Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 944 Reconciling Life and Death
The twenty-four solar terms are turned upside down, half a circle forward, half a circle backward. This year's solar terms in the prehistoric world can be said to be completely messed up. The sun is shining brightly in winter, and there are hail and heavy snow in summer. Lao Zhao is exhausted, but the key is that he has not succeeded yet.

"I will definitely succeed this time! I have already grasped the essence of it!" Old Zhao said confidently.

Except for the two sisters, the others kept silent and watched his performance quietly.

Qiongxiao's realm is still low. When he was at his strongest in the past, he could only reach the realm of the initial Taiyi Golden Immortal. That was basically the result of relying on massive resources and Yunxiao's strict supervision. He has little subjective initiative, little interest in practicing Taoism, and is even more unwilling to think about the truth behind it.

Without Yunxiao's urging, she and Bixiao would have been the standard template for prehistoric free-spirited immortals, obsessed with eating, drinking, having fun, singing, and dancing. Cultivation? Who would cultivate? They already had immortality, so why cultivate?

The sky is different.

Not only did she have to practice herself, but she also had to take care of her two younger sisters along the way. At this moment, she could see that Zhao Gongming was not being sincere, and she frowned slightly.

Practicing Taoism is a very selfish thing. Zhao Gongming is her elder brother, so she cannot force him with the same attitude as she used to treat Qiongxiao and Bixiao.

After Lao Zhao broke through to the Golden Immortal realm, she stopped caring about him. "They're all Quasi-Sages now. Hurry up and figure out how to kill corpses. Do you still need a younger sister like me to urge you on?" Afterwards, upon Moonlight's invitation, she followed him to the Cloud Realm. If it weren't for the Dragon Clan causing trouble, she wouldn't have returned yet.

She thought that since Lao Zhao had broken through a long-standing bottleneck, he should strike while the iron is hot. But now it seems that is not the case at all. After such a long time of breakthrough, you haven't practiced at all, right?

Deng Chanyu's voice echoed in her heart: "Give your brother more time. His understanding of time and the Dao is different from yours."

If you know Yun Xiao's past, you'll find that this female immortal behaves very much like a time traveler, the kind of time traveler who is chased by a dog, constantly cultivating and leveling up, striving to reach the level of Taiyi after reaching the level of Jinxian, and then achieving the level of Daluo after breaking through Taiyi.
After becoming a Golden Immortal and a Taiyi Golden Immortal, Deng Chanyu rested for a long time, thinking about nothing and doing nothing, just living a dissolute life.

She was influenced by the lazy style of the prehistoric world. This is the general environment. You can't say that the prehistoric immortals love to practice just because you see Haotian and Yunxiao practicing desperately. In fact, 99% of the prehistoric immortals don't have much sense of urgency. It is normal for them to travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening.

The qualifications of Manjushri and Samantabhadra are actually not inferior to those of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and they entered the profession at about the same time, but they just lack a sense of urgency, which is why they lag far behind.

Yunxiao's aptitude is high, and her roots are extraordinary, but there are those with greater aptitude and foundation than her. How many of the Xuanmen disciples are Quasi-Sages? Xuandu, Nanji, and Duobao—these three brothers happen to be the three most senior disciples of the Three Pure Ones. Then there's Yunxiao. As an outer disciple, she carries Qiongxiao and Bixiao with her. Her realm surpasses that of the direct disciple, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, simply because she's incredibly hardworking and has a firm heart.

At this time, Deng Chanyu advised her not to use her own standards to demand her brother.

"Don't put pressure on him. This thing is not difficult. Once you master the trick, it will be quick later." She said earnestly.

after one day.

Deng Chanyu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. She completely forgot what she said before and complained to Yunxiao: "You, the eldest brother, are too weak! How about I go to mend the sky first? The immortals over there have suffered heavy casualties." This time it was Yunxiao who persuaded her, I know you are very anxious, but don't be anxious, wait a little longer, and hold on.

Old Zhao's side is not doing well, not to mention Yunxiao is anxious, even Tongtian Sect Master who is far away in Yu Yutian is anxious.

Deng Chanyu said it was not difficult, which was indeed a bit of an exaggeration. The power of time is not so easy to control. Guanyin Bodhisattva has an extraordinary understanding, but she can only use the water from all lakes and four seas in the jade bottle to attract the water from the Milky Way, and then bring out some lingering echoes in the long river of time.

What Old Zhao is doing now is a hundred times more difficult than what Guanyin Bodhisattva is doing, but this difficulty is aimed at the Golden Immortal. When it comes to the Quasi-Sage stage, it is no longer an immortal, but a saint. The means that can be used and the world that can be seen are completely different. Deng Chanyu, the "Quasi-Sage who killed two corpses", thinks that Old Zhao is procrastinating, and Tongtian Sect Master feels even more ashamed.

It’s not a big deal. I’ve been working on it for so long. Won’t other saints laugh at me?
Patriarch Tongtian silently separated a strand of his divine consciousness and personally came down to give instructions.

"It's done! It's done!" Zhao Gongming shouted excitedly.

With Yunxiao's various hints and Tongtian's secret assistance, he finally reversed the twenty-four solar terms and successfully grasped a trace of the power of time. If Hongjun did not restrict the Avenue of Time, Lao Zhao could actually practice the Avenue of Time from now on.

Old Zhao had no expectations for his future. This was the end of his life. It didn't matter whether the Heavenly Dao forbade the Avenue of Time or not. A rotating halo with a spot of light suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand. It seemed to be colorful, but when he looked closely, he found that he couldn't accurately tell the color of the spot of light.

Zhao Gongming successfully grasped the power of time, and the rest of the work was much easier.

Deng Chanyu had "studied" in the Taoist world, and her understanding of the Tao was almost catching up with her "real realm". At least when she talked about her feelings and experiences in the Tao, Yunxiao, the quasi-saint who could kill a corpse, was stunned.

Deng Chanyu’s brain understands, but her body often doesn’t.

Yunxiao is just the opposite. Through hard training and life-and-death struggles, her body can understand the great Dao, but her brain does not understand it, and her understanding of the great Dao is still very one-sided, so she needs to rely on the inheritance of the Yunzhong Realm for indirect evidence and inspiration.

"You come first, and I will cooperate with you." Yunxiao said.

The way to reconcile life and death is that life cannot suppress death, and death cannot suppress life. This is an extremely delicate task. Normally, life and death transform into each other with the flow of time, as one decreases, the other increases. Now that Zhao Gongming has captured the power of time, life and death have stagnated. This is their opportunity to take action.

Deng Chanyu had absorbed the way of death in the past, and now a golden spiral ball of light appeared in the palm of her hand.

Yunxiao was a little surprised. As a quasi-saint, she could see many things. Death energy was normally a gathering of negative energy, mostly black and gray. The golden death energy with a sacred aura was simply unimaginable.

When she was fighting the Snow Phoenix before, she felt that Deng Chanyu's understanding of the Dao was very high. Now looking at it again, it is more than just high, are you cheating?
