Primordial Era: I, the Thirteenth Witch, had my innermost thoughts overheard by my older siblings.

"Haha, Thirteenth Brother is right, it's completely useless!"

"Achieving sainthood through slaying one's own corpse? That's nothing! Didn't that scruffy bird also achieve sainthood through slaying its own corpse? Didn't it get beaten to a pulp by its underlings?"

"Second Brother is right, we younger brothers would never stoop to such unorthodox methods!"

"..."

Upon hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter, their hearts filled with disdain.

In their eyes, what is this talk of becoming a saint by severing one's corpse? It's all unorthodox and heretical!

Only body tempering is the right path!

"The path to quasi-sagehood is the foundation of sagehood; one must sever the three corpses and attain a state of forgetfulness, only then can one achieve the Great Dao..."

Hongjun was unaware of their thoughts. His body trembled slightly, and he began to preach.

As Hongjun preached, celestial maidens scattered flowers and golden lotuses sprang from the ground throughout the entire Zixiao Palace. Streams of Taoist magic aura flowed from Hongjun's body, seemingly tangible.

Sensing all this, everyone's minds sharpened, and they became immersed in the aura of these Daoist arts.

Upon sensing this, Ye Kai couldn't help but slightly tense up. Although the Path of Quasi-Saint was useless to him, the aura of these Dao techniques was real.

[In that case, I will use this Daoist energy to cleanse myself and comprehend the insights I gained previously.]

Thinking of this, Ye Kai did not hesitate. He immediately formed hand seals and circulated his own magical power, and wisps of Daoist energy surged from his body.

These Daoist auras, after being washed by the surrounding Daoist auras, inevitably became purer.

At the same time, Ye Kai also gained some new insights.

Whether it was the path of immortals that Hongjun had spoken of before, his insights from obtaining the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation, or his insights into other Daoist methods, he learned new things by reviewing the old.

Even Ye Kai's foundation has become more stable.

[It worked!]

Upon sensing this, Ye Kai focused his mind and entered a meditative state.

As he entered into deep meditation and contemplation, he also entered a state of seclusion on his own.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing one day of seclusion. Special reward: Sharp hearing and eyesight!"

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing 100 days of seclusion. Special reward: 100 strands of merit!"

"Congratulations, host, on successfully completing your one-year seclusion. Special reward: Golden Light Across the Earth!"

"..."

As Ye Kai continued his seclusion, system notifications sounded one after another, and the rewards he received for seclusion also increased.

The only pity is that his seclusion could not be interrupted, and it is precisely because of this that now that he has re-entered seclusion, he can only start from scratch!

and,

Because Ye Kai was listening to the Dao at Zixiao Palace, he sometimes had to stop and receive new Daoist teachings.

His seclusion will be interrupted, and he will have to start all over again!

That is why, even though he listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace for a thousand years, the longest period of seclusion he ever spent was only one year.

At other times, Ye Kai would usually just go into seclusion for a hundred days and then stop.

Even so, Ye Kai's actions were noticed by Hongjun.

"This kid doesn't comprehend the Dao like others. Instead, he sometimes goes into seclusion and sometimes tries to comprehend the Dao. Is it because he is only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal and cannot comprehend the Dao of the Quasi-Saint?"

"In that case, this old Taoist priest will lend you a hand!"

Thinking this, Hongjun immediately waved his hand, sending a surge of abundant Daoist power towards Ye Kai.

He opened this altar to preach in order to enlighten all living beings. Since everyone, whether they are from the Wu tribe or other creatures, has come here, he will treat them all equally.

Not to mention that Ye Kai also occupies a futon, which is a matter of fate for him. Given this, he can't afford to be biased towards him!

[Hmm? The Dao Ancestor... he's brought his Daoist magic to me?]

[Is he... helping me improve my cultivation?!]

Sensing Hongjun's actions, Ye Kai was also taken aback, thinking with some surprise and doubt.

After all, in his mind, the Heavenly Way is predetermined, and by seizing the prayer mat, he was disrupting the Heavenly Way's plans. Hongjun should not like him.

But now,

Why did Hongjun treat him like this?

[By the way! Hongjun hasn't yet merged with the Dao, and his consciousness hasn't been invaded by the will of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the current Hongjun is the true Dao Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor who treats everyone equally!]

[Instead of the Dao Ancestor who was ruthless and treated all things as mere straw dogs!]

Upon realizing this, Ye Kai's mind sharpened, and he immediately understood.

The Hongjun of today and the Hongjun of the future, though the same person, are in completely different states.

That's why he takes such good care of him!

"What Heavenly Will? Treating all things as straw dogs?"

"Hongjun was corrupted by the will of Heaven. Although I don't like this old Taoist, his strength is undeniable. How could he be corrupted by the will of Heaven?"

"Since he says so, there might really be some changes in the future."

"This old Taoist priest took good care of me, what a pity."

"..."

Upon suddenly hearing Ye Kai's thoughts, Di Jiang and the others were taken aback and asked in surprise.

As they said this, they also felt a sense of regret.

After all, they had all seen that Hongjun treated Ye Kai differently and took extra care of him.

What a pity that such a kind old man was born!

"Perhaps we can help them in the future."

"That's right! What's all this talk about the Heavenly Dao? It's nothing!"

"..."

At this moment, Zhu Rong and Gong Gong, among others, showed slight concern but remained unconcerned.

Upon hearing Zhu Rong's words, Di Jiang and the others couldn't help but let their eyes gleam.

If it becomes possible in the future, they should indeed offer some assistance.

After all, even Hongjun was schemed against, so the Heavenly Dao Will must be extraordinary. It's probably impossible for them to remain unscathed!

As they were thinking this, Ye Kai received the aura of Hongjun's Dao, and the aura of Dao on his body solidified, then an even more powerful aura erupted.

"boom--"

As this aura erupted, Ye Kai's body trembled, and streaks of black and white lightning burst forth from his body.

"This is... the Heavenly Thunder? This brat is no ordinary person!"

Hongjun was startled when he saw the lightning bolt, and then exclaimed in surprise.

Those black and white lightning bolts were undoubtedly the Heavenly Divine Lightning.

The Heavenly Thunder was a reward Ye Kai received during his previous seclusion, but he had never had the opportunity to use it before.

So outsiders don't know!

More importantly:

The Heavenly Thunder is the most powerful thunder technique that Pangu, the Great God, used to control the primordial world!

Ye Kai possesses the Heavenly Thunder, indicating that he has already received the inheritance of the Great God Pangu!

"My little brother..."

"He's actually mastered the Heavenly Thunder?!"

"I thought he was just bragging, but I never expected him to actually be so amazing!"

"..."

Not only Hongjun, but also Dijiang and the others were startled and exclaimed in amazement when they noticed the lightning emanating from Ye Kai's body.

They had previously overheard Ye Kai saying that he was going into seclusion to cultivate the Heavenly Thunder, but they didn't care at the time, since the Heavenly Thunder was their father's thunder technique.

What they didn't expect was that Ye Kai actually mastered the Heavenly Thunder during his seclusion in the Pangu Hall!

This incidates that,

Although Ye Kai does not possess a law specific to him, he does have a primordial spirit, which allows him to foresee the future and even control the Heavenly Divine Thunder!

Such a legacy is richer than theirs!

This is wonderful!
