When the light landed on the jade platform, a soft light mist drifted into the air. At the same time, ethereal Dao sounds could be heard. The petals in the surrounding sea of flowers danced in the light mist.
Zhang Yu looked into the light and saw the figure of a Daoist sitting there. However, other than the outline of his body, he could not see his face clearly.
This was obviously the other party's intention. If one's cultivation was insufficient, or if one did not have the protection of the seal given by Xuanting, looking directly at Xuan Zun, even if it was just an incarnation of Xuan Zun, could cause damage to one's soul and consciousness.
The outer layer was different from the inner layer. Xuan Zun could not place all of his power here for a long time. Therefore, he could only use his incarnations to guard the Heavenly City.
It was not just Tianxia Xuanzun. Even the powerful Evil Gods hid their true bodies in the depths of the void. They would not show themselves easily. Only some of their power would leak out from time to time.
The situation of Shangchen's cultivators was the same. At the level of Xuan Zun, most of the time, they would hide in Shangchen.
Therefore, most of the people who were active and responsible for the war were mostly middle and lower level cultivators, the descendants of the Evil Gods, and various other strange creatures.
The Daoist looked at the crowd. However, his gaze paused for a moment on a few people, including Zhang Yu. After a while, he sat down in the light.
At this moment, another chime sounded. A Daoist child's voice came from above, "Everyone, please take a seat."
The cultivators on the stone platform in the middle of the lake heard this and bowed respectfully to the platform. Then, they sat down one by one.
As for the cultivators who did not have a platform to sit on, they sat in their own small boats.
Even further away, the weaker cultivators did not have the qualifications to go closer. Therefore, most of them could only stand by the lakeside and look at the platform.
However, as long as they could see the Dark Light Altar, they could see the figure of the Daoist shrouded in light. Even if they could not understand the speech later, they would not have come in vain.
At this moment, Zhang Yu was also sitting on the praying mat. After a short while, a loud and clear voice sounded from far away, but it also seemed to be nearby.
He discovered that the sound was like a surging river, gushing into his mind and consciousness, making it impossible for him to distinguish what it was.
Thinking about it, he understood that it was because Xuan Zun's words conveyed too much information, and he himself couldn't understand it all, so he heard these mighty sounds.
He had to make a choice in this. He obviously couldn't understand things that were too profound, and he didn't want to waste this opportunity to deliberately listen to things that he understood. What he wanted to hear now was how to make up for his cultivation and find a way to reach the upper realm.
With this thought in mind, the vast and surging sound weakened and retreated layer by layer, and the sound that drifted into his ears gradually became clearer.
As he listened deeper, everything around him seemed to fade away. It was as if he was the only one sitting on the stone platform, and the void above him was magnified infinitely.
At this moment, it was as if he and the Daoist shrouded in light were the only ones in this world.
He knew that this was due to the interaction of Qi, which caused his heart to manifest, so he just calmed his mind and ignored these changes. Instead, he focused on listening to Xuan Zun's words.
Because he had made a choice, he was now listening to things that he could understand.
He soon discovered that the Mystic Venerate was not talking about divine abilities or spells. Instead, he was instructing cultivators on how to cultivate Taoist Techniques.
This was only useful for cultivators who had reached a certain level of cultivation and were trying to find a way to break through.
These Dao were also very profound. Among all the Dao books that he had read in the past, only the ones that Zhu Xuan Shou gave him could be compared.
However, the Dao books that Zhu Xuan Shou gave him only had words, and he had to read them himself, so he had to slowly comprehend everything in them.
However, listening to the Dao this time was different. He felt that his breathing and breath were faintly stirred along with the Dao words. He could understand the subtleties of the Dao at the same time as he listened to the Dao words.
This was one of the benefits of listening to the Dao. It was equivalent to having a brilliant teacher teaching him at any time and place, and he didn't have to figure it out himself.
As the Dao words were transmitted, he gradually became immersed in them.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like a short moment. The Dao voice had already retreated, and he was still sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, as if he was comprehending something.
It wasn't just him, but many other cultivators present were doing the same.
After a long time, he raised his head, and a light flashed in his eyes. The Qi in his body was faintly stirred, but it was quickly withdrawn, and he quickly covered it with the Jade Jacket.
After listening to the sermon, he had gained a lot. His cultivation had taken another step forward, and with his current cultivation, every step forward was a huge improvement.
However, the biggest gain wasn't here.
This Yu Xuanzun was obviously a Xuan Xuan Zun, but what he talked about was the purest form of Dao cultivation.
Intentionally or unintentionally, he had revealed some key points, which showed that regardless of whether it was Xuanxiu, Dao cultivation was extremely useful, and even had some similarities in some aspects.
This made sense, after all, the Xuan Zun lineage was originally separated from the Xuan lineage, but it only flourished under the influence of Xuanting.
Moreover, he was also thinking about how these Xuanxiu seniors, who had no predecessors to follow, had broken through the Xuan Zun lineage. It was obvious that they had already pointed out the key to the younger generation.
This made him involuntarily think of the "Three Essences Return" method in the Xuan Zun lineage.
Previously, when he was thinking about breaking through the Xuan Zun lineage, he had already considered this. This time, the lecture had made him even more determined.
It was said that if a cultivator's three essences were full, they could seek the Superior Dao.
According to this saying, this was when a cultivator's own cultivation reached the peak, it would lead to a transformation of the Divine Qi, and then climb to the Superior Dao.
However, in reality, it wasn't that simple, and there must be some key to it.
Just as he was thinking, the sound of a bell came from the big platform, and then the voice of the Daoist child from before sounded, "The lecture is over, you may return."
Zhang Yu looked over, and he didn't know when, but the figure of the Daoist in the light had disappeared. It was obvious that he had left. He shook his sleeves and stood up from his seat.
At this moment, Yu Ruiqing walked to his side and said, "The lecture is over, Fellow Daoist, do you want to return with me?"
Zhang Yu thought for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, you can go back first. I still have some things to do here."
Yu Ruiqing said, "That's fine. Then, Fellow Daoist Zhang, I'll take my leave first." He raised his hand and bowed. Then, he took Yue Luo to the small boat and sailed back.
At this time, on the Dark Light Platform, Jia Antong and the others also came back to their senses after listening to the lecture.
The pavilion closest to the water enjoys the moonlight first. They were on the side of the platform, and they were Xuan Zun's disciples, so they had heard of some of the Dao techniques before. At this time, they were guided by the Qi, so they more or less gained some benefits.
The cultivator surnamed Xu asked in a low voice, "Senior Martial Brother, how much did you comprehend?"
Jia Antong pondered for a moment and said, "I only understood a little." He wasn't talking nonsense, and the Qi in his body had improved slightly compared to before the lecture.
The cultivator surnamed Xu sighed and said, "I listened for so long, but I feel that I didn't make much progress."
He felt that he could understand those Dao scriptures, but he felt that they didn't make much of a difference to him.
In fact, he could be considered to have gained something. Most cultivators felt that they had heard some Dao scriptures and seemed to have understood them, but when they turned back, they actually didn't gain anything.
Jia Antong looked around at his fellow disciples who were close to him and felt that there was a limit to the improvement of their Qi dynamic. He said, "I have already said that you have to pay more attention to your cultivation. Don't waste your time on refining the divine essence. There is a limit to the divine essence after all, but cultivation is endless."
Everyone answered in unison.
The cultivator surnamed Xu said in a low voice, "Senior Martial Brother, before teacher's lecture, it was inconvenient for me to say anything. Just now, we went to invite those two people in person, but we didn't give them face. What do you think?"
Jia Antong glanced at him and said, "I don't have any opinion. That's because they have no fate with the Dao. They are the ones who suffered losses."
The cultivator surnamed Xu said, "But they always refused to give us face …"
Jia Antong glared at him and warned him, "Junior Martial Brother, don't do anything wrong. Although teacher is tolerant of us, he will never allow us to do anything that violates the law. Don't do anything excessive just because you are teacher's disciple. If something happens, not to mention teacher, I will not let you go."
The cultivator surnamed Xu said, "Senior Martial Brother, don't worry. I won't do such things here. But what if other brothers also invite them?"
Jia Antong glanced at him and understood his thoughts. He was also tempted for a moment, but after all, the cultivation just now was used, and his mind was still clear. He immediately suppressed this thought and said in a deep voice, "I have said, don't be nosy."
The cultivator surnamed Xu saw that he was insistent and looked very serious. He said resentfully, "I know, Senior Martial Brother."
After Yu Ruiqing left, Zhang Yu took a boat to the Dark Light Platform located in the center of the lake. He had one more thing to do at the moment, and the boundary happened to be here.
When he stepped from the boat to the big platform, he suddenly felt that someone was looking at him. He turned his eyes and didn't care. After identifying the direction, he walked along the path covered with petals.
Soon he came to a tall stone gate. An old cultivator was guarding there. When he saw him coming, he bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist, do you have the talisman?"
Zhang Yu raised his hand and took out the jade talisman given to him by Counselor Tang of the General Affairs Department. This was also the reward for killing the evil spirit.
After the old Daoist looked at him, he lowered his head and made way. The stone door also rose with a rumble, revealing a slightly deep staircase.
Zhang Yu glanced at it, waved his sleeves, and walked inside.
At this time, on the big platform, the cultivator surnamed Xu was about to return to Heaven City, but a disciple came over and said, "Martial Uncle, I saw one of the two people you asked me to pay attention to leave, but the other one went to the bottom of the platform."
The cultivator surnamed Xu's expression changed, and he said, "Oh? Where did he go? Interesting. " He thought and said, "If he is there, I can try to teach him a lesson or two, and Senior Martial Brother can't say I'm wrong."
