Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 441 214: World Advancement
Lu Yu's thoughts stirred, and his internal organs shone brightly as the Innate Five Qi circulated, beckoning to his Primordial Spirit.
A virtual world manifested behind him and slowly descended into this world.
"Five Qi Toward the Origin!" someone recognized Lu Yu's method. Although they all knew that Lu Yu's abilities were extraordinary, they couldn't help but marvel upon seeing the descending virtual world.
This was the legendary Five Qi Toward the Origin, a Realm only those called Great Spiritual Practitioners could achieve. They were often figures from the legends, and now, they were appearing before their eyes.
Immense pressure descended from the heavens, forcing them involuntarily to the ground. Although Lu Yu had no intention to target them, the power from the virtual world still made it hard for them to breathe.

Yet, there was not a trace of grievance on anyone's face. Instead, they were filled with fervor. The ability of Five Qi Toward the Origin was something they could experience firsthand, a tremendous honor indeed.
The virtual world descended here and gradually merged with the minor world. The flow of Primordial Qi, the resonance of the Five Elements began to align, and Lu Yu could feel his internal world becoming more stable.
A stream of pure power nourished his Soul, and Lu Yu felt a surging strength coursing through him, the essence, energy, and spirit - the Three Treasures - all advancing as one, seemingly striving to reach the heavens.
Lu Yu knew this was a sign of his cultivation success, indicating that he was closer to achieving Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.
Different from Five Qi Toward the Origin, which required gradual activation of the Innate Qi hidden within the five organs to construct an internal world, Three Flowers Gathering at the Top required perfecting this internal world, refining its rules, cultivating the Three Treasures to enhance essence, energy, and spirit simultaneously, and finally, condensing the Three Flowers at the crown of the head, thus truly touching upon the Great Dao.
Perfecting one's internal world was not an overnight feat; however, there were shortcuts. By observing the operation of heaven and earth, one could gradually perfect it. Of course, another method was to directly merge minor worlds, borrowing strengths to offset weaknesses, though this required complete control over a world, an extremely harsh condition.
It was by a fortunate coincidence that Lu Yu became the Lord of the World and gained such an opportunity.
As the two worlds merged, the massive pressure weighing upon everyone began to dissipate. They climbed up from the ground, straightened their clothes, and were about to congratulate Lu Yu.
However, to their surprise, the entire world started to shake violently. Countless streams of Primordial Qi surged forth, the sky at dawn was filled with unusual colors, and numerous Spirit Grasses began to grow wildly.
"What is this?" The old beggars and others watched in amazement at such a miraculous scene, eyes wide open.
"The world is being promoted!" Liu Qingyun was also watching the unexpected scene in delight. As a direct Disciple of Lu Yu, well-informed and well-read, he recognized the signs of world promotion at first glance.
"World promotion," everyone savored the term, never having heard of such an event before.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. For a minor world like this to truly become a world capable of harbouring countless beings, with a perfected Great Dao, it needs to be promoted step by step to reach that state," they explained.
"Such a promotion is a rare opportunity for a world because the Will of the World lacks intelligence, possessing only instinct. Therefore, it will not actively seize the opportunity. It is for this reason that there exists the position of the Lord of the World."
"Every advancement of the world offers creatures within it a tremendous opportunity. At this moment, the Great Dao manifests, providing a rare chance for cultivation. You should not waste such an opportunity."
Liu Qingyun gently explained the mysteries of the world's advancement, and everyone listened with faces of joy. It was an enormous opportunity that no one wished to miss, so they all opened their eyes wide, staring at the sky, anticipating the next change.
Just then, a sound arose between heaven and earth, indescribable in words, as if it came from the horizon, as if it resounded next to one's ear, and even more so, it echoed in the depths of their hearts.
Upon hearing this sound, the listeners found themselves blessed with spiritual enlightenment as insights into the Dao flooded their minds.
They quickly sat down cross-legged and concentrated to contemplate, for these inspirations were fleeting. If they didn't grasp them promptly, they might regret it deeply.
Following this, a rainbow light appeared at the edge of the sky, enveloping the world. At this time, the laws of the Dao materialized. Liu Qingyun and Xiao Qi watched, intoxicated, as they were currently in the stage of stimulating the Five Qi; observing these rules would make it easier for them to do so.
However, for others, although they knew the rainbow light was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity—otherwise, Liu Qingyun would not have such an expression—they were simply too low in realm, like elementary students looking at advanced mathematics, impressed but unable to comprehend. They could only watch helplessly as the opportunity slipped away, full of regret.
As the rainbow light gradually dissipated, the sky suddenly brightened with a golden light, and countless meteors streaked across the sky from the horizon, falling to the earth.
The Ghost Scholar had a premonition and reached out his hand. A meteor fell into his hand and transformed into a folding fan, emitting a dazzling light.
"Is this a Spiritual Treasure?" The Ghost Scholar exclaimed incredulously.
"Certainly, it is a Spiritual Treasure. With the advancement of the world and the manifestation of the rules, the compatible Primordial Qi naturally gives birth to treasures. These are but lower-level Spiritual Treasures from the advancement of a minor world. However, for you, they are sufficient," came the reply.
No sooner had Liu Qingyun finished speaking than several meteors flew into the crowd, morphing into various shapes of Spiritual Treasures.
An old beggar obtained a gourd flickering with flames, the Peach Blossom Maiden got a ribbon shimmering with rainbow light, and in the Golden Snake Granny's hands appeared a red wooden staff.
"Treasures are sentient and choose their own masters," someone muttered, their face filled with envy. These were Spiritual Treasures, after all—a rare asset for cultivators of their realm.
Yet, no one present dared to show even a hint of greed. With the Tea Saint present, and having seen Lu Yu's formidable power, no one dared to act. Besides, those who obtained the treasures were formidable individuals among the group, and even if someone tried to take action, it was unlikely they would gain any benefit.
"The one fated to have the treasure will acquire it. The Magical Treasures scattered across the world are for you to seek. The world will close in three days," Lu Yu's voice descended from the sky and entered everyone's ears like music from heaven.
They thanked Lu Yu and hurried down the mountain. With only three days to find the scattered treasures, time was of the essence, and they had to act quickly.
Only the Ghost Scholar and others stayed behind. They had obtained Spiritual Treasures that resonated with their own Dao and had little interest in other treasures. They preferred to use the time for dedicated cultivation right there.
"Teacher, are there any treasures for us?" the two youngsters asked, running up to Lu Yu, who had descended from the heavens, their eyes alight with the excitement of seeing others hunt for treasures and eager to try for themselves.
"Those treasures are but trifles. The truly good things are naturally with me," Lu Yu said with a light laugh.
