My construction materials are weird

From this perspective, it seems we should also thank this individual for appearing.

Without it, there would be no Dao Soldier Pool, no formation of the Dao Soldier system.

"Lady White Bone, Lord Shi Meng, Lord Void, Lord Purgatory, Lord Qing Yun have arrived!"

At this moment, even Yan Lai, who was welcoming guests, showed slight excitement in his tone.

He excitedly shouted out a string of names.

"Whoa!"

Immediately, everyone stood up to welcome them. Although these were not strictly speaking Daoist friends or seniors,

these treasures were of great help to cultivators.

Who hasn't improved their will through Lady White Bone's tempering?

Who hasn't benefited from Lord Shi Meng's dream realm protection and transmission, allowing them to develop?

Who hasn't been protected by Lord Void, saving their lives many times?

Who hasn't been connected to vast regions through Lord Qing Yun Boat's teleportation?

Who hasn't benefited from Purgatory... Never mind, it may not be used much now, but surely we'll need Lord Purgatory's help in the future.

Let's just thank them first.

"We respectfully welcome the arrival of all Lords!"

The voices were perfectly synchronized.

"Fellow Daoists, let us together respectfully welcome the arrival of Lord Tongtian Jianmu, Lord Guixu Great Millstone, and Lord Heaven and Earth Furnace!"

Amidst the solemn atmosphere, even Yan Lai appeared extremely dignified.

Trembling and excited, he spoke the three names. These three, needless to say,

were the foundation upon which the cultivators' current existence was built, the cornerstone of the cultivation world's stability.

They were indispensable presences in every cultivator's dantian.

"Whoa!"

The arrival of these three was not like the Void Blade's, merely a descent of will.

But a descent of the true body condensed.

Instantly, the entire Inner World was filled with the Dao essence of the three, more like a gift.

The cultivators present didn't even have time to offer respectful greetings, all falling into enlightenment or comprehension amidst the permeating Dao essence.

The entire scene fell silent.

As the three ultimate Third Order artifacts, when they unreservedly displayed the profundity of their Dao essence, the cultivators present seemed to receive a precious enlightenment.

Moreover, the three were aggregates of cultivators. Any cultivator's mysteries and comprehensions, the three artifacts possessed, and they could even display mysteries that cultivators could not through a higher level.

This gift-like enlightenment could only be described as immense.

The greatest gainers were those with high cultivation levels. The deeper the cultivation, the more they comprehended.

For example, the entry-level cultivators below the Transcendent realm present. What they gained seemed like a lot to them, but compared to others, their gains were insignificant.

It only allowed them to comprehend one or two more inscriptions, essentially smoothing the path for them to enter the Transcendent realm.

For those at the entry-level, those who hadn't fully comprehended the First Order Visualization Chart almost reached a state of perfection at this instant.

Those who had reached perfection and needed to comprehend mysteries, those who were previously directionless and confused, directly found their direction and path this time.

And those who had already comprehended a trace of mystery gained even more.

The three artifacts in their eyes were just the three artifacts in their eyes.

The three artifacts that anyone saw were different. Cultivators with the mystery of fire saw a sun emitting scorching light, permeated with the mystery of fire.

Cultivators with the mystery of water saw a great river emanating the source of water flow.

Those with the mystery of thunder saw the surging and fluctuations of the divine thunder of heaven and earth.

In short, the three artifacts in the eyes of each cultivator were different, all extensions based on their own comprehension.

This gift was equivalent to at least half a year's worth of comprehension for them, an exaggeratedly efficient gain.

Of course, it's not to say that there would be such an effect every time.

This was the first time that the three artifacts had unreservedly revealed their innate Dao essence, directly presenting it as a gift.

The effect of the first time was naturally the greatest.

Moreover, the cultivators had also accumulated a foundation for a long time to receive it.

If one didn't have any foundation or accumulation, they would only find it so dazzling and painful to the eyes.

The two were complementary expressions.

Conversely, the cultivators were greatly stimulated by the enlightenment, and the insights they generated returned to the three artifacts, becoming the foundation and accumulation of the three artifacts.

It could even be said that the gains of the three artifacts were greater than those of the cultivators.

What the three of them displayed was only the profoundness brought about by their own high level.

Not the kind of broadening and extending comprehension of the cultivators.

The extension and broadening of the cultivators was the true comprehension.

The three artifacts also obtained huge gains.

After a while...

"We thank the three Lords for their gifts..."

The welcoming and thanking happened together. The cultivators were all solemn, still immersed in the comprehension just now.

The three artifact treasures fluctuated for a while, then floated in the sky, illuminating the entire Inner World.

Existing, yet also remaining low-key.

If it weren't for the traction of the source of the cultivators' visualization objects, ordinary people would ignore the proactively dormant three artifact treasures.

Everyone hurriedly collected their minds, sorting out their comprehension and gains from just now.

The arrival of the three Lords meant that the Profound Teacher was also about to arrive.

They needed to sort out their gains from just now as soon as possible. Once the Profound Teacher arrived, there would be no time.

Perhaps Xuan Huang knew the current situation, so he didn't appear immediately, but gave the disciples time to sort out and precipitate their gains.

He did not appear immediately.

About half an hour later, with the traction of the source of the law, Xuan Huang appeared before everyone.

No one noticed how he appeared. It was as if the Profound Teacher had been sitting there for a long time, without saying a word.

It was as if the Profound Teacher didn't want everyone to notice him, so no one noticed him.

And when the Profound Teacher wanted everyone to notice, the Profound Teacher was already there.

"We disciples kowtow to the Profound Teacher!"

In large formal occasions, cultivators could perform great salutations. Generally, it was not necessary.

But in such large occasions, it was permissible.

Xuan Huang did not stop them.

He allowed them to perform the great salutation until the ceremony was completed.

"Rise!"

The greatest sound is silent, containing majesty yet gentleness, the unquestionable tone conveying in everyone's heart.

In fact, Xuan Huang received two copies.

One was what the cultivators were doing, and the other was the will transmitted by the treasures.

"The myriad realms are merging, the bizarre is reviving, living beings in the human world are plunged into misery, all beings are reduced to ants... Since I preached the Dao at Qingyun Mountain for a year, you have cultivated diligently, and true cultivation has become a force to be reckoned with... However, the merging of the myriad realms continues, and the ten-year node is approaching. Extraterritorial beings will invade, the bizarre outbreak will be even more severe than in the past, and there will be natural disasters..."

"The purpose of summoning you this time is to deal with the upcoming disasters... At the beginning of preaching the Dao, I made a vow to protect all living beings with the methods I teach... Cultivating and seeking the Dao, the Dao has always existed. The key lies in cultivation and seeking. Cultivation is cultivating the body, cultivating the mind, and cultivating the nature. This is internal cultivation. External cultivation is from the inside out, upholding the original intention to correct the world, and cultivating oneself to be true."

"Merely chanting scriptures in silence is not my path to true cultivation. Verifying one's initial aspiration, sheltering living beings, walking between heaven and earth, seeking the true self amidst confusion and chaos – this is the beginning of true cultivation…"

Xuan Huang spoke calmly and faintly, recounting the achievements since he began preaching, both encouraging and gratified.

After a brief summary, he explained the main reason for gathering everyone this time.

To protect all living beings.

"We respectfully obey the decree of Teacher Xuan, never forgetting our initial aspiration, and protect all living beings."

The deafening sound was not only a verbal pledge but also a vow to follow their initial aspiration.

Everyone knew the cost of doing so.

It meant sacrifice and gain.

Sacrifice is easy to understand. In such a chaotic world, demons and monsters would erupt, external forces would invade, natural disasters would occur, and the outbreak of the strange would be even worse.

These are the obvious crises.

But the internal crises cannot be ignored either. The world is not black and white, and no one can guarantee that the upheaval will not change some living beings.

For example, the heretical cults among the spirit masters. Wouldn't they take advantage of this turmoil?

Definitely. Turmoil is the best era for them.

Stability, on the other hand, is of no benefit to them.

"Very good!"

Xuan Huang could feel their sincerity. This was a feeling that came from the source of the law and could not be faked.

Without exception, every word, every hair, every thought, every appearance was seen!

"I will personally resolve the invasion of external beings. As for the problem of the outbreak of the strange, taking Haidai as an example, because your cultivators' fortune has taken shape, the strange are difficult to become a disaster. In the areas you control, there will hardly be a major outbreak of the strange. What you need to prevent is the strange in other provinces outside of Haidai. This requires you to go out. This is a crisis, but also an opportunity, a chance to spread the law throughout the world."

Xuan Huang was not just giving pressure, but also fully explaining the gains and losses.

They could not participate in the invasion of external beings, as the battle situation was too high-end.

Besides, this was the least of Xuan Huang's worries. Not to mention that Purgatory had already controlled the switch.

Even if they didn't control the switch, they could come. But they would be swallowed by Purgatory upon arrival.

They couldn't escape the eighteenth level of Purgatory's space.

Xuan Huang had this confidence because as long as the fourth order didn't appear, Xuan Huang feared nothing.

Even…

Even if the fourth order appeared, it would be good.

If it appeared within Purgatory, Xuan Huang was confident that he could send the newly arrived fourth order to the Guixu small world.

If he could really hook such a big fish, that would be the best.

These were Xuan Huang's confidence. He was not afraid of external beings.

The Holy Land is, after all, the Holy Land. It is not as simple as it looks.

The Holy Land is the Holy Land, and it is also a disaster for external beings.

Don't put the cart before the horse. The strength of the Holy Land is the real strength, but it is only showing a small part of it.

Xuan Huang also mentioned the problem of the outbreak of the strange.

Xuan Huang had been preparing for this problem for a long time, and the cultivators had also been preparing for a very, very long time.

The greatest enemy of true cultivation has always been the strange. There is an unwritten rule in the true cultivation world.

Only those who can directly confront the strange of the same rank are called true cultivators. Their comparison object has always been pure strange.

Like the previous demons, they couldn't easily deal with them before, but slowly, fighting three at once was not a problem at all.

The strange are the object of comparison.

They have been preparing for a long time to be on par with, or even stronger than, the strange.

The most methods in the current true cultivation world are also for dealing with the strange.

The strange are a well-known treasure, and this alone shows who is in the initiative.

"The key is to go out, to the more distant outer regions."

Xuan Huang emphasized and repeated this sentence.

This is the key.

The strange in Haidai cannot become a threat. Their natural aura is incompatible, and the outbreak of the strange will not happen here because it cannot break the protection of the fortune gathered by true cultivators.

So Haidai is safe.

The surrounding connected provinces that have been developed are also like this, and they are not afraid of a major outbreak of the strange.

The provinces and cities that have not been controlled are the key.

Since they have the ability to protect more living beings, why not do it?

Sacrifice is always necessary.

This is the courage to dare to call for a new era.

It is the initial aspiration to save all living beings with a single thought.

"We obey!"

Another straightforward answer.

The cultivators felt that it was just another opening up of the wilderness.

They had experienced it before, and it was that time, under the instruction of Teacher Xuan, that they had the current situation.

After experiencing the test of blood and fire, they looked back and found that they had gained more.

"Very good. In addition to this, the meteorite rain will be left to the faith cultivators. Where is Wei Qiancheng?"

"Most high and supreme Dao Lord, your believer Wei Qiancheng is here."

Wei Qiancheng immediately stood up and came forward, respectfully prostrating himself on the ground.

A very different answer, and the true cultivators glanced sideways.

"The natural disaster of meteorite rain will be left to you. This is the simplest test, and also the easiest situation to deal with in this crisis. Can you faith cultivators do it?"

Xuan Huang said.

It is indeed the easiest.

Just a natural disaster, and still a natural disaster.

Especially with the time wandering of the God Kingdom Skynet, it is very easy to do this.

Such a simple task was given to them, and the cultivators should still do the more dangerous and difficult ones.

Of course, the simplest here is only referring to the area under Xuan Huang's protection.

Other places are not included.

Xuan Huang can't help with other places either. Although protecting living beings is the initial aspiration, it also depends on whether it can be done.

There is no way to do what cannot be done.

"Most high and supreme Dao Lord, the believers can do it."

There was no heroic declaration, only the most sincere promise.

This was the most real thing, and Xuan Huang, as their God and Dao Lord, could feel it.

"Permitted, take your seat!"

"Yes!"

Wei Qiancheng received Xuan Huang's instruction and took his seat.

"In addition…"

Xuan Huang said something shocking: "Purgatory officially opens its second function, which can accommodate the souls of believers and true cultivators who have not yet shattered and returned to heaven and earth. As long as the soul is not completely scattered, the soul can enter Purgatory and be reborn!"

The cultivators: …

If it weren't for Xuan Huang's words, which naturally have the effect of soothing emotions and stabilizing the mind.

If this sentence had been said by someone else, they would have exploded.

Fortunately, it was said by Xuan Huang, and it was also the scene under Xuan Huang's pressure.

Although the cultivators were silent, their bodies trembled a little involuntarily.

"The integral token is the bridge. If you experience a fierce battle and there is no hope of survival, you can desperately try to escape into the integral token, and the soul will be preserved and sent to Purgatory… Remember, remember, once you do this, there will be no turning back. You will live as another kind of soul being, and it will be difficult for the wandering spirits to enter the Holy Land, and the path to the Dao will be渺茫!"

Xuan Huang spoke of the flaws in the silence of the crowd.

People are ultimately a synthesis of the metaphysical and the physical.

The escape of the soul is the abandonment of the physical body, which is equal to incompleteness.

Even if there is a Dao method to repair it, it will still be incomplete after all.

The incompleteness of the body can be compensated for, but the incompleteness of the Dao heart cannot be compensated for.

Unless you are reborn and start from scratch, but then it will not be the former self.
