It turns out that this old man with white beard and eyebrows is actually the Lord of Dao and Virtue! His full name is "Taiqing Lord of Dao and Virtue", and he has another more well-known name - "Taishang Laojun". He is one of the "Three Pure Ones" of Taoism! Although he ranks last among the "Three Pure Ones", his reputation is so great that it is awe-inspiring.

In Taoist temples, the Sanqing Hall usually enshrines the statue or tablet of Daode Tianzun, who is often depicted as an old man with white hair and beard, holding a feather fan in his hand, sitting on the right side of Yuanshi Tianzun.

In those grand Taoist fasting and offering ceremonies, the shrine of the Lord of Daode is also set up, and it is still located on the right side of Yuanshi Tianzun. Interestingly, the birthday of the Lord of Daode is set on the 15th day of the second lunar month every year. On this day, people will mostly hold lively birthday parties or hold Taoist rituals to pray for blessings and longevity.

As for the so-called "one qi transforms into three pure ones" and "Laozi's 81 transformations", they are just various legends about Laozi's immortality. These legends are full of mystery, which makes people admire and be curious about the great powers of Daode Tianzun.

I only heard the old man slowly say: "My real name is Sizhi, my surname is Li and my given name is Dan. People call me Laozi, my courtesy name is Boyang. I became an immortal after comprehending the great Dao. Since then, I have been honored as the Great Pure Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue."

The six-eared macaque looked closely and saw that the old man was tall, about nine feet tall, and his whole body was bright yellow.

His mouth was like a bird's beak, his nose was high, his eyebrows were as slender as willows, five inches long, his ears were wide, seven inches long, and there were three lines on his forehead, running from top to bottom.

At this time, Laojun was standing on a divine turtle, using it as a bed, as if he was living in a golden building and jade palace. The steps were made of silver. He was wearing clothes made of colorful auspicious clouds. He exuded an extraordinary and immortal temperament, like an otherworldly sage who was detached from the world.

Taishang Laojun came to the side of the six-eared macaque and asked softly, "Little monkey, you are quite intelligent. Would you rather sacrifice your life to repair this leak in the sky? Are you trying to make up for your own mistakes?"

The six-eared macaque raised his head with difficulty, nodded, and looked at the immortal in front of him weakly, with a trace of desire and confusion in his eyes. He replied in a weak voice: "I... I also want to achieve the great way and become an immortal..."

Taishang Laojun smiled slightly, as if he had already seen through Liuer Mihou's thoughts. He slowly said: "The road to becoming an immortal is not easy, but if you are determined, there are shortcuts. Are you willing to practice with me?"

Hearing this, Liu Er Mihou was excited. The temptation of becoming an immortal was too great, not to mention that there was an immortal to personally guide him. He nodded without hesitation and agreed to follow Taishang Laojun to practice.

Seeing Liu Er Mihou's determination, Taishang Laojun gladly accepted him as his disciple. From then on, Liu Er Mihou became a disciple of Taishang Laojun and was given the surname Sun. Since he was originally formed by a phoenix tree and had the ability to repair the sky, Laojun gave him a meaningful name - Wukong. This name not only implies his extraordinary origin, but also contains expectations for his future achievements.

Under the careful guidance of Taishang Laojun, Sun Wukong began a new journey. He worked hard to learn the immortal arts and constantly honed his will and state of mind. As time went by, Sun Wukong gradually mastered powerful magic power and his cultivation became more and more profound. The friendship between him and Taishang Laojun also became deeper and deeper.
