A deafening voice came from the first row; it was the Sun Cult Leader speaking.
His expression was very serious, and his shout echoed in all directions, silencing all the members of the Sun lineage.
By this time, after a night of great activity, and with everyone having chosen their positions, it was almost noon.
"This distance is so far, we can't even see the Demon Lord's figure clearly. Will this trip be a waste?" the friend whispered in the boy's ear.
"Don't overthink it. What you can think of, the Demon Lord can surely calculate as well. Let's just wait quietly," the boy replied in a low voice, his expression solemn.
As the sun reached the center of the world, a clear and ethereal voice came from the center of Tang Valley, as if the Great Dao was whispering, instantly clearing everyone's minds and focusing their attention.
“Mount Sumeru is also a mustard seed, a moment is also eternity. I am here, and I am also in the universe, becoming infinite.”
The moment these words were spoken, everyone felt the space shift, as if it had been divided into countless layers, with a Zhou Qing existing in each layer, sitting right in front of each person.
At this moment, the order of seating seemed to have lost all meaning, because everyone seemed to be sitting in the first row in front of Zhou Qing.
In reality, Zhou Qing merely disrupted the space with the Chaotic Ancient Great Dao to try and make everyone feel like they were in the first row. In fact, the outer layer was less powerful than the Daoist aura felt by those in the true first row.
"If you are willing to come here to listen to my teachings, you will receive a gift from me. Even those who are completely bewildered by the great principles I preach will gain something from them."
At this moment, Zhou Qing spoke again, and in an instant, the heavens and earth trembled violently, the Great Dao shook, and countless golden lotuses rained down like torrential rain, falling on everyone. Some people with lower cultivation levels couldn't help but groan in comfort.
This golden lotus is the Great Dao Golden Lotus, one of the most common celestial phenomena, but the Great Dao Golden Lotus that Zhou Qing invoked is different from the Great Dao Golden Lotus that appears in ordinary phenomena.
Zhou Qing commanded this world to condense its own essence, and this golden lotus of the Great Dao contained extraordinary mysteries. For mortals, it had the ability to strengthen the body, eliminate all diseases, and evolve the power of life.
For cultivators, it can also help them gain some understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, temporarily enhancing their Dao sense for a period of time, so that more people can understand what they are saying.
"The Tao is the origin of heaven and earth, the mother of all things, the collection of rules followed by all living beings, and the beginning and end of all logic, concepts, abstractions, and images. Therefore, all living beings seek the Tao."
One after another, golden sacred characters condensed from the earth-shaking tremors, forming one after another Great Dao symbols in the sky, imprinting the mysteries of heaven and earth, the vicissitudes of the universe, and the combination of human cultivation and the essence of the universe.
Zhou Qing spoke at a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow, slowly recounting all his insights and reflections from this period of time.
He has deeply comprehended the countless books left by the Sun Emperor in his palace at the Fusang Divine Tree, the countless books of the Taiyin Sect of the Golden Crow Clan, and the countless books that Zhou Qing possessed in the Big Dipper.
He gathered the opinions of many schools of thought, combined them with his own practical practice, took the essence and discarded the dross, understood the changes of the past and present, and formed his own school of thought. He already had a profound and unimaginable foundation in the eyes of others.
At this time
He started from the basics of cultivators seeking the Dao, and went on to talk about Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and all kinds of changes in the world. He also touched on time and space, making him an encyclopedia among cultivators. He had a high-level perspective and unique, profound and even essential insights into the basics.
In less than a day, one powerful aura after another soared into the sky, breaking through realms and comprehending the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.
This process lasted for seven days and seven nights. Because Zhou Qing not only gave each person a golden lotus of the Great Dao before preaching, but also gave a sermon with heavenly sounds and profound truths, endless strange phenomena, flowing auspicious colors, and auspicious clouds, and the essence of heaven and earth gathered, so that no mortals felt hungry. Everyone was immersed in the Great Dao and could not extricate themselves.
Countless people have broken through their cultivation levels because of this, and countless others have escaped the sea of suffering and embarked on the path of cultivation. It's simply unimaginable.
"In the world, there are thoughts of following Heaven, thoughts of defying Heaven, thoughts of stealing from Heaven, thoughts of avoiding Heaven, and so on. Those who follow Heaven act in accordance with Heaven's way, daring not to overstep it in the slightest. They establish rules for Heaven and Earth, and control the life, death, punishment, and all causes and effects of all living beings. Although their cultivation is rapid in the early stages, their momentum is slow in the later stages; those who defy Heaven..."
This is the thought of all the great emperors throughout history who severed their paths, which Zhou Qing comprehended. It is also the belief of the strongest group of people in this world throughout history. It contains great terror in the world. Each path has great ambition and can lead to the strongest path in the world.
This was Zhou Qing's sermon, a culmination of his insights into his own spiritual practice, and an exploration of his own path to enlightenment.
Once one breaks through to the level of a sage, one's own laws undergo a complete transformation, signifying that one's path has the qualification to become a unique and independent system.
If one is exceptionally talented, one can create one's own scriptures at this level, thus truly forging one's own path. One's cultivation is verified by one's own methods, and only in this way can one achieve a perfect integration of cultivation and true body.
If you practice other people's scriptures, it's like trying to put someone else's clothes on yourself. Even if it looks comfortable on the surface, it's still much worse than clothes that are truly tailored to you.
At the same time, transforming the scriptures one cultivates into one's own scriptures is also a prerequisite for creating forbidden domains. If the scriptures one cultivates are not one's own, then how can one talk about integrating the secret techniques created with one's own essence, energy, and spirit?
Although Zhou Qing has not yet broken through to the Saint level, he has already begun to organize his accumulated cultivation. All his insights will be transformed into a foundation, allowing him to transcend the path of invincibility and achieve true invincibility.
In the countless spaces he disrupted with the Chaotic Ancient Great Dao, everyone was immersed in the Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao and could not extricate themselves.
However, most people can only go through Zhou Qing's teachings once in their minds at this time. After he finishes speaking, most people will let the teachings go in one ear and out the other, and it will be difficult for them to truly make these gains their own.
There's no way around it. The path of cultivation is one in a million, and it places great emphasis on aptitude and comprehension. If you want to make these gains your own, then during Zhou Qing's lectures, you can't just immerse yourself in the Great Dao. You also need to draw inferences from one instance to another and evolve your own Dao from what Zhou Qing is teaching.
For example, the Sun Saintess, Zhou Qing once demonstrated the aspect of the combination of the sun and moon, representing the combination of the real and the unreal, for her, but she never learned it.
In this atmosphere of preaching, coupled with the baptism of Dao blood she had undergone, her physique was now extraordinary and she was very close to the Dao. The world she saw was no longer the same as before.
Thus, one can see her moving one hand in the small space, as if wielding a sword, exuding a sharp aura.
Suddenly, a void was torn open in front of her. It was indeed an invisible sword, devoid of any aura or magical power, yet it created a crack in space.
Chapter 237 Seeking the Sacred Realm of Taiqing
This is not the only example; besides the Sun Maiden, many others have achieved unimaginable gains.
For example, the Sun Cult Master suddenly burst forth with incomparably brilliant solar light, which transformed into nine golden divine rings around him, dazzling and radiant, containing incomparably powerful energy.
With just this one change, Zhou Qing knew that the Sun Sect Master's combat power had increased once again, making him an existence on par with Feng Yuan of the Human King Palace. He was a half-step Dao Slayer with seven forbidden techniques, a level that most sect leaders could not reach.
In addition, Dao Qingling moved her hands in front of her, and thousands of beams of immortal light flew out from her body. Under her control, the beams of immortal light gradually gathered into the shape of a spiritual medicine.
This is a jade lotus. Inside the huge lotus seedpod are nine lotus seeds as big as chicken eggs, crystal clear, green as jade, and even a refreshing fragrance permeates the space.
"This is... a creation from the void?" Zhou Qing looked at this scene with surprise.
This is not a manifestation of an anomaly, but a real spiritual herb, one that is alive and imbued with spirituality!
And more importantly, it was created out of thin air!
This is different from the flowers, grasses, and trees that grow by absorbing the power of the earth when a cultivator is fighting, and it is also different from the strange phenomena such as golden lotuses that appear around a cultivator when casting spells.
This is a plant life that was entirely constructed by Dao Qingling using its own magical power, and it is capable of reproduction, growth, and withering.
“Her path to creation has actually reached this point. If nothing unexpected happens, she will definitely break through to the next level within a few years,” Zhou Qing speculated.
Although this jade lotus is just an ordinary spiritual herb with little life essence, and only cultivators below the Dao Palace Secret Realm would use such a spiritual herb, it can still be called a miracle.
But Zhou Qing knew that her journey to this point was a natural one.
Dao Qingling cultivates the Natural Imperial Scripture passed down by the Great Emperor of the Divine Continent Dynasty. She builds her foundation on the Great Dao of Nature and has profound insights into the myriad things in heaven and earth, clouds, wind, mist, and rosy clouds.
The relationship between nature and creation is extremely close. Dao Qingling is a peerless genius with exceptional talent, the strongest goddess in an imperial clan, and the number one goddess in the Central Plains in this era. With her talent, it was not beyond Zhou Qing's expectations that she could walk the path of creation.
To his surprise, Dao Qingling's progress was too fast. The Great Dao of Creation is no ordinary Great Dao; it is extremely difficult.
Logically speaking, even with imperial potential, it would take her ten years of accumulation to succeed on this path.
"However, she has indeed had a lot of opportunities. Reaching this level at this age, even in ancient stars where the cultivation environment has always been prosperous and has never declined, the fastest cultivators in the contemporary era are about the same, at most half a realm faster than her," Zhou Qing pondered.
Xiaoyu was dressed in white, her expression serene. A dragon and a phoenix circled and soared around her, their cries echoing endlessly.
The phoenix was covered in five-colored divine feathers, and its posture was noble and auspicious, exuding the aura of the ancestor of all birds.
The true dragon shimmered with azure light, breathing in clouds and mist, exuding a noble and majestic aura. Ordinary demonic beasts, under such an aura, could...
None of them had the courage to lay a hand on Xiaoyu.
"Compared to the field evolution of the Dragon Nest, it's just a pool of Immortal Phoenix blood that has lost a lot of Emperor Dao essence, which is somewhat mismatched. It feels like the dragon is strong and the phoenix is weak, which is not good for the future of cultivation," Zhou Qing said, frowning.
"Never mind, I don't need this drop of essence blood anymore anyway. It's perfect for helping her improve her physique and evolve the aura of dragon and phoenix flying together."
Suddenly, a drop of five-colored divine blood flew out from between Zhou Qing's eyebrows. This drop of blood was given to him by the Sun Emperor from his coffin.
This blood originally possessed a power that could crush heaven and earth. Ordinary saints would be devoured by its killing intent, thus suffering eternal damnation. However, the Holy Emperor refined the killing intent within it, leaving behind all the essence of the imperial blood. This single drop contained incredible creation.
However, Zhou Qing's foundation accumulated during his semi-saint stage was already beyond reason, and this drop of immortal phoenix blood essence could hardly cause a transformation for him. So, with a wave of his hand, it fell into Xiao Yu's immortal platform and merged with her primordial spirit.
In an instant, five-colored light illuminated the entire platform, and her primordial spirit suddenly swelled up a size.
A deafening dragon's roar erupted from her primordial spirit, spitting fire and refining it around her, causing her primordial spirit to gradually shrink.
In the end, she was completely transformed, her aura becoming incredibly powerful. Both the strength of her physical body and spirit, as well as their regenerative abilities, reached a new level.
"Right now, Yi Qingwu's potential isn't as great as Xiaoyu's," Zhou Qing remarked with some emotion.
This is a very high evaluation. No matter what, Yi Qingwu is a genius of the Eighth Forbidden Realm. Although her combat strength is not among the top Eighth Forbidden Realm, it is still a realm that billions of living beings cannot reach.
However, Xiaoyu had no shortage of imperial scriptures, nine secrets, and the supreme fortune of evolving physique. Her own talent and comprehension were also quite good.
Therefore, over the years, her cultivation level has increased rapidly, and her combat power has also risen steadily, making her comparable to some living fossils of the Sun lineage.
While Zhou Qing focused his divine sense on the enlightenment achievements of everyone present, his sermon did not end.
The heavens and earth trembled, and one golden holy character after another was imprinted in the void, telling the profound mystery of the essence of cultivation, which fascinated countless people.
A month passed quickly, and Zhou Qing's voice fell silent.
Hundreds of thousands of people awoke from their state of enlightenment, and everyone showed genuine joy.
Cultivators have their gains, and mortals have theirs. Everyone received an incredible opportunity, and no one felt the slightest dissatisfaction. The whole place was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
"I...I've opened up the sea of suffering!" The boy exclaimed excitedly as he looked inside his body.
From the bottom of the Bitter Sea, strands of life essence broke through the pressure of the seawater, opening a narrow passage between the Heaven and Earth above the Bitter Sea.
Although the life essence that emerged was very small, and even divine patterns had not yet formed, it still excited the young man immensely.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the entire world went dark, and the endless light was completely absorbed by one area.
The boy looked up and saw that the golden holy characters imprinted in the void on the Fusang Divine Tree suddenly burst forth with immense power.
Its suction force absorbed all the sacred power of the sun in the world.
Then, each of these golden holy characters became more and more dazzling, and at the same time, they rotated around the Fusang Divine Tree in the sky, just like countless stars were revolving around Zhou Qing.
With a wave of his hand, Zhou Qing sent countless golden holy characters into his hand, forming the shape of a book.
This ancient book even has a gilded cover with four large characters: "True Understanding of Cultivation".
In the Zhou family's library in Beidou, Zhou Qing wrote a book with the same title, but that was written during his period of great power, while this book, "True Explanation of Cultivation," was written by a semi-saint.
The levels of understanding and perspectives are vastly different. This book, "The True Explanation of Cultivation," is more profound and closer to the essence of cultivation than the one by Beidou.
However, once he returns to Beidou, he will naturally replace the family's copy with this brand new one.
"Please leave in an orderly fashion. You may reflect on the content of this sermon from time to time. I believe that each time you reflect, you will gain a different understanding," Zhou Qing said, his voice resounding throughout the surrounding area.
At the same time, the Sun Cult Leader turned around and, together with the living fossils, issued orders one after another, giving instructions at each level. Every member of the clan above the Four Extremes Secret Realm had their own task.
Under the reasonable and orderly arrangement of the upper echelons of the Sun Vein, hundreds of thousands of people returned to various parts of Tang Valley in small streams without any accidents.
Zhou Qing looked at Dao Qingling, beckoned, and Dao Qingling, her divine robes fluttering, drifted past and landed in front of him.
“This is a Primordial Life Stone. Perhaps you are more suited than me to comprehend the Dao it contains.” Zhou Qing took out the Primordial Life Stone obtained from the Human King’s Palace Treasury and handed it to Dao Qingling.
"Primordial Life Stone?! You've been away for a while and you've actually obtained such a treasure. I can feel the Dao of Life contained within the Primordial Life Patterns of this stone. It will indeed be of great help to me, making my Dao of Creation more perfect, thus allowing me to take the final half-step towards the Dao of Severance." Dao Qingling looked at the Primordial Life Stone, her beautiful eyes shining with a strange light.
