Chapter 81 The Great Powerful Beings Break Through the Great Defense (2)
Lao Tzu's exclamation startled both Yuan Shi and Tong Tian.
Their elder brother always practiced the Way of Non-Action, advocating non-action yet accomplishing everything. He cultivated a state of supreme detachment from emotions. It can be said that Lao Tzu was always unfathomable and calm, like an unfathomable ocean. As he himself said, "The highest good is like water, which benefits all things without striving."
It can be said that since Yuanshi and Tongtian became conscious, they had never seen Laozi lose his composure like this before, not even when he was easily suppressed by the usually inconspicuous Styx during the second lecture at Zixiao Palace.
Lao Tzu's mind encompassed the vast universe; his vision was so long that he didn't care about temporary successes or failures.
What the world sees as trivial matters, success or failure, is nothing but illusion in Lao Tzu's eyes. Even if the Pangu Banner of the Primordial Beginning were lost, Lao Tzu would still sit firmly on Mount Tai, strategizing and making moves.
I have never been so panicked before, as if I had missed a tremendous opportunity. Why is that?
At this moment, Yuanshi and Tongtian were also filled with intense unease, because they vaguely felt as if they had missed something important, as if they had forgotten something important, and this feeling intensified their unease.
"Fellow Daoist Laozi, what troubles you? If it is suitable, tell us, and we will do our utmost." Taiyi's hearty voice reached the ears of the group of great supernatural beings.
When everyone looked ahead, they saw that it was Taiyi carrying the Chaos Bell, dispelling chaos as he came here.
At this moment, Di Jun, Tai Yi and his group also came to find the Three Pure Ones. They did not leave at this time.
Although the plan to kill Styx was thwarted because Hongjun bestowed a Purple Cloud Talisman upon him, the alliance with the Three Pure Ones still has great potential. As long as the Witch Clan exists, their alliance will always be unbreakable!
Moreover, the alliance was proposed by them first, and the "condition" for besieging and killing Styx was proposed by the Three Pure Ones. If they get the Primordial Purple Qi, fine. If they don't get it, they can wait until they unify the Primordial World and gather the Primordial World's fortune into one. At that time, their cultivation level will be close to that of a saint, even if they are not one.
"Fellow Daoists, think about it, how many years has the Master been preaching?" Lao Tzu said with great distress. How could they forget the most basic time?
"Three thousand years, Teacher, you've always said it's three thousand years," Tongtian replied, and then he realized what he meant.
Upon hearing this, all the powerful beings present realized what was happening. Yes, the sages have been preaching for three thousand years!
Why did the sage only speak for 2,500 years before sending them out to search for treasure at the Treasure Sharing Cliff?
"Return to Zixiao Palace!" Di Jun and Taiyi immediately made up their minds. There must be great opportunities in preaching during these last five hundred years, otherwise the Dao Ancestor would never have set up such a "test".
Indeed, Hongjun's actions were once again interpreted by the powerful beings as a test. After all, the actions of a sage are all meaningful, so how could they be useless?
Thinking of this, the two transformed into rainbow light and used the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique to break through the chaos, desperately trying to return to Zixiao Palace. Although time was running out because the distance to the Treasure Dividing Cliff was too far, even so, this was a sage preaching the Dao, and it was still preaching the most important Dao of the sage!
If you can listen for a year, that's a great opportunity!
Others, such as the Three Pure Ones, Fuxi, and Nuwa, also used their methods to rush back to Zixiao Palace.
Of course, they weren't the only ones who realized what was happening. Zhunti and Jieyin also realized it, but—
—It's a bit late.
There was nothing they could do; they were just too happy.
The two powerful beings, who were known for their poverty, obtained a number of spiritual treasures. Although the quantity and quality of the innate spiritual treasures they obtained were far inferior to those of the Three Pure Ones, and even less so than those of Emperor Jun and Taiyi, they were still happy.
The more spiritual treasures they possess, the more hope the West will have. Many of these innate spiritual treasures can greatly enhance the combat power of Zhunti and Jieyin, and perhaps allow them to recruit more talented disciples to contribute to the future prosperity of the West. At the same time, the protective spiritual treasures for the disciples they are currently training may also be secured.
At the same time, Zhunti and Jieyin also felt a lot of guilt. Although many of their disciples were dull-witted, their ability to persevere in the Western Lands was enough to prove their sincerity. Yet, their disciples received nothing of value. Although the disciples did not complain, Zhunti and Jieyin could not help but feel remorse. Now, this matter has been partially resolved.
By the time they recovered from their excitement, and by the time Jieyin, clinging to his last hope, dragged Zhunti back to Zixiao Palace, it was already too late.
Inside the Purple Cloud Palace, it was still Hongjun speaking, and the Styx listening.
There are different teaching methods for teaching one-to-three thousand people and one-to-one teaching methods. In addition to explaining more profound Dao principles, Hongjun also used his saintly power to condense golden lotuses of power and Daoist rhyme that were more suitable for Styx to refine and comprehend, for Styx's cultivation.
In these short span of several hundred years, Styx's cultivation level, which had just broken through, has improved significantly again after the three lectures at Zixiao Palace over the past two thousand five hundred years.
After attaining the Primordial Chaos, one should understand how to practice the Way of a Sage in the primordial world and how to ensure that this Way endures in the primordial world.
At this moment, Styx had already understood what Hongjun expected of him. In this sermon, Hongjun deduced the most glorious and noble path for Styx, which was to open the cycle of reincarnation, take control of the life and death of all living beings, and establish a religion and build power based on this.
Styx knew perfectly well that this path was indeed noble. Not only did it have immense merit, but it also continuously brought merit and fortune. Although the power of the underworld was not strong in the Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was able to cause a great disturbance in the underworld. However, if the power of the underworld had not been divided and weakened by various parties, and had been a whole from beginning to end, it would not have been so easy to cause trouble!
This also reflects the importance of the underworld. None of the saints were willing to let go of this place of life and death!
"After years of hard work, I've finally got a decent reward." Styx thought happily to himself, but the Three Pure Ones who rushed back later were not so lucky.
When the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Tai Yi, Fu Xi, and Nuwa returned, the three lectures at Zixiao Palace were only a few decades away. The great supernatural beings dared not be negligent and hurriedly returned to their seats to begin their enlightenment. However, something even more distressing happened to them.
First, Styx's cultivation broke through again, reaching the peak of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Next, all he needs is time to hone his skills, and reaching the perfection of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm will be a natural outcome.
