Chapter 19: The Sages Discourse

  Wuji was reviewing the situation of the Wuji realm when a sudden consciousness came to Wuji from the small world of Qian. It turned out that after the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the Wuji realm had grown to a certain extent, the Wuji realm would pass on this part of the five elements law to the master of the Wuji realm.

  The action of the Wuji boundary made Wuji extremely happy, and then he began to cultivate the Jiuzhuan Xuantong Jue. After that, Wuji started cultivating for several hundred years, but the effect was not obvious, and his cultivation only advanced from the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal to the middle stage of the early stage.

  The effect of practicing again is not obvious, and Wuji has been self-closed for nearly three thousand years. He decided to come out of the closure. The harvest of this closure is still pretty good. Although his cultivation is still in the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, his moral integrity has exceeded his cultivation and reached the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal. He has also refined more than half of the Yin-Yang Dryness and Kun Map, and all 24 Dinghai Divine Pearls have been fully refined. The Wuji Realm has developed very well, and its laws have been perfected to a certain extent.

  Wuji decided to leave the mountain, after leaving the mountain, he found that his teacher, Shifu, and fellow disciples' caves had not yet opened, realizing they were still in a state of closed cultivation. Wuji then decided to take a good tour of Mount Kunlun.

  A carefree and aimless wanderer, shuttling between the Kunlun Mountains, sees only a giant peak piercing the sky, with no idea how many thousands of miles high it is. The surrounding area is filled with auspicious clouds and mist, and there are thousands of cloud peaks that seem like spears and halberds. The steep cliffs are as if a peacock has spread its screen. Various rare flowers and auspicious grasses bloom in all seasons, and deep in the mountains, there are even immortal beasts roaming about. It is truly a scene from an immortal's home, this is Kunlun Mountain.

  On the top of Mount Kunlun, there are nine layers of walls, with a height of 90,000 miles, one hundred and fourteen steps, two feet six inches. On top, there is a wooden millet, its length is five zhang. The trees of pearls and jade, the tree of life, and the immortal tree are on its west side. The sandalwood king and the thousand good things are on its east side. The red jade tree is on its south side, and the green tree and the jasper tree are on its north side. There are 440 doors around it, with a distance of four li between each door, and nine courtyards, with a distance of five zhang and five chi between each courtyard. On the northwest corner, there is a jade well. The North Gate opens to receive the unending wind. The Leaning Palace, the Rotating Room, the County Garden, the Cool Breeze, and the Fan Tong are all in the middle of Mount Kunlun. The pool of the sparse garden has yellow water that flows slowly, and after circling three times, it returns to its origin, which is called the Elixir Water, drinking it will make one immortal. All the things from the fairy world are here, including the immortal tree, the immortal medicine, and the immortal water.

  The Kunlun Mountains are also divided into East Kunlun and West Kunlun. The West Kunlun is the gathering place for scattered immortals such as the Queen Mother of the West, while the East Kunlun is the Daoist temple of the Three Pure Ones. Although they share the same name "Kunlun", they are separated by a distance of ten thousand miles.

  Wuji spent a few years wandering in the Eastern Kunlun, traveling through its mountains, rivers and streams. At this time, the primordial spiritual energy of the Honghuang was dense, with thousands to tens of thousands of years old spiritual roots everywhere, and hundreds of thousands of years old ones could be seen frequently. Wuji saw that there were countless spiritual materials with thousands to tens of thousands of years of age everywhere, so he decided to move some of the primordial spiritual materials into the Wuji realm, in order to avoid the Wuji realm being too monotonous and enrich the small world of Qiankun.

  In these years, Wuji's good luck seems to have been used up. During this period, not a single congenital spiritual treasure was found, but many spiritual roots of thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of years were found, and some exceeding one million years were also found. The most important thing is that a congenital tea tree was found. Although the harvest is small, Wuji is still carefree and wandering around.

  Wuji was browsing through the Kunlun Mountains, and Wuji could clearly see that after the Three Pure Ones became saints and left the Three Pure Ones' family, it wouldn't be long before they parted ways. That's why Wuji definitely wanted to follow his teacher out of Xiyang Mountain. As a result, Wuji cherished this solo trip to the Kunlun Mountains extremely, but unfortunately, Wuji ended up bringing disaster to the Kunlun Mountains, and from then on, the Kunlun Mountains would never again see a spiritual root exceeding 100,000 years old.

  Just as Wuji was about to end this journey, he heard the transmission of his master Taiching Saint "Wuji, three people have already left the pass, now we will open our own saintly way, you can come to listen beside Sanqing Hall."

  Wuji heard the teacher's transmission and didn't dare to be slow, fearing he would miss this opportunity for the saint to lecture. He hastily flew towards the Three Pure Ones' Temple.

  Wuji entered the Sanqing Hall and saw two Shifu looking at him with strange expressions, while his master's expression remained unchanged. Unaware that his good deed had already been known to the three of them, Wuji also felt embarrassed and bowed to the upper seat teacher, Shifu, saying: "Disciple Wuji greets the teachers, Second Shifu, Third Shifu, Disciple knows he was wrong, please punish him."

  Taiqing Shenren said, "Since you have already acknowledged your mistake, I will punish you to reflect on yourself in your own cave after this lecture. You can come out when Kunlun Mountain produces a spiritual root of over 10,000 years again."

  Wuji heard the teacher's words and replied: "Disciple obeys." Then he sat down beside Xuandu, quietly waiting for the three seniors to expound on the Great Way.

  The Supreme Clarity Sage, being the eldest of the Three Clarities, first expounded on the Great Way of Supreme Clarity: "The Way that can be spoken is not the eternal Way; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Nameless is the origin of heaven and earth; the Named is the mother of all things. Therefore, always being without, one wishes to observe its subtlety; always being with, one wishes to observe its boundary. These two are the same in origin but differ in name, both called Mystery. The Mystery of Mysteries, the gateway to all wonders..."

  After the Supreme Clarity Saint finished speaking of his Great Way, the Jade Clarity Saint continued to speak of his Jade Clarity Great Way: "Before Heaven and Earth opened up, there was a thing that was mixed together, born before Heaven and Earth. Quiet and empty, standing alone without change, circulating everywhere without danger, it can be called the Mother of Heaven and Earth. I do not know its name, but forcibly call it Dao, and forcibly give it the name Great."

  The great is gone, the gone is far, the far is return. Therefore, the Way is great, Heaven is great, Earth is great, and Man is also great. In the domain there are four greatnesses, and the myriad creatures live in one of them. Man follows Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Way, the Way follows Nature...

  The Supreme Clarity Saint began to expound his own Supreme Clarity Great Dao: "What is called the Great Dao? It is lofty and has no above, it pulls and makes one look up, its above has no above, none can see its top. What is called the Great Dao? It is humble and has no below, it bends down and makes one examine closely, its below has no below, none can see its foundation. In the beginning there is no first, none can see its front. At the end there is no finality, none can see its back. The Great Dao gives birth to Heaven and Earth in its midst, Heaven and Earth have the ritual of high and low. In the midst of Heaven and Earth there are yin and yang, yin and yang have the number of beginning and end. One above one below, looking up and examining closely, can measure its mechanism. One beginning one end, calculating and deducing, can obtain its principle. By this reasoning, the Great Dao can be known. The Primordial Origin was divided at first to have the Primordial Beginning, in the midst of the Primordial Beginning there is the Primordial Nothingness, in the midst of the Primordial Nothingness there is the Primordial Emptiness, in the midst of the Primordial Emptiness there is the Primordial Void, in the midst of the Primordial Void there is the Primordial Substance..."

  The saint spoke the Tao, and nature was not the same as usual. Only when the teacher Taiching Saint, the Original Master Uncle, and the Heavenly Master Uncle expounded on the great Tao of the saints did the surroundings change: flowers bloomed in the sky, golden lotus flowers burst forth from the ground, and auspicious clouds converged from all directions, with strange phenomena occurring one after another.

  The Great Way is formless, the Great Way is extremely simple. In the ordinary, there are infinite mysteries, as the Three Pure Ones' mysterious and profound sounds continue to emerge from their mouths, causing Xuan Du and Wu Ji to become unknowingly enchanted.
