I start by marrying Yunxiao, who's in a vegetative state; I'm invincible in the primor

The primordial wilderness, the ancestral land of humankind.

The first training course for the Great Era of Contention has begun.

Cultivators gathered, including the Tongtian Sect Master, Styx, Zhen Yuanzi, Kong Xuan, Duobao, the Three Holy Mothers, and many other immortals.

Li Yu did not reveal the specifics of the era of great contention, but instead described a blueprint for a prosperous and thriving age of strife.

The great struggle begins, all living beings are plunged into calamity, and the battle will not be about crushing each other in terms of cultivation level!

It's multifaceted!

To stand out, you need to learn to innovate and have your own core proposition.

Li Yu spoke only to the point, leaving it at that.

Since the Great Conflict had not yet begun, the cultivators were completely confused by what they heard.

Only at the very back of the 'classroom,' by the back door near the window, stood a monk deep in thought.

It is the remnant soul of Pangu, and its Daoist name is Gu Pan.

Pangu's remnant soul seemed to be deep in thought, muttering to itself, "In this age of great contention, a hundred schools of thought contend... a hundred flowers bloom... perhaps what is lacking is a place for debate and competition."

The remnant soul of Pangu already had an idea in mind!

Time flies, and the first session of the Great Competition has officially come to an end.

Li Yu continued preaching throughout the primordial world, saying, "Two and a half months from now, the second session of lectures will begin. All those who are destined to hear the teachings are welcome to come!"

then!

The primordial world is in an uproar!

Countless cultivators rushed to the ancestral land of the human race.

Who wouldn't want to hear the Daoist teachings of the First Emperor? If one could glean even a little insight from them, it would be a huge win!

The Qilin Clan, Phoenix Clan, and Dragon Clan all sent out their most outstanding disciples.

Since Houtu was unable to leave the underworld, she sent Fengdu and the Black and White Impermanence to listen to the lecture.

Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope hidden in the Taoist teachings that Li Yu spoke of!

Even Zhang Kui, Li Jing, and Zhang Guifang, who were already serving in the Heavenly Court, came to listen to the lectures again.

"Emperor Qin Shi Huang! I am Zhang Kui, a student from the first generation of the Shang Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, I am from the second generation."

Therefore, the number of cultivators who came to listen to the teachings in the second session was three thousand!

at the same time.

In the west, Mount Sumeru.

Jieyin and Zhunti looked worried and distressed. "That damned Li Yu is preaching."

"We Westerners should just go and get Li Yu for free!"

"Free access to Li Yu's understanding of the Daoist path!"

"Go quickly! Go quickly!"

Jieyin and Zhunti, along with Bhaisajyaguru, Maitreya, Guanyin, Manjushri, and Samantabhadra, disguised themselves and headed to the ancestral land of the human race.

I missed the second session, so I can only wait for the third session.

Chaos, Purple Cloud Palace.

Hongjun sat quietly on the Dao platform, displeased. "What kind of class are they? They dare to imitate this old Daoist and preach in the primordial world?"

"Li Yu is a man with grand ambitions!"

"As the ruler of humanity, and with this great conflict centered on the human race, Li Yu must know something!"

Hongjun pondered deeply, "Know yourself and know your enemy..."

Hongjun descended from the chaos, preparing to personally investigate Li Yu's true strength and weaknesses!

Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were also busy, and went together to investigate Li Yu's true strength and weaknesses.

We'll just have to wait for the third term to start.

Beiming, the Demon Master's Palace.

Mo Xiaohai followed Randeng and carried the coffin several times, making great contributions.

Randeng didn't treat him badly either, passing on great supernatural powers and spells to him!

Mo Xiaohai returned to the Northern Underworld Demon Master Palace with a beautiful smile.

Then I saw that the cheap teacher was drunk and his eyes were blurry.

"Teacher, wake up!"

Kunpeng woke up groggily, "I'm a little hungry. What delicious food should I bring back for your master?"

"No……"

"Then what did you come back for?"

"Teacher! The First Emperor is preaching about the ancient times, let's go listen to his lecture."

Kunpeng shook his head decisively, "I am a dignified Demon Master! With Di Jun and Tai Yi fallen, I am above all demons. Why would I listen to a mere human preach?"

"No! No!"

"?"

"Really not going?"

"We can't go any further!"

"You're not allowed to go either! I'm hungry. Go get me two roasted lamb legs and a pot of warm wine. I'm going to sleep a little longer."

Mo Xiaohai gritted his teeth, "Eat! Still eating! All you ever do is eat!"

Mo Xiaohai still managed to get a whole roasted lamb and prepared a pot of wine.

Then, he leaped back to the human capital and met with Randeng.

The coffin shop of Ran Deng is the best among humans—the largest, of the highest quality, and with the best business!

Seeing Mo Xiaohai's puzzled expression, Ran Deng asked, "Didn't we give you a holiday?"

"To be honest, I wish to attend a sermon... Could you please write a letter of recommendation, Master?"

Ran Deng smiled calmly and nodded, "Okay."

Ran Deng wrote a letter: "Father, this is my servant. He is very diligent, observant, and hardworking..."

So, Mo Xiaohai went to the ancestral land of the human race with great joy and successfully sat in the first row.

"Principal, I'm from the fifth cohort of the Business School program."

"Principal, I'm from the sixth cohort."

Jieyin and Zhunti also wanted to sneak in, shouting, "Emperor Qin Shi Huang! I'm from the fifteenth class of the Great Shang Dynasty, and I've even listened to your lectures!"

"Damn it! There's another thug here! Throw these two out!"

Jieyin and Zhunti cried out, "Holy crap? Where did we go wrong?"

Xiao Hu and You Sheng, who were in charge of registration, laughed. "You've heard the First Emperor give lectures, so why aren't you called the principal?"

"Still the 15th term?"

"Emperor Qin Shi Huang only taught up to the first ten classes. You, the student in the fifteenth class, have never even heard Emperor Qin Shi Huang preach?"

"A complete fraud! Despicable character, kick him out!"

Jieyin and Zhunti embraced each other and wept bitterly, "We were wrong, we were wrong."

"Being wrong is useless; lying will disqualify you!"

Taiqing and Yuqing were also stopped at the door and not allowed to listen to the teachings!

Hongjun was no exception!

The four sages' faces turned ashen. "Setting up thresholds? What kind of primordial preaching is this?"

"Damn Li Yu! He really deserves to die!"

Hongjun's face darkened, yet he dared not reveal his identity.

The dignified patriarch of Taoism and leader of the Xuanmen (Taoist school) would go to listen to lectures by Xuanmen disciples? Wouldn't that be embarrassing if word got out?

Hongjun had no choice but to give up.

"Meeting at Zixiao Palace!"

Hongjun reopened the Zixiao Palace and issued a decree to the primordial world: "The Zixiao Palace will preach! All those with affinity may come and listen to the teachings!"

Little did they know!

Times have changed!

The ancestral land of humanity, a gathering place for cultivators.

In front of the Zixiao Palace, people were scattered about.

Time is like fine sand.

The calamity energy of the primordial world was quietly surging.

All the cultivators of the primordial world had a premonition that the era of great strife was drawing ever closer!

Until this day!

The great Shang dynasty's capital, Chaoge, was captured by rebellious feudal lords!

The great merchant emperor announced the relocation of the capital to Luoyang.

The great merchant's imperial authority plummeted.

The calamity energy between heaven and earth suddenly surged!

The will of the Great Dao descends: The Age of Great Strife begins!

Rules of the Great Competition:

First, all living beings have two opportunities to enter the tribulation. The first stage is called "Spring and Autumn".

Those who enter the tribulation experience the "Spring and Autumn" debates. When the "Spring and Autumn" ends, the first life of those who enter the tribulation is forcibly terminated. For those who have not entered the tribulation, their first chance is invalidated!

Second, all spirits should participate through the reincarnation of divided souls. (Participation in the Six Paths of Reincarnation)

Third, after reincarnation, all spirits retain their memories, therefore they must conceal their identities themselves, and bear the consequences of their identities being exposed.

Fourth, the rankings in the Great Contest are based on merit and contribution, and are updated daily at noon according to the human calendar.

Fifth, the right to interpret the above belongs to the Great Dao. If there is any objection, you may file a complaint with the Great Dao against any unfairness.

The will of the Great Dao was accurately transmitted into the sea of ​​consciousness of all spirits!

The primordial chaos trembled! A frenzy erupted!

"The age of great strife has arrived!"

"I want to be the champion!"

"I want to be the runner-up!"

"I want to be the third-ranked scholar! I want freedom of destiny!"

Jieyin and Zhunti were extremely excited, "Quickly enter the tribulation!"

The four saints, including Taiqing and Yuqing, each sent a soul to the Netherworld immediately!

A glint of light flashed in Hongjun's eyes, and he too sent a fragment of his soul into the Netherworld!

In an instant! All spirits split into two and rushed to the underworld!

Buzz! The power of the underground passage emerges!

Houtu, clad in a brocade robe, appeared in person to suppress the Netherworld, declaring, "Within the Netherworld! I am the supreme being!"

"The reincarnation of billions of departed souls must not be disturbed!"

Since Houtu does not speak, no one can be reincarnated through the netherworld.

Houtu stood silently in the Netherworld, radiating supreme pressure. None of the Four Sages or even Hongjun dared to challenge Houtu's authority at this moment!

Houtu's gaze seemed to be intentionally searching for Li Yu's fragmented soul, but she couldn't find it. "Li Yu...why isn't he in a hurry to be the first to reincarnate?"

Houtu could only communicate telepathically, asking, "Li Yu, do you need to be the first to reincarnate?"

Li Yu smiled calmly, "It doesn't matter whether I'm reincarnated sooner or later."

"Um!"

Houtu calmly spoke, "The Six Paths of Reincarnation! Open!"

All spirits are divided and their souls are imprisoned in calamity!
