"Why isn’t this kid even a bit shocked? Honestly, it was a waste of Chen Xing’s painstaking efforts, putting up such a display."
Chen Yin, hidden within the Spirit Platform, shook his head, somewhat disappointed.
He and Chen Xing shut themselves away, pondering and deliberating for a full two days.
It was only with great difficulty that they reached a consensus, deciding to completely reveal the true origins of the Three Yang Sect.
Chen Xing had thought he could enjoy seeing Bai Qi aghast and speechless after knowing the truth.
Unexpectedly, this kid remained as calm as still water, completely unmoved, leaving the White Sun Sect Leader feeling defeated.
Back then, when he learned of the Three Yang Sect’s origins in the Ancestor Hall, it was exhilarating, utterly thrilling.
He even quietly found a secluded place to let out three loud shouts to express his emotions.
One must understand that for anything to be justified, it must be in line with the principles!
Throughout history, whoever claimed to be emperor had to occupy a "legitimate" status.
For instance, the story compiled by the Dragon Court depicted the Supreme Emperor being aided by the Five Emperors, descending to assist, dispelling the Turbid Tide, restoring order to the universe, saving the people of the Red County Divine Land from calamity.
Even common folks working as servants or hard laborers would be grateful upon hearing these semi-true folk tales from storytellers, feeling the grace of the Dragon Court was immeasurable.
"Almost forgot to play the part! Although history is written by the victors, the ancestors of the Three Yang Sect were indeed affluent, and have stood for a thousand years without falling, there surely must be extraordinary traits..."
Looking at Master Chen Xing standing with hands behind his back, gazing skyward, as if lonely from life like an avalanche, Bai Qi quickly straightened up:
"Thankfully I have the guidance of Master, this disciple has no regrets joining the Three Yang!"
Seeing the disciple finally respond, Master felt his efforts weren’t in vain, Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, coughed twice, and continued:
"Ah Qi, don’t dismiss the ’legitimacy of the Dao’ as empty words, it’s more significant than the Heirloom Seal of the Realm.
The Four Saints spread the teachings of the heavens, roaming the universe, leading all beings out of ignorance, the Dao Seed’s flame has continued burning from it; this ancient myth recorded in scriptures should be clear to you.
Some of these accounts weren’t fabricated entirely from imagination or exaggeration.
According to the ancient historical records left within the sect, initially, the heavens were chaotic, similar to when the cosmos hadn’t opened, the Four Saints emerged, established the Dao, set laws and fire, achieved great deeds, existing perpetually."
Bai Qi held his breath, silently listening, he couldn’t help but remember the Inner Scenic Land and Guardian Vault he had stumbled into by accident.
Inside were countless historical books, one major tome detailed the Five Dao Chronicles.
The Four Saints established the Dao Court, overseeing the heavens, governing the Ten Thousand Realms, spreading the Dao throughout the universe, respected by all Divine races.
This period was named "Taichu Dao Chronicles."
Following this, the Four Saints vanished, their twelve Immortal Heads took over governance of the Dao Court, managing warfare, law, taxation, and transmission of the Dao.
At that time, the Dao Court radiated through the universe, whether creatures with shells, scales, fur, feathers, or insects had the chance to cultivate the Dao and become immortals.
It was a time of great freedom under the heavens!
This was the "Taiyi Dao Chronicles!"
"Could what Master said about the legitimacy of the Dao be related to the teachings of the Four Saints?"
Bai Qi pondered silently, following closely as Chen Xing walked ahead.
The two of them arrived at a rest pavilion, a gentle breeze grazed over the lake.
As Chen Xing raised his hand, a teacup was already placed in his hand:
"Having a good disciple really is a blessing."
He gently sipped some tea and ate two clean fruits before speaking:
"Legend has it that the Four Saints traversed the universe, the traces of their Dao resonated with the heavens and earth, condensing into what is called the ’Celestial Principle.’
The sun and moon rise in the east and set in the west, rivers flow downward, rain falls, thunder roars... These were established as the initial order of nature.
Though seemingly insignificant, they are actually the ultimate fundamental of yin and yang alternation, the life and death of the world.
The reason Master claims the Three Yang Sect is the legitimate Dao is not self-aggrandizement or boasting.
Before the downfall of the Dao, the Celestial Principle was harmonious, establishing the Dao lineage, originating from ’calamity,’ named the Three Yang.
Chi Yang as fire, White Yang as wind, Qingyang as water, the three rotating, cleansing the universe.
Within the sect, the ’Celestial Principle Mark’ replaces heaven in executing judgments, among past Sect Leaders, some have been given decrees by the Dao Court, reaching the highest level of ’Nine Heavens Responding Origin Yuqing Divine King,’ governing the ’Violet Heaven of the Celestial Realm’ with great power.
Do you know, the heavens and the ways are divided into three realms, Lu State, the universe, and the Upper Realm.
To govern one Upper Realm, such power was akin to standing on par with mythological immortals and Buddhas of ancient times."
Bai Qi was stunned, was the Master’s ancestor really so grand?
Directly opposing the Dragon Court, seizing its position!
"If the Turbid Tide hadn’t invaded, cutting off the legacy, leading to the obliteration of many deeds of the Three Yang Sect, we wouldn’t be deemed rebels.
The Ancestor passed away, that symbol of the Dao’s legitimacy, half of the Celestial Principle Mark, was lost in the calamity of the Dao’s downfall."
Chen Xing sighed deeply.
What?
The Heirloom Seal of the Realm was lost?
Then let’s gradually plan and act on it.
Bai Qi widened his eyes, wanting to pound his chest and stamp his feet.
He had thought of relying on Master’s power to overthrow the Dragon Court and assuming the role of "Crown Prince."
"Of course, even if the Celestial Principle Mark was present, it would be difficult to restore order.
After all, the thousand-year loss of the Dao was due to the Turbid Tide invasion, the shattering of the Celestial Principle, the collapse of rites and music, disorderly governance."
Chen Xing pointed his finger towards the vast sky above, speaking softly:
"Before the downfall of the Dao, the heavens had spirit, after its downfall, there are no heavens anymore."
