Chapter 1356: The World's Feedback, The Jade Emperor's Gift (6/6, please subscribe)

Zhang Taixuan expounded the Dao of cultivation in the most concise language; even teachings on the mortal realm brought immense benefit to many ancient Jin Xian.

They were ancient great figures, born with extraordinary roots.

The moment they emerged into the world, they possessed extraordinary divine abilities.

Precisely because of this, they lacked the tempering of the mortal world; regarding the wondrous Dao of the flesh, they only knew the how, not the why.

Even though they possessed divine abilities and Daoist techniques that could cultivate the flesh to its utmost—manifesting a Dharma body as vast as heaven and earth, shouldering mountains and shifting seas—they fundamentally did not know where transformation began.

From nothing to something is a wondrous process.

Lacking this process, an innate flaw is carried from birth.

Of course, such a flaw is not beyond remedy; so long as the world is strong enough, this small deficiency naturally matters little.

However, their world was not strong—merely a mid-thousand world—and could not yet reach the point of disregarding these flaws; it absolutely dared not compare with a great-thousand world.

Hearing this now, the crowd was suddenly enlightened.

"So this is how magic power is born within the flesh!"

"So every single particle within the flesh contains boundless divine abilities."

"We were born extraordinary, yet we overlooked these many secrets right before our eyes—a grave error."

The great divine-ability wielders sighed with emotion; the disciples of the Taixuan Sect, as well as the close ones brought by the many great figures, gained even more at this moment.

In the past they had been puzzled—why their masters and elders at home did not use immortal pills to help them become immortals, but only let them undergo tribulation and cultivate.

They never imagined it was for their own good.

Although the Jin Xian great figures did not know the wonder of going from nothing to something, they instinctively knew that undergoing worldly affairs could naturally temper a perfectly rounded Dao heart.

So it could be considered a fortunate mistake, allowing many juniors to avoid many detours in the future.

In the void, heavenly flowers rained down and golden lotuses sprang forth, illuminating the Milo Dao Palace.

Streaks of laws manifested, weaving into all manner of wondrous Dao-scapes, allowing the crowd to directly witness the evolution of the Dao.

These phenomena were not deliberately wrought by Zhang Taixuan; rather, his Dao was so wondrous that it resonated with the Heavenly Heart, and heaven and earth spontaneously aligned.

As his discourse grew ever more profound, the strange phenomena in the void grew increasingly terrifying.

Sometimes it was the cleaving of heaven from earth, sometimes the surging forth of earth, water, fire, and wind…

In the livestream, the crowd watched utterly enthralled.

Especially those who had recently joined the chat group, their hearts now trembled with a shock beyond words.

Although they knew that cultivating could grant longevity and allow one to become an immortal or a god,

they had not known that the Dao of cultivation was so vast, so dazzling to behold.

Red Eyes: "This is the Dao of cultivation? It's far more wondrous than I imagined～「."

Anrietta: "Indeed. In the past I did somewhat look down on cultivation."

What Zhang Taixuan spoke of was the Dao from mortal to transcendence.

In truth, it leaned somewhat toward Eastern cultivation.

After all, what he himself cultivated was the Eastern Dao of cultivation, and what he encountered most was also the Eastern cultivation system.

Cultivation and civilization are inseparable.

The Dao of cultivation also contains the core of civilization.

His path of cultivation encompassed the philosophies of Buddhist, Daoist, and other schools.

For people from other worlds like Red Eyes and Anrietta, it was indeed somewhat profound and difficult to grasp.

After all, their worlds had no Buddhist or Daoist culture.

Now, directly witnessing Zhang Taixuan evolve the myriad laws, they finally awakened from their former state of merely cultivating by following the manual.

This is called attaining the Dao.

Blind cultivation, knowing only to take pills and refine Qi, can also set foot upon the immortal path.

But compared with self-awakened Dao-attainment, the difference is heaven and earth.

The process of cultivation is the process of awakening to the self and awakening to the Great Dao.

If one only knows to refine Qi, possessing boundless divine abilities is nothing more than that of a brute; in the end, one is merely a chess piece in another's hand.

Even if one proves the Dao through force, one still needs a perfectly rounded Dao heart—it cannot be compared with mere brute strength.

Forty-nine days passed in a flash.

Forty-nine days, for the great figures of the Three Realms, felt like forty-nine eons; their dispositions, insight, and Dao hearts had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

Each person had become more composed, their gaze spirited, Dao rhythms pervading their surroundings—a considerable harvest.

And this world itself had also undergone tremendous changes over those forty-nine days.

Zhang Taixuan's gaze pierced through the Three Realms, clearly perceiving the changes in this world.

His evolution of the Great Dao was a wondrous fate for the great figures of the Three Realms, and the same for the world.

Although the Heavenly Dao was only a vague will, it nonetheless knew to progress, branding the myriad Daos upon itself; over those forty-nine days, heaven and earth nearly returned to their ancient prime.

Spiritual energy surged a thousandfold, and the laws became hundreds of times more rigorous.

More importantly, this world's foundation had increased; there was now a one-in-ten chance it could leap into a great-thousand world and become a top-tier world.

Such an opportunity was greater than an ordinary person's chance of attaining the achievement of Da Luo.

Of course, affected by this, Zhang Taixuan's brand also directly entered the deepest part of this heaven and earth, becoming the most indelible existence within this world.

If he wished to merge with the Dao, he need only a single thought.

"What a pity, my ambition does not lie here."

Zhang Taixuan sighed inwardly.

Suddenly, golden light suffused the sky; the clouds and radiance spanning tens of thousands of li converged and descended directly upon Zhang Taixuan.

"It is merit!"

Everyone was full of envy.

These were merits of the three Daos—Heaven, Earth, and Man—and the quantity was not small.
