This method is not simply about concealing heavenly secrets, but rather about using great magical power to disrupt them, causing others to find the heavenly secrets in complete chaos when they try to divine them, just like during a great eon. Note the wording here: it is "disrupt," not "conceal." In situations where even sages cannot divine, the heavenly secrets during a great eon are indeed chaotic. When innate spiritual treasures appear, only matters concerning those treasures are concealed in the heavenly secrets. When sages use magic, they only conceal certain people or events, without causing chaos in the heavenly secrets.
The method Xuan Tian Shi used was something even other sages couldn't perform. It required not only high Taoist cultivation and excellent magical treasures (at least innate supreme treasures), but also a profound understanding of cause and effect. Laozi possessed both Taoist cultivation and magical treasures, but he lacked a deep understanding of cause and effect. Although sages often told their disciples not to get involved in cause and effect, they only had a general concept of it and didn't truly understand it. Besides, sages themselves don't get involved in cause and effect; if they do, it's only among sages. The theory of cause and effect was proposed by later Buddhists, which is now known as Western religion. Although the two Western sages understood this very well, they lacked suitable magical treasures.
After Xuan Tian cast his spell, the other sages felt that the heavenly secrets had become blurred again, and they were all greatly alarmed. Previously, they had only foreseen the birth of a primordial spiritual treasure, but this time they felt that the heavenly secrets were in complete chaos. This puzzled everyone. Such a situation only occurred during a great calamity, and now that the great calamity had just ended more than two thousand years ago, how could this situation occur? Unable to figure it out, the sages had no choice but to scan the Three Realms with their divine senses in the hope of making some discovery. Fearing that their disciples might be lost, they summoned all their disciples back.
The actions of the other sages could not be kept from Xuan Tian. Xuan Tian chuckled inwardly and then disappeared from the Dutian Palace.
Meanwhile, in the primordial world, cultivators flocked to fetch water. The reason was that this place had recently been emitting a continuous stream of five-colored light, which shot straight into the sky. In no time, many cultivators from all over the primordial world knew that a primordial spiritual treasure was about to be born here, and they all rushed over with the intention of seizing the treasure.
On this day, a precious light soared into the sky above Jishui, reaching its highest level in many days. A strange fragrance also arose nearby, and waves rose in the Jishui River without wind, causing a great tremor. All the cultivators knew that this was a sign that a primordial spiritual treasure was about to be born, and they all secretly gathered their strength to prepare to seize the treasure.
Suddenly, singing came from afar.
"In the beginning of the primordial chaos, the Dao was supreme, and the universe was refined to distinguish between purity and turbidity."
The Taiji, Yin and Yang, give rise to the Four Symbols, which still exist in the palm of your hand today.
In the beginning of the primordial chaos, he was renowned, and through refinement, he gathered the five elements.
Three flowers bloom atop the crown of the head, facing the northern palace; five vital energies reside within the chest, permeating the southern sea.
Among the immortals, he is called Yuanshi; the mysterious gate of the realm was not yet established.
Fragrant flowers accompany the imperial carriage, through countless vicissitudes of life, their lifespan remains the same.
It was Yuanshi, who had arrived as soon as the treasure was about to be born. Just as Yuanshi landed, a song drifted from the horizon:
"The principles of opening up the world and creating heaven are clear; discussing scriptures and laws, one travels to the capital."
The Five Elements converge to reveal the secrets of life; the Three Flowers gather at the crown of the head to demonstrate the state of non-birth.
Golden light shines from the top in five colors, and red lotuses stretch for thousands of miles beneath one's feet.
The Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe Flies with Purple Qi, the Three-Edged Sword is Named Green Apple.
Subduing tigers and dragons is one, capturing demons and binding monsters is a free and unrestrained act.
The group had about three thousand followers, and those who followed the Cheng family were all elites.
Heavenly flowers fall in endless splendor, while golden lotuses embrace the earth, bringing lasting auspiciousness.
To guide all beings to enlightenment and attain true fruition, one must cultivate the righteous path in silence.
A procession of banners and canopies led the way, accompanied by timely bursts of music.
Kui Niu sat firmly as the leader of the Jie Sect, while celestial children burned incense before and after him.
A long, misty haze of sandalwood clouds hangs in the air, and a palpable aura of killing intent permeates the air.
When the white crane cries, the world turns; when the blue phoenix spreads its wings, the sea and mountains become clear.
The Master of Heaven left the Golden Palace to gather a million immortals.
Hongjun created creation, revealing the heavens; the ugly man of the earth ascended the platform.
"Having forged a golden body through countless eons, the Jade Palace nurtures countless talents."
Tongtian arrived and saw Yuanshi praising himself in a song, so he also composed one. Anyway, he didn't like Yuanshi and wanted to go against him.
Two beams of light flew in from the sky. When everyone looked, they saw that it was Yuanshi and Tongtian Shengren. The smart ones quickly grabbed their friends and ran away, knowing that with the arrival of the sages, they probably wouldn't have a chance to get the treasures. Some of the bolder ones, oblivious to their own danger, stood by and watched.
When Yuanshi saw Tongtian arrive, he snorted coldly and didn't greet him, knowing in his heart that the other party had come to seize the treasure.
The sound of singing drifted from the horizon again.
"Auspicious purple clouds float in the sky, and fragrant mists embrace the phoenix carriage."
The phoenix spreads its wings, graceful and docile; the maiden flutters about, carefree and at ease.
Banners and canopies swirl to welcome the imperial canopy, while jeweled necklaces flutter and adorn the crown.
"It is because the prosperous era has arrived that the immortals and sages have been sent to the Central Plains."
But then Nuwa arrived. Seeing that Yuanshi and Tongtian were both there, she didn't even go up to greet them. She still remembered when the Three Pure Ones had tried to stop her last time.
Two more beams of light flew in, and one of them sang:
"The immortal, barefoot, exudes the fragrance of jujubes and pears; his feet tread upon auspicious clouds, making his presence even more extraordinary."
The twelve lotus platforms display the Dharma treasures, and white light appears by the Eight Virtues Pond.
The saying "May you live as long as heaven and earth" is not mere rash; the words "May your blessings flow like the vast waves" are not wild.
The practice of cultivating relics is called embryonic breathing. Please be at ease; the Western Paradise is the Pure Land.
Another person said:
"When the Greatly Enlightened Golden Immortal is one with the Western Wonderful Dharma, the Patriarch Bodhi will appear."
Neither born nor dying, the three paths are in motion; with all energy and spirit, boundless compassion prevails.
Emptiness and stillness naturally change with nature; true nature allows itself to be as it is.
A dignified body as enduring as the heavens, a great Dharma Master whose mind has been enlightened through countless eons.
It was Jieyin and Zhunti who approached Yuanshi and the others, saying, "This humble Daoist Jieyin (Zhunti) greets the sages."
Tongtian snorted coldly and said, "Why are you coming to the East instead of seeking blessings in the West?"
Zhunti, with a compassionate expression, said, "This humble Taoist priest foresaw that this treasure is destined to be with my Western Sect, and has come here specifically to guide and convert it."
Tongtian rebuked, "Zhunti, you scoundrel! You presume to be a saint! How shameless you are! This treasure belongs to the East. When has it ever been connected to the West?"
