Summary

Plot points and events

During Hongjun’s first lecture in Purple Heaven Palace, the fortune of the Three Thousand Guests should naturally flow to him as karmic merit for transmitting the Dao. However, Tianlu, the fortune-born Pixiu, intercepts and manipulates the golden threads of fortune, preventing Hongjun from collecting them. Hongjun uses the Jade Plate of Creation and Heavenly Dao authority to pull the fortune toward himself, but Tianlu counters with the power of the Great Dao, creating a massive tug-of-war that briefly disrupts the attendees’ enlightenment. Unable to continue the lecture smoothly, Hongjun confronts Tianlu and asks what he wants. Tianlu argues that the guests came to learn, not surrender their fortune, and demands a “handling fee” if Hongjun insists on collecting it. Hongjun offers one Upper-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure, but Tianlu rejects it as insufficient and raises the price to one Supreme-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure.

Character developments

Hongjun is shown as powerful but cautious about preserving his dignity, authority, and future merger with the Heavenly Dao. He becomes increasingly frustrated by Tianlu’s interference yet is forced to negotiate rather than overpower him. Tianlu’s mischievous, possessive, and commercially minded nature is emphasized. He treats fortune as valuable currency, refuses to let anyone exploit it freely, and boldly bargains even with Hongjun.

Significant themes

The chapter explores the conflict between Heavenly Dao authority and the Great Dao’s deeper powers, showing that Hongjun’s saintly control is not absolute. It also presents fortune as a tangible resource governed by rules of ownership and exchange. Another major theme is the humorous clash between solemn cultivation traditions and Tianlu’s unapologetic mercantile logic: even sacred merit and karmic reward become subjects of negotiation.

Character interactions

Hongjun and Tianlu engage in a silent battle over the fortune of the gathered divine beings while continuing the lecture outwardly. Their exchanges reveal contrasting philosophies: Hongjun views the fortune as a rightful karmic return for teaching, while Tianlu sees its collection as unfair taxation. Their increasingly sharp negotiations transform a cosmic power struggle into a comedic business transaction, ending with Tianlu demanding a Supreme-Grade Xiantian Spiritual Treasure.

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

• During the second lecture at Purple Heaven Palace, Tianlu’s enormous Golden Wheel of Merit floods the hall with blinding golden light, obscuring Hongjun’s view of most attendees.
• Hongjun privately asks Tianlu to suppress the light, but Tianlu refuses, sarcastically arguing that his merit enhances the palace’s majesty. Hongjun, wary of provoking the troublesome Pixiu, reluctantly allows it to remain.
• Hongjun begins his thirty-six-thousand-five-hundred-year lecture on the Method of Three Corpses, explaining that practitioners must sever their benevolent thoughts, malicious thoughts, and obsessions to reach the Quasi-Sage realm.
• The attendees enter deep enlightenment as heavenly flowers, golden lotuses, Dao sounds, and visible Heavenly Dao runes fill the hall.
• Tianlu listens carefully and analyzes the method. He realizes that each severed Corpse must be entrusted to an innate spiritual treasure, increasing the practitioner’s karmic and causal connection to the Primordial World and the Heavenly Dao.
• Tianlu notices a major omission: Hongjun explains how to sever the Three Corpses but gives no concrete method for achieving Three Corpses Unity, the step supposedly necessary to become a Saint.
• After the lecture, Hongjun invites questions. Taiqing asks what a Saint is, prompting Hongjun to describe Saints as immortal, indestructible beings who transcend tribulations and cause-and-effect.
• Yuqing then asks how one becomes a Saint. Hongjun explains the three methods of proving the Dao:
  1. Proving the Dao with Force, like Pangu, though it is nearly impossible.

  3. Proving the Dao through Merit, by making immense contributions to Heaven and Earth and accumulating boundless merit.
