I'm In Heaven, I Just Want To Work Overtime

Chapter 68: Long Eyebrows

To leave a mark on the Heavenly Stele, one must first leave a message.

In simple terms, it means writing down your understanding of the essence of teaching and then the Heavenly Stele will give it a score.

If it meets the standard, your name can be engraved on the Heavenly Stele. If it doesn't meet the standard, naturally you cannot leave a mark.

For example, under the name of Master Xuan Du, it is written: "Observe the mind within, where there is no mind; observe the form without, where there is no form; observe the objects from afar, where there are no objects; when all three are absent, only emptiness is seen."

Not only does this contain the Great Dao of Taiqing, but it also contains the mysteries of severing the three corpses.

Below Tai Bai Jin Xing (Venus), it is written: "The one who does nothing does not act in vain, does not strive forcefully, follows the timing of heaven, follows the nature of the earth, acts according to the hearts of people, and follows the flow of circumstances."

No wonder Tai Bai Golden Immortal, despite being known as the Western Killing Star, does not possess a killing aura. He has truly comprehended the meaning of non-action.

Xia Yi pondered for a long time and hesitated to pick up the pen.

It's not that he couldn't think of what to write, but rather there were too many things he could write.

Just the phrase "The highest virtue is like water" would be enough to leave a mark on the Heavenly Stele!

And there are phrases like "The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao," "The name that can be named is not the eternal name," "The profoundness within the profound, the gateway to all wonders," "Attain utmost emptiness, hold steadfast tranquility," "The valley spirit never dies, it is called the mysterious female"...

These words contain the ultimate principles of the Heavenly Dao. He couldn't imagine what kind of phenomenon would occur if he were to write these words.

After all, at this time, Laozi (Lao Tzu) had not yet left the Han Gu Pass and left behind the "Dao De Jing."

"Forget it, I'll just write that sentence!"

After pondering for a moment, Xia Yi wrote: "The one who does not contend, no one in the world can contend with!"

This sentence doesn't contain any profound principles of the Heavenly Dao, nor any cultivation mysteries. Even if the current Taiqing Saint already has a draft of the "Dao De Jing," it wouldn't matter.

At most, their ideas would be similar.

Suddenly, the stone stele trembled, with countless rays of light and auspicious signs. A green and sparkling immortal light flew over like a ribbon.

Xia Yi felt that his Primordial Spirit had undergone great tempering, and his foundation had become even more solid.

This is the Taiqing Immortal Qi left by the Saint, capable of greatly tempering the spirit and flesh of immortals, enhancing their aptitude and foundation.

Xia Yi also noticed that his name had been engraved on the stone stele, not too high or too low, but right in the center.

At this moment, the Taiqing Heaven.

Many immortals felt something in their hearts.

A chubby Daoist with bare feet lay on a large bluestone, using a Daoist scripture as a pillow, snoring loudly in deep sleep.

Suddenly, the snoring stopped, and after a few breaths, it started again.

A middle-aged Daoist with a moon-white Eight Trigrams Daoist robe, cloud-stepping shoes, and a long sword on his back showed a surprised expression.

Tai Bai Jin Xing was playing chess under the stone pavilion with another Daoist. Suddenly, he felt something and muttered, "Could it be such a coincidence?"

In the Douluo Palace, the unyielding Saint sat cross-legged on a cloud bed, his eyes slightly closed, only his long beard fluttered slightly.

On the other hand, Master Xuan Du below was somewhat delighted.

It had been over a hundred years since new blood joined the teaching. As the representative of the teaching, he naturally had to consider the development of the teaching.

After achieving the Celestial Immortal realm, Xia Yi opened his eyes, and a flash of brilliance passed by.

His cultivation had obviously improved.

Afterward, he wandered around.

In the Taiqing Heaven, the Innate Qi was abundant, which was extremely beneficial for cultivation.

Many immortals took the opportunity of the Saint's sermon to come here to temper their Nascent Souls.

Most of the immortals here came from the ten major immortal continents, the thirty-six immortal islands, and the seventy-two blessed lands of the Heavenly World. Some also came from the Dongsheng Divine Continent of the Earth Immortal realm.

Among them were some powerful ancient immortals.

Xia Yi saw a Daoist with extremely long eyebrows, carrying an ancient sword on his back, practicing Qi Refining. With each breath, a sword pellet the size of a dragon's eye would be spit out from his mouth, and countless extremely subtle sword qi, like spider silk, densely covered a space of ten zhang around him.

There were also a few Daoists, men wearing feathered robes and star crowns, and women wearing colorful robes, seemingly dressed in ancient attire.

"Dong..."

The sound of a bell rang out, melodious and pleasant, purifying the soul.

This is the omen of Saint's sermon.

Hundreds of rays of light flew from all directions, gathering beneath a high mountain.

On the mountaintop, there was a magnificent golden palace emitting a dazzling radiance, ancient and unique, with a faint scent of medicinal herbs.

At this moment, the Venus, Tai Bai, flew over and whispered, "Did you leave your name on the Immortal Stele of the People's Teaching?"

"Thanks to Saint's grace, I was fortunate enough to leave my name!" Xia Yi nodded.

"The unpredictability of fate. Who could have imagined that you were a demonic cultivator just a dozen years ago?" Tai Bai sighed.

The immortals then sat in the palace, and Laozi ascended the platform to expound on the principles of the creation and operation of the universe, enlightening the hearts of the listeners like the reflection of stars and moon, making the distinction between purity and turbidity clear for thousands of miles.

The people present were enthralled by his words.

Some immortals listened and couldn't help but smile, as the saying goes, "To hear the Dao in the morning is to be able to die in the evening."

Some furrowed their brows, seeming to have gained some understanding.

Some listened with confusion, feeling that the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao were obscure and difficult to comprehend, only understanding a small part.

Indeed, the aptitude of the immortals varied.

Xia Yi's Primordial Spirit possessed a golden light of merit, and he was able to understand quite a bit.

Of course, this was still Saint's dojo, and he had only manifested a small portion of his merit, with the rest stored in the employee storage room.

After a long time, the Golden Crow gradually set in the west, and the Jade Rabbit rose in the east, but the immortals were completely unaware, completely absorbed in their intoxicated state.

When the next day arrived and the sky began to brighten, Saint suddenly stopped speaking.

"Teacher, why did you stop?" Xuan Du, the Great Master, asked.

Laozi smiled and said, "There are guests, go and greet them."

Xuan Du quickly left the Douluo Palace and saw a ray of light rushing towards him from a distance, revealing a Daoist figure, tall and ancient, dressed in Daoist robes.

"So it's Senior Brother Guang Cheng Zi. What brings you to the Great Red Heaven?" Xuan Du bowed.

Guang Cheng Zi hurriedly returned the gesture and said, "I have come on the orders of our Master to deliver the Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler and other treasures."

"The Nine Heavens Primordial Yang Ruler isn't the Spirit Treasure of acquired merit that you refined during the time of the Yellow Emperor?" Xuan Du was somewhat surprised.

"This is not something that disciples can fathom!"

Guang Cheng Zi then took out a pile of Spirit Treasures, and instantly, a colorful radiance burst forth, flowing with brilliant lights and auspicious qi.

"Senior Brother, our Master has another instruction. I must take my leave!" Guang Cheng Zi cupped his hands and then left on a rainbow.

"These Spirit Treasures seem to be refined by Senior Uncle Yuan Shi. I wonder what our Master wants with these Spirit Treasures?" Among the Three Pure Ones, Tai Qing excelled in alchemy, Yu Qing excelled in artifact refining, and Shang Qing excelled in array formation.

Xuan Du shook his head and turned back to the Douluo Palace.

Laozi spoke up, "Where is Chang Mei?"

A long-browed sword immortal hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Disciple is here!"

"Are you willing to become my registered disciple?" Laozi asked.

"I am willing!"

Chang Mei, the Daoist with long eyebrows, was overjoyed and knelt down, paying his respects, "Greetings, Master!"

"Good!"

Laozi nodded and continued, "The demons and monsters in the Four Continents of the Earth Immortal Realm are causing chaos, and the people are suffering. You shall go to the Mortal Realm and establish the Sword Cultivation lineage, pass down my Tai Qing Sword Dao, subdue demons and eliminate evil, and promote the teachings of the People's Teaching!"
