Gu Qingfeng did not beat around the bush and asked directly, "Is my master still inside the Shang Qing Tower?"
"You are looking for Elder Zhen Jue?"
Yun Wan asked cautiously, as if she was suspicious of Gu Qingfeng's identity. She asked cautiously, "You said you are Emperor You. How can I believe that?"
Recently, the news of the You Emperor's death and return had spread to all the realms. Yun Wan had naturally heard of it as well. However, no one knew if this You Emperor was real or fake. Yun Wan was no exception. Even though she had seen the You Emperor back in the Shang Qing Sect, that was ten thousand years ago. Therefore, when faced with the sudden appearance of Gu Qingfeng, other than shock, her heart was filled with doubt.
Gu Qingfeng did not pay attention to her. He only glanced at Yun Wan and then mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
Yun Wan was shocked. She immediately looked around her residence but did not find any trace of Gu Qingfeng.
Where was he?
Just as she was confused, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with the Shang Qing Tower.
This is …
Yun Wan suppressed her shock and hurriedly entered the Shang Qing Tower. As expected, when she entered the Shang Qing Tower, she found Gu Qingfeng.
First, he sneaked into the Shang Qing Sect. Then, he mysteriously appeared in her residence. Now, he could even casually enter the Shang Qing Tower? One must know that the Shang Qing Tower was the most precious treasure of the Shang Qing Sect. It could cover the sky above and shock the immortals below. Even cultivators of the Great Path would not dare to act rashly before the Shang Qing Tower. How could he casually enter?
Could it be that he really was Emperor You?
Yun Wan did not know if she should believe him.
She realized that Gu Qingfeng was standing in the tower and did not speak for a long time. Yun Wan thought about it and said, "If you really are Emperor You, then I can tell you that Elder Zhen Jue is not cultivating in the tower."
After Gu Qingfeng entered the Shang Qing Tower, he also knew that his master was not in the tower. He asked lightly, "When did my master leave?"
"After Wudao Mountain descended that year, Elder Zhen Jue left."
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know."
Actually.
Before Gu Qingfeng had come to the Shang Qing Sect, he had already guessed that his Master was no longer in the Shang Qing Sect.
That's right.
He knew.
He could feel it too.
The reason why he came to the Shang Qing Sect was perhaps to try his luck, or perhaps he just wanted to see the place where his master lived in seclusion. That was all.
At this moment.
Gu Qingfeng stared at a wall in the pagoda. There were a few large words drawn on the wall.
Heaven and earth were black and yellow, and the universe was vast and desolate.
Karma, destiny, the Dao of nature.
Everything is illusory, like a dream world.
Abide by your nature and never forget your original intentions.
Gu Qingfeng stared at these two sentences for a long time before he gave up.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Yun Wan's voice sounded, "Wait."
Gu Qingfeng stopped and looked at her.
"You … are really Emperor You?"
"What is it?"
"I …"
Yun Wan was speechless and didn't know how to respond. Being stared at by Gu Qingfeng, she felt an inexplicable fear. "I just want to tell you, what happened today, I … won't tell anyone else."
Gu Qingfeng shook his head slightly and smiled helplessly. He didn't say anything and left.
Yun Wan chased after him unwillingly.
Not in the cave.
Not in the Shang Qing Sect.
Gu Qingfeng disappeared just like that.
He disappeared without a trace as if he had never appeared.
Yun Wan also didn't know why she chased after him. Standing in the sky above the Shang Qing Sect, Yun Wan murmured, "Is he really Emperor You?"
Perhaps.
Yun Wan really didn't know.
When Wudao Mountain descended that year, although she wasn't present, she had heard her Master Ye Tianlan talk about what happened at Wudao Mountain. She also knew that Gu Qingfeng had ignited the Original Sin Hellfire and turned into ashes.
Yun Wan had once asked her Master if Emperor You was really dead.
Ye Tianlan said that Emperor You might be dead, or he might not be dead.
Yun Wan asked why.
Ye Tianlan replied that Emperor You was the biggest variable. Karma couldn't be deduced and fate couldn't be determined. No one knew his past and no one knew his future. Everything was unknown.
It was also because Emperor You was the biggest variable.
When he was involved in this whirlpool, it was already destined that the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, all living beings, the Original Sin of Falsehood, karma, fate, the past, the future, and everything else would become complicated and confusing because of his existence.
…
The sun was setting in the west and it was close to dusk.
After Gu Qingfeng left the Shang Qing Sect, he had been strolling around nearby.
In his memory, there was a mountain near the Shang Qing Sect.
The mountain was called Longevity Mountain.
There was a Taoist temple on Longevity Mountain called Longevity Temple.
It was said that Longevity Temple was an ancient relic. Some said that it was a relic from the Ancient Era, some said that it was a relic from the Ancient Era, some said that it was a relic from the Ancient Era, and some said that it was a relic from the Desolate Era. No one knew exactly when Longevity Temple was built.
People only knew that an old Taoist lived in Longevity Temple, called Longevity Old Taoist.
Gu Qingfeng had been to Longevity Temple twice.
The first time was in the ancient times when he was young and cultivating in the Shang Qing Sect. He was bullied by the Shang Qing Sect disciples and escaped to Longevity Temple.
The second time was in the modern times when he returned to his hometown after being judged. He learned that the Eldest Teacher was living in seclusion in Longevity Temple, so he came.
Gu Qingfeng thought that since he came to the Shang Qing Sect, he should visit Longevity Old Taoist.
However.
When he came to Longevity Mountain and walked into Longevity Temple, he found that there was no one in the temple. The entire temple was covered in dust.
Longevity Mountain was still the desolate Longevity Mountain.
Longevity Temple was still the same old and shabby Longevity Temple.
However, Longevity Old Taoist who had been living in seclusion in Longevity Temple was long gone.
Longevity Temple wasn't big. Gu Qingfeng strolled around for a while and came to the backyard of Longevity Temple.
The backyard was barren. There was a withered old tree in it. There were broken branches and leaves under the old tree.
Gu Qingfeng waved his hand and the broken branches and leaves disappeared.
Two stone stools and a stone table under the old tree came into view.
There was a carved chess game on the stone table.
Gu Qingfeng walked over and looked at the chess game.
It was an incomplete chess game of Heaven and Earth.
Gu Qingfeng still remembered clearly that when he first came to Longevity Temple, he was enlightened when he woke up. According to the old Taoist, it was because he saw an incomplete chess game of Heaven and Earth that he entered a state of enlightenment.
The second time he came to Longevity Temple, he looked at the chess game of Heaven and Earth and was enlightened again.
This time, he went back to the old place and looked at the chess game of Heaven and Earth and was enlightened again.
The difference was.
The first time he was enlightened, he was enlightened about Dao and nature.
The second time he was enlightened about Dao and Buddhism.
This time, Gu Qingfeng didn't understand anything.
However.
He shook his head and smiled, "The Great Dao is empty, Heaven and Earth are empty, life and death are empty, cause and effect are empty. There is nothing to be understood, the four elements are empty."
