Why did they choose the weakest Way of Magic Power?

Is it really because the Path of Law is difficult to Cultivate?

But why don't they remember ever Cultivating the Path of Law and The Way of the Physical Body?

Between two paths, only through comparison can one determine which is stronger or weaker, which is simpler, or which is harder to Cultivate.

Yet, they have never Cultivated the Path of Law or The Way of the Physical Body, so why do they believe these two paths are difficult to Cultivate?

Now that Taiqing mentioned it, they truly felt a chilling realization.

Could the Heavenly Dao truly be so terrifying, capable of subtly influencing their thoughts?

Subtly influencing them to believe that the Path of Law and The Way of the Physical Body are difficult to Cultivate, even though they've never done so.

Leading them to only Cultivate their Primordial Spirit and mana.

Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings were fine; after meeting Xuan Qing, they did Cultivate the Path of Law and The Way of the Physical Body.

But Hong Yun Zhen Yuanzi had never tried Cultivating the Path of Law or The Way of the Physical Body.

"But Fellow Daoist Taiqing, that Heaven..."

Fuxi had just opened his mouth, but before he could utter the words Heavenly Dao, he stopped and remained silent, instead looking up with a worried expression.

Living in the Honghuang World, Fuxi naturally knew how terrifying the omnipresent Heavenly Dao was.

Discussing the Heavenly Dao like this, he was truly afraid that the Heavenly Dao would strike him down with a Thunder Punishment.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, there's no need to worry. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot peek into our Witch Clan's Pangu Hall.

This is why I took the risk to invite all of you into the core Pangu Hall of our Witch Clan for discussion.

It is also why I asked all Fellow Daoists to make a great dao oath.

With the protection of the great dao oath, even outside Pangu Hall, the Heavenly Dao would not dare to peek into this memory of yours.

All Fellow Daoists can speak freely, without worrying about the Heavenly Dao."

Only then did the four, Fuxi included, understand that they had completely misunderstood the meaning of Fellow Daoist Taiqing asking them to make a great dao oath.

They had truly judged a gentleman by their own petty standards.

But this time, they misunderstood again.

Taiqing's previous request for them to make a great dao oath was not truly for this reason.

Making a great dao oath to prevent the Heavenly Dao from checking their memories was merely a secondary objective.

With Taiqing saying this, Fuxi finally relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, why does the Heavenly Dao suppress all sentient beings of the primordial era from Breaking through their Realm?

This doesn't benefit the Heavenly Dao, does it? Shouldn't the Heavenly Dao be impartial?

Doesn't the Heavenly Dao fear the Dao punishing it for such actions?"

Fuxi now dared to speak boldly about the Heavenly Dao, though at first he still looked up worriedly.

Even though he couldn't see the sky from within Pangu Hall.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi asks a good question. I presume that when you discussed the Dao with Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing, you gained some Karma and Luck, right?"

Taiqing didn't answer directly, but instead asked Fuxi a question.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing even told Fellow Daoist Taiqing about this? It seems Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing and Fellow Daoist Taiqing have an extraordinary relationship. When I discussed the Dao with Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing, I did indeed gain some Karma and Luck.

Wait a minute! Are you implying that the Heavenly Dao is doing this precisely for the Karma and Luck of sentient beings?"

Fuxi suddenly realized, looking at Taiqing in disbelief.

Fuxi remembered that Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing had once said that if one day an existence were to preach to sentient beings, he, Xuan Qing, would absolutely not go to listen.

From this perspective, the Heavenly Dao suppressing sentient beings from Breaking through their Realm is definitely for harvesting the Luck and Karma of all sentient beings of the primordial era.

Nuwa, Hong Yun, and Zhenyuanzi, upon hearing Fuxi's speculation, once again shot up from their seats.

The shocks they experienced this day were simply too numerous.

"Your statement, Fellow Daoist, is correct, but not entirely.

The correct part is that the Heavenly Dao is indeed for harvesting the Luck of sentient beings.

The incorrect part is that the reason for the Heavenly Dao doing so is not fully accounted for.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao doesn't need to harvest the Karma of sentient beings, as Karma is something the Heavenly Dao itself bestows.

If the Heavenly Dao desires Karma, it possesses countless amounts itself.

What are your thoughts on this current Calamity?"

"Why are we talking about this Calamity again? This Calamity is naturally incredibly terrifying.

It even left the entire Western Continent devoid of life.

It will probably take thousands of Yuanhui for the Western Continent to recover its Origin Qi to pre-war levels.

Even if it recovers, the Western Continent will be entirely behind the other four continents.

Are you suggesting, Fellow Daoist, that this Calamity is also related to the Heavenly Dao harvesting the Luck of all sentient beings of the primordial era?"

Fuxi interjected once more.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi is right. This Calamity can be called the Calamity of the Conflict between Dao and Demon.

The 'Demon,' of course, refers to Demon Ancestor Luohu, who self-detonated to create the Demon Realm and establish the Demon Tribulation.

The 'Dao,' of course, refers to the Ancestor of Immortals, Old Ancestor Hongjun.

This Calamity was triggered by these two Great Expert at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

More than ten Great Expert at the Peak of Hunyuan Golden Immortal assisted them in battle on the Western Continent.

This is what caused the collapse of the entire Western Continent, fortunately without affecting other continents.

And Old Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Luohu were precisely fighting to determine the One who merges with the Dao of the Heavenly Dao.

At that time, the One who merges with the Dao will Proving the Dao, preach to sentient beings, and merge with the Heavenly Dao.

The One who merges with the Dao will harvest the Karma and Luck of sentient beings of the Honghuang World, and the Heavenly Dao will harvest most of the Luck.

The ultimate victor of this Dao-Demon Conflict was Old Ancestor Hongjun.

Therefore, in the near future, Old Ancestor Hongjun will Proving the Dao, preach to sentient beings, and harvest the Luck and Karma of sentient beings of the Honghuang World.

At that time, how will all Fellow Daoists choose?

Will you choose to go listen to the sermon and have your Luck harvested by Hongjun, or will you Cultivate on your own, explore the Dao, and preserve your own Luck?"

Taiqing had not forgotten his goal, which was to persuade Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings not to go to Zixiao Palace to listen to the sermon.

He even wanted Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings to embark on the Path of Dao Attainment through Law.

Of course, Taiqing wasn't really deceiving Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings; he was merely stating the facts.

He was laying the truth before Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings.

As for Hong Yun Zhen Yuanzi, they were just an incidental matter.

"So that's how it is!"

The four Grand Unity Golden Immortal appeared enlightened, but they didn't necessarily fully believe Taiqing's words.

Zhenyuanzi's expression showed a hint of doubt.

Although well-hidden, Taiqing still noticed it.

However, Taiqing didn't mind, as long as Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings believed him.

Whether Zhenyuanzi believed it or not, Taiqing truly didn't care.

If he believed, it would just be an unexpected bonus.

If he didn't believe and still went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the sermon, then he deserved to have his Luck harvested by Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings had experienced it firsthand and knew that preaching could harvest Luck and Karma.

Therefore, there was no doubt on the faces of the brother and sister.

As for Hong Yun, that fellow was utterly carefree, merely treating it as entertainment and a way to broaden his horizons.

He didn't take this matter concerning his own destiny to heart at all, considering it just a peculiar experience.

Seeing this, Taiqing merely shook his head with a smile, thinking that Hong Yun's eventual fate after the Zixiao Palace sermon was entirely deserved.

"But if we don't listen to the sermon, how can we know what lies ahead?"
