This pleasant tea aroma not only filled the entire Yuqing Palace, but even Taishang Laozi in Taiqing Palace and Tongtian in Shangqing Palace clearly smelled it.
Yuanshi Tianzun had just picked up his teacup and hadn't had time to bring the tea to his mouth when Taishang Laozi and Tongtian appeared in Yuqing Palace.
"Second Senior Brother, you can't keep good things all to yourself. You have to learn to share."
After Tongtian finished speaking, he didn't stand on ceremony. He directly picked up a teacup and drank the tea in it in one gulp.
As the tea in the cup was drunk by Tongtian, a profound and wondrous feeling instantly appeared in his mind.
"What is this? Why does it contain Dao charm?" Tongtian asked with a shocked expression.
"Master, this is a Dao Questioning Tea Tree that this disciple obtained while traveling in the Great Desolate."
After Chen Xuan finished speaking, he picked up the teapot again and poured Tongtian's teacup about eighty percent full.
Chen Xuan knew the principle of not filling a teacup completely, but Tongtian was a little unwilling.
"Why didn't you fill it for me? Do you think it's a waste for me to drink this Dao Questioning Tea?"
Seeing Tongtian's eyes wide open, Taishang Laozi sighed helplessly, "This tea is named as it is, called Dao Questioning. Since it is Dao Questioning, how can it be filled?"
This made Tongtian suddenly realize, and he looked at Chen Xuan with a bit more approval.
Next, the Three Pure Ones sat there and tasted the tea, occasionally expounding on the Dao. Unconsciously, they entered an atmosphere of discussing the Dao.
At first, Chen Xuan was completely lost, but later he slowly entered a state of meditation.
The sound of the Three Pure Ones discussing the Dao resounded throughout Kunlun Mountain, and countless Great Desolate beings benefited from it.
Daoist Duobao, along with Qiu Shou Xian and the others, also sat outside the gate of Yuqing Palace, listening to the Three Pure Ones discuss the Dao.
The Three Pure Ones discussed the Dao for a full hundred years, and Chen Xuan also spent a hundred years in enlightenment.
Although his cultivation did not improve significantly, his state of mind had already reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
Even Daoist Duobao and the four of Qiu Shou Xian had their cultivation improved to varying degrees.
Daoist Duobao's cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, and the four of Qiu Shou Xian had reached the Profound Immortal realm.
Among the beings in Kunlun Mountain, there were even those who gained spiritual intelligence and transformed into human form because of this.
Finally, the tea was finished, and the sound of the Dao discussion stopped. Everything returned to peace, and Daoist Duobao and the others opened their eyes.
Daoist Duobao stood up and bowed towards the inside of Yuqing Palace, then spoke to the four of Qiu Shou Xian.
"You must remember, without Master and the two Senior Uncles explaining the Dao, we would not have our current cultivation.
But if it weren't for Senior Brother, you wouldn't even have the qualification to listen to the Dao. So from now on, when you see Senior Brother, you must perform the half-master'sCourtesy."
The four of Qiu Shou Xian naturally did not object. They immediately bowed to Daoist Duobao and said that they had remembered, Junior Brother.
For the next three hundred years, Chen Xuan finally returned to his sect and accepted the guidance of his master, Tongtian.
What Tongtian taught Chen Xuan was the Shangqing Array Dao. The Dao of arrays emphasizes both offense and defense, decisive killing, and contains endless slaughter.
This happened to coincide with Chen Xuan's Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, both born for battle.
In these three hundred years, Chen Xuan gained a lot. His cultivation had even reached the peak of the Grand Golden Immortal realm.
As long as the opportunity arrived, he could attain the Great Luo Dao at any time and become a powerful figure.
Tongtian's voice stopped, and Chen Xuan also opened his eyes.
"Chen Xuan, what have you learned in these three hundred years?"
"Master, in these three hundred years, this disciple has understood a principle: showing mercy to enemies is being cruel to oneself."
As soon as Chen Xuan said this, it couldn't help but make Tongtian frown. After all, this had nothing to do with the Dao of formations.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Reporting to Master, the Dao of formations contains the Five Elements and Yin-Yang, which are profound and wondrous.
There are trapping formations, sealing formations, killing formations, and isolating formations, but all formations do not deviate from their purpose, which is killing.
To elevate the killing power of a formation to the extreme, one must arrange it as aAbsolute Array (absolute formation), leaving no room for the person entering the formation to breathe.
The moment they enter the formation, they must be completely put to death. Those who can be killed should never be left alive."
Chen Xuan's words made Tongtian thoughtful, but in the end, he couldn't figure out the key.
Of course, Tongtian couldn't understand the reason now, but he would definitely understand it during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation.
Whether it was the Ten Ultimates Formation or the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation, even Master Tongtian's Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, all contained a glimmer of hope.
Even the three great ancient killing formations, the Heavenly Stars Formation and the Immortal Slaughtering Formation, were not truly absolute formations.
To speak of a true absolute formation, only the Witch Race's Twelve Divine Heavens Great Array of Gods and Demons could be called a true absolute killing formation.
Since Chen Xuan wanted to protect the Intercepting Sect, he naturally had to erase these glimmers of hope. That's why he said those words just now.
Since Tongtian didn't understand, he simply stopped thinking about it. He spoke again and asked Chen Xuan, "Then have you comprehended any formations?"
"Master, this disciple has indeed comprehended a set of formations, and it is a formation closely related to this disciple's true form.
It's just a pity that this disciple does not have the Eastern Azure Lotus Precious Color Banner, the Southern Off-Earth Flame Light Banner, the Western Plain Color Cloud Realm Banner, and the Central Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Banner.
If this disciple can gather the Innate Five Direction Banners, I can set up the Innate Five Elements Reversal Grand Array..."
Then Chen Xuan elaborated on the Innate Five Elements Reversal Grand Array he had comprehended to Tongtian.
Hearing this, Tongtian couldn't help but click his tongue repeatedly, and he couldn't help but worry for Chen Xuan in his heart.
Once this Innate Five Elements Reversal Grand Array was unleashed, it would inevitably bring boundless karma upon Chen Xuan.
He wanted to open his mouth to persuade him to give up, but he was afraid of ruining Chen Xuan's opportunity, so in the end, he could only sigh and shake his head.
"This formation is profound and worthy of the word 'Innate'. It's just a pity that its killing intent is too strong; it is an innate absolute formation.
Since you have comprehended its essence, this master will definitely help you obtain the other four Five Direction Banners.
However, this master has one more thing to tell you, and that is, unless it is a matter of life and death, you must never use this formation."
Chen Xuan nodded at Tongtian, and before he could even express his gratitude, he heard a bell ringing in the sky.
Immediately after, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice resounded throughout the Great Desolate, "Three thousand years have passed. This poor Dao will preach for the second time in the Purple Cloud Palace. All those who are fated can come to the Purple Cloud Palace to listen to the Dao."
Tongtian hurriedly led Chen Xuan out of Shangqing Palace and bowed in the direction of Purple Cloud Palace.
At the same time, Taishang Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun also walked out of their respective palaces.
Just then, a golden light descended from the sky. This golden light landed directly on Chen Xuan.
The next moment, Chen Xuan was lifted by the golden light and went directly into the air.
At the same time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun's voice sounded again, "This poor Daoist will first bring Chen Xuan into Purple Cloud Palace. You all follow closely and do not delay."
