Saint Preaches the Dao

Jade Void Palace towered a million zhang, cast entirely from primordial white jade, inscribed with profound Dao Patterns, exuding a grand and sacred aura.

Its interior was even more vast, filled with immortal mist and abundant Dao Rhyme.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate held a whisk, seated on a cushion, his gentle yet profound gaze sweeping over Li Qingxu, Guangchengzi, and the others.

"We pay our respects to Master!"

Li Qingxu and Guangchengzi bowed respectfully together.

Burning Lamp Daoist said, "This humble one pays his respects to the Saint."

"Mm."

Primordial Heavenly Venerate nodded and said earnestly, "From this day forward, you are all disciples of the Chan Sect. I hope you will diligently cultivate, uphold righteousness, and not tarnish the prestige of our Chan Sect."

Li Qingxu and the other Chan Sect disciples bowed again:

"Disciples respectfully obey Master's teachings."

Primordial Heavenly Venerate nodded once more:

"As you are newly entering the Chan Sect, I shall impart to you the Jade Purity Immortal Art today. This is the foundational Daoist art of my Jade Purity lineage and the basis for your future cultivation. How much you can comprehend will depend on your own fortune and destiny."

As Primordial Heavenly Venerate spoke, everyone present immediately became excited.

After all, the Jade Purity Immortal Art was a supreme cultivation technique created by Primordial Heavenly Venerate after he attained sainthood, based on the Chan Sect's tenets and the Immortal Path passed down by Dao Ancestor Hongjun. It was far beyond any external cultivation methods.

Furthermore, a Saint's every word and action could stir heaven and earth, interpreting the true meaning of the Great Dao. For them, the Saint personally lecturing the Dao was also a tremendous opportunity.

"Yes!"

The disciples of the Chan Sect all sat cross-legged in mid-air, eyes slightly closed, clearing their minds of all distracting thoughts, preparing to listen to the Saint's voice.

Seeing that all the disciples were ready, Primordial Heavenly Venerate immediately began to lecture:

"The Unnamed is the beginning of Heaven and Earth; the Named is the mother of all things."

"The primordial unit has no form, the two energies have not yet emerged, the void is mysterious and profound, silent and unmoving."

"True nothingness within existence, wondrous existence within nothingness, sweeping away all confusion, forging anew..."

Every word from Primordial Heavenly Venerate was a gem, his voice like a great bell echoing within Jade Void Palace.

As the Saint spoke, auspicious signs descended from the heavens, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and endless multicolored light bloomed in the void, illuminating the magnificent Jade Void Palace like a dream.

The vast spiritual energy of Kunlun Mountain was summoned by an invisible force, converging madly and pouring ceaselessly into Jade Void Palace.

The profound resonance of the Great Dao echoed through heaven and earth. The Laws, usually ethereal and vague, became incredibly clear at this moment.

The immense power of the Laws condensed into a surging river that flowed above everyone's heads, scattering endless beads and pearls, each containing incomparably pure innate spiritual energy and the true meaning of the Great Dao.

Everyone in the hall trembled slightly. Thoughts that were originally obscure and difficult to understand in their minds suddenly became clear, and their own paths seemed to have been tidied up, becoming incredibly distinct.

"A Saint lecturing the Dao is indeed extraordinary."

Li Qingxu felt the immense changes in the surrounding world and himself, his heart filled with excitement.

With such a good teacher, his future cultivation path would undoubtedly be twice as effective with half the effort, as if aided by divine power.

The only thing he regretted was that with his current comprehension, listening to the Saint lecture was somewhat hazy, and what he could grasp was very limited.

And for every point of difference in understanding when listening to a Saint lecture, even if he spent ten thousand times the effort later, he might not be able to make up for it.

"A Saint lecturing the Dao is a rare opportunity that occurs once in an eternity and should not be missed."

"Moreover, my current foundation and cultivation are at the bottom among the Chan Sect disciples. I must seize this opportunity for transformation."

"It seems I need to find a way to guide Ye Hei, Xiao Yan, and the others to sacrifice some treasures that can increase comprehension."

Li Qingxu's thoughts raced, realizing that given his current situation, the only way to quickly improve his comprehension in a short period was to rely on the group members sacrificing treasures.

As he sank his consciousness into the chat group, he happened to see Ye Hei @ing him.

[Ye Hei: @Qingxu Daojun, Senior, do you usually drink tea?]

[Xiao Yan: Brother Ye, why are you suddenly asking about this?]

[Ye Hei: Hehe, recently in my world, there's a brat called Heavenly Emperor's Son who's been extremely arrogant. My two brothers, Duan De and Black Emperor, just raided his lair and found quite a few good things.]

[Ye Hei: Among them are many Dao Comprehension Teas, so I wanted to ask if Senior usually drinks tea.]

[Xiao Yan: "Heavenly Emperor" Son? That name does sound quite punchable, but I'm more curious about what Dao Comprehension Tea is.]

[Ye Hei: This Dao Comprehension Tea is one of the Immortal Medicines in my world. Each leaf has Innate Dao Patterns and varies in shape, some like qilin, some like flames, stars, etc.]

[Ye Hei: Brewing tea with Dao Comprehension Tea can temporarily greatly enhance comprehension and perception of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.]

[Emperor Yongle: So, it really is a rare Divine Item.]

[Ye Hei: It's a Divine Item in my world, but it's probably nothing to Senior Qingxu.]

[Ye Hei: However, if Senior drinks tea, perhaps using it for appreciation would offer a unique flavor.]

Li Qingxu's heart leaped with joy upon seeing the messages in the chat group.

He happened to need treasures that could increase comprehension, and Ye Hei planned to offer the Enlightenment Tea. This was truly a case of a pillow arriving just as he was about to fall asleep; it was simply too timely.

[Qingxu Daojun: @Ye Hei, you are very thoughtful. During my leisure time, I do indeed enjoy sipping tea and contemplating the Dao.]

[Ye Hei: Since that is the case, I shall offer some as a token of my regard. I hope you will not find it wanting, Senior.]

Ye Hei acted immediately, taking out one hundred Enlightenment Teas of various colors, shapes, and radiant glows before activating the sacrifice function.

The next moment, the System's prompt sounded in Li Qingxu's mind:

[Group member Ye Hei has sacrificed Enlightenment Tea * 100, triggering Million Times Critical Strike, transforming into Ten Thousand Times Comprehension Card * 100.]

[Ten Thousand Times Comprehension Card: A one-time use item. Upon use, it can increase the host's comprehension and affinity with Laws by ten thousand times, lasting for 12 shichen.]

The Enlightenment Tea sacrificed by Ye Hei this time, after being critically struck by the System, did not transform into a physical treasure but rather into a virtual item.

However, for Li Qingxu now, the Ten Thousand Times Comprehension Card, which could be used directly without refinement, was obviously more convenient.

[Ye Hei: Senior, did you receive the Enlightenment Tea? (`･ω･′)ゞ]

[Qingxu Daojun: Hmm, I received it. It is indeed quite unique, and I like it very much.]

[Ye Hei: Just a small token of my appreciation, nothing worthy of mention. I am glad you like it. The Heavenly Emperor's Son has many good things. Once I deal with this brat, I'll see if there are any other interesting items I can offer to you.]

[Xiao Yan: Brother Ye, how do you plan to deal with him? Chop him into mince?]

[Ye Hei: Not that big of a piece.]
