My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 170 - 22: Sanqing Daoist Ancestor (Part 3)

"Alright, I was originally planning to take Jiang Xue to school registration, but things are pretty busy at the company. I’ll have to pass. Ao Chengzhong is also tied up, so Jiang Xue... I’ll leave her to you."

"I’ll take good care of her." Lu Xuan nodded seriously.

Just then, Xiaoyan poked his head out of the kitchen, holding a blackened spatula with a soot-covered face, and mumbled:

"It’s more like I’m the one taking care of Xiaolu!"

Both Lu Xuan and Old Yan couldn’t help but laugh, while Qing He and Qing Ping let their suggestive gazes wander between the young man and woman.

.......

The next few days passed peacefully. Lu Xuan entered a dream once, finding himself still traveling. With Duke Mu of Qin there, the journey was uneventful. After that, he rarely entered dreams, shifting his focus to his Cultivation. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

「August 14th, Sunday. The last day before school registration.」

Lu Xuan didn’t visit Uncle Wu. He decided to wait until tomorrow, after he met up with Xiaoxu for the start of school.

He borrowed a sum of money from Old Yan and acquired a large courtyard in the city center. It had previously been a Daoist hall, but it went out of business due to poor management.

Once he had the property, the Comprehensive Management Bureau quickly approved all the necessary paperwork. Now, all he needed was a name, and his own Daoist Lineage would officially be established.

’But... what should I name it?’

While pondering this, Lu Xuan, who had taken on the appearance of an old man, began arranging three newly forged bronze statues in the courtyard: Fusheng Lu Xuan on the left, Supreme Profound Clarity in the center, and Supreme Emperor Profound Yellow on the right.

He had thought this out in advance. From the perspective of his Primordial Body, his second master seemed connected to concepts like the ’Cause of All Fruits’ and the ’Creation of Heaven and Earth.’ Therefore, he symbolized the beginning and the Starting Point, and was placed on the far left.

His third master’s Sword Scripture was filled with connotations of ruin, severance, and finality, so he should symbolize the End and be placed on the far right. That left his first master, who naturally belonged in the center.

This, in turn, dictated the placement of the statues representing his own three Daoist names.

’So, what in the world should I call this Daoist Lineage?’

Lu Xuan, still in the guise of an old man, stroked his beard. A bold idea suddenly occurred to him.

’My master and the two other masters seem to be collectively called ’The Three Pristine Ones.’ My own three Daoist names correspond to the Three Masters, so... could I...?’

He took up a brush and wrote two large words on the plaque he had prepared in advance:

[Sanqing Temple].

As soon as he finished writing, Lu Xuan realized his mistake. ’The Three Pristine Ones are my Three Masters, but the Daoist Lineage I’m founding venerates my own three Daoist names. How can I call it the Sanqing Temple?’

He tried to change it, summoning the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi to erase the two words from the plaque, but he failed.

A vast and hazy Dao Rhyme began to emanate from the plaque, so profound it felt as if it were decreed by fate.

The sky above changed abruptly. A torrential downpour began to fall, and Great Thunder boomed.

RING RING RING!

While Lu Xuan was still stunned, his phone rang. He picked it up; the caller was Xiaoyan.

"Xiaolu! Xiaolu!"

Xiaoyan’s voice came over the phone, full of excitement:

"Do you remember the Sanqing Daoist Ancestors? That title that only appeared in a single fragment, with no concrete description? Well, a massive ancient site was just excavated up in the North, and they’ve unearthed related texts!"

Lu Xuan’s heart suddenly throbbed for no apparent reason. He asked:

"What does it say?"

"My dad just sent it to me! Let me read it to you!"

"It says: ’The Sanqing Daoist Ancestors, the most revered of the Daoist Sect. The Taiqing is Profound Clarity; the Yuqing is Fusheng; the Shangqing is Profound Yellow...’"

Lu Xuan’s mind went blank with a BUZZ. [Dao Generating One] activated on its own, giving him insight into Cause and Effect.

He saw a tidal wave of Cause and Effect crashing down upon him!
