Primordial Era: I am a member of the Jie Sect, and I am the God of Literature.

Chapter 60: The Imperial Decree for the Righteous One Mysterious Altar Marshal, Zhao Gongming Desires to Enter the Heavenly Court and Become the God of Wealth, Hears the Dao and Meets Kong Xuan, Breaking Through to the Taiyi Realm.

Cultivation knows no time; a thousand years later, the sage ceased preaching.

Su Shao Chen also opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth turned up, and a smile bloomed on his face.

He gained a great deal from this seclusion, not only completely perfecting the "Book of Ghostly Paths" but also making significant progress in the realm of literature.

Su Shao Chen has already grasped the key to breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. After this lecture, he can return to the Three Immortal Islands to prepare for the breakthrough.

Moreover, the sage's sermon brought him unexpected benefits in supernatural powers, formations, and weapon crafting.

His insights, especially regarding weapon crafting, provided Su Shao Chen with new ideas for refining his Dao-proving treasure, the Wen Dao Brush.

……

After the sage finishes preaching, the next stage is to resolve doubts.

As the senior disciple of the Jie Sect, Duobao was the first to step forward and inquire, just like last time...

Three hundred years later, when it was the turn of the Holy Mother Guiling, as the Tongtian Sect Leader answered her questions one by one, the Holy Mother Guiling seemed to have gained some insight, and a mysterious aura emanated from her body.

Seeing this, Tongtian nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of his sleeve, the figure of the Turtle Spirit Mother instantly returned to her cave.

"Our Jie Sect will produce its fourth Quasi-Saint, who will break through within a thousand years!" Duobao said with a smile when he saw that his junior sister Guiling had grasped the opportunity to become a Quasi-Saint.

Not only is Junior Sister Guiling's foundation solid and her foundation profound, but she also enjoys merits and blessings that are unmatched by others. After understanding the opportunity to become a Quasi-Saint, she will break through to the Quasi-Saint realm very quickly.

Unlike when Junior Sister Qiongxiao broke through to Quasi-Saint, although Junior Sister Qiongxiao had already grasped the Quasi-Saint opportunity at that time, her accumulation was still a bit lacking, so she needed time to build up her foundation.

However, Junior Sister Guiling had been at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for tens of thousands of years, accumulating immense knowledge and experience, so the time it took her to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm would be even shorter.

Upon hearing Senior Brother Duobao's words, all the disciples of the Jie Sect were greatly encouraged. Another member of their second-generation Jie Sect disciples had broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm!

This is already the fourth Quasi-Saint, leaving the Chan Sect far behind. The Chan Sect only has Guang Chengzi, a Quasi-Saint, to hold on to its current position...

About a thousand years later, it was the turn of the Three Immortals.

Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao also shared the problems they encountered in their cultivation, and the sage answered them one by one.

Upon hearing what his master said, Yunxiao seemed to have gained some insight, and his cultivation improved significantly.

Yunxiao broke through to the Quasi-Saint level thousands of years ago and became the second Quasi-Saint among the second-generation disciples of the Jie Sect. His cultivation speed and comprehension were highly admired by the Tongtian Sect Master.

Although his aptitude was slightly inferior to that of his direct disciples, his comprehension was exceptional, and he surpassed them on the path of cultivation.

If he dedicates himself to cultivation in the future, he will surely reach the high level of Quasi-Saint, possessing the potential to reach the peak of Quasi-Saint...

Next, it was Zhao Gongming's turn. Zhao Gongming stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Reporting to Master, I have been trapped at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm for ten thousand years. I do not know what my chances of becoming a Quasi-Saint are. Today, my nephew Shao Chen told me about the Heavenly Court. I have some feelings about it, but I do not know whether it is auspicious or inauspicious. I hope Master can guide me through this confusion."

"After cultivating for ten thousand years, the opportunity to become a Quasi-Saint will naturally come to fruition. By benefiting all things in the primordial world and understanding the opportunity within the Dao, one can naturally break through to the Quasi-Saint realm."

"The primordial world is filled with killing intent, and our Jie Sect is in the midst of this calamity. It is both an opportunity and a tribulation. Heaven has taken notice, and there is a vacancy in the divine positions. You should simply follow your heart."

Regarding the matter of the divine positions in Heaven, the Tongtian Sect Leader did not offer any specific advice, but instead left it to Zhao Gongming to decide for himself.

Zhao Gongming's future is shrouded in mystery and uncertain. In the long river of time, he seems to have encountered a choice, and his future is a mix of good and bad.

Zhao Gongming nodded upon hearing his master's words and then voiced his doubts about cultivation.

He already had some ideas in mind, but in the end, he would decide after going to the Three Immortal Islands...

Three thousand years later, the sage's preaching came to a complete end.

After the creatures of the East Sea respectfully bowed, they all departed. When Su Shao Chen was preparing to return to the Three Immortal Islands with his masters, he encountered a refined young man in a black Daoist robe on Jin'ao Island.

The young man resembled a refined scholar-general, exuding an ethereal aura and giving off a gentle and elegant feeling. Moreover, he was holding a book written by Su Shao Chen in the human realm.

Su Shao Chen only glanced at him twice before the other person sensed it. Upon seeing Su Shao Chen, their eyes met, and the other person revealed a smile before walking up to Su Shao Chen.

"Greetings, fellow Daoist."

Su Shao Chen vaguely guessed who this person was, so he bowed and said, "Wen Chang greets fellow Daoist. May I ask which immortal mountain you cultivate on?"

"My name is Kong Xuan. I am currently cultivating in the land of humans. If you visit the human realm again, how about we discuss the Dao?" Kong Xuan seemed to be very interested in this great sage of the human race, Emperor Wenchang.

"Very well, that's how it should be. Once I break through to the Taiyi realm, I will visit you in the human realm and discuss the Dao with you. As long as you don't think my cultivation is too low, that's fine," Su Shao Chen said with a faint smile.

The other party is the son of the Ancestral Phoenix, who also made a significant contribution to the later Investiture of the Gods. His cultivation level is now at least at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, which is top-tier even in the prehistoric world.

"Haha, I have long heard of your talent, fellow Daoist, but I have never had the chance to see it. I have many thoughts and have long wanted to discuss the Dao with you. I would certainly like to welcome you with open arms." Kong Xuan heard Su Shao Chen's words and knew that the other party knew his identity, so he said with a faint smile.

"I will certainly not disappoint you at that time," Su Shao Chen replied.

After a brief chat, Kong Xuan transformed into a beam of five-colored divine light and disappeared into Jin'ao Island. Su Shao Chen also returned to the Three Immortal Islands with his masters.

"This person's cultivation is probably extraordinary. Although he is a Golden Immortal, I can still vaguely sense how terrifying he is," Yunxiao said, watching Kong Xuan's disappearing figure.

"He is the son of the Ancestral Phoenix, the first peacock in the primordial world, and has a great karmic connection with the Shang Dynasty. He is currently cultivating in the land of the Great Shang, and is probably at the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, or even the high-stage of Quasi-Saint," Su Shao Chen explained after hearing his master's words.

"Kong Xuan?" Yunxiao murmured to himself upon hearing his disciple's words, and then thought of some rumors circulating in the prehistoric world.

"That five-colored light must be an extremely terrifying divine power," Qiongxiao said. Ever since she cultivated the Tribulation Sword, she has been extremely sensitive to certain divine powers.

"We may not be able to avoid this situation again in the future. When my eldest and second sisters return to the Three Immortal Islands this time, I plan to go into seclusion. I will not leave until I break through to the Quasi-Saint level!" Bixiao said from the side.

"You have just broken through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and your accumulation is insufficient. The path to Quasi-Saint cannot be rushed. Now that you are under the influence of tribulation energy, you should cultivate quietly and diligently in the future, and you must not cause any more trouble." Yunxiao looked at his third sister with a serious tone.

Those who are family know their own situation. It's probably impossible for the third sister to break through to the Quasi-Saint level like the second sister.

The second sister's breakthrough to Quasi-Saint was due to a fortuitous encounter where she comprehended the Dao of the Tribulation Sword. With the assistance of the Heavenly Dao Laws, she was able to break through to Quasi-Saint in such a short time.

Despite the help of Heaven and the fact that she had accumulated experience for a thousand years before breaking through to become a Quasi-Saint, the Third Sister had only just broken through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. The possibility of her becoming like the Second Sister was very small. After all, opportunities are rare and hard to come by. How could the Three Immortals of Sanxiao be favored every time?

"Don't worry, big sister, I understand."

"My good disciple, after you return from seclusion this time, you must tell your master a good story. I've been so bored during my thousands of years of seclusion," Bixiao said to Su Shaochen in a silvery voice.

Upon hearing this, Su Shao Chen agreed, "Yes, Master. Once I break through to Taiyi, I will tell you stories so that you can gain some enlightenment and attain Quasi-Sainthood as soon as possible."

Although he didn't know if his story could help a peak Grand Luo Golden Immortal achieve enlightenment, Su Shao Chen was willing to give it a try. If it could help Master Bi Xiao achieve enlightenment on the Quasi-Saint stage, that would be even better; if not, he could still consider it an interesting anecdote in his cultivation journey...

……

Upon returning to the Three Immortal Islands, Su Shao Chen went to the Seven Curves Palace to begin his seclusion.

This sermon not only helped him understand the opportunity for a breakthrough, but also allowed him to accumulate extremely profound knowledge at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

Both his magical power and physical body have reached their peak. As long as he breaks through the bottleneck, he can break through to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
