Great Emperor Dao!
Eight-Wastes City.
The 'Eight-Wastes Daoist' looked inward at himself. Deep within his Primordial Spirit, which flickered with firelight, lay a dark vortex where nothing could be seen.
Five strands of Primordial Spirit flew out.
It landed on the Daoist's fingertips.
With a flick of the Daoist's finger, it flew into the void and disappeared.
The Earth Immortal Realm.
Yellow Wind Ridge.
Green Bamboo Cave.
Lu Qingfeng closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, immersed in a profound state of mind.
Deep within the Primordial Spirit.
Every part of the physical body.
The shimmering light of the glass flowed and merged, forming a wall that resembled layers of glass. Upon closer inspection, there were as many as ninety-nine layers.
This day.
But then, the glass light shimmered faintly, and from nothing to something, specks of light bloomed, and in just an instant, a layer of glass wall emerged.
One hundred layers of glazed tile walls!
"It's done!"
Lu Qingfeng suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light shining from them. As his mind raced, he realized that he had advanced to the Sixth Layer the "Intent Comprehension" realm, the "Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall".
These years of arduous practice.
Finally, he achieved the second Great Divine Ability, besides the 'Five-Colored Divine Light,' which he cultivated to the Sixth Layer.
"Great Divine Ability at the 'Intent Comprehension' level."
"That Bare-Body Cult Master 'Kumbhanda' won't be able to scheme against me so easily again!"
Lu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
Outside the Southern Florescence Realm.
Although he was somewhat alert, he managed to escape thanks to his elder brother, the Great Sage Huangfeng.
But the Celestial Immortal being blocking the door also served as a wake-up call for Lu Qingfeng—
The 'Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall' of the fifth realm was more than enough in my opinion before.
But as he came into contact with higher and higher levels.
That's not enough to look at.
Limited by his cultivation level, ordinary Celestial Immortal couldn't fathom his secrets. Even if they possessed treasures capable of deducing heavenly secrets, Lu Qingfeng was not afraid.
The Crystal Ball in the Withered Bamboo Elder's hand, for example, is a treasure of heavenly secrets, yet it cannot reveal Lu Qingfeng's whereabouts.
But there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding.
When Lu Qingfeng encountered the 'Shadow-Seeking Crystal Disk' of the Kumbhanda, he almost suffered a setback.
Therefore.
After returning to Yellow Wind Ridge, Lu Qingfeng first quickly attained the Earth Immortal, improving his cultivation. He then went into seclusion in Green Bamboo Cave, consolidating his newly acquired Dao fruit while frantically comprehending the "Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall" using the "Enlightenment" technique.
Ten years.
Century.
Nine hundred years.
Hard work pays off.
He preached for nine years in real life.
After nine hundred years of studying and comprehending Great Divine Ability in the game, he finally pushed the second Great Divine Ability, which was just one step away from being mastered, to the Sixth Layer of 'Intent Comprehension'.
From then on, his Divine Ability greatly improved, and he became deeply acquainted with the secrets of heaven.
His cultivation level also rose from True Immortal to Earth Immortal.
Over a thousand years, the improvement has been substantial.
Earth Immortal cultivation level.
The Sixth Layer is the 'Invert-Grand-Void Glazed Wall'.
Kumbhanda wanted to use the 'Shadow-Seeking Crystal Disk' to calculate him again, it would be wishful thinking. Even in reality, it would be much safer, and there would be no fear of being schemed against.
One of the hidden worries has been removed.
Lu Qingfeng felt a sense of relief.
I stood up and went to the Azure Bamboo Blessed Land.
Nine years in reality, nine hundred years in the game, but nine thousand years have passed in the Azure Bamboo Blessed Land.
If I count on my fingers...
Forty thousand years have passed since the creation of this Blessed Land.
These years.
Apart from those three sermons nine thousand years ago, Lu Qingfeng did not interfere much with the evolution and operation of Azure Bamboo Blessed Land.
He merely acts as an observer, watching the evolution of heaven and earth, the rise and fall of Spirit Birth, and the ever-changing and endless spiritual rhythms within them.
Nine thousand years.
For ordinary Spirit Birth, that is a long enough period of time.
Before Lu Qingfeng traveled to Earth, the once mighty nation had only a history of five thousand years.
In the Azure Bamboo Blessed Land.
Since Lu Qingfeng passed down the Great Dao, Spirit Birth have come to understand and cultivate it.
Suddenly, a hundred flowers bloomed.
Powerful cultivators emerged one after another, giving rise to all sorts of strange and wonderful cultivation systems.
Like the Immortal Dao.
Like the Fangxian Path.
Like the Nature-Life Dao.
These were all passed down by Lu Qingfeng.
To Lu Qingfeng's surprise, the Blessed Land contained even more cultivation systems. Although many of them had flaws and omissions, and some were even dead ends, making it impossible to attain Changsheng.
But in the end, it is the culmination of countless wisdoms.
In the Azure Bamboo Blessed Land, the Spirit Birth beings is only one-tenth of that in the outside world, even less than that in the 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm'. Fifth-order Spirit Birth, comparable to True Immortal, can only live for ten thousand years at most if they cannot cultivate into 'False Immortal'.
Lu Qingfeng drew inspiration from the 'Lesser Shu Mountain Realm' and set up numerous tribulations to prevent the rapid proliferation of Spirit Birth from causing the Blessed Land to expand too slowly, resulting in insufficient resources that would hinder his own cultivation.
Under numerous calamities.
In a short life.
It bursts forth with unimaginable wisdom.
In the small Azure Bamboo Blessed Land, many paths such as the Immortal Dao Path, the Fangxian Path, Nature-Life Dao coexist, and cultivators from various systems compete for supremacy.
Among them, the best are, for example, 'Stone Ancestor'.
'Stone Ancestor' Attainment of the Dao the first stone in the world to attain enlightenment, possessing extraordinary talent.
I once listened to the Immortal Ancestor preach three times in the Green Bamboo Palace.
He forged a new path from the various paths of Immortal Dao, the Fangxian Path, and the Nature-Life Dao, and created the "Stone Ancestor Heart Sutra" method.
Unlike other methods.
The Stone Ancestor Heart Sutra divides the path of spiritual practice into 'five great secret realms'—
Starting from the 'Sea of Wheels', one cultivates into a human body, enters the 'Tao Palace' secret realm, cultivates the five internal organs, establishes the Five Elements, and then goes to the 'Four Extremes' secret realm to cultivate the four limbs.
Next is the 'Transformation Bamboo' Secret Realm, which is inspired by climbing Azure Bamboo Peak and observing the Green Bamboo.
The Stone Ancestor likened the human spine to Green Bamboo. This secret realm is divided into nine transformations, with a section of Green Bamboo growing in each transformation. From the coccyx to the cervical vertebrae, after the nine transformations are completed, the spine will show Green Bamboo, and this secret realm will be considered complete.
From then on, they set foot in the secret realm of 'Immortal Platform'.
The 'Immortal Platform' Secret Realm has six levels, each a pure land within the mind, with each level comparable to a major realm, and each level divided into nine smaller steps.
By the Third Layer, one is already at the level of the Spirit Clan Chief, the Beast Commander, and the Top Demon God.
Upon reaching the Fourth Layer, one is known as the 'King'.
The fifth level is called the 'Emperor'.
The sixth level is called 'Great Sage'.
By the time his lifespan ended, 'Stone Ancestor' had only cultivated to the 'Great Sage' realm, yet he was already an invincible figure within three thousand miles of heaven and earth, and was revered as 'Great Sage Stone Ancestor'.
According to the deductions of the 'Great Sage Stone Ancestor', there should be Sixth Layer realm above the five great secret realms of the 'Stone Ancestor Heart Sutra', which he calls the 'Great Emperor' realm.
It means that I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth.
It's a pity.
Even before his death, the Stone Ancestor could not reach this level. At the 'Great Sage' realm, he endured the three periods of decay, but ultimately could not withstand the passage of time and the will of Heaven. He entered the valley where Attainment of the Dao enlightenment and passed away peacefully.
After his death.
The valley became a forbidden area, and anyone who entered without permission would be put to death. Later generations called it the "Stone Ancestor Forbidden Land".
A poem praises it as follows:
"Heaven and earth are the furnace of creation, and human life is born and dies in a single thought. The sea of suffering is boundless, and all sigh in despair. Only I wish to cross it as Green Bamboo."
Stone Ancestor wanted to emulate the 'Immortal Ancestor', transform into 'Green Bamboo', and become the 'Great Emperor'.
Although the task was not yet completed.
Yet it also left behind a timeless tale, a legend that will last for millennia.
Although the Stone Ancestor died, the lineage of Daoist teachings was not severed.
Since the time of Stone Ancestor, many people have practiced the "Stone Ancestor Heart Sutra".
Many hands make light work.
Through continuous additions and the collision of wisdom, the path explored by the Stone Ancestor gradually became a system, giving rise to many methods. With the influence of the 'Great Sage Stone Ancestor' spanning countless ages, this path is in no way inferior to the Immortal Dao or the Fangxian Path.
The Sea of Reincarnation Realm.
The Dao Palace Realm.
The Four Extremes Realm.
The Bamboo Transformation Realm.
Immortal Platform Realm.
Your Great Emperor!
Therefore, the ultimate goal of Daoism is to cultivate to the realm of the immortal 'Great Emperor,' hence it is called by later generations—
'The Great Emperor Dao'!
"The Great Emperor Dao".
Lu Qingfeng looked at the 'Stone Ancestor Holy Land' established by Stone Ancestor's disciple, 'Stone Man King'.
This is the most powerful force in the 'Great Emperor Dao' lineage, and a sacred place in the hearts of all Spirit Birth who cultivate the 'Great Emperor Dao'.
Inside, there is not only the Holy Land Lord "Stone Man King" who has cultivated to the Fourth Layer of the Immortal Platform realm, the "King" realm, but also two people below the "World King" who are at the first three levels of the Immortal Platform realm.
Many more have reached the Four Extremes and the Bamboo Transformation Realm.
It is undoubtedly the most sacred place in the world.
"The ultimate goal of this path is the 'Great Emperor' realm. If one can reach that, it is truly a righteous path that leads directly to the 'False Immortal' realm."
Lu Qingfeng looked down at the Spirit Birth of this Blessed Land, paying particular attention to the cultivators practicing the 'Great Emperor Dao,' and couldn't help but nod in approval.
This approach also has some merit for him.
Although it has limitations and its potential is far less than that of the orthodox immortal Immortal Dao, and it is also much inferior to the Nature-Life Dao, it is still a relatively complete path.
Experience it for yourself.
It can also enrich Lu Qingfeng's foundation Earth Immortal and enhance his wisdom and Radiance.
The cultivation of Earth Immortal is accumulated little by little in this way.
I've seen the changes that have occurred in this little world over this period.
Lu Qingfeng then went to see the Treasure Gourd on Azure Bamboo Peak.
The four poles of heaven and earth constantly draw upon the power of Chaos from beyond the Chaos, transforming it into strands of primordial energy to strengthen the blessed Blessed Land. This energy is then transformed into Spiritual Qi and immortal energy, providing sustenance for Spirit Birth to cultivate.
However, a portion of it was swallowed by the Treasure Gourd.
The gourd vines are emerald green, and six lifelike Treasure Gourd sway on the vines.
Two little boys, dressed in green and white, with their short legs, carried wooden buckets and huffed and puffed as they watered the gourd vines with spiritual water. When they got tired, they would lean against the gourd vines and swing on them, their mouths never stopping as they chattered about what they had seen and heard on and off the mountain.
Lu Qingfeng arrived.
The two young boys widened their eyes, jumped up, and bowed to Lu Qingfeng, addressing him as "Master."
"Go and rest."
Two bright red peaches rolled out of Lu Qingfeng's sleeve and landed in the arms of the boy in green and the boy in white, respectively.
The two boys, drooling over the peaches, thanked them joyfully and then ran down the mountain.
"Nine thousand years."
"The second Treasure Gourd is almost ripe."
Lu Qingfeng gazed at the Treasure Gourd, his heart filled with joy.
The first Treasure Gourd was used to create the "Zhurong Boy," who cultivated the "Great Zhurong Method" and whose understanding of fire magic far surpassed that of the original body.
Although he hasn't gone to the Huoyun Cave of Mount Hao to cultivate yet, he is already close to becoming Earth Immortal. His cultivation of fire-based Divine Ability is progressing at an astonishing speed, and he can advance by leaps and bounds every day without needing the "Enlightenment" technique.
It's like having an accelerator on.
This truly delighted Lu Qingfeng.
I'm increasingly looking forward to the birth of this second Treasure Gourd.
On the gourd vine, the Orange Gourd bounced up and down three times in the air without falling to the ground. From inside the gourd came a child's clear and loud voice. "Almost there, almost there, it will be born soon."
A sound rang out.
It started swaying and rocking again, seemingly happily.
Lu Qingfeng was indeed in a good mood.
Just as he was about to cultivate by the Treasure Gourd, he suddenly heard someone calling from outside. He quickly moved and left the Blessed Land.
