Shennong Sequence

"You should know that the words 'foundation building' are not empty words; they all require a certain foundation. So, the foundation building of humanity, earth, and heaven is based on people's hearts, beliefs, the seven emotions and six desires, or a piece of land or sea, or a natural object."

"This foundation building of the Great Dao not only requires you to comprehend the profound principles of the Great Dao, but also requires a material of the Great Dao level as the foundation upon which you rely during the foundation building process."

“I see that your material transformation method aligns with the ‘primordial simplicity’ and the ‘primordial Taiji’, so I can give you a copy of the ‘original essence of primordial simplicity and Taiji’ to help you build the ‘foundation of the Great Dao’ using the ‘material transformation method’!”

"But the Five Primordial Origins of the Primordial Chaos are always hard to come by... So you need to go back to the future and find three immortal seedlings for my sect to pass on the Dao. You can return when the immortal gate of my Myriad Spirits Imperial Dao Sect reopens and join the new lineage of cultivation. What do you think?"

The requests made by the Taoist priest are all for the future and do not require Zhao Yun to fulfill them now.

"This..." Zhao Yun hesitated, "In the future, I will also have a sect as my master. I wonder if there will be any conflict between the two?"

Normally, Zhao Yun would naturally agree to become a disciple of the Immortal Sect.

But his future master, True Lord Longze, is about to attain enlightenment and become an immortal.

Moreover, the Spring God Palace is no ordinary force. With a subordinate like True Lord Longze, who is at the fourth rank and not at the top, the Spring God Palace must be controlled by a top-level figure at the True Immortal level, making it a force at the Immortal level.

It's not something that can be accomplished by simply defecting from one's sect and joining the Myriad Spirits Imperial Dao Sect.

The potential risks must be explained in advance. You can't just agree on a whim, or you'll get into serious trouble later.

"That's alright. Over the long course of time, what you're worried about will likely have already been resolved... We won't force you to."

"Are those three immortal seedlings like us, possessing the five elements of immortal spiritual roots, or something else entirely?"

"The Five Elements Spiritual Roots are merely the inner standard for entering my Myriad Spirits lineage. As for Immortal Seedlings, they must naturally possess the potential to become an immortal! Or, if you can elevate an ordinary person to the level of an immortal, that would also count as a spot!"
Furthermore, these three immortal seedlings must cultivate the old method of Qi refining!
As for the new Sequence Method, although it allows for rapid attainment of enlightenment, it has significant limitations. Outside of this 'Origin World of Earth' and its several associated realms, one's abilities will be greatly diminished..."

Zhao Yun smiled wryly after hearing this. Although there was no time limit for finding the three immortal seedlings, it was precisely the most difficult task.

However, as he cultivated his path, he accumulated a great deal of karmic debt, to the point that he felt like he had too many lice to be afraid of getting bitten.

"In that case, disciple Zhao Yun pays respects to the sect leader!"

"Hmm." The old man nodded. "Today I will impart to you the method of establishing the foundation of the Great Dao, the two original states of Primordial Essence and Taiji, and the first part of the supreme immortal scripture of my Wanling Yudao Sect, the Wanling Yiyi Jing!"

With a flick of his finger, 'Ling Daoren' caused a surge of information to appear in Zhao Yun's mind.

Then, he felt a gentle breeze brush past him, and he returned to the Hall of Inheritance.

After looking up and seeing the quiet pedestrians and endless bookshelves around him, as well as the 'Spiritual Daoist' clone sitting in the sun at the entrance of the Inheritance Hall, he closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged to digest the many inherited scriptures in his mind.

These scriptures not only contain the methods for forging the foundation of the Great Dao, but also two special, sealed primordial five elements, and a special book with dazzling immortal light.

Zhao Yun quickly realized that this was the first part of the "Myriad Spirits Return to One Heaven Intent Scripture," which directly points to the Great Dao Golden Core, and it also included the Dao of Slaughter, "Slaying Myself to Understand the Dao Technique."

In addition, the message the sect leader passed on to him included information about their origins and that he could return home after a hundred years of peaceful cultivation.

After digesting all the information, Zhao Yun got up again, glanced around the Inheritance Hall, and then left. As he left, he bowed to the 'Spiritual Daoist' clone who was basking in the sun with his eyes closed at the door, and then returned to the place where he and Wang Tian lived.

Next comes the process of building the foundation for the Great Dao.

The first step is to reorganize one's material transformation method according to the foundational method of the Great Dao, so that it can better fit the transformation of the myriad things in the state of 'Tai Su' and 'Tai Ji'.

He even went so far as to visit sacred mountains and marshes, and ordinary markets and towns, to analyze the composition of all things in the world using the method of material transformation, to memorize it, and then to modify it, so as to become familiar with the composition process of all things.

The informational states of all things can be considered as some of the enhancements that assist in the foundation-building process of the Great Dao.

After all, if one wants to build the foundation of the Great Dao based on the two innate states of Tai Su and Tai Chi, one must at least be familiar with the material composition of all things in the world.

Otherwise, what will we use to build the foundation of the Great Way?

Take the void of nothingness, which we know nothing about?
Therefore, this also kept Zhao Yun busy while he was sightseeing.

When Zhao Yun took his junior sister out for a stroll and to relax, they traveled through layer after layer of sect boundaries, witnessed different things, and finally arrived at the Second Imperial Immortal City.

Zhao Yun had been in seclusion for over a year, almost two years, without seeing Xin Ruyin.

It would be a good opportunity to take this chance to travel and relax, and at the same time, to build a foundation for the Great Dao and condense the information between all things and all matter, so as to meet with Xin Ruyin.

Besides that, according to the information Zhao Yun received from the sect leader, Ling Daoren, they had never been here before, which was considered a completion of some information transmission. The sect had no other requirements for everyone, only asking them to stay here for a hundred years as an anchor point in time, and to focus on their cultivation... nothing else.

This could be discussed with Xin Ruyin to ease her worries and put her mind at ease.

Besides that, Zhao Yun was curious about what Xin Ruyin's Great Dao Foundation Establishment was.
As for Senior Brother Han, with whom I have a fairly good relationship, I felt too embarrassed to ask.

After all, everyone's path to the Great Dao Foundation is a secret, and knowing its contents would make it very effective.

So sometimes, not asking is the better process.

But Xin Ruyin and herself were destined not to be people of this era, and sooner or later they would leave and return to the future world.

Both of them have cultivated the new sequence method, which naturally clashes with the old method system... However, all they can bring back at that time is their soul and will, so the Great Dao Foundation Building is just a process in the ancient times for the two of them. They can ask each other about it and see some differences, etc.

In addition, the sect leader, Ling Daoren, also explained to him the different processes of establishing a foundation for the Great Dao, which could be considered a lecture.

Therefore, Zhao Yun had a clearer understanding of the Great Dao Foundation Building, and naturally became curious about Xin Ruyin's Great Dao Foundation Building method.

After all, logically speaking, Xin Ruyin didn't have the same favorable conditions as his material transformation method.

Furthermore, the common methods of establishing a foundation for the Great Dao are often impossible to master because people cannot leave their sects or descend to the lower realms... (End of Chapter)
