Chapter 686: Saint Preaching
When the Eight Desolate Universe was promoted to the Eight Desolate Holy Land, all living beings were immersed in the rhyme of Tao and could not extricate themselves. However, each of them had a different fate. The immortals who focused on virtue naturally realized more, while those who were plagued by disasters had their luck damaged, and they did not realize much, and they were also inexplicably irritable.
There are also immortals who are not prepared and are suddenly caught up in the rhythm of Tao. They are at a loss at the beginning and waste a lot of time. By the time they concentrate on understanding, they have lost the opportunity. So everything is fate. If there is no fate, you can't grasp it even if it is delivered to your doorstep.
When the Dao rhyme swept across the Eight Desolate Holy Land, the Heavenly Dao clone was the first to change. He first manifested in human form, and eventually disappeared. Then the Heavenly Dao web began to change. The Heavenly Dao webs of planets or the universe were all integrated into the Heavenly Dao web of the Eight Desolate Holy Land. There was no difference anymore.
Not only that, those established star fields became more coordinated in the rhythm of Tao, and the planets continued to become perfect, whether in terms of distance or space, everything was in line with Tao. The entire Eight Desolate Holy Land suddenly became more reasonable and even more beautiful.
Chen Jingzhai woke up from his enlightenment, a golden line condensed between his eyebrows, and the heart of the world's original laws merged into his body. The magic stone in his body automatically melted away. Until this moment, the magic stone belonged to him completely. He could even see the scene of the magic stone flying out from the endless chaos.
"Within a thought, the universe collapsed and the way of heaven collapsed," Chen Jingzhai said with emotion, "Endless years flowed, space changed, I became a saint, immortal, and eternal. The multiverse was the most correct step to take. Without the help of the multiverse, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so smooth this time."
Looking back at his previous choices and many results, what Chen Jingzhai is most grateful for is using the magic stone to open up the world and the multiverse. He did not think of taking shortcuts but took steady steps. Only in this way can we have the current Eight Desolate Holy Land.
The most important thing is that with the multiverse, Chen Jingzhai can condense the heart of the origin of the world at an incredibly fast speed. You reap what you sow. It has to be said that his past performance was very impressive. Now that Chen Jingzhai has become a saint, he also feels a little regretful, but he is more happy.
Time seemed like a thousand years had passed, and also like just a moment. As more and more immortals woke up, the Dao rhyme of the Eight Desolate Universe's advancement to the Eight Desolate Holy Land dissipated. After waking up, many immortals were either ecstatic or full of complaints, because some of them gained benefits, while others were all scammed and gained very little.
To the disappointment of the Golden Immortals, there was no movement after Chen Jingzhai was promoted to a saint. Apart from not being able to see through Chen Jingzhai who suddenly appeared, their gains were actually pitifully small. However, among the Taiyi Golden Immortals, some people were promoted to Daluo, such as Emperor Tiange, Emperor Yanxun, Jiang Lin, Kong Guang, Wang Yao and others.
Stimulated by the rhyme of Tao, these people broke free from the constraints of time and peeked into the long river of fate. Eventually, the fish in the river jumped onto the bank and were no longer bound by time and fate. Their Tao fruits were complete and they began to come into contact with the laws. It can be said that they reached heaven in one step.
Chen Jingzhai didn't care about their performance at all. The clone of Heavenly Dao returned to himself. His thoughts controlled Heavenly Dao and he silently experienced the changes in the Eight Desolate Holy Land. What was certain was that Heavenly Dao was him, the Great Dao was him and the Lord of the Universe was also him. However, he was not Heavenly Dao, nor the Great Dao in the traditional sense, but the Lord of the Universe.
This identity cannot be denied and is recognized by Chen Jingzhai himself.
Ding ding ding!
The Nine Dragons Immortal Bell was struck, and the sound was continuous, rising and falling. The rhyme of Tao also completely disappeared at this moment. The entire Eight Desolate Holy Land completed its transformation. All the immortals woke up as if from a dream. The immortal officials heard the bell for the first time and rushed to the heaven, not daring to be negligent.
The immortal officials were gathering towards the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Queen and the Immortal Concubines were all awake and smiling. Because of the blessing of the Heavenly Court's luck, they all gained great benefits. Chu Wuxia was successfully promoted to the Golden Immortal of Daluo, and Li Yueli was also successfully promoted. Only Immortal Mei and Pei Dong'er were still one step away.
It was normal for Mei Xianren to be one step away. As a reincarnated immortal, although she made rapid progress, she still had defects in her Tao Fruit. Pei Dong'er had a spiritual problem. She did not take the first step bravely, which led to her not seizing the opportunity at the critical moment.
However, the two women did not care too much. After all, the Emperor had come out of seclusion and successfully promoted to a saint. This was the biggest happy event. With the support of a man, they did not care whether they could break through or not. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, and becoming a Golden Immortal was nothing.
After Chen Jingzhai came out of retreat, he came to the imperial garden. All the women gathered here, mainly the celestial concubines. The immortal concubines were not fully prepared yet, and some who had made a breakthrough and some who had not, all needed some time. The celestial concubines were not so troublesome. They simply answered Chen Jingzhai and they immediately swarmed over.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for achieving sainthood." The Emperor and Empress took the lead in congratulating, and the women all spoke up, their faces filled with joy.
Chen Jingzhai laughed and stretched out his arms to hug the nearest emperor, empress and Immortal Master Mo Hen, and brought them to the pavilion. The women sat beside him and talked about their own stories. Although he was in seclusion, he knew a lot of things after he took back his Heavenly Dao clone.
It was just that it was so rare to have such a lively occasion, and it was a reunion after 20,000 years, so he naturally would not disturb the girls' interest. However, when the Nine Dragon Fairy Bell rang, he also controlled the time, and waited until most of the immortal officials had arrived before he appeared in the Jade Emperor Palace with the Heavenly Concubines.
After accepting congratulations from a group of immortal officials, Chen Jingzhai officially came out of seclusion and announced that he had successfully been promoted to the saint realm. This meant that the universe had one more saint, and he was promoted from the Lord of the Universe. Not to mention that the Eight Desolate Holy Land was famous, even the Golden Inscription Mother Saint and the Daluotian Saint were alarmed.
Many immortal officials gathered in the Jade Emperor Palace this time, and Chen Jingzhai also happened to hold a court meeting. He briefly talked about the changes in the Eight Desolate Universe's promotion to the Eight Desolate Holy Land. In addition to the star fields and planets becoming more reasonable, the entire Eight Desolate Holy Land will also expand as the number of universes it accommodates increases.
In addition, there is no long river of vitality in the sky. The innate energy will naturally fall down and appear in every star field. There is no need to worry about the vitality problem. The roots of the innate ancient money tree are rooted in the universe, but it can extract and transform the chaotic energy at any time. It can be said that the Eight Desolate Holy Land has a bright future.
Chen Jingzhai was promoted to a saint and appeared in the Jade Emperor's Palace and spoke for half a month before letting everyone leave. He took the celestial concubines and the emperor and empress to the palace for a weekend break. The Heavenly Palace entered a rare period of peace. No one came to disturb the emperor, and the immortal officials also began to retreat.
After 56,000 years of the Eight Desolations, a small court meeting was held.
The newly promoted Daluo Golden Immortals Jiang Lin, Tiange, Yan Xun and others, all sit in the star field alone. Although there are not many Daluo Golden Immortals who seize the opportunity to be promoted this time, the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals is quite large. The number of Luotian Immortal Sect and Luofu Sect has exceeded one hundred, and the other forces have all increased.
According to the latest statistics from Heaven, the number of Taiyi Golden Immortals in the Eight Desolate Holy Land currently exceeds five million, reaching 5,034,951. The number of Golden Immortals is even greater, already exceeding 500 million, and the number of Heavenly Immortals is even greater, exceeding one trillion, and the rest are True Immortals.
At the small court meeting, the Emperor recognized everyone's efforts and the achievements of the Heavenly Court, and rewarded every immortal official. After the small court meeting was completed, Chen Jingzhai also gave a sermon to all the immortal officials for the first time after being promoted to a saint. This time, the sermon was specially allowed to be broadcast live on Skynet.
After the news spread, many immortals entered the Skynet to wait, and discussions were inevitable.
This is a sermon by a saint. In the past, it was rare for the Golden Immortals to give sermons. The main reason was that the Golden Immortals in the Heavenly Court all had their own backgrounds. Even if they wanted to give sermons, they would only give them to their own people. It was impossible for them to give sermons publicly. Moreover, this was the first time that the Emperor gave a sermon after breaking through to become a saint. The opportunity was rare and precious.
All the immortals did not want to miss the opportunity, and the immortals in the universe domain returned to the Eight Desolate Holy Land one after another.
Although Skynet can broadcast the saints’ sermons live, one must come to the Eight Desolate Holy Land. Outside the Eight Desolate Holy Land, it is impossible to enter the live broadcast room of the Emperor’s sermons.
In this way, the Emperor's live broadcast room also created history and broke a new record. Every immortal came in, and the numbers rose rapidly. When the time was up, there was no more discussion among the immortals. They all concentrated and waited, and the Emperor began to preach.
This time, the saint preached about the cultivation from True Immortal to Daluo Golden Immortal. He spoke in great detail and all the immortals had a deep understanding, especially some Golden Immortals. They thought that they came from True Immortals and should know True Immortals very well. But after listening to the sermon, they realized that they only knew the results but not the reasons. They felt ashamed and became more focused.
After breaking it down and crushing it in such detailed explanation, many immortals had realizations, either great progress in their Taoism, or they comprehended supernatural powers, or they comprehended new techniques. There are many wonders, and each one is different. The first hundred years talked about the way of true immortals, the middle hundred years talked about the way of celestial immortals, and the last hundred years talked about the way of golden immortals.
Three hundred years later, only Taiyi and above can listen to the Skynet live broadcast room. The rest of the immortals cannot listen even if they want to. The Golden Immortal is the ultimate immortal, followed by the Dao Fruit Realm and the Law Realm. Taiyi Dao Fruit is the stage of stimulation and ripeness, while Daluo Dao Palace is perfection and touches the law.
The Emperor has been teaching for three hundred years in the Taiyi Realm, explaining the mysteries of many Dao Fruits, and has been teaching for eighty-one years in the Daluo Realm, only talking about how to perfect one's own Dao Fruit. As for touching the laws later, he was just reminding every Daluo Jinxian not to easily touch the laws that are in line with themselves, because it is possible that they only think they are in line with them.
After 56,700 years of the Eight Desolations, the Emperor's preaching ended.
There are countless people on Skynet thanking the Emperor for his preaching, immortals showing off their gains, and discussing with each other. The Arena Star Domain has become lively, with immortals verifying their gains one after another, and some immortals constantly inviting people to fight on the Skynet battle platform.
"With the return of the Emperor, the Eight Desolate Holy Land is full of vitality and vigor." Immortal Hongluan said with a smile while sitting opposite Chen Jingzhai.
"When did the Immortal Venerable learn to speak nicely?" Chen Jingzhai said with a smile, "Or did the Immortal Venerable meet with the Great Master, fulfill his wish, and return to his true self?"
"You are joking, Emperor." Hongluan Immortal Venerable shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than letting go of a little obsession."
"It's good to let it go," Chen Jingzhai nodded slightly, "It's not a bad thing to abandon some things that should be abandoned and forget some things that should be forgotten."
"Please give me some advice, Your Majesty." said the Immortal Master Hongluan.
"The Immortal Venerable broke through to the Golden Immortal through the three paths of heaven, earth and man, but the laws he came into contact with cannot be the three paths," Chen Jingzhai said, "If you don't want to lose yourself, you have to choose one of them. I recommend the law of the heart. This is also my new understanding after my retreat and promotion to the realm of saints."
After saying that, Chen Jingzhai pointed with his finger, and all his insights and entry methods of the Law of the Heart were sent into the mind of the Immortal Master Hongluan. Speaking of it, when they were still cultivators, Chen Jingzhai and some cultivators had cultivated mental strength, but this kind of energy had no power at all, it just released some illusions.
But Chen Jingzhai has come into contact with the laws, and now he has obtained the heart of the world's original laws. He has directly comprehended 50% of the laws of the heart and has a deeper understanding of mental power, even at the origin level. Mental power is only a shallow power in the cultivator period. When you reach the immortal realm, it will disappear if you don't practice it specifically.
The real mental strength will burst forth during the period of being a celestial being, such as the Five Deteriorations of Celestial Beings. Once the mental strength is cultivated successfully, one can avoid disasters and overcome calamities directly with the mental strength. It contains miraculous power that cannot be understood by ordinary celestial beings. Now that Hongluan Immortal Venerable is a Daluo Golden Immortal, he can naturally understand it.
"How is it?" Chen Jingzhai asked with a smile as he watched her open her eyes.
“The mental strength of cultivators, the mental strength of celestial immortals, and the mental strength of Daluo Jinxian all seem to have very high thresholds.” said the Immortal Venerable Hongluan.
"The heart power doesn't have so many twists and turns, there are only five levels." Chen Jingzhai said, "The first level is below the immortal, and it is the easiest to emerge during the cultivator period. This level is called heart movement. The second level is the celestial immortal period, called heart tribulation. The third level is the Taiyi period, called heart source. The fourth level is the saint period, called heart seal, and the fifth level is the heart."
The fifth level of mental strength can be cultivated by mortals and immortals, and the threshold is not high, but it takes a lot of time to get started and continue to master it. Hongluan Immortal Venerable is a Daluo Golden Immortal with good magical powers. The fact that Chen Jingzhai suddenly wanted her to cultivate her mental strength made Hongluan Immortal Venerable hesitate.
"You have perfected the three paths of heaven, earth and man and have been promoted to the Golden Immortal of Daluo. If you want to go further, there are only two ways." Chen Jingzhai said, "You can either take the path of heaven and transform into the heaven of the world and interpret a world of your own, or take the path of sentient transcendence, where the world perishes but I do not, and live in the world inside the firework body."
"Then why does the Emperor want me to take the third path?" asked the Immortal Hongluan.
"Because the third path is the path of the Lord of the World," Chen Jingzhai smiled, "Mind power is the secret of the Lord of the World. As long as you cultivate to the third level, you can open up a world evolved by mind power, invest resources, turn the virtual into the real, and then become the Lord of the World. At that time, you can be emotional or not, it's up to you. You will achieve the Great Dao and will not be constrained by the Heavenly Dao. You are the only one in the entire Heaven who has this qualification. Even the Emperor and Empress do not have this ability."
