Chapter 601: Lu Yao's Past, the Origin of Purple Qi
Zheng has never been a fighter...
To be honest, he felt a little aggrieved - you wouldn't even let me die?
As if he could see through his frustration, Taoist Hongjun laughed, even gloating over his misfortune: "This world was created because of Jiuyaotian. In fact, the two are actually connected."
This is really a bummer.
He doesn't really care if he dies, he has plenty of life.
But if someone finds the entrance to the modern world, that would be a lot of fun.
On the one hand, he didn't know what his modern body would be like, and whether it would really affect his life or death.
On the other hand, the modern world is likely to face a major catastrophe.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wonder, "Hasn't the Taoist of Creation already occupied the Nine Lights Heaven? How come he doesn't know about the existence of the modern world?"
"There is still a place in Jiuyao Heaven that is beyond his control."
After hearing this, Zheng Fa suddenly had an idea and shouted, "Purple Sky Palace!"
Taoist Hongjun nodded slightly, confirming his guess, and said with a smile: "From what I have seen along the way, I can see that you have a deep affection for this world."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Fa turned his head to look at Tang Lingwu. Tang Lingwu should have understood and knew that the modern world might face a major crisis, but at this moment she was not nervous at all. She just smiled at him with comfort in her eyes.
How can there be no emotion?
"I..." Zheng Fa sighed, "If I had to choose between the two worlds, I... would choose this world."
The foundation of the Nine Mountains Realm, or the Xuanwei Realm, is certainly not unimportant to him.
Jiushan Sect is Zheng Fa's hard work. In the sect, there are senior sisters who share life and death with him, teachers who care about him and love him, and disciples who completely trust him. These are all very important.
But the modern world has too special a meaning for Zhengfa.
"This is the place I truly consider home." Facing Taoist Hongjun's gaze, Zheng Fa unconsciously expressed his deepest feelings: "Only here can I worry about nothing."
As his experience grew, Zheng Fa certainly saw the shortcomings of the modern world. It could even be said that there were still many shortcomings and it was by no means a perfect place.
But for him, his early experiences, the education he received, and the people he met have all filtered his view of this.
He has even been cautious and unwilling to disturb the development of the modern world too much. Even though he is called the Taoist Ancestor, he is still restraining himself.
Essentially, he didn't know whether his ideas would bring disaster to the modern world, so he adopted a hands-off approach.
Just as Hongjun Daoist said, what Zheng Fa does most in the modern world is actually to provide a bottom line for everyone:
Let ordinary people have enough food and clothing.
Make education accessible to talented young people.
Allow scholars with knowledge in their heads and ideas in their hearts to give full play to their strengths.
Apart from this, he did almost nothing. It can even be said that he did not dare to do anything and was unwilling to destroy the beauty of this world.
But the modern world that he cherishes so much is about to welcome the Taoist Master of Fortune?
Taoist Zaohua is not picky about food, he eats everything!
How can Zheng Fa not feel aggrieved?
"Having obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi, can we prevent the Taoist of Creation from finding the modern world?"
"This isn't the effect of the Hongmeng Purple Qi. It's just that the Hongmeng Purple Qi itself is untraceable. If it hadn't obscured the entrance to this world...how could this world be so peaceful?"
Zheng Fa was somewhat puzzled by Taoist Hongjun's explanation, and couldn't help but ask again: "Daoist Ancestor, what is the use of Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
He hadn't asked about this before because he had actually prepared for the worst and therefore didn't take it that seriously.
But now Zheng Fa has changed his mind, so naturally he wants to find out the truth.
Hongjun did not answer but asked, "Do you have a grudge against that Golden Crow?"
"Daozu, are you talking about Lu Yao?" Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment before replying, "To be honest, we haven't really met each other. The main reason we had a dispute was because of the Fusang tree."
"The Fusang tree represents a life-and-death vengeance."
Seeing Zheng Fa's confusion, Taoist Hongjun smiled and said, "Do you know the origins of Lu Yao?"
Although Zheng Fa didn't know why he asked this, he nodded and said, "This person has reincarnated four times. The first life should be the Demon King, which is what Daozu mentioned as the Golden Crow."
"Later, he reincarnated into the human race and founded Haori Mountain, one of the Five Xuanwei Sects of later generations."
"For some unknown reason, he transformed into the original demon ancestor."
"I have entered Buddhism again in this life."
As Zheng Fa spoke, he also felt that Lu Yao was a very hardworking and tenacious person.
"In his first life, he came into contact with the Hongmeng Purple Qi."
Zheng Fa was surprised. Is Lu Yao's luck so strong?
No wonder he was able to become the Demon King in his first life.
"Or rather, he knew about the Hongmeng Purple Qi, but couldn't obtain it." Taoist Hongjun looked at Zheng Fa and asked, "Do you know why?"
Zheng Fa suddenly had an idea in his mind: "Human? He is not human? Only humans can obtain Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
Taoist Hongjun showed a slight smile on his face, as if to say that the boy is teachable.
Only then did Zheng Fa understand why Lu Yao reincarnated for the first time - it was to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi!
For the sake of Hongmeng Purple Qi, Lu Yao gave up his body as the Demon King and turned to rob the human race. With the help of his previous foundation, he founded Haori Mountain. His goal was probably to obtain Hongmeng Purple Qi.
"Then he later reincarnated as the original Demon Ancestor..." Zheng Fa murmured, "was it also for this reason?"
"How did you get on the futon?"
Zheng Fa fell into recollection: "I helped Nuwa create humans, gained merit, and then comprehended the Huangting Neijing..."
"He's almost there then."
almost?
Zheng Fa was a little confused. If they were similar, then he created the "Huangting Sutra" and the other party created the Dharmakaya Method, so they were somewhat similar.
But I also took advantage of the merit of creating humans...
wrong!
Zheng Fa suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but want to shout "Fuck".
The original demon ancestor destroyed the world.
The human race in Xuanwei today can all be said to be descendants of the Demon Ancestor.
First he killed all the people, and then started to reproduce. If you insist, can this be considered as creating humans, the original demon ancestor?
At first, Zheng Fa thought that this was to deal with the decline of spiritual energy, but later, as his understanding of spiritual energy deepened, he felt that something was wrong.
Looking back now...
He was recognized by the first group of humans.
So, Lu Yao's actions at least gained the recognition of all human beings in Xuanwei?
It's really a bit sexy.
"That Golden Crow has gone through three lifetimes. Although he didn't come to Zixiao Palace to listen to teachings, he also grasped the Hongmeng Purple Qi in his palm."
Zheng Fa could also understand this.
On the one hand, Lu Yao seems to have a deep understanding of Hongmeng Purple Qi and has made so many preparations. As long as he opens the Zixiao Palace to listen to the teachings, there is a high probability that he will obtain Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Even if he couldn't get it, Lu Yao probably wouldn't be in a hurry - Jiuyaotian has always been in his hands.
Zheng Fa doesn't feel so wronged now. No matter how wronged he is, can he be as wronged as Lu Yao?
In his first life, he obtained the Fusang wood in the form of a golden crow.
In his second life, he was reincarnated as the first ancestor of Hao Ri. He must have been accumulating experience before he created the Dharmakaya method in his third life.
Just as the three worlds were about to unite into one and obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi... Venerable Tianhe came and with one sword strike, the Jiuyao Sky split open, and it was estimated that Lu Yao would be torn apart as well.
Zheng Fa felt somewhat fortunate. If it were not for modern concepts, if it were not for modern research on biology, if it were not for the Jiushan Sect's research on the spiritual root system, how could he have cultivated the Fusang tree, perfected the "Huangting Sutra", and even helped Nuwa create humans in such a short time?
It can be said that he completed the journey that took Lu Yao three lifetimes to complete in a hundred years.
Lu Yao didn't even give up, but left behind the Dharma body of the Primordial Demon Ancestor, waiting to open the Nine Lights Heaven in the future.
This made Zheng Fa even more curious - what exactly is the legendary foundation for becoming a saint, the Hongmeng Purple Qi, that makes Lu Yao attach so much importance to it?
"Daozu, you said that this primordial purple energy is only accessible to humans... Could it be that this primordial purple energy exists specifically for humans?"
"No." Zheng Fa was stunned by Hongjun Taoist's answer, but what he said next was unexpected, "There is more than one."
"There's more than just this one?" Zheng Fa immediately understood what Taoist Hongjun meant. "Is the Hongmeng Purple Qi born because of the human race?"
Taoist Hongjun nodded slowly, but Zheng Fa felt that his idea of Hongmeng Purple Qi was completely overturned.
He knew that the human race was special, but he didn't expect that the human race was so special...
"A saint is actually a special Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian." Taoist Hongjun explained, "The reason why they are so special is because of the Hongmeng purple energy."
"And the Hongmeng Purple Qi was originally born because of the human race, or in other words, it was born from the spread and deduction of Taoism."
Zheng Fa didn't understand at first, but later he understood.
The achievement of the Six Saints of Nuwa is closely related to the human race.
There is no need to mention Nuwa, as for Taishang Tongtian Zhunti and others, according to later legends, they also founded religions and became saints.
In essence, they all spread the Taoism passed down by Hongjun to the human race.
It is precisely because of this that Taoist Hongjun said that saints are special Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. It is also because of this that the special thing is that the saints’ enlightenment is closely related to the human race.
"So, this last ray of primordial purple energy is actually for the human race?" Zheng Fa finally figured it out a little. "But why is the human race so special?"
“Because Heaven’s Way is incomplete.”
Zheng Fa was confused again by what Taoist Hongjun said.
"Or perhaps it could be said that the Heavenly Dao itself needs to grow, and the human race was created for the growth of the Heavenly Dao."
After listening to Taoist Hongjun's explanation, Zheng Fa finally pieced together the cause and effect.
"Whether it's me preaching, Nuwa creating humans, or even Taishang and his group establishing religions, it's all because they want to fill the flaws of the Way of Heaven, or in other words, perfect the Way of Heaven."
"The human race is our tool to complete the way of heaven."
"The way of heaven is imperfect..."
Hongjun suddenly looked at Zheng Fa and asked, "Did they all give you their inheritance treasures?"
Zheng Fa nodded, knowing that Taoist Hongjun was talking about the golden lotus and other items given by Zhunti and others.
"I haven't given up yet after fighting till now."
Zheng Fa didn't quite understand what he was saying and looked at Taoist Hongjun.
"They have different views on the incompleteness of Heaven's Way, and even their plans for the future of humanity are contradictory."
As Zheng Fa listened, he felt that the inherited treasures in his hands were a little hot.
"The Supreme One will establish a human religion in the future. He believes that as long as the human race is allowed to develop naturally, it will be fine. Forcing things too much will be bad. It is better to follow the way of heaven."
Zheng Fa could also understand the idea of tranquility and inaction. In modern times, he actually had some of the same ideas.
"But Yuanshi is different. He hopes that the human race can learn from the sages of the past and make use of talented people to guide the way of heaven in a positive direction."
Zheng Fa also thought it made sense. The philosophy he promoted in Jiushan Sect was more inclined towards this.
He also understood that the biggest issue in the conflict between Tai Shang and Yuan Shi was: what is good and what is bad?
What Yuanshi considers to be good talent or kindness, in Taishang's view, is forced and may lead to going astray.
"So, the Sage Tongtian teaches all beings without distinction, and all beings are equal?"
Taoist Hongjun nodded slightly and continued, "He disagrees with Yuanshi Liangcai's theory. On the other hand, he feels that since the Way of Heaven is incomplete, there's no need to worry too much about it. He even wants to rely on the human race to break the old and establish the new, believing that without this, it will be difficult to achieve real progress."
Zheng Fa felt like a weak-willed scumbag, but he also felt that Tongtian's ideas were more to his liking.
He became curious again: "What about the two saints Zhunti?"
"They..." Taoist Hongjun had a complicated expression. "They are not to my liking, but they are also people with great perseverance."
He glanced at Zheng Fa, shook his head, and said, "They don't want to complete the Heavenly Dao, but rather want to use the human race and my Dao to create a paradise."
"In the ancient world, there has never been a distinction between East and West. Those in the East follow the righteous path of Pangu, while those in the West follow the side path."
Zheng Fa was stunned after hearing this, and only then did he fully understand the teachings of the two Western saints - in one word, Run!
Take the destined people from Honghuang together!
Since the ancient way of heaven is incomplete, they will rely on their own hands to create the paradise of their dreams!
Not to mention Taoist Hongjun, even Zheng Fa found it outrageous and admirable - these two people had such perseverance, they really deserved to become saints.
“Who do you think is right?”
"I..." Zheng Fa thought for a long time, then shook his head honestly, "I don't know."
To be honest, with his knowledge, he felt that the ideas of each of these six saints made sense!
"You have to know." Taoist Hongjun said slowly, "The seventh primordial purple energy, you can call it the position of human saint."
"You can also call it the Saint of the Dharma Ending Age."
"The Saint of the Dharma Ending Age?"
"This primordial purple energy determines the maturity of the human race's Daoist system." Taoist Hongjun said, "Or, in other words, it marks the end of Zixiao Palace's Daoist system."
This Dharma Ending Age?
No wonder the Five Saints gave the inherited treasure to me.
"So, Zheng Daozu, you have to choose."
To be honest, Zheng Fa felt a lot of pressure.
“Not only do you have to choose, but it doesn’t necessarily belong to you until you truly attain enlightenment.”
These words reminded Zheng Fa of the legendary unlucky guy Hong Yun.
As if seeing what he was thinking, Hongjun sighed, "Hongyun is not a human. He was killed by Donghuang Taiyi and the Hongmeng Purple Qi was taken away. Donghuang Taiyi knew that he could not use this purple energy himself, and he did not want the human race to have another saint, so he could only hide it in the Fusang tree."
"...Fuso tree?"
Taoist Hongjun looked at Zheng Fa and said, "Or should I say, you and that Lu Yao are sworn enemies?"
