Tao and Heaven

Chapter 217 The Goddess Returns to the Mortal World
The shops along the streets of Liangjie City were decorated with lights and people were discussing who was a genius and who was about to make a breakthrough or a counterattack.

Who is stronger, the tenth on the Earth List or the tenth on the Human List? What will the future hold? And who will be able to take over the power of the Supreme God among all the people?

A figure in white walked through, looking out of place. She glanced from afar at the geniuses who were treated like stars in the crowd, including the three Daozis, Xiao Yunyi, Lu Chan, Lan Yongning, He Qing, etc. She had met all of them once before as they were at the top of the Heavenly Ranking.

"Aren't you going?"

A clear and flawless voice came, and Yu Hua turned around to see a nun in a white robe standing behind him. Her eyes were filled with Buddha's light, and her bald head glowed faintly in the light.

Yu Hua said: "With my current strength, I can't even make it to the bottom of the third list."

"There are countless heroes in the great struggle, and it has just begun. Even though you have lost the power of an immortal, you are still someone who has experienced transcendence and have gone further than them."

Jade Sword Buddha whispered Amitabha, like a master in a temple, and taught carefully: "The donor's fate is to become an immortal. Since you can control the power of Qingcang, you must have the fate, I say."

Snapped!
Halfway through his words, Yu Hua raised his hand and slapped the bald head, instantly reawakening the little nun. Her eyes no longer contained Buddhist principles, but revealed a clear ignorance.

Yu Hua said: "You seem to be in a much better condition."

In the past, this nun would never take the initiative to approach me and talk to me. When I was in the Immortal Realm, she never took the initiative to look for me again after Gu Wen got the Immortal Sword, because the Immortal Sword had a greater affinity with me.

And now that he had lost the power of his master Qingcang, the Jade Sword Buddha still took the initiative to find him, which showed that his illness was obviously not that serious.

Jade Sword Buddha touched his head and replied, "I have realized the meaning of the Immortal Sword and accepted the relics of several Buddhas. I can gradually remember some things."

“Where are you going to do in the future?” Yu Hua asked. Through his eyes as pure as glass, he seemed to be able to see the Buddha and the Devil in the other person’s heart.

There are many talented people today, but Jade Sword Buddha is the most unbeatable.

Simply because it involves two immortals, it is not something that ordinary people can interfere with.

"I plan to go back to Mount Xumi."

"You want to become a Buddha?"

"The Buddha said that all living beings can be saved."

The Jade Sword Buddha turned and left, his robes swaying in the lights and glowing, and in an instant he disappeared among the sea of ​​people.

Only a faint voice remains.

"Daoyou Yuhua, you are like a mountain. I am tired."

Yu Hua watched her leave, then turned around and left the crowd, turned his back on the geniuses, and came to the entrance of the immortal land which was already deserted.

The ancient stone gate is a hundred feet high. The Lord of Wukong City has been waiting for a long time, and his face seems to always have a smile on it.

"Anyone with intelligence cannot escape the word love. That little girl from the Thousand Phoenix Sect was able to see through the barrier of love, understand her true heart, and obtain the eighth level of perfect Taoism, but you, a goddess, can't see it clearly."

As the vessel of the immortal in the past, Qingcang left her with the foundation for becoming an immortal. Now her fate is greatly damaged, but as long as she cultivates herself well, she can still live for a thousand years.

When Qingcang becomes a lesser saint, able to enlighten living beings like the two saints of the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of the Palace in the past, Yu Hua will no longer have to worry about his life.

Gu Wen might not be able to wait until that time, but Yu Hua would have no problem at all.

Yu Hua smiled elegantly and calmly, "Senior is not a human, and even less me, so how do you know that this is not my true intention?"

"Are you willing to waste your remaining life just to see him? Even if you do see him, so what? You can only stay for seven days at most. If you don't leave after seven days, you will die."

Wukong's eyes were full of intelligence, as if he wanted to see through her true intentions, to see whether it was a momentary greed or a determination to remain loyal until death.

"Senior, you are a bit old-fashioned." Yu Hua smiled softly and said, "I will leave for a while after seven days. I can go back in after I have recovered."

"."

Wukong frowned slightly, and what he heard was 'I will die if I drink this cup of poison, but I can drink a small sip a day'.

Qingcang's voice came from my ear: "Let her go."

The elders had already spoken, so Wukong did not try to stop them.

He raised his hand and pushed open the stone door, leaving a gap big enough for a person to pass through. The world behind the door was shrouded in a gloomy aura.

All creatures become mortals, and their lifespans are predetermined.

The laws of the two supreme saints intertwined, forming a desperate situation where not even immortals could stay for long.

"Among the three disasters and nine calamities, the calamity of love is the most unpredictable."

"Senior, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't meet him because of feelings, just like I didn't fall in love at first sight when I held him in my arms."

Yu Hua walked past him and stepped into the mortal world without any hesitation or pause in her elegant voice.

"My duty is to save the immortals of the human race. Now there is another immortal in the immortal land."

In the past, Dao Zong's rumors about her mostly regarded her as a person of dissolute temperament, and some of the better ones believed that she had suffered a love disaster. Without exception, they all believed that she had feelings for Gu Wen, so she defended him so much.

Yu Hua never defended this. Gu Wen had already proved with facts that she had never used the power of Grandmaster Qing Cang to satisfy any of her preferences. Gu Wen's talent was worth what she did. But now Yu Hua wanted to defend herself.
-
In the south of the water, the night was dark and the sky was covered with dark clouds.

Gu Wen looked at the gradually darkening sky, and waited until the rainbow bridge in the sky completely disappeared before he withdrew his gaze. Afterwards, he did not look lonely or sad, but calm.

"Using the rainbow as a bridge, connecting the two worlds, it is called the City of Two Worlds."

He squatted on the ground, his hands covered with mud, and used his fingers as a pen to paint in imitation of Hongqiao.

The Immortal Sword couldn't stand being dropped to the ground by Gu Wen, and floated up on its own, saying, "Do you really think Qing Cang can save you? She can't break through to the Little Saint within a hundred years."

Gu Wen asked without even turning his head: "What do you mean?"

"The whole world is ascending, but you are the only one who has become a mortal. It seems that you are not affected at all."

Gu Wen chuckled at Xianjian's answer, and he said calmly, "A frog in a well cannot talk about the sea, and a summer insect cannot talk about ice."

"You really don't need to envy them for your talent. I just treat you like a child."

Xianjian understood everything. Gu Wen really didn't need to envy those younger generations. They might never be able to reach Gu Wen's current realm in their entire lives.

It was just because Gu Wen was too young that he always inadvertently treated him as a child.

Gu Wen shook his head and said, "No, I am the frog in the well who cannot see the ocean, the summer insect who can never wait for winter."

Even though he has become an immortal, the fact is that he is trapped at the bottom of a well.

"You have become an immortal."

"Senior, you are too old-fashioned. Immortals are not omniscient. It is true that immortals can have an endless lifespan and the power to move mountains and chase the moon, but can immortals outlive the heavens and the earth? Can they move the heavens and the earth?"

Gu Wen asked himself and answered his own question, shaking his head.

"No, I am between heaven and earth, just like a small stone or a small tree in a big mountain. So instead of measuring heaven and earth, it is better to look at my own self, not be happy when I gain, not be sad when I lose, and be calm when I know life and death."

Xianjian fell silent again, and he suddenly found that he could no longer sense Gu Wen's breath.

Above the immortals, it is all about understanding, and contemplation of the universe.

However, most people are proficient in one thing, and even after reaching the pinnacle of that skill, it is still difficult for them to become immortals, let alone comprehend the universe.

This is why a minor saint can be canonized as an immortal-level strongman, because a wisp of thought from a saint may be comparable to an immortal's understanding of Tao.

Therefore, most people stop moving forward after becoming immortals, and their lack of understanding cannot be made up by hard work. Moreover, their understanding is already top-notch, so how can they achieve higher understanding?

After becoming an immortal at less than a hundred years old, Gu Wen still did not stop, but isn't this kind of frankness also a kind of giving up?
"If you become a minor saint, you will be liberated."

The immortal sword suddenly spoke.

Qing Cang has accumulated such talent for three thousand years, but now he is not sure he can become a lesser saint within a hundred years, but Gu Wen needs a goal.

Gu Wen did not answer. He was calm as water and stood up as if to go back to the house.

"Gu Wen."

The still water suddenly turned into raging waves. He looked back suddenly and the gloomy sky was torn apart, revealing a bright moon with a graceful figure standing in it like a fairy from Guanghan.

Gu Wen saw a pair of eyes that were as quiet as the night and as bright as the full moon.

Suddenly I was back in Bian Jing, looking up at her from the Dragon Bridge.

Yu Hua landed and stood three steps away. She smiled softly and said, "It's been many years."

Gu Wen smiled back and said, "It's been five years."
-
Liangjie City, high platform and jade tower.

Qingcang, Wukong and Fox Fairy, three immortals gathered together, and there were three phantoms of immortals from nowhere. The six people present were the "anti-Jianmu camp" gathered under Qingcang.

When Qingcang was about to die, various forces surrounded and attacked him. Now that Jianmu is seriously injured, countless people also want it dead.

Qingcang threw the Taiyin Order lightly, and the dark black token with a chill air hung quietly in front of the Fox Fairy and Wukong.

"I have to go to the Underworld. In order to prevent Jianmu from counterattacking while I'm away, I need your help."

Wukong was a little confused and asked, "Why are you going to the underworld?"

Qing Cang replied: "I will ask the Lord to change the Book of Life and Death and help my disciple live a thousand years longer."

The fox fairy was the first to refute: "No, you are the foundation for fighting Jianmu. If anything goes wrong with you, no matter how hard we try, it will be in vain."

"I was able to go to heaven to ask for the elixir of immortality, and now I can also enter the Nine Netherworld Book of Changing Life and Death."

Qing Cang's voice was calm, and when the immortals present heard it, they all looked surprised, and then fell silent.

Ever since the two worlds of heaven and earth were disconnected from the world of cultivation, Qing Cang has been the only one who has been to the heaven.
