Primordial Era: Cultivation level equals the sum of the Jie Sect's total; the Three Pure Ones a

Bixiao suppressed her doubts, took light steps, and walked closer.

"Junior Brother Xuandu."

Bixiao spoke, her voice as clear and melodious as a spring striking a stone.

"Why haven't you settled down at your residence to consolidate your cultivation? What brings you here to find my elder brother?"

Upon hearing the sound, Xuandu snapped out of his reverie.

Upon seeing that it was Bixiao, he immediately bowed respectfully, his attitude neither humble nor arrogant.

"Xuandu greets Senior Sister Bixiao."

He explained calmly:

"Junior brother has just entered the Jie Sect and is deeply grateful to our master for accepting him as a disciple."

"However, Senior Brother Dingguang was busy with his affairs and only showed me the place to stay. He did not teach me the basic Qi cultivation methods or the rules and regulations."

"Junior brother is grateful for Master's kindness and does not want to waste his time. However, he is also afraid that if he tries to figure things out on his own, he will go astray and break the rules of the Jie Sect."

"I have heard that Senior Brother Zhao Gongming is a generous and helpful person, so I have taken the liberty of coming here to ask him for guidance on the basics of cultivation, to learn the method of inducing qi, and to familiarize myself with the rules of the sect."

His words were reasonable and justified.

He pointed out the dereliction of duty by Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, expressed his eagerness to pursue the Dao, and praised Zhao Gongming.

After listening, Bixiao nodded in understanding.

It turns out that it was that scoundrel Chang Er Ding Guang Xian who was being negligent.

She had never liked Chang Er Ding Guangxian's obsequious and arrogant nature, but upon hearing this, she felt a little more sympathy for Xuan Du.

Looking at Xuan Du again, although he had just entered the Heavenly Immortal realm, his aura was solid, his eyes were clear and firm, and he showed no signs of impetuosity.

The doubts in my heart caused by his rapid breakthrough also dissipated considerably.

Perhaps it truly is a case of accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing its full potential.

"I see."

Bi Xiao's expression softened, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

"The Long-Eared Immortal is indeed... Hmph, let's not mention him."

"It is good that you are inclined to the great path and are diligent in your studies."

"My elder brother should be cultivating in his cave today. Let me take you in."

Her opinion of Xuandu improved considerably.

A disciple who knows how to work hard and seek the right path is always worthy of encouragement.

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister!"

Xuan Du thanked him again, feeling reassured.

With Bixiao's introduction, meeting Zhao Gongming should go much more smoothly.

Bixiao said no more, and with a flick of her wrist, she cast a spell.

The protective light barrier in front of Luofu Cave rippled, silently opening a portal.

"Come with me."

Bixiao stepped in first.

Xuan Du followed closely behind.

The moment you step into the cave, an even purer spiritual energy of heaven and earth rushes towards you, containing a sharp and fierce Daoist charm.

The cave dwelling is a hidden paradise.

The space is far more expansive than it appears from the outside.

Pavilions, towers, bridges, flowing water, and exotic flowers and plants adorn the area, creating a unique little world.

In the distance, a high platform can be vaguely seen, on which a figure seems to be sitting cross-legged, surrounded by an aura of wind and thunder.

"Big brother!"

Bixiao called out loudly, her voice echoing within the cave.

Upon hearing the sound, the figure on the high platform slowly concealed their aura.

He stood up and took a step, arriving in front of the two of them in an instant.

With a burly build, a bold face, and a golden whip hanging at his waist, who else could it be but Zhao Gongming?

"Little sister, what brings you here?"

Zhao Gongming's voice boomed like a bell as he smiled at Bixiao, then his gaze fell on Xuandu, and he paused slightly in surprise.

"Huh? Junior Brother Xuandu?"

He clearly recognized Xuan Du as well.

He was deeply impressed by this new junior disciple who had earned the special attention of both the Sage of Taiqing and his master.

He never expected that the other party would appear in his cave.

And... this cultivation level?

A celestial being?

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Gongming's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Being favored by a sage suggests that one has some special qualities, which is normal.

"Big brother."

Bixiao, quick-witted and outspoken, briefly explained Xuandu's purpose for coming, not forgetting to purse her lips at the end.

"That guy Dingguangxian must have deliberately neglected Junior Brother Xuandu because he was new to the area and of human origin, and didn't even teach him any cultivation techniques."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.

"Hmph! Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, you're really getting worse with age!"

He was straightforward and forthright, and he couldn't stand such bullying and cowardly behavior.

Moreover, since Xuandu has already joined the Jie Sect, they are now fellow disciples.

Such harsh treatment of fellow disciples is not the behavior of a person who cultivates the Tao.

He looked at Xuandu, his gaze softening considerably:

"Junior Brother Xuandu, there's no need to worry."

"Having joined the Jie Sect, we are all brothers. Why should we seek out some basic teachings?"

"I'll send it to you!"

Zhao Gongming waved his hand generously, showing great enthusiasm.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Gongming!"

Xuan Du was secretly delighted and quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

We definitely found the right person!

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily, indicating to Xuandu that there was no need for such formalities.

With a light tap of his finger, Zhao Gongming released a hazy ball of light from his fingertip, which floated in the air and exuded a profound Daoist aura.

"This is the fundamental method of our Jie Sect, the Shangqing Gongfa."

Zhao Gongming's voice was booming, carrying a hint of pride.

"It is personally taught by our master, and the teaching is inclusive; all disciples of our Jie Sect can cultivate it."

"This method points directly to the Great Way."

Xuan Du stared intently at the ball of light.

Within it, countless tiny runes seemed to rise and fall, their Daoist patterns flowing, expounding the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

He took a deep breath, stretched out his right hand, and slowly touched the ball of light.

The fleeting moment when fingertips touch.

"Buzz!"

The ball of light transformed into countless tiny specks of light, instantly disappearing into his brow.

A massive torrent of information surged into his consciousness.

The operational path of the Shangqing Gongfa is crystal clear.

Xuandu felt a sudden boom in his mind.

It was as if a door to a new world had been opened.

Numerous insights into the circulation of spiritual energy and the application of Dao principles naturally emerged.

The vast magical power that had been surging within him, though somewhat chaotic and complex, seemed to have instantly found an outlet and a command center.

"I see......"

Xuan Du closed his eyes, his mind completely immersed in understanding and digesting the cultivation technique.

The Shangqing Gongfa truly lives up to its reputation as a sacred method passed down by the Tongtian Sect Master.

Its core essence lies in the word "cut off"!

Extract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and make it your own!

Seize the fundamental principles of the Great Dao, and gain enlightenment for yourself!

Seize the glimmer of hope, transcend all things!

The cultivation technique's circulation path was mysterious and highly efficient, far surpassing the ordinary stuff he had seen in novels in his previous life.

More importantly, the spirit of enterprise and the will to challenge the heavens that it embodies deeply resonates with his current state of mind.

The immense magical power within him, at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, began to circulate under the guidance of the Shangqing Technique.

At first, it was a bit slow and difficult.

After all, this power was not something he had painstakingly cultivated step by step, and he still lacked the necessary skill in controlling it.

But only for a short while.

With the profoundness of the technique itself and the assistance of his vast divine sense, the flow of magical power quickly became smooth and seamless, as if it were his own arm.

Rumble!

The magical power flowed through his meridians, emitting a deep, booming sound like the roar of a river.

Its acupoints opened spontaneously, greedily absorbing the pure innate spiritual energy within Luofu Cave, further refining and purifying its own magical power.

A mysterious and profound aura naturally emanated from Xuan Du.

Although the outward appearance still reveals the Celestial Immortal realm, the inner refinement and profundity have undergone earth-shattering changes.

His control over his own power was improving at an astonishing rate.

Previously, he possessed vast magical power, yet he was like a child wielding a divine weapon, able to unleash only 30-40% of his full strength.

Now, under the guidance and organization of the Shangqing Gongfa, the skill and precision in the application of power have been improved by more than several times.

He even had a feeling that if he were to use that mental movement technique that allowed him to traverse space again now, it would be even easier, more comfortable, less energy-consuming, and allow him to travel a greater distance.

If used for an attack, the same amount of mana output could be several times more powerful!

This is the power of the technique.

Zhao Gongming and Bixiao stood aside, watching quietly.

Xuan Du's aura became solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The initial sense of ethereal emptiness upon entering the Celestial Realm quickly vanished, replaced by a grounded and steady composure.

There was even a faint, unsettling sharpness that flashed in the depths of their eyes.

"this......"

Upon seeing this, Bixiao's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.
