Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 154 Ten thousand immortals come to court
The gaze returned to Jinao Island.

When Sanxiao first heard about Shangqing Avenue, he was quickly immersed in it.

Especially Bixiao, she was now completely immersed in the great principles preached by the saint.

The innate sacred beings of the ancient times have inherited memories since they were born, and among these inherited memories is the existence of Taoist texts.

Taoist texts are the characters conceived by the Great Dao before the creation of heaven and earth. They are also the characters used and passed down by all living beings in the ancient world today. Each character contains the creation of heaven and earth, but ordinary people cannot comprehend too much truth from them and can only use them for communication.

However, the same words, when spoken by a saint, have different flavors.

As Bixiao listened to Tongtian's talk about the Great Dao of Shangqing, the bottleneck that had been difficult to break through for a long time suddenly showed signs of a breakthrough.

Soon Bixiao entered a state of no self and no others, and oblivion of both himself and the world.

Compared to Bixiao's deep understanding of the Shangqing Dao, Yunxiao and Qiongxiao did not have any special understanding. Both of them were already Taiyi Golden Immortals and had realized their own paths. Listening to the Shangqing Dao was just like them understanding another kind of Dao and seeing if they could apply it to other situations.

It is natural for the Three Sky Gods, who are innately divine, to have some understanding of the Great Dao of Shangqing.

In contrast, the other monks below are not like this.

It is not without reason that Yuanshi Saint was unwilling to accept monsters as his disciples. Firstly, it is almost instinctive for monsters to eat raw meat and drink blood. This is the main channel for the evolution of the bloodlines of most monsters with few exceptions. Eating raw meat and drinking blood has its own cause and effect karma, which the saint naturally does not like.

A monster with so much karma on its body is just like the Twelve Ancestral Witches of the past. Its body can be used, but its soul is difficult to determine.

For example, right before our eyes, tens of thousands of monsters were listening, but more than ninety percent of them quickly became annoyed.

To them, the Great Dao of Shangqing is too obscure and difficult to understand, and they simply cannot listen to it.

Is the Great Dao of Shangqing really obscure and difficult to understand?

In fact, this is not the case. The Shangqing Dao is closely related to the teachings of Jiejiao.

Since it is about seizing a glimmer of hope for sentient beings, it is too obscure and difficult for sentient beings to understand, let alone seizing the secrets of heaven.

The fact is, because these monsters have killed too many people and are entangled in cause and effect karma, their monster nature is difficult to determine, and it is difficult for them to enter the state of enlightenment where they forget about themselves and the world.

Tongtian preached for a total of five hundred years. In the first two hundred years, the teachings he preached were absolutely easy to understand.

The sweet rain that transforms from the vision of the saint's preaching is pure spiritual energy, the golden spring is the essence of the innate water spirit, the precious lotus is the rhythm of Tao, and there is also the opportunity of yin and yang, all of which are opportunities.

If one has the ability and opportunity to obtain one of them, it will be of great benefit.

Therefore, even if you cannot comprehend the Shangqing Dao teachings by coming to listen to the teachings this time, it is also a rare opportunity for you to practice. With this concentration of spiritual energy, practicing here for a year is definitely equivalent to practicing outside for a hundred years.

In the next three hundred years, the Shangqing Dao that Tongtian talked about became more and more profound.

The Tao that Tongtian talked about at this time was the true Shangqing Tao. Shangqing Tao is the Tao of saints, which includes everything. People below the level of saints should not expect to comprehend it all. As long as one can comprehend a little bit of it, it is enough for mortals to become earthly immortals.

If one can comprehend 30% of the Great Dao of Supreme Purity, it will be enough to cultivate to the level of a Quasi-Sage.

Moreover, the Shangqing Dao that Tongtian talked about does not have any specific method of practice. It is more like a general outline. It all depends on your own understanding whether you can get something from it.

Bixiao already had a deep understanding of the Shangqing Dao at this time. Whether before or after becoming an immortal, living beings must understand what they are seeking and what they are cultivating when they practice.

Before becoming an immortal, perhaps you don't need to think so much, just know which path you want to take.

Before, Bixiao had been unable to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal level because he couldn’t confirm which path he wanted to take.

Now after listening to Tongtian's preaching, Bixiao had some enlightenment in her heart. She was not like her elder sister who had an extremely persistent pursuit of the Tao, nor was she like her second sister who had to compete for everything. She just wanted to live freely, just like a drop of water that could flow in the stream, turn into raindrops and fall, or drift into the sea.

As Bixiao confirmed her own path, she could clearly sense the veins of water, the breath of water, and even the rhythm of water.

The next second, the spiritual energy from all around rushed into Bixiao's body. Thus, Bixiao successfully broke through and possessed the cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Not long after Bixiao’s breakthrough, Tongtian’s five hundred years of preaching came to an end.

"Boom!" The sound of the fisherman's drum rang out again.

On Jin'ao Island, all the millions of cultivators on the island, whether they had comprehended the Great Dao of Shangqing or not, woke up from their meditation in an instant.

Ninety-nine percent of these creatures have no idea what the Shangqing Dao has been talking about for the past five hundred years. Their state of meditation is nothing more than borrowing the spiritual energy gathered when the saints preached, and practicing according to their own methods for five hundred years.

"You guys go!" A vague voice sounded, and many cultivators stood up involuntarily and left Jin'ao Island. All the cultivators who had not realized the Shangqing Dao and could not enter into meditation were among them.

After these monks had left Jin'ao Island for a long distance, they suddenly woke up. They turned around and found that Jin'ao Island was no longer there. They began to regret it. They came here to join Jiejiao, but how could they be driven out without even saying a word to the saint?
Then the smarter ones among them realized that they were driven out probably because the saint didn't think highly of them!

Thinking of this, the monks became more frustrated, but there was nothing they could do about it. After all, they had no way to deal with the Shangqing Saint.

Besides, unless there is a sermon, not everyone can enter the saint's residence, let alone see the saint.

They were not favored by the saint and left Jin'ao Island, which meant that they lost their only chance to become the saint's disciple. There was no room for recovery and they could only leave.

The monks who remained on the island all showed joy on their faces. Of the one million monks who were listening to the sermons before, only nearly ten thousand were left. They might be able to become the saint's disciples.

Just as these cultivators were waiting, Tongtian spoke: "Since you have comprehended my Shangqing Dao, you are destined to be with me. You can join my Jiejiao sect. From today on, you will be my registered disciples, and also Jiejiao outer disciples."

Most of the monks below were very excited when they heard this and bowed down in worship.

However, some of those with higher cultivation levels looked a little hesitant.

Among these people, there were dozens with the cultivation level of Taiyi. They wanted to become the saint's personal disciples, but the saint treated them all equally and accepted them all as registered disciples without any other examinations.

Some of them wanted to say something, but after looking at Sage Tongtian and feeling his majesty, they ultimately did not dare to speak.

That's all! Just register them as nominal disciples. Maybe I want to observe them. After seeing their qualifications and abilities, I will accept them as my personal disciples.

Many Taiyi Golden Immortal-level cultivators thought so, and then followed suit and performed the ceremony of becoming a disciple.

Tongtian nodded, and from then on their Jiejiao sect had truly received the attention of all the immortals.

Tongtian then turned his gaze towards Bixiao.

Tongtian saw clearly just now that Bixiao had a deep understanding of his Shangqing Dao. If Bixiao could only practice his Shangqing Dao, it would be enough for him to become his direct disciple.

Tongtian's division of the inner and outer sects of Jiejiao is the same as the standards for accepting disciples in the prehistoric times.

A disciple who can inherit the great Dao of his master is called a direct disciple, or an inner disciple in Jiejiao. If he uses the great Dao of his master to complete his own path, or does not practice the great Dao of his master at all but only practices his master's supernatural powers, then he is a registered disciple, or an outer disciple of Jiejiao.

The same is true for Bai Jing, take Youqin Yueyue for example.

Youqin Yueyue was not practicing Bai Jing's great way, but the way of incense. No matter how high your cultivation was, without inheriting Bai Jing's great way, you could only be Bai Jing's registered disciple.

The same goes for Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming practiced the Shangqing Dao, and Bai Jing only taught him two magical skills, the "Red Cloud Escape Technique" and the "Nine-Turn Mixed Origin Technique". In any way, Zhao Gongming could not be called Bai Jing's direct disciple.

In Tongtian's opinion, Bixiao's understanding of his Shangqing Dao was so deep that he was absolutely very suitable to inherit his Shangqing Dao.

Unfortunately, Bixiao is already Bai Jing's direct disciple, and he is practicing Bai Jing's "White Lotus Hunyuan Zhenjie", so he definitely cannot become Bai Jing's direct disciple.

But Tongtian liked Bixiao very much, so he asked Bixiao: "Bixiao, are you willing to be my registered disciple?"

Bi Xiao was stunned when she heard this. She obviously didn't expect that the Shangqing Saint would ask this question. She subconsciously chose to refuse: "Saint, I already have a master. I can't take someone else as my master, right?"

"Why not? Your brother Zhao Gongming is my direct disciple, and also your master's registered disciple. You can do the same."

"Since Fellow Daoist Tongtian has spoken, just agree to it, Bixiao!" The voice of Bai Jing's clone sounded in Bixiao's ears.

Bixiao was stunned when he heard this, then bowed his head.

What's wrong with having one more teacher? What's more, this teacher is a saint!
Tongtian laughed loudly upon seeing this. He raised his hand to help Bixiao up, and then said, "Bixiao, since you have accepted me as your master, I shall pass on my Shangqing lineage's magical powers to you."

After saying that, Tongtian raised his hand and pointed to a jade slip which fell into Bixiao's hand. Inside it were all the commonly used magical powers and spells of the Shangqing lineage.

"Thank you teacher."

Tongtian nodded and turned to leave.

As soon as Tongtian left, Zhao Gongming led the other three disciples of Jiejiao over.

Zhao Gongming then introduced them to everyone: "Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Sister, these three are my sisters. I have known them for many years and they transformed together. The one in the white dress is Yunxiao, the one in the blue dress is Qiongxiao, and the one in the green dress is Bixiao.

The three sisters are the senior brothers and sisters I mentioned to you."

After everyone greeted each other, they knew each other.
