Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 25 The Venerable God of Luo Tian

"What is the Heavenly Venerable God Luo?"

Faced with Yang Mei's question, everyone fell into deep thought.

Qi then spoke of the Great Luo Way as described by Hongjun.

"After creating a small world, relying on the primordial world, the Dao Fruit is attached to the primordial world, and is constantly corrected by comparing it with the primordial world."

"Furthermore, one can also use the power of the Small World and the Primordial World to perform combat techniques."

Yang Mei retorted, "Then is the path you follow your own, or the primordial Heavenly Way?"

"Having entered the Chaos Realm, far removed from the Primordial World and the Small World, without the support of Heaven and Earth, your cultivation level has plummeted. In that case, is your cultivation still yours?"

"Although this method is easy, it is nothing more than an attempt to take a shortcut."

"To mistake this method for the ultimate truth is to stray from the right path without realizing it!"

"The path of cultivation, compared to the primordial world, reveals a clear future, yet it also indicates that the path itself is already dead!"

"A clearly visible road is certainly valuable, but it will eventually come to an end."

"The Emperor's heart is set on the primordial world, and the path of creation is based on the primordial world."

"But compared to the King of Thailand, he has fallen short."

Upon hearing this, everyone became alert and listened attentively.

"The Luotian refers to the eight directions of the world outside this realm, where there are layers upon layers of Luotian, with separate sun, moon, five planets, and twenty-eight constellations, just like the one in the southern sky."

"Although it does not exist at this time, the Emperor envisions that future generations will create their own Great Luo Heaven, rely on the primordial wilderness, and transform into the Three Thousand Great Worlds."

"Therefore, 'Luo Tian' means to encompass all the heavens!"

Seeing that everyone was listening intently, he raised his eyebrows and continued:

"Inspired by this, the Thai King went a step further, which differed from the way of the Emperor."

"The Way of the Supreme Emperor Luotian originates from the Great Luotian, and the Great Luotian relies on the fruits of the Way."

"The evolution of the world begins and ends with one's own path; right and wrong are known only to oneself!"

"Whether walking or lying down, one possesses the immense power of the world, ranking alongside all the heavens."

The crowd's gazes were solemn. The two paths seemed similar but were actually quite different, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. However, if they had to choose, they would probably all choose the latter.

"But the way of the Earth Sovereign is the most different; the earth nourishes all things and nurtures all living beings."

"Instead of opening up the Great Luo Heaven, it uses the Dao Fruit to refine the heavens and earth, and within the heavens and earth, divine power is added."

"The wider the territory, the stronger the divine power. If there are secret realms of heaven and earth, it is not impossible to rival the Primordial Chaos Realm."

"The Tao is the universe, and it has great merit."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt it was a way out, but it would mean abandoning their own path and pursuing the Way of Heaven and Earth.

The world is so vast, how can one person take it all?

While refining, one's own Dao Fruit will also become part of heaven and earth.

Within the range of refinement, one's strength is naturally formidable, but once one leaves, one's cultivation level will likely decline.

If they are too far away, they might even turn into ordinary people.

Seeing that everyone was thinking, Yang Mei asked:

"What do you desire?"

Having said this, everyone knew that he would only talk about one of the three paths, and it was up to them to choose.

Qi and Taiyi exchanged glances, understanding everyone's thoughts, and then answered their choice:

"Senior, we wish to follow the Great Way of the King of Thailand, and let the great power return to ourselves."

Upon seeing this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "Excellent!"

"We are all innate deities, and the scene of Pangu creating the world is still before our eyes."

"You all surely have your own ideas on how to open up the Great Luo Heaven, so I will not say any more."

"I will simply tell you how the world is attached to the fruits of the Tao."

This time, Yang Mei's sermon was conducted without any unusual phenomena; it was peaceful and undisturbed.

Everyone listened attentively, not daring to slack off in the slightest, for fear of missing anything.

The cows on the distant hill raised their heads and pricked up their ears, but could not hear a thing. They jumped up in frustration, but dared not go over there.

He had previously listened to the teachings of the Supreme God Taiyi as if listening to celestial music, but he was so confused that he had forgotten most of it.

However, I did manage to write down some of the parts that I could understand, which was a great gain and significantly improved my skills.

The gains he made from listening to the teachings this time were even greater than all the spiritual practices he had cultivated since birth.

That's why he was so anxious and restless.

Knowing that an incredible opportunity is right in front of them, they simply cannot seize it.

Niu Niu felt he had been wronged, so he could only lie down by the lake at the foot of the mountain, close his eyes and listen quietly, trying to hear even a few words.

Having come up empty-handed, they could only listlessly head up the mountain to graze.

Yang Mei's sermon this time was intermittent, and he frequently stopped to answer the audience's questions.

If there is anything that is not understood, he will even go back and explain it again so that everyone can fully understand and remember the reasoning.

However, the entire process only lasted for three thousand years before it stopped. He gave a complete account of the Way of the Heavenly Emperor.

Seeing that everyone was deep in thought, he remained silent, but walked to the mountain over there and teased Niu Niu with a branch of a high-grade spiritual root, playing by himself.

When Qi and the others woke up, Niu Niu was already lying on the ground, too weak to stand up.

Seeing that everyone had woken up, Yang Mei casually stuffed the branches and leaves of the spiritual root into Niu Niu's mouth, then turned and walked towards them.

Upon reaching the group, he raised his eyebrows and clasped his hands in greeting.

"My dear friends, our time together has come to an end. I hope that you will all achieve success in the future, and if we are fortunate enough to meet again, we can sit down and discuss the Dao once more."

Without waiting for a reply, his figure gradually disappeared into the Yunmeng Marsh.

Helpless, everyone raised their hands in return.

"Respectfully seeing off the senior, and thanking the senior for the grace of preaching."

Far away on the other side of the primordial wilderness.

A green willow branch stretched out from the space, raising its eyebrows as it looked at the three people resisting the ferocious beast.

He sat cross-legged to one side, waiting quietly.

He only made his move after seeing the three of them win and begin to pursue the ferocious beast Qiongqi, when Shen Ni's projection appeared.

The dense willow branches sealed off the sky and locked the earth, severing the divine projection.

"I am Yangmei, the hollow willow! Greetings, fellow Daoists."

After Yang Mei left, everyone felt a bit lost and had nothing to do.

The ferocious beast has now crossed the Yunmeng Marsh and is heading further north.

With the crisis over, everyone seemed to sense that parting was imminent, and felt a little reluctant to leave.

Their interactions over several cycles of time made them true like-minded people.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit somber, Qi tried to lighten the mood by saying:

"Why do you all adopt this posture? We are innate saints, living as long as Heaven itself, so why should we worry about not having a time to meet again?"

"I did not chase anyone away, so why are you all in such a hurry to leave? Let's come and enjoy the feast."

"Furthermore, Yunmengze always welcomes everyone. If you miss me, you are welcome to come anytime."

After a moment's thought, everyone realized they had been being presumptuous, as Yunmengze wasn't actually that far away.

If one were willing to tear through space to travel, a journey of thousands of years would suffice.

If one's cultivation level improves, perhaps it won't take so long.

Thinking of this, I smiled gently.

"I'm afraid that you'll find us too much of a bother and too much trouble, and then find an excuse to go on your own travels."

Nuwa joked.

Everyone laughed, and the laughter carried far and wide.

"The sun is about to set, let's have a feast first."

Some played wind instruments, some played musical instruments, and some played chess for entertainment—how delightful!

"These three brothers are so boring. Yunmeng Marsh is so much more fun!"

While preaching in Dongkunlun, Yang Mei was also filled with emotion.

These agonizing days will last for thousands of years; they are truly unbearable.

After all, repeating the same principle multiple times can be tiresome. He has already said it many times in this great eon, and he will continue to do so.
