Chapter 45: The Old Master Takes the Lead in Establishing the Teachings and Guiding All People to Become Saints Like a Gathering of People
This time, Zhou Cheng's hundred-year retreat has achieved the Mixed Yuan Holy Man. His heart and nature have undergone tremendous changes, becoming even more carefree and self-centered, with a deeper appreciation for nature. His understanding of nature, life, emotions, and humanity has reached an extremely high level, a realm of great love. It is wonderful to be alive, to have emotions, and to be a saint!
For a hundred years, he hadn't seen the people under his door, and Zhou Cheng was still eager to see them. Especially when he had just become a saint, his worldly emotions not only didn't fade away but instead became even stronger. After all, his path to sainthood was based on power and emotion. His great love for humanity ultimately led him to attain the position of Mixed Yuan Saint.
"You all come to my residence, Xie Yu Xuan, to see me." Zhou Cheng relayed the message and called everyone to his thatched hut by the cliff to see him. In his previous life, he liked rain, and after becoming a saint, although the thatched hut was still habitable, it should at least have a name. Xie Yu Xuan was actually a name he came up with casually.
Everyone was either playing or cultivating, and upon hearing Zhou Cheng's voice, they all had a hint of surprise. What's going on with the teacher this time? The transmission seemed to be like the Supreme Truth, every word could shake one's Dao heart.
"Pay respects to the teacher! Teacher is safe and sound!" Everyone arrived at Xie Yu Xuan, saw Zhou Cheng sitting upright on a bamboo chair, his whole body emitting an aura that made people surrender, vaguely like the great truth of Tao. This teacher was indeed very strange, after being in seclusion for only a hundred years, he could actually embody the Tao? The crowd was shocked and involuntarily knelt down to pay their respects with three bows.
"This time in seclusion, I have gained a lot. From now on, my lineage will have an extra layer of security." Zhou Cheng said with a loving gaze at his many disciples. In recent years, Zhu Yu and Shi Zhong had grown up, and the young man had become a husband. Their cultivation had already reached the Great Golden Immortal realm, and they only needed to gather their essence, energy, and spirit, and accumulate the five elements in their chest to attain the position of Great Luo Golden Immortal. The only one who hadn't changed in the past hundred years was Bai Yun, still with a mischievous look on his face, swaying back and forth even as he knelt there, restless and impatient. In just a short hundred years of cultivation, he had already reached the Return to Void Great Completion realm, and next would be the Immortal Realm. Indeed, he had excellent innate talent, worthy of his identity as a divine being. Behind Bai Yun, his parents, Bai Meng and his wife, were filled with happiness, their son bringing them immense joy. Their own cultivation was gradually entering the late stage of Golden Immortality, their bodies faintly radiating a blue light, only waiting for it to burst forth from the top of their heads and reveal three flowers, which would be the sign of Great Golden Immortal completion.
"The teacher's trip this time, it seems that the Taoist method has been improved, and our Qingqiu Mountain Gate is blessed." Kong Xuan said with a happy face. His strength had progressed the fastest, and the five-colored divine light behind him was already two-thirds complete, with extraordinary power. With Zhou Cheng's help, plus his own exceptional talent, Da Luo Jinxian had already reached the early stage of completion, and when the opportunity arose, he could enter the middle stage. It was likely that compared to Yun Xiao and others, he would not be inferior at all. Zhou Cheng also saw it with great joy, after all, there were not many disciples under his gate, and having such strength was not bad either. Although he didn't care about strength and qualifications, if both were combined, wouldn't it be even better?
"Alright, I will find an opportunity to lecture and impart the great way to you all. You are all my disciples, belonging to the direct lineage, from now on you should be close and loving, mutually supporting each other, don't engage in internal strife and create trouble, it would make me as a teacher feel disheartened." Zhou Cheng's words this time were more concerned about the future development of his disciples. As if echoing what was said later, "children have their own blessings, abandoning them to fend for themselves" is feared to be slaughtered by other saints, wanting to die together with fellow Taoists and not die alone in poverty, they must first unite as one, then jointly defend against enemies.
"You all continue to cultivate diligently, comprehend the great way of our sect, and in the future, there will be a time when you can put it into practice. Remember that understanding the heavenly way is paramount." Zhou Cheng said no more, dismissed the crowd with a wave of his hand, and then meditated in emptiness.
"Hey, Dad, what's going on with the teacher this time? His strength is unfathomable, that's nothing new. But why do I feel like facing him is like trying to comprehend the will of heaven?" Bai Lu asked, tugging at Bai Meng.
"I don't know either, it's just that I feel like the teacher is different from before." Bai Meng also didn't know, and could only shake his head and say.
"Hehe, the more powerful Master is, the better. From now on, Little White Cloud won't be bullied by others anymore." Little White Cloud shook her small radish head excitedly as she spoke, causing a burst of laughter from the Bai couple, and what she said was indeed reasonable.
Zhu Yu quickly followed up with a thoughtful Kong Xuan, shouting twice, but he didn't see him respond. Suddenly, he was slightly annoyed and walked forward to pull his collar: "Younger brother, what are you thinking about? I've been calling you repeatedly, but you're not responding."
"Ah, it's actually Bamboo Language Sister!" Kong Xuan saw that Bamboo Language had grabbed onto him and turned his head to smile in response. Bamboo Language had always been very good to him, which moved him deeply.
"What's wrong with Master today?" Zhuyin stared at Kong Xuan's face and asked.
"Master? Master is fine, isn't he? Isn't everything all right?" Kong Xuan looked at Zhu Yu with a surprised expression, "Could it be that Master has discovered something amiss?"
"Hmph, you really don't know? I won't bother with you anymore. I'll go find Shi Zhong." Seeing Kong Xuan pretending not to know, Zhu Yu huffed and walked away to find Shi Zhong.
"Hey, you guys must have been staying in Qingqiu Mountain for too long. The teacher's performance this time, I think he should have already become that Hunyuan Saint. Kong Xuan is clever and has a keen mind. He had already known earlier that the teacher was one of the four disciples under Hongjun Gate and had obtained the sacred position. This time's performance, it can be guessed that he has become a saint. Zhou Cheng finally achieved his goal, he was overjoyed, but where was his own path? The position of a saint is probably hopeless, still needs to cultivate diligently, so that in the future there will be a way to protect oneself. Those fellow disciples in the sect who are like family can also take care of each other."
Four hundred years passed quickly, with Zhou Cheng either traveling outside, or secluded in his study calculating the movements of the celestial bodies, or lecturing on the great Tao.
Zhou Cheng recovered from his meditation and stepped out, arriving above the human settlement. He gazed at the bustling crowd below and let out a gentle sigh: "The Hong Jun Gate is about to produce a saint!"
Laozi indeed arrived, seeing Zhou Cheng already waiting there. His heart and spirit stirred, silently calculating the heavenly mechanism, he already knew that this younger brother had become a saint. After the surprise, he also felt helpless, and could only come forward to pay his respects.
"However, my junior brother has a deep affinity with good fortune and has taken the lead on the grand path. I still hope that you will complete this matter for me." The old man knew that Zhou Cheng had spoken, saying that those who act arbitrarily towards others will die. Earlier, he was not afraid, but now that Zhou Cheng had become a saint, he couldn't help but be cautious.
"I had said it long ago, the human race will enjoy 500 years of peace and tranquility. After that, it's up to each individual's fate." Zhou Cheng said calmly, Laozi's teachings this time cannot be stopped.
"Great!" The old man saw this trip was not as unsmooth as last time, and his mood improved.
"Master Brother, we have come to pay our respects." However, it was the other two of the Three Purities who had arrived. Although the three of them did not get along well, they could not afford not to come for this major event.
"Master brother, Zhun Ti, I've come to pay respects." The queue has formed to watch the play.
"Haha, my fellow disciples, this time I will establish a great teaching to become a saint. Just wait for Nüwa Shimei to come, and the great merit of educating the human race will be accomplished." Laozi was in high spirits, thinking that becoming a saint was just around the corner, how could he still remain calm and tranquil, boasting about non-action.
"The Master's words are polite, the human race was created by me, and Nüwa and Hou Tu dare not come." However, it was Nüwa who brought Hou Tu.
Zhun Ti saw that everyone had arrived and said: "Please ask the great master to display the Three Pure Great Law, establish a great teaching, and perfect the merits."
"This is the true principle." Laozi took the lead in showing his true body, stepped out, took out the Taiji diagram, and shook it empty. Thousands of air machines scattered towards the crowd below.
"I am Laozi, a disciple of Hongjunmen, transformed from the primordial spirit of Pangu. This time I establish the teachings for humans, and from now on, all of you will be taught by me." Laozi said in a condensed voice.
The crowd below was pulled by the aura of Taiji diagram and they all knelt down, calling out "Great Virtue".
The sky outside the sky was in a state of turmoil, and the Heavenly Way responded. The merits of Pangu's opening of heaven and the merits of establishing the teachings descended together, and Laozi obtained them, instantly becoming a sage. After a flash on Laozi's body, an even more mysterious saintly body appeared, but the severed leg was still not restored, and the infinite calamities remained. With Laozi as the center, a ripple spread throughout the entire Hongyuan, and the spiritual energy fluctuated violently. The stars in the sky responded, and it seemed like the time when Nüwa became a saint, opening the gate of convenience and descending boundless starlight to celebrate.
"The Human Teacher has risen!!!" As soon as this voice came out, the entire Honghuang heard it. In the dark and mysterious void, all living beings seemed to know that a sage had emerged, and they all knelt down and bowed from afar to pay their respects to the sage.
