Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

Chaos Void, boundless and infinite.

Today, this eternal darkness is illuminated by an unprecedented grand sight.

An enormous, dazzling river composed of countless runes of the Great Tao emerged from the depths of the void, traversing the universe and lighting up billions of miles of chaos.

Within the river, stars are born and destroyed, there are images of the reincarnation of all things, and endless Dao Rhythms flow joyfully like spirits.

The next moment.

Gu Qingfeng stepped out from the Mystic Sky Immortal Realm, instantly descending to the core of the Chaos Void, standing atop that river of the Great Tao.

He walked leisurely, with lotuses blooming in the void beneath his feet, each step giving rise to a blossoming Golden Lotus that supported him.

Behind him, a myriad of auspicious purple auras stretched for millions of miles, following closely like a faithful escort.

Within the purple aura, the shadows of dragons and phoenixes spiral and cry, auspicious beasts like qilins tread on clouds, endless auspicious signs continuously emerge, transforming this lifeless chaos into an ancient immortal realm.

Gu Qingfeng sat cross-legged at the center of the river of the Great Tao, with the flowing Tao Laws beneath naturally converging into an enormous, intricately carved Thirty-Six Grade Chaos Lotus Platform bearing reincarnation Dao Patterns.

And behind him, the intense merit golden light erupted, akin to nine radiant suns suddenly rising.

The nine wheels of Merit Golden Suns shone across the universe, driving away the chaotic mist; wherever their light reached, evil spirits retreated, bringing peace to the minds of all cultivators.

The vast heavenly might, like an invisible tide centered on Gu Qingfeng, spread in all directions, engulfing all noise and suppressing all chaos.

In the face of this supreme heavenly might, fused with his own cultivation, Dao manifestation, and overwhelming merit, even ancient beings concealed deep in the chaos felt their spirits waver, daring not to show any disrespect.

"Such intense merit golden light!"

Seeing those nine wheels of Merit Golden Wheel akin to the Divine Brilliance Great Sun, many strong practitioners were secretly shocked.

Human Dao merit is something that anyone who has slain an Evil God may possess to some extent, but it's not much.

Those cultivators dedicated to slaying Evil Gods and saving the Human Clan tend to have relatively more merit.

But even so, compared to the nine wheels of Merit Great Sun behind Gu Qingfeng, they fall short by more than an order of magnitude.

To be precise.

Even a single wisp of merit golden light emanating from one of the Great Sun of merit would be an unimaginable abundance of merit for the vast majority of cultivators.

If they could obtain it,

it would be an extraordinary opportunity for themselves.

...

"I, Gu Qingfeng, today in this Chaos Void, will lecture on the Longevity Path and expound the principles of the Heavenly Venerate.

Any who are fated, regardless of background or cultivation, are welcome to come and listen!"

Gu Qingfeng slowly spoke; his voice was not loud, yet like the heavenly sound of the Great Tao, it contained a profound rhythm that pointed directly to the source and traveled clearly through billions of miles of void, even penetrating layers of space, echoing across countless Immortal Domains.

No matter where any being was, as long as they felt it in their heart, they could hear this Tao sound summoning.

In a moment.

Immortal Domains all around trembled, numerous streams of flowing light, like fireflies guided by an unseen power, rushed into the Chaos Void.

Also, many ancient ones long dormant in the depths of chaos were stirred by this vast aura and heavenly sound of the Great Tao and came upon hearing the news.

"Greetings, Heavenly Venerate!"

"Junior greets the Heavenly Venerate—"

Any cultivator who arrived in the Chaos Dojo area, regardless of their usual status, upon seeing that magnificent figure seated on the Tao Lotus Platform, with nine wheels of Merit Great Sun behind them, could not help but be filled with awe, bowing and saluting with the utmost respect, addressing him as "Heavenly Venerate."

At this moment.

In the eyes of all beings, Gu Qingfeng had transcended the identity of Mystic Sky Immortal Emperor, becoming more like a supreme Heavenly Venerate guiding the masses, exploring the ultimate Tao, and explaining the mysteries of longevity for the Human Clan.

Whether ancient Heavenly Venerates or newly ascended cultivators to the Emperor Realm, they all, like pilgrims, found their places and quietly sat cross-legged.

The vast Chaos Void was filled with an innumerable number of cultivators, densely packed like grains of sand on the Ganges, yet there was no noise or clamor, only the heavenly sound of the Great Dao quietly reverberating, alongside the suppressed and excited heartbeat of countless cultivators.

Gu Qingfeng sat steadily atop the Tao Lotus Platform, his expression calm and peaceful, and in the opening and closing of his eyes, it seemed as if the universe was being born and destroyed, and the cycle of reincarnation was turning.

He did not directly expound on the profound and unfathomable Longevity Path and Netherworld mysteries from the beginning, but rather, with a return-to-simplicity approach, started speaking from the very initial and basic stages of cultivation.

"The beginning of cultivation lies in tempering the bones and muscles, nurturing the blood and Qi, and sensing the spiritual mechanisms of heaven and earth..."

As his voice filled with the True Intent of the Great Tao slowly emerged, phenomena appeared again in the void.

Countless golden lotuses, formed from pure Dao Rhythms and heavenly Immortal Qi, fluttered down like snowflakes.

These Golden Lotuses of the Great Tao, when falling into the bodies of those listening, could cleanse physical impurities, purify their blood and qi, and even remedy some foundational blemishes left by earlier cultivation, bringing immense joy to many cultivators.

Those cultivators capable of crossing the chaos physically to reach the core area of the dojo were at least beings of the Emperor Realm with Tao validation.

As for those of the so-called Saint Realm, they had no place to stand here and could at most capture a faint echo of the heavenly sound of the Great Tao from millions of miles away in specific regions.
