Chapter 239

But the time required is not just a tiny bit like now—it requires a long period.

After all, along the way, Luo Fu might still take many detours.

Now that he has the knowledge of predecessors, Luo Fu can avoid genuine detours and major pitfalls.

This allows Luo Fu to save sufficient time on the path to becoming a strong one.

Precisely because of this, Luo Fu currently seeks more knowledge systems of the Primordial World.

Nowadays, apart from the lofty Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the legacies of the Three Pure Ones and others placed in the Primordial World are the most top-tier.

Moreover, unlike other sages, the Three Pure Ones were originally born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit and inherently inherited a portion of Pangu the Great God's legacy.

This point, even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun cannot match.

Under the circumstance of being near Mount Kunlun, Luo Fu naturally would not let go of such an opportunity.

Master Yuanshi's Great Dao legacy enabled Luo Fu to achieve astonishing advancement over these ten years.

This was not merely the result of his Heaven's Dao-level comprehension.

It was the union of both.

Otherwise, in just ten years, Luo Fu's advancement would not have been so rapid.

With only Heaven's Dao-level comprehension and no other aids, Luo Fu's strength would have required time to grow.

Afterwards, Luo Fu left his own Dao hall, Mount Yunlong, and headed toward Laozi's Dao hall, Bajing Palace.

Bajing Palace, as a sage's Dao hall, occupies a mountain peak no less magnificent than Biyou Palace, occupied by Luo Fu's teacher, Saint Tongtian.

Standing before the mountain range where Bajing Palace lies.

One could see streams of spiritual energy light continuously emerging.

A glimmer of crystalline light appeared in Luo Fu's eyes—he could even see the sprawling spiritual energy divine veins below.

These divine veins ran through the earth, with their largest branches extending in two directions.

One toward the main peak of Mount Kunlun, where Yuxu Palace lies, and the other toward Biyou Palace.

Clearly, these were the Dao halls of Master Yuanshi and Saint Tongtian.

In short, the three mountain peaks occupied by the sages were the most spiritually abundant veins of Mount Kunlun.

The three spiritual veins formed a cycle.

They were mutually reinforcing each other.

Previously, when Luo Fu came to Yuxu Palace, he could not perceive any mystery, but now Luo Fu could discern a little.

Just as Luo Fu was about to enter the mountain range and head toward Laozi's Dao hall, Bajing Palace.

A white light shot out rapidly from within.

Soon, the white light landed before Luo Fu—it was a young man dressed in a Dao robe, appearing utterly ordinary.

The aura emanating from him resembled that of Sage Laozi.

This young man was precisely Laozi's direct disciple, Xuan Du.

To Luo Fu, though Xuan Du was also human, the two had had little interaction.

As primordial humans, when Nüwa created them, humanity was divided into many tribes; Xuan Du's tribe was not Luo Fu's tribe.

Thus, although Luo Fu and Xuan Du had some contact, their overall interaction remained minimal.

Even after Luo Fu became a disciple of the Jie Sect, it remained so.

Perhaps in Xuan Du's eyes, Luo Fu back then was merely an ordinary Jie Sect disciple.

Yet no one expected that this human had now become the foremost among the younger generation of all three sects.

"Senior Xuan Du, I never expected you would come out to greet me—your junior is deeply honored," Luo Fu bowed to Xuan Du.

"Haha, Luo Fu, this is what a senior should do," Xuan Du laughed. "When you broke through to Jin Xian not long ago, I was still in seclusion and did not offer congratulations."

"Senior, you jest," Luo Fu shook his head. "Back then, my strength meant nothing on Mount Kunlun."

"Junior," Xuan Du studied Luo Fu. "I sense no Jin Xian aura from you—your strength must be extraordinary, no wonder you defeated Blasting Guang Chengzi and the others of the Chan Sect."

"Junior was merely lucky," Luo Fu smiled.

Seeing Luo Fu's humility, Xuan Du said no more.

"Junior, come with me—our teacher has been waiting in Bajing Palace for quite some time."

Bajing Palace.

Luo Fu followed Xuan Du slowly inside; compared to Yuxu Palace, Bajing Palace was far quieter.

This was because Laozi had few disciples, resulting in such an atmosphere.

Deep within the Dao hall, Xuan Du soon stopped.

"Junior Luo Fu, our teacher is just ahead—I will not enter," Xuan Du said solemnly. "I hope you gain the harvest you desire."

"Thank you, senior," Luo Fu bowed, then slowly stepped through the open door before him.

From outside, the interior appeared profoundly deep, its contents invisible.

Compared to the outside.

It was entirely like two different worlds.

Entering the chamber.

Luo Fu felt the overwhelming presence of the Great Dao; at the center of this realm, that figure seemed fused with the entire universe.

Compared to Master Yuanshi's aura, Sage Laozi's aura leaned more toward the natural Way.

Streams of chaotic energy diffused around Sage Laozi.

Within the chaotic energy floated a Taiji pattern of yin and yang, surrounded by myriad rays of auspicious light and thousands of propitious colors, with Great Dao maxims circling it.

Threads of five-colored radiance seemed capable of suppressing the Infinite Worlds.

This was none other than one of the primordial supreme treasures—the Taiji Map.

It is likewise one of the three supreme treasures transformed from the Pangu Axe in the past.

Whether in defense or in attack, the Taiji Diagram is incomparably powerful.

Moreover, the Taiji Diagram can transform into a white jade golden bridge, connecting the power of the Heavenly Dao.

In terms of profundity, it is in no way inferior to the Pangu Banner that Luo Fu had seen before.

Of course, the Chaos Bell wielded by the Demon race's Donghuang Taiyi is also a primordial supreme treasure no less than the Pangu Banner.

It's just that in the hands of a Qu-Saint, it naturally could not unleash might like that of a Saint.

Perhaps only a Saint can truly erupt the power of a primordial supreme treasure.

"Disciple Luo Fu pays respects to Uncle-Master Taiqing." Luo Fu stepped forward and immediately bowed with reverence.

The Saint before him was the most powerful and the most mysterious among the Three Pure Ones.

Looking across the history of the future Investiture of the Gods Era, it is enough to demonstrate the terror of Taiqing Saint.

"Mm, not bad, not bad." Laozi turned around, his deep, fathomless eyes settling on Luo Fu.

The fact that Luo Fu had broken through to Taiyi Jin Xian was naturally seen through by Laozi at a glance.

Regarding this, Luo Fu did not conceal his breakthrough strength.

Yuanshi Tianzun and his own Master Tongtian Jiaozhu both already know.

"However…" Laozi's brow furrowed slightly.

Although he had no intention of probing Luo Fu's fate, the Saint aura entwined around Luo Fu's fate was something Laozi could sense.

It contained not only Junior Brother Tongtian's power, but also Junior Brother Yuanshi's power within it.

When did his own Junior Brother Yuanshi become so good to a disciple of the Jie Sect?

In the past.

His Junior Brother had always regarded Jie Sect disciples as furred, armored, wet-born, egg-hatched creatures, looking down on them in every way.

"Luo Fu…" Laozi set aside the doubts in his heart and said in a deep voice, "Previously when you listened to the Dao at Junior Brother Yuanshi's place, was ten years truly enough to digest those Great Daos?"
