Chapter 1223 Great Events Accomplished
Shenxiao Palace.
An uninvited guest stood in the center of the hall. He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the statue of Tai Chi God enshrined in front of the hall with great interest.
The statue's face is about 70% similar to Gao Xian. He wears a black and white robe, with a dark golden nine-pointed star hanging behind his head. He has a calm expression and deep eyes, and a long sword hangs from his waist.
No one knows what material the statue is made of, but it is dozens of feet tall, and has a majestic and sacred aura, as well as an unfathomable mystery.
The middle-aged man had such a broad vision and insight that he could naturally see that the statue carried the divine power of Tai Chi and became the foundation for gathering the wills of countless practitioners in the human world.
This statue is also the center of Qingyun Sect, and even the center of the entire Youzhou. It can be regarded as the incarnation of Taiji God Gao Xian.
It took this young cultivator only a few thousand years to spread his fame throughout the human world and forge such a deep foundation in Shintoism.
No wonder Ji Le died at the hands of the other party...
The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. Fate is unpredictable. At the end of the era, Ji Le will die in the hands of an unknown junior. What a disaster! Gao Xian is famous in the human world, but he has only risen in a few thousand years.
Considering the span of an entire era, the time Gao Xian spent practicing Taoism was too short, so short that it is not worth mentioning.
If we start counting from the ancient times, in such a long span of time, there have been many earth-shaking and powerful people who have left behind various great achievements.
In comparison, what can Gao Xian be? Having said that, being able to establish the Nine Continents Skynet, control the human world through the Nine Continents, and concentrate the willpower of the human world in one person, this ability should not be underestimated.
The middle-aged man felt something and turned around, and saw Gao Xian, who was wearing a black and white robe, floating in from the side hall. The middle-aged man took the initiative to smile and bow his head to greet him: "I am Taiyi, a humble Taoist, and I am honored to meet you, Taoist Fellow Gao."
Gao Xian looked deeply at the middle-aged man, who had elegant and delicate features and wore a purple Taoist robe with countless runes and prohibitions on it, forming a dragon, phoenix, crane, turtle, sun, moon and stars.
Looking more closely, this middle-aged man has a halo on his head, and the purple Taoist robe he wears is actually made up of a mixture of seventy-two colors of divine light, which is extremely gorgeous and magical.
There is no doubt that the other party is Taiyi Minghuang, one of the Three Emperors.
The Jade Emperor Taishang, the Ming Emperor Taiyi, and the Golden Emperor Taihua are the three unified emperors, but they are just three different states of this cultivator.
The Daluo Sect's Daluo Hua Shen Jing, the so-called One Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones, is derived from the direct teachings of the Three Emperors.
Daohong, Zhizhen, and Xuanming Tianzun are all his descendants.
Gao Xian's main training in Daluo Hunyuan Yangshen was also derived from this man's secret method. In terms of his master, Taiyi Minghuang could definitely be considered his ancestor.
If it were in the past, Gao Xian would really have to bow down and call him the ancestor and hold on to this tall figure.
He had attained the level of Tai Chi and was already the strongest in the world, but it was no longer possible for him to cling to others, let alone kneel down to others.
No matter how powerful Taiyi Minghuang was, he could only be considered a pioneer, his predecessor, and worthy of respect. But that was all!
The Four Gods had just arrived in the human world, and Taiyi Minghuang came directly to him. It seemed that he was here to make friends with him? Gao Xian bowed politely in return, and he asked directly: "Your Majesty, I wonder what you can do for me?"
Taiyi Minghuang smiled and said, "I heard that Ji Le was sent to Nirvana by fellow Taoists, so I came here to invite fellow Taoists to drink and celebrate together."
"Oh?" Gao Xian's deep and bright eyes showed a questioning look. He could understand the incoherent words, but he didn't like Taiyi Minghuang's way of speaking.
Obviously, drinking and celebrating together was just an excuse of Emperor Taiyi Minghuang.
It is very interesting to say that the Daluo Sect's inheritance was all Taiyi Minghuang, but at this person it became Taiyi, and Taiyi became the title of the Demon Lord.
Over the long course of time, it is unknown whether such errors in names were caused by some unexpected events or whether they were intentional.
Taiyi Minghuang naturally understood Gao Xian's meaning. He pondered for a moment and said, "Jile claims to have a pure method, saying that all practitioners have Prajna. As long as you get rid of the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance, you can awaken Prajna, have both blessings and wisdom, and live in long-term happiness without suffering.
"This statement is absolutely ridiculous! I hate it!"
Gao Xian was a little confused. Doesn't Taoism emphasize purity and tranquility the most? Why did the founder of Taoism say this?
Taiyi Minghuang continued, "You must know that cultivators are selfish by nature, and greed, anger, and ignorance are all innate, not external things.
"We cultivators need great determination and wisdom to subdue our nature and practice the great way of cultivation."
"Jile, you have misled others and yourself, and ruined the righteous path. His method has been passed down widely, and the poison is endless... Fortunately, fellow Taoists helped Jile to be free, and also eliminated this harmful method from the root!"
Speaking of Jile, Taiyi Minghuang made no secret of his disdain, as if he really hated Jile.
Gao Xian could understand this. He didn't like Ji Le's method, and he didn't like Ji Le's condescending attitude of saving people from suffering.
From his point of view, the main purpose of Ji Le is to attract believers and gain power. As for saving sentient beings from suffering, Ji Le does not have the ability to do so.
Taiyi Minghuang obtained the approval of Gaoxian and was even more rude to Jile, listing many of Jile's crimes and evil deeds.
As he was speaking, he changed the subject, "Daoyou, although Ji Le deserves to die, Tai Yi, Yuan Mo, and Yuan Shi deserve to be killed even more!"
"Oh?" Gao Xian put on an attitude of listening attentively. He wanted to hear what Taiyi Minghuang had to say.
"Cultivators are selfish, greed, anger, and ignorance are their nature. However, after nurturing, cultivators can overcome their nature. The reason why they become possessed by demons is that the three demon lords used various methods to bring chaos to the world, causing all living beings to hate and kill each other.
"The three demon lords absorbed all kinds of hatred, anger, and resentment from it to nourish their own cultivation..."
At this point, Taiyi Minghuang's expression also became solemn: "At the end of the era, the world is in turmoil, the spiritual energy is decaying, and all living beings are trapped in the sea of suffering. Naturally, they will have all kinds of resentment and anger. If they are guided by the demon lords, the hearts of all living beings will become demonic. Not only will they die, but they will also help to increase the power of the demon lords.
"Even though you have the Wanjie Yin Fu Gun to protect you, it is still difficult for you to survive this catastrophe. Moreover, you have made it your mission to save all living beings, so how can you sit back and watch the Demon Lord wreak havoc on the world..."
Gao Xian nodded slightly. These words really hit the point.
The Tai Chi God gathered the power of the world's will, and at this time all living beings were full of resentment, which brought a lot of negative power.
He can still withstand the backlash of his wish power with the help of the Wanjie Yin Fu Spear, but the problem is that there are still a few demon lords who will definitely take advantage of the situation and confuse people.
At that time, the world was in chaos and he couldn't suppress it!
He asked, "What does the Emperor Ming mean?"
Taiyi Minghuang's eyes also became sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Daoyou has gathered the willpower of cultivators from all over the world, and now the momentum is strong. Several demon lords have just descended to the human world, and they have not had time to use their various methods.
"Now is the best time to take action to deal with the demon lords!"
He added firmly: "This move is for the benefit of all people in the world, and also for us to prove our Dao and overcome the tribulation. It kills two birds with one stone. I am willing to help you with all my strength."
Gao Xian pondered in silence. He had already guessed Taiyi Minghuang's intention, but he did not quite trust him.
Why did he trust Taiyi Minghuang just because he was the founder of Taoism?
Taiyi Minghuang said directly: "This matter concerns life and death, and it is natural for Taoist friends to have doubts."
"It's very simple. I will go down first to find the Demon Lord and you can just support me from behind! This will be enough to prove my sincerity!"
Gao Xian thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any plans, fellow Taoist?"
"This matter is simple. The Yuan Mo is fierce and violent, while Tai Yi is cold and cruel, and the original is deep."
Taiyi Minghuang said: "Let's kill Yuanmo first. Taiyi and Yuanshi will never intervene to help. As long as Yuanmo dies, the situation will be in our hands.
"Even if the remaining Taiyi and Yuanshi join forces, they are still no match for us."
Taiyi Minghuang shook his head and said, "Although the three demon lords have a connection, they are incompatible with each other. Among them, Yuanshi claims to be born from the beginning and the master of all living things, and he does not take other gods seriously..."
This Taoist master knew that Gao Xian had only practiced for a short time and didn't know much about the Demon Lords. He took the initiative to explain to Gao Xian the origins of the three Demon Lords, the fundamentals of their practice, etc...
It was related to the cultivation of the Demon Lords, but it was difficult to describe it clearly in words. Emperor Taiyi Ming gave Gao Xian a golden seal of creation, which contained the life stories and various magical powers of the three Demon Lords.
Gao Xian took the Golden Seal of Creation. His spiritual consciousness was so powerful now that the Golden Seal of Creation only carried some spiritual memories. He had read the contents the moment he took it.
He played with the three-inch square Golden Seal of Creation and asked casually, "Fellow Daoist, I wonder what the Golden Book of Creation says?"
The Golden Book of Fortune restricted the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even when the spiritual energy of the central nervous system of heaven and earth had dissipated, the Golden Book of Fortune could still function. Gao Xian, who had reached this level of cultivation, was unable to see through the Golden Book of Fortune.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Taiyi Minghuang came to him on his own initiative, so Gao Xian of course wanted to get to the bottom of it.
This is not curiosity, but the Golden Book of Creation is extremely important, enough to change the entire battle.
"The Golden Book of Creation is the embodiment of the innate laws, but it was placed in the human world in this era to restrain spiritual energy. The original intention was not to control the cultivators, but to maintain the stability of the spiritual energy in the human world..."
After Taiyi Minghuang's explanation, Gao Xian suddenly understood and everything made sense.
The Golden Book of Creation is such a powerful artifact, but it is used to control cultivators in the human world. Gao Xian used to think that it was no problem, but now he realizes that it is too ridiculous.
Even without the restrictions of the Golden Book of Fortune, based on the spiritual energy level of the human world, at most there would be eleventh-level cultivators, which posed no threat to the many powerful people in the heavenly world.
Using the Golden Book of Creation to stabilize the spiritual energy of the human world and prevent it from quickly collapsing is actually maintaining the foundation of the heavenly world. In this way, it makes perfect sense.
Therefore, the gods only hold the Golden Seal of Creation, which can control the Golden Book of Creation to a certain extent, but it is not enough to completely control the Golden Book of Creation.
In other words, if both sides hold the Golden Seal of Creation, the Golden Book of Creation will be useless.
What we really need to consider is the strength of both sides.
Several demon lords were powerful warriors from the ancient era, and had lived until this era, so their accumulation was extremely profound. Moreover, they had long known about the end of the era, and they must have made many preparations for it.
The good news is that no matter how you accumulate, the power of the thirteenth level has a limit.
This means that no matter how much time is accumulated and how much preparation is made, the thirteenth-level strongman will be killed. Just like the bliss! Gao Xian asked: "When do you plan to take action?"
Taiyi Minghuang said sternly: "There is no time to lose, how about we start today?"
He emphasized: "The longer the delay, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen..."
Taiyi Minghuang, who had lived for who knows how many epochs, was so efficient and decisive. This was far beyond Gao Xian's expectations.
You should know that the longer an intelligent being lives, the more he will think and the calmer he will be in doing things. This is his nature.
Besides, for a strong man like Taiyi Minghuang, the key is not how to win, but not to lose!
Hastily teaming up with a stranger he had just met to kill the Demon Lord seemed too hasty no matter how you looked at it, and it didn't seem like something a God would do at all.
Even if he is a young boy, he should at least drink a few glasses of wine to have the courage to do such a bad thing...
Gao Xian was silent for a moment and said, "I need to think about it and give you a reply tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll wait for good news from you, fellow Taoist." Taiyi Minghuang didn't waste any words and simply bowed and took his leave.
As Gao Xian watched Taiyi Minghuang's figure slowly disappear, his eyes gradually became deep.
Both the Buddha of Bliss and Jin Ruyi said that the original demon master controlled several gods, including the Three Emperors! Jin Ruyi's rank was too low, so his words could only be regarded as gossip.
There are deep conflicts among the several gods, and the words of the Lord of Bliss Buddha are more likely to be an emotional release, or an attempt to intimidate him, so they should not be taken seriously.
Several gods fell from heaven together, but the Lord of Bliss entered the human world a hundred years earlier. There must be a story behind this!
It's better to believe that such things are true and always act with caution.
Just like when Taiyi Minghuang took the initiative to come to seek cooperation and mentioned the three demon lords, it didn't sound reliable at all.
Gao Xian just used his spiritual sense to observe and did not see any problems with Taiyi Minghuang.
Taiyi Minghuang had been cultivating for countless epochs, and his cultivation might not be higher than his, but it was definitely more refined than his. In these subtle changes, the other party had been honing for countless tens of thousands of years, and he was not comparable.
Just because he can't see the problem doesn't mean that Taiyi Minghuang really has no problem.
That being said, if the original demon lord really wanted to infect a few gods, wouldn't it be better to just bring the three gods to besiege him? !
As long as several gods have accumulated their willpower, it will not be difficult to overthrow the Nine Continents.
Thinking in this way, Taiyi Minghuang's active cooperation is indeed a good opportunity!
Gao Xian stood in the center of the hall, deep in thought. Various thoughts came to his mind one after another, but he couldn't make sense of them for a while.
It involved several top gods and the secrets of the era, and no one could help him solve the puzzle. His cultivation time was too short.
Fortunately, he killed the Buddha of Bliss and gained some of his experience. However, the things left by the broken consciousness could not be compared with the real inheritance. There were many things that were unclear! One day passed in the blink of an eye. At noon the next day, when the sun was at its zenith, Taiyi Minghuang arrived at the Shenxiao Palace again.
As soon as Taiyi Minghuang entered the hall, he saw Gao Xian, who was standing in the center of the hall, exactly the same position as when he left yesterday.
It can be seen that this person is really considering it seriously!
He smiled lightly and bowed his head to greet her: "Fellow Daoist, how is it?"
Gao Xian opened his eyes and looked directly at Taiyi Minghuang. He said in a deep voice: "I have decided. I will do as you said. Let's kill Yuanmo first, then Taiyi and Yuanshi!"
Taiyi Minghuang's purple eyes showed joy, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Great things have been accomplished!"
