Primordial Wilderness: I Am Hong Yun, and I Trade My Saint Position for a Wife at the Start - Section 11

"After withstanding the Seven-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, the Five Qi in the Chest will surge and the Three Flowers on the Crown will bloom. Once you command the Power of Law, you can ascend to the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Golden Immortals have endless lifespans, but must still undergo tribulations to temper themselves."

"At this stage, the Law you command will form the foundation of your future path to the Dao!"

"A single Law can be the Dao, and the fusion of many Powers of Law can also be the Dao!"

"..."

"Everyone, now you must think carefully about the path you will take from here on."

By the time Hongjun reached this point, everyone had fallen silent.

They pondered in secret.

Hong Yun examined himself and shook his head slightly.

Although Hongjun had said that one could achieve the Dao through a single Law, that had only been possible before Pan Gu created the world!

In Chaos, the various Daos had yet to manifest!

As long as one comprehended a particular Law, one could avoid the influence of other Powers of Law and cultivate that Law alone to achieve the Dao!

Before Pan Gu created the world, most of the Three Thousand Chaos Gods had each inherited and commanded a single Law!

Yet they had still been slain by Pan Gu.

Their corpses had become nourishment for the Primordial Wilderness, and the Laws they had cultivated had all merged into the world as well!

Now, in the Primordial Wilderness, the Laws were interwoven like a net.

It was simply impossible to pursue the path of achieving the Dao through a single Law!

If someone used the Water Law to achieve the Great Dao of Water,

wouldn't that mean he could command every path of cultivation in the Primordial Wilderness that involved the Water Law?

Never mind that the conditions no longer allowed anyone to follow this path.

Even if it were possible, the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness wouldn't allow it, and neither would Hongjun!

Nor would any of the cultivators allow it.

So.

When Hongjun said the Golden Immortal Realm was the foundation for achieving the Dao, he meant that it was the point at which one could choose a direction for cultivation.

In reality, all living beings in the Primordial Wilderness had to follow the path of fusing many Laws!

Hong Yun, for example, had been born with the Powers of three Laws. Later, he had also obtained the Law of Earth from the Earth Book.

His Dao had already been set.

He would perfect the fusion of those four Powers of Law, then transform them once more into the Four Symbols of Heaven Opening, return to their origin, and reunite them as Primordial Unity!

That was how he could achieve the Dao!

After a brief stir, everyone seemed to understand the reasoning and fell quiet again.

Only then did Hongjun continue.

"Once you reach the Golden Immortal Realm and command the Laws, you can begin refining them. After withstanding the Eight-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, you can become a Taiyi Golden Immortal!"

"At the Taiyi stage, many Laws will fuse and give rise to perfect harmony. After withstanding the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, you can become a Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"

"Those who reach Grand Unity Perfection will have Laws that form a complete whole within them. They can transcend the Heavenly Dao and enjoy eternal freedom!"

"Even if the world falls apart, they can use the Powers of Law within themselves to create a world of their own in Chaos!"

At this point, Hongjun stopped speaking again.

He meant to leave it there!

He had already explained the various stages of cultivation in such detail, and everyone now had a good understanding of their own circumstances.

The highest cultivation level among those present was Grand Unity, while the lowest was still Golden Immortal!

He was about to begin with the Heavenly Immortal Realm and explain the precise steps of cultivation in detail.

After all, that was what lecturing on the Dao was really about!

Hong Yun felt as though someone were teasing an itch he couldn't scratch when Hongjun stopped there.

"Why isn't he explaining what comes after Grand Unity, or how to achieve the Dao?"

"He's actually ending it on a cliffhanger!"

Hong Yun recalled that Hongjun hadn't explained the realms of achieving the Dao and Sainthood until after his Third Sermon.

Only after the Three Pure Ones pressed him had he explained the three methods of achieving the Dao.

They were Severing the Three Corpses, achieving Dao with merit, and achieving Dao with strength!

But Hong Yun still had questions. He wasn't about to let this go and wait thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Only to find out at the very end!

That was far more painful than waiting for a new chapter. Hong Yun had been an avid reader in his previous life—how could he put up with that?

Hong Yun quickly raised his right hand straight up, just like an elementary school student in class in his previous life.

Hongjun swept his gaze across the hall and spotted Hong Yun's gesture.

He grumbled inwardly:

"Hong Yun?"

"Why is it him again?"

Although he didn't know why Hong Yun had raised his hand so high in such a strange pose,

he understood that Hong Yun had a question.

He looked over and asked calmly:

"Hong Yun, do you have something to say?"

Hong Yun hurriedly stood and bowed slightly to Hongjun once more.

He observed all the proper courtesies.

In his previous life, Hong Yun had known that if you wanted to get along in society, you had to mind your manners!

Naturally, he wouldn't act rashly or rudely and give anyone an excuse to fly into a rage.

Only after observing all the proper courtesies did Hong Yun ask:

"May I ask the Saint what realm comes after Grand Unity, and how one achieves the Dao?"

To be honest, Hongjun was a little displeased when he heard Hong Yun's question.

"I deliberately left out the realms beyond Grand Unity. Wasn't it because I feared these Three Thousand Innate Gods would stop coming once they'd heard everything?"

"If I don't leave them with some suspense, how can I keep them coming to hear my lectures?"

"How can I enlighten the Primordial Wilderness?"

"But Hong Yun has done it again. He undermined me the first time, and now he's doing it again!"

Hongjun had achieved the Dao through the Immortal Dao.

This sermon, too, was based on the Immortal Dao. Its foundation of cultivation was the Innate Dao Body, one of the thirty-six Dao Bodies of Great God Pangu!

But the many Innate Gods present all had bodies of their own. How could they easily abandon them and transform into Innate Dao Bodies to cultivate anew?

Take Di Jun and Taiyi, for example. They were Three-legged Golden Crows.

Their true forms were powerful and possessed many wondrous abilities!

The Immortal Dao certainly had a clear path and a ready-made way to follow, but would they abandon their Three-legged Golden Crow forms to cultivate the Immortal Dao?

Impossible!

The Immortal Dao wasn't very popular among them!

Hadn't the Twelve Ancestral Witches stopped coming after a single lecture because they'd decided it was useless?

If he didn't use suspense and a compelling hook to draw these people in, how could he fulfill the Heavenly Dao's command to enlighten the Primordial Wilderness?

"You've ruined my plans again!"

Hongjun could barely keep his composure. The Powers of Law around him rippled!

A flash of sharp light crossed his eyes as he looked at Hong Yun.

Hongjun then looked at the others. They, too, were staring at him with shining eyes after hearing Hong Yun's question.

It seemed they hadn't been unwilling to know.

They had simply lacked the courage to ask as boldly as Hong Yun!
