After Li Yi dealt with Tongtian, he turned to Yuanshi and said:
"Second brother, if Fellow Daoist Nuwa asks to borrow your Qiankun Ding in the future, you must not be stingy."
Although Yuanshi was confused, he agreed with Li Yi.
After Yuanshi agreed, only the gourd vine was left, but that gourd vine only appeared during Hongjun's second sermon, so there was no rush now.
The immediate priority was to improve his cultivation. Thinking this, Li Yi immediately headed for Kunlun with all his might.
After the three of them returned, Li Yi immediately went into seclusion. Originally, Yuanshi and Tongtian also wanted to enter seclusion with Li Yi, but they had just returned and were entangled by Qilin, Duobao, and Taiyi, so they couldn't get away.
Duobao and Qilin of the Tongtian Sect had already practiced their formations and sword techniques to a considerable extent.
Taiyi also pestered Yuanshi, asking him to teach him the art of artifact refining.
On Yuqing Peak, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth's fire element grew increasingly dense, making Fusang and Dijun extremely comfortable.
Taiyi went with Yuanshi to learn artifact refining, while Fusang was also quietly cultivating. Dijun found that his comprehension of the Great Dao had reached a bottleneck. He pondered for a long time without any results, feeling lost.
Everyone thought that Dijun and Taiyi cultivated the Dao of Light. In reality, although they were born on the sun star and did cultivate the Dao of Light, it was not their primary cultivation. They primarily cultivated the Imperial Dao.
Dijun murmured to himself:
"If Taiyi and I cannot become emperors in this Imperial Dao, I fear further progress will be impossible. However, Kunlun is ultimately the territory of the Sanqing. It is not realistic for my brother and I to claim emperorship here."
"Taiyi has only just begun to learn artifact refining. I don't know when he will achieve mastery."
Dijun remembered that when Tongtian discussed the Dao with him, Li Yi had said that the Hetu Luoshu contained the Great Dao of Stars. If one could comprehend it, it would greatly aid in the art of formations.
Therefore, Dijun decided to comprehend the Hetu Luoshu and wait for Taiyi during the period he was learning.
After speaking, Dijun stared blankly at the Yuqing Palace, as if he could see Taiyi diligently studying.
In the artifact refining hall of the Yuqing Palace, Taiyi was attentively listening to Yuanshi's explanation of various precautions during artifact refining.
After Yuanshi finished explaining, he let Taiyi practice on his own, while Yuanshi watched from the side, offering occasional guidance.
On Shangqing Peak, Tongtian was also diligently teaching Duobao and Qilin.
Every day on Yuqing Peak and Shangqing Peak, this scene was repeated until ten thousand years later.
One day, after Taiyi finished practicing, he did not return to his residence but went to find Dijun. When Taiyi found Dijun, he saw that Dijun was comprehending the Hetu Luoshu. Just as Taiyi was about to leave, Dijun suddenly spoke:
"Little brother, why are you looking for me!"
Taiyi smiled and said to Dijun:
"Big brother, I saw you were cultivating and didn't want to disturb you, but I still disturbed you!"
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Speak, what do you want from your brother!"
"Big brother, I've found that my Eastern Emperor Dao seems to have reached a bottleneck. Your Imperial Dao is relatively close to mine, so I came to ask if you have any solutions."
Dijun did not answer Taiyi's question but instead asked:
"Taiyi, do you think we can achieve the Imperial Dao without being emperors?"
Taiyi did not know why Dijun asked this and said doubtfully:
"Big brother, what does this have to do with my Great Dao bottleneck?"
Dijun looked at Taiyi's foolishness, shook his head, and sighed:
"Little brother, if our Imperial Dao is to advance further, we might have to leave this Kunlun Mountain!"
Upon hearing this, Taiyi quickly asked:
"Big brother, why is that!"
"Whether it's my Imperial Dao or your Eastern Emperor Dao, they both belong to the Imperial Dao. If we want to advance further, I'm afraid we two will have to become emperors. Only then can your cultivated Great Dao advance further."
After hearing Dijun's words, although Taiyi was extremely reluctant, for the sake of his Great Dao, he gritted his teeth and said:
"I will go and bid farewell to master, and we will go out together to forge a world that belongs to us brothers."
Just as Taiyi was about to return to find Yuanshi, a voice suddenly came from outside Kunlun:
"Xihe and Changxi have come to visit Fellow Daoists Sanqing!"
In the Taiqing Palace, after the voices of Xihe and Changxi arrived, Li Yi woke up from his seclusion.
Li Yi got up and headed towards the outside of Kunlun.
A white light flashed across Yuqing Peak and Shangqing Peak, and Yuanshi and Tongtian also came towards the outside of Kunlun.
Li Yi and his two brothers met at the mountain gate and looked closely. It was indeed Xihe and Changxi from the Taiyin Star.
Li Yi thought that Dijun and Taiyi were also on Kunlun Mountain, and in the future, these four would be two couples. He planned to introduce them soon to see if any different sparks could be ignited.
Li Yi and his two brothers quickly stepped forward and bowed. Li Yi said:
"Your arrival at this desolate mountain is truly unexpected!"
Upon hearing Li Yi's words, Xihe teased:
"If your Kunlun Mountain is a desolate mountain, then there would be no sacred land in this world!"
"Please don't tease this humble Daoist. Please come inside!"
After Li Yi finished speaking, the three of them made a welcoming gesture. Xihe and Changxi did not dare to be presumptuous. After coming to the side of the three of them, they also made a welcoming gesture.
The five of them headed towards the Taiqing Palace together.
On Yuqing Peak, Dijun heard the voice and immediately said to Taiyi:
"Little brother, let's also go to Taiqing Palace to see which fellow Daoist has arrived. It's actually Sanqing welcoming them together. We can also take this opportunity to bid farewell to the three fellow Daoists." Su Dan Novel Network
As soon as Dijun finished speaking, Fusang appeared beside the two of them. Fusang said to Dijun:
"Have you two really made up your minds! Have you decided to leave this place!"
Dijun looked at Fusang and nodded resolutely:
"Senior, we have decided. Would Senior like to come with us?"
"Alas!"
"Forget it, you two little fellows should go out and forge a world of your own. This old man will not join the fun!"
Taiyi's eyes showed reluctance. Although Fusang was sometimes very strict with him, Taiyi knew that Fusang loved him.
Seeing that Fusang was on Kunlun Mountain, Dijun said to Fusang:
"Senior, please rest assured, Taiyi and I will come back to see you!"
Fusang smiled and said to Dijun:
"Alright, since you two are going to bid farewell to Sanqing, I will go and see you off as well!"
After saying that, the three of them headed towards the Taiqing Palace.
After Li Yi and his two brothers invited Xihe and Changxi into the Taiqing Palace, they ordered Jinjiao and Yinjiao to bring spiritual fruits and tea.
As soon as Li Yi sat down, he saw the arrival of Dijun, Taiyi, and Fusang.
The moment Fusang appeared, a person suddenly appeared in the hall.
