1037 Mass Preaching
"My name is the Heavenly Zombie Emperor. Today, I will preach about [Essence]. Between Heaven and Earth, all sentient beings are composed of three aspects: Essence, Spirit, and Qi. Essence is the...."
Even though Yin Gen was a True Power Dao Realm cultivator, he is allowed to use the title of Great Emperor, and it's not just him. Anyone who has achieved 40 Infant Fiendgod Force can use an Emperor Title.
The entire world listened attentively to this sermon, including Wang Wei. With the new update of the Origin System, body refining has become a core aspect, especially in the Divine Body Realm. So, this sermon served a crucial role in the overall development of the world.
The process lasted three years, and everything was accompanied by visions that covered the world. Dao Rhymes enveloped the Myriad Emperor World, granting it a sense of mystery and grandeur. Wang Wei blocked the world, so these visions remained internal, but there was a high chance they would not spread, given it was only a sermon, and these people were "alternative" Emperors.
"I am the Chaos Time Emperor, and I talk about the evolution of time from its earliest state of chaos and disorder to a peaceful and neutral condition that allows the thriving of life."
According to the order the group agreed on, Lin Fan was next and began his sermon three months after Yin Gen's ended; he also lasted three years, creating a visual experience similar to his predecessor, with the exception that the River of Time might have flashed a few times.
...
"I am the Infinite Sword Emperor, and my Dao is that of the infinite strike, infinite cut, infinite, infinite parry, infinite ...."
Jian Wushuang's sermon was geared towards swordsmen, and he was not apologetic about it. Although people could learn a thing or two from him about attacking, but his target or demographic was the swordsmen.
Of course, this sermon was considered controversial in the swordsmanship community. Extreme Swordsmen are still the mainstream of the world despite losing one of their best - Wang Tian. But now, they realize they've also lost another great talent; even worse, this one has proved the Dao on this new path.
Many people knew there would be some strife in the swordsmanship community once everything settled. Previously, everyone became quiet because they knew their real confrontation was in the next generation after Wang Tian proved the Dao. However, Jian Wushuang's action might have provoked an advanced war between these people.
Wang Tian, who was complaining nonstop as to why his son forcefully stopped his training, became genuinely happy that he did. Despite everything he learned and experienced in the Swordsmanship World, the benefit he received from learning from an Eternal Emperor was immense. From then on, he decided to record the sermon of all sword emperors as part of the foundation for the Sword Alliance.
Of course, he also knew he could not immediately return to his seclusion once this was over; he had to show his face to the world and quell some of the chaos in his community.
"This humble Taoist Priest took the name Twin Unity Empress to emphasize the unity of man and Heaven and Earth, man and the Dao, and man and itself. Our journey will begin like all life began, with the balance of the five elements, followed by the evolution of Yin and Yang, and we will end with a touch of Taiji."
Five Elements has always been the most common and widespread Dao in the world, and with the versatility of Yin and Yang, her sermon was the most favored of everyone, and there is a low chance that someone would surpass her in that area.
The people felt they did not have enough once she finished. The dichotomy between going from Lin Fan's esoteric time-related sermon to Jian Wushuang's swordsmanship focus words and then to her sermon was simply surreal. Most people felt they spent three years listening to nonsense, followed by three years of something most were not interested in, to listening to the fundamental truths of the universe - and it was such a spiritual experience. Alas, all good things must come to an end.
"I am the Pure Yang Flame Empress, and my Dao focused not on balance but on the extreme. Today, we will focus on the extreme of Flame."
Jingwu Hua's sermon should have been very popular, considering Flame Dao is widespread, but it was not. Firstly, she only focused on the flame aspect of her Dao and did not touch on the Yang aspect. Secondly, she directed her preaching toward the demon race, focusing on applying Dao through the bloodline instead of the normal way of the soul, spirit, mind, or body.
Few humans have bloodlines, at least relatively compared to the demon race. Ultimately, people only complained to themselves. After all, she was an Eternal Emperor and from the demon race, so it was understandable why she took this approach.
"Maybe she's not as bad as I thought," muttered Ao Shen. Long ago, the demon race wanted to form an alliance with her through marriage, but things never reached anywhere. The relationship with the Golden Crow clan can be described as neutral, but that's only because of his existence. Once he leaves, there is a high chance that his kind will revert to disdaining the Golden Crow Clan.
'I can use this to genuinely appease the relationship between us.'
...
"I was lucky enough to acquire the title of Heart Sacrificing Emperor. Today, I will show a different perspective on the cultivation world from the aspect of sacrifice. Mortals envy our power, status, and long lifespan, but what price do we pay for those things - what do we sacrifice? Time, effort, morality, and a myriad of other things.
"Sacrifice is a balanced way of the world that touches on the way of Yin and Yang. Sacrifice one thing to gain something else, and the more you're willing to pay, the greater the reward."
Xiao Songxi's sermon was odd, to say the least. Wang Wei saw it as the cultivation version of a motivational talk, and the effects were more than wonderful. He could foresee the effect as more cultivators worked hard in their journey as they knew whatever difficulty they were currently dealing with was the sacrifice needed to attain power, wealth, and longevity.
"My name is Yang Guowei, now known as the Chrome Emperor. Color, on a superficial level, is how we see or perceive the world. Although this aspect is fascinating, there is more to colors than this."
Yang Guowei's sermon was more popular than Wang Wei anticipated, as the fact he went last did not have much of an effect. He first started by preaching about perception, which was very helpful to cultivators since they learned many applications of their senses and perceptions.
However, what made his sermon so popular was his target audience - mortals, the ones focusing on arts and crafts. He weaved ideas and techniques about using color in various arts and crafts, mostly painting, but he was also creative for many other professions. His actions boosted the validity and power of the Enlightening Temple, which thus further empowered mortals.
Wangg Wei opened his eyes as Yang Guowei uttered his last words. He could sense the world's unwillingness; after all, they spent twenty-one or more years straight listening to Great Emperors - no, Eternals - preached to them. No world in the lower dimension has ever experienced such a thing, and none will ever do.
He calmly observed the world as many visions manifested all at once. Seven multicolored dragons materialized in the sky before traveling worldwide, showing their might and presence before each finally ended in their respective sect's Qi Luck.
Six Emperor Lineages increased their sect's foundation, and a new lineage appeared. Wang Wei focused on the Dao Rhymes of the world and could not help but praise himself for what he did to the Origin System.
Cultivators who were in the Divine Altar Realm had a feast because of how many Dao Rhymes the world received and the fact they were new and extremely active. Many of the young geniuses in this realm successfully established one of the best foundations in probably a hundred generations.
The people in this cultivator realm were not the only ones who benefited. Anyone who was in the midst of switching to the new system took advantage of these seven sermons to accelerate the process and strengthen their foundation.
Meanwhile, cultivators of the old era or system also had their cake. With so much Dao Rhyme, understanding the laws became way easier. Wang Wei expects a dramatic increase in the number of Void Shattering Realm cultivators for a while until the Dao Rhymes enter a more inert state.
"Everyone is happy and celebrating, but who amongst them knows about the consequences?" muttered Wang Wei as he looked in the distance. The Myriad Emperor World just acquired seven new Eternal Powerhouses. This would not change this fact even if they will not be staying.
So, the main issue is how things are going to be balanced.
