great Dao of Time, but also the Way of Reincarnation and the Dao of Life and Death could be entered.
The Three Thousand Great Daos, each of which Supreme Great Dao, can encompass eternal treasures.
Seeing that Daoist Kong Xuan was lost in thought, Ye Xuan said without changing his expression.
"Got it?"
"What Zhenyuanzi has mastered is merely the tip of the iceberg. The Three Thousand Great Daos are not inherently superior or inferior to each other, Five Elements Dao is not necessarily above the Earth Dao Law. The key lies in one's own strength."
Seeing him ponder for a moment, Ye Xuan waved his hand and said, "Go and think about it. Once you've figured it out, you'll be able to enter the realm of the Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal..."
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Kong Xuan immediately took his leave, preparing to return and study the Way of Five Elements.
After seeing his master's insights on the Three Thousand Great Daos, he realized that there are heavens beyond heavens.
We need to let things settle down a bit more!
