In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

With the five innate spiritual roots condensing into five energies, Zhang Xiaoshan is at least a ninth-grade Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Disciple pays homage to Master!"

Upon emerging from seclusion, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately went to pay homage to the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

Zhang Xiaoshan will receive the same benefits as last time from comprehending the Pure Yang Dao Technique during the sermon. Not only will he save a lot of merit, but by comprehending the Great Luo Chapter during the sage's sermon, he can directly advance to the Great Luo realm by taking advantage of the golden lotus that emerges from the ground during the sage's sermon.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could save Zhang Xiaoshan so much time; how could he possibly miss it?

"The five elements are perfectly balanced, excellent!"

The Supreme Dao Ancestor greatly admired Zhang Xiaoshan's scheme against Buddhism.

Not only did he collect all five innate spiritual roots, but he also brought his incarnation Chonglou to the opposite side of Buddhism, achieving the effect of yin and yang restraint. In fact, Chonglou's future potential could rival that of Tathagata.

In this way, his Xuanmen gained another top-level Venerable.

“Master, this time the five elements have reached perfection and the three flowers have gathered at the top of the head. The Pure Yang Dao Technique has reached a bottleneck.”

Therefore, this disciple wishes to request Master to expound on the Great Luo Heavenly Dao. Through the teachings of a sage, this disciple can not only perfect the Great Luo chapter of the Pure Yang Dao, but also seize the opportunity presented by the 'Golden Lotus Emerging from the Earth' to advance to the Great Luo realm.

"Preaching? Sure!"

The sage preaching is no small matter, but thinking of Zhang Xiaoshan's opportunity last time, the Supreme Dao Ancestor couldn't help but nod.

If Zhang Xiaoshan can truly comprehend the Great Luo Chapter, then advancing to the Great Luo realm will be a certainty, which is the most important stage of cultivation.

Compared to cultivating the Taiqing Immortal Technique to advance to the Great Luo realm, the Pure Yang Path is undoubtedly more suitable for Zhang Xiaoshan.

The Taiqing Immortal Technique is most suitable for the Eastern Emperor to cultivate. This time, Zhang Xiaoshan obtained the Yin and Yang energies, which enabled the Eastern Emperor to condense the Yin and Yang Divine Body with the help of the Taiqing Divine Talisman. His foundation has grown rapidly, and his future potential is no less than that of the Great Celestial Venerable.

But an incarnation is still an incarnation; Chunyangzi is the true form of the three incarnations.

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of Heaven and Earth; named, it is the mother of all things..."

When the sage preached, golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

Zhang Xiaoshan also quickly sat up straight and entered a state of enlightenment.

"By refining trillions of merits, we will evolve the Great Luo Chapter of the Pure Yang Dao Technique!"

Within the Purple Mansion Primordial Spirit, as one trillion merits were poured into the mysterious bronze giant bell, the bell rang nine times. The Heavenly Dao Divine Patterns on the bronze wall transformed into dense seal script, like a heavenly book, and surged towards Zhang Xiaoshan's Dao Foundation Nine Provinces Cauldron.

Combining the teachings of the sages with the Taiqing Immortal Technique, Zhang Xiaoshan immediately entered a state of enlightenment.

This scene surprised even the Supreme Daoist Lord, who hadn't expected Zhang Xiaoshan to enter a state of enlightenment so quickly.

At the same time, countless golden lotuses formed from spiritual energy surged toward Zhang Xiaoshan's body.

Golden Horn, Silver Horn, and Green Ox Demon looked at Zhang Xiaoshan with gratitude.

If Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't been there, how would they have had the chance to hear the sage preach? After all, they were merely attendants and mounts, just bonuses for preaching to the disciples.

As the time passed during the sage's sermon, Zhang Xiaoshan's primordial spirit, Qingyun, suddenly manifested three flowers.

In an instant, countless golden lotuses surged into Zhang Xiaoshan's body like a storm, at a speed ten or a hundred times faster.

Seeing this, the Supreme Dao Ancestor understood that Zhang Xiaoshan was on the verge of a breakthrough.

He was able to break through to the Great Luo realm with just one enlightenment. Such talent even amazed the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

Even if the Great Luo is merely the threshold of the Heavenly Dao.

Moreover, a bright red light shone from Yuan Shen Qing Yun, exuding a pure yang aura like the rising sun, as if the sun were just beginning to rise and all things were in their infancy.

·········Requesting flowers·· 0

This is precisely the most supreme form of pure Yang Dao.

Immediately, three flowers bloomed, and a lotus platform appeared. As the golden lotus's magical power surged in, the lotus platform advanced to first, second, and third grade...

With his lotus platform reaching the ninth rank, Zhang Xiaoshan had already qualified to become a quasi-leader.

However, the lotus platform did not stop absorbing the golden lotus's magical power. Subsequently, the ninth-grade lotus platform continued to condense another grade, which made even the Supreme Dao Lord's eyes light up.

He knew that among the nine ranks of Foundation Establishment, each rank was vastly different.

Those Heavenly Dao cultivators above the Ninth Rank are all innate saints and ancient great powers from ancient times, the best among the Golden Immortals of the Xuanmen.

Even the eldest disciple, Xuandu, was only at the tenth level of the Dao Foundation stage.

Soon, the eleventh grade began to condense, which surprised and delighted the Supreme Dao Lord, whose eyes shone brightly.

......... ... .......

The eleventh-grade foundation is only below the ancient top-level powerhouses such as the Three Pure Ones, the Demon Emperor Taiyi, and Nuwa. Demon Master Kunpeng, the ancestor of earth immortals Zhen Yuanzi, and the Blood Sea Styx are all eleventh-grade foundations.

As time passed, Zhang Xiaoshan's foundation continued to expand little by little. Although the Supreme Dao Lord did not have any hope that Zhang Xiaoshan could condense a twelfth-grade foundation, he still did not let his guard down. On the contrary, the content of his sermons, as well as the golden lotus condensed from the power of heaven and earth, became more and more profound.

Five hundred years later, as the last lotus platform was completely formed, the entire Great Luo Heaven trembled.

A flower with twelve petals, possessing the bearing of a sage!

Even in ancient times, there were fewer than two people, and each of them was a top-tier powerhouse of that era.

The Three Pure Ones of Xuanmen, the Demon Emperor Taiyi, the Great Goddess Nuwa, Jieyin, and Zhunti!

At the same time, above the thirty-third heaven, a twelve-colored celestial aura descended from the chaos. Myriad blossoms of Daoist charm and profound merit enveloped his body, while nine-colored auspicious clouds spread across hundreds of millions of miles, forging Zhang Xiaoshan's Great Luo Golden Body.

"What a wonderful opportunity! What a blessing! What a meritorious deed!"

The Supreme Dao Ancestor gazed at Zhang Xiaoshan amidst the myriad mists and couldn't help but marvel repeatedly.

You should know that the twelfth grade Dao foundation is the foundation for becoming a saint.

Hongyun's foundation was insufficient back then. Even though he had the opportunity to become a saint, he ultimately died and his cultivation dissipated.

Moreover, at this moment, the Heavenly Dao bestows profound merits and primordial Dao essence to forge the golden body, which is an unparalleled opportunity.

In the future, it's only a matter of time before Zhang Xiaoshan becomes a potential leader.

Chapter 164 The Beginning of the Pure Yang Golden Body Tribulation

"Enlightenment has been achieved!!"

He repeated his melodramatic remarks, but this time they were completely different.

Previously, the five elements were perfected, and the foundation of the Dao was established;

This time, he achieved the Pure Yang realm and entered the ranks of the Heavenly Dao.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan slightly opened his divine eyes, and a streak of crimson light flashed like lightning, traversing the Three Realms. His body was surrounded by countless divine lights, like the sun, enveloping the entire Tushita Palace.

Within the great sun, a magnificent sun burst forth with dazzling divine light, and the divine fire surrounding it possessed the power to incinerate all things.

Great Golden Immortal, Pure Yang Golden Body!

Experiencing a completely new realm, Taiyi and Daluo are two entirely different concepts.

In the Taiyi realm, one cultivates the golden core within the body, using the primordial spirit to mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and cultivates supernatural abilities and techniques.

The Great Luo transcends the river of time, is indestructible through countless eons, comprehends the laws of heaven, controls the power of heaven and earth, and can even create the universe and reverse the cycle of reincarnation.

Especially after advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal "Nine-Five-Zero", reaching the twelfth rank of Foundation Establishment, Zhang Xiaoshan received a gift from the Heavenly Dao, causing his origin to surge.

From now on, Zhang Xiaoshan will be the 'Dongwanggong', not a 'reincarnation' of the original essence of the Dongwanggong.

Therefore, this is not only a breakthrough in realm, but also a leap in life level, from the original pure yang body to the pure yang golden body of innate god and demon body.

The foundation of a primordial deity and demon, his pure Yang golden body is in no way inferior to the sixteen-foot golden body of the Tathagata, much less comparable to the hundred-eighty-foot Dharma bodies of the celestial gods.

The Dharma Body is similar to the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth, while the Golden Body is a truly top-tier means of attack.

Moreover, the Pure Yang Golden Body is merely an adjunct to the Pure Yang Origin. All its various supernatural abilities still need to be discovered by Zhang Xiaoshan himself. Its future potential is limitless, even surpassing that of Tathagata and Chonglou.

In addition, Zhang Xiaoshan completely refined the Sun Golden Wheel after Zhang Xiaoshan advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The Thirty-Sixfold Innate Forbidden Sun Essence Wheel is a Celestial Venerable Treasure, and therefore only powerful individuals at the Great Luo or Celestial Venerable realms can fully refine it.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoshan could not only unleash attacks comparable to top-grade spiritual treasures, but the solar divine fire swirling around the Sun Essence Wheel also possessed the power to incinerate all things.

Furthermore, the Pure Yang Nine Provinces Cauldron has been promoted to the ranks of supreme spiritual treasures. By integrating the myriad auras accumulated during its refinement, the content of the sage's teachings, and the celestial runes on the cauldron, the Pure Yang Nine Provinces Cauldron silently ascended to the level of a supreme acquired spiritual treasure, no less powerful than the golden bowl refined by the Buddha. Moreover, in the future, when the sage expounds the Primordial Chaos Dao and Zhang Xiaoshan's Primordial Chaos Chapter on refining merit, it is not impossible for the Pure Yang Nine Provinces Cauldron to be promoted to a supreme acquired treasure.

Therefore, compared to the Sun Golden Wheel, the Pure Yang Nine Provinces Cauldron has greater potential.

After all, at the quasi-leader level, unless the Golden Sun Wheel is upgraded to a top-grade spiritual treasure, its power will inevitably be inferior to the Pure Yang Nine Provinces Cauldron, which has been upgraded again.

"This disciple thanks the teacher for his kindness!"

After the initial excitement subsided, Zhang Xiaoshan respectfully bowed to the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

Although this ritual of refining trillions of merits did not produce the Primordial Chaos Chapter, it strengthened the Pure Yang Golden Body in the Great Luo Dao Technique. Combined with the Sun Essence Wheel, the Great Sun evolved into an unparalleled divine power, which can not only draw upon the true fire of the sun, but also eventually evolve into a true Great Sun.

"This is your destiny. I am merely transmitting the Dharma. Whether you attain enlightenment depends entirely on your own understanding."

"I never imagined your destiny was so profound. Your flower possesses twelve petals, displaying the qualities of a sage. In the future, you are at least destined to reach the level of a quasi-leader!"

The world is different now, so Zhang Xiaoshan's ability to reach the level of a Great Immortal is already a great merit, a great enlightenment, and a great blessing.

Aspiring leaders, however, require an exceptionally rare opportunity.

Such an opportunity, compared to that of an ordinary Great Luo cultivator, would likely require countless eons to accumulate, but Zhang Xiaoshan didn't need to.

Because in another hundred years, that will be Zhang Xiaoshan's opportunity.

Once the clone breaks through, how far away is the main body?

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan himself has just broken through and still needs to accumulate foundation, especially the foundation of innate gods and demons, which may require tens of thousands of years to accumulate.

···

Eastern Celestial Realm!

As Zhang Xiaoshan's incarnation—Wuji Daoren, he is now a Heavenly Venerable at the peak of the Heavenly Venerable realm.

For millennia, while the West flourished, Xuanzhen Temple steadfastly guarded the Eastern Continent. Given the Taoist community's seclusion, it served as a pillar of Taoism. Therefore, the status of the Eastern Emperor within the Taoist community is self-evident, no less than that of the Great Savior of Suffering, Taiyi.

As one of the Four Heavenly Emperors and the true ruler of the Eastern Heavenly Realm, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun is also a top-tier Heavenly Venerable, whose strength is no less than that of Wuji Daoren at this time.

Just like the Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole and the Great Emperor Zhenwu, the Heavenly Venerable of Subduing Demons!

At this moment, Wuji Daoren's strength is that of a true top-tier Heavenly Venerable. He has fully refined the Taiqing Divine Talisman and forged his foundation with the innate Yin and Yang energies. At this time, Wuji Daoren's strength is by no means inferior to Chonglou, who has broken through the seventh level of the Xuan Gong.

"Six Ears greets Your Majesty!"

At the Eastern Emperor's Palace, the Six-Eared Macaque received a summons and arrived in the Eastern Heavenly Realm...

As a protector of the Xuanmen sect, the Six-Eared Macaque was in the mortal realm at this time, but in the Eastern Continent of Shengzhou, he cooperated with the Xuanzhen Temple to stabilize the Xuanmen sect's lineage and inheritance.

Once the Buddhist sect enters Dongsheng Shenzhou, ordinary monks are one thing, but if they are Buddhist masters, the Six-Eared Macaque will deal with them.

Even though Sun Wukong repeatedly caused trouble, he was easily defeated by the Six-Eared Macaque.

After all, even two Sun Wukongs wouldn't be a match for the Six-Eared Macaque at the fifth level of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts or the sixth level of the Nine Arcane Arts. Moreover, the Six-Eared Macaque had the White Ape King and the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons assisting him, each of whom was no less powerful than Sun Wukong.

Over the years, the Buddhist temples in Dongsheng Shenzhou have been completely suppressed by the Six-Eared Macaque.

Unless the Four Great Bodhisattvas intervene, but the Xuanmen sect also has Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Donghua Dijun, unless the Four Great Bodhisattvas come together, they will only be able to return defeated.

"Six Ears, just now the main body has broken through to the Great Luo realm, and the fortune has moved the incarnation Chonglou to break through to the seventh level of the Profound Technique."

"Congratulations, Master!"

Once I break through to the Great Luo realm, I will become a true top-tier powerhouse in the Three Realms, transcending reincarnation and indestructible through countless eons.

The Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Realm still practices Xuan Gong (mysterious arts), but because he does not follow the orthodox path, he faces many restrictions.

Only those who have reached the Great Luo level can be considered great cultivators who have stepped into the threshold of the Heavenly Dao.

"I have summoned you here today to gather your strength and prepare for the impending catastrophe."

Especially with Chonglou's emergence after breaking through the tribulation, it will inevitably affect all living beings and cultivators in the Three Realms. You must enter the tribulation in the early stages of version 2.0, otherwise, the consequences will be extremely perilous!

"Yes, Master."

The Six-Eared Macaque had complete faith in Zhang Xiaoshan's judgment and was even clearer about Zhang Xiaoshan's purpose in arranging all of this back then: to use the power of the Great Tribulation to break through his cultivation realm at this moment.

The seventh stage of the profound skill is just the beginning.

At this moment, Chonglou broke through to the seventh level. You should know that under the calamity, the luck was on his side, and breaking through was as easy as eating and drinking.

At least in the early stages of the Great Tribulation, Chonglou was the chosen one, and everything he did seemed to be aided by heaven.

As for settling accounts afterward?

If we switch sides, who will dare to do anything to this peerless genius, the direct descendant of the Xuanmen Taiqing sect?
