Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 30 Preparations for the Five-Person Discussion

Taiyi and Qi's Taiyi Dao are somewhat different.

Pray that you can wrap the Dao fruit with your life and cultivation, just like adding a shell to a seed.

Taiyi is the connection between the Dao and life, planting the seed in the ground.

One focuses on cultivating one's physical and mental well-being, allowing both to progress simultaneously, but they may interfere with each other.

Although it is reliable, it requires a lot of time to hone one's skills, and the progress of one's cultivation is linked to one's life.

One should focus on the fruits of the Tao, and the offering of one's life to the fruits of the Tao is extremely beneficial to the advancement of one's Taoist practice.

Although progress is rapid, there is still concern that one's physical cultivation may not keep up with the growth of one's spiritual practice, leading to an imbalance.

Therefore, Qi seems to blend into nature, and his spiritual practice remains unseen.

Taiyi, on the other hand, exuded a powerful aura, revealing his profound cultivation.

"I just don't know how it will turn out when we actually fight."

"Once my brother emerges from seclusion, let him suffer a bit and see what Qi is capable of."

At this point, I smiled knowingly.

After all, it was his elder brother who wanted to spar with Qi, so he couldn't very well stop him, could he?

Taiyi was already looking forward to going to Yunmengze when Dijun saw Qi's appearance after he had resumed his cultivation.

He also began to take seriously what Qi had said about the five people discussing the Dao.

After all, this time four or five people were speaking at the same time, arguing with each other.

In the end, they will most likely have to fight and spar, and he is at a great disadvantage in the debate on the Dao.

With this in mind, Taiyi decided that if they were too aggressive, he would take the initiative to defend his principles.

Moreover, we must be prepared to fight four opponents at once, since Qihe and Dijun have too many past offenses!

Taiyi had a premonition that he would probably need some time to recover from his injuries this time.

After all, none of them were like a cultured debater.

Instead of returning to the Fusang Tree for seclusion, Taiyi sat down on the spot. Even if they were to fight in the end, he wanted to prepare for the debate first.

We can't just resort to violence when we can't win; that would be too embarrassing.

Let's examine their vulnerabilities. I can say little, but I'll nitpick a lot!

You can't be the one to quit first.

Taiyi thought that he couldn't be the first to be eliminated. If it really came to that, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take the initiative.

-------

"Five people together?"

Nuwa was somewhat surprised.

Are you sure they won't fight?

They debated each other, pointing out what they considered to be mistakes.

This is torturing, or even completely denying, the path of a seeker of truth.

Moreover, it's about winning and losing, and everyone is proud of their own understanding of their own path.

She doesn't think she'll lose, but she worries that some people can't afford to lose.

Especially for Taiyi, who adheres to the principle of one supreme doctrine, this way of discussing the Dao puts him at a great disadvantage. Would he really not resort to violence?

Fuxi's expression was also solemn.

He was a little unaccustomed to the fact that the first discussion on Taoism was so grand.

He also discussed the Dao with the innate divine.

Shouldn't we start from the basics and gradually move to more advanced topics, exchanging ideas with each other?

It was precisely because they were attracted by the sermon that Taiyi Dijun described that they decided to go to Yunmengze to see it for themselves.

He knew a fellow Daoist named Hongyun, who had a wide circle of friends. According to him, this was the general rule in Daoist discussions throughout the prehistoric world.

They exchanged casual conversations, but didn't delve too deeply into the subject. Only those with whom one had a deep and trusting relationship would discuss the Dao without reservation.

Fuxi hesitated somewhat about the way these five people debated and argued with each other.

I'm worried that once everyone starts fighting, they won't be able to stop.

Although he was at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation, he believed that he and his sister would not suffer losses if they joined forces.

The same applies to Di Jun and Tai Yi.

Qi, aren't you afraid of getting beaten to death?

"How's that thought? This is much more interesting."

At this point, Qi became somewhat excited, saying that this kind of debate was more interesting.

In particular, he specifically studied the theoretical weaknesses of the others.

We'll definitely be able to exploit their weaknesses! Let's claim first place in the article.

"Won't this affect our relationship?"

Fuxi was still somewhat hesitant. He was most skilled in divination and felt confident that he could not possibly lose this time.

The concern was that the loser would lose face and affect the relationships between everyone.

"Of course not. We can't be so intolerant as to not accept better viewpoints."

Qi was confident that his friendships wouldn't be affected by such a thing.

"Then it's settled. Once we're out of the pass, we'll do this."

Nuwa's tone was full of excitement; such a thrilling thing was rare.

She had absolute confidence in her own destiny and didn't think there would be any loopholes that could be exploited.

Such a discussion may only happen once in a lifetime, and if you don't participate and miss it, you may never have such an opportunity again.

"Alright, it's a deal. I'll wait for you two to emerge from seclusion so we can celebrate this grand occasion together."

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Fuxi could only smile wryly and went into seclusion to rebuild his cultivation.

He needs to be prepared, just in case, so that he doesn't end up speechless after being refuted.

Qi also went into seclusion to prepare for this Dao discussion. Although he was equally confident, he still had to reserve some resources.

Before going into seclusion, Qi first went to Yunmengze and found a deserted body of water.

A special formation was set up there to prevent the leakage of power.

We can't let Yunmengze be destroyed because of a single discussion.

One should always take care of one's own dojo, and at the same time, inform all other tribes to stay away from this place.

Leave enough space for discussion.

With every gesture, immense magical power gathered, and he prayed to empty all the islands and mountains in this area of ​​water.

Over the years, the water level that had receded due to Taiyi's preaching has recovered.

Because of the abundant spiritual energy and the nourishment from the various energies after the death of the ferocious beasts, Yunmeng Marsh has expanded considerably.

Some mountain ranges turned into small islands in the marshland, and many creatures migrated to the vicinity of Yunmeng Marsh.

The native creatures of Yunmengze also migrated, as they needed an environment for trade and communication with the outside world.

This has resulted in many empty bodies of water in the Yunmeng Marsh.

In addition, the core area is Qi's dojo, and no one dares to disturb it on ordinary days.

This results in the fact that the core of Yunmengze, where spiritual energy and vitality are most abundant and vibrant, has the fewest living beings.

In the end, it basically became a paradise for all kinds of medicinal herbs and elixirs.

Qi then summoned Bai Ling, circled a section around the core area, and instructed her:

"In a few days, I and several fellow Daoists will gather here to discuss the Dao and debate the scriptures."

"Before the discourse concludes, you must guard this area to prevent being harmed by its aftershocks."

After Bai Ling agreed, he reminded her not to come and listen to the lecture, as it would be of no benefit to her.

After agreeing, Bai Ling had some doubts and asked Qi:

"Your Majesty has never cared about others coming to listen to your sermons before. Is there something unusual this time?"

Seeing Bai Ling's curiosity, Qi didn't explain anything, but simply waved his hand to tell him not to worry about it.

Bai Ling was halfway there when Qi called him back, telling him to prepare more spiritual fruits and lotus seeds, and also to make sure there was plenty of fine wine.

They went to various tribes to find creatures skilled in dance and music, and prepared a feast.

After all, when friends gather, they should first enjoy some drinks and a feast, and chat about their daily lives.

Although we don't know when they will arrive, it's always good to prepare in advance.

Even if they are a thousand or ten thousand years late, the benefits they gain from cultivating at the core will not be less.

This is actually a rare opportunity for ordinary living beings.

After reviewing the arrangements and finding no oversights, Qi went into seclusion to prepare for the upcoming discussion among the five.
