He looked at the Three Immortals of Sanxiao and saw their eyes filled with expectation; then he looked at Zhao Gongming, whose expression was also eager. Finally, his heart softened, and he nodded helplessly.

"Very well. Then I will accompany you all to the Three Immortal Islands to explore their mysteries together."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao all smiled.

"Alright! Senior Brother Chen Yu, let's set off immediately."

"The Three Immortals Island is where we cultivate ourselves, and it is also an excellent blessed land. Although it is quite far from Jin'ao Island, it is better to do it sooner rather than later."

Chen Yu nodded in agreement and said no more.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals immediately stepped forward to lead the way.

Chen Yu glanced at the four people's backs, sighed softly, and then followed them.

He has now fully comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao's laws, and in ordinary discussions of the Dao, only those with great supernatural powers are worthy of conversing with him.

However, the four were all fellow disciples and had a long-standing friendship with him. Now that they were so eager to help him, how could he refuse their hospitality?

The five left Jin'ao Island and headed straight for Sanxian Island.

On the vast East China Sea, Zhao Gongming took the lead, followed closely by Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Chen Yu, riding the wind and waves and soaring through the clouds.

Because Chen Yu was among them, the group did not use their escape lights to travel at high speed, but instead rode on auspicious clouds to advance slowly. Even so, their speed was still incredibly fast.

Along the way, Chen Yu looked down at the spectacular scenery of the East China Sea. Seeing the sea monsters churning and the strange phenomena, he couldn't help but smile slightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Gongming and the three Xiaos did not make a sound to disturb them, but silently continued on their way.

"Senior Brother Chen Yu, the Three Immortal Islands are just ahead."

Zhao Gongming turned his head to look at Chen Yu and said in a calm tone.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu gazed intently into the distance and saw three islands suddenly appearing ahead.

The island is shrouded in mist and clouds, with auspicious wisps of air and glimpses of spiritual light; exotic flowers and rare herbs cover the mountains and fields, and sacred springs flow gently through the landscape.

Rare birds often soar through the air, exotic beasts dart through the forest, and spirits transformed from plants frolic and leap among the branches and leaves, creating a vibrant scene.

"Truly a blessed land! The residences of my junior brothers and sisters are indeed pure and dust-free sacred places for cultivation."

Upon hearing this praise, Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals exchanged a smile, both with a hint of self-satisfaction in their eyes.

"Senior brother, you may not know this, but after years of management by my sisters, these Three Immortal Islands, though not comparable to our master's Zixiao Palace, are still considered among the most beautiful and spiritual places in the primordial world."

Bixiao chuckled and spoke, then stretched out her hand and said softly, "Senior brother, please come down with us first."

Chen Yu nodded in agreement.

The five people slowly descended from the clouds, their feet firmly planted on solid ground, and landed on the Three Immortal Islands.

Yunxiao led the way with slow steps, followed by Qiongxiao and Bixiao. Zhao Gongming walked alongside Chen Yu. The group walked along the path, with a gentle breeze on their faces and birdsong filling the air.

Before long, Sanxiao led everyone to a pavilion.

Chen Yu glanced around and his eyes lit up.

The pavilion's roof was covered with innate spiritual jade, its pillars stood with ten-thousand-year-old black gold, its stone table was carved from a single piece of coral, and its seats were made of condensed cold marrow and black ice, exuding a clear and refreshing spiritual aura.

"Wonderful! Such an elegant setting is perfect for discussing scriptures and doctrines."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chen Yu has keen insight." He then raised his hand and gently beckoned him to take a seat.

Chen Yu did not refuse, and seeing that the other four people had already taken their seats, he sat down as well.

Once everyone was seated, Yunxiao waved her hand, and a set of crystal-clear teaware appeared out of thin air.

"Senior Brother Chen Yu, this is a flower tea that the three of us made in our spare time by picking innate spiritual flowers. We have never given it to outsiders. It is an honor for us to have you here today. Please taste it and see how well my sister and I have made it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she moved her fingertips slightly, and a clear stream gushed out from the void—it was an innate spiritual spring, gurgling into the jade pot.

The teapot was suspended in mid-air, and an invisible flame quietly ignited beneath it, gently simmering the water inside.

In a short while, a delicate fragrance wafted through the air, neither like orchids nor like musk, refreshing and soothing to the soul.

"Wonderful! Using spiritual flowers as a catalyst, spiritual jade as a vessel, spiritual spring water as water, and true fire to brew it, this tea is far beyond what ordinary tea can compare to."

Chen Yu sighed softly, "Discussing the Dao over tea is truly the greatest joy for cultivators."

Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"What you say is very true, senior brother," Yunxiao replied with a smile. "There is wisdom in tea, and enlightenment arises from stillness. It is a perfect opportunity to attain enlightenment."

After saying that, she picked up the teapot and poured tea, first serving a cup to Chen Yu, and then handing it to Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao and Bixiao in turn.

"Please, senior brother, try this tea. Is it to your liking?"

Chen Yu stopped being polite, picked up the jade cup, and took a light sip.

Instantly, a refreshing fragrance filled my mouth, a sweet and soothing sensation entered my heart, and a warm feeling flowed through my meridians throughout my body, as if even my consciousness became clear.

"Excellent tea!" he exclaimed. "It has a fragrant aroma upon first sip, a long-lasting aftertaste, and is truly refreshing and invigorating."

After finishing his drink, he surprisingly spoke up: "If it's convenient, could you spare some for me when I leave? So I can take it back and savor it."

Upon hearing this, the three girls exchanged glances, their eyes filled with joy, and they agreed in unison.

"Why do you need to use the word 'bestow', Senior Brother?" Yunxiao said gently. "Even if you don't say it, we have already prepared a copy. We just need to wait until this discussion is over, and then you can take it with you as a souvenir."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu was overjoyed, a smile spreading across his face.

"In that case, I have been too polite. Thank you for your kindness, my three junior sisters."

The five of them savored the fragrant tea while chatting and laughing, their words always touching upon the fundamental principles of Tao, conveying a profound and meaningful sentiment.

After a moment, Chen Yu put down his teacup, looked around at the four people, and remained calm.

"Since we've gathered here to discuss these matters, why don't I begin by offering my humble opinion? After I've finished, I'll invite everyone to share their own insights, shall we?"

Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals all nodded in agreement and waited patiently.

Chen Yu nodded slightly, took another sip of flower tea to soothe his mind, and then slowly opened his lips:

"What is the Dao? And what is the Dao?"

"The Tao is formless and without appearance, yet it is everywhere. It is hidden in the dust and permeates the universe. The operation of heaven and earth, the birth and death of all things, all follow its trace."

"The Tao gives birth to all things, nurturing all beings; all things return to stillness, ultimately returning to their origin."

"A cup of tea holds profound secrets; sitting quietly and sipping tea is enlightenment; brewing tea by hand is also a way of understanding the Way; and the Way is in every action, whether walking, sitting, or lying down."

"The Tao is not far away; it pervades all of space. The Tao is not separated from the body; it exists in the breath."

"The movement of stars is the manifestation of the Dao, and the flourishing and withering of plants is the circulation of the Dao."

"The Tao can nurture all living beings, and it can also bring all things back to stillness."

"When the Great Dao first opened, all things began to emerge; when the Great Dao finally returned, all sounds ceased."

"From the One Dao, Yin and Yang are divided. Yin and Yang combine to give rise to the Three Powers, and the Three Powers evolve to create all things."

The Tao is like a wheel that turns endlessly, circulating everywhere without end.

"What is the Dao? The Dao is the law of heaven and earth. Those who follow it prosper, and those who go against it perish. Everything has its predetermined destiny, and all things follow its course."

Zhao Gongming and the three Xiao sisters sat quietly to the side, listening to Chen Yu's words, their brows furrowed with confusion.

This is because Chen Yu's words have reached a profound level; though the language is simple, the meaning is boundless, and ordinary Golden Immortals cannot comprehend them immediately.
