Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!

Chapter 1263: Chapter 1257: Spreading the Dao

One mysterious phrase after another flowed from Liu Bei’s mouth, echoing through the Myriad Realms of the Heavens, the outer Chaos worlds, and the inner Chaos worlds.

In that instant, across the firmament of the great thousand world of the Nine Provinces Heaven, countless auspicious omens appeared: purple qi surged from the east, rosy clouds descended from the sky, golden lotuses welled up from the earth, and billions of auspicious beasts galloped forth...

As Liu Bei preached the Dao, the countless beings who had been lost in Hongjun’s Dao sound regained their clarity.

"Your Majesty, we can proclaim it to the world: all Qin Dynasty subjects who listen to Lord Liu’s preaching and attain some comprehension may receive a share of cultivation resources!"

Within the imperial court, seeing the citizens regaining their senses, Xiao He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and offered his counsel.

This was a contest of preaching the Dao!

If, among the Myriad Realms of the Heavens and the outer Chaos worlds, the majority of beings placed their faith in Hongjun, it would mean Liu Bei had failed in preaching the Dao and could not preserve the laws of Heaven and Earth.

However, compared to Hongjun, the Qin Dynasty’s fortune dynasty held a heaven-bestowed advantage in the Myriad Realms of the Heavens and the outer Chaos worlds.

This advantage lay in the Qin Dynasty’s imperial fortune ruling over the Myriad Realms of the Heavens and the outer Chaos worlds.

So long as the Qin court issued a decree, the beings living in the Myriad Realms of the Heavens and the outer Chaos worlds would be compelled to listen to Liu Bei’s discourse on the Dao.

"This..."

Hearing Xiao He’s suggestion, Qin Wudao fell into thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No need. I believe Minister Liu will surely defeat Hongjun!"

Indeed, if he followed Xiao He’s suggestion, the Qin Dynasty’s fortune dynasty would stand in an unassailable position in this contest of preaching the Dao.

But to win in such a way—would it be glorious?

Cultivating the Dao!

Cultivating the Dao!

If Liu Bei won this contest of preaching the Dao due to the interference of the Qin Dynasty’s fortune dynasty, would it not affect Liu Bei’s Dao heart?

This was not a clash of political power, but a debate on the Dao between Martial Artists.

Since it was a debate on the Dao, it ought to be resolved through fair means.

Moreover, he trusted that Liu Bei would surely gain the upper hand in this preaching of the Dao.

"A contest of preaching the Dao, is it?"

Within the Purple Mist Palace, upon hearing Liu Bei’s discourse, Hongjun’s expression revealed a faint trace of disdain.

He was confident that, looking across the entire Myriad Realms of the Heavens, his comprehension of the Dao ranked second, and none would dare claim first.

"Above Dao, it is called ’Ancestor’; beneath Ancestor, it is called ’Accord’..."

Thinking of how all his previous attempts to suppress the Qin Dynasty’s fortune dynasty had ended in failure, Hongjun secretly steeled himself; in this round of the contest of preaching the Dao, he must win beautifully.

Instinctively, he amplified his voice.

Dao power tore through the void.

It transformed into one golden character after another, forming a golden dragon whose terrifying pressure made the laws of Heaven and Earth in the Chaos world and the Myriad Realms of the Heavens tremble, as if they were insignificant ants that might be overturned at any moment.

"I know its name; forcibly I name it Dao, and forcibly I name it Great!"

Seeing the distant golden dragon, Liu Bei’s expression remained calm as he unhurriedly preached: "Great means to go forth, going forth means far, far means returning..."

The Dao sound spread outward.

A green dragon coiled atop the Ninth Heaven, then flicked its tail, turning into a streak of green light that charged toward the golden dragon.

Boom!

In an instant, the two Dao dragons, each condensed from Dao power, began a frenzied slaughter.

The laws of Heaven and Earth rippled!

Countless primal Dao principles prostrated themselves!

Innumerable beings lifted their heads to gaze at the two Dao dragons; all felt their Dao hearts tremble and began choosing which Dao sound to listen to.

"Ah!"

A chorus of miserable screams rang out.

Many greedy Martial Artists, wishing to listen to both Dao sounds at once, immediately suffered backlash; clutching their heads, they collapsed to the ground, their faces twisted, blood seeping from all seven orifices.

This scene gave the remaining Martial Artists quite a fright, and they understood that they could only listen to one Dao sound.

You cannot have both fish and bear’s paw.

Whose should they listen to?

"Listen to Lord Liu!"

The Martial Artists within the Myriad Realms of the Heavens hesitated little before choosing to listen to Liu Bei preach the Dao, causing the illusory Rule Power of Heaven and Earth to become more substantial.

They were all subjects of the Qin Dynasty, and naturally they had to support Liu Bei.

As for the beings of the outer Chaos worlds, having only just become citizens of the Qin Dynasty’s fortune dynasty and lacking much sense of belonging to it, they were still in a state of inner struggle.

As for the Martial Artists of the inner Chaos worlds, they did not hesitate; all chose to listen to Hongjun’s preaching.

"The high honors the low, the low accords with the high; Dao power unites as one, and becomes Rule..."

Seeing the laws of Heaven and Earth of the Myriad Realms of the Heavens growing solid, Hongjun’s face darkened, and he was secretly furious; yet his preaching did not cease, causing the golden Dao dragon’s body to swell without end.

"Roar!"

The golden Dao dragon bellowed, raising its foreclaws high as it pressed the green Dao dragon down and pummeled it.

"Thus Dao is great, Heaven is great, Earth is great, and the sovereign is also great!"

"Within the domain there are four greats, and the sovereign dwells among them as one!"

Liu Bei arched a brow, not showing the slightest panic.

With the utterance of those two phrases of the Dao—

The green Dao dragon instantly turned defeat into victory and firmly seized the upper hand.

In the time that followed, Hongjun and Liu Bei launched into a fierce confrontation; their Dao sounds shook the world, falling into the ears of countless Martial Artists, each of whom gained something.

Yet whether Hongjun or Liu Bei, neither could easily overcome the other.

As time went on, the beings of the outer Chaos worlds began making their choice: seventy percent of the Martial Artists chose to listen to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun’s preaching, while only thirty percent chose to listen to Liu Bei.

After all, in the eyes of the beings of the outer Chaos worlds, the Qin Dynasty’s fortune dynasty was an invader and was not well liked by them.

By contrast, Hongjun, as the strongest existence in the Myriad Realms of the Heavens since ancient times, had Dao teachings that were more convincing to them.

"In this debate on the Dao, this Ancestor is certain to win!"

Above the Purple Mist Palace, seeing that most beings of the outer Chaos worlds were listening to his Dao, Hongjun’s gloomy expression eased slightly, and he revealed a hint of pride.

In truth, he only needed to preach in the inner Chaos worlds and the Yin World to establish new rules and break through to the rule domain.

Yet he had paid a great price to transmit his Dao sound to the outer Chaos worlds and the Myriad Realms of the Heavens, purely to disgust the Qin Dynasty’s fortune dynasty, and to inform that never-before-met nemesis, Qin Wudao, that he was about to break through to the rule domain.

Qin Wudao, do you feel despair?

Your enemy is about to step into the rule domain!

The Human Emperor fell at this Ancestor’s hands!

You, Qin Wudao, are no exception; no matter how glorious you are now, one day you will inevitably plunge into an abyss of ten thousand fathoms!

"It seems the imperial court still needs to further rectify the outer Chaos worlds."

Liu Bei also noticed that only a small portion of the beings in the outer Chaos worlds were listening to his discourse. He did not grow angry, but spoke softly.

Then he lifted his head to look at the golden Dao dragon, muttering to himself, "But to judge a contest of preaching the Dao merely by the number of beings listening—is that not thinking a bit too simply?"

The essence of a contest of preaching the Dao lies in the strength of the Dao itself!

It is like comparing a ninth-grade Immortal Art with an eighth-grade Immortal Art; which is stronger and which is weaker is clear at a glance.

"Thus it is said: the law follows the Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows Dao, and Dao follows what is natural!"

Drawing a deep breath, Liu Bei shouted in a clear, resonant voice.

Dao follows what is natural!

At the utterance of these four words, in the Myriad Realms of the Heavens, the outer Chaos worlds, the inner Chaos worlds, and even the Yin World in another dimension, Heaven and Earth suddenly changed color.

The Three Thousand Great Daos manifested, and together they bowed to Liu Bei!

In that instant, all beings—including those of the inner Chaos worlds—felt their hearts quake and, subconsciously, began listening to Liu Bei’s preaching.
