Chapter 840: The Era of Great Livestreaming
As Jieyin Daoren preached, the powerhouses of the Primordial Continent at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level and above all clearly felt the luck of Buddhism beginning to surge.
Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian, along with Nuwa, wore grave expressions, for without "opening new sources," the total amount of luck in the Primordial Continent was finite. Now that the luck of Buddhism was surging, their own luck would naturally decline accordingly.
It was not like the Human Luck, which was led by Yin Qi as he guided the Human Race to step into a higher level of civilization.
This belonged to opening new sources.
"Livestreaming a sermon—it really works!"
Jieyin Daoren and Zhunti Daoren were overjoyed; they discovered they had somewhat underestimated the effect of livestreaming a sermon, so they preached even more diligently, for they knew competition was about to arrive.
The Three Pure Ones would never allow them to preach without taking action themselves.
In fact, it was just as they had thought.
"This poor Daoist shall also livestream!"
Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu had only one thought at this moment: they must absolutely not let the Western Two Sages seize the initiative.
This livestreamed sermon was aimed at the entire Primordial Continent; once hundreds of trillions of people accepted the Buddhist philosophy, it would be difficult to turn their hearts back in the future.
Furthermore, influenced by these people, even more would be inclined to practice Buddhist Dharma.
This was something the Three Pure Ones could not accept.
In the past, when everyone preached, the area of influence was limited, and there were no such thoughts between them.
But now with Douyin, the vast Primordial Continent had been infinitely shrunk.
Thus, Laozi sat in the Eight Views Palace and said in a resonant voice: "This poor Daoist Laozi, Human Teachings Sect Leader, will begin livestreaming a sermon tomorrow. All beings of the Primordial Continent who possess a Mobile Phone may listen to the sermon."
"This poor Daoist Yuanshi, Chan Sect Leader, will begin livestreaming a sermon tomorrow. All beings of the Primordial Continent who possess a Mobile Phone may listen to the sermon."
"This poor Daoist Tongtian, the Jie Sect Leader, will begin livestreaming a sermon tomorrow. All beings of the Primordial Continent who possess a Mobile Phone may listen to the sermon."
The grand voices of the Three Pure Ones echoed throughout all realms of the Primordial Continent.
Upon hearing this, Nuwa, who had still been somewhat hesitant, also hurriedly announced: "This poor Daoist Nuwa, Saint Emperor of the Demon Race and Holy Mother of the Human Race, will begin livestreaming a sermon tomorrow. All beings of the Primordial Continent who possess a Mobile Phone may listen to the sermon."
There was no network in the Outer Starry Sky, and the luck of the Demon Race there was stable.
But if she did not livestream, the luck of the Demon Race on the Primordial Continent would certainly flow away rapidly until it was completely snatched up.
Even the Human Luck might potentially decline.
Therefore, even though she did not like preaching, she had no choice but to follow suit now.
Houtu, however, was quite calm.
Neither the Witch God Realm nor the Underworld had the Heavenly Dao Network; her base was in no danger of being snatched, so she was naturally happy to watch the excitement.
The announcement of the sermons by the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa caused the entire Primordial Continent to boil over.
"Hahaha, excellent! The Sages all preaching together—this is a myriad-ancient miracle for us cultivators."
"I am of the Demon Race; if I can listen to Wa Palace preach, why listen to Buddhist Dharma? It's all vague and mysterious—who can understand it?"
"The Sect Master has great virtue; we can finally listen to the Sect Master preach."
"A great opportunity, a great opportunity! Everyone can refine more Mobile Phones and record the videos of the Sages' sermons to keep for slow contemplation in the future, or even as items of Inheritance."
The West.
Lingshan.
The declarations of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa caused Jieyin and Zhunti to knit their brows tightly.
They had thought the four would follow the trend, but they had not expected it to be so swift. With only a one-day difference, it was difficult for them to plant the seeds of Buddhist Dharma in the hearts of the beings of the Primordial Continent.
Thinking of this, they could only curse inwardly.
Just then, the voice of Minghe Laozu actually rang out between Heaven and Earth: "This poor Daoist Minghe, Lord of the Sea of Blood and Asura Sect Leader, will begin livestreaming a sermon tomorrow. All beings of the Primordial Continent who possess a Mobile Phone may listen to the sermon."
Jieyin and Zhunti both couldn't help but have their faces turn black.
We Sages are livestreaming sermons, why are you, Minghe Laozu, joining in the fun!
... Deep in the Sea of Blood.
Minghe Laozu's eyes lit up, and he calculated excitedly: "Back then, when Nuwa created humans, I followed by creating the Asura Race. Now that the Sages are livestreaming to spread the Dao, I can do the same. Perhaps this will be the opportunity for me to become a Saint."
Becoming a Saint had always been his obsession.
Back then, Nuwa created humans and obtained massive merit, thereby becoming a Saint in one stroke.
Although he had also obtained quite a bit of luck by creating the Asura Race, he had always been stuck at the Quasi-Saint Peak; it seemed only a step away from becoming a Saint, but in reality, it was like looking at flowers through a fog—unattainable.
If he could spread his Blood Sea Demonic Dao throughout the Primordial Continent, he might be able to break through the bottleneck with the help of the immense luck.
In the past, it was not that Minghe Laozu had not thought about preaching in the Primordial Continent.
In fact, he had always been doing it, but the effect was not ideal because the exclusion by the Sages made it extremely difficult for him to spread his teachings, and he could only do so secretly to avoid being besieged by all sides.
After all, the Blood Sea Demonic Dao and its cultivation methods were not tolerated by various factions.
But it was different with Douyin livestreaming.
Douyin livestreaming was aimed at the entire Primordial Continent; as long as there were people whose hearts were inclined toward the Blood Sea Demonic Dao, they would certainly practice the cultivation methods he passed down, which would allow his orthodoxy to spread across the Primordial Continent at the fastest speed.
Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... shu....!
Even if various factions wanted to stop it, they would absolutely be unable to do so.
Thinking of this, he used the power of the Abi and Yuantu Swords to amplify his voice across the entire Primordial Continent:
"This poor Daoist Minghe, Lord of the Sea of Blood and Asura Sect Leader, will begin livestreaming a sermon tomorrow. All beings of the Primordial Continent who possess a Mobile Phone may listen to the sermon."
Haotian's eyes were bright. He turned to look at Yaochi Jinmu and said, "Yaochi, even Minghe Laozu is livestreaming a sermon; we feel we can too. Firstly, to spread our orthodoxy, and secondly, to promote the Heavenly Court."
Yaochi Jinmu nodded slowly and said thoughtfully, "It is not impossible. But the Heavenly Court does not have the Heavenly Dao Network; you cannot run to the Primordial Continent every day to livestream. Besides, you are busy with official duties, where would you find the time?"
Haotian laughed and said, "Yaochi, that is where you are mistaken. As for preaching, why would I need my true self? A Good Corpse or Evil Corpse would both work, or even a Clone would suffice."
Livestreaming a sermon is not preaching on the spot; it does not require the true self to be present.
……
"I, Haotian, as the Lord of the Three Realms, will begin a live-streamed sermon tomorrow. All living beings in Honghuang who possess a Mobile Phone may listen to the sermon."
"I, Kunpeng, as the Demon Master of the Demon Race……"
"I, Zhenyuanzi, as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals……"
Following closely after Haotian, Kunpeng and Zhenyuanzi also announced they would live-stream sermons; they also wished to use Douyin live-streaming to spread their Daoist traditions and harvest Qi luck.
As for the Quasi-Sages like the Queen Mother of the West and the Lunar Star Lord.
They were reclusive and free from worldly disputes, so they did not participate.
In reality, it was not just these Saints and Quasi-Sages; many Great Luo Golden Immortals in Honghuang, and even Golden Immortals and Mysterious Immortals, decided to live-stream sermons, as they likewise needed to establish Daoist traditions and obtain Qi luck.
With Qi luck bestowed upon one's person, cultivation becomes twice as effective with half the effort.
Of course, they lacked the ability to make an announcement to the entire Honghuang, nor did they have the courage to do so.
But they were determined to live-stream their sermons.
……
Listening to the announcements one after another, Yin Qi was also somewhat stunned.
He could guess that the various Saints would vie to live-stream, but he had not expected that Quasi-Sages like Minghe Laozu would also follow the trend; it seemed as if Honghuang had suddenly entered the era of mass live-streaming.
However, this was also fine.
A single flower blooming does not make a spring; when a hundred flowers bloom, the garden is filled with spring.
Although the various Saints are Saints, their Dao is not necessarily suitable for everyone.
The various Quasi-Sages following the trend to live-stream will, to a certain extent, also weaken the influence of the various Saints among the Human Race. (End of this chapter)
