I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 658: Midfield Closure
The origin of the Lord of Daming Palace is mysterious. He traveled to Daming Taoist Palace more than two hundred years ago. Then he spent two hundred years to build a third-grade Taoist sect into the leading Taoist sect in the world.

The Lord of Daming Palace was extremely bold, and when none of the other schools of thought dared to teach the Great Xia Emperor to practice Taoism, he was ordered to enter Yujing and teach the Great Xia Emperor Taoism, thus helping the Great Xia Emperor to fall from the throne.

Combined with the "Four Wonders" of the Lord of Daming Palace, all of this forms a unified image.

That is, a monk who was bullied by the Buddhists in his early years decided to abandon Buddhism and become a Taoist priest. He wanted to realize his own Taoist tradition through the Emperor of Daxia, prove his correctness, and suppress Buddhism at the same time.

But these are all appearances, which are shown to the world by the Lord of Daming Palace.

Therefore, almost all the second-rank and first-rank officials in the world have guesses about the "Buddhist master" of the Daming Palace Master. The Daming Palace Master even openly displayed Buddhism to Zhou Tieyi and bluntly said that he came from Qinglian Temple.

But these truths have concealed a fact, that the Lord of Daming Palace from Qinglian Temple could also be the Taizu of Daxia!

The Great Xia Emperor Taizu also emerged out of nowhere in the past, sweeping across the world and shocking the world with his power.

As a hero who was recommended by various schools of thought to end the chaotic times, it was both a blessing and a misfortune for Taizu of Daxia.

All the schools of thought hoped that someone would end the troubled times, but they did not want another Saint Emperor to dominate the world. Therefore, during the Battle of Yujing Mountain, Taizu of Daxia was forced to ascend to the throne in a hurry and guard the entire human world in an incomplete manner.

But as Taizu of Daxia was such an intelligent man, how could he not have thought of a way to escape? He was the strongest among all the emperors of Daxia. Before he ascended to the throne, he was already a top-notch person and controlled the destiny of humanity in the world.

So he openly obeyed the plans of the various schools of thought, but he was actually preparing a secret plan to change the situation.

The sub-sage who damages the Tao can be a person or an object.

The Phoenix Ancestor, the Blue Dragon and others anchored their own damaging objects on humans, which eventually led to the catastrophe of the gods.

The Emperor of Heaven was a little smarter. He anchored his damaging objects in the Heavenly Palace, symbolizing the rules of this planet.

However, Taizu of Daxia chose the method of the Emperor of Heaven. He legitimately used the imperial seal to gather people's hearts, and then used the imperial seal as the basis for his own destruction.

Therefore, when he ascended to the throne at Yujing Mountain, Taizu of Daxia had already completed the destruction of the Dao, but he used the power of the imperial seal to conceal his own strength, and other people did not notice this at all.

Afterwards, Taizu of Daxia also began to grow old and die according to the wishes of various schools of thought. In order to make it more similar, he even specially found the bloodline of the Emperor of Life and Death, and studied the method of Hanba in his later years.

This not only perfectly portrayed the image of an emperor who was unwilling to die, but also paved the way for his subsequent plans.

Therefore, Taizu of Daxia not only deceived the world, but also deceived the emperors of Daxia of all generations, all for the sake of today's layout!

He stood on the Bridge of Holy Path, the imperial seal in his hand was constantly being repaired, power was continuously stolen from the corpse of the Great Xia Emperor, and he also touched the longed-for holy throne.

"Stealing a house!"

"You are actually practicing thieves!"

……

Voices of disbelief were heard from the mouths of various philosophers in the Thirty-three Heavens. At this point, they had already understood the entire process of the Great Xia Emperor's secret method.

First make a person sanctified, and then steal all the saint's person in the process of his sanctification.

This is the realm of saints that the Dao family has envisioned for thousands of years!

It's just that even the leader of the Dao family who cooperated with the Taoist Master Tianyi only reached the first-grade 'Heaven-stealing' realm of the Dao family in a short period of time, and then the Dao family lineage fell silent for hundreds of years.

But who would have thought that in a declining Taoist sect, someone could actually hide the truth from the world and find a way to reach the sky!

The Lord of Daming Palace looked at the people of various schools of thought with disdain, "Isn't this something that is obvious? The saint is the greatest thief in the world, and Tao is also a thief. This is the ultimate truth in the world."

"I have four unique abilities: 'Sword Uniqueness', 'Tao Uniqueness', 'Luck Uniqueness', and 'Buddha Uniqueness'. You all saw the 'Buddha Uniqueness' that I deliberately hid, but you never thought that the one I am best at is 'Luck Uniqueness'!"

"What is the end of luck? When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together. This is the end of luck! All the cause and effect will be eliminated and he will bear the responsibility. This is also the end of luck!"

The Lord of Daming Palace looked down upon the whole world, but began to explain seriously.

He was not explaining to the whole world, but to one person!
He set up this game to make the Emperor of Daxia bear all the consequences and attract all the hatred.

Now too much of Shinto's power has been spent on the Great Xia Emperor, and it can no longer interfere with him effectively.

The hatred of the various schools of thought was also directed at the Emperor of Daxia. Although they knew that Daxia Taizu had deceived them, they were actually not unable to accept Daxia Taizu's ascension to the throne. After all, he was the human race's own saint, and a man of great talent and strategy. Whether it was three hundred years ago or in the past three hundred years, he had made many good friends, and even Zhou Tieyi had repeatedly received his favors.

As for his enemies, apart from the dead emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty, there is only the Shinto, which is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. This is the control of the great destiny.

But at this moment, the Lord of Daming Palace still had to explain.

He thought of the unfinished game between him and Zhou Tieyi before he went to the West to become a Buddha.

At that time, he followed Zhou Tieyi's example and placed the first black piece at Tianyuan, just to re-determine Zhou Tieyi's attitude towards the layout.

This is even more important than many things.

But at that time he revealed the secret of his "Buddha's Absoluteness" and said that the reason why he changed from Buddhism to Taoism was to prevent the devil from speaking on behalf of the Buddha.

This is actually a metaphor.

The reason why he stole the show was to prevent God from taking over human affairs!
Zhou Tieyi didn't take it seriously, and asked him with a smile how he knew it was the Buddha who told him to convert to Buddhism and not the devil?
So Zhou Tieyi did not finish the game with him, and did not even place a single piece. He only left the black piece at the Tianyuan position and closed the game midway.

And that game of chess has survived to this day.

However, no matter how the Lord of Daming Palace explained, no matter how accurate his calculations were, Zhou Tieyi had already placed his chess piece. A pure white light bloomed from the imperial seal. It was a sword light, blooming from the national fortune absorbed by the imperial seal, dividing the world's fortune that was about to merge into one.

If you look closely, you can see a book written by mirage in the sword light.

[The sword opens a new world]!
This novel was written by Zhou Tieyi in the style of Li Jianhu, and it contained power that was exactly equal to that of Li Jianhu, as if it burst out in an instant, and its power was even far greater than the sword that Li Jianhu had just stabbed at the Emperor of Daxia.

He had always kept this backup plan hidden in his own mind, and at the time of the final battle, he transferred it and sealed it in the historian's book "The Final Verdict".

In order to ascend to the holy path, the Great Xia Emperor seized his innate saintly body, and then used his [Final Judgment] as the medium for his descent, so this volume of [Sword Opens a New World] was also perfectly integrated into the Great Xia Emperor's body again.

However, at the moment of fusion, the Emperor of Daxia faced the double killing attack from Shendao and Li Jianhu. He had no time to examine and sense what this power was, and coupled with the concealing effect of the mirage itself, this killing move was hidden.

When Taizu of Daxia seized everything from the Emperor of Daxia to help himself become a saint, the evil saint power of the Emperor of Daxia, including [Sword Opens a New Sky], was naturally integrated into the imperial seal.

The moment he saw the book, Li Jianhu's body automatically plunged into the book. The two were originally one, and Li Jianhu himself carried the destiny of establishing a new dynasty, so when he and the Emperor's Roar Sword sank into the imperial seal, it was like cold water falling into a boiling oil pan.

The entire destiny of humanity exploded, and terrible contradictions broke out in an instant, interrupting the rhythm of Taizu of Daxia who was about to ascend to the throne. He forcibly wrapped the imperial seal with a status close to that of a saint to prevent the seal from shattering in an instant.

"why?"

Taizu of Daxia asked with a gloomy expression.

The reason why he just explained it was to make Zhou Tieyi accept his plan, because his becoming a saint now is actually in the greatest interest of the human race, and Zhou Tieyi has always been considering the greatest interest of the human race.

Because of the death of the Great Xia Emperor, Zhou Tieyi's will was revived, and his power was also in the Imperial Seal.

He smiled jokingly and said, "When did the Palace Master think that I was the kind of person who would sacrifice myself for others and only consider the people of the world?"

Taizu of Daxia was stunned.

Yes, he said so much, but the prerequisite was that Zhou Tieyi gave up his chance to become a saint and gave the opportunity to him.

"So for this opportunity to become a saint, you are willing to fight with me even if it means destroying the human race forever?"

Taizu of Daxia asked. He was not only putting psychological pressure on Zhou Tieyi, but also determining the direction of Zhou Tieyi's Taoism.

All along, everyone believed that Zhou Tieyi's Taoism was closely related to the prosperity of the human race.

But just as he was able to conceal the truth until the last moment, there was no reason why Zhou Tieyi, the person who spread the earliest history of the human race, did not know how to conceal the truth.

"Do not."

Zhou Tieyi replied with a smile, "The knowledge I spread before... well, that is, the knowledge spread ten thousand years ago, was more classical, so it contained a lot of Confucianism. Even Taoism took saving the world as its mission, but in fact, the world is not as fragile as you think. For the world, the most important thing may not be to have a saint, but to have no saint! This is the form of the next stage of civilization."

"As long as the saints die, the thieves will continue."

His laughter disappeared, and his voice became loud and cold, "For the sake of all living beings in the world, since the Palace Master wants me to give up the position of Saint, I also ask you to give up the position of Saint!"

There was no room for compromise, and Taizu of Daxia no longer tried to argue with Zhou Tieyi. Since the two sides had different ideas, the outcome would naturally be decided in this round.

He swung out one tiny sword after another, trying to separate Li Jianhu and the destiny he represented from the imperial seal.

However, Zhou Tieyi used the [Sword Opens the Sky Gate] and used the Emperor's Roar Sword to block the attacks one by one. The distorted power of Hanba continued to erode the power of order that represented the destiny of the Great Xia nation. The two were originally born from the same source and were mutually reinforcing and counteracting.

Since Taizu of Daxia had used successive emperors of Daxia to form a conspiracy to replace the heaven with the earth, he would naturally have to bear the curse of successive emperors of Daxia at this time.

Although he claimed to be a master of luck and made the emperors of Daxia bear all the cause and effect, just like the five destruction methods of military strategists have never been truly perfected, Zhou Tieyi also conceived of completely severing cause and effect, a method of borrowing but not returning. However, cause and effect cannot be severed so easily. Even if the emperors of Daxia turned into drought demons and died, the traces they left in the world still gathered into the peerless magic weapon, the Emperor's Roar Sword.

When the two men were fighting for the holy position in the imperial seal, the gods outside also reacted. They had been fooled by Zhou Tieyi and Daxia Taizu once, and now the two men were disputing again, and it seemed difficult to have an absolute winner.

Therefore, the gods also quickly made their own judgments. The wills of the Azure Dragon, the Ancestral Phoenix, and the Thunder God flew away from Yuan Tong, trying to fall into the outside world. The will of the Lord of Taixu Illusion, which was forced away from Zhao Fuer, also began to collect the Taixu Illusion Realm.

However, this battlefield was prepared by Zhou Tieyi, so how could he let them escape from the battle so easily?

A copper coin with wings flew into the Taixu Illusionary Realm. One by one, the Taixu Illusionary Coins responded to the call and gathered into the copper coin like flowing light. As the essence of the 'Taixu Illusionary Coin' was revealed, Yanhuang Tongbao controlled the entire Taixu Illusionary Realm through one coin after another, and the power changed hands instantly!

Hao Ren directed the Yanhuang Tongbao to fall into the hands of the Queen Mother.

"The Heavenly Venerable has spoken out that the Great Xia Emperor has acted in a perverse manner and disregarded the lives of the common people. He has already been punished by Heaven, but the times have come and humanity is in jeopardy. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day, so the Heavenly Empress is ordered to take his place temporarily and suppress the Ancient Divine Way."

In the Dark Moon, the Queen Mother regained the authority of the Dark Moon through the Yanhuang Tongbao. The wills of the four revived gods were now in a parallel space and time formed by the mirage. Naturally, the Queen Mother knew what Zhou Tieyi meant.

However, she does not have any conflict of interest with Zhou Tieyi now. Zhou Tieyi and Taizu of Daxia have a dispute over the Holy Path, but the Queen Mother is still some distance away from the Holy Path. Instead, understanding the current situation in the world will help her advance the Holy Path.

Then the cold moonlight descended upon the entire Taixu Illusionary World like frost, causing everything in the Taixu Illusionary World to begin to freeze. Zhou Yulong no longer involved the power of the Queen Mother, and the two quickly reached a compromise. The Tai Chi Yin-Yang Bridge crossed the sky, spanning between the Dark Moon and the Taixu Illusionary World, amplifying the Queen Mother's holy power.

At this time in the underworld, the Equality King Buddha Mo Jian, who no longer needed to suppress the emergence of the drought demon, also freed up his hands to bless the Queen of Heaven with his own holy power.

The three sub-saints took action and cooperated with the Taixu Illusionary Realm, the ancient god's kingdom, to once again form a huge cage that imprisoned and suppressed everything inside.

This even affected Zhou Tieyi and Daxia Taizu who were still fighting on the Holy Road Bridge. However, this change was beneficial to Zhou Tieyi but extremely unfavorable to Daxia Taizu.

Zhou Tieyi has no possibility of ascending to the sainthood now, so he just needs to hold back Taizu of Daxia. Just like his choice, it doesn’t matter whether he becomes a saint now or not, as long as Taizu of Daxia does not become a saint. Just like the game of chess he played with Taizu of Daxia at that time, he wants to close the game in the middle stage.
