Chapter 612: Chapter 494: Zhu Bajie Achieves Quasi-Saint Status, Sun Wukong Proves the Way with Strength

The sudden oppressive force and the power of the Great Dao it contained left the Quasi-Saints in rapture, intoxicated by the revelation.

They wanted to ask Wang Yang how he managed to achieve such rapid progress in such a short time, but they all understood that Wang Yang’s swift advancement was more or less shadowed by the influence of the Ancestral Master, so no one actually asked him about it.

Before long, Fuxi arrived at the Biyou Palace with several figures in tow.

Seeing the somewhat familiar figures, a smile spread across Wang Yang’s face.

Zhu Bajie was just one step away from breaking through to become a Quasi-Saint, as were the Nine Heavens Profound Girl, the Judicial celestial God, and others.

Having not seen them for a while, it was clear that the Leader of the Tongtian Sect and the others had been very dedicated in their guidance. Wang Yang could see that each was just a hair’s breadth away from becoming a Quasi-Saint.

With the right opportunity, they would likely break through smoothly and become Quasi-Saints.

"Today, I will preach at the Biyou Palace for three days. After three days, whether the opportunity has come or not, it is for you to grasp!"

Looking at the people before him, Wang Yang felt as if he were seeing the hope of the Three Realms.

As for preaching, Wang Yang now qualified to do so.

Especially when it came to understanding the Great Dao, there was no one in the entire Three Realms who understood it better than Wang Yang.

No one could help it—he directly comprehended fifty types of the Great Dao, unequaled by any other.

"Daoist Wang Yang, may we listen to the lecture?"

Fuxi, too, was moved. His understanding of Yin Yang Bagua also implicitly encompassed the principle of mutual generation of all things. If he could listen to Wang Yang’s preaching, perhaps he too could advance further.

It wasn’t just Fuxi; many of the Quasi-Saints present harbored this thought—it was just that Fuxi had been the one to speak up first. For this reason, they all looked to Wang Yang with some excitement.

"Of course, you may!"

Wang Yang said with a smile.

This gesture won him the favor of all the Quasi-Saints present.

However, they also knew that it would be impossible to listen for three full days, as they still had the task of patrolling the Three Realms to prevent the Demon Clan from causing trouble.

Upon returning, Wang Yang did not rest, but began to preach directly within the Biyou Palace on Golden Turtle Island.

Starting from the inception of heaven and earth, to the intangible Heavenly Dao, Wang Yang, having comprehended fifty types of the Great Dao, spoke of the celestial laws as if it were second nature to him.

In addition to the Quasi-Saints and those few who were nearing their breakthrough, the Pinnacle of Great Luo who could sit inside the Biyou Palace and listen to Wang Yang’s preaching, others at the peak of Great Luo were also allowed to listen from outside.

Suddenly, Golden Turtle Island was showered with falling blossoms, and golden lotuses sprang from the earth.

The blossoming of the Great Dao had turned Golden Turtle Island into a veritable sacred ground for cultivation.

And all this was possible because of Wang Yang’s presence.

"Slaughter leads to damnation, from which there is no salvation! Yet slaughter is also eternal; malevolence too is a form of strength!"

Zhu Bajie, having listened for two days, began to cultivate directly within the Biyou Palace. Wang Yang saw this and said nothing; instead, he released the Daoist Charm from within himself for Zhu Bajie to comprehend.

Suddenly, the aura within the Biyou Palace surged, with countless streams of spiritual energy converging there, ultimately flowing into Qiye’s body.

Upon the surface of Zhu Bajie, a faint red aura began to emerge, reeking of blood and evoking images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, embodying endless slaughter!

But that was not the end. Wang Yang directly revealed the power of the Dao of Slaughter, suppressing Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie, who was on the verge of a complete breakthrough, suddenly felt a terrifying oppression.

Caught off guard, Zhu Bajie spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Daoist Wang Yang, what is this?"

The crowd was perplexed, as it seemed that Zhu Bajie was on the cusp of a breakthrough, so why had Wang Yang intervened and disrupted it.

"If one cannot hold on to their original heart, even after a breakthrough, they will merely be a slave to the Dao!"

Wang Yang didn’t respond directly to the crowd but addressed everyone with these words, also embedding a spell that could strike right at the heart of each listener.

In an instant, they all felt a jolt in their hearts.

They sought breakthroughs not just for the sake of it, but to master the Dao, not to become its slaves.

Zhu Bajie couldn’t help but show a relieved expression, exhaling a long breath.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"

Zhu Bajie sat down cross-legged, looking at Wang Yang and spoke.

This was not out of disrespect for Wang Yang. He understood that had he forced the breakthrough, he might have become a slave to the Dao.

And he could easily feel the opportunity for his breakthrough approaching.

With such talent, it was no wonder that the Ancestral Master of the Human Teachings Sect chose Zhu Bajie as one of his Third Generation Disciples, capable of surpassing most of those present.

At this moment, spiritual energy continued to flood into Qiye’s body. However, Zhu Bajie’s gaze had returned to normal.

Thanks to Wang Yang’s words, he began to feel more composed, and the breakthrough that followed seemed to happen as naturally as the flow of a river.

In fact, Zhu Bajie had not been cultivating for long.

Even his attainment of Taiyi Golden Immortal was reliant on the Golden Core of Daoist Ancestor Taiqing.

But this time, Zhu Bajie relied on his own strength.

As Zhu Bajie successfully broke through, the chaotic spiritual energy swirling around him also began to settle down gradually.

Zhu Bajie’s figure reappeared before the crowd, and while his presence hadn’t changed, there was an added indescribable charm, making him appear even more fierce and powerful.

"Good, for now, return and stabilize your cultivation level!"

The first to become a Quasi-Saint was Sun Wukong’s fellow disciple, Zhu Bajie, much to Wang Yang’s satisfaction.

After all, the members of the Calamity of Measurement from the Journey to the West were all too familiar to him.

Nevertheless, he did not stop his preaching because of this, nor did he regret that Zhu Bajie went to stabilize his cultivation instead of listening to the rest of the preaching.
