Chapter 223

Even for a direct disciple, it is not something one can enter lightly.

When the attendant brought Luo Fu to an ancient, simple-looking gate and stopped, "Young Master, Master is inside; please enter yourself—I shall not follow."

"Alright…" Luo Fu nodded, stared at the gate before him, placed his hand on it, and slowly pushed it open as he stepped inside.

As for his own safety, Luo Fu was not particularly worried.

After all, this was the sacred ground of a Saint.

Who would dare cause trouble before a Saint? As for Master Yuanshi Tianzun wanting to harm him, it was nearly impossible under normal circumstances.

He was a direct disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu.

If they were to move against him, it would mean breaking ties with Tongtian Jiaozhu.

This is not the Era of Kalpa Tribulation.

The relationship between Master Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu has not deteriorated to such an extent.

Therefore, under these circumstances, Luo Fu felt quite secure.

This Primordial World.

Under current conditions, there is no place safer than Mount Kunlun.

Yet this time, when Luo Fu came to hear the teachings of Master Yuanshi Tianzun, he already had a plan—he would need to spend considerable time listening.

He would not act as he had with Tongtian Jiaozhu, fully unleashing his max-level comprehension.

So Luo Fu needed to stretch out the time.

Originally, as Tongtian Jiaozhu's direct disciple, given how much Tongtian Jiaozhu valued Luo Fu, he could have come to hear teachings at any moment.

Even Daoist Duobao, Tongtian Jiaozhu would never treat him this way.

Fortunately,

Luo Fu had never displayed such behavior before, or else the many disciples of Mount Kunlun might have thought Luo Fu was truly Tongtian Jiaozhu's own son.

If he were not his son, how could he be treated so well?

Here with Master Yuanshi Tianzun, Luo Fu knew that after this session of listening, the chance of hearing again would be extremely slim.

So he needed to absorb as much of Master Yuanshi Tianzun's Dao inheritance as possible during this session.

For other beings,

Comprehending too many Dao principles—even Dao principles beyond one's own level—could harm future growth.

But Luo Fu, with his max-level comprehension, was quite confident about it.

At the Golden Immortal Realm, Luo Fu's comprehension had, in some ways, surpassed even that of a Saint.

Thus, when his strength broke through to the Great Immortal Realm, his comprehension would surely undergo another leap.

This was the very foundation of Luo Fu's confidence in coming here to hear the teachings of Master Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi.

If he did not possess such comprehension,

This reward might truly have been delayed.

At least until he became a Great Immortal would he possibly be allowed to come.

After all, for normal beings, the Golden Immortal Realm was far too low—how much of a Saint's Dao inheritance could they possibly perceive?

In the past, these primordial deities went to the Purple Cloud Palace to hear the teachings.

Ancestor Hongjun gave only three sermons.

The Dao of the Great Immortal, the Dao of the Quasi-Saint, and finally, the Dao of the Saint.

On one hand, because the growth of beings in the Primordial World required time—Ancestor Hongjun could not possibly impart all Dao knowledge at once to the primordial deities.

On the other hand, even primordial deities would be harmed if they absorbed too much Dao inheritance.

Thus, Ancestor Hongjun divided his teachings into three sermons.

After completing these three sermons, the merit of enlightening all beings granted Ancestor Hongjun the qualification to merge with Heaven's Dao.

For Luo Fu, he must give his utmost to comprehend Master Yuanshi Tianzun's Dao inheritance.

Yet he would prolong the time slightly, so as not to fully reveal his comprehension to Master Yuanshi Tianzun.

This point,

Because Luo Fu had already formed some estimate while with Tongtian Jiaozhu, he could still exert some control.

When he first came to hear Tongtian Jiaozhu's teachings, Luo Fu did not yet know the true extent of his comprehension.

Without comparison, there was no direct way to gauge it.

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Luo Fu's emotions finally calmed, and he stepped into the palace.

Entering the palace, Luo Fu felt as if he had entered another world.

Countless Dao principles floated and sank within the palace.

One after another, Dao principles intertwined here, forming a magnificent spectacle—faintly, it seemed as if this were the very core of the world.

At the core stood a figure, robed in Daoist garments, upon whom the Heavens and Myriad Worlds endlessly arose and perished.

Infinite chaotic qi flowed endlessly around this figure.

This figure was as if the center of the Heavens and Myriad Worlds.

The vibration of the Dao made countless sparks of wisdom ignite within Luo Fu's heart.

A Saint—no wonder they are a Saint.

Even a tiny fraction of their own Dao radiating outward could bring such profound benefit and influence to other beings.

No wonder, in the Primordial World, achieving the Hunyuan Great Immortal Dao is so difficult.

Compared to the Quasi-Saint layer, they are surely beings of an entirely different concept.

Of course, Luo Fu currently did not yet know how strong the power of the Quasi-Saint layer truly was.

He could only make certain guesses in his mind.

Luo Fu took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully to the figure: "Disciple Luo Fu pays homage to Master Yuanshi."

"Mmm…" Master Yuanshi responded, turning to look at Luo Fu, his eyes like the collapse of countless heavens.

"Luo Fu," Master Yuanshi said gravely, "tell me—what level of Dao inheritance do you wish to hear? Golden Immortal, or Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

Currently, Luo Fu possessed power at the Golden Immortal layer; in Master Yuanshi's view, attuning to the Dao inheritance of the Taiyi Golden Immortal was already sufficient.

But Luo Fu certainly did not want to stop there.

If he were only to hear the Golden Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal levels, why would he have come to these two Saints?

For Luo Fu, he wished to hear more Dao inheritances—Daluo Golden Immortal, Provisional Saint, even their Hunyuan Daluo Dao.

"Master," Luo Fu bowed, "I wish to test my own limits. Please preach at full strength—if I cannot endure it, I will tell you."

Although Luo Fu wished to hear all of Master Yuanshi's Dao inheritances,

he would not say so outright—that would be far too brazen.

To some extent, such a display would also be slightly arrogant.

That was why Luo Fu had said he wished to test his own limits.

Thus, if Luo Fu made no move to stop him, Master Yuanshi would find it harder to halt.

At that point, Master Yuanshi's preaching to Luo Fu would likely have to continue.

This was a straightforward strategy.

And it was exactly Luo Fu's original plan.

"Test your limits?" Master Yuanshi regarded Luo Fu deeply. "Luo Fu, Elder Brother Laozi once said—listening to too much Dao is not necessarily a good thing."

"Disciple understands," Luo Fu bowed. "Master Yuanshi, no matter the outcome, I will not blame you, nor will my master."

"Very well," Master Yuanshi said gravely. "Then let us begin this preaching session."

As soon as he spoke,

a flash of light appeared beside Master Yuanshi, and an ancient banner materialized at his side.

The ancient banner radiated terrifying primordial chaos energy and emitted astonishing five-colored radiance.

The spiritual aura emanating from the banner far surpassed that of Luo Fu's Divine Beads of the Stable Sea.

It was none other than Master Yuanshi's primordial supreme treasure—the Pangu Banner.

This primordial supreme treasure, the Pangu Banner, was formed from the shattering of the primordial chaos treasure Pangu Axe, which alone proves its immense power.

Throughout the Primordial World, only three primordial supreme treasures were publicly known.

Other spiritual treasures might rival the power of primordial supreme treasures, but they could not be called such.

For example, the Four Swords of Zhu Xian in Saint Tongtian's possession were no weaker than primordial supreme treasures, yet those four swords were not primordial supreme treasures.

Now, Master Yuanshi had actually brought forth this primordial supreme treasure, the Pangu Banner.

This alone proves that Master Yuanshi's preaching today was delivered with full effort, holding nothing back.
