Chapter 663 552: Nezha's Sermon
Are Saints truly selfless? You really think too much.
People have likes and dislikes, and Saints are the same; even sunflowers know to sway with the sun.
However, Nezha wouldn't make it too obvious; he layered three regions in space, so each person couldn't see the others' presence, and everyone felt they were the closest to the Saint.
But the truth is, it's just your feeling.
Nuwa, fearing Nezha lacked experience for the first time, even sent Qingluan to preside, so Daji and others wouldn't be flustered without her management.
Qingluan is very spirited now; her master is a Saint, and her master's disciple is also a Saint!
So, who do you think is the most powerful mount in Primordial times?
In the future, even Taiqing's Green Bull would be slightly inferior compared to itself!
As time went on, the great deities arrived one by one, continually being led to their own small compartments. Initially, they might have been puzzled as to why they were alone, but they soon understood that the methods of a Saint were beyond their imagination.
Other Saints wouldn't have such considerations as Nezha; they were indifferent to whether others listened or not. If you didn't want to listen, you were free to leave.
The family section consisted of people very close to Nezha, including Long Ji, Jin Ling, Yunxiao, Guanyin, Shi Ji, Old Li's family, and others.
The friends section included Hao Tian, the Queen Mother, Zhen Yuanzi, Nine Heavens Xuan Nu, Yun Zhongzi, Taiyi, and others.
Indeed, Hao Tian, the convenient father-in-law, put aside his pride and came. Pride was insignificant compared to the sermon of a Saint.
The acquaintances section comprised disciples of the Three Sects and subordinates of the Heavenly Court whom Nezha had met several times.
The strangers section was for those who rushed here. If you arrived early, you would be closer to the front; if late, farther behind. It all depended on your own skills.
When the ten-year period was up, Nezha directly closed off Taihuangtian. Those who hadn't come were out of luck; the Great Dao of a Saint wasn't so cheap.
Nezha directly appeared in the main seat. Everyone felt as if they were facing Nezha one-on-one, though this wasn't the case.
He didn't say much and directly released his lotus-shaped Primordial Dao Fruit. Everyone who came trembled; just by looking, it seemed like they were directly facing the Great Dao, and they couldn't help but be drawn in, as every lotus leaf was a manifestation of the Great Dao.
In a calm tone, Nezha started from the Daluo Golden Immortal, narrating his journey to sainthood.
When he walked the path, it was from the bottom up; ahead was foggy, and he could only light up the road bit by bit. Now, having reached Chaos Origin, he viewed it from the top down without any confusion.
Three hundred years to finish Daluo, three thousand years to finish the Method of Cutting Three Corpses. Nezha's method was more intricate and complex than the Daoist Ancestor's, but it was more detailed, and many of his methods were applicable to people like Zhen Yuanzi.
Immortals present who were stuck at Slaying Two Corpses felt greatly enlightened, with many ideas in mind. So, it could be done this way?
Many were eager to practice cutting corpses immediately.
Nezha, having been nurtured by the Chaos Green Lotus, was frighteningly strong. Even without relying on the Method of Cutting Three Corpses, breaking through to Chaos Origin wasn't difficult, but he used it to save time.
But by then, he was over seventy thousand levels; these little ones couldn't even reach his three thousand levels, barely over two thousand. The path to Dao was indeed very bleak.
Furthermore, becoming a Saint would only get harder in the future.
After concluding the Dao discourse, Nezha gave them some time to sort things out, followed by a Q&A session.
Back then, Hong Jun would answer nine questions each time. Nezha decided to follow the old tradition of the Daoist Ancestor; these over three thousand years of sermons were truly exhausting. The Daoist Ancestor would commence sermons over one hundred thousand years; such long-term, intense mental activity was uncomfortable even for Saints.
For these nine questions, Nezha decided to be fair and skipped the family section. These were all close to him, so they could ask anytime; thus, the nine questions were reserved for the other three sections.
Do you think it's fair? You haven't considered how many people were present.
Roaming the Primordial isn't about fighting; it's about relationships. Can Saints do as they please?
Ah! It seems Saints can really do as they please!
"If you have any questions, you can raise your hand, and I'll choose some to answer."
Swish!
More than four thousand out of over five thousand immortals raised their hands, while the remaining were brought for fun by their masters, muddling through the Daluo Golden Immortal Dao with no real questions.
Nezha expected this; back in Zixiao Palace, the hand-raising rate was 99.77%, with the remaining 0.03% not raising their hands because the front seven didn't need to.
He first picked Junior Brother Hao Tian, who without hesitation recounted the issues he faced during corpse cutting. At this moment, Nezha released some restrictions; although people nearby couldn't see Hao Tian, they could hear his voice.
Xuan Du, Zhen Yuanzi, Duobao, and others focused intently, as corpse cutting was their next step, and Nezha openly pointed out many of Hao Tian's problems.
When cultivating, no one can be without mistakes in facing the unknown path. Nezha was the same; some errors could be corrected, but some were just wrong. Hao Tian was now in the second situation.
After Hao Tian finished, the next chosen were Xuan Du, followed by Duobao and Guang Chengzi.
Though the Mystic Sect had split into Daoist and Buddhist sects, as long as they remained, they were the orthodox of Primordial. Hence, enjoying the greatest benefits was rightful.
The next batch were Zhen Yuanzi and the Queen Mother of the West. These two represented Loose Cultivators who usually stayed out of trouble and contributed to Primordial, deserving rewards.
The remaining three slots were truly random; Nezha called out to whoever caught his fancy, although his preferences were involved. He certainly wouldn't call someone unattractive.
After nine questions were answered, this grand event of the sermon culminated; everyone felt the trip was worthwhile.
Thus, they stood up to salute.
"Thank you, Saint Lord, for your compassion. Thank you, Saint Lord, for your teachings."
Nezha felt he just had a breakthrough in cultivation, reaching another height, but in the common understanding of Primordial Beings, a Saint was no longer human; they were akin to the heavens of Primordial.
They were not of the same dimension, though Nezha didn't want it that way; nevertheless, an unbreakable barrier existed between them.
Looking at everyone respectfully, Nezha felt somewhat indifferent. With a casual wave, the crowd returned to their homes, receiving a complimentary return ticket.
He did not leave immediately but stayed to tutor Yunxiao, Jin Ling, and Kong Xuan for a while.
Old Li and others couldn't stay long, and the Buddhist Sect still needed him to oversee affairs, so he returned but left his younger daughter, Li Zhenying.
According to Lady Yin, the Buddhist Sect was not conducive to the growth of daughters surrounded by Great Monks, while Nezha's place gathered excellent female immortals. If Li Zhenying could learn a bit from them, she would be satisfied.
Nezha indeed liked this younger sister. Unlike the mischief of boys, Li Zhenying was well-behaved and sensible, endearing from an early age.
It's a pity there aren't any essay competitions in Primordial; otherwise, Li Zhenying would surely take first place.
