Empress Nuwa lectured for three thousand years. When the final Dao Sound faded, its lingering echoes still reverberated through Wa Huang Palace. The myriad Great Dao phenomena gradually dispersed, leaving only a dense Dao aura that lingered throughout the hall.
Only after a long while did the mighty experts within the hall gradually awaken from their profound states of enlightenment.
Some wore ecstatic expressions, others were lost in thought, some had attained sudden realization, while others showed regret. The countless states of living beings were all on display.
Yet without exception, both felt they gained greatly. They had gained a clearer understanding of the road ahead, and quite a few mighty experts who had been trapped at a bottleneck for countless kalpas felt their auras subtly loosen, showing signs of imminent breakthroughs.
The Three Pure Ones were the first to rise. They solemnly bowed to Empress Nuwa on the cloud bed. "Thank you, junior sister, for expounding the Saint Dao. Your merit is immeasurable!"
As Pangu's Orthodox Lineage, they possessed their own pride. Yet after hearing this lecture, they had indeed gained a more definite grasp of the path to sainthood. They accepted this Cause and Effect.
Immediately afterward, Di Jun and Tai Yi led the demon race, Jieyin and Zhunti brought the people of The West, and Zhen Yuan Zi, Styx River, and all the other mighty experts rose together. They respectfully saluted, their voices converging into a roaring tide that rang throughout the grand hall:
"Thank you, Sage Nuwa, for the grace of transmitting the Dao!"
Empress Nuwa sat high upon the cloud bed, her saintly countenance calm. Accepting their salute, she gave a slight nod. "The Great Dao is impartial. I hope all fellow Daoists cultivate diligently and attain the Great Dao soon."
With those words, this lecture officially came to an end.
The mighty experts no longer lingered. Carrying all manner of complicated and excited emotions, they saluted Empress Nuwa once more before departing.
They transformed into streaks of light, flying from Wa Huang Palace one after another and plunging into the boundless Chaos as they returned to the Primordial World.
The Three Pure Ones departed first. With a flash of clear light, they vanished into Chaos. They needed to return to Kunlun Mountain at once to enter seclusion, digest their gains, and charge toward the long-awaited Saint Realm.
Di Jun and Tai Yi likewise hurried away with the demon race. Protected by the power of the Myriad Stars Array, they swiftly disappeared.
They were equally pressed for time. Nuwa Becomes a Saint had greatly increased the pressure on the demon race. They had to find their own path to sainthood as quickly as possible.
Mighty experts such as Styx River and Kun Peng also displayed their divine abilities and swiftly fled.
Jieyin and Zhunti wore expressions of irrepressible joy and urgency as they looked toward Ming Xin beside them.
Daoist Zhunti said in a low voice, "Disciple, how much did you gain this time? Return to Mount Sumeru at once and contemplate it carefully!"
Ming Xin sensed the increasingly harmonious auras of his two masters, auras that even faintly touched the threshold of the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal. He understood that they had likely reached a critical juncture as well. Nodding, he said, "This disciple has gained greatly and needs to enter seclusion to digest it."
"Good! Let us go!"
Jieyin and Zhunti said no more. Nirvana Buddha Light and the divine radiance of the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree shone from their bodies at the same time, enveloping Ming Xin.
They became a golden rainbow that spanned Chaos, racing toward the Western Paradise of Ultimate Bliss even faster than they had come.
Their hearts yearned to return.
Passing through layer upon layer of chaotic currents and crossing endless void, the golden rainbow representing the greatest combat strength of the Western Teachings finally reached the western Earth Realm and shot directly into Mount Sumeru, which remained firmly protected by the Nirvana Bodhi Great Array.
As the radiance faded, the three figures appeared within the core Secret Realm in the heart of the mountain.
The instant they landed, Jieyin and Zhunti did not even have time to ask Ming Xin about the details before they felt the surging, turbulent Dao Cultivation and Magic Power within them, stirred by the lecture and nearly ready to break through their barriers.
They exchanged a glance and saw the same resolve and excitement in each other's eyes.
"Senior Brother, the time has come! We must enter seclusion at once and charge toward the Saint Realm!" Zhunti spoke urgently, with unprecedented confidence in his voice.
Jieyin nodded heavily. Beneath his suffering expression lay unshakable resolve. "Indeed. Disciple, you should also enter seclusion quickly and stabilize your gains. Once your master and martial uncle emerge, we shall discuss everything in detail."
With that, the two figures flickered and vanished into the depths of their respective cultivation caves. Heavy restrictions rose in an instant, completely isolating the inside from the outside.
Clearly, they could no longer wait to digest the Sage's Dao and attempt that final step toward Attaining the Dao!
Standing within the Secret Realm, Ming Xin could clearly sense two vast, profound auras beginning to rise and gather in its depths.
They were Primordial Golden Immortals at perfection launching their charge toward the Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
He took a deep breath and suppressed the turmoil in his heart at witnessing history unfold.
He knew that next, not only would his two masters begin charging toward the Saint Realm, but the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, and even Di Jun and Tai Yi of the Sun Star, would likely do the same in succession.
The Primordial World was about to enter an era in which sages emerged one after another and the entire order of the world was completely overturned!
"I must hurry as well." Ming Xin's gaze was resolute as he took one step forward and returned to his familiar meditation chamber.
Sitting cross-legged, he did not immediately enter deep seclusion. Instead, he first used his divine sense to connect with the system.
"System, retrieve all records of the lecture at Wa Huang Palace and establish an independent database titled 'Saint Realm Insights.'
Conduct deep linked deductions with the core modules of the Great Dao of Killing and the Five Elements Great Dao. Simulate possible paths for attaining the Primordial Grand Unity."
[Command confirmed. Establishing database... commencing linked deduction... based on current data and the host's Great Dao completion level, the preliminary estimated success rate of attaining the Dao is: 17.8%... optimizing path...]
17.8%? Ming Xin raised an eyebrow slightly. This success rate might not seem high, but for attaining the Primordial Grand Unity, it was already astonishing!
One had to know that without Primordial Violet Qi, an ordinary Primordial Golden Immortal at perfection had an almost zero chance of successfully Attaining the Dao! This alone proved just how deep his current foundation was!
"Still not enough..." Ming Xin closed his eyes. The phenomena of Slaughter in his left eye and Five Elements in his right slowly emerged.
"I must thoroughly integrate everything gained from this lecture and push my Great Dao to the true ultimate limit of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!"
He calmed his mind and began devoting himself fully to digesting those three thousand years of Saint Dao insights, transforming them into the firmest foundation for his own path of Attaining the Dao.
Mount Sumeru once again sank into absolute silence and seclusion. Yet once the power brewing within the mountain erupted, it would surely be earthshaking and shake the entire Primordial World universe!
