Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

The seven individuals were all different in appearance and their cultivation levels were not weak, with the lowest being the early stage of Taiyi.

Huanglong's gaze fell on the figure closest to the image of the Tongtian Saint. His eyes were like blood-red jade, with a restrained red light. Most notably, he had a pair of long ears that hung down his shoulders like layers of silk.

The seven men stood beside the image of the sage, their faces filled with arrogance. Their gazes were relatively calm when sweeping over Duobao and the others, but when they swept over the thousands of disciples of the Jie Sect behind them, they were full of arrogance and disdain.

Huang Long's heart skipped a beat. Among the seven immortals attending him, was this one with long ears that reached his shoulders the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal?

"Junior Brother Huanglong, let's go." Duobao's voice rang in my ears.

Huanglong looked up and saw that Duobao had already ridden a lucky cloud and was flying towards the image of the sage.

Zhao Gongming and the others followed on their clouds.

He took a deep breath, mounted his white cloud, and followed Duobao forward.

As he passed by the disciples of the Jie Sect, most of them, who had traded Enlightenment Tea and other cultivation resources with him, greeted him, and Huang Long nodded in return.

The group passed through a group of disciples of the Jie Sect and arrived in front of the hundred-foot-tall Dharma image of the Sage Tongtian. This was the area where the laws and Daoist aura were most concentrated.

Golden flowers, formed from pure innate spiritual energy, drifted down from the void. The Daoist charm emanating from each golden flower as it bloomed was enough to save a Golden Immortal a hundred years of arduous cultivation.

The sword light cast by the phantom of the sword lotus made the laws of the universe clearer and easier to comprehend.

Golden flowers scattered across the void, coalescing into efficacious prayer cushions before the image of the sage.

Duobao led everyone to sit down on the corresponding prayer mats according to their own senses.

At the very front, next to Duobao, there was a futon in the air. Huanglong sensed a faint connection with it, which was obviously prepared for him by Tongtian.

Huanglong did not hesitate and went straight to the futon. He bowed to the image of the saint who had reached the heavens before sitting cross-legged on it.

After they were seated, thousands of disciples of the Jie Sect took their seats in the void behind them.

Beyond the disciples of the Jie Sect, in the vast expanse of the sea and sky, spanning millions of miles, countless figures were densely gathered!

The pure light of the innate beings shone brightly. There were demons riding on demonic clouds, aquatic creatures floating on the sea, and plant spirits perched on leaves... They were all different in form and cultivation level, but at this moment all the beings were filled with excitement and looked at the image of the saint with burning eyes.

"The sage is boundless!"

"May the leader have mercy!"

"The Intercepting Sect will last forever!"

Excited shouts rose and fell.

If it weren't for the saint's aura naturally cleansing one's mind, there would probably have been a deafening commotion by now.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

The three tolling of the bell resounded among all spirits and cleansed the universe.

All the noise stopped abruptly.

Countless living beings remained calm and focused.

The Dharma image of the Tongtian Sect Leader slowly opened his eyes.

At first glance, those eyes merely imprinted all living beings within them, but upon closer inspection, one could discern the rotation of the sun and moon, the birth and death of galaxies, and the creation of heaven and earth deep within the pupils.

As far as the eye could see, the golden flowers in the void bloomed and withered at an accelerated pace, and the Daoist aura became increasingly intense.

He simply raised his right hand and lightly tapped the air.

"Pop!"

A wisp of blue light bloomed at his fingertip, then spread outwards, transforming into ripples of blue light that emanated from him in all directions.

The space around the ripples undergoes subtle changes.

Huang Long sensed that time seemed to have slowed down in the area where he was located.

"No, it's not slowing down!" Huanglong sensed carefully and found that the laws of the Great Dao around him had become clearer.

The originally ethereal laws of heaven and earth are now like combed silk threads, clearly visible one by one, and one can even hear the faint sounds of the Great Dao emanating from their vibrations.

The methods of a sage reveal the Great Dao in a single thought!

After doing all this, the Tongtian Sect Leader finally spoke.

The sound did not come from the mouth, but resounded directly in the depths of the primordial spirit of each listener.

The voice was grand, clear, and all-encompassing.

"Today's sermon is open to all who are destined to hear it."

"The Way cannot be spoken of, for to speak of it is to deny its truth. Yet if it is not spoken of, how will sentient beings know it? Now I will forcefully speak of it, so listen carefully..."

Huanglong shuddered. Every word uttered by the Tongtian Sect Master was like a heavy hammer, striking deep into his primordial spirit, making him more in sync with the surrounding laws of the Great Dao.

Bao, standing to the side, closed his eyes and concentrated, his body radiating Daoist energy, and his forehead shimmering with spiritual light, already deep in enlightenment.

The Master of Heaven began by explaining the basics of life, starting with the very first breaths of living beings.

"Breathing is the breath of heaven and earth. Each inhale and exhale subtly corresponds to the cycle of yin and yang. Ordinary living beings breathe only to survive; those who cultivate the Tao use their breath to draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, cleansing their physical bodies, nourishing their spirits, and refining their primordial spirit..."

He explained it in great detail.

From how to sense spiritual energy to how to guide it into the body.

Then, it breaks down each step of how to circulate the Qi through the body, and even demonstrates three different breathing methods: one gentle and long, suitable for the spirits of plants and trees; one violent and fierce, suitable for powerful beasts; and one ethereal and distant, suitable for innate beings.

Although Huanglong had long since passed this stage, he still felt he gained a lot from listening to the sage's explanation of the basic methods.

Each time he listened to the sage preach, he gained different insights, which helped him fill in any gaps in his knowledge and gave him a more solid understanding of the foundation of the Great Way of cultivation.

Time passed during the sermon.

"True immortals distinguish truth from falsehood, understand their own minds and nature, and thus attain the foundation for longevity..."

"Celestial beings roam the vast emptiness, perceive celestial phenomena, and soar through the sky with their pure spirit..."

"The Mysterious Immortal is the most mysterious of all, the gateway to all wonders, touching the edge of the laws..."

"The Golden Immortal possesses the indestructible nature of gold, enduring through countless eons, and has just achieved the initial stage of the Dao..."

While preaching, the Tongtian Sect Leader demonstrated the subtleties of cultivation using his saintly powers.

When talking about True Immortals, a point of spiritual light shoots out from between their eyebrows, revealing the distinction between the "true self" and the "false self"; when talking about Celestial Immortals, the stars of the heavens appear above their heads, depicting the trajectories of the stars; when talking about Mysterious Immortals, the phantoms of the Three Thousand Great Daos appear around their bodies, like swirling clouds and mist; when talking about Golden Immortals, an immortal golden wheel appears behind their heads, its golden light illuminating all directions.

Every unusual phenomenon is a direct manifestation of the Great Dao!

This was clearly addressed to the disciples of the Jie Sect with low cultivation levels and to the beings who came to listen to the teachings.

For Huanglong, he was not immersed in Tongtian's preaching.

However, it is rare for a sage to preach, especially one that directly addresses the core of each realm. Huanglong used many spiritual materials to refine a top-grade spiritual treasure-level recording bead, which was perfect for recording the sage's preaching.
