Chapter 244

On the other hand, a Saint is the strongest expert in the Primordial World, and the role such an expert's Dao lecture plays in a Saint's growth is immense.

Back then, when Ancestor Hongjun gave his Dao lecture, it benefited every living being in the Primordial World.

It directly raised the overall power level of the Primordial World by quite a lot.

Before Ancestor Hongjun gave his Dao lecture, there weren't many quasi-Saint experts in the Primordial World.

If one wanted to become a quasi-Saint expert, without sufficient inheritance, how could one possibly succeed?

At that time, only beings like Long Feng and Beginning Qilin, who each possessed their own inheritances, managed to break through and become quasi-Saint experts.

And Ancestor Hongjun's Dao lecture could be said to have popularized the Primordial World's overall Great Dao inheritance system, giving many beings the hope of breaking through to quasi-Saint.

Precisely because of this, after the Dao Ancestor's lecture, the overall strength level of Primordial beings also showed explosive growth.

Not only did the number of quasi-Saint experts increase.

Beings at early stage realms like Great Luo Jin Xian and Taiyi Jin Xian were also in a state of explosive growth.

This alone is enough to show the importance of a Saint's Dao lecture.

But ordinary beings also cannot listen to the Dao constantly, as it has certain effects on their souls.

What's more, if one listens to the Dao too much, while the soul is affected, one's path of the Great Dao will also be restricted.

This is also why the Shengrenbu Society does not lecture the Dao too much to their direct disciples.

Moreover, if one were to speak of it, raising one's strength solely through Dao lectures also has an enormous impact on the future.

At this moment, seeing Luo Fu's poor condition, Saint Tongtian would show such concern.

"Teacher, it's nothing." Luo Fu shook his head. "Before, when I was at Martial Uncle Yuanshi's place, I had the same feeling. I'll just cultivate a little when the time comes and I'll be fine."

"Good." Saint Tongtian nodded. "Luo Fu, your teacher believes in you. If you wish to come to your teacher's place to listen to the Dao, you may do so at any time. Don't force yourself."

"Thank you, Teacher." Luo Fu said.

How could Saint Tongtian and the other two Saints present know that everything before their eyes was merely an act put on by Luo Fu?

Possessing Heavenly Dao-level comprehension, even a Saint could not see through any of Luo Fu's truth.

Not to mention that because of Saint Tongtian and Master Yuanshi's concealment of Luo Fu's fate, Luo Fu did not reveal even the slightest bit.

In the past, when Luo Fu only possessed Hunyuan Great Luo level comprehension, if a Saint examined carefully, they could still spot some clues.

But now, with Luo Fu's comprehension reaching Heavenly Dao level—that is, the so-called Hunyuan Great Luo Wuji Jin Xian—for a Saint to detect anything in this regard...

... would be an extremely difficult matter.

One can only say that the best chance to discover Luo Fu's situation has already been lost.

How could the Saints know that Luo Fu's comprehension would, along with his breakthrough in strength, undergo such a tremendous leap in improvement?

If this matter were spoken aloud, no one would believe it.

This is no longer the normal pattern for living beings.

And now, the display of Luo Fu's Hunyuan Great Luo level comprehension, while shocking the Three Pure Ones, was also just right.

In this way, independently reaching the orthodox Hunyuan Great Luo has become a hope.

But it has not yet caused the Three Pure Ones and other Saints to have any other additional thoughts.

"Teacher, two Martial Uncles, then this disciple will take his leave first." Luo Fu bowed and said.

"Go." The three Saints—Saint Tongtian, Master Yuanshi, and Laozi—nodded.

Watching Luo Fu vanish from this heaven and earth, Laozi said softly, "Since the two junior brothers have concealed Luo Fu's fate, this senior brother will also conceal Luo Fu's fate a bit. I hope Luo Fu can succeed."

Luo Fu's performance also gave Laozi some hope.

"This junior brother will thank Senior Brother on Luo Fu's behalf." Saint Tongtian bowed and said.

"It's nothing." Laozi waved his hand. "Luo Fu has accepted the Dao lectures from the three of us. In a sense, he is not merely Saint Tongtian's disciple, but a disciple of our Three Pure Ones."

"Exactly, a disciple of the Three Pure Ones." Master Yuanshi also agreed and said.

If he thought of Luo Fu as his own disciple and watched Luo Fu grow, then the displeasure in Master Yuanshi's heart would vanish.

Although he looked down on those of fur and armor.

Luo Fu was clearly not among that category.

"I hope that in the future, Luo Fu can become the true number one person of the Xuan Sect." Laozi said with a smile.

"Senior Brother, what if Luo Fu's strength surpasses yours in the future?" Saint Tongtian chuckled.

Regarding Laozi's words, Saint Tongtian did not refute.

Although Luo Fu was his disciple, having accepted the complete Dao lectures from Laozi and Master Yuanshi meant that to a certain extent he had accepted the Great Dao inheritance of these two Saints.

Calling him a true inheritor of the mantle would not be wrong.

This is also why the relationship between Laozi and Master Yuanshi and Saint Tongtian is so good now.

The Three Pure Ones are united against outsiders.

If it were the Investiture of the Gods Era, when the Three Pure Ones had split, Luo Fu wanting to listen to the Dao from those two Saints would not have had even the slightest possibility.

"Surpass me in the future." Laozi said with a smile. "Junior Brother, if that were the case, I would naturally congratulate Luo Fu. However, to surpass, it would mean surpassing you, Junior Brother. This senior brother still has great confidence in his own strength."

"..." At this moment, Saint Tongtian could not speak.

It seemed he had talked himself into a corner.

Setting aside the conversation among the Three Pure Ones, after Luo Fu left Laozi's small heaven and earth, he very soon met Xuandu.

Seeing Luo Fu appear, Xuandu's expression also slightly startled.

Looking at Xuandu's expression, Luo Fu's heart stirred. "Senior Brother Xuandu, did this junior brother only spend a very short time inside Martial Uncle's place?"

Back then at Master Yuanshi's place, Luo Fu had experienced the same thing, so seeing Xuandu waiting here, he had this question.

"That's right." Xuandu nodded. "It seems Teacher manipulated time during the lecture, so as far as I'm concerned, junior brother, only a brief instant has passed. But as for you, junior brother, I'm afraid it wasn't the same."

"Yes." Luo Fu responded. "This time at Martial Uncle's place, I truly gained a great deal."

This time, the Dao of the Saints was enough to push Luo Fu's accumulation forward by a great step.

Possessing Heavenly Dao-level comprehension, Luo Fu was fully capable of taking his own strength a step further.

Now, among the Three Pure Ones, only at his own teacher Saint Tongtian's place had Luo Fu not yet heard the complete Great Dao inheritance.

"Mm, then I wish Junior Brother an early breakthrough to Taiyi Jin Xian." Xuandu said with a smile.

The Tri-Sect Competition of over a dozen years ago.

Luo Fu's physical body was very powerful, but his own cultivation base was only at Mid Stage Jin Xian — this point was also known to everyone in Mount Kunlun.

Although, because of the nature of Luo Fu's cultivation method, Xuandu could not see through how strong Luo Fu actually was.

But in a dozen-odd years, at most he should only have reached Late Stage Jin Xian.

One must know that other Saints' personal disciples, such as Daoist Duobao and Guang Chengzi, when they broke through from Mid Stage Jin Xian to late stage back then, also spent a very long period of time doing so.

"Taiyi Jin Xian." Luo Fu smiled. "Senior Brother, I have already broken through to Taiyi Jin Xian."

"Broken through to Taiyi Jin Xian." Xuandu's expression carried shock.

How could one break through from Mid Stage Jin Xian to Taiyi Jin Xian in just a dozen-odd years?

What Xuandu did not know was that Luo Fu had already broken through to Taiyi Jin Xian a full ten years earlier.

But no matter the circumstances, it was enough to cause Xuandu tremendous shock.

Was this the talent of the foremost person of the Three Sects?

In the end, this eldest disciple of the Human Sect sent Luo Fu off in a dazed expression, then immediately returned to the Eight Scenes Palace.

"Xuandu." Supreme Pure Saint Laozi looked at his disciple's state and said in a heavy voice, "Are you shocked by Luo Fu's performance?"

"Yes." Xuandu hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Is Luo Fu's talent really that formidable?"

"Formidable?" Laozi's eyes carried a gleam. "Xuandu, Luo Fu's talent can no longer be described as merely formidable — he is already no longer an object that personal disciples like you Saints' disciples can chase after."

"Primordial Chaos Daluo — that may well be the终点 that Luo Fu is capable of reaching."

"Primordial Chaos Daluo?" Xuandu, upon hearing this, was even more shaken beyond words.

Regarding the words spoken by his teacher, Xuandu naturally would not harbor any doubt.

It was precisely this that caused Xuandu even greater shock.

For personal disciples like them Saints' disciples, if they could reach the level of a Quasi-Saint powerhouse, that would already be the limit.

Previously he had learned from his teacher's mouth that, in the present heaven and earth, wishing to prove the Dao and become a Heavenly Dao Saint was a difficulty greater than what they had faced in the past.

Of course, difficulty did not mean impossibility.

The Great Dao is fifty; the Heavenly Derivation is forty-nine; the one that escapes.

Even the Primordial World, with its perfectly complete Heavenly Dao rules, could not operate at a hundred percent.

It was precisely because of this that those who transcend fate were born.

This was the "one that escapes" belonging to the world.

Originally possessing max-level comprehension, Luo Fu had also at that time become the world's "one that escapes."
