Chapter Thirty-Three: Thereafter, No More Eastern Palace King (Seeking Bookmarks)
Since then, there has been no more Dong Wang Gong seeking recommendation and collection.
Lao Dao Hong Jun paid more attention to Shen Long, the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou of the Small Thousand Worlds in the Deep Abyss began to take action against Shen Long, and the hidden great powers around the Desolate Ancient Continent also took a look at Shen Long.
Even in the headquarters of the three clans billions of miles away from here, a group of powerful masters felt that something was amiss between heaven and earth, and they all began to investigate.
This is Shen Long's final sermon, where he combs out his own Tao one by one, turning it into the true words of the Tao, speaking them out, including even the way of alchemy, without any reservation.
This time, the momentum of Mount Zhou was even greater. The great powers couldn't help but discuss Shen Long's footwork, but Shen Long's incarnation, Dong Wang Gong, was a specialist in Taoism, so the Heavenly Way helped to hide and cover up, how could it be seen through? Of course, except for Hong Jun, that old monster.
For the external lock, attention, and investigation, Shen Long was unaware. He is now in charge of lecturing, one sentence at a time, great truth, just like a gentle stream flowing into the hearts of all beings, teaching and enlightening them.
As for Shen Long himself, the benefits he gained from within were also immeasurable. All that could be seen was that in the realm of the Three Thousand Great Dao Heavenly Pillars, they were slowly growing.
Because this is the growth of all living beings, on each of Shen Long's great paths, there are countless lives carving symbols, and each symbol flies into the great path to promote Shen Long's growth.
Time is passing day by day, year after year, century after century, Shen Long's preaching has never stopped.
The number of beings who listen to the Tao is still increasing, but most of the spirits who listened to the Tao have become unable to continue due to insufficient qualifications or cultivation, and gradually fell into a deep sleep, while the heavenly light and golden lotus did not enter their bodies.
During this time, various forces of the Primordial Chaos sent their junior disciples to listen to the sermon, but also dispatched powerful experts from their own forces to lie in ambush, hoping to "invite" Dong Wang Gong to join their clan.
Luo Hou's command was executed swiftly by Wu Tian, who mobilized all the powerful forces under his control to lay an ambush.
Nine thousand years have passed, and in Shen Long's fate, the great avenues are becoming more robust. Each of the great avenues has the majesty of a Mahayana Golden Immortal. The world within his fate is becoming increasingly real. Shen Long feels that his fate may burst through the membrane above him at any moment.
However, Shen Long knew that the last layer was the most difficult to break through. He didn't think he could do it now because up until then, Shen Long still hadn't found his own way and was still in a state of confusion, so how could he possibly break through that layer of shackles?
To break through this layer, one must find their own way, merge the scattered 3,000 great paths into one body, and condense them into a powerful force, transforming quantity into quality. However, Shen Long's road is still very long.
Nine thousand years have passed, Shen Long has completely finished speaking out all that he has learned and known, and it is time to stop. The mysterious aura on Shen Long's body gradually disappeared, and the sound of the Great Way flowing in space also gradually disappeared. Shen Long slowly opened his eyes.
All living beings who were listening to the Great Dao suddenly woke up and looked at Shen Long with confusion, wondering why he had stopped speaking.
"The Lord of the East, King Dongwang, felt that it was difficult for all living beings to enter the Tao, so he made a great vow to preach the Tao. For billions of years, he has never slackened." Shen Long said slowly, looking at the eyes of all living beings.
"The Great Virtue of the Eastern King." The crowd of beings who had come to listen, upon hearing this, all bowed down to Shen Long and hailed him as the Eastern King. Even those small demons who had just awakened to spiritual intelligence let out a loud howl, causing the scene to descend into chaos.
Shen Long stretched out his hand and pressed down, instantly calming down, Shen Long continued:
"Today is the last time I will preach, my great vow has been fulfilled and my merits are complete. From now on, I will no longer preach. You may all disperse."
"Big Immortal~~~~~~~"
"Eastern King..."
"Wooooo~~~~~~"
The crowd below shouted in unison, begging Shen Long to have mercy and not stop his sermon.
Looking at their expressions, Shen Long thought to himself, I don't want to either, but it's too late now. Besides, there's nothing more for me to say anyway.
"Hummmmmm..." At this time, the Queen Mother of the West next to Shen Long was shaken by the aura, then opened her eyes. Shen Long saw it and smiled at the corner of his mouth, saying to the Queen Mother of the West:
"I was worried that with such a large Xikunlun, you wouldn't be able to control it and would suffer from qi deviation. But now that the Xuan Ding has been refined, I can rest assured. The Xuan Ding can suppress your qi deviation, so take good care of it."
Due to Shen Long's lecture, the West Kunlun is more than twice as big as before. It's not a place that ordinary people can stay in, even if they have good fortune, it's still hard to settle down. Only those with a noble fate, like San Qing, or those who possess precious treasures, can live here.
"Hmm." The Queen Mother nodded, the Shen Ding was simply made for her, it felt so natural to use, if not for all the listeners below, she would have already snuggled into Shen Long's arms.
"Hum~~~~" After the Western Queen Mother's tripod was refined, the three tripods in Shen Long's Dantian began to shake violently, as if they were about to burst out. This situation had occurred during Luo Sheng's time.
"Huh? Could it be that there's someone with a special physique here?" Shen Long wondered, his mind entering the Dan Tian, sinking into the tripod, sensing what had happened to the three tripods.
"Huh? Such a thing?" Shen Long exclaimed in surprise. It turned out that Shen Long had sensed new information about the Nine Tripods, and inside the tripods, five of them had already appeared: Qian Ding, Li Ding, Kan Ding, Zhen Ding, and Xun Ding, exceeding half of the total number. From now on, if someone with a special physique appears, they will be directly sensed within a certain range.
"So it's really in this mountain after all, but with so many people, how can we find it?" Shen Long was both delighted and worried.
Shen Long looked at the people below who were still begging him, then looked at the shaking tripod, and felt troubled in his heart.
"Right, can't this tripod sense things on its own? Just throw it out and that's it." Shen Long's eyes lit up, "But isn't that a bit too conspicuous?"
"Throw some more elixirs or something, confuse them." Shen Long thought painfully.
Shen Long immediately looked up at the sky and shouted loudly:
"The Heavenly Way is above, our revered Eastern King, has made a great vow to preach the Way, to educate and transform the multitude of beings in the vast wilderness. This is now accomplished, Heaven bears witness."
In the sky, a thunderclap suddenly sounded, and in the void, a vast expanse of golden clouds of merit appeared, covering the entire sky. This cloud of merit was larger than any that Shen Long had ever obtained before, and if it were to be calculated, it would be equivalent to one successful opening of the heavens.
This includes the first lecture on the merits of Taoism, the merits of lecturing on alchemy for all living beings, and of course, the most important thing is still the merits of lecturing on Taoism along the way.
When the golden light of Gongde's lecture reached Shen Long's head, new starlight dots scattered and flew in all directions. Shen Long knew that these were the cultivators who had paved the way for him on his journey, among whom the two largest ones were Taibai and Jiucui Shenniu.
The remaining merits, Shen Long waved his sleeve and collected them into his own destiny without hesitation. These are all my hard-earned rewards, Shen Long muttered excitedly to himself.
The masters below were stunned, and Shen Long took the opportunity to swing his sleeve. The dense elixirs, like raindrops, fell from the sky, including one of Shen Long's cauldrons. Shen Long's mind was focused on who would get the cauldron.
"These elixirs will be given to you as a token of our encounter. Let's each rely on our own luck and disperse."
Everyone scrambled to grab the elixir, some left, and others stayed. Shen Long helplessly looked up at the sky and said:
"The Heavenly Way is above, our revered Eastern King Gong will retreat and hide, no longer manifesting in the vast expanse. From now on, there will be no more Eastern King Gong."
Then his body disappeared, leaving behind only one sentence in the ear of the Queen Mother of the West:
"Don't worry, I'll go into seclusion and cultivate."
A group of stunned cultivators were left behind, still thinking they could get Shen Long's reward. Unexpectedly, the Eastern King directly ascended to the Heavenly Dao and swore an oath to leave the Primordial Chaos, and sulkily went down the mountain. Of course, there were also some cultivators who were willing to stay and become cultivators of Western Kunlun.
Shen Long actually wanted to avoid those guys for a reason, but the main thing was that with the heart's feeling, he went after the whereabouts of that cauldron.
Brothers help out, especially with collection, of course, I highly recommend it too! Thank you so much!!!!!
