Walking into the Taoist temple with Master Xuandu, Jiang Heng soon met Laozi, the Taiqing saint who was one of the Three Pure Ones and the head of the Six Saints.
This is not the first time Jiang Heng has met Taiqing Sage Laozi. Compared with when he preached among the human race, Taiqing Sage has not changed at all.
He is still dressed like an old man in Taoist robes, and the mysterious Taoist charm surrounds him, making people easily afraid to look at the Taiqing Saint.
"Greetings to Saint Taiqing/Master!" Jiang Heng and Master Xuandu each saluted and said respectfully.
"Xuandu, you go down first!" Saint Taiqing said.
"Master! Xuandu will leave for now!" Archmage Xuandu bowed again and saluted Saint Taiqing before leaving.
Now, only Jiang Heng and Saint Taiqing were left in the Taoist temple, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.
Jiang Heng lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. He did not look around, nor did he observe Taiqing Saint. He only looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, without saying a word.
Saint Taiqing didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak again after Master Xuandu left.
The Taoist temple became silent, with only the mysterious Taoist rhyme flowing inside. Indistinctly, the two qi of yin and yang could be seen swirling.
I don’t know how long it took, but Saint Taiqing seemed to remember Jiang Heng’s existence and spoke again:
"Jiang Heng, co-leader of the human race, you have done very well since I preached in the human race. Do you know why I asked you to come to Taiqingjing this time?"
"Since the saint asked me to come, there must be a reason, but how can I guess the saint's thoughts?" Jiang Heng said respectfully.
Although Jiang Heng had many speculations in his mind, in front of the saint, especially in front of the Taiqing saint, Jiang Heng could naturally say as little as possible.
Talking too much is not necessarily wrong, but cherishing words like gold is definitely the safest way, especially in front of the Taiqing Saint.
Saint Taiqing smiled and said nothing, just watching Jiang Heng silently. Jiang Heng remained silent, but there was a chill in his heart unconsciously.
Saint Taiqing's gaze seemed calm, but Jiang Heng felt that all his secrets were invisible in Saint Taiqing's eyes.
"Do you know what I was doing when I preached among the human race?" After a long time, Saint Taiqing said again.
"It's to repay the cause and effect of establishing the human religion in my human race!" Jiang Heng answered honestly.
In fact, this question is not difficult. As the co-leader of the human race, Jiang Heng would be a little unreasonable if he still didn't know everything about it.
"That's right! I established a human religion among the human race, and gained boundless merit through it, and became enlightened. I have to repay the karma!
Therefore, I not only preached among the human race for thousands of years, but also accepted Xuandu as a disciple and made him the deputy leader of the human religion.
After the cause and effect is over, I will have nothing to do with the human race anymore. From now on, I will never interfere in the affairs of the human race again! "Sage Taiqing said.
Jiang Heng remained silent. What the Taiqing Sage said was indeed true, and the history of later generations has also witnessed the authenticity of these words.
While other saints were planning the destiny of the human race, only Taiqing Sage Lao Tzu did not care about worldly affairs and never participated in the struggle for the destiny of the human race.
Some people may say that Taiqing Sage established the human religion in the human race. As long as the human race is immortal, Taiqing Sage can enjoy the fate of the human race forever.
This is true, but after Taiqing Saint established the Human Religion, he simply left it alone and had no intention of developing the Human Religion.
If not, it shouldn't be difficult for Taiqing Saint's status in the human race to allow the Ren Jiao to completely take the initiative among the human race and thus completely influence the fate of the human race.
But Saint Taiqing had never planned to do this. It seemed that everything in the outside world had nothing to do with this saint. He had indeed always been quiet and inactive.
The only exception may be that he helped Yuanshi Tianzun during the Conferred God War, allowing Chan Jiao to overwhelm Jie Jiao.
Is Taiqing Saint really so quiet and inactive? Is this the reason why they still remain indifferent when the monster clan is slaughtering hundreds of millions of people?
Jiang Heng didn't know, but he knew that no matter what Saint Taiqing was thinking, it actually didn't matter to the human race.
Since the birth of the human race, it has relied on nothing but the four words "constant self-improvement" to gain a foothold in the ancient world.
No matter what kind of sufferings we go through, human beings should not seek heaven or earth, nor seek gods and Buddhas all over the sky, nor seek lofty saints.
Jiang Heng traveled through time from later generations, so he naturally knew that when hundreds of millions of people were being slaughtered by monsters, both Taiqing Saint and Nuwa Saint remained silent.
Jiang Heng actually didn't have any hatred in his heart for this. After all, the human race was created by Sage Nuwa, so we have no right to ask Sage Nuwa to do anything.
The same is true for Saint Taiqing. As he said, he and the human race are done with each other. He does not ask for anything from the human race, so naturally he will not care about the human race.
What Jiang Heng hated was those people who were originally indifferent to the human race, but when the human race was booming, they thought about coming to the human race to earn merit.
Jiang Heng was more wary of Taiqing Saint. After all, what Taiqing Sage passed down to the human race was the golden elixir cultivation method.
In fact, for the human race at that time, although the golden elixir cultivation method was not very clever, it could still be regarded as a cultivation method.
In any case, having a method is better than having no method at all. At this point, Jiang Heng actually couldn't accuse Saint Taiqing of anything.
However, what Jiang Heng was a little unsure about was whether Saint Taiqing did it casually or deliberately. The difference was huge.
Secretly thinking about the intention of Saint Taiqing's words, Jiang Heng still found nothing, and the doubts in his heart only became more.
"Thank you for the teachings of Saint Taiqing. The human race should indeed strive for self-improvement!" Jiang Heng could only nod.
"Continue to strive for self-improvement? This is a great thing to say! If the human race can keep this in mind, it will never fail to rise in the future!
You must be extremely confused in your heart as to why I asked Xuandu to invite you to come to Taiqingjing! Taiqing Saint Yi said slowly.
"Please ask Saint Taiqing for advice!" Jiang Heng said.
"Don't worry! I won't accept you as a disciple. Your way is completely different from mine, and you can't join the sect!
I asked you to come here this time because I have something to discuss with you. I hope that the Six Paths of Reincarnation can remain stable during the third war between the Liches! "
Hearing this, Jiang Heng was slightly startled. He thought about countless possibilities, but never thought that this was what Saint Taiqing was talking about.
Don't ask about the Emperor's Law of Covering Heaven created by Jiang Heng, don't talk about the human religion's preaching in the human race, and don't ask how Jiang Heng got his current strength.
Even when Jiang Heng was fighting Donghuang Taiyi, Saint Taiqing came to help, but Saint Taiqing never mentioned it.
Jiang Heng never expected that Saint Taiqing would be talking about the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Moreover, why did Taiqing Saint tell him about the Six Paths of Reincarnation?
In the prehistoric world, no one knows that the Six Paths of Reincarnation was transformed by the Houtu Ancestor Witch, and the people who manage the Six Paths of Reincarnation now are also the Witch clan.
If Saint Taiqing didn't want any accidents to happen to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he should have gone to the witch clan in the underworld, so why did he go to Jiang Heng?
Could it be that Saint Taiqing has seen that Jiang Heng is behind everything in the six paths of reincarnation?
Jiang Heng was surprised at first, and then rejected the idea. If Saint Taiqing really saw through all his plans, how could he still have a good conversation with Saint Taiqing here?
In fact, let alone Taiqing Saint, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already unleashed his thunderous wrath, turning Jiang Heng into ashes in minutes.
"Excuse my ignorance, I don't know what Saint Taiqing is referring to?" Jiang Heng calmed down and asked.
"I watched the fight between you and the disciples of the Western Sect. You did a good job. The Six Paths of Reincarnation had no chance for the Western Sect to intervene.
You can plan boldly with confidence, I can guarantee that the two saints from the West will never take action personally! "Sage Taiqing said.
Only then did Jiang Heng realize that his fight with Ksitigarbha and other Western disciples had fallen into the eyes of Saint Taiqing.
Perhaps because of this, Taiqing Sage thought that he had a close relationship with the witch clan in the underworld, and that's why he said what he just said.
Moreover, Jiang Heng also heard another meaning in the words of Sage Taiqing. Is Sage Taiqing actually disgusted with the Western religion's plan of six paths of reincarnation?
The two saints from the West will not take action personally. In other words, once the two saints from the West want to take action, the Taiqing saint will stop them?
In this way, this is naturally good news for Jiang Heng. As long as the Second Saint of the West doesn't take action personally, what does Jiang Heng have to fear?
"Reporting to Saint Taiqing, the six paths of reincarnation are extremely important to the entire ancient world, so naturally they will not be involved in the whirlpool of the Lich War!"
Jiang Heng also quickly made it clear that this was not something that Jiang Heng could influence the witch clan, but that this was something that the ancestral witches had discussed.
Under Jiang Heng's influence, the ancestral witches had long regarded the Six Paths of Reincarnation as the final foundation of the witch clan.
Once something goes wrong with the Witch Clan during the Lich War, the Six Paths of Reincarnation will become a refuge for the remaining Witch Clan, preventing the Witch Clan from being wiped out.
As for the witch clan in the six realms of reincarnation, as long as they don't seek death on their own initiative, even the law of heaven cannot drive them all away.
Therefore, there is no problem with Jiang Heng's promise to Saint Taiqing.
Saint Taiqing took a deep look at Jiang Heng and said, "I hope so!"
Then, Saint Taiqing waved his hand and said: "Since nothing happens, you can return to the human race!"
Jiang Heng bowed in salute and slowly exited the Taoist temple, still thinking about the intentions of Saint Taiqing.
Master Xuandu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately greeted Jiang Heng with excitement when he saw him walking out of the Taoist temple.
"How is it? Master, are you going to accept you as a disciple?" Master Xuandu asked impatiently.
Jiang Heng shook his head and said: "Sage Taiqing asked me to come here for other things!"
Master Xuandu had a face full of pity, and even comforted Jiang Heng before sending Jiang Heng out of Taiqing Realm.
"The head of the Six Saints is indeed unfathomable!"
Jiang Heng looked back at Taiqingjing and murmured to himself.
