Chapter 165: The Three Teachings Are Dumbfounded! What on Earth Did Lu Yun Do Again?!

Shouyang Mountain.

The Three Teachings were still continuing their discourse on the Dao.

At this moment, the content of their discussion was so profound that even some Great Luo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Saint level powerhouses felt quite strained just listening to it.

Yet they had no intention of stopping; on the contrary, they debated even more vigorously.

Because they all thought that by taking this opportunity to discuss more, they might be able to make the Heavenly Dao bestow more merit, and thus reap greater rewards.

But precisely because of this, the content of their discussion gradually exceeded the scope they had originally prepared, and some unexpected situations began to emerge.

The surprise stemmed from the fact that the doctrines Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian had originally established for their respective sects were already different.

In particular, the doctrines of the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, held by Yuanshi and Tongtian respectively, were almost diametrically opposed.

So much so that as they discussed the Dao, they gradually began to have disagreements, and even arguments broke out.

Taiqing Laozi, the leader of the Three Teachings, had always advocated that the Great Dao is simple and follows nature. He believed that all things should develop according to the laws of nature, and the Human Race was no exception. In his doctrine, the Human Race should live a simple, natural life rather than excessively pursuing material enjoyment and the enhancement of strength, as things would naturally fall into place.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun did not think so. He advocated for the Chan Sect, which meant guiding the Human Race toward civilization through education. He believed that the Human Race possessed infinite potential; as long as they respected the strong and constantly learned from other powerful beings, they could create their own glorious civilization.

Tongtian Jiaozhu was even more radical. He advocated for the Jie Sect, which meant intercepting a glimmer of life from the Heavenly Dao to seek welfare for the Human Race. He believed that if the Human Race wanted to develop, they should regard themselves as the protagonists between heaven and earth; only by competing with the myriad races could they achieve more progress and development.

The three held their own opinions; at first, it was just a peaceful discussion, but as time passed, their tones gradually became intense.

In particular, Yuanshi and Tongtian almost lost their composure and began to quarrel.

The numerous disciples of the Three Teachings and the great powers of the Great Desolation below were all as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to make a sound.

Even the Human Race beneath Shouyang Mountain became nervous one after another. They could not understand what the Three Teachings were arguing about, but they could feel the tense atmosphere in the air.

Just at this moment, an unexpected thing happened—

"Hum!"

Several faint streaks of Merit Golden Light suddenly flew in from afar, attracting everyone's attention.

Before everyone could react, those streaks of Merit Golden Light landed directly on Duobao, Zhao Gongming, the Sanxiao, and others.

"What is going on?"

This scene left everyone feeling stunned.

Especially the disciples of the Ren Sect and the Chan Sect, who were even more bewildered.

Everyone was clearly here listening to the lecture, so how did you suddenly obtain Heavenly Dao merit?

The Three Teachings also stopped their argument and looked in unison at those streaks of Merit Golden Light.

They thought it was the merit from their own preaching that had descended, but upon closer inspection, it was not. Because the Merit Golden Cloud that had condensed above the firmament due to their preaching had not yet descended at this time.

Then where did this Heavenly Dao merit come from?

Duobao, Zhao Gongming, and the other parties involved were also completely confused at this moment.

They had no idea where this Merit Golden Light came from, or why it had landed on them.

It was not until the Merit Golden Light entered their bodies that they obtained information regarding the source of the merit, and for a moment, their expressions became even more astonished.

It turned out that this was because Duobao, Zhao Gongming, and the others had previously helped the Human Race build a city under the Thunder Spirit Immortal Wood! After some divination, the Three Teachings also learned the origin of this Merit Golden Light.

For a time, the Three Teachings fell into silence.

They had not expected that after the three of them had worked so hard to preach for so long without receiving Heavenly Dao merit, it was actually a few juniors from the Jie Sect who had obtained it first!

What surprised them even more was that the reason Duobao and the others obtained Heavenly Dao merit was related to that Lu Yun!

After some divination just now, they had already calculated that Lu Yun had not only successfully undergone Tribulation Transcendence but had also returned to the Primordial Land, and had just performed some kind of feat, which had induced the Heavenly Dao to bestow a large amount of merit, a small portion of which had even been shared with Duobao and the others.

This made Laozi feel quite terrible for a moment.

Because he discovered that the rise in the Human Race Luck he had previously sensed had now actually dropped back down!

In other words, the true goal he wanted to achieve with this lecture had not been reached! And what made Laozi feel even more depressed was that because they had stopped their discourse at this time, the Heavenly Dao actually deemed their lecture finished; the Merit Golden Cloud above the firmament stopped growing and fell directly, splitting into three parts that landed on the three of them respectively.

Regarding this, Yuanshi was also somewhat helpless.

Tongtian, however, was very curious about what that Lu Yun of the Human Race had done to actually obtain Heavenly Dao merit again.

From the fact that Duobao and the others had gained so much merit just by participating slightly, it was not hard to see that the Heavenly Dao merit Lu Yun gained this time was definitely no less than what they had gained from their lecture!

Tongtian really wanted to investigate the truth, but he had to consider Laozi's feelings, so he could not help but look at Laozi.

Laozi was dispirited at this moment; he waved his hand at the beings below and said, "This lecture ends here!"

After speaking, he transformed into a streak of golden light and flew directly toward the Bajing Palace on Shouyang Mountain.

Yuanshi and Tongtian naturally followed closely behind.

And as they left, the crowd that had been listening also dispersed, feeling unfulfilled. Some were discussing the content of the Three Teachings' lecture, but more were curious about what had happened with the merit Duobao and the others had obtained earlier, and why the Three Teachings looked so unhappy after seeing it.

Some who were familiar with Duobao and the others even took the initiative to come over to congratulate them and ask for news.

But how could Duobao and the others dare to tell the truth? They hurriedly brushed them off and rushed toward the Bajing Palace, fearing that their master and the two uncles would blame them, and prepared to go and explain everything properly.

Xuandu, Guangchengzi, and other disciples of the two sects naturally followed as well.

However, when Duobao and the others arrived at the Bajing Palace, they found that Laozi and the others had no time to pay attention to their explanations.

Because at this moment, Laozi and the others had taken out a Treasure Mirror and were directly reflecting the situation in Yuan City, watching it carefully.

Duobao and the others did not dare to disturb them and likewise looked at the scene within the Treasure Mirror.

At this sight, their eyes widened in an instant.

Although they had previously helped the Human Race complete some basic construction of the city and built many structures, Yuan City was basically unfinished when they left.

Yet at this moment, Yuan City was not only finished, but it had already begun to operate.

Among them, many humans were moving into various residences according to Lu Yun's previous instructions, and many humans had also begun to send the Five Grains and Six Livestock obtained from Lu Yun to various places, planting what needed to be planted and feeding what needed to be fed.

Looking at the busy humans and the vibrant Yuan City, Duobao and the others were all shocked.

The other disciples of the Three Teachings did not even know that the Human Race had been building a city, so they were even more shocked at this moment.

As for Chang'er Dingguang Xian, he recognized the plants and livestock the humans were planting and feeding; they were clearly the things "Lu Wen" had asked those humans to search for earlier. But he was a bit confused: he had clearly stolen one of them in secret and covered up its origin so that those humans could not find it, so why were these humans unaffected now? Could it be that they had found them elsewhere later?

The Three Teachings, however, had no time to pay attention to the reactions of their disciples; at this moment, they were all focused on studying what exactly Lu Yun had done, and how he was able to obtain Heavenly Dao merit and snatch away a significant amount of Human Race Luck once again!...

Inside Yuan City.

Nuwa and the sisters Xihe and Changxi looked at the busy Human Race, and smiles appeared on their faces.

This feeling of prosperity made them feel very comfortable.

Just then, Changxi suddenly noticed that Lu Yun was frowning deeply, and being somewhat puzzled for a moment, she asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is the matter with you?"

Lu Yun came back to his senses and laughed, "It is nothing. I was just thinking about how to promote the model of Yuan City to all parts of the Great Desolation, so that the Human Race can possess more cities like this!"

He was not lying; these were his true thoughts.

Because he had previously assumed that by establishing Yuan City, setting down the Five Grains and Six Livestock, and obtaining merit from the Heavenly Dao, he should have completed the legendary task triggered in the Chat Group: to push the Human Race into the agricultural era.

But in fact, the Listen-to-Advice System had not sounded its notification tone just now, and the Legendary Treasure Chest he was expecting had not been received either.

Clearly, there was only one reason: the task progress had not reached what the system deemed completion, which was why the reward had not been credited.

Therefore, to continue pushing the task progress, the only way was naturally to continue building cities and to continue vigorously pushing the Human Race to develop agriculture.

Perhaps only when the majority of the Human Race began to change their living habits and accept agricultural civilization would the task be considered complete.

Nuwa actually also wanted to immediately promote this lifestyle to all the Human Race throughout the Great Desolation.

She asked, "Then have you thought about how you are going to do it?"

Lu Yun nodded and said, "It is nothing more than sending out my incarnations to go to all parts of the Great Desolation to assist the Human Race in building more cities, and to promote the Five Grains and Six Livestock; there is no other way besides this."

While they were speaking, Lu Yun had not closed the live stream, so the members of the Transmigration Chat Group also heard their discussion.

At this moment, the people in the live stream could not help but start discussing.

You Fang: "Why doesn't Big Brother Lu Yun use his Supernatural Power to directly make all the Human Race in the Great Desolation build cities together and start farming together?"

Ming Xi: "That's right, building cities and the Five Grains?"

Liu Chongxiao: "It is possible, but it takes time for the Human Race in various places to complete city construction and the operation of the Five Grains and Six Livestock; this cannot be rushed."

Ling Yan: "You all overlooked one point, which is that building cities requires adapting to local conditions, and developing agriculture in various places requires even more consideration of the different situations in each place; one cannot just copy and paste!"

Xiao Ling'er: "In that case, I fear that only Big Brother Lu Yun's incarnations going to various places can better promote agricultural civilization!"

Jiang Ye: "Hey, haven't you noticed that Big Brother Lu Yun doesn't need to hide in the Map of Mountains and Rivers anymore? Could it be that Big Brother Lu Yun's Newbie Period is over and he is no longer afraid of the Heavenly Condemnation Halo?"

Lu Yun glanced at the live stream and happened to see the question raised by Jiang Ye.

He smiled slightly and replied in the live stream.

Lu Yun: "That's right! After passing the Great Luo Golden Immortal Tribulation, my Heavenly Condemnation Halo dissipated, and now I have completely integrated into the Primordial World!"

The people in the live stream immediately began to congratulate him one after another.

Xiao Ling'er: "That is truly great!"

Fang Wenjie: "Congratulations to Big Brother Lu Yun!"

Ming Xi: "In that case, can't Big Brother Lu Yun travel around the Great Desolation as he pleases now?"

Zhou Yu: "Without the Heavenly Condemnation Halo, he can definitely go wherever he wants!"

Lin Chen: "Still, one cannot be careless. Perhaps the Heavenly Dao will not target you next, but Hongjun might not necessarily let you off. @Lu Yun, you had better be a bit more careful!"

Fang Xu: "Well said! Better safe than sorry!"

Lu Yun looked at the barrage sent by everyone, and suddenly a system notification tone popped up in his mind.

"Ding! Received suggestion: Travel around the Great Desolation! Reward: One Rare Treasure Chest!"

Lu Yun really had not expected that chatting casually could actually trigger a task.

Although it was only a rare task, to him, this was simply like getting a reward for free, so he was naturally happy.

After all, he originally had the intention to travel around the Great Desolation! Plus, he had previously thought about letting his incarnations go to all parts of the Great Desolation to build cities for the Human Race and promote agriculture, so he himself naturally would not be idle.

Thus, he suddenly looked at Nuwa and the sisters Xihe and Changxi, and laughed, "The three of you, I wonder if you have any interest in coming with me to see the various parts of the Human Race, and incidentally travel around the Great Desolation?"

Changxi's eyes lit up, and she decisively agreed, "Okay, okay!"

Xihe also smiled slightly and said, "I have long wanted to tour the Great Desolation!"

Nuwa had long since toured many places in the Great Desolation, but Fuxi was currently in seclusion within the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and the Map of Mountains and Rivers was on Lu Yun's person, so she naturally had to act together with Lu Yun for the time being.

Therefore, Nuwa nodded and said, "That is fine too. I also want to walk around various places properly and see the situation of the Human Race in each area."

Hearing this, Changxi could not help but urge them, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's set off now!"

Lu Yun, however, smiled slightly and said, "No rush, we are waiting for one more person."

Xihe asked in confusion, "Waiting for whom?"

Lu Yun did not speak, but only looked up at the sky.

The three women looked up one after another, and they saw a streak of light coming rapidly toward this side.

It was precisely Lu Yun's Literature Dao incarnation, Lu Wen, riding Kunpeng, descending from the sky and landing in front of them.

Changxi said in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, is this who you were waiting for?"

Lu Yun said, "To be precise, I was waiting for Kunpeng! Don't you think that flying around to tour the Great Desolation by yourselves is a bit monotonous, and that riding Kunpeng to travel is more interesting?"

Hearing this, the eyes of the sisters Xihe and Changxi lit up all at once.

Kunpeng, however, was suddenly furious and shouted at Lu Yun, "Don't you even think about it!"
