Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun's voice was calm, but the weight of his words was extremely heavy. He sat calmly in this secret realm with a calm and peaceful expression. He looked at the disciple in front of him with a smile in his tone and said calmly: "But I only use the power gathered by this body for five calamities to guide you to hone your Dao heart for 20,000 years."

"If it is just rotten wood that cannot be cultivated, even if it takes 20,000 or 100,000 years."

“It’s hard to take this step.”

"You are very good."

The realm of the Yu Zun is so high that even Qi Wuhuo, who has experienced a lot and already has a trace of Yu Qi in his body, still needs 20,000 years of cultivation before the Yu Qi can take root in his body and grow stronger through breathing exercises.

But the price is everything accumulated by the incarnation of [Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun] over several eons.

Sit in meditation for five kalpas.

It all ended in a dream.

The determination and years implied in this understated sentence are so heavy that they are enough to move anyone.

Qi Wuhuo discovered that the body of the middle-aged Taoist in front of him began to become illusory and was gradually disappearing. As the incarnation of the Taoist's divine consciousness, Yuchen Daojun could fight everywhere and even confront the Three Pure Ones.

However, the Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun, who had a solid foundation and was even superior to Yuchen Daojun, had such a change in an instant. This showed how much weight and consumption that finger had just used.

Qi Wuhuo exhaled a breath of foul air, bowed deeply, and said: "Disciple, thank you, teacher."

A palm was placed on his cupped hands, patted, and pressed slightly downwards.

Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun said gently:

"You can come here, you can have the foundation to reach the peak of the Great Grade."

"You still have the courage to overcome the disaster with this body."

"I didn't wait for the wrong thing."

"I guided you, but it was also your arrival that made my waiting worthwhile. Without me, you still have 20,000 years of hard training to truly break through this extremely difficult barrier. But without you, the significance of this body as the last calamity of the Kaihuang Emperor will eventually fall into the void, without any trace left."

"You are the one who made me what I am today. No need to thank me."

The black hair of Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun slowly turned white, and the look in his eyes became more and more ancient. He pointed behind him and said calmly: "You can leave now."

Qi Wuhuo looked at the teacher in front of him.

Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun saved him 20,000 years of hard practice. All his other memories and experiences disappeared like the sea of ​​clouds, but the 20,000 years of meditation and practice in this body was real and true. It was as if in that moment just now, Qi Wuhuo really went to a certain place and really practiced for ten thousand years.

Qi Wuhuo bowed deeply again, said nothing, and then walked outside.

Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun watched his disciple who was walking away step by step. His eyes were deep, as if he saw a hint of murderous aura on the disciple in front of him. He knew that this disciple still had a calamity to overcome, but he had exhausted all his strength at this moment, and did not know what this calamity was.

He only knew that his disciple seemed to have been in disaster since he was young.

Move forward step by step.

However, the decision he made that year finally had a response. Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun lowered his eyes and looked at the passage leading to the outside world after his disciples left. He thought for a while, then stood up. His black hair had turned completely pale, and wrinkles gradually appeared on his face. He was gradually transforming from a stern and strong-tempered middle-aged Taoist into an old man.

He sat here for such a long time that he suddenly wanted to go outside and take a look at the scenery of this era.

At first, he had clearly intended to wipe out all living things in order to avoid the final catastrophe, but somehow he changed his mind. He sat here for such a long time, and now looking back on his decision, he was a little confused.

Perhaps the reason is not so special or complicated.

The Lord of the Last Tribulation of Kaihuang stood at the exit of this secret realm. The world manifested by the mental image behind him began to collapse and disintegrate at a slow and steady pace. There was light on the road ahead, and he could vaguely see Kunpeng and Qi Wuhuo going away, the Lord of the Last Tribulation of Kaihuang thought.

Maybe, it's just because they call me that -

Taoism ancestor.

However, taking other paths does not mean giving up the original persistence and the determination to end the final catastrophe. It’s just that the original method cannot do it. The path I insist on and the original intention I practice remain the same as before.

Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun looked at his disciples who were going away, raised his finger, and pointed it like a sword, pointing forward.

It seemed as if he saw the six calamities turning into the scene of the creation of heaven and earth. There was still a sharp and fierce edge in his eyes, as fierce as fire.

My disciples—

This is the last sword I will strike at you!

The final catastrophe!

Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun stepped out of the secret realm in the Tushita Palace, looked at the sky and all things, and saw that the world was the same as before and the world was perfect. Suddenly, he passed by a place, overlooking the mountains and rivers of the world, and saw his current appearance in a place where a clear spring was like a mirror.

His foundation and strength had been completely exhausted by that one finger just now. As he walked through the world and watched the scenery, his hair gradually turned gray and his body gradually aged. At this moment, the face reflected on the water surface looked old and aged, with white hair and beard, wrinkles on his face, and gentle eyes.

Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun was stunned at first, and then he suddenly understood something.

He pointed at the old man in the water and suddenly laughed out loud: "Ah!"

"But it is so, you are me and I am you!"

Clapping and laughing.

Suddenly, it turned into a stream of clear air, which rose into the upper sky in an instant and disappeared. On the water surface, the old man seemed to smile, and then dispersed. Only ripples on the water spread out, layer by layer, reflecting the clouds in the sky and the green mountains on earth, which lasted for a long time.

And in this Daluo Heaven, in front of the Yuxu Palace, an old man opened his eyes, with a gentle and warm look in his eyes.

Look around the world, smile gently, and say: "Come, come."

The energy flowed naturally and flew into his body. There was no difference. All the previous experiences were already in this mind. And the purpose and actions of his self in the ancient times when he separated a wisp of divine will, the memories that he had actively blocked also naturally revived.

The old man stroked his beard and sighed, saying, "So that's how it is."

“It is so.”

Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun raised his eyes slightly, yawned lazily, and said, "What's wrong?"

The old man smiled gently and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something."

"Not very serious."

When Shangqing Daojun heard Taishang speak like this, he knew that he must have known something, but he was unwilling to say more, so he simply stopped asking and just looked at the clouds in the distance and said, "Speaking of which, Wuhuo is already at the peak of the Great Grade. Should we tell him the details of the final calamity?"

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes and said calmly: "He is my disciple, and he already has a very good foundation."

"He is already able to raise his hands to support the six realms. Naturally, he needs to know about such things."

"The question is, when to tell him."

Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun supported his chin with one hand and used the other hand to casually calculate, saying: "He has just reached this realm, and we can still protect him. Let's talk about this matter again after four hundred years, after the agreed duel."

The five hundred years back then was not set at random.

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun looked at him and said calmly, "... Lingbao, we won't say anything to you about your intention to use the little girl from the Northern Emperor family to play. Why are you still talking about this matter at this time?"

Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun's face froze, and he said forcefully: "What's wrong?"

"Before, you just said that he is your own disciple, isn't that enough?"

"How can this be considered as nagging by one's own disciples? How can this be considered as forcing them?"

Helplessly, he watched the two Taoist friends in front of him bickering with each other.

The old man felt a breath coming, looked up, stroked his beard and smiled:

"Don't argue, don't argue. Look, isn't this coming?"

The two Taoist ancestors Yuqing and Shangqing looked up and saw colorful lights above the sky. It turned out to be their disciples riding on clouds and mist. They were all a little surprised. Then they did some divination and looked a little more serious. Even Shangqing Taoist stopped arguing with Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun and each sat in the main seat.

But the Taoist over there held down the cloud and landed on the ground. The clouds under his feet disappeared in an instant. Qi Wuhuo went forward to pay his respects to the three old teachers. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the control energy that had taken deep root in Qi Wuhuo's body, and there was astonishment in his eyes.

Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun smiled and asked, "Wuhuo, what are you doing here?"

Qi Wuhuo looked up at the three teachers. Before this, although he knew that the three Dao Ancestors were all incarnations, but at this level, incarnation or not, it didn't seem to be that important. But now, he could vaguely feel the emptiness of the three teachers' states.

This kind of nothingness does not mean that the incarnations of the Three Pure Ones are hollow, but compared to the majestic charm of the three Taoist ancestors themselves, their bodies at this moment are obviously not enough to match such a powerful force. Thinking of what Kaihuang Mojie Tianzun said, Qi Wuhuo couldn't help but feel a little doubtful and curious at this moment -

Three teachers, where are your real bodies now?

Is it to intercept the final catastrophe?

Qi Wuhuo bowed and said, "I came here to ask about the final calamity."

As soon as these last two words came out, it was like thunder. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun looked calm, Shangqing Daojun's smile suddenly disappeared, but the old man seemed to have known everything long ago, and he was still calm and said in a calm tone: "Wuhuo knows the content of the final calamity?"

Qi Wuhuo nodded.

After telling everything that had just happened in the Tushita Palace, Lord Shangqing looked at the calm and composed old man over there. He thought that his incarnation was just causing trouble here and even fighting with him, while the old man's incarnation was using his body as a son and making plans for eternity. For a moment, he felt a little angry.

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "The so-called six calamities of Taoism are the six calamities of extinction, and the Buddhists call it the cycle of creation, stasis, destruction and emptiness. All things rotate in yin and yang, and there is prosperity and decline, just like the spring and autumn of plants. They grow in spring, flourish in summer, and die in autumn and winter, and then reproduce again in the new spring."

“People can live through spring, summer, autumn and winter, but they feel sad when they see plants and ants.”

"The immortals and gods can live for an endless time, but they feel sad when they see humans grow old, get sick and die."

"The True Lord can witness all the laws of the universe, and feel sad when he sees the ordinary immortals, gods, and celestial beings finally fall into the cycle of reincarnation after the five declines."

"The way the gods look at people is like how people look at plants and trees. The birth and death, creation, existence, destruction and emptiness of the world are just a bigger spring, summer, autumn and winter for ordinary people. This is the final calamity."

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun narrated this final calamity, looked at Qi Wuhuo, and said calmly:

"How can we break the final calamity?"

“This final calamity will not appear until the entire world has prospered to a certain degree. But before that, the signs of the final calamity are already in the making. Outside this world, in a very distant place, boundless blazing heat and boundless coldness converge, giving birth to the [living beings] that will create the world in the next era, as well as the three thousand innate gods and demons of the next era.”

Qi Wuhuo said: "How about breaking the state of nirvana and the spirit of creation, and then solving the disasters of hot nirvana and cold nirvana?"

"Slash the spirit that created the world?"

The Three Pure Ones all had complicated feelings and sighed, while Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said:

"Good idea, but unfortunately, it's not enough."

"The final catastrophe you will see will occur in 20,000 years. In fact, by then, this is not the time for the final catastrophe to take place. This is the time for the God of Creation to be reborn."

"Rebirth..."

Qi Wuhuo murmured this sentence, seeming to understand something.

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Yes, as you think."

"Before this, the signs of the final catastrophe had already begun."

"The reason why it has not been exposed and has not implicated all living things is simply because the [living creatures] of this final calamity were suppressed for a short time as soon as they appeared."

Qi Wuhuo said to himself: "Eight thousand years ago?!"

Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly and said, "Yes..."

Qi Wuhuo closed his eyes, and all his previous confusions were explained at this moment.

Eight thousand years ago, there was a sudden change and the Four Imperial Kings fought against each other.

According to what Master Xuandu said.

At that time, the Jade Emperor personally attacked with a sword, and after the battle, his soul was severely damaged.

Although he was severely injured, he still took action personally and broke up the battle between Hou Tu Niangniang and Emperor Gou Chen. Gou Chen then went into seclusion and broke up the balance of power between Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole and Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole, allowing the Heavenly Court to return to a stable situation.

Then, who severely injured the Jade Emperor who was still able to separate the battle between Hou Tu Niangniang and Gou Chen Emperor? !

What's more, after the Jade Emperor, who was at the peak of his powers, had a secret talk with the Emperor of Beiji Ziwei for a night and fell asleep in the Lingxiao Palace with a sword in his hand, he lost his memory and had difficulty controlling his own skills?

Jade Purity Yuanshi Tianzun raised his sleeves and boundless streams of light gathered out, which was exactly the state described by Master Xuandu and Qi Wuhuo. One could see chaos all around, and the sky and earth were filled with shouts and sounds of killing. The starlight in the sky and the power of the earth veins were constantly clashing with each other, making the sky dark, the sun and the moon without their light, and the immortals and gods fleeing.

This is an era when many immortals and gods begin to let their ambitions grow.

It also caused the Emperor Dongyue to block Gou Chen's attack and was severely injured, resulting in the complete loss of his foundation.

In the picture, Master Xuandu stood in front of the Lingxiao Palace with a look of melancholy in his eyes.

Next to the Great Master Xuandu, the sword-wielding emperor walked past him with sharp brows and gentle eyes. There was a very strong smell of blood on him, and no one knew what kind of battle he had experienced that day.

In front of the Lingxiao Palace.

A broken ancient battle axe was placed there, exuding a vast, majestic and terrifying aura.

The Jade Emperor held the sword, and the breath of heaven always shrouded the sky, vast and boundless.

The scene froze, and the broken battle axe in front of the Lingxiao Palace expanded, emitting a solemn and desolate aura. Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun stretched out his hand, pointed at the battle axe, and said lightly: "Eight thousand years ago, for some reason, the creatures that represented the creation of the next era appeared ahead of time, bringing the final disaster."

"The Jade Emperor personally went into battle and killed this creature in advance."

"He himself was severely injured, and that represented the death of the power of the final catastrophe and the creatures that created the world."

"This is the truth of the catastrophe eight thousand years ago."

"The Jade Emperor's soul was severely damaged, and he had to reincarnate over the past eight thousand years."

"This is the motivation why the Donghua gods began to break through to a higher level at all costs."

"It is the beginning of the end."
