Honghuang Xuanyang Dao

Chapter 43: Creation Jade Butterfly (Please Collect)
Seeing that the palace was full of monks, Haotian and Yaochi closed the gate of Zixiao Palace, walked to both sides of the cloud bed, and shouted to everyone, "Silence, no noise, the teacher has arrived!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Daozu Hongjun was already sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed silently, without any sign at all, as if he had always been on the cloud bed.

Li Xuanyang's eyes narrowed when he saw this. Even with his great Taoist powers, he showed no signs of noticing anything.

Obviously, this is the realm of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian Saint, which is beyond the comprehension of cultivators in the realm of enlightenment.

"Greetings, teacher. I wish you a long life!" Everyone in the palace stood up and saluted respectfully towards Hongjun Daozu on the cloud bed.

Daozu Hongjun, dressed in a purple robe, sat expressionlessly on the cloud bed, looking down. His eyes seemed to sweep over the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jie Yin, and Zhunti. When he saw Li Xuanyang, he seemed to pause for a moment before speaking, "You all rise. From now on, you must sit as you did today. No changes are allowed."

"We will follow the teacher's instructions!" After everyone bowed again, they sat down.

How could everyone not know at this time that the six cushions in the palace must have a mystery and were definitely not just ordinary seats? Hongyun and Kunpeng missed the opportunity.

In response, Hongyun just opened his mouth and finally remained silent.

In comparison, Kunpeng's expression was ugly and a little scary. His eyes fell on Jie Yin, Zhunti and Hong Yun from time to time. He clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could kill the three of them here to relieve the hatred in his heart.

"This matter is definitely not over!" Kunpeng roared in his heart.

Daozu Hongjun didn't care about everyone's expressions and began to talk about the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

"The upper Qi is called Shi, the middle Qi is called Yuan, and the lower Qi is called Xuan. Xuan Qi is born from the void, Yuan Qi is born from the hole, and Shi Qi is born from nothingness. Therefore, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry Yin and embrace Yang, which is Tai Chi."

"The three give rise to the nine mysteries, and from the nine return to the one; this is the true Dao. The yang and purity become heaven, the dregs condense into earth, and the center unites into man. The three divide and judge, and all things are born. The sun and the moon shine, and the five elements are named. This is the sage. The three are born from the origin of the three qi, and are at the beginning of the primordial qi, reaching the ultimate infinity, the primordial infinity."

"The great way is vast and can be controlled. All things rely on it for life without complaining, and it accomplishes its work without claiming credit. It clothes and nourishes all things without being their master, so it can be called small. All things return to it without being their master, so it can be called great. Because it does not consider itself great, it can achieve greatness."

………………

When a saint preaches, his teachings are naturally extraordinary and extremely mysterious.

There were many strange phenomena in the palace. Golden flowers fell and golden lotus emerged from the ground. Countless innate spiritual energy transformed into rare birds and beasts. There were turtles playing, cranes dancing, unicorns roaring, and clouds appearing by themselves. The sky was full of light, and all kinds of strange phenomena appeared one after another.

At the beginning, what Hongjun Daozu talked about was not profound. It was nothing more than the method of cultivation for living beings, the Taiyi Dao Fruit, and the way of Daluo Jinxian. It can be said to be all-encompassing.

It not only contains the method of condensing the three flowers of the primordial spirit, but also the method of the demon clan's primordial spirit and Dharma image, as well as various innate Taoist magical powers and the method of refining them into Taoist magic tools.

The audience was fascinated by what they heard, and even if their own path of cultivation was different, they could use it as a reference.

Li Xuanyang became thoughtful. It seemed that this time Daozu Hongjun would not talk about the method of beheading corpses and the realm of quasi-saints, but would only talk about the realm from Qi training to enlightenment.

But what no one expected was that Daozu Hongjun suddenly changed the subject and began to talk about the innate laws, which were the three thousand great ways recorded on the Chaos Supreme Treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation. Every three or four sentences he spoke would be followed by a seemingly plausible statement, which was very obscure and difficult to understand.

Hearing this, everyone had painful expressions on their faces and sweat was pouring down their cheeks. Even the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, Jie Yin, Zhunti and others seemed to understand something.

Li Xuanyang was both surprised and delighted. The laws that Hongjun Daozu talked about not only included the innate laws of yin and yang, but also the laws of space and chaos. Occasionally, he would even insert a sentence or two to prove the Dao.

Although the method of proving the Tao with force that Hongjun Daozu talked about was only a few words, it was like a treasure to Li Xuanyang, and he constantly verified it with his own chaotic and indestructible body.

Three thousand years passed in a flash, and Daozu Hongjun suddenly kept silent, which made everyone feel extremely uncomfortable. They couldn't help but look up at Daozu Hongjun.

Daozu Hongjun spoke expressionlessly and said lightly: "The three thousand years of preaching this time have expired. I will notify you to come for the next preaching." After that, Daozu Hongjun ignored the reactions of the people below and disappeared silently.

When everyone came to their senses, only an empty cloud bed was left, and there was no trace of Hongjun Daozu.

Although this sermon only talked about the realm of Daluo Jinxian, everyone felt that they gained a lot.

The same is true for Li Xuanyang. His method of proving the truth through force is only in its infancy and is far from perfect. This time, listening to the teachings of Hongjun Daozu not only saves him a lot of hard training, but also allows him to gradually perfect his Chaos Immortal Body.

In addition, the three thousand innate great way laws also brought him great benefits, and he planned to go back and integrate them into the Xuanyang Sutra one by one.

At this time, Li Xuanyang suddenly thought of the three thousand great ways that Hongjun Daozu talked about. Each great way corresponds to an innate law, and there are exactly three thousand of them, no more and no less. The time that Hongjun Daozu preached was exactly three thousand years.

There seems to be some connection between the two.

It is rumored that Daozu Hongjun used the Jade Disc of Creation to prove his Dao, which is a supreme treasure of Chaos and also the supreme treasure that Daozu Hongjun used to prove his Dao.

It records three thousand great ways, and each of them contains profound mysteries and endless secrets.

The so-called Three Thousand Great Daos are the Three Thousand Great Daos on the Jade Butterfly of Creation, which can also be called Hongjun Great Dao.

Unfortunately, the Jade Disc of Creation is similar to the Chaos Green Lotus. Both were affected by the creation of the world by the great god Pangu in the past and were severely damaged. The three thousand great ways recorded on them are incomplete.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanyang vaguely understood.

This time, Hongjun Daozu's preaching must be related to the Jade Butterfly of Creation. Not only can he accept the six future saints as his disciples, gain the name of Daozu, and obtain endless merits and luck, but he can also use the opportunity of preaching to complete the three thousand great ways on the Jade Butterfly of Creation.

After the sermon, people left Zixiao Palace in groups of three or five, some planning to return to Lingshan Taoist temple to practice in seclusion and organize what they had learned from the sermon, while others were preparing to go back to discuss the Dharma with each other.

Seeing this, Li Xuanyang also stood up and left Zixiao Palace, passing through the chaos and coming to the prehistoric barrier. Suddenly, a faint sense of induction arose in his soul, and the divine will was revealed. He was about to go to the prehistoric barrier to try his luck.

From a distance, he saw Sanqing, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi stop in their tracks, so he stepped forward and greeted them.

"Why are you fellow Taoists stopping here? You feel like you have sensed the revelation of the divine will!" Li Xuanyang asked with a smile.

"Fellow Daoist, you've arrived just in time." Taoist Shangqing looked at Li Xuanyang and laughed heartily. Pointing to the vast expanse of land beneath the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens, he said, "The three of us, along with fellow Daoists Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi, have just arrived here when we sense a divine clue emerging, as if something has appeared, a connection to us all."

"So I thought I'd wait for fellow Daoists to go over there together and take a look at what has just appeared!"

"Thank you so much, fellow Taoists!" Li Xuanyang's eyes lit up. The fact that several powerful people could sense the revelation of the divine will at the same time meant that it was definitely not an ordinary spiritual creature.

"Fellow Daoist, we should hurry over and take a look, so as not to miss the opportunity." It was Hongyun who said this, and he urged impatiently.

Ever since he last went to East Kunlun Mountain with Sanqing and Zhulong and discussed the Dharma with the Queen Mother of the West, Hongyun has been traveling around the ancient world, looking for opportunities everywhere.

After hundreds of thousands of years, some good spiritual objects have been found, but no innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual objects have been encountered.

Unexpectedly, the secret of heaven was revealed at this time, and naturally he became impatient.

"Haha, then let's do as Fellow Daoist Hongyun said. Let's go over and take a look." Li Xuanyang smiled dumbly, and entered the Thirty-Three Outer Heavens with Sanqing, Hongyun, and Zhen Yuanzi, and went straight into the prehistoric world, and came to a tall mountain.
