The old man looked at the young Taoist with joy and shock in his eyes.

Finally, he stroked his beard and praised it with a somewhat joking tone but also with great seriousness.

The young Taoist in his sea of ​​consciousness felt a little embarrassed when faced with his teacher's praise.

It's like a young man with a "bandit nickname" that sounds powerful but is actually quite ridiculous. When he is fooling around outside, it's not a big deal, but when he comes back, the most respected elders call him by this "bandit nickname" and praise him with a smile. How can he not feel a little embarrassed?

Besides, there was no Taishan in the past.

The so-called Mount Tai was only a prototype created by the young Taoist priest; as for the term “Lord of the Mansion”, it was a compliment given to the young Taoist priest by the Chief Envoy of the Seventy-two Departments when they were drinking last time. The combination of these two titles, spoken by the Supreme Lord himself, did sound a bit joking.

After all, there is nothing special about these four words.

There is no legend about it, no rank, and it is not a great honorable position. In fact, it is just a very common title, similar to the Governor of Zhongzhou and Mr. Li.

It's just a description of Qi Wuhuo by Master Wuhuo.

What was praised was not the name, but the Taoist Qi Wuhuo.

Seeing his disciple's rare youthful appearance, the old man laughed loudly and said, "It's okay. Wuhuo is you, the Lord of the Mansion is also you, and that Master is also you, but you are not just them. Just know this and it's okay."

The young Taoist was at peace, and all those slight teenage feelings and embarrassment were soothed.

He looked around calmly and found that it was still a chaos around him. There was no light or sunlight in any direction. However, there were faint ripples under his feet as if flowing water, just like the last time he saw the old man, as if he was walking on the road, as if he was at the beginning.

The young Taoist asked, "Teacher, are you here specifically to look for me?"

The old man looked at him kindly, shook his head, and finally said with emotion:

"I have to see you."

"You see me."

It's not me who sees you, it's you who sees me!

These eight words say it all.

You are close to the right path.

Taishang gestured to the young Taoist to walk beside him. Qi Wuhuo walked forward, and ripples appeared under his feet.

Although it was still impossible to walk side by side with the old man, he finally followed closely. After three steps, Tai Shang said gently:

“I was walking on the road, but I found someone else opening the way ahead. I was so happy that I turned around and looked back.”

"In the end, you see me, and I see you."

Qi Wuhuo muttered these words to himself, and then, still a young man, he asked:

"If this disciple dies this time."

The Supreme paused, smiled, and replied, "I have always believed in the law of karma and fate."

"But you..."

He looked at the young Taoist for a long time, and then said gently: "If you die this time, you can still be reincarnated."

"Perhaps I will go to the distant world of the human world and help you enter the Tao."

Qi Wuhuo did not ask again. This was the promise of the Supreme Daoist Ancestor to break the precepts. This time, he used his own life as a sacrifice and successfully found the possibility of breaking the calamity. He took a step forward and attracted the attention of the Supreme Daoist. The old man asked, "However, Wuhuo, how did you find this ray of hope?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "Because of the word [Tai]."

He described how he viewed the Dao of Mount Tai and created this text; and how he discovered that the central ghost emperor was trying to free himself from the predicament, and then said:

"With a character like Zhou Qi, who fears death, he will be willing to seek shelter and submit to the Northern Emperor. If the Northern Emperor leaves, he will have rebellious thoughts in his heart. If the Southern Emperor of Immortality helps him escape, he will use the Southern Emperor of Immortality to fight against the Northern Emperor's pursuit, but he may not be willing to completely submit in his heart, and he will definitely hope to master a way to break the ban and escape."

"Since he has the intention to kill his disciples, he won't care about learning and spreading Taichi Lingwen at all."

"However, the Ghost Emperor was in Fengdu City during the Third Tribulation Era, so he naturally didn't know all of the Taichi Lingwen."

"I would never have thought that this Tai Chi Lingwen was created by my disciple."

The Supreme Master paused slightly while stroking his beard.

Looking at the young Taoist, he gave a helpless smile and said, "Don't talk about him anymore."

“I can’t think of it either.”

"Then what?"

Qi Wuhuo said: "The Great Red Spiritual Script is a script created by observing the Tao. Just like the [Edict], it has its own power and characteristics. This script is closely related to the disciples. When everyone shouts [The Great Edict], they are borrowing the teacher's power and status, just like opening a branch from the infinite abyss and leading out a stream of water."

"Calling on [Tai] is to carry out the Taishan command, which is equivalent to borrowing the help of Taishan and the disciple's status."

"But, I am not a very high-ranking disciple."

"In this Fengdu City, from the third calamity era to ten thousand years ago, countless evil gods and demons were suppressed."

"Most of them are higher in status than my disciples."

"It's like countless raging rivers trying to connect with an ordinary creek."

"They can't borrow my status as a disciple. Instead, they will let their own water flow back into me through the words of [Tai]."

In the chaos, darkness, and endless chaos, the young Taoist spoke in a calm tone and had peaceful eyes.

The five fingers are white and slightly open.

Although he is dead.

But when his five fingers dropped, ripples appeared underneath, as if the vast 2,700-li Fengdu City, the countless evil gods and fierce ghosts, the 72 departments, and the Five Ghost Emperors were all covered under his Taoist robe and five fingers. There was a captivating aura to behold, and then his sleeves dropped and his five fingers lightly clenched together.

"If so, you can turn yin into yang."

"The disciple gets what he deserves, and escapes hardship and does it."

The Supreme Taoist Patriarch looked at his disciples with admiration in his eyes.

Then he smiled and said, "So, these countless powers of ghosts and gods are gathered in you. Do you want to use this to break through?"

Tai Shang Xuan Wei shook his head naturally and answered frankly:

“The disciple seeks its purity, obtains its wholeness, and proves its height.”

"Although my current cultivation is low, I am confident that my heart and Qi are pure, just like a small grain of gold. Although I only have a tiny bit as small as a fingernail, and my methods and magical powers are still weak, its purity is not inferior to anyone else. It is 100% pure."

“But if I choose to contain the power of these underworld ghosts and gods, it would be like melting countless copper, iron, lead and zinc into my gold. Although I would gain infinite magical powers and capacity, which would be boundless and huge, and seem to be able to do many things, my Dao heart and my Qi at that time would still be considered gold.”

"It's not even pure gold. It's just a bunch of junk."

The Supreme Master stroked his beard and smiled, "This is the highest good."

"No doubt, good Tao heart!"

“However, the ritual with the Five Ghost Emperors as the core, seventy-two earthly immortals, and countless ghosts from the underworld participating, even if it is still far inferior to [Imperial], is also a ritual for proving the Dao and becoming a Great Emperor. The ritual your senior brother performed back then may not be as magnificent and domineering as yours. What a pity. If you, Wuhuo, have the foundation of a True Lord now, you may be able to achieve the foundation of a Great Emperor.”

Even with the Supreme's insight, one cannot help but admire:

"The giant ritual of Fengdu City."

"Its foundation is the reputation that the Northern Emperor built up over two calamities and the specifications that are comparable to those of the Thunder Department's Shenxiao Thunder Palace; it is the countless ghosts and gods that were born during the two epochs when Haotian fell and the Jade Emperor experienced calamities and caused chaos in the world. It is the Five Directions Ghost Emperors and the Chief Envoys of the Seventy-two Departments. You must let them hang you at the top and let them chant the great spiritual text you created together."

“How harsh!”

"From now on, there will never be such a ritual again. This is the core of the Dao foundation of the Great Emperor of Enlightenment."

"This is exactly what makes the Great Emperor different from ordinary emperors and saints."

The old man looked at the young Taoist in front of him and said with a smile:

"Your basic rituals."

“They are all unique.”

"The huge Taishan Lord Ceremony in Fengdu City will never be held again from ancient times to the present, or even in the distant future. From ancient times to the present, or even in countless years, only you can do it."

Qi Wuhuo shook his head and replied, "That's not what I want."

The old man looked at him; he knew his disciple very well.

Then he stroked his beard, smiled and said, "It's not like you'll give up, is it?"

The old man was slightly startled when he saw his disciple.

Whether it is Shangqing or Yuqing, they only see themselves in the young Taoist.

Only Tai Shang saw Qi Wuhuo from beginning to end.

Then he stroked his beard, pointed his finger at the young Taoist, and laughed loudly for a long time:

"I know you, and you know me."

"Sit down!"

The old man flicked his sleeves, and ripples appeared in the void.

The great way creates traces, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and so on to all things.

Then the grass and trees grew, the road was transformed, the wind passed by, and the plum blossoms turned with the wind. There appeared an old and thin winter plum tree, a pond, a table, two blue stones, and two Taoists, one old and one young. That was all.

The Supreme took his seat.

Lord, please take a seat.

Discuss the Tao in relative terms.

The Dharma should not be passed on to others.

"You will achieve success after death. This foundation of the Tao is yours. It only waits for you to cultivate to the level of a True Lord, merge with it, and enter the [Harmony of the Tao] to become the Great Emperor. However, I see that you seem to have other ideas. Haha... The teacher has never taken care of you. Today, you and I have a lot of time to chat."

"Whatever doubts or ideas you have, you can tell me."

The young Taoist was calm, and then said:

"May I ask the Four Imperials?"
