Two people discuss the Dao in the palace, rejecting the Primordial Purple Qi.

"My cultivation is far inferior to yours, fellow Daoist. How can I be worthy of being addressed as fellow Daoist or elder brother?" Tongtian quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

Lin Yang smiled and said, "In our clan, seniority is the order of seniority. Since you were born before me, I should naturally call you Brother Dao."

"I am ashamed, I am ashamed."

Hearing Lin Yang say this, Tongtian naturally could no longer refuse, so he got onto Lin Yang's cloud bed and sat opposite Lin Yang.

Looking at Lin Yang, Tongtian didn't know how to speak for a moment.

Lin Yang asked with a smile, "Brother Dao, you've come to retrieve the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian immediately perked up and looked at Lin Yang nervously: "Fellow Daoist."

Lin Yang took out the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram.

Tong Tianxia instinctively wanted to take it back.

But Lin Yang immediately took it back.

Tongtian got nothing and stared longingly at Lin Yang.

"The Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram can be returned to you, fellow Daoist, but..." Lin Yang said.

"But what?"

Tongtian asked anxiously.

Lin Yang found Tongtian's expression somewhat amusing, but he held back and said, "However, Brother Dao will have to offer something in exchange!"

"Moreover, even if I were to return it to you, it would take some time. I'm quite interested in this array diagram and plan to study it."

Tongtian's brows furrowed immediately.

He needed to exchange something for it, which stumped him.

What should I take?

"Brother Dao, you collected so many treasures at the Treasure Distribution Cliff back then, wouldn't it be easy to take back one of equal value?"

Lin Yang said, "Although the Immortal Slaughtering Formation Diagram is precious, the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation cannot be set up without the Four Immortal Slaughtering Swords. It's just a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, why bother with it, brother?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoist."

"In that case, I will exchange this treasure with you, fellow Daoist!"

Tongtian took a longevity lock off his neck. The lock was golden in color, and strange Heavenly Dao runes were engraved on both sides of it.

There were three white jade chains beneath the lock. This longevity lock was actually called the Heart-Piercing Lock. It was a top-tier innate spiritual treasure, with extraordinary power.

It was also a cherished possession of Tongtian, which he wore around his neck.

Tongtian handed the Heart-Piercing Lock to Lin Yang, who took it and said, "I will return the array diagram to you after I have finished studying it. It won't be long."

"I believe in you, fellow Daoist," Tongtian said.

Lin Yang put away the Heart-Piercing Lock and suddenly said, "Brother Tongtian, I have been cultivating in seclusion at the Undying Volcano and rarely go out. After attaining enlightenment, I have even fewer friends who can discuss the Dao with me."

"Now that you, fellow Daoist, are here, why don't we discuss the Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian was somewhat tempted, but then he remembered that he had only accomplished half of his mission, and he couldn't help but feel conflicted.

"Brother Dao, are you perhaps unwilling?" Lin Yang pressed.

Tongtian quickly waved his hand, "Not at all, fellow Daoist's cultivation is far superior to mine. It is my honor to be able to discuss the Dao with you!"

"In that case, please do so," Lin Yang said with a smile, while secretly informing the Grand Elder of the matter.

Tell the elder to summon the clansmen to come and listen to the sermon.

This was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Lin Yang, after all, a saint had come to his door, and he seemed rather foolish.

Lin Yang felt he couldn't live with himself if he didn't make full use of it.

Tongtian was unaware that Lin Yang had already taken him for a fool. At this moment, he stopped thinking about anything else and with a thought, a cloud of auspiciousness appeared above his head.

The area was about an acre in size. Above the auspicious clouds, three large blue lotuses emitted a clear and cool glow. A chaotic immortal light continuously descended, and a buzzing sound of the Dao resounded and spread out.

Lin Yang smiled upon seeing this, his body trembled, and a cloud of auspiciousness appeared above his head. It was like a cloud of fire, with raging flames. Within the cloud of auspiciousness, there seemed to be a phoenix tree, seemingly real yet not real, seemingly illusory yet not illusory.

On the parasol tree, a phoenix perches, letting out a long cry that shakes the heavens.

The two discussed the Dao without speaking a word, yet each manifested their own Dao, the Dao's essence spreading in all directions, its sound resonating in all directions. Their discussion and exchange of ideas was more substantial than anything else.

And so, the two discussed the Dao, and before they knew it, nearly a thousand years had passed.

When Tongtian stopped discussing the Dao and opened his eyes, he found that in Lin Yang's palace, the Second Elder Kong, who had previously led him there, and another young man who looked somewhat similar to Lin Yang were also sitting there listening to the Dao.

Outside the palace, countless members of the Phoenix Clan were gathered, their figures barely visible.

Seeing this, Tongtian could only shake his head with a wry smile.

Lin Yang smiled at Tongtian and said, "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, fellow Daoist."

Tongtian shook his head and said, "It's just a small matter."

"Um."

Lin Yang nodded without saying anything more.

At this point, the sermon ended, and the Grand Elder and Kong Xuan woke up one after another. Both of them had gained a lot from the sermon.

After rising and bowing to Tongtian, the two withdrew and dispersed the clansmen outside the palace.

With the gates closed, only Tongtian and Lin Yang remained in the palace.

Tongtian seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Lin Yang then asked, "Brother, is there something else you wish to discuss?"

"That's exactly right."

Tongtian said, "Fellow Daoist Lin Yang, besides retrieving the array diagram from you, I have also come to see you on the orders of Master Hongjun."

As he spoke, Tongtian took out a wisp of primordial purple energy from his sleeve and asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you recognize this item?"

Lin Yang was immediately shocked when he saw the Primordial Purple Qi. Although he had never seen it before, it did not hinder his understanding of it.

What else could such a mysterious purple aura be but primordial purple aura?

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Yang's mind: "Ding, Tongtian has delivered Hongmeng Purple Qi on the orders of Hongjun. The host may make the following choices."

"Option 1: Refine the Primordial Purple Qi and become a Heavenly Saint to receive the Primordial Treasure Hunyuan Sword as a reward."

"Option 2: Reject the Primordial Purple Qi and remain a Primordial Golden Immortal. You will receive a Creation Jade Fragment as a reward."

……

"System, I choose option two." Without even thinking about it, Lin Yang immediately chose to refuse the task.

Only a fool would attempt to refine the Primordial Purple Qi to become a Heavenly Saint.

Another fragment of the Jade Tablet of Creation has been acquired, bringing my total to five.

Lin Yang looked at the Primordial Purple Qi that Tongtian had taken out and laughed, "This is the so-called foundation for becoming a saint, the Primordial Purple Qi?"

Tongtian nodded and said, "That's right."

"The master said that if you are willing, you can refine this Primordial Purple Qi and become a Heavenly Saint, immortal and indestructible."

"I don't know, brother..."

Before Tongtian could finish speaking, Lin Yang shook his head and said, "Please thank Dao Ancestor for his kindness on my behalf."

"However, I believe that cultivation must be done by oneself. Relying on external aids is not what I desire!"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian was startled, as if he had been enlightened once again. He realized that cultivation does not rely on external aids, but must be done by oneself.

But remembering Hongjun's instructions from Zixiao Palace, Tongtian couldn't help but advise, "Brother Dao, won't you reconsider?"

"There are still differences between a Primordial Golden Immortal and a Heavenly Saint."

Lin Yang shook his head firmly: "Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together. Since I have attained enlightenment through my own efforts, why would I refine this object to become a Heavenly Saint?"

"Brother Tongtian, you have your path, and I have mine. How can you possibly persuade me?"

Upon hearing this, Tongtian sighed and said, "Very well, what you say is not without reason."

"I'm just afraid that in the future, things will repeat themselves between us, just like before!"

"If you are no match for them, fellow Daoist, won't you be imprisoned forever?"

Lin Yang laughed loudly, "What do I have to fear?"

"Brother Dao, please say no more. Go now. We will meet again in the future. As for the array diagram, I will have my clansmen send it to Kunlun Mountain to return it to you in five hundred years."

After saying that, Lin Yang waved his sleeve, and the palace door opened, as if to see the guest off.
