Chapter 668: Great Cause and Effect, Great Fortune
It took Bai Qi only a thousand years to prepare a Taoist temple for Jiang Changsheng. It was located on the highest mountain in the Daluo Immortal Realm. Originally, this place belonged to a Daluo, but when the Daluo heard that the Taoist Ancestor was coming to preach, he immediately cooperated without any complaints.
When Bai Qi was ready, Jiang Changsheng's voice resounded throughout the world:
"I am the ancestor of Taoism. Three thousand years from now, I will preach at Dingtian Peak, and all living beings can come and listen!"
This voice is simple, but full of weight, resounding in the ears of all living beings.
No matter it was the Daluo in the nine heavens or the mortal spirits in the mortal world, they all put down what they were doing and looked up at the sky.
There are also mortal spirits in the Daluo Immortal Realm, but the mortal spirits here have stronger energy and blood than those in the Taiyi Immortal Realm.
Three thousand years is enough time for the immortal cultivators to finish their current affairs and prepare for listening to the teachings.
Many great men came out of retreat and talked to their friends and seniors, hoping to find out information about this preaching. The three saints of the immortal way all became disciples of the Taoist Ancestor. This incident was something that the Daluo people in the Daluo Immortal Realm would never forget.
When they heard that the Taoist Patriarch was going to preach, the first thing they thought of was this.
If you are noticed by the Taoist, you will definitely become the next Daluo God!
Even the Three Saints of Immortality came out of seclusion to try to figure out the purpose of Jiang Changsheng's preaching. Moreover, this sermon was not to be held in Zixiao Palace, so they could not help but think about it.
The Heavenly Palace was also shaken by this. More and more ancient immortals and gods came out of seclusion. Even the Emperor of Heaven showed up and began to select good seedlings in the Heavenly Palace. When the time came, he would take these immortals and gods to sit in the front row, closer to the Taoist Ancestor.
…
Across the vast land, cities are dotted on the surface. Viewed from the sky, it looks like a vast Zhoutian formation, with everything in it and endless Taoist rhyme.
In a most magnificent city, huge monsters are guarding all directions. Countless monster soldiers are like dark clouds covering most of the streets in the city, and they are on high alert.
In a large hall, many transformed demons gathered here.
The leader was the Demon Emperor. He was wearing a golden robe and had an imposing posture. Two wisps of demonic energy formed dragon-like horns on his head. As the demonic energy twisted, it looked extremely evil.
The Demon Emperor looked down upon all the powerful demons in the palace. His indifferent eyes revealed his arrogance. He slowly said, "The Taoist Master is about to give a sermon. Should we go or not?"
An old sheep demon stepped forward and said, "Of course we have to go. We all have to go. We can't miss this opportunity."
His words were agreed by many great demons, but the Demon Emperor was a little hesitant.
"The Dao Ancestor's preaching is definitely different from other preachings. The time is difficult to grasp. If it takes too long, it may be detrimental to the demon race's plan."
The Demon Emperor spoke up and said that this was what he was most worried about.
After achieving the Daluo Divine Appearance, his self-confidence swelled and he didn't feel that he needed another opportunity to listen to teachings. Even though he was not a disciple of the Taoist Ancestor, he had achieved the Daluo Divine Appearance, so he felt that he didn't need anyone's help.
In fact, such rumors are also circulating in the Daluo Immortal Realm. Everyone thinks that the Demon Emperor is the only one who has achieved the Daluo Godhood entirely by himself, which makes his prestige in the demon clan reach an unprecedented level.
A female demon said softly, "Your Majesty, you worry too much. It won't be long before those guys send a ceasefire request. Who wouldn't want the opportunity of being a Taoist ancestor? Your Majesty, you are a Daluo God, so you may not care, but we all do, and so do those demon kings and demon saints."
The monsters all agreed , as they were also afraid that the Demon Emperor would not let them go.
In the demon clan, Daozu also has an irreplaceable position.
The Demon Emperor brought them power, but the Dao Ancestor was the supreme being who led them on the path of cultivation. Even if there was no gain, it would be great to meet the Dao Ancestor.
The Demon Emperor took a look at all the great demons and knew what they were thinking.
He felt a little unhappy. It seemed that in the hearts of the demon clan, Daozu was still higher than him, the Demon Emperor.
After he embarked on the path of cultivation, he had also received the grace of the Divine Traveler of the Great Universe. He was naturally grateful to the Taoist Ancestor, but this gratitude could not dominate him. He wanted to control the entire demon race, so he did not want any other existence to be higher than him in the hearts of the demons.
Even though he was unhappy, it was impossible for him to hate Daozu. What he was thinking about was how to surpass Daozu, at least that was the case in the minds of the demon clan.
Half an hour later.
All the big monsters retreated, and only an old sheep monster was left. Only the head of this old sheep monster retained the original appearance of a sheep. He held a feather fan in his hand, looking extremely cunning.
"Your Majesty, when the Taoist ancestor preaches this time, you must put aside your pride and work hard. This is also for the sake of the demon clan." The old sheep demon sighed.
The Demon Emperor frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Does Daozu want to interfere in the affairs of the demon race?"
He thought of Our Lady of Blessed Source. Could it be that Our Lady of Blessed Source had gone to file a complaint?
The old sheep demon shook his head and said, "Daozu will naturally not care about the demon race. No matter how strong the demon race is, compared with the entire immortal path, it is nothing. But if you get the recognition of Daozu, you will get the recognition of all living beings, no longer just limited to the demon race. The great ambition we are pursuing is extremely difficult, and we need the goodwill of the Daluo."
Although the Demon Emperor is a Daluo God, he has not integrated into the Daluo circle of the immortals, and even has a vague feeling of being excluded.
When the Demon Emperor heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly.
No matter how conceited he was, he understood what the old sheep demon meant.
He is not yet strong enough to stand up to all the great masters.
At this moment, not only the demon race was discussing the Taoist's preaching, but also other races, among which the most hesitant was the Jiang race.
As the descendants of Daozu, Daozu is also very far away from them. Precisely because they are the descendants of Daozu, they are even more nervous. They want to be close to Daozu, but are afraid of making him unhappy.
Against this backdrop, three thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
Tianding Peak was opened up by a Daluo. It was not originally the highest peak in the Daluo Immortal Realm, but the Daluo always wanted to leave something behind, so this Daluo left behind the highest peak in the Immortal Realm.
The mountain range where Tianding Peak is located stretches for billions of miles. The land is vast and rich in resources, and it is home to countless treasures and exotic beasts. Because of Daluo's protection, this place is like a paradise and a fairyland on earth.
At this moment, countless creatures are rushing to the Tianding Peak in this vast mountain range. There are even many seekers who kowtow every three steps as they move forward, expressing their determination to the Taoist Ancestor.
When the mighty ones came here, they fell from the sky one after another and stopped flying, for fear of being impolite in front of the Taoist Ancestor.
Although it did not reach the exaggerated scenes in the Divine Journey to the Great Universe, the number of living creatures around Tianding Peak could already be described as a vast ocean.
There were even creatures waiting here three thousand years ago. When the Taoist Ancestor first announced his sermon, more than ten thousand cultivators rushed here, including some Daluo.
Daluo is high and mighty, but it also depends on who he is facing. Some Daluo also want to please Daozu to break through the seemingly impossible Divine Appearance Realm.
now.
On top of the Tianding Peak, there stands a pulpit without a roof, covering an area of hundreds of miles, with nearly ten thousand cushions placed on it. There is a staircase leading to the sky in the front, and upwards is a high platform without cushions, because that is the position of the Taoist ancestor, who has his own throne.
Bai Qi and Taoist Tianding were standing on the edge of the cliff, discussing the matter of listening to the teachings.
"It's hard to predict how many people Daluo will bring. If there are not enough places, will it cause unhappiness?" Taoist Tianding hesitated.
Among the Daluo, he was a person with a mild temper who never caused trouble. He didn't have many good friends, but he didn't have many enemies either, so he didn't want to make enemies because of this matter.
Bai Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I arranged everything. They can't blame you. Besides, if there are more positions, wouldn't that offend Daozu? Anyone can get close to Daozu, what's wrong?"
Taoist Tianding smiled and said, "Who dares to blame you, Holy Mother Fuyuan? We all rely on your support."
Although this statement is exaggerated, it is also true. All the Daluo today have received the blessing of Our Lady of Fuyuan, so no one will hate her.
Just like the Demon Emperor, although he had conflicts with Our Lady of Fuyuan, he never hated her. Every time Our Lady of Fuyuan went to find him, he still treated her with courtesy.
"Should we set up separate seats for the Three Saints of Immortality?" Taoist Tianding suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly.
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "The Dao Ancestor preaches the Dao to all living beings, and cannot be too special to individual beings. He allows the Daluo to come here just to let all living beings know the status of Daluo and guide them to pursue the Daluo Dao Fruit."
She had just spoken when she suddenly felt something and turned around to look.
She saw two fighting figures appear in the sky, which made her raise her eyebrows and frown as she asked, "Why are they fighting? It's really disgraceful!"
Taoist Tianding said helplessly, "Master Beidou raised a demon pet. When he was out discussing Taoism, the demon pet accidentally knocked over the cauldron he used to make pills. The flames in the cauldron spread to the human world, burning thousands of miles of land, killing countless lives. However, one person survived and used this disaster to refine the Red Flame Divine Body that shocked the Daluo Immortal Realm. He is the Red Flame Great Sage who is currently fighting Master Beidou."
"The Great Sage Scarlet Flame achieved Daluo a hundred thousand years ago. He must have been forbearing for a long time."
True Man Beidou opened a temple in the sky, and his Beidou Sect was also a very powerful sect in the Daluo Immortal Realm.
In terms of real strength, Beidou Zhenren can rank among the top three among the Daluo transcendents!
Bai Qi shook his head and said, "There are more and more such causes and effects."
The careless actions of the Daluo can easily bring disaster to the common people, and as the number of Daluo increases, there are always children of destiny who are born to meet the disaster. There are similar cases like the cause and effect between Beidou Zhenren and Chiyan Dasheng.
Possessing the greatest merit, Bai Qi can see the operation of the way of heaven here.
In the dark, the way of heaven is caring for the creatures harmed by Daluo. It seems to be merciful, but it also sows the seeds of disaster.
When Taoist Tianding heard this, he didn't dare to respond, for fear of breaking a taboo. After all, the Taoist ancestor might come at any time.
Gradually, the first group of Daluo climbed to the summit on foot.
Dao Kunlun, the Taoist of the Other Shore, and Taishang Kunlun came with the peerless geniuses of the seven Taoist sects. As the direct disciple of the Taoist Ancestor, Dao Kunlun naturally did not dare to show off and had to arrive first.
Taoist Tianding hurriedly saluted. Most of the Daluo in the Taoist sect were his predecessors and were worthy of his active salute.
“No need to be polite. Tianding Peak is blessed to have such a good fortune. Fellow Daoist Tianding should seize it well.”
The Taoist of the Other Shore laughed softly, but his words caused waves in the Taoist of the Top of the Heaven’s Head’s heart.
Good fortune?
