Chapter 7 The Favor of the Primordial Celestial Venerable
On the banks of the Yangshui River, Mo Yuan lay on a futon, his body stiff, his eyes filled with shock, unable to calm down for a long time.
He needed to spend time and energy to digest Master Yu Ding's words.
"Please wait a moment, fellow Daoist, so I can think this through carefully. My thoughts are a bit jumbled right now..."
Mo Yuan first spoke apologetically to Master Yu Ding, and then quietly explained the whole story and the profound meaning behind his words.
Within the primordial world, without a supreme treasure to conceal the secrets of heaven, he would be like a transparent person in front of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, having no secrets whatsoever.
The analysis of the malevolent energy and obscure rules of Qilin Cliff should not be enough to bring him into the sight of Yuanshi Tianzun. Therefore, there is only one possibility: Yuanshi Tianzun has discerned the secrets of heaven or some kind of cause and effect.
Therefore, Yuanshi Tianzun used Yuding Zhenren's help to bestow this enlightenment futon upon him. At the same time, during the period when he was refining the evil energy of heaven and earth and the obscure rules, Yuanshi Tianzun secretly intervened and refined that demon core into a mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Water Yuan Pearl.
The demon core of the Xuan Gu Demon King was insignificant, but the Primordial Heavenly Venerable was able to use his own resources and the art of weapon crafting to refine it into a Water Element Pearl, which shows how much he cared about him.
My thoughts were in turmoil, and my consciousness was surging.
Mo Yuan finally confirmed a fact: he, who was only at the peak of the Xuanxian realm and was burdened with the karma of killing, cause and effect, and the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, had now gained the attention of the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
According to Master Yuding, only disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun can obtain the Enlightenment Futon, and now that this futon is in his hands, it means that Yuanshi Tianzun has the idea of taking him under his wing.
Mo Yuan was deeply moved, and his eyes even became moist.
Since transmigrating to the prehistoric world, this is the first time he has known what it feels like to be the center of attention. As long as he does not defy the heavens or disobey the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he will be safe and sound in the future.
Of course, a certain degree of low-key demeanor and prudent caution are still necessary.
The Demon Clan's Heavenly Court, the Witch Clan, and the Purple Mansion Continent's Immortal Court are all formidable opponents.
Even though he caught the eye of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, he ultimately did not establish a master-disciple relationship or possess the status of a disciple of the Chan Sect. Therefore, if he offended these three forces, his death would be in vain.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, have you thought this through?"
Master Yu Ding looked at Mo Yuan with great interest, a slight smile playing on his lips.
He observed Mo Yuan's reaction and could see the deep respect and gratitude Mo Yuan felt for Yuanshi Tianzun, as well as Mo Yuan's cautiousness and unwavering determination in his pursuit of the Dao.
In Yu Ding Zhenren's eyes, Mo Yuan had a profound background and excellent comprehension. Even if he was temporarily bound by the shackles of killing, karma, and the Heavenly Dao, he was still a dragon hiding in the abyss, and there would be a day when he would soar to the sky.
This person is qualified to become a disciple of the Chan Sect and can also become a disciple of the Grand Master Yuanshi Tianzun.
Upon hearing this, Mo Yuan quickly replied, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yu Ding, for helping me resolve my doubts. I will remember the kindness of the sage, never forget my original intention of respecting Heaven and seeking the Dao in accordance with the trend, and contribute my modest efforts to the development of the prehistoric world."
Say it!
Mo Yuan stood up, facing the direction of Kunlun Mountain, and knelt down to kowtow in one smooth motion.
Neither the Enlightenment Futon nor the Water Element Pearl were things that a mere ant at the peak of the Profound Immortal realm like him could possess. However, because of the existence of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he obtained these two treasures effortlessly.
In the past, he would have refused the enlightenment futon and the water elemental pearl, but after learning everything, he first devoutly bowed and worshipped at the Taoist temple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, and then accepted it with a clear conscience.
If he were to refuse the treasure bestowed upon him by his future master, wouldn't that be disobeying his master's orders?
"This junior, Mo Yuan, thanks the Sage for bestowing this treasure!"
With a shout, Mo Yuan kowtowed for the last time.
"Fellow Daoist Mo Yuan, please collect the Water Element Pearl first!"
Master Yu Ding reminded Mo Yuan.
"Excellent!"
Mo Yuan nodded slightly and walked towards the place where the demon core was placed. He used his magic to part the river water there, and a pearl that emitted a light blue divine light and had a rich aura of Ren water essence floating in the air was seen.
The acquired restrictions were perfectly natural, and the spiritual energy of the water flowed continuously.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded.
Three water dragons, formed from the essence of water spirit and Ren water, flew out from the Water Element Pearl, their sharp and vast aura causing Mo Yuan to feel a little uneasy.
These three water dragons are definitely not just simple energy condensation; they contain true dragon might. Once unleashed, all demon beings with dragon blood will tremble in fear, as the powerful bloodline suppression will weaken their combat power.
"Imperial Edict!"
With a slight movement of his magical power, Mo Yuan sent the three water dragons back into the Water Element Pearl. He then absorbed this mid-grade acquired spiritual treasure into his primordial spirit to nurture and gradually refine the acquired restrictions within it.
"If there is an opportunity, please convey my gratitude to the Sage on my behalf. I will cherish the Enlightenment Futon and the Water Element Pearl, and use them to do things that are beneficial to heaven and earth and all living beings."
"To be honest, I still feel like I'm in a dream. Now I can firmly believe that I haven't gone down the wrong path, and I will not become a rootless duckweed, helpless and alone in this vast world."
"I will cultivate diligently, striving to dissolve the karmic burdens of killing, karma, and the shackles of the Heavenly Dao through my own power as soon as possible. Only then will I be qualified to go to Kunlun Mountain to pay homage to the Sage!"
Mo Yuan bowed again to Master Yu Ding and spoke righteously.
The Twelve Golden Immortals, the Antarctic Immortal, and the White Crane Boy are all top-tier beings in terms of background, comprehension, and cultivation. The gap between him and them is too great, and he is not yet qualified to become their disciple.
Mo Yuan was not in a hurry about this. His plans for the future would not change much. He would always be focused on the Dao and improving his cultivation.
He finally witnessed firsthand how protective Yuanshi Tianzun was of his own.
Before even accepting any disciples, he issued a decree forbidding anyone from disturbing him and bestowed upon him two mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures. In any case, in his heart, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was the best sage.
"As for expressing your gratitude to Master, fellow Daoist, please wait until the time is right and you personally meet Master at the Jade Void Palace on Kunlun Mountain and say it to him in person!"
"As for other matters, I know you have your own plans, and I won't interfere too much. However, once you've finished dealing with the Qilin Cliff matter, Master's decree will be revoked, and then the disciples of the three sects will probably bother you frequently."
After Mo Yuan lay prostrate on the futon again, Master Yu Ding spoke gently.
Picking up the jade pot, Jade Cauldron Immortal personally filled Mo Yuan's cup with the finest nectar. The nectar in the cup was crystal clear and contained the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Thank you for reminding me, Fellow Daoist Yu Ding. I understand what to do."
"I'd like to propose a toast to you!"
With his magical power manifested in two hands, he picked up the jade cup and addressed Yu Ding Zhenren.
The two jade cups clinked together, and then the two drank them down in one gulp.
They looked at each other and both smiled happily.
Next, Master Yuding told Mo Yuan many things, including the main disciples of the three religions, the division of power in the prehistoric world and its current situation, as well as taboos that needed to be noted.
Mo Yuan listened with rapt attention, gaining a clearer and deeper understanding of the prehistoric world. He would feel more secure when traveling through the prehistoric world in the future.
"Only disciples of the Chan Sect can cultivate the Jade Purity Dao Method, so I cannot pass it on to you. However, I do know some of the most basic array formations, weapon crafting, and alchemy techniques, all of which are engraved on this jade slip."
Upon learning that Mo Yuan's inheritance lacked the most basic knowledge of array formation, weapon crafting, and alchemy, True Man Yu Ding did not hesitate to take out a jade slip and hand it over to Mo Yuan.
Among the disciples of the Chan Sect, his cultivation level may not be outstanding, but in terms of understanding various kinds of knowledge, even Guang Chengzi, the leader of the Twelve Golden Immortals, cannot compare.
"I'll accept it as a token of my respect."
The reshaping of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements formation contains the profound principles of formation.
With the jade slip given to him by Master Yu Ding, and after fully understanding the basics of array formations, he will be able to do this much more easily.
Furthermore, he obtained five phoenix feathers, the Xuan Gu Demon King's pair of bone wings, and other rare and precious treasures, which he could try to refine into spiritual treasures.
As for comprehending the Dao of alchemy, he doesn't have enough alchemy materials on hand, so he has to postpone it!
"Good, you've got the awareness!"
"If you encounter any trouble in the future, don't be polite with me! Just remember, we disciples of the Chan Sect neither cause trouble nor are we afraid of trouble. If you encounter any trouble, our Master will stand up for us."
"Cheer up, don't embarrass yourself!"
Master Yu Ding stood up and patted Mo Yuan on the shoulder.
Mo Yuan nodded emphatically; he would not bring shame upon the Chan Sect and the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
soon.
After bidding each other farewell, Yu Ding Zhenren was the first to leave the Yangshui Riverbank. Mo Yuan looked at the half-empty pot of fine wine and put it away along with the two jade cups and the jade table.
Save the money, spend it.
The jade pot, jade cup, and jade table are all extraordinary items, far beyond his current cultivation level and resources, so it's best not to waste them.
"The Enlightenment Futon can help me cultivate and comprehend the ultimate truth of the Heavenly Dao. When combined with the Purifying Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo, its effect will be doubled. It is undoubtedly an extremely important treasure, and I must keep it safe."
Mo Yuan looked at the meditation cushion, his mouth stretching almost to his ears.
The Enlightenment Futon and the Water Element Pearl solved his problem of shallow foundation, while the jade slip relieved his immediate crisis. More importantly, with the Chan Sect as his background, Mo Yuan would be much safer.
Mo Yuan was very glad that he made the right choice. He did not sit in a well and do nothing in Fenglin Continent, but took the risk to come to Qilin Cliff. Otherwise, he would not have been able to obtain so many opportunities.
Steady practice is good, but it doesn't mean being timid and cowardly, or staying in the temple and not going out.
And just like that, fate dealt him such a blow that he was almost completely dazed...
"Return to Qilin Cliff, cultivate the basics of array formation, and then reshape the Five Elements and Yin-Yang!"
"It's only a matter of time before Qilin Cliff becomes a blessed land for immortals!"
Mo Yuan looked up at the sky, a righteous spirit surging within his chest.
Concealing his aura and auspicious signs, Mo Yuan did not transform into a mangy dog this time. He simply made himself look more ordinary and did not change the appearance of the Mo Qilin.
There was no other way; Master Yuding had warned him to be more presentable and not lose face, so he couldn't just pay lip service to it!
Before catching the eye of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, he could make himself look a little shabby, but now, he needed to maintain the minimum prestige of a Qilin clan member and a future disciple of the Chan Sect.
The world may not know that he has gained the favor of Yuanshi Tianzun, but how could the disciples of Chanjiao, Renjiao, and Jiejiao not know about this?
Mo Yuan would never do anything that would damage the reputation of the Chan Sect and the Primordial Heavenly Lord!
