"What a great Emperor Donghua Shaoyang!"
On the third cushion, a figure shrouded in the mist of history slowly spoke.
As words of praise resounded throughout the boundless void, it seemed as if infinite vitality transformed into spiritual energy and descended within this realm.
Vines spread out from outside the void and began to grow wildly with the help of endless spiritual vitality, as if to fill the entire void realm.
Some of the Immortal Golden Immortals showed strange expressions upon seeing this, and subconsciously tried to absorb these life force spiritual essences, allowing these spiritual essences to nourish their bodies.
But just the next moment, the faces of these immortal golden immortals suddenly changed. They saw that within their immortal bodies, the vitality transformed from the spiritual essence actually evolved into independent life individuals.
Every organ, every hair, and every cell seems to have its own will, wanting to break free from the constraints of the body.
"What the hell is this?"
"This spiritual essence is poisonous!"
But there were also ancient immortal golden immortals with gleams in their eyes, recognizing the essence of this vitality at a glance.
"This is the manifestation of the origin of the Great Dao, blessing every life equally!"
"In all the heavens, the only one who can reach this point on the path of life is the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole!"
Shen Yuan's sight also fell on the third cushion, and a hint of vigilance rose in his eyes.
The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole, one of the Four Emperors of Heaven in the future, is said to be in charge of the destiny of all heavens.
People all say that immortals can achieve immortality, but even true immortals have an end to their lifespans. However, if one worships the South Pole Heavenly Palace and enters the Book of Longevity, the South Pole Emperor of Longevity will bless one with a lifespan as long as the heavens.
The South Pole Palace is known as the most unfathomable of the four poles, because no one knows how many immortals and gods are trapped and nearing the end of their lives, and have been entered into the Book of Long Life to receive blessings from the South Pole Emperor of Longevity.
Although the Heavenly Court had not yet reached the pinnacle of ruling the heavens at this time, and the Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole had not yet reached the realm of the Four Imperial Emperors, he was still one of the most powerful people in all the realms.
It seems only natural for such a great figure to sit on the throne of Daoguo.
Although Shen Yuan received the recognition from the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole, there was no joy on his face, but a slight depression in his heart.
The Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole and the Emperor Shaoyang of the East China are both emperors of the Heavenly Court, so they should be familiar with each other.
But before, when Shen Yuan was in trouble with many immortal golden immortals and Daluo Tianzuns, the Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole did not show any gesture of helping him.
It was not until Shen Yuan had firmly established himself on the Daoguo throne that he took the initiative to speak in praise, making it impossible for Shen Yuan to grasp the true nature of this Great Emperor of the Four Imperials.
"Did he see through my identity? Or did he simply use these innate gods to test the details of Emperor Donghua Shaoyang?"
Shen Yuan thought in his heart, but apart from this praise, the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole had no intention of speaking again.
As the sound ceased, the vitality and spiritual energy in the void began to dissipate.
Those immortal golden immortals who were affected by the vitality and spiritual essence regained their composure after the initial panic and suppressed their restless will.
Everything seemed to have returned to the original state.
However, at this moment, the innate gods no longer had any intention of provoking Shen Yuan.
Whether it was Shen Yuan easily dismissing the powerful men with just a few words, or the divine power displayed by the Southern Emperor of Longevity in his every move, the innate gods no longer dared to offend the Heavenly Court easily.
Although he still had some concerns in his heart, since the Great Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole no longer showed any signs of behavior, Shen Yuan did not delve into it and began to focus his attention on the throne of Daoguo.
For other powerful people in the Daluo realm who sit on the Daoguo throne, the real purpose of the Daoguo throne is to get a glimpse of the true meaning of the Dao passed down by the Supreme. The infinite Dao rhyme contained in the Daoguo throne can only be regarded as a side benefit and is insignificant to the Daluo realm.
But for Shen Yuan, this little bonus is enough to make up for this adventure.
There is no treasure for enlightenment in the world that can compare to the infinite rhythm of the Tao that allows the soul to enter a higher dimensional realm.
The incomparable experience of being able to see the true meaning of all great principles from a high position is even enough to deduce a great divine power to the third realm.
The third level of the Tiangang Great Divine Power is a realm that countless masters of divine power throughout history have found difficult to reach.
As a method of cultivation, Shen Yuan's Nine Breaths to Subdue the Qi great magical power, once he entered the third realm, it meant that Shen Yuan had mastered a great way.
As long as you have enough spiritual energy, you can enter the realm of great celestial immortal within a hundred years, and there will be no obstacles in the middle.
If he chooses the great magical power of returning wind and fire, Shen Yuan can easily travel through the long river of history and cross the torrent of history upstream without even the help of the Tianyuan secret order.
If the Seven Arrows with Nail Heads Great Divine Power is deduced to the third realm, no one below the Immortal Realm can be killed. Above the Immortal Realm and below the Golden Immortal, as long as a trace of cause and effect is found, it can also be easily cursed to death.
Being in a high-dimensional state, Shen Yuan's consciousness was clearer than ever before.
The deduction of the star-number magical power allowed him to easily reject these overnight attempts and set his sights on an inconspicuous magical power of his own creation.
The Dharma image of the great way!
When Shen Yuan broke through the realm of spirit refining, he combined the Yangshen Dharmakāya with the Tiangang and Disha magical powers, thus evolving the Dao Dharmakāya.
This magical power was originally intended to avoid being discovered when using the Tiangang and Disha magical powers, so a trace of the true meaning was intercepted and displayed in the form of a Dharma image.
However, as Shen Yuan's understanding of the Dao became more and more profound, he began to realize that the depth of this magical power far exceeded his expectations.
The more Tiangang and Disha magical powers are gathered, the more powerful the Dao Dharma will become. After gathering a certain number, even unknown transformations can occur.
Although Shen Yuan is still in the exploratory stage regarding the Dao Dharma, the potential of the Dao Dharma has already begun to take shape.
But Shen Yuan believes that this level of understanding is far from enough.
It should not be just a simple medium of borrowing Dharma, gathering the true meaning of Tiangang and Disha, and condensing the Dharma form of the Great Dao that is unique in this world and among all the worlds.
And when he sat on the Tao Fruit throne and looked down at himself from a high-dimensional posture, the inspiration that emerged from the infinite Tao rhyme further proved Shen Yuan's guess.
So Shen Yuan gave up the idea of practicing Tiangang method to achieve success overnight and chose to bet on the Dao Dharma.
Pour all of this infinite Dao rhythm into the Dao Dharma Image, and use it to deduce the truly complete Dao Dharma Image.
The true meaning of Tiangang and Disha continued to unfold before his eyes. Infinite Dao rules intertwined and the origins of the great Dao converged, revealing a Dharma image with infinite changes.
The Dharma of the Great Dao began to perfect itself step by step, and all the laws of the heavens seemed to be integrated into it.
Shen Yuan was immersed in the endless changes of the avenue, and he didn't know how much time had passed.
When Shen Yuan woke up from the perception of making up for the imperfections of the Great Dao Dharma, he discovered that the infinite Dao rhyme that represented the great position of Dao Fruit was partially incomplete.
The true spirit fell from its high-dimensional state, and the deduction of the Dharma of the Great Dao also came to a temporary end.
Looking down at the cushion beneath him, Shen Yuan vaguely felt that the originally solid cushion had a sense of illusion.
"I'm just trying to get some Daoyun wool. I hope there won't be any problems."
Shen Yuan suddenly felt guilty.
This Dao Fruit throne originated from the Dao Fruit projection of the Great Celestial Venerable, and is the key to unlocking the Dao Canon. If anything goes wrong, the Great Celestial Venerable might directly kick him out of this place of preaching.
"But the harvest of this trip is already rich. Completing the Great Dao Law is far more valuable to me than the illusory Supreme Teaching. Even if I am kicked out of the teaching place now, it is worth it."
Looking around this preaching land, I don't know how much time has passed. There are many more immortals and gods around than before, and even some great immortals who have not reached the immortal golden realm have appeared. With the great magical power of returning wind and returning fire, Shen Yuan keenly noticed that the historical fog on these great immortals has become thicker, vaguely pointing to different historical nodes.
Shen Yuan understood in his heart, and his eyes fell on the nine Daoguo positions. The two Daoguo positions that were originally remaining after Shen Yuan and Zhen Yuanzi arrived had now been filled.
Most of the figures on the nine cushions were completely obscured by the mist of history. As the other party did not actively reveal their identities, Shen Yuan found it difficult to recognize them.
Just as Shen Yuan was concentrating on thinking, the sound of a bell suddenly rang out in the boundless void.
The sound of the bell seemed to come from the time when the world was first created, running through the long river of history and flowing to future generations. The ancient sound of Tao echoed in the heavens.
In the beginning of ancient times, who preached the doctrine?
How can we examine it when the upper and lower parts are not yet formed?
…
Amid the roar of the bell, an old figure with white hair and beard appeared in the center of this preaching place.
He just sat there, and all the great principles of the heavens were upon him.
At this moment, no matter how unruly the gods and demons were, or how majestic the emperors were, they all stood up and saluted the old figure.
"We pay our respects to the Supreme Dao Ancestor!"
Shen Yuan subconsciously followed their movements and saluted the Great Celestial Lord, but his eyes were fixed on the Taoist Patriarch with white hair and beard, and his pupils trembled violently.
In his eyes, the old man who possessed all the great virtues of the heavens looked as haggard as a rotten corpse, and his Taoist robe was stained with dark red blood.
However, among the countless immortal golden immortals and Daluo Tianzu present, none of them showed any abnormality towards Taishang Daozu's condition, as if Taishang Daozu in their eyes was still in normal state.
A great fear surged from Shen Yuan's heart, and then he saw the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, who looked like a corpse, looking at him.
In stark contrast to that terrifying appearance, that look was so gentle and calm that it silently soothed the anxiety and fear deep in Shen Yuan's heart.
Then, an old voice sounded from within the True Spirit.
"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao..."
…
Shen Yuan suddenly woke up.
Looking around, I realized that I had found myself in a simple carriage without knowing when.
The carriage, pieced together from shabby templates, seemed to be barely able to prevent collapse. There were no shock absorbers, and the wheels felt bumpy as they passed over the ground.
The only special thing is that there is an ancient token engraved with the word "Tao" hanging outside the carriage, but its color is old and rotten, just like the carriage.
Preaching in the heavens, attaining the great throne of Taoism, and having the corpse of the Supreme Being, all these seemed to be just an illusory dream in this simple carriage.
The uneasiness in his heart dissipated a little, and Shen Yuan subconsciously checked his own condition, but the answer he got made his expression change drastically.
At this moment, he had reached the pinnacle of spirit refining without knowing when. His own accumulation had reached the limit, and he was only one step away from entering the realm of returning to the void, which was to merge his Dharma body with the heaven and earth.
More importantly, the Dharma image of the Great Dao that has been deduced through infinite Dao rhyme still exists.
"Everything I experienced before was not a false dream, but real!"
"I accidentally entered the place where the teachings were being preached, and witnessed the group of immortals, gods, and supreme beings preaching the teachings!"
After the initial shock, I finally managed to suppress the passionate thoughts.
No matter what the reason was for the remains of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, it was not something that a mere spiritual cultivator like him could touch.
Compared to the secret that hides great terror, it is more important to figure out the current situation.
After practicing the "Taixu Soul Refining Method" and confirming that there were no hidden dangers in his realm improvement, Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, his condition has reached an unprecedented peak. As long as he is willing, he can merge his body into the heaven and earth and enter the state of returning to the void at any time.
However, Shen Yuan was not ready to break through at this moment.
Although the Dharma-Image of the Great Dao was deduced and perfected by the infinite Dao rhyme, the first transformation of the Dharma-Image of the Great Dao that Shen Yuan had envisioned was not completed.
Shen Yuan believed that if the Dao Dharmakāya could complete its first transformation, it would bring immense benefits. By then, he would be able to merge with heaven and earth and perhaps ascend to heaven in one step.
After figuring out his own situation, which was of most concern to him, Shen Yuan finally had the mind to look around at the surroundings.
The carriage continued to move forward. Apart from Shen Yuan, there was only one coachman driving outside.
This carriage looks shabby, but the coachman outside has reached the level of spiritual cultivation. In Dayin, he is high enough to be named a real person and rule the area.
But here, he was willing to drive a shabby carriage and did not show any reluctance.
Shen Yuan felt a little alert in his heart, but he saw that the driver seemed to have noticed the movement in the carriage and turned his head to look inside the carriage with a look of surprise.
"Sir, you're awake!"
gentlemen?
Shen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "Where are we going?"
The driver didn't seem surprised by Shen Yuan's question.
"Sir, have you entered into a dream again?
When consciousness returns from thousands of years of history, some memories will indeed be lost, but with your magical powers, a little training will be enough to restore them. "
After a slight pause, the driver patiently explained:
"We are on our way to Linzi, the capital of Qi State. It is less than a day's journey from here to Linzi.
The scholars of the Hundred Schools of Thought want to hold a grand ceremony of discussing the Dao in the Jixia Academy. All the great demons from the Ten Directions and the gods and Buddhas from the Luotian Realm will go to Linzi to watch the ceremony."
Shen Yuan keenly caught the three words "Luotian Realm" and realized in his heart that he had come to Luotian Realm from the place of preaching.
The original location of the Luotian Dharma Assembly of all realms was right in this Luotian Realm.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan suddenly felt relieved.
His eyes fell on the driver. Shen Yuan looked around the dilapidated carriage and frowned slightly.
"Since it's less than a day's journey to Linzi, we can just use our magical powers to get there. Why would we waste time driving this shabby carriage?"
The driver was suddenly startled and said quickly:
"Sir, you must not do that!
As a teacher, he had to drive a carriage into the Jixia Academy to show his status.
This is both a great principle and a great gift!"
"Why is that?"
"Because you, sir, are one of the hundreds of philosophers!"
