Chapter 1673: Heaven's Way Blocks, Ascension to the Upper Realm

In front of the boundary wall.

A giant who is ten thousand miles tall, standing on the void, punching through the sky, with a mighty and domineering momentum.

Just when the boundary wall was in danger of breaking at any time, a white-bearded Taoist appeared out of nowhere, holding up a "white round shield" to block the giant's fist, and shouted urgently:
"Fellow Taoist, wait!"

"Is your Taoist friend Hongjun? Or Taiqing?"

When Su Mingzhe saw this Taoist, for some reason, he felt a sense of fear in his heart. He couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He quickly retracted his magical powers, saluted with both hands, and asked respectfully.

The Taoist with white beard returned the greeting and slowly said:

"I am Li Er, the Taoist priest of this world!"

"So it's Brother Li Er, I'm so sorry!"

Su Mingzhe was a little surprised when he heard Li Er introduce himself, but not too surprised.

The ceremony is over.

Li Er invited Su Mingzhe to his temple for a chat.

Su Mingzhe has no objection.

……

Not long after.

The two came to a void.

A thousand-foot-high mountain stands in the void.

On the top of the mountain, there is a Taoist temple with the words "Chun Yang" written on it.

"This is my dojo, Mount Penglai..."

Li Er's voice was strange, as if it was in the sky, but also seemed to be beside him, illusory and unreal.

After the two of them sat down in Chunyang Temple, a golden boy and a jade girl served them fragrant tea and magical fruits.

"Fellow Taoist, please!"

"please!"

Su Mingzhe took a sip of tea, the fragrance was refreshing and pleasant, penetrating into his lungs, it was obviously not an ordinary tea.

Li Er put down his teacup, and a gentle smile appeared on his wrinkled face:
"Fellow Daoist, you should have guessed who I am, right?"

"I guessed it. You should be the three corpses of Emperor Donghua!"

Su Mingzhe's words were firm and full of confidence.

"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight!"

Li Er couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his identity had been guessed:
"This universe is infinite. In my eyes, it is divided into the primitive world, the great world, the middle world, and the small world. The primitive world encompasses everything, including the countless great worlds, and the great worlds have countless middle worlds, and the middle worlds have countless small worlds!"

"In this small world, I am the Heavenly Dao, but my original self is just an insignificant Emperor Donghua in the prehistoric world!"

Hearing Li Er admit his identity, Su Mingzhe raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"The three corpses of the emperor can control the heavenly way of a certain world. I think my cultivation level must be that of a saint!"

"Not yet, not yet, he is just a golden immortal in the prehistoric plane."

Li Er seemed a little modest, but his expression was calm and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.

He just continued to preach:
"Honghuang is different from here. In this plane, saints can pick stars with their hands and stand tall. In Honghuang, even saints are just oversized clay dolls."

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe was somewhat shocked:

"Are there many saints in the prehistoric world?"

Li Er hesitated for a moment and replied:

"It's probably tens of millions."

"Ten thousand? Is this an imaginary number? Or an approximate number?"

Su Mingzhe felt a little sad for some reason, and then asked:

"Then I wonder how big this wilderness is?"

"You should know Pangu the Great Sage, right? In order to hold up the sky, he turned into Mount Buzhou, which is tens of thousands of miles high. But when he lies down, he is less than one billionth of the size of the Yuanyuan Continent in the prehistoric plane."

Su Mingzhe felt that Li Er's words were too exaggerated.

You should know that the diameter of the sun is only one million kilometers.

If Li Er's statement is correct, even if the sun is placed next to Pangu, it would not be as big as his thumb.

And such a huge Pangu is less than one billionth of a continent. So how big is this Yuanyuan Continent, and how big is this plane?
Li Er saw that Su Mingzhe didn't believe him, and couldn't help but chuckle:
"What I said is true. When I transformed into this world, I imitated Pangu creating the sky. That sun is my left eye!"

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe was silenced.

……

The flames in the Bagua stove made a popping sound. Jintong, who had a goat-horn bun, wiped the sweat off his face every time he waved a palm-leaf fan.

The Jade Maiden waited beside Su Mingzhe and Li Er, waiting to add water to them. After an unknown amount of time, Su Mingzhe came back to his senses from the shock and bowed to Li Er:
"I am grateful for your teaching!"

"Fellow Taoist, you're welcome!"

Li Er smiled innocently and asked:

"Fellow Daoist, are you going to the prehistoric world?"

"Of course I will go, but please wait a moment!"

Only at this point did Su Mingzhe understand that the hell difficulty that the master was talking about was referring to the vast world behind the small plane.

"I have some things to finish!"

"Fellow Daoist, please do as you please!"

Li Er is the way of heaven. He does not care about the operation of the universe, nor does he interfere in the trivial matters of the human world.

Seeing that Su Mingzhe was easy to talk to, he gave a friendly reminder:
"I suggest that before you go to the Primordial World, you should go to the Great Thousand World first!"

……

The Underworld.

The twelve great emperors and saints gathered together.

The Ancestor of the Styx, the Great Sage Kunpeng, and the Emperor of the Five Mountains are in high positions.

The other eight great saints sat on both sides.

Su Mingzhe stood alone in the center of the hall, looking calm and composed, with an arrogant attitude that looked down on everyone else, making everyone want to kick him out of the hall.

Unfortunately, at this moment, even the ancestor of the Styx did not dare to take action lightly.

There was silence in the hall for a long time.

After receiving the message from the Great Sage Kunpeng, the Great Sage Tongtian gritted his teeth and broke the silence first:

"You're not Huang Feng, right?"

"Yes, I am not Huang Feng!"

Su Mingzhe ignored Tongtian and looked directly at Minghe and Kunpeng and said with a smile:

"You should have guessed my identity, right?"

"Extraterritorial Demon?"

Minghe's words made everyone nervous.

……

You are the devil!
Your whole family is a demon!
This Styx really can’t speak!

Su Mingzhe resisted the urge to complain and explained with a frown:

"I am not a demon, nor am I from outside the realm! To you, I come from the long river of time and space, and I am considered a saint destined by heaven!"

"The Saint appointed by Heaven? What a big mouth!"

The Great Sage Kunpeng seems to have a strong grudge against the 'Sage Destined by Heaven'.

……

When Patriarch Hongjun was preaching in Zixiao Palace, he placed six cushions, indicating that six saints would appear under his tutelage.

Relying on his speed, the Great Sage Kunpeng arrived at the Zixiao Palace at the same time as the Three Pure Ones and snatched a cushion.

As a result, when the two saints from the West arrived, he was driven away by words.

Later, rumors spread that if Kunpeng had not left the cushion, he could have become a saint.

Unfortunately, rumors are just rumors, and the Great Sage Kunpeng is ultimately just a Great Sage, not a Saint.

At the same time, there is another rumor that the two saints in the West are saints destined by heaven, and even if the Great Sage Kunpeng occupies the cushion and refuses to give up his position, he cannot become a saint.

No matter what, Kunpeng had a strong resentment towards the term "Sage appointed by Heaven".

……

Su Mingzhe glanced at everyone, his eyes containing three parts of mockery, three parts of provocation, and four parts of indifference.

After the hall was quiet again, he stated his purpose:

"In a few days, I will ascend to the Great Thousand World. Is there any fellow Taoist who is willing to go with me?"

"Ascend to the universe?"

The Patriarch of the Styx and the Great Sage Kunpeng exchanged glances, but both were very secretive and did not speak.

The Emperor of the Five Mountains had a cold expression on his face, and outsiders could not tell what he was thinking.

The Great Sage Bai Ze, the Great Sage Mo Tian and others seemed to be interested, but when they saw that the three people from Minghe did not speak, they did not say anything.

Princess Yunshu, the newly promoted Great Saint, thought for a moment and raised her hand to sign up:
"I am willing!"
