Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 82 Heaven and Man are All Puppet Masters, Emperor Qing Orders Preparations for War, Intending to Engage in Battle, Three Methods of Attaining Dao

Although the primordial world was powerful, it borrowed the power of heaven and earth to some extent, rather than transforming that power into its own.

Does such a powerful method truly make one stronger?

Many highly skilled cultivators were caught in a dilemma.

Hongjun ignored all of that and continued, "The Heavenly Human System has been explained. If you wish to cultivate, you may do so on your own. Next, I will expound my understanding of the Great Dao."

Immediately, the Daoist voice resounded, accompanied by countless insights into the Great Dao, all of which were gained by Hongjun through his comprehension of the myriad Daos, and also the insights into the Great Dao that Hongjun obtained from the Heavenly Dao.

Countless insights into the Great Dao were expressed, transforming into endless colorful clouds and wondrous phenomena, enveloping countless cultivators in this place.

While Hongjun was preaching, the Celestial-Human System he created was also introduced into the prehistoric world. Many rogue cultivators followed it, and many cultivators tried to practice it.

However, Di Qing also obtained this Celestial-Human System. After glancing at it, he couldn't help but sneer: "This Hongjun really has no shame. He actually used such a system to cheat people."

"A scam?" came the voices of doubt from the Creation Immortal Venerable and the others.

Despite being atop Buzhou Mountain, Di Qing, relying on his own destiny, overheard the doubts expressed by the Creation Immortal Venerable and the others. Then, with a cold indifference, he said, "It's a scam. The core of this Celestial-Human System is the Heavenly Dao. No matter how one cultivates, the ultimate goal is to merge oneself with the Heavenly Dao. One borrows cultivation, the Great Dao, and insights from the Heavenly Dao..."

"But what is borrowed must eventually be repaid. Relying on the Celestial-Human System to cultivate to the end will only make one a puppet of the Heavenly Dao. Moreover, the strength gained from cultivating the Celestial-Human System all comes from the Heavenly Dao, while one's own strength does not improve much. This is completely contrary to our cultivation model of concentrating the Great Dao and the power within ourselves."

"Although the primordial world is currently intact and the Heavenly Dao is powerful, the strength gained from cultivating using the Heavenly Human System is quite good. However, if the world were to encounter problems, or suffer severe damage or a great calamity, then cultivating the Heavenly Human System would become weaker due to the world and the Heavenly Dao."

"In addition, by imprinting one's own soul on the Heavenly Dao, every word and action will be monitored by the Heavenly Dao. If one does anything that violates the Heavenly Dao, one will be obliterated by the Heavenly Dao in an instant."

Well, Di Qing originally wanted to know what kind of cultivation system Hongjun could create. After all, Hongjun was very likely the creator of the immortal cultivation system, so let's see what kind of cultivation system Hongjun could create now that Di Qing has taken over the immortal cultivation system.

Unexpectedly, the cultivation system created by Hongjun was so bizarre. It was a system in which one gradually sacrificed oneself to the Heavenly Dao, imprinted oneself on the Heavenly Dao, and became a puppet of the Heavenly Dao through cultivation.

Although the cultivation and strength gained from this system all originate from the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao is powerful enough to make cultivators of the Celestial Human System very strong, this power is entirely illusory and controlled by the Heavenly Dao.

If the Heavenly Dao is damaged, these cultivators will collapse.

On the contrary, the cultivation system created by Di Qing integrates all kinds of great power into oneself, making oneself stronger. Even if the world is damaged, even if the Heavenly Dao is no longer there, it will not affect their strength.

The Creation Immortals fell silent. Originally, they weren't very familiar with the Heavenly Dao, so they hadn't noticed the peculiarity of the Celestial-Human system. But now, after hearing Di Qing's explanation, they understood the problem with the Celestial-Human system.

Even knowing this, a sense of gravity still arose: "What is Hongjun trying to do? Why create such a unique cultivation system?"

"Perhaps it is Hongjun who has already submitted to the Heavenly Dao and become its puppet," Hongru Immortal Venerable interjected.

"That's true. Hongjun didn't do anything particularly meritorious to resolve the karma and karmic burdens he was entangled in, so he must have some kind of reliance. And that reliance is the Heavenly Dao. I never expected, I really never expected, that the former Ancestor Hongjun would end up in such a state." Immortal Venerable Hongwu also sighed, expressing his incomprehension of Hongjun's choice and his sorrow for Hongjun's current state.

During this conversation, many cultivators belonging to the Imperial Azure Sect couldn't help but feel regret. Although their relationship with Hongjun wasn't particularly good either, seeing their former fellow cultivators reduced to such a state was still a cause for pity.

"Alas... If Fellow Daoist Hongjun is like this, then shall we just watch him lure the cultivators of the Primordial World into the Heavenly Dao?" Creation Immortal Venerable suddenly asked.

"The cultivators' choices are none of our business. However, all cultivators under my command are forbidden from cultivating the Celestial-Human System or touching the Heavenly Dao. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!" Di Qing did not want to see his cultivators come into contact with the Heavenly Dao and ultimately become its puppets.

Of course, this is also a reminder. There are quite a few immortal cultivators who went to Kunlun to listen to the Dao this time. If any of them really betrays him, then when Di Qing takes action, these immortal cultivators will know how to choose.

"Clan Chief Di Qing, rest assured, if they belong to the Kunlun Immortal Clan, who would dare to cultivate the Celestial Human System? Even without the clan chief taking action, we Immortal Venerables will not let them go." Immortal Venerable Hongwu spoke righteously, and his words carried an undeniable killing intent.

Di Qing paid no attention to the killing intent displayed by Hongwu Immortal Venerable and the others. Instead, he pondered for a moment and finally made a decision: "Pass on my order that all under my command prepare for a great battle."

"A great battle? This..." Not to mention the Creation Immortal Venerable and the others, even Di Jiang and the others are now filled with doubts.

Why is Di Qing suddenly ordering them to prepare for war? In this primordial world, what forces are worth fighting for? Even Hongjun, who has now attained enlightenment, is merely a lone figure. If war breaks out, Di Qing can simply go after Hongjun alone.

"Could it be that the patriarch is preparing to target the Celestial-Human System?" Immortal Venerable Hongru inquired.

"Yes. After Hongjun finishes his sermon, anyone who cultivates the Celestial-Human System will be killed without mercy. This war is not a contest of destiny, nor a contest of resources, but a contest of ideologies, and a fight for the future." Di Qing spoke clearly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

Upon hearing this, Di Jiang and the others gradually understood why Di Qing wanted to start a war. Without a doubt, the Celestial-Human System created by Hongjun was a cultivation system entirely centered on the Heavenly Dao. Such a cultivation system was bound to have many impacts on the Heavenly Dao.

It might strengthen the Heavenly Dao, or it might cause some special changes to it. But regardless, the Heavenly Dao is still the enemy of the Witch Clan. Since it is an enemy, we cannot watch it continue to develop like this.

Therefore, targeting the system of Heaven and Man is targeting the Way of Heaven.

Dijiang and the others understood and immediately shouted, "We will obey the clan leader's command."

The nine Immortal Venerables of the Kunlun Immortal Clan also shouted, "We will obey the Clan Chief's command!"

Immediately, the flow of fortune surged, and all races began preparing for war. However, the cultivators preparing for war this time were all from the Witch Clan and the Kunlun Immortal Clan. Because the five races were constrained by the Primordial World, a hasty war would affect the Ancestral Dragon and the others. Therefore, what they needed to do was to secretly assist each other and stabilize the Primordial World.

Emperor Qing ordered all members of the Wu tribe to prepare for war.

Hongjun was unaware of this. He had been preaching for tens of thousands of years, expounding his understanding of the Great Dao, and had basically described all three thousand Great Daos.

Such preaching also excited countless cultivators.

However, amidst their excitement, many cultivators eagerly awaited Hongjun's final revelation of the method for achieving enlightenment.

Hongjun didn't keep the many cultivators waiting long. After recounting the Great Dao, he continued, "Now that the sermon is over, I will speak of the method of attaining the Dao. Over the years, I have comprehended the Great Dao and comprehended countless methods of attaining the Dao. In the end, I discovered that all three thousand Great Daos can lead to the attainment of Hunyuan. However, although there are countless methods to attain the Hunyuan Dao, they can be summarized into three types."

"The first method: Proving the Dao through force. This method involves using unparalleled accumulation and one's own cultivation of the Great Dao to forcefully break through bottlenecks and achieve the Primordial Chaos Realm. Emperor Qing, who has already achieved the Primordial Chaos Realm, clearly achieved the Dao through this method. He used his unparalleled accumulation to forcefully climb the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar. Relying on the pressure of the Buzhou Heavenly Pillar, he forcefully achieved the Primordial Chaos Realm."

"The second method: attaining enlightenment through merit. This method involves condensing boundless and vast merit, receiving assistance from the primordial world, and then relying on the world to transform oneself and achieve the Great Dao Primordial Realm."

"The third method: Severing the corpse to attain enlightenment. Severing the corpse refers to the method of attaining enlightenment that Luo Lian transmitted back then. This method of attaining enlightenment belongs to..."

In fact, Fellow Daoist Di Qing relied on this method to create the Three Methods of Severing the Dao, severing a pure path of Dao, and then accumulating through the avatars he created.

Ultimately, it transforms into nourishment for breaking free from tranquility. And it is through this method that I, this humble Daoist, have created the Corpse-Slaying Method, comparable to the Three Methods of Slaying the Dao.
