"Martial Uncle Qing Xuanzi, Cihang was born in the starry sky, so she naturally knows of the Moon Worship Sect. It is Goddess Wangshu's great sect."
After hearing this, Qing Xuanzi nodded and, led by Cihang, arrived at the Jade Void Palace.
"Junior Brother." Yuanshi rose from the high platform and said with a smile.
Qing Xuanzi also smiled as he walked to the prayer mat on Yuanshi's right and said, "Senior Brother, sorry to disturb you."
After the two had taken their seats, Qing Xuanzi asked, "Cihang, do you know anything about the forging of the Soul Summoning Banner?"
"Reporting to Martial Uncle, the Moon Worship Sect would never teach its disciples to forge such a vicious artifact."
Qing Xuanzi understood. Someone was using the Moon Worship Sect's name to stir up trouble in secret.
He then turned to Yuanshi and asked, "Senior Brother, your divine powers are profound. Have you deduced who was behind this?"
"I am ashamed. I performed a deduction just now, but gained nothing. Why not consult Eldest Senior Brother?"
"Then many thanks, Senior Brother. I will certainly consult Eldest Senior Brother. I have another matter to trouble you with today."
Qing Xuanzi had already reached the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Yuanshi could not calculate what Qing Xuanzi wanted, so he said, "Speak, Junior Brother. So long as it is within my power, I will do it."
"This matter is effortless for you, Senior Brother. I have an artifact that requires your forging. Please take a look."
Having said that, Qing Xuanzi directly revealed the requirements for forging the Star Lord Banner.
Yuanshi understood after merely a few glances. "Junior Brother, are you planning to set up the Stars All Over The Heavens Formation?"
"Senior Brother has keen eyes. That is precisely the case. This matter was entrusted to me by Master, so please do not publicize it when forging it."
Before stating his requirements, Qing Xuanzi had activated the Chaos Clock within Pangu Hall to conceal their words. This sentence was transmitted directly through divine sense.
Even the Elucidating Sect disciples below were unaware.
Yuanshi silently nodded. "Come collect it in eighty-one years."
"Then many thanks, Senior Brother."
Qing Xuanzi was not surprised that Yuanshi agreed.
The main reason was that he had invoked Hongjun's name. It would both make Yuanshi believe him and prevent Yuanshi from asking why.
That was the crucial part. If he had not said so, Yuanshi might have asked an extra question.
Qing Xuanzi would have found it difficult to answer.
Now that he had invoked Hongjun, as long as Yuanshi asked, he could simply shift the blame onto Hongjun.
As for whether Yuanshi would go to Hongjun for clarification, Qing Xuanzi was not worried in the slightest.
After Qing Xuanzi had finished his business, Yuanshi took the opportunity to say, "Since Junior Brother is here, why not give my disciples a lecture on the Dao?"
"Alright. How about we discuss the Dao?"
"Excellent."
Qing Xuanzi began expounding on the Great Dao of Taiji, though his focus was on the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
He only occasionally mentioned the path of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal. As for the path of the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal, he did not speak of it at all.
Even so, the Twelve Golden Immortals below listened in rapt attention.
They had never heard such a unique Great Dao before.
Ever since Hongjun had transmitted the three thousand Great Daos, most cultivators had cultivated the Immortal Dao, with attaining the quasi-sage realm as their highest goal.
Now, after hearing Qing Xuanzi expound on the Dao of Taiji, their realms soared like rockets as they confirmed their own paths against it.
Guangchengzi, for instance, directly leaped from the Mysterious Immortal realm to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, advancing by an entire major realm.
However, he was not the one who benefited the most. It was Daoist Cihang.
Perhaps because Daoist Cihang had been born in the starry sky and her true form was a lotus seed, she possessed an innately compassionate heart.
She was the most compatible with the Dao of Taiji.
Among them all, she had the deepest understanding of the Dao of Taiji Qing Xuanzi had explained. Her realm soared from the Mysterious Immortal realm all the way to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
A Great Luo Golden Immortal with eight petals in bloom.
Yuanshi was so delighted that he could not close his mouth. He had truly struck it rich this time.
At last, one of his twelve disciples had advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and with eight petals in bloom at that. She was unquestionably qualified to become a quasi-sage.
Hehe, how could Third Brother's meager few disciples compare to his own?
Qing Xuanzi was also surprised. Daoist Cihang's fortune was far from shallow.
If she were carefully taught, attaining the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm might not be impossible.
Unfortunately, she had taken Yuanshi as her master. Without any unexpected opportunities, she would likely only reach the quasi-sage realm.
Qing Xuanzi lowered his head in thought for a moment, waiting until the Twelve Golden Immortals below had all awakened.
Then he said, "Daoist Cihang, your comprehension is the highest among these disciples. Today, I will pass the Mixed Origin Method on to you. Are you willing to cultivate it?"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Cihang nervously glanced at Yuanshi. Who would not wish to learn the Mixed Origin Dao?
But she knew that her master was a saint who cared greatly about saving face. If she rashly agreed, she might end up being made to suffer for it.
When Yuanshi first heard Qing Xuanzi say this, he was overjoyed. This was a Mixed Origin Method that even saints yearned for.
But then he saw that Cihang had not agreed and had instead looked toward him.
On one hand, Yuanshi was immensely pleased that his disciple was so respectful of propriety.
On the other, he worried that Qing Xuanzi would be displeased and directly cut off Cihang's opportunity.
He hurriedly said, "Why are you not quickly thanking your Martial Uncle Qing Xuanzi?"
That meant he had agreed. Cihang's anxious heart finally settled.
"This disciple, Cihang, begs Martial Uncle to bestow the method upon me."
Qing Xuanzi did not mind this minor interruption. He flicked out a speck of spiritual light from his hand, which entered Cihang's brow.
"This method can be cultivated to the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm. As for cultivating further to the Mixed Origin Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, that will depend on your own fortune and destiny."
"Thank you, Martial Uncle, for transmitting the method."
Qing Xuanzi had settled one concern and paid no attention to the jealous and resentful gazes below.
He turned to Yuanshi and said, "Senior Brother, it is your turn."
"..."
While Qing Xuanzi was discussing the Dao at the Jade Void Palace.
A major event occurred in the primordial world.
The Demon Emperor took a wife. Nüwa acted as the matchmaker, bringing about the merit of Heavenly Marriage.
Yet on the day of the joyous celebration, Xihe and Changxi were attacked by an unknown force.
Both were severely injured. Had Nüwa not arrived at once.
They would certainly have perished.
Nüwa only performed some simple treatment to temporarily preserve their lives before pursuing the attacker.
She pursued them all the way into the starry sky and finally caught up to the culprit.
Under the pressure of a saint, the culprit was forced to bring out a lotus platform to save their life.
It was none other than the Twelve-Petal White Lotus of World Purification.
However, the culprit was merely a quasi-sage. After taking only one strike from Nüwa.
The Twelve-Petal White Lotus of World Purification lost all its radiance, and the culprit ruthlessly decided to self-destruct it.
Fortunately, Nüwa was quick enough to stop them.
Otherwise, one of the Four Great Lotus Platforms would have been lost.
At this moment, within the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain.
Yuanshi was in the midst of lecturing on the Dao.
Qing Xuanzi listened with great interest as well. After all, this was his first time hearing the Immortal Dao transmitted by Hongjun.
By confirming their paths against each other, he also gained considerably.
Seeing that Qing Xuanzi greatly enjoyed his lecture, Yuanshi became even more earnest in his exposition.
He had coveted Qing Xuanzi's Mixed Origin Great Luo method for a long time.
If he could please Qing Xuanzi, it would be worth it even if he talked himself dry.
Unfortunately, just as he reached the most captivating part.
Daoist Cihang below suddenly encountered a problem. Her face turned as pale as gold paper, and she lost consciousness.
What kind of person was Yuanshi? A saint of the primordial world. Seeing Cihang in this state.
He immediately understood the reason.
"Junior Brother, save your martial niece for now. I will be back shortly." Leaving those words behind, Yuanshi shot straight into the starry sky.
Before you continue
