Chapter 50

Time slowly passed, and the Three Realms, on the whole, remained in a state of tranquility. The living beings within the Three Realms were gradually recovering, and the Great Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Court was slowly perfecting the structure of the Heavenly Court, aiming to control the Three Realms!

The Three Realms also underwent subtle changes. The innate spiritual energy that permeated the heavens and earth slowly transformed into acquired spiritual energy, and innate spiritual energy had become a rare sight on the vast primordial earth!

Only in some grotto-heavens and blessed lands did the innate spiritual energy remain unchanged!

This was because these grotto-heavens and blessed lands were often suppressed by cultivators or treasures, ensuring that the innate spiritual veins within them would not dissipate, allowing them to be self-sufficient and absorb innate spiritual energy!

Some innate spiritual veins even grew stronger!

As a result, disciples of the截Teaching and the阐Teaching began to leave their mountains in search of grotto-heavens and blessed lands to establish their own Daoist retreats, which sometimes led to conflicts!

The contradictions between the two teachings grew increasingly severe!

However, there were few people like Ding Yue who owned several Daoist retreats. Whether it was Potala Island, Wuyi Mountain, or Penglai Immortal Island, they were all among the best grotto-heavens and blessed lands in the Three Realms!

Of course, apart from some grotto-heavens and blessed lands on the primordial earth, the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heavenly Realm were also incredibly rich in innate spiritual energy!

These changes made cultivation more difficult for cultivators, increasing their need for spiritual energy!

Some cultivators began to set their sights on heavenly treasures and magical herbs!

In the past, they were not valued because they were not needed, but now? They were desperately needed!

However, before the great calamity, heavenly treasures and magical herbs were common, but now on the primordial earth, they were not as easily found!

Although cultivation resources were gradually becoming scarce, the living beings of the primordial earth did not feel it so acutely. The primordial earth was vast, and after the great calamity, the population was sparse, so there was no immediate urgency!

What was most important for the living beings of the primordial earth was cultivation methods, or finding a patron?

Who was the strongest in the Three Realms now?

The answer was only the various Sages. After the war between the witches and the demons, the Three Realms were led by the various Sages!

Thus, becoming a disciple of a Sage was a matter of great concern for the living beings of the primordial earth!

Therefore, the number of disciples of the截Teaching began to increase rapidly, and the number of cultivators coming to listen to the Dao was even greater!

As for the human race, with the passage of time, they gradually recovered their vitality and began to develop rapidly. The entire Eastern Continent became the domain of the human race, and human tribes were constantly migrating south or west!

Gradually, the human race became the largest race in the primordial earth!

Many great adepts naturally did not overlook the human race, which had become the main character in the Three Realms, and they sent their disciples to travel the Three Realms and spread the Dao!

The截Teaching and the阐Teaching were even more focused on spreading the Dao!

Other great adepts who came out to spread the Dao might have done so to earn some merit and find a successor!

But for the two Sages who established the great teachings, spreading the Dao became a key matter!

After all, being a Sage was not a title to be taken lightly!

As for Buddhism? They were currently licking their wounds and could not even take care of their own doorstep, let alone other places!

The Human Teaching did not need to rush. The Great Sage of Purity had foresight, and the great teaching he established had a significant influence, so he did not need to compete to have his share!

His status as the eldest disciple meant that others would not easily offend him.

The teaching master sent his disciples to spread the Dao, and Ding Yue did not dare to be negligent. Coincidentally, his clone had just returned, so he sent the clone to the Heavenly Court to represent him.

The clone's cultivation was now at the peak of the Golden Immortal stage, just a step away from the Great Ethereal stage, but this step was very difficult to take, and it was not something to think about in the short term.

Moreover, the clone going to the Heavenly Court had its benefits, freeing up his own time, and some people also breathed a sigh of relief!

After all, among the four great Immortal Venerables, Ding Yue was the only one at the Great Ethereal stage, while the others were all Golden Immortals, which made others feel somewhat embarrassed!

Ding Yue then brought his three beautiful wives to Wuyi Mountain!

Wuyi Mountain was now empty, as the golden bear had been summoned to the heavens, and only some attendants were managing the place!

In the surrounding areas of Wuyi Mountain, there were many humans, with the original tribe spreading out over tens of thousands of miles, making it one of the largest tribes among the human race!

Ding Yue directly built a courtyard on an outer peak of Wuyi Mountain and hung a sign that read "Wuyi Holy Academy"!

When the nearby tribes heard that the Great Immortal of Mountains and Waters had opened a holy academy and would personally teach, they were all excited, and countless young humans rushed over to seek the Dao!

Ding Yue wanted to spread the Dao to the human race, but that did not mean he could teach all the true transmissions of the截Teaching!

After all, even when the teaching master lectured, apart from the specific teachings for the disciples of the截Teaching, he only spoke about the great Dao of the universe, not the true transmissions of the截Teaching!

Ding Yue could not do otherwise!

Those who came to spread the Dao were not there to take on disciples, so Ding Yue had to spend several years in seclusion, organizing his knowledge and creating some simple cultivation methods!

These methods were not particularly powerful, but they were sufficient for strengthening the body and mind, and the requirements for innate talent were not high, making them very suitable for the current state of the human race!

After all, with the great changes in the universe, the innate spiritual energy was no longer present, and the lifespan and physical strength of the human race were gradually declining. Ding Yue's methods would allow ordinary humans to better survive in the primordial earth!

Ding Yue's affection for the human race was beyond doubt. He carefully taught all the humans seeking the Dao in the holy academy, training them in three-year cycles to prepare them to benefit the human race!

Of course, there were also those who were wholeheartedly devoted to the Dao, and Ding Yue did not refuse them, setting up a separate courtyard to teach them immortal techniques!

However, the main focus was still on the main courtyard, where Ding Yue put in a lot of effort, and even his beautiful wives felt some sympathy for him!

One day, Ding Yue was teaching the disciples in the holy academy!

On a square of green stone, hundreds of young humans were sitting, listening attentively!

At that moment, a streak of light flew from the eastern sky, faster than lightning, and stopped in front of Ding Yue in the blink of an eye!

Ding Yue reached out and caught an ancient stone seal, square and inscribed with a mountain peak, vividly carved!

The teaching master had spent many years finally refining the broken mountain of Buzhou, creating a treasure seal, but it was no longer called the Fan Tian Seal; it was now the Buzhou Seal!

Ding Yue was inwardly pleased but showed no emotion on his face as he put the treasure seal away, ignoring the curious gazes of those below!

To be honest, the number of magical treasures in Ding Yue's possession was increasing!

Not mentioning the innate spiritual treasures, just recently, his clone had refined eighty-one magical banners in the Northern Continent, divided into two sets!

One set of nine Black Tortoise Banners was incredibly powerful, especially after absorbing the wandering spirits and blood lakes of the Northern Continent, making the Black Tortoise Banners even more potent, not inferior to innate spiritual treasures, and in some aspects, even stronger!

The other set of Ghost Banners, while slightly weaker, still qualified as acquired spiritual treasures.

Moreover, by eliminating nearly a third of the malevolent spirits and negative energy in the Northern Continent, Ding Yue gained a large amount of merit, which he used to refine these banners!

This made the originally ghostly and malevolent black banners shine with a golden light, their surfaces turning golden, which was quite amusing!

Additionally, his clone found several fragments of the Black Tortoise's shell in the Northern Continent, which, though not as valuable as the entire shell, were still top-tier materials. After refining them, he created several powerful defensive treasures!

As for the Buzhou Seal? It was even more impressive. Considering the Fan Tian Seal from the future, even if the teaching master's skills were not as good as his second eldest disciple, they would not be far off, or else the teaching master would not have wasted such good materials!

The days of spreading the Dao were both peaceful and busy, and Ding Yue was content and happy!

In the Heavenly Court!

The usually peaceful Heavenly Court was somewhat noisy today, with a faint anger emanating from the Lingxiao Hall, the air rolling continuously!

Something had happened!

Ding Yue's clone arrived at the hall, standing quietly to one side, pondering in his heart!

Not long ago, a demon king in the Southern Continent raised a banner, intending to reunite the demon race. Immediately, demons from all directions gathered, numbering in the hundreds of thousands!

The demon king boasted that he would ascend to the heavens to overthrow the Heavenly Emperor and re-establish the demon race's Heavenly Court!

The demon king's reputation quickly spread throughout the Three Realms, but the Great Celestial Venerable of the Heavenly Court was furious!

Upon investigation, it was found that the demon king was only at the Golden Immortal stage!

The Great Celestial Venerable was enraged, slamming the table and kicking the chair, ordering the Inspector Immortal Venerable to lead ten Immortal Generals and a million Heavenly Soldiers to suppress the rebellious demon king!

The Heavenly Soldiers and Generals descended in great numbers, forming an impressive array in the Southern Continent, their momentum shocking!

However, what no one expected was that this suppression turned into a counter-suppression. Not only were the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals useless, but the Inspector Immortal Venerable and the ten Immortal Generals, all Golden Immortals, were chased all over the mountains by the demon king!

The Inspector Immortal Venerable and the ten Immortal Generals were not seriously injured, just a bit disheveled!

But the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals who returned with them were only a few thousand, all of them groaning in pain, their cries echoing through the Heavenly Court!

This incident was a major embarrassment for the Heavenly Court, and the Three Realms saw a great joke!

If you can't even subdue a minor demon king, what kind of ruler of the Three Realms are you?

The Great Celestial Venerable, having lost face, was furious, but he had no good solution, as he had no capable subordinates!

"What do you think, my lords?" the Great Celestial Venerable asked the silent celestial officials below!

Ding Yue remained aloof, his eyes fixed on the floor, seemingly very focused!

The Southern Celestial Elder was also calm, his eyes half-closed, as if he were asleep.

This was the Great Celestial Venerable's own loss of face, and the截Teaching and the阐Teaching would not get involved!

Finally, the Inspector Immortal Venerable, unable to bear the increasingly stern gaze of the Great Celestial Venerable, spoke up: "I believe we should gather another million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals to suppress the demon king and prevent him from becoming more rampant!"

Nonsense! Ding Yue thought coldly. If the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were useful, this situation would not have arisen, and the key was the demon king, not the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!

Even the Great Celestial Venerable could not tolerate this, his gaze becoming even more severe, making the Immortal Venerable who wanted to continue speaking want to cry and unable to speak!

"Please invite the great adepts of the阐Teaching and the截Teaching to subdue the demon king?" a foolish celestial official suggested.

The Great Celestial Venerable was frustrated and very dissatisfied with the official!

If the disciples of the two teachings were to subdue the demon king, where would the Great Celestial Venerable's face be?

Under the table?
