Chapter 153 The Three Races Stand, the Great Dao Conceals and the Heavenly Dao Emerges
As the Qilin made its grand vow, the earth was benevolent and virtuous. On Qilin Cliff, auspicious energy soared into the sky, and five-colored clouds filled the heavens.
The Qilin, standing on auspicious clouds, reveals its majestic and benevolent form, radiating a reassuring earth element and a peaceful Taoist charm.
His gaze was kind yet firm, and his voice was deep and powerful, echoing across every inch of the primordial land: "I am the Primordial Qilin, inheriting the benevolent spirit of the earth, the ancestor of all beasts in the primordial world, and the master of the earth!"
Now that we perceive the will of Heaven, order must be established. We are willing to act as guardians of Heaven, to manage the vast land, stabilize the mountains and rivers, protect all living beings, and practice the virtue of carrying all things with magnanimity!
As long as the earth endures, the Qilin will live on! Heaven's will is all-seeing, and all living beings bear witness!
The sound of the Qilin is deep and peaceful, yet it contains an undeniable power.
On the vast and desolate land, countless beasts sensed the danger and, whether fierce or docile, all bowed their bodies toward the direction of Qilin Cliff, showing reverence and submission.
The golden phantom of the Qilin clan, formed from their fortune, stood on auspicious clouds, radiating an even more stable and peaceful aura.
The three emperors represent the scaled creatures, birds, and beasts, respectively, encompassing the land, sea, and air, and almost all the mainstream creature races in the primordial world.
Their oath was not merely a declaration of dominion, but also an active alignment with the newly emerging "Heavenly Way" and a commitment to maintaining the basic order and balance of the primordial world.
This grand oath, like three keys, was simultaneously inserted into the pivot of the primordial authority!
"Boom—!!!"
The moment the three emperors swore their oaths, the entire primordial world trembled violently!
A will far more vast, majestic, and icy than that of Zhen Yuanzi during his sermons, like a sleeping behemoth fully awakened, descended with a thunderous roar from the infinitely high and distant depths of the void!
This is the complete will of Heaven! It is no longer vague or obscure, but clearly manifested in the spiritual perception of every living being who has reached a certain level of cultivation!
Heaven has a way of responding!
The three emperors, acting on behalf of Heaven, ruled over land, sea, and air, restoring order to the primordial world and maintaining its fundamental balance—a grand ambition perfectly aligned with the workings of Heaven.
The fundamental need for maintaining stability and evolving all living beings!
In an instant, the magnificent phenomena in the heavens far surpassed those during Zhen Yuanzi's sermon!
Boundless Xuanhuang merit energy surged forth from the void like three vast golden rivers! One flowed into the East Sea, enveloping the Ancestral Dragon; one sprinkled across the Southern Wilderness, bathing the Primordial Phoenix; and one descended to Qilin Cliff, covering the Primordial Qilin!
The golden light of this merit was so rich and pure that it almost turned into a tangible liquid! The heavenly reward and the blessing of fortune contained within it silenced the entire primordial world!
The Ancestral Dragon bathed in the Golden River of Merit, its massive body greedily absorbing this supreme gift from every scale.
He had already reached the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Driven by the immense merit and the great fortune that followed, he broke through the barriers with unstoppable momentum, soaring all the way up and directly surpassing the peak of the mid-stage, boldly stepping into the late-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!
The dragon's might grew even stronger, as if it had truly become the embodiment of the primordial water element.
Yuan Feng danced gracefully in the Golden River of Merit, each feather flowing with sacred golden light. The Nirvana Fire and the golden light of merit merged, undergoing a mysterious transformation.
Her aura also rose steadily, and the barrier of the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal was as good as nothing in the face of the Heavenly Dao's merits, and she broke through smoothly!
The oppressive aura emanating from him made it seem as if the sky was under his control.
The Qilin, having received merit, possesses a dignified and solemn countenance on its kind face.
The combination of the essence of the Earth element and the golden light of merit made his aura more condensed and profound, as if he were completely connected with the entire primordial land.
His cultivation level also surged, and he steadily entered the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm!
It exudes an aura of benevolence, yet carries with it the inviolable majesty of the Way of Heaven.
The three clan leaders, through the merit of their oaths, gained the approval of the Heavenly Dao and stepped into the late stage of Quasi-Saint (Primordial Golden Immortal) in one fell swoop! They became the most powerful beings in the Primordial World at this moment!
The fortunes of the three races also surged and expanded, reaching an unprecedented peak, illuminating the primordial world and overshadowing all other races. However, at the same moment when this merit descended and the momentum of the three races reached its zenith, a more profound and fundamental change occurred at the level of the laws of the primordial world.
Those "Great Dao" laws that have existed since the beginning of time, containing chaotic mysteries, and are relatively free and obscure.
Like the receding tide, it quickly became blurred and disappeared, eventually completely concealing its manifestation and hiding in the deepest part of the primordial world, becoming the foundation that supports the world, but no longer directly interfering with the operation of the present world.
Instead, there is the cold, orderly, and cause-and-effect-based "Way of Heaven" law, which emphasizes cause and effect, merit and karma.
With unprecedented clarity, it manifested itself completely, like an invisible and intangible yet omnipresent giant net, enveloping the entire primordial world and beginning to take over the operation of all rules.
The Great Dao retreats, and the Heavenly Dao manifests!
A brand new era—the Heavenly Dao Era—has officially begun!
Zhen Yuanzi, standing atop the green cliff, calmly "listened" to the three emperor oaths that resounded throughout the primordial world.
They also clearly sensed the arrival of the vast and boundless Heavenly Dao merits that followed, as well as the immense aura of the three clan leaders' cultivation levels soaring by taking this opportunity.
All of this was not unexpected.
He had long ago foreseen this inevitable turning point from the ever-accumulating calamity in the primordial world and the raging fortune of the three races.
"The Great Dao recedes, the Heavenly Dao manifests, order will be established, and calamity will follow."
He was perfectly clear-headed and not greatly shocked, only calmly witnessing the wheels of history rolling forward.
However, looking down at the thousands of listeners below, who were even more anxious and confused about the future because of the manifestation of the Heavenly Way and the arrival of merit, the compassion and responsibility that arose in his heart from preaching resurfaced once again.
When the Way of Heaven manifests, the rules will become more stringent, and cause and effect will become clearer.
For these low-level, helpless, and isolated cultivators, the future living conditions will likely be even more difficult.
How long this temporary sanctuary of Buzhou Mountain can maintain its peace after the three races establish their "legitimacy" and the order of Heaven is established is truly unknown.
A thought quickly took shape and became firm in his mind. Since the lineage had already been passed down and the cause and effect had been established, why not give them another opportunity to accumulate some external foundation for his Wanshou Mountain lineage?
He did not act immediately, but remained seated on the green rock, waiting for the upheaval of heaven and earth and the boiling of the fortunes of the three races caused by the descent of the Heavenly Dao's merits to subside slightly.
As the creatures below recovered slightly from their initial shock, their faces still bore expressions of worry about the future.
He slowly opened his mouth, his voice calm yet carrying a calming power, clearly reaching the ears of every living being once again: "The Way of Heaven has been revealed, order is being reborn, and the primordial world will change."
Mount Buzhou is a good place, but it is not a place of lasting peace. My sacred mountain, Mount Wanshou, still has enough space to accommodate living beings.
If you wish, you may move with me to the area near Longevity Mountain. I can provide you with a safe haven, so that you may be spared from the ravages of war and cultivate in peace.
However, once you enter my territory, you must abide by my rules, refrain from fighting without cause, diligently cultivate yourself, and not waste this opportunity.
