A clear bell rang, and everyone quieted down. Hongjun suddenly appeared on the high platform without a sound. There was no sign at all. Minghe's pupils shrank slightly. He thought, "So strong. Is this the power of a Sage?"
Hongjun sat on the high platform and looked down. When he saw River Styx, he paused for a moment and then said, "From now on, your seats will be seated like this and cannot be changed. This lecture will last for three thousand years."
"Before the beginning of heaven and earth, there were things that were mixed together. They were born before the heavens and earth. They were solitary and unchanging, and they could be the mother of the world. I do not know its name, but its name is Dao, and its name is great. The great name is gone, and when it is gone, it is far away. Therefore, Dao is great, heaven is great, earth is great, and living beings are great. "
"Dao can be spoken, but it is not Dao. Name can be named, but it is not name. Nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth, but named is the mother of all things. Therefore, there is nothing, to observe its wonder; there is something, to observe its mystery. These two come from the same origin but have different names, and they are both called mystery. Mystery within mystery, the door to all wonders. "
"Kong De's appearance is followed only by Dao. Dao is an object, but it is vague. Vague, there is an image within; vague, there is an object within. Gentle and dark, there is essence within; essence is true, there is faith within. "
"Great Dao is endless, and it can be controlled. All things rely on it to be born, but they do not reject it, and they succeed, but they do not have it. Clothes nourish all things, but not the master, and it can be called small; all things return to their origin, but not the master, and it can be called big. Because it does not regard itself as big, it can become big. "
… ….
As expected of a Saint's lecture, it was really mysterious and extraordinary. Golden flowers floated down from the sky above the Purple Cloud Palace. Golden lotuses surged from the ground for the cultivators to absorb, and countless spiritual energy transformed into rare birds and beasts. There were cranes crying, Kirin roaring, tigers roaming … All kinds of strange phenomena continued. Golden lotuses surged from the ground, flowers fell from the sky, clouds were born, and light shone everywhere.
The Dao that Hong Jun spoke of this time was not very profound. He spoke from the beginning of the cultivation of living beings to the realm of Daluo Jinxian. Even though everyone present was at least at the Golden Immortal Realm, they listened very seriously. The Dao that Hong Jun spoke of was all-encompassing. Even if it was not necessary for their own cultivation, they could still use it as a reference.
A thousand years later, Hongjun finished talking about all the realms below the Quasi-saint level. River Styx also learned a lot. Although River Styx did not learn the Way of the Three Corpses that he had been looking forward to, he still learned a lot from it.
While listening to the Dao, River Styx's Dao Aura Treasure Mirror was not idle. Everything that Hong Jun said was recorded, and it would be good for his disciples to comprehend in the future. Moreover, River Styx also found that as his cultivation deepened, the ability of the Dao Aura Treasure Mirror seemed to have strengthened. It seemed that the Great Dao back then did not completely destroy the foundation of the Dao Aura Treasure Mirror, and there was still room to maneuver.
River Styx thought that the lecture was over after he finished talking about the Dao of the Golden Immortal Realm. However, to River Styx's surprise, Hong Jun actually continued to talk about the Dao. However, the Dao that he talked about this time was the Dao of Law, and it was the 3,000 Great Daos recorded in the Jade Butterfly of Fate.
How could River Styx not be surprised and delighted? Although the cultivation of the Dao of Law depended on one's own comprehension, it was also extremely beneficial to one's cultivation if he could listen to other people's explanations. Although the Dao of Law that Hong Jun talked about was only the beginner's comprehension of the Dao of Law, it was like a treasure to River Styx.
River Styx listened while activating the Dao Aura Treasure Mirror to record the 3,000 Great Daos. If the Jade Butterfly of Fate recorded the 3,000 Great Daos innately, then the Dao Aura Treasure Mirror could record the 3,000 Great Daos postnatally and deduce them. Perhaps one day, it could also become an existence similar to the Jade Butterfly of Fate.
However, it was a pity that in the next 2,000 years, the Dao of Law that Hong Jun talked about could only be regarded as planting a seed for everyone. Whether the seed could germinate and grow depended on one's luck and comprehension. There was no lack of such people among the 3,000 Mortal Guests.
Many people used the Dao of Law that Hong Jun talked about to quickly comprehend the Dao of Law. The most shocking thing was that more than a dozen people actually used it to successfully step into the Quasi-saint realm. The most eye-catching ones were the six people sitting on the prayer mats at the front. These six people had actually successfully broken through to the Daluo realm and became Quasi-saint members.
River Styx couldn't help but sigh at the astonishing aptitude of these six people when he saw this scene. They were indeed the destined Tendo Saints. By using the Dao of Law that Hong Jun talked about and comprehending the Dao of Law that they had comprehended, the six of them had already reached the peak of the Daluo Jinxian realm. Breaking through to the Quasi-saint realm was only a matter of time. Now, Hong Jun had given them a helping hand.
Everyone had gained something, and so did River Styx. Relying on the heaven-defying ability of the Dao Aura Treasure Mirror, River Styx recorded all the 3,000 Great Daos that Hong Jun talked about for future reference. However, it was a pity that Hong Jun's explanation of the strongest Dao of Law was extremely vague.
Although Hong Jun had become a Saint, he hadn't mastered all the 3,000 Dao of Law. At most, he had only comprehended a few of them. The Dao of Law that he talked about just now was recorded in the Jade Butterfly of Fate. The Dao of Law of Space, the Dao of Law of Time, the Dao of Law of Karma, and other powerful Dao of Law were also recorded very little in the Jade Butterfly of Fate. Moreover, there was still an important Dao of Law missing from the 3,000 Dao of Law.
The Dao of Reincarnation. There was no Six Paths of Reincarnation in the Great Desolation. This also caused the Tendo of the Great Desolation to be lacking. It was also destined that someone would turn into Reincarnation in the future. When the Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared, the Dao of Reincarnation would complement the Tendo and the Tendo would be more perfect.
Silently, 3,000 years passed just like that. Hong Jun stopped at the right time. Everyone was suddenly awakened from their immersion in the mystery. There was an indescribable discomfort in their hearts. It was like drinking water in the desert and it was gone after just one or two mouthfuls. Some cultivators were even ready to curse, but they suddenly realized that they were in the Purple Night Palace. Only then did they gradually calm down.
"This is the end of the first lecture. The next lecture will be 3,000 years later. You can go back now!"
Hong Jun did not care about the reactions of the people below. With a slight wave of his sleeve, he disappeared silently just like how he came. Seeing Hong Jun leave, although the people felt a little regretful, they bowed in unison and said, "Thank you, Hong Jun Daozu. We'll take our leave."
Daozu, this was the key. River Styx suddenly realized that Hong Jun's lecture was for this. The people who came to listen this time were all the top mighty people in the Great Desolation. Many of them had monstrous fate. They respectfully called Hong Jun Daozu, so Hong Jun could obtain their fate.
Fate, as well as fate, was extremely mysterious. From the moment of birth, every living thing had fate on them, whether big or small. Although fate could not be seen or touched, it was closely related to one's cultivation. If one's fate was strong, one would have great fortune. If one's fate was weak, one would be plagued with disasters. If one's fate was weak, one would die.
Thinking back to the time when the Dragon, Phoenix, and Kirin clans were divided into three parts in the Great Desolation, their fate was extremely strong. However, they did not cultivate good karma. In the end, the fate of their clans gradually withered. In the end, they could only withdraw from the stage of the Great Desolation and live in a corner. Because of the weakening of their fate, it was difficult for experts to be born in their clans.
However, why did Hong Jun want to gather the fate of all the people in the Great Desolation? River Styx could not figure it out. However, River Styx had treasures to protect him. The Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, the Red Lotus of Hellfire, and the Black Lotus of Destruction all had the effect of suppressing fate. With these three treasures, River Styx's fate would not be lost.
However, it was different for the people who came with River Styx. How many of them had treasures that could suppress fate? They came to listen to the preaching for a reason. Using their own fate to repay Hong Jun was the result. Everything had its own destiny.
Since River Styx had guessed the mystery, he naturally became cautious. It seemed that Hong Jun was not a kind person. However, he did not know why he was doing this. Regardless, River Styx was already on his guard. However, how could a person who could compete with a demon like Rho be a kind person?
Anyway, it was fine as long as he did not lose his fate. The life and death of others had nothing to do with him. River Styx patted his Taoist robe, got up, and walked out. However, he did not know that Hong Jun had been watching River Styx in the depths of the main hall. Then, he looked at the Jade Butterfly of Fate that was shining with Taoist charm in his hand. No one knew what he was thinking.
In fact, River Styx had guessed correctly. However, he was wrong about one thing. He had lost some of his fate too. However, because he had many treasures to protect him, the loss was very small. As a result, River Styx did not notice it at all. The karma of a Sage was especially easy to obtain.
Moreover, he was not the only one who lost little of his fate. Sanqing had the Merit of Creation and the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda of Heaven and Earth to protect her. Di Jun and Taichi of the Demon Clan had the He Tu, the Luo Shu, and the Chaos Bell to suppress their fate. Zhen Yuanzi had the Earth Book of the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man. There were many hidden talents in the Great Desolation.
