I have a volume of human scriptures

Chapter 876: The Way of Life and Death, the Realm of Unity (5.3k two-in-one)

Zhuque's last wish was to rescue the Emperor of the Divine Court who was trapped on the way to heaven.

But now, those countless heavenly soldiers and generals and gods in heaven were all destroyed, along with the Taoist in immortal clothes who had seized the throne of Yuanshi Daozun, who was also swallowed by the purple gold red gourd and turned into pus, deader than dead.

In this case, Emperor Shenting believed that Bairen was saved, so Suzaku's last wish was fulfilled at this moment.

Inside the divine vine, the golden light of the Sutra of Saving People shone brightly, bursting out with endless grand light, which sprinkled down and completely enveloped Yu Chen in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Chen felt that his soul had left his body, left the world, left the void, and left everything.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a long, endless river flowing. There was no beginning and no end in sight, as if it had been flowing forever.

Yu Chen, who had had several experiences, recognized it at a glance. This was the long river of time that existed in the dark. It had been winding and flowing since the beginning of the world and had gone through countless years. All the changes, stories, joys and sorrows, happiness and anger were all imprinted in it.

His soul went upstream along the long river of time and saw many past events.

The battle between heaven and man, the battle of falling heaven, the battle of chaos in the three realms… countless life and death separations, and turbulent waves all passed by his eyes.

Until finally, it stopped in the vast nothingness.

This is the beginning of everything and the end of the long river of time. It is boundless chaos and endless nothingness. It is the beginning when chaos has not yet been divided, yin and yang have not yet been formed, and earth, fire, water and wind have not yet been born.

Yu Chen was not unfamiliar with this scene. When he comprehended the method of mediating the creation, he crossed the long river of time and came to the beginning of the world. So he was not surprised or shocked. He just waited quietly, waiting for the reward of the Sutra of Saving People.

After going back in time and arriving at the time before the creation of the world, his journey finally reached its destination. An infinite and enormous suction force surged out from the chaos and sucked his soul in.

Then he heard a terrible thunder.

Boom! ! !
As the first thunder sounded between heaven and earth, the great cause of the creation of heaven and earth began.

Yu Chen once again witnessed the separation of chaos, the opposition of yin and yang, and the birth of earth, fire, water and wind.

Countless millions of years later.

Creatures began to be born.

At the beginning, they were small creatures like dots of light, without even any consciousness, but they represented the starting point of all creatures in the future. These creatures rose and fell between yin and yang, from birth to death, in just a blink of an eye, but they truly completed the evolution from birth to death.

Gradually, more lives began to be born, trees, insects, shrimps... They were born, existed, and finally died after exhausting all their vitality.

Yu Chen was like a bystander, taking in all the changes of life and death.

Life, creating something out of nothing, can be called evolution.

Death, from existence to non-existence, reduced to ashes.

At first, Yu Chen only saw this appearance.

But as the changes of life and death played out before his eyes again and again, he gradually realized that it was not that simple.

The remains of the dead creatures will be re-integrated into the world and become the starting point for the birth of new life. And these new lives will also die at some point in the future and turn into fertilizer and soil, giving birth to more new life.

All of this is like a circle, repeating itself over and over again, never ending.

In Yu Chen's eyes, this "circle" that includes all living beings between heaven and earth is divided into two parts.

Above is life, below is death.

But the strange thing is that life and death are obviously opposites, yet they are connected from beginning to end, just like yin and yang, which are obviously contradictory, yet they complement each other.

After seeing the wheel of life and death again, Yu Chen's soul became motionless like a sculpture.

The only reaction was that in those eyes, the non-existent wheel of life and death was reflected, circulating endlessly, revolving endlessly.

Somehow, his understanding of the wheel of life and death became deeper and deeper. From only seeing the surface in the beginning to gradually understanding and realizing it.

Understand the essence of life and death.

There was no time in the illusion. No one knew how long it had been. Finally, at a certain moment, Yu Chen, who had been motionless like a sculpture, suddenly moved. She raised her hands and, as if unconsciously, drew a black and white circle in the air.

His hands kept evolving, and the wheel of life and death kept turning.

The upper half is life, the lower half is death, and the cycle repeats itself endlessly.

Then his hands suddenly stopped, and the cycle of life and death also stopped.

Yu Chen, who had entered that mystical state, suddenly evolved his hands in the opposite direction.

At that moment...life and death were reversed!

It’s like time has been reversed, the dead are reborn and the living die.

And after reversing the wheel of life and death, Yu Chen heard another terrifying thunder!

Rumble!
Suddenly woke up!

Open your eyes!

At this moment, he has returned to his divine vine from the long river of time at the end of the years.

The extremely long and lonely memory seemed to vanish into thin air, without causing any harm to his soul, but vaguely, Yu Chen seemed to have understood something.

He frowned, sat down cross-legged, and then his hands began to evolve according to the remaining memories in the illusion.

In the void, a perfect circle of black and white was drawn.

The upper part of the circle represents life, full of vitality, with birds and beasts, all kinds of creatures, and endless prosperity; while the lower part of the circle represents death, with corpses scattered all over the ground, a desolate and cold scene, suffocating. Life and death keep rotating, just like reincarnation, never stopping.

Suddenly, just like in a dream, Yu Chen abruptly stopped his hand.

At that moment, the wheel of life and death stopped turning.

When he tried to reverse life and death, the wheel of life and death turned into the reverse direction, just like in the dream. From life to death, it became from death to life.

In Yu Chen's eyes, the left eye was full of vitality, while the right eye was withered and dead, losing all human emotions, as if it had turned into the laws of heaven and earth, the cycle of life and death.

Time passed little by little, but he was unaware of the passage of time.

It was not until half a day had passed on the way to heaven that the ancient god Di Ting became more and more worried. Without Yu Chen's order, he sent a thought into his divine vine.

As soon as he arrived, the ancient god showed a look of horror.

It was like seeing something great that was beyond words.

Then the horror in those eyes turned into relief.

"Your Majesty, I have realized it again..."

Just at this moment, Yu Chen put down his hands, and at that moment, the meaning of life and death in his eyes instantly disappeared, and turned back into human eyes.

"Listen?" Hearing the ancient god's sigh, he asked, "What did you say?"

“Life and death.” Di Ting’s eyes gleamed with a hint of nostalgia. He let out a long breath and said, “—or, in other words, the law of life and death.”

He then told her everything.

It is said that the Emperor of the Three Realms not only cares about the Three Realms, but also controls the heavenly way of one side.

Emperor Shenting advocates that Bairen is in charge of the heavenly way of "nothingness" and "creation", so his method of grasping the rotation of creation can create something out of nothing, evolve the heaven and earth, and control everything.

The Emperor of Fengdu, who is also the Lord of the Three Realms, controls the "life" and "death" of all living beings, and controls the great way of life and death. Turning his hand brings life, and turning his hand again brings death. The wheel of life and death that Yu Chen comprehended is the embodiment of the way of life and death.

It means that from that moment on, he is above life and death, in control of life and death, and manipulating life and death - this is also the foundation of the Fengdu Emperor, one of the emperors of the Three Realms.

After listening to the explanation of the ancient god Di Ting, Yu Chen also understood.

——After Zhuque's second-level last wish of saving the God Emperor Zhang Bairen was fulfilled, the Sutra of Salvation gave him everything that the Great Emperor of Fengdu had understood about the way of life and death before he became an enlightened being.

Let him also understand the law of life and death, and control life and death.

"I feel... quite wonderful now..." Yu Chen murmured as he was immersed in the wheel of life and death.

"More than that." Di Ting shook his head slightly and looked up at the sky. "Your Majesty, please look."

Yu Chen was startled, and raised his head. His eyes penetrated the divine vine and saw the real world. Above the sky, there were endless dense runes, surrounded by layers of magic seals, and chains made of pure Tao principles were flying all over the sky...

Everything in the world became extremely simple in his eyes.

Peel off the appearance and see the essence.

This world, this universe, is a skeleton constructed by countless rules and principles, and filled with flesh and blood called "life".

"Is this... He Dao?"

Yu Chen took a deep breath, his face filled with confusion!
Previously, he had reached the state of Heavenly Venerate perfection, so naturally he had to prepare to impact the state of He Dao.

So after some understanding, he knew the true meaning of the Hedao realm, which is... to merge into the heaven and earth with one's own way!

At the level of Tianzun, practitioners of Qi cultivation will comprehend the Tao that belongs only to them.

And to break through the threshold of the Hedao realm at the Tianzun realm is to combine their own Dao with the Dao of heaven and earth!

Be in harmony with the Way of Heaven!

From then on, the world became extremely simple in their eyes. They could see the "Tao" with their naked eyes, see clearly the "rules", and use them.

This is the state of harmony with the Tao.

"If an ordinary Tianzun Perfect Qi cultivator wants to break through, he needs to combine his own Dao with the heaven and achieve the state of harmony with the Dao." Ancient God Di Ting explained, "But your Majesty's Dao of life and death is already one of the great Daos, so how can you say you want to be in harmony with the Dao? In addition, you have already broken through to Tianzun Perfection, so it is natural for you to comprehend the Dao of life and death and achieve the state of harmony with the Dao."

Yu Chen suddenly realized and felt very happy.

But he was not happy for long.

Suddenly, his brows frowned.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Di Ting's face also darkened.

"That guy is a little... weird." Yu Chen responded, stretched out his hand to tear through the door of the void, opened the gate of hell, and came to the underworld.

On the banks of the Yellow Springs River, Zhuque had already crossed the river and gone to the Judge's Palace to be judged.

Before leaving, she asked Huang Quan to give Yu Chen a message - thank you.

After saying this, the girl Huang Quan returned to the turbid spring water.

And Yu Chen also went to the eighteen levels of hell.

The first level is the Hell of Knife Mountain.

Looking up, in the mountain of swords formed by the endless gleaming snow-white heavenly swords, countless ghosts were suffering, wailing fiercely and crying bitterly.

——When Yu Chen saw this scene for the first time, he was also shocked.

But over the years, he has gotten used to it.

His eyes swept around and finally stopped at a corner of the endless mountain of swords. A pale human-shaped ghost without facial features was in the mountain of swords, out of place compared to the suffering ghosts around it.

——He and those heavenly swords seemed to be in two different dimensions. The sword mountains in the Hell of Swords could not hurt him. He was imprisoned in the sword mountain with chains, like a sculpture.

Yu Chen naturally recognized this ghost - the Taoist Yuanshi was swallowed by the purple gold red gourd, and after turning into pus, his soul was thrown into the underworld.

In this situation where the enemy is unknown, regardless of whether he has committed any crime or not, it is naturally necessary to torture him and obtain more information.

The underworld happens to have the most severe and terrifying punishment among the three realms - the Eighteen Hells.

So he was naturally brought here.

The pale human figure without facial features in front of him is the true appearance of the culprit who seized the throne of Yuanshi Daozun.

But just as those ghost officials were sharpening their knives, they suddenly discovered that the Eighteen Hells had no effect on him.

Be it a mountain of swords, a sea of ​​fire, an oil pan, a steamer, a copper pillar, or insect bites...even the eighteenth level of the endless purgatory, they could not cause any harm to him, and naturally he did not feel any pain.

The ghost officer beside him was quite puzzled and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! It's not that we neglected our duty, it's just that this evil ghost is completely unable to bear the punishment."

Yu Chen nodded and asked questions to the ghost without facial features.

The other party didn't react at all.

Yu Chen frowned.

He knew that these Eighteen Hells were created by the Emperor of Fengdu who collected all the evil in the world. It can be said that in the three realms, all living beings, as long as they exist in the form of ghosts, cannot escape the torture of the Eighteen Hells.

——Even if they are ancient immortals, as long as their souls have not been scattered, their souls will be skinned alive when they come to the Eighteen Hells!

But the pale ghost before him, the usurper who had seized the power and throne of Yuanshi Daozun, was not affected by the Eighteen Hells at all.

Why is this?

Yu Chen asked Di Ting who was standing beside him, and even Di Ting, who was known for his profound knowledge and knowing everything, shook his head silently.

Obviously, he didn't know the reason.

After pondering for a while, Yu Chen took a deep breath and ordered the ghost catcher to imprison the pale, faceless ghost first and think of a way later.

Then, the thought returned to the body and returned to the path to heaven.

——According to Di Ting, he had realized the way of life and death, and had been on the way to heaven for half a day, and everyone was waiting for him.

After his thoughts returned, the first thing he heard was the low sobbing sound.

The atmosphere was depressing and sad.

Look around.

I saw that the six ancient races had divided into camps to rest, and many ancient creatures sat cross-legged, recovering from the injuries they had suffered before.

There were also many members of the ancient race, holding cold corpses in their arms with sad expressions - most of these corpses were the younger generation of the ancient race.

When the road to heaven was opened, many ancient races migrated here, but they did not come for fighting wars, but for returning to heaven.

Therefore, when the whole clan relocated, those younger generations who were still young and had less skills naturally followed along.

But in the previous wars with the heavenly soldiers and generals, swords and knives were merciless, water and fire were merciless, and many of these young members of the ancient races were affected and died.

They are the hope for the future of these ancient races and treasures in the hands of their parents.

Now that an innocent person has died tragically on the way to heaven, as a blood relative, it is of course hard for us to accept this.

Seeing Yu Chen waking up, Liu'er God also walked up with a corpse in his arms. Upon closer inspection, he saw that in his arms was the corpse of a handsome young monkey, which had lost all life.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." The Six-Eared God bowed. He was already pale, and now he looked even older.

Yu Chen responded and looked at the corpse in his arms. He suddenly felt familiar. Wasn't this the golden little monkey on Peach Mountain? At the flower and fruit feast, he was in Yu Chen's arms, quite clingy. At that time, he had just woken up and was still a little monkey. Now that the years have passed, he has regained his original posture and is extraordinary and heroic.

But now... dead?
"The young master has already recovered, and has restored his original realm, cultivation level, and appearance over this period of time."

The Six-eared God Venerable sighed, "He had fought before, and he didn't have to die. But in order to protect his people, he took a hit from the Fire Spear, and was pierced through the chest by the Three-eyed Divine Light, seriously wounded. Finally, he was whipped by the Divine Whip, and finally he didn't make it."

After a pause, he continued, "Young Master has always remembered Your Majesty. When I saw Your Majesty before, I wanted to greet Him, but unfortunately the situation was critical at that time..."

As he spoke, the old monkey sighed and looked sad.

Yu Chen felt sad when he saw this.

Looking behind the old monkey, the corpses of many ancient races were already cold.

But suddenly, he had an idea.

When the old monkey saw Yu Chen's expression, he comforted him: "Your Majesty, please don't be sad. The dead cannot be resurrected, and the same is true for our clan..."

After hearing this, Yu Chen shook his head and interrupted him: "Who said that?"

The old monkey was stunned, "What?"

"The dead can't be resurrected?" Yu Chen murmured: "No, the dead can be resurrected."

After hearing this, the old monkey was stunned.

Then Yu Chenshen stretched out a hand, stretched it forward, with the back of his hand facing up.

In just a moment, the old monkey saw Yu Chen's eyes suddenly become empty, losing the emotions belonging to a living being. His left eye was surrounded by boundless vitality, while his right eye was filled with endless terrifying death.

At that moment, his appearance and form clearly did not change at all.

But the feeling that the whole person gave to the old monkey god was that he had changed from a flesh-and-blood person to an indescribable great thing.

——The supreme heavenly law that controls all life and death, withering and flourishing!
hum-

Accompanied by a terrifying roar that seemed to come from a very distant place, an infinitely huge wheel of life and death was suspended above the sky!
Above is life, below is death.

"His Majesty……"

The old monkey seemed to have thought of something, his eyes showed ecstasy!

But Yu Chen ignored him and just slowly turned his hand!
In an instant, the huge wheel of life and death above the sky slowly reversed!

And along with this reversal, magical and terrifying changes occurred!
Just look at the long-cold body of the little monkey in the old monkey's arms, which is actually coming back to life bit by bit!
There is temperature!

There's a pulse!

With breathing!

When Yu Chen's hands were completely turned over and facing upwards, the eyes that had been closed forever slowly opened!

The old monkey was about to speak!
But I heard bursts of exclamations coming from behind!

Turn around and take a look!
Then the cold and hard corpses of all the dead ancient races came back to life!

Bring back to life!

Blessing the heavens!

At this moment, the Divine Emperor Zhang Bairen, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in meditation, also opened his eyes.

"Flip your hand and you will live, flip your hand and you will die..."

He looked at Yu Chen, who seemed to be the embodiment of the law of life and death, and let out a long breath.

"Fengdu, your true power has been recovered..."
