Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

On Yingzhou Immortal Island, Bai Jing summoned all the followers of the Holy Lotus Sect.

Apart from Shennong, the second-generation disciples led by Kong Xuan, Xuan Gui, Chang Xi and others were already on Yingzhou Immortal Island. Upon hearing Bai Jing's summons, they immediately came to the pond to await Bai Jing's invitation.

The third-generation disciples, on the other hand, need to return from outside.

Zhao Gongming and Dapeng, the two disciples, arrived at Yingzhou Immortal Island one after the other.

Shennong was the last to arrive.

Bai Jing saw that everyone had arrived, so he let them in.

The group arrived at the pond and bowed deeply to Bai Jing.

"Rise, all of you! I have summoned you here to say three things. First, the primordial world has been reshaped once again, and the Heavenly Dao has been reshaped. This world will no longer reject Primordial Golden Immortals. You can all attain the Dao. You do not need to care about whether you have the merit of creating the world, nor do you need to care about whether you will be rejected by the primordial world."

Secondly, after this ascension of the primordial world, the concept of time has become clearer. The idea that the primordial world does not count years will no longer exist. The passage of time in the primordial world will be extremely clear. Take the Great Shang Dynasty as an example. After the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, the Great Shang Dynasty will have another 500 years of national fortune. After 500 years, the Great Shang Dynasty will exist in name only.

If you wish to engage in long-term seclusion, you must do so within the realm of time; otherwise, you may miss a great opportunity after a single seclusion.

Finally, and most importantly, there is a powerful being beyond the primordial world that covets its territory. You must not be complacent, for one day I may need your strength to lend me a hand.

"It is Master (the leader)."

"Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Do you have any questions? If not, I will now preach to you for a thousand years. I will adjust the flow of time in the pond, so that one day in the outside world is equivalent to a thousand years in the pond."

Of course, I will use my power to isolate you from the influence of the Great Dao of Time, otherwise your bodies, which have not yet attained sainthood, would not be able to withstand such a rapid flow of time.

“This disciple has a problem,” Kong Xuan stepped forward and said.

"speak."

“Master, after the Investiture of the Gods, our Phoenix Clan gained a massive amount of fortune, but our connection with the Great Shang Dynasty has also deepened. If the Great Shang Dynasty is destroyed, will our Phoenix Clan be affected?”

"Of course it will, but not as much as you imagine. Your Phoenix Clan is standing together with the Great Shang Dynasty this time, not just blindly absorbing its fortune. Therefore, even if the Great Shang Dynasty falls, the Phoenix Clan will only experience some fluctuations in its fortune, and it won't be greatly affected."

"I see, thank you for your explanation, Master." After saying that, Kong Xuan bowed deeply to Bai Jing.

“Master, I also have a question. You just said that the rules of the primordial world have changed, and time will become clearer in the primordial world. How should cultivators without a time field go into seclusion?” Bixiao asked.

"You don't need to worry about that. Nowadays, cultivators above the Great Luo level in the prehistoric world can touch the laws of time and can completely construct their own time fields. You can try it yourself."

Upon hearing this, Bixiao sat cross-legged and, sure enough, she sensed the flow of time in no time. With just a slight movement, she altered the flow of time within a few meters around her.

With Bixiao's current cultivation level, she can only manipulate the flow of time within a radius of 10 meters, adjusting it to make one day outside equal to ten years inside the field.

This does not mean that Bixiao can manipulate time. Manipulating time is the ability of the Great Dao of Time. Bixiao's ability to modify the flow of time within a 10-meter radius is a power granted to her by the primordial world.

Such authority was bestowed upon every living being above the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal by the primordial world.

The extent to which the range and flow of time can be modified corresponds to the limit that a cultivator can withstand.

In comparison, Quasi-Saints are not as good as Primordial Golden Immortals in this respect, because most Quasi-Saint cultivators have not comprehended the Great Dao of Laws, so they do not have the Great Dao of Laws to protect them and help them resist the erosion of time power in the time field.

However, once one reaches the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal, the Great Dao of Laws protects them, allowing them to withstand a time field with a time flow rate not exceeding one hundred years.

Whether it is a Quasi-Saint or a Primordial Golden Immortal, after attaining sainthood, the time flow they can withstand reaches a thousand years.

Cultivators at the fifth level of Sainthood and the fifth level of Primordial Golden Immortal can withstand a time field of ten thousand to one hundred thousand years. The higher the cultivation level, the faster the time flow will be in the time field.

Once you reach the Heavenly Dao Realm, under the rules of the current primordial world, the flow of time is no longer relevant; no matter how many times the flow of time is increased, it will not affect the Heavenly Dao Realm in the slightest.

"Who has any more questions?"

"Master, I would like to ask, since time is so clear in the primordial world, wouldn't it mean that a single emperor of a mortal dynasty could reign for thousands of generations?"

"Of course not. According to the rules of the current prehistoric world, the Human Emperor will have the status of a Saint, but he will no longer be able to cultivate and his lifespan will be at most a hundred years."

A hundred years later, the Human Emperor can be reborn in the mortal realm without experiencing the suffering of reincarnation, and can cultivate anew in the mortal realm. The Human Emperor's cultivation aptitude is often tied to his political achievements during his reign, and no one, including Nuwa, can change his aptitude.

"I see, thank you for your explanation, Master."

After Yunxiao finished asking his question, the other disciples remained silent. Xuan Gui and Chang Xi also had no questions. Shennong, as a sage, was extremely clear about the changes in heaven and earth, so naturally he had no doubts either.

So Bai Jing began to preach.

Bai Jing preached for a thousand years within the realm of time, while only one day passed outside.

Bai Jing's sermon was very beneficial to the followers of the Holy Lotus Sect.

After the sermon, Kong Xuan was now ready to attain enlightenment at any time. He had not only completely mastered the Five Elements Dao, but his own origin had also perfectly merged with the Five Needle Pine. As long as he absorbed enough spiritual energy, Kong Xuan could attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal of Hunyuan.

After listening to Bai Jing's sermon, Yunxiao also gained some insight. She now knew how to perfect the last bit of the Dao of Illusion and Reality.

Yu Ding and Gui Ling broke through to the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

Qiongxiao and Bixiao also made further progress, one breaking through to the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal and the other breaking through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint.

Even Shennong, the sage, gained something.

Of the three nominal disciples, Qin Yueyue and Kong Xuan are both capable of attaining sainthood at any time. Zhao Gongming has a clearer understanding of his own path to enlightenment. However, Dapeng has not made much progress, mainly because his mind is not on cultivation at the moment.

The roc indulged in pleasure in the human world, having had sexual relations with countless women.

Not long ago, one of Da Peng's many female confidantes became pregnant. For Da Peng, who was about to become a father, nothing was more important than this child.

If Bai Jing hadn't personally summoned him, Dapeng certainly wouldn't have returned to Yingzhou Immortal Island.

Among the third-generation disciples, Yang Jian was the first to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while Yuan Hong and Nezha were only one step away. Youqin Daji had only recently broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm and was still far from it!
After listening to Bai Jing's sermon, Chang Xi directly severed his own good corpse, evil corpse, and obsessive corpse, and began to cultivate the Great Dao of Taiyin.

Chang Xi was originally a being born from the Taiyin Star. Now, she has switched to cultivating the Taiyin Dao and has quickly mastered 70% of it, returning to the late stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

The Xuan Turtle itself possessed the perfected Dao of Water and was ready to attain enlightenment at any time. After listening to Bai Jing's sermon, the Xuan Turtle used water to transform into ice, then mist, and then snow, beginning to cultivate four Daos simultaneously. Bai Jing observed the changes in the followers of the Holy Lotus Sect, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

With a wave of his hand, he sent everyone, who were immersed in a state of enlightenment, back to their respective caves.

A century later, Kong Xuan was the first to attain enlightenment, becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal through the Five Elements Great Dao.

Youqin Yueyue followed closely behind, using the power of incense and vows to merge with the three corpses, and attained the Dao fruit of the Primordial Golden Immortal.

Another hundred years passed, and Yunxiao cultivated the Dao of Illusion and Reality to perfection. A second perfect self-created Dao appeared in the Primordial World. The Dao granted him a massive amount of merit. Although it could not compare to the merit that Tongtian had received when he perfected the Dao of Sword, it was enough to push Yunxiao to the level of a Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

Bai Jing taught four saints, and the Holy Lotus Sect had five saints, comparable to the Dao Ancestor of that time, which shocked the prehistoric world!

After Kong Xuan, Yun Xiao, and You Qin Yueyue became saints, they were considered to have completed their apprenticeship.

Kong Xuan specifically sought out the Great Immortal Yangmei and, after obtaining his permission, occupied Fangzhang Island as his own Taoist temple.

Yunxiao, using the Three Immortal Islands as her foundation, reshaped half of the shattered Penglai Immortal Island with the Dao of Illusion and Reality, and made this place her and her two sisters' training ground.

Youqin Yueyue didn't create any island. Instead, she opened up a new world in the Outer Heavens, named it Vacuum Hometown, and called herself the White Lotus Holy Mother, using this world as her sacred ground.

Youqin Daji inherited her master's mantle and became the new White Lotus Saintess.

Aside from Kong Xuan, Yun Xiao, and You Qin Yueyue, three other sages were born in the prehistoric world during these two hundred years.

One was Styx, who obtained the authentic Primordial Purple Qi and became a saint with the identity card of the Dao Lord of the Asura Path.

One of them was Yuanshi Tianzun. This time, Yuanshi Tianzun did not rely on Hongmeng Ziqi. Instead, he first destroyed his three corpses, then destroyed them again, and finally successfully completed the fusion of the three corpses, obtained the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, and successfully became a saint.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable who attained enlightenment in this way is completely different from his previous temperament. The Primordial Celestial Venerable who was originally upright and peaceful and close to the Heavenly Dao is now a mixture of Yin and Yang, and a convergence of good and evil, like a collection of contradictions.

The third was an unknown old Taoist priest. There was no legend about him in the prehistoric world. He proved his Dao by using laws, but no one in the prehistoric world knew exactly which law he used to prove his Dao.

It is said that after this old Taoist attained enlightenment, both the Sage of Red Cloud and the Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, the master of the Earthly Immortal Realm, congratulated him.

For the next 300 years, the primordial world was extremely peaceful. No one attained sainthood, and there were no major disasters or calamities.

A significant event was that Buddhism began to leave the western regions and spread its teachings to other areas of the prehistoric world.

At first, the people of the prehistoric world were afraid that the Buddhist sect would forcibly convert the prehistoric beings like Zhunti and Jieyin did, so they avoided the Buddhist sect at all costs. But they soon discovered that the Buddhist sect did not spread its teachings in the same way as before, but instead promoted Mahayana Buddhism through preaching.

This Mahayana Buddhism is indeed profound, and many primordial beings voluntarily joined the Buddhist order.

Before we knew it, another three hundred years had passed.

Three hundred years is but a fleeting moment for cultivators, but for mortals it is the turning of the sun and moon, the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields.

After the Investiture of the Gods ended, Emperor Xin worked diligently to govern the Shang Dynasty, bringing it to an incredible height, reaching its peak of prosperity, with all nations paying tribute.

Today, the decline of the Great Merchants has become inevitable.

In the imperial court, officials were corrupt, and throughout the country, exorbitant taxes and levies arose, causing the fortunes of the great merchants to decline again and again.

The Shang Dynasty was in decline, and its decrees could no longer reach all regions. The Shang king's power was usurped, and various feudal lords rose up in his place.

Soon, the Shang king's actual territory, apart from the capital Chaoge, consisted of only a few cities near Chaoge. Compared to the Shang dynasty's territory at its peak, this was a drop in the ocean.

Meanwhile, various warlords rose up, constantly attacking each other and igniting war. In the end, seven overlords emerged victorious.

They are Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin.

Of the seven hegemons, Wei and Qi were the strongest, while Qin was the weakest.

The seven kingdoms were eyeing each other covetously, each with its own ambition to annex the other six, then storm Chaoge, seize the Nine Tripods, and declare itself the legitimate ruler.

In the mortal realm, war raged on; in the heavens, an invisible wisp of celestial tribulation energy appeared and then descended.

In the primordial world, countless powerful beings who had been in seclusion suddenly opened their eyes, their faces flashing with shock.

"This aura... could it be the aura of calamity? Is another great calamity about to arrive?" Zhen Yuanzi said, frowning.

“Brother Dao, don’t speak nonsense. The secrets of heaven have never been concealed, so how can there be a great calamity? Besides, would a great calamity still be born in the current primordial world?” Hongyun asked in return.

Zhen Yuanzi was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded: "What you say is absolutely right, fellow Daoist. Apart from the immeasurable calamity, there will indeed be no more calamities in the current primordial world. But why does this calamity energy appear?"

"After some calculations, I confirmed that this calamity is related to the mortal dynasty."

"Could the rise and fall of mortal dynasties actually give rise to calamity energy?"

“When did I say it was a change of dynasties among mortals? Your opportunity to attain enlightenment may lie here, Brother Dao.” Hongyun smiled after saying this.

Similar dialogues have also occurred among many powerful beings.

On the Immortal Path of Yingzhou, Bai Jing summoned the Jade Cauldron and the Tortoise Spirit.

"Master, you summoned me and my junior sister here, is it because of this great calamity?" Yu Ding asked tentatively.

Bai Jing chuckled upon hearing this: "No need to be nervous. This tribulation is not a major one. Instead, it is an opportunity for you and your junior sister."

"Opportunity?"

"That's right. This manifestation of calamity energy is driven by the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, allowing all the Dao lineages of the prehistoric world to spread among mortals. These lineages compete healthily and spread the Great Dao. As long as they can help the human race, the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, develop, they can obtain a lot of fortune. At that time, it is not impossible to prove the Dao and become a saint by relying on the fortune."

Upon hearing this, Yu Ding's eyes lit up. The human race was the protagonist of heaven and earth, blessed with outstanding talents. There were countless humans in the prehistoric world, except for the human realm. If he could spread his teachings in the human realm, the fortune he would gain would be an astronomical figure.

Yu Ding's own talent is what it is. Without external help, the Great Dao he created would never be perfect. Now that he has such an opportunity to obtain a massive amount of fortune, if the fortune deepens, he will definitely be able to push the Great Dao to perfection. This is something Yu Ding absolutely cannot miss.

The same applies to Gui Ling. Gui Ling's aptitude alone would make it difficult for her to attain enlightenment, and this opportunity is of paramount importance to her.
