Chapter 111 Golden Phoenix
"Firstly, it can strengthen the cohesion of the human race; secondly, it can give the Nest Emperor something to do, allowing him to temporarily forget what happened before, lest he get bored and cause problems!"
"Haha, that makes sense!"
"Later, I will entrust all matters concerning the sermon to my second brother, ensuring he has no free time." Clapping his hands and smiling, Suirenshi was very satisfied with Feng Zichen's suggestion.
Three years later, hundreds of thousands of human immortals gathered outside the ancestral temple to listen to Suirenshi's sermon.
Sermons by a Great Luo Golden Immortal were not uncommon in the prehistoric world, but this was the first time for a human, naturally attracting a large following.
Even some aquatic beings, upon hearing the news, traveled great distances to come, hoping to gain some insight from the Great Luo's sermon and take a further step forward.
Sitting upright on the cloud platform, Suirenshi seemed to be in harmony with heaven and earth, his voice booming as he expounded the Way of Fire.
"Fire is the essence of Yang, and its nature is blazing. Fire is one of the Five Elements. The essence of Yang disperses and is distributed as fire. It has energy but no substance, and it can give birth to and kill all things; its wonders are boundless."
"When humans use fire, they must take wood, and there are changes in the four seasons and the Five Elements. Strong fire disperses energy; weak fire generates energy. Fire produced in late spring is valued for its freshness, which is the meaning of weak fire."
"Humans have one Yang fire, the Bing and Ding sovereign fire, located in the heart and intestines, called Li fire."
"Humans have two Yin fires, the Mingmen ministerial fire, said to originate from the North Sea, called Kan fire, traveling through the Sanjiao and residing in the liver and gallbladder, the three flavors of fire, which is pure Yang Qian fire." "
In total, there are six Yang fires and six Yin fires, making a total of twelve."
As Suirenshi preached, the innate fire energy in the world gathered, forming various strange phenomena, such as orchids and immortal trees, fire dragons flying, and Fusang swaying, demonstrating the principles of the fire element.
A century later, Suirenshi ceased his sermon. Seeing that everyone was still immersed in the Daoist principles and had not yet awakened, he pondered for a moment, then, with a flick of his sleeve, suddenly reached out and grabbed at the void. With a thunderous roar, this grab seemed to tear through the endless void. Instantly, the void cracked open, revealing massive fissures from which primordial energy surged forth, flowing towards the crowd.
Hundreds of thousands of immortals gathered together, cultivating simultaneously—the amount of primordial energy required was immense!
The shores of the East Sea were not some blessed land; where would they find so much primordial energy for everyone's cultivation?
In just a century, the primordial energy accumulated on the shores of the East Sea over tens of thousands of years had been completely consumed by the crowd.
If Feng Zichen hadn't secretly communicated with the Zichen Grotto-Heaven to draw upon primordial energy, this sermon would have ended prematurely due to the depletion of primordial energy.
Now, Suirenshi awoke, discovered this situation, and without hesitation, personally intervened, drawing boundless primordial energy from the void, instantly replenishing the deficiencies of this place.
Another century passed, and those immersed in the Great Dao gradually awoke, unleashing powerful auras that absorbed the primordial energy from all directions.
Many had gained much from Suirenshi's lecture, advancing to higher levels.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames shot into the sky as three human Golden Immortals merged with the Dao, breaking through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
Furthermore, water and fire energies erupted, merging and forming a Taiji diagram of water and fire. One aquatic creature, through analogy, comprehended the Dao of water and fire, thus entering the Taiyi realm.
"Ah!"
"Truly worthy of an ancient great clan, so many talented individuals! How many of my human youths can compare to such talent!"
This commotion drew Suirenshi's attention, who inwardly praised him
. "Alright, this lecture is over. You may all disperse!" After waiting several more years, seeing that most had awakened, Suirenshi spoke leisurely.
"Thank you for your guidance, Emperor Sui (Daoist Master)!"
Without saying anything more, Suiren smiled, and his figure gradually disappeared. " …
Screech!"
One day, as everyone was discussing human affairs in the ancestral temple, a melodious bird song suddenly rang out, its sound resounding for miles, containing an inexplicable Daoist charm that shook everyone's minds.
"This is…"
"Our opportunity has arrived!"
Upon hearing the bird song, before the others could react, the Youchao and Ziyi clans felt their true spirits tremble repeatedly, subtly expressing a sense of joy. They couldn't help but exchange a glance, their faces filled with ecstasy, and turned to run outside.
"An opportunity?"
"What opportunity could have caused the Youchao and Ziyi clans to lose their composure like this? Let's follow and see."
Curious, the others thought for a moment and then followed them out.
Not long after, a golden phoenix flew in with incredible speed, arriving before the crowd in the blink of an eye. It delivered a decree:
"By the decree of the Goddess Nuwa, the three members of the human race, Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi, are summoned to the Nuwa Palace for an audience!"
"It's the decree of the Holy Mother!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd was initially shocked, then immediately knelt down, their faces composed and extremely respectful, daring not to show the slightest disrespect.
"Suiren, Youchao, and Ziyi, we respectfully obey the Goddess's decree!" The three stepped forward and said simultaneously.
"The Goddess dislikes empty formalities; the sentiment is enough. Please, Daoist Venerable, allow them to rise!"
The golden phoenix transformed into a beautiful woman in palace attire, approaching Suiren and speaking respectfully to him.
A Great Luo Golden Immortal is the embodiment of the Great Dao, equal in veneration to the Dao. Even though the golden phoenix came from the Nuwa Palace, as long as she was not yet a Great Luo Golden Immortal, she dared not disrespect Suiren.
"Please wait a moment, Fairy." Suirenshi nodded, then turned to the crowd and said, "Rise, all of you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The crowd first bowed towards the ancestral temple before getting up and leaving.
"Please rest inside the hall, Fairy. We are preoccupied with worldly affairs and will need some time before we can go to the Nuwa Palace to pay our respects to Your Majesty." At this point, Suirenshi asked somewhat nervously, "In that case, Your Majesty shouldn't mind, right?"
"Your Majesty is all-powerful and understands everything. When you sent me here, you didn't mention that Daozun should act immediately. I suppose you already foresaw this!"
"Furthermore, Your Majesty is magnanimous and incomparably compassionate. How could Your Majesty hold such a trivial matter against Daozun? Daozun is overthinking it!"
After thinking seriously for a moment, Jinhuang replied.
"In that case, I am relieved!" Suirenshi breathed a sigh of relief and led Jinhuang into the ancestral temple.
"If Daozun has something to attend to, please go ahead and do your business. Don't worry about me." Inside the ancestral temple, Jinhuang curiously looked at Suirenshi and said to him.
Suirenshi spent hundreds of thousands of years cultivating to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, making him arguably the most powerful of all innate beings, aside from the primordial deities.
Therefore, countless beings in the prehistoric world were curious about him, wondering how he had cultivated so quickly, transcending the river of fate and entering the realm coveted by all.
In truth, Suirenshi's cultivation time was far shorter than that of Jinhuang, yet the former was already an immortal Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The latter, however, was still struggling in the mortal world, desperately seeking the path to transcendence—truly, fate is unpredictable!
