The Three Teachings Converge into One: The Path of the Mortal and the Saintly is the Same

Poetry:

In a quiet room, by the bright lamp, I read the ancestral texts; the principles of governing the family and the state are deeply hidden within.

The legacy of ten thousand years remains, and the path of the three religions to return to the right one is still long.

It is said that Su Qingxuan established the Sanyi Palace after founding his own residence.

He preached and taught disciples at this place where the spiritual veins of the three religions converged.

Before we knew it, March had passed.

Although the Trinity Palace was newly established, it owed its existence to the name of the Sage Su Qingxuan.

The syncretism of the three religions, coupled with the covert support of the Confucian and Taoist deities,

It gradually gained fame in the celestial realm.

Many cultivators come seeking its reputation, or genuinely seeking the Dao.

Some watched out of curiosity, while others secretly spied on them.

This has gradually transformed the once tranquil Sancai Peak into a bustling place.

Su Qingxuan preached the Dharma in the Sanyi Hall during the day.

From the Confucian virtues of "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness" to the Daoist principle of "following the natural way,"

Furthermore, the Buddhist concept of "compassion" often elucidates the principle of the interconnectedness and harmony among the three teachings (Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism).

The disciples below listened with rapt attention.

Among these disciples were rogue cultivators who had ascended from the lower realms.

There were also cultivators from minor sects in the celestial realm who were not successful in their endeavors.

Furthermore, there were certain immortals among the three religions who were weary of sectarianism.

By the end of March, the number of disciples in the palace had increased to over eighty, though their cultivation levels varied.

But they are all people who sincerely yearn for the Great Way.

The affairs of the palace were managed by four fairies, each with their own duties.

Lin Wanqing was in charge of the Wenhua Pavilion, organizing classics and teaching Confucian subjects to her disciples;

Xiao Lingxi was stationed at Qingxu Pavilion, where he refined elixirs, taught skills, and imparted the orthodox teachings of Taoism.

Xiao Lingyue takes charge of the Prajna Pavilion, leading meditation and teaching the essentials of Buddhism;

Chi Ying was responsible for palace guards and disciples' physical training.

Military drills were conducted at the training ground.

Although the four fairies' memories of their past lives were not fully unlocked, as their cultivation deepened,

Those insights and experiences that have been dormant for millennia are gradually awakening.

He often made surprising remarks when instructing his disciples, which made Su Qingxuan secretly admire him.

In the past three months, Su Qingxuan's own cultivation has not lagged behind.

Every night, when all was quiet, he would sit alone in the quiet room of Guiyi Courtyard.

Study the ancestral copy of the Spring and Autumn Annals.

Since he ascended to the heavens and attained sainthood...

This mental cultivation method that had accompanied him for many years,

A strange change occurred that even he had not anticipated.

That night, the moonlight was like a ribbon, shining through the window of the quiet room.

The soft glow shines down on the jade-green floor tiles.

Su Qingxuan sat cross-legged on a futon, with the ancient silk book spread out in front of him.

The pages are yellowed, the texture is unlike the silk unique to the human world, and the ink is not the ink from Huizhou in later generations.

The handwriting is vigorous yet unrestrained.

All of them were written by our ancestors themselves.

However, at this moment, this cultivation method, which originally only had nine main chapters,

The pages thickened on their own, starting from the ninth chapter.

It revealed a series of "supplements" that he had never seen before.

These appendices were not added later, but were always hidden within the book.

Only when one's cultivation level reaches the corresponding level can the seal be broken and the manifestation revealed.

When Su Qingxuan first became a saint, he unsealed the tenth to twelfth chapters;

Having entered the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm, he obtained thirteen to fifteen more chapters;

He has now reached the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Chapters sixteen through eighteen also quietly appeared yesterday.

If others in the celestial realm knew of such a rapid pace of cultivation, they would surely be utterly astonished.

It takes ordinary immortals at least several hundred years of arduous cultivation to progress from human immortals to celestial immortals.

It is fraught with challenges and bottlenecks.

Su Qingxuan had only been an ascensionist for a little over three months.

He then broke through the Human Immortal and Earth Immortal realms in succession, directly entering the mid-stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Such speed, even in the history of the Thirty-Three Heavens,

It can be described as unprecedented in history.

But Su Qingxuan knew in his heart that this was not a fluke.

Firstly, he had already attained sainthood in the mortal realm, thus solidifying his foundation in Taoism.

Far beyond ordinary ascendants—

To become a saint in the mortal realm is equivalent to three thousand years of arduous cultivation in the celestial realm.

Secondly, he practices the syncretism of the three religions (Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism).

Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are practiced simultaneously and complement each other.

The progress made naturally far surpasses the cultivation of a single method;

Thirdly, the location of the Sanyi Palace is a place of creation where the roots of the three religions converge.

The concentration of spiritual energy is comparable to that of the core of an ancestral temple.

One day of practice here is equivalent to one hundred days elsewhere;

Fourthly... and most importantly—he inherited the legacy of his ancestors.

This ancestor of the Su clan, who disintegrated and sealed the Demon Lord 100,000 years ago,

What remains is more than just a mental cultivation manual.

It is also a smooth road leading directly to the main road.

The more Su Qingxuan cultivated, the more he felt the profoundness of his ancestor's realm.

His vision is so broad that it cannot be described by the word "sage".

At this moment, he is intently studying the sixteenth chapter, "Managing the Family."

This is not a cultivation method, but a grand discourse on the Great Dao.

The opening line states: "Cultivation is not only about improving oneself, but also about managing one's family."

The spirit of a family and the way of an individual are inherently interconnected.

Su Qingxuan read it carefully, and found that the text explained how to use one's own way...

They educated their relatives and formed the "Taoist Family".

Our ancestors believed that if a cultivator only cared about his own cultivation and neglected his family and relatives,

This means that the "human relationship" has been severed, and the foundation of the Way is incomplete.

However, if one can use the true meaning of the Great Dao that one comprehends on one's own...

It subtly influences family members, enabling everyone, young and old, to understand principles and follow the right path.

Then the family's fortune will be linked to the individual's cultivation level.

This has created a unique "family Taoist style".

"When the Daoist principles are perfected, the family will prosper and its children will be virtuous and talented."

When one person attains enlightenment, the benefits extend to the entire clan.

The whole clan follows the Tao, which can then benefit one person.

This cycle, endlessly regenerating, is the foundation of longevity and enduring vision.

Su Qingxuan was deeply moved when he read this.

He thought of his Su family in the mortal world, which, though not a prominent or wealthy clan,

But the parents were harmonious, and the father was kind and the son was filial.

My understanding of principles during my childhood was influenced by my family.

Later, as his cultivation deepened, he secretly nourished his parents' bodies with spiritual energy.

Influence their minds and character with the essence of Tao.

Looking back now, this unintentional act actually aligns with our ancestors' philosophy of "managing one's family."

"No wonder I rarely encounter bottlenecks on my cultivation path," Su Qingxuan thought with a hint of realization.

"Unbeknownst to me, I had already been nourished by the family's fortune."

Is this what our ancestors meant by "the whole clan turning to the Way, giving back to one person"?

He continued reading.

The text also details several methods for cultivating "family Daoist essence":

There is a "bloodline resonance technique".

It allows blood relatives to connect with each other and help each other in their spiritual practice;

There is a "family precepts condensed into Taoist principles" that can integrate family precepts into Taoist principles and pass them down from generation to generation;

There is a "Secret Formula for Nourishing Qi in Ancestral Halls," which allows one to gather family fortune through ancestral worship...

These methods are subtle and profound, but their core essence lies in only one point:

Treat your family members with sincerity, and cultivate a positive family atmosphere with the right principles.

Su Qingxuan closed his eyes to meditate, and felt a warm current rise from the bottom of his heart and flow throughout his body.

This warm current is neither spiritual energy nor Taoist charm.

It is a warmth of "home" that is difficult to describe.

Nourished by this warm current, his mid-stage Celestial Immortal realm stabilized by another three points.

My understanding of the Great Dao has deepened.

"I see..." Su Qingxuan opened his eyes, golden light swirling within them.

"Cultivation is not just about cultivating oneself, but also about cultivating one's connection with all things in this world."

Family, sect, fellow practitioners, all living beings...

The closer and more sincere these connections are, the more solid the foundation of the Way will be.

Our ancestors understood this principle 100,000 years ago.

He took a deep breath and continued reading the seventeenth chapter, "On Governing the Country."

This article is longer and more in-depth.

The opening line states: "Once you have mastered the art of managing your family, you should then think about governing the state."

The fate of a nation is also interconnected with the way of an individual.

In the text, the ancestors, from a broad perspective, expounded on how to govern a region according to the Great Way.

To align the nation's destiny with the will of Heaven.

He proposed the governing philosophy of "establishing the country with the Way, governing the people with virtue, and ruling the world with the rule of law."

It also incorporates Confucian benevolent governance, Taoist morality, and Buddhist compassion.

It was skillfully integrated into the strategies for governing the country.

"Governing a country is not about wielding power, but about taking responsibility."

A ruler should always keep the well-being of all people in mind.

Harmonize Yin and Yang, and regulate the Five Elements.

May the wind and rain be timely, the four seasons orderly, the people live in peace, and all things grow.

In this way, the nation will prosper.

When a nation prospers, the Way of Heaven is in harmony; when the Way of Heaven is in harmony, spiritual practice is easier.

What shocked Su Qingxuan even more was that

The ancestors even deduced a complete "method for cultivating national destiny" in the text.

This method takes the nation's territory as its "dantian" (energy center).

Taking the people's hearts as its "spirit,"

With laws and regulations as the "main arteries,"

The civil and military officials are considered as "apertures".

If a country can be governed well, the nation will be prosperous and the people will live in peace.

Then the ruler can use the nation's fortune to cultivate himself.

The speed of advancement in cultivation level far exceeds that of solo cultivation.

"This...this is no ordinary method of cultivation."

Rather, it is the way of emperors and the law of sage kings!

A storm raged in Su Qingxuan's heart.

He recalled his time assisting Emperor Jinghe in the mortal realm.

The pacification of the Western Regions and the opening of the Silk Road brought prosperity to the Great Xia Dynasty.

During those years, although he was busy with political affairs, his progress in cultivation did not slow down at all.

On the contrary, breakthroughs have been made repeatedly.

At the time, it was simply attributed to increased experience and the tempering of one's character.

In retrospect, it seems to coincide with this "method of cultivating national destiny"—

Although he was not an emperor, as a prime minister,

Those who actually wield power will naturally be able to influence the fate of the nation.

"No wonder my cultivation level could rise from zero in just a few decades in the mortal realm."

It leads straight to the level of a celestial being, and... there are absolutely no barriers to entry.

Su Qingxuan suddenly realized: "So, without realizing it,

I am already practicing the ways of my ancestors.

He continued reading.

The text also details several methods for harmonizing the nation's destiny with the will of Heaven:

There is a technique called "Qi Observation," which allows one to observe the rise and fall of a nation's fortunes.

There is a "regulation method" that can harmonize the nation's destiny by taking advantage of favorable timing and location;

There are "policies to reassure the people," which can unite the people and consolidate the foundation of the nation...

These methods are no longer simply techniques for cultivation.

Rather, it is the true study of governing the country and bringing peace to the world.

Su Qingxuan grew increasingly impressed with his ancestor's broad vision as he read on.

His magnanimity is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

When he turned to the eighteenth chapter, "The Chapter on Pacifying the World," it was almost dawn.

But he showed no signs of fatigue; on the contrary, he was full of energy.

Because this article points directly to the Three Realms.

"Once the country is well-governed, one should think about bringing peace to the world."

This world is not confined to one country or one border.

Rather, it refers to all sentient beings in the Three Realms, and all the myriad worlds and heavens.

The very first sentence shook Su Qingxuan to his core.

He read intently, and saw that the ancestors in the text possessed supreme wisdom.

On how to harmonize the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man,

To bring order to the three realms and peace and happiness to all beings.

Our ancestors believed that the three realms were originally one: the Heavenly Realm, the Human Realm, and the Netherworld.

Each has its own way and its own duties.

The Celestial Realm governs the operation of the Heavenly Dao.

Human beings practice education and propagation.

The Lord of the Underworld is reincarnated.

When the three realms are in harmony, the Great Way will flourish.

When the three realms are out of balance, calamities will arise one after another.

"However, hidden worries have already arisen in the Three Realms today."

The three religions in the celestial realm were locked in a struggle, their factions growing increasingly more divided.

The Dharma in the human realm is declining, and we are entering the Dharma-ending Age.

The resentment of the underworld accumulates, hindering the smooth cycle of reincarnation.

If this continues, within ten thousand years, a great calamity will befall the Three Realms.

Upon seeing this, Su Qingxuan's heart stirred, knowing that his ancestor was about to get to the heart of the matter.

Sure enough, the tone shifts in the following text:

"I spent three years in seclusion, observing the rise and fall of the three religions and studying the changes in the seal, and finally understood one principle:"

The Demon Lord's sealing power originated from the harmony and unity of the three religions;

The loosening of the seal stemmed from factionalism and mutual accusations.

"If the remaining soldiers are released, the demon can be sealed."

However, in my view, over the past 100,000 years, the three schools of thought will inevitably become increasingly divided due to sectarianism, leading to more mutual attacks and criticisms.

Confucianism denounces Taoism as nihilism, Taoism satirizes Buddhism as nihilism, and Buddhism belittles Confucianism as vulgar learning.

Practitioners of the three religions often cling to the belief that "their own doctrine is supreme."

They belittle other religions and even attack each other.

Until they become sworn enemies, never to speak to each other again until death.

"In this way, the power of the three religions will weaken, gradually entering the Dharma-ending Age, and the seal will inevitably loosen."

"I once used celestial divination to predict that if this situation is not changed..."

The time limit is 100,000 years.

The Demon Lord will surely break free of his seal, and the Three Realms will once again face calamity.

When Su Qingxuan read this, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Although he already knew about the Demon Lord's sealing.

But our ancestors calculated the time limit so clearly.

It still made him feel immense pressure.

He continued reading.

The ancestor's handwriting here is slightly hasty, as if it was written in a hurry:

"I once traveled through the celestial realm in disguise for a thousand years, and saw that although the three religions appeared to be harmonious..."

In reality, they were secretly competing.

They compete for the incense offerings of the lower realms and for the resources of outstanding disciples.

Seize the right to explore the secret realms of the heavens.

Even worse, some, for short-term gain, condoned their followers' attacks on other religions and slander of the orthodox tradition.

Such actions run counter to the principles of sealing demons.

"I once discussed the Dao with three fellow Daoists: Wenru, Taiqing, and Fozu."

The three sages are all wise and knowledgeable, and are willing to work together.

However, the three religions have been passed down for thousands of years and have countless disciples and followers, but their accumulated problems are already deep-rooted.

It cannot be changed by the words of three people alone.

Especially those who have vested interests and control resources,

The path to monopoly power is most vulnerable to change.

"If the seal is to be secure, the three religions must be united."

However, unification is not about mixing things up, but about seeking common ground while reserving differences, and working together with one heart and one mind.

The Confucian virtue of benevolence, the Taoist virtue of compassion, and the Buddhist virtue of mercy all originate from a desire to save the world.

The Confucian rites, the Taoist laws, and the Buddhist precepts are all for regulating behavior;

The wisdom of Confucianism, the enlightenment of Taoism, and the awakening of Buddhism all aim to unlock wisdom.

"If practitioners of the three religions can understand this principle and set aside their sectarian prejudices..."

Learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses, and verify each other's strengths.

Then the Dao can flourish, the seal can be strengthened, and the Three Realms can be at peace.

Alas, if I were to perish, this wish could only be left to future generations.

In the final paragraph, the ancestor's handwriting returned to a peaceful state.

Yet it conveys a profound sense of expectation:

"If future generations have the opportunity to see this article, they should know the heavy responsibility on their shoulders."

The path to unifying the three religions is destined to be difficult.

There were conservatives who obstructed the effort, and vested interests who opposed it.

Some people who were unaware of the facts raised questions.

However, when the Great Way prevails, the world belongs to all.

For all sentient beings in the three realms, for eternal peace,

Even if there are countless difficulties, we must still go!

"I have incorporated all my life's learning into this mental method."

The nine chapters of the Confucian classics form the basis, with nine supplementary chapters for application.

I hope that future generations will carry on my will and follow this great path.

If successful, the Three Realms will be blessed, and all living beings will be blessed.

At the end, there was no signature, only a faint fingerprint—

That was a mark left by our ancestors with their blood and essence 100,000 years ago.

Su Qingxuan stared at the fingerprint for a long time.

It's as if you can see through 100,000 years of time.

Seeing the Su family ancestors writing diligently under a solitary lamp,

The figure who poured his last efforts into the book before the great battle.

That figure may be alone, but its gaze is as firm as a rock.

"Ancestor..." Su Qingxuan murmured softly, his voice echoing in the quiet room.

He straightened his clothes and hat, and faced the pages of the book.

Facing that fingerprint from 100,000 years ago,

He solemnly performed the three kneelings and nine kowtows ceremony.

After the ceremony, he stood up, his eyes filled with unwavering resolve.

"Qingxuan will certainly live up to your expectations."

He whispered his vow, each word carrying immense weight.

Outside the window, the first rays of dawn are breaking, and the sky is gradually brightening.

Su Qingxuan pushed open the door to the quiet room, and saw the eastern horizon...

The morning glow, like brocade, dyed the sea of ​​clouds golden and red.

The Sanyi Palace gradually awakens in the morning light, and the disciples have already begun their morning prayers.

The sounds of chanting scriptures, reciting Buddhist mantras, practicing martial arts, and discussing Taoism filled the air.

Every sound is pleasing to the ear, full of vitality.

Su Qingxuan stood in the courtyard and took a deep breath of the morning air.

Although his cultivation level did not break through that night, his understanding of the Great Dao improved significantly.

My understanding of the heavy responsibilities on my shoulders has deepened considerably.

More importantly, he understood how to walk his future path.

"The unification of the three teachings is not just empty talk; it requires starting from the fundamentals."

Su Qingxuan looked at the disciples in the palace who were diligently cultivating.

He already had a plan in mind: "First, I will pass on the true teachings in the Sanyi Palace."

To cultivate a group of disciples who truly understand this path.

Once they have grown up, their fame will spread throughout the heavens and even the mortal realm.

Through this transmission from generation to generation, the divide between the three religions may gradually be reversed.

Just as I was pondering this, I suddenly heard light footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.

Then came Lin Wanqing's uniquely gentle voice:

"Young master, are you ready to rise?"

"Wanqing, please come in." Su Qingxuan turned around, a gentle smile on her face.

Lin Wanqing pushed open the door and entered, carrying a pot of freshly brewed spiritual tea.

Today she wore a moon-white scholar's dress, its sleeves fluttering in the breeze.

Her hair was lightly tied up with a jade hairpin.

A few strands of her dark hair fell down her neck, adding to her gentle and graceful appearance.

After three months of cultivation, she has completely stabilized her early-stage Celestial Immortal realm.

Furthermore, as his memories of his past life gradually unlocked, his aura became increasingly harmonious and transparent.

At this moment, as she walked, she exuded an air of scholarly elegance.

It was as if she hadn't come to serve tea, but rather as a literary fairy who had stepped out of an ancient book.

"Young Master, you haven't slept all night again?" Lin Wanqing gently placed the teacup on the stone table.

She looked up at Su Qingxuan, her beautiful eyes filled with concern and heartache.

Su Qingxuan sat down on the stone bench, took the teacup, and smiled:

"After studying the wisdom of our ancestors, I gained some insights and before I knew it, dawn had broken."

He took a sip of the spiritual tea and felt a refreshing energy flow down his throat.

It nourishes the internal organs and clears the mind, prompting one to praise it:

"Excellent tea. Is this Lingxi's newly brewed 'Purifying the Mind and Enlightening the Way Tea'?"

Lin Wanqing sat down opposite him and nodded:

"That's right. Sister Lingxi refined it at Qingxu Pavilion yesterday."

It is said to aid in enlightenment.

She knew the young master often stayed up late studying, so she specially asked me to bring it this morning.

As she spoke, she poured herself a cup, holding it with both hands.

But she didn't drink; she simply looked at Su Qingxuan quietly and said softly:

"My lord, the way of cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation."

Although you have become a saint, working day and night like this will eventually exhaust your spirit.

Wanqing...is a little worried.

Su Qingxuan felt a warmth in his heart and said gently:

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. The ancestral teachings are profound and mysterious; I study them repeatedly..."

I gained new insights from them all, and it was truly difficult to put the book down.

He paused, then looked at Lin Wanqing:

"Wanqing, have any of your past life memories been unlocked recently?"

Lin Wanqing put down her teacup and nodded slightly:

"While meditating the night before, I recalled some fragments of memories."

It turns out that in my previous life, I was a disciple of the Venerable Wenru, and my name was "Wenqing".

Their duties included organizing and recording the teachings of the Heavenly Venerable.

At that time, I often served at the side of the Heavenly Venerable and thus heard the Great Dao.

A look of reminiscence appeared in her eyes:

"I remember once, the Supreme Celestial Venerable and the Buddha came to visit together."

The three celestial beings discussed the Dao for seven days and seven nights in the Spring and Autumn Hall of the Heaven of Literature and Confucianism.

As the secretary, I listened with rapt attention.

Although the three occasionally debated, it was always a friendly exchange of ideas and they respected each other.

Taiqing Tianzun said that the Dao follows the natural way.

The Buddha said that Madhyamaka is the Way.

The Celestial Venerable spoke of the Doctrine of the Mean.

The three expressed their own opinions, which corroborated each other's.

Finally, they looked at each other and smiled, both saying, "Though our principles differ, our paths are the same."

At this point, Lin Wanqing sighed softly:

"At that time, the relationship between the three religions, although there were some differences, was generally harmonious."

Unexpectedly, after ten thousand years, the sectarianism among cultivators of the three religions has deepened to this extent.

The mutual attacks have reached this point. What worries me even more is…

She lowered her voice: "Inside the ancestral temples of the three religions in the celestial realm today..."

Attitudes toward the "unity of the three religions" are also highly divided.

At the top levels, such as Celestial Venerable, Buddha, and Great Emperor,

Knowing that the sealing of the Demon Lord was a matter of life and death for the Three Realms,

Therefore, they were happy to see it succeed, and even secretly supported it.

"But the lower and middle-level cultivators, especially those who have already benefited, strongly resisted."

They fear that if the three religions were unified, their own status and resources would be damaged.

Therefore, they obstructed them both openly and covertly.

The three people, including Yu Xiaozi, at the opening ceremony of the mansion.

He's just a figurehead.

Su Qingxuan nodded slowly, his expression solemn.

"I've already sensed this. My senior brother Kong Shen came the other day and reminded me of it as well."

He cited examples of those vested interests mentioned by Kong Shen.

He concluded by saying, "They monopolize a region's faith, control the path to ascension, and profit from it."

My aim in promoting the unification of the three religions is to break this monopoly.

They naturally saw me as a thorn in their side.

Su Qingxuan looked at Lin Wanqing, his eyes filled with an unwavering determination:

"Someone has to walk this road. Once you've chosen it, you have nothing to fear from the difficulties."

Moreover…

He glanced at the gradually bustling Trinity Palace outside the courtyard and said softly:

"I have the Trinity Palace, I have you all, I have these disciples."

It has the support of the most holy beings, such as the Wenru Tianzun.

If we shrink from even this little bit of trouble, how can we live up to the trust placed in us by our ancestors?

How can we live up to the expectations of the three realms?

Lin Wanqing stared at Su Qingxuan.

Seeing the calm and resolute demeanor between his brows,

The worries in my heart gradually dissipated.

Instead, it was replaced by a heartfelt respect and trust.

Just then, Xiao Lingxi's distinctive cheerful voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard.

Like a clear spring striking a rock, the sound is crisp and melodious.

"Brother Su, Sister Wanqing, guess who's here?"

Before the words were finished, the bamboo door creaked open, and Xiao Lingxi had already taken Chi Ying's hand.

The two entered side by side.

Xiao Lingxi was dressed in a light blue Taoist robe today, its sleeves fluttering.

A silk sash was tied around his waist, from which hung a jade gourd.

She swayed gently with her steps.

Her eyes were bright and lively, sparkling with excitement.

She was like a newly sprouted willow branch in early spring, full of vitality.

Chi Ying was still dressed in a red armor outfit, with a black belt around her waist.

She wore cloud-patterned combat boots, her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and she looked neat and tidy.

Although her expression was cold, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, indicating that she was in a good mood.

After three months of cultivation, she had fully adapted to the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

His killing intent was concealed, but occasionally when he raised his eyes...

His eyes gleamed with a sharp light, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.

"What makes you so happy?" Su Qingxuan asked with a smile, already rising to greet him.

Xiao Lingxi loosened the red tassel and quickly walked a few steps to Su Qingxuan.

With a smile, she said, "It's an old friend from the mortal realm who has ascended to heaven and come to the Palace of Three Unity!"

"An old friend from the human realm?" Su Qingxuan was taken aback.

It is:

When I first grasped the essence of the Dharma, my mind became clear, and suddenly I heard an old friend walking on clouds.

Our reunion in the celestial realm is no accident; we embark on a long journey together.
