Collectively Achieving Enlightenment in a Dream? There's Great Fortune Hidden in These Snores!

I bit my tongue.

The dignified Dao Ancestor, a supreme being merged with the Heavenly Dao, at this solemn moment of educating all sentient beings, bit the tip of his own tongue because of a bizarre snoring sound.

That piercing pain, for a Saint's body that had long been indestructible through countless eons, was nothing.

But the humiliation within it was outrageously strong.

Hongjun's face twitched slightly. He forcefully swallowed the drop of holy blood, not pausing. However, his originally calm and steady tone now carried a hint of gritted teeth.

He did not take action to punish.

Karma was already in disarray; acting now would only make him appear petty.

Moreover, the Dao charm contained within the snoring sound made even him, the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, feel a bit... preposterous.

His gaze shifted back to the rear of the great hall.

Jieyin and Zhunti had initially intended to hold on and listen for a while longer.

After all, this was a Saint preaching the Dao. Even if they couldn't understand it, memorizing it word for word was beneficial; this was their consensus before coming.

However.

The Chaos Spirit Jade Carefree Chair beneath them was simply too uncanny.

That warm, enveloping sensation, as if returning to the chaotic womb, continuously washed over their taut nerves. The calming Dao charm emanating from the exquisite incense burner beside them was like a pair of gentle hands, ceaselessly stroking their primordial spirits.

Coupled with Elder Brother Taiyuan's devilishly rhythmic snoring, it was simply the world's most potent lullaby.

"Second Brother, my eyelids..." Zhunti couldn't finish his sentence before his head lolled to the side.

"Third Brother, don't... snore..." Jieyin's eyelids drooped.

The two brothers almost simultaneously gave up their resistance, their bodies collapsing in extreme comfort, instantly joining Elder Brother in the ranks of sleepers.

For a time.

In a corner of the Purple Cloud Palace, three sets of snoring sounds rose and fell, bizarrely forming a perfect Three Talents formation. Not only did it not seem chaotic, but it also generated a sense of inexplicable Great Dao harmony.

An even more jaw-dropping scene unfolded.

As the three fell into a deep slumber.

Above their heads, it was not empty. Instead, a patch of auspicious clouds emerged from each of them.

Jieyin's auspicious clouds were resplendent with golden light, faintly revealing a Dao intent of sorrow but resilience.

Zhunti's auspicious clouds showed a swaying Bodhi phantom, with the light of wisdom flowing.

But the most exaggerated was Taiyuan.

The auspicious clouds above his head were not the usual Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown. Instead, they directly evolved into a vast and boundless wondrous world.

In that world, there were no calamities or tribulations, no pain or suffering.

The ground was paved with gold, the trees were made of seven precious glazed materials, and the rivers flowed not with water, but with the Eight Kinds of Merit Jade Nectar.

Most preposterous of all.

In that world, there was no tediousness of preaching scriptures. Everywhere, there were flying celestial beings singing and dancing. Tables were laden with endless exquisite delicacies, and countless beings there had only one thing to do—indulge in pleasure and live freely.

This was the [Primordial Form of the Pure Land].

However, compared to the Pure Land of Buddhism that cultivates the afterlife, the one in Taiyuan's dream was more direct, more filled with the temptations and satisfactions of worldly desires.

On the cushions in the front row.

Nuwa was already lost in a fog regarding the dry and obscure path of severing three corpses.

She was the master of the Dao of Creation, naturally lively, and most disliked such rigid, formulaic cultivation.

Bored, she couldn't help but look back again, wanting to see what the "bad student" Taiyuan was up to.

The moment she looked, her gaze was fixed.

She stared intently at the dream world manifested above Taiyuan's head.

Watching the beings chasing and playing under the radiant glazed trees, looking at the tables of exquisite food she had never seen before, and observing the atmosphere of freedom without any suppression or restraint.

A strange haze gradually appeared in Nuwa's beautiful eyes.

"Can the Dao... also be this joyful?"

"It's not just about ascetic cultivation, not just about severing emotions and desires."

"Follow one's heart, attain great freedom. Wherever there is bliss in one's heart, that place is a Dao field."

In this instant.

Nuwa seemed to have grasped a crucial inspiration. The bottleneck that had stalled her progress from not understanding Hongjun's preaching suddenly loosened!

Her Creation Laws surged, creating a wondrous resonance with the "joyful artistic conception" within Taiyuan's dream.

Boom!

Her aura surged!

Although she didn't break through her realm directly like Taiyuan, the clarity of understanding her Dao Heart was far more precious than memorizing ten thousand verses of scripture.

Even Hongjun on the high platform couldn't help but glance over.

What's going on?

I'm here earnestly explaining the Great Dao, and you can't grasp a single word.

Then you turn around, look at someone else's dream, and suddenly you've comprehended it?

This batch of students is too difficult to teach!

Looking at the others again.

Kunpeng, sitting at the back, had bloodshot eyes, the corners of his eyes even cracked, and two streams of blood flowed down his cheeks. It was clear he had injured his Origin by forcibly comprehending the Dao laws of a Saint, but he gritted his teeth and refused to give up.

Then there were Di Jun and Tai Yi, their auras chaotic, as if they could fall into madness at any moment.

In the entire Purple Cloud Palace, apart from a few like the Three Pure Ones, most people were enduring extreme agony.

It was like an open-skull surgery without any anesthesia.

In contrast, the three in the corner.

Taiyuan slept so soundly, he even turned over and mumbled a dream-talk that echoed throughout the great hall:

"What do they mean by 'the Great Dao is simple'... I think the Great Dao is 'greatly tiring'... How can I have the energy to cultivate without enough sleep... Hmm, this braised pork is cooked just right..."

As this dream-talk fell.

Taiyuan's aura surged like a rocket again, the dream world above his head becoming increasingly solid. He directly and effortlessly leaped from the late stage of Grand Luo Golden Immortal to the Perfected Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, as if drinking water!

Immediately after, Jieyin and Zhunti were also drawn by this aura, their cultivation levels rising along with it. Although they didn't reach perfection, they also made significant progress.

No pain, no bottlenecks, no risk of falling into madness.

He simply slept, and leveled up along the way.

"Pfft—"

A Grand Luo Golden Immortal who was struggling to hold on heard this dream-talk and saw the scene of the three easily breaking through. His Dao Heart instantly collapsed, and he spat out a mouthful of heart's blood that flew three feet, knocking him unconscious.

Comparing people makes you angry.

Comparing goods makes you want to throw them away.

This wasn't a place to listen to the Dao; it was clearly a vacation spot meant to humiliate them!

Three hours later.

Taiyuan was still fighting a roasted whole lamb in his dream.

In his mind, the System's prompt sound quietly rang out, but it didn't disturb his sweet dream at all.

[Ding! Detected that during the Saint's sermon, the host not only successfully fell asleep with extremely high sleep quality, but also used his dream to enlighten Nuwa, who is also a future Saint, severely crushing the confidence of the other listeners.]

[Congratulations to the host for achieving the "Ultimate Sleep God" achievement.]

[Reward: Divine Ability: Words Follow Law · Low-Tier Version.]

[Note: Although it's a low-tier version and cannot modify rules, as long as the host is willing to consume Merit or spiritual power, or the "price" given is sufficient, this blessed mouth will still be very effective. Curse anyone and they'll be unlucky, say anything and it'll come true.]

Taiyuan grinned in his dream.

This divine ability is great.

In the future, if he disliked someone, he wouldn't need to lift a finger, just draw a circle and curse them. How wonderful would that be?
