Preaching the Dao

This time, Chen Zhao's preaching merely gave a simple exposition of the Great Dao of heaven and earth, followed by an explanation of the cultivation of the Human Body Mysteries.

Though it was only the most basic explanation, it still left many cultivators feeling as though they had been enlightened, gaining a slight insight within their hearts.

The method of the Human Body Mysteries.

It was a supreme method created by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor during the Ancient Era, a method of Sowing with the Body that excavated one's own potential and cultivated the Five Great Secret Realms of the human body.

As he spoke of the Wheel and Sea Mystery, the crowd saw a phenomenon appear Above the Nine Heavens.

Chaos Qi filled the Nine Heavens. In the depths of that Chaos Qi, a vast ocean emerged—the Sea of Life.

Within this Sea of Life, a Divine Spring was ultimately born, and a Divine Bridge paved in golden light stretched toward the Other Shore of the sea.

"Everything gives rise to the five qi; the Five Elements generate and restrain one another, evolving into countless transformations."

The Five Elements Qi evolved into the Dao Palace, within which Dao Palace Deities were born.

Then, four heaven-supporting pillars emerged from the Chaos, forcing it apart. They pierced heaven and earth, radiating terrifying might.

A dragon's roar rang out as a soaring dragon shook the six directions and eight wastes before descending into Chen Zhao's spine.

As for the final Immortal Platform Realm, it was the most profound of all secret realms.

After all, the Xiantai was located in the brain, where the human body's Primordial Spirit resided. It could be called the greatest secret of the human body.

Chen Zhao only briefly explained the Celestial Platform Secret Realm.

The navel Wheel and Sea, the Five Viscera Dao Palace, the limbs' Four Extremities, the spine's Dragon Transformation, and the head's Xiantai.

Chen Zhao manifested the many secret realms and explained the methods of cultivating them.

These cultivation methods were Chen Zhao's own insights into the Human Body Mysteries. If anyone could comprehend them, they would be of great benefit to their cultivation.

The many cultivators who had come on pilgrimage listened with rapt attention.

After all, the Human Body Mysteries cultivation method explained by the Human Emperor was like a beacon on their path of cultivation, illuminating the road ahead and providing them with a direction to move forward.

Many cultivators saw great advances in their cultivation, gaining new ideas and approaches toward cultivating the Human Body Mysteries.

Their comprehension of the Great Dao also rose to a higher level.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and the year-long preaching came to an end.

In the void, Chen Zhao stopped preaching.

"The one-year period has ended. The preaching is over."

Upon hearing those words, many cultivators awakened from their Wu Dao, their faces filled with reluctance.

The cultivators present quickly regained their composure. They bowed toward Chen Zhao's location and said in gratitude, "Human Emperor, your virtue is boundless."

When they raised their heads, they discovered that the Human Emperor's figure had long since vanished from the void.

After the Human Emperor's preaching ended, the many Human Race cultivators who had come on pilgrimage could only depart, no matter how reluctant they were.

After all, no one dared disturb the Human Emperor's secluded cultivation.

The once-lively Intercepting Heaven Dao regained some of its tranquility.

Inside a palace in the depths of Intercepting Heaven Dao, Chen Zhao sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, with the Chaos Sword laid across his legs.

"As expected, Fortune Power gathered again after the preaching ended."

After the preaching ended, Chen Zhao could sense Fortune Power converging upon him from every direction.

"This Faith Power has arrived as well."

Besides Fortune Power, Chen Zhao also sensed vast Faith Power spreading toward him from all corners of the Universe Starry Sky.

He then poured all of this Faith Power into the Chaos Sword.

After absorbing Sentient Beings' Vow Power, images of Human Race citizens unexpectedly appeared upon the sword body that had originally been inscribed with the Chaos Great Dao.

There were children, youths, adults, and elders.

The countless images continuously shifted. Clearly, after absorbing such immense Sentient Beings' Vow Power, the Chaos Sword was transforming in an unknown direction.

"Given enough time, the Chaos Sword may become a true Human Emperor Sword."

Ever since he became emperor, he had continuously poured Faith Power into the Chaos Sword.

This caused the Chaos Sword to undergo a special change, transforming in the direction of a Faith Artifact.

As for the Chaos Sword, it was merely a weapon Chen Zhao had forged from Ascension Cyan Gold after obtaining it while traveling through the Starry Sky.

In truth, as a Chaos Body, his strongest weapon was his own body.

"Immortal Gold."

Thinking of this, Chen Zhao could not help but sigh.

Materials capable of forging Supreme Dao Weapons were not so easy to find.

Fortunately, his remaining lifespan was plentiful enough to allow him to seek out Immortal Gold materials for refining a weapon.

Though the Chaos Sword was also quite good, its potential was ultimately limited.

Li Jing stood outside the palace where the Human Emperor was cultivating in seclusion, his face filled with unease.

After all, the Human Emperor was far senior to him.

After that Old Sage passed away, the Human Emperor had gone to travel the Ancient Starry Road. Otherwise, Intercepting Heaven Dao would have been passed down into the Human Emperor's hands.

No one had expected that the emperor of this era would come from Intercepting Heaven Dao.

After receiving the Human Emperor's message, Li Jing had been deeply uneasy.

"Come in." A dignified voice came from within the palace, prompting Li Jing to push open the door and enter.

"Greetings, Human Emperor." Li Jing bowed respectfully.

Though the Human Emperor sat cross-legged upon the prayer mat directly before him, Li Jing could not make out the Human Emperor's face, as if it were shrouded in Chaos Qi.

Even if he saw it clearly, he would forget the Human Emperor's appearance in the next instant.

Li Jing promptly lowered his head and did not meet the Human Emperor's gaze.

"Intercepting Heaven Dao has developed quite well under your stewardship. Reviving Intercepting Heaven Dao has always been Teacher's wish."

"Now that Teacher has passed on, I also hope Intercepting Heaven Dao can continue to prosper."

Chen Zhao's tone was somewhat desolate. No matter what, he had grown up in Intercepting Heaven Dao and still held feelings for this lineage.

Although during all his years traveling through the Starry Sky, Things Have Changed, People Are Gone in Intercepting Heaven Dao.

Chen Zhao would remain in Intercepting Heaven Dao for a long time to come, perfecting his own Chaos Great Dao.

He did not wish for this lineage to decline either.

"This is the scripture I created. It may be passed down to any exceptional young talents within the lineage."

As the words fell, Chen Zhao reached out and tapped Li Jing's forehead.

Li Jing felt an unfathomable scripture suddenly appear within his mind, and his face filled with wild delight.

An Ancient Emperor Scripture!

Though Intercepting Heaven Dao possessed part of the scripture left behind by Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord from the Mythological Era.

That scripture was incomplete. During its transmission, the most crucial portion of the Celestial Platform Secret Realm volume had long since been lost.

The volumes for the other secret realms were also missing much. The only one preserved intact was likely the Salvation Scripture.

This was also why Intercepting Heaven Dao had declined.

With most of its scriptures missing, Intercepting Heaven Dao found it difficult to cultivate experts of the Celestial Platform Secret Realm.

Now that the Human Emperor had passed down an ancient scripture, Intercepting Heaven Dao possessed a complete Ancient Emperor Scripture.

With a complete Ancient Emperor Scripture, they would possess the foundation to nurture powerful experts.

Moreover, the Human Emperor had attained the Dao as a Chaos Body. The scripture he created likely contained the mysteries of the Chaos Body as well.

And the era to come would belong exclusively to the Human Emperor.

When one man attains the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

In the era when the Human Emperor ruled over the universe, Intercepting Heaven Dao would also be able to develop rapidly.
