Wandering Movies

Hyperdimensional space!

Do not,
It should be called Zixiao Palace now.

Inside the enormous palace, only Wang Ming and Hongjun sat facing each other, the atmosphere between them strange and tense.

"As expected of the Venerable One who has suppressed us for countless years!"

"Indeed, your wisdom is all-seeing; nothing can escape your eyes regarding cause and effect," Dao Ancestor Hongjun exclaimed.

The Hongjun before them was not the Heavenly Dao Hongjun of the "Lotus Lantern World," but the Heavenly Dao Hongjun of the "Primordial World."

The strength of the "Lotus Lantern World" was no greater than that of the Primordial World. Furthermore, Hongjun of the Primordial World had devoured variants from other worlds. In the battle of variant wills, how could Hongjun of the Primordial World possibly lose?

Upon hearing the praise from Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Wang Ming simply shook his head and said, "If I weren't so familiar with the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World, I wouldn't have been able to see through your scheme, fellow Daoist."

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun showed no surprise, because from the beginning he had never thought of being able to deceive Wang Ming, nor did he need to. As long as all the native saints of the prehistoric world disappeared, what did it matter if Wang Ming saw through it afterward?
"Mingzun!"

"It can't be to seek justice for those idiots, can it?"

"The old Taoist will still keep his promise to revive your partner."

As Shizang and Dao Ancestor Hongjun spoke these words, they were already drawing upon the power of heaven and earth to infuse the two laws of love and hate. After a certain period of time, the two women, Jin and Yin, would be resurrected from their Dao laws.

It wasn't that Dao Ancestor Hongjun didn't want to kill Wang Ming, but rather that he couldn't do so at the moment.

Wang Ming still wields immense power over the primordial world. Although Hongjun cannot grant Wang Ming control over the heavens and earth, he is not someone Hongjun can kill.

Even when Hongjun eliminated those saints, it wasn't done by him personally.

Wang Ming's eyes, brimming with golden energy, glanced at the Laws of Love and Hate in the hyperdimensional space before turning his gaze back to Hongjun. He shook his head and said, "They didn't choose to fight to the death for me; instead, they chose to be opportunists. Naturally, they should bear the consequences of their choices."

“I have no interest in standing up for them.”

"but……"

At this point, Wang Ming paused and said, "I'm very curious how you managed to persuade the Heavenly Dao to cooperate with you and eliminate so many sages in one fell swoop?"

Dao Ancestor Hongjun smiled faintly and said, "The Heavenly Dao has no desires or emotions; for it, there are only extreme advantages and disadvantages."

"In the calculations of Heaven, the new saint born at this time is undoubtedly more valuable than the old saint."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ming was taken aback at first, then understood and nodded, saying, "No wonder!"

The saints in the "Lotus Lantern World" have all cultivated the "Three Corpses Severing Proof of the Dao Method". Even the worst saint has severed one of his three corpses. One saint can be used as two.

In terms of quality, they surpassed even those dead saints.

If it were merely a difference in combat power, the Primordial Heavenly Dao would not have condoned Hongjun's actions that led to their deaths.

The real reason why the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial World tacitly allowed Hongjun to kill those saints was because those saints were actually unstable factors for the Primordial World.

The Dao Realm is divided into the Path of the Sage and the Path of Primordial Chaos.

In terms of cultivation, the essence is the cultivation of the fundamental laws. The only difference is whether or not one entrusts their Dao to the heavens and earth. Those who entrust their Dao to the heavens and earth are called sages, while those who do not are called Primordial Golden Immortals.

The moment a Heavenly Sage appears in each world, a set of standards will emerge in the world.

A set of assessment standards; only by meeting these standards can you cultivate and attain enlightenment.

Hongjun set the standard for cultivation for all living beings in the world as the Immortal Path, the "Method of Slaying the Three Corpses to Prove the Dao", and the Primordial Purple Qi.

These three standards are the shackles binding all cultivators, and also the foundation for maintaining world stability. None of the saints who attained enlightenment during Wang Ming's reign met these three standards; those who did not were seen as unstable factors, uncontrollable bombs, by Hongjun.

Hongjun can be considered the ruler of heaven and earth in the lawful good camp. The standards he set were harsh, but also kind.

In the beginning of time, among those who cultivated the primordial path, there were many evil techniques like those of the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou, which devoured all living beings and sacrificed to heaven and earth, posing a great threat to heaven and earth and all living beings.

Therefore, after Hongjun became a Heavenly Saint, he immediately sealed off the laws of heaven and earth, so that those who did not cultivate the immortal path could not comprehend any of the laws.

It eliminated some evil and heretical paths, as well as cultivation paths that simply absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth without giving back to heaven and earth, thus delaying the arrival of the Dharma-ending Age.

The "Method of Slaying the Three Corpses to Prove the Dao" is a huge pitfall for cultivators, but a great virtue for all living beings in the world.

In the derivative worlds of the primordial era, the lives of all living beings are relatively happy.

Because in the derivative worlds of the Primordial Era, all the powerful beings have cultivated the "Three Corpses Severing Proof of Dao Method".

Wang Ming greatly disliked this method, but it was truly ingenious.

If one first severs the good corpse, the cultivator will be influenced by ego and evil thoughts, becoming a great demon or evildoer, causing trouble everywhere, depleting their blessings and fortune, and accumulating karma, losing the qualification to attain enlightenment, or even dying and dissipating their cultivation.
If one first severs their ego, the cultivator will be consumed by both good and evil thoughts, slowing down their cultivation speed;
First, by eliminating the evil corpse, the cultivator will be influenced by good thoughts and self-interest, becoming upright and compassionate. The advantage is that it is not easy to accumulate karma, and one can smoothly transition to eliminating the second corpse.

Therefore, most powerful beings in the primordial era would not act too recklessly or arbitrarily. They wouldn't turn the entire world into a battlefield for their own family feuds, like the Zeus family.

The Primordial Purple Qi is the passport to enlightenment. Without it, Hongjun will not allow anyone to attain enlightenment, and no one can achieve the Dao realm. However, refining the Primordial Purple Qi means handing over the handle to Hongjun.

In terms of combat power, as long as the power of the Heavenly Dao is mobilized, Hongjun can annihilate any saint in this world.

but……

The workings of Heaven are subject to limitations. As long as the saints of this world do not commit heinous crimes such as destroying the world, Heaven cannot harm them without cause.

In this way, these saints would be too free, so free that they could cut off the path to advancement for other living beings in the world, and even seize the resources of the entire world.

Hongjun Daoist's face showed a helpless expression. He shook his head and sighed, "This old Daoist does not have the methods of the Mingzun, so I can only use this clumsy method."

During the reign of Emperor Ming, let alone twenty-odd sages, even the previous sixty-odd sages were no problem.

Too many sages, not enough primordial energy in the world? Then go and seize another world.

A sage acts arbitrarily, disrupting the world's ecosystem? Then seal them all away.

Hongjun didn't have enough safe world coordinates, so he couldn't plunder other worlds to sustain his war effort through war, or raise so many saints like a venomous insect. He also couldn't rationally consume the extra saints.

Hongjun did not possess sealing techniques as powerful as Wang Ming's, and thus could not use sealing saints to restrict their destruction of heaven and earth and their excessive plunder of heaven and earth.

Upon arriving in the "Lotus Lantern World," Hongjun devoured the variant of this world and immediately conceived of this plan.

The disciple of the variant is his disciple; the lineage of the variant is his lineage.

The key is that cultivators who have practiced the "Three Corpses Severing Proof of the Dao Method" have basically severed their evil thoughts. Their destruction of the world is relatively minor, and they can at least be used as two combat units. On the scales of Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, they are always the ones who gain.

Wang Ming fixed his gaze on Hongjun and nodded, saying, "From the perspective of the overall situation of heaven and earth and all living beings, there is really nothing to criticize about what you did."

Wang Ming disliked Hongjun's methods, but he wouldn't stop him.

When Wang Ming was weak, he was in charge of the overall situation and had benefited from it. He couldn't just take advantage of the situation and then destroy it.

Wang Ming is now powerful, but he's no longer involved in the big picture...

this moment,
Wang Ming's resolve to follow the Hunyuan Path grew even stronger. (End of Chapter)
