At this time, the sky suddenly dimmed a bit.
There was a hint of crying in the little girl's words. She bit her lip and pointed to the sky:
"The stars and the moon are gone!"
Chen Xiu suddenly raised his head and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Previously, the bright moon, which filled the sky with silver light, had become dim and dull, as if it had been swallowed by a tengu.
The stars that were shining brightly all over the sky seemed to be obscured by thick dark clouds, casting a faint black light.
The sky is dim and there is only darkness.
The sky for thousands of miles is all dim and lightless, and the stars and moon are dim.
"This, what is this?"
Chen Xiu stared carefully and his heart trembled violently.
Although his cultivation level is no longer there, his body is still the same and his eyes are still clear.
He saw it very clearly!
The dark clouds that cover the sky, cover the bright moon, and engulf the stars are actually wings that soar upward and are completely spread out! !
Just one wing covered the sky of the Tang Dynasty for nearly 8,000 miles!
The great sage of the demon clan, the Peng Demon King!
"The Demon Clan has taken action." Chen Xiu's eyes were a bit deep and solemn as he murmured: "The great saints of the Demon Clan are all creatures of creation. Now, even if they are not perfect, they are still far better. More than an ordinary immortal."
He slowly raised his hand, and between his palms, there were billions of holy rays of light.
Majestic and majestic, clear away the haze!
In the brilliance, an ancient and time-honored golden sword is quietly dignified, noble and sublime.
The dazzling golden sword light stirred up the sky, tore through the sea of clouds, cut through the darkness, and went straight into the sky.
"Go. With my will, go to the Capital of Gods and into the hands of Li Shimin! I warn him that the array of human beings should be opened at this moment! It has been prepared for decades since the first year of Zhenguan, spreading across the stars and rivers, including the universe. , the human emperor’s array of sentient beings containing billions of galaxies, it’s time to appear in this world!” Chen Xiu said softly.
call out--
A sharp sound broke through the air, and the golden sword light penetrated the void and went straight into the depths.
Chen Xiu clasped his hands together, looked calm and calm, and said softly: "Moonlight Bodhisattva, please help Bodhisattva to arouse the sea of suffering in all heavens and worlds for Xiu. Xiu, we are going to cross the sea."
"Are you sure?" In Moonlight Bodhisattva's gentle words, for the first time, he was a little more worried.
"Xiu has made up his mind!" Chen Xiu's words were extremely decisive.
The moment the words fell, everything in front of him seemed to be replaced by a dirty and chaotic sea of blood.
Boundless, endless.
The vast ocean has no boundaries and no end in sight.
It seems that the huge world is swallowed up by this chaotic and silent ocean!
Above the sea, it was calm and dead, with no sea breeze or waves, it was extremely quiet.
At this moment, I seemed to be standing in the middle of this filthy and chaotic blood-colored ocean, completely absorbed by the ocean.
"This is."
Chen Xiu slowly raised his hand, feeling extremely heavy and depressed.
He looked back and saw that his wrists and even ankles were covered with rusty, blood-stained shackles, blocking his movements.
"The sea of suffering is in chaos, and all living beings are perishing. Everything in the world of mortals is a shackle." Moonlight Bodhisattva's words rang in Chen Xiu's ears, "Raise your head, look straight ahead, and tell me, what do you see?"
Chen Xiu looked up, his eyes suddenly condensed!
Under that filthy bloody ocean, it seemed like a human city!
In other words, it is all the heavens and realms, the vast universe!
"The realm of immortals is known as 'beyond the three realms and not among the five elements', but it is still drowning in the sea of suffering. Only the creator can live above the sea of suffering." Calm words sounded, and the huge and ferocious Nine The first lion slowly appeared.
The huge figure stood like a falling star on the filthy sea of suffering.
"Here, there is an existence above all the heavens and worlds. In the Tao Sect, it is the twenty-ninth heaven of the thirty-six heavens. It is the beginning of the four Brahma heavens of the Tao Sect, above the ninth heaven." Jiuling Yuan Sheng said softly. He said: "The heaven you have been to is located at the top of the twenty-eighth heaven. According to the Taoist scriptures, it is the upper colorless sky."
Four Brahmās?
Chen Xiu's eyes flickered and he said thoughtfully: "I remember that the Four Brahma Heavens were mentioned in the Taoist collection. Legend has it that this is a sacred place that transcends disaster and reincarnation."
"The Four Brahma Heavens are among the thirty-six heavens, from the twenty-ninth to the thirty-second heavens. This is the place where the realm of creation can be set foot. And above the Four Brahma Heavens, there are the Three Pure Heavens, that is, They are the Great Chi Heaven in the Taiqing Realm, the Yuyu Heaven in the Shangqing Realm, and the Light Heaven in the Yuqing Realm. They correspond in turn to the Taiqing Daode Tianzun, the Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, and the Yuqing Original Tianzun who created the world and created the world. This is The three days are from the 33rd to the 35th heaven. As for the last heaven, it is the Great Luotian, which is also the 36th heaven! Dao fruit practitioners can set foot here!" Jiulingyuan The Holy Spirit spoke quietly: "Now, where you are is the Four Brahma Heavens! The Sea of Suffering is right here!"
Chen Xiu looked far away at the extremely filthy sea of blood and said slowly: "What should I do?"
"Step into the sea of suffering, move forward with all your heart, strive upward, and never look back. If you can stick to your heart, stabilize your 'self', and move forward in the sea of suffering, you will naturally see the next path clearly. . However, it is not easy to escape from the sea of suffering. Moreover, once you step into it, you will have no regrets!" Jiuling Yuan Sheng said in a deep voice: "Chen Xiu, have you thought about it? This is a point of no return. Lu, either become enlightened or completely fall like the Human Emperor!"
"The immortals and Buddhas have been born, and the immortals are no longer invincible. In today's world, the demon clan has raised an army to invade the Tang Dynasty. Only the realm of creation can compete with the realm of creation. If I realize the Tao of Creation, and I am an invincible immortal, what will happen to me? What's the use?" Chen Xiu said calmly and walked straight away.
The filthy water of the Sea of Bitterness swallowed his figure completely in an instant.
At this moment, Chen Xiu felt that his memory and thoughts began to become blurred and confused.
The shackles that restrained the whole body became heavier and heavier as the steps were taken.
"In the sea of suffering, all living beings sink. In the eternal ocean, there is the obsession for all living beings and the shackles of all living beings. The thoughts of all races are felt. This is why, you need to understand clearly what you are." If so. Ruowu's words sounded quietly.
In Chen Xiu's eyes, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the Taoist Taoist with a long beard and a compassionate face.
"Guang, Guangcheng Tianzun?"
He murmured and continued walking upward.
But the self in my memory has become a little different.
Inexplicable information and inexplicable thoughts began to come to mind.
"Wow--"
The sound of the wave sounded, and Chen Xiu trembled all over.
What he saw was moist and rotten soil, deep darkness, and smelly ditches.
The last thing I saw was a dark cave filled with all kinds of junk.
A rotten feeling came over me.
This perspective is very low and completely different from what humans see. It seems to be another side of the scene.
"What perspective is this?"
Chen Xiu stumbled and walked under the bridge at a very fast speed. He arrived at a pool and leaned down slightly.
This was a perspective he had never experienced before.
What caught his eye was a huge black mouse.
"This, this is me? This is who I am now?" When Chen Xiu wiped his cheeks with his hands, the mouse reflected in the pool also stretched out its paws and wiped its cheeks.
Like, this is really me.
Am I a mouse now?
Did I turn into a mouse, or did I take away the mouse's body, or did I use the eight-nine mysterious skills to transform into a mouse?
The more he imagined this, the more Chen Xiu felt like he was a mouse.
"No! It's all wrong!"
Chen Xiu's consciousness suddenly became clear, and he murmured: "I am Chen Xiu! I am the Martial Saint of the Tang Dynasty, the guardian of the human race, and the original king of the Yuxu Taoist Sect, Chen Xiu! I am not a mouse. This memory now , does not belong to me."
"Yes, this memory does not belong to me! I am Chen Xiu. In order to reach the other shore and achieve the realm of creation, I am now crossing the sea of suffering! Yes, that's right! This is the memory of all living beings drowning in the sea of suffering. This belongs to mice. memory."
"What I see now is an illusion, a hallucination, a mirage!"
Chen Xiu warned himself crazily in his heart.
At this moment, the pool in front of him began to collapse, and the figure reflected in it gradually disappeared.
He raised his head and looked up.
The sky is blue and the sea of clouds is vast.
The wings move with the wind, soaring under the sky, passing through the sea of clouds, and flying through the forest.
"Am I an eagle now? Is this the real me? Or is this still an illusion?"
Chen Xiu murmured, his eyes seemed to be sinking, but gradually became clear again.
"I am Chen Xiu, I am a human race! I am the Martial Saint of the Tang Dynasty! I am a disciple of the Yuxu Taoist Sect! I am the original king of this generation! I am a former time traveler!"
He muttered, holding on to his heart.
The light and shadow in front of me changed again.
At this time, what he saw were rugged mountains and green bamboos swaying in the wind.
The raindrops falling on the body feel moist but not chilly.
"Why can't I move?"
Chen Xiu bowed his head and saw himself clearly: "Oh, it turns out I am a stone monster in the mountain!"
The memories of many creatures, such as eagles, stone monsters, and even swimming fish, emerged one by one in the depths of his memory.
It's extremely natural and harmonious, nothing strange or stiff at all.
It was as if he had completely transformed into them.
"I am Chen Xiu, and I am a human! Everything I saw just now was an illusion! It was my soul attached to them, and I saw the world from their perspective! I am not an animal, but also a monster in the mountains! I am a real human being!" Chen Xiu gritted his teeth, his eyes blurred and confused.
The world in front of him seemed to be completely distorted.
Rays of light and shadow flickered between the pupils, each one was so real and so real.
While maintaining himself and protecting his true heart, Chen Xiu experienced dream-like lights and shadows again and again.
Even if he has a will like his, he sometimes wonders, which one is the real me?
Did Zhuang Sheng dream of butterflies, or did butterflies dream of Zhuang Sheng?
this is me?
Is this me too?
Is this me?
Chen Xiu guarded his heart, engraved his identity, and walked towards the sea of suffering in the cycle of memories again and again.
With every step he took, the feeling of shackles shackles his whole body became more and more obvious.
The heaviness like mountains and seas becomes more and more obvious!
"Perhaps this is the advantage of 'Zhan Wu See Me'. If I still have thousands of 'others and me' now, then I'm afraid I will never be able to stay awake and maintain my understanding of myself." Chen Xiu said to himself with difficulty. .
The self who has cut off martial arts and integrated all "others and me" has such a confused memory in the sea of suffering. He is almost sinking in Zhuang Sheng's dream of dreaming of butterflies, and is on the edge of being lost again and again.
So, how do other immortal beings resist such a dreamy feeling?
He couldn't imagine it.
As his thoughts turned around, Chen Xiu's memory changed again.
He sticks to his heart and insists on himself.
In the memories of all living beings, they maintain their recognition and recognition of the identity of "Chen Xiu", while walking step by step towards the distant top.
Every step you take is walking through a new world.
The Nine Spirit Demon Saint looked at the figure walking on the sea of suffering and said slowly: "Chen Xiu is much tougher than I imagined."
"Chen Xiu, after all, he is the first self-realized immortal in this era of hardship. His talent, perseverance, and character are all excellent. However, the sea of sinking is the first hurdle." Moonlight Bodhisattva spoke softly.
The world of the Tang Dynasty was completely shrouded in darkness.
The wings that suppress the sky cover everything.
At this time, in the Imperial Court of the Divine Capital, a light golden divine light suddenly bloomed, shining on the heaven and earth like a bright sun.
A low dragon roar sounded, and a figure that looked like a god stepped into the Fengtian Terrace.
The heaven and earth shook, and layers of phantoms emerged from the depths of the void, like a nine-layered heavenly palace!
After a few breaths, a majestic and righteous aura of the Holy King burst out!
A sword light as vast as the Milky Way in the Nine Heavens rose from the self-proclaimed rooftop, carrying the power of all living beings, and cut into the darkness with mighty force.
In the sky, a low roar sounded: "Human Emperor Sword? Why is it in your hand?"
Li Shimin stood on the Fengtian Platform, holding the golden sword.
All phenomena in the world, mountains, rivers, gods and Buddhas, all appear at this moment.
He held the sword in his hand and said solemnly: "With the order of the Human Emperor, I order all realms to form a formation!"
As he spoke, a five-color divine light flashed above the Sealing Tiantai!
Red, green, yellow, white, and black are intertwined among the five colors, and the five-sided altar emerges.
This is an altar that symbolizes the five ancient emperors. It is full of antiquity and time, as if it has been built for thousands of years!
They guard the position of the Five Elements, guarding the towering nine-layered Heaven-Sealing Platform!
"The heroic souls of the Five Emperors command the five directions; the nine-level sacred platform commands the Heavenly Palace!"
Li Shimin waved the Human Emperor Sword and roared fiercely: "Replace heaven and earth with humanity, and the formation of all living beings rises!!"
boom--
The void trembled, and the principles of law collapsed.
Billions of rays of light shine in the sky, originating from all directions and the universe, all converging on the Fengtian Platform.
A touch of light golden formation fell!
All evils dissipate, nothing is indestructible, nothing is indestructible!
"Is this your last resort?"
The indifferent words resounded in the sky, and Demon King Peng said in a cold voice: "I order all clans to raise flags to attack the Tang Dynasty and reestablish the royal court of the demon clan!"
