Taiqing Flopped
For a long time.
It established the doctrines and fundamental principles of Daoism, and also set forth its rules and regulations.
Laozi's establishment of his teachings was already a success.
His expression was solemn:
"Using the Taiji Diagram to suppress the Daoism Destiny Aura, the orthodox Mystic Gate sect— Daoism —is established!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Laozi's thought had an idea—
Buzz!
The Taiji Diagram, an Innate Supreme Treasure he had refined forty-eight layers of, manifested directly in Kunlun Mountain. With a gentle flow of its Supreme Treasures power, it easily and completely suppressed the Daoism Destiny Aura.
After the Daoism Destiny Aura was completely suppressed.
Between heaven and earth.
Then the sound of the Heavenly Dao Congratulatory Golden Gong rang out—
When!
When!
When!
The sound of the golden gong was few, only three times in total, signifying the permission to establish Daoism!
Splash--
Above the sky.
The Heavenly Dao Merit, though not numerous, were gathered to form a lake the size of a lake.
Now.
Some powerful cultivators who have achieved success in their cultivation have already noticed the commotion at Kunlun Mountain.
At the beginning--
Everyone thinks that since the rare appearance of the Pangu Orthodox Lineage — Taiqing Laozi —has caused such a stir, he must be about to become a saint, right?
However.
Upon seeing the sheer amount of Heavenly Dao Merit gathered in the sky, everyone fell silent.
That's it?
It's not powerful at all!
The sound of the Heavenly Dao Golden Gong only lasts three times, and the little bit of Heavenly Dao Merit that descends is insignificant even if used to condense the Heavenly Dao Merit Wheel.
How should I put it?
This small amount of Heavenly Dao Merit seems somewhat mismatched with the reputation and prestige of the Three Pure Ones.
The main reason is that the eyes of all the powerful figures have been raised by the Sun God, Nuwa, and Hou Tu, who had previously gained Merit.
This wave--
Taiqing Laozi is dead!
Splash--
The accumulated Heavenly Dao Merit descended directly from the sky, falling towards Taiqing Laozi.
Faced with this Heavenly Dao Merit bestowed upon him, Taiqing Laozi remained calm and chose to accept it directly.
And at the very moment that Taiqing Laozi accepted it, and these Heavenly Dao Merit fell into his body.
Buzz--
These Heavenly Dao Merit acted like bait, instantly causing the one-tenth of the Creation Merit that had been dormant within Taiqing Laozi, which he could not activate no matter how hard he tried, to react.
The next moment.
Buzz--
Auspicious and boundless golden light of Merit shone directly on Taiqing Laozi, illuminating the heavens, spreading across the Primordial Cosmos, and lighting up All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
The Creation Merit within Taiqing Laozi were directly awakened.
Without hesitation.
With this one-tenth of the Creation Merit, Taiqing Laozi did not hesitate to refine the Primordial Purple Qi within his Primordial Spirit True Soul.
The next moment--
Buzz!
A series of peaceful and soothing sounds of the Great Dao resonated and echoed between heaven and earth.
At the same time.
A misty purple aura rose from the east, flowing between heaven and earth!
Golden flowers of the Great Dao descended from the sky, and golden lotuses of spiritual energy surged from the earth; countless magnificent phenomena manifested between heaven and earth.
Not long after.
Splash--
The endless sea of clouds above the sky parted like a veil, and the magnificent Dharma form of Taiqing Laozi, flowing with the power of the Sage Realm and the charm of the Dao, manifested in the Primordial Cosmos and All Heavens and Myriad Realms.
At the same time.
An aura of tranquility, inaction, and detachment from the Sage Realm also settled in the hearts of all living beings in the Primordial World.
Not too light, not too heavy.
Although it aroused various thoughts, both good and bad, such as tranquility, calmness, composure, lying down, and giving up, they were not strong and did not directly change people's character.
After a moment of distraction, all the intelligent beings in the world came to their senses.
They all bowed in reverence to the Sage Realm- like image of Laozi:
"Greetings to the Taiqing Saint."
"Greetings to the Taiqing Saint."
"Greetings to the Taiqing Saint."
"..."
After all beings paid homage, the Sage Realm image of the sage, which had manifested in the Primordial World, slowly dissipated between heaven and earth.
As the image of the Sage Realm dissipated, the various extraordinary phenomena surrounding Laozi's sagehood also vanished.
After Taiqing became a saint.
The powerful figures in the world were somewhat bewildered, and their gazes remained fixed on Kunlun Mountain.
The Three Pure Ones --
It doesn't make sense that Laozi became a Sage Realm, but Yuanshi and Tongtian couldn't.
Today.
They will surely witness a grand event: the simultaneous appearance of three saints!
As expected--
As the commotion of Laozi's ascension to sainthood subsided and his figure vanished...
Buzz!
Above the Kunlun Mountain, the figure of Yuanshi appeared.
Yuanshi straightened his clothes and respectfully bowed to the heavens and the earth.
He said in a loud voice:
"Heavenly Dao's will prevails!"
"I, the Pangu Orthodox Lineage, the Yuanshi of Yuqing, deeply moved by the arduous journey of all beings in heaven and earth seeking the Dao, now respectfully uphold the Mystic Gate tradition and establish a great sect, named: Chan."
"The Exposition Sect is the orthodox lineage of the Mystic Gate school), widely spreading Daoist teachings, elucidating the will of Heaven, enlightening all beings, and transforming all sentient beings."
"All who join my Exposition Sect should respect their teachers and value the Way, uphold order and safeguard the Way, maintain upright conduct, and glorify the Xuanmen (mysterious Mystic Gate)."
"..."
"Use the Pangu Banner to suppress the Destiny Aura of the Exposition Sect! The Exposition Sect is established!"
Exposition Sect--
Its doctrines, rules, and everything else are much stricter than the Daoism established by the Taiqing Saint, even to the point of being harsh!
At the same time.
There are also entry requirements for joining the church.
Root aptitude, moral character, and so on can all be reflected in the doctrines and rules of the Exposition Sect!
Without a doubt.
Although the Exposition Sect also teaches and enlightens the masses, it clearly takes an elite approach when it comes to accepting disciples!
A moment later.
After Yuqing Yuanshi clearly explained the doctrines and rules of the Exposition Sect, the recognition and Heavenly Dao Merit Heavenly Dao.
This was accompanied by the awakening of the Creation Merit belonging to Yuqing Yuanshi.
Splash--
Another Sage Realm's image appeared, radiating the majesty and Daoist charm of the Sage Realm, manifesting in the Primordial World.
At the same time.
All sentient beings can sense the aura flowing from the Sage Realm image of the Primordial Yuanshi the Yuqing Purity: order, discipline, courtesy, reason, and so on!
This--
It also has a completely different style and approach from Taiqing Laozi!
Very soon.
After Yuqing Yuanshi and his Sage Realm form disappeared.
The figure of Shangqing Tongtian, the last of the Three Pure Ones, also appeared.
His voice also rang out:
"Heavenly Dao's will prevails."
"I, Pangu Orthodox Lineage, a Shangqing Tongtian, am deeply saddened by the perils faced by all beings seeking the Dao. Therefore, I respectfully uphold the Mystic Gate tradition and establish a great sect, named: Jie."
"The Interception Sect, the orthodox lineage of the Mystic Gate, teaches without discrimination, widely disseminating its teachings, enlightening all beings, and seeking a glimmer of heavenly secrets for them."
"Those who join our Interception Sect should respect their teachers and value the Way, strengthen their resolve in the Way, and strive diligently to uphold the Orthodox Xuanmen."
"..."
Wow!!!
Upon hearing Shangqing Tongtian's account of his Interception Sect, the powerful figures from all corners of the world were startled, their eyes revealing strange expressions.
How should I put it?
It's not that the teachings of the Interception Sect are bad.
The problem is that--
There are subtle conflicts, even irreconcilable oppositions, between the doctrines of the Interception Sect and the Exposition Sect!
The doctrines of these two major religions are clearly manifestations of the Dao themselves, namely, that of Yuqing Yuanshi and Shangqing Tongtian.
Does this mean--
Is there a discrepancy between the Great Dao of Yuqing Yuanshi Shangqing Tongtian?
Tsk tsk tsk...
It seems--
There will definitely be a good show to watch in the future between the Exposition Sect and the Interception Sect, and between the Yuqing Yuanshi and the Shangqing Tongtian.
