Within ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the Taiyi Dao Sect, the inner sect halls had long been restored to their original state, even surpassing their former glory.

The ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍injuries of the Sect Master, Daoist Xuanchen, and the various elders had completely healed under the effects of the spiritual pills given by Gu Yan and their own recuperation.

From ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍top to bottom, the sect was united, its momentum surging like a rainbow.

Afterward, ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Daoist Xuanchen and Yunchenzi, along with others, held discussions.

They ‍​‌​‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍began mobilizing the sect’s elite disciples, joining forces with the armies of the Great Qian Dynasty.

They took the initiative to eliminate the remaining forces of Radiant Sun Island on land and pointed their swords toward its overseas stronghold.

In truth, ever since half a year ago, when the Eighth Revolution Martial Saint Li Wuya and his elite subordinates were annihilated at the Taiyi Dao Sect, Radiant Sun Island had already sensed that something was wrong internally.

However, the entire force they had sent was wiped out, and all communication was cut off, leaving them uncertain and suspicious.

They neither dared to send more people to investigate nor were willing to believe that their lord had truly fallen.

They only speculated that Li Wuya had been delayed for some reason.

Thus, they chose to shrink their defensive lines and wait for changes.

And in that waiting, they were met with the thunderous counterattack of the Taiyi Dao Sect and the Great Qian Dynasty.

……

Another half year passed.

Under the invisible deterrence of the Taiyi Dao Sect’s Longevity True Lord’s reputation,

and the formidable combat strength honed through real battles by the sect’s disciples, the land forces of Radiant Sun Island were completely uprooted.

Their sea strongholds were also cleared out one by one, and in the end, they were driven back entirely into the depths of the Endless Sea.

After this battle, the prestige of the Taiyi Dao Sect soared like the blazing sun, rising once again.

The emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty even personally visited the mountain gate, speaking earnestly, wishing to establish the Taiyi Dao Sect as the state religion and offer it nationwide worship.

However, the Sect Master, Daoist Xuanchen, politely declined.

He was clear in his heart that the Taiyi Dao Sect’s current achievements relied entirely on Gu Yan’s presence.

Previously, he had already privately consulted Gu Yan’s opinion, and Gu Yan had only said:

“My Taiyi Dao Sect is a pure cultivation Daoist sect. If we become entangled in too much worldly power, it will instead become a burden. It is better to remain tranquil.”

Daoist Xuanchen deeply agreed.

Although the emperor felt somewhat disappointed, when he thought of the unfathomable True Lord of the Taiyi Dao Sect, he did not dare to force the matter and continued to show great respect.

……

On this day, within the inner sect of the Taiyi Dao Sect, at the Longevity Residence—

【The effect of the entry 《Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord · Red》 has been triggered. You have obtained the cultivation technique 《Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture》】

【Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture: A method of refining essence into qi and establishing the foundation of the Dao.

Originating from a certain mid-tier world, it does not require spiritual root aptitude. Anyone with the heart to pursue the Dao can begin, progressing step by step, and can be cultivated up to the Transformation Spirit realm】

Gu Yan opened his eyes, a trace of joy flashing within them.

“A cultivation technique that doesn’t require spiritual roots?” he thought in delight.

The Grand Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture that he cultivated was indeed profound, with a higher ceiling,

but it had strict requirements for spiritual root aptitude—those without spiritual roots could not even begin.

Now, this Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture solved the greatest barrier!

This could serve perfectly as the foundational inheritance for the Taiyi Dao Sect’s immortal path.

Gu Yan had long intended to guide the Taiyi Dao Sect onto the true path of immortality.

Not only because he was now revered as the Longevity True Lord, vaguely regarded as an ancestral figure of the sect,

but also because he had grown up here since childhood and felt a strong sense of belonging to the Taiyi Dao Sect.

His earlier act of personally refining pills to heal the entire sect was proof enough.

For this sect that had sheltered his growth and given him a sense of home, and for people close to him like Old Chen and his senior sister, he did not hesitate to lend a helping hand.

Having made up his mind, Gu Yan’s divine sense moved slightly, and his voice simultaneously sounded in the minds of Old Chen, his senior sister Lin Wei, the Supreme Elder Yunchenzi, and the Sect Master Daoist Xuanchen.

“Please come to the Longevity Residence for a discussion.”

The group was already accustomed to such methods of voice transmission and quickly gathered before the gates of the Longevity Residence.

Gu Yan did not waste time on pleasantries. He directly handed the Sect Master, Daoist Xuanchen, a booklet in which he had already copied the general outline and Qi Refining chapter of the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture.

At the same time, he transmitted the foundational realms of the immortal path—Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Transformation Spirit—as well as the key principles of the scripture directly into the minds of the four present.

Gu Yan explained, “This is a true immortal cultivation technique, called the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture.

Unlike martial dao, which tempers internal force and true essence, the immortal path focuses on refining essence into qi, comprehending heaven and earth, condensing the Golden Core, and nurturing the primordial spirit.”

Although the group had already anticipated Gu Yan’s abilities, they were still shaken by this sudden opportunity of immortality.

Especially upon sensing the clear cultivation path and insights into immortal cultivation within their minds, they found it even more unbelievable.

The Supreme Elder, Yunchenzi, had the highest cultivation and the deepest understanding. Suppressing his excitement, he respectfully asked:

“True Lord… may I ask what level your current immortal cultivation has reached?”

Gu Yan answered calmly, “At present, I am merely at the Nascent Soul realm.”

Nascent Soul—and merely?

Yunchenzi and Daoist Xuanchen exchanged glances, their hearts surging with shock.

They knew well that Gu Yan’s strength far surpassed that of an Eighth Revolution Martial Saint.

They had originally speculated that his realm was at least Transformation Spirit or even higher, yet it turned out to be Nascent Soul.

A Nascent Soul cultivator could easily slay an Eighth Revolution Martial Saint—the potential and power of the immortal path inheritance were simply unimaginable!

What moved them even more was that such a precious inheritance—

Gu Yan had not only given it to Old Chen, who had shown him kindness, and to Lin Wei, who was close to him, but had also bestowed it upon the two of them without reservation, clearly intending it to become the sect’s inheritance.

“True Lord’s great kindness—our sect will never forget it for all eternity!”

The Sect Master, Daoist Xuanchen, was the first to bow deeply, his voice trembling.
