Taiqing Laozi preached for a hundred years, detailing the Dao of Pure and Non-Action.

He also explained the methods for Taiyi Golden Immortals to cultivate the Five Qi in the Chest and Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown to break through to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, as well as the method of Slaying the Three Corpses for the Quasi-Saint realm.

Following this, Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Tongtian Cult Master also separately explained the Dao of Following Heaven and Responding to People and Seizing a Thread of Heavenly Opportunity.

As for cultivation methods, they each offered different insights and understandings.

The Three Pure Ones preached for three hundred years in total, and all disciples of the Three Religions gained immensely, feeling that their previously foggy Dao Path had suddenly become clear.

Their comprehension of the Laws of Heaven and Earth advanced by leaps and bounds, far surpassing ordinary cultivators.

Among them, Grand Master Xuandu and Guangchengzi directly broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, while Duobao Daoist advanced to the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

As Tongtian Cult Master ceased his sermon, the various phenomena within the Three Pure Ones Hall gradually dissipated, and the disciples awoke from their states of enlightenment.

Upon sensing their own transformations and improvements, everyone's faces were filled with joy and excitement.

Li Qingxu, however, still had his eyes lightly closed, seated cross-legged on his Cloud Bed, his aura hidden and unexpressed, showing no signs of awakening.

What puzzled everyone even more was that Li Qingxu's cultivation had already reached the peak of True Immortal before listening to the sermon.

Now, after three hundred years, his cultivation had not progressed one bit.

"Hmph!"

"Truly rotten wood that cannot be carved. Listening to the Saints preach for three hundred years and not making the slightest progress."

Winged Immortal crossed his arms, glancing sideways at Li Qingxu with disdain in his eyes.

"Junior Brother speaks the truth."

"A mere Human Race, even if they gained a great Opportunity previously and their cultivation improved, they will still reveal their true colors once that Opportunity is exhausted."

Qiushou Xian also snorted in agreement.

"Three hundred years of Saints preaching, even a pig could become an immortal by now, yet he hasn't improved at all, tsk tsk tsk..."

Many Jie Sect Disciples whispered amongst themselves, their words filled with mockery and slander.

Zhao Gongming frowned, not expecting these Junior Brothers, who were usually arrogant, to dare mock Li Qingxu in front of Primordial Saint.

He intended to intervene, but seeing that Duobao Daoist made no move, he could only reluctantly give up.

While the outside world buzzed with discussion, Li Qingxu's mind sank into an unprecedented state of emptiness.

His comprehension of the teachings of the Human, Chan, and Jie Sects over the past few hundred years now fully integrated.

He clearly perceived that his Dao was neither the Pure and Non-Action of the Human Sect, nor the Following Heaven and Responding to People and adhering to destiny advocated by the Chan Sect, nor even the defiance of heaven and Seizing a Thread of Heavenly Opportunity promoted by the Jie Sect.

First, a large part of the reason he crossed hundreds of millions of miles to join the Chan Sect was to change the plight of the Human Race.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to remain detached and inactive, like Grand Master Xuandu, and watch the Human Race be slaughtered.

Although the teachings of the Jie Sect claimed to seize a thread of heavenly opportunity, that thread of heavenly opportunity, since it existed, was not a true "reversal" but an opportunity intentionally given by the Heavenly Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao did not permit it, then nothing could be done.

Just as the Grandmaster of the Tongtian Sect was powerless to reverse the Jie Sect's defeat and destruction during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, and his own confinement in the Purple Heaven Palace.

His Dao was to change Innate Destiny with Houtian Power, truly creating possibility from impossibility.

Upon realizing this, Li Qingxu felt a "boom" as a long-standing bottleneck was instantly broken through!

The vast divine power accumulated in his body surged out like a bursting dam, surging through his meridians and pushing him to an unprecedented peak.

Three flower buds of gold, silver, and bronze appeared above Li Qingxu's head. Though only fist-sized, they were incredibly brilliant and radiant, as if cast from Divine Gold, scattering endless light.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

Behind him, phantoms of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, mountains, and rivers, and all things appeared. A profound Daoist sound echoed through heaven and earth, as if thousands of gods and Buddhas were chanting for him.

Immediately after, countless Innate Dao Patterns materialized around Li Qingxu, dense and numerous, encircling him and emitting a vigorous Dao charm.

This astonishing scene instantly stunned the many Jie Sect disciples who had been mocking Li Qingxu moments ago, their faces looking extremely grim.

Taiqing Laozi, Primordial Heavenly Venerate, and Tongtian Cult Master observed Li Qingxu with great interest.

They had seen many breakthrough phenomena for Golden Immortal cultivators, but few as magnificent as Li Qingxu's.

Suddenly, the phenomenon changed again.

The phantoms of the Sun, Moon, and Stars, mountains, rivers, and all things, along with the countless Dao Patterns, suddenly converged above the Three Pure Ones Hall.

In an instant, a colossal phantom of a wheel, covering the entire Three Pure Ones Hall, took shape!

The outer edge of this wheel was inlaid with the Stars of the Heavens, with star rivers flowing, representing the solemn and orderly Innate Destiny and the laws of time and space.

The middle area was a miniature of the Great Desolation, with towering mountains, rivers converging into the sea, and faint silhouettes of living beings, symbolizing the evolution of all Houtian things and infinite variables.

And at the center of the wheel, Li Qingxu's Dao Self Dharma Form quietly appeared.

The Dharma Form was immeasurably tall, its face identical to Li Qingxu's, but its eyes were deeper and more resolute. It was enveloped in pure and sacred immortal light, with a solemn and majestic appearance.

This Dharma Form sat majestically at the core of the wheel, as if it had become the wheel's axis, or perhaps the master controlling the wheel, exuding an awe-inspiring aura of natural authority.

"Is this the Fate Wheel?"

"Li Qingxu has comprehended the Fate Law?"

Tongtian Cult Master's majestic face showed a hint of surprise.

In the Primordial World, there was a saying:

"Of the Three Thousand Great Dao Laws, the Strength Dao is supreme, Space is Emperor, Time is King, and without Fate, Karma reigns."

But in reality, the Fate Law was above the Karma Law, and was an ultimate law no less than the Space and Time Laws.

Most crucially, although cultivators who comprehended the Space and Time Laws in the entire Primordial World were rare, there were still quite a few given the vast base number of trillions upon trillions.

As for those who could master the Fate Law, they could almost be counted on one hand.

After all, all living beings could sense the existence of space and the passage of time, but the power of fate was impossible to perceive, making it naturally extremely difficult to comprehend.

"That's not right..."

Taiqing Laozi frowned slightly, "This appears to be the Fate Law, but it's also somewhat different."

"As for where it's different... this humble one cannot say for now."

Primordial Heavenly Venerate and Tongtian Cult Master, after Taiqing Laozi's reminder, carefully sensed it and also detected something amiss.

The Three Pure Ones were completely bewildered, but Li Qingxu knew exactly what was going on.

The wheel that appeared above his head was the "Reverse Fate Wheel," manifested from his own Dao!

If the Fate Wheel was inscribed with the destinies of all things in the world, only able to manifest but not change them.

The "Reverse Fate Wheel" was an existence that could change everything.

With his current cultivation, its effect was limited, only able to make an opponent's attack miss when they were attacking, or make it impossible for them to dodge his own attacks.

But as his cultivation grew, he would be able to directly decide the final outcome of a battle with the "Reverse Fate Wheel" before it even began.

He might not even need to make a move, simply by guiding the opponent's fate line towards "death," he could kill without a trace.

These were merely the basic powers of the Reverse Fate Wheel. Theoretically, as long as Li Qingxu's strength was sufficient, he could even reverse the great trends of heaven and earth, and the direction of calamities!
