I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 165 Jade Purity Envoy, Upper Purity Body, Great Purity Matchmaker (5k)

The beginning of the era.

"What are you doing here again, little guy?"

With a deep sigh, Zhou Mu's incense spirit separated from the little Roaring Sky Dog, flew out of the Taoist palace, and stood in front of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Tianzun lowered his eyes and said softly:

"Are you here for that girl Xiao Xiao? Her incident was an accident, but it was also within our calculations. It wasn't a big deal."

Zhou Mu calmed his mind and asked softly:
"Senior, my elder sister is not hiding?"

The Taoist pondered for a moment before answering:

"I won't hide it from you, little guy. I didn't erect a tombstone casually. I am indeed dead."

Zhou Mu's pupils suddenly dilated. Dead?
Can the Supreme One die?
As if seeing Zhou Mu's surprise, the middle-aged Taoist smiled:
"For ordinary creatures, death is the cycle of life's essence. Unless the soul is scattered and completely disappears - even then, there will be more or less a trace of it left in the world."

“And for the Supreme, death is actually just another state of existence, just like me, like the Supreme, like the Lingbao.”

He looked calm, and didn't seem to shy away from the fact that he had fallen:
"The Three Pure Ones have all passed away - to be precise, two-thirds of each has passed away."

Zhou Mu swallowed his saliva and said blankly:
"What does it mean?"

The Taoist patiently answered:

"The three of us share the same origin, but we are also independent individuals. One occupies the past, one occupies the present, and one occupies the future."

"Our existence was too high, which hindered the way forward for those fellow Taoists, and at the end of this era, they were also plotted against."

He said lightly:
"All three of us have passed away. I died in the [real present] and [real future], and can only live in the past. The same is true for the other two."

"Since then, I cannot leave the [past], Taishang cannot leave the [present], and Lingbao can only sit in the [future]. The Three Pure Ones will never meet again."

Zhou Mu was stunned, and suddenly understood why Lingbao Daojun asked him to pass on the message - that's it.

It turned out to be the case.

The Taoist lowered his eyes and smiled slightly:
"But this is already the limit of those fellow Taoists. The Supreme One exists forever. It is not that they cannot completely dissipate. It is just that no one can bear the cost of a Supreme One dissipating."

He said calmly:

"If I enter Nirvana, the past will not exist. If the Supreme enters Nirvana, the present will not exist. If Lingbao enters Nirvana, the future will not exist."

Zhou Mu's heart was slightly trembling:

"So, your fellow Taoists don't dare to really let you disappear?"

"No."

The Taoist shook his head and said calmly:

"It's not that we don't dare, but that we don't have the ability to do it. Fellow Daoist Jade Emperor takes the lead, the God of the First Era, and the Creator Donghuang of the Second Era."

"Then go to the five great Buddhas of Buddhism and the emperors of the Nine Netherworlds."

"Together with several disciples of Yuxu Sect and some spirits in Biyou Palace."

“Finally, add 90% of the magnificent gods and Buddhas, the emperors of the heavens, the supreme rulers of the worlds, and the lords of the calamities of the worlds, whether they are willing or forced, or just follow the general trend ignorantly.”

"all in all."

"They all tried their best to cause my Three Purities to fall."

Zhou Mu listened in confusion, the five great Buddhas, the Emperor of the Earth, the Emperor of the Three Epochs.
These are probably all supreme beings, right?

There are also gods and Buddhas everywhere.

The middle-aged Taoist said calmly:
"In this way, the three pure ones will be confined to their own time and will never see each other again."

Zhou Mu was confused and said subconsciously:
"Is this the end of this era?"

"No."

The middle-aged Taoist shook his head:

"These Taoist friends were united for a short time to deal with the three of us, but in the end, they all had their own plans. There are so many things about the end of the catastrophe, and everyone has evil intentions and plans. No one knows all the details."

After a pause, He said with a smile:

"In short, judging from the results, the nine Taoist friends were all suppressed by the three of us, which can be regarded as returning peace to the great world - but none of these Taoist friends are content."

Zhou Mu understood. No wonder those legendary figures were no longer seen in this world—they were all suppressed!

The Three Pure Ones of Taoism are so terrifying that it is no wonder that those supreme beings want to unite and separate the three.
The middle-aged Taoist priest sat on the bluestone slab and said with his eyes lowered:

"After Xiaoxiao lived to the [real present], she was out of my control and had no cover. Those fellow Taoists planned to help her achieve Daluo."

"By then, I will no longer be able to control that little girl."

Zhou Mu was confused:

"Senior, why is this?"

"Those who have attained the Way are called Daluo, and they are beyond time, not bound by the constraints and limitations of time, and they are one with the past and the present."

The middle-aged Taoist explained simply:
"If you want to kill a Great Luo who has attained the Dao, you must kill him at every moment of his existence before and after. That's the only way."

"Similarly, when the little girl attains Daluo, even if I change her past, it will not affect her present. Daluo is independent of time."

Saying,

He sighed:
"But this is not a bad thing. With my support, she is close to being a supreme being. She is absolutely immortal. Even if she is saved, it will only be for a short time."

“To attain the Supreme One, one must be fully versed in all paths, with the three bodies each in one place.”

"She has had this experience. She has been a Buddha, has controlled the underworld, and has listened to my teachings for countless years. She is also a demon. This qualifies her to become the Supreme One."

"One day, if she escapes from the predicament and takes on a duty in the Heavenly Court, and cultivates herself to the level of Daluo, she may become the Supreme Being. At that time, I will call her a fellow Taoist."

"So, do you understand? Can you rest assured?"

Zhou Mu nodded:

"Senior, rest assured."

He pondered, to become the supreme one, does one have to be proficient in all the ways?
You have to be the Taoist God, the Buddhist Buddha, survive in the netherworld, and take up a position in heaven?
Zhou Mu suddenly realized that in the myth, the Supreme Elder was the Lord of Heaven, who had once traveled west through Hangu Pass, had been a Buddha, and was also the Taoist Taiqing Daozu.
And it's not just Laojun, Senior Yuanshi, Senior Lingbao, and even some famous immortals and gods, they have more aliases than each other.

Some are the emperors of heaven and the emperors of the underworld, some are the celestial masters of Taoism and the Buddhas of Buddhism, and they often reincarnate in the human world and become kings, princes, generals and ministers.
Zhou Mu murmured:
“No wonder there are so many vests”

He couldn't help but ask:

"Senior Yuanshi, I heard that you have a life for Pangu, the creator of the world. Is that true?"

The middle-aged Taoist frowned and nodded slightly, acknowledging it:

"Yes, but not entirely. I transformed into Pangu, and what I created was not the great universe, but the First Age."

After a pause, He tapped Zhou Mu's forehead unhappily:
"Now that you have understood and resolved your doubts, why don't you go home?"

Zhou Mu woke up in shock, but waved his hands repeatedly:

"I can't leave, I can't leave. It was the Grand Senior who asked me to come and see you!"

"Not only do I want to see you, I also want to see Senior Lingbao at the same time!"

The middle-aged Taoist was stunned, confused at first, then suddenly realized and sighed:
"That's it, that's it."

"You little guy, you are so lucky that the Supreme actually chose you!"

………………

"Senior, please don't kill me. This face was made by Senior Yuanshi, and I can't change it!"

In the belly of Zhongshan Mountain, similar things are happening.

Zhou Mu, who was made of wood and stone and had the face of a young Taoist priest, was seeing the fruit of the future and saw the genuine young Taoist priest.

The latter had a bad look on his face, stroking the long sword on his knee.

Zhou Mu hugged his head:

"It was really done by Senior Yuanshi, and it has nothing to do with me. Besides, it was Senior Taishang who asked me to come and see you. Not only you, but my other self is meeting Senior Yuanshi!"

Lingbao Daojun snorted, his expression improved a little, and after pondering for a moment, he also sighed like Yuanshi Tianzun.

"I see."

Lingbao Daojun was silent for a long time, then he stretched out his hand and waved, and Zhou Mu's wooden and stone body unexpectedly fell into the fruit of the future, and landed beside Lingbao Daojun.

The two young Taoists stared at each other.

Lingbao Daojun looked a little unfriendly, but he suppressed the urge to draw his sword and cut off the mask.
He sat upright on the cloud woven from the infinite future, and placed His hand on the forehead of the wooden and stone body.

"Let's start." The Taoist said lightly.

"Start with what?"

Zhou Mu asked in surprise, but saw the young Taoist's finger piercing into the forehead of his body.

"Shangqing Imperial Decree."

Lingbao Daojun spoke lightly:
"I will allow you this life, and I will give you a clean body for you. I will grant you a name and you can choose it yourself."

Zhou Mu was at a loss, and saw several great names flashing before his eyes, such as [Jade World Great Lord], [Great Great Lord], [Great Red Spirit Lord], [Yu Yu Dao Zun], [Tong Tian Dao Ren].
He realized that these were the many identities of Senior Lingbao.

Now, He asked Himself to choose one?
What do you mean?
Zhou Mu pointed without hesitation:
"I choose Tongtiandao!"

At the same time, at the beginning of the era, Yuanshi Taoist's finger also pierced into the forehead of Xianghuo Zhenling.

"In this case, I will allow you to be my Yuqing messenger. Since you are the spirit of the incense god, I will order you to be the land god of Yuxu Palace."

"Next year, if you become a star god, you will be the Jade Pure Star God. If you become a city god, you will establish your own Jade Void City. If you become a heavenly king, you can call yourself [Yuanshi Heavenly King]. If you become a royal emperor, you will become the emperor of heaven."

"The lunch box is for the Emperor Zhou Tian!"

The Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, the most respected of the Earth Gods, is [Hou Tu Huang Di Ji].

The promise Zhou Mu obtained from this incense-burning body was [Emperor Zhou Tiandi].

The former holds the deity of the earth, and the latter holds the deity of the gods.

The earth gods are a kind of gods.

Or at this moment.

On top of Tianjiao City and Tianjiao Mountain.

The ten-colored lights covered the sky, the altar of the great sacrifice stretched across the sky, and the souls of all the spirits in the city became candles, burning one by one.

There were eighteen Buddhist celestial beings standing on the altar, quietly waiting for the time. The king of heaven glanced at the young man who was taking a nap by the boat, but did not say much.

And that young man, and that Zhou Mu.

He closed his eyes, as if taking a nap, his true thoughts sinking into his heart, sinking into the place where the incense stick was burning. He saw words written horizontally on the burning incense.

'That's it'

"I allow you to be the medium of Taiqing and protect [the present] on my behalf. You can call yourself [Laozi]."

'If in the future, my cultivation is sufficient, I will become the present master.' Three lines of handwriting flashed one after another on the burning incense.

Zhou Mu was doing three things at once.
The body of wood and stone was given the Taoist title of "Tongtian Taoist", the body of incense and fire was conferred by the Jade Void God, and the true body of my self was also conferred the medium of Taiqing and was given the title of "Laozi".

The meaning is to observe the world on behalf of Taiqing.

If his cultivation is sufficient and he has the ability to suppress all living things, he will replace Taiqing and rule the world.

If we go a step further, the Taoist Taiqing will also be called Taoist friend, and then changed to the current title of Honored Lord.

The Three Pure Ones are inseparable across the years, but they cannot see each other.

So, there was a bridge, a bridge named Zhou Mu.

He is the messenger of Yuqing, the incarnation of Shangqing, the medium of Taiqing, and finally, he is still Zhou Mu.

It’s not someone else, it’s yourself.

In the future, Lingbao Daojun asked Tongtian Daoist:

"Just ask, what else does the Supreme One want to do?"

At this time, Zhou Mu asked this question to the burning incense in his spiritual world.

Words appeared above the burning incense.

"Ksitigarbha has overstepped the boundaries and should be beheaded."

Ksitigarbha Buddha is above Daluo, and Daluo is immortal unless one dies all the time, let alone those above Daluo.

To kill it, it is necessary that every past, every present, and every future Ksitigarbha Buddha must all be destroyed.

For a Supreme Being, it is not difficult.

But for the Three Pure Ones, each of whom has died two-thirds of their body, and is confined to a large time and cannot see each other, this seems impossible to achieve.

Zhou Mu's incense and fire are in the past, and his wood and stone are in the future, conveying this sentence one by one.

In the past, Yuanshi Taoist asked:
"When, what moment?"

Zhou Mu conveyed the question to Ranxiang, but this time, not a single word appeared on Ranxiang.

Haven't seen for a long time.

Zhou Mu was stunned, and suddenly he realized.

You mean I'll decide?
Also, the burning incense is in your own hand, and it is up to you to decide when to light it, which in turn depends on when the grand sacrifice is completed.

Zhou Mu opened his eyes and looked at the great priest. At this moment, he heard Li Jing smiling:

"The grand ceremony has begun. Follow the time, follow the rules, perform the rituals, and beat the drums."

"Make sure that after one and a half quarters of an hour, the grand ceremony is over and the Buddha arrives!"

It was at this time.

In the future, Zhou Mu, whose Taoist name is Tongtian, spoke in a low voice to Lingbao Daojun:
"In a quarter of an hour."

In the past, Zhou Mu, whose Dharma name was Yuxu Shenzhi, smiled and said to Yuanshi Tianzun:

"In a quarter of an hour."

Two incarnations, one in the past and the other in the future, yet they can speak in unison.

"After one hour and three quarters, please kill the Buddha Ksitigarbha."

Yuanshi nodded, and Lingbao nodded.

At this time, the Three Pure Ones have already arrived.

Some things are changing silently.

………………

Inside the belly of Zhongshan Mountain, above the gate of Yuxu Palace, there is a carved image of a god.
Looking closely, it is actually a god.

In every ancient book and literature, there is an additional description about Yuxu and Yuqing.

[Yuxu has a god who is the messenger of Yuqing Yuanshi and the deity of Yuxu Palace. He is not under the control of heaven or earth and has great freedom.]

It was at this time, the City of Five Kings.

The cycle of humanity that was taken away by the ancestors of the human race with blood was shaken. The kings saw it clearly. A true king named Dan, who was also respected as Duke Zhou, closed his eyes and made divination.

A few moments.

Zhou Gongdan opened his eyes, both shocked and terrified. This great man who established the rites, laws and rituals of the human race actually began to tremble.

"Brother, what have you figured out? Why is there such a strange movement in the cycle of human reincarnation?" King Wu could not help but ask, and the True Kings also cast confused looks at him.

Zhou Gongdan was stunned for a while, and said softly:
"The destiny of heaven shows, the secret of heaven makes known, there is a saint of our race, coming to this world"

The kings looked at each other, the former saint?
The King of Qin was slightly pleased and asked with a smile:

"Duke Zhou looks like this. Could it be that the one who came to this world is an extremely great saint? Or maybe Jiang Taigong?"

"Or King Wen of Zhou?"

Duke Zhou did not say anything but shook his head woodenly. The other kings were somewhat puzzled. If it wasn't Jiang Taigong or King Wen of Zhou, who else could it be?
Could it be Confucius?
impossible.
A trace of fear flashed across King Wu's face, and he asked tremblingly:
"It won't be Big Brother, will it?"

The kings were in an uproar.

King Wu's elder brother, Bo Yikao, was the reincarnation of the Great Emperor of Purple Star of the North Pole.

However, Zhou Gongdan still shook his head. King Wu was puzzled and extremely confused: "That is, Confucius?"

Zhou Gongdan shook his head again and said blankly:
"The secret of heaven is revealed, and the saints who came to the world are called."

"I."

The kings were dead silent, their hearts pounding.

………………

The old man in the Tushita Palace looked back indifferently, staring at the Bagua furnace that was chirping and making a lot of noise.

He said:

"Do you think, fellow Taoists, that I have killed someone who has violated the rules?"

Inside the Bagua furnace, there was a domineering and cold voice:

"You who cannot leave the Tushita Palace and whose thoughts cannot reach this chaotic heaven, can you do it?"

The old man smiled without saying anything, shook his head slightly and sighed slightly.

"Well, wait and see."

As He spoke, He was filled with worry again. He was not worried about the so-called Ksitigarbha Buddha, nor about the Taoist friends who were suppressed in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

What He worries about is, are the people He has chosen really the right ones?
For the first time, a look of worry appeared on the old man's face - it was not that the little guy had impure intentions, nor was he worried that he would rebel one day, so he joined a few fellow Taoists.

What worries me is that Zhou Mu has pure intentions, but he is not a good person.

What should we do if this kid spreads rumors in the future and deceives someone in the name of the other two people?
The old man felt that this guy was capable of doing such a thing.

"I know how shameless he is, and Yuanshi also knows how daring he is, but that Lingbao."

The old man pursed his lips.

at the same time.

The years ahead.

Zhou Mu, who was called Tongtian Daoist, rubbed his hands and whispered:
"senior?"

"What's the matter?" Lingbao Daojun opened his eyes and said indifferently, "It's been three hours, and it's not here yet."

"No and no."

Zhou Mu swore confidently:
"The Grand Master once said that he wants you to give me a treasure, preferably a sword."

Lingbao Daojun frowned slightly:

"Give? Didn't I promise you that if you succeed this time, you will be able to enter the immortal trap? It is not a good deed to obtain treasures without going through hardships. Tai Shang is not Yuan Shi, and he does not interfere with the younger generation and does not protect the younger generation. How can you say such a thing?"

Zhou Mu remained calm and bowed:

"The Grand Master's intention is to give me a precious method so that I can practice it myself."

Lingbao Daojun still frowned, feeling that something was not right. He glanced at the little fellow who had the same face as himself, and his own spirituality trembled slightly.

He pondered for a moment, but ultimately did not doubt it despite the spiritual prompting.

This little guy can't possibly spread lies and deceive the baby, right?

Where does such courage come from?
Lingbao Daojun nodded and said:

"I see that your spirit has the foundation of the Yuanshi Yin-Yang Sutra, and you are also practicing the Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills, and you have also practiced the [Seven Treasures and Seven Killing Techniques of the Taibai Emperor]."

"There is no lack of methods for cultivation."

"After a while, when the matter here is over, I will follow the instructions of the Supreme Lord and teach you a formation."

Zhou Mu blinked and said carefully:
"Formation?"

He swallowed his saliva, could it be...
Then Lingbao Daojun nodded and said lightly:
"How about I teach you the Immortal Execution Sword Formation?"

“Although it does not have the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying, this formation alone can be considered the best killing formation in ancient times.”

"That's right!" Zhou Mu was overjoyed.

It was at this time.

【Real present】.

The grand sacrifice became more and more intense, with loud gongs and drums, all spirits moving together, and the entire Tianjiao City turned into a torch.

After a quarter of an hour, it was almost over.

Lu Quan patted Zhou Mu on the shoulder, and the latter opened his eyes, stood up and saluted.

Luquan said calmly:
"This great sacrifice will be completed in a quarter of an hour."

"You should first board the Guixu ship and get ready. When the Buddha begins to descend, sit at the bow and take advantage of the opportunity when the heaven and earth open up to welcome a great immortal back!"

After a pause, he stepped forward and patted Zhou Mu on the shoulder:

"Once this mission is accomplished, the Buddha will come to the world. As the boatman, you will also be able to enter the Buddha's eyes. This is a great opportunity."

Zhou Mu nodded, a kind smile on his face, and sat in the boat, waiting quietly.

A quarter of an hour passed in a flash.

The grand sacrifice is over.
