Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 195 [The Great Dao Opens Up, Blessing All Living Beings] (Please Subscribe)
Listening to the Tongtian Sect Leader's explanation, Xuan Yin was greatly shocked, but he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Although the more variables there were in the Primordial True World, the more important the Tongtian Sect Leader's authority and strength would be in the Heavenly Dao system, the power of the Heavenly Dao was ultimately not his own power.

and……

If one relies on variables to increase strength, although one may make great progress in a short period of time, one will inevitably be regarded by the Dao Ancestor as the successor to the method of seeking emptiness through reduction.

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin immediately summarized his worries and Taiqing Laozi's analysis in the most concise way.

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, the Tongtian Sect Leader burst into laughter: "If I truly inherit my teacher's Dao Fruit, then it is Taiqing and the others who should be worried!"

"At that time, even if it wasn't an immeasurable calamity, or the end of the world, the four of them combined wouldn't be a match for me!"

"When it comes time to inherit my teacher's Dao fruit, those few might even jump out and stop me for their own benefit!"

The relationships among the saints are far more complex than imagined. They are both fellow Daoists and rivals. They both desire to advance their own Dao attainment and do not want other saints to walk ahead of them on the great path.

Although inheriting Hongjun's Dao Fruit would make his path to transcendence much more difficult, the Tongtian Sect Leader at that time was also the most terrifying. Since it would be difficult to advance further, he would use the Dao Ancestor's Dao Fruit to constantly cause trouble for the saints of the prehistoric world...

Since I can't improve, then none of you can improve either!
Xuan Yin was startled.

If what the Tongtian Sect Leader said is true, then when someone might inherit the Dao Ancestor's Dao Fruit, all the Sages would probably stand up to stop it!
but……

If that's the case, then why would Laozi of Taiqing want to erase the mark of the Dao Ancestor and give Yuanshi Tianzun the opportunity to prove the source of immortality and divinity?

Is not this contradictory?

Thinking of this, Xuan Yin immediately looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader and asked the question that had been bothering him.

The Tongtian Sect Leader immediately laughed and said, "Do you think that the source of immortality and divinity is so easy to prove? Erasing the mark left by the Dao Ancestor can only increase the possibility at most! The divine authority in the Heavenly Court and the Underworld is also something that Yuanshi's plan must grasp!"

"Just like Jin Ling, who needed the approval of more than half of the Star Gods to become the second-generation Doumu, Yuan Shi, who wanted to become the source of the Immortal God's Law, needed to obtain the approval of at least half of the Immortal Gods!"

"Leaving aside the Heavenly Court for now, do you think Houtu in the Underworld would give Yuanshi any face?"

"Furthermore, the Celestial Immortal Path was pioneered by me, Taiqing, and Yuanshi. Although it holds immense weight within the Immortal Dao system, would it gain the approval of half the immortals without my consent?"

Of the five immortal paths—Heaven, Earth, Human, God, and Ghost—the Heavenly Immortal Path undoubtedly has the most cultivators. Perhaps only the combined number of cultivators on the other four immortal paths can rival that of the Heavenly Immortal Path.

In the present time and space, all the immortals of the Jie Sect have come to pay homage, and a large part of the fortune of the Xuanmen and the Heavenly Immortal Dao is concentrated on the Jie Sect lineage.

"I see!"

Xuan Yin suddenly realized.

During the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun's actions against the Jie Sect were probably not just a struggle over the Great Dao, but also aimed at gaining control over the discourse of the Heavenly Immortal Dao.

Xuan Yin once used Zi Wei Dou Shu (a Chinese astrological system) to glimpse the future, only to discover that in many timelines, Yuan Shi Tian Zun (the Primordial Heavenly Lord) was the ruler of the Daoist sect.

But under normal circumstances, Laozi should be the head of the Three Pure Ones!
After the Investiture of the Gods, the lineage passed down by Laozi of Taiqing became the mainstay of Taoism, but Taoism is headed by Yuanshi Tianzun.

"It must be that the two of them reached some consensus: Taiqing Laozi relinquished his position as the head of the Three Pure Ones to help Yuanshi Tianzun gather more immortal fortune!"

To gain more immortal fortune, one must either recruit many disciples or minimize the number of celestial immortals under the Jie Sect.

Eliminating those who are eligible to vote is also a way to increase one's own immortal fortune.

At the same time, the decline of the Jiejiao lineage could also hold back Tongtian Jiaozhu. Without disciples, how could he make further progress in the Dao of Acquired Realm?
At this moment, Xuan Yin finally understood that the Investiture of the Gods was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Every saint had a plan during the Investiture of the Gods, and the convergence of many causes and effects led to this unprecedented calamity.

The two Western Saints, needless to say, wanted to guide those with affinity to Buddhism, thereby strengthening the Western religion.

Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to eliminate the calamity of killing among his disciples and also wanted to suppress the Jie Sect, so as to gain more say in the immortal system.

Laozi of Taiqing helping Yuanshi Tianzun may not have been without the idea of ​​shifting cause and effect!
And the Dao Ancestor...

The Investiture of the Gods gathers the authority of the old gods and bestows titles upon new gods, seemingly to strengthen the Heavenly Court, but its fundamental purpose is to eliminate its own divine karma.

Nuwa, on the other hand, chose to follow the trend and stand on the side of the victors!
Of course, there are also other reasons that Xuan Yin is currently unaware of!
The Tongtian Sect Leader continued, “Of course, your concerns are not without merit! The blessing that the power of the Heavenly Dao bestows upon me is ultimately just an external thing. Once the general trend changes, or other Heavenly Dao Saints offer a completely new interpretation of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, my authority within the Heavenly Dao may also decline! This is why the Primordial Saints are vying for the right to interpret the Heavenly Dao!”

"My Great Dao will ultimately fall upon you disciples and the Great Dao of Acquired Life. You forced Ma Yuan and other disciples to go to the West ahead of time through the sect rules. Although this kept the Jie Sect's fortune pure, it also reduced the number of disciples who were destined to be with my Jie Sect!"

"Most things in this world cannot be had both ways, so there's no need to worry too much about it!"

The Tongtian Sect Leader was undoubtedly the most insightful among the saints, but his words gave Xuan Yin a bold idea.

"Teacher, have you ever thought about open source?"

In Xuan Yin's view, if he wanted the Great Dao of Acquired Nature to spread widely throughout the prehistoric world, he could not be bound by the so-called Immortal Dao system and the Jie Sect lineage.

The best way is to transform the core inheritances of many acquired Daos into Dao templates, so that every primordial being can cultivate them, and let them further improve the acquired Daos based on the core inheritances, and then feed back their understanding of the acquired Daos to the Tongtian Sect Master.

The compatibility of the acquired path is still very strong. For example, the path of swordsmanship, the path of formations, and the path of talismans can be practiced by cultivators of the immortal path, the demonic path, or the Buddhist path, and can be integrated into their own system.

Those who obtain the Great Dao template, though receiving the teachings of the Tongtian Sect Master, do not establish a master-disciple relationship with him. This method, while not establishing a sect, is equivalent to establishing one and can reduce many karmic consequences.

As long as they do not take on disciples, their fortune will not be integrated into the Jie Sect. Even if they do evil deeds, it will not affect the fortune of the Jie Sect.

As for the Tongtian Sect Leader...

Why would a sage fear cause and effect?
"Open source?"

Upon hearing Xuan Yin's idea, the Tongtian Sect Leader's eyes lit up, but he immediately shook his head and said, "Things are not as simple as you think!"

"If there are too many cultivators, the heavens and earth will not be able to bear it, which will trigger a great calamity. Perhaps even an immeasurable calamity may come ahead of time!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin immediately shook his head and said, "What I mean is, if you only teach the techniques and not the methods, does that mean one cannot cultivate the Great Dao of Acquired Realm without understanding the Immortal Path?"

“I have also glimpsed the future before. When the end of the Dharma arrives in the future, won’t many martial arts practitioners also integrate swordsmanship into their martial arts?”

"Furthermore, Mount Buzhou has now been spared from collapse. With Mount Buzhou still standing, the innate spiritual energy in the Primordial True Realm should be greater than it was under the original Heavenly Dao!"

"Even if the teachings are transmitted, as long as it is controlled in a slightly different way, such as only transmitting the teachings of those below the Immortal level, it will not cause the immeasurable calamity to be brought forward!"

"At most, it will only restore the innate spiritual energy to its original level!"

Although the Tongtian Sect Leader is the one who controls the variables in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't mean he can't interfere with the predetermined fate of things!

The five elements are interdependent. Without fixed numbers, how can there be variables? And without variables, how can the so-called fixed numbers be highlighted?
Fate and destiny are the same; variables are meant to break fate, while fixed fate allows some beings to be born with great fortune.

As for calamities, they are also of paramount importance. Whenever a great calamity descends, it is also the time when the fate and destiny of all living beings in the primordial world undergo the greatest changes.

The cycle of calamity breaks everything, shatters destiny, alters variables, and reshapes fate.

and……

Since Yuanshi Tianzun could study calamities through Shen Gongbao, why couldn't Tongtian Jiaozhu seize some of the power of destiny from Yuanshi Tianzun by restoring the power of the Heavenly Dao?
Using constants to balance variables, and using variables to verify constants, is certainly feasible; it's just a matter of the Master of Heaven grasping the right balance!

"good!"

Without hesitation, the Tongtian Sect Leader refined the acquired Great Dao and the myriad arts of cultivation into Great Dao templates, transforming them into streams of light that scattered throughout the Primordial True World.

"I, Tongtian, wish to seize a glimmer of hope for all living beings. I wish to emulate the Great God Pangu and spread my own insights into the Great Dao throughout the primordial world. I wish to emulate the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and widely propagate the acquired methods to benefit all living beings!"

"Today, I wish to strip away the form of my Pangu inheritance, my sword dao insights, my array dao inheritance, and the many acquired great Daos I have mastered, extract their true meaning, and transform them into templates for the Great Daos, which will be scattered throughout the primordial world so that all living beings in the primordial true world may observe and comprehend them!"

"This template has no threshold or restrictions. Immortal cultivators can comprehend it, divine cultivators can comprehend it, and Buddhist and demonic cultivators can also view and comprehend it!"

"To be able to comprehend the way of the sword from this is your good fortune!"

"To be able to comprehend the profound mysteries of array formations from this is also an opportunity for you!"

"I am not your teacher, nor are you my disciple. You must comprehend the Great Dao on your own and bear the consequences of your own actions. I only wish that all cultivators in the Primordial True Realm may have the acquired Great Dao to comprehend!"

"May Heaven bear witness!"

Boom!

As soon as the Tongtian Sect Leader finished speaking, thunderous sounds echoed in the void, and countless streams of light scattered throughout the Primordial True Realm.

In the Heavenly Realm, the Netherworld, the Four Seas and Eight Desolations, and Kunlun and Sumeru, golden light of inheritance descends, and these are all templates of the Great Dao manifested by the Tongtian Sect Master.

In an instant, all living beings in the Primordial True Realm gained an extra memory out of thin air.

On Mount Kunlun, a sword light flashed in Jade Cauldron Immortal's eyes, tearing through the heavens and earth, its power seemingly capable of annihilating all the myriad paths of the universe.

On Mount Sumeru, the Sunlight Daoist and the Moonlight Daoist exchanged a glance, and the Yin and Yang energies flowed, unexpectedly evolving into an array diagram.

In the ancestral land of the human race, the image of fire manifested around Suirenshi, seemingly capable of refining elixirs, crafting weapons, and transforming into countless supernatural powers to fight enemies.

Even some spiritual roots and herbs were given as gifts by the Tongtian Sect Master.

In the vast wilderness, a nine-leaf sword grass suddenly burst forth with a sword intent similar to the Immortal Execution Sword, seemingly about to take form immediately.

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, the ginseng fruit tree suddenly shook violently, and a ginseng fruit fell, transforming into a chubby, white baby who shouted, "From now on, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"

But the next moment, he was grabbed by Zhen Yuanzi, who looked surprised: "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, this is truly an extraordinary gesture!"

Even a pill that Taiqing casually refined in the Eight Views Palace developed sentience and looked at Grand Master Xuandu with a look of horror.

"Don't eat me!"

Before he finished speaking, the pill rushed haphazardly to Taiqing Laozi's feet.
