Chapter 633: Taishang Laojun, the truth about heaven
Although Li Daoxuan's body could not move, he could still think normally.
It was precisely because of this that the shock in his heart took him a long time to calm down.
How could it be the old Taoist priest?
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of something he had gradually forgotten, which was the mysterious death of his master.
Three years ago, the master was in good health, but he suddenly passed away. The stone drums in Longhu Mountain rang ten times in a row.
He and his master Zhang Qianyang hurried back to the mountain, only to find that there was no body in the master's grave, only a few almonds.
That is the long-lost technique of apricot corpse, a method to achieve corpse-transmigration immortality.
The master's behavior before his death was also very strange. According to the master's wife, the master was reading a Taoist scripture when he suddenly seemed to have predicted his own death and told her to bury him immediately after his death.
At that time, Li Daoxuan had already stepped half a foot into the realm of immortality, which could be considered the pinnacle of the human world. However, when he tried his best to use Zi Wei Dou Shu to deduce the whereabouts of his master, he almost got seriously injured.
However, through Zi Wei Dou Shu, he also saw the whereabouts of his master, and he seemed to have gone to heaven.
After coming to Heaven, Li Daoxuan was worried about his master, thinking that he was corrupted by the Milky Way. Now it seems that his master is far more complicated than he thought.
The old Taoist priest walked over step by step, and with his steps, the rag grew longer and longer, covering the surroundings. The pattern on it became clearer and clearer, and infinite mysterious light flowed on the black and white Tai Chi, presenting a chaotic yin and yang color.
This is not some rag for padding the alchemy furnace, it is clearly a Tai Chi diagram!
The Tai Chi diagram was surrounded by thousands of rays of light and auspicious colors, with "prophecies of the Great Way" surrounding it outside the diagram and "talismans of the Heavenly Way" looming inside the diagram.
The five-colored light illuminates the mountains, rivers, and the earth; the nine-colored auspicious aura shocks the heavens and the universe.
Li Daoxuan looked at the picture and had already guessed a lot, but he was also even more shocked by it.
"Taichong, we meet again."
After the Tai Chi diagram surrounded everything around him, the old Taoist priest finally spoke. He smiled slightly, still as kind as before.
However, Li Daoxuan felt very unfamiliar.
Although their faces are the same, their temperaments are completely different. Although the old Taoist priest is standing in front of him, he gives people a contradictory temperament that seems empty and yet omnipresent.
The moment he appeared, earth, water, wind, fire, yin and yang, and the five elements all disappeared. In other words, he redefined the laws of this world and created an absolute vacuum world.
Li Daoxuan had never heard of such magical powers.
It should be noted that even holy places such as Heaven and Lingshan need the support of earth, wind, water, fire, yin and yang and the five elements, which are the skeleton of heaven and earth.
However, the old Taoist priest broke this absolute iron rule with a wave of his hand.
Within this barrier, the existence of time and space depends solely on his thoughts, and all laws are determined by him at will.
He could make Li Daoxuan unable to move forever, or he could turn Li Daoxuan into a dying old man in an instant.
There is no room for resistance!
The old master snapped his fingers lightly, and then everything returned to normal, and the stagnant time and space started moving again.
The feces and urine immediately fell on Xiaotian's face, causing him to vomit violently.
Li Daoxuan stepped back instantly, with a three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand. He gripped the hilt tightly, and his third eye between his eyebrows suddenly opened, staring at his master closely.
But he saw nothing.
The old Taoist priest seemed to see his nervousness and said softly, "Let go of desires and your mind will be at peace. Let your mind be clear and your spirit will be pure."
These are the words from "The Scripture of Purity and Tranquility Spoken by the Most High Lord Laojun". As the words fell, it seemed as if his words came into being, and Li Daoxuan's originally nervous mood immediately became as calm as water.
After a moment, he put away his three-pointed, double-edged sword and bowed to the old Taoist priest.
"Taichong, a disciple of the Dao Sect, greets the Great Pure Daode Tianzun!"
He had already guessed the other party's identity.
Who else but Taishang Laojun could manipulate the Tai Chi diagram and have such magical powers?
That’s right. Even the Queen Mother of the West could escape from heaven through reincarnation. How could Taishang Laojun, who is even more powerful than the Queen Mother of the West, die?
The old Taoist priest shook his head and laughed, "I am just an incarnation. I am Taiqing, but Taiqing is not me."
Li Daoxuan's mind moved. Taiqing Daode Tianzun was Taishang Laojun. According to legend, Laojun had ninety-nine incarnations, all of whom had come to the world to save people.
For example, Lao Tzu who wrote the "Tao Te Ching", Guiguzi who was known as the sage of strategy, the three brothers Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and even Zhang Daoling, who is said to be his incarnation.
This is a very powerful method of cultivation. The incarnation comes down to the mortal world to gain experience, and after returning to its original position, all the insights and cultivation of the incarnation will become the foundation of the true body.
No wonder my master was taken to a cave by a crane when he was young and inherited the "Huangting Ancient Scripture".
Li Daoxuan looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
The old Taoist priest seemed to see what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Zhang Zhiyan is still Zhang Zhiyan. I don't want to replace him like the Queen Mother of the West."
Li Daoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was most worried that his master would encounter the same predicament as his senior sister.
"May I ask, Tianzun, are you the one who made a deal with Senior Sister?"
The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Yes, I saw the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West all those years ago. The reason why Zhang Qianyang met the newly born Taizhen was also because of my intentional guidance."
Li Daoxuan was shocked.
He suddenly remembered that his master once said that he was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to kill an evil fox demon, but he met his newborn sister on the way.
At that time, my senior sister’s mother was having a difficult delivery. She tried her best to give birth to her, but then she passed away.
Li Daoxuan gasped. Queen Mother of the West thought that her plan was very good, but this saint easily saw through the flaw and took advantage of it.
"So, you were the one who brought Xiaotian into the Heavenly Palace, as well as Erlang Shen Yang Jian..."
The old Taoist priest admitted everything frankly and said, "Yes, Yang Jian died in the battle in Heaven, but he still had a last bit of obsession left. I saved him, which can be regarded as finding a good successor for him."
"Then why did Yang Jian pretend to kill me?"
"First, he wants to test you, and second, he wants to pretend to be a puppet so as not to awaken the sleeping heaven."
"The sleeping heaven?"
Li Daoxuan frowned, somewhat puzzled by this sentence.
The old Taoist sighed softly, and his voice became more solemn.
"Have you ever wondered why all the immortals who ascended to heaven were transported to the bottom of the Tianhe River, and all the elixirs and peaches in the heavenly palace lost their spiritual power, and there was not a single living thing to be seen?"
Li Daoxuan had a vague guess, but he didn't dare to believe it.
"Because the Heavenly Palace itself is a monster, and the Milky Way is its stomach. All the spiritual creatures here will become its nourishment."
Li Daoxuan felt as if he was struck by lightning and could not calm down for a long time.
The terrifying existence hidden in the Heavenly Palace turned out to be Heavenly Palace itself. No wonder the immortals and gods could not escape and finally turned into piles of bones.
The heaven among the three realms is not the place where they are buried, but... the place where they are digested!
No wonder the Heavenly Court always appears so strange, always trying to lure others to ascend.
Does this mean... it's hungry?
