If it's just a simple birthday celebration, most immortals are not interested. They seek freedom and peace. Why do I have to travel a long way to attend the ceremony? Who is Zhao Gongming?
It seems that he also knows the flaw of the immortals of the primordial era, that they won't get up early for no profit. The Celestial Master of Heaven still spent a lot of effort for Zhao Gongming. This immortal from the Shangqing Sect issued an edict, promising to hold a teaching session after the grand ceremony, where immortals of all origins and cultivation levels are welcome to attend.
Deng Chanyu was quite interested in this lecture. It's better to listen than not to listen. Sages delivering lectures were relatively frequent during the time they just became immortals, but it's rare now.
No big deal, just too much trouble.
I am a saint when I deliver lectures, and I am still a saint when I don't, so why should I deliver lectures?
Is it not a joy to learn and review at the appropriate times? Normally, it is likely that no student would like to take out the high school textbooks after starting work to study, has Genshin Impact become unappealing?
At this moment, the female figure who prefers not to reveal her name and is busy writing a new method of cultivation has considerable authority. The process is too tedious, yet she cannot just write anything haphazardly.
The same is true for the Celestial Master of Tao.
If you ask him to talk about the Dao of Huayuan Dasheng Yan, he can speak endlessly for thousands of years. However, this involves whether a group of earth and heaven immortals can understand it. Even if they can understand, this is the most valuable knowledge. Why should Tong Tian teach these things?
Let him talk about the knowledge of Jin Immortals and Taiyi Jin Immortals? That brings us back to the issue with the female figure known as She. It's too tedious, and just to maintain appearances, he has to be very careful with his words. If he makes a mistake, it would be embarrassing to the extreme.
The Sage can have countless thoughts in a single instant, but that doesn't mean they don't have to use their brains. Overall, the content of Tong Tian's lecture is quite valuable. To describe it as containing the expectations of the masses is not an overstatement.
Zhiqi Ren said, "Many Dao friends from all paths will attend the grand ceremony. At that time, I will exchange some spiritual materials with other Dao brothers and sisters to make up for the loss of my sister-in-law. What does my sister think?"
He thinks very carefully. As a flagship figure of the Chuanzhen Sect, he has a wide network and can organize this small-scale trading event.
Deng Chanyu couldn't handle this, she's neither socially anxious nor a picky eater, but mainly because she's too young and her social circle is small. Even now that she has reached the Taiyi Jin Immortal realm, many immortals who have been in seclusion for over a hundred years don't recognize her.
Chiqi Ren is very well-connected.
Deng Chanyu nodded and said, "Then, let it be as the master says."
“Very well.”
Even though the Jie sect is known for its swift and decisive actions, this personal transmission ceremony still requires three months for preparation.
Deng Chanyu had previously spent a month discussing the Dao with Wencui, Zhenhang, and others at Mount Emei. There are still two and a half months left before the grand ceremony, so she decides to close her cultivation. It's too short, so maybe she can do something else. There's nothing much to do.
They went directly to the Yunxiao Cave of Taohua Mountain where Zhiqi Ren lived, to continue their lectures and discussions on Dao.
Through these discussions on the Dao, Deng Chanyu also gained a great deal.
It is evident that the Chuanzhen Sect has standardized its cultivation method to a certain extent, discussing various topics such as "inner landscape" and "outer landscape," as well as theories of visualizing the Three Pure Land and witnessing the intersection of dragons and tigers. Occasionally, Wencui and others will also throw out specialized terms like "resolve extinguishing" "break ignorance" "round communion of six senses" and "round communion of six roots."
There are professional explanations and lengthy discourses for all sorts of minor realms and bottlenecks.
Don't care if they are useful or not, it sounds quite impressive.
Deng Chanyu sighed deeply. No wonder the Three Pure Land expelled She from the Xuanmen Sect; her own teacher never paid much attention to this aspect.
For She, isn't it as simple as having hands to become a Jin Immortal or a Taiyi Immortal? Why would one need to cultivate?
The cultivation of She, Deng Chanyu, Nezha, and their lineage is akin to driving a truck filled with mud. They don't care what lies ahead; they just hit the gas and charge forward! Just say whether it's fast or not?
Nezha, after all, has only been cultivating for about eleven or twelve years and has caught up to the level of Yang Jian who has practiced for a hundred years. It's not that Nezha's talent is higher than Yang Jian's; in fact, Nezha's talent is just one step behind. It's simply that Nezha practices faster.
What's this "three poisons and five fears"? What is that? With a 300% increase in cultivation speed, it doesn't even care how many flowers and trees there are on the road!
Deng Chanyu secretly jotted down some of the professional terms and planned to select a part of them to include in the book of the Zizai Jiyi Skill, in order to show off her teacher's high level of skill, hahaha!
Without the blood lock enhancement, the Shang Kingdom's Lingtong Pass could not be supported solely by Ma Yan's mildness. Lei Zhenzi gave Wenyang a rod, and Zhou's army attacked relentlessly. In the end, over 30,000 soldiers were killed and the Lingtong Pass was attacked with great difficulty.
From west to east, the five barriers - the Sishui Pass, the Jiepai Pass, the Chuanyun Pass, the Tongguan Pass, and the Lintong Pass - that blocked the path of the Zhou Kingdom into the Central Plains were all breached.
The Jiameng Pass in the north fell into the hands of Zhou after Yuan Hong left. Later, Jiang Ziyao sent his generals like Chong Heihe to govern the north of the river.
The three passes of the southern mountains, namely the Sanshan Pass and the Longshan Pass, were all under the control of Han.
Now, the Shang Kingdom is left with only Luoyi and some surrounding territories, facing enemies on all four sides: east, west, north, and south.
Jiang Ziyao returned to the Xīqí City and made a general mobilization, preparing for the final attack to completely destroy the Yin Dynasty.
Nangong Shu prompted him to consider keeping some troops in reserve to watch out for the sharpening knives of the southern Han state.
Old Jiang and the High Heaven, this client, have connected. Now, he wants to hurry up and complete the divine appointment, and then he'll go to heaven to take an official position. From then on, there will be no more involvement in your human affairs. You can fight among yourselves; I, the elder, won't get involved anymore.
He was eager to "switch jobs." Knowing that the Han on the south was waiting for him to destroy the Yin Dynasty, he would not launch an attack at this time. So, he conscripted all merchants, farmers, herdsmen, criminals, and others in the Zhou Kingdom. Men became soldiers, and women became laborers. There were thirty thousand regular soldiers, and about the same number of auxiliary soldiers. In the end, he claimed a million soldiers and led his army majestically away from Xīqí City to launch the final attack on the Yin Dynasty.
"Chancellor, there is a woman blocking the road ahead." General Nangong Shu rushed to report.
Jiang Ziyao was puzzled. A woman blocking the road? With a million troops here, do we not proceed because of a single woman blocking the way?
Nangong Shu is after all one of the four friends of King Wen, and the oldest minister in the Zhou Kingdom. As a veteran general, he has always been diligent in his work. Therefore, Jiang Ziyao cannot scold him.
"General Nangong, you lead the rear. I'll go to check ahead."
Jiang Ziyao rode on his four-legged animal to the front and indeed saw a middle-aged woman dressed in a green palace robe, with an air of dignity, standing in the middle of the road.
After recognizing the woman's appearance, Jiang Ziyao finally understood why Nangong Shu was having trouble.
Thought for a while, he also got off the four-legged animal and bowed deeply: "Jiang Ziyao greets Her Majesty the Queen."
Queen Jiang was gentle in temperament and her voice was pleasant: "Jiang Chancellor, I am no longer the former Lord of the East Sea Jiang. Do not mention the title of Queen again."
Even though she said that, Jiang Ziyao still stood up straight and bowed respectfully.
