Each of them possessed an inner aura, their divine light concealed, and their spiritual energy subtly flowed around them, clearly indicating exceptional talent and extraordinary origins.

Once everyone was seated, the Eastern King slowly opened his eyes, his voice calm yet dignified: "Today, your master and fellow Daoist Qinglian will jointly expound the Great Dao. You must listen attentively and refrain from idle talk or noise. How much you comprehend and gain depends entirely on your own destiny."

Upon hearing this, all the disciples were deeply moved, rose to their feet, bowed, and clasped their hands in prayer: "We will obey our master's command!"

"I'll reveal a secret technique first, please forgive me, fellow Daoist."

Before he finished speaking, a wisp of innate pure yang divine light rose from the body of the Eastern King Duke, and half an acre of auspicious cloud suddenly floated into the air. Three golden lotuses bloomed in succession on the cloud, each golden lotus was formed by pure yang energy, and wisps of innate sword energy crisscrossed and transformed into endless Daoist charm.

The disciples' eyes met, and their minds were immediately captivated. They all lowered their gazes and their divine light spontaneously emanated from their bodies. They sat upright and entered a meditative state, silently contemplating the ineffable mysteries within the pure Yang origin.

The Green Lotus Daoist looked up and saw that the three flowers of the primordial spirit were clear, vigorous, and majestic. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and he thought to himself, "After more than a thousand years, the Pure Yang Dao Fruit of the Eastern King Duke has actually advanced to such a level. He truly lives up to the name 'Having attained the Dao'."

He then closed his eyes and concentrated, quietly deducing the true meaning of pure Yang, and repeatedly verified it with the "True Scripture of the Five Elements of the Primordial Heaven" that he had cultivated, filling in the gaps and making up for the deficiencies, as meticulous as weaving.

All the disciples of the Chunyang Sect practiced orthodox mental cultivation methods and had a solid foundation. At this moment, their minds were clear and their divine light flowed, often showing signs of sudden enlightenment, indicating that they had benefited greatly.

Qingling stands out in particular; her divine light of fire soars straight into the sky, and the ultimate truth of fire virtue is revealed within the flames, burning away all distracting thoughts and illuminating one's true nature—this alone shows that her innate talent is exceptional and incomparable to the ordinary.

More than a hundred years have passed quietly. Dongwanggong suddenly fell silent, not asking his disciples a single question, but turning to Qinglian Daoist and bowing, saying, "My meager pure yang cultivation is merely superficial. I hope you will enlighten me on the true essence of the 'True Scripture of the Five Elements of the Primordial Heaven'."

The Green Lotus Daoist laughed loudly and said, "This scripture is a true transmission of the Great Luo level, how can it be lightly imparted? Whether you can comprehend it depends entirely on your own background, opportunities, and temperament, it cannot be forced."

"If one's will is not firm and one's blessings are not abundant, it may lead to the obscurity of one's true spirit and the cracking of one's heart on the path, thus becoming a great obstacle to cultivation."

The innate Dao is always demanding—those who are not born close to the Dao will find it difficult to even glimpse its path; those without great ambition, great fortune, or great destiny will find it difficult to even scratch a corner of it, even if they dedicate their entire lives to it.

Trying to force oneself to study the scriptures can lead to obstacles and difficulties, or even mental confusion and descent into madness.

Having finished speaking, without paying attention to the bewildered looks exchanged among the crowd below, Daoist Qinglian stood up proudly, and five-colored divine light burst forth from his body, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

The three flowers of the primordial spirit slowly bloomed, celestial music rose from the void, auspicious clouds surged, and with each breath, the profound essence of the "True Scripture of the Five Elements of the Primordial Heaven" was exhaled:

"Heaven established the Five Elements: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The generating relationships are: Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire, Fire generates Earth, and Earth generates Metal; the restraining relationships are: Metal restrains Wood, Wood restrains Earth, Earth restrains Water, Water restrains Fire, and Fire restrains Metal..."

His voice, like heavenly music, fell like sweet rain, each word a gentle breeze. Golden lotuses rained down from the sky, and golden lotuses sprang up from the ground, as a divine light of five elements and five colors slowly spread across the heavens.

Three flowers shone brightly in the light, auspicious vapors rose, and lotus shadows swayed; a divine diagram of the Five Elements hung high in the sky, and the principles of the generation, restraint, flow and return of the Five Elements were silently evolved in the diagram.

Those with a deep affinity suddenly feel a relaxation on their shoulders, their eyes slightly blurred, and see a golden lotus gracefully landing on their sleeves. A unique fragrance permeates their spirit, instantly purifying their primordial spirit. They immediately hold their breath, gather their thoughts, and immerse themselves in contemplation.

The Dao is inherently primordial, and light arises from the Dao—this is not an ordinary saying, but rather proof of the Great Dao personally demonstrated by a person of great supernatural power.

For a moment, no one in the Chunyang Sect spoke; only their long, even breathing remained, as they were all immersed in the profound principles of the Five Elements.

However, the Great Luo True Scripture is of immense importance!

Those with shallow roots and meager blessings, after hearing only a few words, feel their minds tremble, their spirits clouded, and cold sweat pour down their faces. They quickly gather their composure and dare not delve any deeper.

Dongwanggong observed this scene and was shocked: Qinglian Daoist's "True Scripture of the Five Elements of the Primordial Heaven" indeed points directly to the root of the Great Luo, containing the foundation for supreme enlightenment.

It is lamentable that this path is innate and must correspond with the origin of the five elements of heaven and earth, and cannot be widely spread by human power; unlike the pure yang path, which can still establish sects and schools and be passed down from generation to generation.

With his eyes lowered and lips slightly parted, the Daoist Qinglian spoke in a faint, ethereal voice, dissecting the profound mysteries of the Five Elements layer by layer. He himself also took the opportunity of preaching to reflect inward, identify and fill in any gaps in his understanding, and gained far more than he had expected.

Explaining the Dharma to others is, in fact, self-cultivation; proceeding from the shallow to the deep, peeling back the layers, transforming those subtle and difficult points into plain language to explain them in a gentle and persuasive manner—so that later learners can follow in its footsteps, and one's own old principles can be revitalized.

As the explanation reached its most exquisite point, the divine diagram in the sky slowly expanded, with supreme divine light gushing out. Stars were arranged in the diagram, and the five primordial divine lights flickered uncertainly. The fundamental mechanism of the five elements flowed endlessly within it.

Suddenly, Qingling, who was sitting cross-legged below, was engulfed in blazing divine light of fire, which shot straight into the sky and quietly echoed the innate Five Elements Divine Diagram in the sky. Wisps of primordial energy flowed out from time to time.

She parted her lips slightly, her voice clear and melodious: "Fire belongs to the Five Elements, and the Five Elements are inherent; since the Five Elements generate each other, Fire naturally evolves into the Five Elements."

In an instant, a faint wisp of Five Elements divine light appeared around Qingling's body—although it had not yet reached the Innate Realm, it already contained the mechanism of the rotation of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, profound and restrained, and should not be underestimated.

Anyone with a spiritual cultivation can tell at a glance that this is no ordinary technique, but a supreme and wondrous method that points directly to the origin of the Great Dao. It can build a foundation for immortality, prove one's true nature, and even open the gate to the Great Luo, thus secretly conforming to the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

When Dongwanggong saw that Qingling could comprehend such profound secrets in the "True Scripture of the Five Elements of the Primordial World", he was secretly delighted and whispered, "Even if he has not reached the Primordial World level, the very essence of the mutual generation of the Five Elements is already the highest Dao fruit; given hundreds of millions of years of cultivation, Qingling may very well be able to ascend to the position of the Great Luo."

After concluding his discourse on Taoism, Daoist Qinglian intends to travel far and wide to seek out the three overseas immortal islands of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, and to choose an auspicious place to open a cave dwelling and settle his Taoist body.

Since he entered the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he has become increasingly in sync with the Qi of heaven and earth. Whenever he quietly observes the operation of the Primordial Chaos, he feels that this great calamity is about to end and a new era is about to begin.

It is the perfect time to establish a fundamental Taoist temple, so that when the next Primordial Chaos begins, we can share in the fortune of the four seas and protect the lineage from decline.

Three hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. The Taoist Qinglian suddenly stopped preaching, glanced at Qingling with his eyes, smiled slightly, bowed to the Eastern King Duke to bid farewell, and then turned and sped off towards the prehistoric world.

The Antarctic region is desolate and barren, with its vast expanse of land stretching to the horizon.

Only a single auspicious five-colored cloud pierced through the sky, its shape perfectly formed by nature, seemingly possessing its own majesty. Wherever it passed, supernatural powers followed its shadow.

Countless cultivators and spirits along the way held their breath and hid, feeling a vast and powerful pressure coming towards them. They knew that it must be a top expert passing by, so who dared to look up and peek?

Only when the clouds had completely disappeared did he dare to slowly rise, look up and gaze in the direction the clouds had gone, his eyes filled with awe and envy.
