Chapter 159: Wuji's Three Lectures, Sanqing Obtains Treasure
Wuji nodded in satisfaction after seeing Di Qing and Xi Kun choose the path of Emperor. One person can perfect the great way of Hongmeng purple energy, although it can gain infinite merit, but it is not enough to become a saint. If so, I'm afraid that Wuji realm will produce three thousand saints, and the spiritual energy of Wuji realm is not enough to bear.
It must have infinite merits in itself, and it can only be added with this. However, those who originally had great merits in the universe of nothingness were the descendants of the Wuji Holy Ones, among whom the Three Purities were the most superior, followed by the Nine Great Ancestors. Even the legacy of the two Wuji Holy Ones, Emperor Qian and Xi Kun, plus their infinite merits in helping Tian Di to perfect the laws of evolution, were not enough to achieve the fruit of the Tian Di Saint's path.
On the contrary, choosing the path of the Emperor has its own set of difficulties and takes a longer time. However, it is more stable and secure, and in governing the world, one can accumulate immense merits and blessings. When the time comes, with these accumulated merits added to their mastery of the Emperor's Way, they will gain recognition from all under heaven and become saints on the spot.
Wuji looked at the expectant expressions of the people below and said, "Those who have a predestined relationship with Hongmeng Purple Qi will know." After Wuji finished speaking, he directly threw two strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi into the void in front of him, disappearing without a trace. The crowd could only sigh, knowing that they had no affinity with the treasure.
"Dao Zun, can the Hongmeng Purple Qi be counted? Can the sacred positions be counted?" Wuji Dao replied: "The Hongmeng Purple Qi corresponds to the 3,000 Great Dao Laws, so it is said that there are 3,000 numbers. They are scattered throughout the boundless world, and those who have affinity can obtain them. However, since heaven and earth are limited, the sacred positions are also limited. Currently, in the boundless world, there are only six sacred positions of respect. Nevertheless, below the saints, there are 3,000 positions of the 'Zhì Rén' ( Utmost/ Supreme Person), who possess a realm similar to that of the saints or hold a position similar to that of the saints but lack matching actual power."
The Monkey King asked with a face full of expectation: "Dao Zun, I don't know if it's possible to become a saint without the Hongmeng Purple Qi?" Wuji Dao said: "It is possible to become a saint. When your deduced Great Dao principles are recognized by the boundless world, you can be like Emperor Qing and Xi Kun, who have obtained the recognition of the Heavenly Dao and achieved the position of a supreme being. After accumulating countless merits, you can become a saint."
Hong Xuan Daoren opened his mouth again and said, "Dao Zun, I don't know if there are other ways to attain enlightenment besides understanding the laws of the universe?" Wuji said, "Yes, just like the original Wuji Shengzun, one can use power to prove the way, break through the heavenly path, and entrust their true spirit in the heavenly path. However, this method is too difficult, without boundless eons of law power, it's impossible to succeed, and one must also bear the test of the heavenly path. If successful, they will become a saint under the heavenly path, but if failed, they will turn into dust."
Wuji said that the time for this sermon was almost up, and he told the crowd: "This sermon is over, and it will be reopened in 100,000 years." After Wuji finished speaking, he directly moved the people under the ground to the world of Wuji, including his own fourteen disciples.
Wuji returned to the backyard of Wenda Palace and began to sort out what he had gained from his lectures. Although Wuji lectured for everyone, he himself was not without gain. Wuji reorganized his own Tao through this process and made some progress.
After Wújí organized his gains, he prepared to start refining equipment and making preparations for the future division of treasures. Wújí extracted a strand of the original essence from the Jiānxiàn Sìjiàn (Exterminating Immortals Four Swords) in the Wújí realm and merged it with countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, as well as the residual evil energy left over from the opening of the heavens. He infused his understanding of the sword energy of each of the Exterminating Immortals Four Swords into them. After a hundred thousand years, Wújí finally successfully refined these four top-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasures. Afterwards, Wújí spent five thousand years creating a diagram of the Exterminating Immortals Sword Array. The Exterminating Immortals Four Swords, combined with the array diagram, formed an Exterminating Immortals Sword Array that was no less powerful than a pre-heavenly ultimate treasure, and could not be broken by anyone other than the Four Sages.
Wuji then re-condensed the Five Elements Pearl, Four Symbols Pearl, Hetu, Luoshu and other pre-heavenly spiritual treasures that had already merged into the Wuji realm. Wuji thought to himself that he still had many disciples, but he didn't want to give away all of his pre-heavenly treasures, so he couldn't help but think of a way. Wuji spent countless years collecting materials and refining them into nine flagpoles, known as the Zu Wu Flag. The nine great ancestors can set up the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Array, summoning Wuji's true body.
Time passed quickly, and the 100,000 years of time had passed in Wuji's cultivation and alchemy. On this day, a sudden voice came from the busy Wujie: "One year later, Sanjiang Temple will have three lectures, those who are destined can come to listen."
The old powerful ones in the Wuji realm immediately set off towards the Wenda Palace without stopping, after all they knew that only the first three thousand can enter the Wenda Palace, and there is no such opportunity for those who come later. There are also some young people who are asking what the Wenda Palace is, and they slowly head towards the Wenda Palace.
No matter how the creatures of the world of nothingness treated the emergence of Wenda Palace, the mortal rules of Wenda Palace did not change. After welcoming 3,000 listeners, Wenda Palace closed the road to the Chaos that connected the Nothingness Heaven and Earth, leaving those who were rushing to catch up with a sigh, lamenting their bad luck.
Facing some inquiring juniors, there was no mood to explain, and they left directly. There were also some people who told their juniors about the relevant matters of the palace, and it spread quickly. Countless powerful people realized that they had missed a great opportunity.
Wuji suddenly appeared on his own seat, Wuji said: "This time I will lecture for three thousand years, it is the last lecture of the three lectures in Wenda Palace. After that, I will merge with the Heavenly Tao and Wenda Palace will retreat to the chaos. Under the Heavenly Tao, the overall situation will not change and Wuji will not appear again. I hope you all take care of yourselves."
Wuji then began to talk about the Great Way, but this time it was different from last time. This time he talked about the Hunyuan Great Way, not only explaining the cultivation method of the Fa Zhen realm, but also explaining the cultivation method of the Hunyuan Saint. However, these were really too profound. Although the cultivation method of the Fa Zhen realm was difficult to understand, those present were at least at the level of Daluo Jinxian, and they could more or less understand some of it.
However, only the fourteen disciples of the Hunyuan Saint and the Hongyuan Taoist, Xue Sha Taoist, Qingtian Taoist, Mitian Taoist, and Yuetian Zunzhe understood about 30-40%. The rest were almost all put to sleep by the hypnotic power of Wuji's great Dao sound. They just desperately absorbed the green lotus flowers that fell from Wuji's lectures, increasing their magical powers.
On this day, Wuji stopped his lecture. The crowd below also woke up on the vast avenue. Wuji said: "After this lecture, I will merge with the Heavenly Way. Some of the treasures I collected earlier are no longer useful. Today you can come, it's also a fate. Xuanqing, come forward."
Xuan Qing Daoist listened to the Way of No Extremes dividing treasures, his face was expressionless, but everyone could still sense Xuan Qing Daoist's excitement. Xuan Qing Daoist stepped forward and bowed: "Disciple is here." Wuji Dao: "Xuan Qing, you are my eldest disciple, today I bestow upon you the pre-heavenly supreme treasure, the Yin-Yang diagram, its wonderful uses will be understood through self-refining."
Xuan Qing Dao Ren excitedly received the Yin Yang diagram and immediately sat down to refine it. The remaining disciples of Wuji saw that their senior brother had obtained the pre-heavenly supreme treasure, and couldn't help but feel very excited. Since their senior brother had obtained the pre-heavenly supreme treasure, theirs wouldn't be any worse either. They looked at Wuji Dao Zun on the high platform with full expectation.
Wuji did not disappoint them, Wuji spoke again: "Gu Qing, Shao Qing come forward, you are my second and third disciples. Gu Qing, your temperament is steady, I grant you the innate treasure Wuji Flag. Shao Qing, your temperament is impulsive, now I grant you the Annihilating Immortal Sword Array, its subtle uses do not fall short of the innate treasure."
Gu Qing Dao Ren and Shao Qing Dao Ren were overjoyed after receiving their respective Fa Bao, and like Xue Zhe Xuan Qing Dao Ren, they began to refine and cultivate.
