I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 340 Why Should I See Myself? (First Update)
The tripod has three legs, and none of them can be missing.

There are three things in heaven and earth, none of which can be missing.

The illusory primordial body, projected from the past, combined with the intention of the future, and residing in the true self, is the "Heaven-Connecting Body" and the "Pseudo-Spiritual Treasure Supreme."
They all merged into the great red body.

It is a naked body, and also a false moral superiority.

"All gone!"

The beautiful woman standing beside Shen Tu had somehow transformed into an elderly woman, dressed in a long robe, with a long beard, a Taoist hat, and leather boots.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyelids raised, the stars above his head spinning, and a phantom furnace floating behind him. His figure was not hunched, but stood straight, as if he were alone, or as if all the worlds were before him!
"Now that you have seen me, why do you not bow?"

The old man gave birth to two hands and a head; the newborn head was clearly that of a rebellious youth.

"The Northern Emperor!" a Great Luo exclaimed, pointing at the young man's head.

"Now that you have seen the true deity, why do you not bow?"

The aged head spoke with a smile, and the illusory furnace behind it suddenly solidified, covered with dense Dao patterns, revealing itself to be...
Eight Trigrams Furnace.

"Laojun!!!" Zhu Jiuyin's scalp tingled, and Shennong's pupils shrank sharply!

The powerful beings on the back of the black bird felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if a chill had burst forth from their tailbone and rushed throughout their entire bodies!

Zhen Yuanzi was somewhat bewildered at this moment—wasn't it the Primordial Heavenly Venerable?
How come he suddenly became the Supreme Ruler?
wrong.

He suddenly frowned, feeling that something was not quite right, and tried to recall his past memories, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

When Zhou Mu's three bodies merged into one, the Great Luo Realm was quietly achieved.

All three bodies simultaneously attained the Great Luo.

He observes the self, the true nature of himself, the forms of all beings, and the countless unpredictable future. His naked body completely merges with the position of the Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality and Law, occupying the present moment, transforming the foundation of all things, and the 'process' between cause and effect.
Naturally, the image of the Supreme Being in the minds of the common people became the image of the Great Red—no, the image of the Moral Zhou Mu.

Yuqing Yuanshi is the origin of everything, pointing directly to the beginning, the past, the cause, and the birth.

The Shangqing Lingbao refers to the end of all things, directly pointing to the end, the future, the result, and Nirvana.

The Great Purity Morality is the existence, the present, and the process between origin and end, past and future, cause and effect.

The idea of ​​the Three Pure Ones as one is not unfounded.

All things and phenomena arise from a beginning, a middle, and an end. A tender sprout becomes a towering tree, and the towering tree becomes a handful of yellow earth. An infant becomes a grown adult, and the grown adult becomes a withered bone. The universe is born from nothingness, multiplying into countless stars and celestial bodies, until finally it goes to extinction.

Only with all these things, with a beginning, middle, and end, can it be considered 'complete'.

The three beginnings of things, the three stages of all beings, and the three transformations of all things constitute the "Three Purities".

The Three Pure Ones are inseparable.

If there is separation, there will be reunion—that is the case with Zhou Mu at this moment.

His true form stands here, atop the back of the Black Bird—the reason no third head appears is because his primordial form is trapped in the past.
However, Tongtian Shen has not yet fully inherited the title of Lingbao Zhizun, so there are no restrictions.

"It's troublesome"

Zhou Mu sighed inwardly. How to make the Primordial Body arrive in the present day was also a considerable problem.

Without dwelling on it too much, he quickly gathered his thoughts, stood upright, and looked around.

The Great Luo Immortals and Great Divine Power Masters of the Nine Netherworlds were trembling slightly, huddled together, while the Lord of the Blood Sea stood alone, observing from afar.
As for Shennong.

His expression was extremely gloomy; instead of being angry, he laughed.
"Northern Emperor, oh Northern Emperor, were you originally one of the Supreme Daoist's men? But..."

His gaze shifted from the young man's head to the old man's face, and he spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Fellow Daoist Taishang, it's been a long time. However, you have us seven people stationed in the mortal realm. How could we possibly leave the Tushita Palace?"

As he spoke, Shennong squinted his eyes, sniffed, and then smiled:

"As expected, Fellow Daoist Taishang's aura is nothing more than that of a mere Great Luo Immortal."

Zhu Jiuyin, Shen Tu, and the others breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Zhou Mu had four arms, two crossed in front of his chest and the other two hanging down at his sides. He had a smile on both faces and spoke in a neutral tone.

"Fellow Daoist Houtu, I intend to take over the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Do you wish to stop me?"

"Fellow Daoist Taishang is well willing to give it a try."

Shennong stretches his muscles and bones:

"Fellow Daoist Taishang possesses great supernatural powers, and even a Great Luo body likely has unfathomable abilities. However, with Shen Tu, Zhu Jiuyin, and Zhen Yuanzi joining forces, can you truly overcome this challenge?"

He exuded absolute confidence; the gap between a Great Luo Immortal and a Great Supernatural Power was simply too vast.
Even if it is said to be a transformation of the Supreme One, with the body of a Great Luo, it might be able to defeat an ordinary Great Divine Power user, but against a top-level Great Divine Power user, it would be good enough if it could even contend with them.

Let alone three people?

The key is
A strange light flickered in Shennong's eyes.

at the same time.

The two-headed, four-armed being remained calm, seemingly facing a group of Great Luo Immortals and Great Supernatural Powers alone, yet remained indifferent, before speaking:
"Although Fellow Daoist Houtu is suppressed under my Daoist robe, I suppose she still has some tricks up her sleeve? At this moment, that trick is in the hands of Shennong?"

Shennong frowned, then nodded calmly:
“What you say, Fellow Daoist Taishang, is correct. Why not just give up now?”

His expression was solemn and confident. In fact, it wasn't just Houtu; all seven supreme beings who had been suppressed under the treasures by Laozi were also included.
Which one doesn't have a backup plan? Which one hasn't secretly released even a trace of power into the outside world?

Well, Buddha probably didn't—the deposed Jade Emperor dug it up and handed it over to the [Primordial Taoist].

"In that case, shall we give it a try?"

As Zhou Mu spoke, his two heads, one old and one young, suddenly sat down cross-legged and his four hands reached out as if the sky were collapsing!
His two hands encompass all the heavens and myriad worlds of this world, and his two hands hold the stars of the universe. At this moment, countless beings are chanting, and everything that exists and does not exist floats and sinks in his eyes!

Four palms struck Shen Tu, who was visibly shocked. Despite being a strike from a Great Luo Immortal, it made him feel an intense sense of danger!

"change!"

Shen Tu upholds the Six Paths of Reincarnation, from which a giant fist emerges, carrying the immense power of the Nine Netherworlds, intent on obliterating all realms!
then.

The myriad worlds that Zhou Mu held in his hands were truly obliterated. The world outside trembled, and one powerful being after another, who remained in the chaotic void, turned around in astonishment to see countless worlds cracking, shattering, and vanishing!

They all turned to look at the vast天地 (heaven and earth), and Erlang Zhenjun was terrified:

What is happening within this world?

Not far away, the ancestral Kunpeng, with its wings outstretched endlessly, stood solemnly:

“A battle raged between beings in the vast天地 (heaven and earth), affecting all the worlds beyond this realm. Now, all those worlds have perished!”

As he spoke, this oldest being, renowned throughout ancient history, glanced sideways, gazing upon the shattered heavens and myriad worlds.
In the immeasurable world, all civilizations and living beings will face their ultimate end, returning to nothingness along with the world!
"Who is fighting?" Guanyin Bodhisattva murmured. Although he was a Bodhisattva, he held an extremely high position, belonging to the top tier of the Great Luo, and was extremely close to the realm of the Supreme Being.

A person with great supernatural powers can also be called a supreme being.

On the other side, the Great Daoist Xuandu raised his eyelids, and his words fell like divine pronouncements:

"I smelled Master's aura, and...Nine Netherworlds?"

The powerful beings lingering in the chaos all paled, and the Ancestral Qilin pawed its hooves uneasily.
"Supreme Lord, you've made a move against the Nine Netherworld?"

"Is it a conflict between the Supreme Being and the Earth Goddess?"

No one answered, but some creatures subconsciously turned their gaze to the strongest being here—the former Northern Emperor.

However, the previous Northern Emperor simply lowered his eyes and did not look at the vast world, nor did he look at the myriad realms that had been shattered into a brilliant sea.

He simply lowered his head and eyelids silently, as if pondering something, or perhaps lost in thought about the past and future.

...............

At this moment, in the netherworld, the unjustly dead reside atop the city wall.

"What a tragedy!"

Zhou Mu looked at the worlds in his hands being obliterated by the Six Paths, and watched countless civilizations and beings perish, and sighed softly.

“Young friend, you have committed a great sin and should bear the heavy karmic consequences.”

His face remained expressionless. The young man raised his head and snorted, summoning the ancient stars of the heavens to smash towards Shen Tu.

The old head's eyes shone brightly, like two great golden lamps, as if it were discerning something!
"Suffer!"

Shennong's expression suddenly changed, and he wanted to intervene, but it was too late.

The powerful beings present seemed to have noticed something and glanced sideways. Shen Tu, holding the Six Paths of Reincarnation, shattered countless ancient stars. His long hair flew wildly, his imperial robes billowed, and he appeared unparalleled in divine martial prowess, shouting:

"Now that I have become the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, I am your Supreme Lord. In terms of rank, I am no less than you! You should address me as Fellow Daoist!"

As he spoke, Shen Tu pierced through the past and present with a single finger, suppressing the stars in the heavens. In his radiant state, he noticed that many fellow Daoists were looking at him with strange and horrified eyes.

He suddenly felt that he was somewhat 'light'.

My body became very light—not in weight, but in weight.

It refers to the weight or significance of the present moment.

Shen Tu looked down at himself, bewildered, and saw only that he was gradually becoming transparent.

"Why?" he asked, looking at the [Supreme One].

Zhou Mu did not answer; his aged face was devoid of joy or sorrow, utterly indifferent. It was Shennong who spoke first.

"The Supreme Daoist uses friendly methods."

Shennong coldly said:
"The past and future of Shen Tu have been forcibly deleted. Shen Tu is still there, but in the present, there will be no trace of him."

Shen Tu wanted to speak, his mouth opened, but no sound came out; the sound gradually faded until it disappeared completely.

It seems to have never happened.

Indeed, it has never happened.

The master of the City of the Wrongfully Dead became Cai Yulei. In every 'one second before' moment, Shen Tu remained unchanged, and in every 'next second after' moment, Shen Tu was also unharmed.
But precisely at this very moment, in this very instant.

Shen Tu will never appear.

He can never reach or even set foot in the present.

"I never expected this, I never expected this."

Shennong's expression returned to calm, and he said lightly:

"I never imagined that even an incarnation of the Supreme Daoist would bear a [moral status] and govern the [present]. What a pity."

He glanced at the many terrified and powerful individuals, a mocking smile flashing across his face:
"Fellow Daoist, despite your meticulous planning, you have failed at the last hurdle today."

"Fellow Daoist, haven't you considered this? Your vision and your actions are limited to the present. After Shen Tu disappears from the present, he will only exist in the past and future—fellow Daoist, wouldn't you be forever unable to reach Shen Tu?"

Shennong burst into laughter:

"Furthermore, the Three Pure Ones have already been separated, so you, fellow Daoist, will not be able to see the Primordial Beginning, and your efforts to build the Lingbao Temple will be in vain!"

Zhen Yuanzi, standing some distance away, looked somewhat strange, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Without seeing the Primordial Beginning, one cannot even hope to glimpse the Spiritual Treasure?"

Zhou Mu spoke calmly, a slight smile appearing on his aged face:
Why should I see myself?

Shennong's laughter stopped abruptly, a hint of surprise appearing on his face:

"What do you mean?"

The only answer he received was a single finger.

Zhou Mu single-handedly rebuilt the heavens and recreated all worlds, gathering countless ages in his fingertips, and nailed them down!
