Mystic Gate Opens Mountain (2)
'Use your own heart to represent the Heavenly Heart, and use the Way of Heavenly Dao to understand your own Way.'
'In its earliest form, the Great Dao of Heavenly Immortal sought to unite the divine with Heaven and Earth, and to comprehend the myriad laws of nature—in short, enlightenment.'
'For those of inferior innate capacity and clouded spiritual understanding, this path is as difficult as ascending to heaven.'
'But for those with Daoist inclinations and spirituality, it's possible that a single enlightenment can lead to Immortal Golden Immortal.'
As Zhou Yuan listened to the Three Pure Daoists expounding on the Dao Performance the Dharma on the high platform, his eyes gleamed with admiration.
In the early stages of cultivation, cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal are not much different from immortals of other cultivation methods.
"But in the later stages of cultivation, these powerful cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal only need to find some unclaimed worlds, comprehend the truths of the laws, refine the true meaning of the laws, and temper their own hearts with the Heavenly Heart; their cultivation speed becomes as if they have been given a cheat code."
Thinking about it this way, the fact that Daoist Hongjun with the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Great World could not have been a form of cultivation for the Heavenly Immortals.
As for the six sages of later generations, those who attained the position of Heavenly Dao Saint relied on the power of the Heavenly Dao, essentially getting on the train first and then paying the ticket later, in order to prove their Primordial Chaos Path Dao; this was also a kind of Heavenly Immortal.
Within Zhou Yuan's primordial spirit Myriad Dao Book shimmered with spiritual light, and countless tadpole-shaped Great Dao scripts were inscribed on its pages, radiating an aura of profound mystery and the wonders of creation.
At this Mystic Gate Opens Mountain Ceremony, many powerful figures shared their understanding of the Dao, the origins and methods of their Dao lineages, and Zhou Yuan was able to collect a great deal of Dao essence here with the help of the Myriad Dao Book.
"As long as the laws of the world are perfected, cultivators of the Heavenly Immortal can climb through countless worlds until they can refine the laws of thousands of worlds to form their own Primordial Dao Fruit."
"As for the path after Primordial Dao Fruit, that is beyond our ability to discuss."
The Upper Pure Daoist Shangqing concluded with a smile:
"This is the method for advancing in the Heavenly Immortal Path."
"The most important thing is understanding."
"Difficult, difficult, difficult! The Dao is most profound; do not take the Golden Elixir lightly."
"The Golden Core Great Dao spoken of by Senior Brother Taiqing, the Primordial Spirit Great Dao spoken of by Senior Brother Yuqing, and the Qi Refining Path spoken of by this humble Daoist all belong to the lineage of the Heavenly Immortal Path."
"Fellow Daoists, do you have anything to add?"
He had barely finished speaking.
Several other powerful figures then spoke up, continuing to expound on the profound teachings based on what the Three Pure Daoists had said. However, in the end, returning to the origin, they still could not escape the confines of the Three Pure Daoists' teachings.
The Three Pure Ones nodded with smiles and sat quietly in the vast emptiness.
All principles and methods flow naturally around him.
It is evolving and generating images of nothingness, the creation of heaven and earth, the Epoch Change, the differentiation of Yin and Yang, and the annihilation of all things and the return of the universe to nothingness.
The sounds of Daoism never ceased, Immortal Music lingered, expounding the ultimate truth of the Great Dao of Heavenly Immortal.
As the source of the Heavenly Immortal lineage, the Three Pure Daoists have gathered a group of powerful individuals aspiring to the Great Dao of Heavenly Immortal through their teachings and propagation over the years. These powerful figures include the East King Duke, the Queen Mother of the West, the Lord Huang, and the Divine Firmament Dao Lord, all of whom are the founders of the lineages under the Great Dao of Heavenly Immortal path.
Numerous powerful beings expounded their teachings and spread their doctrines, surrounding the Three Pure Ones at the very center, together elevating the grandeur of the Celestial Immortal lineage.
Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jieyin exchanged a bitter glance.
' The Mystic Gate Immortal Path, with its five lineages of inheritance, embodies the principles of the evolution of the Heavenly Dao.'
But anything is possible with human effort.
'It includes the Heavenly Immortal lineage established by the Three Pure Ones, the Dharma lines opened up by all the immortals, and even some immortal elites who originally belonged to the other Five Immortal Dao Lineages.'
'It is said to be one of the Five Immortals of the Heavenly Immortal lineage, but in reality, it is the culmination of all the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.'
'This one path alone will likely consume more than half of the fortune of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.'
Gazing at the vast purple aura in the Grand Void, and at the Xuanmen Dao Lord around him, whose eyes flickered thoughtfully.
Daoist Zhunti felt a sense of foreboding. If these Dao Lords were to truly join the Heavenly Immortal lineage, the position of the Three Pure Ones would become even more secure. If things continued this way, when would the West ever truly prosper?
After all, these Xuanmen Dao Lord, as Grand Unity Immortals, already possess a portion of the Qi and Fortune of Heaven and Earth, and their will is part of the will of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.
Looking around, he saw that all the immortals had calm expressions and remained silent with their eyes closed.
Even though he was wary of the Three Pure Ones' power, Daoist Zhunti had no choice but to speak. He waved the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, his voice like a morning bell and evening drum:
"Good! Good!"
"The Great Dao of Heavenly Immortal that Senior Brother Three Pure Ones spoke of, though extraordinary and lofty, focuses primarily on innate talent."
Therefore, although it is a path to Tongtian, it has no ability to save all living beings.
"Sands of the Ganges Worlds, all sentient beings ultimately strive to cultivate within the framework of our Human Immortal."
The Daoist Zhunti had barely finished speaking.
The true realm condensed by the Three Pure Daoists shattered with a deafening roar.
The Grand Pure Daoist calculated with his fingers and saw that the fortune of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path was no longer flowing towards the Great Dao of Heavenly Immortal. He sighed slightly in his heart.
Pride goes before a fall, humility brings benefit.
The moon wanes after it is full, and water overflows when it is full.
'So be it, so be it!'
The fact that the Heavenly Immortal lineage was able to seize the initiative and gain an extra share of the Immortal Dao's fortune was partly due to the calculations of the Three Pure Daoists.
The fact that Daoist Zhunti forcibly interrupted them shows that many Dao Lords and Heavenly Venerables below are already dissatisfied.
Therefore, although the Three Pure Daoists were slightly displeased, they did not say anything more.
"The Human Immortal is one of the Three Powers Heaven, Earth, and Man."
"The Tao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things."
The Daoist Zhunti and the Daoist Jieyin smiled and held up a flower, revealing a Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli and the merit of Mount Sumeru.
The two Daoist priests sat upright on lotus thrones, with the pure and wise light of the Bodhi Treasure Tree behind them spreading throughout the Three Thousand Worlds, and the Merit Pool in front of them flowing in all directions of the universe.
A sense of great compassion, Great Annihilation, great refuge, and Great Merit permeated endless dimensions.
"The Mortal World is full of turmoil, and all living beings suffer."
"The path to Human Immortal lies in cultivating oneself amidst the Mortal World and suffering, experiencing the eight kinds of pain, and attaining great Great Freedom and liberation."
"To cultivate the path Human Immortal immortality, one must struggle through the Mortal World, comprehend the way of all beings, and ultimately attain the Bodhi of Mount Sumeru."
"Good, good!"
Just as the Daoist Jieyin and the Daoist Zhunti were expounding the Great Dao of Human Immortal, attracting the favor of the Mystic Gate Immortal Path.
The Empress Nuwa spoke leisurely, Creation Mysterious Light permeated the true realm of Sumeru. Brocade Rivers and Mountains Map illuminated all the heavens, and a Red Embroidered Ball manifested countless scenes of the Mortal World.
"My two fellow Daoists are mistaken."
"The path of the Human Immortals is not the path of Mount Sumeru or Bodhi, nor is it the path of the West."
According to Jieyin and Zhunti, cultivators on the Human Immortal of immortality will eventually reach the end of their journey and see Mount Sumeru. They will inevitably have to travel to the West. This kind of behavior displeases the goddess.
"The path to Human Immortal lies in all living beings, and in the heart."
"This path benefits all beings. Those who cultivate truth, even if they do not comprehend the Great Dao, will obtain a method within the Dao, and a technique within the method. With unwavering faith and arduous dedication, they will remain steadfast throughout their lives. This body will not perish, and this heart will be immortal."
"Though lacking the lofty heights of the Heavenly Immortal, if one diligently guards one's true nature, refines one's heart Mortal World, and avoids falling into emptiness, one can still possess boundless supernatural powers and vast, limitless wondrous methods."
Empress Nuwa smiled slightly:
"What cultivators of the Human Immortal Path emulate is nothing more than the principle that humans follow the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Dao, and the Dao follows nature."
"All things in the Mortal World can serve as resources for spiritual practice."
"This path resides in the heart, and is put into practice by the practitioner!"
"When you reach the pinnacle, you will emulate all things; a single fire can ignite the heavens, a single sword can cleave the firmament, and a single method can prove the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos."
After Empress Nuwa finished speaking, the fortune of the Human Immortal paths was immediately split in two, one falling into Mount Sumeru and the other into Phoenix Perch Mountain.
He saw Daoist Zhunti.
Zhou Yuan and Zhen Yuanzi exchanged a glance, stepped forward, bowed, and smiled:
"The Heavenly Immortal is lofty and distant."
"The Human Immortal immortality is difficult to attain."
"Fellow Daoists, please listen to the teachings of the Earth Immortal!"
