Seeing the burning thirst for knowledge in their eyes!

Hongjun knew that his original plan was feasible, and quite perfect!

Barring any accidents, nearly all three thousand deities would follow the story to the end!

But now, Hong Yun had to ask that question.

This cliffhanger had to be resolved right now.

Hongjun felt another surge of irritation, but with so many people present, he could only hold it in.

Still, he made up his mind—at least the method of attaining the Dao could not be revealed for now.

With that thought, Hongjun didn't tell Hong Yun to sit down, but instead spoke:

"Above Grand Unity, one attains the Dao and becomes the Origin! That is, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin!"

"Grand Unity Perfection is already the highest realm of Law cultivation!"

"One can enter the chaos to open a small world, but with only Laws and no Dao resonance, one cannot give birth to intelligent life."

"This birthing of intelligent life differs from enlightening beings in the Primordial World."

"In the Primordial World, Dao resonance permeates everything. All things in heaven and earth have the foundation for wisdom. When one's cultivation of Laws reaches a certain level, they can enlighten Spiritual Essence and awaken intelligence."

"If one can break free from the shackles of Laws, they can Transform Law into Dao and attain the Dao as the Origin!"

"Then they can open a world in the chaos and give birth to life on their own!"

Hearing these words from Hongjun, Hong Yun finally understood.

All these realms, when summarized, could be divided into the "Art Realm, Law Realm, and Dao Realm."

What is attaining the Dao?

If the Power of Law is likened to a single track, then everyone who controls that Law is running on the same track!

How much they comprehend is how far ahead they run!

Though you can't say that being ahead of everyone means you own the track entirely.

But in battle, naturally, the deeper your understanding, the more you can influence the Power of Law in heaven and earth.

If your understanding is completely within your enemy's grasp, You might not even be able to wield the Power of Law before them!

The many Laws of the Primordial World weave together into the Heavenly Dao!

Attaining the Dao means using the Power of Law you control to break through the barrier of Laws and weave your own Dao.

Grand Unity Perfection allows one to attain the Dao.

But attaining the Dao does not mean becoming a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin!

Only by cultivating this Dao to perfection, making it one with the Origin, can one attain the Dao as the Origin.

Above Grand Unity Perfection, below the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin—this stretch of the path, though Hongjun did not explain in detail, Hong Yun, knowing the future, understood it to be the "Quasi-Saint"!

Though not a Saint, and not reaching the realm of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal of the Origin, one has formed their own Dao.

In the Primordial World, they already enjoy some of the privileges of a Saint!

This realm, simple to describe, is the intermediate stage between two qualitative changes.

If one cannot attain the Dao as the Origin, they are trapped in this realm, endlessly increasing the quantity of their power, not its quality.

But it already far surpasses the Great Luo Realm.

Because the Dao they walk not only allows its founder to attain the Dao as the Origin!

Later followers, following this path, also have a chance to step into the Origin realm.

More importantly, The more people cultivate this Dao, the more help there is in comprehending the Power of Law together!

The more Laws each Dao occupies, the deeper the understanding.

Naturally, the stronger it becomes!

And the Heavenly Dao, governing all the Power of Law in the Primordial World, is what Pan Gu left behind when he split the heavens.

Naturally, it is the strongest Dao in the Primordial World!

No wonder Hongjun, having opened the Immortal Dao himself and attained the Origin through it, still wanted to merge with the Heavenly Dao!

After reaching the Origin, one can cultivate one Dao or many Daos.

The more one cultivates, the stronger one becomes!

After finishing his lecture, Hongjun looked at the crowd again. Seeing the hope in their eyes and their contemplative expressions, He couldn't help but feel smug!

He then looked at Hong Yun, who was tilting his head in deep thought, and thought to himself:

"This should be enough to shake them, right?"

With that in mind, he intended to have Hong Yun sit down and begin explaining his method of Immortal cultivation.

But before he could speak, Hong Yun bowed once more!

And asked again:

"May I ask the Saint, beyond attaining Primordial Unity, what realm lies ahead?"

Hongjun was momentarily stunned.

"Still asking?"

Yet he himself had only just attained Primordial Unity, and the road ahead still required exploration—how could he answer so readily?

He stared at Hong Yun for a long while.

Hong Yun remained reverent, his face full of earnest longing for knowledge.

Hongjun could only organize his words internally and continue answering.

At this point, he had no specific division of realms beyond Primordial Unity; he could only speak of some prospects for the path ahead.

"Beyond Primordial Unity, one Dao is already complete—one could say the realm has reached Primordial Unity."

"But within Chaos, there are billions of Daos!"

"Each Dao can open up a world. Having cultivated one Dao, one should cultivate billions!"

"After countless kalpas, when all Daos converge into one, that is the Great Dao!"

As he spoke, even Hongjun's eyes revealed a glimmer of anticipation.

"The Great Dao transcends all conceptual forms, omnipresent, where all causality, time, and fate collapse into a single point!"

"From then on, once realized, it is eternally realized—across all timelines, all worlds, all are the Great Dao!"

"It is the starting point of all things, the ending point of all things. The birth and destruction of worlds—within a single thought!"

"This is true eternity! The ultimate end of all cultivation!"

Hongjun let out a final sigh.

At once, everyone was infected by Hongjun's emotion, and their hearts yearned for the Great Dao!

Taiqing Laozi's eyes flashed with brilliance, and a faint smile curled at the corner of his lips.

After Hongjun finished his sigh, he noticed Taiqing's peculiar expression and asked:

"Taiqing, why do you smile?"

Taiqing Laozi rose, bowed respectfully, and then said to Hongjun:

"Having heard the Saint speak thus, the path ahead is clear, and my heart is filled with joy!"

"The road is long and arduous—we cultivators of the Dao must press forward with courage and vigor!"

Hearing Taiqing Laozi say this, Hongjun was extremely pleased.

For this eldest disciple he had long settled in his heart, possessing such a heart for seeking the Dao, Hongjun felt a trace of joy as well.

He smiled lightly at Taiqing, nodded, and said gently:

"Sit down."

Then he turned to Hong Yun and said the same.

Hong Yun and Taiqing said in unison:

"Thank you, Saint!"

The two then sat down separately. Hongjun swept his gaze across the crowd once more, waiting until everyone's minds had calmed.

Then he directly began from the Heavenly Immortal realm and started expounding the Dao.
