Chapter 261: Zhenyuanzi's Opportunity to Prove the Dao

Others nearby, hearing the conversation between Lu Yun and Zhenyuanzi, were mostly wearing expressions of bewilderment.

Hongyun couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, what have you understood?"

Zhenyuanzi merely smiled slightly and said, "You will understand in a moment!"

Hongyun couldn't help but scratch his head; he hadn't expected Zhenyuanzi to keep even him in suspense.

The others were also filled with curiosity, all feeling as if Zhenyuanzi had experienced a sudden enlightenment regarding something extraordinary.

At the same time, the newcomers in the Transmigration Chat Group within Lu Yun's livestream were even more excited than the crowd in the Great Desolation.

Because, just before Lu Yun spoke to guide Zhenyuanzi, the newcomers had witnessed the veteran group members discussing with great interest exactly how Lu Yun should resolve this matter.

At first, they hadn't paid much attention, thinking everyone was just talking casually; they assumed that a powerful existence like Lu Yun wouldn't care about what they said.

But who would have thought that a big shot in the group named "Qin Ling" had just suggested that Lu Yun guide Zhenyuanzi to create the "Earth Immortal Dao," which would not only allow the Humanity faction to reclaim a portion of their fortune but also enable Zhenyuanzi to prove the Dao and become a Saint, and further perfect Humanity! As it turned out, Lu Yun, this top-tier big shot in their eyes, actually did exactly as the group members suggested, and truly guided Zhenyuanzi to enlightenment!

"No way! Big shot Lu Yun is actually that willing to listen to advice!"

"I thought the big shots in the group were just joking earlier!"

"My god! Could it be that the rumors about Big shot Lu Yun becoming so strong because he follows advice are also true?"

"The key isn't just listening to advice, but that even though it was just a casual remark in the group, Big shot Lu Yun could actually make it happen directly!"

"This ability, this execution! I honestly don't even know what to say!"

Watching the newcomers clamoring, Lu Yun couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He was actually very fortunate in his heart that he had just happened to glance at the group and caught the suggestion "Qin Ling" had proposed to him.

Then, he completed it on a whim and directly obtained a Rare Treasure Chest! One must know that for him now, even a Rare Treasure Chest is not so easy to obtain!

Not to mention, Qin Ling's suggestion was indeed excellent and helped him solve the problem at hand!

So, after receiving the system reward, Lu Yun directly posted a thank-you message in the livestream.

Lu Yun: "Many thanks to Big shot Qin Ling for the suggestion! I am deeply grateful!"

Qin Ling: "Haha, I was just speaking casually; being able to guide Zhenyuanzi to enlightenment is ultimately your own merit!"

The others naturally began to heap praise upon Qin Ling and Lu Yun one after another.

The so-called Earth Immortal Dao is, in fact, a path of cultivation that aligns one's own Dao techniques with heaven and earth to open up a Cave Heaven Blessed Land! It is somewhat similar to a Saint opening a Dao Field, but the threshold is significantly lower than that of a Saint!

Because the Earth Immortal Dao only requires one to be a Great Luo Golden Immortal to practice! Perhaps the Cave Heaven Blessed Land that each Great Luo Golden Immortal can open is less than one-thousandth of a Saint's Dao Field, but the countless Great Luo Golden Immortals in the Great Desolation can open countless Cave Heaven Blessed Lands; their combined influence on the Primordial World directly exceeds that of a single Saint's Dao Field! And the greatest benefit for a Great Luo Golden Immortal practicing the Earth Immortal Dao is that they can obtain the opportunity to break through to become a Quasi-Saint even without slaying the Three Corpses.

After all, the Way of Slaying Three Corpses requires a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, but where are there so many Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasures in the Great Desolation?

As the creator of this cultivation method, Zhenyuanzi will naturally obtain monstrous merit; not only the Heavenly Dao, but even Humanity and the Earthly Dao will have to provide merit rewards, through which he can fully prove the Dao and become a Saint!

It can be said that with just a few words, Lu Yun pointed out the gate of Proving the Dao for Zhenyuanzi!

This is exactly why Zhenyuanzi was so excited just now!

Of course, even without Lu Yun's guidance, Zhenyuanzi would surely have been able to comprehend it himself after watching the various Saints open their Dao Fields this time.

It is just that one would not know how many years that would have taken.

Moreover, if not for the existence of Lu Yun, with Humanity and the Earthly Dao not manifest, even if Zhenyuanzi had comprehended the Earth Immortal Dao, the merit reward given solely by the Heavenly Dao would not have been enough to allow him to become a Saint.

Now, because of Lu Yun, Humanity and the Earthly Dao are on par with the Heavenly Dao, and the rewards given jointly by the Three Realms are more than enough for him to prove the Dao! Therefore, Lu Yun naturally deserves Zhenyuanzi's gratitude.

As for why Zhenyuanzi did not say it directly, firstly, it is because he is still repeatedly thinking about and perfecting his understanding of the Earth Immortal Dao, and secondly, the most suitable time to announce it has not yet arrived! Zhenyuanzi and Lu Yun exchanged a look; although they did not speak, they both understood that the most suitable time would be after all the other Saints had finished opening their Dao Fields! On the other side, Hongjun had actually been silently observing the movements on Lu Yun's side.

He naturally heard the conversation between Lu Yun and Zhenyuanzi, and he suddenly became a bit nervous.

What exactly did Zhenyuanzi comprehend? He felt an inexplicable sense of unease, as if there were going to be variables in this plan again! But now that things had progressed to this point, he seemed to have no way to deal with it and could only continue to wait and see.

Under Hongjun's urging, the Western Two Sages chose a new location and began to open the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss once again.

This time, they clearly learned from their previous mistakes and proceeded with every step more cautiously and meticulously.

With the surge of their magic power, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss slowly took shape in the Chaos once more.

This time, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss lacked the soul-bewitching aura from before; instead, it appeared pure and peaceful, as if it had truly become a sacred place of cultivation that all living beings yearned for.

"It seems they really put their hearts into it this time."

Lu Yun said indifferently, his gaze flashing with appreciation, and added: "It was not in vain that I gave them pointers just now!"

His voice clearly reached the ears of everyone in the Heavenly Dao Faction, causing many of their expressions to become rather strange for a moment.

Especially Jieyin and Zhunti, who were so angry they almost vomited blood.

Does this mean they still have to thank Lu Yun for shattering the Dao Field they opened earlier?

But even though they felt extremely uncomfortable inside, they dared not have any objections toward Lu Yun and could only pretend they hadn't heard.

By this time, all the Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction had also completed the opening of their Dao Fields.

However, the matter did not end there.

"It is my turn!"

Nuwa's voice suddenly resounded in everyone's ears.

Seeing the Heavenly Dao Saints showing off their skills one by one, she, as a Human Dao Saint, naturally had to win glory for the Human Dao Faction.

She took a deep breath, and with a movement of her figure, she flew toward the southern part of the Primordial Land that was still vacant.

The next moment—

"Today, I, Nuwa, shall use the Humanity Power to open the Wa Emperor Heaven, providing a pure place of cultivation for all living beings of the Great Desolation." Nuwa's voice was loud and solemn, echoing across the Primordial Land.

As her words fell, the vast magic power surged around her, and the Creation Power evolved into boundless rosy clouds, directly refining a large area of chaotic matter, and the Wa Emperor Heaven slowly emerged above the southern sky.

Looking out, within the Wa Emperor Heaven, the mountains and rivers were beautiful and the spiritual energy was dense, as if it were a miniature version of the Great Desolation. Once the Wa Emperor Heaven was opened, even though it did not belong to the Heavenly Dao Faction, the Heavenly Dao, out of its principles of justice and fairness, also bestowed vast merit, which descended upon Nuwa.

Seeing this scene, everyone was amazed by Nuwa's strength and methods.

"The Wa Emperor Heaven is actually so beautiful and magnificent!"

"Indeed, it seems Saint Nuwa really went all out this time!"

"Look, everyone, the scale of the Wa Emperor Heaven is not inferior to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!"

"The Dao Field opened by Saint Nuwa alone is not at all inferior to the one opened by the Western Two Sages together!"

"Doesn't this mean that Saint Nuwa's current strength is even greater than the Western Two Sages combined?"

Waves of discussion rose and fell one after another.

The expressions of Jieyin and Zhunti could not help but stiffen.

However, they did not speak out to refute.

Because they also discovered that after Nuwa became a Human Dao Saint, her strength was actually a bit stronger than when she was a Heavenly Dao Saint! Just as everyone was still marveling, Houtu also stood out.

"My Wu Clan are the descendants of Pangu, so we naturally should have our own dojo!" Houtu's voice was resonant and powerful, filled with determination.

Subsequently, she and the other Ancestral Witches headed together toward the back of the Primordial Land.

This place was beneath the Nine Serenities, also connecting to a region of Chaos.

Under the collective gaze of the many powerhouses of the Great Desolation, Houtu mobilized the power of the Earthly Dao, and Dijiang and the other Ancestral Witches also surged with magic power; a vast world slowly unfolded beneath the Nine Serenities.

After the world took shape, Houtu declared: "From now on, this realm shall be named the Witch World!"

This was a world completely controlled by the Wu Clan, filled with the mystery and power unique to the Wu Clan.

The many members of the Wu Clan originally in the Netherworld all became excited at once, one after another following the pull of the Witch World to go and settle within it.

From now on, the Wu Clan would be divided into two parts; the majority would live in the Witch World, and a small portion would obtain divine offices in the Underworld, only entering the Underworld to serve after doing so!

After the Witch World was opened, the Heavenly Dao also bestowed a massive amount of merit, more than any time before! The various powerhouses of the Great Desolation were envious while observing the Witch World, and soon, one after another, they were clicking their tongues in wonder.

Because the scale of this Witch World actually exceeded the sum of the Three Pure Ones' dojos.

Watching this scene, Yuanshi's expression turned somewhat dark.

Because he felt that this was clearly the Ancestral Witches telling him that even if the Ancestral Witches did not attach themselves to the Heavenly Dao, they were still stronger than the Three Pure Ones! Yet he had nothing to say!

What made Yuanshi even more furious was that after Houtu and these Ancestral Witches did such a thing and slapped the faces of the Three Pure Ones, they didn't even look at them, instead turning their gazes toward Zhenyuanzi!

Originally, he thought these Ancestral Witches were deliberately humiliating them, but unexpectedly, Zhenyuanzi flew out from the Human Dao Faction with a smile at this moment.

Zhenyuanzi declared loudly, his voice echoing between the heavens and earth of the Great Desolation: "I, Zhenyuanzi, have contemplated the profound mysteries of the various Saints opening their dojos and have gained much, creating a new method of cultivation called the Earth Immortal Dao. This method uses one's own Daoist arts to harmonize with heaven and earth, opening up a path of cultivation for Blessed Land and Cave Heaven, suitable for those with the cultivation of Great Luo Golden Immortal and above. Today, I take this opportunity to sincerely invite all fellow Daoists to Wanshou Mountain to contemplate this Dao together!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar.

They never expected that Zhenyuanzi would announce the preaching of the Dao at this time, and it sounded as if this Earth Immortal Dao was quite profound.

For a time, powerhouses from both the Human Dao and Earthly Faction became interested, wanting to head to Wanshou Mountain to investigate.

Seeing this, Zhenyuanzi felt a joy in his heart.

He knew that this preaching was not only a major breakthrough for himself but also an opportunity for the Human Dao and Earthly Faction to demonstrate their strength in the Primordial World.

Thus, he did not delay; his figure moved, turning into a stream of light as he flew toward the direction of Wanshou Mountain on the Primordial Land.

Seeing this, the crowd also followed closely behind, preparing to head to Wanshou Mountain to contemplate this mysterious Earth Immortal Dao together.

On the way to Wanshou Mountain, the crowd discussed spiritedly, filled with curiosity and anticipation for the Earth Immortal Dao.

Especially those Great Luo Golden Immortals; they all inexplicably felt that this was not just a simple preaching, but a major opportunity that might change their future path of cultivation.

The various Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction, however, could not help but look at Hongjun.

They were also very interested in the Earth Immortal Dao that Zhenyuanzi spoke of, but whether they could go to listen to the preaching had to be approved by Hongjun.

Hongjun sighed dejectedly, knowing that his schemes this time were likely once again making wedding clothes for Humanity!

However, he did not stop the people of the Heavenly Dao Faction, instead waving his hand at them and saying: "You may go!"

The various Saints of the Heavenly Dao Faction then signaled to their disciples that they could go.

As for themselves, they would just observe from afar; they did not intend to go in person.

Wanshou Mountain.

Zhenyuanzi and a group of Human Dao and Earthly Faction powerhouses arrived here first.

Hongyun immediately said: "Fellow Daoist Zhenyuan, you should think about the matters of preaching; I will help you finish entertaining everyone!"

Zhenyuanzi did not object.

After all, this fellow Hongyun had been treating his Wuzhuang Temple like his own home, and everyone in the temple was familiar with him, so there was no problem at all in letting him handle the arrangements.

Thus, Zhenyuanzi apologized to Lu Yun and the others, then sat cross-legged directly above Wuzhuang Temple, the Earth Book above his head, quickly organizing his thoughts for the lecture.

Lu Yun and the others were also very casual; under Hongyun's arrangement, they just found a place to sit within Wuzhuang Temple.

The many disciples of the entire Wuzhuang Temple also busied themselves under Hongyun's urging.

Especially after hearing Hongyun suggest that Zhenyuanzi might be about to prove the Dao and become a Saint, they became even more excited, tirelessly and quickly deploying the preaching venue.

Before long, the many powerhouses of the Great Desolation who had returned from outside the Thirty-Three Heavens arrived at Wanshou Mountain one after another.

Under the arrangements of the Wuzhuang Temple disciples, they took their seats in an orderly fashion throughout Wanshou Mountain! The entire Wanshou Mountain was unprecedentedly lively, with ten thousand immortals coming to pay homage! Such a scene made the disciples under Zhenyuanzi, such as Qingfeng and Mingyue, feel their blood boiling.

When everyone had almost arrived, Zhenyuanzi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, finally opened them, a brilliant light shining in his eyes as he directly began to demonstrate how to open up a Blessed Land and Cave Heaven! (End of chapter)
