Chapter 566

Cloud Mist Great World, Firecloud Mountain, Human Emperor's Palace.

Many men and women dressed in extravagant and complicated clothes, and their actions seemed to place great emphasis on etiquette, status, and status were gathered in the hall. They were bowing to a man who looked rather young.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Guo Daocheng, who was only about ten years old, was at the age where he looked forward to all kinds of heroic and legendary deeds. Therefore, as he paid his respects, he secretly looked at the legendary Sacred Emperor, feeling excited and nervous. "This is the Sacred Emperor who led the human race from the Great Thousand World where Great Fey, Divine Spirits, and Great Shamans existed side by side, to create a prosperous era for the human race? You really live up to your reputation! "

Although Heavenly Emperor Baili Che had an ordinary appearance, he exuded an aura that could nourish all living beings. He gave off a feeling that he was as bright as the stars and as clear as a river. Everyone couldn't help but be convinced and worship him with sincerity.

"Everyone here is from the royal family of the various dynasties. There's no need to be so polite."

Baili Che revealed a smile as he slowly spoke.

After everyone paid their respects, an old man with long eyebrows stood up. "Your Majesty, are you really going to leave this Great Thousand World? This is a great foundation that you've created through your blood, sweat, and tears. "

The various dynasties officially addressed Baili Che as "Human Emperor". However, due to his holy virtue, they often addressed him as "Saint Emperor".

Baili Che waved his hand and said, "Of course I have to leave, and I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

The old man was reluctant, but he asked curiously, "What are you waiting for, Your Majesty? Where are you going after leaving this Great Thousand World? If we can break through and travel the void, we'll go pay our respects to you. "

Baili Che smiled and said, "I'm leaving this time to go to Yu Yutian to pay my master, Tianxuan Daozu, and formally listen to his teachings and continue cultivating."

Everyone was a little confused, and they said in unison, "Your Majesty, you're well-versed in literature and martial arts, and your cultivation is unparalleled. Why do you still want to continue cultivating?"

Baili Che laughed and said, "I've just started cultivating, and there are still endless things to see. Alright, there's no need to say anything else. I'll be leaving. "

Although everyone was reluctant, the Sacred Emperor had accumulated a lot of prestige and virtue, so they still said respectfully,

"Farewell, Your Majesty!"

After thinking for a while, they added, "That's right.

"Farewell, Your Majesty, on your ascension to Yu Yutian!"

Amid the congratulations, Baili Che disappeared from the Human Emperor Palace with a flash of dazzling starlight.

Yu Yutian, Penglai.

Penglai Sect in Yuyu Heaven.

As soon as Baili Che descended onto the island, he saw an adorable little girl in an emerald green dress hiding behind a towering tree with her back facing him. She was holding a juicy fruit in her hands and munching on it with an intoxicated and satisfied look on her face. A yellowish-brown monkey tail stretched out from beneath her dress and swayed from side to side in a very contented manner.

Sensing Baili Che's arrival, the little girl in the emerald dress stuffed the fruit into her mouth, retracted her tail, and jumped up to Baili Che.

She said with a smile, "I'm Qingsuo, a disciple of the Sect Master. I'm here to welcome you, Junior Brother Baili Che. Yes, the Sect Master said that if you arrive, you can directly pay your respects to him."

Baili Che finally understood that his master had foreseen that he would come today, so he said with a smile, "Senior Sister Qingsuo, please lead the way." This little girl called Qingsuo had a sharp aura, and it seemed that her cultivation was extraordinary. His master was the Jinxian Daoist, and even his disciples were so powerful!

Qingsuo waved her hands and led Baili Che into the depths of Penglai, briefly introducing the things and cultivators they saw along the way.

When the two of them arrived in front of Shi Xuan's quiet cultivation room, a man and two women walked out of the door.

The man had purple hair and was dressed in a gorgeous purple robe. He was very handsome. One of the women was dressed in a green dress, elegant and pleasant, and had a wonderful posture. The other was dressed in a white chiffon dress, delicate and pure like the water, giving off a feeling of raging waves. She had an oppressive aura.

Qingsuo immediately smiled when she saw them. After greeting them, she went up and chatted for a long time. After the three cultivators left, she finally stopped introducing them to Baili Che.

"The purple-haired man is the Sect Master's good friend, Mr. Jian Tonghui. After several reincarnations, he finally reached the Zenith Heaven Realm.

"The woman in the white dress is Mr. Jian Tonghui's wife, Miss Kong Ran. She's also the Sect Master's good friend, and she's the Five Elements Daoist's biological daughter.

"The woman in the white dress is the Five Elements Daoist's personal disciple, Qi Si. She's also the Sect Master's Golden Immortal. Yes, she's the Later Heavenly Water's Daozu. She's good friends with Miss Kong Ran, and they've come to visit the Sect Master together."

Baili Che listened quietly as he nodded. These people were probably big shots who commanded the heavens and realms.

After introducing them one by one, Qingsuo led Baili Che to Shi Xuan's quiet cultivation room.

As soon as they entered the quiet room, Baili Che's eyes lit up. Clouds rippled and white mist floated in the air. The whole quiet room seemed to have become a world of its own, vast and boundless.

In the middle of the white clouds was a small stone room. Many towering trees grew in front of the stone room, and stone tables, stone stools, and other things were placed under the trees.

At this moment, a young cultivator in a green robe was sitting behind the stone table facing Baili Che. He had an otherworldly charm and was carefree and at ease. Behind him, there was a black-and-white Yin Yang fish, head to tail, slowly rotating, forming a huge and illusory Tai Chi diagram.

Baili Che's mind almost sank into the Tai Chi diagram when he saw it. He forced himself to calm down, took a step forward, and kowtowed three times and nine times.

"Disciple Baili Che pays respect to Master."

Shi Xuan gently nodded. "You may rise. I'm very pleased that you've become a Saint Emperor. Today, you'll officially become my disciple. "

"Thank you for your grace, Master." Baili Che stood up and obediently stood to the side.

Seeing this, Shi Xuan smiled and said, "I'm actually very easygoing. Che 'er, you don't have to be so formal. Your Senior Sister Wan' er has done a good job in this regard."

"Yes, Master," Baili Che replied respectfully.

Shi Xuan shook his head with a smile and did not say anything else. He asked Baili Che to sit across from him at the stone table and asked Qing Suo to pour him tea. "How many Holy Virtues of the Boundless Worlds have you gathered over the years?"

Baili Che understood that his master was both chatting and testing him on his homework. He did not dare to neglect and answered, "I've been reincarnated several times and gathered the holy virtues of six Boundless Worlds. Three of the Boundless Worlds were led by the newly born human race. Surrounded by the Gods of Nature in the Heavenly Court, the Great Demons in the mountains and rivers, and the Wu Tribe in the plains, I passed down the methods of farming, cultivation, and body-building. Then, I overcame all obstacles and faced difficulties. I didn't know how many years it took me to defeat the powerful enemies one by one and create a dynasty that united all tribes."

"The other two Boundless Worlds arrived too late, and the Human Tribe had been completely wiped out. Therefore, I led the Wu Tribe, who were constantly retreating, to defeat countless attacks and plots, overthrew the Heavenly Court, and killed the Great Demons."

"The last Boundless World was the Human Tribe's momentum, but due to an accident, the operation of heaven and earth became chaotic, which could only be stabilized by the Gods. Therefore, I established a dynasty and fought in the Battle of Gods Investiture. Finally, the Gods were restored, and the operation of heaven and earth returned to normal."

Shi Xuan picked up the teacup, sipped the tea, and said leisurely, "You've been the Saint Emperor for so many years, so you must have experienced many changes in dynasties?"

Hearing this, Baili Che smiled bitterly, took a sip of tea, and said, "Master, you're right. Originally, with my disciple as the Sage Emperor, there shouldn't have been a change in the dynasty. However, as time passed, the entire dynasty gradually deteriorated, and because of my disciple's existence, all those who wanted to rebel were deterred. As a result, the common people and ordinary cultivators lived miserable lives, until a spark ignited everything. "

"During the whole process, I've been ruthless. But usually, after one time, there would only be two or three thousand years of peace. Unless I devoted myself to maintaining the dynasty, there wouldn't be a prosperous dynasty that lasted for countless years. But if I did that, it would delay my own cultivation. You can't have your cake and eat it too. Therefore, after careful consideration, I announced that I would no longer care about these things and let them develop."

"Since then, I've come to understand what it means to rule by doing nothing, and what it means to never rot."

"All things have a beginning and an end. And what connects the two is the process of things flourishing, flourishing, and declining. Without attaining the Great Dao, one can't get rid of the impermanence of 'life and death'." Shi Xuan linked the changes in dynasties with cultivation, using the things that Baili Che was most familiar with to explain the most ordinary but most profound principles. "And to attaining the Great Dao, one must understand the impermanence of 'life and death', the process of beginning and end."

As Baili Che quietly pondered over his master's words, Shi Xuan continued with a smile, and said, "Over the years, when the dynasties changed, there should have been many interesting things."

As they chatted more and more, Baili Che had let go of his reservations. As he sipped his tea, he faintly smiled and told his master about all kinds of interesting things.

"In one of the last years of the dynasty, the barbarians invaded, and the capital was conquered. A young general from the Western Frontier led an army of one hundred thousand and launched a counterattack. He fought more than a hundred battles, big and small, but never suffered a single defeat. In the end, he defeated ten of them and ascended to the throne."

"There was a young lady from a noble family who fell in love with a scholar and eloped with him. But later on, when the scholar obtained glory and wealth, he abandoned her. All her love and effort went down the drain. After sitting in a daze for three days, she set fire to her courtyard and burned all her belongings. Then, using a low-level cultivation technique passed down in her family, she painstakingly cultivated for more than ten years and killed the scholar and his entire family."

"There was a place called the Crescent River, a place where fireworks flourished. Ever since it was first built, every few hundred years it would be destroyed by chaotic battles and battles of magic. But before long, it would flourish again. Up until now, it has been destroyed seven times, and no one knows how many generations have passed on in between."

…

Under the pure white clouds and a cool breeze, Baili Che spoke tirelessly of all the interesting things he had experienced or witnessed. He really gave off a carefree feeling.

In the end, Baili Che asked about the principles that his master had just taught him. "Master, where there is life, there is death, and where there is a beginning, there is an end. I understand now, but how does this relate to attaining the Great Dao?"

Shi Xuan nodded and smiled. "As your master, I can't tell you the specifics of attaining the Great Dao. Otherwise, it would be harmful to you. Today, I'll tell you about what happens after attaining the Great Dao."

Baili Che's expression turned solemn as he listened attentively.

"The so-called Unification of the Dao is the process of all things returning to the Dao. The condensation of the Dao Seed signifies the completion of the Great Dao, and the birth of the Dao." Shi Xuan began to explain concisely.

"On the other hand, the fusion of the opposite Dao Seed is the process of one being two.

"If there are two Great Dao, one is the beginning, and the other is the end, then the corresponding process of life and death will lack the process of flourishing, flourishing, and declining. It will also lack the process of transforming the beginning into the end. Or, it can be done the reverse way, lacking the process of transforming the end into the beginning."

"If one wishes to achieve another creation on this path, then one must use the two Dao Seeds — the beginning and the end — as the foundation to give birth to the Great Dao of flourishing, flourishing, and declining. Or, the Great Dao of transforming the end into the beginning. This is known as two begets three. After that, three begets all things, and one obtains eternity."

"The Great Dao of flourishing, flourishing, and declining can be the Five Elements and Taixu. The Great Dao of transforming the end into the beginning can be Nirvana, but it can also be both, such as …"

Under Baili Che and Qing Suo's shocked gazes, Shi Xuan's voice gradually became ethereal. The Great Yin-Yang Auspicious Cloud of Shangqing flew out from his Niwan Palace. Two lotuses bloomed on the auspicious cloud. One was a fresh lotus with intertwining black and white, and the other was a terrifying and dark lotus that seemed to be the end of all things.

The two lotuses flew out together and landed in the illusory Tai Chi diagram behind Shi Xuan, which happened to be in the eyes of the Yin and Yang fish. Immediately, the will of opening, splitting, and giving birth to all things, as well as the will of the end of the road and the will of the end of the future filled the Tai Chi diagram and gradually blended together.

From the beginning to the end, and from the end to the beginning, that was Tai Chi!

This was the Great Dao that belonged to Shi Xuan himself!

Shi Xuan felt that he was independent of the universe, standing quietly in the void. Beneath his feet was the endlessly flowing River of Time.

In the River of Time, everything about Shi Xuan gradually became clear:

There was Shi Xuan who had just traveled through time and was cautious; there was Shi Xuan who knew Xu Jinyi, Madam Fang, and Xu Tianqi; there was Shi Xuan who knew Ding Mingde and Yan Jujian; there was Shi Xuan who brought Chu Wan'er to the north; there was Shi Xuan who listened to Daoquanzi's ancient stories in the Huilong Temple;

There was Shi Xuan, who took risks with Mo Jingqiu in the Universe Cauldron and came into contact with the secrets of the Five Elements Daozu and the Grand Void Daozu for the first time;

There was Shi Xuan, who did not move his heart in the face of the Dao Fetus at the end of his life;

There was Shi Xuan, who caused a few battles between Golden Immortals;

There was Shi Xuan, who stuck to his heart and survived the Five Decays of the Heavens and became a Zenith Heaven Immortal;

There was Shi Xuan, who witnessed the failure and success of the Dao Unification and found his own path of Dao Unification after receiving the feedback of the oath in his heart;

There was Shi Xuan, who killed the Nirvana Daoist;

All of the Shi Xuan looked at the sky and Shi Xuan, who was standing quietly on the River of Time. Then, they turned into spots of light and entered Shi Xuan's body, becoming one with him.

The ones left in the River of Time were just illusions. Even if they were broken, they would be restored.

The River of Time surged and roared, and Shi Xuan could no longer distinguish between the past, present, and future.

(End of the book)

PS: After writing it, I felt exhausted. I'll finish this speech in two days.

PS2: Regarding the ending of the others, to put it in a more hipster way, they already have their own destiny, and I don't want to interfere anymore. To put it in a more normal way, no matter how I write it, there will definitely be a large number of people who will be dissatisfied, so I might as well open up the ending.
