That round of bright light emerged, like the manifestation of the great road, exuding eternal brilliance.
The universe is born and dies in it, the earth, wind, water and fire evolve, and hundreds of millions of disasters flow through it. The simple and wonderful Tao and principles are described, making people feel the endless evolution of time and space, as if they are in the ultimate Tao, immersed in it, unable to Extricate yourself.
"The gathering of three flowers at the top is an illusion, and the clouds flying under your feet are not real. You must wake up from a big dream, and return to the dust without roots."
Shen Gongbao picked up the flower and smiled, and the whole world was affected. The void rippled, and the false practice became true. Fairy flowers bloomed all around, gorgeous and colorful, exuding the supreme Taoist charm. The breeze blew through the petals, as if the Tao was whispering, to People speak.
A trace of Dao Qi fell down, turning into thousands of purple clouds of auspiciousness, and a wisp of clear air rose up, evolving into the Yuanshi Wujie Qingyun, holding up a Taixu Dao Fruit that seemed true but not real, seemed false but not false.
At this moment, Shen Gongbao's figure was extremely vast, majestic, and admirable. It exuded a sacred and solemn aura, and the entire universe became silent.
Empress Fengdu was stunned. She had been fighting with the Emperor of Heaven for countless years. She thought she was at the forefront of spiritual practice. Even if she died together with the Emperor of Heaven, she did not die for the Tao or reincarnate to open the way.
She never expected that besides her and the Emperor of Heaven, there would be another person who took the path of Hedao and took this step firmly.
Not only did he deceive him, he also deceived the Emperor of Heaven and deceived all the gods in the sky.
"Illusion, reality."
"Use virtuality to combine with Tao, use reality to combine with Tao."
"That's it, that's it."
Chao heard that Dao Xi could die. At this moment, Empress Fengdu came back to her senses and shed sincere tears. She asked with great excitement: "How should I go on this road? Please give me the advice of the Golden Emperor."
"The body has been trained to look like a crane, and two scriptures are written under a thousand pines. When I come to ask questions, I can only say that the clouds are in the blue sky and the water is in the bottle."
Shen Gongbao whispered softly, took off like a white crane spreading its wings, and finally landed on the ground, turning into a Taoist. He smiled leisurely and said: "The so-called truth is false, and false is true."
"The Great Dao is there. It seems to be changing endlessly, but in fact there is no change. The reason why you follow the Dao based on reality is that you are actually confused by the Great Dao."
Empress Fengdu asked in confusion: "We, the innate gods, are born according to the laws of the Great Dao. We are gifted with magical powers and have authority. This Great Dao is as clear as our physical bodies. Why are we confused?"
Shen Gongbao smiled and said nothing, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, the fairy flower turned into a ball of fairy fire, burning brightly, igniting the whole world, and at the same time reflecting the shadows of the two people.
"False and true, pros and cons, what seems right is actually wrong, what seems wrong is actually only partially right."
Empress Fengdu is worthy of being one of the first gods in the world and one of the first people to follow the Way. Although she has taken the wrong path for the time being, she, Red Emperor and Shen Gongbao are the only ones in the entire universe who have touched the limit of joining the Way.
This kind of talent can be regarded as one of the top three in all time. Looking at the light and shadow, and then gathering his own path, he suddenly became enlightened and found a clue.
Shen Gongbao nodded secretly. A genius like Red Emperor Fengdu has no lack of opportunity, no lack of good fortune, no lack of perseverance, and no lack of wisdom. The only thing he lacks is experience, direction, and path.
When the world first opened, no one came to preach, and no so-called Taoist ancestors appeared to forcefully divide realms and establish a perfect system. Everything was still being explored.
Since it is exploration, mistakes will be made, this is inevitable.
Failure is the mother of success, and success is piled on failure again and again.
Many seekers who are striving to survive in the human world are confused, unable to move forward, and encounter bottlenecks because they cannot find their way.
The direction is wrong. The harder you work, the more passive you become. The path is wrong. The stronger you become, the harder it is to turn back.
Fortunately, both Fengdu and Chidi seemed to understand this, and took advantage of the opportunity of the war in heaven to decisively reincarnate and once again take the opportunity to find the right path.
Now, Shen Gongbao has taken the lead and taught Emperor Fengdu how to avoid being excited and frustrated by the truth and the great road that she has been pursuing so hard.
“We seem to own the avenue, but in fact we are owned by the avenue.”
Shen Gongbao said meaningfully: "Nurture practitioners are like blind men trying to grasp an elephant. When looking at a leopard through a tube, they can only see a corner of the road. The innate spirit itself is an elephant, but does the elephant understand itself?"
"The self in the eyes of an elephant is ultimately composed of words, ultimately projected by the surface of the lake, and ultimately reflected by the mirror."
"Ze Wu sees me and I am not myself; cut the Tao and see that the Tao is not the Tao."
"For this vast universe, only He itself is real, and only the universe exists. Whether it is acquired creatures or innate gods, they are all part of this existence and part of this reality."
"So when you go to combine the Tao with the Red Emperor, you only find the road of combining the Tao with reality, because this road is extremely clear, you can see it, and you can explore it."
"The road of combining the Tao with reality cannot be considered a mistake, but it is too dangerous. We need to fight, fight with our enemies, compete with the whole world, and fight with the universe. Thousands of armies and horses cross the single-plank bridge, and three thousand people join the Tao. Only one will survive in the end."
"How cruel, how tragic, and what a waste."
Empress Fengdu was shocked. Before she was reincarnated, she had already foreseen the cruelty of Yishihedao. She didn't expect it to be so bloody. She couldn't help but murmured: "The odds of winning are too small."
The three thousand followers are just an empty sign, sometimes fewer, sometimes more, but without exception, they are all amazing and talented people who have gone through millions of tribulations and finally reached the top.
Even in Fengdu, the Red Emperor did not dare to underestimate this kind of existence. Forget about one or two. If thousands or hundreds of people swarmed up and fought to the end, no one was sure that they could survive the real bloodbath.
It is normal for oneself to be dead rather than for the opponent to be detached.
In the end, it is very likely that the Hedao people will perish together, and the universe will absorb the wisdom and experience of these Hedao people, and create a new world again after experiencing destruction.
The ultimate winner is not man, but God.
Time is mottled and the passage of time allows the gods and kings to see the timeline. What's more, the Golden Immortal Emperor has been able to deduce his own future a little, deviate in a direction that is beneficial to his own ending, and strive to avoid the worst ending.
The reason why Chidi and Fengdu reincarnated so happily was because they saw many of their futures in the long river of time and made the most advantageous choice.
"Yes, the odds are too slim."
Shen Gongbao echoed, then smiled and stopped talking. He looked like a riddle man who was half-talking, making people have the urge to beat him up.
Empress Fengdu took a deep breath, suppressed this conflict, bowed respectfully, and said with a solemn expression: "I would like to invite the Taoist ancestor to teach me."
There has been no Taoist ancestors from ancient times to the present, and all the world has been barbarians.
In the very beginning, when all was wild and bloody, it was the Five Emperors who united to bring the entire civilization from the wilderness to enlightenment, getting rid of the state of ignorance and marching towards the cultivation system.
Today, after two epochs and countless catastrophes, the Lotus Lantern universe has become more and more complete. It is time for a Taoist ancestor to appear and dominate this life.
The Red Emperor and the Fengdu Emperor were both moving towards this goal, but unfortunately they failed.
But, someone succeeded!
The Golden Emperor took an extremely crucial step with the combination of virtuality and Taoism, sublimating the entire immortal civilization. From then on, it was no longer a real part of the universe, but began to jump out of the universe.
The one who truly stands side by side with the universe is the Monkey King, the Great Sage, who is also the Taoist ancestor of this world.
"Taozu, you can't do it, you can't do it."
Shen Gongbao shook his head and said, "Let's call him Daojun."
After traveling through several worlds, Shen Gongbao discovered an interesting thing, that is, there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings.
In the Yuanyang Realm, the Earth Immortal is known as the Tao Lord, in the Jiuzhou World, the Earth Immortal is a saint, and in the Baolian Lantern Universe, he is upgraded to the Tao Ancestor.
If he were a native of the local universe, he would have recognized this name half-heartedly. After all, the natives who have attained the Taoist Golden Immortal do have the status of Taoist ancestors.
But Shen Gongbao is not a native, but an immortal who has descended from the ancient world. He has a foothold, a Taoist lineage, and a teacher. Naturally, he cannot casually accept the name Taoist Ancestor.
The Earth Immortal is called Zhenren, the Celestial Immortal is called Zhenjun, the Golden Immortal is called Daojun, Taiyi is called Daozun, and Daluo is called Tianzun, which respectively symbolize the status they have achieved.
The Golden Immortal is the Dao King, the king of the great road, symbolizing the master of a road.
Taiyi is the Taoist, symbolizing the end of the road. It originates from the name of Taiyi, the true co-respect of all Taoism.
Daluo Tianzun, this title comes neatly and neatly. It is the respect for immortals in the Shinto era. Even the heaven gave up the pursuit of immortals. Only the immortals who need to be respected can be called Tianzun.
In the vast universe, most of the Golden Immortal Dao Lords cannot defeat the Tengu Dao Lord. They are really not as good as dogs. After Tai Dao Zun disappeared, the name of Dao Zun was ruined in the streets. Taiyi Dao Zun was everywhere, even if he was as powerful as Daluo Tianzun. , not a few either.
However, there are only a few Taoist ancestors throughout the ages.
Taishang Daozu, Yuanshi Daozu, Hongjun Daozu, these are all very normal titles.
What if a Emperor Wa Emperor Daozu suddenly appeared?
Everyone may have pinched their noses to recognize him because of his fists the size of red hydrangeas, but privately they couldn't help but murmured that Emperor Wa was so strange.
The Human Ancestor of Emperor Wa and the Demon Ancestor of Emperor Wa are both more reliable than the Dao Ancestor of Emperor Wa.
Even Emperor Wa was not good at calling him Taoist ancestor, let alone a little leopard like him, so let's use the name Taojun for the time being.
Even if he, the Dao Lord, is so weak that he cannot even create or destroy his own universe, relying on that little bit of immortal aura, all the gods in the sky still have to pinch their noses and admit that he is a genuine Dao Lord.
Because the essence of Jinxian Daojun lies in immortality, and power comes with it.
"Master Dao?"
Empress Fengdu paused for a moment, not knowing what the Golden Emperor meant, but she still followed his wishes and said respectfully: "Greetings to the Lord Dao."
"Master Dao."
Hearing these two names, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but burst out laughing, remembering how frightened he felt when he projected himself into another world for the first time, as if he was walking on thin ice.
Now, I, Yuanyang Daojun, am finally a genuine Daojun!
"Not bad."
Shen Gongbao nodded in a happy mood, stretched out his hand to stroke Empress Fengdu's hair, braided it into a bun, and said leisurely: "Come into my sect and teach you the great road."
Blossoming golden flowers drooped, purple energy boiled, many divine springs appeared on the earth, and sweet river water gushed out, nourishing the creatures on the earth, as if the whole world was congratulating this scene.
Emperor Fengdu is like a dream. He attained enlightenment so easily. Isn't it too easy?
Sensing the temperature of the hand on top of her head, she couldn't help but think of a poem, "The immortal caressed my head, and my hair was tied to immortality."
"Disciple pays homage to teacher."
The Second Emperor of Fengdu practiced Buddhism and had a firm mind. He quickly came to his senses and paid homage.
"good."
Shen Gongbao nodded and said meaningfully: "Now that you have entered my sect, everything you did yesterday is just like you died yesterday, and everything you do today is just like you were born today."
"From now on, you are no longer the Empress of Fengdu. If you want to inherit my name and become the Golden Emperor, you will be the Queen Mother of the West of Kunlun!"
Boom!
The universe suddenly exploded with thunder, and countless previous auspicious visions disappeared into thin air, as if God was angry and sent down punishment.
The combination of green thunder and purple electricity pierced the deep and dark universe. The huge arc of chaos was like a real dragon tumbling on the edge of the galaxy. It illuminated the entire universe immeasurably, making everything clearly visible, as if it were billions of stars. It exploded at this moment.
Shen Gongbao turned a blind eye, listened without questioning, and just said to himself: "The Tao is boundless. Even the Golden Immortal Emperor, who is stronger than me, is only a part of it. We need to respect the Tao and God's will."
After a pause, Shen Gongbao looked at the world-destroying scenery, smiled slightly, said calmly and calmly: "Queen Mother of the West, you must remember that combining the Tao with emptiness is not a smooth road, nor is it a dead end with reality. , the combination of reality and reality, and the way to use it lies in one mind. Only then can one understand the mystery of the universe."
"Have you ever understood?!"
The former Emperor Fengdu, and today the Queen Mother of the West looked in a daze, but she instinctively bowed: "Disciple understands."
"Who are you?" Shen Gongbao asked.
"Disciple Queen Mother Xi understands." The second generation Queen Mother Xi bowed again.
The endless darkness of the universe was swept away, as if the scene of destruction just now was just an illusion. A long river of time slowly flowed out, recording the major nodes of the past, future, and present.
This is: The Lord of the Explanation of Teachings Preaching to the Queen Mother of the West
Also: The origin of immortality.
When Shen Gongbao saw this, he smiled knowingly. Who said that only Daluo could do the reduction to empty? He said that someone could also do the reduction to empty.
Inherit my name, inherit my cause and effect.
The myths of the Golden Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West are separate but closely connected, which is perfectly logical.
The second-generation Queen Mother of the West raised her head and stopped talking, as if she had something to say.
Shen Gongbao was in a good mood and waved his hand: "But it doesn't matter."
The second-generation Queen Mother of the West paused and asked tentatively: "If my disciple inherits the position of King of the West, who will take care of Fengdu."
"Of course it's Ksitigarbha."
Shen Gongbao smiled slightly and said: "Only by admitting that oneself is an illusion and the universe is real can the virtual be combined with the Tao."
"After combining the virtual with the Tao, it is natural to seek truth."
"The right way is to combine reality with reality."
All tactics were changed, he became the Lord of the Netherworld, and the Lord of the Netherworld became the Queen Mother of the West, everything was very reasonable.
The second-generation Queen Mother of the West was in a daze for a while, and it took her a long time to accept this fact.
The Queen Mother of the West has a new path, Shen Gongbao combines reality and reality, Zhang Huangtian practices hard in the world, and everyone has a bright future.
