Chapter 513: Tens of millions of years apart, the ancestor of Tao
All of Xiaohe Niangniang's disciples became holy mothers of transcendent status, which made Jiang Changsheng look forward to Xiaohe Niangniang even more.
After tens of millions of years, she should have made great progress.
Before it was Daluo, what realm will it be next?
Jiang Changsheng thought about it and realized that he actually didn’t know how powerful Xiao and Niangniang were before. He could only be sure that Xiao and Niangniang were at least Daluo beings tens of millions of years ago.
What if Xiao and the Empress like to keep things secret just like he does?
"Senior Changsheng, please come with me. It's not easy to see you. If I neglect it, Master will blame me."
After some polite remarks, Holy Mother Qingqiu turned and said to Jiang Changsheng.
She was not interested in Shaohao and the White-Robed God, she was just doing it for the sake of face.
Jiang Changsheng hesitated, and Shaohao immediately smiled and said, "Go, the Holy Mother will definitely be able to take you to a better position."
The White-robed God said nothing, his gaze fell on Tai Shang Tian in the distance.
Since Shaohao had given him a way out, Jiang Changsheng naturally would not be stubborn and immediately said goodbye to Shaohao and the White-Robed God.
Under the guidance of the Holy Mother of Qingqiu, they flew into a loft in the sky, not far from the Supreme Heaven, at least closer than those cushions.
The arrival of the Holy Mother of Qingqiu caused quite a stir, which made Jiang Changsheng even more curious about the Holy Mother's status today.
The two men sat in meditation in the attic lobby, two feet apart.
"May I ask if Xiao and the Queen are doing well now?"
Jiang Changsheng asked. After meeting the White-robed Divine Lord, he was even more looking forward to this era.
Holy Mother Qingqiu showed a gentle smile and said, "Master is naturally fine. In order to see you again, she went to almost all the Daluo dojos, even if the other party's cultivation was not as good as hers. But she never waited for you. Recently, she wanted to attain enlightenment, so she didn't come in person, but sent me. I didn't expect to meet you in person."
Tens of millions of years ago, she and her fellow apprentice sister were very puzzled and felt that it was incomprehensible that the master cared about Jiang Changsheng.
Gradually, over the years, they were moved by their master's persistence. After experiencing their own lives, they looked back at their master's attitude and felt a soul-touching emotion. This emotion led to a change in their views on Jiang Changsheng.
They don't know Jiang Changsheng, but they hope that the master can meet Jiang Changsheng and hope that Jiang Changsheng knows the master's persistence and dedication.
The Holy Mother of Qingqiu began to talk about the Taoist ancestors that the master had visited, and mentioned the names of the powerful Daluo masters one by one. Some of these names had left traces in the Chinese legends of the previous life.
Jiang Changsheng was indeed moved. After all, this was not just one or two times, nor was it just one or two years. It was the persistence of tens of millions of years.
Actually, his relationship with Xiao and Niangniang was not very close, but it was like the friendship between gentlemen, which was as plain as water, but had an indescribable depth.
Jiang Changsheng couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had towards Xiao and the Empress. It wasn't the throbbing feelings between a man and a woman, but there was the comfort of a confidant. During the years of cultivation, he would often think of her.
This feeling is wonderful, at least he enjoys it.
Unfortunately, he is now too weak for Xiao and the Empress, and he can't give her anything in return.
After Holy Mother Qingqiu said everything she wanted to say, she felt refreshed and her thoughts became clear.
Jiang Changsheng's emotional expression also made her very satisfied. It was the reaction .
"May I ask, Holy Mother, have you ever heard of the Taoist Ancestor?" Jiang Changsheng suddenly asked.
Holy Mother Qingqiu was still immersed in her own inner world. When she heard Jiang Changsheng's question, she subconsciously answered: "Daozu? Which Daozu?"
Jiang Changsheng frowned and asked, "Are there many Dao Ancestors?"
Holy Mother Qingqiu came back to her senses and said, "Of course not, but there is indeed no Dao Ancestor. At least I have never heard of him. It is strange to say that there is no powerful person in the heavens and the myriad worlds who is called Dao Ancestor. The Great Dao has no end, so who dares to call himself Dao Ancestor?"
Jiang Changsheng felt relieved when he heard this. If many Dao Ancestors appeared, it would mean that there was a big problem.
He was about to ask again when the voice of the Supreme Heaven came:
"Everyone, the sermon is about to begin."
Tai Shangtian's tone was so firm that the noise outside the attic disappeared instantly. Jiang Changsheng didn't ask any more questions and prepared to listen attentively.
So much Taoist cause and effect value cannot be wasted.
Holy Mother Qingqiu also began to concentrate. Although she came here with a mission from her master, she did not want to miss the opportunity to listen to the teachings.
"There are three thousand great ways. I am not talking about the three thousand innate great ways, but about the creation of the way."
Tai Shangtian's words made Jiang Changsheng's eyes light up.
His current confusion is that the power of the Great Dao he has mastered seems to be able to be cultivated infinitely. However, because he can't see the end, he can't find an opportunity to break through.
If it is the creation of the Tao, then the formation of the Tao is staged.
If rules can be established, why can’t the great principles be established?
Jiang Changsheng still remembers the uncertain rules that Ping An mastered, which are the rules created by the environment.
Tai Shangtian’s preaching officially began, and his voice pulled all the listeners into a state of enlightenment.
Compared with his previous sermons, this time, Jiang Changsheng entered a mysterious state, and his consciousness seemed to float in a colorful and flowing space.
"The heaven and earth were created by the Tao and destroyed by the Tao. The Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. All things can also be transformed into one, and three thousand return to one. The law is the Tao, the soul is the law, and the cultivator of the Tao is the Heavenly Dao..."
While Jiang Changsheng was comprehending the power of the Great Dao that he possessed, he was also trying to understand what Tai Shangtian said.
After the initial general introduction, Tai Shang Tian began to talk about how he integrated the Tao, from the birth of ideas to practice. In this process, he passed on his Tao to all listeners.
Time flies.
Jiang Changsheng was so immersed in listening to the sermon that he forgot everything.
Even at his current level, he still feels excited about coming into contact with new things. It has to be said that Tai Shangtian is very strong.
Just talking about preaching, Jiang Changsheng felt that Tai Shangtian was stronger than all the previous masters of the Taoist temple.
In the attic, rays of light emanated from Jiang Changsheng's body. Each ray of light had many nodes, as if connected in series with stars. These rays of light surrounded his body, and the speed slowly increased.
Next to her, the image of the Holy Mother of Qingqiu had blossomed, even causing lotus flowers of various colors to grow in the hall. However, these lotus flowers did not touch the light around Jiang Changsheng, and the two sides maintained a certain distance.
Outside the attic.
Tai Shangtian sat high on the lotus throne with an expressionless face, but his gaze was on the attic where Jiang Changsheng was, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
The sky above the temple is always in daylight, and countless seekers produce various strange visions in the process of enlightenment, making the sky dazzling.
In a state of ecstasy, Jiang Changsheng's consciousness fell into an unprecedented mysterious state of mind. He felt that all the power of his Dao had come alive and was circling around him, like a group of children surrounding their father, happily asking for something.
Jiang Changsheng is also looking for what they want.
The changes in the world are but a passing dream for a great practitioner of Taoism.
Jiang Changsheng gradually regained consciousness. The voice of Tai Shangtian preaching was no longer in his ears. Instead, the noisy noise came from far away, becoming clearer and clearer, and soon became louder.
He opened his eyes and his senses quickly returned, like a sudden dream, leaving him in a trance for a while.
"Senior, this sermon is over, and it's time for me to leave."
Hearing the words of the Holy Mother of Qingqiu, Jiang Changsheng turned his head and saw that she had already stood up and was staring at him with eyes as gentle as water.
Jiang Changsheng immediately stood up and said, "Thank you for your care, Holy Mother. I will remember your kindness."
Holy Mother Qingqiu said, "Although I don't know your origins, it seems that you only appear in the dojo. Is there anything you want to tell my master?"
Jiang Changsheng pondered for a moment and said, "It is difficult to distinguish the past from the future, but the promise to go to the end of the road together is real. I hope she won't forget it."
These words made the Holy Mother of Qingqiu raise her eyebrows. She looked at Jiang Changsheng deeply , then walked out of the attic and turned into a rainbow of light and disappeared.
Jiang Changsheng stretched and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, Taoist friend. I have something to talk to you about."
A voice was heard, it was from the master of the Taoist temple, Tai Shangtian.
After hearing this, Jiang Changsheng decided to stay. This was the place where the Taoist gods returned to the gods. He was not really traveling through time, so he was not afraid of death.
While waiting , he began to stretch his muscles.
"This body is quite real. Am I the consciousness that has come here, or is it the consciousness that has attached itself to a body?"
Jiang Changsheng was secretly curious. He thought it was the latter. However, Xiao, Niangniang and Shaohao could remember him, which meant that when his consciousness attached itself to other living beings, their appearance and aura would become like his.
Moreover, this creature’s cultivation level is similar to his, but not exactly the same.
Just like now, Jiang Changsheng feels that there is a slight gap in his cultivation. It was slightly stronger before, but now it is slightly weaker.
If he became stronger, he would not doubt it. After all, he would become stronger every time he listened to the sermon. But it didn't make sense that he would become weaker.
How could he be weak?
The sounds outside the attic became fewer and fewer. Jiang Changsheng thought of Shaohao. He immediately walked outside the attic and stood at the edge of the building to look around. He could no longer see Shaohao and the White-robed God.
They are gone.
"I hope you'll still be here next time we meet."
Jiang Changsheng showed a smile on his face. He had practiced Taoism and returned to the divine realm several times, but he only made a few Taoist friends. The only ones who could keep in touch with him were Xiaohe Niangniang and Shaohao.
He hoped that these two people would be well forever.
When all the listeners in this world left, the temple fell into silence.
When the sermon ended, Tai Shangtian disappeared. A powerful person like him would not watch everyone leave.
Jiang Changsheng was not in a hurry either. No matter how long he stayed here, in reality it would only be a few breaths of time.
"You possess the power of many great ways. May I ask who you are, fellow Taoist?"
Tai Shangtian's voice came, Jiang Changsheng turned his head and looked, Tai Shangtian was standing seven steps away. The two of them stood at the edge of the building, facing the wind.
Jiang Changsheng smiled and said, "I am not a saint, I am just a cultivator who needs your guidance."
Tai Shang Tian narrowed his eyes and said, "I have seen you before. Tens of millions of years ago, you were beside Xiao He Niangniang in Bodhi Buddha Sea."
So clear?
The two of them had no social interaction at that time.
Jiang Changsheng couldn't help but wonder if this guy was very concerned about Xiao and the Empress?
Even if a cultivator has an extraordinary memory, how can he remember so clearly a person who happened to be around him tens of millions of years ago?
Even if you remember, you still need to review your memory.
Could it be that this guy was reminiscing while preaching?
Jiang Changsheng was not panicked, because he did not belong to this era anyway.
Tai Shang Tian continued, "Although I am curious about your origins, you possess the power of many great ways, which means that you and I are on the same path. In this lecture, you are the only one who can truly embark on the path of creating the Tao. Since we are predestined and we are on the same path, I will grant you an opportunity."
Jiang Changsheng was immediately delighted when he heard this, and quickly said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist!"
Tai Shang Tian waved his hand and said, "This is a kind of divine method that I obtained when I traveled to the outer space. The four characters of the Tao Ancestor are recorded on the stone tablet. Thanks to this divine method, I am where I am today."
