I have a volume of human scriptures

Chapter 926: Preaching in a dream, condensing the fruit of the Tao (4k)

At that moment, Yu Chen suddenly realized.

——In that endless revolving lantern, he had actually examined the entire life of the King of Fengdu.

Born in a barbarian tribe, he fought and conquered all the way, and finally, together with Zhen Yuanzi and Zhang Bairen, he ended the chaotic and terrible world and established the order of the Three Realms!

And it was at the moment when Emperor Fengdu completely became the Lord of the Underworld that the long and magnificent revolving lantern came to an abrupt end.

With endless unsatisfied feelings, the familiar feeling of dizziness came again. After everything around him became clear again, Yu Chen returned to the room of the Zhulong Hall in Zhongshan.

Emotions were surging in his eyes and it took a long time for him to calm down.

After a long time, he let out a long breath and calmed his inner excitement.

Then...his brows furrowed slightly.

Gone?

Is this gone?

Could it be that after completing Zhu Longzi's second-level ambition, the reward given to him by the Sutra of Salvation is... to let him watch the entire life of the King of Fengdu?
isn't it?
But when he took out the Sutra of Saving People, the obscure black volume no longer made any unusual movements, nor did it show any miraculous signs.

Yu Chen frowned.

According to the nature of the Sutra of Deliverance, it is definitely impossible for him to just read the life of King Fengdu and be done with it.

There must be some mystery behind this.

It's just that he can't find it now.

Thinking of this, I felt upset, but I had no mood to sleep or meditate, so I simply packed up, stood up, and went out for a walk.

Unconsciously, they reached the top of Tianshan Mountain late at night. Although there is no concept of time in the chaotic sea of ​​time and space, and naturally there is no distinction between day and night, Zhongshan is the place where Zhulong's divine power is concentrated. Now that Zhulong has regained control of Zhongshan, it naturally brings about the day and night celestial phenomena and the changes of the four seasons.

Under the vast night sky, Zhongshan Mountain was still covered in ice and snow, and the wind was bitingly cold.

Zhulong transformed into a human body, sitting on the throne on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes, wondering what he was thinking - completely different from the decisive and fierce being who had recaptured Zhongshan Mountain during the day.

As a person of heavenly realm, he naturally noticed Yu Chen's arrival. A glimmer of light appeared in his eyes. He stood up and bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

With a random wave of his hand, the snow and wind came in, rolled and solidified, and turned into a large ice chair, inviting Yu Chen to sit down.

The latter was not polite either. He sat down and waved his hand: "I never thought that one day we would have such a calm conversation."

Ever since the incident with the Blood Anaconda family, Yu Chen thought that the Zhulong family would fight him to the death.

But unexpectedly, fate played a trick on him. By accident, he actually saved the entire Zhulong lineage and even saved Zhulong himself.

"Yes..." Zhulong let out a long breath, and his majestic figure became hunched. "Fate is unpredictable. I never thought that my former 'enemy' would be the great Emperor Fengdu, who actually saved my Zhulong Zhongshan lineage..."

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed again: "Although Gu voluntarily reincarnated, what I said still counts - in the future, as long as your majesty's orders are different from yours, I and the Zhongshan lineage will follow your orders and repay your majesty's kindness today!"

Yu Chen looked at Zhulong and nodded slightly.

Zhulong was silent for a while, hesitating for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Seeing his expression, Yu Chen smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

The latter then bowed and said, "I see that your Majesty looks worried, but...are you worried?"

“Tsk.” Yu Chen shook his head helplessly and said, “As expected of an old monster in the Heaven Realm. I thought I had hidden myself well enough.”

Waving his hands, he continued, "There are indeed some... things that I can't figure out. For example... if you experience a dream in which you spend another person's life, what purpose might such a dream have?"

What Yu Chen was talking about was naturally the reward given by the Sutra of Salvation just now - he was able to experience the life of the King of Fengdu personally, but he felt that he had not gained anything.

When Zhulong heard this, he frowned, as if he had not expected Yu Chen to ask such a question.

After a long silence, he spoke softly, "If the illusion you are talking about is only for human beings, I don't understand it very well and it's difficult for me to give you an answer. But among bloodlines like ours, there is a lot of talk about it."

Yu Chen originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect that he actually asked something. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"

Zhulong did not keep anyone in suspense and told everyone everything he knew.

“Your Majesty, the bloodline family is different from the human way of refining qi. The power of the descendants of the bloodline family mostly comes from the inheritance of bloodline—for example, the Zhulong divine power I possess is passed down to my descendants through my bloodline.”

Zhulong continued, "But you should also be very clear about one thing - once the family's practice and realm reach a certain level, the so-called heaven and earth qi or the so-called bloodline divine power are actually no longer that important.

What is more important is - to comprehend, to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, to comprehend the changes in the laws of heaven, and finally to use these laws and changes for your own benefit. This is what you humans call the "Tao", and in our bloodline families, we call it... our innate divinity.

Just like the way of celestial phenomena that I control, it cannot be transmitted through tangible blood, but rather through a more mysterious, more magical...perception.

So the inheritance of divine power relies on the body and blood, but the inheritance of divinity relies on the "dream" - all the young people of the Zhulong family, at a certain age, will enter the illusory dream through their blood, from which they will become me, experience what I have experienced, and comprehend the way I control. Of course, how much they can endure and how much they can comprehend in the end are very different. "

After a pause, Zhulong took a deep breath and concluded: "--So the illusion you mentioned has only one function in our bloodline family, which is to pass on the divinity that can only be understood but not expressed in words. In the human world, the equivalent of 'divinity' is 'Tao fruit'."

Finally, he waved his hands, put on a layer of armor, and said, "But what I said is only for bloodline families. If I apply it to human beings, I am afraid there will be some mistakes. You just listen to it, don't take it too seriously."

After hearing this, Yu Chen nodded, his eyes flickering, as if thinking about something. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he looked at Zhulong: "You just said... Dao Fruit?"

Zhulong nodded.

"The fruit of the Tao is the perception, knowledge, understanding, and cognition of a lifetime... everything is transformed, everything is condensed, transformed into substance, and reaches the realm of the fruit of the Tao..."

Yu Chen muttered to himself, as if he had grasped something, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty?!" Zhulong frowned and called out when he saw his appearance.

"Zhulong, please stop bothering me and protect me." Yu Chen took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and his thoughts entered the inner scene of the divine vine.

At this moment, he had a guess. Perhaps the reward for the Sutra of Saving People this time was not as he had guessed before. The real reward might not be hidden in the dream, but the dream itself might be the reward?
The interior of the divine vine transformed into a vast underworld, with countless magical powers rising and falling.

Yu Chen sat cross-legged in the void with his thoughts, and scenes from the revolving lantern of the King of Fengdu that he had experienced in his dream flashed through his mind.

It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that this was not a simple "picture" nor was it the revolving lantern of ghosts that he had seen through the Sutra of Deliverance.

But... immersive.

That feeling is quite strange.

He could even feel the thoughts, ideas, emotions, and insights of the Emperor of Fengdu in those dreams...

When I first fell into the dream, I didn't care much.

Now that he had some guesses and insights in his mind, he began to savor these insights as if chewing food slowly.

Get rid of the countless distractions and memories, and only keep the perception of heaven and earth, the thinking of the world, the understanding of nature, and the exploration of "Tao"...

In the beginning, when the Great Emperor of Fengdu had not yet attained enlightenment, he saw thousands of evils in the human world, the evil of war, the evil of water and fire, the evil outside the sky, the evil of human nature… That was the prototype of the Eighteen Hells, and the source of what was later called the most cruel and terrifying place between heaven and earth.

As he completely put himself into the perspective and feelings of King Fengdu, Yu Chen once again felt deeply everything he had seen over countless years, as well as the grand ideal of creating a world where good is rewarded and evil is punished.

Later, after countless years, the King of Fengdu realized one thing - some evils can never be redeemed or repaid no matter how much torture one endures, even until death in the end.

Therefore, he believed that this "world" where good and evil are rewarded should not only restrain the living, but also punish the dead.

In addition, over the countless years, the King of Fengdu has seen more about "life and death". No matter whether one lives to be a hundred years old and dies of natural causes, or dies halfway due to natural disasters or man-made calamities, the transformation of "life" and "death" is so wonderful.

It fascinated the King of Fengdu. He was deeply involved in it, experienced life and death, and gradually used and controlled it.

After he met Zhen Yuanzi and Zhang Bairen, when the concept of the Three Realms was initially established, the idea of ​​reincarnation was first proposed by them.

Although the concept of reincarnation has always existed in the Three Realms, all things in the world are thrown into the vortex of reincarnation after death, regardless of good or evil, right or wrong. Reincarnation is completely random and depends entirely on fate.

The King of Fengdu thought that was not feasible. He believed that the right way was to pay for the sins committed during life after death.

So, from this moment on, the thoughts and insights of Emperor Fengdu gradually took shape.

——Holds life and death in his hands, controls hell, manages the underworld, and monitors the six realms of reincarnation!

During the long life of Emperor Fengdu, all important insights and all understandings of the heaven and earth were understood by Yu Chen one by one.

After he crushed it and mashed it up, he removed the dross and took out the essence, and added his own understanding of reincarnation, life and death, and cause and effect, and it became... something new.

It's like a medicine inducer.

All the insights and understandings of Emperor Fengdu turned into new things after the collision and confrontation of Yu Chen's thoughts.

That new thing is... the understanding of Tao, the understanding of life and death, the understanding of the underworld and reincarnation!
Take what you have learned in your life, what you have seen in your life, what you have thought in your life, what you have pondered in your life... crush everything again, give concreteness to the abstract and nothing things, create something out of nothing, create one out of zero, and complete the great feat of crossing the chasm between "non-existence" and "existence"!

At that moment, Yu Chen opened his eyes inside the Shentu.

In those eyes, there is an endless collision and convergence of thoughts, a fusion of countless perceptions and understandings, like an abyss with no end in sight.

Meanwhile, the real world.

The entire Zhongshan Mountain was in turmoil!
Countless members of the Zhulong clan looked up at the sky. Even though they didn't know what was going on, they inexplicably realized that something was going to happen.

The young lady with closed eyes in the Kunlun Divine Mirror raised her head with a look of astonishment.

Taotie, who was enjoying the offerings from the Zhulong lineage somewhere in Zhongshan and eating and drinking to his heart's content, was also stunned, with surprise in his eyes.

Even Zhulong on the top of Zhongshan Mountain was shocked and looked at Yu Chen in astonishment with his head lowered.

——He seemed no longer to be alone.

But... a whirlpool.

An incomparably huge and terrifying vortex. In every moment of its existence, all the Qi of heaven and earth in the entire Zhongshan Mountain seemed to be drawn by an infinite and terrifying suction force, rushing in madly!
Rumble!
A violent storm erupted in an instant with Yu Chen as the center. All the Qi of heaven and earth in the entire Zhongshan Mountain was swallowed up at a terrifying speed, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea!

Its degree of terror even exceeded the devouring that occurred when the Taoist Master Jiemie was repairing the Tianzhou!

"Your Majesty...if you swallow this again...my Zhongshan will be ruined..."

Zhulong felt extremely distressed and wanted to cry but had no tears - Zhongshan had just been drained almost dry by Tianzhou, and now it had finally recovered a little. If it were to be swallowed by Yu Chen like this, it would probably be seriously damaged.

But Zhulong couldn't stop it.

After all, the other party is the Emperor of Fengdu and the savior of the entire Zhongshan Mountain.

There is no other way. Since I cannot stop it and I don’t want Zhongshan to be destroyed, the only thing I can do is... sacrifice myself!
Just look at Zhulong taking a deep breath, his whole body shaking, and endless energy of heaven and earth bursting out from him!
He instantly replaced Zhong Shan, and all the terrifying suction force from Yu Chen came towards him!

His Candle Dragon divine power was instantly transformed into infinite heaven and earth power and poured into Yu Chen's body!

At that moment, Yu Chen's breath also surged!
The middle level of the Hedao, the upper level of the Hedao, the perfect Hedao...

——After the soul, thoughts and perceptions have been achieved, the only thing left is... the replenishment of the Qi of Heaven and Earth!

The celestial being Zhulong became the source.

As the endless energy of heaven and earth entered his body, Yu Chen's entire body was being sublimated and strengthened over and over again!
As he looked inside the divine vine, an inexplicable enlightenment arose in his heart, and he gently stretched out his hand, palm facing up.

Then, endless things gathered towards his palm!

Condensation...great creation!
