Tianwei Chapter 334: Sky Crack (6)
Everyone understands that the so-called column represents support.
I originally thought that the pillars of heaven and earth should be similar to the Buzhou Mountain in mythology, composed of rocks and soil. But now the picture seen by my "heart" overturned all my previous speculations.
The reason why you can't see the Pillar of Heaven is because you don't look closely enough.
When the mind opens, all false images are wiped away. I see that connecting with the green is a layer of air, white and clear. It is transparent, but can be clearly felt. Under the green is dim yellow, and under the dim yellow is a fault.
Fresh air was constantly injected into the pitch-black fault. Every wisp of fresh air that appeared would dispel the corresponding darkness.
I suddenly realized that the place where I am represents the heaven and the earth.
The world is embodied in an incomprehensible way, and the part reflects the whole. This is only a part of the world, but it represents the whole world.
This may be difficult to understand, because even I don’t quite understand whether I have shrunk into a small world, but have enlarged and stood between heaven and earth, overlooking the entire world.
The blue sky is connected to the sky, but the dim sky is not connected to the earth, which may represent the broken pillars of heaven and earth.
Today's pillar is the Yellow Spring. It looks like a pool of water, but in fact, it is a thin layer between the virtual and the real. This layer cannot be measured by scientific dimensions, it can be infinitely thick or infinitely thin.
But even if we can see the clue, how can we make up for it?
I tried the eight-ropeway method, but it didn't work. The water level of Qingtan remained Qingtan, neither increasing nor decreasing.
What about the Taoism of the Five Classics?
Although there is a fault in the Blue Sky and Yellow Spring, there may be fragments left between heaven and earth. If we use the Taoist method of the Five Classics to summon the fragments and restore them, is it feasible?
This requires experimentation, but my subconscious tells me that I don’t have enough spiritual power now and it will be impossible to succeed.
What if we bring the Taoist priest here?
The possibility is not high.
Although the old Taoist has practiced for longer than me, the Five Elements Meridian is only a branch of the Five Classics after all. In terms of Taoist power, I am afraid he will not have much more than me. At the very least, he cannot use the Taoist method of restoration.
I sat there for a long time, but there was no progress.
However, when I wanted to leave, I suddenly felt that something had changed in the world.
From the surface, it still looked like a clear pond, but when I looked at it carefully, I felt that it was a little smaller than before.
That point is almost negligible, but I can be sure that it has changed.
Why ?
How could the blue sky and the underworld shrink?
I stared at it for a long time without moving.
Finally, a vision appeared before me.
Those were some colorful dots of light, very small, almost imperceptible. They flashed by occasionally and quickly sank into the Blue Spring. The more dots of light fell into it, the smaller the "volume" of the Blue Spring would become.
These light spots were like sponges, absorbing the "water" in it and taking it away in an incomprehensible way. In other words, they destroyed it.
What is this thing? How can it have the ability to corrode the pillars of heaven and earth?
Colorful dots of light... I vaguely felt that this thing was very familiar. I tried to touch it with my mind, and the doubts in my mind were immediately solved.
This is not a spot of light at all; it is just some ordinary energy of the five elements of heaven and earth.
They emerged from the ground, and when they passed through the fault, most of them dissipated. Only a small part of them passed through the fault and attached to the blue sky and the yellow spring.
My mind suddenly became clear, and I got the answer to the question that I had been thinking about for a long time but couldn't figure out.
A long time ago, I had always wondered why she went to the underworld to unlock the fiefdom? Would the increased energy between heaven and earth be good for her? Was she trying to speed up her cultivation?
Thinking about it now, my thoughts at that time were too naive.
How could what she had to do be so simple?
The lock of the sealed land was opened, and energy surged out from the sealed state. These energies were like waves under the cliffs by the sea. They seemed weak and powerless, but in fact they caused great harm to the cliffs.
Day after day, year after year, these energies continued to erode the pillars of heaven and earth, making them thinner and weaker. Later, Jiuqiu was born and noticed the changes in heaven and earth. Now, he has used the imperial platform to break the pillars of heaven and earth that could not bear the heavy load.
Everything she did was to speed up the process.
The Yellow Springs may seem small, but even after tens of millions of years, it will probably not change at all. Because the Eight-thread Ancestor saw all this two thousand years ago, he came up with the plan to seal the heaven and earth.
Most of the energy between heaven and earth was sealed outside of heaven and earth to prevent the pillars from further erosion.
Why energy can damage the pillars of heaven and earth is a difficult question to answer. But the facts are in front of us, and we only need to think about the results, not the process.
After seeing all this clearly, I stood up, turned around, opened the door, and stepped in.
As soon as I walked out, I heard a clear shout: Dad~
I turned around and saw Jiao Ye laughing and jumping into my arms. I touched her head and said, "Go and play, I have something to do."
Oh well… She left somewhat disappointed.
Although I don't want to reject Mr. Jiao's attachment to me, but now, there are indeed more important things to do.
Everything I saw in the Blue Sky and Yellow Spring gave me a preliminary plan. If I wanted to reverse the world and restore everything, the first step would be to completely block all energy from attaching to the Blue Sky and Yellow Spring.
The most effective way to do this is undoubtedly to seal the heaven and earth.
Back then, the Eight-Threaded Ancestor had great supernatural powers that were omnipotent, so he was able to find the Emperor of Heaven, the Great Demon Lord and others.
But I am just a nobody. People who know me may call me the successor of the Eight Ropes, but people who don’t know me say that I am not even a blade of grass.
However, all the energy of heaven and earth belongs to the five elements. Although some subtle changes will occur in the hands of various inheritances, at least those that erode the pillars of heaven and earth have not changed.
When it comes to understanding the five elements of energy, in this vast world, I can’t think of anyone better than the Taoist master.
The reason why I returned to Tianshimai instead of going directly to Wuxing Daoist Temple was because I felt that Fanran was a very good candidate. I couldn't really say what kind of candidate she was, but I just felt that she might be of great use.
So I walked quickly and found her in the house, looking a little dazed. Without saying anything, I took her to the Five Elements Taoist Temple.
Standing on the platform at the top of the mountain, I was still in a daze: What are you doing!
Why are you here? As soon as she finished asking, the old Taoist's words came from the side.
The old Taoist priest was still sitting on the platform, meditating with his eyes closed. Our arrival seemed to disturb him.
I did not answer Fanran's question, but looked at the old Taoist and said: I went to the blue sky and the underworld and found some things. Perhaps all this could be prevented.
Oh? The old Taoist made a surprised sound and opened his eyes to look at me. His eyes were full of indifference. Surprise was just an instinct and did not cause any waves in his heart. It was as if there were two minds in his body, one was still human, and the other had become an immortal.
I told him everything I had seen in the Azure and Yellow Springs, as well as everything I had guessed. After listening to me, the old Taoist frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
As for Fan Ran, he was very surprised and asked: Is there such a place? Where is it? How to get there?
I'll take you there next time I have the chance, I replied.
The five elements of energy are indeed the essence of everything. The old Taoist priest suddenly spoke, and we both immediately fell silent and listened to him continue.
Water can carry a boat but can also capsize it. Everything has its pros and cons. Energy itself is a very dangerous thing. It can make people strong, but at the same time, you also have to bear the harm that comes with being strong. Just like the dragon energy in the earth veins, it can make a dragon snake shed its mortal body and turn into a dragon. But at the same time, it can also turn a dragon snake into a piece of stone attached to the dragon vein. In that case, even if you are invincible, it is just a joke. Therefore, the five elements of energy make up the world, but at the same time, they also harm the entire world.
When the Taoist priest said this, he obviously hesitated. He paused for a long time, thought for a while, and then hesitantly said: If the five elements energy can also assimilate other things like dragon energy... Well, this is very likely!
He suddenly nodded with certainty and said: So, this world was born from nothingness, and the five elements emerged. The five elements constitute all things, and at the same time they erode all things. When all things are assimilated by the five elements, only energy will remain in the world. At that time, everything will be chaos. This is a cycle, representing the reincarnation of heaven and earth.
What you mean is... I asked: Is the previous guess correct?
It should be. The old Taoist nodded and said: It is not difficult to isolate the five elements. You should still remember those immortal corpses. Their bodies cannot be penetrated by my Taoist power. This shows that the power of immortals can isolate the five elements.
Doesn't that mean that the existence of immortals is actually to drive away the energy of the five elements and protect the pillars of heaven and earth? He shouted in surprise.
You can guess so, said the old Taoist priest.
So now there are no more immortals, and even the immortal world has suffered a disaster . Is it really like she said? Everything has to be reborn, is this the true will of heaven?
As the heaven and earth recover and erode the pillars, the stone beasts and immortals are also resurrected. This is a kind of balance, a manifestation of the instinctive will under the heavenly order. There are two things we need to do. First, try to crack the power of the immortals and use it to wrap the pillars of heaven and earth to temporarily block the five elements of energy. Second, find out the truth about the existence of the stone beasts.
The stone beast you are talking about is the same as the immortal, right? I asked.
That's right. The old Taoist nodded: Ever since the ghost messenger was resurrected and the half of the immortal corpse was sealed, I have suspected that the so-called stone beasts may be divided into two types. One is sealed a long time ago, and the other is like the ghost messenger who was trapped in the sealed world two thousand years ago. The latter is useless to us, and the former is our target.
We don't have much time left... I said as I looked up at the shadow of Nuwa not far away. From this distance, she looked even bigger. Even the Kunlun Mountains I saw at the beginning didn't seem as tall as her.
At her waist, a thousand-meter-high peak was rising and falling. It was the only remaining imperial platform. It was emitting a yellow light and belonged to Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi.
And further away in all directions of the world, there are towering mountains that stand tall between heaven and earth.
The four imperial platforms turned into four pillars, supporting the sky and the earth, but as time passed, the imperial platforms seemed to be shrinking. If the sky and the earth were to overlap, the force would be so great that it was unimaginable. No matter how powerful the imperial platforms were, they could only delay it, not stop it.
But why did you bring her here? The old Taoist priest suddenly asked.
Huh? I was stunned for a moment, then looked at Fanran who was very puzzled.
