, Immortal Island, Discussion of the Dao.

Chapter 20 Three Immortal Islands, Discussing the Dao.

In the endless East Sea, Zhao Gongming took the lead, followed by Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Chen Qing. The group of five headed towards the Three Immortal Islands.

Because Chen Qing was present, the five of them did not use their supernatural powers to transform into flying light, but instead chose to travel by riding the clouds.

Although traveling by cloud is not as fast as traveling by light, the five people are all quite powerful, so even traveling by cloud is quite fast.

Along the way, Chen Qing admired the scenery of the East China Sea and looked at the various unique sea creatures with a very calm expression.

Now he has seen many strange beasts in the primordial world, and his knowledge has also increased a lot. In addition, with his own cultivation level, he has reached a state of calm and composure in the face of change.

Seeing Chen Qing's state, Zhao Gongming, the three Xiaos, and the others did not disturb him but continued on their way.

Not long after, a voice rang out.

"Senior Brother Chen Qing, we are about to arrive at the Three Immortal Islands."

Zhao Gongming turned to look at Chen Qing, his voice trembling with excitement.

Upon hearing Zhao Gongming's words, Chen Qing looked ahead and saw three islands.

Clouds rose above the island, ethereal energy swirled, and divine light shone, with endless layers of celestial light overlapping to form a protective array around the island.

Within the island, rare and exotic plants can be found everywhere, strange beasts can be seen running around from time to time, and plant spirits can be seen playing.

"What a blessed land! Junior brothers and sisters' temple is indeed a blessed land."

Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals smiled smugly as they listened to Chen Qing's words.

"That's right. Senior Brother Chen Qing, you may not know, but after many years of management by the three of us sisters, this Three Immortal Islands, though not as grand as our teacher's Daoist temple, is still a first-class blessed land in the primordial world."

"Senior brother, let's head to the island first."

As Bixiao said this, she invited Chen Qing to go to the Three Immortal Islands first.

Upon seeing this, Chen Qing nodded in agreement.

The five descended from the clouds and landed on the Three Immortal Islands.

Yunxiao walked at the front, with Bixiao and Qiongxiao following behind, the three of them acting as guides, while Zhao Gongming chose to walk side by side with Chen Qing and the other two.

The three immortals led the way, guiding Chen Qing to a pavilion.

Chen Qing looked at the pavilion with an appreciative eye.

The pavilion was covered with innate warm jade, with pillars made of ten-thousand-year-old golden essence, a table made of crystal coral, and benches made of innate blood jade.

"What a fine pavilion! It's a perfect place for philosophical discussions."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao smiled and invited Chen Qing to sit down.

Seeing this, Chen Qing followed suit and sat down as well, since the four of them had already taken their seats.

After seeing that Chen Qing had already sat down, Yunxiao casually waved his hand, and a tea set appeared.

"Senior Brother Chen Qing, this is a flower tea that my two sisters and I make in our spare time. It is made with innate spiritual flowers and various rare flowers, but we have never served it to guests before."

"Today, Senior Brother Chen Qing has come to Three Immortals Island. Please have a taste and see how the flower tea made by Junior Sister is."

As he said this, Yunxiao casually gestured, drawing innate spiritual spring water into the teapot.

The teapot floated in the air, and a ball of flame spontaneously appeared at the bottom of the pot, slowly burning at the bottom.

Soon, a peculiar floral fragrance wafted from the teapot and entered the mouths and noses of the five people present.

"Junior Sister, this flower tea has a unique flavor. Making flower tea from these innate spiritual flowers, using innate spiritual jade as a teapot, and brewing it with innate spiritual spring water is quite good."

"Discussing philosophy over tea is truly a wonderful thing."

Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals smiled upon hearing this.

"What you say is absolutely right, senior brother. Discussing philosophy over tea is truly one of life's greatest pleasures."

Yunxiao picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Chen Qing first, then poured a cup for Zhao Gongming, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao.

"Senior brother, please try this flower tea made by my three sisters and me."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing no longer stood on ceremony and picked up his teacup to begin tasting it.

The moment the floral tea enters your mouth, you feel a burst of fragrance, with several floral aromas stimulating your taste buds.

"The flower tea made by my junior sister is quite good. After tasting it, it not only fills the mouth with fragrance, but also has a slightly sweet taste."

"If possible, when you leave, could you please give me some tea, so that I may brew tea and enjoy the scenery in my spare time?"

After drinking it, Chen Qing felt that the flower tea was quite good, which directly stated his needs.

Upon hearing this, the three Xiao sisters exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with joy, and readily agreed.

"Senior brother, you've gone too far. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have prepared a portion for you. After this discussion, when you leave, I'll prepare a cup of flower tea for you to take back and enjoy."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing was in high spirits and a smile appeared on his face.

"In that case, thank you very much, Junior Sister."

The five of them each enjoyed their tea and then began to discuss the Dao, their conversation always revolving around the Dao.

Chen Qing looked at Zhao Gongming and the three Xiaos, a smile appearing on his face.

"Since this is a discussion on the Dao, I will first offer my humble opinion as a starting point. After I have finished explaining, my junior brothers and sisters can then share their own understanding of the Dao."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals nodded and quietly watched Chen Qing, waiting for his explanation.

Seeing this, Chen Qing took another sip of her flower tea and then began to explain.

"What is the Way? And what is the purpose of the Way?"

"The Dao is everywhere and it is hidden in everything. All things are the Dao. The operation of the Dao and the life and death of all things are all the Dao."

"The Tao transforms all things, nurturing heaven and earth; when all things return to stillness, they turn into dust."

"Drinking tea is a way of cultivating the Tao, brewing tea is also a way of cultivating the Tao, and walking in the daily world is also a way of cultivating the Tao."

"The Tao is everywhere, the Tao exists everywhere."

"The sun, moon, stars, and rivers are the Way; plants, trees, mountains, and rivers are the Way."

"The Tao can give birth to all things, and the Tao can also destroy all things."

"The Great Way begins to be born, and the Great Way returns to stillness."

"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things."

The Tao is cyclical and ever-repeating, "circulating without ceasing."

"What is the Dao? The Dao is the law, the principle. Following the law, all things have their own destiny."

Zhao Gongming and the other three members of the Sanxiao Sect listened to Chen Qing's explanation with puzzled expressions.

However, because Chen Qing's explanation was somewhat profound, the four of them couldn't understand it for a while.

This cannot be blamed on Chen Qing. He has now comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao, and the Great Dao he explains is beyond their comprehension.

The five of them had just been enjoying their flower tea when they suddenly began a philosophical discussion.

After explaining, Chen Qing stopped talking and looked at Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortals. Seeing the thoughtful expressions on their faces, he then slowly began to drink his flower tea.

The four were still pondering the Great Dao that Chen Qing had spoken of. At this moment, as they thought about what Chen Qing had said and connected it with the Great Dao spoken of by their own teacher, they began to have some understanding of the Great Dao.
