As Buddhism disappeared, Mount Ling was not destroyed. The monkey occupied Mount Ling and announced to the world that he had established the Jie Sect to spread the teachings and to teach all without discrimination!
In a short time,
The immortals in Heaven were all getting restless. After all, anyone with a brain could see that following the monkey meant a bright future, since the monkey had already transcended worldly concerns.
The Heavenly Emperor was naturally aware of the thoughts of the celestial beings in Heaven, but he didn't care. Instead, he declared that anyone willing to join the Jie Sect was welcome to go.
At first, everyone thought the Heavenly Emperor was testing them, trying to set them up. But when they saw that the Heavenly Emperor was serious, a large number of gods left the Heavenly Court.
However, not all immortals can join the Jie Sect. Although the teachings are open to all, there is still a matter of fate. Even so, too many people have left the Heavenly Court.
On this day
Venus said with some distress, "Your Majesty, are we really going to let them run around like this? If this continues, our Heavenly Court will be almost deserted."
"It's alright!" the Heavenly Emperor said casually.
Venus had no idea what the Heavenly Emperor was thinking. In fact, it would be better if they all ran away. Once they all ran away, the Heavenly Court would no longer need to exist. With the Heavenly Court gone, he could rightfully step down as the Heavenly Emperor.
What's so great about the Heavenly Emperor? The Saint realm is stuck at this point, and even the Heavenly Emperor wants to achieve transcendence.
Even if he were no longer the Heavenly Emperor, he would still want to become a disciple of the Jie Sect. With his status, how could he not become the senior disciple and attain enlightenment and transcendence in the future, so that the flowers on the other shore could bloom? Wouldn't that be better than being the Heavenly Emperor?
He's really tired of this position. Even a dog wouldn't sit in the Heavenly Emperor's seat.
dog:? ? ?
If someone quits, I'll do it!
Don't overestimate me. If you dare to offer me anything, just wait and see if I sit down or not!
That's just easy for you to say when you're not the one suffering the pain!
soon,
This world has been completely at peace, the great calamity has been completely eliminated, and the monkey has even achieved transcendence.
With that, Lu Chuan was naturally relieved. He planned to see the monkey and then leave. He had lingered in this world for far too long, and it was time to depart.
Lu Chuan, who was just about to meet the monkey, frowned slightly. His disciple, Donghuang Taiyi, was in danger, having even summoned the Chaos Bell to such an extent.
immediately,
Lu Chuan left a message for the monkey, then slowly stepped out, disappearing from this world in the blink of an eye. He arrived in the world where Donghuang Taiyi resided, where a great battle unfolded before his eyes.
now,
The Chaos Bell displayed its power, and Lu Chuan was slightly surprised by its advancement.
As mentioned before,
The Chaos Bell possesses the power to suppress the primordial world, the power to reverse the spacetime of all heavens, the power to evolve the mysteries of the heavenly way, and the power to refine earth, water, fire, and wind.
It is a chaotic, dark yellow color. It is the supreme treasure used by Donghuang Taiyi to suppress the primordial world when Pangu separated heaven and earth and Nuwa created man and things.
Outside the bell, the sun, moon, stars, earth, water, fire, and wind revolve; inside the bell, mountains and rivers exist, and countless primordial races are hidden within. Five-colored rays of light illuminate the heavens, and the holy might of chaos shakes the universe.
The Chaos Bell is infinitely mysterious and possesses boundless power. It can imprison time and suppress space. It can deflect attacks from any treasure or divine weapon and ignore damage from all supernatural powers and spells. It combines offense and defense, making one invincible when held above one's head.
The bell tolled loudly, the universe shone brightly, the heavens and earth lost their color, and the universe shook. The power of the supreme treasure of chaos was incomparably domineering.
Now, over the years, Donghuang Taiyi has refined the Chaos Bell to an even more terrifying level. If the Great Dao-level treasures in this universe are considered to be at their peak, then the Chaos Bell has now stepped into the realm of the Great Dao.
Its power is now far greater than before.
and,
at this time,
The young man who had just clashed with Donghuang Taiyi said slowly, "So many years have passed, and I never expected that such a being as you would emerge from the unorthodox sects. You are truly extraordinary!"
Upon hearing this,
Donghuang Taiyi coldly retorted, "Unorthodox methods?! Ha! An Yuan, in your eyes, what doesn't count as unorthodox methods?"
"Under the whole heaven, only the Dao is supreme. All other paths are heretical and should be exterminated!"
An Yuan's voice rang out, and after a slight pause, he continued.
"He neither pays homage to the emperor nor visits high officials. He avoids the cage of worldly affairs and hides his tracks, escaping the net of worldly life to cultivate his true nature. He finds joy in forests and springs, rejecting fame and fortune, and dwells in seclusion in mountains and valleys, forgetting disgrace and glory."
Wearing a crown adorned with stars that shine like the sun, and a robe that grants eternal youth. Some have disheveled hair and go barefoot, while others wear their hair in a topknot and a headscarf. They pluck fresh flowers to build their hats and gather wild grass to spread on their carpets. They drink sweet spring water to rinse their teeth and chew pine and cypress leaves to prolong their lives.
Singing and clapping, dancing and sleeping amidst the clouds. When encountering immortal guests, we seek the profound truths and inquire about the Dao; when meeting fellow Daoists, we discuss poetry, wine, and literature. We laugh at extravagant and corrupt wealth, and rejoice in the carefree simplicity of poverty.
Without the slightest hindrance from the north, without the sway of a single sound. Sometimes in groups of three, they converse on profound mysteries and the Dao; sometimes in pairs, they explore the past and discuss the present. They explore the past and discuss the present, lamenting the rise and fall of dynasties; they converse on profound mysteries and the Dao, investigating the root causes of life and destiny. They remain undisturbed by the changing seasons, following the swift movements of the sun and the moon.
His aged face regained its youth, his white hair turned black again. He carried a basket and gourd to the market to beg for alms, just enough to fill his stomach; he took a hoe and basket into the mountains to gather herbs; he helped those in distress. He brought peace to people and benefited all things; sometimes he even brought the dead back to life.
Those who cultivate immortality possess strong and refined bones; those who attain the Dao possess the most divine intelligence. They discern good and bad fortune by understanding the hexagrams and divination; they determine calamity and blessing by discerning the hearts of men. They expound the Daoist teachings, promoting the orthodox doctrines of the Supreme Lord; they write talismans to dispel evil influences from the mortal world. They pay homage to the flying deities at the imperial palace and tread the path of Qi at the Thunder Gate.
Knocking on the gate of mystery, darkness descends; striking the earth's gate, ghosts weep and gods tremble. Seizing the essence of heaven and earth, gathering the quintessence of sun and moon. Manipulating yin and yang to refine one's nature, nourishing water and fire to solidify the embryo. At twenty-eight, yin fades as if in a fleeting dream; at thirty-nine, yang grows as if in the deepest obscurity.
Harvesting according to the four seasons, refining nine times to complete the elixir. Riding a blue phoenix straight to the Purple Palace, riding a white crane to roam the Jade Capital. Comprehending the wondrous workings of Heaven and Earth, expressing the diligence of morality.
Another pause,
An Yuan continued, "In that case, should the world revere the Way as the sole supreme authority?"
Unorthodox and heretical practices will ultimately only bring chaos and suffering to the world!
All unorthodox and heretical doctrines should cease to exist in this world! I, the Emperor, shall strive for lasting peace for all living beings!
After saying that,
Donghuang Taiyi sneered, "You speak so grandly, but isn't it all for your own selfish gain, to make the entire world revolve solely around the Daoist lineage? Bah!"
Upon hearing this,
An Yuan shook his head slightly, his expression showing disappointment and a touch of melancholy. "You don't understand, you just don't understand! A cultivator is free in body and mind, does not engage in warfare or strange things, and keeps all worldly affairs to himself."
I do not think of doing righteous things but planting leeks, I do not think of gaining fame and fortune as easily as picking up mustard seeds, I do not think of wearing brocade robes, I do not think of wearing a horn belt, I do not think of stroking the prime minister's beard, I do not think of borrowing the emperor's pleasure, I do not think of ambushing with crossbows and charging forward, I do not think of bowing down to the dust, I do not think of those who support me enjoying a thousand bushels of grain, I do not think of those who fawn upon me having four blankets.
In my leisure, I sleep soundly in the mountains, my soul yearning for the Peach Banquet. Who cares whether the Jade Rabbit rises in the east or the Golden Crow sets in the west?
"However, the struggle for the orthodox lineage will inevitably cause suffering to all living beings. I will strive to eliminate all strife in this world and ensure that all living beings are of one mind!"
He sighed softly.
"Someone like you will never understand how far and high you have gone in the unorthodox path. Before I destroyed the unorthodox path, and back to the beginning, you were the one who went the furthest. It's a pity you are unwilling to enter the true path, so it is impossible to keep you here!"
"Have a safe journey!"
