Chapter 419 Where Did My Damaging Dao Go?
On the Buddhist Eight Treasures Merit Pond, in the Taoist Tai Chi diagram, Miaoyu's apricot-yellow sleeves moved without wind, causing the golden lotuses in the pond to sway, making the tangible black and white Tai Chi stand out in the invisible glazed Buddha light.
Miaoyu herself was also changing rapidly. In the Purple Mansion, an illusory Yin God fetus began to turn into Yang. The spirit changed from illusion to reality. Her eyes, as clear as mountain springs, slightly raised up to look at the sky, where the thirty-three heavens were hanging high in the sky, with the sun and the moon soaring in the sky!
Miaoyu stretched out her hand and pointed, and the black and white Tai Chi diagram turned into a golden bridge across the sky, connecting with the thirty-three heavens outside the Great Wisdom Root Realm. Endless purple air descended from the east, vast and boundless, filling the entire Great Wisdom Root Realm!
The third level of Taoism: celestial phenomena!
Although the three levels of Taoism are all called celestial phenomena, due to the different methods of cultivation, there are also differences in the levels of celestial phenomena. Originally, with Miaoyu's qualifications, although she was also a Taoist innate seed, the celestial phenomena she had witnessed were only the morning glow and the blue mist. Those who could see the image of thunder were already at the level of the founder of Taoism. Even Miaoyu herself had never thought that one day she would be able to see the image of Tai Chi.
And now, through the coincidence of Shinto, Buddhism, Taoism, Zhou Tieyi and so on, Miaoyu has completely escaped from the mundane world and touched the root of Taoism, the image of Tai Chi!
The golden bridge stretched across the sky, demonstrating the evolution of the universe from nothing to something, spanning the emptiness of Buddhism. However, with the guidance of the golden bridge, boundless purple air descended, and the Lord of Daming Palace, who was fighting against the huge Buddha statue, laughed loudly, "Good, good, good!"
His neatly groomed hair and beard fluttered in the wind like dragon beard and phoenix feathers. His solemn and dignified facial features were overjoyed. He was so overjoyed that he said the word "good" three times before he could organize the following words.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the Lord of Daming Palace still did not forget to mock Buddhism first, "There is a saying in the secular world that if you try to steal a chicken, you will lose the rice. I have never seen it with my own eyes. But today, you, the Buddhist, failed to steal a person, but instead made my Taoist immortal. It is really the law of nature, and the retribution is inevitable!"
The voice of the Lord of Daming Palace was like the cry of an old phoenix, which directly stopped the chanting of countless monks in the Buddhist country. Of course he should be so happy. His eyes fell on Miaoyu on the Tai Chi diagram at the other end of the golden bridge. It was just that Miaoyu had achieved the image of Tai Chi. The old guy from Xuandu Mountain and the lazy man from Qingpingzhou would have been as happy as him, not to mention that Miaoyu was an unexpected surprise!
At the same time that Miaoyu was undergoing a qualitative change, Zhou Tieyi was also undergoing a qualitative change.
After entering the sixth level of martial arts, he walked out of his own path. Others at the sixth level of martial arts only refined a kind of ancestral qi of heaven and earth, and used the ancestral qi of heaven and earth that they refined themselves to influence the outside world.
However, Zhou Tieyi's sixth level of martial arts is based on the Buddhist emptiness as its cornerstone, with the true meaning of the Five Emperors as its legal principle. It accommodates one incomplete kingdom of God after another, and with the help of the changing signs of the stars, it is in harmony with the original origin of the universe. That is why he evolved the Taisu Divine Wind, and completely freed himself from the constraints of the flesh and transformed into the state of a primitive galaxy.
In this state, Zhou Tieyi's improvement is still through the continuous absorption of external matter and energy. Just like he had deduced before, he can continuously grow his absolute power by absorbing one divine kingdom after another, and theoretically even reach the level of destroying a star with one punch. However, to complete the qualitative change, he may need to accumulate immeasurable fragments of the divine kingdom.
And today, with the help of the changes of life and death, yin and yang, and with the help of self-reunification, Zhou Tieyi also saw Tai Chi. Within his body, the original world like stars began to re-evolve.
Whoohoo!
A strong wind suddenly surged up from Zhou Tieyi's body. This wind was not the wind from the sky, nor the wind from the earth. It was not the autumn wind, nor the spring wind. It was the Taisu Divine Wind that transformed energy into matter and condensed matter into stars in the universe!
Under the blowing of the strong wind, Zhou Tieyi once again transformed from a tangible human body into a vast galaxy, and this time, he did not restrain his own original star through the Tai Su Divine Wind. Instead, under the impetus of the Tai Su Divine Wind and the evolution of the Tai Chi diagram, he rotated and expanded, embracing the entire Dazhigen Realm from within!
The huge spiral galaxy exploded in magnificent deep purple and azure blue, like the beginning of the chaos of the universe. The entire pure Buddhist kingdom was shrouded in layers of stars and time in the blink of an eye.
In the sky above the Buddha's kingdom, the hazy, free, pure and spotless glass Buddha light turns into a dazzling starry sky. Two huge yin and yang fish shake their heads and tails in the boundless space. Wherever they pass, Buddhism returns to the way!
The entire Great Wisdom Root Realm was swallowed up, and Monk Zhi on the Seven Treasures Lotus could no longer control the seven star arrows in his chest that contained endless death energy. The black color symbolizing death spread over his glazed golden body. For the first time, crimson blood flowed out, staining his white monk's robes red, making his face dull and his clothes dirty. The lotus withered, and the seven treasures scattered, taking him into endless extinction.
Monk Zhi clasped his hands together and whispered, "Teacher."
When he passed away, his body magic turned into a dazzling seven-colored relic, flew into the air, and actively merged with the surrounding starry sky and passed it to Zhou Tieyi.
When Monk Zhi's breath returned to silence, the Buddha's kingdom of infinite goodness and infinite beauty completely lost its foundation. Correspondingly, the boundless evil and boundless pain that were stripped away by the Buddha's kingdom returned!
The monks in the Buddhist country are aging at a speed visible to the naked eye, their skin is decaying, they are unhappy with their master, and can hardly control themselves. The sound of chanting, which is like the chirping of cicadas in summer, has ceased, and it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil!
Outside the Great Wisdom Root Realm, the crystal clear water of the Wangchuan Pond began to ripple, and snakes and fish jumped out of the water. However, they were no longer dazzling with their gorgeous colorful neck crowns, but were instead as black as ink. Because the Buddhist kingdom collapsed and perished, good and evil reunited, the snakes and fish's own ferocity returned, ten times more fierce than before, like a spring that had been compressed to the extreme and suddenly jumped up!
For a moment, the snakes and fish in the Wangchuan River bit and devoured each other. The snakes and fish in the river turned into broken limbs and corpses. The red blood formed a new river, carrying boundless malice and endless decay, devouring the original Wangchuan water!
In the completely red water of the Forgetful River, a huge black shadow swam, hugging the entire Buddhist kingdom from the outside with its head and tail embracing each other!
For a moment, the terrifying might was centered on the Great Wisdom Root Realm, spreading in all directions, causing all the first-grade masters who were fighting fiercely to look sideways!
The closest person was the chief lecturer of Nananda Temple who was fighting with the bone priest in Huangquan. He slightly side-glanced and looked in the direction of the Great Wisdom Root Realm. With his magical powers, when the Great Wisdom Root Realm was connected inside and outside, he could deduce all the information in the battlefield. When he saw that Zhou Tieyi and Miaoyu actually took advantage of this life-and-death crisis to see the Taoist celestial phenomena, or the Taoist fundamental Taiji celestial phenomena, even if he spoke to the bone priest in a high-sounding manner, he still breathed heavily.
He swung the sword of wisdom to cut off all distracting thoughts, and thought to himself with self-mockery that his practice was still not enough and he still couldn't really let go of everything.
The bone priest naturally noticed the change in the chief lecturer, but he was not completely gloating at this time. Instead, his brows were furrowed and his expression was solemn.
Although at the beginning of the plan, they had designed a situation in which Zhou Tieyi could really rely on his ability to break through the Great Wisdom Root Realm, or even destroy the Great Wisdom Root Realm, and even the Great Wisdom Root Realm itself was a huge trap. While destroying the Great Wisdom Root Realm, it could detonate the Five Degenerations of Heavenly Beings that would cause a Bodhisattva to enter Nirvana, combined with the evil thoughts accumulated by the miners in Taihang Mountains for ten years, and the resentment accumulated by the Netherworld for a hundred years. Adding the two together, even a first-grade would be severely damaged, enough to kill everyone below the first-grade!
Theoretically, using this to deal with Zhou Tieyi is already the ultimate plan. After all, no one can be completely sure of killing a first-grade god unless they are one of the nine ancient gods or a saint.
But when things really came to this point, it had reached the limit of Shinto's calculations, which meant that the game they had designed was about to be broken, and the situation was already faintly out of control. The outcome was only one or two moves away!
In the Great Wisdom Root Realm that has been covered by endless stars, Tao and Principle are transformed again, the original heaven and earth in Zhou Tieyi's body are opened up, and the primordial ancestral Qi is intertwined and hanging down, like thousands of garland trees and thousands of golden lanterns.
However, in the process, Monk Zhi's plan also came into effect. One monk after another passed away, and the horrific Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man broke out. The prosperous primitive world evolved by Zhou Tieyi faced a storm before it could really grow!
In an instant, the necklaces scattered, the golden lanterns swayed, the stars dimmed, and Zhou Tieyi was knocked down from the wonderful state of harmony between man and nature!
······
The Upper Palace of Mocheng.
In the study, the Mohist master and disciple Tian Fu and Mo Jian stood facing each other, like two chess players, watching the game evolve step by step.
At this time, Mo Jian frowned. Like the Bone Priest, he knew that the situation had reached a critical moment. Moreover, their side had been using deadly moves frequently and had already entered the most fierce ambushes situation.
He looked at his teacher, Mr. Tian, still wearing tortoise-shell glasses and looking gentle and elegant.
"teacher."
As soon as Mo Jian opened his mouth, Tian's father interrupted him, "Don't regret your move. This is what your master taught you. There is no need to ask for a draw. Although you left the option of a draw, even if your master agrees, Zhou Tieyi will not agree."
Mo Jian looked towards Dazhigenjie. He did leave a plan for a draw, or rather, Monk Zhi had proposed a plan for a draw on his behalf. That was the seven-colored relic that Monk Zhi turned into when he passed away!
Although Monk Zhi passed away, he did not want his path to die as well. So when he discovered that Zhou Tieyi was actively devouring the Great Wisdom Root Realm, he instead turned the tradition of his practice of "The Great Wisdom Sutra" into relics and passed them on to Zhou Tieyi.
If Zhou Tieyi is determined and chooses to inherit the Taoist tradition in the relic at this time, then his newly evolved star kingdom will be able to separate good from evil again and cut off the root of evil, thereby avoiding the backlash of the five decays of heaven and man and the source of all evil under the waters of the Forgetful River!
This is the way to make peace!
After being interrupted by Tian's father, Mo Jian sighed and said, "No regrets in making a move. Teacher, are you still unwilling to tell me which move you made?"
Hearing his disciple's question, Father Tian took off his tortoise-shell glasses, but this time the light in his eyes was far less bright than when he first took off his tortoise-shell glasses to meet Zhou Tieyi. Instead, it was dull.
Seeing this situation, Mo Jian was shocked, as if he had thought of something!
Tian's father said to his apprentice, "The Taoist sage once said, 'To learn is to make progress day by day, to practice Taoism is to lose day by day, to lose again and again, until one reaches inaction, to do nothing and yet be able to do everything, just like pushing a boat down the river."
His voice was very soft, but it was like thunder in Mo Jian's heart!
Father Tian continued, "You are too impatient. You advised me to lose my Dao for today's battle, thinking that you could completely contain me and make Mocheng unable to support me. But have you ever thought about where my lost Dao went?"
