Gu Yan spread out his divine sense, covering the entire Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven.

Within the grotto heaven, mountains, rivers, spiritual peaks, and palace halls all entered his sight.

The disciples of Taiyi Dao Sect were either cultivating, sparring, or working within medicinal fields, everything proceeding in orderly fashion.

The members of the Great Love Alliance were also busy with their own affairs. Some researched pill dao, while others studied formations. Their days passed peacefully and steadily.

Gu Yan focused particularly on two people.

One was named Lin Fan.

In his previous life, he had been a Human Immortal from the Divine Court of the Immortal Realm. Because he committed a mistake, he had been banished to the mortal world by the Divine Emperor.

In this life, he reincarnated within the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven and had now become a disciple of Taiyi Dao Sect.

The other honest Golden Immortal was now named Chu Feng.

Strictly speaking, the two of them counted as fellow townsmen, both having come from the Haotian Divine Court. It was just that neither of them had awakened the memories of their previous lives yet.

What interested Gu Yan was that the names of both these people sounded extremely protagonist-like to him.

Lin Fan. Chu Feng.

They sounded exactly like the sort of figures capable of stirring up the winds and clouds.

Moreover, both of them had younger sisters. That setting also felt strangely familiar.

When the two were born, heavenly phenomena had descended for both of them.

However, what was interesting was that despite their extraordinary destinies, both of them acted in an extremely low-key manner.

Neither arrogant nor flamboyant, nor filled with tragic hatred.

They simply cultivated honestly and lived their lives quietly.

Thinking about it, that made sense too.

Within the Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven, what trouble could possibly happen?

There were no bloody feuds involving entire clans being exterminated.

No tragic scenes of parents sacrificing themselves.

Nor any scripts about lowly origins and enduring endless humiliation before rising to power.

The cultivators of Taiyi Dao Sect had all undergone tests of character.

And among the members of the Great Love Alliance who had journeyed all the way from the Southern Sea Realm, which one had not experienced great storms and waves?

Thus, Lin Fan and Chu Feng quietly cultivated within the grotto heaven without the slightest intention of causing trouble.

Both possessed extremely good spiritual root aptitude, and both cultivated the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture taught by Gu Yan.

This cultivation method was something Gu Yan obtained during his early years from the Fortune-Blessed Immortal Lord entry. Its greatest characteristic was that it did not discriminate based on spiritual roots—regardless of aptitude, anyone could cultivate it.

However, this cultivation method had one problem.

Its upper limit was no longer sufficient.

When Gu Yan first obtained it, the cultivation method could only reach the Transformation Spirit Realm.

Later, he used the Haotian Mirror to deduce and improve it, pushing its upper limit to the Great Ascension Realm.

But now, a Great Ascension Realm cultivation method was clearly no longer enough.

It needed another upgrade.

Gu Yan withdrew his divine sense and began cultivating while simultaneously deducing the cultivation method.

To him, multitasking posed no difficulty at all.

As time flowed onward, another five years passed.

Within Longevity Hall, Gu Yan’s aura trembled briefly before returning to calmness.

Human Immortal Realm Seventh Layer.

His breakthrough speed remained as stable as ever.

At the same time, the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture in his hands was finally fully deduced.

Gu Yan opened his eyes and carefully examined it.

The new version of the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture had its upper limit deduced all the way to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In other words, even an ordinary mortal without any spiritual roots would still have the opportunity to cultivate to the Heavenly Immortal Realm through this cultivation method.

Within the Immortal Realm, that might not count for much.

But within the Spirit Realm and various middle worlds, this was already a heaven-defying cultivation method.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Yan’s divine sense landed at the foot of Mount Buzhou.

With a thought from him, an enormous stone stele condensed into existence out of thin air.

The stone stele was entirely black, standing roughly one hundred zhang tall and thirty zhang wide, thick and heavy.

The front of the stele was smooth like a mirror.

Using divine sense as a pen, Gu Yan engraved lines of text onto the stone stele.

The complete Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture, from beginner level all the way to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, was engraved upon it without omitting a single word.

Every character emitted a faint glow, as though alive, flowing and wandering across the stone stele.

After finishing, Gu Yan examined it for a moment.

Mm. It carried quite an imposing aura.

Once this stone stele stood at the foot of Mount Buzhou, every passing disciple would notice it immediately. No one could possibly miss it.

Gu Yan cleared his throat, and his divine sense transmission covered the entire grotto heaven.

“Disciples of Taiyi Dao Sect and Great Love Alliance, hear my command.”

“I have already fully deduced the latter portions of the Primordial Unity One Qi Dao Scripture. Its upper limit now reaches the Heavenly Immortal Realm.”

“The cultivation method has been engraved upon the stone stele at the foot of Mount Buzhou. You may all go examine and cultivate it yourselves.”

The moment these words were spoken, disciples who had been in secluded cultivation all opened their eyes.

Disciples currently sparring upon the spell fighting platform immediately stopped.

The entire grotto heaven fell silent for an instant.

Immediately afterward came overwhelming joy.

Heavenly Immortal Realm?

Could this be the immortal dao realm?

Gu Yan’s voice continued sounding out:

“In addition, ten years from now, I shall once again preach the Dao atop Mount Buzhou.”

“This time, the lecture shall concern the immortal dao realms. Anyone willing to listen may come.”

The transmission ended.

The entire Supreme Creation Lesser Luo Grotto Heaven erupted into excitement.

But that excitement lasted only an instant.

Because everyone thought of the same thing simultaneously.

The stone stele! The cultivation method!

The lecture ten years later was certainly important, but that was a matter for ten years later.

The stone stele before them was real and immediate. The earlier they examined it, the earlier they could begin cultivating.

Thus, cultivators throughout the entire grotto heaven, regardless of cultivation level or age, all put down whatever they were doing and rushed toward Mount Buzhou.

Escape lights filled the sky like rain, while figures crowded the mountain paths.

Taiyi Dao Sect’s Sect Master Xuanchenzi and Supreme Elder Yunchenzi—these two elderly figures normally remained calm and composed no matter the situation, but even they could no longer sit still.

The two exchanged glances before simultaneously rising and flying toward Mount Buzhou.

The members of the Great Love Alliance were even more excited.

Xu Gang and Ye Chen had been drinking tea together. Upon hearing the transmission, Ye Chen set down his teacup and looked toward Mount Buzhou.

“Going?” Xu Gang asked.

“Going.” Ye Chen nodded.

Their figures moved simultaneously, transforming into two streaks of escape light.

At the foot of Mount Buzhou, before the massive stone stele, people quickly gathered in huge numbers.

Layer upon layer upon layer, densely packed with heads everywhere.

Those who arrived first had already impatiently begun studying the text upon the stone stele, while those arriving later desperately squeezed forward trying to get a clearer look.

The words upon the stele emitted faint radiance, every character containing profound Dao charm.

Those with higher cultivation could comprehend deeper meanings.

Those with lower cultivation could still understand the surface-level cultivation methods.

Some watched with complete fascination.

Some slapped their thighs in amazement.

Some fell into deep contemplation.

And others wore utterly bewildered expressions.
