Chương 42: Quasi-Saint! The Shortcut!

The Shortcut!

In front of the Zixiao Palace!

"Haotian, what level do you think Zhenyuan Daxian's strength has reached now?"

A look of curiosity appeared on Yaochi's face as she looked at Haotian and asked.

"After the lecture, the Three Pure Ones, Di Jun, Xi He, Hou Tu and other great supernatural beings were all about to advance to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm. Now it seems that they have all successfully advanced."

"Zhenyuan Daxian's strength far surpasses theirs; he must be at least at the mid-stage of the cultivation realm..."

After thinking for a moment, Haotian said in a deep voice.

He knew very well that if Zhen Yuanzi was truly a mid-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal, given the years he had spent immersed in this realm, any being of the same level would only suffer defeat against him.

Judging from the aura of the Great Dao that I felt during the lecture, this is a fact that can be confirmed.

Haotian also believed that after the master began his second lecture on the Great Dao, Zhen Yuanzi would surely reach a higher level of cultivation, and even if other great supernatural beings improved, they would still lag far behind.

Haotian looked toward the primordial wilderness, a longing flashing in his eyes.

If one could cultivate in the primordial wilderness, the situation would indeed be much better; otherwise, no matter how much one cultivates, it would be difficult to break through the restrictions of one's own Great Dao.

This Great Dao restriction was placed simultaneously when the Dao Ancestor enlightened him, and it will always confine him to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. Although he is only at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm now, he still has a long way to go.

However, if you remain stuck in this situation and make no progress, you will eventually reach your limit, and that will be when things really get tough.

However, to enter the primordial world, one still needs the Dao Ancestor's approval and the lifting of the restrictions in the Great Dao. Only then can one be considered to have embarked on a completely new and true path of cultivation.

After a long while, Haotian withdrew his gaze. It was too early to think about these things now. He continued to greet the great supernatural beings and powerful gods and demons who came to listen to the Dao.

Yaochi glanced at Haotian, her face thoughtful, then turned her gaze to the Three Pure Ones and the others who had arrived, and cupped her hands in greeting.

"The Purple Cloud Palace is open, please proceed!"

……

Inside the main hall!

"Does Zhen Yuan plan to begin advancing matters concerning the Western Continent after the second lecture?"

On the high platform, Dao Ancestor Hongjun looked at Zhen Yuanzi and spoke slowly.

Given Zhen Yuanzi's current cultivation level, it's a certainty that he will advance to the late stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm after listening to the Dao, and his cultivation level will be extremely stable.

With the late-stage Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, the current level of the Earthly Dao, and the partial inclination of the Heavenly Dao's power, the Western Continent's recovery will be relatively quick.

"This timing is quite suitable for the underground passage and for the primordial land as a whole. With the addition of the power of the Heavenly Dao and the primordial energy of heaven and earth, things will proceed even more smoothly..."

Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly and looked at Hongjun Daozu.

The current state of the underground passage's solidification and growth, its imminent emergence, and its control over the primordial land are all at a certain level of perfection.

He himself used the Five Elements Great Dao and the power of the Five Elements, which were developed in the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, to drive this step.

At that time, there will be assistance from the workings of Heaven, and humanity will naturally respond accordingly.

The moment the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man begin to tilt, the recovery of the Western Continent will be smooth and rapid; what remains will be a gradual and subtle process.

While the time required is not something that can be completed with a thousand dollars, it is also incomparable to the original operating trajectory.

"In this matter, I will personally assist in tilting the balance of Heaven's will..."

"If the Primordial World as a whole wants to continue its expansion and development, the weakness of the Western Continent must be addressed, and this matter needs to be put on the agenda..."

After a few breaths of silence, Hongjun Daozu nodded.

After saying that, Hongjun Daozu did not speak again. At this time, the Three Pure Ones, Houtu and other great supernatural beings walked out of the main hall one after another.

Upon seeing the situation in the main hall, all the powerful beings were taken aback, but then they realized that it was normal for the Dao Ancestor to pay attention to and talk to Zhen Yuanzi, given his level of strength.

"Dao Ancestor!"

The group of powerful individuals went directly to the foot of the platform, bowed in greeting, and then sat down.

Over the next ten thousand years, other powerful gods and demons arrived one after another. Only after all three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace had arrived did Haotian and Yaochi close the palace gates!

……

Hongjun Daozu glanced around and then nodded slightly, saying, "You have all made great progress in your cultivation over this period of time, and each of you has gained something different."

"This is how cultivation should be; one must not slacken, and only with a firm Dao heart can one reach higher realms of the Great Dao!"

"We need to work even harder in the future!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the powerful beings and the great gods and demons turned solemn, and they cupped their hands in greeting.

"Remember the teachings of the Taoist Ancestor!"

The Dao Ancestor nodded, then glanced at Hongyun and said, "Hongyun, you have done well, but this is just the beginning. In the future, you still need to stabilize the order of the four directions and regulate the cultivation of the immortals."

"Hongyun has remembered it!" Hongyun bowed and said.

The gazes of the Three Pure Ones, Fuxi and Nuwa, Dijun and Taiyi, Xihe and Changxi, Houtu and other great gods fell upon Hongyun.

The Dao Ancestor nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and then said, "This lecture will cover the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal!"

"However, under the operation of the Heavenly Dao, there is another path to follow. Although it is within the same realm, it is indeed a different direction. I have named it..."

"However, under the operation of the Heavenly Dao, there is another path to follow. Although it is within the same realm, it is indeed a different direction. I have named it..."

"Quasi-Saint!"

As soon as the Dao Ancestor finished speaking, the hall erupted in uproar!

They understood that the sages were like the Dao Ancestor, who merged the Dao fruits and status of the Heavenly Dao Sages to attain the supreme status of a sage.

Quasi-Saint, above the Great Luo Golden Immortal, but below the Saint!

Correspondingly, this is the realm of the Primordial Golden Immortal, and the direct path to the Great Dao is that of the Sage!

The shock on the faces of everyone except Zhen Yuanzi had not yet faded when Dao Ancestor continued.

"During this sermon, I will also impart a shortcut method that can be used in conjunction with cultivation at the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal or Quasi-Saint, allowing one to reach a higher realm more quickly!"

At this, the expressions of the powerful beings and deities were greatly alarmed.

Is there a shortcut?

Very good!

Great supernatural beings like the Three Pure Ones, Houtu, Dijun and Taiyi, Fuxi and Nuwa, Xihe and Changxi frowned slightly. The shortcut was good, and it was something they really wanted.

But this also shows that the Dao Ancestor intended to use this to draw a clear dividing line.

At that time, the strong will become even stronger, and those who fail to cross this watershed will be nothing more than ants.

This shortcut can help those who are crossing this watershed to improve more quickly.

This sermon was indeed of great importance!

The entire situation in the primordial world is about to change drastically!

……

Hongjun Daozu's gaze swept over them, taking in their expressions. He said calmly, "Then listen carefully!"

After saying this, Hongjun Daozu closed his eyes tightly, and then the three flowers of auspicious clouds appeared. One after another, the sounds of the Great Dao, the essence and the ultimate truth, the Dao rhythm, the prophecies of the Great Dao and so on, transformed into golden lotuses and were exhaled from his mouth.

Then, the golden lotus disappeared into the great Dao imprint between the eyebrows of all the great supernatural beings and powerful gods and demons.

These insights and golden lotuses can better assist them in verifying and practicing the laws.

The appearance of extraordinary phenomena when sages preach the Dao also indirectly helps them to comprehend the explanations of the Great Dao's laws, allowing them to bring their own understanding of the Great Dao's laws closer to its true meaning and essence.
