"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nameless, it is the origin of heaven and earth; named, it is the mother of all things. Therefore, one should always be without desire, so as to observe its mystery; one should always have desire, so as to observe its manifestations. These two are the same in origin but different in name; they are both called profound. Profound and yet more profound, the gateway to all mysteries."
"The spirit of the valley never dies; it is called the mysterious female. The gate of the mysterious female is called the root of heaven and earth. It exists continuously and inexhaustibly, and its use is inexhaustible."
"..."
Meng Fan was eloquent and his words carried great power, causing strange phenomena to occur around him.
"The three lectures are over. You may wake up."
His words startled everyone, leaving them all wanting more.
"We are very grateful to the Palace Master for imparting the Dao!"
Meng Fan, standing on the cloud platform, waved his hand and said, "You have all cultivated diligently over the years and made great progress."
"It is all thanks to the Palace Master; we are ashamed!"
"The Chaos Sea is boundless, and the Azure Profound World is but a tiny grain of rice within it. It's time for you to go out and explore."
Everyone was startled by these words, realizing that the important matter had arrived, and they all listened attentively.
Meng Fan slowly said, "The chaotic sea we are in is called the Kunwu Sea, which covers an area of 50,000 saint years. Nine out of ten of the worlds are Heavenly Dao Worlds, there are about 130,000 Great Thousand Worlds, and countless Middle Thousand Worlds and Small Thousand Worlds."
Although the crowd didn't understand many of the words, no one dared to interrupt Meng Fan. They simply wrote down what he said and planned to ask someone about it later.
"There are forty-seven sages and four Hunyuan beings in the Kunwu Sea, all of whom are in the Heavenly Dao World."
"The primordial spirit of a sage is entrusted to the Heavenly Dao, making him immortal and indestructible. However, his highest cultivation level is limited to the Heavenly Dao, and he cannot go against the will of the Heavenly Dao. He must plan for the Heavenly Dao throughout his life."
"The Primordial Being is a True Saint of Freedom, with powerful combat strength, able to come and go freely, unrestrained and carefree, and is a key factor in measuring the strength of a sea area."
Next, Meng Fan told them about the general situation of the Kunwu Sea, the power of the Boundless World and its opposition to Youxi Tianzun and Xiurong Tianzun, etc.
This broadened everyone's horizons. They never imagined the outside world was so wonderful. Although the outside world was powerful, they were not weak either, and they had long harbored a desire to conquer it.
“I sealed away the Xuanzhi Heavenly Venerable of the Boundless World and killed the Cunji Heavenly Venerable of the Boundless World, thus forging a deadly enmity with them.”
Meng Fan paused here, glanced around, trying to see who showed fear. But to his relief, he saw shock, fervor, excitement, and admiration in their eyes, but no fear.
Meng Fan then continued, "I have calculated that the Boundless World has been plotting against me in recent years, but the secrets of heaven are in chaos, and I cannot calculate it. I am afraid that the saints of the Boundless World, together with those three Hunyuan, have rebelled against the secrets of heaven."
Although Meng Fan's cultivation was extraordinary, he couldn't calculate the specifics of what had happened because the other party had jointly disrupted the heavenly secrets.
It was like a dozen babies fighting a strong man for food. The babies knew they were no match for him, so they smashed the food, leaving no one with any. This made Meng Fan feel very frustrated.
The secrets of heaven are in chaos. Even if Meng Fan's cultivation is high, he probably cannot recreate the secrets of heaven. This is almost the same as recreating a perfect heavenly way.
"Zhou Qi and Wu Dong have made invaluable contributions to the Evil God World and the Extreme Mountain World over the years. I hereby declare that from now on, the two of you may join the Cloud Palace. I hope you will work hard."
The two men quickly kowtowed and replied, "We will swear to be loyal to you to the death and never change our minds."
"Your purpose in going out this time is to plunder immortal crystals. Our Cloud Palace has no need for mediocre people. Everything is measured by the amount of immortal crystals. We will conduct a competition every ten thousand years and select the top ten. I will give a private talk to them."
The crowd was very enthusiastic upon hearing this, as the implications of a solo sermon were self-evident.
Especially the people of Yunxiao Palace, they heard that Xiong Ba, Cao Zhengchun and the other four had been able to stand out from the crowd because they had received private lectures from Meng Fan in the past, and the benefits of that were self-evident.
"Since you are all alright, you may all leave now."
"We take our leave." The group bowed and departed one after another.
Meng Fan returned to the Cloud Palace and meditated on the universe. During this time, he was restless and had a feeling that he was being plotted against.
He used his authority in the Qingxuan World to calculate repeatedly, but he didn't find anything useful.
The secrets of heaven were in complete chaos, and Meng Fan knew that this was because someone had used great supernatural powers to disrupt the secrets of heaven.
If the Qingxuan World were to develop for another few hundred million years, or if his cultivation were to make another breakthrough, he might actually be able to see the whole story. Unfortunately, it seems the enemy doesn't want to give him that much time.
However, he did not feel any disappointment. This feeling of being out of control was hard-won. Since some clowns were ignorant of their own limitations and wanted to anger him, they should be prepared to be retaliated against.
"We still can't underestimate the people of the world. Although those saints are not that great, their immeasurable worlds are vast, and their power of the Heavenly Dao must be much stronger. Interesting, really interesting," Meng Fan muttered to himself.
Tribulations are caused by the Great Dao. As long as one has not reached the realm of the Great Dao, everything will be affected by its will.
However, Meng Fan was highly skilled and daring. This tribulation was aimed at him, and the Boundless World was merely a pawn of the Great Dao. Meng Fan did not take the threat of the Boundless World seriously.
If you really push him too far, he could go to the Boundless World alone and smash it open. Even the Heavenly Dao would be helpless against that. However, the sins he would commit would be too great. The destruction of a world would cause countless lives to perish. The karmic consequences of such actions would accumulate and be detrimental to his cultivation.
The sage is not benevolent; he treats all things as straw dogs.
This does not mean that sages are cold-hearted and lack benevolence, but rather that sages should have no biased feelings and treat everyone equally.
Everyone has emotions, joys and sorrows, and happiness and anger. Unless absolutely necessary, Meng Fan will not cause widespread bloodshed.
However, if the Boundless World goes too far, then he can't be blamed; he could even do the feat of tearing apart the Heavenly Dao World with his bare hands.
Those who oppose him either submit, die, or suffer a fate worse than death; the world of Heaven is no exception!
In a peach orchard in the Qingxuan World, Lin Xiu sat in the courtyard, opposite an old man with white hair and a youthful face.
The old man exuded no aura whatsoever, and Lin Xiu could only see him with his eyes. If he used his divine sense, he would not be able to detect that there was this person in front of him at all.
Lin Xiu understood that the old man in front of him had a much higher cultivation level than him, but he didn't know exactly what level his cultivation was.
"How tragic that the chosen one of destiny has fallen to such a state! Alas! Alas!"
Lin Xiu ignored the old man's taunts and simply asked, "Who exactly are you? Last time you said you could restore my glory and make me a true chosen one of destiny. Is that true?"
The old man stroked his beard and laughed, "You don't need to know who we are. You only need to know that in front of us, a Quasi-Saint is like an ant."
Lin Xiu's pupils dilated in shock. "You're a saint?!" he exclaimed.
The old man chuckled and said, "To be precise, I am a Primordial Golden Immortal, not a saint."
