He told her about his experiences in Chaos.
Those grotesque Chaos Law Fragments, those demon gods who have long lost their complete sanity but are still wandering in Chaos.
The boundless Chaos Fog Sea appears magnificent and magnificent from the perspective of Hunyuan.
Houtu listened intently, occasionally inserting a few of his own speculations and opinions.
Although she has never been to Chaos in person, as Great Dao Sage, her understanding of Chaos is no less than that of Xuande, but from a different perspective.
Xuande describes the danger and magnificence of Chaos from the perspective of "Practitioner".
Houtu analyzes the legal differences and complementary relationships between Chaos and Primordial Wilderness from the perspective of "laws".
The collision of the two perspectives inspired many new insights.
Houtu also told Xuande all kinds of trivial matters about her management of Underworld.
How to adjust the division of powers between Ten Kings of Hell to be more efficient, and how to formulate trial standards for Judge Division to be both fair and humane.
Eighteen Levels of Hell How to adjust the intensity of punishment so that it can punish the guilty soul without completely wiping it out.
How to layout Yin-Yang Passage between Underworld and Primordial Wilderness so that Soul-Summoning Envoy can extradite the souls more efficiently.
These matters are trivial and specific, but when Houtu talks about them, they reveal a profound wisdom that belongs exclusively to Earthly Dao Sage.
Xuande listened carefully and made several suggestions from time to time.
Although he is Great Emperor Fengdu, he does not interfere much with the daily operations of Underworld, and leaves more to Evil Corpse.
Now when we re-examine the operating system of Underworld from the perspective of Hunyuan, we can see a lot of room for optimization that was not seen before.
The two of them recorded these optimization plans one by one and prepared to gradually implement them in the future.
Houtu looked at the long list and suddenly sighed:
"Fellow Daoist Great Emperor Fengdu is more qualified than my little sister Lord of Reincarnation."
Xuande smiled and said, "The poor Daoist is just talking, the Daoist friends are the real people doing the work."
Houtu shook his head, but said no more polite words.
She knew that Xuande was deliberately speaking lightly and giving the credit to her.
This person is always like this, doing the most things but saying the least.
In this way, Xuande stayed in Underworld.
He did not deliberately calculate the length of his stay, nor did he set a clear date for his departure.
He just sat opposite Houtu at the edge of Reincarnation Disk every day, sometimes discussing Daoism, sometimes tasting tea, and sometimes each handling their own affairs in silence.
Houtu handles various problems in the cycle operation, while Xuande handles some major decisions of the Western Sect remotely with Divine Sense.
In this way, the two people formed a subtle tacit understanding in the depths of reincarnation.
They exist with each other, accompany each other, but do not disturb each other.
One day, Houtu finished handling the reincarnation arrangements for a group of dead souls.
Suddenly he put down the reincarnation scroll in his hand, turned to look at Xuande, and said something that had nothing to do with Underworld's affairs:
"Fellow Daoist, do you still remember the scene when my little sister first went to West to ask for advice on Primordial Spirit's method?"
Xuande put down the Sanskrit scripture in his hand and nodded slightly. "Of course I remember.
At that time, fellow Daoist Primordial Spirit had not yet been born. He came to West to find Pindao, saying that he wanted to ask if there was any cultivation methods usable by the Witch Clan.
Pindao looked at fellow Daoist's Origin Essence and found that the reason why Witch Clan could not give birth to Primordial Spirit was that the two turbid and evil qi in the essence and blood were too entangled, so he used Primordial Heaven-Measuring Ruler to separate the turbid and evil spirits for fellow Daoist."
"That time, my little sister lived in West for three thousand years."
Houtu's gaze became distant, as if he had penetrated the mists of time and saw himself a long time ago.
"In the past three thousand years, Daoist friends have separated Zhuosha for my little sister, Fellow Daoist Jieyin told little sister Nirvana Dao, and fellow Daoist Zhunti told little sister Karmic Method.
At that time, my little sister had not yet attained enlightenment and had not yet seen the ending of Calamity Kalpa.
Not trapped in Underworld yet, just a Ancestral Witch that doesn't even have Primordial Spirit. Those were the most carefree days for my little sister."
Xuande didn't speak, just listened quietly.
"After my little sister became enlightened, I haven't had such a day for a long time."
Houtu retracted his gaze from a distance and landed on Xuan Merit Body, with a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"Fellow Daoist has been accompanying my little sister at Underworld these past few days, which reminds me of the past.
It's just that in the past, my little sister would sit under the Bodhi Tree of Mount Sumeru and listen to fellow Daoist sermons, but now it's the fellow Daoist who sits on the edge of Reincarnation Disk and accompanies her to handle official duties.
Different places have different people.
Fellow Daoist is already Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, and my little sister is already Great Dao Sage. But the intention is still the same."
Xuande was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke, his voice steady and sincere. "If fellow Daoist friends are willing, I can come here often.
After the Chaos trip, Pindao's Hunyuan cultivation needs a long period of accumulation and precipitation, and there will be no big moves in the short term.
Primordial Wilderness's two Daoist friends Jieyin and Zhunti are in charge of internal affairs, so the poor Daoist can take action."
Houtu did not answer immediately.
She turned her gaze back to the slowly rotating Six Paths of Reincarnation light wheel and was silent for a long time.
When Xuande thought she was not going to answer, she spoke softly, with an unprecedented tenderness in her voice. "Okay."
The word "good" is extremely simple, but also extremely important.
Houtu is Great Dao Sage, the lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation, the incarnation of Earthly Dao, and the hope of the Witch Clan.
She carries so many things on her shoulders that she has long been accustomed to carrying them alone.
But at this moment, she suddenly felt that there was someone who could talk to her occasionally.
You don't have to worry about the secret being revealed, you don't have to worry about being seen as weak, and you don't have to worry about causing trouble to anyone.
One of this person is enough.
Xuande looked at her profile.
Her face is dignified and gentle, her golden eyes reflect the light of reincarnation, and the faint smile at the corner of her mouth is like a ray of Moonlight emerging from the deep sea, quiet and moving.
He suddenly realized that Houtu was two completely different people in front of him and in front of his brothers.
In front of Dijiang Zhujiuyin, she is the Sage girl who can give everything for the Witch Clan, resolute, decisive, and never shows weakness.
But in front of him, she would occasionally reveal some deep-hidden fatigue, some loneliness that she couldn't tell anyone, and some softness that even she didn't want to admit.
What she needs is not to carry something for him, but to have someone beside her who can occasionally put down the things she has carried on her shoulders for too long.
And this person happens to be him.
During the days when Xuande stayed in Underworld, Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth were quietly brewing another drastic change that could rewrite the situation.
Since Laozi declared to Great Dao on Three Pure Ones Peak, separated from Mystic Gate, established Daoism, and attained Great Dao Sage, Yuanshi Tianzun and Sect Master Tongtian have always been in an extremely subtle state.
Three Pure Ones is originally one body, and Pangu's Primordial Spirit is transformed into three parts. Laozi took the lead in understanding the mission imprinted in Pangu's Legacy, educating Primordial Wilderness sentient beings, and opening up a path for spiritual practice for all sentient beings.
Both Yuanshi and Tongtian can feel the resonance coming from the depths of Primordial Spirit.
That was the pulse that enabled Pangu's Legacy, and it was the mission imprint left in Primordial Spirit by God the Father, urging them to move towards their own path.
But it's one thing to realize it, and it's another thing to actually take that step.
Laozi has Taiji Diagram to suppress Fortune, and Golden Core Great Dao serves as the foundation for establishing the religion. He has also accumulated a deep understanding of the essence of Great Dao through countless Kalpa's insights.
He was able to break through at the critical moment because he had already prepared everything.
Yuanshi and Tongtian are different.
Although they also touched the outline of their respective Great Dao, they still missed a chance.
That opportunity was Xuande's return to enlightenment.
Xuande, which was transformed from Chaos Green Lotus seeds, Twelve-Petal Merit Golden Lotus Form Transformation, does not belong to the direct bloodline of Pangu in Primordial Wilderness.
In terms of origin, he cannot even be ranked among the top batch of innate talents in Primordial Wilderness.
But he just relied on the accumulation of countless Kalpa.
Repair West Earth Vein, create Sanskrit and Western Treasury Coins, establish Seven Emotions and Six Desires Severance Marvelous Method, assist Houtu to establish Six Paths of Reincarnation, leave Mystic Gate and establish Western Sect.
In the end, Three Lotuses United was used to prove Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal in Chaos, and Great Dao personally sent blessings to realize Path of Hunyuan Wuji.
This achievement is like a wake-up call for Yuanshi and Tongtian.
Even a lotus flower can come this far. Will the Three Pure Ones transformed by Pangu's Primordial Spirit continue to wander in the same place?
Yuqing Peak is on top, Yuanshi Tianzun is sitting cross-legged on Pangu Banner.
The simple giant flag was rustling in the Kunlun extreme wind, and the shadow of the Creation of Heaven and Earth giant on the flag seemed to be a little more solid than before.
Twelve Golden Immortals has long been dismissed, and there is only one Yuanshi in the entire Jade Void Palace.
He closed his eyes and concentrated, Jade Purity Immortal Light flickered around him, and the Pangu's Will remaining in his Pangu Banner was resonating silently with the Pangu's Legacy deep inside his Primordial Spirit.
Laozi's way is to educate and create Golden Core Great Dao, opening up a path of practice for Primordial Wilderness sentient beings that does not rely on Heavenly Dao.
The essence of this path is "transmission", which is to impart the principles of Great Dao in the most simple way to every living being who is committed to the Tao.
Yuanshi knows that it is impossible for him to copy the way of his senior brother, nor should he copy it.
Laozi has already shouldered the responsibility of educating.
But Pangu's Primordial Spirit has three parts, each with its own independent will and independent mission.
Laozi's mission is to "pass on", and his Yuanshi's mission is.
In the pulse of Pangu's Legacy, he faintly sensed the word that belonged to him.
elaboration.
Education is to convey Great Dao to all living beings, and elaboration is to explain the true meaning of Great Dao to all living beings.
Education is to open the door, and explanation is to lead the way. Education makes people know that there is a way to go, and explanation makes people understand where the road is.
Laozi created Golden Core Great Dao to tell all living beings "you can practice like this";
What he Yuanshi wants to do is to tell all sentient beings "why we should practice like this."
It is not an explanation of Heavenly Dao Heavenly Dao's rules have their own operating logic, and there is no need for him to explain them.
What he wants to explain is Great Dao. It is the Great Dao law that is above Heavenly Dao and more Origin Essence than Heavenly Dao. It is the principle that is imprinted on Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth when Pangu Creation of Heaven and Earth.
He wants Primordial Wilderness sentient beings not only to know how to practice, but also to understand the true meaning of the laws behind practice and the fundamental laws of the operation of all things in the world.
This is the destiny that Yuqing Yuanshi transformed by Pangu's Primordial Spirit should bear.
Yuanshi opened his eyes, and Jade Purity Immortal Light turned into two extremely bright beams of light in his eyes.
He stepped out of the Jade Void Palace and came to the top of Three Pure Ones Peak.
Taiji Diagram is still suspended directly above the peak, and the afterglow of Great Dao left by Laozi's sermon has not yet completely dissipated.
Yuanshi stood still under Taiji Diagram, Pangu Banner unfolded in his hands, and the flag was facing the wind. The shadow of Heaven-Opening Giant seemed to come alive, and it looked up to the sky and let out a silent roar.
Yuanshi took a deep breath, and the voice sounded from the top of Kunlun Mountain, penetrating thousands of spiritual peaks, penetrating the Primordial Wilderness earth, and penetrating Nine Heavens Astral Wind.
"Great Dao Your Majesty! I am the Yuqing Yuanshi Heavenly Lord transformed by Pangu's Primordial Spirit. Today I clearly understand the will of my father God. I am willing to follow my brother Taiqing and explain the true meaning of Great Dao to Primordial Wilderness sentient beings!
I established Chan Sect on Kunlun Mountain Yuqing Peak, suppressed Fortune with Pangu Banner, and used Jade Purity Immortal Method as the foundation of the Chan Sect. The one who explains is not to explain Heavenly Dao, but to explain Great Dao!
For all Primordial Wilderness sentient beings who are determined to seek the truth, Chan Sect will analyze the rules and answer their questions.
Chan Sect's door is open to all who are interested in asking!"
"From today on, I, Yuqing Yuanshi, am Chan Sect Master, recruiting disciples and teaching the true meaning of Great Dao!
Way of the Chan Sect, it's not about refining elixirs or refining weapons, or slaying demons, but about "understanding the truth".
Understand the principles of tomorrow and earth, understand the principles of law, and understand the principles of Great Dao!"
His voice echoed between heaven and earth for a long time, and every word was like a brand, deeply embedded in the Great Dao law of Primordial Wilderness.
Different from the thundering momentum of Laozi's announcement, Yuanshi's voice is more solemn and steady, like the sound of a jade chime, clear and yet heavy.
That sound penetrated every inch of Primordial Wilderness.
Whether it is Demon Clan Heavenly Court on Thirty-Three Heavens or Witch Tribe on Buzhou Mountain.
Whether it was Zhenyuanzi Hong Yun in Wuzhuang Temple or Jieyin and Zhunti in Mount Sumeru, they all heard the announcement of Yuanshi at this moment.
Great Dao responded in the dark.
The sky above Three Pure Ones Peak cracked open again, and a golden beam of light that was thicker than Yuanshi himself poured down from the crack.
That is Great Dao Merit, the purest and highest grade of Great Dao Origin Essence power. The Merit light pillar envelopes Yuanshi in it, and the entire Yuqing Peak is dyed golden.
The sea of clouds with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles was penetrated by the light of Merit and turned into a flowing golden ocean.
Kunlun Mountain All the creatures above and below felt a solemn and vast power blowing through their bodies and Primordial Spirit.
That is the blessing of Great Dao, and it is the gift given to all those who listen to the announcement after the founding of the Chan Sect.
Yuanshi was bathed in the Merit beam of light, and the aura in his body began to rise.
He was only one step away from enlightenment.
At this moment, the boundless Great Dao Merit was poured into his body, completely breaking through his last bottleneck.
His Primordial Spirit began to transform under the package of Great Dao Merit, jumping from the level of Quasi-Saint to the level of Sage.
Pangu Banner made an unprecedented hum in his hand, and the shadow of Heaven-Opening Giant on the flag seemed to pay tribute to this descendant of Pangu.
Pangu's Primordial Spirit Three points, finally there is the existence of the second enlightenment.
What he testified was not Heavenly Dao Sage, not Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal, but Great Dao Sage.
Like Laozi, he chose the path of swearing an oath to Great Dao and assuming his destiny.
The end of this road is Hunyuan Wuji, and the Great Dao Sage person itself is the key to that end.
At the same time, among the Biyou Palace, Sect Master Tongtian is undergoing a transformation no less than that of Yuanshi.
Immortal Slaying Four Swords made bursts of clanging in the main hall of the Biyou Palace. The sound was not as sharp and compelling as usual, but instead carried an indescribable anxiety and desire.
Tongtian sat cross-legged in the center of the four swords, his sword eyebrows furrowed, Shangqing Immortal Qi surging around him like a tide.
He can sense everything happening on Yuqing Peak.
Yuanshi establishes Chan Sect, declares to Great Dao, and attains Great Dao Sage.
The resonance from Pangu's Legacy was stronger than ever, so strong that the Shangqing Immortal Qi in his body boiled uncontrollably.
Among Three Pure Ones, Laozi was the first to attain enlightenment, and Yuanshi was the second. Only Tongtian is the only one who has not yet taken that step.
What is His way?
Laozi is education, Yuanshi is explanation.
What about him?
