Chapter 241

Moreover, both Saints had concealed their own fates from Luo Fu.

This made it nearly impossible for Laozi to know.

Unless one actively calculated Luo Fu's fate and general circumstances.

Thus, Laozi could not avoid Tongtian Jiaozhu, so the Saint would not recklessly calculate Luo Fu's fate.

Therefore, even if Luo Fu accepted the Saint's Dao, Laozi remained completely unaware.

To Laozi, perhaps Luo Fu had merely accepted a certain portion of Master Yuanshi's Great Dao inheritance.

Perhaps Luo Fu had performed exceptionally well, reaching the Great Luo Jinxian's Dao inheritance.

But to fully digest the Great Luo Jinxian inheritance, even ten years by normal reckoning would be insufficient.

This was why the Taiqing Saint had asked these questions.

Laozi, the foremost of the Three Pure Ones, still wished Luo Fu well.

As the head of Renjiao Sect, Laozi naturally held a certain fondness for Luo Fu, this human.

"Thank you, Elder Brother, your disciple is ready," said Luo Fu.

"Good…" Laozi nodded. "Since Luo Fu is ready, Elder Brother will not waste words."

"Thank you, Elder Brother," Luo Fu replied.

"Boom…"

Immediately, as if boundless Dao shattered across heaven and earth, boundless Dao mysteries appeared one by one before Luo Fu.

At this moment, compared to when Luo Fu had listened to Dao before Master Yuanshi.

Now, comprehending the Dao inheritance taught by the Taiqing Saint was incomparably easier.

And the Taiqing Saint was expounding his own Dao inheritance.

The Three Pure Ones, though all born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit and sharing a common origin, had each forged distinct paths.

Luo Fu could feel this more thoroughly as he listened to the Dao.

With Tian Dao-level comprehension, even if Luo Fu was not absorbing his own Dao inheritance, he could rapidly assimilate it into his own power.

Generally, those who were the Saints' direct disciples.

In the early stages of their strength, they advanced step by step according to the Saint's Dao system.

Only when those direct disciples reached Great Luo, or even the Peerless Saint realm, could they carve out their own Dao systems from the Saint's framework.

This was like Daoist Duobao.

Even after becoming the Buddha of Fomen, his Xuan Sect cultivation base underwent earth-shattering changes.

That was Daoist Duobao's chosen new path.

It was likely a synthesis of Tongtian Jiaozhu's Dao and the Western Saints' Dao inheritance.

Completely abandoning the Tongtian inheritance.

From Luo Fu's perspective, Daoist Duobao could not have done it.

That would be destroying one's foundation and starting over in arduous cultivation.

Not to mention Daoist Duobao—any primordial divine being would find this nearly impossible.

Of course, if it were the current Luo Fu, he could accomplish this entirely.

But he had no need to do so.

When Luo Fu possessed Hunyuan Great Luo-level comprehension, he never fully followed the Saints' Dao; instead, he absorbed and digested their Dao teachings into his own Dao system.

Now, with Tian Dao-level comprehension, transforming the Saints' Dao into his own Dao knowledge was even easier.

Thus,

Luo Fu, relying on Tian Dao-level comprehension, continuously absorbed and comprehended the Taiqing Saint's Dao teachings.

Slowly, Laozi's eyes revealed a hint of astonishment.

As time passed, he had already reached the Peerless Saint Dao; originally, he had assumed Great Luo Dao was Luo Fu's limit.

But now, it was clear that this disciple of Tongtian's soul and comprehension must have reached an unimaginable level.

To achieve this at the Taiyi Jinxian realm.

After more time passed.

Laozi's gaze was filled with profound shock—he had nearly finished expounding the Peerless Saint Dao.

Yet in Laozi's view, this did not seem to be Luo Fu's limit.

Was he about to expound the Saint Dao?

Since this Dao lecture had not stopped at his request, Laozi naturally would not halt it first.

This was just like Master Yuanshi.

"To what extent does Luo Fu's talent truly reach?" At this moment, Laozi could not help but entertain a thought to uncover Luo Fu's secrets.

Was this why Tongtian and Master Yuanshi had veiled Luo Fu's fate?

Laozi unconsciously formed this thought.

"Ha ha, Elder Brother, it seems you too are astonished by Luo Fu's performance." A laugh came, followed by Saint power surging from outside.

Laozi did not stop it, for it was his younger brother's power.

Before Laozi's eyes appeared his two younger brothers: Master Yuanshi and Tongtian.

They had surely been waiting outside for a long time, knowing Luo Fu would come here to listen to Dao.

As for why Xuan Du felt nothing of this, that was perfectly normal.

If a Saint did not wish to be detected, even if standing directly before a living being, that being could not perceive them.

It made both parties seem as if in the same Dimensional World.

"So it is Master Yuanshi. It seems Luo Fu's time listening to Dao with you was extraordinary," Laozi smiled faintly.

"Of course it's not ordinary," Master Yuanshi whispered. "Senior Brother Laozi, do you know how far I went when I taught Luo Fu?"

"How far?" Laozi gazed at Luo Fu now.

The path of the Quasi-Saint layer—the other's comprehension—appeared to be no issue.

Then.

"A portion of the Saint's Dao?" That was Laozi's estimation of Luo Fu.

Know this: the Saint's Dao and all prior Dao transmissions are entirely two different concepts.

It is like the difference between a Saint and a non-Saint.

Thus, even a portion of the Saint's Dao is far more difficult to comprehend than all prior Dao transmissions Luo Fu has received.

When Ancestor Hongjun taught the Dao, those three thousand guests in the Purple Cloud Palace were nearly all Quasi-Saints.

Yet even so,

among those Saints, very few could truly understand the Saint's Dao Ancestor Hongjun taught.

Some understood only part; some understood nothing at all. As for the Three Pure Ones, born from Pangu's Primordial Spirit, their talent and comprehension were flawless—they heard every word of Ancestor Hongjun's Dao from beginning to end.

Yet even so,

the Three Pure Ones still had great doubts about many parts; they mostly memorized by rote.

Even then, the Three Pure Ones, born from Pangu, never became Saints by relying on Ancestor Hongjun's teachings—they became Saints through the merit power of Heaven and Earth.

Thus, their Dao serves only as a reference for beings seeking to advance further.

Yet to forge a new path from the Saint's Dao—how extraordinarily difficult.

The future Buddha, Tathagata, and now the Jie Sect's top disciple, Daoist Duobao, might be among the few.

As for the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, they likely never went beyond the Dao transmission passed down by Master Yuanshi.

Thus, for Luo Fu, currently at the Supreme Golden Immortal realm, to perceive even a portion of the Saint's Dao—

is already a very high estimation from Laozi.

Of course, this estimation came only because Laozi had seen Luo Fu's prior performance; otherwise, he would never have held such a view.

After all, even for a genius, a Supreme Golden Immortal comprehending the Great Luo transmission is an extraordinary feat across the entire Honghuang realm.

Indeed, it rivals even their own pasts as primordial divine beings.

Yet Luo Fu's current performance still surpassed Laozi's expectations—he had fully heard the entire Quasi-Saint Dao.

Now, according to Junior Brother Yuanshi, the other may have even heard part of the Saint's Dao.

"A portion of the Saint's Dao," Master Yuanshi offered a cryptic smile. "Senior Brother, you are mistaken."

"Mistaken?" Laozi blinked. "Then Luo Fu did not comprehend the Saint's Dao?"

According to Laozi's calculation, the Quasi-Saint Dao seemed no problem for Luo Fu.

Could it be that, when Luo Fu listened to Master Yuanshi in the past, his power had not yet reached that level, so he stopped at the Quasi-Saint Dao?
