The doubts that had been hidden in Chen Qing's heart were finally solved at this time. Although it was not completely solved, it made his future path clearer.
"Do you know why we have been optimistic about you from the beginning?" Lao Jun suddenly asked this question, which stunned Chen Qing.
It seems to be the same as imagined. A long time ago, Master Tongtian seemed to be guiding him towards this path, and even clearly informed him of some situations.
You know, although Chen Qing was amazing and powerful at that time, to saints like them, he was just average.
However, at such an early stage, Master Tongtian was already optimistic about himself and wanted to put himself on the road to prove the Tao through strength.
Chen Qing didn't believe that this was because Master Tongtian was afraid that he would succeed in attaining enlightenment, become a prehistoric saint, and occupy a holy position.
That was completely underestimating the Tongtian Cult Master, and Chen Qing had never thought about it.
If Chen Qing really wants to go in this direction, then the Six Saints will have their own response, instead of relying on this method to plot against a small quasi-sage.
Chen Qing thought carefully about what advantages he might have?
Or is it because he traveled through time?
Chen Qing thought for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "Disciple, I don't know. Please ask me to clarify my doubts."
Laojun said with a smile: "First, you, Chen Qing, are really amazing. This is undeniable. Especially your fighting power is very powerful. This is very important."
"I believe you should also understand from the situations I just mentioned. If you want to prove the truth with force, at the last moment, the disasters you will encounter can be said to be unprecedented. No one has a strong fighting force. When facing these disasters, There is only a dead end.”
Chen Qing nodded, it was indeed the case. Imagine how terrifying the battle power of the Great God Pangu was, but he was still exhausted to death.
Without a strong fighting force, we would not be able to survive to the end when facing various disasters.
Just like the disaster of the three thousand Chaos Demon Gods, without the extremely powerful fighting power, they might die on the spot.
Laojun continued: "Combat strength is only part of it. Another thing is that you have embarked on a unique path."
"This is also very important, but we only have feelings about it, but we don't know everything."
After Chen Qing heard this, he asked more questions about this. Maybe this was just a vague induction that Laojun and the others got from Pangu Yuan Shen.
However, Chen Qing still did not interrupt Lao Jun. He was now glad that he was looking for Lao Jun, not the Taiqing Saint or the Tongtian Cult Master.
Even the leader of Tongtian may not have so much patience to say so many things.
Not to mention the Taiqing Saint.
Although he didn't meet Sage Taiqing many times, Chen Qing could feel that Sage Taiqing was definitely not a talkative person.
Although Laojun is the incarnation of Taiqing Saint, his personality is completely different.
But Chen Qing's mind seemed to have a flash of lightning, and he thought of something.
"Could it be that Tathagata Buddha..." Chen Qing didn't finish his words, but there was a trace of determination in his eyes.
Sure enough, Laojun nodded and said: "Yes, Duobao was also led by us to let him embark on this path."
Chen Qing secretly thought that indeed, in fact, he had never quite understood Duobao Tathagata's choice.
Because he is very clear about Duobao Tathagata's feelings for Jie Jiao and his feelings for Tongtian Cult Leader.
This cannot be easily persuaded, not even by the Taiqing Sage himself.
Otherwise Taoist Duobao would not have had such high achievements back then.
Just like asking Chen Qing to betray Heavenly Court now, this is simply impossible, and it will damage Chen Qing's Taoist heart.
However, Taoist Duobao chose to leave the shattered Jie Sect and join the Western Sect.
Although he finally broke away from Western religion and founded Buddhism, which was regarded as a conspiracy against the two Western sages, Chen Qing always felt a little awkward.
With Duobao Tathagata's character back then, he would never abandon Jie Jiao. This is unquestionable.
So there must be something secret in it. As for plotting against Buddhism for the sake of Taoism, although it is possible, it is very reluctant.
Because Jiejiao has become what it is now, the main reason is due to the calculations of Chanjiao and Renjiao.
Although improving Taoist luck can, in some respects, help Jiejiao survive, this is not the character of Duobao Tathagata.
It's just that the relationship between Chen Qing and Duobao Tathagata is not that good, so they won't ask about the reason.
There is another reason, and that is the attitude of the Second Saint in the West.
You know, this is a great religion where two saints sit. Although saints were not allowed to enter the wilderness at that time, Chen Qing still couldn't believe that his foundation was taken away so easily.
He even didn't take revenge afterward, which is not the character of Taoist Zhunti.
Chen Qing couldn't understand these things, but he didn't want to explore them before.
Now that Lao Jun said this, he seemed to understand the reason.
"I asked why Saint Zhunti and the others were so quiet. It turned out to be to allow Tathagata Duobao to go his own way." Chen Qing seemed to sigh with emotion.
Lao Jun said with a smile: "This is also a kind of conspiracy. Of course, it is mainly the calculation of Saint Taiqing. I have to say that Saint Taiqing's calculation is quite terrifying, and his scheming is too deep."
Listening to Lao Jun's emotion-like words, Chen Qing was obviously stunned. Lao Jun, are you really okay with saying that?
As if he didn't see Chen Qing's gaze, Lao Jun continued: "Sage Taiqing just wanted to give it a try. After all, everyone knows how difficult this road is."
"But only in this way can we prevent Zhunti from counterattacking."
As he spoke, Lao Jun sighed again, "If you want to take the path of realizing the Tao through strength, you must not practice the method of killing three corpses to become a quasi-sage. If you do, this road will be completely cut off."
"The reason why the teacher spread this method of killing three corpses back then was just to supplement the prehistoric throne."
"As long as the Prehistoric Sainthood is complete, he will have a chance to escape from the predicament."
"But in the same way, once you practice the method of killing three corpses, you will be completely bound to the ancient world, and you will not be able to embark on the path of realizing the Tao through force."
"Among the three religions, only Duobao has enlightened himself and practiced his own method of enlightenment."
"Before this, we didn't give any deliberate guidance. Everything depends on ourselves."
"But Duobao was deeply influenced by us after all. Although he did not practice the method of killing three corpses, his path to the great road is similar to ours."
Chen Qing understood that Taoist Duobao practiced with Sanqing back then.
At that time, the relationship between Sanqing was still very good, and they treated Taoist Duobao as if they were his own disciples.
Basically teach him without reservation.
This also made Taoist Duobao more profoundly influenced by the Three Purities.
Of course, if Taoist Duobao does not take the path of realizing the Tao through force, then this will be a great opportunity.
But if Taoist Duobao chooses to take the path of realizing the Tao through force, this becomes an obstacle.
"So we let him enter Western religion, learn Western methods, and see if he can truly find his own path." Laojun continued.
Thinking about it, in the entire prehistoric period, the only method that can escape from the Three Purities is probably the Western method.
As for Empress Nuwa, her methods are naturally extremely profound, but her cultivation method is more suitable for the demon clan.
Therefore, if Duobao Tathagata wants to break away from the scope of the Three Pure Paths, it can only start from the Western teaching methods, integrate and collide with each other, and then find its own way.
Chen Qing now understood some of the secrets of ancient times and got his doubts clarified.
"So now Tathagata Buddha has embarked on his own path?" Chen Qing asked.
Chen Qing only had a general understanding of the Saint's Avenue, and didn't know the details at all.
So he didn't know whether Duobao Tathagata had gone his own way now.
Laojun said with great relief: "He has broken away from the shackles of our great road and truly walked out of his own way."
As he said that, Lao Jun glanced at Chen Qing and said, "But the gap between him and you is getting wider and wider now, and his hope is even slimmer."
After finishing speaking, Laojun didn't say anything more on this issue and immediately changed the topic back.
"The reason why we were optimistic about you from the beginning is actually because you are a person from the ancient times. As long as all the ancient monks go out of their own way, we are actually guiding them intentionally or unintentionally."
"It's just that in the end you were the only one who made it this far."
Chen Qing didn't quite understand the meaning of Lao Jun's words, but he didn't rush to ask, knowing that Lao Jun would give him the answer.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard Lao Jun say: "The reason why Pangu was so heavily targeted back then was actually mainly because Pangu was conceived by chaos and was too deeply involved with the chaotic heaven."
Chen Qing nodded. Laojun had already said this before.
"With such huge causal involvement, coupled with the guidance of Chaos Heaven, Pangu created the world at an inappropriate time, which greatly damaged his own strength."
"Even if Pangu understands this, he can't stop it because he needs to repay this cause and effect."
"As for the specific reason, we don't know. There are many mysteries in it, but you don't need to worry about it."
As he said this, Lao Jun's eyes were full of expression. This was the first time Chen Qing saw Lao Jun showing such emotions.
Chen Qing said subconsciously: "Honghuang?"
Lao Jun glanced at Chen Qing approvingly, "Yes, it's because of the prehistoric era. The prehistoric era is the world created by Pangu. Although it is involved with the chaos of heaven, the involvement is not deep, especially since Pangu had already repaid his debt to the chaos. cause and effect."
"So you only need to repay the karma between the prehistoric and yours, and the prehistoric will not be able to hinder you in any way. Even the chaos of heaven will pose a much less threat to you, at least compared to Pangu's back then. It’s a lot easier.”
Chen Qing understood, and it turned out that this was the main reason.
"The prehistoric Heavenly Way has no will of its own, but it was born because of Pangu after all, so it also has some influence from Pangu." Laojun said.
"Of course, without this opportunity, even so, it would be extremely difficult for you to repay the prehistoric cause and effect. We didn't think of this at the time. We just thought that in this regard, we had some innate advantages."
"But it's different now. Now because of the world war, the ancient law of heaven asked you to repay the cause and effect, and you did it."
"When you have completely reconciled the cause and effect of the Great Desolate World, then when you choose to attain enlightenment from now on, the Great Desolate World will not have any hindrance to you!"
When Lao Jun talked about this, he seemed to be a little excited. This was because he really saw a glimmer of hope.
Although there was only a glimmer of hope, it was the greatest hope they had seen in countless years.
Lao Jun's mood slowly calmed down, and he stared at Chen Qing, "You have come this far, and the road ahead will be much easier than Pangu's. The biggest disaster in the future will also be much less than Pangu's."
"It can be said that if Pangu had the conditions like you back then, he would have succeeded."
Chen Qing was shocked. When he actually embarked on this path, he actually knew that becoming a saint through his strength was actually different from other saints.
It can even be said that it is not on the same level, and even transcends the level of a saint.
Otherwise, the existence of proving the Tao through force would not be a legend in the endless chaos.
And listening to Laojun, it seems that Pangu was really just a hair short of that.
Chen Qing said seriously: "This disciple will definitely succeed."
Not loud, but with firm conviction!
Lao Jun also looked at Chen Qing very seriously, "We also hope you can succeed."
"Once you succeed, it will be of great benefit to us."
As for the benefits, Laojun didn't say anything, but Chen Qing could actually guess some of them.
After all, Dao Ancestor and the Six Saints must have their own reasons for supporting themselves in this way, and just wanting to see the birth of a being who can prove the Dao with force is obviously not enough to support them.
Daozu's needs are actually best guessed, because what Daozu wants most is to break away from the prehistoric way of heaven, and if Chen Qing really succeeds, maybe he can help him.
As for the Six Saints, Chen Qing only had a vague guess.
But these are not important, everything needs to be said after success.
"You have reached this point, and you can truly understand our cultivation method." Laojun said.
Chen Qing was suddenly surprised, "What does Laojun mean?"
The old man nodded, "Yes, we will teach you all the practice methods and experiences next. If you have not taken this step, our practice methods will have an impact on you, but there is no need to worry now. ”
Chen Qing understood what Lao Jun meant, which meant that his current Dao was no longer afraid of the influence of the Six Saints' Dao.
You can completely incorporate the practices of the Six Saints that suit you into your own practice system without worrying about conflicts with the Six Saints.
This is a great help to Chen Qing. You must know that Chen Qing got to where he is today, mostly by himself.
Now if we have the Avenue of Saints as a reference, then our strength will be greatly improved again.
