Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Upon hearing this, Dao Zun looked at Lingbao Tianzun and immediately revealed a special expression, clearly indicating that he also had unusual feelings.

"Who is this?"

Dao Zun's eyes narrowed slightly, and an extremely strange feeling instantly rose in his heart.

The person in front of him was someone he was meeting for the first time, a complete stranger, yet he felt an immediate sense of closeness upon seeing him.

This inexplicable feeling was both familiar and strange. It was familiar because he had experienced it before through Yuanshi Tianzun.

It felt strange because, over the years, apart from Yuanshi Tianzun, he had never experienced this feeling with any other person.

And today, I finally saw him again.

Dao Zun thought to himself, "This feeling... it's finally reappeared? What's going on?"

Dao Zun couldn't understand the reason. He couldn't find out. Even though he had left the Origin Realm and experienced many worlds, he had never discovered such a thing.

No one else has ever felt this way with him, and no one else has experienced this with each other.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao spoke up at the opportune moment.

"Fellow Daoist, this is Lingbao Tianzun, one of the top experts in our Origin Realm today."

Upon hearing this, the Daoist Master instantly understood, and a friendly smile appeared on his face as he proactively cupped his hands in greeting.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lingbao."

For some reason, the Daoist felt even stronger after hearing the other party's name, he thought to himself.

"Another peerless figure, just like Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, about to embark on the path to immortality in the mortal world. Truly astonishing."

Lingbao Tianzun immediately returned the greeting.

"Fellow Daoist, there's no need for such formalities. I've long heard of your reputation, and seeing you today, I can confirm that it's well-deserved."

Lingbao Tianzun praised Daozun, saying that the other party was indeed the strongest in the mythological era and was truly powerful, having already completed the mortal immortal path.

With Jiang Hao's help and the frequent discussions and exchanges among themselves, he and Yuanshi Tianzun reached the eighth generation, while Daozun alone reached the ninth generation.

Although the two of them hadn't been able to cultivate for most of the time due to some issues, Dao Zun was figuring it out on his own. Even someone as proud as Lingbao Tianzun wouldn't dare say he could succeed on his own.

After the two greeted each other, Lingbao Tianzun looked sincerely at Daozun and slowly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist, the moment you appeared, I felt a very special sensation in my heart. I think you must have felt it too, right?"

Lingbao Tianzun didn't hesitate and spoke directly, which was his personality—direct and straightforward.

Upon hearing this, the Daoist Master nodded solemnly.

"That's right, I feel the same way. I feel an inexplicable sense of closeness and familiarity with you, Fellow Daoist. I've only ever experienced this kind of resonance with Fellow Daoist Yuanshi in all this time. I never expected it to reappear in you today. It's truly amazing."

Then the two looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, and the three of them exuded a special aura at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun slowly stepped forward, looking at the two with profound eyes and sighing softly.

"I also sensed it from you all. Today, with the return of Daoist Master, the special resonance among the three of us has emerged together. This is no coincidence."

Upon hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun frowned slightly, pondered seriously, and then voiced his guess.

"Perhaps it is because the three of us are on the same path of cultivation."

So, is there some kind of unseen bond that transcends time?

They have an origin, a present, and a future; they are all uniquely related.

The Daoist Master slowly shook his head, his tone calm and steady.

"It's not just that the Great Dao is special. Ordinary people who share the same Dao will only feel a sense of harmony with each other, but they will never feel this special intimacy."

"That's true."

The three of them exchanged ideas and pondered the mystery of the matter.

Everyone had a vague feeling that there must be a deep and unknown connection between the three of them.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find the reason. They couldn't find anything special about themselves that could connect them in this way.

A special light flashed in Jiang Hao's eyes as he listened quietly to the conversation. He looked at the three Dao Venerables with curiosity and anticipation.

He sighed inwardly.

"The Three Pure Ones, are they finally all here...?"

He couldn't be completely sure if the other party was related to the Three Pure Ones, but based on his observations of the three people, they really did resemble each other, and the resemblance was growing stronger.

After all, these three people's path, performance, and titles are really very similar to those three.

Today, the three of them finally reunited, and this special resonance burst forth, further confirming his inner suspicions.

Jiang Hao's curiosity grew even stronger.

These three unique individuals have gathered together. What changes will occur when these three are together?

He felt there should be some connection. If the other party was indeed related to the Three Pure Ones, then it must be extraordinary, since the Three Pure Ones are the most classic trio.

"So what amazing changes will occur?"

Jiang Hao was very excited and curious.

Just then, Lingbao Tianzun's eyes lit up, and he smiled with delight as he made a suggestion.

"Since that's the case, why don't we have a discussion on the spot? It's been a long time since we've had a quiet discussion on the Dao. Today, seeing Daoist Master and fellow Daoist return, some inspiration suddenly welled up in my heart."

"Hmm? You're like that too?" Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes flickered slightly, his face showing a look of surprise mixed with a sense of having expected it.

"What a coincidence, I was just as inspired after meeting you two.

"Me too!" Dao Zun's nod caused the three of them to look at each other in bewilderment once again.

The three exchanged a glance, their hearts trembling. They were now completely certain that the special relationship between them was far more terrifying and closer than they had imagined.

Who would have thought that the three of them would have such a sudden burst of inspiration upon meeting?

Jiang Hao smiled inwardly as he watched this scene.

"Just as I expected, there was indeed a special reaction. It's becoming more and more like it. This top trio, once they come together, truly possesses incredible and mysterious changes."

He immediately responded with a smile.

"Since the three of you are in such high spirits, I will join you in discussing the Dao."

Jiang Hao loved discussing philosophy and such, as it allowed him to learn new things. No matter when, learning should never stop, and one should never fall behind.

Moreover, this is the first time the trio has gathered together, so they can't miss this opportunity.

The four of them took their seats one by one on the marble platform in the back garden, and the discussion began immediately.

In an instant, the wind rose and the Dao resounded throughout the Heavenly Court's back garden, and the deep and long Daoist sounds echoed between heaven and earth.

"In the beginning, there was no form; the Great Dao had no root; Yin and Yang evolved, and all things returned to their true nature..."

"The Great Dao is formless, yet it nurtures Heaven and Earth; its true nature is without origination, and all things return to enlightenment..."

Mysterious Dao patterns rose and fell in the void, flickering and undulating.

The golden light spread across the entire back garden sky, pressing down with the Taoist aura, and every verse of scripture resonated with the power of the Tao.

The rocks trembled and resonated, the flowers and grass bowed their heads to listen to the Dao, and the Dao's sound echoed deep within the earth's veins.

The spiritual energy gathered from all directions, transforming into layers of colorful rays that enveloped the Dao platform.

Ordinary cultivators merely exchange words and insights when discussing the Dao, but when top-tier experts discuss the Dao, the Dao of Heaven and Earth resonates with them.

Every word spoken resonates with the laws of heaven and earth; every insight gained touches upon the Great Dao.

The four of them discussed the Dao, instantly transforming the Heavenly Court's back garden into an incredibly sacred place, exuding a unique Daoist charm.

This is the true scene of the strong discussing the Dao; before people speak, heaven and earth speak of the Dao.

After discussing the Dao for a while, Jiang Hao was surprised by the inspiration of the three Dao Venerables.

Lingbao and Yuanshi, the two Heavenly Venerables, were his old Daoist friends, but this time they surprised him again. Their inspiration seemed to have broken through the usual limit. They said they had inspiration, and it was real, and not insignificant.

The two of them performed significantly better than before, and their ideas were very inspiring to Jiang Hao.

"Wow, this is cheating, isn't it!"

Jiang Hao was amazed when he saw this.

"Fellow Daoists, isn't this a bit too outrageous for the three of you? You haven't even done anything yet, just the three of you sitting together, and you've already had a burst of inspiration..."

This is a state of enlightenment; others may only experience it once or twice in their entire lives of arduous cultivation, and many may never experience it at all.

The event can be automatically triggered whenever the three Daoist masters gather together.

This is practically a permanent, invincible enlightenment buff; if the three of them were to constantly discuss the Dao together...

His speed of cultivation and depth of comprehension are simply unmatched.

"Cheater, pure cheater, someone's using cheats, I'm reporting them."

Now Jiang Hao personally witnessed the cheating described in the story, a pure, brute-force cheating that defied all logic.

Oh, I also have a Golden Bell medal. That's alright then.
