Chapter 527 The Primordial Era Chronicles, The Primordial Historian
Chapter 586 The Primordial Era Chronicles, The Primordial Historian
This three-thousand-word text is no exaggeration to say that it is groundbreaking throughout history, but when Luo Zu held it in his hands and read it superficially, he felt that it was nothing special, not even as good as the Supreme Pure Heart Sutra given by the Sage of Taiqing.
Now, Luo Zu has cultivated the Supreme Pure Heart Sutra to 360 characters, reaching perfection. The next step is nine characters, which is enough to be comparable to the Taiyi Great Power with a pure heart.
Now, when Luo Zu recalls the Tao Te Ching from his memory, it is not a remarkable doctrine. Compared to his current level of Taoist cultivation, it is nothing. Compared to the scriptures created by Taiyi Daluo, it is merely like a firefly seeing the sun and moon. Even in some eras of the myriad heavens and earths in the sea of Luo Zu's mind, similar doctrines were born.
Like in those novels from my past life, where someone brings the Tao Te Ching to a certain world and it becomes a peerless scripture that can be used to achieve the pinnacle of cultivation, that would probably be very difficult.
Of course, this is only the result of observation based on Luo Zu's current realm and cultivation. If he had just arrived and had not yet become a true immortal, but had just reached the Dao, he would definitely regard it as the standard.
Ultimately, it is the essence of a civilization and an era, and there are bound to be many valuable lessons to be learned.
The Tao Te Ching that the Celestial Venerable of Morality has given us now, although it is only three thousand words long, clearly explains the profound principles of nature and has the effect of calming the mind and relieving calamity. It is really good for calming the mind and relieving calamity. But can this Tao Te Ching really make so many Golden Immortals of the Jie Sect seal themselves in their caves and quietly recite the Tao Te Ching?
That all depends on the individual.
Even the Celestial Venerable of Morality can only manage things in this way. As an outsider, he shouldn't interfere too much. If Xuandu needs his advice, he can only offer a few reminders, but he really can't interfere in other matters.
"The Heavenly Venerable's wondrous method, if one attains the Dao, will surely comprehend the complete truth." Luo Zu praised in front of Xuan Du.
Xuandu, however, did not tolerate his teacher's words and bluntly stated, "This method is far inferior to the Supreme Pure Heart Sutra."
This method is far inferior to the Supreme Pure Heart Sutra.
"..." Luo Zu did not agree. Not just anyone could say such things. One should still show respect to a sage.
"If one focuses intently on this method, one may become obsessed with it, thus allowing one to calm the mind within the cave and remain untainted by worldly distractions," Luo Zu then instructed.
"Hmm, that makes sense." Xuan Du pondered for a while, immersing himself in the thought, and felt that Luo Zu was right.
It seems I've misunderstood my teacher a lot.
This Tao Te Ching has now been delivered to Duobao Daoren, who will distribute it to the disciples of the Jie Sect throughout the prehistoric world.
Many of the disciples of the Jie Sect have now left the mountain and returned to their respective homes, where they lord it over others.
To be honest, the way Xuandu and the others restricted their disciples was somewhat contrary to the natural law of the prehistoric world, which is the law of the jungle.
The primordial world has existed for countless years. Although there have been several great calamities, including several cosmic collapses and mass extinctions, we have managed to survive them all. In addition, there are powerful clans like the Lich King who rule over various regions. Logically, order should have been established, civilization should have spread, and various moral values should have emerged. However, many more regions are still in a primitive and uncivilized stage of drinking raw meat and eating blood.
This situation can ultimately be attributed to the fact that the primordial world was simply too vast, and that space and time were constantly expanding. New races and extinct races were alternating, and many powerful beings were fighting each other. In fact, many races had always spent their long or short lives in constant uncertainty.
In short, this is a mess. Unless a sage goes against the natural laws of the primordial world and directly implants many moral concepts into the minds of all living beings in the primordial world, whether old or new, they will all be instilled with such concepts.
Otherwise, there is absolutely no possibility of achieving world harmony.
But if we really did that, the prehistoric world would lose its biodiversity, and it might even prematurely enter the final stage of the universe's development, the end of the Dharma and the end of the calamity.
Therefore, even sages would not do it, nor would many people with great supernatural powers dare to do it.
"The task of educating the people in the primordial world is arduous and has a long way to go." Xuandu sighed deeply after listening to Luo Zu's eloquent speech.
He was also born from nature, but He was the only individual of His own kind and had no peers. However, this did not prevent Him from feeling sad about the disastrous state of education in the prehistoric world.
However, Luo Zu felt that Xuan Du still needed to attend to his own affairs first, especially the important matter of the division of the family that the three sages might be about to attend.
Especially given that the three sages might not intervene in this matter and will let it develop as it may, how should their disciples respond?
Luo Zu did not keep his doubts to himself and told Xuan Du about them.
Although Xuandu thought it was impossible, since the three Heavenly Venerables were all sitting in Kunlun Mountain, after careful deduction, he felt that there was some possibility. So he immediately went to invite Duobao and Guangchengzi, the two second-generation disciples of the Chan and Jie sects, to take charge.
In fact, Xuandu didn't need to get involved. After all, the Taiqing Sage had the fewest disciples, and Xuandu was the only one at the moment. He didn't establish a sect like Yuqing or Shangqing, and only had one Doushuai Palace.
But this is precisely where His advantage lies in doing this.
Because everyone will feel that His starting point is not for the Tushita Palace, but also for the Chan Sect and the Jie Sect, the grudges between the two sects will be much less.
Luo Zu also participated in the discussion. Although he was an outsider, everyone felt that he had the most right to speak from his perspective.
After all, he had a close relationship with Xuandu and others.
The discussion took place in Xuandu's cave dwelling, which was located below the Doushuai Palace on a small peak in the Kunlun Mountains.
The attendees were not only Guang Chengzi and Duobao Daoren, but also Jinling Shengmu and Guiling Shengmu from the Jie Sect. Zhao Gongming, the eldest disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect, also came. Antarctic Immortal Weng and Randeng Daoren from the Chan Sect also took time out of their busy schedules to send a wisp of their thoughts. Taiyi Zhenren also came in his true form.
At this moment, Xuandu's small cave dwelling has gathered many pillars who will become the backbone of the prehistoric land.
Luo Zu joined him in this grand undertaking and deeply believed that it was worth recording so that a complete chronicle of the primordial era could be written in the future.
"I deeply sympathize with Fellow Daoist Luo Zu's concerns, which is why I have invited all my fellow disciples to discuss how to resolve this matter." Xuan Du addressed Luo Zu directly at the outset.
Although Luo Zu had many distracting thoughts at the moment, he was also focused on the meeting. After all, he wanted to write a prehistoric chronicle, just like his Classic of Mountains and Seas, which he was serious about.
Unfortunately, the Classic of Mountains and Seas can only be written about the Kunlun Mountains in depth now, since thoughts and consciousness cannot leave the mountains, so other places cannot be observed.
Writing the prehistoric chronicles was simpler. Some things were heard from others, some were oral legends. No matter what, he recorded them all. After all, his "later generation" Sima Qian did the same thing, so what was wrong with his ancestor doing so?
Let's be role models.
Of course, all the great beings of the primordial world have the means to travel through time and space. If his Chronicle of the Primordial World is too distorted in terms of history, he may suffer a wave of dimensional reduction attacks. Therefore, he must be cautious about this matter.
For example, the meeting in front of us could very well change the future landscape of the primordial world, so Luo Zu recorded it truthfully and documented the scene.
After hearing Xuandu's words, the most senior member of the group, Daoist Ran Deng, glanced at Luo Zu and then slowly said, "In my opinion, there is no need to interfere too much in this matter. I foresee that in the future, the disciples of the three Heavenly Venerables will inevitably leave Kunlun Mountain and establish their own sects. Therefore, we should let nature take its course and not interfere with such laws."
As He spoke, He also revealed some of the future time-space tributaries that He had observed.
Although the Dao Ancestor set up laws in the river of time, it is not that he cannot see the future. Some of the near future and some of the distant future can still be observed. Moreover, the higher the realm, the more future can be observed.
The Burning Lamp Daoist's cultivation level is not low, and he has now reached the gate of Wuji. He is only one small step away from becoming a Wuji Free Person.
The words of the Taoist Ran Deng naturally displeased the disciples of the Three Saints, who were all one family.
Xuandu then said directly, "The three sages are of the same origin. How can they be divided because of us? This is absolutely unacceptable, and I will never agree to it."
Seeing His excitement, the Taoist Ran Deng was not angry. He simply smiled and did not offer any further response.
"Sages are harmonious yet different. Senior Brother Xuandu, please do not act impulsively, lest you harm the harmony among the three sages," the Antarctic Immortal advised with a wry smile.
However, none of the other three disciples offered any words of advice, clearly pondering what the Daoist Burning Lamp had said.
In fact, most of the disciples of the Jie Sect present had already gone down the mountain to establish their own dojos, maintaining a close but distant relationship with Kunlun Mountain. They were just one step away from announcing it to the outside world, which would be considered as establishing their own sect.
Therefore, the words of the Burning Lamp Taoist made them somewhat uncomfortable, as if he was mocking their Jie Sect.
"Cultivation is about cultivating one's nature, cultivating one's mind, and cultivating the complete truth. What the Burning Lamp Master said is correct. Everyone should cultivate themselves and seek their own complete truth. Each should look after their own interests. Why should we help each other? Besides, all living beings must become independent and self-reliant when they reach adulthood. We cultivators are even more independent than the living beings in the world. Why should we be entangled in disputes, create rifts between us, and treat each other as enemies? Don't you agree?" Zhao Gongming's words were completely flat, without any fluctuation or emotion, but his anger was undisguised.
As for the title "Master of the Burning Lamp Daoist Sect," the main reason is that after the Jade Purity Saint established the Chan Sect, he bestowed this title upon Him.
It is said that Daoist Ran Deng followed Him the longest, and in his early years, Daoist Ran Deng was one of the three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace. Sage Yuqing had always refused to accept him as a disciple, and addressed him as a fellow Daoist for a long time. Later, because of his sincerity, he made him the vice leader of Chan Sect.
Ran Deng listened to Zhao Gongming's undisguised disgust and anger, but he was not angry; he simply smiled calmly.
Zhao Gongming, the eldest disciple of the Jie Sect, has always been very powerful and imposing. He was like this back in the days of the immortal sect. He always followed the path of dominance in his conduct and actions. Only his three younger sisters acted more gently, balancing him and harmonizing the yin and yang, so that they would not be betrayed by the disciples of the immortal sect.
Now that he has joined the Jie Sect, his behavior has not changed much. In addition, many disciples in the Chan Sect have also transferred from the immortal sects, so they have a lot of respect for Zhao Gongming.
This also made the deputy leader, Daoist Ran Deng, quite unhappy.
However, despite his displeasure, he was still a great supernatural being, so how could he let such emotions affect his cultivation and actions, nor would he let such a trivial matter affect what he was doing at this moment?
The main reason He said this was that He understood the intentions of the three Heavenly Venerables, and that the division of the three saints was inevitable.
Indeed, the three Celestial Venerables have tacitly approved of this outcome.
