But the Great Master Xuandu, Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun and Tianpeng Dazhenjun said goodbye, and immediately flew on clouds to pay a visit to their teacher. They used all their extraordinary means to cover a long distance in an instant, and almost reached the farthest place in the six realms of heaven and earth, to find their teacher, Taishang Daode Tianzun.
What we see before our eyes has reached the edge of the six realms. All things are endless, except for the evolution of Tao, which has infinite birth and death.
However, he could not see the way forward, nor could he feel the past or the future. He looked around, but could not see his teacher, the Supreme Taoist Lord of Dao and Virtue. Master Xuandu held a jade tablet with the four characters "Taishang Xuandu" on it. He infused his own Qi into it, and layers of light appeared on the jade tablet, shimmering and changing, and dissipating to the left and right.
But other than that, nothing has changed.
Master Xuandu was stunned.
I immediately understood what the teacher meant.
The Supreme cannot be seen at this moment.
…
Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun went to Daluo Heaven and Yuxu Palace. As soon as he arrived at Daluo Heaven, he saw that Yuxu Palace seemed to have experienced a long time. The original pavilions and towers had all decayed, the gate of Yuxu Palace was closed, the gold and jade colors were gone, and even spider webs could be seen faintly, as if countless time had passed in the long years and it was no longer as quiet and free as before.
The Ten Directions Taiyi Savior of Sufferings knocks on the door.
No sound is heard.
When I pushed the door, it couldn't be opened. I knew that Teacher Shangqing Da Daojun was just one step away.
But this one step away is like a chasm, and it is difficult to advance even half a step further.
Even though he had the power of ten directions of the world, he was unable to take even a single step forward to talk to his teacher.
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun wanted to knock on the door again, but paused and finally slowly withdrew his hand.
It was clearly such a big event, but the first disciples of the Three Pure Ones had never seen their teacher. The Great Lord of Shangqing had never looked back, and the Supreme Lord had never appeared. Only the Great True Lord Tianpeng was walking around, as if it had experienced the erosion of countless years and stayed in the Daluotian Yuxu Palace beyond the long river of time.
I pushed open the door and walked slowly inside, and saw the cushion in front of the main hall, which was already dilapidated and covered with cobwebs.
There was no longer a teacher above. On the desk, there was a scroll that was still extremely clear, peaceful and free. Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun bowed and burned three incense sticks before opening the scroll. He saw various words on it, which discussed the Tao in detail. They were not about supernatural powers, but the weight was extremely heavy, so heavy that Tian Peng Da Zhen Jun looked a little dazed.
That represents the greatest expectation of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun among the Three Pure Ones, and it is just four words -
"When he sees me."
It was him who saw me.
This is already a great compliment and also the greatest expectation.
This time, the three Dao Ancestors were all waiting for the Taoist to complete the task alone, and then they walked towards him step by step until he ascended to the Heavenly Palace alone, and then there was the earth-shattering meeting.
Tian Peng Great True Lord murmured these words in a low voice.
In the past, the three Taoist ancestors would come down to the mortal world every time to either guide or instruct.
Is it finally his time to ascend to heaven?
Did this disciple finally go to the Sanqing Temple alone to pay homage to his teacher?
In the past, I saw him, and now, he sees me.
Tianpeng Great True Lord felt the joy and anticipation in these four short words.
It is the sip and bite of food when I was gone in the past and when you are here in the future. It is the rhythm of Tao, it is between master and disciple, and it is also about respect.
Master Xuandu looked at the end of the Great Dao, sighed, and turned away.
Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun slowly withdrew his hand.
Tian Peng Great True Lord sighed and remained silent, then suddenly smiled and said, "You two..."
He turned sideways, and his voice seemed to have crossed a long distance and landed in the ears of the two Daoists at the peak of the Great Stage:
"Are you still fighting for my junior brother?"
…
The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole returned to the Longevity Heaven in the South Pole.
The Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole was naturally satisfied that he could use a hidden card to bring out Qi Wuhuo's trick. The other immortals and gods with vision, Taoism and Taoist charm all thought that Qi Wuhuo's trick was a trump card, but the Emperor of Longevity of the South Pole thought otherwise.
The regrets or complacency of Beidi and Nanji are all based on a natural cognition.
This cognition directly affected the forces under their command.
For example, the Arctic Exorcism House.
The merit requirement for the direct disciples of the Three Pure Ones to enter the sect is extremely high, often several times or even ten times that of others.
The same method is applied to the disciples of the Three Pure Ones.
In the eyes of the Southern Emperor of Immortality,
Mastered Yu's moves and this huge incarnation.
Ordinary immortals and gods believe that it is a unique skill, but in the eyes of South Pole and North Pole, this Taoist has already reached this level of power, like those exposed on the surface of an iceberg. Because of the title of the direct descendant of the Supreme, they concede that this Taoist has mastered a complete set of means to control the realm.
Rather than just one or two moves.
"I will treat you as someone who has just entered the realm of imperial control..."
…
There was an undercurrent among the immortals in the sky, but after Qi Wuhuo's sermon, he returned to the storage room and continued to recite scriptures. The next day he went to preach the Taoist scriptures again. When he came back that day, he found that the scholar in green clothes was already in the room, looking down and reading the Taoist scriptures newly compiled by Qi Wuhuo.
“That’s good, but why don’t you keep writing?”
Fuxi asked.
Qi Wuhuo replied: "That's enough for now."
The scholar in green robes remained silent. He looked at the scroll - the part that Qi Wuhuo was talking about now, just before the level of becoming an immortal. If a practitioner simply followed the contents of this scripture, it would be enough to slowly cultivate to the immortal realm step by step, but the path to a higher level was not opened.
The scholar in blue shirt asked, "Why?"
Qi Wuhuo replied: "If you start by explaining a truth that is too profound, people will be confused. Once confused, they will just keep trying various methods to get closer to the highest realm, but they are unwilling to calm down and think about the truth itself. Therefore, when imparting knowledge in the world, it must always be done step by step."
"Besides, it's not enough."
"Not enough?"
Fuxi looked at the destiny of humanity outside, and saw that this destiny was flowing continuously and was already at its peak. If he swallowed up all this power, it would be enough to immediately achieve a very high realm. However, if he circulated this destiny throughout the world and shared it with all living things, it would still be a little lacking.
"The good fortune of the human world will help this prosperous Spring and Autumn era, and the prosperous Spring and Autumn era will in turn help the good fortune of the human world. This should be done step by step."
The scholar in green robes looked at Qi Wuhuo in front of him and asked directly:
"So, what are you doing... Earlier, you intercepted a hidden card of the Southern Emperor of Immortality, but this hidden card did not rely on your own cultivation, but on the luck of the world. Everyone mistakenly thought that you now have the means to [control] it, but you don't."
The scholar in green looked at the Taoist in front of him. Unconsciously, the Taoist had become taller than him. He was wearing a black robe and a jade crown, with clear eyebrows. Without the slightest hesitation, Fuxi frowned slightly and said directly: "Unless you swallow up this great fortune in the world!"
“Unless you refine the entire human world into your own inner world, unless you rule the entire human world and make all the people in the world come and go in a bustling manner to create human destiny for you, and then this human destiny is drawn away by you as the basis for your magical powers and moves.”
"Unless you pluck the sapling from that tree."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to perform this move again. So, do you plan to stay in the human world for a long time?"
The black-robed man replied, “Not really.”
"I will eventually go and practice Taoism, I will walk on the path of my teachers again, step by step following their backs and going away into the world. One day, my name will fade into the history of time and become a legend. In the end, in the eyes of future generations, even the legend will not remain, but just a myth."
"Now I have only two choices."
"One is to swallow up the destiny of the world and the future of all living things, and achieve my own path."
"Taking what is insufficient to support what is abundant is not my way."
"I'll leave one thing behind first."
Fuxi asked, "What is it?"
The Taoist replied: "A sword."
The scholar in green robes said, "Do you want to forge a sword too? With Lingbao's inheritance, if you forge a divine sword, it can be regarded as inheriting your master's skills. If you use this sword to rule the world, it will be enough to make Lingbao proud of you."
"What kind of sword is this? What is it made of? What is its tool? What is the edge of its blade? Who can wield it?"
The Taoist stretched out his hand, pointed to the sky outside, and said, "This is my sword."
"With the Nine Provinces' Divine Martial Arts as the blade, the mountains and rivers and the five lakes as the tip, Qiulong as the spine, Zhao as the hilt, and Han and Wei as the fence."
"It encompasses the four barbarians, wraps around the four seasons, surrounds the Bohai Sea, and belts around Mount Tai; it is governed by the five elements, and judged by punishment and virtue; it opens with yin and yang, is held by spring and autumn, and operates with autumn and winter. This sword is straight and has no precedent, it can be raised to the highest point, it can be pressed to the lowest point, it can move without any deviation, it can cut through the floating clouds above, and it can break the laws of the earth below. Once this sword is used, the world will be settled."
“If I forge this sword of destiny, after I am gone, the destiny of the human world will still exist, and the Yuqing Qi will still exist. There will be people of extraordinary talent and genius in every generation, and every generation will be a Sword Master. It is equivalent to having Yu guarding every generation in the human world. How can the countless immortals and gods in this vast sky come to the human world?”
The scholar in green robes seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "If we use the sword like this, it will definitely consume a lot of energy."
“Don’t use it lightly.”
"It can only be used as a last-ditch deterrent. If ordinary immortals and gods use this sword when they come to the human world, the power of this sword will be weakened day by day. When that happens, many immortals and gods will sneak into the human world and do whatever they want. Naturally, your sword cannot turn the tide and attack the people in this human world, right?"
The black-robed Taoist replied, "That's right, so this is just the first sword."
"Hundreds of birds pay homage to the phoenix, and thousands of beasts follow the scene. A great way emerges, and a saint appears. I set up a stone tablet and teach the way of Taoism in the hope that more people will appear in the world, not just those who hold swords, but all veins have swords. In this world, I can go there."
The man in green shirt knew what the Taoist was talking about, but he had never thought that he would desire more than just a sword. He said, "If so, you can make a sword, and then your teacher will clap his hands and laugh. But, what can you do?"
"It's been more than ten years now, and you're the only one preaching."
"If so, sixty years later, three hundred years later."
"There are only disciples from your lineage."
The Taoist said: "Then we can only wait and see."
"Emperor Xi, do you want to gamble again?"
The man in green sneered without answering, while the Taoist in black robe laughed and left.
Fuxi just clicked his tongue and said, "The bigger you get, the harder it is to trick. Up to now, you haven't said anything about your realm and cultivation. Now Nanji Changsheng may have thought that you have the means to control it, and he will attack you based on this. But you don't know how to devour the luck of the world to achieve your own goals, so this has become a dead end."
If Qi Wuhuo left the magnificent humanitarian destiny of this era, it would be impossible to stop Yu's power.
If you want to be an enemy of Antarctica, you must swallow up this world.
But if he swallows up this world and achieves his own way, he will no longer be Qi Wuhuo.
It's almost a dead end.
The only chance of survival is for this Taoist to forge a sword for the world. However, how can such a thing be accomplished with just a few words?
Fuxi sighed.
I feel that this person has a difficult journey.
He couldn't help but ask, "Qi Wuhuo, it has been more than ten years now. When do you think we can forge the sword embryo?"
The Taoist priest in the swaying black robe paused and said, "I don't know either."
Then he smiled and said, "Let's see again in seventeen years."
Fuxi was speechless.
Qi Wuhuo preached for more than ten days, all of which were about the latter part of the original "Tao Te Ching". More and more people came to hear the news, and there were even people who lived in very remote places. They came from afar just to listen to his preaching, just hoping to hear him talk about Taoism, and they were all fascinated by what he said.
But every time I immersed myself in it, I felt that the door to supreme mystery was opening before me.
The Taoist will then stop and no longer speak, which will make people feel endless regret and remorse.
As such, they naturally had a lingering feeling in their hearts, as if they were not satisfied, so they naturally began to talk to each other about their own understandings and exchange their ideas. In order to perform better, perhaps this Taoist master would take the initiative to speak and give me some advice, so I stayed here under Ji Men.
The man in green stood at the highest point, sitting cross-legged above the mortal world, and saw clouds swirling around.
See the place under Jimen, where there are nine stone tablets.
The Taoist in black robe sat in front of nine stone tablets with a peaceful expression.
Around him, countless people sat cross-legged. Among them were men and women, old and young, all with serious expressions, discussing the doctrines of the Tao and each other's insights, gradually reaching a state of extreme selflessness, sometimes frowning in thought, sometimes clapping their hands and sighing, and sometimes suddenly realizing.
The fortune of humanity is gradually rising. Although it has not yet reached its full potential, we can already see some of its grandeur.
The man in green clapped his hands and sighed, "Have you already forged the sword?"
And now it is like this.
Seventeen years later, what should we do? !
What a magnificent scene it is.
He couldn't help but sigh, but at this moment, he felt something and noticed something. He lowered his eyes and looked at the Taoist under the nine stone tablets. A wisp of flowing breath emanated from his body.
Fuxi's eyes were filled with astonishment——
Realm, breakthrough? !
