Chapter 293 The Dao Begins with Me, the Mysterious Ancestor of All Realms
In the mortal world, a few days passed.
Songyun Dynasty.
The impact of the old emperor's murder finally began to show, and there were unusual movements in various places.
However, the most prestigious King Dingnan did not take any action, so other families did not dare to be the first to take action.
Seeing that the situation could go wrong at any time, the royal family and the civil service group did not dare to delay any longer and immediately announced to the world that the emperor had a sudden serious illness and died of the disease.
He also helped the oldest prince to succeed to the throne, and in accordance with the "last emperor's will", he appointed three regents to preside over the old emperor's funeral arrangements.
The whole capital was in mourning, and singing, dancing, and drinking in public were prohibited...
This was naturally the result of the new emperor's compromise with the civil service group.
After all, the old emperor was killed by Xiao Fan, and he himself was still thinking about seeking immortality through "immortality". He didn't even have a crown prince, so where was the "last will"?
However, there is still a lot of room for manipulation in this matter.
How can life and death be the same?
However, not long after, the disciples of Ziqing Temple who remained in the capital were inexplicably killed.
Apart from the royal family, the largest force outside the civil service group disappeared.
The new emperor was terrified, and the civil service group was also somewhat confused, but without this major check and balance, their power reached its peak.
……
……
It was late at night and the candlelight was dim in the imperial study.
There was no one else inside, only the new emperor of the Songyun Dynasty standing with his hands behind his back.
He had a tall and straight figure, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a good-looking appearance.
Now in his prime, he looked very similar to the old emperor when he was young. Even when motionless, he had a profound and majestic aura that was intimidating.
But at this moment, there was an indelible fatigue between his brows.
He was very happy when he first gave birth to his first child.
After all, no one wants to be a prince for life, let alone he is not a prince yet...
Not to mention he, even his brothers, who wouldn't want the supreme position?
But when he actually sat in this position, he found that the current situation was a bit complicated.
The three regents were his promise.
I had wanted to use the immortal masters of Ziqing Temple to provide some checks and balances, after all, they really have magical powers!
As a result, not long after, the immortal masters of Ziqing Temple were killed.
"Ah~"
With a light sigh, the new emperor rubbed his brows and couldn't help sighing.
"Father, you have been seeking immortality for many years, but I am afraid you will not know until you die that a true immortal is right beside you."
If there had not been that earth-shattering battle that day, who would have known that those people in Ziqing Temple really had such magical powers.
No wonder those Taoists from Ziqing Temple looked at him without any respect at all, and sometimes even looked at him as if he were an ant.
At the time I thought it was just an illusion, but now I think...
Possessing such overwhelming and extraordinary power, even the Emperor and the Fifth Lord would be like dirt in his eyes.
"Ah~"
He sighed again.
If I had such great power, this situation could be easily resolved.
With worries in his heart, he walked back to the imperial desk, picked up his brush and wrote two large, vigorous characters on the spread of rice paper - Cheng Yu!
This is his name. The Songyun Dynasty was quite worshipful of Taoism because of the founding emperor.
According to my mother, it was taken from a legendary immortal with great supernatural powers...
Staring at the two words on it, he suddenly felt a little impatient and reached out to throw it away.
Huhu~!
The candle flame flickered, as if a gust of cold wind was blowing in, howling non-stop.
The most filthy and foul aura filled everything. Faintly, one could hear the howling of a broken dragon and a pair of dark eyes looking towards him.
The new emperor suddenly felt a great fear in his heart. Just as he was about to shout, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes. His consciousness seemed to fall into an endless abyss, and he collapsed directly into the chair.
But the next second!
He suddenly opened his eyes, and his gaze became deep and dark, like two slowly rotating black whirlpools.
The candlelight, which had not yet returned to normal, caused his shadow to shake, and it seemed as if twisting ripples appeared in the air.
It was low and complex, like the mutterings of tens of thousands of ghosts chanting at the same time.
Demon Lord!
Demon Lord!
If a mortal heard this, he would become mentally disturbed and crazy!
Yes, this person is the Demon Lord Cheng Yu from the filthy world.
After sitting quietly for a long time, a long and distant sound echoed.
"Xiao Yu..."
Cheng Yu's eyes were filled with emotions like raging waves.
Until now, he still couldn't believe it.
He has achieved perfection in returning to the void and has been blessed with the power of the filthy world. Even none of Taixuantian's gang of old guys can be his match.
But that Xiaoyu...
His fighting power is so strong that it is simply unbelievable!
Once the so-called 'Dharma image' was activated, it directly confronted him head-on, and beat him so hard that he had no power to fight back despite the blessing of the filthy world.
What's even more outrageous is that his Dharma image is not a melee type...
He was hit by a divine thunder and almost died!
When Cheng Yu thought of the abstract image of Xiaoyu shouting "Close combat is my hobby, but magical powers are my talent" during the final pursuit, and beating him like a dog, he felt aggrieved.
If I hadn't detonated the filth world's favor to me at the last moment, blocking him for a moment, I might have really died at his hands!
"As expected of someone from the Supreme Taixuan Realm..."
If I could also go to the supreme Taixuan realm, why would I be afraid of him!
pity……
Cheng Yu calmed down and then looked out.
For now, he could only recuperate in this mortal world first, and wait until the group of people from the Supreme Taixuan Realm left, and then look for a way to eliminate his sins. Then he could accumulate merits...
Soon, the huge capital city appeared in his eyes, and everything was just like observing the lines on the palm of his hand.
Three foundation-building masters with incredibly strong auras gathered together, and next to them was a golden elixir with an equally terrifying aura.
"..."
He suddenly began to doubt whether all his years of practice had been in vain.
Are all practitioners in the Supreme Taixuan Realm so terrifying?
Cheng Yu, feeling a little tired, stopped paying attention and instead focused his attention on the free purple air floating above the capital.
"Ziqing Temple..."
Although he was seriously injured, his vision was still there.
This floating purple air was clearly left behind after the death of those hypocritical guys in Ziqing Temple.
A bunch of man-eating monsters, and they still have the nerve to call themselves righteous.
"Oh, this is just the right nourishment for me to recover."
Cheng Yu opened his mouth and sucked.
The purple air seemed to be attracted and floated together, and was swallowed into his mouth.
In an instant, the purple energy was refined into pure vitality.
It's just this amount...
Forget it.
Inspiration is rare in the mortal world, so it's good to have one, and he doesn't mind it.
Cheng Yu stood up from his chair, walked around the imperial desk and went out, but in his heart he recalled some past events because of the purple air he swallowed into his stomach.
Ziqing Temple was originally just an unknown small sect.
But no one knew where they got this method of 'refining humans into elixirs', and since then they have risen all the way to become a famous sect in Taixuantian.
Of course, this kind of method is not uncommon. He had been to the outside world and some small worlds around it, where there were also some small sects and schools that also had methods of refining pills.
There are many cannibals in the Three Heavens, but I, who don't eat people, have become the 'Demon Lord'. It's really...
However, I am not a good person either.
Arriving outside the imperial study, Cheng Yu calmed down. The purple air he had just swallowed moved slightly, causing him to look up inadvertently.
But it was just this one glance!
This one glance made him freeze in place.
But at this moment, the night sky, which should have been filled with a silver moon and dotted with stars, was now covered by endless purple air.
The sky seemed like it would collapse at any time, but it also seemed as if one could glimpse countless profound principles, or even the Tao itself!
I don’t know how deep it is, I don’t know how far it is, it’s so mysterious and hard to describe.
The primordial chaos that seems to have existed since time immemorial is the starting point of all extraordinary things.
The beginning of Tao, the source of law.
Silently, purple air rolled up, revealing a pair of indifferent eyes that filled the universe, evolved all things, covered the entire world, and blocked all perceptions.
Cheng Yu met his gaze.
boom!
In an instant!
He just felt as if his past, his aspirations, and everything else were seen through and analyzed.
It's like standing naked in the snow.
"The Tao was my beginning, the mysterious ancestor of all realms."
Grand, ethereal, vast...
It seems that all the adjectives in the world can be used to describe this sound, echoing in the heart yet shaking the entire world.
The ancestor of Taoism!
"Say..." Cheng Yu stretched out his hand tremblingly.
It seems that he wants to grasp the source of the extraordinary and the infinite insights.
However, in the blink of an eye, the sky was clear, the moonlight was shining, and the stars dotted the night sky.
It was as if everything that just happened was just an illusion.
Cheng Yu stood there in a daze, with one hand raised, like a frozen wax figure.
"His Majesty!"
A sharp, somewhat anxious voice came from the side.
It was a fair-skinned eunuch who was running hurriedly from a distance, and then knelt in front of Cheng Yu in a tiger-like posture.
"Slave..."
"I'm fine."
Cheng Yu put down his hand, closed his eyes and let out a breath.
"Go down, I'll be alone."
"But, Your Majesty, this servant..."
The eunuch pressed his forehead to the ground, wanting to say something.
"I said, go down." Cheng Yu opened his eyes, with a hint of impatience in his tone.
In an instant, the eunuch's eyes became a little dull, and then he stood up woodenly, turned around and left.
After all, he has reached the state of returning to the void, so it is easy for him to deal with an ordinary person.
Cheng Yu stared at the sky for a long time until the eunuch walked away. Then he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and turned back to the imperial study.
With a wave of his hand, the door closed as if pulled by an invisible force.
Cheng Yu walked quickly to the imperial desk and sat down on the chair.
Leaning back in his chair, he took two deep breaths and then closed his eyes.
In his sea of consciousness, purple, extremely gorgeous runes were flowing, and the light was spilling, making him feel that his injuries had recovered a lot.
I don’t know its shape, but I know its meaning!
This Dharma is called——
The Dao Begins to Anchor
Use your own Tao to echo the ancestor of Tao, and use it as an anchor to pull yourself together, break through boundaries and rise up, and enter Taixuan!
There is no need to eliminate one’s own sins, nor is there any need for perfection from outsiders.
This is a gift from the founder of Taoism!
He, too, can ascend! (End of this chapter)
