LLin Potian had said similar things before, which caused the people nearby to be momentarily stunned before they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Although he knew Lin Potian meant to brush aside the topic of Lu Fan, Li Taiqing shook his head helplessly and slapped the back of Lin Potian's head.
"Stop talking nonsense! The Heavenly Court's Peach Garden of Immortality is property cultivated by the Heavenly Emperor for many years; how could it be easily moved?
Moreover, what kind of figure is Master? As a Limitless Dao Venerable, he possesses heaven-defying means of creation. What is so strange about him cultivating this peach forest?"
Lu Fan coughed lightly and added:
"Junior Brother Lin, the types of peach trees here are quite similar to those seen in the Heavenly Court, but compared to their Peach Garden of Immortality, our Peach Garden of Immortality is undoubtedly even more vast, even surpassing theirs!
In my view, Master must have cultivated this peach forest elsewhere long ago, and this is simply the first time we are seeing it."
Su Ming nodded, clearly agreeing with what Lu Fan said.
"Brother Lu is quite right, especially that peach tree at the very center. Have you ever seen its like in the Heavenly Court's Peach Garden of Immortality?"
Jiang Hao looked at that nine-colored ancient peach tree with burning eyes, being most sensitive to high-quality vitality and the power of creation.
"I can feel that if we could consume one of those nine-colored peaches, it would be of immense benefit to us!"
As for the peach tree at the very center, he didn't even dare to think about it, for fear of losing control of himself.
While everyone was discussing, Xiao Bai could no longer restrain herself and quietly slipped under an immortal tree, picking a peach that radiated a golden glow while muttering:
"Just one small bite... to see if the taste is sweeter than the ones from the Heavenly Court..."
When the Heavenly Court received them back then, many spiritual fruits and fine wines were placed before each of them, including peaches.
The next second, she was slapped on the forehead by Xiao Jin, neither too hard nor too soft.
"As Spirit Pets, we should protect Master's things. How could you steal what you are meant to guard?"
Xiao Jin glared majestically at Xiao Bai, taking his role very seriously.
He resolutely resisted anything that harmed Han Xuanji's interests, treating even Xiao Bai with the same standard.
Xiao Bai shrunk her neck and withdrew her hand sheepishly, grumbling:
"I was just picking it to see if it was ripe, so I could feel more at ease when I give it to Master later."
Looking at Xiao Bai's behavior, everyone smiled at each other. Before long, they heard Han Xuanji's call. Everyone's expression turned solemn as they quickly tidied their appearance, suppressed their stray thoughts, and turned into streaks of light, flying toward the main hall of the Xuantian Dao Palace.
At this time, Han Xuanji stood before the main hall of the Xuantian Dao Palace in a simple green robe, his aura ethereal as he looked down upon everything he had created.
His gaze was calm as he watched the crowd entering one after another.
Disciples like Li Taiqing, Lu Fan, and Lin Potian stood in order and bowed.
"Greetings, Master!"
"You may rise."
Han Xuanji slightly raised his hand, and a gentle dao-rhythm lifted everyone up.
His expression was indifferent as he looked at the respectful crowd, his voice calmly reaching everyone's ears.
"This is the Xuantian Dao Palace, the foundation for our existence and our quest for the peak of the Dao."
"The Great Dao is infinite, only diligent cultivation can bring one closer; the waves of tribulation are approaching, only strength can be relied upon. Today I have called you here to teach my Xuantian Great Dao."
Currently, the struggle between immortals and demons was underway, and some among the group intended to compete for Luck during this Great Tribulation. Han Xuanji naturally intended to boost their cultivation, as he could not simply ignore these Disciples.
Han Xuanji's gaze first fell upon Lu Fan, and he said warmly:
"Lu Fan, you bear the position of Human Emperor, but do not forget your cultivation. You may leave after this sermon is over."
Hearing this, Lu Fan was deeply moved, immediately realizing that Master had specifically chosen to preach upon his return.
"Disciple shall keep Master's teachings in mind and will listen with a quiet heart, so as not to waste this Opportunity."
Han Xuanji then looked at the others.
"The same applies to you all. What I teach today involves the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm; how much you can comprehend depends on your own fate and Comprehension Ability."
Everyone agreed in unison, their hearts filled with both excitement and nervousness.
A Primordial Limitless Dao Venerable personally preaching was a supreme Opportunity even in the Immortal Realm, and it was unknown how few had received such a chance throughout history.
Everyone followed Han Xuanji into the interior of the main hall, sensing the majestic Spiritual Qi within. Just a single breath made them feel their cultivation loosening and their minds becoming much more refreshed.
"Be seated."
Han Xuanji sat upon the chaos green lotus and flicked his sleeve. The clouds in the hall automatically condensed into translucent enlightenment futons, which were the "Taiji Enlightenment Futons" he had previously obtained.
As the futons touched the ground, they naturally emitted a dao-rhythm that cleared the heart and calmed the spirit, aiding in enlightenment.
Everyone sat down as instructed. The futons were warm, and a clear stream of energy flowed from their tailbones straight to their minds, instantly dispelling all stray thoughts and leaving their spirits clear, entering the optimal state for listening to the Dao.
Even Xiao Bai, who was usually the most restless, became uncharacteristically quiet, her eyes slightly closed as if adjusting her breathing.
Seeing that everyone was prepared, Han Xuanji said no more. He closed his eyes slightly and then opened them.
As he opened his eyes, it was as if an infinite radiance was born within them, yet it instantly returned to calmness.
He did not preach loudly, nor were there extravagant displays; he simply began to explain the Xuantian Great Dao in the most peaceful tone.
His voice was not loud, yet it seemed to resonate directly in the deepest part of every listener's Divine Soul. Every word seemed to contain the Profound Truth of the Dao, triggering a resonance with the power in their bodies and guiding their understanding of the Laws of heaven and earth.
Immediately, anomalies arose within the hall.
Above Han Xuanji's head in the Void Realm, a vast and boundless Great Dao Scroll naturally manifested. Within it, the creation of Chaos, the differentiation of Yin and Yang, the rotation of the Five Elements, the arraying of the stars, and the birth and death of all things were all played out, demonstrating various ultimate principles of the Dao.
The content Han Xuanji explained ranged from the basics of Qi-absorption and cultivation to the comprehension of Laws and the supreme principles of constructing one's Dao to prove the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm.
With just a few words, the path ahead became clear to everyone.
They were originally of Chaos Physique with extraordinary Comprehension Ability, and each was a person of great Luck. Now, they were filled with confidence, feeling that as long as they had enough time, they would eventually step into the Primordial Chaos Golden Immortal Realm.
Accompanying Han Xuanji's sermon, invisible waves of dao-rhythm, like ripples on water, spread from the Xuantian Dao Palace toward the entire Xuantian Dao Domain.
The first to be affected were the Xuanling Clan members gathered on the outskirts of the Dao Palace, who were busy planning their new home.
Han Xuanji had not intervened much in the growth of the Xuanling Clan, simply allowing their existence, and the Disciples had not yet made contact with them.
But the entire Xuanling Clan's adoration for Han Xuanji had already reached a degree of unprecedented fanaticism.
They spontaneously collected top-grade Materials such as Star Jade, Spirit-Warming Wood, and Fluorescent Stone. Led by the clan's craftsmen, they began to meticulously carve divine statues of Han Xuanji in the central plaza of their settlement, along the main paths to the Dao Palace, and upon the beautiful spiritual mountains, where people worshiped at all times.
When that grand dao-rhythm swept past, all Xuanling Clan members, regardless of gender or age, and regardless of their cultivation level, stopped what they were doing.
They looked toward the Dao Palace in unison, an indescribable awe welling up in their hearts.
