The Thirty-Eighth Chapter

Regardless, the plan that consumed three hundred billion Merit has been successfully achieved.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Changsheng noticed that the fortune of Wuji Heaven was becoming increasingly prosperous.

This was not unexpected.

Three consecutive days of Merit rain had genuinely benefited all living beings, with the advantages being obvious.

In comparison, the actions of other Saints paled in significance.

In fact, this effect was even more pronounced than when Hongjun lectured on the Dao back then.

Hongjun's lecture was only aimed at powerful beings with profound cultivation, whereas Lu Changsheng's Merit rain benefited all living creatures in the Primordial World.

In other words, it won the hearts of the masses.

The fortune naturally followed, soaring upwards.

However, while others might place great importance on fortune, Lu Changsheng was completely indifferent to it.

The amount of fortune had no impact on him.

His mind was currently filled with thoughts of how to continue "squandering" the Merit.

Yet, the fortune that Lu Changsheng disregarded was something that one person cared about immensely—Hongjun.

At this moment, Hongjun's face was ashen.

He could clearly feel the fortune of Zixiao Palace constantly draining away.

The root cause was precisely because Lu Changsheng had blessed all beings with Merit, greatly increasing his prestige, and consequently, the fortune of Wuji Heaven flourished.

With one rising and the other falling, the fortune of his Zixiao Palace was naturally affected.

If this continued, his own fortune might even be seized by Lu Changsheng.

"Lu Changsheng, are you determined to oppose this Dao Ancestor to the very end?"

If Lu Changsheng could hear these words, he would likely find them utterly baffling.

He was busy "playing the prodigal," why would he care about fortune or lack thereof?

Just like at this moment—

As countless beings in the Primordial World knelt and thanked Saint Changsheng in unison, Lu Changsheng spoke again.

And this time, it caused the entire Primordial World to tremble once more!

"I, Saint Changsheng, hereby proclaim to the Primordial World: In a hundred years, I will lecture on the method of becoming a Saint in Wuji Heaven—the Primordial Unity Dao Scripture."

"By cultivating this Dao method, even without Primordial Violet Qi, there is a chance to attain Primordial Unity!"

The rolling sound of Primordial Unity magic power resonated through the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and all living beings in the Primordial World heard it clearly.

The moment the words fell, heaven and earth shook, and the Primordial World erupted in a frenzy!

Concurrently, a drastic change occurred within Zixiao Palace!

The sound of rumbling was incessant!

Dao Ancestor Hongjun was violently shaken, his aura surging and powerful, sweeping through the entire palace, even causing the palace walls to crack with gaping fissures!

He was furious and roared, "Lu Changsheng! What is the meaning of this!"

While the Zixiao Palace in the Outer Heavens churned with power, the beings of the Primordial World were completely unaware.

Within Wuji Heaven, East King Duke, Daoist Burning Lamp, and Kunpeng were overcome with excitement.

What did Master's words imply? It was an unparalleled opportunity!

A method to become a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal without needing Primordial Violet Qi!

Wasn't this more profound than Hongjun's method of severing three corpses?

They naturally understood that becoming a Saint was by no means an easy feat.

It wasn't as if one could become a Saint immediately upon obtaining the method.

If that were the case, since the creation of heaven and earth, including Master, only eight Saints would have emerged.

This indicated that becoming a Saint required a combination of method, aptitude, and resources, with none being dispensable.

Now, the method was secured.

In terms of aptitude, they were all Innate divine beings.

As for resources—this was Wuji Heaven!

The Master they served was known throughout the Primordial World as the greatest spendthrift!

He had once transformed Merit into rain for three consecutive days, and possessed countless Primordial Violet Qi!

With such resources, becoming a Saint might truly not be a mere fantasy!

As Master's chief attendants, they would undoubtedly have the advantage of proximity!

Thinking of this, the three trembled with excitement, secretly discussing how to show their loyalty to the Master.

Meanwhile, Lu Changsheng's daoist sound spread throughout the Primordial World, shaking all living beings!

The Demon Race Heavenly Court suddenly erupted with soaring demonic energy.

Di Jun and Taiyi's faces flushed red, filled with exhilaration.

"With this method of becoming a Saint, we too have hope of proving the Dao!"

"Then we can legitimately rule the Heavenly Court, no longer fearing any constraints!"

Fuxi was also uncontrollably excited and advised, "We should quickly go outside Wuji Heaven to await him; we absolutely must not lose courtesy!"

"Good, let's depart immediately!"

Di Jun nodded solemnly.

With a command, the majestic Demon Race Heavenly Court rumbled to life, and the Thirty-three Heavens immediately displayed magnificent phenomena!

The three hundred and sixty Zhou Tian stars seemed to sway precariously, and the world was thrown into turmoil!

At the same moment, below Buzhou Mountain.

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's words, the Witch Clan members were instantly filled with righteous indignation.

The Ancestor Witches' eyes flickered with fervent light.

In the past, the Witch Clan had no connection to becoming a Saint.

Now that the Witch Clan had developed Primordial Spirits, the path to Sainthood was no longer an illusion.

This sermon must not be missed.

In an instant, the vast Witch Clan army set off, kicking up dust that obscured the sun!

It wasn't just the Demon and Witch Clans; other ancient powerful beings across the Primordial World were also stirred.

In Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi abruptly stood up and exchanged a glance with Hongyun beside him.

"Saint Changsheng is preaching, such an opportunity is rare in a thousand years!"

Before the words even fell, the two were already riding clouds straight towards Wuji Heaven.

Ancestor Ming He of the endless Sea of Blood, Queen Mother of the West of the Western Kunlun... powerful beings from all sides set off one after another.

Several figures with majestic auras shot up into the sky, all flying towards Wuji Heaven.

Even those powerful beings who had lived in seclusion since ancient times, detached from worldly affairs, could not remain still at this moment.

Even the tribulations of the era could not disturb their minds, but upon hearing the news of Lu Changsheng's sermon, these reclusive cultivators all emerged from their retreats and headed straight for Wuji Heaven!

After all, it was the method to become a Saint!

High above the Nine Heavens, Lu Changsheng's words stirred the hearts of countless beings in the Primordial World, and even the Six Sages could not help but sigh in admiration.

"Saint Changsheng's heart is for all beings, his mind is vast and broad, I am not his equal."

Taiqing sighed sincerely.

Primordial, Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, and the other Saints all nodded in agreement.

The method to become a Saint, Saint Changsheng was willing to impart it to the world; such magnanimity, the Saints present might not possess.

If this method were their own, they would likely only teach it to their disciples, rather than benefiting the entire Primordial World.

For a moment, all the Saints felt ashamed of their inferiority.

Then, the Saints exchanged glances, descended from their clouds, entered Wuji Heaven, and came before Lu Changsheng.

Seeing the arrival of the Six Sages, a smile appeared on Lu Changsheng's face.

Before his plan to create Saints was achieved, the Six Sages were still important helpers for him to expend Merit—only they could open up Great Thousand Worlds.

Therefore, Lu Changsheng's attitude towards them was naturally different.

Lu Changsheng's kindness and amiability made the Six Sages feel even more ashamed.

Since proving the Dao and becoming Saints, they had long been accustomed to their lofty positions, viewing all beings as ants.

They had forgotten that all beings were seeking the Dao, and they had merely taken a few steps ahead.

Those empty titles and positions were truly insignificant before the Great Dao.

Thinking of this, they could not help but admire Lu Changsheng even more.

Thus, they all lowered their postures and respectfully said:

"We congratulate Fellow Daoist Changsheng on proving the Dao to Primordial Unity."

"Fellow Daoist's heart is broad and inclusive, embracing all rivers; we are truly ashamed of our inferiority."

Even Taiqing, the head of the Six Sages, lowered his stance and addressed Lu Changsheng as 'Fellow Daoist'.

Lu Changsheng heard this and couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't know the intentions of the Six Sages.

Taiqing continued, "Fellow Daoist Changsheng's enlightenment was marked by a golden rain of Merit from the heavens. Now, he preaches to all beings, benefiting the Primordial World. We are no match for him."

Lu Changsheng finally understood.

"So that's it, you all misunderstood. I just wanted to spend some Merit."

He waved his hand and smiled, truly unconcerned.

But the Six Sages didn't see it that way.

How precious was Merit? Who would ever think they had too much?

Only a fool would act solely for the purpose of spending Merit.

But how could Lu Changsheng be a fool?

He had already attained enlightenment as a Primordial Unity. If he were a fool, wouldn't they, the Six Sages, be even more foolish?

Therefore, Fellow Daoist Changsheng must be being humble!

Seeing the "we understand" look in the Six Sages' eyes, Lu Changsheng knew they had once again imagined something completely unrelated to his true intentions.

He decided to stop explaining.

Since they didn't believe him, he would let them think what they wanted.

"By the way, Brother Dao, since you have attained enlightenment as a Primordial Unity, why don't we discuss the Dao?"

"Fellow Daoist Changsheng's sermon is still a hundred years away. Why not take this opportunity to exchange Daoist methods?"

Taiqing proposed.

Lu Changsheng considered that he indeed had nothing to do.

The Shore Flower was still recovering and couldn't accelerate the production of Primordial Violet Qi. Merit also had no better place to go for the time being.

Discussing the Dao with the Six Sages could pass the time.

He readily agreed.

The seven of them immediately sat cross-legged in the void and began to preach.

However, as their discussion deepened, the Six Sages became increasingly alarmed.

They had originally thought that since they had been Sages for a long time, they could take the opportunity to guide Lu Changsheng during the sermon and foster good relations.

However, they soon realized that Lu Changsheng had grasped the true meaning of the Three Thousand Laws.

No matter what law they mentioned, Lu Changsheng not only responded fluently but could even enlighten them in return.

This was truly shocking!

How had he accomplished this?

The Six Sages were deeply shaken.

In the past, they had only thought that Lu Changsheng was wealthy.

But now they understood that Lu Changsheng truly possessed real skill and knowledge.

Had he really just attained the Great Dao?

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed.

Outside Wuji Heaven, the place was already bustling with activity.

Over the past century, various forces had appeared.

The first to arrive were the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan.

As the two overlords of the Primordial World, their presence was immense, and the scene was spectacular.

On the Demon Clan's side, hundreds of millions of demon soldiers arrived like a vast, covering army, exuding an imposing aura.

At first glance, one might have thought the Demon Clan had mobilized its entire force for all-out war.

But in reality, they had all come to listen to the sermon.

The Witch Clan was no less impressive. The entire clan moved as one, their battle intent soaring, the smoke of war rolling, stretching for a million miles across the Primordial World.

After arriving outside Wuji Heaven, the two clans, with great tacit understanding, separated and stood on either side, not disturbing each other.

They knew that in the face of an opportunity to become a Sage, personal grudges could be set aside for now.

Following them, the great powers of the Primordial World also arrived one after another.

Zhen Yuanzi, Hongyun, Queen Mother of the West, Ancestor Ming He, and others, all figures renowned in the Primordial World.

Looking at the grand scene outside Wuji Heaven, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't help but sigh, "This scene and occasion are truly an unprecedented grand event in the Primordial World."

"Even when the Dao Ancestor preached back then, it was nothing more than this."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhen Yuanzi let out a soft exclamation.

"Isn't that Old Ancestor Huanyue, famous since the era of the Three Tribes? I didn't expect him to be here too."

"And Fellow Daoist Qinglian, a hidden master who attained the Dao in ancient times."

"They've both appeared here."

Numerous powerful beings were shaken.

The last to arrive were countless beings from the Primordial World.

Their cultivation levels varied, and their numbers were vast, forming a dense, dark mass that spread across the heavens.

When had the Primordial World ever seen such a scene?

Billions of beings gathered, creating a magnificent spectacle!

Such a commanding presence, capable of rallying everyone, could only be achieved by Wuji Heaven!

Even disciples from the major Saint sects had come.

Just as everyone was marveling, a peerless aura suddenly descended.

All beings turned their heads in unison and saw—

A young figure, with an ethereal aura like an immortal and peerless beauty, strode slowly from the depths of the void. Lotuses bloomed beneath his feet with every step, and divine radiance flowed around him.

Above his head floated auspicious clouds of all heavens, and immense violet qi stretched across a million miles of the Primordial World.
