A Plantain Spirit Root Was Once Nurtured Between Heaven and Earth, Born from the World Origin and Bearing Four Plantain Leaves
Fifteen hundred years later, the Three Pure Ones finished their sermons.
The Empress Nuwa exhaled a fragrant breath and uttered Daoist chants.
The Dao of Creation is mysterious and obscure; few can understand it.
Among the third-generation disciples and followers of the Profound Sect, most were completely bewildered and confused, with only a small portion understanding about 10%.
Xuandu, Nanji, Guangchengzi, and Duobao understood about 20% of it.
Cihang understood about 25% of it. It wasn't that she was better than them, but rather that just as there are specializations in techniques, there are also specializations in principles.
The Hundred Herbs Fairy and Hundred Flowers Fairy also understood about 10%.
The Great Principle can only understand 30%, while only those who cultivate creation or something similar to the Great Dao can understand 35%.
Zhu Yin understood about 50% of it, and the gains were comparable to those of Peak Quasi-Sage.
Nuwa smiled calmly at this, and the other Quasi-Sage, after their initial surprise, found it perfectly natural.
This is because the third-generation Chief Disciple of the Profound Sect possessed Innate Spirit Root Transformation Stage, and plants are among the life forms closest to creation.
After Nuwa finished speaking, Zhu Yin's lips curled up, and he radiated joy. He had benefited the most from listening to her teachings this time.
The Vitality Great Dao surges, Great Freedom Dao Fruit even more perfect.
Five hundred years of listening to the Dao is better than his thousands of years of arduous cultivation, and it has made his cultivation more advanced, allowing him to vaguely see the threshold of the Mid Quasi-Sage.
Even if it's just a glimmer of hope, and still a long way from a breakthrough, it's a significant step forward.
Next, it's the turn of the Two Sages of the West.
The Eastern Lands sages demonstrated some of their true abilities, so the Two Sages of the West worked even harder, hoping to take this opportunity to spread the Western Wondrous Dharma and attract 950 more beings to the Western Lands.
Therefore, golden light filled the sky above Taiqing Peak, and Jieyin and Zhunti Buddhist chants, their words flowing like pearls, and lotus Lotus Blossom bloomed in the air, making the entire mountain peak seem to be covered in lotus blossoms, their fragrance filling the air.
The Western Teaching disciples, naturally, remained calm and composed, and gained much from the experience.
The powerful figures of the Purple Cloud Palace were all moved and admitted that the Western Wondrous Dharma was indeed unique. A small number of the powerful figures of the Purple Cloud Palace were even attracted and had the idea of studying the Western Dao in depth.
Even the Four Saints of the Eastern Lands each gained something.
Most of the third-generation disciples did not have a deep understanding of the Western Wondrous Dharma, only a small number gained a considerable amount.
This group included disciples of the Chan Sect such as Juliusun, Puxian, and Wenshu, as well as Jie Sect Disciple, such as Duobao and Dingguangxian.
In addition, some were other powerful disciples of the Purple Cloud Palace.
Three thousand years later, the Six Heavenly Dao Sages finished their sermons.
When Zhu Yin awoke, he looked at the immortals who were immersed in the Great Dao, especially the third-generation disciples such as Puxian and Wenshu, and he was not surprised.
Since my master and senior master attained enlightenment and sainthood, the Western Wondrous Dharma has taken full shape and has increasingly taken on the characteristics of later Buddhist Sect.
The golden light has evolved into Buddha's light, and the Daoist sound has gradually transformed into Brahma's sound.
They have gradually broken free from the shackles of the Profound Sect school) and completely embarked on a new path.
However, Western Teaching has not yet separated from the Profound Sect and remains one of the four major Profound Sect religions. Therefore, its various names and clothing have not changed and it is still full of the Profound Sect style.
It is only natural that Wenshu, Puxian, and others, who have a connection with Western Teaching, have benefited greatly from it.
After the sages, it is said that the Quasi-Sage, with great power, preach the Way.
Only three Peak Quasi-Sage attended this time: Zhen Yuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, and Empress Changxi.
The latter represented the Heavenly Court in attending the ceremony.
After all, even the Quasi-Sage experts of the Demon Clan race had heard of the Purple Cloud Palace.
Furthermore, since the Profound Sect has six sages suppressing it, it is both logical and reasonable that the Heavenly Court should send a powerful figure to attend.
Whether it was Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Dao, Queen Mother of the West's Time Great Dao, or Chang Xi's Lunar Great Dao Changxi, all of them broadened Zhu Yin's horizons, sparked his inspiration, improved his cultivation, and deepened his understanding.
This will greatly benefit him in his future endeavors to open up three thousand worlds.
After the top-level experts finished their sermons, when it came time for the ordinary Quasi-Sage, Zhu Yin was the first to step forward.
No great being objected, not even a sage presupposed it.
A towering green bamboo sprouted from beneath his feet, Zhu Yin sat cross-legged on it, uttering Daoist chants, endless mysteries accompanying the drifting bamboo leaves.
He was speaking of the Great Freedom Dao.
Discussing Life Force, talking about tranquility, and seeking freedom.
The profound truths and ethical principles resonate endlessly in our ears, and their wisdom is deeply ingrained in our hearts.
Not only were the third-generation disciples immersed in it, but even the powerful figures of the Purple Cloud Palace gained a lot. Zhen Yuanzi, Queen Mother of the West, and Changxi listened attentively and reaped considerable benefits. The Six Heavenly Dao Sages also nodded in agreement from time to time.
The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade.
Every great master has a unique approach to their path.
Even sages would not underestimate it and would draw inspiration from it; moreover, the Great Freedom Dao of Zhu Yin is not weak.
A hundred years from now, when he finishes his story.
The Five Saints of Heavenly Dao were full of admiration, Zhunti alone was arrogant.
Seeing the latter's appearance, the Four Saints of the Eastern Lands lost their interest in congratulating him. Jieyin even turned his head away from his junior brother, fearing that he might lose his temper and do something impolite, which would truly be a sin.
The other Quasi-Sage looked at Zhu Yin with a different gaze; their contempt lessened, replaced by respect and friendliness.
Great Principle, on the other hand, felt a greater sense of awe and admiration.
The Way has no order of precedence; those who have attained it are our teachers.
Although they are of higher seniority, Zhu Yin has already far surpassed them on the path of seeking the Dao.
The third generation of disciples reacted differently.
The Western Teaching disciples felt honored and their eyes burned with fervor, while the other disciples felt an immense pressure.
Zhu Yin was not interested in what others thought or did.
One cannot cultivate the Tao by closing oneself off from the world or by having a limited perspective.
The ocean embraces all rivers; its principles guide us to great heights.
This forum was a rare opportunity for him.
This broadened his understanding of the Great Dao and deepened his analysis of it. Like a fish entering the ocean, Zhu Yin freely roamed and enjoyed the vastness of the sea.
Seven hundred years later, after the Quasi-Sage finished his sermon, he entered the discussion phase. Zhu Yin rose and walked towards Zhen Yuanzi, the Queen Mother of the West, and Changxi to discuss the Great Dao and exchange its laws with them.
Later, other Quasi-Sage and powerful beings also joined in.
Five hundred years later, they dispersed to seek out other great beings to discuss the Dao. Zhu Yin found a great being who cultivated the Dao of Vitality, and also discussed the Dao with the Five Elements Great Being and the Two Modes Great Being.
Not only were the powerful beings busy, but the third and fourth generation disciples were also busy.
Xuandu sought out Duobao and Cihang; Nanji found Medicine Buddha and Wudang; Guangchengzi sought out Maitreya and Guiling; Wenshu and Mahasthamaprapta discussed the Dao; Puxian and Ksitigarbha talked about the Dharma; Yuding sought out Jinling and Qing Shuang; Immortal Yuyi confronted Bi Lan; Immortal Wuyun joined forces with Jin Yang; and Indra took the initiative to seek out Zhao Gongming...
Five hundred years later, the debate on the Dao came to an end.
On the cloud platform.
The Taiqing Saint sat cross-legged in the main seat and announced in a loud voice.
"Now, the Profound Sect Assembly is about to enter its final stage."
"Since this is a debate on Dao and a contest of skills, there should be some kind of prize."
"The top three finishers in this inaugural Profound Sect Assembly will all receive rewards. I will begin by offering a preliminary suggestion to set the stage for such an award."
As he spoke.
The Taiqing Saint took out an object and threw it into the void.
"A Plantain Spirit Root once grew between heaven and earth, born from the World Origin, bearing four banana leaves, each corresponding to earth, Water-Fire, and fire. I was fortunate enough to obtain the two banana leaves representing earth and fire, and refined them into two Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"This is the Earth-Element Plantain Fan. One flap can shake the earth and mountains, two flaps can move mountains and fill seas, and three flaps can cause the sky to collapse and the earth to crack. Its power is considerable."
"This will serve as the reward for the winner of this discourse."
Next, the Taiqing Saint took out two more items, a Middle-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure and a Innate Low-Grade Spiritual Treasure, as rewards for the second and third place winners.
