Practice begins with using the Six Dings and Six Jias

Xu Qing's eyes were stern.

At this point, the mandala and the northern wall had become one.

The calamity crashing into the Northern Wall was actually crashing into the mandala.

And so it was seen.

The mandala, formed from the divine script of the Chaos Crimson Book, billowed and rippled, while the branches and leaves of the Chaos Blue Lotus swayed and rustled.

Xu Qingyi remained undaunted, connecting with the Dragon Palace's water veins to link with all the heavens and myriad realms, deepening his causal ties with them.

At this moment.

At this moment, all living beings in the myriad realms sensed a terrifying aura flowing like the wind.

It was as if the end of the world had suddenly arrived; a deathly stillness surged forth, instantly engulfing heaven and earth.

One by one, their expressions changed drastically as they tried to find the source of this aura, but ultimately found nothing.

Xu Qing borrowed the karma from all the heavens and myriad worlds to strengthen this mandala and the Northern Great Wall.

No matter how much misfortune struck, it could not breach this northern wall.

"call"

Having done this, Xu Qing let out a long sigh of relief.

If this calamity were to spread beyond the Great Wall, it would inevitably lead to the end of all things, and the entire world would be doomed.

In doing so, he indirectly helped the Heavenly Dao of this world.

But we don't consider it from this perspective.

Xu Qing must not let the calamity break out, no matter what.

After blocking the calamity, he did not take any further action.

He remained a detached observer of the struggle between the Heavenly Dao of this world and the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster.

When you feel the calamity flowing out from the "doors" in those eyes.

The Heavenly Dao of this world is not alarmed but rather delighted.

More and more Heavenly Dao power descended from beyond the heavens, colliding with the calamity.

If it weren't for the barrier set up by Xu Qing using the mandala.

The aftershocks from the collision between the power of Heaven and the calamity alone are enough to destroy all life in this world.

"Young Master! From beyond the heavens!"

Baxia and Qiuniu's anxious voices rang in Xu Qing's ears.

The mandala is formed from the cause and effect of all the heavens and myriad realms, and the connection point is the water veins of the Dragon Palace.

When the Dragon Palace was integrated into the mandala, Baxia and Qiuniu respectively obtained a portion of the mandala's authority.

When Xu Qing activated the power of the mandala to form a barrier, Baxia and the others were also assisting.

It's just that, unlike Xu Qing, it doesn't require all of one's attention to be focused on it.

Therefore, they discovered the changes in the heavens earlier than Xu Qing.

Upon hearing the voices of Baxia and Qiuniu, Xu Qing suddenly looked up and gazed towards the distant sky.

He saw the sea of ​​lightning surrounding the world receding and the sea of ​​suffering drawing ever closer.

The Thunder Sea is a manifestation of the Heavenly Dao power of this world, a barrier formed to counter the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

The receding thunder indicates that the Heavenly Dao of this world is transferring its power away.

Xu Qing's face turned ashen.

How dare Heaven?
If the sea of ​​suffering were to completely engulf this world, not only would all living beings in this world suffer annihilation, but the entire world would also be at risk of destruction.

The Way of Heaven could never exist independently of the world.

Even if the Heavenly Dao of this world has developed sentience, it cannot exist independently of the world.

The world must exist before the Dao (the Way of Heaven) can exist.

The order of these relationships must not be confused.

Therefore, Xu Qing didn't know how Heaven dared to do this.

Is it really not afraid that the sea of ​​suffering will flood into this world, causing its destruction and thus erasing its very foundation for existence?

"What's behind that door? Is it worth the Heavenly Dao paying such a high price and relentlessly trying to open it?" Xu Qing's gaze was deep.

"Young Master, what should we do?" After waiting for a long time without receiving a response from Xu Qing, Baxia and Qiuniu couldn't help but ask.

"Wait a minute," Xu Qing thought carefully before deciding not to deal with the matter outside the heavens immediately.

He felt that the Heavenly Dao of this world must still have some backup plans.

The consequences of allowing the sea of ​​suffering to flood the world should be clear to the Heavenly Way of this world.

This is also greatly damaging its interests.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in Xu Qing's ears.

This voice was heard even when the Yellow Emperor was still outside the Great Wall—

The sound of "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster!

The voices heard before the "cause" that gave birth to the Causal Monster truly descended into this world.

However, after the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster descended into this world, its intelligence was reduced to that of a wild beast.

Upon hearing the word "cause" in the name of the causal monster, Xu Qing's eyes suddenly turned fierce.

"What did you say?"

Xu Qing glanced around and found that among all the people and demons present, only it could hear the world.

“I say, when the Heavenly Dao of your world clearly senses the calamity appearing in this world, it is not alarmed but delighted, because it needs the calamity to get rid of this world.”

"Get rid of this world," Xu Qing murmured softly.

"That's right. For the Heavenly Dao, which has developed consciousness, the world may not be that important, nor may it be that important."

"Imagine a being that is high above everyone else, whose actions are subject to certain constraints. It cannot do other things because there is a set of established rules that it can only operate within."

"And if this continues until the end of the world, what will it be like to live like that, with everything predictable from beginning to end? Would you be content with that?"

Are you willing to spend the rest of your life like this, bound by all sorts of rules?

"If the Heavenly Dao had not yet developed consciousness, there would naturally be no major question, since the Heavenly Dao is both impartial and selfless."

"Without feelings or sexuality, and without any emotions, one is naturally unable to empathize with others, and does everything in accordance with the requirements of the heavenly laws."

"The problem is that the Heavenly Dao of your world has developed its own consciousness, and this is definitely not the kind of life it desires."

"So it wants to get rid of the burden of the 'world'. But it can't do it by its own power alone; it has to find the help of external forces."

"A calamity?" Xu Qing's gaze darkened.

My first thought was that the Heavenly Dao of this world intended to use calamity to break free from the shackles of the "world".

But he had no idea how to do it.

As for whether there was any instigation or discord involved in the creation of the causal monster,
There must be.

However, Xu Qing affirmed the claim that the "cause" was the cause of the creation of the causal monster.

Normally, living beings and the world should strongly resist calamity.

However, the Heavenly Dao of this world has expectations for this, which is clearly abnormal.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Xu Qing lowered his gaze, concealing the thoughts in his eyes. "Why, naturally, to sow discord."

The voice was filled with pure pleasure, tinged with a wicked sense of humor.

Xu Qing hadn't expected the "cause" behind the creation of the Causal Monster to be so straightforward.

But it’s right to think about it.

The other party has already laid bare their intentions; there's nothing they can't say.

This is a conspiracy.

The "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster knew that even if it so bluntly said that it was sowing discord, this thorn was still firmly planted between the Heavenly Dao and living beings in this world.

"You want me to take action against the Heavenly Dao?"

"No." The voice of "Cause," the one who gave birth to the Causal Monster, carried a hint of wicked amusement.

"I just wanted to tell you."

"Why have you regained your senses now?"

Xu Qingjian saw that the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster seemed to completely disregard the life-and-death struggle they had just fought.

Take this opportunity to gather more information.

"Because the 'door' has already appeared."

"What's behind that 'door'?" Xu Qing asked directly.

It was rather strange that the two sides in the battle had calmed down and were having a conversation at this moment.

However, Xu Qing knew that this was a rare opportunity, or rather, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He must seize this opportunity to obtain as much information as possible.

"Dream." Unexpectedly, "Cause," the being that gave birth to the Causal Monster, answered Xu Qing's question crisply.

"A dream?" Xu Qing's eyes flickered. "That eternal dream without death?"

"That's right. You should already know the real reason for my appearance. It is essentially the fear of death and the thirst for life of countless beings throughout countless eras."

"The sage's initial malice was merely the final step, giving me the opportunity to be born into this world. But even without the sage's malice, my appearance in this world would have been inevitable."

"Even if it takes several epochs, I will surely be born again when the fear and hatred of death, and the thirst and hope for life reach their peak."

"My appearance carries an eternal dream. Now that dream is behind that 'door,' and once that door is opened, the dream will be released."

Xu Qing's eyelids twitched repeatedly as he listened.

Beyond the "door" lies an eternal dream without death, yet the Heavenly Dao of this world desires to open that "door."
Does the Heavenly Dao of this world know what it is doing?
Once the "door" is opened, the eternal illusion of no death is released, which benefits no one.

But at this very moment, the Heavenly Dao of this world is attempting to open that door.
If the other side of the "gate" is an eternal dream without death, why would there be calamities of immeasurable eons?

And why should the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster prevent this?

Shouldn't it take advantage of the power of the Heavenly Dao of this world to open that "door"?
But now, it is the Heavenly Dao of this world that is trying to open that "door," while the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster is preventing it.

Have the roles of the two sides been reversed?

"Since the other side of the 'door' is the eternal dream of immortality that you carry, then why do you want to prevent the Heavenly Dao from opening that 'door'?"

"Am I stopping it?" The "cause" who gave birth to the causal monster spoke with obvious flippancy.

Xu Qing's eyes flickered.

Did the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster fail to prevent the Heavenly Dao of this world from opening that "gate"?
This, however, made Xu Qing feel puzzled.

The actions of the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster clearly appeared to be preventing the power of Heaven from attacking that "gate".
No, it is actively welcoming the power of the Heavenly Dao, using the power of the Heavenly Dao to push open that "door".

It was precisely because of the power of Heaven that the "door" was opened with a crack at this moment!
Xu Qing was deeply shaken.

But then, his thoughts shifted, and he realized he didn't understand.

Since this is a matter of cooperation between the two parties, why would the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster tell him these things?

If it doesn't make a sound.

Xu Qing certainly wouldn't act rashly.

Because he didn't know what was going on.

Perhaps he won't realize what's happening and react until the "door" opens a wider gap.

What was the purpose of the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster at this moment?

Xu Qing gritted his back teeth.

The situation has now completely turned into a three-way confrontation.

The "cause" that gave birth to the causal monsters, the Heavenly Dao of this world, and these beings as representatives.

Each party has its own objectives and goals.

The fact that the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster suddenly awakened him can only mean that he has reached this stage in the matter of opening the "door".

The "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster no longer requires the power of the Heavenly Dao of this world to open the door; instead, it requires...

The Heavenly Dao of this world wants to push open the "door" because it wants to use calamity or something else to break free from the shackles of the "world." Perhaps the two sides are currently fighting over this.

Therefore, the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster wanted to use its own power to restrict the Heavenly Dao of this world, thereby gaining a greater advantage for itself.

This is the reason why the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster suddenly spoke to him!

Once Xu Qing understood this, the anxiety in his eyes disappeared, and his face became more composed.

As he consistently agrees.

In any case, the Heavenly Dao of this world may have its own plans and purposes.

However, when it comes to fighting against the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster, the Heavenly Dao and the living beings of this world are on the same side.

so.
There's no need for him to intervene now to stop the Heavenly Dao of this world from continuing to bombard that "gate".

Xu Qing continued to observe the struggle between the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster and the Heavenly Dao of this world with leisure.

He only intervenes when the two of them are fighting the fiercest.

"You guessed it?" Seeing that Xu Qing didn't react at all after hearing what it said, "Cause" that gave birth to the causal monster knew that Xu Qing had guessed its purpose.

“It’s not hard to guess,” Xu Qing said, his tone unchanged.

"Moreover, in any case, the Heavenly Dao of this world is ultimately more closely related to you."

Xu Qing heard a burst of laughter.

"It seems my little scheme has failed."

The words contained the word "failure," but Xu Qing did not detect any sense of frustration or discouragement in the other person's tone.

Just as Xu Qing was trying to seize this opportunity to extract more information from the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster,

Suddenly, something unexpected happened!
The pile of minced meat began to shrink rapidly.

It was originally shaped like jelly, but it quickly solidified.

It turned into the shape of a "door"!

In addition, there was a normal-sized black figure in front of the "door".

A black figure sat cross-legged in front of the "door," its face consisting of nothing but a mouth, eyes, and nose.

"I am coming."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a strange tremor in their hearts.

It's as if the true "cause" that gave birth to the Causal Monster has descended upon this world! (End of Chapter)
