Chapter 36 What is Tao and Where is Tao?
Mu Ning looked at his master and said slowly: "Master, do you know that the Hunyuan Avenue is the true path of cultivation? The Hunyuan Avenue has no end.
As long as one cultivates without being contaminated by karma, and constantly explores and helps the secondary world perfect its laws, one can ascend."
"The reason why there are so many great powers in the prehistoric world is that they are using the wrong methods. The three thousand demon gods are very powerful. They have their own laws. If they practice the laws, they can all follow the path of the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos. There is no upper limit to their cultivation."
"As for the method of beheading the three corpses taught by Hongjun, your cultivation level has already been limited. The highest level of the beings in the prehistoric world is that of a Quasi-Sage, and the six saints can only reach the Saint Realm. The only one who has the opportunity to realize the Great Dao is Hongjun."
Mu Ning gritted his teeth, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and he said sarcastically, "He has made all the calculations, but he is only at the top of the Heavenly Dao Realm and doesn't want to help Honghuang upgrade.
Instead, he schemes against all living things in the prehistoric world, gathers the power of faith, and takes over the ways of humanity, earth, and heaven. Ha—shameless child.”
"Ning'er, these are true..." Tongtian was shocked when he said this to Mu Ning. He never thought that it would be like this. All the creatures in the prehistoric world were just a calculation.
The calculation of helping others, if one does not go beyond the prehistoric times, then his cultivation level is at most a saint, then what is the point of his hard work in cultivation, what is the point of his Tao, is it just for the purpose of cultivation that is destined to lead to no progress...
Tongtian's eyes were full of confusion. He had always only practiced and practiced, and had never thought of anything else. But if what Ning'er said was true, all the creatures in the ancient world would be nothing but a joke...
"Master, don't worry. When the time is right, you can practice the Great Dao of Primordial Chaos with me. Together we can help the prehistoric world improve and perfect the power of the prehistoric world's laws. When the prehistoric world improves,
Their cultivation can naturally be improved. The current prehistoric world cannot support more saints, but the chaotic world outside the prehistoric world can. If we ignore the chaos, there must be other small worlds. We can slowly search for them. There will always be a way. "
Mu Ning hugged Tongtian and saw the confusion in Tongtian's eyes and a flash of reluctance in his eyes. There is no construction without destruction. It is not a good thing to keep it hidden from the master. There must always be a goal to strive for.
"Okay, your master will accompany you, and we will find a better way out together." Tongtian hugged the person in his arms tightly. He would only practice for Mu Ning in the future. Mu Ning was his way.
"Master, let's go back to Jin'ao Island and see how Senior Brother Duobao's training is going." Mu Ning said happily when he saw Tongtian's expression returned to normal.
"Okay, let's go back to Jin'ao Island." Tongtian took Mu Ning's hand, waved his hand and took out the Qingping Sword. The sword body became bigger. Tongtian took Mu Ning and stood on it, and slowly flew towards Jin'ao Island.
"Master, why don't you use magic to go back? It would be much faster that way?"
Mu Ning was a little curious. He usually used magic to get there in an instant, but now he wanted to fly slowly on a sword.
"Master wants to accompany you for a while. Let's go back slowly. It would be nice to see the wild scenery along the way."
Now, he wants to accompany Mu Ning more than practicing.
It was a rare moment of quiet time, and Mu Ning was not in a hurry to go back. He took Tongtian for a stroll in the East China Sea and then flew to the West China Sea for a stroll.
When they flew over Sanguang Island halfway, Mu Ning saw that the scenery on the island was nice, so he pulled Tongtian down and strolled around slowly, stepping on the grass on the ground, smelling the fragrance of the trees in the sky, and even found a beautiful lotus in a spiritual pond.
The lotus was shining with holy light. When people finally found out that it was the long-lost Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus, Mu Ning quickly asked Tongtian to put it away. Now they had a magic weapon to suppress the destiny of Jiejiao.
The two of them walked to many places and finally returned to a mountain outside the royal city.
"Ning'er, are you sure Shennong will establish the throne of the Emperor of Earth here?" Tongtian asked uncertainly, looking at the barren mountain.
Mu Ning smiled confidently, "Master, don't worry. I've calculated it. It's right here. Shennong spent his life caring about the people, traveling far and wide to taste all kinds of herbs, making farm tools, and so on. This day will be the day he achieves the throne of the Emperor of Earth."
As Mu Ning was talking to Tong Tian, they saw two figures appear at the foot of the mountain. One of them was holding a handful of grass in his hand, and the other was standing behind him carrying a backpack, slowly walking towards the top of the mountain.
Mu Ning pulled Tongtian closer and saw an old man with a kind face and extraordinary temperament identifying the herbs in the hands of another.
"Ziyuan, believe me, this herb can be used." The old man was still trying to argue with him.
"Okay, okay, it can be used now, right?"
Mu Ning said softly to Tongtian, "That must be Shennong and Zhenyuanzi, Master, look, they're here."
Tongtian nodded slightly and stood beside Mu Ning looking at the two of them.
Shennong and Zhenyuanzi walked to the top of the mountain and stood there. He looked at the herbs in his hand, and a voice in his mind kept telling him that it was time to eat the herbs.
Shennong looked at the herbs in his hand with a serious expression, then turned to look at his good friend who had been with him since birth. This was how he looked when they first met.
Now he has grown from a child into a seventy-year-old man, but Ziyuan still looks the same and has not changed in decades.
"Ziyuan, I...I want to try this herb. I only need this last one to complete my Hundred Herbs Classic."
"Shennong, you still want to try it? You don't know how much has happened to you over the years. If it weren't for the magic pill, you wouldn't be like this now. You always say it's the last time." Zhen Yuanzi didn't want him to continue tasting the herbs.
Shennong was on the verge of death several times. He used ginseng fruit to exchange for a lot of elixirs from the Supreme Sage, but now they are all used up. What if there is a problem after tasting them?
"Ziyuan, I have a feeling this will be the last time." Shennong looked at Zhenyuanzi seriously.
While Zhen Yuanzi was unaware, Mu Ning and Tong Tian appeared and approached them. "Zhen Yuanzi, this is his moment to achieve Earthly Emperor status. Let him not interfere."
Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Mu Ning and Tong Tian, gritted his teeth and said, "For the last time, Shennong, you taste it."
After getting affirmation from his friend, Shennong picked up the herbs in his hand and fed them into his mouth bit by bit. Gradually, Shennong frowned and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He fell to the ground in pain, holding his abdomen and struggling. Zhen Yuanzi subconsciously wanted to rush over to support him, but was held back by Mu Ning, who shook his head at him.
Shennong looked in pain, with more and more blood flowing from the corners of his mouth, and he slowly fainted.
As soon as the person fainted, Zhen Yuanzi hurried forward a few steps and held the person in his arms. He felt relieved when he saw that the person was still breathing.
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, don't be anxious. This is the final calamity that Shennong must go through to become the Emperor of Earth." Zhen Yuanzi nodded when he heard Mu Ning's words. Knowing was one thing, but seeing him in pain was another.
Zhen Yuanzi sat on the ground holding Shennong, while Mu Ning and Tongtian stood there, waiting for Shennong to wake up.
Seven days passed in a flash, and there were faint auspicious signs in the sky, as if indicating that Shennong was about to accomplish great things.
