Grand Unity Traits, Undying Spiritual Light

The past is set and cannot be changed, while the future is ever-changing and holds infinite possibilities. Since Heaven itself has brought me to the Great Desolation, I have no need for guilt.

Xuan Qing comforted himself.

At this moment, he was incredibly fortunate to have joined the Intercepting Sect lineage.

Intercepting a sliver of life, a sliver of opportunity, a sliver of merit – what isn't worth intercepting!

"What's going on?"

Suddenly, he looked inward and discovered that the Innate Ancestral Qi he had condensed when breaking through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal had undergone some kind of change!

As if sensing Xuan Qing's confusion, Sect Master Tongtian, who was on the cloud bed, slowly spoke, "Don't worry, this is a good thing! The Taiyi realm evolves Innate Ancestral Qi, and the Grand Unity realm evolves Innate Undying Spiritual Light. Although you haven't proven the Grand Unity Dao yet, you already possess some characteristics of a Grand Unity!"

Innate Undying Spiritual Light!

Xuan Qing suddenly understood. It turned out that the Innate Ancestral Qi he had condensed had prematurely transformed into Innate Undying Spiritual Light under the influence of the Innate Way of Change.

From now on, there would be no more obstacles before reaching the Grand Unity realm. Condensing the Grand Unity Dao fruit would simply be a matter of course.

Daoist Duobao's face showed shock upon hearing this. He then bowed to Sect Master Tongtian and asked, "May I ask, Master, what exactly did Junior Disciple Xuan Qing do to cause Heavenly Dao to bestow merit and to prematurely condense Innate Undying Spiritual Light?"

"Please enlighten us, Master!"

The other disciples also bowed, hoping the Saint could resolve their doubts.

If Xuan Qing's path could be emulated, perhaps they too could attract merit from Heavenly Dao.

After all, Nuwa had merit for creating humans, Old Ancestor Minghe had always had merit for creating the Asura, the Three Pure Ones had merit for establishing their sects, and Old Ancestor Minghe had also received merit from Heavenly Dao for founding the Asura Sect.

Understand Old Ancestor Minghe, become Old Ancestor Minghe, surpass Old Ancestor Minghe!

This was the thought in everyone's minds at that moment!

They lacked the ability to create humans or establish sects. However, Xuan Qing was at the same realm as them, so there was no reason why they couldn't achieve what he could!

Guangchengzi said so.

As a disciple of the Heavenly Origin Sect, he was naturally somewhat resentful seeing Xuan Qing steal the spotlight.

However, looking at the vast merit from Heavenly Dao, he could only feel envious.

Sect Master Tongtian took in everyone's expressions and then smiled, "You probably can't learn this! Merit requires the approval of Heavenly Dao!"

"Pangu gave birth to Taiji, Yin and Yang follow!"

"This is the foundation of the world's operation since the Great Desolation began. Xuan Qing, on the basis of the Four Symbols, evolved the Innate Eight Trigrams and the Later Heaven Eight Trigrams, which greatly benefited the perfection of Heavenly Dao's laws!"

"Therefore, Heavenly Dao bestowed merit!"

"Perfecting Heavenly Dao's laws is not an easy task. Even Saints need opportunities to achieve what Xuan Qing just accomplished!"

Since Hongjun's integration with the Dao, every time a new Great Dao was born between heaven and earth, Heavenly Dao would bestow merit. When he elevated the Sword Dao to the Innate Great Dao, Heavenly Dao had also bestowed a considerable amount of merit.

Furthermore, when the Grand Pure One established the Elixir Dao and Primordial Lord of Heaven established the Artifact Dao, Heavenly Dao had also bestowed merit.

While this merit for evolving the Dao was not as great as the merit for establishing a sect, it was enough to create a Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

After all, to become a Grand Unity is to forge one's own Dao!

Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, Sect Master Tongtian continued, "However, although this feat is difficult, it is not impossible. You are all disciples of Saints, constantly comprehending the Great Dao of Saints. If you can gain some insights, innovate, and evolve several branches from the Great Dao of Saints, it is still possible!"

"Do not belittle yourselves!"

Primordial Lord of Heaven also spoke, "Go back and cultivate diligently! You are all elites of the Mystic Gate, and you should forge your own Great Dao in the future!"

Grand Pure One Laozi glanced at Xuan Qing with a hint of appreciation and affirmed, "You are very good! From now on, our Mystic Gate will have another Lightning Art!"

"First Martial Uncle is too kind!"

Xuan Qing bowed quickly upon hearing this, "This disciple merely happened to be in the right place at the right time."

"Mm."

Grand Pure One Laozi nodded with satisfaction and then said, "All disciples, return to your cultivation. As for Xuan Qing, come to the Grand Pure Hall later!"

"Yes!"

Everyone quickly took their leave.

Xuan Qing also nodded in agreement.

Soon, the disciples dispersed and returned to their respective abodes to comprehend the Great Dao. Xuan Qing, following the Saint's decree, went to the Grand Pure Hall with Xuandu.

As a divine light flashed in the hall, the three Saints, Grand Pure One Laozi, Primordial Lord of Heaven, and Sect Master Tongtian, arrived together. The Grand Pure Hall was instantly filled with boundless Daoist charm.

Clearly, some matters were not suitable for public discussion in front of the disciples of the Three Religions.

Xuan Qing paid his respects in order, "This disciple greets Master, Grand Martial Uncle, and Second Martial Uncle!"

"You are excused!"

Grand Pure One Laozi smiled and said, "I am meeting you alone this time regarding the matter of the Innate Way of Change! Furthermore, it is also related to your future cultivation in the Grand Unity realm!"

The Innate Eight Trigrams evolved from the Innate Four Symbols and can be considered a derivative of the Four Symbols Great Dao. However, the Innate Way of Change is no less than the Innate Grand Ultimate Great Dao.

The Grand Yi is unchanging, and like the Dao of Taiji, the Innate Way of Change can also balance Yin and Yang and evolve the Four Symbols. It is one of the Great Daos closest to the origin of heaven and earth.

The Grand Yi, Grand Beginning, Grand Origin, Grand Simplicity, and Grand Ultimate are collectively known as the Five Primes of the Innate. They are the foundation of the universe, the origin of all things, and the "nothingness" from which existence arises!

If Taiji represents "existence," then Taiyi represents "non-existence." The two, one at the beginning and one at the end, perfectly illustrate the universe's journey "from nothing to something" and "from something to nothing," further aligning with the fundamental Dao of the Three Pure Ones.

Primordial Lord of Heaven is the "beginning of all," representing creation. Sect Master Tongtian is the "end of all things," representing finality. As for Grand Pure One Laozi, he is the "foundation of existence"!

Although Lightning Arts are merely a branch of the Three Pure Ones' Great Dao, Xuan Qing's ability to refine them has shown them a possibility for unifying the Three Pure Ones' Great Dao.

"Come on!"

Grand Pure One Laozi spoke first, "Use the Lightning Arts you've comprehended to attack me with all your might!"

"Yes!"

Xuan Qing immediately accepted the order. With a thought, electricity flashed in his hand, and a swift lightning bolt transformed into a thunder dragon, charging towards Grand Pure One Laozi.

This lightning bolt was extremely swift, like a gazelle's horn, hard to track. It possessed the tranquility of Grand Pure Divine Thunder, the dominance of Jade Pure Divine Thunder, and the vastness of Supreme Pure Divine Thunder. Ordinary Grand Unity Golden Immortals would find it almost impossible to resist.

However, it was facing a Saint!

With a mere thought from Grand Pure One Laozi, time seemed to come to a standstill. The vast lightning bolt was then restrained by the power of Heavenly Dao, three feet in front of him.

Primordial Lord of Heaven curiously observed the restrained thunder dragon, then turned to Xuan Qing and said, "This lightning bolt should have more than just this one transformation, right!"

"Yes!"

Xuan Qing nodded. With a slight movement of his fingertip, the previously restrained thunder dragon immediately split into three, transforming into Grand Pure Divine Thunder, Jade Pure Divine Thunder, and Supreme Pure Divine Thunder respectively.

If it can merge, it can naturally divide!

One Qi Manifests as Three Pure Ones, and the Three Pure Ones return to One Qi, much like the cycle of heaven and earth, ceaselessly renewing. It even carries a trace of creation's essence, bestowing a sliver of sentience upon the "Xuan Qing Divine Thunder."

"Excellent!"

Even the usually stern Primordial Lord of Heaven couldn't help but praise.

The three of them examined it for a moment, as if grasping some crucial point. They then exchanged knowing smiles and directly erased the three thunder dragons from the void.

Following this, Sect Master Tongtian slowly spoke, "Alright, let's discuss your future cultivation! The cultivation of the Taiyi Realm involves constructing myriad phenomena with Ancestral Qi. However, the Ancestral Qi you condensed has already transformed into Undying Spiritual Light, so you naturally can't proceed as planned!"

"I humbly request guidance from my teacher!"

As it concerned his future path, Xuan Qing naturally dared not be careless in the slightest.
