He doesn’t speak of expelling the power of the Heavenly Dao, yet he mentions that Ping’an now has some opportunity;
He does not allow Ping’an to claim to be a disciple of the Chan Teaching, yet he insists that Ping’an attend the next Jade Void grand ceremony to listen to the Sect Hierarch’s lecture?
This is the Hierarch’s command, allowing Ping’an to sit alongside his disciples!
Soon, Yun Zhongzi couldn’t help but laugh silently.
Actually, what the Hierarch said just now essentially comes down to two words.
The Hierarch has already given a detailed explanation—Li Dazhi used the method of borrowing fate, giving Ping’an the opportunity to intervene in the great calamity of heaven and earth, providing him with ‘some’ fortune, meaning Ping’an is a small unexpected factor that has forcibly entered the predetermined [endgame].
And since this unexpected factor now involves their Jade Void Palace, they might as well try to cultivate it.
Yun Zhongzi paced again, lost in thought, and enlightenment dawned upon him once more.
Order, the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Court of the Human Race.
Li Ping’an originally had nothing to do with the Heavenly Court of the Human Race, but because of his last ‘rejection of the Heavenly Dao’, he became associated with the future Human Race’s Heavenly Court.
The establishment of the Human Race’s Heavenly Court accompanies the Daoist Immortal Tribulation, something the Hierarch declared at the end of ancient times.
The ruler of the Human Race’s Heavenly Court should be one or more of the ancient Human Emperors, such as Suiren, Fuxi Shi, Shennong, or Xuanyuan.
How could Ping’an, a junior of the Human Race, intervene?
But now, the Hierarch says that Ping’an has an opportunity…
‘He probably has the chance to become a number one figure in the new Heavenly Court.’
As Yun Zhongzi thought this, he already had a rough idea.
To sum it up simply, the Hierarch’s intention is not to dispel this power of the Heavenly Dao, but to treat this power as Ping’an’s opportunity.
The Chan Teaching will help Ping’an in many ways, allowing him to gain some say in the future Human Race’s Heavenly Court, but they cannot let Ping’an openly become a disciple of the Chan Sect to avoid other complications.
Yun Zhongzi slightly raised his eyebrows.
He had fully grasped the Hierarch’s intentions.
Ping’an’s opportunity may also be seen as an opportunity for the Chan Sect; of course, for the Chan Sect, whether this opportunity exists or not doesn’t have much impact.
Thereupon, Yun Zhongzi returned to his cushioned seat and focused his mind on Li Ping’an’s spiritual platform.
At this moment, Li Ping’an happened to be saying:
“The mystery of clouds and mist does not arise on its own, but with the stroke of wind and the touch of sunlight, it changes according to circumstances.”
Yun Zhongzi stroked his beard and smiled lightly, already having an idea in mind.
Firstly, they must establish a power base for Ping’an within the Human Race which can serve as his foundation.
How to construct this power base?
Isn’t this a ready opportunity right before him…
Yun Zhongzi called out, “Ping’an, Ping’an?”
Li Ping’an, who had been intensely lecturing, paused, stopped speaking, and as his Primordial Spirit opened his eyes to look forward, he saw the familiar figure of the old Daoist.
The Primordial Spirit quickly stood up to pay respects.
At this moment, Li Ping’an’s Primordial Spirit and Dao Body were disconnected, and his spiritual platform was enveloped by Yun Zhongzi’s Dao Charm, ensuring that outside parties could not overhear their conversation.
“Teacher, what brings you here?”
Yun Zhongzi smiled, “You burnt a stick of incense, and I sensed it naturally, so I came to help you preach.”
Li Ping’an was genuinely startled.
What does the teacher mean by this?
However, before Li Ping’an could ask, his Primordial Spirit was moved to the side, and his own teacher took his place with composure.
Yun Zhongzi flicked his fingers, and Li Ping’an immediately became dazed.
In a trance, Li Ping’an found himself speaking again, discussing the profound realm and uttering extremely exquisite words.
Even more so, Li Ping’an saw clouds and mist forming around him, condensing into white lotus blossoms that drifted towards the audience of old Daoists from the Wanyun Sect.
Li Ping’an felt a mix of emotions.
He anticipated that from this day on, his reputation as the East Continent’s Enlightenment Stone was inescapable.
But having attracted teacher Yun Zhongzi to speak to the Wanyun Sect immortals about the Great Dao of Clouds was a rare opportunity for them.
Consider it his way of giving back to the Wanyun Sect.
Let’s say, during the first half of Li Ping’an’s lecture, the expectations of the Wanyun Sect immortals were gradually being let down.
Everyone also knew that Li Ping’an’s time in cultivating the Dao was short, he was only at the level of the Heaven and Earth Bridge, and he was practicing only the first part of the “Wanyun Jue”, so even if he lectured with all his effort without reservations, it would at most provide some benefits to the disciples.
The main reason why the Wanyun Xian had gathered was to bask in the Great Fortune of Li Dazhi.
By the time Yun Zhongzi visited Yuanshi in the Jade Void Palace, Li Ping’an had been lecturing for half an hour;
This half an hour, after listening, the immortals could not say that they gained nothing.
It simply provided some new insights into the cultivation before becoming an immortal.
The disciples, on the other hand, had gained a lot.
Many had directly sat down to meditate, seeking to complement the deficiencies in their Dao Foundation.
Overall, the greatest beneficiaries of this lecture were the disciples.
Even Heavenly Immortals began whispering to each other.
“Alas, poor Ping’an, our wishful thinking has troubled him indeed.”
“That’s more like it.
How could just a few words from Ping’an grant us any enlightenment?”
“The Enlightenment Stone is not meant to be used .
Later, let’s apologize to the Sect Leader and Ping’an.
It’s my fault for wanting to hear Ping’an lecture.”
“Alas, I shall also make my apologies.”
“The Sect Leader couldn’t really refuse our request.
Indeed, we have put Ping’an in a difficult position, he must be suffering right now.”
At the frontmost row of cushions.
Li Dazhi couldn’t help but grab the Sect Leader’s arm and quietly transmitted his thoughts:
“Sect Leader brother, didn’t you say everything was arranged?
Let Ping’an recite a few scriptures, and then we’ll pretend there’s a breakthrough below.”
The Sect Leader murmured back, “Maybe Ping’an wants to speak some truth, that’s why he first lectured on disciple cultivation methods.
No worries, he should be starting those scriptures now.”
