After hundreds of Yuans, Ding Yun had not yet succeeded in completely refining the World Law Sea. However, with the help of the Creation Jade Disk and her own cultivation, she had completely suppressed the World Law Sea and successfully usurped this world's control authority over all areas except for the Celestial Realm and the Underworld Realm, which were hidden by the world consciousness.
With the Celestial Realm and the Underworld Realm yet to appear, she had no problem declaring herself the ruler of the world.
And this was enough for her to proceed with the next steps. Therefore, Ding Yun left the Creation Jade Disk, which had been refined by her main body and her accompanying supreme treasure, within the World Law Sea to continue suppressing and refining it.
She herself then departed from the World Law Sea.
Revealing her cultivation at the Extreme Realm and activating the complete Heavenly Dao network, she not only radiated her aura across the entire Eternal World but also created endless auspicious phenomena that influenced the entire Eternal World. For instance, countless stars shone brightly, scattering condensed liquid-like innate spiritual fluid downwards, and innate spiritual energy gathered into blooming Dao Enlightenment Golden Lotuses, filling the world. In addition, auspicious clouds, golden light, wondrous sounds, and profound rhymes were countless.
Almost all living beings, upon feeling this terrifying pressure, involuntarily knelt down while also receiving some benefits. The lower the cultivation, the greater the benefits.
Some experienced direct increases of one or two major realms.
Even the innate gods and demons who had already reached the Grand Unity realm saw progress in their cultivation and comprehension under the influence and promotion of the countless Dao Enlightenment Golden Lotuses and profound rhymes.
"I am the Heavenly Dao. I have now attained the Dao and hold dominion over the heavens and earth for education. Therefore, I shall lecture on the twenty-fourth heaven.
Those with destiny may all come to the twenty-fourth heaven to listen to the Dao.
The lecture will begin after one Yuan!"
Since there was no Heavenly Dao in this world and the entire Heavenly Dao network was built by Ding Yun herself, there was absolutely no problem with her claiming to be the Heavenly Dao.
Using the Heavenly Dao network to spread these words to all beings in the world, Ding Yun immediately used her great divine power to break through the concealment of the world consciousness, forcibly causing the twenty-fourth heaven to reappear.
Although Ding Yun did not personally participate in the construction of the Nine Heavens back then, she had ample time to place some hidden arrangements within them. Coupled with her current high cultivation, it was naturally very easy to find the Celestial Realm, which had evolved from the Nine Heavens into the Twenty-Four Heavens.
However, the Underworld Realm was not so easy to find. After all, it had been hidden before its emergence and had never revealed itself. While Ding Yun could forcefully find it, it was unnecessary and not needed for the time being.
With the reappearance of the Twenty-Four Heavens, all beings understood why the Heavenly Dao that had just attained the Dao had told them to go to the Twenty-Four Heavens, a place they had never heard of before, to listen to the Dao. It turned out that such a Celestial Realm truly existed in the world, but they had never known about it, and it had not yet emerged.
And causing the Celestial Realm to reappear was merely the first step for Ding Yun.
In the next moment, she flashed to the sky above the Twenty-Four Heavens, opened the world barrier above, and drew in a large amount of chaotic energy from the outside. Then, she unleashed the technique of separating heaven and earth, using that chaotic energy as a foundation to create another outer heaven above the Twenty-Four Heavens, and within this outer heaven, she constructed the Heavenly Dao Palace.
This was where Ding Yun intended to lecture.
Although moving the lecture venue outside the world, into the chaos, might seem more prestigious, preventing those with lower cultivation from entering, Ding Yun truly did not want to learn from Patriarch Hongjun by first accepting disciples and then waiting for them to mature and become saints before having them preach.
That would be too much of a waste of time.
Ding Yun's plan was to lecture to everyone at once. She intended to let all beings in the world listen. Not only would she lecture, but she would also establish a new cultivation system, define realm divisions, and so on. It would be more convenient for dissemination if everyone listened together.
Although there were many living beings in the entire Eternal World now, the Twenty-Four Heavens were also vast.
They could accommodate so many beings.
If, after doing all this, they still couldn't make it in time for the lecture, then it could only be considered that they had fate but no connection.
After all, the difficulty had been lowered too much, and they were even given a full Yuan to travel.
…
While Ding Yun was arranging the Celestial Realm, the outer heaven, and the Heavenly Dao Palace, all beings in the Eternal World were abuzz with excitement due to her previous actions. Countless people discussed and exchanged ideas with each other. Those with lower cultivation even called their friends and headed towards the Celestial Realm in advance.
The innate gods and demons living in famous mountains and great rivers were no different.
Of course, compared to those who knew almost nothing about Ding Yun, the survivors of the era of gods and demons and the era of the three tribes were undoubtedly discussing more passionately and with more internal conflict.
Within the barrier of the Eternal World, dozens of intermediate worlds hung. At this moment, the lords of those dozens of intermediate worlds gathered in the Creation World, discussing as they had in previous years.
"Is the transformation in power after attaining the Dao so immense?"
After feeling Ding Yun's terrifying pressure, all the Daoists and gods and demons present were somewhat bewildered. They had always thought that the power after attaining the Dao would be roughly equivalent to that of Ancestral Dragon with the Ten Thousand Dragon Array amplified. However, the pressure displayed by Ding Yun now far surpassed that of Ancestral Dragon with the Ten Thousand Dragon Array amplified, even surpassing it in a crushing manner.
"Perhaps the first one to attain the Dao is special."
"Never mind that. Regardless, it is certain that the other party possesses power far exceeding ours. Now, the main points we need to discuss are whether to go and listen to the lecture, and what she will lecture about. Is there a possibility she will impart the method of attaining the Dao? These are the key points we need to discuss!"
"Perhaps we can also discuss her identity?"
"We must go and listen to the lecture. No matter what she lectures about, we must go and listen. After all, she is lecturing to all beings in the entire world this time. If she doesn't present something truly capable and profound, how can she convince the masses!"
"That makes sense. Going to listen to the lecture will surely yield some gains. If there are truly no gains, then it is she who loses face, and we will have merely wasted some time."
"Indeed, indeed. Then it is decided."
"By the way, if I'm not mistaken, the Heavenly Dao that has attained the Dao now is the same one who easily suppressed and destroyed the God of Destruction Demons at the end of the War of the Three Tribes and determined the final outcome of the three tribes, right? What do you think is her relationship with the Yin-Yang God Demon? And why is the Yin-Yang God Demon's accompanying supreme treasure in her hands?"
"I don't know. Now I'm even starting to doubt if the Dao transformation of the Yin-Yang God Demon back then had anything to do with her!"
"Alas, this Heavenly Dao is too mysterious and unfathomable. I have lived from the beginning of the ancient era of gods and demons until now, yet I have only seen her twice. The first time was at the end of the War of the Three Tribes, and the second time was just now. She is too mysterious!"
"Alas..."
Although the Spirit Lord's sigh was abrupt, no one paid it any mind. Only the Spirit Lord himself knew that the mission had failed.
That Heavenly Dao had beaten him to it.
