Honghuang: The chat group is full of big shots

Chapter 298 The Masters Preach the Dharma!

Throughout this battle, Emperor Taiyi maintained his independence as the Emperor.

Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the human race will ultimately reap the greatest benefits.

After all, all the various schools of thought were within the human race.

But now he has received a reminder from Fang Xun.

Lecture Room of One Hundred Schools?

This is an opportunity for the human race to rapidly increase its strength.

Without a doubt, these will be the first batch of truly powerful individuals to emerge after the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Dao in the Investiture of the Gods.

All the philosophers of the Hundred Schools of Thought possessed the potential to attain the Great Luo realm, and their potential even exceeded that!

They will be the pioneers of the new era of Taoism, and will be as brilliant as the innate deities who preached at Zixiao Palace back then!
"Then let's begin." Taiyi nodded slightly, raised his hand and grasped the Human Emperor Seal at his waist, activating the power of humanity.

Rumble!
The entire primordial world seemed to tremble slightly, and the human destiny gathered, causing all living beings in the primordial world to feel a jolt in their hearts.

"Today, the philosophers of all schools of thought have attained enlightenment. Therefore, we have opened the Ascension Platform to invite them to give lectures!"

Not just humans, but all races of the primordial world!

The current human way has long been the way of all living beings, including humans, innate beings, witches, demons, dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and other races.

Therefore, this was a grand event for the entire prehistoric world.

The Ascending Heaven Platform was used by the Human Emperor to ascend the throne, and the Human Emperor Taiyi was also very magnanimous, directly taking it out to preach to the various schools of thought.

It's no exaggeration to say that the upcoming lecture on the Hundred Schools Forum, combined with the previous discussion on "Tao," will be a new era of lectures at Zixiao Palace!

Many of those who survived that era, or those who died once and finally returned, had some感慨 (feelings/reflections).

"Is the Zixiao Palace preaching in the new era?" The Sage of Taiqing sensed the surge of human fortune and smiled slightly.

"No, this is not a lecture at Zixiao Palace, but a discussion among the philosophers!" Fang Xun rejected the analogy of a lecture at Zixiao Palace.

There's no other reason than that it's considered unlucky.

The discussions at Zixiao Palace at that time were not pure at all.

However, this lecture series was a grand event that he and Hong Yi and others put a lot of effort into organizing.

"Let's just start, what are we waiting for?" Meng Qi didn't want to wait for the three thousand yuan gathering.

Therefore, he directly lifted one of the restrictions on the Primordial General Knowledge Network.

Live broadcast? Immersive experience? Mind projection? They're all pretty much the same, enough to let everyone in the entire prehistoric world experience this debate up close!
hum!
At that very moment, Emperor Taiyi appeared directly on the Ascension Platform. As he stepped onto the platform, nearly a hundred figures gradually emerged.

The number of schools of thought among the various philosophers was uncertain, and there were often discussions and mergers. The leaders of those schools that exist today have all come here.

"Please, fellow Daoists, descend and together create a prosperous era!" Emperor Taiyi said softly towards the outside of the Ascension Platform.

boom!
Hundreds or even thousands of Great Luo Immortals immediately descended upon the Ascension Platform and occupied advantageous positions.

With the return of those innate saints who died in the Lich War, and the continuous increase in the number of Great Luo Immortals in recent years, the current number of Great Luo Immortals in the prehistoric world has long exceeded five thousand, but the exact number is uncertain.

What would it feel like to have thousands of Great Luo descending at the same time?
The chaos of spacetime and time, and the unconscious clash of Da Luo's wills, caused ripples in the river of time, giving rise to countless possibilities for the future.

However, all of this quieted down under the gaze of Emperor Taiyi. With the blessing of the Emperor's Seal, he had enough strength to keep the situation under control.

Besides the first batch of Great Luo Immortals, more Great Luo Immortals arrived one after another. They also remembered the last discussion on the Dao, where many people missed the most crucial insights, which they still regret to this day.

hum!
The earth seemed to crack open, and a group of tall, wildly dressed giants emerged from it. They slowly shrank and took up a place on the platform.

All the Great Luo Immortals of the Witch Clan have arrived!
Next up is the Heavenly Court!
A beam of light suddenly shone down, and Fuxi and Bai Ze descended with the gods belonging to the Heavenly Court.

Following that are the dragon, phoenix, and qilin, representing the great teachings of the sages.

"There are just too many Great Luo Immortals." Many visitors from various realms were deeply shocked.

Even in Ye Fan's world, there are only a handful of Immortal Emperors, but in this primordial world, there are many Great Luo Immortals, and they are quite common, having lost their veil of mystery.

"Currently, the number of Great Luo Immortals in the Primordial World... including those who were resurrected from the dead by their innate, indestructible spiritual light, is probably over five thousand. After this Dao discussion, it will likely exceed six thousand?"

Fang Xun was calculating.

Meng Qi, who was standing next to him, twitched at the corner of his mouth.

On this point, there's no way to criticize the Primordial Era, and it's far from reaching its limit; its numbers will continue to increase.

If the primordial world continues to evolve, the number of Quasi-Saints will explode, and even the number of Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortals will rise rapidly in the future.

"To achieve the most perfect state, we still need to clear the landmines planted by Hongjun."

The flaw in the Great Luo realm—if this problem isn't solved, there won't be a shortage of Great Luo Quasi-Saints in the prehistoric world, but the number of Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals will be extremely difficult to increase.

"There's still some time," Fang Xun calculated, feeling confident he could win!
“Those guys have made a move too.” Meng Qi suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at the sky above the Deer Chase Field.

From the West came Lingshan and celestial projections, while from the East came Taiqing Temple, Yuxu Palace, and Biyou Palace.

Following them are several people above the Heavenly Court hierarchy, such as Wang Chao, Jiang Nan, and the Empress.

Then came Nuwa and Houtu.

The presence of these beings appeared in the void surrounding the Ascension Platform, expressing their support for this discourse and teaching.

"The whole world is in an uproar! This scene is far more spectacular than the one at Zixiao Palace back then!" Fang Xun's eyes lit up.

The gathering of three thousand innate deities at Zixiao Palace is nothing compared to the present situation.

"Please summon the Supreme Lord Li Er!"

Just then, Fang Xun suddenly heard the voice of Emperor Taiyi.

Clearly, Fang Xun, as the one who initiated the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought, was the first person who should preach the Dharma.

"I'm off!" Fang Xun transformed into Li Er, a green ox appeared beneath him, and he rode on purple mist!

Purple energy swept across half of the primordial world, and the Daoist essence of the Dao Fruits of the primordial heavens was felt by all.

Moo!
A bull's roar resounded, and boundless purple energy suddenly descended from the heavens, forming a bridge that carried the green bull to the Ascension Platform.

"Having met with fellow Daoists, I have gained some insights today, and I will now speak about the Tao Te Ching."

It is the Tao Te Ching, but it is not the simple Tao Te Ching anymore. In essence, it is a higher-level exposition of the Dao Fruit of the Primordial Heavens created by Fang Xun in the identity of Li Er.

hum!
Purple clouds drift eastward for billions of miles, and countless lotus blossoms bloom in the void!
Heaven, sensing the need for divine intervention, bestowed upon them full favor.

Fang Xun's recitation of the Tao Te Ching was very short, less than three thousand words, but the rain of merit never stopped.

"I've only offered this as a starting point, please excuse my poor performance." Fang Xun didn't actually have a method of performance, and it didn't take long before he quickly handed the stage over to the various schools of thought.

Because Fang Xun had previously produced a treatise on the Dao, the theme this time was actually a treatise on Dharma. It was a new Dharma created by the various schools of thought based on the Dao.

"Please invite Confucius."

The valiant Confucius stood on the Heavenly Platform, and even in the face of the gazes of thousands of Great Luo Immortals, Quasi-Saints, and even Saints and Primordial Great Luo Golden Immortals, he was able to remain calm, his face as still as a lake.

After obtaining the true spirit of another Confucius, his realm has reached a limit, and he may advance to the Great Luo level at any time, or even walk a long distance directly.

Therefore, he felt quite at ease in front of these listeners.

"I possess the Six Arts of a Gentleman, and I invite my fellow Daoists to evaluate them."

The Six Arts are rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. These arts may not have existed in the prehistoric world, but they are a reconstruction based on the Dao and are more suitable for the future prehistoric world.

The Great Luo Immortals present were certainly not fools. In fact, since the appearance of the Dao, they had been improving their supernatural powers to adapt to the new Dao.

But Confucius, as one of the sons of his time, was naturally extraordinary, able to propose some entirely new theories and applications.

For example, "etiquette".

"Hmm?" Emperor Taiyi suddenly frowned, sensing that something seemed to have changed within himself.

But the next moment he realized that it wasn't him, but the identity of the Human Emperor!

Correspondingly, there seemed to be a strange power surging within Confucius.

"Is this 'divine strike'?" Hong Yi blinked and looked at Fang Xun with a smile.

Fang Xun is definitely an expert in this field.

“It’s not ‘divine intervention,’ but rather a kind of…” Fang Xun frowned slightly, as if searching for a more suitable description.

“…Sequence!” Fang Xun’s eyes lit up. “With the Human Emperor as the apex, the human destiny as the foundation, and the abdication system as the framework, something similar to a sequence has been created.”

"He incorporated genuine etiquette into this sequence, creating an extremely cohesive system."

"The Human Emperor Sequence?" Meng Qi chuckled, "How did you come up with something like this?"

"Did Confucius have contact with Xiao Zhou or other similar celestial cultivators?"

Clearly, he believed that this strange law was inextricably linked to the heavens.

"It does not conflict with the immortal system. Walking on this system will give you extra human fortune out of thin air. This method is wonderful."

“Perhaps, it’s not impossible for Taiyi to fight Daluo!” Hong Yi quickly grasped the internal connection.

The blessing of humanity and good fortune is something that ordinary people cannot obtain, but Confucius's rites broke through this limitation.

"More importantly, it provides a way of thinking: if we can have the Human Emperor sequence today, we can have the Heavenly Dao Origin sequence tomorrow."

"Everyone receives the blessing of the Heavenly Dao's origin?" Fang Xun's brow twitched slightly.

The origin of the Heavenly Dao is usually only accessible to sages and Dao ancestors, but it seems that this monopoly can be broken now?
Not only Fang Xun and his group, but all the other Great Luo Immortals also recognized the power of this "etiquette".

Almost simultaneously, the human destiny transformed into a golden radiance, enveloping Confucius.

“I have not been weakened, and I have even gained the power of a Great Luo…” Taiyi fell silent.

Many of the Great Luo Immortals were getting restless and couldn't help but look at the place where the Sages were with awe.

The origin of the Heavenly Dao is inexhaustible; even sages and Dao Ancestors cannot fully utilize it…

If the Dao Ancestors and Sages were willing to relent, the overall strength of the Primordial World could immediately surge to a new level.

"Heaven... principle?" Fang Xun raised an eyebrow slightly.

"My understanding of etiquette is far from perfect, and I am willing to explore it together with my fellow Daoists."

Confucius solemnly bowed to Emperor Taizong and slowly withdrew.

"Next up, please welcome Mozi," Taiyi said quickly.

"Today I will only preach one law, and that is to honor the worthy." Mozi did not waste any more words.

The experimental subject was still Emperor Taiyi, which left him somewhat bewildered. Were they just trying to fleece the Emperor?!

However, after the Shangxian Dao Fa was performed, a sacred and majestic aura inexplicably appeared on Mozi, even stronger than that on Confucius before!

Mozi slightly raised his hand, which naturally activated the human destiny!

"Seeing a group of dragons without a leader is auspicious!" Hong Yi suddenly exclaimed upon seeing this Shangxian Fa.

Everyone can be a human emperor; this is the highest realm of meritocracy!
This is truly at odds with Confucius's principles of propriety!

Of course, as far as Hong Yi is concerned, he prefers Shang Xian, after all, a group without a leader is like a dragon among men, which coincides with his own vision of the other shore.

“It is indeed good, but I feel like it’s going a bit astray?” Meng Qi suddenly said, which alerted Fang Xun and Hong Yi.

"It seems that we rely too much on external forces and neglect our own cultivation. This is suitable for the current human race and the prehistoric world, and can help us cope with the immeasurable calamities of the future, but it is not what I like."

Meng Qi's reasons were quite valid, and Fang Xun also sensed the problem.

"This is indeed a big problem." Fang Xun couldn't think of a better solution for the time being.

"We can discuss this issue later; this is only the second one." Hong Yi was more optimistic, or rather, more optimistic about the various schools of thought.

"Then let's wait for the next one..." Fang Xun had just finished speaking when a disheveled and slovenly Taoist suddenly appeared on the Heavenly Ascension Platform.

"My name is Zhuang Zhou." The Taoist priest glanced at the listeners, his expression calm, as if he were looking at a pile of grass and trees.

"I disagree with the first two statements; spiritual practice depends more on oneself."

Taiyi looked at the Taoist priest and let out a soft exclamation, discovering that his level of understanding was no less than that of Confucius and Mozi!
"Let me tell you about Xiaoyao."

The appearance of Zhuangzi seemed to be a wonderful accident; Taiyi hadn't even prepared to ask him to preach.

However, this strange man, who had been hiding in the stone cave for countless eons, felt something, woke up, and happened to come here. On a whim, he decided to share his insights.

"The carefree are those who are unrestrained, without cause or effect..." Zhuang Zhou slumped onto the Heavenly Platform, closed his eyes, and suddenly transformed into a seven-colored butterfly.

The butterfly fluttered its wings slightly, and in an instant it arrived at Mount Ling; in another instant, it appeared in the North Sea.

"Hiss!" Many of the Great Luo couldn't help but gasp.

Transcending time and space is nothing special; even those above the Great Luo level can achieve this. But Zhuang Zhou is currently a Taiyi Golden Immortal and hasn't crossed that threshold yet!
But he has already achieved omnipresence!
“Not only…” Fang Xun suddenly laughed, never expecting that the person he hadn’t taught back then had reached this point.

To travel from the North Sea in the morning to Cangwu in the evening—this is far from Zhuangzi's limit.

The butterfly suddenly transformed into a Kunpeng, whose size was unknown, and plunged into the river of time, swimming upstream!

Space and time are unique!

This is the only cultivator who has transcended all time and space without even reaching the Great Luo Dao Realm!
