Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"Let's go, our mission is temporarily over, go back and sort it out and report to the headquarters."

Silently seeing Zuo Qiuming off, the older monk said to his two companions.

"I wonder if the senior will go out again?" Only the cultivator named Zuo looked a little reluctant.

Maybe he really regards this senior as his own ancestor.

"Don't worry, this is how the senior practices. How could he not come back? The senior also said that he has made a lot of gains. In addition to the actions of Lady Star Mother Yuanjun, he needs to return to the realm to report."

the older monk consoled.

"It's strange. Given his status and length of service, he shouldn't be a king. What's the reason?" The middle-aged man among the three changed the subject.

This was something he was very puzzled about, and the Confucian school was also very surprised.

It is really hard to imagine that such a sage of history is only at the level of a king, not to mention that he was from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

"I don't understand either!" said the older one.

"It may be due to its popularity and reputation." said the monk surnamed Zuo.

"Maybe!" The two nodded. This was the only explanation.

In terms of fame, Zuo Qiuming is indeed not as famous as some great Confucian scholars and saints.

the other side.

The conquest of the Minghu area continued, and Zuo Qiuming returned to the Confucian Temple area.

"Congratulations on your return, fellow Taoist. This is cause for celebration."

Yan Hui, who was sitting in the Confucian Temple, greeted him at the door of the hall and said some incomprehensible words.

“No, no, I have made some progress, but I am still far behind you, the Venerable.” Zuo Qiuming bowed.

"You are too modest, fellow Daoist. Your step from the king level to the venerable level is truly groundbreaking. It not only points out the direction, but also inspires those who come after you. Moreover, this is before you are born. Even if several venerable masters are here, they would like to thank you for your achievement and for carrying on the tradition and taking a legendary step."

Yan Hui said solemnly.

The meaning of the words is very clear, Zuo Qiuming deserves his praise.

The reason is that Zuo Qiuming's essence has entered the level of a fifth-order Venerable.

Currently, only the sacred ones in the Confucian Temple realm know about this news, but the extent of the shock was such that several lords were surprised.

The reason why the Confucian Temple Realm is the top-level realm is that there are three at the level of the Honored Lord, that is, the sixth level.

They are Duke of Zhou, Confucius and Mencius.

Moreover, Duke Zhou and Confucius are not just ordinary sixth-level people, but have reached the level of Ultimate Lord.

The depth of its cultural heritage can only be compared to that of the Martial Temple.

There are also three sixth-level masters in the Temple of Martial Arts, namely Jiang Shang, Sun Tzu and Wu Qi.

And there are several supreme beings, that is, there are many extreme masters. In terms of quantity, there are more than the Confucian Temple realm.

Of course, at present, the most powerful realms are the Wenwu Temple.

The other realms or religions are also very strong, but they are a bit scattered. When combined, they can be compared with the realms of the two temples of Wen and Wu, but they cannot be compared with any one alone.

The stronger the realm, the stronger the sacredness within it. Therefore, in terms of realms, it is better to have a powerful realm that is combined together than to have multiple scattered top-level realms.

What is dispersed is quantity, what is gathered is quality.

The realm is a small world in the big world. Ultimately, the realm is a special celestial body or special existence born from the world.

Realms can also grow.

Just as the main world is the great thousand world, then there must be the middle thousand worlds dependent on it, as well as the small thousand worlds, the small worlds, the glimmering worlds, the infinite worlds, the Possa worlds, and so on.

The world of realm is a world that is more closely related to the universe than other worlds that depend on the universe.

Other middle thousand worlds, small thousand worlds, etc. still have a great degree of autonomy.

For example, they are not in the same system as the main world. Some are magic, some are cultivation, some are technology, some are martial arts, some are fighting spirit, etc.

Going back to its origin, it is ultimately an extension of the main world, but with more spontaneity.

The realm is different. It is like the son of the main world itself. It seems to have fewer autonomous rules, but it also receives more support.

For other worlds, such as a world of infinite sand, it would take a long time for it to evolve into a world of faint light, and it might not even succeed. If it evolves incorrectly, it might collapse.

But the situation is different in the realm. With the guidance and supply from the main world, the speed of progress and evolution is extremely fast.

These top-level realms are no less than a small thousand worlds.

The foundation is sufficient, the energy and area are sufficient, what is lacking is nothing more than living beings and the accumulation of civilization.

Here you can see the difference.

If other worlds want to become small thousand worlds, it is not only about the accumulation of energy and size, but also about the level of civilization of the creatures within them.

There is no need to be so troublesome about the realm. With just a few civilizations or even a few living beings, one can reach the level of a small thousand worlds.

This is the treatment of the main world's own son.

If a world wants to advance and evolve, the level of civilization is very important.

The civilization here is civilization in a broad sense, not simply the civilization that humans think is civilization.

Civilization has a broad meaning. As mentioned before, the first writing, the first thinking, the first supernatural law, the birth of the first living creature, etc. are all civilizations.

Are there any disadvantages to the realm?

Of course there is. It is difficult for creatures in the realm to make progress, and this is the disadvantage.

Still a big disadvantage.

The small world, and even the small thousand worlds, already have their own evolutionary path. They are indeed not the biological sons, but because they are not the biological sons, they are self-reliant.

This is one of the shortcomings of the realm, and it is also the reason why many realms wanted to keep humans in captivity in the past.

It is because they have no civilization of their own and are entirely dependent on their mother's milk, and cannot grow on their own like the Small Thousand World does in a short period of time.

Reading this together, combined with the previous description of the realm, this is the reason for the irreconcilable contradiction between the sacredness of the realm and Xuanhuang.

There are two paths before the sacred beings in the realm. One is that they cannot make progress for a long time and need a long time to find a way to break through.

One is ready-made, harvesting the faith and incense of living beings to strengthen the realm. When the realm is strong, it can continue to enhance the sacredness in a nurturing manner.

Therefore, collecting faiths and keeping humans in captivity are all for the purpose of strengthening one's own realm, and then the realm will refute the sacred.

It is not that the gods themselves collect faith and incense to strengthen themselves, nor can they do it.

The inability to do it here does not mean that it cannot be done all the time.

But it is impossible to do it in a short period of time, and it is impossible to create a method for refining, absorbing faith and strengthening oneself in a short period of time.

Moreover, what you refine and absorb by yourself, how can you get the essence of purification and refinement fed back by the realm consciousness after absorption?

The essential difference.

Why did the abilities displayed after reaching the third level of Xuanhuang shock Zuo Qiuming?
He couldn't confide in the three young men who were guarding the Confucian school. After all, even if he did, they wouldn't understand.

But when he described it to Yan Hui, Yan Hui, the supreme leader, was so shocked that he realized he truly understood Zuo Qiuming.

"The third level is also invincible?!" Yan Hui asked in surprise.

This news was obviously more shocking than Zuo Qiuming's essence entering the fifth-level Venerable. It was also because when Zuo Qiuming came back, he did not rush to say how he entered the fifth level, nor did he say that Xingmu Yuanjun could break the realm, but first talked about the reason why Xuanhuang Taoist's third-level invincible method.

“Yes, I can be sure that I can simply replace a part of the Heavenly Dao. Although this is not something that the third-level invincible method can do, if you want to do this, you must use the third-level invincible method, otherwise you can’t control it.” Zuo Qiuming said.

The reason why the two were so shocked.

You can understand it by combining it with the previous text.

Taoism, Taoism, and Taoism.

The advantages of the sacredness of the realm have been mentioned before, and the advantages of the realm have also been mentioned, the treatment of one's own son.

But the disadvantage is that it does not have its own circulated civilization, which means that before the civilization is formed, it is difficult to practice and improve on its own, and it can only rely on the feedback from the realm.

Don’t be surprised. For such a powerful being, is it so difficult to create a law?

Strictly speaking it's difficult.

The difficulty here does not mean that it is difficult for a sixth-level Venerable to create a first-, second-, or third-level method.

But it is difficult to create a method that suits your own realm.

Not to mention, what’s the use of something that suits your level?

If you want to make progress, you need to create a higher level of Dharma and surpass your own level.

This is where it gets tough.

Even in their opinion, it is a place that is difficult to achieve in a lifetime.

Xuan Huang's superego is far from as simple as imagined.

This kind of ability can only be possessed by those who have reached the Daluo level.

"How could he do that? Did he really find an invincible method that suits him from Guixu Heaven? Is he really a Guixu creature reincarnated into the human world?" Even the supreme Yan Hui was shaken.

The one who shook Xuanhuang was not a human, but the reincarnation of a powerful being, a powerful being who came from the mysterious Guixu Heaven.

"This? I don't know!" Zuo Qiuming didn't understand either.

"Tell me, does he have a fourth-level invincible spell, a fifth-level invincible spell, or even a sixth-level or...well, a seventh-level invincible spell should not exist. Do you think he has a sixth-level invincible spell?" Yan Hui said.

"Your Excellency, I don't know!" Zuo Qiuming smiled bitterly. What kind of question was this?

Just know it yourself.

Of course, he did not look down on Venerable Yan Hui. If he heard such news, he would also lose his composure.

However, one thing needs to be noted, as the two chatted, they tended to believe that Xuan Huang was lucky enough to obtain the high-level Dharma, rather than creating it himself.

Because what Taoist Xuanhuang realized doesn’t make sense, at least it doesn’t make sense in their cognition.

"Hey, look at what I'm asking, it would be nice if you knew." Yan Hui immediately calmed down. He added, "No wonder you came back and told me this news, this is indeed more miraculous than your entry into the fifth level of essence."

"Yes." Zuo Qiuming nodded in agreement.

The essence of his entry into the fifth stage was due to his records, which formed a civilization-like accumulation. This accumulation nourished the consciousness of the Confucian Temple realm, and the Confucian Temple realm was improved. Then the Confucian Temple realm gave feedback to Zuo Qiuming, improving his essence and allowing him to enter the fifth stage.

It still belongs to the first path, strengthening the mother realm and obtaining feedback from the mother realm.

It is not that I created the path of cultivation on my own.

It will become clear why he gave the book to the storyteller if you put it into context.

He needs more people to explore the way forward, and more people to unite to try and error, explore, etc.

"You said that Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang has acquired some of the power of the Heavenly Dao. Doesn't that mean that within his domain, the prerequisites for cultivation can be created?"

Coincidentally, Yan Hui also thought of this. It can only be said that masters have good vision.

"Venerable, I have been experimenting with giving Tao books to some special people." Zuo Qiuming was very happy, and he looked as if he understood my satisfaction.

"Well, that's good. At least we can gain experience, right?"

Yan Hui responded: "Speaking of this, I am reminded of Lü Dongbin, a Taoist genius who also did the same experiment as you."

"Venerable, to be honest, the reason why I gave the book to you was, firstly, because of you, Daoist Xuan Huang, and secondly, I was inspired by you."

Zuo Qiuming did not hide anything and told the truth.

Admit that his ideas were inspired by Lu Dongbin.

The sword art left by Lu Dongbin is actually of the same nature as the book given by Zuo Qiuming, which is enlightenment, overview and analysis.

It is not a complete sword practice.

"This person is very talented. Maybe he can improve like you." Yan Hui thought thoughtfully.

"Huh? Really! If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of it."

Zuo Qiuming said this, but he did not show any disappointment at all and obviously did not care.

So what if I lose the title of being the first one to be promoted? Does it matter?
"It's just a guess. It doesn't mean that he can improve his essence like you just because he takes the lead. Maybe he just grows but his essence is not improved. The gift book is not the key to your improvement. The record of civilization is."

Yan Hui said in a comforting manner.

It cannot be said that there is no reason. Lu Dongbin left a pilot project before Zuo Qiuming, but he did not necessarily receive enough feedback and his essence was improved.

Zuo Qiuming's essential improvement is due to the fact that he is already strong enough, the existence of the ultimate king.

The second is to record civilization and the demise of the first realm, and the third is to give away books.

It can be said that giving books as gifts is the next best thing.

"It doesn't matter. I don't compare myself with others. I just compare myself with myself. Haha!" Zuo Qiuming.

"Well, it's right to think so." Yan Hui appreciated this attitude.

He added: "It's a pity that the realm has its shortcomings after all. Otherwise, I would have comprehended the heaven and earth and explored the creation method from now on, so that I would have accumulated some experience when I was born in the future."

This is the second disadvantage of the realm.

Or in other words, as mentioned earlier, the lack of civilization accumulation is a defect.

Because it was nurtured by the main world itself, although it avoids the long years of accumulation like the dependent world, it also lacks the civilization sedimentation of the creatures within it.

As a result, there is no Heavenly Dao in this realm. If there is, it is the same as the main world and is currently in the process of transformation, filled with distorted and broken Heaven's will.

This kind of thing cannot be understood or referenced, and cannot be learned from the heaven and earth.

In addition, there is no accumulation of its own. It is bred by the realm, which is equivalent to being printed, so it is impossible to comprehend the heaven and earth, and unable to create the law.

We can see that the three demons in the Abyss World are creating laws of an experimental nature, but you have never heard of the sacred creation of laws in the realm, right?

Because it is impossible to do so. The conditions for creating laws are not met.

If you want to create a law, wait until it is completely conceived and born, the advancement of the Way of Heaven is completed, and the world returns to normal.

The seed of Lu Dongbin's swordsmanship was mentioned earlier in Zuo Qiuming's "Book of Entering the Tao". It is an overview and a seed, which is personal understanding and analysis.

And you can only learn it within the Xuanhuang realm. You cannot learn it if you walk out of the place where Xuanhuang can suppress your soul.

Of course, the three fundamental laws can also be used as the basis, and can also be suppressed and covered by Xuanhuang's soul.

Xuanhuang is the hotbed for the creation of laws. Only here can it be realized, at least for now.
