Tao and Heaven

Chapter 253: After Heaven and Earth, There is No More Saint

Gu Wen really wanted to know how to bring Yu Hua back to life, but his master was determined not to tell him, so he had no choice but to give up.

At least the situation is not the worst. If my master is confident that he can bring Yu Hua back to life, then if I am stronger than my master, then naturally I can do it too.

So he was not anxious and was calmer than Li Yunshang had expected.

Gu Wen had been sitting alone in the Immortal Realm for eight hundred years, so he still had some concentration. He asked, "Where is her body now?"

"Master Yuqing, I have set up a ban. You will know when you go there." Li Yunshang smiled playfully, "But you can't do anything weird. Your master will always keep an eye on you."

"Master, who do you take me for?"

Gu Wen showed helplessness. Li Yunshang snorted and said, "You are less than a thousand years old. You have to be careful since you have never experienced anything in life. Don't say that a thousand years is a lot for mortals. Even the old monks in the temple may have committed adultery."

"But you can't assume that I will make mistakes."

"Living beings measure their aging by their natural life span, but it is not the same for people who practice cultivation and go from a short life to a long life. It depends on their experience and character. In my eyes, you are still a young man full of vigor and vitality."

Li Yunshang held Gu Wen's face and rubbed it, and their eyes met with a sense of calmness and indifference.

Even though Gu Wen has already walked out of his own path, it all started from the Yuqing Heart Method.

"It should be an old young man."

"Master, you don't seem to be more than three thousand years old."

"But I have fought for more than a thousand years and governed the world for eight hundred years, so I am different."

Li Yunshang raised her head slightly. Gu Wen understood that as long as he could not defeat his master, the other party would be able to find countless excuses.

After all, it still has to be as big as a fist.

"Why didn't you exercise your Heavenly Lord authority in the end? I wanted to see what ideas you had to solve some of the problems that have troubled me as a teacher for many years."

Li Yunshang let go of Gu Wen, who guessed, "Master, the world peace you wished for has not been achieved?"

Eight hundred years of construction, excluding the war years, is four hundred years, which is actually longer than the red theory of the previous life. Along the way, the people can be said to have lived and worked in peace and contentment, but it has not reached the level of universal peace.

It was probably during the heyday of the dynasty when there was no hunger or famine.

"They all failed. Every time I move in this direction, it's as if I'm wrestling with the entire world, including Dao Zong who is trying to hinder me. But if I go to verify it, most of them can't find the cause and effect that deserves death."

Li Yunshang looked confused. She knew everything about the world and the true meaning of cultivation. She had thousands of magical powers and Taoist methods at her fingertips.

But the only thing he doesn’t understand is human nature.

"Three hundred years ago, I lived in the Jade Emperor's Palace and worked hard for more than a hundred years. Only Xuanhuangzhou was close to achieving universal peace. But then everything inevitably fell and returned to a place higher than the starting point. This cycle repeated seven times, like the tides, and universal peace could only last for a few years."

"You said that the contribution of one person can equal the force of ten thousand kilograms, and that the world's great peace requires the efforts of all people. In fact, there are more than a hundred times more people working for the people and the world than eight hundred years ago, but half of these people can no longer keep their original intentions after gaining power and profit. Dao Zong, Tianzun, and even the people themselves."

Gu Wen asked, "Can Wenzun Lan Yongning be counted?"

Li Yunshang nodded and said, "He is only half a person, but he has been much more lazy. He thinks that it is enough for the people of Wenkui Prefecture to live and work in peace and contentment. But the people can only live and work in peace and contentment if they can work to make a living. If they want their children to study and practice, it will take three generations of accumulation."

"You want everyone to practice?"

Gu Wen asked again, and Li Yunshang pondered for a while.

The other two people present were completely unable to get a word in. Both the Fox Fairy and Akabane could feel that there was an insurmountable gap between them and the master and disciple.

This is not the result of cultivation, but a kind of meaning that is difficult to explain.

Li Yunshang's will was as hot as the morning sun. No one could get close to her. Even the fox fairy could only obey her to stay by her side.

Gu Wen was able to get close, he could understand Li Yunshang and understand his master.

The confusion in Li Yunshang's eyes disappeared, and her eyes, as quiet as the bright moon, glowed with light. She smiled and said, "Practice is good. I want to give practice to all my people. Let them fly between the green mountains, walk bare-chested on the ice and snow, suck honey when they are free, and breathe the wind and drink dew when they are busy. The sky is ninety thousand feet high, and my people deserve eighty thousand feet."

"As a human being, this is how we should live, and this is how we must live."

Gu Wen listened quietly and said, "You want everyone to be at least in the Qi training stage, but we can't even make everyone literate."

"Disciple, I just want to know the answer and the method."

Li Yunshang flipped her right hand, and a very thick notebook appeared.

Gu Wen looked at his master who was as stubborn as a donkey and sighed silently.

Gu Wen could also apply what his master had just said to him on Li Yunshang.

Haste leads to disaster, but on second thought, we have persisted for more than 400 years, so it doesn’t seem that urgent.

Read through the neat or messy text, which is the summary and record of failure again and again.

There were four hundred years of peace, a hundred years of prosperity, three years of Datong, followed by five years of chaos, ten years of rebellion, and after they were suppressed, there was peace again.

It repeats itself over and over again, with constant changes.

Generation after generation challenged Dao Zong's authority, and at the same time, one powerful person after another challenged Qing Cang.

They all expounded a despairing fact: at least in this world of extraordinary power, it is extremely difficult to achieve universal peace.

There is a sentence in the master's notes: if most people can own 30% of the spiritual fields in the world, then they can achieve moderate prosperity, and if they own 50% of the world, they can achieve universal peace.

But why would the strong ones give up 50%? Even if they are less than 1% of the people, they will demand at least 80% of the spiritual fields before they will give up.

The problems his master faced, the mistakes he made and his past life.

But the corresponding masters also succeeded. Compared with now, eight hundred years ago, people's lives are getting better.

Gu Wen almost didn't want to think too much and replied: "History always spirals upward, and all problems are problems of productivity."

Li Yunshang's eyes gradually brightened, and she murmured to herself a few times, saying: "I have some feeling about what you said, but I only asked them to give up 30% of their spiritual fields. Why is it more serious than taking their lives?"

"Beheading you is a matter of a moment, but the spiritual field is a long-term test."

Gu Wen asked himself, if he was still a businessman, still the small businessman in Longqiao, then he would also become a parasite in the eyes of his master, and he would not be willing to be assigned.

The master's harmonious society is built on fairness, but fairness is the most difficult to maintain.

On the other hand, a hundred years ago, the master delegated power to the Heavenly Lords, and the Heavenly Lords from all sides governed themselves, and there has been no rebellion since then.

Because those powerful people in the Jade Emperor Palace are more able to adapt to the times, they are the pioneers of this era, and it is his own master who has become the biggest "disaster".

He said truthfully: "Master, the world fears you. You are already the world's greatest destabilizing factor. If we regard each Great Harmony society as a dynasty, it will inevitably decline after its peak, and then perish."

These are things that others dare not say.

Gu Wen could feel people’s fear. People inside and outside Dao Sect only expressed awe when they mentioned Qingcang’s name.

Li Yunshang was silent for a while, then said, "Did Yun Miao ask you to say this?"

Looking at the Taiqing main vein dozens of miles away, Yun Miao shuddered for no reason.

Gu Wen smiled and shook his head: "Of course not, but were you angry just now?"

"No."

"You have. Haven't you discovered that you already like to use force to overwhelm others and crush everything you dislike?"

"When you've been fighting some bugs for hundreds of years, that's what happens."

Li Yunshang snorted coldly and turned away slightly. Gu Wen changed his direction and continued, "In the past hundred years when Master was not in charge, the world has never been in chaos. Of course, I am not blaming Master, but you have to give people time to adapt." "Every generation gets better, as long as the overall upward trend is maintained, it is enough."

These words were also not something that outsiders could say, and Gu Wen also knew that his master would not give up easily.

In fact, he doesn't know what is fast and what is slow.

An ordinary person's life span is seventy years, and most common people's life span is forty years, so four hundred years is ten generations.

Li Yunshang did not answer, turned her head and said: "Master is tired."

"Master, take good care of yourself. I will come to pay my respects to you tomorrow."

Gu Wen turned and left the house, followed closely by Akabane.

Fox Fairy Li Miao said: "Your disciple is really brave to say that, and you are really patient. If it were someone else, you would have slapped him away long ago."

The disaster of Qingcang was directed at the powerful and strong ones, and in the world of cultivation, it is these powerful ones who control the military power, but Qingcang controls greater military power.

The chaos and peace of the past few hundred years are sometimes even confusing to the fox spirits.

If it is the law of the jungle, then Qingcang is stronger than everyone else, so why are there always idiots jumping out to challenge her? On the contrary, if it is not the case, then why do the strong occupy so much space?

It’s all for the sake of profit, but it’s not just about profit.

"Can I beat him to death?" Li Yunshang was quite unhappy. "I wanted him to rule the world and put an end to this chaos, but he turned around and blamed me."

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. How could she have taught such a traitor who had a treacherous arm?

Li Miao smiled and said, "Is it possible that he saw through your thoughts, so he said that?"

Li Yunshang frowned slightly and said, "Don't spread rumors to confuse the public. How could my disciple be a lazy person?"

"."

The fox fairy was speechless after being scolded for no reason, but what could she say?
Now that he has escaped from Jianmu's control, or has gained a relationship with a new saint, the fox fairy thinks it is best to just lie still.

Suddenly, a streak of light flew over and turned into a document from the Heavenly Prison.

Li Yunshang took a glance, frowned at first, and then looked thoughtful.

When he flipped his hand, a round bead with precious light appeared, divine light shone in all directions, and clear air rose for a hundred miles.

"Millet pearl?" Li Miao looked puzzled. "What do you want to do with it?"

In the past, the human race was able to leave Jianmu entirely because of the Three Pure Ones' magical artifacts: the Jade Pure Millet Pearl, the Tai Qing Jade Ruyi, and the Shang Qing Yin Yang Bagua Diagram.

It is said that it was bestowed upon the human race by the ancient Heaven, but the Heaven had disappeared long before the human race left, and no one knew where it came from.

Li Yunshang did not answer and pointed to the documents on the table.

Li Miao took a quick look with his mind, was stunned for a moment, and then stared at the pearl in Li Yunshang's hand.

Gu Wen brought the first immortal prisoner to Dao Zong, and in order to gain leniency, the prisoner told a story that was enough to cause chaos among the human race.

Returning from heaven, his immortal position is still undecided.

The immortal position is equivalent to the cave master of Jianmu, that is, a weaker immortal. Whether it is integrating Jianmu cave heaven or inheriting the immortal position, it is easier than practicing on your own.

The most precious treasure in the hands of the major sects of the human race today is most likely the immortal throne in heaven in the past. If this news gets out, countless hermits will emerge.

They will not care about the battle between humans and demons, but they will definitely not miss the opportunity to become immortals.

Moreover, a considerable number of those in Taixu are the ancestors of the major sects, so they also have a legitimate reason to be the master. At the same time, in many major sects, the strongest person is not necessarily the headmaster.

For example, Dao Zong Yun Miao and Hua Yang, they are not the strongest in the Dao realm, but they are in power because they are young and do not need to worry about their lifespan.

"Yun Shang, what are you going to do?"

"Block the news and wait and see what happens."

"Why not give it a try? This position of the Three Pure Ones is probably no worse than that of the Lesser Saint. It will be troublesome if it is taken by others."

Fox Fairy Li Miao transformed into a graceful woman, pinched Li Yunshang's shoulders with both hands, and said, "What do you think of me?"

"for you."

Li Yunshang casually threw it to Li Miao, who hurriedly caught the millet-sized pearl and held it in his palm, feeling very happy.

The Jade Purity Sainthood, a minor saint may live for a million years or even longer.

Once the thought is probed in, no matter what method of refining is used, it will not work.

"How to refine it?"

Li Miao frowned slightly, and Li Yunshang replied: "It cannot be refined. From ancient times to the present, the Three Pure Ones Immortal Weapons have been unable to be refined. Driven by the will of the Heavenly Saint, it belongs to the Dao Sect and also protects the human race."

"But now a small pill furnace can be used to refine, and there will be more and more in the future. My disciple has the position of Taiyin Star Lord, one of the Nine Stars, and you can ask for it."

Li Miao immediately lost interest and said, "I have become an immortal, so I don't need the Nine Star Officials anymore."

“Others need it.”

Li Yunshang held the pearl between her fingertips, her eyes reflecting brilliance, her mind passing through the saint's rhyme of Tao.

The holy throne of Jade Purity.

She can refine it, but as Li Miao said, those who can become immortals do not need immortal status, and those who can become saints do not need saint status.

So why did Heaven return?
Suddenly, the Jade Purity Holy Throne shook slightly, and the rock-solid Dao rhyme on it melted.

Li Yunshang suddenly retracted her mind and left the millet bead.

Within the sight, there was a free golden light condensing in the void, and words appeared out of thin air one by one.

[After the heaven and earth, there is no third saint]

[Those who can prove Hun Yuan with Jianmu, Zulong, Qingcang, Hongchen and Xianjian can all enter the court of heaven and earth to prove immortality and live as long as heaven and earth]

----------

The main Yuqing Mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist and has beautiful scenery.

There were immortal cranes in the mountains, and Taoists flying in the clouds.

Gu Wen and Chi Yuzi were walking on the mountain path. An elder from the Yuqing Sect was leading the way in front. Along the way, young disciples kept casting curious glances at them.

No one knows who these two new faces are, but among them, Akabanezi attracts the most attention from many male disciples.

She has short hair, red eyes, a delicate and beautiful face, and a rare sharp temperament.

"You really don't rule the world?"

"Will this do me any good?"

"In this way, the Yuqing position will be yours."

Gu Wen knew that the Jade Purity Position Chi Yuzi was referring to was the Immortal Position, so he shook his head and said, "I don't need it, and who can guarantee that this isn't another kind of shackle?"
