Chapter 289: The Sixteen Sects Teach the Supreme Dao
Xu Lin and Shangguan both felt happy. You must know that both of them have already reached the Immortal Step Peak Great Perfection, and they are only a slight distance away from the Legend of Heavenly Destiny. According to their own understanding, the time for this promotion may be within a year or two, but neither of them can wait that long.
The sixteen sects are in charge of the supreme teachings, and with their experience, they are absolutely broad and profound, encapsulating the universe and the earth, and encompassing the heavens and the earth. Every word, every sentence, can inspire them.
Even if the other monks present listened to it, they would also be beneficial. But there was definitely no benefit to Xu Lin and Shangguan, and the two of them faintly felt in their hearts that this first day's discussion might be an opportunity for them to promote the Legend of the Mandate of Heaven. This idea came to the minds of the two of them at the same time, the corners of Xu Lin and Shangguan's mouths were slightly upturned, and there was an indescribable surprise hidden in the corners of their eyes.
"Now, this seat declares that the conference of the Doctrine has officially begun. Please invite the Supreme Master of the Five Caves Heavenly Sect, and the Supreme Master of the Nine Dao Sects. On the high platform, Duanmu Qingfan gave everyone time to check the itinerary on the gold post, and then spoke again.
As his words fell, the heads of the fifteen sects on the high platform all stood up one by one. In the square, thunderous applause immediately rang out. This time, this applause is no longer pure reverence, reverence. And mixed with gratitude. The cultivation path is hard, and the immortal epics of the sixteen sects are willing to spread their experience, which can be said to be selfless. All this made all the monks present grateful from the bottom of their hearts.
Including Xu Lin and Shangguan, although both of them were not very interested in Tiangong Academy, the actions of the sixteen sects still made them extremely grateful.
"Brother Duanmu Dao, please!"
"Brother Nangong Dao, please!"
"Fellow Daoists, please!"
After the supreme sect leader of the sixteen sects stood up, they greeted each other one after another, and each of them humbly bowed. In the end, sixteen people took steps at the same time, step by step into the void, treating the air as if it were nothing. Sixteen men came to the open space in the middle of the square, each looking for a place, and saluted the crowd.
There is no order, no condescension, no conspiracy. The supreme sect leader of the sixteen sects is so casual or lying, or sitting, or standing, or panning. There are no constraints, no rules. It's so casual and easy.
Seeing these sixteen peerless powerhouses who could only look up, they were all so casual and relaxed. The monks who looked up at them under the square also relaxed invisibly, as if there were no more ties in their hearts, and they had forgotten what they were doing here, and the excitement on their faces disappeared, and they were all extremely calm.
Xu Lin's heart was also extremely quiet at the moment, and the casual ease of the sixteen immortal epics also infected him, making his whole person relaxed. He looked up at the sixteen immortal epics in the sky above, and there was a flash of essence in his eyes from time to time.
"It's a good way, it's a very good way. It is the old way, the foundation of heaven and earth, and the source of all things. Calm your heart and grow out of anger...... "The first to speak was Duanmu Qingfan, who quoted the opening sentence of the Tao Te Ching in the humane chapter of the ancient sage Li Er as the opening of the entire Taoist conference.
"There is a Tao in the world, there is yin and yang, there is life and death, everything in heaven and earth has a Tao, all in the Tao, and all outside the Tao. What is the Tao?" Nangong Qiyun also spoke, and his voice was loud, coming slowly, rippling throughout the square, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
"Whatever is, there is no extreme, and Taiji is born. Then two two rituals and four images, from nothing to something, from existence to nothing, the Tao is reincarnation, endless......" The Water Moon Immortal Master spoke, his voice was crisp, like the sound of ice and snow.
The supreme sect leader of the sixteen sects launched a debate conference in the sky above, some of them had passionate voices, some were low, and some seemed to be asleep, but every time they talked about the key point, they would suddenly interject a sentence, so that the people who were already a little confused were like being enlightened, and all their doubts were answered.
There are also people who have never spoken, such as the master of the Shadow Mansion. It's not that he wants to hide his secrets, it's mainly that the Tao he cultivates, which belongs to the way of darkness, is an outlier. Even if he did, none of the monks present would be able to understand. So, although he didn't speak, no one blamed him.
They were talking in the sky one after another, and Xu Lin, one of the monks in the audience, was also fascinated by what they heard. After mapping what they said to his own cultivation, Xu Lin suddenly found many things that he didn't understand, and he understood everything in front of his eyes as if he had seen the sun.
This is the first time that such a conference has been held in Tiangong Academy. In the last ten years of the Dao Conference, there was also a discourse on the Tao, but it was just for preaching, and it was preached by an immortal epic of Tiangong Academy for monks alone. Although it can also benefit people, it is definitely not as great as the benefit of today's discourse.
Unconsciously, half an hour has passed, and the sun wheel in the sky has quietly walked to the west, although it is still hanging high, but it is not far from the time of falling into the water. Xu Lin woke up from that intoxicated state, and after noticing the sun wheel that was about to set in the west, he was slightly startled in his heart. I hurriedly took the time to look at the golden post, and found that it was written that the supreme of the sixteen sects was taught for two days and one night.
At that moment, Xu Lin was relieved. Such an opportunity is rare, and if you can listen a little more, you can listen a little more. Originally, he thought that this kind of preaching would only be for one day, so he was shocked. But after seeing that the meeting was held for two days and one night, I continued to listen with peace of mind.
Time passed, and the sun sank in the west.
In the night, on the square, the guards of the Royal Forest Army had already changed a batch. In the center of the square, a moonlight bead the size of a human head released a light that was not as bright as the sun, and around the square, there were countless moonstones floating, rendering the entire square as bright as day.
All of this was done by those Imperial Forest Soldiers who didn't know how to cultivate, and those who knew how to cultivate, and who were true cultivators, were already immersed in the treatise of the sixteen immortal epics.
After a daytime discussion, after nightfall, the discussion seems to have entered a ** part. At this time, the sixteen immortal epics all opened their mouths to debate, and each of them spoke. This sudden change made the monks below first startled, and then their faces showed great joy.
They all listened attentively, and no one was distracted from thinking about anything else. This kind of opportunity is rare in a thousand years, and the monks present who can reach the step of the Yuan Shen are not stupid people, so they naturally know how to cherish this kind of opportunity.
Among the monks, Xu Lin listened, but his eyes slowly closed. After listening to the sermon for a whole day, Xu Lin seemed to have touched the little thing he wanted, and naturally began to close his eyes and comprehend.
In his body, one of the three thousand avenues, Xihua Zhenjie operated on its own. However, the speed of this operation was not fast, and the Xihua Divine Qi absorbed from the surrounding space appeared directly in the Xuan Palace in his body, and in the flesh and blood, in the meridians, there was not a trace missing to the outside.
After Xu Lin closed his eyes, Shangguan's eyes also closed, he seemed to have realized something, and without any hesitation, he entered the meditation. After the two of them, among the sixteen sect disciples in the center of the square, some disciples also began to close their eyes. And after them, in the square, more and more monks closed their eyes and entered into meditation.
The sixteen immortal epics in the sky still did not stop, perhaps they also entered a certain state, and they did not notice that more and more people below had entered the meditation.
Time passed again, and as the night passed, the sun rose in the east, and a fiery red light like blood shone on the square, and on all the monks. Those monks who had entered the meditation were illuminated by this light, and their bodies flashed with a faint red light, looking like a sculpture.
At this time, above the sky, the sixteen immortal epics were still arguing. Now, however, their teachings have entered another level, and they are no longer just speaking, and some have even drawn light in the void, condensed things in the light, and some have written scriptures in the void.
There were even some of them who opened their mouths and spat out golden fonts, flickering in the void.
Long before dawn, the immortal epics in the Dao had already seen that all the people in the venue had already entered the meditation, and while they were smiling, they also immediately placed a layer of prohibition over the square, so as not to be disturbed.
However, they raised the position of the Dao a lot, originally only above the heads of the people, but now they have reached a place where the sky is a hundred feet high. Moreover, at this time, their arguments had completely let go of their hands and feet, and they either painted, or used mana, or spoke chapters, all of which filled the high sky where they were full of terrifying atmosphere.
The breath rippled and completely froze the air around it. And they didn't know why, they didn't pay attention, they were still talking loudly, using their hands and feet together, and drawing as they could.
When the sun in the sky was in the middle of the day, among the monks on the east side of the square, there was a sudden surge in the mana on the body of a person. At this time, Yue Mingxuan, who had been paying attention on the high platform, changed his expression, stepped out, and his body appeared in the sky above the monk.
With a wave of his hand, he unleashed a wave of mana that swept the monk up and brought him to the top of the platform. As soon as his mana dissipated, the monk's body immediately shone brightly, and the mana fluctuated violently, and the mana's face also showed a look of surprise.
"Finally promoted to the Immortal Step!"
On the second day of the meeting, the first person to be promoted appeared, from the step of the gods to the peak of the Great Perfection to the step of immortality.
