Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 165 [Different Paths, Same Destination: Deviant Beliefs] (Please Subscribe)
Although the Heaven-Opening Seal is named after the creation of heaven and earth, it is not simply a method for creating heaven and earth, but rather represents the ambition of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to defy the laws of Pangu.

The purpose of elucidating, observing, and acting in accordance with the Way of Heaven is not to explain the Way of Heaven, but to analyze the Way of Heaven in order to achieve the state of controlling Heaven's destiny for one's own use.

In this respect, it is very similar to the second stage of Xuan Yin Law Dao, "Changing Heaven and Changing the Way", which can also be called replacing Heaven's will with one's own heart and Heaven's Way with one's own way, so that the general trend of Heaven's Way follows one's own will.

Did Yuanshi Tianzun intend to represent Heaven?

No!

He wants to reverse the proof of Pangu!

For the vast majority of beings in the Primordial True Realm, the Heavenly Dao, which governs the rules, may be the heaven itself. But for the Heavenly Dao Saints who are eternally present with the heaven, coexist with the Dao, and are indestructible through countless eons, only Pangu, who created the world, is the heaven that stands above them.

To reverse the course of Pangu and replace him was the greatest ambition in the heart of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Of course, he was not the only one with this ambition; Laozi of Taiqing had the same. This is why there are so many legends of the Primordial Heavenly King creating the world or Laozi creating the world in the myriad realms and endless time and space.

Therefore, the creation of heaven and earth is merely a manifestation of the Heaven-Opening Seal; replacing the old rules with new ones is the fundamental principle of this seal technique.

The Jade Void lineage possesses the Nine Primordial Seals, which embody the Dao through artifacts. This seal method corresponds precisely to the Pangu Banner, which originated from the Divine Axe of Creation.

Xuan Yin seemed to have realized something: "What a magnificent Heaven-Opening Seal, what a magnificent Pangu Banner! Opening the heavens is just the surface; replacing the heavenly way with one's own is the core!"

Only by mastering this seal can one be qualified to reside in Pangu, learn the Wuji Seal and the Dao Yi Seal, and thus lay the foundation for attaining the Dao Fruit of Pangu.

By mastering this seal, one masters the remaining six seals of the Nine Seals of the Primordial Beginning.

"Open the sky!"

Among the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning, the creation of heaven and earth is the cause, and the overturning of heaven and earth is the effect. The creation and destruction of the world is the greatest cause and effect in the endless timeline of the Primordial True Realm.

With a thought from Xuan Yin, the grand vision of creation—the Dao giving birth to one, one giving birth to two, two giving birth to three, and three giving birth to all things—transformed into a cataclysmic upheaval that annihilated the three realms.

Overturning heaven and earth, shattering the universe with a single palm, the birth and death of the Great Dao within and beyond the Three Realms are all in the palm of one's hand.

This is the Heaven-Turning Seal.

However, as Xuan Yin opened a new world, the Great Dao of Time and Space, Yin and Yang, Four Symbols, and Five Elements gradually evolved, and he successively mastered the Void Seal, Yin and Yang Seal, Four Symbols Seal, Wuji Seal, and Yuanxin Seal.

"Having mastered the Heaven-Opening Seal, one can open up space and time, thus obtaining the Void Seal. The differentiation of Yin and Yang gives rise to the Yin-Yang Seal. Furthermore, Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols, thus obtaining the Four Symbols Seal. Earth (戊己) is located at the center of heaven and earth, and is the most important link in the Five Elements. It can balance the Four Symbols and regulate the Five Elements!"

"This is the essence of the Wuji Seal!"

"As for the Yuanxin Seal, its corresponding magic treasure is the Fallen Soul Bell, which represents the origin of the spirituality of all things and can easily influence the consciousness of cultivators!"

"Buy one get six free! Once you learn the Heaven-Opening Seal, you'll naturally be able to master the remaining six seal techniques!"

"This wave is not a loss!"

A sense of pride flashed through Xuan Yin's mind. Just as he was about to take a look at the Dao Yi Seal and the Wuji Seal, a brand fell directly towards him.

Comprehending the Heaven-Opening Seal means that Xuan Yin has the qualifications to become the second generation of Primordial Beginning.

But this is not what he wants.

He still bears the mark of the second-generation Rahu and has already traveled some distance; he doesn't want to inexplicably bear the karma of the second-generation Primordial Lord.

If he were to truly inherit it, not to mention his second senior uncle, the Twelve Golden Immortals would absolutely go mad and regard him as an enemy of the Great Dao who would seize their foundation.

"not good!"

Seeing this, Xuan Yin did not hesitate at all. He directly annihilated this consciousness and severed the causal link between himself and the Universal Knowledge Space.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun is the cause of all results, and with Xuan Yin's current strength, he does not yet have the ability to completely sever the cause and effect in front of him.

"Don't come over here!"

On Jin'ao Island, seeing the brand that was relentlessly pursuing him, Xuan Yin did not hesitate at all and directly entered the Yu Yu Heaven of the Tongtian Sect Master.

This is the Great Luo Heaven created by the Tongtian Sect Master, and it is also a reflection of his Great Dao. He doesn't believe that the imprint of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable can still be traced here.

Boom!

The Primordial Imprint descended, immediately triggering Yu Yutian's automatic defense mechanism, and the overwhelming spiritual treasure Daoist aura crashed directly towards him.

"The Way cannot be discussed!"

Lingbao Tianzun unleashed a sword strike from the final calamity, severing cause and effect, altering fate and cutting off destiny, directly annihilating the second generation Yuanshi imprint in the void.

This is the second sword in the Nine Swords of Heaven-Slaying, the sword of cause and effect, and also the sword of destiny, specifically designed to counter supernatural powers of cause and effect and destiny.

In an instant, cause and effect were severed, and destiny was rewritten. The cause and effect belonging to the Heavenly Seal and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable were completely erased from endless time and space.

The Tongtian Sect Leader naturally sensed the changes in Yu Yu Tian as well. After confirming that Xuan Yin was safe and sound, he looked towards the direction of Yu Xu Palace and asked, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, are you planning to intercept my disciple?"

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly came from the void, but there was no further response.

In fact, even the Primordial Celestial Venerable did not expect that Xuan Yin would suddenly comprehend the Heaven-Opening Seal, triggering the Primordial Imprint he left in the Universal Knowledge Space.

The Twelve Golden Immortals were also startled upon sensing the change in the Sage's emotions, and they all wondered what had just happened.

The actions of these disciples naturally did not escape the notice of Yuanshi Tianzun. His gaze slowly swept over the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and during this process, he lingered on Yu Ding Zhenren for a few more moments.

At this moment, an aura belonging to the "Slaying the Dao to See Me" of the Nine Swords of Heaven-Slaying lingered on Jade Cauldron True Man's body in the auspicious clouds above his head.

Clearly, he had a very profound understanding of this supernatural power.

"What kind of situation is this?" Even Yuanshi Tianzun, a saint, couldn't help but feel a little helpless. The disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu almost became the second generation of Yuanshi, while his disciple had the possibility of becoming the second generation of Lingbao.

Although Jade Cauldron Immortal has only comprehended one sword technique so far, Primordial Heavenly Venerable knows that the other party has only stepped into the Myriad Realms Trading Platform once.

If one comes a few more times and studies the sword techniques more, it might actually attract the imprint of a spiritual treasure.

"It's so much easier to work under my elder brother's tutelage!"

Thinking of this, he looked at everyone in the hall and sighed softly, "Just now, Xuan Yin of the Jie Sect has comprehended the Opening Heaven Seal of the Nine Seals of the Primordial Beginning. However, he gave up the Primordial Beginning Imprint! If you don't work harder, and he proves himself as the second generation Primordial Beginning, then my Chan Sect will truly become a laughing stock in the Primordial Realm!"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Guang Chengzi, in particular, showed an expression of disbelief. Among the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, he had fought Xuan Yin the most times.

Back then, when Xuan Yin was fighting with him, he used the Eye of Truth and the Secret of Fighting to learn some of the true meaning of the Heaven-Turning Seal that Xuan Yin used.

But now, the teacher actually said that Xuan Yin has mastered the Heaven-Opening Seal, which none of them have mastered.

Who exactly is a disciple of the Chan Sect?

“Is that right?”

Chi Jingzi was also inwardly grumbling: "Why is a disciple of the Jie Sect not learning the Nine Swords of Intercepting Heaven, but instead learning the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning?"

Master Yu Ding quickly calmed down and even had the idea of ​​seeking advice from Xuan Yin.

His understanding of "cutting through the path to see myself" is not a technique of attack, but a method that directly points to the true self, emphasizing self-awareness and spiritual breakthrough.

The news that Xuan Yin had mastered the Heaven-Opening Seal did not affect his Dao heart.

I was just a little shocked!

He knew that Xuan Yin was a disciple of the Jie Sect, destined to inherit the mantle of the Tongtian Sect Master, and was most likely not interested in becoming the second generation of Yuanshi.

This can be seen from what Yuanshi Tianzun just said. He could try to have a conversation with him about the Dao.

How did the other party comprehend the Heaven-Opening Seal? Is it possible to replicate their method?
He also knew that the Chan and Jie sects would inevitably fight in the future, but right now, the war had not yet started and had not reached the point of mutual destruction.

"To seek the truth, paying a price, even sacrificing one's dignity, is worthwhile!"

Huanglong Zhenren shared the same idea as Yuding Zhenren. He and Julusun were both among the Twelve Golden Immortals who mainly cultivated the Wuji Seal.

However, neither of them received the approval of Yuanshi Tianzun for their use of the Wuji Seal, nor did Yuanshi Tianzun bestow the apricot-yellow flag symbolizing the Wuji Seal upon either of them.

He also knew about the events of those twenty eras, and he felt that if he didn't want to stagnate, he had to make some changes!

"I want to make progress so much!"

……

Before long, Xuan Yin received a message from Zhao Gongming, saying that Yu Ding and Huang Long of the Chan Sect wanted to meet with Xuan Yin.

"interesting!"

At this moment, Xuan Yin is still in Yu Yu Tian, ​​trying to comprehend the Nine Swords of Intercepting Heaven.

Although he hadn't grasped anything before, after comprehending the Heaven-Opening Seal and seeing the "Dao Cannot Be Discussed" from the Nine Swords of Heaven-Slaying of Lingbao Heaven Venerable, he gained some new insights in the darkness.

Although the two sages followed different paths and held vastly different philosophies, they still shared many commonalities in terms of supernatural powers.

For example, Yuanshi Tianzun is the cause of all results, Dao Yi Yin is the ultimate of the Dao of cause and effect, and Tongtian Jiaozhu created the opposite "Dao cannot be discussed", which is a supernatural power specifically for cause and effect and destiny.

The Primordial Heavenly Venerable's Primordial Heart Seal can influence the true spirit and Dao heart of others, while the Tongtian Sect Master's "Severing the Dao to See Me" is specifically designed to help people strengthen their Dao heart.

The Tongtian Sect Leader is the one who brings about the end of heaven and earth. Among the Nine Seals of the Primordial Beginning created by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, there is also the Heaven-Turning Seal that corresponds to the end of heaven and earth and the final calamity.

"These two sages are both rivals and friends on the path; they can reflect each other!"

Xuan Yin looked at the mark of the Nine Swords of Heaven-Slaying, lost in thought, and directly verified it with the seal method created by Yuanshi Tianzun in Yu Yu Tian.

The Nine Swords of the Tongtian Sect Leader are: "Slaying the Dao to See Myself," which points directly to one's true nature; "The Dao Cannot Be Discussed," which can sever cause and effect and break fate; "The Dao Has No Ages," which contains the power of time and space; "All Things Become the Dao," which symbolizes the ultimate change and also the ultimate killing; "The Dao Spreads Throughout the Universe," which is all-encompassing and omnipresent; "The Dao Leaves a Line," which cuts off a sliver of life for all beings in the Primordial True Realm; "The Dao is Born and the Dao is Destroyed," which combines destruction and creation; "Deviating from the Scriptures," which can arbitrarily distort the rules; and "All Heavens Have No Dao," which symbolizes the end of heaven and earth.

Although Xuan Yin's sword heart was not clear enough to resonate with its true meaning, it was not difficult for him to see the mystery of each sword move.

At this moment, as he verified with the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning, he resonated with the "the Dao cannot be discussed" and "deviant of the Dao" in the Nine Swords of Heavenly Interception.

The former goes without saying, as he had just severed his karmic ties with the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

However, the ability to "deviant the way" and distort the rules, the second stage of his Dao of Law, and the profound mysteries of the Great Dao contained in the Primordial Heavenly Venerable's Heaven-Opening Seal have many things in common.

"Sometimes, the one who understands you best is not yourself, but your opponent!"

Xuan Yin suddenly realized: "My alteration of the heavens and the way of heaven, my teacher's unorthodox ways, and that second senior uncle's substitution of his own heart for the will of heaven and his own way for the way of heaven are all applications of the rules, and they all lead to the same goal!"

After comprehending the Nine Seals of Primordial Beginning, the Nine Swords of Heaven-Slaying, which he had previously found extremely obscure, became much easier to understand than before.

In just a short while, he comprehended the profound meaning of the Dao in two of the sword techniques.

However, he did not completely copy the Dao of the two sages, but instead fused the Dao of the two sages into a completely new divine power.

[The Way Reverses Heaven]

This supernatural power is a power that distorts the rules, and it also corresponds to the Qian position of the Eight Trigrams, which can completely reverse the rules within a domain.
