Chapter 154 Changes Brought About by the Appearance of the Heavenly Dao
His words were like a ray of light shining in the darkness of despair.
There was a moment of silence in the audience, followed by an even more enthusiastic response than when they had heard sermons before!
"Great Immortal Zhenyuan, have mercy!"
"We are willing! We are willing!"
"Please, great sage, take me in!"
"As long as we can find a place to settle down and make a living, we will strictly abide by the rules and devote ourselves to cultivation!"
Countless living beings were so moved that tears welled up in their eyes, and they knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly in the direction where Zhen Yuanzi was.
They were all too aware of their predicament in the present world without protection. To be able to join the ranks of a powerful Primordial Golden Immortal and receive his protection was an opportunity they could only dream of!
As for following the rules? In this era of uncertainty, it is already a great blessing to have a place that values and is capable of upholding the rules!
Seeing that all living beings were willing, Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly.
He did not get up, but remained seated on the green rock, only raising the wide sleeves of his dark Taoist robe.
"If that's the case, then do not resist."
As soon as he finished speaking, he had a thought, and the "Sleeve Universe" divine power, which was already perfected and contained the embryonic form of the universe, was used once again. This time, it was not for fighting, but for containing.
At his cuffs, spatial patterns rippled like water, and a vast, gentle yet irresistible suction force enveloped the creatures below.
This suction force is not brute, but rather carries a sense of inclusiveness and guidance, as if opening a door to a peaceful place.
The first batch mainly consisted of creatures that were relatively small in size, highly intelligent, and quick to react, such as numerous rats and rabbits.
The zodiac animals such as monkeys and chickens, as well as many plant spirits and small insects.
They transformed into streaks of light, flowing into the seemingly small sleeve in an orderly fashion, like rivers flowing into the sea, and disappeared.
Inside the Sleeve Universe, the chaotic microcosm where earth, water, fire, and wind evolved had already been divided by Zhen Yuanzi into large, relatively stable areas suitable for temporary habitation, where these first immigrants were properly settled.
With a flick of his sleeve, seemingly casual, he actually contained tens of thousands of people.
Zhen Yuanzi sensed the space inside his sleeve. Although he still had some energy left, he did not try to use it more for the sake of safety.
He didn't move, but the space beneath the green rock slightly distorted. With one step, he was already at the ends of the earth, instantly returning to the outside of the Longevity Mountain Dojo.
He did not enter the mountain gate, but instead found a place with decent spiritual energy and gentle terrain at the foot of the mountain outside the protective array of Longevity Mountain, and once again spread his sleeves.
"Come out."
The creatures that had been captured felt a blur before their eyes, and they were transported from the Daoist-infused sleeve space to a new world.
Although this place is not as majestic as Buzhou Mountain, nor does it possess the rich spiritual energy of the core area of Wanshou Mountain.
But the air was fresh, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and more importantly, a peaceful, tranquil, and profound Taoist atmosphere permeated the space between heaven and earth, instantly relaxing their hearts that had been tense due to external disturbances.
"This place is on the outskirts of Longevity Mountain. You may open your own caves here and cultivate in peace."
"Remember my rules: no internal strife, and diligent cultivation without ceasing." Zhen Yuanzi's voice resounded in their minds, carrying both admonition and expectation.
After leaving these words, Zhen Yuanzi's figure blurred again, having already returned to the green rocks at the foot of Buzhou Mountain through spatial travel.
And so it goes.
The second batch consisted of medium-sized, relatively docile creatures, such as sheep, dogs, pigs, and some deer.
There are also deer and other beasts, as well as many more stone monsters and earth spirits.
The third batch consists of the largest or most ferocious creatures, requiring some restraint, such as cattle,
Horses, tigers, snakes, and a few other strange beasts such as the zheng and mao.
When collecting these creatures, Zhen Yuanzi deliberately used his own Daoist aura to soothe them slightly and temporarily separated them within his sleeve universe to avoid disturbing other weaker beings.
He flicked his sleeves three times and moved about three times.
When Zhen Yuanzi returned to the foot of Buzhou Mountain from Wanshou Mountain for the last time, the once bustling and noisy plain at the foot of the mountain had become deserted.
All that remained was the green rock that had witnessed his nine years of preaching, and the faint breath of countless living beings that had not yet completely dissipated in the air.
All the creatures that were willing to follow him have safely arrived at the outskirts of Longevity Mountain and begun a new life.
They will multiply and thrive there, gradually forming a loosely connected force centered around Longevity Hill.
Although their cultivation levels are generally not high, their numbers are vast and their types are diverse. Given time, they may well develop into a force to be reckoned with and become the most basic core of Zhen Yuanzi's forces.
After doing all this, Zhen Yuanzi did not stay in the same place.
He took one last look at this ancient land that had witnessed the manifestation of the Heavenly Dao and the oaths of the three races, before his figure finally disappeared completely from the green rock.
The next moment, they were safely back inside the Wuzhuang Temple, under the evergreen Four Symbols Banana Tree.
He sat down cross-legged, but instead of immediately going into seclusion for deep cultivation, he slowly closed his eyes, calmed his mind completely, and began to carefully comprehend the fundamental changes that the "manifestation of the Heavenly Dao" brought to the prehistoric world.
The most direct feeling is that the aura of laws permeating the world is completely different.
The laws of the past were like untamed, chaotic currents, vast and free, containing infinite possibilities, yet also elusive.
The laws of Heaven today are like a giant, meticulously calculated, crisscrossing net, cold, orderly, and clearly structured.
The operation of the Five Elements, the alternation of Yin and Yang, and the flow of time and space all follow more fixed and clearer rules, with less chaotic "activity" and more orderly "rigidity".
For practitioners, the path to enlightenment seems to become more "traceable," but the difficulty of breaking free from the rules and seeking transcendence undoubtedly increases.
As the Way of Heaven manifests, the principle of cause and effect becomes clearer and more profound than ever before.
Every action is recorded by the Heavenly Way. Doing good deeds and accumulating virtue contributes to the order of Heaven and Earth, and thus brings merit upon oneself.
Those who commit evil deeds and disrupt the workings of Heaven will be burdened with karmic debts.
This invisible constraint forces all living beings, especially the powerful, to act more cautiously, making it difficult for them to act as freely as before.
The three clans swore an oath, which was recognized by the Heavenly Dao. Their fortunes became subtly connected with the Heavenly Dao, making them more "orthodox" and "stable".
However, Zhen Yuanzi could also sense that the fortune of his Wanshou Mountain lineage seemed to have become more solid and substantial after absorbing those living beings.
It forged a deeper bond with this land and with the new creatures that it now inhabits.
Under the influence of the Heavenly Way, the principles of destiny become more visible and more important.
While Zhen Yuanzi was quietly comprehending the changes in the Heavenly Dao at Wanshou Mountain, several other top beings in the prehistoric world were also dealing with this greatest upheaval since the creation of the world in their own ways.
