: The Journey of Buzhou, Measuring the Primordial Chaos

Leaving aside others, Donghua sat on the futon, equally immersed in a state of enlightenment.

Three flowers gather at the top, and five energies converge at the origin.

Using the Great Luo Primordial Spirit to drive the fragments of the Creation Jade Disc, one can touch the myriad Daoist principles within the Purple Cloud Palace, analyze the supreme and wondrous truths that have existed between heaven and earth since ancient times, and glimpse the secrets hidden in the deepest part of the universe and spacetime.

Hongjun preached.

The explanation is not just about one or a few major principles, but something like a general outline.

A thousand people will have a thousand different interpretations.

For example, Donghua learned about the Lesser Yang from Hongjun's sermons, as well as the Way of the Four Symbols, the Way of the Five Elements, and so on.

When she arrived at the Queen Mother of the West's place, what she understood may have become the part related to the Lesser Yin Dao.

The abilities of a sage are truly unimaginable.

At this moment, Donghua's mind resonated with heaven and earth, and the Lesser Yang Qi within his body surged forth, interacting with the outside world and forming a phenomenon of inner and outer illumination.

Understand the mechanism of Yin's exhaustion and Yang's birth, and comprehend the transformation of extreme cold into warmth.

The Great Way of Shaoyang is like the end of winter and the arrival of spring, like the end of night and the beginning of day, like spring thunder resounding in the netherworld, like rivers thawing in the universe.

Donghua had only recently broken through to the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm after defeating Brahma, but after listening to the Dao this time, his understanding of the Great Dao has increased exponentially.

It was actually approaching the realm of the Great Luo Perfection.

All of this is naturally thanks to this sermon. Just as Donghua thought, regardless of Hongjun's purpose, the gains from listening to the sermon were real.

Perhaps some of their fortune will be harvested by Hongjun after they hear the Dao, but compared to the harvest, this price is nothing at all.

Conspiracy theory?

Perhaps, but that is by no means a reason for him to refuse to listen to the sermon.

Not only Donghua, but everyone else in Zixiao Palace also benefited greatly.

Laozi was surrounded by a mysterious light, and his aura became increasingly obscure. The Yin and Yang energies intertwined like dragon whiskers, and he was already showing signs of becoming the leader of the Xuanmen sect.

Golden lamps spread out above Yuanshi's head, and blue sword lotuses appeared all over Tongtian's body.

Fuxi, Nuwa, Styx, Dijun...

Each of the Great Immortals gained a great deal. With sages explaining the great principles, unless they were special cases like the Witch Clan, if they still couldn't gain any understanding, they might as well give up and go to sleep.

Many people even broke through their cultivation levels while listening to the teachings.

However, looking at all the immortals in the arena...

Most people were at the early stage of the Great Luo realm, with a small portion at the middle stage.

Only a handful of powerful cultivators, such as Donghua, Laozi, and Dijun, have reached the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

The difference in everyone's background was gradually becoming apparent at this point.

This went on for a full ten thousand years. Finally, Hongjun finished speaking the last word, stopped, and said, "The time has come. This lecture will end here. The Zixiao Palace will reopen after three Yuanhui (a unit of time in Chinese calendar).

"That's it?"

Hearing Hongjun's words, the Great Luo Immortals were still not satisfied.

"You may all go back!"

After saying this, Hongjun's figure vanished from the Dao platform. Seeing that Hongjun had given the order to leave, the immortals all said, "We respectfully see off the Dao Ancestor!"

They left either alone or in twos and threes.

……

When Donghua and his group arrived, there were three of them, but when they returned, there were five of them, and the team had grown considerably without them even realizing it.

The two extra people were naturally Jin Hongshi and Yun Zhongjun.

Just as they were about to cross the chaos and arrive at the Great Primordial World, Donghua suddenly remembered something and said, "Since I took human form, although I have traveled to all corners of the world, I have never been to Buzhou Mountain."

"Since we're on the way right now, why don't we go check out Buzhou Mountain? If we can find some fortuitous opportunity, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West replied, "To be honest, brother, I had the same thought."

Jin Hong laughed and said, "I've long heard of the great name of Buzhou Mountain, but I've never seen it before. It's a good opportunity to go and see it for myself."

Neither Xuan Nu nor Yun Zhong Jun had any objections.

Having made up his mind, Donghua followed his intuition and headed straight for the location of Buzhou Mountain.

More than a hundred years passed before the group finally passed through the nine layers of celestial atmosphere and landed at the top of Buzhou Mountain.

Buzhou Mountain, the first sacred mountain in the primordial world.

More accurately, it should now be called Zhou Mountain, which was formed from the spine of the great god Pangu.

It's called a mountain, but its actual size is unknown.

From the starry sky above to the deepest hell below, the sun, moon, and stars adorn the heavens like bright pearls, and the myriad wonders of the heavens flow and change in extraordinary ways.

Despite enduring millions of years of wind and frost, it still possesses an enduring sense of desolation.

Even though the great god Pangu has been dead for countless years, a terrifying pressure still lingers around Mount Buzhou. Below the Great Luo level, it is almost impossible to move an inch.

However, this Buzhou Mountain was eventually broken by Gonggong, a stubborn man, who smashed it with his head.

It's really hard to imagine how hard the other person's head is.

However, this also shows just how terrifying the physical bodies of the Twelve Ancestral Witches truly are.

The collapse of Mount Buzhou, which served as the pillar of heaven, benefited Yuanshi, allowing him to forge the Fantian Seal, a supreme acquired treasure that was no less powerful than any innate spiritual treasure.

Guang Chengzi also became known as the "Saintly Killer".

Now that we've come to Buzhou Mountain, besides paying homage to the legacy of the great god Pangu, we should naturally search for any possible opportunities.

If you were to ask where the most opportunities in the primordial world were, if Mount Buzhou were second, then no place would dare claim to be first.

Just as they arrived at the top of Buzhou Mountain, the fragment of the Creation Jade Disc in Donghua's primordial spirit suddenly trembled, scattering thousands of purple lights, as if it had sensed something.

Noticing the unusual movement of this object, Donghua's heart skipped a beat:

"The Jade Disc of Creation is a supreme treasure for enlightenment, containing the Three Thousand Great Daos. Could this unusual movement be due to sensing something?"

Following the pulsation of the Jade Disc of Creation, they walked step by step into the distance.

But amidst an inconspicuous cluster of precipitous cliffs and rocks, a wisp of chaotic energy swirled, from which faint wisps of purple-gold light emanated.

"Is there really treasure?"

Upon seeing this, Donghua narrowed his eyes slightly and directly drew the Qingyang Sword.

He then unleashed the power of his own Dao Fruit, and the Qingyang Sword transformed into an immortal azure dragon, spewing out countless strands of Shaoyang sword energy from its mouth.

"Boom!"

With Donghua's violent intervention, the entire pile of rocks was leveled, and the lingering chaotic energy was also dispersed, beginning to slowly dissipate.

Immediately, a ruler radiating purple-gold and primordial light flew out.

It is one foot and two inches long, entirely dark yellow, and surrounded by purple mist.

The front of the ruler is engraved with the sun, moon and stars, while the back depicts mountains, rivers and all things. One side is engraved with the character "量" (liang, meaning quantity), and the other side with the character "天" (tian, meaning heaven), all of which are ancient Chinese characters.

As the endless Dao runes flowed, golden lotuses of Daoist charm emerged, their golden light of merit illuminating the entire universe.

It was none other than the Primordial Measuring Ruler, a treasure of acquired merit.

"Swoosh—"

Donghua raised his hand and grasped the object, then imprinted his primordial spirit into it!
