Honghuang: Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 4 004 Rebuilding the Dao Foundation
The hammer emitting purple electric light must be the Purple Lightning Hammer. And the mirror, which had a strong aura of death, must be the Samsara Mirror.

Wei Guang glanced at Zhao Gongming, and saw that his eyes were fixed on the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls, his eyes full of excitement.

Living in the ancient times, Wei Guang had already realized that there is such a thing as fate.

Of course, if these words came from the two saints of the West, they might not be so convincing.

Although the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls could evolve into the twenty-four gods, Wei Guang had no intention of snatching them. It was pure nonsense to say that Zhao Gongming could avoid the tragic ending without the Dinghai Divine Pearls.

It's just an excuse for himself to seize the treasure.

If you really want to do this, why not just go and rob the fallen treasures and money?

How to choose depends on your actual situation. Wei Guang is now good at attacking but not good at defending. Although practicing the Three Lights Mysterious Origin Technique has made his body extremely strong, it cannot be used as a spiritual treasure.

The Sky-High Flag should be able to make up for this shortcoming.

At this time, Zhao Gongming also came back to his senses. He looked away with a slightly embarrassed look and said to Wei Guang humbly, "Senior brother, please go first."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Wei Guang smiled slightly, then looked at Tong Tian: "Master, I will choose that precious flag."

Tongtian smiled and said, "You know how to choose."

The Tianhua Miaozhui Flag is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, which is a great help even to Tongtian. However, since he chose to take it out, he naturally would not be reluctant to part with it.

In fact, it was originally taken out to give to Wei Guang.

He could feel that the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls were destined to be with Zhao Gongming, and since such a top-grade innate spiritual treasure was given to the second disciple, the eldest disciple's gift to become a disciple naturally could not be too bad.

So he took out the Purple Lightning Hammer and the Smallpox Magic Falling Flag and let Wei Guang choose for himself.

After handing the Tianhua Miaozhui Flag to Wei Guang, Tongtian looked at Zhao Gongming, who did not hesitate and directly chose the twenty-four Dinghai Shenzhu.

Thus, the apprenticeship is over.

Afterwards, Tongtian and Wei Guang crossed the void and returned to Kunlun Mountain. Upon learning that Tongtian had accepted a disciple, Laozi and Yuanshi left the palace.

Without waiting for Tongtian to speak, Wei Guang and Zhao Gongming bowed to the two and said, "Wei Guang/Zhao Gongming, I pay my respects to the Master and Second Master."

"Third brother, you are lucky." I am a man of few words. I could see through the two men's intentions at a glance, so I said this.

Although Yuanshi did not say much, there was no look of disgust on his face. After all, neither Wei Guang nor Zhao Gongming were people he disliked.

After observing their words and expressions, Wei Guang discovered that the two men's personalities were not much different from what he knew.

Although Yuanshi did not speak, it was also a manifestation of arrogance. If he and Zhao Gongming were beasts, he would have said that classic saying.

As for Laozi...one sentence doesn't mean anything, we'll see later.

"Of course." Tongtian was very happy to see his elder brother praising his new disciple.

"These two bottles of pills can be considered as the gift from uncle-master to you." Laozi just smiled when he heard it, then took out two jade bottles and threw them down casually.

"Thank you, Master Uncle." After expressing their gratitude, Wei Guang and the other two put away the jade bottle.

At this time, Yuanshi also spoke up and said, "I think your master has already given you spiritual treasures, and your great master has given you elixirs, so I will give you a cave."

As he spoke, Yuanshi took out two model-like palaces and placed them in front of the two of them.

Although the two palaces are now in a forbidden state, they are easier to see. One is mainly milky white, and seems to be made of white jade.

The other one was purple, as dazzling as purple agate. "Thank you, Second Master."

Wei Guang and Zhao Gongming thanked him together. In the end, Wei Guang chose the more low-key white palace, and the purple one naturally belonged to Zhao Gongming.

After meeting Laozi and Yuanshi, Tongtian took them back to Shangqing Palace.

Sitting at the top, Tongtian looked at the two and said, "I am from the Shangqing lineage. I have the Shangqing Immortal Art for cultivating the primordial spirit and the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong for the sanctification of the physical body."

"I will teach you both, but the Nine Revolutions Yuan Gong is difficult to practice, so you should do it according to your ability."

As he spoke, Tongtian pointed at the two of them, and as two rays of mysterious light poured into the center of Wei Guang and Zhao Gongming's eyebrows respectively, both of them were familiar with the Shangqing Immortal Technique and the Jiuzhuan Yuan Gong.

Tongtian said again: "I will preach to you two for a thousand years. How much you can understand depends on you two."

It’s not that Tongtian doesn’t want to talk more, but the two of them have too low a realm. If he talks too much, they won’t be able to understand, and it might even backfire.

"Wei Guang/Gong Ming, thank you, Master."

After expressing their gratitude, the two of them sat cross-legged under Tongtian's guidance, waiting for Tongtian to begin his lecture.

"The Tao is born from nothingness, and is unfathomable to all spirits; the spirit is condensed in the void, and is ever-changing; the dark has essence, but is peaceful and radiant; the great mystery is boundless, and is empty and quiet..."

Even though Tongtian was only a quasi-saint, he still had the word "saint" in his name. As soon as he opened his mouth, a strong aura of Tao suddenly enveloped the two of them.

Surrounded by the rich Taoist charm, Wei Guang and the other two immediately entered a state of selflessness and in this state, the mysterious scripture suddenly changed.

It was no longer difficult to understand, and what the two heard was no longer the mysterious scriptures, but an analysis of the realm from shallow to deep.

From celestial immortals to true immortals, and then to mysterious immortals and golden immortals, the mysteries of each realm, the underlying logic, and even the issues that need to be paid attention to in each realm, were all presented in front of the two.

Tongtian is rebuilding the foundation of Taoism for the two of them.

The biggest drawback for independent practitioners is that they have no inheritance. Practicing cultivation is like throwing a stone to test the water, taking one step at a time, and it is inevitable that the foundation of the Tao will be unstable.

Since Tongtian accepted the two of them, he naturally had to help them solve this problem.

A thousand years may seem like a long time, but under special circumstances, for Wei Guang and Zhao Gongming, it was just a moment and passed in the blink of an eye.

However, after Tongtian stopped preaching, the two did not wake up for a long time.

Tongtian seemed to have anticipated this, and casually set up a barrier for each of them to prevent them from affecting each other, and then disappeared in the hall.

At this time, Wei Guang and the other two were still deeply silent.

Especially Wei Guang.

In the past, he knew nothing about cultivation. He had comprehended the Three Lights Mysterious Origin Gong entirely through the back door of the Great Dao. Only now did he realize how crude this technique was.

Being able to cultivate to this level is a miracle.

Fortunately, this preaching helped him solve this defect. The next step is to modify and improve the practice method, and then rebuild the foundation of Taoism through re-cultivation.

Rebuilding does not mean to disperse all your energy and start over again, but to walk the same path again based on the original foundation.

In this way, all his shortcomings will be made up in the reconstruction, making his foundation stronger and more stable. Only in this way will his future path be easier and his upper limit will be higher.

Although it does not require disbanding and starting over, it is definitely not something that can be completed in a short period of time.
