To impart the Great Dao was no empty promise.
In fact, immediately after concluding his conversation with Di Jiang, Li Chunjun summoned Liu Yu.
"I will deliver the Dao and preach the Dao in thirty years," Li Chunjun announced. "During this time, I will expound upon dozens of Great Daos, including the Void, Destruction, Reincarnation, and Devour. Anyone with talent and perseverance is welcome to attend."
He continued, "Given the thirty-year timeframe, travel within the Void Great World will likely remain inconvenient. Therefore, I will hold the preaching at the Profound Yellow Sect in the Profound Yellow Great World. You will be responsible for coordinating the arrangements."
"Preaching the Dao..." Liu Yu replied.
Liu Yu wasn't surprised by Li Chunjun's decision. Most Dao Venerables chose to preach the Dao after achieving dao unification. This served both to announce the birth of a new Dao Unifier to the world and to reinforce their own understanding through teaching.
"Understood. I will coordinate the arrangements with the Profound Yellow Sect." Liu Yu nodded.
She then asked, "Are there any restrictions on who may attend the preaching?"
Some Dao Venerables preached the Dao as an act of benevolence toward the lower realms.
On the other hand, it was also to find a suitable Heaven's Chosen to inherit his mantle.
Therefore, among those who came to listen to the Dao, the Dao Venerable's Personal Disciples and even the core heirs of the great sects were often excluded from the audience.
"There are no restrictions," Li Chunjun stated bluntly. "Anyone may attend the lecture."
"Anyone may attend?!" Liu Yu exclaimed in surprise.
Li Chunjun's magnanimity was truly remarkable.
"I will contact the False God Hall to announce this to the world. You only need to handle the coordination and logistics," Li Chunjun instructed.
He added, "I hope there will be no unexpected incidents or disturbances during this period."
Liu Yu's expression turned solemn.
It was clear that Dao Venerable Li attached great importance to this lecture.
While theoretically every listener would cherish the opportunity to hear the Dao Venerable's teachings a hundredfold, and no one would dare cause trouble in such a sacred setting, Dao Venerable Li's specific emphasis on this matter underscored the significance he placed on the event. Under these circumstances, Liu Yu, as the one responsible for coordination and logistics, naturally had to devote her utmost attention to the task.
"Go ahead. Wu Chen from the Profound Yellow Sect will assist you with manpower," Li Chunjun said.
After giving these instructions, he divided a portion of his Heart-Mind and entered the False God Realm, contacting Dao Venerable Xu Yun and Great Evolution Supreme Sovereign.
The two were surprised by Li Chunjun's sudden appearance.
Great Evolution Supreme Sovereign asked, "Dao Venerable Li, are you seeking our Hall Master? Could there be something wrong with the Great Dao Crystals the Hall Master provided?"
"It's not about the Great Dao Crystals," Li Chunjun replied. "I have a message that needs to be widely disseminated through the False God Hall's channels in the False God Realm."
"I will cover all necessary expenses," he added.
"Dao Venerable Li, you're too kind," Great Evolution Supreme Sovereign said with a smile. "For a Dao Venerable to entrust the False God Realm with spreading your message is both an honor and a testament to our credibility."
"What message do you wish to promote, Venerable?"
"Thirty years from now, I will deliver a lecture on the Dao in the Profound Yellow Great World," Li Chunjun repeated the words he had spoken to Liu Yu.
Upon hearing this, both Great Evolution Supreme Sovereign and Dao Venerable Xu Yun's pupils constricted simultaneously.
A lecture on the Dao?!
Xu Yun pressed eagerly, "Will Dao Venerable expound on the mysteries of the void great dao?"
"There will be a general overview, but no detailed explanations or inheritances will be imparted during the lecture," Li Chunjun stated directly. "Unless someone catches my eye and is accepted as my disciple, they will naturally receive my full inheritance."
Xu Yun and Great Evolution exchanged glances, both fully aware of the profound impact Li Chunjun's upcoming lecture would have on the entire Human Race.
What particularly astonished them was the Dao Venerable's decision to teach without discrimination.
Not only would ordinary cultivators be welcome, but even the Dao Venerable's personal disciples would be eligible to attend—a revelation that left them deeply shaken.
It was clear that Li Chunjun's current prestige and popularity within the False God Realm and across the Human Race meant that news of this lecture would ignite unprecedented fervor throughout the False God Realm and Human Territory.
Especially considering...
With thirty years until the event, even cultivators from distant regions should be able to reach the Profound Yellow Great World, barring those in border areas.
The scale and spectacle of the gathering would undoubtedly be beyond imagination.
Even if Xu Yun and Great Evolution had wanted to refuse, they couldn't suppress the overwhelming momentum of this event.
Moreover, Li Chunjun stood right before them. With the Hall Master having already declared the False God Hall's neutrality, how could they possibly refuse?
Great Evolution Supreme Sovereign immediately declared, "Dao Venerable Li, rest assured. Over the next thirty years, this news will reach every corner of the Human Territory."
Xu Yun smiled and added, "With Dao Venerable Li's current popularity, this news will set the entire Human Race ablaze. I can hardly wait for the grand spectacle that will unfold thirty years from now."
Li Chunjun nodded to both of them. "Thank you for your efforts."
After discussing the details further, Li Chunjun's dao heart divine departed the False God Realm.
He then meticulously began compiling his understanding of the twenty-three great Daos.
While his comprehension of these Daos might not be particularly profound or refined—each barely reaching the standard for dao unification—his sheer breadth of knowledge was unmatched.
In the world of Daos, every path is interconnected.
Someone who has mastered twenty-three lower-tier Daos and three to five upper-tier Daos will ultimately possess a Dao understanding far surpassing that of someone who has only mastered the latter.
Of course, this comparison holds true within the Void Refining Realm.
Such knowledge would be largely useless at the Dao Venerable level.
However, Li Chunjun's lectures were primarily aimed at listeners in the Void Refining Realm. Even if Dao Venerables were to send their Avatars to attend...
He wouldn't care.
"Completely eradicating all Foreign Races from the War Commission's records should allow me to reach Level 47. While the current Dao Venerables can manage the transition from Level 47 to 48, even combining all the Supreme Sovereigns in the world wouldn't provide enough cultivation experience for Level 48 to 49."
Li Chunjun understood this clearly.
Without enough Level 42 Supreme Sovereigns to push his Life Level to 49, what could he do?
The answer was simple: cultivate them!
He would use the most straightforward method: cultivate them himself!
He would spread the Dao throughout the world!
Leveraging the advantages of his Life Level, he would compile scriptures, disseminate the Dao, and cultivate a sufficient number of Dao Venerables.
With a larger pool of Dao Venerables, the emergence of Supreme Sovereigns would naturally become more frequent.
As the number of Supreme Sovereigns increased, the probability of birthing Ultimate Powerhouses would also rise dramatically.
At that point, advancing from Level 48 to 49 and from Level 49 to 50 would become feasible.
His ultimate goal was to elevate his Life Level to 51, glimpsing the realm that might be "Ascension to Immortality."
This ambition...
Whether it involved cultivating vast numbers of Dao Venerables, Supreme Sovereigns, or Ultimate Powerhouses, it was clear this would be no easy task.
The time required could stretch into tens of millions, hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions of years.
Even Li Chunjun himself couldn't be certain he could achieve this goal, nor whether he could endure until that moment.
Ages measured in billions of years...
It was an eternity.
All he knew was that he had to act.
Only by constantly acting, by relentlessly pursuing his goal, could he reassure himself that he hadn't stopped, that he was still striving, thereby maintaining his inner peace.
Li Chunjun hadn't yet finished drafting the "teaching plan" he intended to use at his Dao lecture thirty years from now when Xing Wu arrived with news.
The Starry Sky Group had agreed to fully cooperate in his campaign to exterminate the Foreign Races.
However, to ensure the smooth deployment of their teleportation technology, the Starry Sky Group sent not a Dao Venerable to accompany him, but a Supreme Sovereign: Yuan Yin, the group's executive director.
This Supreme Sovereign, along with representatives from the Supreme Research Institute, War Commission, Immortal Alliance, and other major factions, had already received word of the deal Li Chunjun had struck with False God Hall.
Upon learning that False God Hall had obtained the inheritance of the void great dao, these factions naturally couldn't remain idle.
While the War Commission's special envoy remained Xing Wu, the Immortal Alliance had dispatched Supreme Sovereign Yuan Yin himself to the field.
This development made it clear that the Nine Great Institutions' scrutiny of Li Chunjun had intensified significantly.
Li Chunjun, however, remained unconcerned.
With the Starry Sky Group's technology in place, he quickly compiled a list of targets for extermination.
Dozens of weaker Foreign Races were listed one by one on the roster.
Although none of the listed factions had reached the Dao Unification Realm, neither the War Commission nor the Starry Sky Group were surprised.
Wiping out Foreign Races single-handedly naturally required a gradual approach, starting with the easiest targets and progressing to the more challenging ones.
Li Chunjun's initial selection of weaker Foreign Races was entirely logical.
Therefore, while they longed to witness Li Chunjun's Dao Unification War against the Foreign Races firsthand, they couldn't justify modifying the roster.
From then on, Li Chunjun devoted all his energy to exterminating the Foreign Races.
Since he hadn't truly attained Dao Unification, he could enter the Great World in his "true body." The Ninth-Tier and Quasi-Tenth-Tier Foreign Races he targeted had nowhere to hide and were annihilated with ruthless efficiency.
One race, three races, ten races, thirty races...
Li Chunjun spared none.
He ignored Seventh-Rank and Eighth-Rank Foreign Races, but showed no mercy to those at the Ninth-Tier and Quasi-Tenth-Tier, leaving a trail of severed heads across the outer domain.
For a short time, Xing Wu and Yuan Yin, Li Chunjun's fellow Dao Venerables, tolerated his aggressive tactics. But after three years, when Li Chunjun had annihilated over a hundred Foreign Race tribes, Xing Wu couldn't hold back any longer.
"Dao Venerable Li," Xing Wu asked, his voice filled with skepticism, "are you truly eliminating these Ninth-Tier Foreign Races yourself to eliminate their threat to the Human Race? If so, we have far better methods for some tribes—methods that would make them turn on each other. Why must you personally intervene?"
The Dao Venerable from the War Commission looked genuinely puzzled.
"What's wrong with me intervening personally?" Li Chunjun countered. "I possess the strength to do so. If spending a little extra time to annihilate more Foreign Races can make the Human Territory safer and spare more cultivators from dying on the battlefield, why wouldn't I?"
He added casually, "If I lacked the ability, that would be one thing. But to possess the power and refuse to act? What kind of leader of the Human Race would that make me? What about the greater good of humanity?"
Xing Wu and Yuan Yin exchanged uneasy glances.
They couldn't shake the feeling that Li Chunjun was subtly criticizing them.
Fortunately, Li Chunjun continued, "Of course, the Heavenly Treasures within the Foreign Race territories are also a factor. Did you see the message I had the False God Hall send out? I plan to establish my own sect. And if I'm going to establish a sect, I naturally need to gather cultivation resources for my future disciples."
He smiled wryly. "Unlike you, who have the backing of the Nine Great Institutions and countless ways to generate wealth, I have no such advantages. My only strength lies in my cultivation and my ability to enter the Foreign Race great worlds with my true body. Naturally, I must leverage these advantages to accumulate resources for my sect."
Hearing this, Xing Wu and Yuan Yin felt considerably relieved.
They were much more at ease now.
