Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 760: Avenue of Equality
Do I have no respect for the imperial power?
Hearing this, Chen Yun finally understood what Ziqi Star Lord had just done. It turned out that he was using his power to suppress others.

In ancient China, although imperial power was often constrained and restricted by bureaucratic landlord groups in reality, it was supreme in theory.

How do the two sentences go?

The imperial power is greater than heaven.

If the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die.

Therefore, under the imperial power, no one can act presumptuously and must submit obediently.

For example, when Wu Cheng'en wrote Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was plotted against by the Silver-Horned Boy. The first mountain that came down was Mount Sumeru, which represented Buddhism. But he just put Mount Sumeru on his left shoulder and joked with a smile. Then the Silver-Horned Boy brought Mount Emei, which represented Taoism. Sun Wukong was still fine and even put Mount Emei on his right shoulder and walked briskly. However, when the third Mount Tai came down, he immediately "saw the three corpse gods and his seven orifices spewed blood."

why?
Because Mount Tai represents the supreme imperial power!
Just imagine, Sun Wukong, who is lawless and fearless of Buddhism and Taoism in the novel, is still overwhelmed by imperial power when described. It is conceivable what the imperial power was like in ancient society.

Indeed, under normal circumstances, anyone facing the imperial aura of all the heavens and worlds gathered by the Purple Qi Star Lord would have to kneel down and submit.

Unfortunately, the target of his "imperial power suppression" this time was Chen Yun.

For someone who has grown up in modern society for more than twenty years, the idea of ​​"getting up" has long been deeply rooted.

The two words "get up" are the two greatest words Chen Yun has ever felt!

Perhaps it was precisely because he understood that the other party was using "imperial power to suppress" that Chen Yun thought back to the word "rise up".

For a moment, he felt inexplicably clear-headed.

A transcendent state of mind was rising, causing his momentum to surge.

boom!
A burst of red light shot up into the sky, bursting out from Chen Yun's huge body.

The whole world seemed to have turned into bright red at this moment.

Chen Yun raised his head slightly, and a brilliant golden light burst out from his facial features, like the gold of a five-pointed star!

At this moment, his momentum not only ignored the imperial power, but even formed a counter-suppression.

Chen Yun looked at him with his eyes shining with golden light, and snorted coldly, "Get up!"

As soon as these words were spoken, red light burst out and golden light gathered.

The whole world seemed to have turned into a red rooster.

Wherever red goes, everything bound by imperial power becomes equal!
An inexplicable pressure descended, causing Ziqi Star Lord, who was in the bright yellow light and transformed into the true body of the emperor, to scream in pain.

It turned out that at this moment, Chen Yun suddenly felt the "Avenue of Equality" flash before his eyes.

This great path is exactly one of the core ideas of Taoism.

Among the various schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, only Taoism held a unique view.

According to the concept of "Tao" established by Laozi, "Tao" treats all things equally;
Taoists also believe that humans are just ordinary members of the universe and are not superior to other creatures.

Therefore, man is not the center of the universe, and man and all things are equal.

The Taoist view of the equality of all things forms a sharp contrast with the Confucian idea that man is superior to all things. It reflects the different positions of man between heaven and earth in Confucianism and Taoism, and sets off the two different attitudes of ancient Chinese philosophy in dealing with the relationship between man and nature.

Although Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, seldom directly discussed the attitude people should have towards all things in nature, based on his definition of the nature of "Tao" and the basic Taoist principle of "Tao follows nature", all things are equal before "Tao" and people are not superior to all things.

It should be said that Lao Tzu's theory of Taoism set the tone for Taoism in dealing with the relationship between man and all things.

According to the naturalistic principles established by Lao Tzu, the emergence of Zhuangzi's brilliant idea of ​​"viewing things from the perspective of Tao, there is no noble or humble thing" was a natural outcome and a logical extension of Lao Tzu's principle of "Tao follows nature".

Now, in the midst of imperial suppression, Chen Yun recalled the two great words "rise up", connected to the "Great Way of Equality", and indirectly touched the core of "Tao".

At this moment, his realm skyrocketed and reached a very high level.

As his realm improved significantly, Chen Yun naturally used the power of "The Avenue of Equality".

The power of the Tao is the root of all things.

No matter how boundless your magical powers are or how great your supernatural abilities are, as long as you have not attained Daluo, you will be governed by the power of the Tao!

"stand up!"

"stand up!"

"stand up!"

Magnificent and majestic shouts echoed endlessly.

This sound of “rise up”, with the blessing of the power of “The Avenue of Equality”, seems so solemn and sacred!
Ziqi Star Lord was suppressed by the power of the Great Dao. His muscles, skin, and bones were all broken layer by layer, and the dragon robe on his body was also shattered.

Although this coercive force of the Great Dao was extremely powerful and had impacted the Purple Qi Star Lord, who was in the late Heavenly Immortal Realm and had touched the Half-Step Daluo realm, without any ability to fight back, it did not harm anything except the Purple Qi Star Lord.

It seems that it is "locked".

Yes, the power of "Equality Avenue" has a built-in locking function, and it only targets "power".

If the Purple Qi Star Lord gave up his "imperial power" at this moment and faced all things with an "equal" attitude, he would be able to stop urging immediately.

It's just that as Tianyi Ziqi, he is regarded as a symbol of dignity and power, so he has such powerful divine power today.

If he were to give up the idea of ​​the symbol of power at this moment, his heart of Tao would be shattered!
On the one hand, the heart of Tao is broken.

On the other hand, if you persist, there is a high possibility that all traces of your existence will be wiped out by the power of the Tao.

It seems that there is no choice.

Ziqi Star Lord was still struggling to hold on, but his body and soul were disintegrating more and more, and it seemed that they could be annihilated at any time.

Although the opponent was obviously extremely dangerous, Chen Yun, who had an absolute advantage, became nervous.

He was nervous not because he was afraid that Ziqi Star Lord would be wiped out by the power of the Great Dao he exerted, but because he was afraid that the other party would really be able to hold on and thus sense the "Great Dao of Power."

If Ziqi Star Lord can really persist until he comprehends the "Great Way of Power", then he will break through to the Half-Step Daluo level in a very short period of time, and may even be able to attain Daluo.

In fact, this is not the most important thing.

After all, we are fighting now, and what happens in the future has nothing to do with it.

The most important thing is that once Ziqi Star Lord realizes the "Great Way of Power", he will have the ability to compete with the "Great Way of Equality".

Therefore, Chen Yun was very nervous, fearing that the other party would be able to sense it.

The power of "Equality Avenue" is still suppressing "power" fiercely.

The Purple Qi Star Lord was suppressed from the sky to the shattered earth by this bright red and golden power of the Great Dao.

His originally extremely proud head also lowered under the power of the Tao, and he even bent his knees and knelt down.

Pfft!
Ziqi Star Lord fell to his knees, he was forced to surrender!

The tension on Chen Yun's face disappeared and he couldn't help but shook his head.

It’s a pity that the Purple Qi Star Lord still surrendered at the most critical moment.

I'm afraid he will never be able to achieve "power" again in his life.

If you just have no chance of reaching the "road to power", it's actually just a small matter.

After all, the Three Thousand Great Daos are just virtual references. As long as one has enough understanding, one may be able to comprehend other great Daos.

Ziqi Star Lord's kneeling was equivalent to abandoning his "original intention" in order to survive, and his heart of Taoism was broken!
Tao heart is a necessary condition for those who practice Taoism.

If one's heart of Taoism is shattered, at best one may go astray and suffer a great decline in cultivation, at worst one may be reduced to ashes!

The moment Ziqi Star Lord knelt down, it represented that "power" lost to "equality".

It is precisely because of the willing submission of "power" that the power of "equality" naturally dissipated at this time.

Ziqi Star Lord finally managed to escape.

Even so, he was still covered with scars from the impact of the power of "The Avenue of Equality", and looked like neither a human nor a ghost.

The injuries caused by the impact of the power of the Great Dao cannot be healed unless they are repaired by the power of another Great Dao. Obviously, the moment Ziqi Xingjun knelt down, it was impossible for him to feel another Great Dao, and the injuries on his body would accompany him for the rest of his life.

Chen Yun looked at Ziqi Star Lord, whose half head was exposed with white bones, and for a moment he did not have the slightest thought of humiliating him.

The other party's spiritual heart is broken, what humiliation can compare to this?

He sighed softly, "Xingjun, you are defeated."

"I lost? Haha! I lost?"

Ziqi Star Lord fell into a state of obsession.

Purple smoke billowed out of his body, just like the smoke from a big fire, which seemed particularly strange. "What are you talking about? I feel a surge of power now, more than ten times that of before, and you actually said that I... lost?"

Chen Yun looked at him with pity in his eyes and warned him, "You have gone astray. If you don't repair your Dao heart, you may fall into the boundless devil's way. I advise you to go back to meditation and restore your Dao heart as soon as possible."

"You're scared! Haha, haha!" Ziqi Xingjun completely lost his mind because of being possessed by the devil. He became particularly crazy. He laughed crazily and pointed a finger at Chen Yun. His whole body was shaking from side to side. "You're scared! You're scared of me! Haha, hahahaha!"

As he laughed wildly, the purple smoke rushing out of his body became more and more violent.

The purple smoke rolled and filled the entire world where the Nine-Curve Pearl evolved, forming the shadow of a golem that was purple to black.

It can be seen that the state of Ziqi Star Lord's obsession is probably the worst one.

Chen Yun sighed again, "No matter what you say, you have indeed lost this battle. I will take my leave now. I hope the Four Saints of the North Pole will save your life."

After saying that, he was about to put away Pangu's fifth transformation and leave.

Unexpectedly, Ziqi Star Lord became so crazy that his madness was beyond compare.

As soon as he saw Chen Yun was about to leave, he immediately shouted, "Chen Pu, don't run away! I will fight you to the death today!"

As he shouted, true fire erupted from his mouth and merged into the endless purple smoke.

For a moment, the entire world evolved from the Nine-Curve Pearl was filled with blazing fire and billowing purple smoke, which was shocking to the eyes.

Chen Yun felt a huge threat and quickly stabilized his innate Taoist Qi, but did not end Pangu's true body.

As expected, the true fire and purple smoke merged and mixed together, faintly forming a huge demon god that was no less huge than Chen Yun's fifth transformation of Pangu's true body.

This huge demon looks ferocious and vicious, just like a yaksha.

The moment the demon god appeared, the body of Purple Qi Star Lord fell apart and turned into purple qi, which instantly merged into it.

The whole world suddenly shook.

Immediately, the demon god that was originally a phantom suddenly became real.

The demon god slowly opened his eyes, and a bright light flashed across the pitch-dark night sky, bringing endless chill to people.

It shook its body slightly, and the whole world shook violently, and the stars in the sky shattered layer by layer.

The terrifying power is fully displayed!
When a person is possessed, his or her power will increase briefly and horribly.

Ziqi Star Lord is in this exact situation now. Because he has gone astray, his power has risen to an unbelievable level.

It can be said that the power of Ziqi Star Lord at this moment is perhaps no less powerful than that of Chen Yun who has manifested the fifth transformation of Pangu's true body.

Such a powerful force is enough to make everyone change color.

Not only did Chen Yun's expression not change, he even showed more sympathy.

He knew that after this brief surge in power, Ziqi Star Lord's cultivation realm would drop rapidly, and he would become weaker and weaker, and eventually he might even be destroyed both physically and spiritually, and his life, which relied on the power of the law, would also be wiped out.

"Who lost? Who lost?" The demon god screamed hysterically, "Chen Pu, please tell me, who lost?"

A gust of air like a nebula storm gushed out of the demon's mouth and attacked Chen Yun violently.

Chen Yun's hair and beard suddenly shone like stars, and the boundless starlight filled the air, suddenly dissipating the gust of air.

He originally wanted to leave and let the Four Saints of the North Pole come to rescue Ziqi Star Lord, but looking at the current situation, he might not be able to leave if he didn't subdue the other party.

Chen Yun sneered and said, "Why, Xingjun can't afford to lose?"

These words completely enraged the irrational Ziqi Star Lord.

He was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped into a rage, the five spirits rose into the sky, the two suns were on fire and smoke came out of his seven orifices.

This is not a description, but the reality!

"I want you to die!"

The demon god transformed by the Purple Qi Star Lord suddenly collapsed and turned into a huge purple smoke storm as big as a galaxy, which swept towards Chen Yun with devastating power.

The power of the purple smoke was extremely astonishing. Wherever it went, whether it was the broken earth or the cracked sky, everything was shattered.

The whole world collapsed into nothingness, only the purple smoke wave was still rolling, vowing to crush Chen Yun into dust with an unmatched attitude.

This power is so terrifying that it seems to crush the heavens and the world.

Logically speaking, with such terrifying power, even someone as strong as Chen Yun who had manifested the fifth transformation of Pangu's true body would have to temporarily avoid the edge, but he didn't.

The reason why he did not dodge was because Chen Yun knew that Ziqi Star Lord's power had increased dramatically due to being possessed by the devil, but his application of laws and power had fallen to a low point.

Without hesitation, he extended his right hand and performed the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth from the "Divine Tiger Technique".

Suddenly, five different brilliant lights shone from Chen Yun's right hand.

These five rays of light are like five fingers, yet they are so big that they seem boundless.

Chen Yun slammed his right hand down hard, dispersing all the purple smoke at once, and grabbed the Purple Qi Star Lord who had merged into it into his palm.

Purple Qi Star Lord roared angrily, "Kill me if you have the guts!"

"I won't kill you and dirty my hands."

Chen Yun responded contemptuously, then flipped his palm downwards and used the power of the five elements to suppress it.

He performed "Finger Transformation", one of the 72 Earthly Fiends, and transformed his five fingers into a huge sacred mountain with the attributes of the five elements.

The five-colored sacred mountain continued to smash down.

Perhaps it has traveled across a distance of billions of light years.

It may also be that heaven and earth overlap in just a moment.

This sacred mountain suppressed the Purple Qi Star Lord and he left the Nine-Curve Pearl World and came out.

Boom!

There was a loud bang in the real world.

It turned out that the Five Elements Divine Mountain that Chen Yun had pointed out had fallen to the ground, completely merged with the earth, and suppressed the Purple Qi Star Lord!

When he was suppressed, Ziqi Xingjun seemed to suddenly regain some sanity, and shouted loudly to Chen Yun, who had just regained his human form and came out of the Jiuquzhu world, "Why don't you kill me?"

Chen Yun stepped on the auspicious cloud, put his hands behind his back and said, "I pity you."

After saying that, he floated onto the back of the unicorn.

The unicorn golden beast is about to return.

Ziqi Xingjun suddenly asked again: "What unique skill did you use to suppress me?"

"Dragon Slaying Technique." Chen Yun said lightly, "This is what my mentor taught me. Please teach me, Star Lord!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the unicorn-shaped golden beast turned into a golden light and disappeared.

Dragon slaying technique?
Taught by Zhongli Quan?
Purple Qi Star Lord was startled, and became crazy again, "Haha, haha, it turns out that I can't even beat Zhongli Quan's disciples. I even said I would teach his disciples a lesson for him. How ridiculous! I am really a huge joke!"
