"Meet the saint!"
Like a dream, the figure of Patriarch Hongjun appeared, with the majestic pressure of the saint, as if the law of heaven were overriding, and all living beings surrendered. A group of people with great supernatural powers spoke respectfully and saluted in unison.
"I have met Saint Hongjun."
At the same time, Jiang Chen, Wangshu, Xianzhu, Ziwei Emperor, Qingqiu Emperor and other ancient great gods also followed to pay homage. Naturally, they did not need to pay homage, but facing the first heavenly saint in the prehistoric world, they all Maintain enough respect.
"Fellow Taoists, you are polite."
In the face of these ancient gods, even though the ancestor Hongjun has become a saint, he does not dare to be negligent at all. After all, regardless of his status in heaven and earth, Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian is enough to be equal to the saints.
As his words fell, dozens of Taoist platforms suddenly rose up in the hall.
"Fellow Taoists, please take a seat."
Jiang Chen and other ancient great gods naturally would not refuse. They each stepped onto a Taoist platform. Their auras were drawn and burst out one after another. They intertwined with the aura of ancestor Hongjun, forming a path of heaven and earth, and various visions appeared. .
As if he had expected this, Patriarch Hongjun smiled slightly and immediately began to speak:
"Chaos is pregnant with Tao. When the heaven and earth first open up, Tao is born. There are things, and the reason for enlightenment is Tao."
"I know that if you move around without dying, you can be the mother of heaven and earth."
"The Tao has no name, and the Tao is unknown. If you say it is big, you can say it has passed away. If you say it has passed away, you can say it is far away. If you say it is far away, you can say it is big. Therefore, it is said that the sky is big, the earth is big, and the Tao is big."
"There are four major things in the domain, and all things live in one of them. Man follows the earth, earth follows the sky, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."
"The great road uses heaven and earth as a furnace, and all things are nourished and become the Tao. Therefore, the Tao has no permanent direction, and you can know it by doing nothing..."
As soon as Hongjun started speaking, the performance in the audience also began. When Hongjun preached, it was invisible, and those who mastered it came first. There were no changes in the celestial phenomena, and there was no surge of spiritual energy. There was just a hint of mystery in the ordinary.
Because Sanqing was transformed by Pangu Yuanshen and had the legacy of Kaitian's experience, plus Pangu's own small part of the Taoist understanding, Sanqing actually listened to the presence of the old god.
Fuxi and Nuwa's qualifications were not as good as Sanqing's, but they were not bad either. Sometimes they were surprised, sometimes they were distressed, and they were not mentioned one by one.
Later, the two brothers Zhunti and Jie Yin were practicing the same martial art. Jie Yin's face showed pain, as if everyone in the world owed him money. Zhunti's expression was just like that of Nuwa, but sometimes she scratched her ears and cheeks when she was surprised. Such as enlightenment.
Others such as Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Donghuang, Dijun, etc. have also gained something, but they are limited by qualifications and opportunities, and their enlightenment is less than the previous few people. However, everyone has to encounter the preaching of the saint, and they know that opportunities are hard to seek. If you don't understand, you will memorize it by rote and recall it later. The rest of the people are even more miserable. Only Na Houtu has been hiding behind others, thinking hard.
In contrast, the situation of Jiang Chen and other ancient gods was naturally very different.
These ancient great gods attained the Tao when the heaven and earth first opened, and through the tribulations of heaven and earth, they were already far superior to everyone present on the way to the great road. At this time, they listened to Hongjun's sermons, compared with what they had learned, and gained something.
The so-called cultivation, "cultivation" refers to the great road, and "doing" refers to the magic power and magical power. Only when the two are combined can it be regarded as the practitioner's cultivation. These two are complementary to each other and one cannot exist without the other!
"Teacher, may I ask where it is? What is Tao?"
But he was the Taiqing Taoist who was the leader of the Three Purities. He listened to Hongjun's teachings, and although he understood a lot of things in his heart, he found that he didn't understand even more, so he took advantage of Hongjun's lecture and asked.
"The Tao is in the original heart, and it is also in the world. Everything is the Tao, and the Tao is also all things."
Hongjun responded immediately. Of course, what he responded to was the Tao that he himself understood. Although it was Tao, to be precise, it should be Hongjun's Dao.
"Teacher, what is the path to enlightenment?"
Taoist Shangqing was quite upright and asked directly, and the questions he asked were even more direct.
Everyone in the audience suddenly became energetic. In contrast, they still felt that Taoist Shangqing asked a good question and hit the mark with just one sentence. They all quickly calmed down and listened.
Hongjun smiled slightly and replied: "There are three thousand avenues, and all of them can lead to enlightenment."
Everyone couldn't help but feel sad. After all, it was the ancestor Hongjun who was superior!
As the lecture continued, people asked questions, Hongjun responded, and Jiang Chen and others participated in the discussion. This lecture lasted for 43,200 years before it stopped.
"That's the end of this sermon. You guys should go back and understand it. I'll let you know when the next lecture starts."
Seeing that although everyone had different opinions, most of them had reached the limit of what they could bear, Patriarch Hongjun immediately stopped.
"Teacher, I have a question."
When Hou Tu saw that Hongjun had stopped speaking, he quickly walked out.
"kindness?"
"I, as a member of the Wu Clan, will not be able to attain Taoism unless I cultivate my soul. If I dare to ask about my ancestors, is there any good strategy?" Although Hou Tu's gains from this visit were limited, he still did not forget his purpose of coming here at the critical moment.
"I already know what you are thinking. There will be fate in the future, so please retreat."
Ancestor Hongjun responded hastily, turned to Jiang Chen and others, and said: "Fellow Taoists, I have learned a lot from this discussion of Taoism. I cannot entertain you. How about we continue it someday?"
"Easy to say, easy to say."
The ancient great gods also gained a lot from this time. They were busy going back to retreat to understand and digest. Naturally, they would not care about these trivial matters and left immediately.
"Fellow Taoist Jiang Chen, come and talk to me on Taiyinxing when you have time."
Moon God Wangshu also left, but before leaving, he did not forget to send an invitation to Jiang Chen.
"If you have leisure, you should go by yourself."
Jiang Chen responded with a smile: "I just hope that the Moon God will not fail to welcome me when the time comes."
"I will prepare fine wine and jade dew under the laurel tree. Fellow Taoist Jiang Chen can come at any time. Wangshu will definitely sweep the steps to welcome you." As she spoke, her face was full of smiles, her lotus feet stepped lightly, and she was submerged into the endless chaos. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.
After watching Wangshu leave, Fang Fu turned around and saw Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun coming hand in hand. Hongyun said in a slightly exaggerated way: "We have known each other for a long time. If it hadn't been for this grand gathering, we wouldn't have known about it. It turns out that fellow Taoist Jiang Chen is actually a great god from ancient times, it’s really disrespectful, disrespectful!”
"ha!"
Jiang Chen responded with a chuckle and said with a smile: "I thought these two fellow Taoists would pay homage to me!"
Startled slightly, the three of them looked at each other and laughed. Zhen Yuanzi immediately invited: "It's just a coincidence. My fruit should be ripe recently. How about coming to my place?"
"Great kindness!"
Jiang Chen and Hongyun responded in unison, and together with the three of them, the light turned into a rainbow, roaring and flying, passing through the chaos in the sky, entering the ancient world, and heading straight to the Five Villages of Wanshou Mountain.
Old friends meet here, they taste the fruits and discuss the Tao. On the ancient land, the wind and clouds are surging, but there are changes.
The gods of Zixiao Palace gathered together, which alerted the participating demon tribes. The two emperors of the demon tribe, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, were reorganizing their troops and seemed to be about to make a big move.
Sensing the movements of the demon clan, the Three Pure Ones also gathered in Kunlun. Taoist Shangqing said: "Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi made such a big move to unify the demon clan. It seems that they have a big plan!"
Taoist Yuqing said: "It is not an easy matter to unify the demon clan. If nothing else, Kunpeng from Beihai's cultivation level and magical powers would not be weaker than those of Dijun and Taiyi. It would be a waste to establish another one." Honor the Taoist ancestor."
Taoist Taiqing saw that his two junior brothers were discussing the general situation of the ancient world, and immediately joined in. He only heard him say calmly: "If Di Jun and others want to unify the monster clan, they must first find a place where countless monster clan can live and practice. Where..."
Taoist Yuqing frowned and said, "There are so many demon clans. I'm afraid it's hard to find a place like this, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
Shangqing Taoist said: "Do you still remember the piece of heaven and earth we found on the top of Zhoushan Mountain when the three of us visited Tianzhu Zhoushan? In my opinion, the demon clan will definitely plot this place."
Taoist Yuqing said: "Then Yuanyang, Chunyang, and Yuyang are probably not easy to offend."
Taiqing Taoist sighed: "Dijun and Taiyi are not ordinary people with great supernatural powers, and the demon clan is huge. The three immortals are no match at all. The affairs of the heaven have probably been decided... . . ”
In fact, at this moment, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were also distressed, because just when they were uniting the demon clan, they discovered that their mortal enemy, the witch clan, was planning to sacrifice to the Pangu Temple. The twelve ancestral witches used Pangu's essence and blood to The female combined with the evil energy of the earth's veins, performed a great act of fortune, and gave birth to countless shamans.
The Wu Clan, which has greatly increased in number, and the Monster Clan, which are unifying, are the two largest forces in the world. The conflicts continue to break out, setting off the beginning of the ancient world and the catastrophe of heaven and earth...
