I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 528 Water stays low, benefits all things without competing

In the boundless and pure Buddha light, the second-class masters of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were all silent for a while.

Even the Bodhisattva Shengshan, who had the strongest will and vowed to "go to hell with his body", frowned after hearing the Taoist Li Kegong's plan.

Because in the era of the butcher Jiang Taiyi, there was no crowing of roosters within a hundred miles, no human habitation within a thousand miles, and there were more bone marrows on the roadside than ordinary people's homes. It was a real hell on earth, so all the families were furious and had to join forces to suppress the butcher.

In order to break Zhou Tieyi's thirty-three-day plan today, isn't it to restrain one tiger and release another?

The Dharma eye of Bodhisattva Shengshan fell on the Taoist Confucian Li Kegong. People said that this Taoist Confucian was ostracized by many officials in the court because of his upright character, but after teaching for two hundred years, he was still unable to turn back to Confucianism and make achievements. It can be seen that his inability to make further progress in Confucian practice was indeed not just due to his upright character.

Unfortunately, even as a Bodhisattva, after two hundred years, with generations of people praising him, he was unable to realize the truth of what happened and restore a true "Taoist Confucian".

Taoist Li Kegong saw that everyone was silent and sighed, "I know this is like trying to pull chestnuts out of the fire, but do you have a better way to suppress His Taoism?"

Li Kegong first looked at Lishan Taoist, "Why didn't the old Taoist take action?"

Then he turned to look at Shengshan Bodhisattva, "Why didn't the lecturer take action?"

Then he asked himself, "Why didn't His Majesty take action?"

"Besides the fact that he deceived everyone in the world for their own benefit, isn't it because this Thirty-three Heavens Dharma has already reached the 'ultimate Dao' that we can understand?"

Li Kegong raised his finger to the sky, "The Five Emperors were all transformed by his Taoism, and he also integrated the heresy of Mohism and Gongshu School. If you add his own set of human desires, and you all seem to have forgotten his accumulation of divine ways, there is at least one holy power in his hands!"

“Adding together the several ways, unless those three really want to destroy the world of Daxia, what else can they do to stop Him!”

"But all things are interdependent, and naturally there are also restraints. Even though He seems to have reached the 'ultimate path' at this moment, He has not yet truly ascended to the holy path. So there is only one way to stop Him!"

Taoist Li Shan was very excited, and he quickly understood the context of the words in Li Kegong's ears.

Indeed, Zhou Tieyi seemed to be seeking peace, but in fact he was fighting for the world. Although he did not stir up trouble in the world, he was able to deceive people's hearts and win over forces in this peaceful development to achieve his own goals.

The people of Daxia now finally understood the situation.

Why did Zhou Tieyi have so many opportunities to ignore the Great Xia court, disregard the people's livelihood, and confront the court?

But in the end, they all compromised with the central government and put the people of the world first.

He always puts the people of the world first, so when he takes the lead in the confrontation, the Emperor of Daxia, the Old Heavenly Master, and the Chief Lecturer will also be under pressure in this regard.

For example, this sermon was already a life-and-death struggle on the path of Taoism, but Zhou Tieyi and Gongshu Ting refused to kill. They just set up these thirty-three days to let the world see clearly.

Since you don't even have the qualifications to ascend to heaven, then what qualifications do you have to debate the truth? This is much more useful than killing millions of Buddhist and Taoist followers who refuse to listen.

So even if they tried to block the way, Gongshu Ting just drove them down and did not kill them.

So now we need someone who can completely go beyond Zhou Tieyi's framework and stop the Tao by killing.

The other pantheons of the Nine Ancient Gods and the newly resurrected Tian Khan from Yuan Meng can all do this.

However, no matter how much Lishan Taoist and Shengshan Bodhisattva hated Zhou Tieyi, they could not let Yuanmeng and the Nine Ancient Gods in. If they did that, they would be no different from thieves. All their efforts would be meaningless and would be purely out of jealousy of talented people.

So what else can stop Zhou Tieyi from achieving enlightenment?

Then there is only the method of military strategists to break the Tao. The third-grade military strategist breaks the human way, the second-grade military strategist breaks the earth way, and the first-grade military strategist breaks the heaven way.

At that time, hundreds of military schools joined forces to suppress the butcher Jiang Taiyi. Why didn't the military school produce another first-class "national shaker" in all these years?
Isn’t it because the Great Xia Emperor and all the other schools of thought are afraid of the military strategist who was born out of the Dao?

Only a military strategist who can break through all the laws can break the thirty-three heavens that encompass the three fortunes of heaven, earth and man.

As for the Taoist tradition that sealed Jiang Taiyi, hundreds of schools of thought joined forces, with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism being the main ones. Historians have made the final conclusion, so naturally the three schools also have a way to unlock it.

It just so happened that the three people present, the Confucian Confucius Temple, the Taoist Xuandu Mountain, and the Buddhist Nananda Temple each held a part of the key to the ban. As long as they unlocked it and cooperated with the historian on Yujing Mountain, they would be able to unlock the final conclusion that sealed Jiang Taiyi and bring this butcher's Taoist lineage back to life.

"But if this butcher revives and doesn't listen to us, what should we do?"

A Taoist asked.

Li Kegong patiently explained, "Even if we open the coffin and conclude, it is definitely impossible for him to be resurrected in perfect condition immediately. We took out his military flag from that year, which is enough as a backup. The way of heaven is to take away the surplus and make up for the deficiency. Since the three factions of us have gathered today, it means that the way of heaven can no longer tolerate his evil words that bring chaos to the world. Ren Tu's military flag is a peerless divine weapon, which should be born to break all the ways. At this time, all the ways are gathered on Xuandu Mountain, and naturally they will form something that counteracts each other. At that time, even if we don't deal with it, according to its own principles and destiny, it will break the thirty-three false heavens."

"Of course, this is just a backup plan. If we can fight for the dominance of the Thirty-three Heavens, we don't have to resort to such a lose-lose approach. But you all have to make up your mind, otherwise it will be too late, like the emperor and Dong Xingshu on Yujing Mountain!"

After hearing about the Emperor and Dong Xingshu on Yujing Mountain, the Buddhist and Taoist families made up their minds instantly. Yes, Dong Xingshu and the Emperor had been hesitant and wanted to compromise, which was why they let Zhou Tieyi become powerful. The past experience should be a lesson for the future. Zhou Tieyi had obviously become so powerful, would it be even worse if he released a butcher?
"Okay, I will order my disciples to get the forbidden items on Xuandu Mountain."

Taoist Lishan spoke first, and ordered the disciples who followed him to split into several groups, one to take the forbidden objects, and the other to go to Nanming, Jinmu and other Taoist sects, explain the interests clearly, and let them bring the newly built Tianyu to support. Shengshan Bodhisattva chanted a Buddhist name, although without words, but also notified his disciples through telepathy to take out the forbidden objects from Nandala Temple.

Then Taoist Lishan looked at Zhou Tieyi who was still preaching above the stars in the sky and snorted coldly, "Perverse theories and evil methods, don't you know the great Dao of the Daoist Master?"

After that, he linked the thirty-three heavens he had built and shouted, "There are thirty-three heavens, which are also the Taoist lineage of our Daoist Master. Xuandu is the highest. How can you, an evil heretic, preach on it? The Dongxiao Heaven is away from the mountain. This heaven was created by the Daoist Master. It carries the will of heaven and all things are born. All the Taoist lines in the world can enter my heaven to listen to the lecture. Don't be disturbed by the evil words!"

The Taoist priest Li Shan turned into nothingness, and in an instant he sketched out the outline of the sky. In that sky, all the true beings appeared, the Taoist palace was majestic, and cranes were flying in the sky, covered with colorful ancestral qi lights, woven into cloud-like cushions. Although it was not yet perfect, it looked like a fairyland.

This time, because of the reminder from Bodhisattva Shengshan, he did not choose to confront the Thirty-three Heavens, but chose to take the initiative to establish contact.

really!

Taoist Lishan, who had transformed into a virtual state, looked delighted. Shengshan was right. Even though Zhou Tieyi was one of the pioneers, he still did not have control over even half of the Thirty-three Heavens. If all the Taoists united, they would be qualified to compete for this control.

Because of the connection with the Thirty-three Heavens, the Lishan Taoist's Dongxiaotian Lishan Realm also quickly absorbed the human luck, earth luck, and heaven luck that gathered at this time to grow. Zhou Tieyi's Thirty-three Heavens gathered the Five Immortals' Taoist traditions, with the three elements of heaven, earth and man as the pivot, and did not exclude the Taoist tradition of the Taoist Master. Although the Lishan Taoist was an old man, the way he practiced was indeed the core Taoist tradition of the Taoist Master. If the old Heavenly Master of Xuandu Mountain did not take action at this time, he could naturally inherit the most luck in the world.

With the support of the destiny of the Taoist orthodoxy, the Dongxiao Heaven will become real from virtual. Once it is born, it will have the tendency to surpass Gongshu Jiaxu's tens of thousands of Dharma Heavens.

At this time, the huge Pratyekabuddha statue below shouted in a low voice, "I will lend a helping hand, fellow Taoist!"

The Ruyi Seal hanging from the left hand of the six-foot-tall golden body no longer pressed down on the hundred-mile territory of Taiyi Temple, but turned into a Heaven-supporting Seal. The huge light golden palm turned into a ray of ascending light, lifting the Dongxiao Sky, which was gradually turning from virtual to real, upwards.

The luck of the two holy paths of Buddhism and Taoism merged. Even if it was only a part of it, it surpassed the Gongshu school and the Mohist school at that time. It was lifted up within the rules of the thirty-three days. That layer of the sky was about to be on par with the rotating galaxy, and it even wanted to suppress the galaxy.

Taoist Lishan looked at the image of the great Taoist transformed from the primordial heaven and earth in the galaxy. His previous shock and anger turned into high-spiritedness. Not only because he had overcome the obstacles set by Zhou Tieyi and was now qualified to discuss Taoism with him, but also because he had actively integrated into the Thirty-three Heavens to compete for the dominance of the Taoism therein. With each level he ascended, luck would gather from all over the world. At this moment, the terrifying luck was surging and the principles were intertwined. Being able to compete for the dominance of the Thirty-three Heavens, even Taoist Lishan, a second-grade Taoist, was rapidly growing in Taoism.

If he could really suppress Zhou Tieyi, he even felt that it was not impossible for him to achieve the first-grade "Pingsheng" today.

But everything in the world may sound good, but the reality is cruel.

Just as Dongxiaotian was rising, Miaoyu's voice was cold in the black and white portal that connected the sky and the earth, "There are thirty-three heavens, the fifth of which is the Taiyi realm of Xuanhuangtian. This heaven is the Tao of Taiyi, mediates the opportunities of the creation of heaven and earth, gathers the gate of Xuanpin, and controls the way of creation of life."

As the authentic Taoist temple, Taiyi Temple is far inferior to the Taoist ancestral sites such as Xuandu Mountain and Qingpingzhou, but it has inherited the Taoist luck for hundreds of years and has accumulated a lot. At this time, the luck of the world is gathered in front of Taiyi Temple. Miaoyu, the direct descendant of Taiyi Temple and the second-rank Taoist, has seen the gate of Xuanpin, so naturally she can stand for another day.

In Taiyi Temple, the ancestral luck accumulated for hundreds of years rose into the sky and merged with the green lotus buds that were about to bloom in front of the ancestral temple. The green lotus rode on the ancestral luck that was like white smoke and rose into the sky, passing through layers of sky and came into the galaxy.

Beside Zhou Tieyi, the brilliant Taoist of the Galaxy, the portal of the Mysterious Female that had been moistening everything silently condensed again and transformed into a graceful female Taoist dressed in a dark yellow Taoist robe. The female Taoist stepped on three thousand green lotus buds that were about to bloom, which gathered into a huge lotus sky with the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish as its pond. It fell from the Galaxy and directly pressed on the Dongxiao Heaven built by Taoist Lishan.

The Taiyi Realm of Xuanhuang Heaven pressed down on Dongxiao Heaven from above, and the two Taoist heavens vied for supremacy, causing the cranes of Dongxiao Heaven to fall from the sky and lie on the ground wailing. The lotus flowers in the pond of Xuanhuang Heaven also shook, causing ripples in the water.

However, the cranes in Dongxiao Heaven come from the ancestral Qi source of many third-grade Taoists, but the lotus pond in Xuanhuang Heaven comes from the immortal Tai Chi Avenue.

The terrifying pressure came from above Dongxiao Heaven, forcing Taoist Lishan to transform into nothingness again, and transform all things in Dongxiao Heaven into invisible green smoke, relying on the luck of Daozun and the luck of Buddha transmitted by Bodhisattva Shengshan at this time.

There are few things in the world that can transcend the Great Dao of Tai Chi. But at this time, Taoist Li Shan wants to borrow the two supreme fortunes in the world and use the thirty-three heavens themselves as a connection to transcend this layer of the sky. However, he has the method of guarding emptiness, and Miaoyu also knows the method of guarding emptiness.

The three thousand green lotuses swaying in the pond but not fully bloomed also transformed into nothingness, but they were not placed on the luck of the founder of Taiyi Temple. This luck of the founder, combined with the three thousand lotus flowers sent by the Buddha of Equality in the Netherworld, was enough to connect to a layer of the sky, but it was still not of sufficient quality to withstand the luck of the two supreme beings.

She relied on herself, and the boundless dark yellow light and the faint sky blue color seemed like the fusion of heaven and earth. It was the true feeling of the boundless sky and the thick earth. From top to bottom, it still suppressed the two supreme auras and prevented them from moving.

However, the Taoist Lishan and Bodhisattva Shengshan only used the Taoist tradition and borrowed a part of the luck of the Taoist Master and the Buddha. But Miaoyu, who was pregnant with the two children of the Earth Mother and the Eternal Heaven, almost enjoyed the supreme luck alone.

Boundless dark yellow light mixed with sky blue fell from the lotus pond above, weighing down the raised golden arm of Bodhisattva Shengshan. Pieces of gilded merit light fell from the sky, just like the gold paint in the temple that lost its luster and was constantly torn apart, revealing the wooden essence inside.

The golden lacquer fell into the mountains and forests at this time. When it met wood, it turned into Buddhist Bodhi, when it met stone, it turned into Buddhist seven treasures, and when it met water, it turned into Buddhist nectar, which made the eyes of many people who came to listen to the teachings shine. They did not bother to go to heaven to listen to the teachings first, and went straight into the mountains and forests to search for these treasures.

Only a few with firm minds found the right opportunity at this time, and crossed into the sky first, entering the first layer of the cloud-carrying sky, wind and thunder realm covered by the Buddha's light.

Taoist Li Shan turned from virtual to real again, his face flushed and ugly, and he could only look up at Miaoyu who was on the higher level. As long as Miaoyu was there, he naturally could not cross this layer of Xuanhuang Heaven, let alone discuss Taoism with Zhou Tieyi.

Miaoyu also looked at the Taoist priest Lishan and uttered two words, "Go down."

After saying that, Xuanhuangtian fell rapidly again, and actually pressed Dongxiaotian down from the Steam Heaven, trying to press Lishan Taoist back to the first heaven.

"Too deceiving!"

Taoist Lishan said angrily that he wanted to compete with Miaoyu, but Miaoyu had the support of the Earth Mother and the Changshengtian's energy, which was almost inexhaustible, but the golden body of Bodhisattva Shengshan was far less heavy than the fetus of the Earth Mother and Changshengtian.

If Miaoyu doesn't stay in a high place, she can naturally force the Taoist priest Lishan to go to a lower place.

Miaoyu's expression remained calm. "Everyone in the world wants to climb high, but I, the Taoist, believe in being low. Water stays low, benefiting all things without competing. Senior Lishan can't even understand this principle, yet he still wants to inherit the Taoist tradition. I think you should stay down there for a while and figure it out first."
