Chapter 191: A Grand Feat

"I, Lu Yun, today open a Path of Proving the Dao for the Human Race here, starting from the Human Race's Yuan City and ending at the Buzhou Divine Mountain, establishing various Trial Lands to help the children of my Human Race cultivate and grow!"

"From now on, all children of my Human Race may obtain cultivation opportunities by entering the Trial Secret Realms, step by step, proving their own Dao, until they ascend to the summit of Mount Buzhou and look down upon the peak of the Great Desolation!"

Lu Yun's voice was like a great bell, resounding in every corner of the Great Desolation, allowing all living beings of the Great Desolation to hear his words.

In an instant, the entire Primordial World was in an uproar! "What? Lu Yun wants to open a Path of Proving the Dao for the Human Race?!"

"Connecting all the way from Yuan City to the Buzhou Divine Mountain? What a grand feat this is!"

"Once this Path of Proving the Dao is opened, doesn't it mean the cultivation speed of the Primordial Human Race will improve once again?!"

Countless living beings of the Great Desolation were shocked by this news, and discussions rose one after another.

Especially the Primordial Human Race, who were even more excited at this moment.

"The Path of Proving the Dao, we actually possess a Path of Proving the Dao!"

"Thank you, Sage Master Lu Yun! He is truly the lucky star of our Primordial Human Race!"

"With this Path of Proving the Dao, the strength of our Primordial Human Race will surely be able to reach a higher level!"

Within the various territories of the Human Race across the Great Desolation, sounds like crashing waves erupted, and countless humans cheered and jumped for joy.

At the same time, within Kunlun Mountain, the Three Teachings were also stunned by this sudden move from Lu Yun.

They also understood at this moment that Lu Yun did not come to Shouyang Mountain to stir up trouble, but to bring opportunities to the Human Race!

Moreover, this opportunity Lu Yun bestowed was extremely great, as he had directly opened up a Path of Proving the Dao for the Human Race!

What a grand feat this was! Laozi took a deep breath and said slowly, "This Lu Yun... is truly a character! To actually be able to think of such a method to improve the strength of the Human Race."

Only then did he realize that Lu Yun's previous temporary change in strategy to create so many Trial Lands for the Human Race had this as its true intention! They had not seen it at all before! Yuanshi snorted and said, "Hmph, he is merely playing a clever trick and taking advantage of having the first-mover advantage!"

His mood was very depressed, because he had previously suggested that the disciples of the Three Teachings also open up many Trial Lands in the Human Race cities near Shouyang Mountain.

Now, these Trial Lands they had opened were actually encompassed by Lu Yun's Path of Proving the Dao, which was equivalent to working for Lu Yun!

Tongtian sighed and said, "Regardless, this move by Lu Yun is indeed a great thing for the Primordial Human Race. As Saints, we should seek welfare for all living beings of the Great Desolation; in this regard, we are indeed inferior to Lu Yun."

Yuanshi said with dissatisfaction, "Tongtian, you are boosting others' morale and destroying your own prestige! Now is not the time to admire that Lu Yun, but to consider how to help our eldest brother win back the Human Race's Luck!"

Laozi and Tongtian were both silent.

Because they had already realized that this move by Lu Yun would inevitably cause the Human Race Luck they had worked so hard to snatch from Lu Yun's hands to return to him!

This made Laozi somewhat unwilling.

Laozi suddenly said, "There is still a chance! In order not to expose his plan, this Lu Yun only built the first half of the Path of Proving the Dao from Yuan City to Shouyang City. If we rush to finish building the second half of the Path of Proving the Dao, we should also be able to get a share of the benefits from this!"

Yuanshi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly praised, "Eldest brother's words are reasonable! This time, do not let the disciples take action; we Saints will take action ourselves, just in case!"

Tongtian, however, suddenly discovered something and said helplessly, "I am afraid it is already too late!"

What? Laozi and Yuanshi were both startled and hurriedly investigated the situation on Lu Yun's side.

Then, they saw that after announcing this news, Lu Yun's figure slowly rose into the air, arriving at the higher firmament.

He formed seals with both hands, his divine sense moved, and he communicated with all his incarnations.

Immediately, those incarnations distributed along the path from Shouyang Mountain to Buzhou Mountain all suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance.

Seeing this scene, Yuanshi widened his eyes and said in horror, "Is this Lu Yun a madman?!"

Laozi and Tongtian also had moved expressions.

Because they were horrified to discover that Lu Yun's incarnations were actually using their own bodies to transform into all the Trial Secret Realms connecting the second half of the Path of Proving the Dao! In this way, the Trial Secret Realms on the second half of the Path of Proving the Dao were formed instantly and activated simultaneously!

At the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

The Literature Dao incarnation Lu Wen was also transforming his body into a secret realm, with countless characters floating around, branding the void, causing a massive Trial Secret Realm to gradually take shape.

Kunpeng watched this scene from the side, completely stunned.

Clearly, he had not expected that in order to achieve this Path of Proving the Dao for the Human Race, Lu Yun would go to such lengths! What was even more unexpected to him was that before his figure was about to dissipate, Lu Wen looked over at him and said, "The ten-year period has expired, Kunpeng, you are free."

As the words fell, Lu Wen's figure completely disappeared, and the Trial Secret Realm he had evolved with his body was also completely revealed!

Kunpeng's heart and mind were greatly shaken.

The day he had been looking forward to had finally arrived; he had originally thought he would be very happy, but for some reason, he felt somewhat lost and bereft at this moment.

It was also at this very instant—

"Hum!"

Starting from Yuan City and ending at the Buzhou Divine Mountain, countless brilliant pillars of light from arrays shot into the sky, as if to pierce through heaven and earth! Each pillar of light represented the location of a Trial Secret Realm, and these Trial Secret Realms were connected together by Lu Yun with exquisite techniques, forming a complete Path of Proving the Dao.

Lu Yun's voice sounded again: "The Path of Proving the Dao has been opened. All children of the Human Race, you may all come to venture forth and obtain the opportunities that belong to you!"

As Lu Yun's words fell, a burst of cheers immediately erupted within the Primordial World.

Especially the Primordial Human Race, who were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears; they actually possessed a Path of Proving the Dao of their own!

This was something that no other race in the Great Desolation possessed! And this Path of Proving the Dao was personally opened for them by their most revered Sage Master Lu Yun!

This made countless Primordial Human Race members feel incomparably honored and proud.

Of course, there were also Human Race children filled with curiosity and anticipation, wanting to step onto this Path of Proving the Dao to venture forth immediately.

However, they also knew that although the Path of Proving the Dao had been opened, it was not easy to truly pass through it.

Previously, they had already tried every Trial Secret Realm in the first half of the Path of Proving the Dao, and felt that they were full of crises and challenges, requiring them to put in effort and wisdom to successfully pass through.

Not to mention, they had to go all the way from the starting point to the end at Buzhou Mountain, which was even more difficult! But wasn't this exactly what they were looking forward to? Only after countless tempering and challenges could they truly grow and become stronger!

With the opening of the Path of Proving the Dao, the Primordial Human Race would surely usher in a brand new era!

A great era of contention where everyone could compete to prove the Dao!......

On Shouyang Mountain, the disciples of the Three Teachings could not perceive the changes in the entire Great Desolation, nor did they know what the matter Lu Yun announced truly meant.

Suddenly, they all looked up at the sky, their faces showing expressions of disbelief. They saw that in the sky, large patches of Merit Golden Clouds were gathering, the golden light was brilliant, and there were a thousand rays of auspicious energy, as if the entire sky had been set off into a golden ocean.

"This is... Merit Golden Cloud?!"

"Could all this merit be a reward from the Heavenly Dao for Lu Yun!"

"Hiss! The Merit Golden Cloud is still expanding; isn't this too much!"

"Such a massive Merit Golden Cloud—even when our Masters and Martial Uncles joined together to preach the Dao before, it was nothing more than this, right?"

The disciples of the Three Teachings discussed it heatedly, their hearts filled with shock and envy.

They naturally knew that the Merit Golden Cloud represented a reward from the Heavenly Dao, something countless cultivators dreamed of.

However, just as they were discussing it, that massive Merit Golden Cloud suddenly began to descend slowly, its target pointed straight at Lu Yun below! "It really is aimed at Lu Yun!"

The disciples of the Three Teachings looked at Lu Yun's figure, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

As the Merit Golden Light slowly descended, most of the golden light landed on Lu Yun, making his figure appear even more sacred and solemn.

A portion of the Merit Golden Light dispersed, heading toward the cities along the first half of the Human Path of Proving the Dao.

That was a reward for those who helped build the various Secret Realms! Seeing this scene, the envy in the hearts of the Three Teachings' disciples grew even stronger.

They knew that those Human Race disciples and cultivators who received the merit reward would surely have a much broader path of cultivation in the future.

However, what shocked the disciples of the Three Teachings even more was that some Merit Golden Light was actually falling toward them!

Duobao Daoren, Guangchengzi, and the others were all stunned; they looked at the Merit Golden Light falling toward them, their hearts filled with doubt and confusion.

"We... we actually received a merit reward too?!"

"What is going on? Why did we also receive merit?"

They never expected that they, too, would receive a reward from the Heavenly Dao.

But soon, they figured out the key to it.

Clearly, it was because they had also built quite a few Human Race Trial Lands near Shouyang Mountain!

Now that these Trial Lands had been incorporated by Lu Yun into the Human Path of Proving the Dao, they, as the builders, naturally received a reward from the Heavenly Dao.

Although this Merit Golden Light was much less than what Lu Yun had received, for them, it was still a rare opportunity.

However, at this moment, Guangchengzi and the others did not feel much joy.

Looking at Lu Yun's figure shrouded in Merit Golden Light, a complex emotion welled up in their hearts.

Receiving merit was originally a good thing, but because they had received it only after being schemed against by Lu Yun, they naturally couldn't feel happy; one could even say they felt a mix of emotions.

Most of the disciples of the Three Teachings received merit, only Xandu Great Master of the Ren Sect did not receive this portion of merit.

Because over these past ten years, he had been dedicated to preaching the Great Dao to the Human Race and had not participated in any construction activities related to the Trial Secret Realms, so naturally, he had no share when the Heavenly Dao bestowed merit this time.

But as Xandu looked at Lu Yun and those fellow disciples who had received merit, a gratified smile appeared on his face.

Compared to the matter of receiving merit, he cared more about the implications behind the Heavenly Dao bestowing Heavenly Dao Merit.

Without a doubt, this Human Path of Proving the Dao of Lu Yun's was profoundly influential and of immense help to the Human Race, which was why such a large amount of merit had descended.

This meant that the Human Race would soon accelerate its strengthening because of the Path of Proving the Dao! Wasn't this what he hoped to see? Thinking of this, Xandu couldn't help but look at Lu Yun, who had brought all this about.

Just at this moment, he unexpectedly discovered that Lu Yun was not putting away the merit he had just received, but was instead manifesting the many Heavenly Dao merits he had obtained previously, shrouding his entire body in them.

Xandu couldn't help but feel puzzled: What is he doing? The Heavenly Court.

The Wu Clan and the Demon Race were originally engaged in fierce combat.

However, after the voice of Lu Yun's announcement reached their ears, it caused the original great battle to temporarily subside.

Because whether it was the Wu Clan or the Demon Race, their attention had been completely drawn away by Lu Yun.

Upon seeing Lu Yun open the Human Path of Proving the Dao and feeling the surge in Human Race Luck, the reactions of the Wu Clan and the Demon Race were completely different.

On the side of the Ancestral Witches, Dijiang, Jumang, and the other Ancestral Witches all wore expressions of shock.

"This Lu Yun... actually thought of such a brilliant plan!"

Jumang couldn't help but exclaim, "This Human Path of Proving the Dao he has opened will likely become an important opportunity for the rise of the Primordial Human Race!"

Dijiang also nodded and said, "Indeed, once this Human Path of Proving the Dao is opened, the cultivation speed of the Primordial Human Race will surely increase greatly, and more powerhouses will likely emerge in the future."

Zhurong chuckled and said, "The end of his Human Path of Proving the Dao is still Buzhou Divine Mountain; isn't it obvious that he intends to revere the Father God just like our Wu Clan?"

Gonggong rarely agreed with Zhurong, saying, "This Lu Yun, it was not in vain that we let him enter Pangu Hall!"

The other Ancestral Witches also nodded one after another, expressing their admiration and praise for Lu Yun's actions.

Unlike the praise from the Wu Clan, the Demon Race side was filled with anger and unwillingness.

Di Jun and Taiyi looked at Lu Yun's figure shrouded in Merit Golden Light, cold glints flashing in their eyes.

They naturally knew how significant this Human Path of Proving the Dao was for the Primordial Human Race, and they also knew what a huge impact it would have on the Human Race's Luck once this Path of Proving the Dao was opened.

And for their Demon Race, this was definitely not a good thing! "This Lu Yun is truly a great threat to my Demon Race!"

Taiyi said through gritted teeth, "Every time he wants to stir up trouble, he has to step on our Demon Race; is he really going against us?!"

Di Jun was calmer.

He looked at the Merit Golden Light shrouding Lu Yun's body, his brows furrowed tightly, and a strong sense of unease suddenly welled up in his heart.

"The situation is not right."

Di Jun suddenly said in a deep voice, "Could this Lu Yun be wanting to use this merit to Proving the Dao and Becoming a Saint!"

What?!

Taiyi and the other high-ranking members of the Demon Race were terrified upon hearing this, expressions of disbelief appearing on their faces.
