Primordial Era: Starting with the Immortals of the Jie Sect to Prove the Dao of Hunyuan

As soon as the Tongtian Sect Leader spoke, all eyes below immediately focused on Li Qing.

Apart from Lingya Xian, who went from being surprised to genuinely happy for Li Qing, the others each had their own thoughts.

Especially Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, who almost wore his dissatisfaction on his face at the very beginning, but in the blink of an eye it turned into superficial admiration and respect. His eyes darted back and forth between Li Qing and Duo Bao, and many other thoughts arose in his mind.

Jin Ling looked at Li Qing with considerable curiosity: "The first person the Sage accepted was actually him? It seems he must be extraordinary. Perhaps he comprehended something within the great formation, which is why he arrived so late?"

Daoist Duobao was also puzzled as to why the Tongtian Sect Leader would favor someone who came in last place in the battle, but as the eldest disciple of the Jie Sect, he still smiled and said, "Congratulations, Master, on gaining such a fine disciple!"

At this moment, even Li Qing, with his calm and composed nature, couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

A direct disciple is quite different from a so-called follower disciple.

He immediately stepped forward, knelt down, and kowtowed, saying, "Disciple Li Qing greets Master!"

"Good, rise now. The human heart is perilous, the Dao heart is subtle. I hope you will diligently cultivate yourself in the future and attain the Great Dao soon!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader waved his sleeve and helped Li Qing up. He then appointed Jin Ling and Wu Dang as his personal disciples, Wu Yun Xian, Ling Ya Xian, and others as his attendant disciples, Yan Zhong Xian and others as inner disciples, and the rest as outer disciples.

"Today, you have entered my school. You should know my rules: you must respect your teachers and value the Way, be friendly to your fellow disciples, and not rely on the name of being disciples of a sage to act recklessly. Otherwise, I will severely punish you!"

After reciting the rules of the Jie Sect, the Tongtian Sect Leader waved his sleeve, and the jade scroll of the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture flew out: "Today I will impart to you the great Dharma, so listen attentively to my teachings!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing quickly calmed himself, unleashed his auspicious cloud, and probed the jade book in the air with his divine sense.

The long-eared Dingguang Immortal sitting behind him rolled his eyes, and with a thought, charged towards Li Qing.

The Tongtian Sect Leader frowned almost imperceptibly at the head of the table, his opinion of Chang Er Dingguang Xian plummeting.

Just as he was about to intervene, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly shot out from Li Qing's divine sense, fiercely striking back at the divine sense of the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal that was attacking him!

Boom!

The thunderclap didn't resound in the main hall; instead, it struck directly into the mind of the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal.

The next moment, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian groaned, his face drained of color. He looked up as if to say something, but when he saw the Tongtian Sect Leader's serious expression above him, he was startled. His little scheme of accusing the villain first vanished without a trace!

Chang Er Dingguang Xian lowered his head to conceal the resentment in his heart, and angrily poured his divine thoughts into the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture.

Li Qing was puzzled by Chang Er Ding Guang Xian's inexplicable provocation. He was certain that this was the first time he had seen the other party in Kunlun Mountain, and that they were even from the same sect. He didn't know why the other party would do this, especially after the Tongtian Sect Leader had emphasized the importance of friendship among fellow disciples!

"That's just his personality. We'll deal with him when we get the chance!"

Li Qing thought to himself that Chang Er Ding Guang Xian would later convert to the Western Sect and become the Ding Guang Huan Xi Buddha, and he made a decision in his heart.

However, at this time, the main focus was still on listening to the sermons of the Tongtian Sect Leader.

After all, the opportunity for a sage to personally preach is an extremely rare and precious chance.

When the first sage of the primordial world, Hongjun Laozu, preached, those who wanted to hear his teachings had to traverse the chaos and endure countless near-death experiences to be able to hear them!

Seeing that Li Qing was showing a bit of brilliance without being aggressive, the Tongtian Sect Leader valued him even more.

"This child resembles me, not bad!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader nodded inwardly. After everyone had explored the Shangqing Great Cave True Scripture with their divine senses and gained a preliminary understanding of the Shangqing Great Law, the Tongtian Sect Leader spoke.

"I am giving this lecture today for two reasons. First, to dispel your doubts. Second, since you are at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level, and some are at the Golden Immortal level and others at the Xuan Immortal level, I am also guiding you on your path so that you will not go astray."

Then, the Tongtian Sect Leader began to expound the Shangqing Great Law, incorporating the Great Dao's maxims. His ancient voice resounded from the depths of everyone's hearts, and five white waves appeared in the air, constantly surging and flowing back and forth, explaining the process of the Great Dao's origin.

Li Qing's cultivation over the past countless years has been nothing more than imitating the methods passed down through generations. He relied on his natural talent and the slow, meticulous study to gradually achieve the Golden Immortal Transformation. Now, having heard the Great Dao, he felt as if he were drinking sweet rain, amidst auspicious clouds.

"The sky is clear and the Qi is pure, the three lights shine brightly, golden chambers and jade rooms, five precious fungi grow, dark clouds and purple canopies illuminate my body, celestial boys and jade maidens bring me spiritual light, the nine Qi are in harmony, the three lights are in sync, riding on the purple canopy, I ascend into the imperial court."

Among the disciples below, apart from Duobao who had already mastered the Shangqing Great Law, Li Qing was the first to light up, with blue lotuses blooming out of thin air. The Shangqing Immortal Light began to condense around him, gradually sweeping away the demonic energy in the inheritance.

He was originally formed from the combination of Pangu's twelve-story tower and acquired turbid energy. Although he became a demon, he still retained a metal element.

Unfortunately, it landed in the east and was tainted by the wood element. After taking human form, it became dominated by the wood element. It also absorbed heavenly lightning, which greatly increased its wood element, surpassing the metal element.

Now, under the Great Dao Maxims and the Shangqing Great Law of the Tongtian Sect Master, the previously suppressed metal element has been swept away like dust and is gradually beginning to show its brilliance.

However, the metal and wood elements do not generate each other. The metal element is extremely aggressive and has been suppressed by the wood element for countless years. After its birth, it will compete with the wood element!

While preaching, the Tongtian Sect Leader at the head of the table kept an eye on his disciples below. When he saw the metal element protruding from Li Qing's body, indicating that infighting was about to break out, he frowned.

"I can't let my promising disciple's foundation be wasted like this."

Just as the Tongtian Sect Leader was about to make a move, Li Qing beat him to it.

He appeared to be half asleep, half awake, his magical power flowing, and from the auspicious clouds above his head flew out the Shangqing Formation Explanation he had obtained within the formation.

Under Li Qing's magical power, the jade book suddenly disintegrated into seven divine patterns representing metal, wood, water, fire, earth, yin, and yang, strung together and shining brightly.

"The Metal God and Wood Goddess have already met; without the Yellow Woman (the Alchemist), how can the Five Elements be harmonized? When essence, energy, and spirit are complete, metal naturally generates water, and water generates wood; the harmony of the Five Elements is naturally as it should be!"

A spark of inspiration was born from Li Qingzu's aperture, illuminating the majestic Kunlun Mountains.

The earth-shaped divine pattern in the air, connected to the Five Elements Dao, landed in Li Qing's body, and suppressed the metal and wood elements.

"Um?"

This surprised even the Grandmaster of the Heavenly Sect.

Although he had high hopes for Li Qing, he did not expect that Li Qing, at only the Golden Immortal realm, had vaguely comprehended the cultivation of the Taiyi Golden Immortal and the Daluo Golden Immortal!

"Rare indeed, rare indeed! Hahaha, Second Brother, you don't have a single genius like this among your students. They're all just following the rules and regulations, so boring!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader reached out and grabbed at the air, and boundless innate spiritual energy formed countless blue lotuses that landed on Li Qing.

Li Qing closed his eyes as if asleep, without snoring, completely absorbed in listening to the Dao. The seven divine runes fell into his body and shone brightly. The five elements in his body were complete, and the yin and yang were balanced. His foundation was polished to be more and more solid.
