Chapter 55: Discussing the Great Dao in the Sanqing Hall...

“The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name… The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth; the named is the mother of all things…”

[The Tao Te Ching is the culmination of your achievements after you became a saint. Shouldn't that be enough to fool you?]

There was really no way to summarize his master's Hunyuan Road, so Xiao Lin could only recite the only two most famous sentences he could remember from the Tao Te Ching.

[Please don't ask any more questions! I really can't memorize the entire Tao Te Ching, as it's so difficult to pronounce! I only know these two sentences!]

"The Tao that can be told... has no name... has a name..."

Tai Shang chewed over these few truths again and again. The more he chewed, the more profound they seemed to me. They are worthy of being the great principles that I will be able to realize in the future!

But when he thought about his own disciple being told these two sentences, Tai Shang felt so angry that his teeth itched... You are such an unlearned person that you don’t even know how to learn all the books of the saints. No wonder you remember that your previous life was just a college student who lived a life of idleness and waiting to die!
"These two sentences are just an explanation of the great Dao. You can say it is my Dao, your Second Uncle's Dao, your Third Uncle's Dao, or even the Dao of all cultivators in the world..."

"What I'm asking about is the avenue of my master!"

Tai Shang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile as if he was enjoying a good show, and asked again.

Xiao Lin's head suddenly grew big. It turned out that the Tao Te Ching expounded the great Dao of heaven and earth, which was a higher level than the great Dao realized by the Supreme Sage himself?

[Oh my god, is the Tao Te Ching so awesome? ]

[No, I am just a True Immortal, and an unlearned True Immortal! Master, do you want to force me like this?! ]

He didn't notice the smirk on Tai Shang's face, but facing his master's question, he could only rack his brains to think...

【Yes! 】

"The way of heaven is to benefit but not to harm; the way of the master is to act but not to fight?"

Xiao Lin suddenly thought of the great principles of the Supreme Sage that were summarized in a novel in his previous life, and he spoke them out loud.

Tai Shang was stunned. He really didn't expect that people in later generations could really summarize the great way of inaction that he practiced...

"Not bad, although you are still a little shallow and only see the surface of the highest virtue, but you have passed the test."

The Supreme Lord smiled and waved his hand... Xiao Lin only felt an unmatched force, trapping him and sending him flying out the door! Along with it came the words of the Supreme Lord.

"Your Second Uncle also has great things to teach you, so go ahead and talk to you first!"

[Hey, hey, hey? There’s still an exam? No! You’ve already drained me! ]

Xiao Lin was wailing in his heart, struggling with his body, exuding a sense of rejection from head to toe... It was a pity that he was just a disciple, how could he escape? In just a few moments, he had entered Yuqing Mountain and Yuqing Palace!
On the cloud platform, Yuanshi slowly opened his eyes: Thank you, brother!
"Yuqing lineage, what is Hunyuan Avenue?"

"Second Uncle, I practice the Taiqing lineage..."

[No, Second Uncle, are you mistaken? I am a disciple of the Taiqing lineage! You are testing my Yuqing lineage, aren't you putting the cart before the horse?]

[Master is making a fuss, don't join him! ]

"You are the chief disciple of the Three Pure Ones, not the Supreme One. You also need to teach my disciples and understand my great way."

Yuan Shi just said a few words, but he completely stopped Xiao Lin from speaking.

"I……"

[Well, if you dare to listen, why should I not dare to bury it? Let me think about the summary of the original avenue in that novel...]

"The way of heaven is to keep order in the clear and turbid; the way of master uncle is to follow the will of heaven?"

[Is this the teaching of the future? ]

"good!"

Yuanshi nodded calmly. What Xiao Lin said was quite consistent with his thoughts... However, he followed the way of heaven, the way of heaven, not Hongjun! "Your Third Uncle has something else to ask you, so go ahead."

Without waiting for Xiao Lin to say anything, Yuanshi waved his hand and trapped Xiao Lin towards Shangqing Mountain...

This time Xiao Lin did not struggle. He had figured it out. It was clearly the three masters who were torturing him in turn! Forget it. I am tired. I will destroy it!
Sure enough, after the same few moments, Xiao Lin landed in the Shangqing Palace... the same cloud platform, the same Third Uncle sitting on it... the only difference was that inside the palace, there were four direct disciples: Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, and Guiling!
"Shangqing lineage, what is Hunyuan Avenue?"

The same question was asked by Tongtian.

"sky……"

"Master!"

Just when Xiao Lin wanted to continue fooling people with the words from the book, Duobao suddenly stepped forward and interrupted Xiao Lin!
"Ok?"

Tongtian looked surprised: "Duobao, what do you want?"

"Master, Xiao Lin..." Duobao hesitated for a moment, and finally changed the address: "Although Chief Senior Brother is the chief of the Three Pure Ones, he is still from the lineage of Master Uncle. How can he be considered as Master!"

[Yes! You are absolutely right, little fat boy Duobao! ]

Xiao Lin was overjoyed and quickly agreed, "Third Uncle, Junior Brother Duobao is right!"

Tongtian rolled his eyes inwardly, you slippery boy, you want to run? Dream on!

"Then you tell me, Duobao! I am from the Shangqing lineage. What is the Great Dao?"

"Master, I...I..."

Under Tongtian's slightly reproachful and sharp gaze, Duobao said ashamedly: "My disciple is only a Xuanxian, I dare not talk about Master's great way."

"Since you dare not speak, then shut up!"

Tongtian said to Duobao unhappily, then looked at Xiao Lin with a friendly expression: "Xiao Linzi, come on, continue talking."

There was such a huge difference, such an obvious gap, that Duobao was so embarrassed that his face turned black!
Between me and Xiao Lin, who is your disciple?

Xiao Lin glanced at Duobao helplessly: [Hey, I gave you a chance, but you are useless! ]

[No matter if what you said is right or not, just say it first! As long as you say it, I will agree with you. But you don’t even dare to say it... You are really a hopeless Duobao! ]

Xiao Lin complained in his heart, but how could he know that Duobao was just a small Xuanxian, how could he dare to talk about the Hunyuan Dao Fruit?
In the ancient times, the gap in realm and status was huge!

"Tian Yan Forty-Nine, intercept one... Third Uncle Master's way is to hold Qingfeng in hand, reach the sky, and ask for the way to the nine heavens!"

"Oh?"

Tongtian was obviously overjoyed. Xiao Lin's answer was more detailed and heroic than those of his elder and second brothers!

"Haha! What if the heavens don't respond?"

"If the sky does not answer, cut off the sky; if the earth does not answer, break the earth! Use the sword in your hand to cut through the sky and take the path, this is the way of Uncle Master!"

"Hahaha!"

Tongtian was overjoyed, clapped his hands and laughed: "As expected, Xiao Linzi, you are the one who wins my heart the most! Xiao Linzi, with your aptitude, you should worship me as your master and learn my Shangqing sword way. Why don't I talk to my elder brother..."

Before Tongtian finished his words of poaching, Xiao Lin and Tongtian felt that the scenery in front of them had changed... When they reappeared, they were already in the Taiqing Palace! Sitting next to Tongtian were Taishang and Yuanshi, who looked unmoved!

"Let you change... change... meet the eldest brother, meet the second brother."

Tongtian was talking happily about the poaching talk, but it was stopped in an instant... and he immediately did what he wanted!
