the heavens

Chapter 414
Pangu Continent, Daluo Mountain, Bajing Palace.

Taishang Daozu and Lu Fengqiu were sitting opposite each other, playing chess.

Taishang Daozu smiled and said: "Fengqiu, do you still remember when was the last time you and I played chess?"

Lu Fengqiu smiled and said, "That was before my reincarnation."

Taishang Daozu nodded and said: "When you left that time, you once told your teacher that if you can't become a saint, you will regret this life, and it's useless to stay here."

"So, you gave up your whole life and went to the Great Thousand World of Yunyun to reincarnate."

"During the period, you experienced countless kalpas and reincarnated tens of thousands of times, but you were the only one who took you back as a teacher. Do you know why?"

Lu Fengqiu heard the words, and said: "This is also a place where disciples are confused."

In his previous life, when the Great Master Xuandu was reincarnated in the multiverse, there were more than ten million incarnations.

He, Lu Fengqiu, is just the most inconspicuous, even insignificant one among the many incarnations.

Without the guidance of Taishang Daozu, without the existence of Yuquan Temple and the "Innate Fangyuan Tu", even if he is the reincarnation of the Great Master Xuandu, he may still perish in the earth.

Lu Fengqiu was able to go to this day because of his relationship with Taishang Daozu.

He is sanctified now, but he still maintains enough respect for Taishang Daozu.

A teacher for a day, a teacher for life.

Taishang Taoist Ancestor smiled and said: "Because you are very pure, seeking the Tao as a mortal, even with the help of magic weapons and foreign objects, you will inevitably take some detours on the way to pursue the Tao, but you are different. If you don’t change it, only this kind of Dao heart is enough to go further.”

"Actually, being a teacher not only helps you alone, but they are not as pure as you."

Lu Fengqiu nodded, this was in line with Taishang Daozu's method of casting a wide net, broadcasting seeds, and then striving for perfection.

If it was Lu Fengqiu, he would do the same, because the reason why he was reincarnated in the previous life was not to prove a higher Tao fruit.

Today, it just proves the vision of Taishang Daozu.

He is now sanctified, becoming a rare human saint in this multiverse.

Lu Fengqiu said: "Fengqiu will never forget Master's support and support."

Taishang Daozu smiled and said: "People say that I am too ungrateful and ruthless. In fact, it is only because I know the horror of heaven."

Lu Fengqiu said: "The way of heaven."

Taishang Daozu said: "Now, you have also been sanctified. This matter has already shocked the ancient gods and new gods in Pangu Continent."

"In the multiverse, there has been no new saint for about one Huiyuan."

"It won't be long before all forces will come to win you over. The Heavenly Court and the Three Imperial Palaces will all throw olive branches to you."

"Especially in the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Emperor will not let a human saint wander outside the Heavenly Court."

"As the incarnation of the Dao of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven has gone through countless calamities, and through many catastrophes of the Dao of Heaven, returned the gods to their place and brought all the races under the destiny of the Dao of Heaven."

"In the multiverse, how many worlds are still repeating the cycle of fate and destiny all the time."

"As the incarnation of the way of heaven, the Emperor of Heaven, from the beginning of impartial law enforcement to the present, he wants too much after all."

"From destiny to destiny."

"It is the fate of all living beings to have birth, old age, sickness and death; it is the fate of gods to have the five disasters of heaven and man; it is the fate of the universe to have formation, dwelling, and emptiness."

"To a certain extent, fate is not the will of heaven, but the will of the emperor."

"Under the way of heaven, where the destiny lies, the movement of heaven is permanent, it does not exist for Yao, and it does not perish for Jie! All living beings can control the destiny and use it!"

"However, under fate, it puts a layer of shackles on everything."

"Although today's Emperor of Heaven can't control the heads of us saints, after countless calamities, will the Emperor of Heaven gradually erode the will of the way of heaven, and will he want to become a truly supreme and unambiguous existence that controls the multiverse? possible."

"Although the universe is boundless, we, the saints, are immortal. Even if the universe is destroyed and all things wither, we can be immortal and live forever, but as long as we are still us, then we cannot wait for this moment to come."

"In the battle between the new gods and the ancient gods, the Heavenly Emperor will definitely stand on the side of the ancient gods, because he will not allow the great extinction of the universe, because once the great extinction of the universe comes, the Dao of that day will also be destroyed."

"Although the Emperor of Heaven will not die, he will lose his status as the spokesperson of the Dao of Heaven."

"Once the new universe is born, the new Heavenly Dao will have a new Heavenly Dao incarnation, which is something he cannot accept."

"The way of heaven is selfless, but the emperor of heaven is selfish."

"Fengqiu, the road has no limits, and saints are far from our end."

The words of the Taishang Daozu made Lu Fengqiu feel the horror of the Emperor of Heaven.

Indeed, after he was sanctified, when he returned to Pangu Continent, he could already feel the horror of the will of heaven in Pangu Continent.

The Pangea Continent is different from other postnatally evolved worlds of the heavens. The Pangea Continent is the original origin of the universe.

Countless ancient gods were born from here, and countless new gods became gods from here.

This is the origin of civilization. Even now that the universe has been expanded to a boundless extent, the existence and status of Pangu Continent is still unshakable.

Because here is the most terrifying power and big man in the entire universe.

Even a person like Taishang Daozu who has been sanctified for an unknown period of time is still talking about the horror of the heavens in the Pangu Continent. One can imagine how terrifying the heavens in the Pangu Continent are.

In fact, every catastrophe that occurred in this Pangu continent was a calamity determined by the way of heaven.

After Pangu opened up the world, there were three great calamities, the Lich Calamity, the Battle of Conferred Gods, and the Controversy between Buddhism and Taoism.

In the battle of the Conferred Gods, the top one becomes immortal, the middle one becomes godly, the bottom one becomes humane, and the Heavenly Emperor becomes the big winner.

After the Shang Dynasty, there was no emperor, and the Zhou Dynasty was the eldest son of the Heavenly Emperor.

In the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor wanted to live the same life as the sky and the same king as the world, and wanted to restore the honor of the emperor in ancient times, so he disdained to be the eldest son of Haotian.

The Emperor of Heaven directly suppressed the first emperor Zulong, and completely turned the world of Kyushu into a place for mortals.

At this point, in order to strengthen his rule, the Emperor of Heaven initiated the second, third, fourth, and fifth apotheosis of the gods respectively.

It's just that the strength of these five conferred gods has become weaker each time.

The second conferment of the gods was after Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty and Liu Xiu led Yuntai 28 to dominate the country.

The third conferment of the gods was at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the heroes fought for hegemony, Zhuge Liang conferred the gods after his death.

The fourth conferment of gods was at the end of Sui Dynasty and the beginning of Tang Dynasty.

The fifth conferment of gods was at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty.

These catastrophes have already passed countless times in the human world of Kyushu in the Pangu Continent.

Why can the Emperor of Heaven return the gods to their positions in countless kalpas, and make the people of Kyushu in the world fall under their fate.

It is because he is the incarnation of the way of heaven, and he is the ancient god who knows how to use the destiny of the way of heaven best.

He took advantage of catastrophe after catastrophe to bring the former monster race and human race under Haotian's control.

No one knows the way of heaven better than the emperor of heaven.

Even Nuwa, Fuxi, Queen Mother of the West, Taishang Daozu, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, these well-known big figures, dare not say that they understand the way of heaven better than the emperor of heaven.

The reason why Taishang Daozu wanted to say this to Lu Fengqiu was to remind Lu Fengqiu that he should not think that he could sit back and relax after attaining the sagehood.

As long as these saints are still in this Pangu continent, they are still under the rules of heaven.

Of course, if he feels uncomfortable, Lu Fengqiu can choose to go back to the world in the Legend of the White Snake now, because he became holy in that world.

He is invincible in that world, and he is the way of heaven in that world.

However, how many people who are fighting for the front are willing to settle down?

Anyone who is in a corner is almost stuck in a state, and can no longer make an inch.

The most frightening thing is that if you are not making progress, others are making progress.

"This is the last lesson a teacher can teach you."

"The road ahead, you have to go by yourself."

Taishang Daozu said so.

Lu Fengqiu frowned, and said, "Master, what you mean is that it's time for me to leave Daluo Mountain?"

Taishang Taoist nodded and said: "Whoever becomes a saint, who doesn't open his own dojo."

"It's Daluo Jinxian, and there are many Taiyi Jinxians who have set up dojos."

"You have stayed in Daluo Mountain for too long. If you still stay in Daluo Mountain and don't leave, you will make people laugh at me for being petty."

Lu Fengqiu nodded when he heard the words, and also understood the meaning of Taishang Daozu.

He has indeed stayed in Daluo Mountain for too long.

After all, Daluo Mountain is the dojo of Taishang Daozu. He has already been sanctified, so it is indeed inappropriate to rely on Daluo Mountain.

Lu Fengqiu said: "Master, you said earlier that besides the Heavenly Court, the Three Imperial Palaces would also give me olive branches?"

Taishang Daozu nodded slightly, and said: "Among the three palaces, the Heavenly Palace is in charge of the Great God Fuxi, and the Earthly Palace is in charge of the Empress Nuwa, but this is the only one who has been vacant for a long time."

Lu Fengqiu said in surprise, "Oh? Why?"

He hadn't paid attention to these things on Pangu Continent for a long time, so naturally he didn't know the reason.

Taishang Daozu said: "The last owner of the palace was Suihuang, but Suihuang has disappeared for many years, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"The position of the Palace Master of the Human Palace cannot remain vacant forever."

"Over the years, it's not that there are people who have the ability to run the Imperial Palace, but after all, they lack some skills."

"Now that you have been sanctified, you are naturally the best candidate for the master of the Human Palace."

"Looking at the human race in Pangu Continent, you are the only one who can get to your level among these few Huiyuan."

"It won't be long before the Great God Fuxi and Empress Nuwa will come to discuss this matter with you in person, and you will make your own decision at that time."

"As for Heavenly Court's recruitment, that's for sure."

"Although the Emperor of Heaven has done a lot in secret, he dare not offend saints like us."

"He should invite you to open a dojo in the 33rd heaven, you don't need to pay attention, as long as you get the title of heaven."

Taishang Daozu explained to Lu Fengqiu all the things that Lu Fengqiu might encounter next.

Although Lu Fengqiu couldn't be troubled by these things, Taishang Daozu still talked about it.

This shows an attitude, no matter what, they are always standing in a trench.

Lu Fengqiu kept these things in mind.

Immediately afterwards, Taishang Daozu said again: "Fengqiu, do you have any special insights into the Dao of Saints?"

Lu Fengqiu thought for a while and said, "Master, what is a special insight?"

Taishang Daozu said with a smile: "The way of the saint is different from the way of Daluo. The way of the saint pays attention to all kinds of changes, and I am the only one."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu nodded slightly, and said: "The way of a sage is that I am self-sufficient in nature and do not seek externally. Of course I know this."

"It's just that I'm still a little unclear about the tricks. After I settle everything in the future, I will retreat and study."

Taishang Daozu smiled and said: "Now the Black Lotus of Mieshi and the White Lotus of Jingshi have been obtained."

"However, the virtuous golden lotus and the karmic fire red lotus are all things with owners, and they can't move for the time being. We can only rely on us to draw them slowly."

"After the third calamity, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism, the power of Western religion has become more and more stable."

"The Tathagata Buddha has more and more power to speak in the heavenly court. The emperor of heaven is playing with the way of balance, and wants to use Buddhism to check and balance the Taoism."

"Now, once you become a saint, you break this delicate balance."

"The appearance of a saint in human religion is equivalent to the appearance of a saint in Taoism."

"So, next, the Emperor of Heaven will be more and more afraid of Taoism."

"The Tathagata is an old fox. Although he is also from the human race and is one of the representatives of the new gods, he has been enlightened for a long time. In order to develop the power of the Western religion, he flirts with the emperor of heaven. Whether we can win the vote in his hand is still in dispute. Therefore, we need to communicate as much as possible on Patriarch Styx’s side.”

"You should pay more attention to these things in the future."

Lu Fengqiu nodded slightly, and said, "I understand."

Taishang Daozu said again: "Since the creation of Pangu and the evolution of the universe, there has never been a creature above a saint in the Pangu Continent or even the multiverse."

"The way of heaven is like a sharp sword, how to go further is still a big problem before the saints."

"If some of us new saints can reach the level with the heaven, or even surpass the heaven, then our chances of winning will be too great."

"Unfortunately, this step is as difficult as reaching the sky."

Lu Fengqiu said: "In the future, there will always be someone who can take that step."

Taishang Daozu nodded and said, "Do you still remember the time when you were a teacher and transformed yourself into a Buddha?"

Lu Fengqiu said with a smile: "Naturally, I remember that at that time, my apprentice advised Master to stay a little longer, so many years have passed."

Taishang Daozu said: "Humans, immortals, Buddhas, demons, ghosts, different perspectives, different experiences, the Tao is in my heart, and knowing the enemy and ourselves, can we be invincible in all battles."

"You only see the body of the Buddha as a teacher, teaching and transforming the people, but you don't see the Tathagata as the body of the three pure, sharpening the heart of the Tao."

"Even the Emperor of Heaven has already incarnated us old guys countless times."

"In this multiverse, in many worlds, they are pretending to be the incarnation of the teacher, and the teacher is pretending to be their incarnation."

Hearing this, Lu Fengqiu couldn't help being a little stunned.

"It turns out that the Emperor of Heaven also plays Infernal Affairs."
