Chapter 683

Shi Xuan's voice was calm and slow, without any pressurizing aura, nor was it ethereal. However, Shangguan Piaoxue and the other innate gods couldn't help but quieten down. Only Lv Baohua, the god that looked like Candle Jiuyin, had his eyes lit up and he murmured in his mind, This power of time is so abstruse, could it be that the little bell is the incarnation of the Time Dao? Then who is this Tianxuan Daoist? "

Some of these souls were mortals, some were cultivators below the Gold Core realm, and some were demons. They all had different foundations in cultivation. Moreover, the Way of Nature Deity was quite different from the Dao of Taoism. Therefore, Shi Shuan did not directly talk about the abstruse content. Instead, he talked about the various methods of controlling one's own power and the principles behind these methods.

Shangguan Piaoxue and all the other gods were expecting Tianxuan Daoist's Dao to resonate with heaven and earth when they first heard about it. They thought there would be a grand and solemn scene of flowers falling from the sky, golden lotuses emerging from the ground, celestial chanting, and the arrival of Liuding and Liujia. It was so mysterious that people would be lost in it, but they could only understand a little.

However, what Tianxuan Daoist said was simple and easy to understand. For the gods who were reincarnated from cultivators, it was a cliché. Naturally, it wouldn't cause any sign of heaven and earth, so they were a little disappointed.

Li Gu thought, It's not much different from the Daoist books I read. Dao can't be like this, right?

Tianxuan Daoist doesn't seem to be anything special. Could he be the earliest innate god who woke up and is trying to scare us? Yue Xiang and Gao Heng, the god who looked like Dijiang, had doubts.

Lv Baohua sneered in his mind. From the little bell, he knew that Tianxuan Daoist was an extraordinary person who controlled Dao, "Haven't you heard that Dao can't be taught easily?"

Shangguan Piaoxue was disappointed, but she still listened with great interest. At least they were ways that she could understand. As she listened, she used her cultivation as a Three-tribulation Yang Spirit to activate the ways. She felt the effect was obvious. She could control her breath, and less and less of it was exposed.

Shangguan Piaoxue liked this wonderful feeling. She became more and more interested in Tianxuan Daoist's words and gradually became intoxicated.

The other innate gods who were doubtful, doubtful, and expectant all entered this state sooner or later. They all had the same thought, It's plain and easy to understand, but it contained the real and mysterious meaning of Dao.

Previously, in the Purple Cloud Palace, as these Innate Deities could not completely control their own power, there was a strange scene where the aura of slaughter and destruction were flying around, and the clear clouds and colorful lights were the same color. However, these were gradually restrained. In the great hall, other than Shi Shuan's calm voice, it became quiet and beautiful.

"The control of power is only the beginning and the surface. The most important thing is to temper the mind and see the true nature. Every word and action can be done according to one's will." Shi Xuan changed the topic and talked about the way of tempering the mind.

However, most of the tempering of Taoism was combined with one's own cultivation method and realm. These innate gods were Three-tribulation Yang Spirit, so they couldn't start from scratch. So, Shi Xuan borrowed the method of Taoism's Abstinence Sect, such as Yingzhou Sect's Notes on the Nine Precepts. He hoped to temper their mind step by step through the method of precepts so that they wouldn't be affected by the origin of the law. Among them, Shi Xuan also included some of the cultivation methods of the deities.

Shangguan Piaoxue and the others, who were immersed in listening, were delighted when they heard Shi Xuan saying that the control of power was only the beginning and the surface. It seems that he's going to talk about profound content!

But gradually, they all frowned. What was he talking about? To practice inaction, to practice weakness, to practice namelessness, to practice tranquility, and not to act first?! In addition to these empty words, there were specific contents of abiding by precepts. For example, not to indulge in desires, to chant sutras often, not to be too happy or angry …

There were dozens of them that made them feel dull and their heads swollen. However, the techniques that were mixed in made their eyes light up. They hated the fact that Teacher Tianxuan didn't talk more about these. He kept going back and forth on the boring tempering of one's temperament that made them feel that life was boring.

However, there were still many innate gods who felt that the other contents that Tianxuan Taoist talked about were profound and extraordinary. Perhaps there was a deeper meaning in the boring precepts, so they decided to try to abide by the precepts. Among them, Time God Lv Baoguang was the most enthusiastic.

In this torment, many days passed. Suddenly, Tianxuan Taoist smiled and said, "Time is not counted in the chaos, but time flies in the Purple Cloud Palace I. After this lecture, the Purple Cloud Palace will open again after a hundred years."

Shangguan Piaoxue and the others stood up and said, "Goodbye, Teacher Tianxuan."

When they left the Purple Cloud Palace and saw the dark yellow door slowly close, and their Primordial Spirit could no longer penetrate it, they suddenly came to a realization. Time was blurry in the Primal Chaos, and it was difficult to count the years. Earlier, when they were nurturing, they felt that a hundred years had passed, but it was just their own feeling and it was not accurate.

"Looks like we have to count years by opening the door. Every time it opens, a hundred years have passed. After nine times, the calamity will come." Li Gu sighed and many gods nodded.

Shangguan Piaoxue laughed and said, "With Teacher Tianxuan's lecture, our cultivation will definitely improve. When the time comes, we will be able to work together and get through this."

"But those precepts …" Yue Xiang frowned.

In the chaos, there were only 49 of them, so naturally, they started chatting. Their wariness gradually disappeared because everyone talked and acted in the same way. One or two had the same experience, so there was still a need to be cautious. But with so many gods on the same side, there was no need to worry about giving themselves away.

…

In the chaos, the yellow door of the Purple Cloud Palace opened slowly and silently, but the 49 innate gods sensed it at the same time.

"After a hundred years, the Purple Cloud Palace will open again."

With this thought, Shangguan Piaoxue, Li Gu, and Yue Xiang, who were on good terms with her, went to the Purple Cloud Palace. Shangguan Piaoxue, who had a good impression of Li Gu, was indecisive and hesitant because of Yue Xiang's flattery.

After entering the Purple Cloud Palace, Tianxuan Daoist was already sitting cross-legged on the apricot yellow cattail hassock.

Many gods had already arrived. Seeing that Shangguan Piaoxue and the others came late but could sit on the nine cattail hassock in the first row, some were very dissatisfied. They came early, but because of Tianxuan Daoist, they could only sit in the same position as last time.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Shi Xuan knocked the Universal Bell and caused a ripple of time, he said slowly, "In the past hundred years, all of you should have your own questions and understandings. Before the lecture, you can ask them one by one."

When the questions were answered one by one, a tall woman in a light white shirt stood up and bowed respectfully, "Teacher Tianxuan, I have a question." This was the transformation of the Golden Dipper, which represented the origin of the law of doom.

"Speak slowly." Shi Xuan nodded.

Hu Ruojin glanced at Shangguan Piaoxue and the others, pursed her lips, and said, "Ruojin has often heard that the Great Dao is fair. Why didn't Teacher Tianxuan show up after everyone has arrived and give them the cattail hassock? Especially when everyone knows nothing for the first time. "

"The Great Dao is fair. It doesn't exist for others, and it doesn't die for you," Shi Xuan said indifferently.

Shangguan Piaoxue suddenly stood up and bowed to Shi Xuan. Then, she turned around and sneered at Hu Ruojin, "If the latecomers see Teacher Tianxuan at the same time as us and have the same chance to fight for the cattail hassock, how can the Great Dao be fair? You can only blame yourselves for missing the opportunity and coming a step too late! Under the Great Dao, it is the most fair! "

Hu Ruojin was speechless by Shangguan Piaoxue's words and could only sit down angrily.

Shi Xuan looked around the hall and nodded lightly. "Since there are no other questions, let's start the lecture."

The lecture this time was still about the temperament cultivation method that gave people headaches and impatiently mixed with all kinds of methods that intoxicated the deities.

…

The cycle repeated until the fifth lecture in the Purple Cloud Palace. Shangguan Piaoxue finally couldn't stand the temperament cultivation method that couldn't improve her cultivation. She felt that she had found Teacher Tianxuan, the loophole of the Heavenly Dao. So, when she started to answer questions, she stood up without hesitation and said, "Teacher Tianxuan, Piaoxue has a question."

"Speak."

Shangguan Piaoxue said solemnly, "Teacher Tianxuan, you often say that cultivation is not to turn oneself into a cold and senseless stone. But why doesn't your temperament cultivation method allow one to do this or that? If one continues to cultivate according to your method, I'm afraid that all kinds of beautiful feelings will be eliminated, and it will be difficult to escape from being a cold stone."

This question was what many innate deities were thinking. They had been dissatisfied with the temperament cultivation method for a long time.

"This is the bumpy road before seeing one's nature. When one can cut through the whims and see the truth of one's nature, one will naturally act according to one's nature, feeling but not tired, doing whatever one wants without going beyond the rules. In this way, one can see the Great Dao," Shi Xuan answered calmly.

Shangguan Piaoxue smiled slightly, "But Teacher Tianxuan, you often say that we innate deities are born strong, without whims, and every move is in line with our nature. Why do we still have to take this bumpy road?" Only in this way could we have the cultivation of the Three-tribulation Yang God.

"This nature is the nature of the origin of the law, and it is slightly different from your nature," Shi Xuan said lightly.

Shangguan Piaoxue didn't care, "In these hundreds of years, I didn't feel any difference. And as you said, what does it matter if there are some slight differences? I am still me, a deity born from the origin of the law of Tai Chi. This can never be erased. The nature of the law of Tai Chi is our nature. "

Most of the deities nodded in agreement, and Shangguan Piaoxue continued, "And now that every move of ours is in line with our nature, why do we ask for trouble? Cultivate ourselves to be cold and heartless, and then act in line with our nature? Isn't this asking for trouble and wasting our time? "

"Being born to act according to one's nature, and being tempered and thinking before acting according to one's nature are worlds apart." Shi Xuan looked at everyone and said lightly, "This is the three realms of seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain, seeing a mountain as a mountain."

Shangguan Piaoxue smiled sweetly, "But it is still a mountain, never changing."

As soon as she said this, many deities chuckled. Only a small number of deities who had been carrying the precepts for hundreds of years, such as Li Gu and Lv Baoguang, were deep in thought.

"From the beginning of this sermon, the method of temperament cultivation and answering the questions will be put at the end. At the same time, remember, I will listen to the sermon in this Purple Cloud Palace, and you are free to come and go. "Shi Xuan didn't answer anymore. Instead, he gave an order and started the sermon.

During this sermon, Shangguan Piaoxue and the others were afraid that Tianxuan would talk about some profound content at the end, so they didn't want to leave. They patiently listened to the drowsy temperament cultivation method for a long time, but at the end of the sermon, Tianxuan only talked about temperament cultivation, just as he said.

After that, during the sixth sermon in the Purple Cloud Palace, before he started to teach temperament cultivation method, a few deities couldn't hold back and left, seizing the time to practice the method at the beginning.

This time, there were still many deities who were worried that Tianxuan would teach privately in the end, so they stayed. Unfortunately, they didn't get anything, but it could be considered a verification.

Therefore, after the seventh and eighth sermons in the Purple Cloud Palace, by the ninth time, everyone was sure that the Tianxuan Master was the incarnation of the Great Way. He was impartial and had no family, so he would not teach others in private. When the lesson on the cultivation of temperament began, the thirty-six deities left together. Shangguan Piaoxue wanted to pull Li Gu along, but he refused. In a moment of anger, she pulled Yue Xiang and left.

The 13 deities who stayed were all holding the precepts to temper their temperament. Seeing that the other deities had left, they were actually a little expectant, wondering if there would be a profound Dao method passed down in the end.

But when it came to answering the questions at the end, Shi Xuan still only talked about temperament cultivation method, which made them quite disappointed.

"Tianxuan Teacher, in these years, we have been firmly abiding by the precepts and cultivating, and we feel that our temperament has improved a lot. We can't be mentioned in the same breath as before. Even in terms of mastery of celestial techniques, we are a little better than them."

Time Deity Lv Baoguang took the opportunity to answer the questions and stood up.

In the chaos, there were only 49 of them, so they often sparred with each other. However, because of their different strengths and weaknesses, these dozen deities who were not proficient in temperament cultivation did not realize that there was already a slight difference in the level of celestial techniques.

Lv Baoguang continued, "So we deeply feel that this temperament cultivation method contains the true Great Dao, but Shangguan Piaoxue and the others turn a blind eye to the Great Dao, and even laugh at it wantonly. Teacher, why do you tolerate them again and again and not expel them from the Purple Cloud Palace? "The other 12 innate deities were almost all in agreement.

"When a superior scholar hears the Dao, he bows and walks; when a mediocre scholar hears the Dao, he either lives or dies; when a lowly scholar hears the Dao, he laughs. If he doesn't laugh, he won't be able to reach the Dao, "Shi Xuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Lv Baoguang and the others' indignation stopped abruptly, and they became thoughtful.

Hu Ruojin, on the other hand, was restless, as if she wanted to ask something. At first, she did this to go against Shangguan Piaoxue, but after some gains, she started to do it from the bottom of her heart.

When Shi Xuan finished answering the questions, Hu Ruojin, who had been wanting to stand up, finally mustered her courage and bowed respectfully, "Teacher Tianxuan, there is one thing I don't understand."

This was the ninth Purple Cloud Palace lecture, and the next one would be the last one. This matter was of great importance, and the others would not be absent or leave, so she had to ask while there were fewer people.

"Speak."

Hu Ruojin looked at Li Gu, Lv Baoguang, and the others sitting on the futons, gritted her teeth, and said firmly, "Teacher Tianxuan, what is the significance of these nine futons? Can only those who snatch the futons step into a higher realm, and even become the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao?"

Li Gu, Lv Baoguang, and the Bodhi Tree were all stunned, and at the same time, endless expectations rose in their hearts. The other deities looked at them with envy, especially towards Shangguan Piaoxue and the others who did not listen to the Great Dao, but because they snatched the futons, they surpassed them.

"It's meaningless," Shi Xuan said expressionlessly.

"Ah?!" Everyone blurted out in unison, their hopes dashed, and their hearts rejoiced.

Lv Baoguang could not accept it. He felt that he was the one who understood Teacher Tianxuan's realm the best, so how could the futons be meaningless?!

So he stood up and said, "Teacher Tianxuan, if it's meaningless, why is it nine, and not seven, and not forty-nine?"

"I prefer the number of nine," Shi Xuan smiled softly.

The deities present were embarrassed, and their expressions were blank. They did not expect it to be such a powerful reason, "This?!"

Shi Xuan said leisurely, "If snatching the futons can help one step into a higher realm, then what is the purpose of everyone's painstaking cultivation, overcoming hardships and obstacles, and controlling the path and oneself?"

Lv Baoguang answered subconsciously, "To better snatch the futons …"

Laughter burst out, and Lv Baoguang's old face turned slightly red.

"All of you, remember, obtaining something because you have cultivated to a certain realm, and obtaining something so that you have reached a certain realm is very different." Shi Xuan struck the Universal Bell, and a clear bell sound rang out. "This lecture is over."

"Farewell, Teacher Tianxuan." The 13 deities bowed even more respectfully than before.

…

In the chaos, a melodious and pleasant bell sound rang out.

This time, the Purple Cloud Palace opened again. Not only did the yellow door slowly open, but it was also accompanied by the bell sound that seemed to be ringing in every deity's mind. It was unusually solemn, and it made Shangguan Piaoxue and the others' hearts tremble and heavy. The tenth lecture in the Purple Cloud Palace had begun, and the great calamity was coming!

In the Purple Cloud Palace, everything was the same as before, and Tianxuan Daoist was no different from before. After answering the questions, he began to lecture.

This time, the true meaning of the Great Dao contained in the Dao technique resonated with the laws of heaven and earth. There seemed to be golden lotuses blooming in the hall, and there were countless colorful heavenly flowers falling down. The heavy and worried deities were relieved, and they were intoxicated. It was as if they could touch the Great Dao if they stretched out their hands.

"The Purple Cloud Palace lecture is over." After a long time, surprisingly, Tianxuan Daoist did not talk about temperament cultivation this time. Instead, he directly announced the end of the Purple Cloud Palace lecture.

The deities woke up from their intoxication with a sense of loss. "Teacher Tianxuan?"

"The world is about to open. All of you, be prepared." Shi Xuan said lightly. At the same time, the walls around the Purple Cloud Palace disappeared, and they could directly see the dark chaos that seemed to be tumbling outside.

Shi Xuan closed his eyes and ignored the others. He calmed down and comprehended the changes of the Great Dao and the laws of heaven and earth when the chaos was about to split.

Gao Heng and the others turned to look at Yue Xiang when they saw the commotion.

Shangguan Piaoxue snorted and stood in front of Yue Xiang. The other deities who were on good terms with them also stood out, including Li Gu and Lv Baoguang.

Without Shangguan Piaoxue, the other deities did not dare to say that they could suppress Yue Xiang. They could kill him.

However, Tianxuan Daoist only said that they could suppress Yue Xiang. Who knew what would happen after killing him? In the Purple Cloud Palace, without Tianxuan Daoist's decree, they did not dare to make a move.

Therefore, this undercurrent soon dissipated. Gao Heng said solemnly, "Everyone needs to work together."

"I don't need you to tell me that." Shangguan Piaoxue's lips curled up.

The chaos continued to tumble. After a long time, Li Gu's expression suddenly changed. His expression was twisted and hideous, as if he was struggling to fight against something. His inner nature urged him to transform into a giant again and again. He held his divine ax, burned his life, and hacked down fiercely to split the chaos.

"This is what I should do. This is a matter of course!"

"This is my nature. How can I go against it?!"

Countless thoughts appeared in his mind, but there was a trace of clarity in the core of his deity.

"Do not do anything, do not name, do peace, do not move first …"

"Control yourself and see through your nature!"

With a boom, part of the Innate Great Path of Power and many Laws of Force of Heaven and Earth could not wait for the deity born from Li Gu's origin to merge. They had no choice but to transform into an ancient and horrifying ax. It hacked fiercely on the chaos with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, making a shocking sound that only rang in one's mind.

A crack appeared on the chaos, but the chaos tumbled and shrank, about to close.

However, at this time, in the Purple Cloud Palace, the deity born from the Laws of Yin and Yang could not control his nature. He turned into a Black and White Light, combining with part of the Innate Great Path of Yin and Yang and many Laws of Yin and Yang that descended leisurely.

A black and white light appeared at the crack. Then, Yin and Yang were divided. The Taoist characters contained in the chaos began to split and evolve into the Heaven-Opening Yang characters and the Genesis Yin-Yang characters.

The crack became bigger and bigger, and the chaos expanded with it. In the end, it was nearly ten million miles in radius.

Shi Xuan was deeply immersed in sensing the division of the Taoist characters. Only a green sword light flew out and wrapped the first wisp of Yin and Yang back into his Primordial Spirit. It was Qing Suo following Shi Xuan's earlier order to avoid delaying the timing.

Outside the chaos, Guo Qianxiu and the Hanjing Lord Of Heaven stood side by side, also quietly sensing the creation of the Boundless World.

The green sword light was extremely fast. Shangguan Piaoxue and the others were shocked by the magnificent scene of the creation of the world and did not notice Qing Suo at all. At this time, the clear Qi rose and the turbid Qi sank, covering the entire area of ten million miles.

The first wisp of clear Qi and the first wisp of turbid Qi were also mysterious things. If they were taken, the Origin of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water would not meet the requirements. Therefore, the three Lord Of Heaven did not take action and continued to sense the creation of the Boundless World.

In the clear Qi and the turbid Qi, the Heaven-Opening Yang characters and the Genesis Yin-Yang characters formed countless laws of heaven and earth. The Origin of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water — red, green, yellow, and black — was born and suddenly exploded, just as Qing Suo, the Hanjing Lord Of Heaven, and Guo Qianxiu collected their Origin.

The four colors were rolling, and red, green, yellow, and black lights exploded everywhere, with the intention of destroying the world and returning to the chaos. The destructive aura was extremely strong.

He wanted to control it, but he could not. He could only turn into a black light and throw it into the explosion of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. This made the destructive power, which had lost its Origin and was greatly weakened, climb to the peak and become even more horrifying. Shangguan Piaoxue, who was beside him, was shocked.

But soon, Shangguan Piaoxue was not only shocked, but also panicked. She was uncontrollably turning into an all-encompassing golden bridge, crossing over Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.

"Why can't I control myself?!"

The explosion of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water calmed down a lot, but the golden bridge disappeared.

The red, green, yellow, and black lights continued to explode toward the Purple Cloud Palace. Li Gu, Lv Baoguang, and the others found it difficult to think under the power of returning to the chaos. They could only use their Celestial Skills to resist, not to mention joining hands. They were all very terrified. Fortunately, many of the deities' temperaments were not bad. They suppressed their fear and used their Celestial Skills to stop the explosion of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water.

But it was only for a moment.

Just when they were exhausted and desperate, an even more majestic and magnificent golden bridge crossed over and landed on Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water. Shi Xuan woke up from his comprehension of the Universe Creation.

The power of the explosion subsided, and the tumbling and boiling of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water all calmed down. Soon, it quieted down, and bits of soil, fire, wind, and water were born.

Grand and beautiful celestial music sounded. Lv Baoguang, Hu Ruojin, and the others saw spots of yellow light falling from the sky, surrounding Master Tianxuan on the golden bridge, sacred and solemn.
