Primordial Era: Reborn as a Qi Immortal, Steadily Cultivating

Chapter 116 In Order
Inside the Yuandao Palace, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified.

Those thirty-three disciples who passed numerous trials and finally obtained the opportunity to attain the Great Dao.

They were all deeply agitated and unable to control themselves.

Their eyes were filled with fervor as they looked up at the Daoist Master in green robes, who sat high on the cloud bed.

Kong Lingzi, Yuanshan, Baiyu, and Yunshu were even more excited.

His face revealed uncontrollable ecstasy, and he once again solemnly kowtowed to Ma Yuan on the cloud bed.

"Your disciple kowtows in gratitude to your teacher!"

"No need to be polite."

With a flick of his sleeve, Ma Yuan lifted the four people up with a gentle magical force.

He looked at the four disciples before him, whose backgrounds and temperaments were all of the highest caliber, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

"Now that you have entered my tutelage and will be personally instructed by me, you will naturally have treasures to protect you and to safeguard your path."

As soon as he finished speaking, he simply waved his hand casually.

Four dazzling beams of light shot out from his sleeve.

They transformed into four innate spiritual treasures with extraordinary Daoist charm, which quietly floated in front of the four people.

"Empty Spirit Child".

Ma Yuan turned his gaze to his eldest disciple, who possessed the most elegant demeanor.

"You are the embodiment of ethereal energy, with a pure nature, perfectly in accordance with the Dao of tranquility and non-action."

This treasure is called the Void-Sweeping Dust Brush, a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure containing fifteen innate restrictions. It possesses the wondrous power to cleanse the primordial spirit and dispel illusions. Today, I bestow it upon you.”

"Ape Mountain."

His gaze then fell upon his second disciple, who was the most robust in stature.

"You are the transformed form of the ancient, exotic Black Iron Back Ape, with a powerful physical body. You follow the path of proving the Dao through strength. In future battles, you should prioritize defense."

This treasure is called the Xuanhuang Armor, a low-grade innate spiritual treasure. It is born from the Xuanhuang energy of the earth, possessing unparalleled defensive capabilities, and is perfectly suited for your use.

"White jade."

"Your origins are unique, born from the interaction of Yin and Yang, and you have a talent for the Yin-Yang principle."

This treasure is called the Cleansing Branch, a low-grade innate spiritual treasure. It can cleanse evil energy and purify the true spirit, which can help you harmonize the yin and yang within your body.

“Yun Shu”.

Finally, he looked at Nafu's four most devoted disciples.

"You are a manifestation of the auspicious seven-colored cloud, and you are naturally in harmony with the fortune. This exquisite hairpin can not only protect your primordial spirit, but also gather a trace of blessings and fortune for you in the dark, which will greatly benefit your cultivation."

The four innate spiritual treasures were all obtained by Ma Yuan from the ruins of the Eastern Sea Immortal Court.

Although their rank is not top-tier, they are all exceptionally useful.

The bestowal of these gifts upon these four newly accepted disciples is perfectly appropriate.

The four men received a great treasure and were all moved to tears of gratitude.

Ma Yuan nodded slightly, then flicked his finger again.

Dozens of slightly dim streams of light shot out from his fingertips, transforming into various elixirs, treasure seals, spirit pearls, and other items, which fell into the hands of the remaining twenty-nine inner and outer disciples.

Although these treasures are not as precious as the four innate spiritual treasures, they are still rare resources for cultivation.

"Your disciple...kowtows in gratitude for your generous gift, Master!"

In an instant, the entire Yuandao Palace...

Whether it was the four disciples who received the innate spiritual treasure or the twenty-nine inner and outer disciples who received ordinary rewards, they all bowed deeply to Ma Yuan with heartfelt admiration.

Thus, the identities of the first generation of disciples of the Skull Mountain Daoist lineage were established.

Rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and there is a proper order between superiors and subordinates.

At this moment, the fortune of the Skull Mountain Dojo also became more stable and prosperous.

Do it all.

Ma Yuancai slowly swept his gaze over all the disciples present, and his voice became vast and distant once again.

"Treasures are ultimately just external things; the cultivation of the Great Dao must ultimately come from within oneself."

"From this day forward, I will expound the Great Dao to you all here. How much you can comprehend depends on your individual destiny." Having done all this, Ma Yuan gestured for all his disciples to sit down on the prayer mats.

He was preparing to begin expounding the Great Way to the people.

This time, he created a world within the Purple Jade Heaven and discussed the Dao with a complete prototype of the Heavenly Dao of the Middle Thousand World for nearly a Yuanhui.

The abundance of the harvest is far beyond what ordinary words can describe.

Although he still mainly cultivates the two supreme paths of the Five Elements and Cause and Effect.

However, his understanding of the other three thousand great principles, such as Yin and Yang, creation, wind and thunder, and space, has also reached an unprecedented level of profundity.

Although he is now at the late stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation.

But when it comes to understanding the great principles of heaven and earth, and mastering those myriad laws, it is a different matter.

They are already on par with those Great Immortals who specialize in their cultivation.

You must know how difficult it is to create a world within a single region.

That requires not only boundless magical power, but also an incredible and profound understanding of the evolution of the world and the changes in its laws.

Looking out over this vast and primordial wilderness.

Even for a Great Luo Golden Immortal who has achieved perfect enlightenment, or even a Quasi-Saint, to create a Middle Thousand World that can evolve on its own and whose laws are stable is nothing but a pipe dream.

Ma Yuan was able to accomplish this feat because he had all the advantages of timing and location.

Firstly, he has the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which are supreme treasures containing a chaotic micro-world within them, as his foundation.

Secondly, he also obtained the Purple Jade Immortal Mountain, a blessed land that had evolved over countless eons, as the cornerstone of the world's evolution.

Compared to the supreme power of Pangu, who single-handedly created the world from endless chaos, Ma Yuan's actions were merely a clever trick.

However, it is not something that other cultivators can imitate.

Because of this great fortune, Ma Yuan's understanding of the Dao has far surpassed his own cultivation level.

Ma Yuan looked down at the eager faces of his disciples.

He spoke slowly and calmly, beginning to expound on the fundamental principles and doctrines of his Skull Mountain lineage.

"It is better to rely on yourself than on others; a solid foundation is the most important thing."

"Our lineage does not strive for temporary hegemony, but seeks only eternal life that can withstand countless eons."

You should all remember this: the path of the Great Way is paved with careful steps, one footprint at a time; only by being steady and cautious can one go far.

These words are the unchanging foundation of his Skull Mountain lineage throughout the ages!
Having explained the concept of the Daoist tradition, Ma Yuan held nothing back.

He began by systematically explaining to all his disciples the most basic path of the Earth Immortal, the crucial points of cultivation leading to the immortality of the Golden Immortal, and the supreme righteous path.

He did not simply recite from the book, nor did he speak of those obscure and difficult-to-understand profound truths.

Instead, with a thought, he activated his already perfected Taiyi Dao Fruit, transforming the profound and mysterious cultivation methods into visible phenomena of heaven and earth.

He talked about how to gather magical power and solidify one's spiritual attainment.

Within the Yuandao Palace, endless innate spiritual energy gathered, transforming into sweet dew and nectar that slowly poured down from the heavens.

Every drop of this sweet rain contains the purest power of the Five Elements.

All the disciples had to do was absorb it into their bodies, and they felt their previously somewhat weak magical power instantly become incredibly solid and substantial!
He talked about how to temper one's primordial spirit and attain enlightenment.

Within the palace, a series of profound and purifying Taoist sounds resounded.

As the Daoist voice entered their ears, the disciples felt their primordial spirits become clear and their thoughts become unobstructed.

All the mental demons and distracting thoughts that arose from cultivation in the past were completely cleansed by the baptism of this Dao sound, leaving not a trace!
He spoke of how to condense the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit and attain the supreme realm of immortality of golden nature.

In that void, countless golden lotuses, imbued with the immortal Daoist essence, materialized around the disciples and slowly bloomed.

The birth and death of each golden lotus seems to be expounding some supreme truth that points directly to the origin of immortality.

The entire Yuandao Palace has been completely transformed into a supreme Dao field constructed by the laws of the Great Dao.

All the disciples listened with rapt attention.

They were already completely immersed in this vast ocean formed by the great Dao's divine pronouncements, forgetting themselves and the world around them.

Many people who had encountered bottlenecks in their cultivation in the past suddenly found clarity under this explanation that directly points to the origin of the Great Dao!
There were even disciples whose accumulated knowledge was already incredibly profound.

During this lecture, a sudden inspiration struck.

He broke through the shackles of his realm that had troubled him for many years, causing spiritual light to rise and Daoist charm to permeate the palace!
