For a moment, countless thoughts surged in Tathagata's mind, causing this powerful quasi-saint to feel a little confused. Beside him, Randang had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He was the deputy leader of the Chan sect and a senior disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun.
After being deified, he betrayed his master and took a group of disciples of the Chan school to join the Western school, becoming today's Past Buddha.
This is absolutely a shame for the ancient Chan sect.
If Yuanshi Tianzun returns and sees this traitor who betrayed his master and ancestors, how will he deal with him?
With Yuanshi Tianzun's protective and face-conscious character.
I'm afraid... I will personally beat this traitor to death, even to the point of destroying his body and soul!
When he thought of the terrible consequences, even with his calm temperament, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Only Maitreya Buddha, when he heard the words "the saint will return", a glimmer of excitement in his eyes. He was different from Duobao and Dipankara. He was a native disciple of the Western religion and a direct disciple of Jie Yin and Zhunti.
The return of the saint is not a bad thing for him, but a great opportunity!
Today, the world is in chaos, the Qin Dynasty is rising, and Buddhism is restricted everywhere.
If the two masters could return and use their saintly powers to restore order, then he, the future Buddha, would be able to legitimately take charge of Buddhism and lead it to true prosperity!
Troubled times are the time when heroes emerge!
He seemed to have already seen the day when he would stand on the golden lotus of merit, with Buddha's light behind his head, and overlook the sentient beings in the three realms.
Duobao Tathagata tried to calm down, took a deep breath, and bowed solemnly to Zhen Yuanzi: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for clearing up my doubts."
Zhen Yuanzi accepted the gift calmly, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I am just following the will of heaven."
"That's all I have to say. It's time for me to take my leave."
…
The other side.
Southern Continent.
The Qin cavalry is still rolling forward.
The eight camps moved westward with unstoppable momentum, crushing the demon dynasties that were eroded by the calamity one by one.
As the territory of the Qin Dynasty expanded, the Jiuzhou barrier continued to extend westward, bringing more and more land and creatures under the protection of humanity.
Wherever the barrier passes, the evil spirits retreat and the pure spirits rise again.
Countless humans and demons who were struggling to survive in the chaotic times rushed to tell each other and voluntarily submitted, regarding the Qin soldiers as saviors sent from heaven.
The fortune of humanity is growing madly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This is still a result that has not been directly incorporated.
The other side.
The scenery of Uttarakuru is completely different from that of other continents in the prehistoric world.
There was no calamity in the sky, no demons fighting each other. Instead, there was vitality and majestic demonic energy soaring into the sky.
The bitter and cold land of the past has now become a rare pure land in the chaotic world.
Countless tribes of witches and demons lived and multiplied on this land. The endless evil spirit that almost crushed them in the past had long been purified by the power of the Qin's Tianxuan Mirror and the Jiuzhou barrier.
These years.
Relying on the massive contribution points gained from fighting against the extraterritorial demons for the Qin Dynasty, the two tribes exchanged countless skills, elixirs, and magical treasures.
Throughout Uttarakuru, vitality is recovering at an astonishing speed.
And this day.
A figure silently tore through the void and descended here.
It was the Crown Prince of Qin, Zhao Feng.
He took a step forward and came straight to the deepest part of this continent.
All I saw was an ancient, majestic palace exuding an endless wild atmosphere, standing quietly above the earth.
Shockingly.
It’s Pangu Palace!
Zhao Feng landed on the ground, bowed his head towards Pangu Temple, and said, "Daoist Nuwa is here, Zhao Feng wants to see you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice rang out from the Pangu Palace: "Daoist Zhao Feng, there is no need to be polite. Please come in."
Zhao Feng nodded in thanks and walked into Pangu Palace.
The hall is spacious and majestic.
In the center of the hall, the statue of Pangu exudes a terrifying aura that suppresses people for eternity.
And in this temple.
A figure with an extraordinary appearance was floating quietly.
It is the Virgin Nuwa!
Seeing Zhao Feng coming in, Nuwa's figure slowly descended from the void and smiled at Zhao Feng, "Hello, fellow Taoist."
Zhao Feng returned the greeting and asked with concern, "How is your injury recovering?"
Nuwa smiled calmly, but her voice was filled with helplessness, and then she said, "If you want to fully recover, I'm afraid it will take another thousand years."
"You have conformed to the rules of creation, and you have suffered a Dao injury. It is not easy to recover!"
Nuwa led Zhao Feng to sit down in the hall and said with a soft smile: "Everything is stable in Northern Juluzhou. Daoyou came here today. I don't think you came here specially to visit me, right?"
To this.
Zhao Feng said frankly: "There is indeed something I would like to ask you."
"My current cultivation level is only one step away from the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan Daluo."
“But this step seems to be separated by an insurmountable chasm.”
"I can see it, but I can't touch it. No matter how hard I try to comprehend it, I can't step out of it."
"I know. If I go to Bajing Palace to ask for advice, Taoist Taishang may be able to help me solve my doubts."
"But compared to him, I trust you more."
Taishang Laojun is a Taoist saint and the leader of Xuanmen.
Although he is on good terms with the Qin Dynasty, he is too mysterious after all and it is impossible for him to teach the real core avenue.
But Nuwa is different. Her fate has long been connected with that of the Qin Dynasty and the human race. They prosper together and suffer together.
Nuwa was not surprised after hearing this. She pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Daoyou, do you know the difference between the way of the saints, the way of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and proving the way with strength?"
Although Zhao Feng knew about this, he certainly didn't know as much as Nuwa did, so he immediately said, "I'd like to hear more about it."
Nuwa smiled and said, "The way of the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian can also be called the way of rules."
“This way does not rely on external things, does not seek heaven and earth, but seeks from oneself.”
A mysterious breath of creation flowed from Nuwa's fingertips: "Find an original rule, comprehend it, master it, and finally, turn yourself into the carrier of this rule and become one with the rule."
"If the rules are not destroyed, then I will not be destroyed."
“After mastering this path, one can be free and unfettered, not bound by heaven and earth. Even if the great wilderness is shattered and a catastrophe comes, one can still survive it safely.”
"In the chaos of the past, the three thousand demon gods took this path."
Zhao Feng nodded thoughtfully.
Use your own strength to control the rules.
This coincides with the path he has always pursued.
Nuwa continued, "The second is the way of the saints."
"This way seeks heaven and earth."
She raised her eyes, her gaze seemed to penetrate Pangu Palace and look at the endless sky. "This way is exactly the opposite of the way of rules. It is not to control the rules, but to place one's own soul on the way of heaven, to be in harmony with the way of heaven, and thus to draw on the great power of heaven and earth in the entire prehistoric world."
"With a single thought, one can mobilize the laws of heaven and earth. With just one word, the law comes true. In the prehistoric world, one is invincible."
"But this path has both advantages and disadvantages."
Nuwa sighed and said, "To be in harmony with the Way of Heaven means to be deeply bound to this world."
“When the world prospers, the saints become strong; when the world declines, the saints become weak.”
"If the great wilderness is destroyed, the saints will also perish."
"I, the Three Pure Ones, Jie Yin, and Zhunti, are walking on this path."
"That's why, after the Conferred God Tribulation, Daozu asked us to return to the Primal Chaos and not set foot in the Primal World."
"Because every move of saints like us will affect the operation of the laws of nature. If we are not careful, it will trigger unpredictable disasters."
Hearing this, Zhao Feng's mind suddenly became clear.
turn out to be.
There is such a huge difference between the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and the saint.
certainly.
Although I had some understanding before, it was not thorough and comprehensive. Now it is like a saint personally explaining it to me.
One is one’s own strength.
The other is to rely on the power of heaven and earth.
Nuwa looked at Zhao Feng and continued, "As for the third way, it is the legendary way of proving the truth with strength."
"This path is the most difficult, and also the most domineering."
"Not practicing the rules is not in accordance with the Way of Heaven. What you practice is your own supreme power that is enough to create the world!"
"With absolute power, break all shackles, transcend all rules, attain the Great Dao, and achieve eternal and immortal dignity."
"Throughout the ages, the only one who has truly walked this path is Father Pangu."
After listening to Nuwa's explanation, Zhao Feng fell silent.
Three paths were clearly presented before him.
Each one leads to the pinnacle of power.
But each one is completely different.
He carefully experienced the essential differences between these three paths.
The way of rules is to be free and at ease, and to be detached from the world.
The way of a sage is to control heaven and earth, with unparalleled power, but also to be bound by constraints.
He proved his truth with force, dominated the universe, was the only one in the history, but he also escaped death many times.
for a long time.
Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at Nuwa: "What do you think I should choose?"
Nuwa looked at him, smiled sweetly, and said, "Daoyou, you shouldn't ask me this question, but ask your own heart."
"Other people can only walk on their own path."
"You, the Crown Prince of the Great Qin, the Lord of Humanity, the future conqueror of all the heavens and worlds, your path can only be walked by yourself."
"but……"
Nuwa changed the subject and said with a smile: "If you don't mind, I can analyze it for you."
Zhao Feng said solemnly: "Please give me your advice."
Nuwa looked at Zhao Feng carefully and said, "With your current foundation, you can actually take any of these three paths."
"Let me talk about the way of the saints first."
"You are in charge of humanity, and you are responsible for the fate of the entire Qin Dynasty, and even the entire human race."
"Now the Great Qin's Nine Provinces barrier is even more connected to the prehistoric earth veins, and it has the potential to control the underground tunnels."
"If you wish, you can always follow Hou Tu's example, align your body with the Tao, and become a saint instantly."
“By then, you will be a saint of humanity, or a saint of earth, with a high status, on par with the rest of us.”
“But…” Nuwa shook her head and said, “I know you are proud and arrogant, and you will never be willing to be bound by this small primitive world.”
"So, you won't choose this path."
Zhao Feng nodded when he heard this.
Just as Nuwa said.
His journey is to all the heavens and the worlds, to the sea of stars.
How could he trap himself and die in this corner of the wilderness?
Nuwa continued: "Let's talk about proving the truth with strength."
"This path is difficult, but fellow Daoist... you are not without a chance."
As she spoke, Nuwa looked at Zhao Feng deeply and said, "You have great luck and control over humanity. You have gathered the power of faith of billions of lives. If you use this power properly, you may be able to reproduce the great feat of Father God in creating the world."
"However, this road is too dangerous and the timing is not right yet. I don't recommend you to try it lightly until you are absolutely sure."
"So, the most suitable path for you now is the first path - the path of rules."
“Find an origin rule, use your own strength to comprehend it thoroughly, take the last step, and achieve the Dao Fruit of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!”
"By then, you will have the strength to compete with the saints. If you advance, you can slowly try to prove your truth with your strength; if you retreat, you can also roam freely outside the world without any constraints."
"This is the safest and most suitable path for you as the Crown Prince of Qin."
Nuwa's words instantly dispelled all the fog in Zhao Feng's heart.
His thoughts became clearer than ever before.
Zhao Feng stood up and bowed solemnly to Nuwa: "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Taoist."
Nuwa accepted it calmly and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, fellow Daoist. You and I are allies. The stronger you are, the better it will be for me and the two tribes of witches and liches in the entire Northern Julu Continent."
Zhao Feng sat down again and asked the last and most crucial question: "May I ask, fellow Taoist, do you think that the rules I have realized now can serve as the foundation for me to attain the Dao of Hun Yuan?"
In the ancient world, there are three thousand main roads and eight hundred side doors.
There are more than billions of rules.
It is crucial to choose which rule as your future path.
Once you make the wrong choice, at best your path to enlightenment will be cut off, at worst you may go astray.
What Zhao Feng realized was the rules of chaos and the power of evolving thousands of rules.
This one is very difficult.
Upon hearing this, Nuwa smiled and said, "My fellow Daoist, you really are... sitting on a mountain of treasures without even realizing it."
Zhao Feng heard this and smiled slightly: "I'd like to hear your advice."
The purpose of coming here today is to clear the way to Hunyuan Daluo and the realm of martial arts, so even if Zhao Feng has a clear understanding in his heart, he still needs Nuwa to point out a few things.
Nuwa looked at him and said with a smile: "You have a chaotic physique, comprehend the rules of chaos, and transform the power of thousands of rules. If you can prove your Dao with this, your Dao will even surpass the great god Pangu of the past."
"Chaos, what is it?"
"It is... the beginning of all things, the source of the great way."
Speaking of this.
Nuwa has paused.
To this.
Zhao Feng naturally nodded solemnly.
"It seems that I have been on the right path all along."
"The rules of chaos."
"This is my path." Zhao Feng said slowly. After Nuwa's guidance, Zhao Feng also clearly knew the power of the rules he had realized.
Even the saint Nuwa was envious.
Nuwa spoke again: "The rules of chaos are the general principles of all things."
"Three thousand great ways all evolved from chaos."
"If you can prove your truth with the rules of chaos, it is equivalent to mastering the origin of all rules!"
"By then, your Hunyuan Dao Fruit will be a thousand or ten thousand times more powerful than an ordinary Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian!"
"By then, you can even reverse chaos, evolve earth, water, fire and wind, open up yin and yang and the five elements, and create your own rules of the avenue!"
"This is the true Lord of Humanity, the supreme path that he should take!"
