Fang Jian from Earth became an immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Not only does he have a golden finger, but the Jade Emperor also values him.
So do you think Fang Jian will pretend to ...
As a bystander, Fang Jian saw that the Jade Emperor received an invitation from the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, asking him to go to the Three Pure Ones to determine the catastrophe and preach the Tao.
Also receiving the invitation were Tathagata Buddha and Wuliang Zumo. Fang Jian saw that after everyone entered the Three Pure Ones Realm, the Supreme Taoist Ancestor explained everything first.
"The reason I invite all of you fellow Taoists to come to the Three Purities Treasure Realm is not actually to perform the Dao to determine the catastrophe. I am afraid of revealing the secret, so I invite all of you fellow Taoists here in the name of performing the Dao to determine the catastrophe." The Supreme Taoist Ancestor said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Wuliang Zumo immediately asked, "Then what is the important matter that has caused the Supreme Daoist to invite us to the Three Pure Ones Realm?"
The Supreme Daoist Ancestor smiled faintly and said, "My fellow Daoists, when we have reached this stage of cultivation, disputes over sects and ideologies are meaningless. We have long since severed our past, present, and future lives, transcended the Heavenly Dao, and mastered the mystical Dao. All we seek is the highest realm of the Dao."
Hearing the words of the Supreme Daoist, the Jade Emperor, the Tathagata Buddha, and the Infinite Demon Ancestors all looked surprised. The Tathagata Buddha said, "Could it be that you, the Supreme Daoist..."
The Supreme Daoist Ancestor nodded slightly and said, "I have already touched a glimpse of the 'Supreme Dao Realm' and am about to take that step."
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor immediately advised, "Daoist Taishang, you might as well meditate for a while longer before taking that step. Back then, fellow Daoists Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji were at a higher level than us, but after they took that step, no trace of them remained within the Great Dao."
Although no one knows whether the five people mentioned by the Jade Emperor succeeded after taking that step, no one knows what the atmosphere of the highest realm is like.
But for people at their level, there is a very good reference, that is the Tao. After those five people took that step, there was no trace of them in the Tao, which was enough to show that they all failed.
The Supreme Daoist Ancestor said, "When Daoist Fellow Taiyi was alive, the Great Dao was formless and nameless, without light or form, and was silent and desolate. Since Daoist Fellow Taiyi took that step, the Great Dao became clear, and Taichu was born."
"When Fellow Daoist Taichu arrived, the Great Dao was in name only, and nothing existed. Since Fellow Daoist Taichu took that step, the Great Dao has both name and reality, and all things have come into being. Therefore, Taishi was born."
"When Taoist Taishi was alive, Yin and Yang merged and became one. However, the Heavenly Dao was simple and pure, with form but no substance, so it could not be cultivated. Since Taoist Taishi took that step, 'oneness' was created, the One Yuan was born, and Taisu was born."
"During the time of Daoist Fellow Tai Su, the Heavenly Dao had form and substance, but it had not yet become a body. Although it could be cultivated, it could not be realized. So Daoist Fellow Tai Su took that step, and then Yin and Yang separated, and the One Qi began to be born. Chaos took shape, and the Heavenly Dao manifested. At this point, Tai Chi was born."
"During the time of Taoist Taiji, the Way of Heaven was manifested, and chaos took shape. However, before the chaos was judged, it could not appear in the world, and the Way of Heaven could not be promoted. Therefore, Taoist Taiji took that step, and then the chaos was judged, Pangu was born, the heaven and the earth were created, and the three gave birth to all things. From then on, the Way of Heaven was promoted, and the cultivation of Hunyuan was realized, and it lasted forever."
What the Supreme Taoist Patriarch said before is the process of the 'birth' and 'formation' of the three realms: the Great Dao, the Heavenly Dao, the Chaos, and the present world. The Five Innate Tai are the five most important predecessors in this process.
Even the last Tai Chi of the Five Innate Tais had never been seen by the Supreme Taoist Ancestor himself. All the people present had only glimpsed a glimpse of information about the Five Innate Tais from the mysteries of the Great Dao after they had attained the Three Purities Realm.
Please note that the above is only a "trace" of information about the Five Pre-Heavenly Ones, because the Five Pre-Heavenly Ones have already taken that step, and there is no trace of them left within the Great Dao. Therefore, apart from the mystery of the Great Dao, there is no other information about the Five Pre-Heavenly Ones.
After the Supreme Daoist Ancestor had explained the information of the Five Innate Great Ones, he said to the Jade Emperor and the other two, "Now, it is my turn to take this step. If I fail, my avatar will correct my mistakes. If I succeed by chance and gain a glimpse of the profound mysteries of the Dao Realm, then I will be worthy of the name 'Daozu'."
Speaking of this, the Taoism of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor is vast and profound, the Supreme Taoist is ruthless, and the Taoism is infinite. What a great ancestor of the Taoism.
At this moment, the disputes among Taoism, Buddhism and the devil, the disputes among believers, the disputes among teachings, the disputes between nothingness and existence, are all just mirages and fleeting clouds.
Only the pursuit of the ultimate truth and wonderful Dharma, only the exploration of the mysteries of the higher realm, and the pursuit of all truths and ultimate principles, that is the true and eternal meaning of those who practice.
Therefore, the Supreme Daoist Ancestor could not wait, nor could he wait. He had already touched the mystery of the highest realm of the Dao, and he could not wait to pursue and seek it!
The Jade Emperor, Tathagata Buddha, and the Infinite Ancestral Demons knew that the Supreme Daoist Ancestor had made up his mind, so they stopped trying to persuade him. However, Tathagata Buddha said, "Since the Supreme Daoist Ancestor has left, someone must take his place."
The Supreme Daoist Patriarch smiled and said, "In my opinion, this person is not decided by me. Let them fight for the opportunity to become the Daoist Patriarch on their own."
Therefore, the Supreme Daoist Ancestor and others sealed off the Three Pure Ones' Treasure Realm in the name of the catastrophe, and did not even reveal the secret of heaven themselves, but let the Heavenly Dao reveal the secret, and see who has this great opportunity.
Unsurprisingly, Dou Mu Yuanjun and Yang Mei Laozu were the first to receive the opportunity bestowed by heaven, followed by Ziwei Emperor.
Therefore, in the entire Heavenly Dao, only these three people obtained the secret of the 'Upper Realm'. Remember, this is only the secret of the Upper Realm, not the secret of the 'Ancestor of Dao', because the Heavenly Dao did not state it clearly.
What followed was a series of plans by Patriarch Yangmei, Doumu Yuanjun, Emperor Ziwei and others regarding the catastrophe. For Doumu Yuanjun and Patriarch Yangmei, the catastrophe was just an opportunity for them to achieve a higher realm, not a goal.
Then, Fang Jian also saw the empty cushion of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor. He didn't know how the Supreme Taoist Ancestor took that step, and with his current level of Taoism, he couldn't understand or see it at all.
