Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"The Taoist master has a treasure called the Heaven and Earth Hammer. It was forged by the Taoist master by condensing the twisted will of heaven and earth. Later, due to a chance, this Heaven and Earth Hammer gathered the will of heaven, man and earth, and evolved into the Three Treasures Hammer. It was the first place where the Taoist master tempered his own will..."

"Then it was placed in the underworld by Master Xuan. As the most precious treasure of the underworld, this hammer can not only temper the soul, but also the body. However..."

As Wei Qiancheng described, a picture slowly unfolded in front of Confucius.

"That is a place of depravity, a place full of the poison of desire. It is extremely dangerous. Junior...if you really want to refine your body, you can go to the underworld to explore...you can not only refine your body, but also your soul and will."

Wei Qiancheng told Confucius the news about the underworld.

It has been a long time since the first time they went to the underworld. A group of senior officials led by Wei Qiancheng have explored the underworld many times and have gained some understanding of it.

It can be said to be a very dangerous place, but it is also a treasure land.

As a disciple of Xuan Huang, one understands dialectics. When looking at anything, one cannot just see one side, but must look at the whole.

They have tried various methods in the underworld, but it is still a bit dangerous for them.

But no matter what, as long as you come out of the underworld, you will have made considerable progress. Your soul will be more refined and your body will also be improved to a certain extent.

Especially in terms of their belief in God, as long as they can resist temptation and corruption, they can make their hearts purer and free from dust.

Yanran has become one of their holy places for practice.

"Can I go?" Confucius was very interested.

Only in the cruelest place can one become the strongest person, he understands this truth very well.

Not to mention body training, he also attaches great importance to the tempering of the soul as mentioned by Wei Qiancheng.

Again, in terms of divine will, soul, body and so on, you can't say he is not strong, but he is really not strong.

Especially when compared with the monks, they are really weak.

If there were no real cultivators, the contrast would be less weird, but once there were cultivators as a comparison, it would appear very weak.

"Senior, you underestimate my spiritual cultivation. We have always kept in mind the concepts of teaching without discrimination and benefiting all living beings. This is true for you, the Taoist master, and me as a spiritual cultivator." Wei said sincerely.

"Good, good, good." This touched Confucius' heart.

He started the idea that everyone should be educated without distinction and that everyone should have the right to learn knowledge and be educated. This can be said to be the beginning of the nation's founding principles.

Next…

Wei Qiancheng personally took him to browse some summaries and experiences of divine cultivators on body refining.

Although Confucius wanted to refine his body, he did not start without any preparation. He also needed to learn. Only when he had accumulated enough experience to a certain level, the quantitative change would lead to a qualitative change, and then he could combine it with his own talents.

Only after conducting on-site research on the environment of the underworld and taking all factors into consideration can we move forward.

However, no matter what, the first step of his body training began.

Wei Qiancheng is very busy.

After arranging for Confucius to borrow books to read, he was visited by Wu'an Jun and others from the Wu Temple.

After all, he is the manager of the Skynet of the Kingdom of God. If the saints want to live in the Skynet of the Kingdom of God, they still have to visit the master.

Wei Qiancheng never tires of entertaining all the saints one by one, which is also a kind of practice for him.

Every time I communicate with different sacred beings, I gain unexpected rewards and have significant insights.

The harvest is still great.

The one who gained more than him was the porter.

With Xuan Huang's gift, he hurried back to the Taishan realm.

The new guard, Shi Zunzhe, is here, and the three great masters are also here, waiting for his return.

When he came back, he cried with joy and told the three lords everything. The Emperor of Fengdu, Lady Bixia and Lord Taishan were very happy.

He lamented Xuan Huang's forgiveness and also felt deeply that his own realm was wrong before.

When the porter told the three masters everything he had seen and heard, they were a little shocked.

Even though they are the Lords, there are still many people who are stronger than them. The innate treasures, Guixu Heaven and so on are all beyond their reach.

It was not just the Wenwu Temples that benefited from Xuanhuang's rise.

The Taishan realm has also seen a tremendous boost in its fortunes due to the prosperity of the human world.

So much so that Taishan Mansion Lord, the most powerful Lord in the Taishan Realm, sighed: "I used to think that we were the ultimate support for the creatures in the world, and that the world needed our salvation. Now it seems that this is not necessary. The appearance of Daoist Fellow Xuanhuang has broken this iron rule. Under his management, the world is prosperous and doing better than when we were born."

Bixia Yuanjun and Fengdu Emperor expressed their deep agreement.

It's not just better than what they did, it's much better.

Not to mention that they have not yet been born, even if the kings of the four realms can go out, the impact they can play can only be said to be minimal.

If Xuan Huang had not risen, and if all kinds of disasters such as strange things, natural disasters, and man-made disasters had not befallen the world, the world would definitely not have such a large population.

It is said that there are more than three billion humans on Blue Planet alone.

Just imagine, if Xuan Huang had not appeared, by the time they came to the world, the humans of Blue Star would be thankful if only 100 million survived.

Even if these 100 million survive, they will certainly fight and gather them after they appear.

In the process of fighting and gathering, are there any gods who really care about the life and death of these creatures?
I'm afraid not. In order to get more for themselves and to compete for incense, they will definitely fight. When gods fight, the mortals will inevitably suffer.

What's more, with the supplement of creatures from the infinitesimal world, humans on this blue planet are really dispensable.

It's not about letting them practice, they need qualifications.

Simply make them believers and provide them with faith. There is no difference whether a human being is a pure human from Blue Star or a human from a small world.

I don’t care that the humans on Blue Star have better talents.

In general, there is a high probability that the pure humans on Blue Planet will be extinct, and a group of creatures from small worlds or new species will replace the pure humans on Blue Planet.

If Xuan Huang hadn't appeared, this would have happened with a high probability.

It conforms to the law of reincarnation, the cycle of old and new, the death of the old and the existence of the new.

It is absolutely impossible to achieve such prosperity as it is today.

The three lords have broad vision and know more.

Originally, human beings were destined to disappear. They were relics of the old era. Weirdness was the protagonist, and they were second to weirdness.

Creatures from the small world continue to gather together, plus the new creatures born from heaven and earth, these are the ordinary creatures in the new era.

That's how it should be.

The appearance of Xuan Huang is like a cry to the world: Is this how it should be? Is this the case?
If there is a big villain at this time, he will ask: Do you still want to change the world?

Xuan Huang and his disciples replied: We want to give it a try.

Just give it a try, and the result will really change the world, which is the current situation. The human side, the Blue Star human side, has completely established a firm foothold, and it is difficult for any crisis to destroy them.

And the price of achieving all this seems to be that God has destined him to be the first protagonist, and that weirdness is used as the material to achieve it.

Fortunately, they appeared late and did not bring harm to mankind before Xuanhuang appeared, so they did not become the materials for building this world. It can be said that it is luck.

"Not only are they doing better than us, they are doing much better than us. Looking at this prosperous world, I can't believe that this is the world after the strange fusion of all realms and the revival. It has only been a short thirty years, and they have reached this point. I really can't imagine the future."

The most merciful Bixia Yuanjun sighed.

Mazu in the South and Bixia in the North, these two goddesses have always been the most widely believed in among the people. Because of this, their luck and incense have been very prosperous in recent years.

She felt that her birth and her personal planning were not as good as they are now.

The three honorable masters even had a mentality of just lying down, feeling that this was good enough. What was there to fight for? It would be better to be a saint and leave everything in the world to fellow Taoist Xuanhuang.

"Yes, if we were born, there would be conflicts, and the result of conflicts would be harming innocent people. I think it's good now. The human world is the human world, and the sacred is the sacred. Let's not get entangled with each other."

The Emperor of Fengdu also said.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. What we have to deal with now is the influence of Heaven and the Underworld on us. What does Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang say?" Lord Taishan turned the page.

"Reporting to your Honor, the Taoist master instructed that we should crush this jade slip at the outer edge." The porter said as he took out the jade slip.

"Then go ahead and be careful." said Lord Taishan.

"Yes!"

The extension is outside the Taishan boundary. The sacred beings at the Lord level cannot go out and can only be handed over to the porters.

The porter, carrying two tokens, first came to a dark, glowing gate at the bottom of Mount Tai.

The towering gate stands on the dark horizon like an insurmountable boundary marker. The words "Huangquan" written on it emit a cold light, as if telling of endless sorrow and desolation.

Above the door lintel, there are zigzag patterns carved, and every stroke reveals an ancient and mysterious power.

The heavy iron door was closed, and on both sides were tall stone pillars covered with traces of time. A gloomy atmosphere enveloped the surroundings, as if even the air was filled with the breath of despair.

In front of the door, a deep passage stretched into the dark unknown. The torches on both sides flickered with dark green flames, reflecting the distorted faces of the passers-by.

The occasional sobs and sighs echoed in the empty gate of hell, making the atmosphere even more solemn.

The pedestrians walked with heavy steps and empty eyes. Their shadows were stretched out in the firelight, like bodies deprived of their souls. They walked forward silently, step by step towards the bottomless darkness, letting the fear and despair in their hearts spread.

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew, and the copper ring on the door made a dull sound, as if welcoming the arrival of a new soul. The door slowly opened, revealing the dark world inside.

In front of the gate of the underworld, the boundary between life and death becomes blurred. All the living will hand over their past here and embark on the unknown and eternal journey to the underworld.

No matter who arrives here, the gate will open, and if the soul is lost, it will step through the gate and enter the underworld. What will happen after entering?

no one knows.

Countless lives have died in the world. Compared with the underworld established by Xuan Huang, it cannot be compared with here at all.

This is just one of the extensions. There is no telling how many such extensions there are in the entire Huangquantian.

The only reassuring thing is that Huangquan Extension is quieter.

Unlike the extensions of other heavens, let alone getting close to it, even if someone sees it or thinks about it, they will be led in.

The extension of Huangquan is quite different. As long as you don't step into that dark path, it is very quiet.

It just opens the door when a living being arrives, and it depends on you whether you can enter or not.

Moreover, because the Taishan Realm and the Qingyun Mountain Holy Land in the south city are very close, not many lives die here.

Therefore, the road appears less crowded.

Even if there are souls coming here, they are the souls of ordinary people. Those cultivators who did not come here after their death were all collected by Xuanhuang into the underworld.

"Snap!" The porter crushed the jade slip in fear.

This is the method that Xuanhuang Spirit conveys to him. He doesn't need to worry about anything, just crush it when he reaches the destination.

The porter did exactly what Xuan Huang said.

Crushed the jade slip.

I saw a flash of light, and the Lord of my true self slowly condensed.

It is said that there is no self in the underworld, and it is full of souls waiting for reincarnation. The Lord of the True Self expressed disbelief. How could there be no self in the underworld?
Not only should there be a self, but there should also be a true self.

He was asked to choose between the two heavenly realms, and he chose Huangquan. He let the Lord of Heaven and Earth go to Heaven, as he preferred to be here.

"Go back."

The Lord of My True Self descended and waved to the porters, indicating that the place was in my hands and they could go back.

The porter didn't waste any words. Who would want to come to a place like this unless there was something going on?
He wished he could leave as soon as possible.

After bowing to the Lord of My True Self, the porter quickly left.

"interesting!"

But the Lord of My True Self looked towards the gate of Huangquan. This gate was the strange entity of the extension of Huangquan Tube.

It can even be said that this is not weird, but the embodiment of the Yellow Springs Pipe itself in the main world.

The extensions of the eight heavenly realms all have one characteristic: if you are strong, they will be strong; if you are weak, they will be weak.

For example, if the strength of the Lord of the True Self is at level three, then the Gate of the Underworld is also at level three at this moment.

However, although this third-level creature crushed 99.9999% of creatures, it was still not as good as Xuan Huang.

Xuan Huang's strength cannot be compared with that of the third level.

"Crash!" As if walking on flat ground, the Lord of True Self slowly entered the gate of the underworld.

All the weird and mysterious powers did not cause him the slightest ripple; even the protective divine light around him could not shake it.

Entering this door means losing all memories, starting over, and everything disappearing.

But for the Lord of My True Self, it is of no use.

Even when this ability to erase became entangled with his protective light to a certain level, Huang Quan's ability to erase everything suddenly disappeared.

It's like you've used up all your strength and nothing works, so you don't continue.

But more importantly, after recognizing the true Lord of the Self, we do not erase everything of the true Lord of the Self, but open the door to welcome Him.

The Atmanirbhava feels that the latter feeling is greater than the former and is welcoming Himself.
