1187 Dao Banquet: Key Speakers

Wang Wei already knew who to choose as the last key speaker for the Soul Path, and that would be its founder - Liang Shixian. However, it took him some thought to choose the very first. There were few God Kings in the first place, and the best originated from the Divine Race. So, he chose someone who could establish an excellent standard for that area.

The preacher did an excellent job; his sermon was mainly about the Soul, as this was their expertise. The young Divine Race, named Red Ocean, took a page out of Jin Ye's book and discussed the balance between the Essence, Spirit, and Qi - but the main focus is the Spirit instead. This sermon lasted 2100 years.

The rest of the Soul Area sermons involved four main topics: Soul, incense, Divine Law, and Divine Will. Liang Shixian convinced his people to talk about the Insurgent Technique of condensing Divine Laws and Wills in the hope of further increasing the strength of this Divine Path. Wang Wei's Soul Dao benefited immensely from all these sermons about the soul and spirit.

It did not take long for the Soul Area's turn to finish. They had their lows and highs, including their unique take on professions like Alchemy that involved using faith in the process. Then, it was finally Liang Shixian's turn to speak.

He took a moment to compose himself. One of his main goals was to expand the God Path and make it as good as the Emperor Path. However, as soon as he became the first God King, reality hit him, and he realized this goal was impossible. So, he focused on spreading his path and, at least, making it as good as the Dao Path.

Sadly, people would rather become Dao Ancestors than God Kings. Many people would even walk the lesser paths because of how young his path was and the restraint of incense. The progress would have been even worse if not for his decision to ally with the Soul Race across the Endless Void due to their affinity to this path.

Due to the current situation, Liang Shizian has been debating whether he should ascend to pursue the higher realms of this path or stay in the lower dimension to continue growing. And so far, he's leaning on staying.

'So far, this event has been going well regarding showing the strength of our path. Let's end things with a bang - just like the Immortal Path.'

Liang Shixian preached. As the founder of this path, he had the most profound sermons, continuing for as long as 2800 years. However, they were not as impactful as the Turtle King's. Liang Shixian sighed in regret; he did his best, but it was not enough.

The next area was the Luck Area for the Heavenly Kings, and they were chosen because of their small numbers. Wang Wei chose Dong Lifen as the first speaker instead of the last. Despite being a mortal, she preached for over 2500 years, showing the world why her Dao Tree was almost completely purple-gold.

'By all merit, this is the best session so far,' Wang Wei thought, feeling the immense Dao Rhymes condensing in the sect, baptizing the environment and the people. It was so dense that some spilled into the Myriad Emperor World, and this was not even the main event yet.

'If this is the result of one banquet, I cannot fathom how these lineages in the upper dimension are,' Wang Wei thought. This banquet is monumental for the lower dimension but not the upper dimension. On the contrary, they should be more grandiose since some of these factions will have multiple Paragons preaching.

'Yet, with all these advantages, cultivation still takes such a long time,' Wang Wei sighed before focusing on the task at hand. 'Now, how to start the Emperor Area?' He looked at all the people present before his eyes landed on the monk, Feng Heng.

Wang Wei noticed that the latter had a very peaceful and reassuring aura. 'It seems after succeeding in reviving Buddhism, the flaw in his Dao Heart was fixed, and his state of mind reached a higher level.'

"You're up first."

"Thank you, benefactor, for this honor," Feng Heng nodded, before readjusting himself:

"What is the limit of the mind? Does it have a limit? The human mind, or its extension - imagination - has no boundaries or limits. It can create anything it pleases, it can..."

Feng Heng's sermon was natural and effortless; the words came out of his mouth as if they were the fundamental truths of Heaven and Earth. Furthermore, everyone suddenly felt as if the effect of the Enlightened Tea strengthened for this particular sermon.

No one had any trouble following his mind, and no one wasted this opportunity by focusing on improving their sermons. By now, if they were not ready, there was no hope; the Emperor Area had a major advantage by being the last section to go, meaning there was no excuse for a poor sermon.

Feng Heng focused on the Mind-not the soul (except for their connection)-before transitioning into the Five Elements and Yin-Yang Dao. He did not speak much on Buddhism to ensure the universality of his sermon. As he uttered his last words, 3000 years had passed. The Dao Rhymes resonated at an even higher intensity, giving the people an even better boost for the next 300 years they spent digesting.

"Why is it so short?" That was everyone's main consensus once they opened their eyes. This was the longest sermon, but it felt so short to them. People looked at Feng Heng with respect; they finally understood why Buddhism had such a major comeback despite its recent comeback.
