Listening to Li Yi's Dao Discussion, Tongtian and Nuwa Both Breakthrough!

Meanwhile, above the East Sea, on Yingzhou Immortal Island.

At the center of the immortal island, child attendants had already set up a plaza, and Li Yi sat high upon a jade platform in the middle of it.

Unlike the Purple Cloud Palace, which only accommodated two thousand people, over ten thousand cultivators had gathered here.

Most of them were at the Golden Immortal level, with a few Supreme Unity Golden Immortals, and fewer than a thousand Great Firmament Golden Immortals.

Of course, Li Yi looked quite calm. For this Dao discussion, he did not expect any grand merit.

If he could attract those Heavenly Dao Sages to take him as their master, that would naturally be best. If those Heavenly Dao Sages did not come, he also had the ability to create Heavenly Dao Sages himself!

In Hongjun's eyes, those designated by the Heavenly Dao must be sages.

Yet the Great Dao numbered fifty, and Heavenly Derivation was forty-nine, with one escaping. Even the destiny determined by the Heavenly Dao could be altered!

He knew the sage paths of several figures in the future. If he truly had the mind, he could entirely designate his subordinates to intercept the sage paths of those few people; of course, the difficulty would certainly be greater.

Having made up his mind and seeing that the agreed-upon date had arrived, Li Yi opened his mouth slightly, and Dao Resonance instantly echoed throughout the entire Daoist Abode.

"The three-thousand-year period has arrived. Today, I open the altar to discuss the Dao, lecturing everyone on the Golden Immortal to Great Firmament Dao!"

The Great Firmament Dao he spoke of was the Great Firmament Dao deduced through his current perspective to best suit the creatures of the Primordial World, rather than his own Law Dao.

He was a Chaos Demon God carrying the Heaven and Earth Law talent; if he spoke of his own Law Dao, probably not a single person present would understand a word.

As soon as these words were spoken, a glimmer of pleasant surprise flashed in the eyes of everyone present, even those Great Firmament Golden Immortals being no exception.

After all, everyone's Dao was different. Although they had cultivated to the Great Firmament realm, they still did not know whether their own Dao was correct. If someone close to a sage like the Heaven-Earth Daoist lectured them on the Great Firmament Golden Immortal Dao, they could also gain some enlightenment.

As Li Yi began his lecture, wondrous signs of heavenly flowers falling in abundance and golden lotuses welling up from the earth emerged within the Daoist Abode. A wondrous fragrance drifted across the venue. The crowd of Golden Immortals and Supreme Unity Immortals below listened in utter fascination, while the Great Firmament figures also furrowed their brows at times and beamed with joy at others, evidently each gaining their own insights.

In the crowd, Tongtian wore a black robe and likewise listened with sudden enlightenment.

Although he had cultivated to the Great Firmament realm, he only knew that certain aspects of the Dao were so, without knowing why they were so. Now that Li Yi was lecturing, it could be said that he was thoroughly disassembling the abstruse and difficult parts.

At the same time, two streaks of light descended silently at the edge of the Daoist Abode. Gazing at the azure-robed daoist sitting cross-legged on the jade platform, Nuwa felt a sudden clarity in her heart, and the previous sense of panic completely dissipated.

The two did not deliberately squeeze their way to the front, but simply sat cross-legged on the ground at the periphery, earnestly and carefully listening to the Sage Dao from Li Yi's mouth.

In the Purple Cloud Palace, the three thousand years had passed.

Hongjun reined in the Dao Resonance, and the wondrous signs in the air slowly faded away.

In the venue, the vast majority of the daoists listening to the lecture had already grown drowsy, and some—especially the Witch Tribe—had departed after just a few days of the lecture.

Although a small portion managed to persist until the end, they only snapped back to their senses and realized the lecture had concluded when Hongjun closed his mouth.

This was much like attending a class in later generations; if you missed a single part in the middle, everything afterward sounded like heavenly scriptures. If Hongjun hadn't stopped lecturing, they wouldn't even have known it was already over.

At the head of the crowd, Jieyin and Zhunti looked at each other, both catching the mutual confusion in each other's eyes.

Among everyone, only Laozi and Yuanshi among the Three Pure Ones had gained considerable enlightenment.

Naturally, Hongjun saw the bewildered state of the crowd, but he didn't mind. He felt that his lecture this time was already simple enough; if they still couldn't understand, it meant they lacked aptitude, and it would be useless for him to say more!

"This Dao discussion ends here!"

"After the Third Assembly, I shall lecture again in the Purple Cloud Palace."

"The next discourse will be the Quasi-Saint Dao!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd—who had been completely in the dark and had resolved not to come next time—all perked up.

One after another, they stood up and paid respectful respects to Hongjun.

"Many thanks to the teacher for imparting the Dao!"

After paying respectful respects, the crowd rose and departed.

Laozi and Yuanshi walked through the Hundun Qi, both wearing a hint of pleasant surprise on their faces.

"Second Brother, how were your gains from listening to the Dao this time?"

The corners of Yuanshi's mouth curled into a smile, yet he still spoke with deliberate nonchalance.

"The path of the late Great Firmament Golden Immortal is already clear to me!"

"Returning this time, I shall make a breakthrough..."

He had spent a long time consolidating his foundation at the middle Great Firmament Golden Immortal stage, so breaking through now was quite natural.

Laozi nodded slightly, and his expression could not hide his smile either.

"Upon returning this time, I should be able to break through to the peak Great Firmament Golden Immortal!"

"It's just a pity... Third Brother is not here and missed a great opportunity!"

The Three Pure Ones all possessed the lingering heritage of Pangu and possessed exceptionally high comprehension. Although Hongjun's lecture was abstruse and difficult, the two of them still learned a great deal.

Hearing this, Yuanshi let out a cold snort and smiled.

"Third Brother insisted on seeking that daoist, so he naturally deserves this tribulation."

His personality usually did not get along well with Tongtian's, and now that Tongtian had suffered a loss due to his own stubbornness, Yuanshi was naturally happy to see it happen.

Meanwhile, on Yingzhou Immortal Island.

The wondrous signs in the sky persisted, and from time to time someone would break through realms. Such phenomena had been countless over the past three thousand years, and everyone was long accustomed to them.

Yet on this day, just as Li Yi finished speaking on all his insights regarding the Great Firmament Dao, a terrifying Great Firmament might surged from the body of a black-robed daoist below.

Li Yi had already concluded his lecture by this point, and he smoothly protected the Golden Immortal and Supreme Unity figures around the daoist.

Accompanied by the surging spiritual power across the immortal island, a breakthrough phenomenon also surged from Tongtian's body, drawing envious gazes from all the immortals on the island.

At the same time, at the periphery of the Daoist Abode, Nuwa likewise closed her phoenix eyes, and the Primordial Spiritual Qi atop the island surged frantically toward her body as she began breaking through toward the late Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm.

Gazing at the scene of the two breaking through simultaneously, a trace of a smile surfaced on Li Yi's face.

The spiritual power required for the two of them to break through was nothing to his immortal island. Instead, because they had broken through thanks to the Dao he discussed, they had forged a profound karma with him.

As the breakthrough phenomena dissipated and he felt the peak Great Firmament Golden Immortal realm on his body, a trace of pleasant surprise surfaced on Tongtian's face.

He stood up and bowed very respectfully to Li Yi.

"Tongtian thanks the teacher for imparting the Dao!"

Everyone on the island bowed in unison.

"Thank you, Teacher, for imparting the Dao."

Li Yi's transmission of the Dao had disassembled the teachings and explained them to them piece by piece. Regardless of their comprehension levels, everyone present could be said to have benefited immensely.

The Dao he lectured on was not necessarily superior to Hongjun's, but he and Hongjun were both Chaos Demon Gods with extraordinary origins. When Hongjun lectured subconsciously, he assumed he had made it very simple, yet those with low comprehension would gain nothing at all!

Li Yi was different. He had the experience of undergoing nine years of compulsory education and had experienced the process of going from simplicity to complexity, so he naturally wished to integrate this method into his own Dao lectures.

Because of this, the people present were naturally able to understand a great deal.

A smile appeared on Li Yi's face, but he didn't say much more. Leaving instructions to continue the lecture after the Third Assembly, his figure flashed and he vanished from the spot.

After respectfully seeing Li Yi off, Tongtian did not linger. He rose, transformed into a streak of light, and left the place, heading back to his Daoist Abode in the Kunlun Mountains.

He now also wanted to know what realms his two elder brothers had reached.
