"It's not enough to just understand. We have to start promoting it and change the old stereotypes. We can't let people eat and use your mother's things while thinking about your father."
"Hmm...why do I feel like you're cursing?"
"That's absolutely not the case!"
"Anyway, let's put all that aside for now. I haven't finished talking about the main point yet."
The Queen Mother of the West finally brought the topic back on track:
"My younger brother was still young at the time, and not only did he not remember these things, he also had no impression of his older brothers who had grown up and gone out to work.
However, my brother and I still remember it clearly, and at that time my brother had already achieved great success and could see more than I did.
After his parents left, he tried many times to open the door like his father, but each time ended in failure. Until he finally achieved his father's achievement, he discovered that the door had been blocked for a long time.
This became a thorn in his side until you appeared.
He firmly believed that you and your father had opened the door, so he studied it day and night, trying to find out the pattern.
Finally, he discovered that you all did the same thing before you transcended."
"Being dismembered?"
"Yes, my father and mother transformed themselves into all things, and you sent your remaining body to every corner of the universe. It is actually the same nature. Therefore, my brother guessed that the most important thing to open the door is to destroy it and then rebuild it, to find hope in despair."
"That's still the same question. He didn't destroy before he built. Why did he end up causing chaos in the Three Pure Ones Realm?"
“That’s where his brilliance lies.”
The Queen Mother of the West said with a little awe and worship:
“He has only one chance to rebuild himself after he has broken down. If he fails, all his cultivation will be lost, and his soul will never be rebuilt. However, all he needs is the door. It doesn’t matter whether he opens the door or not. So why not let the Three Pure Realms, which have evolved a stable world will equivalent to the Supreme God, be the one to open the door?
First, let the Three Pure Worlds fall into chaos, and then use the people living in it to fight each other until the entire world is shattered, secretly matching the solution of the weapons. In this way, there will also be a chance to open that door.
Even if he fails in the end, he can use it as a trial and error to accumulate experience and verify some of his conjectures. Once he succeeds, even if the final result is that only those who open the door can enter, he will be able to master the rules and can then proceed with confidence.
In the final analysis, this is just an experiment of his. Whether it succeeds or not, he can stay out of it. The only ones who will suffer are the creatures in the Three Pure Ones Realm. "
Hearing this, Jiang Lu was stunned and couldn't help but applaud: "Master! Otherwise, he is the sixth one?"
Just as Jiang Lu was recalling the full picture of the incident analyzed by the Queen Mother of the West, he suddenly noticed a detail.
"Hmm? If I heard you correctly, didn't you just say...the entity of the sacrifice is actually the will of the world?"
Queen Mother of the West nodded: "Yes, the key lies in the world will of the Three Pure Ones. To achieve this, we must first let the lives of the Three Pure Ones suffer and lose hope of life, so that the world will will decline on its own. Apart from this method, even if my brother personally destroys this world, although it is very slow, after billions of years, the Three Pure Ones will eventually reshape itself."
"Well..."
Jiang Lu suddenly thought of something.
Speaking of which...when he was given the task of bringing Jin Yao to Kunlun Mountain, I had doubts at the time, but now I am almost certain that it should be the will of the world, right?
Was this a premonition of the misfortune that was about to happen to him, so he took corresponding actions?
But why not let him go to Yuanshi Tianzun, but to the Queen Mother of the West?
Although he could not defeat Yuanshi Tianzun, could he defeat the Queen Mother of the West?
Or...the Queen Mother of the West is not actually the final BOSS that Jin Yao needs to help defeat?
Until now, Jiang Lu finally remembered the original purpose of coming here.
"Speaking of which...have you been feeling unwell recently?" Jiang Lu suddenly asked.
Queen Mother Xi thought for a moment and said with some caution: "You will have your period in the next two days, so don't be so foolish."
"Ah, what a pity." Jiang Lu sighed subconsciously at first, then reacted and waved his hands hurriedly: "I'm not asking you that, I mean, do you have any spiritual connection, any bad premonition or something like that?"
He is testing.
Based on the clues obtained from Lu Qing, it can be judged that Queen Mother of the West knows the news that Jin Yao has broken the seal, so her attitude towards this is very important.
He wanted to verify what role she played and what position she stood on in the game between Yuanshi Tianzun and the will of the world.
Queen Mother Xi looked into Jiang Lu's eyes and suddenly smiled: "You want to ask how I view my three corpse spirits, right?"
"Uh..." Jiang Lu felt a little embarrassed when his little secret was exposed in front of him.
But he was also relieved at the same time. It seemed that the Queen Mother of the West was very clear about the current situation, and maybe she even knew what he was doing here.
Thinking of this, he asked directly: "You know why I am here, right?"
Queen Mother Xi did not answer, but instead said: "Everything in the world has its destiny. You once debated with me about the matter of beheading the three corpses, which inspired me and gradually changed my view, causing the seal to no longer be strong. Then, in the dark, you will definitely do something to continue to promote this matter, otherwise it will not be perfect after all."
"So it is destined that only I can unlock the seal?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Queen Mother Xi shook her head: "But I did expect you to appear, so it doesn't surprise me."
While Jiang Lu was thinking, she continued, “Not only that, I also sent Lu Qing to pick him up.
I had seen this day many years ago, and had a premonition that it would be difficult for me and my three corpse spirits to meet each other.
I want to find someone who is naturally obscure and can deceive the perception of heaven and earth to escort the person who will unlock the seal for me, shield him from any potential prying eyes, and let him reach Kunlun Mountain safely."
Jiang Lu suddenly realized that everything made sense now.
Not only did he find the answer to why Lu Qing was able to successfully get down the mountain without telling his master, but he also understood why there were so many unexpected problems at the beginning. Even a little gambling for fun would result in arrest by the law enforcement bureau, but after getting on the train and meeting Lu Qing, everything went smoothly without any unexpected problems.
"Who wants to stop you?"
Queen Mother Xi chuckled: "A lot, but these many people actually only represent one person."
"Yuanshi Tianzun?"
"Yes."
The Queen Mother of the West said leisurely:
“My brother is a very cunning person. If you hadn’t enlightened me, and if I hadn’t sought his help after I was confused, which made me notice some clues, I probably wouldn’t have discovered it in my life. He didn’t kill the three corpses himself, but he taught me to practice and kill the three corpses.
In order to prevent me from discovering this secret, a world was created for me where everyone had to kill three corpses."
"My dynasty? The Truman Show Queen Mother of the West boundary?"
After hearing this, Jiang Lu felt a chill.
Yuanshi Tianzun was a little too sinister. Even he had not thought of this. He almost succeeded and actually created such an environment, misleading everyone for tens of millions of years.
"Why did he do this?"
"Why?" Queen Mother of the West said sadly, "It's nothing more than that, except for me who has the blood of Pangu the Great and my useless brother, there is no one else in the world who can match him? He is not worried about my brother, but he is worried about me. Therefore, he wants me to have deficiencies in my practice. It's that simple."
Chapter 355 Reunion
If you're not careful, you'll be tricked by the Queen Mother of the West.
Although she is also supreme, she is still a little inferior to the Three Pure Ones and is a level lower.
So when she said this, from Jiang Lu's subjective feeling, it felt like a very fat person being asked "Why do people think thinness is beautiful?", and then answering "Why else? Isn't it because they are jealous of my beauty and worried that I will become the most beautiful woman in the world?"
Anyway, it’s not me who is wrong, it’s this world.
However, if I think about it neutrally and objectively, I feel that what the Queen Mother of the West said makes sense.
Yuanshi Tianzun became famous very early and lived from the same era as Lingbao Daode. So at least this group of people of the same generation as him, no matter what method they practiced, were not influenced by Yuanshi's theory of beheading the three corpses.
Their way of practice is not perfect, but at least it is not so outrageous. In a sense, it is equivalent to reaching the upper limit. However, having reached the upper limit, they are still far behind Yuanshi Tianzun.
But the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East are different. If there is anyone who can possibly reach the same limit as Yuanshi Tianzun, it is only these two people who also have the blood of Pangu and are Yuanshi’s direct relatives.
So how can we make them always one level behind us?
Discourage their enthusiasm for learning? No, they have talent, and they will improve sooner or later with hard work.
Kneeling on the ground and saying "Sister, brother, please don't surpass me, otherwise I will hang myself at the gate of Yuxu Palace"? No, the coward group doesn't want to give any points.
PUA them? No, that won't work. The King of the East is fine, but the Queen Mother of the West is an independent woman with her own ideas and does not rely on others. She won't fall for PUA.
So, the mean Yuanshi Tianzun came up with a good idea.
Eh? Can't I just point them in the wrong direction? Not only is the stuff they are taught to practice useless, but if I just let them practice in the opposite direction, how can I worry that they won't fail?
Although it is not known how Yuanshi Tianzun made those people who had already attained enlightenment shut up and not expose his scam, perhaps it was coercion or bribery. In any case, he was the boss, so anything is possible.
However, the immortals who came after them were indeed all killed to the limit by Yuanshi in this way, including the Queen Mother of the West.
In order to consolidate this cognition, Taiyi Zhenren played an extremely important role.
As a very famous immortal, either a god or a Golden Immortal, Taiyi made a big splash in the Battle of the Gods. He was well-known not only in the entire fairy world but also in the mortal world.
He had an extremely tragic ending because he failed to kill the three corpses. This was a living negative example for everyone, a wake-up call for everyone, and served to urge those who wanted to become immortals to kill the three corpses.
That's the power of example.
With his previous experience as a lesson, of course no one dared to challenge the Three Corpses.
They are not as famous as Taiyi, and their strength is far inferior to his. How dare they try to offend him?
If you break the law, the result will be eternal damnation, so no one dares to take that risk.
In fact, Jiang Lu was deeply influenced by this situation, otherwise he would not have thought that he was taking a different approach by not killing the three corpses, but in fact this was the original right way.
So even though he was very radical, he was just questioning and did not completely deny it.
But judging from the perspective of cultivation in the era before Taiyi, he, as a radical, was actually too conservative.
At this point, the cause and effect invented by Yuanshi has become an axiom that no one can violate.
It can be said that this whole process directly created such a wrong environment from the root, which was actually just to mislead the Queen Mother of the West.
From this perspective, Yuanshi Tianzun started with the nine-year compulsory education and brought disaster to the textbooks. He has a very bad conscience.
But it is indeed useful. If Queen Mother of the West had not met Jiang Lu, awakened, and successfully opened her eyes to see the world, perhaps he would have been kept in the dark until his death.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu's impression of Yuanshi Tianzun, which was not good to begin with, further deteriorated.
"This is digging up the roots of immortal cultivation..." Even he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"That's right, so I rarely interacted with him later." Queen Mother of the West said calmly.
"What he did is equivalent to forcibly cutting off the upper limit of the Three Pure Ones Realm. If we were to fight with other worlds, we would suffer a great loss because they are perfect in Taoism and we are lacking in cultivation." Jiang Lu said solemnly.
"This is not the point that needs to be considered." Although Queen Mother of the West did not like Yuanshi Tianzun's approach, she was still very objective on this issue: "He will not take the initiative to attack others. Even if there are foreign enemies, unless all the heavens and the worlds are of one mind, relying on the geographical advantage, my brother, together with his spiritual treasures and morality, is enough to keep them all out."
Jiang Lu thought about it and agreed: "That's fine."
