3: Preaching! Sudden enlightenment! Creating the Dharma! Understanding all dharmas!

“Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye...”

Gu Qingchen's eyes were deep and profound, and his face, which was as bright as the moon and as noble as the clear wind, seemed shrouded in a layer of mist.

In that instant, even Zhao Linger, who was beside him, felt a trace of unfamiliarity.

Life is impermanent.

His ordinary life in his previous incarnation was like morning dew, but now he was the most dazzling Prodigy of the Xuantian Holy Land!

“However...”

Gu Qingchen slightly raised an eyebrow, seemingly having suddenly thought of something amusing: “If there truly is a Child of Destiny in this world, then wouldn't my setup make me the Destined Great Villain?”

Powerful strength, extraordinary talent!

He even possessed a formidable and terrifying background and unmatched prestige!

Judging by his experience of reading countless books in his previous life, he was simply the perfect villain template.

“Tsk... I thought I would be the protagonist.”

Gu Qingchen's lips curved slightly, revealing a meaningful smile... “Huh?”

At the edge of the Preaching Platform, Lin Ruoyu saw this smile and excitedly shook Jiang Yourong's arm, saying, “I wasn't mistaken, was I!

Senior Brother Gu was just smiling at me, right?”

“Uh... maybe.”

Jiang Yourong was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.

Although she felt that Senior Brother Gu Qingchen's gaze seemed to have fallen more on herself.

But upon reflection, this was only her first time meeting Senior Brother Gu Qingchen; he didn't even know who she was, so how could he possibly be smiling at her?

“Lin Ruoyu, you are being too conceited.”

Jiang Yourong didn't say anything, but a female cultivator nearby couldn't stand it.

“Exactly, Senior Brother Gu was clearly smiling at me just now.”

“Give me a break, sister. You don't actually think that just because your admirers call you 'Fairy,' you really are a Fairy, do you?

You should look in a mirror; would Senior Brother Gu even look twice at you?”

“...”

Just as the noise was threatening to grow louder, Gu Qingchen, who was above the Preaching Platform, began to preach the Dao.

Jiang Yourong was surprised to find that the entire Preaching Platform instantly became silent.

Subsequently, the sound of the Dao, like a great bell, rang out. She had no mind for other thoughts and instantly became immersed in it, experiencing a feeling of Epiphany and losing herself!

This session of preaching the Dao lasted a full day and night!

Gu Qingchen began by discussing the most basic Body Refining, explaining profound principles in simple terms, and only stopped after reaching the Lingpo Realm.

Afterward, he spoke about the many Divine Abilities, Spells, combat secret techniques, and more within the Xuantian Holy Land.

Everyone on the Preaching Platform gained a great deal.

“Young Master, please have some tea!”

Seeing that her Young Master had preached the Dao for an entire day this time, Zhao Linger was extremely worried.

As soon as he stopped, she offered the jade ink tea she had prepared in advance.

This tea was a Heaven And Earth Treasure unique to the Xuantian Holy Land, possessing the effects of alleviating fatigue, calming the mind, focusing the spirit, and promoting enlightenment.

If Disciples in the Holy Land were stuck at a certain Cultivation Technique Bottleneck for a long time, they would usually choose to diligently accumulate Contribution Points.

After accumulating enough Contribution Points to exchange for jade ink tea, they would enter secluded cultivation to adjust their state, and once everything was ready, they would drink the jade ink tea to attempt to Breakthrough the Cultivation Technique Bottleneck.

The success rate was quite high!

Therefore, jade ink tea was also known as the Minor Dao Enlightenment Tea and was extremely precious.

However, since Gu Qingchen was the Reserve Holy Son of the Xuantian Holy Land, he had an endless supply of various rare resources, and this jade ink tea could only be considered an ordinary beverage to him.

He took the jade ink tea and drank it in one gulp. In that instant, his heart became clear, and he seemed to have gained some enlightenment.

Through this session of preaching the Dao, he had essentially reorganized everything he had learned in this life.

As the saying goes, reviewing the old brings new knowledge.

He gained new insights into his own path of Cultivation, his strength advanced further, and he vaguely perceived a mysterious and profound Concept of Profound Insight into All Laws!

This was the necessary path to stepping into the threshold of the Dongxuan Realm!

Furthermore, strange changes and connections seemed to be occurring between the thousands of powerful Spells and Heaven-Defying Divine Abilities he had learned.

He sat cross-legged upon the Preaching Platform, his white robes transcendent, his black hair fluttering, his physique radiant, surrounded by flashing divine lights!

Dense dao rhyme enveloped him, transforming into streams of light that manifested in thousands of forms, resembling Dragons and Phoenixes!

Even the entire Preaching Platform was affected, directly connecting to the great forces of Heaven and Earth. For a time, golden flowers descended from the sky and golden lotuses sprung from the earth, stretching across ten thousand square miles!

Against the backdrop of these Auspicious Signs, Gu Qingchen looked like a Heavenly God, a True Immortal!

“Hmm? Is Senior Brother Gu having another Epiphany?”

This commotion also woke up the many Disciples on the Preaching Platform.

They had all gained significant benefits from this session of preaching the Dao and were quietly organizing their insights.

But the commotion emanating from Gu Qingchen was truly astonishing.

“Auspicious Dragon and Phoenix, Myriad Manifestations... these Auspicious Signs are simply too terrifying!”

“Exactly, it looks like Senior Brother Gu is about to comprehend something incredible this time.”

“I remember Senior Brother Gu's last Epiphany was three months ago. It's been a while now, so this is probably the result of accumulating knowledge.”

“...”

Listening to the chattering discussions around her, Jiang Yourong, who had just recovered her senses, felt numb.

Wait... this is an Epiphany!

Shouldn't Epiphanies be extremely rare and hard to come by?

Ordinary Cultivators might not experience an Epiphany once in their entire lives, and even for those Cultivation Geniuses, achieving a single Epiphany after hundreds or thousands of years of arduous Cultivation is considered a rare great Opportunity!

How is it that, in the mouths of these Holy Land Disciples, Epiphanies sound like they are worthless?

Just three months without an Epiphany is considered the result of accumulating knowledge?

Could it be that she was Cultivating a false Immortal path?!

However, when she recalled Gu Qingchen's recent Opportunities, she knew that in half a month, he would observe the Dao Marks, have another Epiphany, and directly Breakthrough to the Dongxuan Realm!

It seems... perhaps... for Gu Qingchen, having an Epiphany is truly as simple as eating and drinking?

“Is it because of the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Fate/fate?

Oh my, how can there be such a Heaven-Defying person in this world! Senior Brother Gu, are you the Heavenly Dao's biological son?

Wait, even the Heavenly Dao's biological son wouldn't receive this treatment—the Heavenly Dao's biological father is closer to the truth!”

Just one [Heaven-Defying Comprehension] is this powerful, yet Gu Qingchen has six other destinies of the same Rank!

How are others supposed to live?

“I must firmly cling to such a powerful figure. Just rubbing off a little Luck will be better than stealing a hundred Opportunities!”

After careful consideration, Jiang Yourong decided to charge straight ahead!

...“Whew, I didn't expect this session of preaching the Dao to bring unexpected gains...”

On the Preaching Platform, Gu Qingchen let out a soft breath.

This was his first time preaching the Dao since his strength reached the Great Perfection of the Tongxuan Realm.

During this process, he organized all his knowledge and fused his Divine Abilities and Spells, actually comprehending a powerful Divine Ability.

This Divine Ability pointed directly to the source of all laws, capable of simulating anyone's attack, and could also evolve various Divine Attack Arts, condense Divine Forms, and bestow a true spirit!

It was equivalent to understanding one law, and understanding all laws!

“Since that is the case, this Divine Ability shall be named the Myriad Transformation Sacred Art.”
