Chapter 1187 Dao Banquet: Key Speakers
The preacher did an excellent job; his sermon was mainly about the Soul, as this was their expertise. The young Divine Race, named Red Ocean, took a page out of Jin Ye\'s book and discussed the balance between the Essence, Spirit, and Qi - but the main focus is the Spirit instead. This sermon lasted 2100 years.
The rest of the Soul Area sermons involved four main topics: Soul, incense, Divine Law, and Divine Will. Liang Shixian convinced his people to talk about the Insurgent Technique of condensing Divine Laws and Wills in the hope of further increasing the strength of this Divine Path. Wang Wei\'s Soul Dao benefited immensely from all these sermons about the soul and spirit.
It did not take long for the Soul Area\'s turn to finish. They had their lows and highs, including their unique take on professions like Alchemy that involved using faith in the process. Then, it was finally Liang Shixian\'s turn to speak.
He took a moment to compose himself. One of his main goals was to expand the God Path and make it as good as the Emperor Path. However, as soon as he became the first God King, reality hit him, and he realized this goal was impossible. So, he focused on spreading his path and, at least, making it as good as the Dao Path.
Sadly, people would rather become Dao Ancestors than God Kings. Many people would even walk the lesser paths because of how young his path was and the restraint of incense. The progress would have been even worse if not for his decision to ally with the Soul Race across the Endless Void due to their affinity to this path.
Due to the current situation, Liang Shizian has been debating whether he should ascend to pursue the higher realms of this path or stay in the lower dimension to continue growing. And so far, he\'s leaning on staying.
\'So far, this event has been going well regarding showing the strength of our path. Let\'s end things with a bang - just like the Immortal Path.\'
Liang Shixian preached. As the founder of this path, he had the most profound sermons, continuing for as long as 2800 years. However, they were not as impactful as the Turtle King\'s. Liang Shixian sighed in regret; he did his best, but it was not enough.
The next area was the Luck Area for the Heavenly Kings, and they were chosen because of their small numbers. Wang Wei chose Dong Lifen as the first speaker instead of the last. Despite being a mortal, she preached for over 2500 years, showing the world why her Dao Tree was almost completely purple-gold.
The Luck Area\'s sermons could be considered an interim highlight of this event since they discussed the Grand Dao Source and their understanding of Luck. The last preacher lasted over 2700 years before everyone moved on to the next area - the Primarchs.
Wang Wei focused on this part since he still plans to understand the difference between Heavenly, Primordial, and Dao Laws (Grand Dao Source). He had even laid out the preliminary foundation for this process by recording the difference between the laws of all the worlds and communities in the lower dimension for study.
The Heaven Law was unique and a fresh experience for the people present. However, the highlight of this section\'s sermon was their deep connection with Heaven and Earth. The Primarch Path was something Innate Creatures created, which can be described as the Bloodline Immortality Path. Innate Demon Gods loved nature and considered Heaven and Earth their mother, hence their closeness or affinity.
Old families that survived the Null Era dominated this section, and the Myriad Emperor World\'s Ancient Clan was the main lead but not the only one. The demon race also showed a great presence in this section as well, but they were still outdone by these clans. The banquet was about to reach its first peak with the beginning of the Dao Area.
As he promised, Sage Duan Ru started this section. By now, he was only a soul as his body had already collapsed, but a holy release from his body, preventing anyone from underestimating him.
Sage Duan Ru was known for his calligraphy, but his sermons contained various ideas and subjects. He first started with the [Way of Governance], teaching how to rule and govern a government or any faction properly. He followed that with philosophy, which resembles a form of spiritual practice, before transitioning into things like painting, music, and, finally, calligraphy. His sermon did not seem disorganized because of these different ideas or subjects; instead, they fit perfectly together as if they were one topic.
Duan Ru\'s sermon lasted exactly 2000 years, proving to the world he was worthy to be here and worth starting the Dao Area.
\'Interesting,\' Wang Wei thought as he looked at the Dao Rhymes Duan Ru condensed. \'They are more active than others and even have a better effect on boosting people\'s comprehension. It seems Heaven and Earth acknowledge his status as a [Mortal Sage].\'
The sermon continued, and the Dao Area - which had plenty of time to prepare - brought their best: their A-games, to say. The shortest sermon lasted 333 years, and there were plenty of people in the 1000s and 2000\'s year range. After the first 1000 Dao Ancestors, it was the swordsman\'s turn, and Wang Wei chose his father as the first speaker.
His record was the same as Dong Lifen - over 2500 years - beating her by 12 years. The swordsmen were more than satisfied since they could listen to a direct sermon from the man who "pioneered" the Ultimate Sword Path. Even the Extreme Sword Path individuals showed their respect. Although they scoffed at the part about the 12th realm of Swordsmanship, they still listened so they could create counter-measures to these heretical bastards.
The banquet continued, and many people in that area shone brightly. The Insurgents of the Dao Opening Sect had no one who lasted less than 2300 years, and people like Origin One, Sword One, and Desolate One reached the 2900 mark - albeit the beginning.
\'By all merit, this is the best session so far,\' Wang Wei thought, feeling the immense Dao Rhymes condensing in the sect, baptizing the environment and the people. It was so dense that some spilled into the Myriad Emperor World, and this was not even the main event yet.
\'If this is the result of one banquet, I cannot fathom how these lineages in the upper dimension are,\' Wang Wei thought. This banquet is monumental for the lower dimension but not the upper dimension. On the contrary, they should be more grandiose since some of these factions will have multiple Paragons preaching.
\'Yet, with all these advantages, cultivation still takes such a long time,\' Wang Wei sighed before focusing on the task at hand. \'Now, how to start the Emperor Area?\' He looked at all the people present before his eyes landed on the monk, Feng Heng.
Wang Wei noticed that the latter had a very peaceful and reassuring aura. \'It seems after succeeding in reviving Buddhism, the flaw in his Dao Heart was fixed, and his state of mind reached a higher level.\'
"You\'re up first."
"Thank you, benefactor, for this honor," Feng Heng nodded, before readjusting himself:
"What is the limit of the mind? Does it have a limit? The human mind, or its extension - imagination - has no boundaries or limits. It can create anything it pleases, it can..."
Feng Heng\'s sermon was natural and effortless; the words came out of his mouth as if they were the fundamental truths of Heaven and Earth. Furthermore, everyone suddenly felt as if the effect of the Enlightened Tea strengthened for this particular sermon.
No one had any trouble following his mind, and no one wasted this opportunity by focusing on improving their sermons. By now, if they were not ready, there was no hope; the Emperor Area had a major advantage by being the last section to go, meaning there was no excuse for a poor sermon.
Feng Heng focused on the Mind-not the soul (except for their connection)-before transitioning into the Five Elements and Yin-Yang Dao. He did not speak much on Buddhism to ensure the universality of his sermon. As he uttered his last words, 3000 years had passed. The Dao Rhymes resonated at an even higher intensity, giving the people an even better boost for the next 300 years they spent digesting.
"Why is it so short?" That was everyone\'s main consensus once they opened their eyes. This was the longest sermon, but it felt so short to them. People looked at Feng Heng with respect; they finally understood why Buddhism had such a major comeback despite its recent comeback.
