The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 119 This child is terrifyingly powerful; he must not be allowed to live!

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao."

"A name that can be named is not a permanent name."

"Nameless, it is the origin of all things; named, it is the mother of all things."

"Therefore, one should always be without desire, so as to observe its subtleties; one should always have desire, so as to observe its manifestations..."

The Celestial Venerable preached the Dao, displaying a myriad of magnificent phenomena.

Golden lotuses descended from the sky, divine springs gushed from the earth, all the heavens chanted in unison, and the myriad worlds resounded with their echoes.

Feng Xi sat in the hall, listening intently.

A most beautiful and magnificent picture appeared in his mind's eye in a trance; it was the ultimate interpretation of the Three Thousand Great Daos!

The Three Pure Ones are: Yuanshi (元始) is in charge of creation, Lingbao (灵宝) is in charge of ending, and Daode Tianzun (道德天尊) is in charge of preservation!

This Celestial Venerable is the most authoritative voice on the evolution of heaven and earth.

With every word he spoke, he guided the beings listening to the Dao in the hall to soar and transcend, seemingly breaking free from the constraints of the ordinary world on the human body and mind, standing at a most transcendent perspective, and seeing the interaction and evolution of the three thousand Great Daos from a high vantage point.

The rise and fall of all things are seen before one's eyes!

The rise and fall, their intertwining and overlapping, ultimately transformed into a long river—

The long river of time!

The perspective transcends the limitations of one's own strength and vision, calmly observing the birth and death of all things, the birth and death, and all the shock and excitement... in the end, all return to tranquility.

This tranquility is not like a stagnant pool, but rather like a long river of time, vast and boundless.

Because of its vastness and immensity, it possesses the broadest mind to bear all rights and wrongs, honors and disgrace, and to see through all rises and falls.

Because, all the rights and wrongs in the world, all the things that are happening now, have actually already been played out in a similar way... Sitting and watching the years, taking the past and the future into one's heart, this is the level of vision of those who stand at the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

The highest good is like water!

……

Feng Xi felt he benefited greatly from the teachings of the Celestial Venerable of Morality.

Here, he almost forgot all the conspiracies and schemes, and put aside the petty scheming of the outside world.

I wholeheartedly devoted myself to this rare opportunity to listen to the teachings, to verify what I had learned and practiced in the past, and to verify what I had learned and practiced with the ancestral shamanic tradition, so as to draw on the resources and elevate myself.

"The Great Dao of the Ancestral Shamans subtly reveals the principles of Yin and Yang in its essence. For example, the Five Elements Ancestral Shamans divide wood into Jia and Yi, fire into Bing and Ding, earth into Wu and Ji, metal into Geng and Xin, and water into Ren and Gui… The fundamental principle elucidates the opposition of Yin and Yang."

The Three Pure Ones represent the sequential progression of creation, existence, and end...

Both sides hold endless mysteries!

Feng Xi pondered and deliberated little by little, using the transcendent perspective provided by the Celestial Venerable to try to integrate all his knowledge and forge his own path.

The lineage of the twelve ancestral witches, the pseudo-Dutian Grand Array which involves some of the mysteries of Pangu, and the Nine Axes of Creation which are also related to Pangu... everything is being integrated, tempered, and reborn.

Gradually, he entered a state of enlightenment.

It was under such special circumstances.

At the same moment, the voice of the Moral Celestial Venerable on the podium paused for an almost imperceptible instant, his gaze sweeping over Feng Xi.

Although Feng Xi possessed an innate spiritual treasure to protect her fate, it seemed that... this Celestial Venerable had noticed something.

However, the Celestial Venerable remained calm. A hint of a smile flashed deep in his eyes, and then everything proceeded as usual, as if nothing had happened.

He spoke of his philosophy, and Feng Xi suddenly realized his own understanding.

The Dao of the Ancestral Witches, the mysteries of Pangu... none of these are simple.

Normally, even if Feng Xi wanted to integrate them, transform them into his own thoughts, and make them the resources for his own Great Dao, he probably wouldn't be able to take more than a few steps, even if he were given a thousand or eight million years.

But who made him have this sudden realization?

In a state of sudden enlightenment, inspiration flows like a spring, and no matter what difficulties or obstacles lie ahead, there is no problem that a "sudden inspiration" cannot solve.

A sudden enlightenment is something that defies logic.

With such a buff, Feng Xi's path of cultivation was transformed from an insurmountable barrier into a smooth road, accelerating at a speed a thousand times faster than before. A single day of enlightenment was better than thirty years of good fortune.

Even so, initial success is not something that can be achieved in a short period of time.

It starts at 100,000 years.

But who made this the occasion for the Celestial Venerable to preach?

As a top-tier, renowned, and powerful being in the primordial world—the Moral Celestial Venerable—how could his preaching be anything but excellent?

The Celestial Venerable of Morality had to simultaneously face a diverse array of disciples and grand-disciples with varying talents, learning abilities, and teaching paces. He also had to finish his sermons within a short year to make room for the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who was right next to him, and avoid a farcical situation of internal competition. Most importantly, he also had to produce some results so that the students who came to learn and listen to the sermons would gain something, and not ruin his reputation as a top lecturer and a lifelong professor at the Taoist academy.

This is certainly true skill.

The Celestial Venerable has mastered the ability to teach according to aptitude. What appears to be one-on-one group classes actually have a deeper meaning, almost like one-on-one guidance, with individual tutoring provided at an exceptional pace.

The guidance broadens horizons and provides insightful perspectives, enabling everyone to explore and find their own path forward, while also offering unexpected surprises based on their individual talents and wisdom.

When you are listening to the teachings and learning here, the more you are absorbed, the less you notice the external time and environment, and time will quietly slow down.

But if someone has a sudden enlightenment like Feng Xi, completely forgetting time... then time will also forget him.

He may have actually cultivated for thousands of years, but the actual passage of time in the outside world was only a short half-minute.

It is like a secret realm of time for the witch clan.

The difference is that the Celestial Venerable of Morality never deliberately opens up such a secret realm; he simply hides this method in his sermons as a reward and commendation for those who are sincere in their pursuit of the Dao.

For Feng Xi at this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the passing of time seemed to freeze. A fleeting moment seemed to have become eternity.

He wanders in the vast ocean of knowledge, improving himself with the utmost humility and thirst for knowledge.

A unique path of thought is being forged, encompassing a grasp of the laws of heaven and earth, as well as an understanding of humanity.

The mastery of the laws of heaven and earth comes from the ancestral witches, from Pangu.

The idea of ​​humanity stems from the various fragments of civilizations collected along the route Emperor Jiang took to establish diplomatic relations, from reflections on the times, from the conception of creating and breaking the cycle of reincarnation, and from reflections on the future path of humanity.

All of the above are still very immature and have many flaws in the eyes of the great figures of Luo.

But this already belongs to Feng Xi!

This is his way, his method, which contains his heart and his wisdom. He is no longer someone who blindly imitates others, merely following in the footsteps of the ancestral shamans.

A fundamental qualitative change!

When Feng Xi awoke from her epiphany, she radiated a luminous glow—the glow of wisdom, the glow of the soul.

This, in a daze, seemed to possess a trace of the innate, indestructible spiritual light of a Great Luo Immortal!

Although, in reality, it is still far from being perfect.

But his future is no longer uncertain.

Yu Chen, who was sitting not far from him, glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and almost began to question his existence.

"etc!"

"This script is wrong!"

On stage, he preached morality, while off stage, Yu Chen was making a fuss. He held his chin, which was about to fall to the ground, and forcefully pulled it back. His eyes twitched and twitched incessantly, and a thousand alpacas were stampeding through his heart.

The script for Feng Xi's current development was originally in Yu Chen's hands!

Correct!

That's right!

Just change the main character.

A sudden realization.

sublimation.

Be the coolest kid around.

Afterwards, the Moral Celestial Venerable, who imparts knowledge and teaches, awarded the outstanding students with the Progress Award and the Three Good Students Award, and bestowed upon them a primordial spiritual treasure—the Seven-Star Sword—as encouragement.

"You damned Feng Xi, you stole my spotlight!" Yu Chen barely managed to keep his expression from crumbling, but inwardly he was cursing the heavens. "On the first day of your sermon, you didn't even prepare yourself before having an epiphany? Do you even have any sense of reason?"

"That's going too far!"

"That's too much!"

He stared intently at Feng Xi, his gaze filled with deep resentment, leaving the originally intended supporting character, who had stolen the spotlight from the protagonist in the grand sermon and left the protagonist with nowhere to go, puzzled.

"Yu Chen, what's wrong with you?" Feng Xi raised an eyebrow and secretly transmitted her voice, "What kind of look is that? Did I knock you out? Or hit you with a brick? Why do you look so bitter and resentful?"

Hearing these words, Yu Chen felt a lump in his throat, and his heart ached with sharp pain.

What could be more hurtful than a perpetrator looking completely innocent and bewildered?

Even following the theory won't work!

Yu Chen pondered for a moment. What if he said he was about to cheat, had prepared everything in every aspect, and even lowered his moral standards to operate, only to be met with the operators announcing that, as a celebration of the anniversary, the system had entered entertainment mode, allowing unlimited cheating...

"This will be a laughing stock, won't it?" He took a deep breath. "It will be a stain on his reputation for life, and people will drag him out and whip him every now and then..."

That kind of future is terrifying to even think about!

It's shameful that you can't even cheat!

Thinking this through, Yu Chen forcibly twisted his face back to normal and forced an ugly smile, replying telepathically, "You've got it wrong, I wasn't looking at you."

"I was looking at Qingxuan on your other side!" Yu Chen said with a straight face, making up a lie and bringing out his good friend to use first.

What is a friend?

This is!

It can be used to help you out of an awkward situation!

"You have a grudge against Qingxuan?" Feng Xi looked left and right, somewhat puzzled.

"Yes, he owes money and won't pay it back." Yu Chen had calmed down. "I just suddenly remembered... This is between us, Feng Xi, you don't need to get involved."

"Oh." Feng Xi readily agreed.

Although, deep down he felt that what Yu Chen said was untrue and very problematic.

With his exceptional talent for tricking people, Feng Xi was absolutely certain that Yu Chen had been glaring at him just now... and what the meaning behind that look was.

Feng Xi pondered for a moment.

"Hmm... It's like how I feel when those shameless guys are eyeing my position as the leader of the Merchant Alliance?" Feng Xi pondered.

Meanwhile, Yu Chen, having barely calmed himself down, met the gaze of the Moral Celestial Venerable on the podium with his lifeless, dull eyes.

Two beings with vastly different identities miraculously communicated at this moment, through the windows of the soul—the eyes.

"This is so hard for me." This is Yu Chen's inner voice.

"Tsk, Lingbao's request... I'm not denying you a chance, but you're just too useless." These were the Heavenly Venerable's inner thoughts.

Yu Chen remained silent.

"So, give up on that idea... just pretend nothing happened." The Celestial Master spoke, calmly conveying his thoughts, "Luckily, I was afraid you'd overdo it, so I didn't announce any rewards."

"..." This dealt Yu Chen the most devastating blow.

However, this only fueled his rebellious spirit: "It's not over yet, I can fight back!"

"That's really not easy." The Celestial Venerable said calmly, "That's right, I will take care of you, but it must be within the rules and reasonable... Of course, if you don't care, that's fine too."

"But in that case, I wouldn't need to get involved; Lingbao can arrange it for you directly."

"Since you have chosen this path, I will not show excessive favoritism... You have to prove that you are more talented than him before I can rightfully reward you."

"However, his epiphany was a bit too sudden. To be fair, I'm not very optimistic about your script arrangement."

"What's so difficult about that?" Yu Chen's face twitched. "I'll just have a hundred or two more epiphanies, won't that solve it?"

"When it comes to breaking the bottom line, there's only the difference between zero times and countless times!"

He deliberately severed the spiritual connection, closed his eyes, and pricked up his ears to listen to the Celestial Venerable's sermon, shaking his head and swaying his body incessantly, as if he were completely absorbed in it and gaining a great deal.

The Celestial Being watched, then silently looked away.

There's no way around it, this acting... it's just too awful!

On the contrary, Feng Xi, who was sitting not far from Yu Chen, watched with great interest.

He had a sudden epiphany, which completely consumed all the fragmented insights he had accumulated, integrating them all into a unified whole. He could have the idea for another epiphany, but he no longer had the foundation for it.

Listening to the Celestial Venerable's teachings now is merely a process of rebuilding one's foundation and expanding one's knowledge. Progress is still possible, but it's not as rapid as before.

Naturally, I also had some free time to observe my surroundings.

He watched Yu Chen's outrageous antics with great interest, as if he were in a circus.

As he watched, he almost burst out laughing—luckily, he remembered that this was a classroom and that he should show respect to the teacher.

But if it really comes to the point where she can't hold back anymore, Feng Xi won't stop.

Learn from the Buddhist academies on the western land on the other side of Buzhou Mountain, and learn from Kasyapa, who smiled when the Buddha held up a flower!

Why are you laughing?

I realized the greatness of the Celestial Venerable's spirit and the nobility of his virtue. I deeply appreciated the wonder of his teachings and felt the beauty of the Great Dao. My heart was filled with joy and happiness, and I laughed out loud naturally!

This reflects the teacher's teaching achievements!

Who dares to refute this?

Who can refute this?

Of course, doing this might feel good in the moment, but it could cause some trouble afterward.

However, Yu Chen did not give Feng Xi such an opportunity.

He shook his head and swayed, and before long, he got into the zone.

In a daze, a state of enlightenment emanated from him... just like when Feng Xi had an epiphany.

His Daoist realm was ethereal and unfathomable, yet it drew together celestial flowers, highlighting his extraordinary nature.

"Huh? You've already had an epiphany?"

Feng Xi suppressed the amused expression on her face and felt her jaw joint loosen a bit.

However, this is not the end, but only the beginning!

The beginning of a legend!

……

The Celestial Venerable of Morality preached for only one year.

But within that one year, an oddity emerged.

A unique flower that seems to have sudden enlightenment every day, just like clockwork.

Yu Chen suddenly understood the number of days in a year, which is the cycle of the heavens!

When he had his hundredth enlightenment, a hazy aura of Dao surrounded him, demonstrating the rise and fall of all things, especially emphasizing the decay of all things, from existence to non-existence.

When he had two hundred moments of enlightenment, a ray of inspiration flashed, and his state was almost identical to Feng Xi's.

When the cycle of the heavens continues, everything returns to its original simplicity.

But behind Yu Chen, a sharp sword was faintly visible, representing a further evolution of the spiritual light.

As the Heavenly Venerable was about to finish his sermon, the long sword gleamed with a cold light, as if it could cleave the vast world and re-establish earth, water, fire, and wind!

Feng Xi watched the whole process unfold before his eyes, witnessing the birth of a legend, a cheat... crossdressing, a genius!

A genius's self-cultivation requires sudden enlightenment as commonplace as eating and drinking, and the ability to readily open up a path to heaven!

Otherwise, how can one be called a "genius"?

Feng Xi felt very uneasy.

He felt threatened.

Although Yu Chen was his employee who ran errands for him.

In theory, the more outstanding an employee is, the happier their supervisor should be.

Here comes the problem.

"I've been thinking... there haven't been any situations lately where his combat abilities would be needed, have there?"

"This guy keeps piling on his combat power... what's he trying to do?"

"Do you want to rebel?"

"Do you want to challenge my authority as the leader?"

"Do you want to... seize power?"

Feng Xi was very wary, glancing at Yu Chen, her mind racing.

"Hiss... This child is terrifyingly powerful; he will likely become a great threat in the future. He must not be allowed to live!"

"Should I add this guy's name to the list of participants for the Metropolitan Games?"

"To help him shine and become a thorn in the side of powerful demons?"

He shifted slightly to make himself more comfortable. "As for whether he's willing or not... once the Nine Nether Diagram is pressed, he'll have no choice but to agree!"

Feng Xi was full of confidence.

But this confidence only lasted a short time.

Because get out of class was over, the Celestial Venerable of Morality, having finished his lecture, decided to say a few more words.

"In this class, I saw many outstanding students who have made tremendous progress and gained a great deal, which makes me very satisfied," the Celestial Venerable exclaimed. "You are the best class of students I have ever taught!"

The audience members all spoke up, becoming humble.

At that moment, before Feng Xi could even organize her thoughts and say anything... Yu Chen suddenly stood up and began to operate.

"We've gained so much because of your excellent teaching, Master Morality!" he said emotionally. "Every bit of our growth is the result of your hard work!"

"It is because of teachers of such great virtue as you, who sacrificed their own time for spiritual practice and burned themselves to illuminate the dark path ahead of us... that we have achieved what we have today!"

"Your virtue and character shine like the sun, eternally undying, and deserve to be remembered for a lifetime!"

When Yu Chen opened his mouth, Feng Xi was stunned.

This series of praises establishes the Moral Celestial Venerable as a role model for all ages.

To this, the Celestial Venerable smiled and said, "Yu Chen, you are the most outstanding student here, the best student I have ever taught... Therefore, I have decided to reward you to help you go further on your journey!"

"Come, come... I'll give you a sword strike, take this!"
