Chapter 543: Dragon Lord's Visiting Card, Sea Crisis
There is a newly built auditorium in Xuanwuyuan. Although it is called an auditorium, it is actually a separate suspended island with an area of about 800 acres, which is enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
In the middle of the auditorium, there is a white stone platform, three meters high, with ninety-nine steps on each side.
Zheng Fa sat cross-legged on the stage, looking around.
The three thousand disciples of Jiushan Sect, led by Senior Sister Zhang and others, sat on cushions in various places.
These disciples are all above the Jindan stage. They are certainly not all of the Jiushan Sect's Jindan disciples, but the elite among them. At the very least, they are in the late Jindan stage and have the potential to form a Nascent Soul. Although the "Huangting Sutra" starts with the "Talisman Foundation Establishment Method", it is after all subtle and profound. One must start from the Nascent Soul stage to truly get started. If a disciple's cultivation is not up to standard and he cannot understand, it is not a big deal. The biggest concern is that after learning, he will still have obstacles in his knowledge and understanding.
Therefore, the only people who came to listen to the sermon were the three thousand most elite disciples in the sect.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Zheng Fa's spiritual power moved slightly, and three golden flowers floated in the air, illuminating the stage and the audience.
"This lecture will last for twenty-one days. In the first seven days, I will teach the key points of the Huangting Sutra before the Nascent Soul stage. The main contents are the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir Method and the Transformations of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Demons."
The Jindan and Yuanying early stage disciples below the stage all had happy expressions on their faces, as this part was obviously the most useful to them.
"During the middle seven days, we will discuss the outline of the Transformation Spirit Realm in the Huangting Sutra, with the main content being the key to the unity of the Three Laws."
Now, the ones who are happy are the disciples in the middle and late stages of the Nascent Soul stage.
"The last seven days will be for us to exchange ideas." Zheng Fa's eyes swept over everyone's faces. "If you have any questions or opinions, feel free to speak up. There's no need to stand up."
The disciples below the stage all bowed slightly, as if in greeting.
Zheng Fa clasped his thumbs together with his ring fingers, forming a Dao seal, and said:
"The general outline of the Huangting Sutra says: The body and spirit are both perfectly integrated into the true one, and the dual cultivation of nature and life penetrates the Huangting..."
He began to talk about the general outline, and as he spoke, streams of purple air flowed out from his auspicious cloud and landed around the platform.
The sound of the sermon echoed in the auditorium like a bell.
Rays of colorful clouds seemed to be attracted by the sermon and sneaked into the room secretly, making the room colorful and dazzling.
Among the disciples below the stage, those with higher comprehension skills were already mesmerized, and some even started dancing.
Even if they couldn't fully understand it at the moment, they would still listen attentively, not wanting to miss a single word.
Yan Wushuang sat on the cushion and didn't fully understand - his comprehension and cultivation were sufficient, and he was even practicing the "Huangting Sutra", but he had practiced in the Tianhe Sect for a long time in his early years, and many of his concepts were still somewhat different from those of the Jiushan Sect. When he listened to it now, there were always some contradictions.
So he listened very carefully.
Which disciple in the sect doesn’t know the specialness of the Huangting Sutra?
This kind of martial arts is undoubtedly the secret of the four sects. Who would be so generous as the sect leader?
But what they never expected was that Zheng Fa seemed to see their doubts halfway through his speech. He paused and turned back to talk about some of the difficulties he had just encountered.
This time, he didn't just speak with his mouth:
Zheng Fa pointed his right index finger forward, and a light curtain appeared.
In the light curtain, in addition to some texts from the "Huangting Sutra", there is also a three-dimensional human body.
As the scriptures changed, the corresponding parts of the human body lit up with red light, and then the parts were enlarged so that everyone could see them clearly.
Although he was already accustomed to the multimedia teaching method of Jiushan Sect, Yan Wushuang still felt a little emotional at this moment:
This shows that the leader had really made preparations before preaching.
It is not just about preparing this kind of "courseware", but more importantly, Zheng Fa seems to have understood the difficulties in the "Huangting Jing" a long time ago, and deliberately explained them repeatedly, trying to make people understand.
As I said, in other sects, disciples are afraid that this kind of great technique will not be taught in their own sect.
But in the Jiushan Sect, Zheng Fa seemed to be afraid that they would not be able to learn the "Huangting Sutra", which is considered the most profound Taoist scripture.
The fourteenth day passed in a flash.
When the preaching gradually died down, everyone was still immersed in the mysteries of the "Huangting Sutra" and could not extricate themselves.
It was not until two sticks of incense had passed that everyone gradually came back to their senses.
Many disciples looked at Zheng Fa with somewhat resentful expressions - one could almost say they were unsatisfied.
Zheng Fa smiled secretly and asked everyone:
"Do you have any questions?"
One of the disciples immediately shouted, "Master, please continue the lecture for two more days!"
After hearing this, the other disciples immediately nodded and echoed each other.
"This time it's only twenty-one days."
The audience immediately sighed.
"But I didn't say it was just this once."
"Master?"
"I have discussed with the elders of our sect that in the next few years, I will lecture on the Huangting Sutra once every three months." Zheng Fa said with a smile.
"During this three-month break, you can study the Huangting Sutra and accumulate insights and doubts."
After hearing this, all the disciples smiled even more happily.
"Besides me, the elders and elite disciples will also give sermons regularly in the auditorium." Zheng Fa shared some exciting news. "In other words, any disciple can apply to give a sermon here. The specific schedule will be announced by Jiushan University."
This is equivalent to regular public lectures or academic seminars.
The difference between this kind of seminar and the daily teaching at Jiushan University is that there are no restrictions on the identity or topic of the preacher, and he can express himself freely. There are also not many restrictions on the listeners. Anyone who is interested can come, and it is more free.
In Zheng Fa's opinion, the Taoist research of Jiushan Sect has reached a point where there is no previous method to learn from.
Only by relying on internal collision of ideas can we bring forth new ideas.
He had no better solution and could only loosen up the academic atmosphere in the sect.
After hearing this, the disciples in the audience were no longer dissatisfied, but full of anticipation.
Over the next few days, Zheng Fa answered some of his disciples' questions - although he had prepared lessons, due to their different personal talents and backgrounds, he could not think of some questions.
There are still many disciples who have difficulties with the Huangting Sutra.
Until the 21st day.
No more disciples asked questions. Zheng Fa was about to announce the end of the sermon when his expression suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the air. A light gate the size of a head appeared at his fingertips.
A golden note flew in from the light gate.
There are five dragons painted on this golden scroll, and it is shrouded in precious light. It is clearly a rare magic weapon.
"What is this?"
Senior Sister Zhang in the audience wondered.
Zheng Fa took the golden card in his hand and looked at it. He was a little surprised, but then he laughed: "This is the visiting card of Lord Shuyu Dragon."
"A visiting card?"
Senior Sister Zhang, Senior Uncle Pang and others sat on the cushions and looked at each other. Like Zheng Fa, they were also a little confused.
The Lord of the Jade Dragon has come to the Nine Mountains Realm countless times, but has he ever been so formal?
Now he has specially sent a visiting card which is obviously valuable. It is really puzzling.
"The Jade Dragon Lord will be visiting in three days, so this sermon will end right here."
After hearing this, all the disciples and elders in the audience spontaneously stood up from their cushions and bowed deeply to him: "Thank you, Master, for your teaching."
Zheng Fa also stood up on the stage, bowed to the four directions, and replied, "I am waiting for you all to come up to this stage."
…
The Jade Dragon Lord stood on the bottom of the sea, frowning, and shouted at the empty sea: "This is my territory, Dragon King, please don't overstep your bounds."
No one responded.
"How dare the mighty Cangming Dragon King hide his head and show his tail, daring to act but not to take responsibility?"
A laugh was heard.
A whirlpool formed at the bottom of the sea, and the figure of Cangming Dragon King stepped out from the whirlpool. He was not only unashamed, but also had an aggressive aura.
The Jade Dragon Lord's expression grew even colder as he shouted, "Dragon King, you are using your magical powers to invade my Xuanwei Sea. Do you intend to become my enemy?"
"It was you who wanted to be my enemy. You refused my son's marriage, Shuyu. Do you really think that my Cangming Dragon Palace will allow you to bully us?"
The Jade Dragon Lord laughed in anger: "I can't even say no?"
"Of course you can refuse the marriage proposal." Cangming Dragon King shook his head, "But you have to give me this Xuanwei Sea."
"Xuan Weihai, why do you think I refused the marriage? You really did it for this."
The expression of Lord Shuyulong became increasingly cold.
The reason why she chose Jiushan Sect instead of Cangming Dragon King was not only because of the three dragon eggs in the Jiushan Realm and the grandeur of Jiushan Sect, but also because she could see through Cangming Dragon King's thoughts.
Xuanwei Sea is the original sea area of Xuanwei Realm. Not only is it vast in area, it is also the center of today's ocean - the newly born North Sea and the unappeared South Sea are located to the north and south of Xuanwei Sea.
Whether it is communication between sea areas or wanting to unify the ocean, Xuanwei Sea is the top priority.
"You understand? You don't understand!" Cangming Dragon King seemed even angrier than her. "The Xuanwei Great Change is imminent. There's no telling when a Golden Immortal will appear. You're just a True Immortal, and you think you can hide in the sea and not get involved in worldly affairs?"
This statement left Lord Shuyu Dragon unable to refute.
"If we marry each other, I will unify the sea and have the hope of achieving the Golden Immortal Dao. At that time, my dragon clan will naturally become a major force, and you can sleep on the seabed for the rest of your life, and no one will care!"
The Cangming Dragon King's momentum grew stronger, and he was filled with grief and indignation: "How could I have known that you were so ignorant of the big picture? You are truly a sinner of our dragon clan, an eternal sinner!"
The Shuyu Dragon Lord said, "Since the Dragon King is sensible and wholeheartedly devoted to the dragon clan, wouldn't it be fine for me to attain the Golden Immortal status?"
The Cangming Dragon King was suddenly speechless.
"The Dragon King cares so much about my dragon clan, so why are you unwilling to protect my three children?"
Looking at the speechless face of Cangming Dragon King, Shuyu Dragon Lord sneered in his heart.
Do you really think she is stupid?
She had long been aware of the character of the Cangming Dragon King. Now, putting aside her kinship feelings, she could see it even more clearly - it was not an exaggeration to say that this man would perish if he followed her.
Looking at the face of Cangming Dragon King, Shuyu Dragon Lord knew that it was useless to say more.
The matter of rejecting the marriage proposal is really a minor matter, and the Dragon King Cangming probably doesn't care much about this insult.
But he was determined to get Xuanwei Hai.
In the eyes of the Dragon King, he was probably blocking his way to becoming a Golden Immortal and was his mortal enemy.
Right and wrong are as light as a feather in this matter.
She was unwilling to give up Xuanwei Sea, so it was... a life-and-death fight.
Just as the two were silent, the expression of the Shuyu Dragon Lord suddenly changed and he looked at the Cangming Dragon King.
She could sense that other places in Xuanwei Sea were being harassed by others—
The seawater that was originally under her control was being refined, and the aquatic creatures loyal to her were either killed or switched to others.
Seeing her grim expression, Cangming Dragon King smiled smugly: "Dragon Lord, you really don't want to accept my toast. Can you stop my Cangming Dragon Palace alone?"
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon pursed his lips, but had to admit that the Dragon King of Cangming was right.
When dealing with others, her control over the sea area naturally allows her to rest easy.
But the world is fair, this talent is not only possessed by her, but also by any ancient dragon.
As a result, she would no longer have the advantage in the battle with Cangming Dragon Palace, and might even be at a disadvantage.
The other family is fighting together, but she is alone and is bound to suffer.
She no longer paid attention to the Cangming Dragon King, her figure flashed twice, and she fled towards a strange place.
Thanks to the dragon clan's magical powers, she arrived at an underwater canyon more than 20,000 miles away almost instantly.
This canyon is also the boundary between the territory of Shuyu Dragon Lord and Cangming Dragon Palace.
Above the canyon, the second prince of Cangming Dragon Palace was standing in the water, gathering the spiritual power in his hands into a golden ball of light, washing the sea water in an attempt to invade the territory of Shuyu Dragon Lord.
Seeing her chasing after him, the Second Prince immediately showed a hint of nervousness on his face.
Just as Lord Shuyu Dragon was about to make a move, he felt the water waves around him surge, and the Cangming Dragon King arrived in the blink of an eye.
This Dragon King is like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to her and won’t let go!
But she also understood that if this happened, she really wouldn't be able to do anything to Cangming Dragon Palace!
Both of them are true immortals, and their magical powers are equally powerful. It is hard to say who will win, but it is difficult to kill the other.
I think Cangming Dragon King also understands this, so he only uses the method of cannibalization -
He let the other four dragons refine the sea area, while he stared at the Shuyu Dragon Lord, making it impossible for her to make a move.
Seeing her dilemma, Cangming Dragon King gently stroked his two long whiskers. The second prince grinned and increased his magic power. In front of Shuyu Dragon Lord, he seemed... even more excited.
"Does the Dragon King really not care about the feelings of his own kind?"
"It's too late to talk about the feelings of the same race now!"
After hearing this, Lord Shuyu Dragon looked at the two of them deeply, and left quietly without saying a word.
Seeing her like this, the Second Prince seemed a little uneasy and asked, "Dad, this woman doesn't have any other tricks up her sleeve, does she?"
"Method? It's nothing more than looking for Zheng Fa..." Cangming Dragon King said proudly, "If we were on the shore, I would naturally give Zheng Fa some leverage, but in the sea, what do we have to fear?"
After hearing this, the second prince gained more confidence and nodded frequently.
The Shuyu Dragon Lord returned to his own Dragon Palace and looked at the dragons carved on the stone walls. His expression changed from hesitation to determination.
She walked slowly into the hall and set up an incense table. In the middle of the table was a seal.
The Lord of Shuyu Dragon lit three incense sticks and bowed nine times to the seal before solemnly putting it away and heading towards the Nine Mountains Realm.
When we flew to the junction of land and sea, we heard a loud shout from the sky:
"But is it the Shuyu Dragon Lord's Dharma Chariot?"
Following the sound, she saw Master Pang of the Jiushan Sect standing on the shore, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Are you waiting for me?"
"We are waiting for the Dragon Lord."
Lord Shuyu Dragon was puzzled and looked at Uncle Pang.
"The Dragon Lord presented his greeting card first, showing the utmost courtesy. The Sect Leader was deeply impressed, so he ordered me to come and greet him."
After hearing this, Lord Shuyu Dragon's expression softened a lot, and his bad mood of the past few days improved a lot.
"And my Nine Mountain Realm has also moved to a new location recently."
"Changed location?"
Uncle Pang didn't answer, but waved his hand, and his life-saving magic weapon, the Five Dragons Heavenly Palace, stood in mid-air. He smiled and said, "You will know once the Dragon Lord goes there."
But the Dragon Lord didn't move. Uncle Pang turned around and saw that he broke out in a cold sweat - the Dragon Lord was staring at the five dragons.
