Practice begins with using the Six Dings and Six Jias

Has Heaven intervened?
Xu Qing suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the surging, pouring power of the Heavenly Dao.

Is this the opportune moment that Heaven speaks of?
Xu Qing's gaze shifted, looking at the eyes in the center of the hands emerging from the flesh, and at the "doors" within those eyes!
What lies behind that "door"?
Is the Heavenly Dao of this world coming from behind the door?
The so-called opportune moment is not when the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster falls into some kind of crisis, but when this "door" appears.
Is the Heavenly Dao of this world eyeing this "gate"?
When dealing with the Heavenly Dao of this world.

Xu Qing had a vague feeling that the Heavenly Dao of this world was hiding something from him.

In the matter of confronting the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster, the Heavenly Dao of this world is not entirely concerned with its own survival, but also has its own plans.

This feeling came without any basis, but Xu Qing simply had this feeling and was inexplicably firm in it.

Xu Qing pondered why she had this feeling and when it arose.

The final conclusion was that it occurred when one embarked on the path of cause and effect.

On the path of cause and effect, it was as if someone was constantly giving him psychological suggestions, making him doubt the natural order of this world.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing's gaze suddenly turned fierce.

Once he embarked on the path of cause and effect, the one who guided him all along was himself!

It is the causal line that could potentially be defeated by the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster.

so
In that timeline where the "cause" was defeated by the creation of the causal monster, wasn't the Heavenly Dao of this world on their side?
Or rather, it was never on their side; it had its own agenda.

The "cause" behind this scheme, which involves conflict with the beings of this world and the creation of causal monsters, overlaps on a certain level.

Xu Qing gritted his back teeth.

Sure enough, when the Heavenly Dao gained its own consciousness, it was the moment when its own desires arose, which is when it acquired the concept of "selfishness".

The Way of Heaven is supposed to exist in this world to maintain its operation, devoid of emotion, and simply handles things according to certain logic and procedures.

Now that the Heavenly Dao has developed its own consciousness and ideas, its perspective has shifted from the world to itself.

Furthermore, a thought struck Xu Qing—

Was the same true of Master Xuanzhen?
Is he aligned with the Heavenly Dao of this world?

Or were they deceived by the Heavenly Dao of this world?
Or perhaps they did not stand with the Heavenly Dao of this world, nor were they deceived by it; rather, they were in a cooperative relationship, cooperating for their own interests.

Regardless of their relationship, Xu Qing now finds it difficult to regard Ancestor Xuanzhen as someone on the same side as him.

This is the only way to assume the worst-case scenario; otherwise, leaving room for maneuver will only harm yourself in the end.

The Taoist Qingxu and Venerable Guangyin, who were standing to Xu Qing's left, seemed to have also thought of this, and their expressions changed somewhat.

"Heaven's will... what should we do now?"

"Let's wait and see." Xu Qing wanted to know what exactly was going on with those "doors" in those eyes.

Since the Heavenly Dao of this world is very likely aimed at the "Gate," it must have some understanding of the "Gate."

"If the Heavenly Dao falls into decline, then we will step in to help the Heavenly Dao."

Hearing Xu Qing say this, Qingxu Daoist and Guangyin Venerable breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xu Qing's actions were perfectly justifiable.

After all, no matter how much the Heavenly Dao of this world has its own plans, its interests largely overlap with those of these living beings.

The "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster has the fundamental purpose of creating an eternal illusion without death.

This eternal dream can be said to be naturally opposed to the beings of this era.

Without death, everything would change. For example, the birth, aging, illness, and death of mortals would be the norm. Without death, the need for generational succession would be minimized, and the concept of family would likely eventually collapse.

At the same time, there is no death, there is new life, and there is no new life. The two paths may lead to different outcomes, but in the end, they will both lead to alienation and "death".

Without new life, the world will stagnate and become a stagnant pool;
With new life, the world may not seem like much at first, but as time goes by, it will inevitably become extremely crowded.

For the beings of this era, which is far from reaching its end, Xu Qing and Daoist Qingxu would absolutely not stand on the same side as the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster.

In particular, both Xu Qing and Daoist Qingxu knew that this eternal dream was forever just a dream and could never truly exist in this world, inevitably violating the rules governing the operation of all the heavens and myriad realms.

From a personal perspective, Xu Qing, Qingxu Daoist, and Guangyin Venerable also did not want to live in falsehood.

Dreams may be beautiful, and reality may be cruel at times, but dreams are ultimately just dreams, and reality is ultimately just reality.

Even though Venerable Guangyin desperately wanted to establish a great world of demons, reality repeatedly dealt him blows, and he never thought of dreaming about a great world of demons in his dreams.

Therefore, neither Daoist Qingxu nor Venerable Guangyin objected to Xu Qing's decision to assist the Heavenly Dao.

“Jingdu, there’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing.”

"Indeed, in any case, when faced with a choice between the evils of Heaven and the 'cause' that gives birth to the causal monster, we should choose the lesser of two evils."

Xu Qing nodded slightly.

His gaze immediately turned forward, watching the power of the Heavenly Dao pour down and collide with the palm that emerged from the flesh.

Boom! Boom! Boom!
The power of the Heavenly Dao in this world transformed into lightning, striking precisely into the eyes of those palms.

More accurately, it was the "door" that crashed into the eyes.

The divine lightning rushed into the "doors" of these eyes, attempting to break through them with brute force and enter the place on the other side of the "doors".

However, this "door" was incredibly sturdy.

Even divine lightning could not shake it in the slightest.

It was even absorbed completely by the "gate".

It seemed as if the Heavenly Dao of this world had not witnessed this scene.

Even more intense and immense Heavenly Dao power crashed down upon this world than when the "cause" that prevented the birth of the causal monster was brought forth.

Boom! Boom!
The divine lightning of divine punishment struck down on each of those eyes, drilling into the "doors" inside.

Every bolt of lightning was absorbed by the "gate".

At the same time, the hands that emerged from the flesh gave up their attempt to rush towards the altar where Xu Qing was located.

Instead, they turned and charged into the sky, into the heavens.

It's like the branches of a lush tree spreading out.

The entire sky was occupied by countless tentacles.

And then there was the densely woven net of divine lightning as punishment.

The two nets collided in mid-air, creating an unprecedented impact.

It is certain that even ordinary immortals who are drawn into this battle will only meet a tragic end, dying and disappearing from the world.

Xu Qing and the others watched coldly, without rashly intervening.

Just watch as this world struggles against the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster.

at this time.

A thunderous, frantic heartbeat echoed from within the pile of minced meat.

Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
All causes and effects froze at this moment.

Xu Qing's gaze suddenly shot over.

Suddenly, the "doors" in those eyes creaked open, revealing a narrow crack.

A chilling aura rolled in from the crack in the "door," engulfing the world like a tidal wave.

Even Xu Qing felt great terror and fear in the face of this aura.

Even the various methods previously employed by "Cause," the source of the causal monster, at most only gave Xu Qing a chilling and shivering feeling.

But it has never been like this before.

It seemed that in the face of this aura, his "Three Teachings Unified Cause and Effect Creation Demon-Slaying Immortal Scroll", the Chaos Crimson Book and the Chaos Green Lotus, which he relied on, were all powerless.

The whole thing is as insignificant as an ant or a speck of dust.

This was the first time Xu Qing had felt this way.

"Calamity! Calamity! Calamity!" The rumbling sound echoed across the sky.

The sound originated from the Heavenly Dao of this world, and it even faintly revealed a hint of surprise and excitement.

A calamity?

Xu Qing, Qingxu Daoist, Wuzhiqi, and Baxia, among other dragon descendants, all looked stunned.

A calamity of immeasurable eons?
Calamity seeped out from the cracks in the door, rippling across the heavens and earth.

Originally, Xu Qing activated the True Martial Emperor, using the Demon-Slaying Sword to split the land into two parts: one the real world and the other the causal world.

When the calamity rolled in, the real world once again shattered into endless cause and effect.

Xu Qing's expression changed drastically, and he lifted the altar wood and slammed it down hard.

Snapped! ! !
The altar formed by the cause and effect of all the heavens and myriad realms suddenly expanded.

As Xu Qing's thoughts shifted, the Chaotic Green Lotus fell into the Scripture Sail, forming a magnificent canopy.

"Baxia! Qiuniu!"

"Young Master!" Baxia, Qiuniu, and the other eight dragon descendants knew the problem.

The calamity, an immeasurable calamity, is something the Dragon Palace cannot withstand.

The eight dragon descendants, including Baxia and Qiuniu, immediately activated the Dragon Palace and descended into the altar realm.

Xu Qing's connection to the myriad realms of cause and effect was originally achieved by using the water veins of the Dragon Palace to link with the myriad realms of cause and effect.

At this moment, the Dragon Palace and the altar merged, naturally becoming one.

The power of the entire altar increased exponentially, and its stability also increased significantly.

When the Dragon Palace fell into the Altar Realm, it was also under his control.

Under his control, the water veins of the Dragon Palace continuously deepened their connection with all the heavens and myriad realms.

The altar area expanded mile by mile.

The original altar was only a few feet in circumference, but it has been continuously expanding and has transformed into a mandala city.

And it's still expanding.

At this moment, Zhenwu could feel the wailing sounds coming from the Great Wall in the North.

Grassland, which borders Guanwai and Dasheng, was the first to sense that terrifying aura.

The steppe cavalry, which was gathering a large army to launch an attack, halted their invincible momentum in a panic.

"Over there, beyond the Great Wall." The three Khans leading the group felt a chill run down their spines, and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.

A terrifying aura wafted from beyond the pass, and before it even truly descended upon this world, it nearly scared them to death.

This isn't an exaggeration; I was genuinely terrified.

If they hadn't been draining the grassland's ley lines to their limit, coupled with the Khanate's dynasty's fortune, they would likely have been scared to death the moment this aura reached them.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" One of the Khans realized that now was no longer the time to entangle himself with these seas of bitterness and causal monsters.

It's time to escape!

However, the other two Khans remained unmoved.

"What happen to you guys?"

The two Khans gave a bitter smile: "Where can we escape to?"

"The power behind this aura is something we absolutely cannot contend with."

"Then what do we do?" The Khan, who spoke first, could not hide his anxiety. "Are we just going to wait to die like this?"

"No!" The strongest of the three Khans, the Flying Eagle Khan, declared resolutely, "Continue the charge!"

"Continue the charge?!"

“That’s right, it’s all about charging!” Flying Eagle Khan nodded slightly. “We men of the grasslands will never retreat, even if it means death!”

"If we're going to die, let's die on the way to the front, not on the way to turn around and run for our lives!"

With that, the Flying Eagle Khan raised his spear high and spoke angrily.

"Keep charging! We men of the grasslands will never retreat, even if it means death!"

His roar echoed throughout the entire sky!
"charge!!!"

"charge!!!"

"charge!!!"

The roar of mountains and seas converged into rolling thunder, colliding with the impending doom of all things that came from ahead.

This is a clash between "life" and "death".

It is a clash between "annihilation" and "survival".

The Flying Eagle Khan spurred his horse, and the steed beneath him let out a long neigh, conveying a resolute determination to fight to the death.

The next moment, the steed, carrying the Flying Eagle Khan, transformed into a streak of lightning and charged out.

The two other Khans exchanged a glance.

"No wonder he's stronger than us!"

"I've always been unconvinced by him, even though he's stronger than me! But now I'm completely convinced!"

"Let's go! Let's keep charging!!!"

The other two Khans then spurred their horses and charged forward.

Behind them, thousands upon thousands of iron cavalry launched a fearless, all-or-nothing charge!

The sound of horses' hooves shook the heavens, and the mighty iron cavalry surged forward like a torrent.

"Master Jingdu! The calamity has already spread beyond the border!"

"I understand." With a thought, Xu Qing caused the entire altar to rise from the ground and transform into a ray of rainbow light, landing on the border line outside the pass.

As soon as the mandala was destroyed, it collided head-on with the calamity.

Xu Qing's gaze was solemn. He raised the altar wood and slammed it down hard!
Snapped! ! !
"All generals, listen to my command! Hold them off!"

"Yes!"

The True Martial Emperor above the altar took the lead, his vast aura soaring into the sky, and the Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand transformed into the first ray of lightning to split the heavens and earth, slashing out with a thunderous roar.

The twelve guardian deities of the Six Ding and Six Jia followed closely behind, their divine weapons flashing brightly as they unleashed their attacks simultaneously.

The patriarchs of Yuanfu Temple throughout the ages did not stand idly by; they dispersed their divine light and fell into the mandala, further enhancing its power!

However, this can only block misfortune from one direction.

Xu Qing's gaze fell on the Great Wall in the northern border.

He took out a magic talisman and dropped it into the Great Wall of the Realm.

In an instant.

Suddenly, the Wall in the North began to rumble and tremble, and its two ends began to extend outwards.

Grow bigger and bigger, filling the heavens and the earth!

In a very short time, the Northern Wall surrounded the entire area outside the pass, preventing the calamity from spreading outwards.

Boom! Boom!
The calamity crashed heavily against the Wall in the North.

The entire Wall in the North shook violently. (End of Chapter)
