Chapter 619: Abandoning Sainthood and Wisdom, the Origin of Dao Fruit
Modern world.
The Jade Book of Creation in the Hongmeng purple air shook slightly, and a point of spiritual light fell from the sky and flew into Hongshan.
"Huh?"
The old man stretched out his hand to catch the spiritual light, and let out a surprised cry, which attracted Tang Lingwu and others to look over curiously.
"Is this news from Zheng Fa?"
Tang Lingwu seemed to understand something and asked anxiously.
Since Zheng Fa left the modern world, they haven't heard from Zheng Fa for some time, so they are naturally worried.
"Yeah." The old man lowered his head and looked at the talisman in his hand with bright eyes, and was very obsessed.
"Grandpa Bai!"
Tang Lingwu said anxiously.
"Oh, this topic of his is quite interesting..." The old man came back to his senses, scratched his head, and murmured, "...very interesting."
"What topic?"
Tang Mudao and the others also came over. The old man handed the talisman in his hand to them. After looking at it, they had different expressions. After a moment, he said, "Is this his true immortal concept?"
"I think so..."
"This is really... really..." Tang Mudao exhaled, looking up at the Fusang tree in the sky, and for a moment he didn't know how to comment on it.
"He asked us to have experts review it, perform calculations and simulations, and correct any errors." The old man glanced at Tang Lingwu and smiled. "Aren't you afraid you can't help him?"
"Um!"
Tang Lingwu nodded vigorously, jumped up, and flew towards the Hetu supercomputer. The ponytail behind her head drew a happy arc in the air.
The rest of the people also went their separate ways and went about their business.
The old man stood in the nursing home and couldn't help but look up at Fusang Mu. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction: "What a big ambition."
…
In the Jiushan Sect, the Emperor of Heaven had already been arranged.
"Senior Sister Zhang, there are some talismans, especially the details of the compound talismans. Please help me deduce and see if there are any mistakes."
"good."
Senior Sister Zhang nodded.
"Fairy Xiao." The Emperor turned again and looked at Xiao Yuying. "I would like to ask you to review this article on historical development."
Xiao Yuying's eyes were shining with intelligence, and her head was buried in Tongjian, as if she had already been immersed in it.
"Fairy Xiao?"
She looked up blankly, her expression somewhat dissatisfied: "What?"
"Please help review the content of this chapter on historical development."
Xiao Yuying held it in for a long time, then parted her lips slightly and blurted out something very unconfident: "Me? Review?"
"?"
“Is this something I can review?”
“…”
Lu Yao's voice came again.
"The decline of spiritual energy stems from the proliferation of Taoist traditions. Ordinary people each learn their own methods, each with their own thoughts, gradually creating chaos, and the cycle repeats itself."
In the light curtain, Lu Yao didn't seem to care about what Zheng Fa was comprehending, and continued to speak of his own thoughts: "Therefore, I want to establish laws and regulations, determine the fruit position, and distinguish between immortals and mortals."
The Heavenly Palace fell silent. Except for Senior Sister Zhang and a few others who were immersed in studying their papers, everyone else's attention couldn't help but be attracted to Lu Yao again.
The Peacock Emperor stood up from within the light curtain, bowed, and asked, "Excuse me, what is the meaning of the fixed fruit position?"
"Currently, across the myriad realms of the heavens and the myriad worlds, there are three Taiyi cultivators, twenty-four Golden Immortals (including me), forty-three True Immortals, and one hundred and thirty-five Loose Immortals. That adds up to two hundred and five Dao Fruit cultivators." Lu Yao counted the number of Dao Fruit cultivators in the universe and said, "I believe that in order to prevent the decline of spiritual energy, the number of Dao Fruit cultivators should not increase any further. In fact, it should be reduced."
"It's better to have less than more?" Xuan Chengzi seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a little alert. "You mean, to clean up another batch of Dao Fruits?"
Lu Yao smiled and didn't answer.
But everyone in the main hall felt a chill in their hearts.
In the Nine Mountains Realm, Uncle Pang couldn't help but curse, "If this isn't a threat, what is? Can the Supreme Dao just sit back and watch this happen?"
Everyone can hear that Lu Yao wants to exclude dissidents, and the subtext is even that Shunchang will perish - the problem is, how can Taishangdao agree to that?
Now that Taiyi is no longer in the mysterious world, the highest combat power in the world is the Golden Immortal.
According to Lu Yao, there are only twenty-four Golden Immortals.
The Five Buddhas of Leiyin Temple occupied five positions, Yaochi and the jellyfish took up another five, plus the Three Immortals of the Hidden World and two people from the demon clan, a total of fifteen people went.
Adding the Nine Sons of the Supreme Lord, there are exactly twenty-four.
At this Leiyin Dharma Assembly, all the Golden Immortal forces in the world were present.
In other words, Taishang Dao is the force with the largest number of Golden Immortals in all the heavens and worlds.
Among the twenty-four people, the Supreme Taoist and the three hidden immortals account for exactly half, and their power is extremely great.
With Lu Yao having such ambitious ambitions, it is impossible for Tai Shang Dao not to respond.
As expected, Xuan Chengzi frowned and said coldly, "Who do you want to clean up?"
"That depends on the Golden Immortals present here."
"Look at us?"
"I intend to establish a nine-rank immortal system, with the Golden Immortal as the first rank, the Immortals divided into four ranks, and the Ordinary Immortals divided into five ranks. Whoever can occupy the fruit position must be discussed, nominated, and evaluated by the First Rank Golden Immortal. This is what is called determining the fruit position."
"This... we decide who will become immortal?" Xuan Chengzi was stunned. "Are you serious?"
"nature."
Xuan Chengzi fell into deep thought.
"The Supreme Dao is tempted!" Uncle Pang said nervously, "They have more people and are confident they can gain some advantage in the Golden Immortals' discussions."
The Heavenly Emperor nodded slowly and said, "Lu Yao has not achieved Daluo, so he can only give in. But what he wants to do must be more than this."
In Leiyin Temple, Xuan Chengzi asked again, "What is the distinction between immortals and mortals?"
"Nine mountains rise up, holding the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation. Mortals can kill Golden Immortals." Lu Yao added, "This will confuse the hierarchy and bring disaster to the profound."
"fart!"
The old man couldn't help but curse.
"Mortals are inherently ignorant, and this has given rise to delusions. They don't respect the Dao, don't believe in gods and Buddhas, and this has disturbed the tranquility of the heavens." Lu Yao, of course, couldn't hear, and continued, "If this continues for a long time, the world will inevitably be in chaos, and the legal system will naturally be even more chaotic."
Xuan Chengzi glanced at Zheng Fa who was still practicing, and there was some fear on his face.
"Therefore, I believe that the Dharma should not be passed on lightly in the future... or even cut off from the cultivation methods of the mortal world."
Xuan Chengzi narrowed his eyes and asked, "To make it impossible for all the ordinary people in the heavens and myriad worlds to practice cultivation?"
"That's right." Lu Yao smiled, "This way, ordinary people can't pose a threat to us."
All the Golden Immortals in Leiyin Temple fell into silence, as if they were thinking.
In the Heavenly Palace of the Nine Mountains Realm, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Lu Yao's idea was really beyond their expectations - you know, any Tao fruit needs an audience, otherwise it will be difficult to make progress, or even impossible to maintain the original strength.
Xuan Chengzi frowned and asked, "If our Dao is lost, won't we be able to make any progress?"
Lu Yao chuckled softly and said, "Do you all know the characteristics of my Leiyin Temple's skills?"
"Of course I know." Xuan Chengzi nodded. "Leiyin Temple is best at Dharmakāya… It's different from Yangshen and Dharmakāya. It's unique, yet incredibly powerful."
Lu Yao smiled slightly, and his upright body swayed slightly, revealing two figures.
A man with a hair bun like the scorching sun on the back of his head and wearing a golden robe, looks very imposing.
One looks like a Buddha or a Taoist, with loose hair and a smiling face.
Although both of them have Lu Yao's face, these two figures are one high and mighty, and the other quiet and peaceful.
Xuan Chengzi's eyes changed.
"This is my Golden Crow Dharma Image and Hao Ri Dharma Image." Lu Yao's two Dharma Images suddenly opened their eyes, their eyes were bright and lively, like living people, and they even had the aura of a golden immortal.
"This..." Xuan Chengzi's eyes widened a little, as if he understood, "Is the Dharma image your previous life?"
"That's right." Lu Yao raised the corner of his mouth, as if a little proud. "Thunder Sound Buddha has a great opportunity. He found the Pure Land world left by the saint, which can preserve the results of his previous life's practice."
"Pure Land..."
Xuan Chengzi couldn't help but murmur.
In the Nine Mountains Realm, the Emperor of Heaven had a look of sudden realization on his face: "The Pure Land World must have been left behind by the two saints Zhunti and Jieyin... I never thought it would be the foundation of the Dharma."
Zheng Fa understood in Jiuyaotian that the idea of Zhunti's guidance was to build a perfect world.
"In the Pure Land, our Dharma images will not only not perish, but will gradually become stronger."
Xuan Chengzi frowned and said, "What's the point of this? I'm talking about the lack of Dao Fruit recipients and the stagnation of our cultivation."
"That's what I said." Lu Yao laughed, "I am my audience."
Leiyin Temple fell into silence, and then Xuan Chengzi exclaimed: "The calamity has changed?"
"That's exactly what you said, fellow Daoist."
"In our previous lives, we were Dharma images. When we reincarnate in this world, we will have all of our selves in the heavens and the myriad worlds as our 'audience'. After achieving enlightenment in the next life, we will merge with our previous selves and our cultivation will naturally advance greatly."
Xuan Chengzi looked a little stunned, obviously shocked by Lu Yao's idea: "Is it really possible?"
"Of course." Lu Yao's smile deepened. "There's just one thing that's a little difficult."
"What?"
"If the Pure Land wants to preserve and nourish the Dharma, it needs incense and faith."
Xuan Chengzi's smile faded slightly: "Shintoism?"
"The original Pure Land was unable to absorb the wishes of all living beings. Now that I have merged with the Pure Land, it has become the central Pure Land world. The more faith there is and the purer it is, the greater the effect of the Pure Land on the Dharma."
"You mean, we need to hand over all the mortals in the heavens and myriad realms to Leiyin Temple, no, to you?"
"Otherwise, the Pure Land would have difficulty supporting so many fruit-bearing beings." Lu Yao affirmed, "There are five grades of ordinary people, with monks being the first, urging ordinary people to be kind and believe in Buddhism."
Xuan Chengzi frowned, exchanged glances with the other two Supreme Dao Golden Immortals beside him, and said, "We need to discuss this matter further."
"You all have come to my Leiyin Temple, and you have also seen the scenery of my Leiyin Temple." Lu Yao's tone was full of confidence. "The mortals of the world are ignorant. If everyone could uphold the Dharma, they could also be happy. The spiritual energy is constant, and we who have achieved the Tao can enjoy freedom and happiness. In this way, all living beings can live in peace and contentment, and each can find their place. Isn't this bliss?"
At this point, Lu Yao sighed deeply, as if feeling a sense of emotion: "As for us, we have experienced tribulations to prove the Dao, to regulate yin and yang, to control the heavens, to govern the mortal world, and to explore the immortal path in the future, we will also take the responsibility."
In the Nine Mountains Realm, everyone understood Lu Yao's most comprehensive ideas.
"Use the method of turning disasters into luck to win over the immortals, and use the method of the gods to rule the heavens." Uncle Pang sighed, looking a little troubled.
Even the Emperor of Heaven felt that this was a difficult situation.
To be honest, Lu Yao's purpose is not difficult to see. As for the so-called fixed fruit position, he is in charge of the central pure land world, so he must be the most honorable one and even the one who gets the most benefits.
Even the so-called Golden Immortals' discussions would probably be difficult to escape his influence.
If all the faith in the world is devoted to Lu Yao, how great an impact will that have? Even the Emperor of Heaven himself finds it difficult to imagine now.
However, the method of turning disasters that he talked about was indeed a huge bait for other Daoists - with himself as the audience, although the number was not large, it was actually enough for a sect like Tai Shang Dao, which was very selective in selecting its disciples.
When practicing the method of changing calamity, one cannot avoid Lu Yao.
What shocked the Emperor of Heaven the most was that in this scenario, the myriad worlds would reach an ultimate stability—
The previous life was the fruit of the Tao, and this life is the fruit of the Tao.
Ordinary people, without a great opportunity and the consent of the Dao Fruits, will be bound by the Nine-Rank Immortal System and will not even be able to practice Taoism.
Essentially speaking, in Lu Yao's system, ordinary people are probably just like poultry, pigs and dogs, and only need to be used to nourish the Pure Land.
Just like Zheng Fa's "Huangting Sutra", Lu Yao turned his own central pure land world into the foundation of his future Xuanwei Immortal Dao.
Jiushan Sect and Zheng Fa naturally looked down upon this kind of stability.
But Golden Immortals like Xuan Chengzi probably like it too much.
In the light curtain, Xuan Chengzi and others moved their lips, as if they were discussing something. After a while, they began to nod frequently.
The Emperor of Heaven felt a tightness in his body and mind, and the brows of the other people in the Heavenly Palace also frowned.
Whether considering the relationship between Jiushan Sect and Leiyin Temple or the difference in their philosophies, if Lu Yao's idea succeeds, it will pose a huge threat to Jiushan Sect.
It can be said that the Jiushan Sect was definitely among those being cleared out.
After a long moment, Xuan Chengzi suddenly hesitated and said with some doubt, "How can we be sure that you won't break your oath?"
The Emperor of Heaven felt a sinking feeling in his heart, knowing that this was actually a sign that they were really inclined towards this.
"I think Fellow Daoist Xuancheng should also know the nature of Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
"I asked the Dao Zun, but he was vague."
"It was only after I took control of the Pure Land World that I truly understood." Lu Yao glanced at Zheng Fa with a strange look in his eyes. "The last ray of primordial purple energy is the basis for the human race to attain enlightenment."
"The human race attains enlightenment? Isn't it through the human race that we attain enlightenment?"
"No." Lu Yao shook his head and said, "The human race has attained enlightenment."
"The primordial purple energy actually belongs to all of humanity," Lu Yao explained. "When we perfect the laws of heaven and earth, all the heavens will become one, and the three elements will witness together. Then humanity will become one."
“When the time comes, it will be the time for the person who controls the human race to achieve the Dao of Daluo, and it will also be the time for the human race as a whole to achieve the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo with the help of the Hongmeng Purple Qi.”
"Human race, achieve the Dao of Hunyuan Daluo?"
"That's what's called a saint." Lu Yao looked at the surprised Xuan Chengzi and smiled, "Therefore, as long as heaven, earth, and humanity are unified, even if I achieve Daluo Dao, it will not go against my ideas. By then, we will be part of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, one and the same, indistinguishable from each other."
"Isn't this... the way that the Gu God attained enlightenment?"
Lu Yao nodded gently. "So, who gets the Hongmeng Purple Qi isn't that important. What's important is who can truly control the entire human race... Besides us, who else can it be?"
Xuan Chengzi's eyes flashed, and he murmured, "Hongmeng Purple Qi, so that's it."
He couldn't help but look at Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa also heard what Lu Yao said, but he didn't want to interfere.
In his sea of consciousness, golden characters condensed one after another, gathering into a Taoist scripture, or an essay.
The title of the Dao Sutra is just four words:
The Origin of Daoguo
