Kunlun Mountain, Taiqing Peak.
Jade Void Palace The sea of clouds outside is surging continuously. Taishang Laojun is sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of Bagua's alchemy furnace. His eyes are slightly closed, and the fresh air surrounding his body is like a dragon and snake swimming around.
His mind sank into some kind of extremely deep and quiet state, which was the state of clarity after beheading the three corpses. There was no sorrow, no happiness, no attachment, no thoughts, only the insight into the nature of heaven and earth was magnified to the extreme.
Since the end of the Zixiao Palace's three sermons, Laozi has been meditating on his own Great Dao.
He is Mystic Gate's first disciple, Dao Ancestor's personal disciple, Taiji Diagram is in hand, Heaven and Earth Mystic Yellow Pagoda suppresses Fortune, kills three corpses, and reaches Late Quasi-Sage.
Such an achievement is already at the top among Primordial Wilderness. But Laozi always felt that something had been missed by him.
It was an instinctive call, as if something deep in his blood had been waiting for him to wake up.
Today, he finally touched the Daoist Sect threshold.
The cause of the matter stems from his observation of the Witch Clan.
Witch Clan does not cultivate Primordial Spirit, does not understand Heavenly Dao, but can compete with the Demon Clan, relying on Physical Body and Pangu's Legacy inherited in the blood.
Each of Twelve Ancestral Witches has the combat power of Quasi-Saint, and Twelve Dutian Divine Fiends Formation can condense Pangu True Body to defeat Great Array of the Stars.
The very existence of the Witch Clan is a subversion of the existing practice system of Primordial Wilderness.
They don't have Primordial Spirit, but they can still get to this point.
This is unreasonable.
Laozi had a relationship with Houtu several times.
Houtu visited Kunlun Mountain before reincarnation and asked him about Primordial Spirit.
At that time, Laozi only gave guidance from the perspective of Mystic Gate Immortal Method without thinking deeply about it.
But Houtu later really gave birth to Primordial Spirit, and then resolutely transformed into Six Paths of Reincarnation. This determination and sacrifice impressed Laozi deeply.
The Ancestral Witchs of the Witch Clan refine Physical Body by absorbing the evil spirits between heaven and earth. Where the evil spirits are heavier, the Physical Bodys of the Witch Clan become more tyrannical.
Primordial Wilderness The evil spirit and turbidity between heaven and earth are originally the negative energy left over from Pangu Creation of Heaven and Earth. Heavenly Dao cannot completely eliminate it and can only allow it to accumulate deep in the earth.
While Witch Clan is absorbing these evil spirits and practicing, it is also purifying Primordial Wilderness invisibly.
Laozi Spiritual Light flashed in his mind.
Witch Clan absorbs evil spirits and purifies Primordial Wilderness. Houtu transforms reincarnation and completes the world.
Three Pure Ones is the result of Pangu's Primordial Spirit's three-point transformation, and Twelve Ancestral Witches is the transformation of Pangu's essence and blood.
Both come from the same source, both are Pangu's Legacy.
If the duty of Twelve Ancestral Witches is to purify Primordial Wilderness and complete the world, then what is the duty of Three Pure Ones?
This question struck his Sea of Consciousness like a thunderbolt.
After Pangu Creation of Heaven and Earth, the body turned into all things, Primordial Spirit was divided into three, and the essence and blood turned into Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Pangu dedicated everything he had to this world.
Physical Body turned into mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and the essence and blood turned into the Witch Clan to protect the earth. So what about Primordial Spirit?
Is the Three Pure Ones that Primordial Spirit transformed into just to occupy a dojo in Primordial Wilderness and complete Sage?
No. Primordial Spirit is the will and wisdom of Pangu. Primordial Spirit of Pangu is divided into three, and it must bear some more fundamental responsibilities than Physical Body and blood essence.
Laozi's mind was running rapidly at this moment, and countless Karmic Thread were intertwined and collided in his Sea of Consciousness.
When Heaven and Earth’s Opening Heavenly Dao was not established, Primordial Wilderness living beings were in ignorance Chaos, not knowing the method of cultivation or the principles of Great Dao.
They have intelligence but don't know how to use it, so they can only struggle to survive in Primordial Wilderness like wild beasts.
It was not until Dao Ancestor Hongjun became a saint and preached three times in the Zixiao Palace that the method of cultivation was taught to Primordial Wilderness sentient beings.
Enlightenment.
When this word appeared in Laozi's mind, he was shocked.
The duty of Three Pure Ones is to educate Primordial Wilderness sentient beings. The Three Pure Ones transformed by Pangu's Primordial Spirit should have taken on the mission of civilizing the ignorant and preaching and teaching, so that Primordial Wilderness living beings can move from ignorance to civilization and from Chaos to order.
This is the mission left to Primordial Spirit by Pangu. It is a more far-reaching responsibility than purifying heaven and earth.
However, this duty was preempted by Hongjun.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun preached three times in the Zixiao Palace, collected Three Pure Ones as Direct Disciples, and spread Mystic Gate Immortal Method throughout Primordial Wilderness.
Three Pure Ones became the successor of Mystic Gate and the disciple of Hongjun, but under the wrap of this master-disciple relationship, the mission they were supposed to undertake was blurred.
Hongjun completed the responsibility of educating on behalf of Three Pure Ones, and Three Pure Ones in turn became the educated and a link in the Mystic Gate system.
Laozi Thinking of this, there is neither anger nor unwillingness in my heart, only a sense of clarity that clears the clouds and reveals the sun.
Dao Ancestor is not malicious.
Heavenly Dao is incomplete, Hongjun Union with the Dao is to make up for Heavenly Dao. He taught Primordial Wilderness before Union with the Dao. He was doing something that must be done by someone.
Three Pure Ones had not grown up at that time and was simply unable to bear the responsibility of education.
Hongjun Taking the first step is both inevitable and helpless.
But now, Three Pure Ones is no longer the ignorant junior who first heard Great Dao in the Zixiao Palace.
He is the first disciple of Mystic Gate of Late Quasi-Sage. Yuanshi and Tongtian are also the existence of Mid-Quasi-Saint. The strength of Three Pure Ones is second only to Sage among Primordial Wilderness.
If even they dare not step out of the Hongjun framework, the Three Pure Ones transformed by Pangu's Primordial Spirit will always be just the disciples of Hongjun, not the successor of Pangu.
Laozi Open your eyes.
Taiqing Immortal Light was flowing in his eyes, which was a purer and more primitive light than ordinary fairy light, with a faint hint of the pure and turbid Qi of Creation of Heaven and Earth.
He stood up, Fly-Whisk swayed slightly, stepped out Taiqing Peak, and walked towards Yuqing Peak Yuanshi Tianzun's dojo.
Among the Yuqing Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun is teaching Jade Purity Immortal Method to Twelve Golden Immortals.
Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Yu Ding Zhenren, Taiyi Zhenren, True Person Huang Long, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Puxian True Man, Cihang Daoist, Grand Master Lingbao, Juliusun, Daoxing Tianzun, True Lord Qingxu Daode.
Twelve disciples lined up on both sides, sitting upright and listening intently.
The arrival of Laozi made Yuanshi pause for a moment. He waved his hands to signal the disciples to step aside for now and stood up to greet them.
"Elder brother suddenly arrived, but there is something important?" Yuanshi asked.
He knows his senior brother very well.
Laozi has an indifferent temperament and would never interrupt him in the middle of his sermon unless it was something truly important.
"Yes." Laozi said straight to the point, "Brother has just gained enlightenment and needs to discuss it with the second and third brothers face to face. Please ask the second brother to follow me to Shangqing Peak."
Seeing his serious expression, Yuanshi didn't ask any more questions. He just told his disciples to understand on their own, and then walked away with Laozi on the clouds.
Among Shangqing Peak Biyou Palace, Sect Master Tongtian is sitting cross-legged in front of Immortal Slaying Four Swords, surrounded by countless sword auras.
When he saw Laozi and Yuanshi arriving hand in hand, he was startled for a moment, then stood up and raised his eyebrows slightly. "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, how come you have time to see me today?"
Laozi did not exchange greetings and sat down directly on the futon in the main hall of the Biyou Palace. Yuanshi and Tongtian looked at each other and took their seats.
"Brother, I realized something today." Laozi's voice was unhurried and unhurried, as if he was stating a fact that has been verified countless times.
"We, Three Pure Ones, are transformed from Father God Pangu Primordial Spirit. Twelve Ancestral Witches are transformed from the essence and blood of Father God Pangu. The second and third brothers have already known about this matter."
Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded at the same time.
"But have you two junior brothers ever thought about why Father God split Primordial Spirit into three and turned the essence and blood into twelve?"
This question silenced Yuanshi and Tongtian at the same time.
"After God the Father Creation of Heaven and Earth, his body transformed into Primordial Wilderness all things. Everything in the mountains and the earth, the rivers and lakes, the stars, the sun and the moon Primordial Wilderness was transformed into the flesh and blood of the Father God."
Laozi continued, "This is the dedication of the Physical Body level. And Twelve Ancestral Witches uses his blood essence to absorb the evil spirits of heaven and earth and purify the Primordial Wilderness filth. This responsibility is the continuation of the Physical Body level."
"Houtu transforms into reincarnation and fills in Primordial Wilderness the biggest loophole between heaven and earth.
After Six Paths of Reincarnation is completed, Primordial Wilderness creatures will have a place to go after death and will no longer turn into lonely ghosts to disturb the world.
This is Twelve Ancestral Witches's instinctive following of Father God's will, and they complement Primordial Wilderness."
Laozi changed the topic. "So what are we waiting for? Father God's Physical Body turned into Primordial Wilderness, and Father God's essence and blood turned into Twelve Ancestral Witches to purify and complete Primordial Wilderness.
Where is Father God's Primordial Spirit?
Primordial Spirit turned into Three Pure Ones for us, is it just so that I can cultivate Sage on Kunlun Mountain, and then live as long as heaven and earth, and live freely?"
Yuanshi's face changed slightly.
He is in charge of Pangu Banner, and his perception of Pangu's will is more acute than anyone else's.
Laozi's words touched a string in his heart that had never been touched before.
Tongtian suddenly opened his eyes wide. He has a straightforward temperament and says whatever comes to mind. At this moment, he blurted out. "Elder brother is saying that we also have our own responsibilities?"
"Yes." Laozi's voice was low and determined, "The duty of God the Father is Creation of Heaven and Earth, to create Primordial Wilderness. The duty of the essence and blood is to protect and complement this world. The duty of Primordial Spirit is to illuminate the wisdom of the creatures in this world and teach them how to survive, practice, and enlightenment in this world."
"Education." Yuanshi slowly spit out two words.
"Yes, enlightenment."
Laozi nodded, "Primordial Wilderness When it first opened, all living beings were ignorant and did not know how to practice.
Father God's Primordial Spirit was divided into three, so that after the heaven and earth are stabilized, we Three Pure Ones will assume the responsibility of educating all living beings and enlightening the ignorant.
This is the destiny left to Primordial Spirit by God the Father, and it is the fundamental mission imprinted deep into the depths of us Primordial Spirit."
Biyou Palace fell into silence.
Tongtian was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, with a somewhat suppressed edge in his voice. "The responsibility of being teachable has been taken over by Dao Ancestor.
Zixiao Palace gave three sermons, and Primordial Wilderness's practice methods all came from Mystic Gate.
As disciples of Mystic Gate, what we have learned and taught are all Dao Ancestor's immortal methods, so why should we talk about the responsibility of teaching?"
"Exactly." Laozi's eyes were as calm as water, but contained an unshakable determination, "So this is what I want to say."
He stood up, and Taiqing Immortal Light flickered around him, making him look like the Innate Deities who was in charge of Taiqing at the beginning of Creation of Heaven and Earth.
"Brother, I want to deduce a path of practice that is different from the Dao Ancestor immortal method."
As soon as these words came out, Yuanshi and Tongtian stood up at the same time.
"Elder brother!" Yuanshi's voice was filled with shock, "Dao Ancestor's immortal method is Mystic Gate's orthodoxy. As Mystic Gate, I personally teach it. If we find another way, wouldn't it be--"
"It's not about betraying Mystic Gate." Laozi raised his hand to interrupt Yuanshi.
"Dao Ancestor preaches Primordial Wilderness, and he has the grace of a master and disciple for us, and he has the power of teaching Primordial Wilderness.
Being a brother does not mean to deny Dao Ancestor's magic, but to deduce Three Pure Ones's own way on this basis.
Three Pure Ones transformed by Father God Primordial Spirit cannot always be just a disciple of Dao Ancestor.
One day, we will become the true educator of Primordial Wilderness sentient beings, rather than the successors of Mystic Gate Immortal Method."
He turned to Yuanshi and Tongtian, with unprecedented solemnity in his eyes. "Second brother, third brother, are you willing to help me?"
Yuanshi was silent for a long time.
He is the one among Three Pure Ones who values etiquette and rules the most. It is not easy for him to break through the framework of Dao Ancestor's immortal magic.
But when he looked at Laozi's extremely clear Taiqing eyes, he suddenly understood why the senior brother did this.
Not to surpass Dao Ancestor.
But to live up to Pangu.
"Okay." Yuanshi only said one word, but the weight of that word was enough to shake the whole Yuqing Peak.
Tongtian is even more crisp and neat.
He stretched out his hand and made a move, and Immortal Slaying Four Swords flew behind him with a buzzing sound. Four rays of peerless killing intent soared into the sky, but were restrained by him without a trace the next moment.
"Elder brother wants to deduce, and my little brother will protect you. Primordial Wilderness and above, whoever dares to disturb senior brother should ask my Immortal Slaying Four Swords first."
Laozi nodded slightly, and the three of them stopped talking. At the same time, they stepped out of the Biyou Palace and reached the highest point of Kunlun Mountain, Three Pure Ones Peak.
This is where Kunlun Mountain Spiritual Energy is most concentrated, and besides Buzhou Mountain transformed into Pangu's Spine, Pangu's Will remains most obvious in Primordial Wilderness.
The summit of Three Pure Ones Peak is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and the wind is as sharp as a knife. No one without Daluo Golden Immortal can stand here.
There is a naturally formed Sancai terrain on the top of the peak, where the energy of the three talents of heaven, earth and man meet and flow, making it the most suitable place for formation and deduction.
Laozi raised his hand, and Taiji Diagram flew out of his sleeve, turning into a huge scroll of Yin-Yang's two fishes, floating directly above the peak.
Yin-Yang The Pisces rotates slowly, casting down countless Taiqing Immortal Light, covering the entire Three Pure Ones Peak.
Taiji Diagram is Heaven-Opening Supreme Treasure, which contains the fundamental rules of Heaven and Earth’s Opening and Yin-Yang Qi. This treasure can guard the formation and ensure that there is no interference from any external force during the deduction process.
Yuanshi stood in a standing position, unfolding Pangu Banner in his hands. On the ancient giant flag, a figure of a giant holding Giant Axe Creation of Heaven and Earth could be faintly seen.
The moment the flags were unfolded, a boundless pressure swept over Three Pure Ones Peak, and all birds and beasts within a radius of thousands of miles were prostrate.
Pangu Banner is the main killing weapon, and Creation of Heaven and Earth is the most compatible treasure with Pangu's Primordial Spirit.
Yuanshi inserted Pangu Banner into the dry ground, and the flag fluttered in the wind, injecting Innate Three Talents Grand Formation with the killing will of Pangu.
Tongtian stood in the Kun position, and Immortal Slaying Four Swords flew out together with the formation diagram. Four killing swords were arranged in four directions, and the formation diagram hung in the center. Immortal Slaying Four Swords was the first killing formation of Primordial Wilderness, and it could not be broken except by Four Saints.
But at this moment, Tongtian did not activate the murderous intent, but used the structure of Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to provide Innate Three Talents Grand Formation with an impeccable defense.
Anyone who wants to interfere with the deduction must first pass the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation level.
Three Pure Ones Each of them swayed, and each transformed into three clones of Qing Qi that continuously wandered around the outer edge of the formation to prevent accidental interference.
Laozi stepped into the center of Three Talents Formation and sat down cross-legged. Taiqing Immortal Light came out of his body and merged with Yin-Yang Pisces of Taiji Diagram.
At this moment, his mind was completely absorbed in Tao's deduction.
This is an extremely labor-intensive thing. Dao Ancestor Hongjun's Mystic Gate Immortal Method has gone through countless Kalpa polishings and has already formed a complete system.
From Renxianji to Heavenly Immortal, from Mysterious Immortal to Golden Immortal, from Taiyi to Great Luo, until Quasi-Saint, Sage, each step has a corresponding method and formula.
Every realm has a clear path to breakthrough.
The advantage of Mystic Gate Immortal Method is that the threshold is extremely low. As long as any creature has Spiritual Root, it can practice step by step.
But it is precisely because of the low threshold that Mystic Gate Immortal Method has an insurmountable ceiling at the top.
That is the limitation of Hongjun itself and the limit under the framework of Heavenly Dao.
