The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 244: The Supreme Being comes out, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Spirits

Fengqi Mountain, quiet room.

Once the soul is complete, a divine flower blooms in the entrance hall.

The upper, middle, and lower dantian are completely connected, the breaths interact, the essence rises into the air, the qi shifts, and the divine flower meets in the mysterious gate.

The three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit move according to the three powers of heaven, earth, and humanity, gradually revealing profound meaning, deepening the understanding of principles, and enriching the Taoist charm.

After rotating eighty-one times, the Taiji Heaven trembled, and a Taiji Law mixed with the Yellow Court Qi merged into the essence flower.

The three flowers slowly bloom, each with nine petals, each petal crystal clear. The blooming of the flowers reveals me, my original intention, my heart, and my Daoist heart, the three hearts united as one.

The three flowers surrounded the primordial spirit, guarding the entrance and suppressing itself, making it impervious to all magic. With a crackling sound, a seedling grew on the nine-petaled flower.

The seedlings take root in the Taiji Heaven, absorbing the principles of Taiji and the Qi of the Yellow Court, and grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It grows in nine breaths, blossoms in nine breaths, bears fruit in nine breaths, and falls from the tree when ripe. The fruit falls and splits open along the way.

An old Taoist priest in black robes with white hair, white eyebrows, white beard, and white skin emerged from the crowd, exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom and possessing a kind and benevolent appearance.

He wore finely patterned shoes, yet his appearance was that of an ordinary, unassuming old man, who solemnly declared:

"I am the Supreme Daoist Master of the Supreme Dao, governing Yin and Yang, separating the pure from the impure, and being the head of all essences."

To identify oneself.

The Supreme Taoist transformed into light, descending straight down from the Mysterious Pass to the Lower Dantian, and entering the Taiji Heaven.

The Taiji Heaven suddenly trembled.

It's like adding the finishing touch to a painting, or like the birth of the Heavenly Way, the emergence of the Earthly Way, and the opening of the Human Way.

This world suddenly came to life.

The Taiji Heaven, which had already expanded due to Xuanming's breakthrough, surged again, reaching a distance of three thousand miles before stopping.

The heavens and earth are three thousand feet apart, and the four directions are three thousand miles apart. The things transformed by the Dao, such as mountains, rivers, grass, trees, insects, fish, birds and beasts, gradually spread with a sense of vitality. The water flows gently, and the insects chirp and the birds sing, making it more like a complete little world.

After taking control of Taiji Heaven, the Supreme Taoist priest bowed to the heavens, kowtowed to the earth, and bowed to people, displaying impeccable manners.

After bowing three times, he said in a deep voice, "May Heaven bestow blessings, may Earth bring auspicious omens, and may people prosper."

He paused, then cupped his hands and said, "Please grant my request, fellow Daoist."

Up to the entrance hall.

Xuanming Yuanshen lowered his gaze.

After a few moments of silence, he slowly spoke: "Granted!"

Follow your words.

The Taiji Heaven roared, and rays of light shone everywhere. An ancient and simple Taoist palace hung high between heaven and earth.

Heaven bestows blessings and pure air; the earth sends forth auspicious energy.

The Dao Palace instantly became a treasure trove for cultivation. The Supreme Lord entered it and named the Dao Palace Xuandu.

At the same time, the three flowers gathered at the top of the head, nourishing the body, and the magical power and physical body increased dramatically. Xuanming also had a completely new understanding of heaven and earth, with clearer insights, more thorough understanding, and more comprehensive analysis.

A strong wind rose at Fengqi Mountain.

A flood of inspiration poured into the guest room.

At night, a vast expanse of starlight descends.

Feng Xi and the Wutong Tree God were alarmed.

Other creatures of the Phoenix Clan were also attracted to the area.

Surrounded by the energy tides composed of spiritual energy and starlight, each person sat cross-legged, sharing in the blessings of creation.

Three days and three nights later, the energy tide dissipated.

Xuanming opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a chaotic aura, gray and mysterious, indescribable.

With a thought, he suppressed the strange phenomenon and felt his own power increase several times over, the nine thousand-foot-tall Dao Tree, the ten-thousand-foot-tall primordial spirit, and the vast star river within his body. He couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

At this moment, Xuanming had the illusion that he could tear the heavens and earth apart. The primordial spirit of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top can reach nine thousand feet, but his primordial spirit is already ten thousand feet. They seem to be worlds apart, but in fact, nine thousand feet is a limit.

On this basis, every zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) of growth represents a breakthrough, a self-sublimation. A difference of a thousand zhang is like heaven and earth between him and ordinary cultivators who have gathered their three flowers at the top. More importantly, the essence flower actually gave birth to a Daoist, born from the innate primordial essence, wielding the Taiji, with unparalleled mystery, much like the legendary old Daoist ancestor from his previous life.

Xuanming has some kind of mysterious connection with him.

The most direct and beneficial manifestation is that the principles this Taoist master comprehended are profound, clear, and applicable.

The Supreme Taoist can also help evolve the Taiji Heaven, promote the advancement of heaven and earth, and control the outer landscape of the Yellow Court. His strength is unfathomable.

Xuanming once entered the Taiji Heaven and asked the Supreme Daoist about his origins. The Daoist only replied, "I was born because of you, and was born in accordance with Heaven and Earth," and then fell silent.

When pressed about his relationship with that Taoist patriarch, the Supreme Taoist smiled but remained silent, closing his eyes to meditate.

Left with no other choice, he had to leave Taiji Heaven.

Thinking about all this, Xuanming shook his head slightly, but he didn't dwell on it. Anyway, he couldn't escape it, and he would find out when the time was right.

After consolidating his realm, Xuanming got up and left the seclusion.

Outside the guesthouse.

Fengxi and the Wutong Tree God waited patiently.

Upon seeing Xuanming emerge from seclusion, they all offered their congratulations: "Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on your further advancement in cultivation and the gathering of the Three Flowers at the top of your head."

Xuanming returned the greeting: "I must thank you both for your help. If it weren't for the Dao demonstration last time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have broken through so quickly."

"Ultimately, it is also because of your profound knowledge and extraordinary talent that you were able to achieve such a breakthrough in just one performance."

The colorful sedan chair was carried by everyone.

The three practitioners praised each other.

Xuanming proposed a friendly exchange.

After considering it, the Wutong Tree Goddess agreed, as she was also eager to see the True Lord's abilities.

Deep in Yuxiu Mountain.

Inside a small world of flames.

Towering trees form a strong, solid canopy.

The intertwining of the laws of wood and fire condensed into a ten-thousand-foot-tall blue phoenix and a ten-thousand-foot-tall fire phoenix, with the wind fueling the fire and the flames spreading like wildfire.

Xuanming remained calm and composed, his palm gleaming.

Yin and Yang, black and white intertwined, gave rise to a Tai Chi diagram. The Tai Chi diagram beneath his feet made him invincible.

Despite the raging winds and fires, it remained unharmed.

With a light wave of his right hand, a clear light appeared, sweeping away all the wind and fire in the sky. The laws dissipated, all the trees withered and turned into ashes, nourishing the earth. Fallen petals are not heartless things; they turn into spring mud to protect the flowers.

Crimson robes fluttered, a phoenix's cry arose, and Feng Xi transformed into a nine-thousand-foot-tall fire phoenix, bringing with her endless Southern Bright Fire. Her Dao Domain unfolded, empowering her, and the Southern Bright Fire scorched the heavens and boiled the seas, melting the laws of nature.

A single tree can form a forest, the parasol tree reaching for the sky. The parasol tree god is silent yet ruthless, and a semi-arche formed by a parasol tree is suppressed down, like an ancient divine mountain or an endless sea.

The tree god stood with his hands behind his back, appearing both divine and demonic.

Faced with the overwhelming combined attack, Xuanming remained calm, simply waving his whisk, causing three thousand silver threads to flutter down, and a sky and earth composed of silver threads pressed down.

Silver threads dance, evolving into the Dao realm.

The world is desolate and ancient, with only one Dao tree standing alone, as if it has existed since time immemorial, with lush branches and leaves, a world in itself.

The Primordial Dao Domain has appeared in the world.

The Southern Bright Fire was shattered in an instant, and the Wutong Dao Domain was destroyed in a moment. Feng Xi and the Wutong Tree God stopped fighting and looked at Xuan Ming, who had fought dozens of rounds and had only used his whisk to deal with the situation from beginning to end, and couldn't help but feel awe.

You should know that they are not ordinary cultivators.

Feng Xi is among the top cultivators of the same level, and the Wutong Tree God is even a half-step Great Power.

This True Lord handled it so easily; he must already be a supreme expert below the level of a Great Power.

Thinking of this, Feng Xi's desire to befriend the Wutong Tree God intensified. Recalling the tacit understanding they had reached during Xuanming's breakthrough, they nodded to each other.

After putting away his Primordial Dao Domain, Xuanming said "Thank you for your kind offer." After a brief conversation, he intended to take his leave and lead Xuan Yan away from Phoenix Perch Mountain. However, just as he finished speaking, he saw Feng Xi take out something.
