Chapter 331: Buddhist Sect Discusses the Dao Again, Chen Ku Bestows Treasures Upon All Beings!

Prove the Dao and attain the Mixed Yuan!

Not bad!

This is exactly what Kunpeng had in mind.

Back then, he and Di Jun Taiyi joined forces, attempting to seize Hongyun's Hongmeng Purple Qi, but ultimately ended in failure.

However, Kunpeng's resolve to prove the Dao naturally would not fade.

And having previously witnessed Chen Ku's immense divine might as a Mixed Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal, Kunpeng once again felt boundless longing and admiration.

Chen Ku proving the Dao undoubtedly brings great hope to Kunpeng.

Even without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, one can still prove the Dao.

Moreover, proving the Dao as a Mixed Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal is even stronger than being a sage.

How could he remain calm?!

Upon hearing Kunpeng's words.

Di Jun Taiyi and the others were all stunned.

"Prove the Dao and attain the Mixed Yuan?!"

"Is this... possible?!"

Di Jun responded thus, somewhat hesitantly.

Know that since the Purple Cloud Palace lecture on the Dao, Di Jun Taiyi and others have listened to the teachings of Patriarch Hongjun on the Immortal Dao.

And thereafter, they have wholeheartedly cultivated the Immortal Dao, never having considered such a path as proving the Dao and attaining the Mixed Yuan.

And without even thinking, one can know how astonishingly difficult this path is.

It is no wonder Di Jun reacted this way.

Yet Kunpeng still refuses to give up; at this moment, he is instead more resolute than ever before.

"Your Majesty, since Chen Ku can."

"Why can't we?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they rang like a sudden thunderclap, exploding in Di Jun Taiyi's heart.

Yes!

Since Chen Ku has already succeeded, why can't I try too?!

Put differently, if one dares not even attempt, is it not tantamount to admitting one is inferior to Chen Ku?!

How could this be acceptable?!

Taiyi's expression turned stern, and he immediately spoke aloud:

"What the Demon Master said is correct!"

"And this is also the only way for us to prove the Dao."

"I shall enter seclusion to contemplate the Dao, striving to comprehend the profound mysteries of the Mixed Yuan Dao."

Taiyi is the most decisive, making such a decision.

Di Jun then pondered for a moment, also nodded, and said:

"Very well!"

"The countless elite troops of the Demon Race have regained control of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation, which will also take some time."

"During this period, I too shall enter seclusion and attempt to comprehend the Mixed Yuan Dao."

Di Jun Taiyi were the first to declare their stance.

Immediately, the many powerful beings of the Demon Court who hoped to continue advancing also echoed in unison, all preparing to enter seclusion.

After all, proving the Dao is the sole lifelong pursuit of all cultivators of the Wasteland.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that when the true war between the Witches and Demons erupts, it will inevitably be a battle to the death.

If one can enhance their strength as much as possible, then when the great war breaks out, they will also have greater confidence.

Subsequently, the Demon Court also returned to silence.

Just as the Demon Court was plotting, attempting to comprehend the Mixed Yuan Dao.

In the West, atop Mount Sumeru.

The previous joy and excitement gradually subsided.

However, the gazes of all upon Chen Ku have become even more reverent and venerable.

At a certain moment, Xi He seemed to think of something.

"Now, Dao Friend Chen Ku has already proven the Dao!"

"Xi He dares to make this request, begging Dao Friend Chen Ku to once again expound the Dao for all beings?!"

In Xi He's beautiful eyes, full of anticipation.

Without a doubt.

In the eyes of Xi He, Chang'e, Du E Zhenren, and even Zhen Yuanzi.

Chen Ku's Mixed Yuan Daluo Golden Immortal is more meaningful for reference than the Heavenly Dao sages like Jieyin and Zhunti.

If Chen Ku can expound a bit, it might also greatly benefit them, making their cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

Xi He's words left Jieyin, Zhunti, and others all stunned.

Immediately, Jieyin broke into a smile.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad!"

"Indeed, it should be so!"

Regarding Xi He's proposal, Jieyin also expressed strong approval.

And Chen Ku, naturally, also smiled and nodded.

For the beings of the West, he will not conceal anything.

Moreover, this is something he had previously promised to Xihe and Changxi and others.

He looked toward Jieyin and Zhunti, as well as Hongyun, and spoke softly:

"In that case, this disciple will once again discuss the Dao with the three sages—Master, Uncle-Master, and the others."

"Our Dao resonances complement each other, and we can also supplement one another."

"Thus, the beings of the West will also be able to more easily comprehend its profound mysteries."

Chen Ku considered things even more thoroughly.

The Hunyuan Dao is still too profound and obscure.

Therefore, by having the discourses of Jieyin, Zhunti, and others illuminate and complement each other, the effect on the beings of the West can be greater.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and the three sages had no objections either, and immediately nodded in agreement.

No need to say more.

The discourse of the Four Sages of the West thus began.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun took the lead, speaking first, expounding on the wondrous meanings of the boundless Great Dao.

For this, countless beings of the West were already no longer unfamiliar with it.

However, on and around Mount Sumeru, it remained shadowy and numerous beyond count.

Nearly all beings of the West had already gathered there.

Listening to the sages' discourse, they were entranced and intoxicated, utterly immersed, unable to extricate themselves.

This is the profound mystery of the sages' Dao—each listening brings a harvest unlike the ordinary.

Celestial sounds faint and distant, auspicious hues shimmering and bright!

Immortal light stretching a hundred million zhang rose and shone, illuminating the nine heavens and ten earths.

Millions of acres of fortune converged, nurturing the myriad beings of the West!

This scene was extremely magnificent.

Even, not only the beings of the West, but countless Eastern cultivators could not help but glance sideways, astonished and sighing endlessly.

The sight of three Heavenly Dao sages discussing the Dao together on the same stage could be called unprecedented in ancient times.

Moreover, one must know that Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun differ from the Three Pure Ones in their status as three sages.

Although the Three Pure Ones are of one essence and born together, they now each establish their own teachings, with differing doctrines and cultivated paths.

In contrast, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun all cultivate the wondrous methods of the Buddhist school.

Therefore, such majesty—even if the Three Pure Ones were to lecture together on the Dao, they could not match it.

Gradually, the voices of the three sages discussing the Dao faded away.

Soon after, Chen Ku spoke.

As Chen Ku opened his mouth, within a radius of billions of li around Mount Sumeru, the heavens and earth suddenly shifted, and even more astonishing phenomena appeared.

The Hunyuan Dao, unmatched and tyrannical, supreme through the ages!

As Chen Ku's discourse on the Dao spread out.

Boom—boom—boom!

Above the nine heavens, waves of immense and peerless heavenly sounds followed, echoing and deafening.

Thread upon thread of all-encompassing Dao resonance burst forth, filling the entire Western heaven and earth.

Even, beings could faintly see countless chains of order condensing, filling the void.

Powerful!

Indescribably powerful!

And, what is even more astonishing is.

Compared to the previous discourse of Jieyin, Zhunti, and others, Chen Ku's words seemed like an ultimate elevation.

At this moment, all beings listening to the Four Sages' discourse on the Dao had clear divine awareness and their hearts were violently shaken.

Even if they could not fully comprehend the profound mystery of Hunyuan, they deeply felt the terror of this Dao.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

In the midst of Chen Ku's discourse, behold—on the earth, pillars of light shot up into the sky, brilliant and dazzling, blazing to the extreme.

Nothing else!

That was precisely because, under his discourse, many beings of the West felt something within and thus achieved breakthroughs.

Seeing this, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others could not help but nod repeatedly.

"The Hunyuan Dao is indeed profoundly mysterious."

"Even a single thread or strand of Dao resonance, insignificant as it may seem, is for the cultivators of the Wilderness a treasure for enlightenment."

Jieyin spoke, thus expressing his admiration.

Beside him, Zhunti wore a face full of satisfaction.

"Although our disciple nominally is a Buddhist disciple, he has, all along, been self-taught."

"Relying solely on his own strength, he comprehended the Hunyuan Dao and reached the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal."

"Such talent is truly unparalleled in ancient times, unprecedented and unmatched."

Zhunti's tone was somewhat strange.

After all, speaking now, it is indeed unprecedented in history.

Who would have thought that Chen Ku has two sage-level masters and uncles-master, yet he himself could still forge a path never walked before by anyone?!

Hongyun then thought to himself that he fundamentally had no qualification to assume the posture of a senior.

He looked around the Western Heaven and Earth, and at this moment only a face full of astonishment and incredulity remained.

"Daoist Chen Ku, in this exposition of the Dao, it seems you have further perfected the laws and order of the Western Heaven and Earth."

"With the elevation of status, spiritual qi has become even more abundant, and the myriad principles of the Great Dao have also become even more vast and profound."

"In the future, the sentient beings of my West will surely be able to reach astonishing and extraordinary heights."

Hongyun exclaimed thus.

As a sage, he clearly sensed it.

This time, Chen Ku's exposition of the Dao benefited not only the sentient beings of the West.

Even the vast Western Heaven and Earth itself obtained elevation thereby.

Amid the astonishment of the Three Sages.

Unbeknownst to them, Chen Ku's exposition of the Dao gradually came to an end.

The immortal music gradually subsided, countless sentient beings slowly awoke, yet still wore expressions of lingering desire.

Regarding this, Chen Ku smiled knowingly and said:

"This exposition of the Dao here has already been sufficient!"

"You sentient beings should contemplate well and thoroughly digest it."

"Haste makes waste; keep this in mind!"

Chen Ku thus instructed the sentient beings of the West.

He also knew that the sentient beings still wished for him to expound more mysteries of the Mixed Yuan Dao.

However, one must know that greed leads to indigestion; too much exposition of the Dao is not necessarily beneficial for sentient beings.

Upon hearing this, the sentient beings immediately bowed their heads.

"We shall keep it in mind!"

Now, every move Chen Ku makes bears the same stature and dignity as Jieyin and Zhunti.

Even Maitreya, Dashizhi, Yaoshi, and other Buddhist disciples feel the same way.

After the exposition of the Dao ended, Chen Ku did not then disperse the crowd.

He glanced at the crowd and immediately continued speaking:

"Now, I have proven the Dao as a Mixed Yuan Luo Golden Immortal."

"The many spiritual treasures I accumulated earlier are now of little use."

"Today, I shall distribute these treasures here, bestowing them all upon suitable individuals."

Upon these words.

Jieyin and Zhunti were instantly somewhat startled.

Distribute treasures?!

This brat.... does indeed have some of the demeanor of the Hongjun Dao Ancestor from back then, ah.

But upon further thought, it is also understandable.

Chen Ku's accumulation is indeed astonishingly great.

However, back when he was a Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, some spiritual treasures could still exert their due effect.

But if compared with his current cultivation as a Mixed Yuan Luo Golden Immortal, they seem rather inadequate.

Distributing them to others in the West is also reasonable.

Below, upon hearing this, the crowd's eyes immediately lit up with great excitement.

"Senior Chen Ku is going to distribute treasures?!"

"Heavens, Senior Chen Ku's generosity—this kindness, we shall never forget for eternity."

"Hehe, wonderful!"

"Senior Chen Ku's spiritual treasures are all extraordinary; if I could obtain one, my strength would surely soar and increase a hundredfold without end."

"I do not know if I am fortunate enough to receive Senior Chen Ku's favor?!"

Overjoyed!

Impatient!

All the people fixed their gaze on Chen Ku without blinking.

This act can be said to have hooked the expectations of everyone.

Seeing this, Chen Ku no longer wasted words.

He waved his hand repeatedly.

"This is the Qinglian Treasure-Colored Banner; True Man Dudu may wield this treasure!"

As the words fell, the Qinglian Treasure-Colored Banner shot forth and immediately landed in Dudu Zhenren's hand.

"The Wuji Bracelet; the Goddess Xihe may wield it!"

"The Ninefold Hammer, immensely heavy, cannot be controlled by those without great strength...."

"The Innate Bitter Bamboo......"

Chen Ku's words came one after another.

And with each utterance, a spiritual treasure immediately appeared and fell into the hands of other powerful beings.

This scene left Jieyin and Zhunti utterly dazed.

Good fellow!

I damn well call it a good fellow!

Top-grade innate spiritual treasure?!

The Chaos Demon God's innate spirit treasure?!

Even Chen Ku's own innate spirit treasure was bestowed without hesitation?!

What an astonishing feat!

Even a sage could not accomplish this.

Even Jieyin and Zhunti watched with burning eyes, wishing they could go and divide a few pieces themselves.

Of course, this was merely a thought.

As great sages, they naturally would not compete with ordinary disciples for opportunities.

And from this, one can see just how astonishing Chen Ku's foundation truly is.

For him, even a top-grade innate spirit treasure serves only an ordinary purpose.

In fact, in Chen Ku's view, only the Chaos Pearl, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler, and a few other spirit treasures can truly be put to use.

The distribution of treasures lasted for a long while.

Chen Ku not only distributed all the spirit treasures he had accumulated.

Moreover, in that Chaos Secret Realm earlier, he had also obtained a single innate swordwood.

Now, that innate swordwood, planted beneath Mount Sumeru, has borne countless sword pellets.

Jieyin, Zhunti, Hongyun, and Chen Ku acted together, refining all those sword pellets into innate spirit treasures.

Afterwards, they similarly bestowed them upon many Western beings and the strong of the three clans, among others.

This wave brought countless strong beings immense joy, with bountiful gains.

Countless words of respectful thanks to Chen Ku echoed without cease.

Chen Ku smiled with satisfaction.

This act also served to enhance the overall strength of the West.

Thus, he hesitated not at all, feeling no stinginess or miserliness.

Finally, the distribution of treasures was complete.

Innumerable beings offered thanks once more, needless to say.

Afterwards, he turned and left in great excitement, to adapt to the newly acquired spirit treasures.

Not long after, only the Four Sages remained seated in the Great Thunder Sound Temple.

Hongyun restrained his smile, at this moment as if recalling something.

"How strange..."

"The earlier demon race slaughter of humans, this calamity came truly without warning."

"Even we sages had not the slightest forewarning."

"Strange... truly strange..."
