In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Leaving aside Hongjun Daozu from the Investiture of the Gods, Laozi is the founder of Taoism. The fact that he only resides in the Great Luo Heaven shows his high status.

This is the highest level among all the heavens and realms in the Six Realms.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately bowed respectfully and said:

"Chunyangzi of the Daoist sect pays respects to the Dao Ancestor!"

"Chunyangzi? No wonder, no wonder..."

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's Taoist name, Laozi immediately nodded in realization.

The title "Chunyangzi" is not just a code name. To be able to obtain such an honor and to be a master of Taoism who has cultivated multiple supernatural powers in the lower realm, one can imagine his achievements.

......... 0 ...

"Young friend, please don't be offended. It's just that you broke through the Void Realm and were able to ignore the rules of the Heavenly Realm and directly enter the highest Great Luo Heaven. This old Daoist is just a little surprised!"

"You flatter me, Dao Ancestor. This humble Daoist did not ascend normally, but was drawn into a void black hole by the Eye of Heaven and brought here by breaking through space!"

Although Zhang Xiaoshan didn't know how much Laozi could foresee about him, he figured it was best to tell him everything except the Giant Bell Space.

After all, the current situation is clearly in his favor.

If you hide too much, you might miss this opportunity.

"Pure Yang Dao Foundation - Nine Provinces Cauldron?"

At the same time, a large cauldron suddenly appeared out of thin air on Zhang Xiaoshan's auspicious cloud.

The Pure Yang Cauldron, which condenses the essence of ancient divine iron and Geng metal, combined with the Nine Provinces Cauldron, exudes an aura that is in no way inferior to that of ordinary spiritual treasures.

Especially its compatibility with Zhang Xiaoshan, a perfect match of divine weapon and divine weapon.

One is the foundation of the Dao, and the other is the natal magical artifact. Even Laozi couldn't help but show a look of curiosity.

"What a wonderful magic weapon, what a fine foundation for the Dao!"

The Pure Yang Cauldron has immense potential for advancement, while the Pure Yang Dao Foundation possesses limitless potential and may even be upgraded to the most top-tier spiritual treasure in the future.

No wonder the Pure Yang Origin chose its own master. Zhang Xiaoshan's potential was in no way inferior to those innate gods and demons, even in the ancient primordial era, let alone in this Three Realms where great powers are hidden and demons roam freely.

"Young friend, you have an affinity with Taoism. You are able to cultivate the One Qi Transformation into the Three Pure Ones, and you also have an affinity with this old Taoist."

"Young friend, would you be willing to become my disciple, a direct descendant of the Taiqing lineage?"

Chapter 1009 Becoming a Disciple of the Supreme Master

"Chunyangzi greets Master!"

A direct descendant of the Taiqing lineage?

Zhang Xiaoshan even wondered if he was having visual and auditory hallucinations, but then he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, performing the disciple's rites.

Who is Laozi (太上老君)?

Even the Four Celestial Masters, who held a revered position in the Heavenly Realm, were merely nominal disciples.

As a direct disciple of Laozi, Zhang Xiaoshan's very status alone makes him a prince of the Three Realms, not to mention the other benefits he enjoys.

"My disciple, rise!"

Seeing this, Laozi smiled and nodded, then swept away the dust and lifted Zhang Xiaoshan up.

Putting aside Zhang Xiaoshan's aptitude, his ability to shatter the void and master multiple supernatural powers demonstrates that his comprehension is absolutely top-notch.

As for qualifications?

The body sculpted from pure Yang essence is no less than the divine bodies of the Four Great Divine Lords, and its achievements are beyond imagination.

In every aspect, "903" is extremely outstanding, which is why Laozi accepted Zhang Xiaoshan as his direct disciple rather than a nominal disciple.

"Once you become my disciple, this old Taoist will impart to you the great Dharma."

Looking down at Zhang Xiaoshan, who was bowing respectfully with his ears drooping, Laozi casually pointed, and the primordial spirit cloud that had receded reappeared, with its three incarnations bowing in salute.

"Your path does not lie in refinement, but in the transformation of one breath into three pure ones."

"You, young man, have transformed into a swordsman, and have even condensed innate killing intent to forge a formidable and deadly sword. Let this old Daoist refine it further, adding some spiritual materials from the Three Realms to enhance its power!"

"Disciple Sword Master, thank you very much, Master!"

Zhang Xiaoshan had no doubt about Laozi's weapon-forging skills.

For example, the Nine-Toothed Rake, the Ruyi Divine Needle Iron, and the Great Yu's Mountain-Splitting Axe... these are all famous treasures in the Three Realms.

Even though the ancestral sword's sharpness can kill any being among the five elements and even tear space apart, this world is not the Divine Land, so who knows how much of its power it can unleash.

Therefore, Laozi's reforging of the Ancestral Sword is an extremely rare opportunity for the young Sword Master.

"Your youth has transformed into a physical body for cultivation, and your physique is close to that of the ancient witch clan, making you suitable for cultivating the Taoist protective divine art—the Nine Revolutions Profound Art and the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers of Taoism."

"Disciple Chonglou thanks Master."

Zhang Xiaoshan named his youth avatar after the demon lord Chonglou.

The young man's physique is similar to that of a god or demon from the world of Shenzhou, and his future cultivation will mainly focus on the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, so the name Demon Lord Chonglou is most fitting.

After all, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is a divine skill protecting the Daoist sect, unparalleled in the Three Realms in terms of physical cultivation, and can lead to physical sainthood.

"Your middle-aged incarnation is most in harmony with the Dao of Taiqing. Since the Taiqing Divine Talisman is destined for you, I will grant you the ability to comprehend the Great Dao of Yin and Yang."

"Disciple Wuji thanks Master for bestowing this treasure!"

The Primordial Chaos Supreme Purity Divine Talisman is a true innate spiritual treasure, and a superior one at that. I never expected that Laozi would bestow it upon my middle-aged incarnation for comprehension.

Even Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't help but feel moved, for at least Laozi had truly shown him immense kindness.

Nine Revolutions Profound Technique! Supreme Purity Divine Talisman!

These two things alone are enough for him to stand firm in the Three Realms.

Immediately, Laozi looked at his true form.

Zhang Xiaoshan's true form is the Pure Yang Divine Body, and the Pure Yang Origin was originally supposed to be reincarnated as the Eastern Emperor, a disciple of Laozi, and continued into the Pure Yang Sword Immortal Lü Dongbin.

At this moment, the Pure Yang Origin reshaped Zhang Xiaoshan's immortal body, making his talent comparable to that of an ancient prodigy.

"You originally ascended to the Heavenly Realm and shaped your body in the Immortal Pool. Even with your excellent aptitude, you are still just one of the masses."

However, you resonate with a wisp of pure Yang essence that I collected back then. This wisp of pure Yang essence was left behind by the fallen Dongwanggong, the first male immortal of ancient times, and was destined to be reincarnated as my disciple.

Your appearance, altering the workings of Heaven and changing destiny, is also predetermined!

With a flick of his sleeve, three crimson lights flashed, revealing a round magic weapon in the shape of a flame, an ancient and dignified sword, and a red gourd shimmering with light—three spiritual treasures appeared before Zhang Xiaoshan.

Even Zhang Xiaoshan was shaken as he looked at the magical treasure before him.

I never expected that Laozi would be so generous in his actions.

The golden wheel, merely in the form of flames, blazed with intense fire, far surpassing the Southern Ming Fire Seal in power.

"This golden wheel is the sun wheel among the sun and moon essence wheels, a supreme innate spiritual treasure, which I now bestow upon you for protection."

The sword is named Chunyang, and it is also an innate spiritual treasure. Although it is not as powerful as the Sun Golden Wheel, the sword belongs to the pure yang element and is originally connected with that wisp of pure yang origin, which is the treasure for proving the Dao. Today, I bestow it upon you for self-defense.

As for this red gourd? It contains a hundred Nine-Turn Golden Pills; consuming them can rapidly enhance one's profound cultivation...

"Disciple, thank you Master!"

The Sun Wheel and the Pure Yang Sword are innate spiritual treasures; even the top gods in the Three Realms may not all possess one.

Moreover, the Sun Golden Wheel is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, an absolutely sought-after item.

In addition, the value of hundreds of Nine-Turn Golden Pills is no less than the harvest of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

This is the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir; a single elixir can enable a mortal to ascend to immortality.

Moreover, this golden elixir is used to assist in cultivating the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, instantly making up for the shortcomings of the immortal technique that originally consumed the most spiritual energy.

···

"The true and wondrous secret of the perfect integration of exoteric and esoteric teachings lies solely in cultivating one's nature and life force. It all comes down to essence, energy, and spirit; carefully guard and firmly store them, never letting them leak out. Never let them leak out; keep them within your body. If you receive my transmission of the Way, you will prosper..."

When a sage transmits the Dharma, golden lotuses spring forth from the earth—this is the greatest opportunity in the cultivation world.

At this moment, Laozi was preaching in the Great Luo Heaven, and the green ox and the boy in the Tushita Palace immediately listened attentively.

After all, if one is not a disciple of a sage, how could one have such an opportunity to hear the sage preach?

Thanks to Zhang Xiaoshan's blessing, they were able to hear the sage preach, so they naturally wouldn't waste this opportunity.

Zhang Xiaoshan, realizing the true meaning of Taoism spoken by Laozi, quickly performed meritorious deeds to maximize this opportunity.

At this point, all his merits might only be enough to deduce one level of the cultivation technique.

If you seize the opportunity to hear the teachings of a sage now, you may reap unexpected rewards.

"Sacrifice billions of merits to deduce the Pure Yang Immortal Technique 2.0!!"

As a bell rang from the ancient void, Zhang Xiaoshan's consciousness immediately entered the giant bell space.

Gazing at the vast array of pagodas that suddenly lit up within the giant bell's space, a massive amount of Heavenly Dao divine patterns surged into his sea of ​​consciousness. Combined with the profound and mysterious artistic conception of the Supreme Lord Laozi's teachings on the Great Celestial Immortal Technique and the Taiqing Dao Method, Zhang Xiaoshan instantly entered the deepest state of enlightenment.

Even though Laozi noticed Zhang Xiaoshan's unusual behavior, he was surprised but did not interrupt Zhang Xiaoshan's state of enlightenment.

At this moment, within Zhang Xiaoshan's sea of ​​consciousness, the Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns, combined with the true meaning of Laozi's teachings, further developed the original four chapters of the Pure Yang Immortal Technique, adding the Heavenly Immortal Chapter and the Taiyi Chapter.

The original four chapters of Pure Yang were eventually summarized into the Golden Elixir chapter, which focused on cultivating the ancient Golden Elixir Dao.

Chapter 110 Nine Revolutions of the Taiyi Five Qi Profound Technique

Cultivation knows no time, and the cycle of heaven and earth continues.

Within the Great Luo Heaven, the teachings of Laozi (Taishang Laojun) came to an end.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan's state of enlightenment remained unchanged for a thousand years, and the golden lotus formed from the rolling primordial energy continuously flowed into Zhang Xiaoshan's body.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan's cultivation level soared in a short period of time.

Originally at the True Immortal realm, over a thousand years, he has already reached the Taiyi realm, a realm that many immortals dare not even dream of.

Golden Core, Celestial Immortal, Taiyi, and Daluo are the four most important stages of Heavenly Dao cultivation.

The Golden Elixir Path is divided into four stages: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao.

Celestial Immortals are the true fruits of the Immortal Path. In the human world, they are Earth Immortals (Random Immortals). They ascend to become Celestial Immortals by reshaping their bodies, or their primordial spirits return to their true nature to become True Immortals, or they attain the profound mystery of the Mysterious Immortal.

There are countless immortal cultivators in the celestial realm, and 99.99% of them are stuck at the Celestial Immortal stage.

The Taoist Taiyi condenses the five elements.

Taiyi cultivators are the backbone of the celestial realm. Famous celestial generals such as Erlang Shen, Nezha, and Wang Lingguan all hover at this level, accumulating their foundation before breaking through to the Daluo realm.

The five elements condensed by Taiyi are not simple five elements, but the innate five elements.

Based on this, one can forge a celestial body and Dao foundation that transcends the Five Elements.

If one possesses the five elements of Water, Fire, Wood, Earth, Metal, etc., and enters the Three Flowers stage, one will be among the Golden Immortals.

As for Ronaldo 19?

The Great Luo is the foundation of the Heavenly Dao, transcending the river of time and outside of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. It is a truly immortal being that transcends countless eons.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan spent billions of merits and finally relied on the teachings of a sage to barely manage to deduce the Taiyi chapter of the Pure Yang Daoist Manual.

This is already an incredible leap forward.

It should be noted that most celestial cultivators only possess a single copy of the Great Grade Celestial Immortal Manual.

Although this is considered a superior cultivation method in the Three Realms.

However, compared to the immortal techniques of the major sects, they are no different from garbage and are not worth considering at all.

Otherwise, with so many cultivators in the Heavenly Realm, even if you were to choose the best among the worst, there wouldn't be so few experts, and they would all be mainly disciples of the three religions.

The Pure Yang Dao Technique is, to a certain extent, no less powerful than the Taiqing Immortal Technique, and is the most suitable for Zhang Xiaoshan's cultivation.

During the sage's sermon, Zhang Xiaoshan reached the realm of Taiyi.

Now, all that remains is to condense the five elements before one can reach the perfect Golden Immortal realm of Taiyi.

As for the fundamental Qi of the Five Elements, Zhang Xiaoshan has a pure Yang constitution, so he needs the fundamental Qi of Qian Yang elements—Jia wood, Geng metal, Ren water, Wu earth, and Bing fire—in order to achieve the perfection of the Five Elements.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan is a disciple of the Dao Ancestor, and he has forged an immortal body and Dao foundation, so it is impossible for him to use ordinary innate five elements.
