He was all set for a life of lying flat, but unexpectedly transmigrated to the Primordial World and became a golden elixir in Laozi’s Eight Trigrams Furnace. Laozi took him on as an unofficial disciple and named him Xuande.
But the Three Pure Ones had already broken through to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Why, then, did the Dao Ancestor want to meet him?
At Zixiao Palace, the Three Pure Ones refused to take Hongjun as their master.
With a casual recitation of the Dao De Jing, Taiqing drew far-reaching insights from a few words, every line a true saying of the Dao.
Xuande was thoroughly impressed. The original author really lived up to his reputation!
After obtaining the forces of yin and yang, Xuande devoted himself wholly to the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, becoming a true disciple of Taiqing.
【All things carry yin and embrace yang; their blending qi brings harmony: Yin-Yang Clash Art】
【All things under heaven are born from being; being is born from nonbeing: Art of Dissolving and Transforming】
【Know the white, keep to the black, and become the model for all under heaven: Seal of Knowing the White and Keeping to the Black, suppressing all things】
【Hold fast to the Great Form, and all under heaven will come to you. They come unharmed, at peace: Wheel of the Great Form, indestructible】
【The gate of the Mysterious Female is called the root of Heaven and Earth. It endures, seemingly without being, and its use is never exhausted: Life-Giving Qi of Creation】
…
Wielding the Yin-Yang Dragon-Whisk Fan, Xuande softly recited the Dao De Jing, conjuring divine abilities to shield himself. And Taiqing, too, attained the Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortal realm ahead of schedule.
When humanity finally appeared, the Celestial Worthy of the Dao and Virtue, Taiqing, chose not to establish a human sect.
During humanity’s great tribulation, Xuande comprehended the One Qi Transforming into the Three Pure Ones, and at last learned the truth of the world!
This world was no newborn realm!
Xuande smiled with understanding. Since a supreme being had personally sent this poor Daoist into reincarnation, he would bear the karma himself.
I, this poor Daoist, am the true Three Pure Ones!
The mastermind who ruined my life of lying flat has finally shown himself. Now take this divine technique of Dao and Virtue!
