With each step he took, a portion of his cultivation dissipated.
Kassapa’s eyes were filled with hesitation and longing, unable to decide.
In the end, he simply sighed, glanced at the spiritual mountain, and turned to follow in the footsteps of Amitabha Buddha.
Before long, the vast spiritual mountain was nearly deserted, with only a few remaining.
The Western Domain’s Buddhist sect... was merely a shell.
In its place, a spark called ’Mahayana Buddhist Technique’ began to ignite and spread across the continent.
...
"Kid, you might become the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas in the future."
Wu Jiuling watched the departing Buddhist cultivators and exclaimed.
This is the terrifying nature of doctrinal strife.
No matter how powerful a force, once defeated, it collapses instantaneously.
Because... people’s hearts have dispersed.
"I’m not interested in being the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas, but the title of Daoist Ancestor, I might fight for it."
Su Changqing looked towards the vast Western Domain and spoke with a smile,
"Let’s start from this Western Domain!"
With those words, Su Changqing ascended high above the nine heavens, his body radiant with holy light, attracting the gaze of countless beings.
Ordinarily, such actions by Su Changqing would not have drawn any attention.
But now in the Western Domain, the name Su Changqing was known far and wide.
After all... he surpassed the Buddha!
It was precisely for this reason that any move by Su Changqing immediately drew countless eyes.
This saved Su Changqing a lot of time in preparing to preach and impart teachings.
"Chang Qing... what is he doing?"
Su Nan was stunned to see this.
When he came, Chang Qing hadn’t mentioned anything like this.
"Your son... is about to impart a new doctrine!"
Wu Jiuling sighed and said.
"A new doctrine?"
Su Nan was immediately alarmed, "Where did he get a new doctrine?"
"Daring to impart a new doctrine on the continent, won’t this make him a target for all powers?"
Wu Jiuling looked up at the young man in the sky and murmured, "At first, I thought it was impossible as well."
"But now, in this Western Domain, Chang Qing has... surpassed the Buddha."
Su Nan was stunned upon hearing this and turned to look at the frenzied expressions of the endless beings in the Western Domain, involuntarily murmuring,
"Did this kid plan to debate with Amitabha Buddha from the start?"
...
"A new doctrine?"
The Immortal Slayer listening nearby was also taken aback, "Has the Heavenly Dao introduced a new cultivation path?"
"How could it be possible."
The Absolute Immortal shook his head, "The Heavenly Dao itself is barely surviving, let alone having the mood to reform the cultivation system."
"So this new doctrine... he comprehended on his own?"
Hearing this, the Immortal Slayer was incredulous and looked up.
The law was not created by anyone, but rather it was nurtured spontaneously at the birth of the Heavenly Dao, providing the direction for the cultivation laws of all beings.
In other words, innovating a doctrine is something done by the Heavenly Dao.
For instance, as the newly born Heavenly Dao continuously grows, it will gradually reform the cultivation methods of all beings.
Thereby perfecting and elevating the cultivation system for the beings of its world.
Logically, since the birth of Cangyan Continent, the cultivation methods should have been updated long ago.
However, due to sealing demons, the Heavenly Dao expended too much power and has long been unable to nurture new doctrines.
In other words, the cultivation system of Cangyan Continent is actually outdated.
Because of the Heavenly Dao’s predicament, the continent’s methods of cultivation have stagnated for years.
But such matters, no matter how urgent all beings might be, they have no way to change it.
Yet today, a new doctrine... appeared without any forewarning!
"What kind of joke is this, a new doctrine... can be casually changed by mere mortals?"
The Immortal Slayer murmured in disbelief.
"Unless he is the Heavenly Dao, otherwise..."
The Absolute Immortal shook his head, but before he could finish, grand voices suddenly descended from the sky.
"The essence stored in the mystical cavity, Vital energy surges to the crimson palace, Pure jade burns away mortal impurities, The Abyss forges the iron bridge..."
"Yin and Yang cook Kan and Li, Dragon and Tiger meet in elixir heaven, Nine turns to clarity, True fire tempers the golden seed..."
The grand voices, filled with the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, resounded above the Western Domain.
The endless beings of the Western Domain were momentarily stunned upon hearing this.
They originally thought Su Changqing was going to discuss the Buddhist Technique, but unexpectedly, the teachings passed down were quite unique.
And when they listened for a while, their expressions suddenly changed.
"This is... a cultivation method, a new technique!"
Many beings were mentally invigorated and began to carefully listen to this distinctive new system.
At this moment, beings of power like Su Nan and Wu Jiuling were also listening.
What Su Changqing was speaking about now was only the initial stage of the new technique.
With their levels of cultivation, even if their practices were different, they could quickly comprehend the true essence of it.
"Refine essence to transform into qi, refine qi to transform into spirit, refine spirit to return to the void, refine the void to merge with the Dao..."
The more Su Nan listened, the more astonished he appeared, "This... this method is indeed so profound."
"Explore the limits of oneself, communicate with heaven and earth with the body, thereby cultivating the laws."
Wu Jiuling, upon hearing this, couldn’t hide the astonishment in his eyes, "That’s just the beginning, for cultivators on the continent, one must harbor a spiritual seed to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth."
"But this new technique... emphasizes refining the essence and energy within, returning to the origin, aligning with heaven and earth."
"Not to mention the subsequent advancements, just this foundational method surpasses the continental system by more than one level!"
Those present were all shocked to hear this—stronger than the continental cultivation system?
The crowd, initially indifferent, immediately focused their minds to listen carefully.
Gradually, the entire Western Region quieted down, with only the grand sounds of the transmission of teachings resonating.
Seeing this, Su Changqing showed a faint smile on his face.
He could clearly sense that someone had already begun cultivating this new method.
As the ancestor of this path, anyone practicing the new method would facilitate the completion of his laws.
The understanding of heaven and earth by all beings, the insights into cultivation, would feed back into him once more.
There were few currently cultivating, but if the entire continent devotedly studied this method, Su Changqing’s comprehension of the heavens, and improvement in power, would be terrifying.
Su Changqing was quite confident about this.
Because his new method is stronger than the continent’s!
Refine essence to transform into qi, refine qi to transform into spirit, refine spirit to return to the void, refine the void to merge with the Dao.
These four steps correspond to the continent’s cultivation of Divine Body, Divine Spirit, Divine Aspect, Divine Skill.
The four initial stages of cultivation in the new method are based on ’human,’ while the old method respects ’resources.’
To put it simply, if no spiritual seed ever emerged in this world again,
then the world’s cultivators would all halt at the Divine Body stage.
But the new method differs; its practice seeks out treasures within rather than relying on external resources.
Even if the world withered and cultivation became difficult, this method would not be cut off.
This merely highlights the vast disparity at the early stages of cultivation.
Yet, from refining the void to merging with the Dao, or the Divine Skill Realm onwards, the gap between the two methods widens.
The continental cultivation laws aim for the domain-establishing King, the rule-comprehending Saint, and the rule-refining Great Emperor.
The Divine Skill Realm includes only these three steps.
Even though it divides further into the accomplished King and the Great Saint, it remains rather crude.
But the new method is different!
The new method, starting from refining the void to merging with the Dao, touches on the Heaven and Earth Laws, with extremely detailed divisions.
Heavenly Immortal, True Immortal, Profound Immortal, Golden Immortal, and the legendary, transcending time and being eternally free, Daluo Golden Immortal!
Moreover, the most terrifying aspect of this method is that the Heavenly Immortal grasps the laws, the True Immortal refines the laws, and the Profound Immortal corresponds to the continent’s... Great Emperor!
In other words, this method possesses a cultivation realm above the Great Emperor, and not just one!
For the backward old methods of the Cangyan Continent, the new method has an irresistible allure for all beings!
After all, the Great Emperor is already the pinnacle of the continent.
The legendary ’Ancient’ only arises during special ’flourishing eras.’
Yet, with the new method, future ’Ancients’ of the continent shall be achieved through cultivation!
For this reason alone, Su Changqing can assert that the new method era will inevitably arrive!
"With the foundational methods explained, it’s time to discuss the level of ’Dao’."
As Su Changqing gazed at the brilliantly glowing Jade Disc of Creation, endless intricate patterns continually condensed upon it.
He spoke slowly, with the ultimate truths of the Heavenly Dao, causing lotuses to bloom in the void, the charm of the Dao eternal.
The beings of the Western Region below listened attentively, even Su Nan, Wu Jiuling, Xianxian, Juexian, and others wore solemn expressions, the shock in their eyes growing stronger.
Yet, just as Su Changqing’s teachings approached the level of ’Dao,’
Bang!
A roar, as if of the heavens, suddenly boomed from the firmament.
In just a moment, countless scarlet thunderstorms, carrying a terrifying destructive power, instantly filled the sky.
While expounding on the Dao, a fierce life-and-death crisis surged within Su Changqing, making his hair stand on end.
He slowly lifted his head, his eyes reflecting traces of anger.
The World-Destroying Heavenly Tribulation.
It has come again!
