True Profound Dojo.

With the departure of the Barbarian Emperor and Buddha Baoshu, the original clamor gradually quieted down, but the shock in everyone's eyes did not diminish, all gazing at Taoist Baishan.

Now that the melee had ceased, the initial tension faded away.

Only then did they begin to realize what had happened.

Initially, they thought they were attending the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony of a newly ascended celestial of the True Profound Sect. Who would have thought that this so-called fledgling celestial was indeed the legendary founder of the True Profound Sect, True Profound True Monarch!

"We pay our respects to the True Monarch!" A majestic voice echoed across the True Profound Mountain as everyone respectfully bowed.

This was a living True Monarch.

To receive even a hint of guidance from him was an unparalleled opportunity, a fortune beyond words.

Their eyes were filled with fervor.

Taoist Baishan simply smiled and waved his hand.

Now that they had emerged, there was no need to hide any longer. After all, in a few days, the ancient ones would all reveal themselves.

"Thank you all for attending the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony of I, Taoist Baishan, and apologies for the fright." He was not pretentious, and everyone felt honored, quickly expressing their unwillingness to accept such honor.

The disciples of the True Profound Sect were extremely zealous.

The appearance of the legendary founder before their eyes was a dream-like realization of faith, bringing many older Taoists to tears. They never imagined that the unassuming True Man Baishan was their founder.

Ning Qi had returned at some unknown time.

Taoist Longshan exchanged glances with him, Ning Qi merely nodded with a smile, instantly easing Longshan's mind while marveling at the silent understanding between master and disciple. Meanwhile, the other True Martial disciples were unaware of the situation, except Zhuang Chen and Li Ling, who had some suspicions.

Taoist Baishan glanced at Ning Qi, then raised his voice to say:

"Today, I shall explain the Path of Celestial Being to you all."

They had reached the time for expounding on the Tao, only to be interrupted by the people from Dajue Temple. Now, without disturbances, they could continue.

One should not accept gifts without giving back.

Everyone was instantly in an uproar.

The True Monarch personally explaining the Tao exceeded all expectations, causing Taoist Longshan to sit upright, even Ning Qi showed some anticipation.

On the Tao platform.

Taoist Baishan sat casually, and the vast Tao Sound arose:

"The Celestial Being cultivates the Three Flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Human. Though three are named heaven, earth, and human, the root does not escape the character 'human'..."

At this moment, Taoist Baishan's demeanor was ethereal, gradually elucidating the principles of the celestial being, naturally exuding the demeanor of a True Monarch. Occasionally, visions of mountains and rivers appeared in the sky, white cranes circling around, the vast Tao Sound left the guests entranced, feeling as if enlightened.

Ning Qi could tell that Taoist Baishan was being completely forthright.

Whether to compensate for the disturbance caused today or for another reason, he explained the Path of Celestial Being with thorough clarity, virtually giving everything away.

Not only that, he was also using mysterious powers to enhance his teaching, helping others.

This was the insight of a Martial Saint Realm expert into the Path of Celestial Being, an extraordinary perspective from atop a high vantage point, even Ning Qi felt he was gaining, let alone others, some were moved to tears, resonating with the sentiment that to hear the Tao in the morning is to die content by evening.

Unknown how much time had passed.

Only then did Taoist Baishan gradually stop his lecture.

The guests were still reminiscing, everyone had gained something, and some even broke through on the spot, full of thanks.

"We thank the True Monarch for the grace of imparting the Tao!"

Everyone was excited and immensely grateful.

This was not mere politeness but entirely heartfelt.

Today, what Taoist Baishan taught was an all-encompassing revelation of the Path of Celestial Being before everyone, something impossible at past Celestial Being Grand Ceremonies. The greatest beneficiaries were the celestial beings present, as today's transmission dispelled many of their confusions, and as long as they continued step by step, they could achieve realms they never dared to dream of.

As for the others at the Gang Essence Realm or younger individuals, they also gained much. The Celestial Human Realm might be far from them, but today's detailed explanation set a goal for them to pursue.

Taoist Baishan chuckled and lifted his brow:

"You must recall and strive diligently."

There seemed to be an admonishment or encouragement hidden in his words, and everyone was even more grateful. Ning Qi raised an eyebrow; at first, he thought Taoist Baishan was trying to compensate the guests for the disruption of the Celestial Being Grand Ceremony. But it seemed now that it wasn't entirely the case, otherwise, he wouldn't be teaching so selflessly.

The feeling now seemed more like he hoped everyone would increase their strength to face something.

He began to speculate.

Everyone respectfully bowed:

"We shall remember the True Monarch's teachings!"

After a moment of silence, a Celestial Human Realm expert bravely stood up, from the world-renowned first Taoism Yin Yang Sect, named True Man Yangli, he took a deep breath and said:

"There is something I wish to ask the True Monarch!"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Taoist Baishan said indifferently:

"Speak."

True Man Yangli, cautious not to offend, asked carefully:

"May I ask if the True Monarch has lived for tens of thousands of years?"

Taoist Baishan slowly shook his head:

"No, a Martial Saint can live up to only three thousand years. We ancient saints came to this world using different means."

Ning Qi's eyes narrowed.

"True Monarch, with the ancient saints appearing one after another, is there some major event about to happen?" Many eyes were filled with yearning, faintly sensing unease.

Taoist Baishan was silent for a long while before sighing:

"The time is not yet ripe."
