The palace stretched high into the violet heavens, with towers and terraces shrouded in the rosy clouds of dawn.
Guang Chengzi and his inner sect disciples, following the decree of Yuanshi Tianzun, arrived before the Yuxu Peak of East Kunlun.
They beheld three vast celestial realms floating in the void, filled with the innate primordial qi, radiant with infinite auspicious light.
"Are those Qingwei Heaven, Da Chi Heaven, and Yu Yu Heaven?"
The disciples gazed at the ethereal cosmos above Yuxu Peak, vaguely seeing the phantasmal figures of the three Supreme Gods within.
The names of the Three Pure Ones shone upon all heavens, and as core disciples of the Chan Sect, they naturally memorized the reverential thirty-two-character titles.
This signified their own line of heritage and the prestigious status of the three Ancestors of the Heavenly Immortal lineage.
The Three Pure Heavens before them would likely become the supreme pilgrimage site for the Heavenly Immortal lineage across all realms in the future.
Any who ascended to the rank of Heavenly Immortal must enter the Three Pure Heavens to pay homage to the Three Ancestral Masters, only then could their names be recorded in the Heavenly Book, obtaining the highest certification of the Heavenly Immortal.
"Senior Brother, if in the future there are cultivators achieving Dao Fruits of the Heavenly Immortal in the Three Pure Heavens, would they subject to something like an axe test?" Chi Jingzi looked towards Guang Chengzi.
The fact that their master possessed the Yuxu Sky-opening Axe was no secret in the Chan Sect.
Guang Chengzi laughed, "Junior Brother, you worry too much. The 'axe test' is a privilege reserved for Da Luo Supremes. No way our master would impose such trials on ordinary cultivators achieving the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit."
Taoyi True Master whispered, "So, does this mean that even if we achieve Dao, we don't have to go through innate trials first, but might still get chopped?"
As these words were spoken, the disciples' hearts tightened.
Such a possibility couldn't be dismissed!
Given their master's disposition, in earnestness, he was unmatchably dignified and overwhelming in presence.
In jest... he was still overwhelmingly intimidating.
"Your idea sounds quite good. Perhaps we can add this test in the future, as a special privilege of our Heavenly Immortal lineage."
Xuanqing's voice suddenly resonated in the disciples' ears.
It was over...
The disciples, with trepidation, entered the Yuxu Palace.
Upon the Cloud Platform, the Three Pure Ones displayed their majestic and solemn countenances.
Taishang on the right, Xuanqing in the center, and Yu Chen on the left,
The inner sect disciples of the Chan Sect, with Guang Chengzi at the core, lined up in an orderly manner.
"Greetings, Master and Martial Uncles!"
Taishang looked upon the thirteen disciples of the Chan Sect with a smile of appreciation in his eyes, "Not bad, not bad. All of you are pillars of our Heavenly Immortal lineage!"
Aside from Huang Long, Yun Zhongzi, and Ju Liusun, the other disciples had been deeply cultivated in Hell, selected from the best.
As for Huang Long, being from the Dragon Clan, he was also highly talented, thanks to the somewhat unorthodox teachings of Xuanqing's Spiritual Treasures.
Yun Zhongzi, needless to say, was a Pure Heavenly Dao incarnate, a Fortune Immortal capable of bestowing merit upon himself.
The only relatively normal one was Ju Liusun, King Zhuanlun of the Nine Netherworld World, who followed the Reincarnation Purple Jade Lotus Platform, hence the Nine Netherworld Expiation Heavenly Venerate, into the sect, bringing his own resources.
His aptitude and cultivation were on par with the other disciples like Guang Chengzi, though his level of unorthodoxy needed enhancement.
Of course, if Taishang knew that Ju Liusun had chosen the Immortal Binding Rope from the treasure vault of Wu City Heavenly Palace, learning to use Turtle Shell Binding, he wouldn't consider him normal anymore.
Daoist Lord Yu Chen looked at the disciples with incessant nodding, "I am truly envious of you, Dao Brother, having such excellent talents and gems among your ranks!"
He was very enthusiastic about guiding beings in their cultivation.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so idle to preach to the Five-Colored Lion.
Xuanqing laughed, "Why envy? If you were to want disciples, beings would queue from Yuxu Palace to the East Sea to apprentice under you."
"It's not yet the time." Daoist Lord Yu Chen smiled and shook his head, somehow recalling the companions he met in the Dragon Clan Main Temple.
"Master!"
Guang Chengzi stepped forward, producing four jade scrolls:
"Our Heavenly Immortal Sect has now settled in Kunlun Mountain, and the names of the Three Pure Ones shine upon the heavens. To let future disciples know our lineage and strengthen the transmission of our orthodoxy, we, your disciples, have boldly drafted four Treasure Decrees for our master to review."
The core purpose of Treasure Decrees was to clarify the ancestry, achievements, authority, and powers of the divine, possessing immense mighty force.
Reciting the Treasure Decree not only showed respect to the Ancestral Masters but also helped in realizing the Great Dao, cultivating temperament, and averting disasters.
Moreover, through ritual arrangements and recitation of Treasure Decrees, one could communicate with the divine, summoning them at critical times.
In other words, it's commonly known as asking the Ancestor Master to take charge!
Guang Chengzi confirmed the Treasure Decree of the Three Pure Ones, aiming both to extol the fame of the three Heavenly Venerates and to provide benefits for the Heavenly Immortal lineage disciples.
"Your thorough consideration is admirable." Xuanqing praised Guang Chengzi greatly, who, devoted to the development of the Chan Sect, was worthy of the title "Inner Sect Senior Brother."
Guang Chengzi presented the four Treasure Decrees, the "Sanqing General Decree" created by himself, while
The "Yuqing Treasure Decree," "Taiqing Treasure Decree," and "Shangqing Treasure Decree" were co-created by the disciples on the way here.
Xuanqing took the "Yuqing Treasure Decree," his mind moved.
The Red Book Jade Characters floated ethereally in the void.
"With a devoted mind, I bow in worship. Above the Three Realms, the Brahman qi fills the cosmos. Supreme of the supreme, Heaven among the heavens... within the Treasure Bead, profound beyond profundity. Revealing the Three Sceneries, creating all heavens... Da Luo Yuqing, void and natural, the truly miraculous Great Dao Primordial Heavenly Venerate."
Taishang also joyfully recited his Treasure Decree, "With a devoted mind, I bow in worship. Adapting teachings to places, crossing calamities to save beings. Master of Emperors, Teacher of Sovereigns, Instructor of Kings, assuming names and titles… Great Compassionate Vows, Great Holy Mercy, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad Tao Virtue Heavenly Venerate."
