The Three Thousand Great Dao Laws swirled around him, weaving together in resonance and evolving into boundless Dao Rhymes. Every strand of Daoic sound caused the void to bloom with countless wondrous phenomena, while billions of rays of rosy light cascaded from the heavens.
Most shocking of all was the nine hundred and ninety-nine layers of Golden Wheels of Merit behind him. Endless golden merit light illuminated the myriad heavens and worlds, brilliant as the blazing sun.
Such an earth-shaking spectacle could be achieved by no one except that immensely meritorious and renowned Saint Changsheng of the Primordial World!
"Everyone, pay your respects to Saint Changsheng!"
"Greetings, Saint Changsheng!"
All living beings of the Primordial World bowed in unison, welcoming Lu Changsheng's arrival.
Lu Changsheng merely waved his hand slightly without saying much and went straight to the point.
"I already know what you all seek."
"Today, I shall teach you the method of becoming a Saint. Listen carefully."
Such a direct proclamation left the myriad living beings stunned for a moment, before wild joy surged through them—
The opportunity to become a Saint was truly right before their eyes!
In an instant, heaven and earth fell silent, and all living beings waited expectantly.
"This method is called the Primordial Unity Dao Scripture."
"By cultivating this scripture, you can perfect your own laws, prove the Dao through laws, and become a Primordial Grand Unity Golden Immortal."
As Lu Changsheng's voice fell, the hearts and minds of all living beings in the Primordial World trembled.
A path to Primordial Unity through proving the Dao with laws—truly extraordinary!
For a time, countless fervent gazes gathered around him, unwilling to miss even the slightest word of truth.
Lu Changsheng said no more and began lecturing in a resonant voice:
"The Immortal Dao values tranquility and transforms through non-action; a ruler moves the world, breaking barriers with the weight of a thousand jun."
"Yet divine principles are distant and profound, while virtue and morality are subtle and deep. How could mortal eyes and ears discern whether their mysteries exist or not?"
"All laws are born from the Dao. All Three Thousand Great Daos can lead to Sainthood."
As the Daoic sounds rang out, vast purple qi surged from the east, stretching endlessly.
The living beings drank it like nectar, becoming intoxicated and entranced.
Some wore the joy of sudden enlightenment, while others sank into the Dao Realm, unable to extricate themselves.
At the same time, Taiqing, Primordial, Tongtian, and the other Six Sages were also quietly listening to the lecture in the void.
They had once discussed the Dao with Lu Changsheng in Wuji Heaven, and had long known that, besides possessing immense merit, his comprehension of the laws was unfathomably profound.
Now that they were personally hearing him explain the method of becoming a Saint, they were even more deeply shaken.
"This method is truly wondrous beyond compare. It has clearly surpassed Dao Ancestor Hongjun's technique of severing the three corpses!"
"Perhaps it can truly open a path to proving the Dao through laws!"
Taiqing could not help sighing in admiration.
His Dao heart, which had always remained calm, could no longer maintain its peace.
He had originally believed that the Dao Ancestor's method of becoming a Saint by severing the three corpses was already astonishing enough.
Never had he imagined that Brother Changsheng would be even more extraordinary.
He had actually created a path of proving the Dao through laws, already surpassing Dao Ancestor Hongjun by a step!
Was this what people called a genius?
"Brother Changsheng's talent can be called the greatest throughout all ages!"
Beside him, Primordial also praised him without reservation.
If the disciples of the Chan Sect had heard these words, they would certainly have been greatly astonished—
Their master, Primordial, was so proud that, aside from Taiqing, Hongjun, and a handful of others, he had never held anyone in his eyes.
Yet now, he was showing such admiration toward a living being. It was truly rare.
Tongtian, Jieyin, Zhunti, Nuwa, and the other Sages beside them all nodded in agreement.
Clearly, Lu Changsheng's talent had completely won them over.
For a time, all Six Sages were filled with emotion.
They even felt a trace of envy toward the myriad living beings of the Primordial World—
They only regretted that they had become Saints too early and had no opportunity to cultivate this method.
Just as countless Primordial World living beings were immersed in Lu Changsheng's lecture,
in the chaos beyond heaven, Hongjun's expression grew increasingly ugly.
His pupils contracted, filled with disbelief.
"Impossible... Lu Changsheng actually managed to deduce such a wondrous method of proving the Dao?"
"How did he do it? Could he truly be a reincarnation of a Chaos Demon God?"
"No, even a reincarnated Chaos Demon God might not possess such ability!"
Hongjun himself was the reincarnation of a remnant soul of a Chaos Demon God, so he knew deeply how difficult it was to become a Saint,
and how precious such a method of proving the Dao was.
For a moment, a powerful sense of threat surged in his heart.
Lu Changsheng was truly a major variable!
Hongjun naturally had no idea what Lu Changsheng was thinking.
At that moment, he was concentrating on lecturing.
Lu Changsheng did not know whether Hongjun had held anything back when he taught the technique of severing the three corpses in Zixiao Palace in the past;
but regarding this Primordial Unity Dao method, he had no intention of concealing anything.
He imparted everything he knew.
This was because the living beings before him were all part of his plan. If they could not prove the Dao, how would he expend all his merit?
He even hoped that these people could become Saints on the spot and prove the Dao immediately.
Unfortunately, that was merely wishful thinking.
Even with a method of proving the Dao, it did not mean one could immediately become a Primordial Unity expert;
at most, it merely pointed out a path forward.
What remained depended on each person's talent and foundation.
Lu Changsheng had understood this long ago.
Everyone present, whether the Demon Emperors, the Ancestor Witches, or the other ancient powers, was an elite innate divine being.
At the very least, all of them possessed the foundation to become Saints.
As for resources, there was even less need to worry.
Lu Changsheng still possessed dozens of strands of Primordial Violet Qi. Once the time came, he could simply take them out.
As he thought of this, a thousand years of lecturing quietly came to an end before he knew it.
"That concludes today's lecture."
Lu Changsheng slowly rose to his feet. The wondrous phenomena around him gradually faded, yet his figure remained dazzling, and his aura majestic.
Below, billions of Primordial World living beings awoke from their enlightenment, joy impossible to conceal on their faces. They knelt and gave thanks:
"We bow and thank Saint Changsheng for imparting the Dao!"
The voices of billions of living beings gathered together and spread across mountains and rivers for thousands of miles.
Their excitement was not without reason.
This opportunity was simply too immense!
Zhen Yuanzi, Queen Mother of the West, Ancestor Minghe, the two Demon Emperors Di Jun and Taiyi, Fuxi, and the Twelve Ancestor Witches...
Everyone who had listened to the lecture was shaken by the Dao method imparted by Lu Changsheng.
They all understood that this Dao method was even more wondrous than severing the three corpses, and had truly paved a road for them toward the Saint Realm!
"Our demon race finally has a chance to become Saints!"
Taiyi and Di Jun burst into laughter.
The Witch Clan was equally impassioned.
The Twelve Ancestor Witches all clearly saw the path ahead, crossing the chasm that had once seemed impossible to overcome.
Becoming a Saint was no longer an illusory fantasy.
Although they knew that the road ahead would still be difficult, they had ultimately grasped that thread of hope.
At that moment, the gazes of all living beings gathered upon Lu Changsheng.
"Saint Changsheng is a supreme Saint who truly bears all living beings in his heart!"
Many great powers sighed from the bottom of their hearts.
For a time, Lu Changsheng's prestige throughout the Primordial World rose to an unprecedented height.
In the eyes of living beings, he might once have been merely a "rich miser" with boundless merit,
but now it was becoming increasingly clear—that had only been a facade concealing his true nature.
Saint Changsheng truly cared for all living beings and embraced heaven and earth.
Otherwise, why would he have sent down three days of merit rain?
Lu Changsheng was unaware of what these living beings were thinking.
After saying those words, he returned to Wuji Heaven as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Saint Changsheng depart, the billions of living beings dispersed as well, each returning to their Daoist temple or secluded residence.
Wuji Heaven.
Changsheng Palace.
After returning to the hall, Lu Changsheng looked rather satisfied.
As long as these people improved their cultivation, they would naturally open up more worlds, allowing him to accelerate the rate at which he squandered his merit.
More importantly, his "Saint Creation Plan" had successfully taken its first step.
As for whether they could become Saints?
Insufficient aptitude?
Then he would pile merit upon them!
He would smash them with Primordial Violet Qi!
He refused to believe that he could not smash out a batch of Saints!
"Ding. System reminder: Giving away merit is a violation of the rules."
Lu Changsheng curled his lips and ignored the system.
He had long expected that the system would not let him succeed so easily.
However, he had his own methods.
He then summoned East King Duke and the other two.
"Greetings, Great Master! Congratulations on attaining the Primordial Unity Dao Fruit!"
The moment the three saw Lu Changsheng, they respectfully bowed.
"I called you here this time because I have serious business."
"Your opportunity to prove the Dao has arrived."
Lu Changsheng got straight to the point.
Hearing this, East King Duke and the other two were stunned at first, then their eyes filled with tears.
"Great Master, we knew you would never forget us!"
"You are our reborn parents. Your kindness is as weighty as a mountain, and we will never forget it!"
The three rushed forward and tightly hugged Lu Changsheng's legs.
Kunpeng even wiped away a tear and choked out:
"Great Master, for this kindness, I am willing to devote myself to you. In this life, I only wish to serve at your side!"
Several black lines appeared on Lu Changsheng's forehead. He truly could not stand these three clowns.
How had several dignified ancient powers become like this?
He kicked Kunpeng away as he tried to press closer.
"Shut up. Just listening to you makes me sick!"
Kunpeng did not care in the slightest about the dignity of an ancient power. He soon grinned and sidled back over, his face full of ingratiation.
Lu Changsheng had the three stand properly, then took out the Heavenly Dao Divine Staff and condensed a contract.
The contract contained the power of the Heavenly Dao. Anyone who violated it would suffer Heavenly Punishment; even a Saint would find it difficult to escape its retribution.
The contract stated that Kunpeng, Randeng, and East King Duke would serve Lu Changsheng for the rest of their lives from then on, never betray him, and obey his commands.
In return, Lu Changsheng would provide all the resources they needed, including merit, to help them raise their cultivation and even prove the Dao and become Saints.
After seeing the contract, East King Duke and Kunpeng did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately signed their names.
They had already been working for Lu Changsheng, so signing the contract was only natural.
However, Randeng hesitated.
It was not that he was unwilling. It was simply that he was still the Vice Sect Master of the Chan Sect.
He decided not to sign for the time being and instead return to the Chan Sect to lay everything out before Primordial.
The time has come to make it clear!
I'm done being the Vice Sect Master!
Wouldn't proving the Dao and becoming a Saint be far better?
Lu Changsheng nodded slightly and allowed him to leave, not worried that Randeng would disappear and never return.
If he did not come back, the one who would suffer was Randeng.
Randeng left Wuji Heaven and hurried back to the Chan Sect without stopping.
When Primordial saw him return, he was rather surprised. "Randeng, why have you come back? Could it be that you have already investigated Saint Changsheng's origins?"
Randeng shook his head and said solemnly, "Saint Primordial, I have come this time to resign from my position as Vice Sect Master of the Chan Sect."
"From now on, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to following Saint Changsheng."
Primordial was stunned when he heard this.
Then he flew into a rage!
"Randeng, how dare you betray the sect?"
The might of a Saint pressed down with overwhelming force. Randeng instantly felt as though he were carrying an ancient divine mountain on his back, and cold sweat poured down his face as he hurriedly explained:
"I haven't betrayed the sect. I'm merely leaving the Chan Sect."
He wore a bitter expression and said in a low voice:
"It's just that... Immortal Venerable Changsheng offered me too much. I couldn't refuse."
Primordial's expression froze.
Why did that sound so familiar?
Wasn't I the same way back then?
At Jade Void Palace, Primordial fell silent as he listened to Randeng.
It was simply too familiar.
Yes, the identification was incredibly strong. It was as if I were seeing myself.
His feelings were complicated. He wanted to lash out—I sent you to infiltrate them, and you went straight over to their side?
But when he thought of Lu Changsheng's unfathomable wealth, Primordial found himself somewhat lacking in confidence.
After all, Lu Changsheng had arranged everything for him back then as well.
After pondering for a moment, Primordial suppressed his anger and asked instead:
Before you continue
