I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 432 The Identity of Another Daluo
"Who are you, Senior? Why are you coming to my Shuiyue Temple? Who is this lawless cat? You are Senior Jiangchuan!"

Two nuns flew in front of Jiang Chuan. One of them was horrified when she saw the Purple Cloud Ancestor on Jiang Chuan's shoulder.

"I came to Shuiyue Temple today to visit the headmaster, Master Qiuyu. Please go and tell her."

"Yes Yes."

The two nuns nodded hurriedly like millet pecking at rice, and then flew into Piaoyun Mountain without looking back.

Ancestor Ziyun looked puzzled: "Am I so scary?"

"Except for those four or five people in the Qingyuan Realm, which of the three do you take seriously?" Jiang Chuan followed the nun and flew into Piaoyun Mountain. He felt that Patriarch Ziyun had no idea how terrible his reputation was.

Before Jiangchuan flew into Piaoyun Mountain, a golden Buddha light flew out from it and transformed into Yueyan, who was wearing white clothes and had hair like clouds, and appeared in front of Jiangchuan.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, it's been a long time since we last met. How come you have time to come to my Shuiyue Temple today?"

Jiang Chuan replied, "Fellow Daoist Yueyan, I came to Shuiyue Temple today to ask Master Qiuyu something."

"Amitabha! Daoist Fellow Jiang's visit to Shuiyue Temple truly brings honor to the humble abode."

Nun Qiuyu's voice rang out of nowhere, followed by a brilliant golden light that descended from the mist-covered hall on the mountaintop to the foot of Jiangchuan.

"You are too polite, Fellow Daoist Qiuyu."

Jiang Chuan took a step forward and appeared in front of the hall on the top of the mountain.

The magnificent hall seems to be carved from huge golden jade. Every brick and tile is shining with golden Buddha light, sacred and transcendent.

"Is this the Shuiyue Palace, the supreme Taoist artifact left behind by the Shuiyue Bodhisattva? It is indeed extraordinary."

Nun Qiuyu, wearing a kapok monk's robe, stood in front of the main hall and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, please come in."

Jiang Chuan nodded and followed Master Qiuyu and Yue Yan into the hall.

After the host and the guests were seated, Nun Qiuyu spoke first, "I wonder why Daoist Jiang Daoist came to my Shuiyue Temple today specifically to ask me something?"

"Master Qiuyu once reminded me to abandon the Jiuxiao Tower to avoid future fatal disasters."

Jiang Chuan's eyes flickered with reminiscence. "I got the Jiuxiao Pagoda from Wan Shanhe, and I've never told anyone about it. It was refined by the Taichi Immortal King. How did Nun Qiuyu know that? Or is Wan Shanhe actually your son?"

"Amitabha!"

Nun Qiuyu smiled bitterly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang guessed correctly. Wan Shanhe is indeed my son."

"Master, you...you actually have a son?!" Yue Yan was also surprised.

"Master Wan Qiangu stopped the nun from continuing speaking that day. If my guess is correct, Wan Shanhe should be the son of the nun and Master Wan, right?" Although Jiang Chuan's words were a question, his tone was extremely certain.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang guessed correctly. Wan Shanhe is the son of Wan Qiangu and me."

Nun Qiuyu nodded slightly, a complex expression in her eyes. "Qian Gu and I are close friends. I have obtained a treasure map left behind by the Tai Chi Immortal King. I can obtain his Taoist tradition and treasures, but the place where the Tai Chi Immortal King left his Taoist tradition and treasures is near Huanmeng Mountain."

"The Northern Territory was still the territory of the demon tribe at that time. I felt it was a bit risky, so I asked Qiangu to go with me."

"Qian Gu gladly accepted and went with me. After going through countless hardships, we finally found the Taoist tradition and treasures left behind by the Tai Chi Immortal King, and also met the Tai Chi Immortal King's incarnation."

"The Tai Chi Immortal King hopes that we will bear him a child, to serve as his avatar when he descends into the Qing Yuan Realm, to help him fight for the fortune of the Qing Yuan Realm."

"Although Qian Gu and I are close friends, we have no intention of becoming Dao companions. I wanted to decline the offer, but he was attracted by the fortune accumulated by the Shanhai Dao Sect over the centuries."

"The Immortal Venerable of Mountains and Seas possessed supreme cultivation. After the Medieval War, he also broke through to the twelfth realm before ascending to the Immortal Realm. During the Medieval Period, he fortuitously obtained a rare treasure, the Golden Luck Pool, once refined by the Immortal Emperor of the Starry Sky. The pool's sole function was to absorb the Luck of the deceased and store it."

Rabbit sighed, "The Starry Sky Immortal Emperor is indeed a peak-level thirteenth realm being, to be able to refine such a rare treasure!"

Jiang Chuan also had to admit that the peak of the Thirteenth Realm was indeed terrifying.

Luck and destiny combined into one is destiny.

Even in many ancient books, fate is called innate destiny and luck is called acquired destiny.

When luck changes, destiny will change.

It is not difficult for the Immortal King to extract a person's luck, but the refined treasure has this ability.
At the very least, Jiang Chuan believed that the rare treasure he refined should be unable to drain away luck.

After all, changing one's fate is against the will of heaven, and how could heaven be so easy to defy?

"The Shanhai Dao Sect knew that the two realms were about to merge, so they opened the Golden Luck Pool, which had accumulated luck for tens of millions of years. This massive luck was then combined with the Shanhai Dao Sect to give birth to the Son of the Qingyuan Realm, who would unify the three realms and lead the cultivators of the three realms to fight against the Xiantian God Clan."

Nun Qiuyu sighed softly, "But all of this ultimately served the purpose of benefiting the Immortal King Taichi."

Nun Qiuyu didn't say anything else, but Jiangchuan already understood what had happened.

It should be Taichi. To be more precise, it should be the Immortal Emperor Zang who was hiding behind the Immortal King Taichi. He cast a spell to absorb the luck accumulated by the Shanhai Dao Sect for thousands of years, and gave it to the Wanshan River, which was born with his own original energy through the hands of Master Qiuyu and Wan Qiangu.

"No wonder that day in front of the Shangcang Mausoleum, the Wanzhang Sect said that only death could be worthy of our ancestors. However, I think it's not just the Shanhai Dao Sect that suffered losses, right?"

"In fact, Shuiyue Temple didn't suffer any losses. It was just that Tai Chi Immortal King planned it."

Nun Qiuyu recounted the plan of the Taichi Immortal King: "According to the Taichi Immortal King's plan, Wan Shanhe is my son. The Dark Yu Demon Lord owes karma to the human race and the Buddhist sect for his enlightenment. His lineage and treasures must be inherited by the human race and the Buddhist sect."

"Wan Shanhe was born with the luck accumulated by the Shanhai Dao Sect over tens of millions of years. As my son, he is considered a Buddhist. He must have obtained the Daoist tradition and treasures left by the Anyu Demon Lord to help him advance further. But I didn't expect you to defeat Wan Shanhe in public."

"No wonder I didn't see the monks from Shanhai Dao Sect and Shuiyue Temple on the sixth floor of the underground abyss. It turns out that the two fellow Taoists knew about this a long time ago."

Jiang Chuan immediately stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Thank you, Daoist Qiuyu, for telling me. The doubts in my heart have been resolved. Farewell."

After leaving Shuiyue Temple, Ziyun Patriarch asked in confusion, "Are Taichi Immortal King, Wanshanhe, and the others related to the other Daluo behind you?"

Jiang Chuan did not answer Patriarch Ziyun's question, but instead asked, "Patriarch, the Dark Sky Devouring Universe Sutra obtained by Demon Lord Anyu was the first immortal sutra I obtained. Do you still remember the Dark Sky Devouring Universe Sutra? What is its other name?"

"Does the Dark Sky Devouring Universe Sutra have any other name?" The big eyes of the Purple Cloud Patriarch were full of surprise.

"Another name for the Dark Sky Devouring Universe Sutra is the Wish-Fulfilling Heart Sutra."

As Jiang Chuan spoke, a piece of golden paper flew out of his Qiankun bag.

The golden paper seemed to be condensed from thousands of divine lights, like a small golden sun, emitting dazzling golden light.

A heart-shaped character with a flamboyant style is imprinted on the golden paper.

The word "heart" seems to contain a vast universe, with twinkling stars, gods and Buddhas flying across the sky, and immortals and demons shining in the world.

"Is the other Daluo behind you a Heart Sage?" Rabbit asked. "If it's not a Heart Sage, it should be a Literature Sage or a Military Sage. If my guess is correct, the Heart Sage who disappeared after the Medieval War must have died."

Jiang Chuan looked at the Heart Saint in his hand and said, "The Literature Saint and the Military Saint wanted the Heart Saint to return, so they disrupted the plan of the future Star Lord Buddha. More precisely, they wanted to seize the Bitter Sea Bow and the Other Shore Arrow."

"The two saints suppressed the Tathagata King Buddha. The Tathagata King Buddha was alone, and even with the Nirvana Banner in his hand, he could not defeat the two saints."

"The Blue Emperor has appeared, aiding the Tathagata Buddha against the Twin Saints. Furthermore, if my guess is correct, the Twin Saints should be confronting the Blue Emperor and the Tathagata Buddha. The one controlling the corpses of Cang Huan and Ta Xu Xian Emperor to stop us isn't the Twin Saints, but a disciple of the Twin Saints who has reached the Fourteenth Realm, again using the Twin Saints' weapons."

"Why are you so sure?" inquired the rabbit.

Jiang Chuan spread his hands and took out a colorful token from his Qiankun bag.

The five-colored token is only the size of a palm, with the sky carved on top and the vast earth carved below, with a word "Ke" in the middle.

The character "Ke" is written with iron and silver strokes, and every stroke seems to contain the supreme spirit that can overwhelm the heaven and earth. Any cultivator who sees this character will be shocked.

"When I saw this token in Xu Ming Xian Zong, to be honest, it was too much of a coincidence. Xin Sheng's eldest disciple is Ke Shusheng. I first got the word Xin Sheng, and then got this token that looks like Ke Shusheng. It seems suspicious in every way."

"Also, since my mother's origin was damaged, why didn't she take the Five Elements Immortal Gold Token and go to the place where Ke Shusheng was supposed to stay to look for opportunities, but instead left it to me? If this is the layout of the Fourteenth Realm, it is too crude."

Jiang Chuan looked at the token in his hand and continued, "So there's only one explanation. My growth trajectory has changed under the influence of the power given to me by the Green Emperor. And this change is so significant that it must be corrected immediately, otherwise the Twin Saints' plan will fail. Therefore, the Twin Saints' disciples returned to the past and placed this Five Elements Immortal Gold Token in the box left by my mother."

"No wonder I feel that the Daluo of the Fourteenth Realm is so fickle, wanting to kill you one moment and not the next."

Rabbit suddenly realized, "So it wasn't Daluo who made the move, but two groups of people, using the weapons of the Twin Saints, interfering with your fate. But why did the Blue Emperor help the Tathagata King Buddha?"

"You'll have to ask Qingdi about this." Jiang Chuan didn't know why Qingdi was willing to spend so much money.

Rabbit was very puzzled: "The Green Emperor even gave away a treasure like the Sky Dao Tree. Wouldn't the Buddha Tathagata sell out the Buddhist world?"

"I have a guess."

"What guess?"

Jiang Chuan said quietly, "Rabbit, where did the Infinite Lord Buddha of the World and the Future Lord Buddha of the Stars fall?"

"Isn't it the future? Wait."

The rabbit suddenly remembered what the Future Star King Buddha had said.

I passed away before you were born!

"I suspect the reason why the Infinite Buddha King and the Future Star Buddha King died is the real reason why the Blue Emperor helped the Many Treasures Tathagata Buddha King."

After hearing Jiangchuan's words, Rabbit pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

Patriarch Ziyun stared at Jiang Chuan: "So, if there hadn't been the Green Emperor's interference, Jiang Chuan, you would have practiced the Way of the Heart and eventually become a Heart Sage?"

"That's about right. If I didn't have the power of the Green Emperor, I should have obtained the Dark Sky Devouring Universe Sutra by chance, and I would have also obtained the word "Heart Saint", and received the inheritance of the Dark Universe Demon Lord, practicing the "Original Heart Demon Sutra" and cultivating the Heart Dao."

Jiang Chuan's eyes became deep, as if he saw himself in another time and space.

"After becoming an Immortal King, by another coincidence, I obtained Ke Shusheng's cave and successfully cultivated to the peak of the Immortal Emperor. I also obtained the Bitter Sea Bow and the Other Shore Arrow, and prepared to reach the Fourteenth Realm."

"When I reach the Fourteenth Realm, that will be the time for the Heart Saint to return. If my predictions are correct, I, like Wan Shanhe, should also be born from the Heart Saint's original energy, or something similar."

"This saves the time of re-refining the origin. As long as the Heart Saint returns, there will be no weak period and it will be able to be perfect immediately."

Even if his guess was correct, under the layout of the two saints, he should have traveled through time twice, traveling to Earth when he was young, and then traveling back to the Qingyuan Realm and returning to his original body.

His life experiences on Earth shaped his values, allowing him to successfully embark on the path of spiritual cultivation!
"But it was destroyed by the Green Emperor."

Rabbit paused, then continued, "But I still don't understand why they sent you back to the Middle Ages? Just to highlight the importance of the Three Saints to humanity? To influence you and make you voluntarily become a Heart Saint?"

"The Heart Saint's kindness to the human race is truly as great as a mountain, and he deserves eternal worship from the human race."

Jiang Chuan's eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness: "But my way is only mine. I am me, I am Jiang Chuan. No matter how great the Heart Sage is, I will never become a Heart Sage!"

"Even if the Sage of Literature and the Sage of War are held back by the Azure Emperor and the Buddha of Many Treasures, I doubt they will sit idly by and watch their long-planned plan fail."

Rabbit said worriedly, "Looking at the long run, it's really difficult for the Blue Emperor and the followers of the Tathagata Buddha to hold back the disciples of the Literature Saint and the Military Saint. If you really decide not to become a Heart Saint, they won't let you go."

"Even though you may not have only one copy of the Military Saint's Origin, the Heart Saint's Word, the Arrow of the Other Shore, and the Bowstring of the Sea of ​​Bitterness are all in you."

"It's unknown how many Daluo will stand in the way of the Heart Saint's return, but with the Bitter Sea Bow and the Other Shore Arrow, we can at least force back two Daluo. The disciples and students of the Twin Saints will never give up on taking them away!"

"You are right, but I will not let the Bowstring of the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Arrow of the Other Shore be taken away by the disciples of the Two Saints." Jiang Chuan looked into the distance at the endless blue ocean. His voice was calm, but there was a determination that would never change.

"You want to attain the Fourteenth Realm of Enlightenment?"

"I do want to achieve Daluo Dao, but I don't just want to achieve Daluo Dao."

Jiang Chuan's eyes gleamed with a divine light. "If there were no Green Emperor, I would be like a puppet, my fate manipulated by others. But even with the Green Emperor, they still haven't given up on controlling my fate. My Tao is my own, and what I seek is the clarity of my thoughts. If I don't find this cause and effect, how can my thoughts flow?"

"This is indeed a great opportunity for you to achieve enlightenment. If you can obtain the complete Bitter Sea Bow and the Other Shore Arrow, and then find the Qiong Cang Great Emperor Dao Fruit and merge it with the Qiong Cang Dao Tree, even if the two saints block your way, they may not be able to stop you from achieving Daluo. You may not be the highest realm below Daluo, but you have a better chance of achieving Daluo than many of those at the peak of the thirteen realms."

Rabbit said solemnly, "The Twin Saints sent you back to the Middle Ages, which means they haven't completely murdered you. Now that you've made your choice, the Twin Saints' next move will likely come soon!"

"In my life, I have fought against immortals, Buddhas, gods, demons, and monsters, and defeated geniuses and heroes. But I have never fought against a disciple of Daluo. I am looking forward to this day."

Jiang Chuan smiled coldly, with a majestic aura revealed between his brows, as if he was a supreme divine sword, about to be unsheathed, carrying invincible power, and cutting through the vastness of the universe.

"We can't even defeat the three corpses they brought. I'm afraid you will be in big trouble next." Ancestor Ziyun sighed.

Jiang Chuan didn't care at all: "It's better to die happily than to live in pain! My head is right here. If you are a disciple of the Twin Saints and have the guts, take it away!"

"Since you have made your choice, Ziyun and I will naturally help you with all our strength."

The rabbit was very distressed. "But where are the Bow of Bitter Sea and the other Arrow of the Other Shore now? The River of Time has been blocked by the disciples of the Twin Saints. I'm afraid we can no longer return to the past and seek out the Future Constellation King Buddha."

"We are looking for the future Star King Buddha. He probably doesn't know where the Twin Saints put the Bow of the Sea of ​​Bitterness and the Arrow of the Other Shore. Otherwise, he would have told us in the Middle Ages." Jiang Chuan touched his chin.

"Then where should we go to find the Bitter Sea Bow and the Other Shore Arrow?" asked Patriarch Ziyun.

Jiangchuan and Rabbit looked at each other, and then looked at Ancestor Ziyun together.

Ancestor Ziyun's face was full of confusion: "Why are you looking at me?"
