358. Chapter 353 Qingwei Daoist Transmits the Dharma in the Primordial Spirit Realm

Above Silver Severed City.

All the cultivators present watched Fu Tianyue's soul, their mouths twitching involuntarily.

The bald cultivator chanted 'Amitabha Buddha', uttering the most compassionate words, yet doing the most ruthless deeds.

A golden bowl encircled all the cultivators of Lu Yan Valley; as the souls of Lu Yan Valley cultivators were drawn out by the Holy Infant Banner, the strange chanting dissolved the remaining souls and flesh of the cultivators, a method simply unthinkable.

This time, hundreds of disciples of Lu Yan Valley were wiped out in one sweep by the Slaughter Ghost Sect; Lu Yan Valley's face was utterly humiliated, a sight too horrible to behold.

The great sects of the Universe Cultivation World value sect prestige most highly; Lu Yan Valley and the Slaughter Ghost Sect will surely not let this rest.

The bald cultivator of the Slaughter Ghost Sect again displayed his strange attack power; his Divine Ability is called Salvation.

Dissolving the soul, thoroughly severing the Dao, the major powers of the Primordial Spirit Realm will also feel threatened.

Relying on this battle, the Slaughter Ghost Sect dares to defy the great taboo of the Universe Cultivation World, challenging five at once.

All the cultivators present found it somewhat hard to believe.

"The black of the heretical path is truly black, unlike the current orthodox cultivators who are utterly hypocritical.

Lu Yan Valley has widely recruited a million scattered cultivators from the Universe Cultivation World in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Powerful cultivators manifest in the outer world; weak cultivators from now on vanish without trace.

Do you all know why?"

Qingwei Daoist walked out from within the ghost tide, calmly speaking.

He wore an ancient-style black and white Daoist robe, his hair tied high atop his head, the Eight Trigrams insignia on his clothes giving a sense of unfathomable yin and yang.

All the cultivators present, upon hearing this, felt deeply doubtful in their hearts.

They did not know what trick Qingwei Daoist was up to.

Qingwei Daoist, seeing this, pointed a finger at the Myriad Souls Banner.

Fu Tianyue's soul, eyes dull with deathly air, slowly opened after being cleansed of killing intent by the Myriad Souls Banner; he spoke unhurriedly:

"Lu Yan Valley practices the survival of the fittest, recruiting a million scattered cultivators from the Universe Cultivation World; the strong are taken as core disciples, the weak have already become fodder for the valley's senior elders..."

The faces of all cultivators in Silver Severed City changed uniformly.

This terrifying secret made them tremble with fear.

Within just over two years of the Primordial Spirit Realm's emergence, the major sects have seized territories and widely recruited scattered cultivators from the Universe Cultivation World; rootless scattered cultivators, seeking refuge in this man-eating Universe Cultivation World, find that of the million cultivators who entered Lu Yan Valley, ninety-nine percent have become fodder for Lu Yan Valley cultivators—how terrifying.

However Lu Yan Valley is described, it is one of the Ten Great Orthodox Sects of the Universe Cultivation World; who would have thought it a wolf in sheep's skin? All cultivators now look upon Fu Tianyue's soul not with reverence, but with loathing.

"All under heaven hustle and bustle for profit; I, Qingwei of the Mystic Gate, do not take it upon myself to guard the world's common folk as my duty; my aim is to establish a refuge for scattered cultivators where they mutually depend on each other and are not bullied by the major powers."

"How I wish for vast mansions with ten thousand rooms to shelter all the cold scholars of the world, so they may all beam with joy.

Now I establish the Shangqing Sect, widely recruiting disciples from the Universe Cultivation World.

May all be of one heart, not fighting each other in different rooms.

For the scattered cultivators of the Universe Cultivation World, I wish to establish a peaceful, free, democratic, equal, just Daoist sect." Qingwei Daoist's voice rang out above the heavens.

Behind him, golden light blazed; an ancient Daoist observatory sat within the golden light, as if manifested from within the long river of time, giving a sense of profundity, mystery, dignity, and harmony.

Especially those particularly unique statues, each bearing interpretations of the Dao and principle, making people feel reverence and admiration.

After being bathed in the golden light, the cultivators stared wide-eyed, feeling that the walls of their cultivation realms might loosen, their hearts utterly shocked.

"The Great Dao has fifty, the Heavenly Derivation forty-nine; one is avoided.

The Shangqing Sect teaches without discrimination, wishing to seize a thread of life for all living beings.

Those with affinity may enter the Shangqing." Qingwei Daoist's voice rang out again.

He sat cross-legged in the void, his voice melodious, uttering the loud Shangqing True Scripture.

"The Great Dao, one vehicle, divides into three caverns; teaching unfolds gradually and suddenly.

People have wisdom and foolishness; methods are adapted accordingly, to unite with the Dao.

From shallow exploration, there is no superiority or inferiority; from the mundane to the sage, each has its rank.

Taking the Zhengyi Immortal Spirit as the initial precept, taking the Yuqing Ascended Mystery as the final talisman; penetrating mystery and uniting with the Dao, conforming to true words and symbols, to follow its Dao, to take its person as teacher, to practice its teaching, to observe its rites."

Behind Qingwei Daoist, purple rosy clouds shot into the heavens; his voice vast and boundless, transforming into falling petal-like runes, as if divine beings descended from heaven, blossoming with the might of the Penetrating Mystery Dao.

Many cultivators in Silver Severed City gazed upon the divine sign, their eyes filled with awe.

Qingwei Daoist sat cross-legged in auspiciousness, his back against a hundred miles of purple rosy clouds, ancient primitives and auspicious birds circling, yin and yang turning, mysterious breath obscuring the sky and sun.

Countless cultivators felt stirred within.

Their cultivation seemed, as if drawn by the most primordial laws, to evolve their true selves within the wondrous Daoist phenomena, seeking what is lacking in the cosmic creation to undergo transformation.

The cultivators in meditation felt their entire breath slowly harmonizing with the true scripture spoken by Qingwei Daoist.

The heavenly runes, as if finding a gathering point, all poured down into the cultivators' Hundred Meetings acupoint; their foreheads glimmered, a golden mysterious character faintly appearing, giving a sense of misty clouds and elusive haze.

The bodies of those in meditation truly existed, as if they had entered the long river of time, giving a sense of profound wonder.

The other cultivators all had their eyes brighten, sitting cross-legged one after another to listen to the supreme mysteries of Shangqing; they only felt their souls clear and spiritual, able to perceive the profound, a new gate of cultivation opening for them.

"The Way of Heaven: it reduces what has excess and supplements what is deficient; therefore, the weak overcomes the strong, the insufficient overcomes the sufficient."

"The weak overcomes the strong, the soft overcomes the hard; none under heaven does not know this."

"The utmost softness under heaven gallops and charges against the utmost hardness under heaven."

"Five fingers emit force, breaking through anything solid; destroying the enemy's chief and mind is like piercing rotten soil."

"People merely know that sitting idle and contemplating thoughts is the function of advancing virtue; they do not know that the accomplished"

Qingwei Daoist's body blazed with precious light, his voice like a hanging river.

Behind him, purple qi surged and transformed into specks of starlight heading toward the cultivators listening to the Dharma; holy rosy light blazed.

Qingwei Daoist is the abbot of the Shangqing Observatory on Earth; he spent fifty years researching Shangqing cultivation methods, then entered the Longyuan Immortal Sect and received personal guidance from the Envoy of the Yao Master, Heavenly Pivot True Person Hu Xiaocao, embarking on the path of cultivation; Shangqing cultivation methods combined with Yao Master cultivation methods, Shangqing wondrous methods progressing rapidly.

The Dao he speaks of today is not a certain Divine Ability, nor a certain cultivation method of a certain school; it is the true essence of Shangqing Dao; if cultivators can glimpse this true essence, they can perfect their own cultivation methods.

The Supreme Clarity Sutra aims to seize a thread of vitality for all living beings; the cultivation methods of all beings can be used together without rejection.

Boom.

The meditating cultivator's entire body is entwined with misty light, and runes dance around them.

Stronger auras than before burst forth from within the body, the cultivator's eyes become clear, and their understanding of their Dao becomes more resolute.

"Daoist Qingwei's teachings on the Dao serve as the general outline for cultivation, guiding people into meditation so cultivators do not mistakenly enter side paths."

Cultivator Hai Rui, after breaking through, spoke with an excited face.

His five viscera and six bowels were like lustrous jade, rosy light flowing in his blood continuously cleansing himself; previously incomprehensible cultivation problems became clear as if receiving nectar poured over the head, understood without a teacher.

The Dao taught by Daoist Qingwei gave him a new understanding of cultivation, and he found the direction of cultivation.

Hai Rui perceived the foundation of cultivation, the realm barriers within his body were shattered, and the Earth Origin Realm was completely perfected.

"It is truly a great fortune from heaven that I, acting on a sudden thought, entered Silver Sever City and encountered a master transmitting the Dao."

Daoist Qingwei's few words guided cultivators into meditation and enlightenment of the true Dao; in the Universe Cultivation World, he must be a master of profound methods, having lowered himself to teach the Dao in the Primordial Spirit Realm to Earth Origin and Spirit Gathering Realm cultivators—truly a great benevolent one.

Hai Rui felt deep admiration in his heart and spoke gratefully.

Above the Spirit Gathering Realm is the Earth Origin Realm, above the Earth Origin Realm is the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and above the Heavenly Spirit Realm is the Myriad Laws Realm.

Daoist Qingwei spoke eloquently, explaining the profound Dao that accommodates a hundred cultivation methods; his true form's realm is certainly above the Myriad Laws Realm.

The Hai family ancestor is a Myriad Laws Realm powerhouse who holds sway over a great clan, fundamentally not comparable to Daoist Qingwei's methods.

Hai Rui truly submitted completely.

Boom.

A powerful aura appeared beside Hai Rui; he turned his head to look, and his eyebrows involuntarily twitched.

"The Shui family, Shui Bingyue!"

Shui Bingyue opened her eyes just as she made eye contact with Hai Rui, smiling and nodding slightly.

She could perceive that Hai Rui was also an existence enlightened and inspired by Daoist Qingwei; since both are inheritors of the Supreme Clarity Dao transmission, they are equivalent to fellow disciples.

Shui Bingyue's body was entwined with white mist, the illusory form of water spirits faintly visible, the surrounding cold air rapidly contracting inward, and at her dantian coiled an ice phoenix, emitting mysterious runes flowing through her limbs and bones.

"The Mysterious Water Technique perfected, cultivating the Corporeal Jade Ice Phoenix.

I am the second to cultivate the Corporeal Jade Ice Phoenix after Shui Yihan.

I will have the power to contend for the holy son of the clan."

Shui Bingyue's eyes flashed, and she spoke with rising battle intent on her face.

Such a scene.

As Daoist Qingwei's teachings continued without cease, countless cultivators looked upon him with reverence.

They felt gratitude toward Daoist Qingwei, sat cross-legged on the ground listening to the Dao, and gained insight.

In the Universe Cultivation World, it is survival of the fittest; only seniors, Dao friends, and ants are distinguished.

The more heaven-defying a cultivator's cultivation level, the more they regard lower-level cultivators as ants, even feeling humiliated by saying a single word to them.

Major powers and great clans are likewise.

Without background, cultivation can only be explored by oneself.

Even spending vast wealth does not necessarily find a strong one to resolve one's cultivation difficulties.

Now a powerful one has come to the Primordial Spirit Realm to teach the Dao to Spirit Gathering and Earth Origin Realm cultivators; this is a great opportunity, and none wish to miss it.

Many cultivators saw their companions listening to the Dao, breaking through realm barriers and gaining breakthroughs, and thus became even more convinced of Daoist Qingwei.

The abbot of Xiguangsi watched the scene of Daoist Qingwei teaching, silently chanting a Buddhist name in his mouth.

He and Daoist Qingwei entered cultivation through the Yaoshi Fa, wishing to contribute strength for all living beings.

Daoist Qingwei transmits the Supreme Clarity Great Dao, seizing a thread of vitality for all living beings.

Xiguangsi wishes to save all living beings, ascend to the Western Pure Land, and escape the sea of suffering.

It is not the Yaoshi's heaven-defying methods; he and Daoist Qingwei never had the opportunity to widely expand the Buddhist and Daoist gates.

Sun Zhenbang's hand-held soul of Tuyue was devoured by the Myriad Soul Banner, completely becoming a puppet within the Myriad Soul Banner.

"Everyone, obtain news from Tuyue's heavenly memories.

The Fu Yang Sect, Bibo Palace, and other righteous major powers have already approached key figures of the Shaigui Sect headquarters in Huanyu.

Soon, new high-level members of the Shaigui Sect will enter the Huanyu City base for inspection.

We must prepare early." Sun Zhenbang said cautiously.

Long Zhetian and Zitian Dou, etc., are all righteous Myriad Laws Realm powerhouses, already belonging to sect high-level forces, and cannot be tolerated by the various major sects being careless.

However.

No matter how powerful the Shaigui Sect's powerhouses are in the Universe Cultivation World, upon entering the Primordial Spirit Realm, their realm will not exceed the Earth Origin Realm.

Earth cultivators practicing the Yaoshi method have the Golden Core Realm and Earth Origin Realm at the same level, but their strength far surpasses that of Universe cultivators of the same realm.

They must seize the opportunity before the Huanyu Shaigui Sect discovers that the Shaigui Sect's base in the Primordial Spirit Realm has changed hands, using every means to weaken the Shaigui Sect's main strength.

"Amitabha.

When the Shaigui Sect's headquarters high-level descends, directly liberate them."

The abbot of Xiguangsi clasped his hands together and spoke sharply.

In the Huanyu City base, Li Shixiong is in charge, and besides Earth cultivators, no one knows that the Shaigui Sect's base has fallen into the hands of Earth cultivators.

In Huanyu City.

At the gate of the Shaigui Sect's base, over thirty men dressed in Shaigui Sect attire have arrived.

They looked at the rebuilt Shaigui Sect base without rushing in, but stood at the gate with arms crossed, waiting.

A cultivator named Chen Chong stood beside Wang Mei, issuing a stern command.

"The Shaigui Sect's Zhou Yuan, Elder of Law Enforcement, having Wang Mei, the steward, arrive, let Li Shixiong come out to meet."

They are the direct disciples of the Huanyu Shaigui Sect, their true forms having already reached the Tianling Realm, and they look down upon the Diyuan Realm Li Shixiong.

This time, they were able to arrive in the Primordial Spirit Realm with their souls, thanks to the Fuyang Sect, Bibo Palace, Tianlong Gate, and Zifu Elders personally visiting the Shaigui Sect's important figures.

This matter caught the main branch of the Huanyu Shaigui Sect off guard; those high-ranking members never imagined that the stronghold in Huanyu City would encounter such a situation.

Later, Li Shixiong also reported the details.

The righteous cultivators slaughtered the Shaigui Sect disciples, and the righteous-evil war led to countless losses among the Shaigui Sect disciples.

The Shaigui Sect disciples were forced to capture the righteous cultivators, and moreover, the righteous sect attacked the Huanyu Sect's stronghold without distinguishing right from wrong.

The four elders—Gui Li, Gui Xiao, Gui Wan, and Niu Jingtian—guarded the stronghold, resulting in three wounded and one dead.

As Li Shixiong, a disciple of the Shaigui Sect, returned to the Shaigui Sect's stronghold and found it under attack, he joined fellow disciples and elders to jointly suppress Feng Yingxiang, Chumeng Ji, Zitian Du, and Long Zhantian.

After the Shaigui Sect's high-ranking members clarified the cause and effect, they were furious enough to grit their teeth.

The four righteous sects first persecuted the Shaigui Sect, then later attacked the stronghold in Huanyu City.

The Shaigui Sect's stronghold was about to be eradicated, yet Li Shixiong and others, as disciples of the Shaigui Sect, not only assisted the sect elders in resolving the crisis but also helped Elder Gui Xiao and others personally capture the invaders, greatly enhancing the Shaigui Sect's prestige.

Li Shixiong and his companions were not only blameless but also indispensable.

The Shaigui Sect's high-ranking members promoted Li Shixiong to oversee the Primordial Spirit Realm's Shaigui Sect stronghold.

Chen Chong and others entered the Primordial Spirit Realm's stronghold to investigate whether Li Shixiong's report was true.

"Steward Wang.

You are a high-ranking member of the sect; having come in person to the stronghold, how could you go see that ant?

Even if Li Shixiong is the stronghold's overseer, he must still personally meet you before he can proceed."

Chen Chong said to Wang Mei with a fawning expression.

Wang Mei's face was very calm, her inner self quite satisfied.

A little Diyuan Realm ghost, if placed in the Huanyu main sect of the Shaigui Sect, would be too lazy to even glance at.

Moreover, he is still the steward of the sect's Law Enforcement Hall, in charge of rewarding virtue and punishing vice among the Huanyu Shaigui Sect disciples; countless disciples wish to curry favor with him, yet he looks down upon most of them.

"Haha, venerable senior brothers.

This junior brother failed to welcome you from afar; please, quickly come inside?"

The voice of Li Shixiong transmitting from the Shaigui Sect's stronghold came out, his face full of obsequious smiles as he went out to greet them.

Upon hearing this, Chen Chong and the others showed some mockery on their faces.

"Truly worthy of being promoted to stronghold overseer; allow us to wait a while."

Chen Chong spoke in a yin-yang, strange tone.

Upon hearing this, Li Shixiong felt disdain in his heart.

He recalled the instructions of the First Emperor Ying Zheng and the True Person Zhang Berdu of Ziyang, and could only suppress his dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Steward Wang, accompanied by your fellow senior brothers, this junior brother personally busies himself preparing tea.

Inadequate hospitality, inadequate hospitality."

Li Shixiong said, stuffing a storage bag into Chen Chong's hand.

Chen Chong is Wang Mei's cousin; the bribery matters of Wang Mei of the Shaigui Sect are all handled by Chen Chong.

Giving gifts to Chen Chong is equivalent to giving gifts to Wang Mei.

Chen Chong slightly probed the storage bag with his divine sense; his yin-yang, strange face immediately lit up with joy, and he gave Li Shixiong a satisfied glance of approval.

He walked to Wang Mei's side and nodded; only then did Wang Mei lead the people forward into the Shaigui Sect's stronghold.

Li Shixiong followed behind the crowd, the corner of his mouth revealing a barely perceptible cold smile. (End of chapter)
