Immortal cultivation starts with copying.

Chapter 815 Teaching the Dharma

Zhao Yuyang's tribulation celebration was a success and a lively affair, especially with the appearance of Chen Yunhao.

He was originally very low-key. Many people knew that the Taiyi Sect had this Supreme Ancestor, and also knew that he had been at the Tribulation Transcending stage for less than a thousand years.

Therefore, within the normal range of human thinking, Chen Yunhao's cultivation level should at most reach the second level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and definitely not exceed the third level.

In the records of the spirit world, there was once a cultivation genius who could advance one level every three hundred years, and it took him more than two thousand years to transcend tribulation and ascend to immortality.

However, Chen Yunhao has already reached the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm in less than a thousand years. At this rate, ascension will not be long before he ascends to immortality.

So although Zhao Yuyang's celebration was a success, it was Chen Yunhao who gained fame.

Chen Yunhao secluded himself for hundreds of years, always wanting to keep a low profile and not expose himself to the public.

However, he couldn't miss Zhao Yuyang's celebration, so after hurriedly attending the celebration, he went back and immediately went into seclusion.

He didn't cause any trouble on this trip, after all, he was already in the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and there were only a handful of people in the world with higher cultivation than him.

There was no trouble, but suddenly there were many more people visiting.

One after another, many patriarchs from super sects arrived, as well as some large and small sects near Taiyi Sect.

The cultivators who have transcended tribulation came to visit, naturally wanting to discuss how to advance quickly.

When sects of all sizes come to visit, it's naturally to pay their respects. Even super sects have different ranks.

If a super sect with a late-stage Tribulation Transcending Realm appears, it will definitely be a top-tier sect. If we don't curry favor with it now, when will we?

However, Chen Yunhao simply opened the barrier and closed the gates, refusing to respond to anyone who came.

He secluded himself for two or three decades before no one came to his door anymore.

Chen Yunhao knew the saying "the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind." In the world of cultivation, it was better to keep a low profile, unless he reached the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcending and became the number one person in this world, then he would have nothing to worry about.

As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes. Chen Yunhao originally planned to advance once every hundred years, which should be pretty much correct.

However, after entering the later stages of his tribulation, he knew that his plans had to change.

As one progresses through the late stages of the Tribulation Transcending Tribulation to the Great Perfection stage, the energy required for advancement in these three or four levels increases significantly.

The immortal energy that originally needed a hundred years to grow and mature now needs a hundred and fifty years, otherwise the amount of immortal energy would not be enough to promote advancement.

Therefore, according to his recalculation, from now until the Great Perfection of Tribulation is reached, it will take at least two or three hundred years longer than originally planned.

Actually, this amount of time isn't much, which is perfect for him to stay in the Spirit Realm a little longer. He doesn't have anything else to do right now, except to try his best to improve the strength of the sect and the abilities of the younger generation, so he can leave with peace of mind.

Therefore, in the following hundreds of years, Chen Yunhao would set aside a few days almost every three years to give lectures within the sect.

This is a way to improve the strength of the entire sect. Many powerful figures would rather take their knowledge to the Immortal Realm than pass it down, which often leads to the loss of many magical arts and supernatural powers.

Chen Yunhao also climbed up step by step from the Qi Refining stage. As a Tribulation Transcending cultivator, he has a wealth of cultivation experience.

He was also able to explain his experience to all his disciples in a simple and easy-to-understand way, from those at the Qi Refining stage to those at the Mahayana stage, all of whom benefited greatly.

Even his senior brother and master, Lin Changfeng, had to come to listen to his lectures on time.

In the world of cultivation, there is a saying: "Those who are accomplished are teachers." Regardless of seniority or age, those with superior cultivation are the key.

This way of speaking is only for all disciples within the sect and is not open to outsiders.

Of course, outsiders can listen if they want, unless you join the Taiyi Sect.

Alternatively, disciples within the sect who have made special contributions can exchange their merits for a spot for an outsider to listen in, but such cases are extremely rare.

After Chen Yunhao gave a few lectures, Zhao Yuyang somehow heard about it and shamelessly insisted on coming to listen.

Given their relationship, Chen Yunhao couldn't very well refuse.

Cultivating immortality is not only about cultivating oneself, but also about cultivating the great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Chen Yunhao spoke not only about his own experience, but also about his understanding of the great principles of heaven and earth, especially the great principles of space.

It is said that there are three thousand great paths, but in reality there are only two true paths: time and space.

Everyone knows that as long as one masters the Dao of Time, one can truly live as long as the heavens.

What do cultivators pursue? Isn't it immortality? That's why the Great Dao of Time is the most difficult Great Dao to master.

There is also the Great Path of Space. Once you master the Great Path of Space, distances become minor paths within it.

Those who truly master the Great Dao of Space can freely travel between the past and the future; this is what cultivators strive for throughout their lives.

The rest are minor matters and not worth mentioning, because this world is not meant to exist indefinitely and will one day be destroyed.

The entire world collapsed and was destroyed; only time and space remained. Therefore, all other paths are minor paths, because they will disappear with the collapse of the world.

The reason Zhao Yuyang came so shamelessly was because he knew that Chen Yunhao's greatest strength was the Dao of Space, which was known to all the cultivators in the Spirit Realm who were undergoing tribulation.

Chen Yunhao's lectures occasionally touched on the principles of space; whether the people below could understand them, and how much they comprehended, was their own business.

This practice continued every three years for hundreds of years, and it became a tradition of the Taiyi Sect.

This is a good practice because it can attract more disciples to the Taiyi Sect.

Disciples join any sect hoping to learn genuine skills.

Which sect wouldn't envy having a powerful being at the Tribulation Transcending stage personally preach the Dharma? Naturally, it would attract more outstanding disciples.

This practice continued even after Chen Yunhao ascended to immortality, and was carried out by subsequent cultivators who had undergone tribulation.

Just as he had guessed, in the eight hundred years that Chen Yunhao was in seclusion, the first person to advance to the Tribulation Transcending stage was his master, Lin Changfeng.

Master Liu was ultimately a step behind. Although he had no shortage of resources and would advance in the future, he was still a little slower.

After all, Lin Changfeng's talent far surpasses that of Master Liu, and with his own disciple Chen Yunhao often giving him extra lessons, it would be difficult for him not to advance.

While Lin Changfeng was preparing to undergo his tribulation, Chen Yunhao's cultivation had already reached the eighth level of the tribulation stage, and he was about to advance to the ninth level.

Lin Changfeng's advancement to the Tribulation Transcending stage naturally attracted extraordinary phenomena from heaven and earth, though not as dramatic as Chen Yunhao's.

Chen Yunhao stood outside Lin Changfeng's cave with his hands behind his back, watching until the strange phenomenon disappeared before smiling faintly and returning to his own cave.

Lin Changfeng has just advanced and will not be leaving seclusion immediately. He still needs several years to consolidate his strength, so there is no rush for the master and disciple to meet.
