"Sister Zhong, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly cover me? I didn't want to win just now. "
In the Chaos Bell, Ling 'e asked carefully.
The Chaos Bell trembled twice and sent a panicked spiritual perception.
"Shh! Don't say anything! Xiao Qiong Mount is in big trouble!
The Dao Ancestor is here … Who said that the Dao Ancestor cannot leave the Purple Cloud Palace!?!
It's over, it's over. If your senior brother can't handle it this time, I can only bring you away.
The Dao Ancestor is the most ruthless person in the Primordial World and the biggest winner of the ancient times. Apart from the Saint of Taiqing, the other four Saints have to respectfully call him Teacher! "
Ling 'e's face was filled with fake shock. She said softly,
She whispered, "Sister Zhong, don't panic. I don't think things are that simple.
If the Dao Ancestor is omnipotent, he should know Senior Brother like the back of his hand.
Given Senior Brother's personality, he must be confident if he doesn't leave at this point. "
"What confidence? What confidence can he have when facing the Dao Ancestor? "
Sister Zhong's spiritual perception continued to tremble.
"Do you understand the concept of such an opponent?
I can plot against you, and I can slap you to death with martial arts!
Usually, I can use all sorts of schemes to deal with the entire Three Realms. That's because it's not challenging to attack directly!
If your senior brother had always ignored the Dao Ancestor's strength, he would have been in trouble today. "
Ling 'e blinked and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation now?"
"Now …"
The Chaos Bell maintained its power and looked outside. It fell into deep thought.
He could not understand.
"It's calm for the time being, but under this calm, there are surging waves!"
"Don't read the voiceover!"
"Uh, that's about it. It looks calm, but it's actually extremely dangerous!"
Zhong Ling pondered for a while. "Why don't I escape with you first?"
"No." Ling 'e clenched her hands nervously. "I'll help my senior brother at the crucial moment. Sister Zhong, you're an existence that's as famous as the Taiji Painting. You'll definitely be able to help."
"Although what you said makes sense …
Heh heh, leave it to Big Sister! "
Zhong Ling smiled smugly. The power of the Chaos Bell slowly increased, and she was ready to bring Ling'e to take Li Changshou away at any time.
Whoosh –
In the tea room in the forest, the burly Daoist smiled at Li Changshou.
Li Changshou leaned forward with a humble smile on his face.
If the Chaos Bell didn't know that one of them was Heaven and the other was the Anti-Heaven camp, it would have thought that this was a meeting between a grandfather and grandson who had a good relationship!
Li Changshou flicked his sleeves and swept away the fallen leaves on the seat in front of him. He smiled and said, "Grandmaster, since you like it here, why don't you stay for a few more days? I can ask you some questions about cultivation."
"Hahaha!"
Hong Jun stroked his beard and chuckled. He naturally sat on the tree stump and said,
"Do you still have any doubts? You've almost stolen the Heavenly Dao clean.
Your Mimicry Yuan Spirit Technique isn't inferior to your senior's Second Yuan Spirit Technique at all. It's really amazing.
Before you took the initiative to reveal the wisp of Primordial Violet Qi to Zhao Gongming, I sensed that the Primordial Violet Qi had always been in Zhao Gongming's essence soul.
I never thought that I would be schemed against by you. "
Li Changshou said, "My Dao is far inferior to Grandmaster's Dao."
"A hundred and eight thousand miles, this phrase sounds very familiar."
Hong Jun sighed softly. "I thought that I could see the shadow of that good friend in you, but I realized that you're completely different from him."
Li Changshou said, "All living beings have their own unique characteristics. That's also the charm of living beings.
Grandmaster has been away from the Purple Cloud Palace for too long. Are you alright? "
"I'm fine." Dao Ancestor Hong Jun smiled and said, "I can't leave the Purple Cloud Palace. In fact, I said it casually in the ancient times to make it easier to carry out some schemes.
After all, if you want to use the selfish desires and evil thoughts of living beings, you can't give them too much pressure and deterrence.
Standing outside the Three Realms and looking up at the side of the world, you only need to push at the crucial moment to achieve the effect of moving a thousand kilograms with little effort.
I enjoy it. It's just a little fun for I. "
Li Changshou smiled and shook his head. "Grandmaster's preferences are really a little …
I beg to differ. "
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said warmly, "Let's not talk about the battle of ideals. Changshou, do you know why I came today?"
"I naturally don't know."
"I still want to persuade you," Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said slowly. "I know your trump card very well. You know I's goal very well. It's nothing more than the relationship between living beings and the world.
In your hometown, it's how humans and nature get along harmoniously. If humans destroy nature, they will incur the revenge of nature. That's all.
If we fight head-on, it will not be beneficial to the world and living beings.
Changgeng, leave. Bring Yun Xiao, Ling 'e, and anyone else you want to bring.
Later, I will arrange for Yun Xiao to transcend the tribulation and let her explain to Jie School. That way, she can return with you in peace. Isn't that beautiful? "
Li Changshou's eyes were filled with gratitude. Just as he was about to speak, the Dao Ancestor raised his hand to stop him.
The Dao Ancestor smiled and said, "Don't act. Be more sincere."
Li Changshou instantly regained his cold expression. There was a polite smile on his lips.
"Grandmaster, I'm afraid that's a little inappropriate. I haven't even played my cards. Why did Grandmaster eliminate me?"
"You mean you want to fight with I?"
The smile in Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's eyes was rather warm, as if he was talking about something ordinary.
However, when he said that, Li Changshou did not feel any mockery or disdain. He even felt that he … had obtained the Dao Ancestor's full respect.
Changshou was secretly alarmed.
"Grandmaster, you must be joking. How would I dare to fight you?"
"Changgeng, I am indeed afraid of you. Just the secret of the Heavenly Dao that you have can make I extremely passive.
Yet, you became the one who escaped.
I also miscalculated. I originally thought that you were timid and afraid of death. I didn't expect … Hahaha!
Wonderful, wonderful.
To be able to make I misjudge you, you are the first living being since ancient times. "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
"Grandmaster, I'm really afraid of death."
Li Changshou pondered for a while and continued, "However, the education I received since I was young does not allow me to watch others die.
Cultivation pursues transcendence. The Primordial World only allows one living being to completely transcend and enter the realm of the Primordial Chaos Limitless Saint.
This disciple naturally covets this position. "
"Hahahaha! The matter of transcendence is just a lie! "
Daoist Hong Jun stroked his beard and laughed. "I have always felt that you do not desire Transcendence that much.
In fact, your original goal should only be to cultivate to the Zenith Heaven realm. Then, you should go to the Chaos Sea and find a place to squat. You will not be paid attention to and not be noticed. You will live a meaningless life. "
"Grandmaster knows me best.
I did think that for a period of time. "
Li Changshou said seriously, "What about you, Grandmaster?
Grandmaster is now bound to the Heavenly Dao and has fused with the essence of the world. Grandmaster has already become the incarnation of this world. The Heavenly Dao has to obey Grandmaster's will.
Is Grandmaster still searching for Transcendence? "
"The so-called Transcendence is just a beautiful dream left behind by the Pangu God for us followers."
Hong Jun's face was filled with endless emotions.
"Everyone says that I is the winner. Actually, the real winner will only be your teacher.
Your teacher was formed by the essence soul of the Pangu God. He controls the Great Dao of Yin and Yang and is the leader of the Three Pure Ones. If not for my suppression back then, your teacher would have already walked towards the Limitless Realm of Taiqing.
Now, your teacher has a disciple like you who has jumped out of I's control.
Countless years. Ever since the creation of the world, I had schemed and guarded for countless years. At the critical moment, it was actually going to be destroyed by a few words from a brat like you.
How can I accept this? "
Li Changshou smiled and said, "Grandmaster, you think too highly of me.
This disciple is merely standing on the shoulders of a philosophical giant. "
Hong Jun was silent. He stared at Li Changshou quietly and suddenly took out a jade token from his sleeve.
"The Great Tribulation Death Exemption Token. The highest authority of the Heavenly Dao can protect Yun Xiao from death."
Hong Jun said, "Let's use this as a bet. Let's fight out of thin air today. If you win, this item will belong to you. I can't go against this promise."
Li Changshou pondered for a while and asked, "What do you mean by fighting out of thin air?"
"Just take out one of your trump cards and say it. There's no need to do it."
Hong Jun smiled and said, "If you can make I feel extremely uncomfortable and fall into an absolute passive state, I will admit defeat and play another game with you."
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
"I believe that after Senior Lang died, no one has played cards with you for a long time, Grandmaster."
Hong Jun was rendered speechless.
"It's fine if we don't fight."
"Ah, Grandmaster." Li Changshou raised his hand and put the jade token in his hand. He sensed the Heavenly Dao rules contained in it and smiled as he put it into his treasure pouch.
Hong Jun smiled and said, "You're so confident?"
"Since you want to test my trump card, if I retreat, it will not be a matter of a jade token."
Li Changshou said seriously, "I want to let Grandmaster know that I'm not bluffing."
"Speak."
Li Changshou pondered carefully for a while and said, "The first trump card I can use to deal with the Heavenly Dao is the Nine Polluted Springs."
Hong Jun was silent. He listened to Li Changshou slowly and word by word.
"I can't be sure if the Nine Polluted Springs has been around since ancient times or if they suddenly appeared in ancient times. However, all mighty figures and mystical abilities know about the Nine Polluted Springs. Sometimes, they can even sense the power of the Nine Polluted Springs.
Legend has it that the Nine Polluted Springs bear the filth of the selfish desires of living beings.
The greater the selfish desires of living beings, the harder it is to suppress the Nine Polluted Springs. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao sent a great tribulation to restrain the power of living beings. Otherwise, the Nine Polluted Springs would overturn the entire world.
That is something that everyone in the Primordial World knows.
However, this is actually fake news that you deliberately released to confuse the public. "
Li Changshou casually summoned a wisp of water vapor. His fingers were stained with water vapor and he drew a line on the stone slab in front of him. Then, he drew nine small circles below and a larger circle on it.
"There are many loopholes in the theory of the Nine Polluted Springs. However, most Qi Refinement cultivators will feel that their realm is not high enough and they cannot comprehend it.
There is a fatal loophole in this. Ever since the ancient battle that shattered the Primordial World, the power of living beings has been declining. If the Nine Polluted Springs exist to absorb the power of the selfish desires of living beings, why are there more and more of them? "
The Dao Ancestor said in a low voice, "That's because the resentment of the Nine Polluted Springs has not dissipated. It has been accumulating."
"If that's the case, the path you chose, Grandmaster, is to stand on the side of the world.
Grandmaster, you will definitely let the Nine Polluted Springs overturn and release it once before the power of the Nine Polluted Springs can destroy the world.
Previously, you had personally admitted that living beings are just projections of True Spirits in your eyes. One batch can disappear, and one batch can be reborn.
Time is meaningless to you. What you see is just the waves on the river of time. "
Li Changshou mercilessly exposed the Dao Ancestor's words. "Grandmaster, we should be honest today. Listen to me."
"Alright." The Dao Ancestor closed his eyes and focused. His expression was calm as he listened to Li Changshou continue.
Li Changshou said, "Alright.
"Therefore, I began to compare and contrast. I used the small amount of information that I could confirm to try to restore the truth.
Soon, I realized that there was indeed a saying that the selfish desires and evil thoughts of living beings gathered to form a polluted spring. However, everyone in the Primordial World knew about that place.
The sea of blood.
The sea of blood had once flourished in ancient times because the power of living beings corresponded to the filthy power. It gathered in the deepest part of the earth. The power of living beings reached its peak at the end of the ancient times and exceeded the limit that the world could withstand.
During the battle with Patriarch Nether River, the sea of blood was evaporated by the Heavenly Punishment. However, the sea of blood could not continue to expand and could only barely maintain its original state. The reason was that the power of living beings was far inferior to that of the ancient times. It could not produce such a huge sea of blood.
The dirty spring formed by the selfish desires and evil thoughts of living beings was the sea of blood.
The question was whether the sea of blood was the Nine Polluted Springs.
Obviously, the sea of blood could only be considered one of the Nine Polluted Springs or a small part of them.
How can the sea of blood destroy the Primordial World alone? That's a part of the Primordial World. "
Li Changshou paused and looked in the direction of the chess room. Then, he pointed at the simple pattern he had drawn on the stone table.
"Another clue to the Nine Polluted Springs is the Sea Eye of the Four Seas.
The Dragons clearly knew something, but the Dragons did not say anything. They did not dare to say anything. That portion of the manuals was also burned.
What is suppressed under the Sea Eye?
Why are there only four Sea Eyes in the Nine Polluted Springs?
These questions had been troubling me previously. When my Dao Realm entered the Zenith Heaven and my understanding of the world improved, I was suddenly enlightened.
The Sea Eye was a cover.
If the Nine Polluted Springs could destroy the Primordial World, even if it was only half of the five continents, the power contained was far from what the Dragons could suppress.
There was a difference in magnitude.
The Sea Eye of the Four Seas was just set up by you, Dao Ancestor. It was used to remind living beings that the Nine Polluted Springs were hanging above their heads. It was used to explain the necessity of the Heavenly Dao sending the Great Tribulation.
At the same time, the Four Seas Eye can also help you deal with the followers of the ancient times, the Azure Dragon Clan.
What really made me understand what the Nine Polluted Springs was when the East Ocean Eye was broken and the Jade Emperor's Golden Body of Merit jumped.
At that time, Dao Ancestor, your arrangements were very ingenious. The Jade Emperor, I, Ksitigarbha, and the Western Sect all became your pawns.
At that time, my strength was weak and you would not care.
You guided the Jade Emperor's incarnation and arrived at the right position at the right time. You jumped and filled the Sea Eye with the Golden Body of Merit. That way, the Jade Emperor obtained the loyalty of the Dragons.
However, I did not know that the disciple who witnessed that scene that day would use that as a clue to reveal the true appearance of the Nine Polluted Springs. "
Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table, but the Dao Ancestor had no intention of opening his eyes.
Li Changshou's voice gradually became clear and louder.
"There are four questions here. They can be considered the equations that I was thinking about at that time.
Firstly, why did the Dao Ancestor insist on stopping me from condensing the Golden Body of Merit?
Secondly, why could the Golden Body of Merit fill the Sea Suppressing Eye?
After being suppressed, the East Ocean Eye became a part of the water cycle of the Primordial World. It used water-element spiritual energy to fill the four seas. The seawater evaporated and restored the original appearance of the Sea Eye. That proved that the Sea Eye had been polluted by some power previously.
How could the gap of the Nine Polluted Springs be blocked so easily!?!
Thirdly, why could the Heavenly Dao help the two Saints of the Western Sect become Saints? Why did the Heavenly Dao merit have so many magical uses and allow treasures to advance?
Fourthly, what was the difference between the merit of incense offerings and the merit of the Heavenly Dao?
I thought about those questions and quickly came to an absurd conclusion.
The Heavenly Dao merit was essentially pure merit from incense offerings.
The merit of incense offerings was the power of the prayers of living beings. In other words, it was the weak light produced when the faith of the True Spirit burned!
That touched the essence of the Heavenly Dao Saint and the control of the Heavenly Dao over the Saint.
Disciple, tell me the conclusion. "
Li Changshou casually pointed at the Pill Chamber and made it so that the array formation could not hear the conversation.
Then, he stared at the Dao Ancestor, who had opened his eyes slightly.
"In order to maintain his transcendent status and prevent the appearance of the Boundless Primordial Chaos Saint, the Dao Ancestor not only pushed the script of the world, but also set up a system.
A system of merit and negative karma was the reward and punishment of the Heavenly Dao.
According to the bottom Great Dao of the Heavenly Dao, Yin and Yang were born and destroyed. Yin and Yang were generally stable.
If merit and negative karma could offset each other, the total amount of merit and negative karma in the world should be equal.
In reality?
Without looking at the six Saints, the merit in the world, even if one did not count the merit from incense offerings, was far greater than the negative karma!
Why was the merit from incense offerings mottled?
That was because it was not only mixed with the prayers of living beings, but also the resentment of living beings.
Why was the Heavenly Dao merit pure?
It was because the merit was directly produced by the Heavenly Dao. The price was to produce a portion of Heavenly Dao merit. It had to produce a corresponding Heavenly Dao negative karma!
The Heavenly Dao used the merit of the Heavenly Dao to create the six Saints and the Celestial Court to promote its dignity.
In fact, every time a Heavenly Dao Saint was created, there would be a huge amount of Heavenly Dao negative karma! However, the Heavenly Dao merit and the Primordial Violet Qi could lock up a Heavenly Dao Saint like his teacher!
The main body of the Nine Polluted Springs was not the selfish desires of living beings, but the selfish desires of the Heavenly Dao!
The Heavenly Dao burned the endless True Spirits that were attracted by the Primordial World and decomposed the power of the True Spirits into Heavenly Dao merit and Heavenly Dao negative karma.
Of course, the Nine Polluted Springs would continue to expand because the Dao Ancestor was constantly sending out Heavenly Dao merit.
When the Nine Polluted Springs had to be suppressed, the Dao Ancestor would activate the Great Tribulation and release the Heavenly Dao negative karma. He would turn the Heavenly Dao negative karma into a calamity. Then, he would resolve the negative karma through the death of living beings.
Therefore, the death of the Sixth Saint released a large amount of Heavenly Dao merit. This Heavenly Dao merit could fill the corresponding Heavenly Dao negative karma.
That was why the power of the Great Tribulation dissipated!
Dao Ancestor, you did not give me the Golden Body of Merit because you were afraid that I would jump into the remaining Three Sea Eyes and expose the secret of the Nine Polluted Springs.
Of course, those are all speculations. I need evidence.
Therefore, I went to explore how to create Heavenly Dao merit. "
Li Changshou paused. The Dao Ancestor's eyes were half-open.
Li Changshou waved his left hand gently, and a ball of flames appeared in his palm. He drew a seal out of thin air. Firefly-like streams of light flew over in the air and were devoured by the demonic flame in his palm.
After a while, they turned into a wisp of golden light, a wisp of black Qi, and a faint gray Qi.
The golden light was the Heavenly Dao merit.
"My trump card is the Nine Polluted Springs."
Li Changshou took a deep breath. "I can now accumulate the negative karma of the Heavenly Dao and trigger the power of the Nine Polluted Springs to descend into the world. The power of the Nine Polluted Springs will not destroy any innocent living beings, but it will destroy the current Celestial Court system.
At that time, those who have Heavenly Dao merit will suffer the Five Decays of Heaven and Man and the hatred of the True Spirit.
Grandmaster, what do you think of this trump card? "
