74: Let Fuxi and Nuwa know the benefits of preaching.
This prayer mat was originally obtained by him and Nuwa through a resonance of Opportunity while they were traveling the Honghuang World.
After obtaining it, he had the intention of showing it off to make other creatures' eyes light up.
He didn't expect the first peer he encountered to be so appreciative, which truly satisfied Fuxi's ego.
Xuan Qing, however, was unaware of Fuxi's little schemes; he was merely praising it with sincere intention.
After all, there are not many famous Spirit Treasures in the Honghuang World that can assist creatures in comprehending the Dao.
In the Honghuang World, strength is respected above all, so a Spirit Treasure that can help one comprehend the Dao is of the utmost importance.
If this prayer mat were given to Xuan Qing, he would definitely return to the Pangu Hall and give it to Taiqing.
With this Spirit Treasure prayer mat, Taiqing would surely be able to elevate all of the Three Pure Ones and Twelve Ancestral Witches to the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm within a short time.
“Fellow Daoist, please.”
Seeing Xuan Qing deep in thought, Fuxi made a gesture of invitation, signaling Xuan Qing to sit on the prayer mat.
Pulling his thoughts back, Xuan Qing did not stand on ceremony and immediately sat cross-legged upon the Dao platform.
The moment he sat on the Dao platform, Xuan Qing felt his Primordial Spirit become clear and bright, and several ideas immediately sprang up regarding places he couldn't comprehend before.
“What a powerful enhancement! It has actually increased this poor Daoist's Comprehension Ability by several times!”
Xuan Qing showed a look of shock and muttered to himself.
This was an all-around, non-attribute, several-fold increase in Comprehension Ability, not targeted at any specific aspect.
The Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings looked at each other and watched Xuan Qing with smiles on their faces.
“It seems Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing is also someone with great innate talent and roots; his increase in Comprehension Ability is actually slightly higher than ours.”
“Yes, Brother. I didn't expect the first Great Luo Golden Immortal Creature we met while traveling the Honghuang World would be so extraordinary.”
The Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings communicated secretly through Primordial Spirit transmissions.
In fact, Fuxi's prayer mat had another function: to identify the level of a creature's roots and Comprehension Ability.
The Dao of Heaven takes from the surplus to supplement the deficient, while the Dao of Man takes from the deficient to serve the surplus.
This Spirit Treasure prayer mat follows the Dao of Man, meaning the stronger the roots and Comprehension Ability of the creature sitting on it, the more bonus they receive.
Xuan Qing said his Comprehension Ability had increased several times, which was a tiny bit higher than the increase for the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings.
The Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings were naturally surprised.
After all, Xuan Qing was only at the Late-stage Great Overarching Golden Immortal Realm; this meant that when he was born, his Realm was even lower.
Yet they were born at the Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, so were their roots and Comprehension Ability actually a tiny bit lower than Xuan Qing's?
This didn't necessarily mean the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings' roots were lacking.
It could only be said that Xuan Qing's roots were too high; he was created from the Primordial Spirit of Taiqing combined with the blood of Father God Pangu.
He was equivalent to a member of the Pangu Clan who had been weakened countless times.
A member of the Pangu Clan, even if weakened countless times, is still a member of the Pangu Clan.
It was not surprising that his roots were a tiny bit higher than those of the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings.
However, the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings did not dwell on this for long.
Roots and Comprehension Ability are just that; the ultimate achievements of a creature still depend on their own choices.
The two siblings would not become obsessed with such things.
Their own roots and Comprehension Ability were among the top in the Honghuang World, and they had the confidence not to lose to any creature.
The three Grand Unity Golden Immortals—Xuan Qing, Fuxi, and Nuwa—sat atop the immortal mountain to discuss the Dao.
Suddenly, heavenly flowers fell and golden lotuses gushed from the earth at the peak of the immortal mountain.
This phenomenon attracted many creatures, including Golden Immortals and even Taiyi Golden Immortals.
“Fellow Daoists, let these creatures listen to the Dao nearby.”
“Being able to rush here to witness the three of us discussing the Dao can be considered their Opportunity.”
“Perhaps we will have other gains later.”
Fuxi originally wanted to set up a Formation to prevent those creatures from listening, but he was stopped by Xuan Qing's words.
Xuan Qing was someone who knew the effects of preaching. Back when Taiqing was in the East Sea waiting for the Penglai Immortal Island to intersect with the Honghuang World,
Taiqing had preached on an island the size of a Minor Thousand Worlds, and because of that, Taiqing had gained a small amount of Karma and Luck.
Now, with such a good chance to show the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings the benefits of preaching, he naturally couldn't let Fuxi destroy it.
Today, if the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings understood what could be gained from preaching and what the listeners would lose,
Then when that Old Thief Hongjun preached in the Zixiao Palace after attaining the Dao as a Heavenly Dao Sage, wouldn't the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings stop to consider things?
Xuan Qing didn't expect a simple Dao discussion to yield such an unexpected harvest.
He really had to thank those creatures for coming to listen.
To this end, Xuan Qing prepared to bring out some real substance to thank this group of listening creatures.
As Xuan Qing brought out real substance to discuss the Dao with the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings, the phenomena atop the immortal mountain became even more grand.
Naturally, more and more creatures were attracted to come and listen.
Soon, the peak of the immortal mountain was crowded with listening creatures, giving off the feeling of a primary school classroom.
The Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings no longer tried to drive those creatures away; instead, they followed Xuan Qing's lead and brought out real substance for the discussion.
This was because the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings had already received tangible benefits from the preaching.
They had gained a small amount of Karma and Luck!
They were beings who knew the immense benefits of Karma and Luck.
Following the principle that one would be a fool not to earn Karma when available, Fu Xi and Nü Wa put even more effort into their preaching.
A Dao discussion between three Grand Unity Golden Immortals eventually evolved completely into three Grand Unity Golden Immortals preaching at the peak of an immortal mountain.
However, the Dao that a Grand Unity Golden Immortal can preach is ultimately limited, even if the three of them—Xuan Qing, Fuxi, and Nuwa—brought out real substance.
This preaching session only lasted for several thousand years before ending.
After bowing in thanks to the three Grand Unity Golden Immortals, the listening creatures could only leave reluctantly.
“Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Xuan Qing.”
Once those creatures had left, the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings both bowed to Xuan Qing in gratitude.
This was naturally to thank Xuan Qing for letting the two of them know about the great Opportunity of gaining Karma and Luck through preaching.
They had only just met, yet they had received such a great gift from Xuan Qing, so they naturally had to show their gratitude.
“Fellow Daoist Fuxi, Fellow Daoist Nuwa, you are too polite. This is also your own personal destiny; it has little to do with this poor Daoist.”
“It is simply that your compassionate hearts have received their reward.”
“This poor Daoist merely went along with the flow.”
“This poor Daoist also accidentally discovered that preaching to all sentient beings can yield benefits such as Karma and Luck.”
“At that time, I thought that if one day I were to attain the legendary Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable,”
“And then preached to the all sentient beings of the primordial era, what kind of immense benefits would I gain? The Karma and Luck would likely be beyond imagination!”
Xuan Qing seemed to say this casually, but he was leading the topic toward preaching to the masses.
With such a good Opportunity, how could he not plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of the Fuxi and Nuwa Siblings?
They had personally witnessed the benefits gained from preaching and what the creatures had lost.
The seed planted in their hearts this way would be more conducive to taking root and sprouting.
“Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal! Yes, if one day we attain the Realm of Hunyuan Great Luo Golden Immortal Celestial Venerable,”
“And then preach to all sentient beings, what kind of vast Karma and Luck would we obtain!”
