Wu Chu's First Grand Dao Lecture

The big and small trolls that Houtu brought were thrown by Wu Chu into the bamboo forest on the other side of the lake.

Although they are cute, there are many more beautiful and cuter mythical beasts in this Primordial World. To say nothing of the distant past, Bai Ze and Yoyo are cuter than them.

However, compared to them, their cuteness is completely natural, which is different from Bai Ze and Yoyo's deliberate attempts to be cute.

But those two little creatures could even gnaw through metal, and Wu Chu didn't want to put them in the back garden of the Summit of the Sacred Tree to wreak havoc on those exotic flowers and plants.

While Yi, Kua, and Old Round were battling it out on the Qiankun Chessboard, Wu Chu was also preparing what he would say when he gave his sermon.

Several years later, Wu Chu prepared to give his lecture.

In fact, hundreds of years ago, many creatures appeared 30,000 miles away from the summit of the Purple Jade Mountain Divine Tree. This was because the area within 30,000 miles was covered by Mountain Terrain Formation Array, and creatures that did not understand the array would easily get lost once they entered it.

Many creatures strayed into the area, but Huanglong, Feng Yi, and the other two disciples of the Lord of Purple Jade led them out and settled them by a large lake.

Because of the great battle between the Purple Jade Daoist and the Azure Dragon, countless lakes of all sizes were created within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles around Purple Jade Mountain.

When Zhen Yuanzi was helping Wu Chu repair this land vein, he did not damage the environment around these lakes.

Therefore, the landscape here is quite beautiful.

Today, the place where Wu Chu preach is located on that great lake.

On this day, Wu Chu appeared on the great lake. With a flick of his finger, countless green lotus leaves emerged from the calm lake surface, spreading out in circles like cushions.

At the very center of the great lake, a green lotus plant stood hundreds of feet tall. On a giant lotus flower, Wu Chu used the technique of "Heaven and Earth Manifestation" to elevate his body by over a hundred feet. Then, he used the technique of "Three Heads and Six Arms" to sit cross-legged on it. This ensured that no matter which side of the creatures that came to listen to the Dharma and sat around the green lotus plant, they would not only see his back.

This one skill alone was enough to make countless beings who came to listen to his lectures bow down in admiration.

There was nothing they could do; these creatures all lived in the Purple Jade Mountain region. Those with higher cultivation levels had long since settled near Wu Chu, while these creatures' cultivation levels were indeed somewhat low.

So, it's like a novice in the martial arts world listening to a veteran tell stories of the martial arts world. The veteran can easily demonstrate some of his skills and amaze these novices, making them think they have seen the entire martial arts world.

Huanglong's three disciples, along with Bai Ze and the others, including Little Moon Spirit and the Little Fox, and even the Little Flower Fairies, all came here to listen to Wu Chu's sermon.

Even the goddess Houtu stood silently by the lake, curious about how Wu Chu would explain his Dao and his Dharma to these beings.

She had asked Wu Chu about it privately before, but Wu Chu hadn't told her.

Standing beside her was Qingqiu Li, who had just returned from Qingqiu a few days ago, wearing a purple dress with gold trim and her arms wrapped in Windcloud Violet Glow Sash.

Compared to Houtu's simple attire, Qingqiu Li's is much more glamorous.

When...

A bell suddenly rang out, drawing all living beings back to their senses.

The Little Fox put away the Soul-Suppressing Bell, which had been refined by her Fox Ancestress sister and directly upgraded from a high-grade, Acquired Spiritual Treasure to a top-grade Acquired -to-mid-level acquired Soul-Calming Bell, and sat down silently.

It's clear that Taiyi is still different from Fox Ancestress in terms of refining magical treasures.

Looking at the densely packed, diverse creatures sitting below, Wu Chu, seated high on the lotus platform, felt a little nervous, fearing that he might accidentally say the wrong thing and lose face in front of so many beings with low cultivation levels.

However, he quickly and easily extinguished that emotion.

His gaze swept around, and not a single creature dared to meet his eyes.

Then, he solemnly declared, "I am the Lord of Purple Jade, a hermit Mountain Recluse Who Never Leaves. I have been preaching here for a hundred years, and all beings of Purple Jade are welcome to come and listen at any time."

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth..."

This is the speech prepared for him by Yibao. Because when he first read the Tao Te Ching, he couldn't understand it at all, so he only read the first few chapters and then stopped.

Therefore, Yibao searched through Wu Chu's memories and found only a few fragments.

In order to make a strong first impression and create an image of a superior person, the opening must naturally grab the attention of the audience and elevate one's own prestige.

Thus, the plagiarism of the opening lines of the Tao Te Ching occurred.

Of course, now that his cultivation level has reached this point, understanding these words is no longer as difficult as it used to be.

To be honest, he regretted not finishing reading this great book back then.

"... Therefore, man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."

After spouting a series of words that seemed profound and mysterious to all living beings—words they couldn't understand but which sounded incredibly powerful— Wu Chu changed the subject and began talking about the Three Flowers 'essence, energy, and spirit'.

Because most of the beings that come here have not yet taken Transformation Form Transformation Form, and only a very small portion have. Therefore, Wu Chu does not mind starting with the Three Flowers of 'essence, energy, and spirit'.

After discussing the "Three Flowers" of the Earth Immortal Realm, we will now discuss the "Five Qi" of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

They even used magic to demonstrate the evolution of the Five Elements to them, which was of utmost importance to those beings who had just entered the realm of Celestial Immortal.

The fact that Wu Chu explained it in such detail was an immense blessing to them.

Decades later, Wu Chu ended his lectures on spiritual practice and began to focus on the cultivation of the mind.

"Our cultivation is divided into the Way and the Techniques. The Way is the general principle, while the Techniques are the auxiliary means. The Way is further divided into Nature and Destiny. Nature is the state of mind, while Destiny is the cultivation level. When the two are combined, it is the attainment of the Way... Strong cultivation level does not necessarily mean a deep attainment of the Way; it also requires the coordination of the state of mind. So how does one cultivate the mind?"

Amidst the bewilderment of all living beings, Wu Chu, combining the Harmonious Twenty Characters of Purple Jade Mountain with the Eight Honors and Eight Honors and Eight Shames, began to instill his own views on good and evil, and on life.

A century of preaching may not seem like a long time in the Primordial World, but for Wu Chu, who was giving a formal lecture to so many beings for the first time, it was long enough.

In the end, he himself felt there was nothing more to say. After all, no matter how profound the knowledge, they wouldn't understand it if he explained it; it would be like talking to a brick wall, utterly meaningless.

But for these beings, this 'short hundred years' was tantamount to directly opening a path of cultivation leading to the Great Dao.

"Alright, let's end this sermon here!"

As Wu Chu spoke, his figure slowly dissipated, and the giant green lotus beneath him turned into lake water, falling back into the lake, accompanied by the sound of "Respectfully bidding farewell to our teacher."

Then, the lotus leaves transformed into lake water and merged into the great lake. The creatures also turned and rode away on the waves, needing to find a place to seclude themselves.

After Wu Chu left, everyone returned to the Summit of the Sacred Tree.

After that, everyone began preparations for their trip to Jade Capital Mountain.

Just as everyone was happily making preparations, the Golden Light Earth Dragon that had been lying dead deep underground in Purple Jade Mountain for three Epoch, only emerging to freeload at Wu Chu and Houtu's wedding, once again sent a telepathic message to Wu Chu, saying that it also wanted to go out and see the world.

Even if it wanted to remain a corpse, Wu Chu would forcibly take it with him. After all, with everyone gone, only this Earth Dragon remained as the strongest creature on Purple Jade Mountain.

Although Wu Chu has already refined it, who knows if it will turn Purple Jade Mountain into a mess when everyone is not at home!
