Chapter 25

What is the Luo Tianzun God?

Facing Yangmei's question, everyone fell into contemplation.

Qi Jiang spoke of Hongjun's words about the Daluo Way.

By opening a small world of one's own, relying on the primordial wilderness, the fruition of the Dao hangs onto the primordial wilderness realm, mirroring the primordial wilderness and constantly correcting itself.

Furthermore, one can also use the power of the small world and the primordial wilderness to fight and cultivate techniques.

However, Yangmei refuted this: "Is the path you follow your own, or is it the Heavenly Way of the primordial wilderness?"

Having entered Chaos, distancing oneself from the primordial wilderness and the small world, lacking the support of heaven and earth, one's realm declines; in that case, is your cultivation still yours?

Although this method is easy, it is merely an attempt at a shortcut.

Taking this method as the Daluo, one mistakenly goes astray without realizing it!

The path mirrors the primordial wilderness heaven and earth; although the future is clear, one can know that the Dao has already died!

Although a clear, visible path is certainly precious, it will eventually come to an end.

The Heavenly Emperor harbors the primordial wilderness heaven and earth; the road he opens takes the primordial wilderness as its mainstay.

But compared to the Taihuang, it ends up somewhat lacking.

Upon hearing this, everyone awakened their spirits and listened attentively.

Luo Tian, beyond this realm in the eight-direction worlds, everywhere has layered Luo Tian; setting aside the sun, moon, five planets, and twenty-eight constellations, it is no different from the southern heaven's Wanli.

Although it does not yet exist, the Heavenly Emperor envisions that future generations will themselves open up a Great Luo heaven, relying on the primordial wilderness, transforming into three thousand great thousand worlds.

Therefore, Luo Tian encompasses all heavens!

Seeing everyone listening intently, Yangmei continued speaking:

The Supreme Emperor, receiving this inspiration, furthered it, making his way differ from that of the Heavenly Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor's Luo Heaven way: he himself opens up a Great Luo heaven, and the Great Luo heaven relies on the Way's fruition.

The evolution of the world begins with one's own Dao and ends with one's own Dao; right and wrong are self-evident!

In movement and rest, there inherently exists the immense power of the world, standing equal to all heavens.

Everyone's gazes grew solemn; the two Dao, though seemingly similar yet actually far apart, each have their merits and faults, but if they were to choose, they would surely pick the latter.

As for the Earth Emperor's Dao, it is most different: it nurtures all things and sustains myriad beings.

Not opening a Great Luo heaven, but instead using the Way's fruition to refine and transform heaven and earth; within heaven and earth, divine power is bestowed.

The greater the extent occupied, the stronger the divine might; if there are secret realms of heaven and earth, they could even rival the Primordial Origin.

The Dao as heaven and earth brings great merit.

Hearing this, everyone also felt it was a way out, but they would abandon their own Dao and pursue the Dao of heaven and earth.

How could the vastness of heaven and earth be taken by a single person?

While refining, one's own Dao fruition will also become that of heaven and earth.

Within the range of refinement, strength naturally becomes strong, but once one leaves, their cultivation may also decline accordingly.

If one strays too far, they might even become like an ordinary mortal.

Seeing everyone pondering, Yangmei asked:

What do you all desire?

Having said this, everyone understood that among the three paths, he would only speak of one, and it would depend on how everyone chose.

Qi Jiang and Taiyi, etc., exchanged glances, understood everyone's thoughts, and answered the choice of all:

Seniors, we wish to follow the Supreme Emperor's Great way, with great power returning to ourselves.

Seeing this, Yangmei smiled and said: 'Good!'

We are all innate divinities; the scene of Pangu the Great God opening heaven still lies before our eyes.

As for how to open a Great Luo heaven, you surely have your own ideas; I will say no more.

Then I will simply explain how the world hangs onto the Dao fruition.

This time, Yangmei's lecture had no heavenly-earthly portents; it was plain and calm, without the slightest ripple.

Yet everyone listened earnestly, daring not to slack off in the slightest, fearing any omission.

The little cow on the distant hill raised its head and pricked its ears, but could hear nothing; anxious, it jumped up, yet dared not wander over.

He had previously listened to the Dao of the Taiyi Supreme God, like listening to celestial music, hazy and vague, and had already forgotten most of it.

But some understandable parts were noted down, which counts as a bountiful harvest, greatly increasing his cultivation.

This time's harvest from listening to the Dao even exceeds what he has gained from his cultivation since birth.

That is why he is so anxious, unable to sit or stand still.

Although he knows a great opportunity lies before him, he simply cannot obtain it.

The little cow feeling it has suffered a great loss can only lie by the lakeside at the foot of the mountain, close its eyes and listen quietly, trying to catch a few words.

In the end, gaining nothing, it could only go up the mountain to eat grass listlessly.

Yangmei's lecture this time was intermittent, often pausing to answer everyone's doubts.

If there was anything unclear, he would even turn back and lecture again, so that everyone could fully understand and remember the principles.

But in total it lasted only three thousand years before stopping; for the Supreme Emperor's Luo Heaven way, he gave a complete narration.

Seeing everyone lost in thought, he remained silent, merely walking to the nearby mountain, using a sprig of top-grade spiritual root to tease the little cow, playing alone.

When Qi Jiang and the others awoke, the little cow already lay on the ground without strength to stand.

Seeing everyone awaken, Yangmei casually slipped the sprig of spiritual root into the little cow's mouth, then turned and walked toward them.

Upon reaching everyone's side, Yangmei clasped his hands in salute.

Friends, our affinity has now ended; I hope that in the future you all will achieve success, and if we are destined to meet again, we shall sit and discuss the Dao.

Not waiting for everyone's reply, their figure gradually faded away in the Yunmeng Marsh.

Everyone felt helpless, simultaneously raising their hands to return the salute.

"Seeing off the senior, thanking the senior for the grace of expounding the Dao."

Far away at the other end of the Primordial Wasteland.

A greenish willow branch stretched out from the space, Yang Mei watching the three as they resisted the ferocious beast.

Sitting cross-legged to one side, waiting quietly.

Only after seeing the three victorious did he begin to pursue the ferocious beast the Utterly Strange; when the projection of the God Rebel appeared, he then acted.

The fine willow branches sealed heaven and earth, severing the God Rebel's projection.

"I am the Hollow-hearted Willow, Yang Mei is also! Greetings, fellow Daoists."

After Yang Mei left, everyone momentarily felt at a loss.

Now the ferocious beast has passed through Cloud Dream Marsh, heading further toward Bei Fang.

With the crisis resolved, everyone seemed to feel that parting was imminent, feeling somewhat reluctant.

The intersection of several Great Cycles made them truly like-minded companions.

Qi Jian found the atmosphere somewhat dull; the lively atmosphere said:

"Why do you all act this way? We are innate divine beings, sharing heaven's lifespan; what worry is there of not meeting again?"

"I haven't tried to drive you away; why rush off? Come, let's have a feast."

"Furthermore, Cloud Dream Marsh always welcomes you; if you miss me, you can come anytime."

Everyone thought it over and also felt they had been overly sentimental; Cloud Dream Marsh isn't really far.

If willing, tearing through space to travel, even thousands of years would arrive.

If one's cultivation advances, perhaps it won't take that long.

Thinking of this, he smiled faintly.

"I fear that when the time comes, fellow Daoists will think we're bothering them too much, dislike our trouble, and find an excuse to go out and travel."

Nüwa said jokingly.

Everyone laughed in unison, the laughter carrying to an extremely distant place.

"Sunset is imminent; let's feast first."

Those who played wind instruments played, those who plucked strings plucked, those who played chess enjoyed themselves; it was exceedingly joyful.

"These three brothers are so bored; Cloud Dream Marsh is much more fun!"

Yang Mei, while lecturing on the Dao in East Kunlun, also felt moved in his heart.

These bitter days still have thousands of years, and they are hard to endure.

After all, repeating the same principle many times becomes tedious; in this Great Calamity, he has already lectured many times and must continue to do so.
