Primordial Era: Reborn as Zhen Yuanzi, taking control of the underground passage

Chapter 212 The Weather at Wuzhuang Temple

"I will humbly obey the teachings of my Master (Teacher)!"

All the disciples in the hall, whether personally instructed or registered, along with the Golden-Winged Roc, responded in unison, their voices resounding throughout the hall, and the aura of fortune seemed to gather around them!

Thus, the lineage of Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain, from top to bottom, has had its names and titles completely defined, its structure clear, and its fortune, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, has become more solid and profound, giving rise to a powerful centripetal force.

With its status established, Wuzhuang Temple seemed to be infused with an invisible cohesive force, and its fortune became increasingly prosperous and manifest. The mysterious yellow energy that enveloped the mountain gate was almost tangible, merging with the Longevity Dragon Vein and emitting bursts of pleasant humming.

Every disciple, whether personally instructed or registered, felt more at ease, clearly understanding their place in the lineage and their future path, and became more focused and dedicated in their practice.

In the backyard, under the four banana trees, remains the core area where the Taoist spirit is most intense.

The newly born Kong Xuan did not slack off in the slightest despite his extraordinary background.

He knew that his master, Zhen Yuanzi, was a master of the Five Elements Dao. Although he was born with the ability to control the Five-Colored Divine Light, he still needed to study diligently how to integrate it with his master's Five Elements Dao, which encompassed heaven and earth and evolved chaos.

He often sat quietly in the center of the Five Elements Flags Formation that had originally nurtured him. Although the formation had been dismantled, the remaining Five Elements Daoist charm was the most intense here.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, his body shimmering with five-colored light, which sometimes transformed into five incomparably sharp divine lights that swept into the void, practicing his killing techniques.

Sometimes the five elements return to their origin; the three flower phantoms condense above the head, attempting to comprehend the profound threshold of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

His diligence in cultivation and rapid progress impressed even his fellow disciples, the Emperor and Zhenwu, who both secretly nodded in approval.

On the other side, the Golden-Winged Roc appears even more agile and unrestrained.

He did not stay in one place to cultivate; sometimes he would manifest the true form of the Golden Roc, soaring high above his head.

It hovered above Wuzhuang Temple, its wings flapping as the yin and yang energies circulated. Its speed was so fast that it was almost instantaneous, which attracted the attention of the cranes, who looked on with envy.

Sometimes he would transform into human form and approach his master, the Yin-Yang Taoist, to inquire about the mysteries of Yin-Yang transformation.

The Yin-Yang Taoist also imparted all his knowledge to his first disciple, explaining in detail the profound principle of Taiji generating Yin and Yang.

He further imparted his own understanding of the laws of speed to him by incorporating it into the Yin-Yang Escape Technique.

The Golden-Winged Roc was like a fish in water, and its understanding of Yin and Yang combined with its own supernatural speed became increasingly exquisite.

On this day, Zhen Yuanzi saw that his disciples' cultivation was progressing well, especially the newly joined Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc, who had initially stabilized their realms. So he once again ascended the seat under the banana tree, preparing to expound the Great Dao.

Hongyun and the Yin-Yang Taoist were also smiling beside him.

Unlike previous sermons which only involved two eggs, this one was given after the status was established.

For the first time, Zhen Yuanzi systematically expounded the fundamental essence of his "Chuanjing of the Great Earth" to all the disciples of Wuzhuang Temple.

The clear, melodious sound of the bell echoed through the mountains.

All disciples, whether personally instructed or registered, quickly gathered in the backyard and sat down in order.

Zhenwu, the Emperor, and Kong Xuan were at the forefront, followed closely by the Golden-Winged Roc, then the Nine-Headed Lion, the Four Divine Beasts, and so on.

The disciples, including the Qilin and the Moyu Qilin, along with numerous beings at the Taiyi Realm, remained orderly and completely silent.

Zhen Yuanzi's gaze swept over the assembled disciples below, and he slowly spoke, his voice not loud, yet as powerful as the pulse of the earth, penetrating to the very soul: "The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, Three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, their interaction creating harmony—yet, what is the source of all things, none other than the earth?"

He did not begin by discussing profound supernatural powers, but instead started with the most fundamental concepts of "bearing" and "inclusiveness," explaining that the way of the earth is the cornerstone of the existence and evolution of all living things.

"Earth represents agriculture and harvest, and its virtue is to bear all things. Metal represents change and transformation, and its nature is to kill and gather."

Water flows downwards, nourishing all things. Wood bends its head, growing and reaching upwards.

Fire rises upwards, its light transforming. The five elements cycle, mutually generating and restraining each other; this is the constant way of the universe, and also the foundation of our Way.

'

He explained the essence of the Five Elements in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

He then combined his own understanding of how the five elements of the earth gave rise to chaos, and outlined for his disciples a grand path based on the five elements, encompassing all laws, and ultimately touching the origin of chaos.

When he preached, a faint phantom of a mysterious world floated behind him, in which earth, water, fire, and wind were re-established, and the five elements rotated endlessly, evolving into infinite mysteries.

Kong Xuan, who was the first to listen, was completely absorbed in the conversation, as he was naturally drawn to the Five Elements.

Hearing the master's systematic explanation, many previously vague points suddenly became clear, and the application of the Five-Colored Divine Light seemed to have gained a few more insights.

His body shone with five-colored light involuntarily, subtly resonating with the Daoist rhyme of Zhen Yuanzi's sermon.

The Emperor and Zhenwu also benefited greatly.

Their cultivation had reached the peak of the Great Luo realm. Although Zhen Yuanzi's teachings focused on the fundamentals, they contained profound truths of the Great Dao, which greatly benefited them in sorting out their own learning and clarifying their future direction in the fight against corpses.

The emperor's imperial dragon aura became even more condensed, as if it were about to transform into tangible chains of divine laws:

Zhenwu's aura grew increasingly profound, as if he were one with the earth beneath his feet, impervious to all magic.

Even the Golden-Winged Roc, who cultivated the Dao of Yin and Yang, restrained its wildness and listened attentively.

The Five Elements as described by Zhen Yuanzi inherently contain the changes of Yin and Yang, such as wood and fire being Yang, metal and water being Yin, and earth being the neutral element.

It also helps him to understand the flow and balance of Yin and Yang energies within himself.

A look of enlightenment would occasionally flash in his eyes, and the circulation of Yin and Yang energies within his body seemed to become more harmonious.

Hongyun and the Yin-Yang Taoist listened attentively, nodding slightly in response.

When they reach their level, listening to others preach is more about verifying what they have learned themselves.

Zhen Yuanzi's Dao of Chaos is profound and all-encompassing, and the philosophy it contains has been quite enlightening for them.

Hongyun's eyes held an even stronger sense of freedom, as if he had a new interpretation of "guarding the one and being carefree"; the Yin-Yang Taoist, on the other hand, had a more thorough understanding of the changes of Yin and Yang in the Five Elements.

Those disciples on the payroll and beings at the Taiyi Realm listened with great eagerness.

I felt that many of the difficulties I had encountered in my past cultivation had found answers or directions at this moment, and my cultivation was slowly but steadily improving without me even realizing it.

A sermon lasted for several months. When Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking his last words, the disciples were still immersed in the lingering resonance of the Great Dao, unwilling to awaken from it for a long time.

Zhen Yuanzi was pleased to see that his disciples had all made progress.

He knew that a powerful lineage not only needed top experts to oversee it, but also the inheritance and development by generations of outstanding disciples.

Now, the framework of Wuzhuang Temple has been established, the disciples have a firm belief in Taoism, great potential, and a promising future.

He gazed at the sky, thinking to himself, "Fellow Daoist Hongjun, your time to attain enlightenment is near, isn't it? My lineage of Longevity Mountain is ready for this new chapter in the primordial world."

.

After the sermon ended, the peaceful and orderly practice life returned to Wuzhuang Temple.

Beneath this calm lies a surging vitality and a determination to reach even greater heights.

Kong Xuan and the Golden-Winged Roc have also fully integrated into this big family, one being calm and proud, diligently cultivating without ceasing;

A lively and unrestrained individual, yet deeply respectful of teachers and the Way. The profound heritage of Longevity Mountain, accumulated day by day, grows ever more unfathomable.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, the newly born innate deities are stirring up the primordial winds and clouds in their respective realms, and a truly magnificent era is slowly drawing back its final curtain.
