Chapter 336: The Bronze Mirror's Cavernous Heavenly Projection and the Pure Yang Edict
Chapter 336: The Bronze Mirror's Cavernous Heavenly Projection and the Pure Yang Edict
Xu Qingzhu stayed at Qingshui's for a few days, and then Xu Xuanhu personally sent him to Sangnan's.
"Qingzhu, if you don't want to go, then don't go."
"Brother, you've said this many times along the way. You're really nagging."
"Forehead."
Xu Qingzhu was not at all nervous about going alone to the unfathomable Tianhe Taoist Sect.
Xu Xuanhu saw this and felt less worried. He also felt relieved, because he was a member of the Xu family after all.
When they arrived at Sangnan clan, Xu Xuanhu mainly discussed trade with Sangnan clan and the establishment of a fairyland in Sangnan clan, while Xu Qingzhu went to see the ancestor Mu Sang.
...
...
A few days later, Xu Qingzhu followed Mu Sang Patriarch into an underground palace with a dark river. Mu Sang Patriarch took out a bottomless boat magic weapon, which was only the size of a palm, and dropped it on the water. With the rising tide, it soon became a flat boat that could carry people.
Xu Qingzhu was not afraid and got on the bottomless fairy boat.
Patriarch Mu Sang stroked his beard and smiled, "Qingzhu, I am finally able to visit Tianhe Dao Sect in person thanks to your blessing."
Xu Qingzhu was curious: "Senior Mu Sang has never been to Tianhe Dao Sect?"
Patriarch Mu Sang shook his head: "I have always been in a state where my true spirit leaves my body. There are many taboos when entering Tianhe Dao Sect in this state. I don't even have time to see what's going on inside the immortal sect."
Xu Qingzhu said with a smile: "Then you can have a good look at it this time."
Patriarch Mu Sang smiled, he propped up the bottomless boat and moved forward with the dark tide. At some point, the immortal boat began to glow and passed through an invisible barrier.
At this time, Xu Qingzhu looked around and saw that the two of them were already traveling among the stars. His body was insignificant, and a feeling of boredom and loneliness immediately arose in him.
Old Ancestor Mu Sang couldn't help but sing.
He used the barbarian language, with a simple voice, to express his emotions.
Although Xu Qingzhu had made some cram lessons on the barbarian language before, he didn't quite understand the meaning of the lyrics, he just thought the tune was nice.
Coming from the quiet and leaving in the darkness.
It fits the mood of this moment very well.
She couldn't help but think of her eccentric father.
"Qingzhu, you don't have to be afraid of death. One day, when your father becomes enlightened, he will be able to rescue you from the cycle of reincarnation."
How can you be a father like this?
Xu Qingzhu didn't know why, but he felt happy.
Of course, she also hopes that she can become enlightened, so that when her father is in trouble in the future, she can rescue him from the cycle of reincarnation...
However, what Xu Qingzhu remembered most was another sentence from Xu Qing.
"No matter what, I hope you don't have to live for the recognition of others in this life."
This is a father's most straightforward and simple beautiful expectation for his daughter.
This truth was something Xu Qing had spent his entire past life to understand. Many troubles in life come from this.
Recognition from family, recognition from relatives and friends, recognition from society, and even recognition from enemies.
It’s so tiring to live like this.
...
...
"Qingzhu, this is Chongshui Peak, one of the thirty-six peaks of Tianhe."
The Heavy Water Peak is made entirely of monatomic heavy water. Although it is just a mountain standing in the Milky Way, it is larger than Mars as a whole and is home to countless living creatures.
Most of these creatures are aquatic.
In the Taixu Universe, for ordinary creatures, being able to grow up in the Tianhe Dao Sect is already a great fortune.
Many of these creatures were envious when they saw Xu Qingzhu riding on the bottomless fairy boat into the Heavy Water Peak.
Because there have been rumors in the sect that a true inner sect disciple will be coming in soon.
It should be noted that many descendants of the elders of Tianhe Taoist Sect can only wander around in the Taoist temple throughout their entire lives.
The gazes Xu Qingzhu felt were not only filled with envy, but also jealousy and anger...
"Greetings to Master Chongshan." Elder Mu Sang took Xu Qingzhu and bowed to a young Taoist priest.
This is the real person who came to guide Xu Qingzhu into the sect, and he is also the chief disciple of Chongshui Peak.
He looked stern and said, "No matter where you come from, as a disciple of Tianhe Dao Sect, you have to shoulder this honor. If you hold back our Chongshui Peak in the Jiazi Grand Competition among the disciples of other peaks, don't blame me for being merciless."
He had no idea about Xu Qingzhu's origins. He only knew that it was a task that was forced upon him by the sect leader Su Qinghe, and it was said that Elder Zhong had also given him a heads-up.
The Five Elders of Tianhe had a high status in Tianhe Dao Sect. Chongshan naturally did not dare to disobey Elder Zhong's wishes, but since he had joined Tianhe Dao Sect, he had to abide by the rules of Tianhe Dao Sect.
Once he finds out that Xu Qingzhu is not worthy of the honor of Tianhe's true teachings, he will ruthlessly expel him from the sect.
Xu Qingzhu did not refute the other party's words. Before achieving results, any verbal rebuttal would be powerless.
Dad said that she didn't need to work hard for other people's recognition, but Xu Qingzhu thought that she didn't want to be looked down upon by others and that they thought she was not worthy of being Xu Qing's daughter.
...
...
"Bronze mirror!"
Xu Qing looked at the bronze mirror that appeared in front of him. No one could see it except him. What really surprised him was that there was a cave in the bronze mirror.
It was the Great Witch Cave Heaven connected to Kuafu’s Scepter that I entered last time.
The issue is……
There is no one in this cave.
Not right.
The reason why the bronze mirror showed this slight change was that an inexplicable aura was injected into it.
Xu Qing calculated the time and found that the good fortune came at about the same time as Qingzhu joined Tianhe Taoist Sect.
There is definitely a connection between the two.
Because although Xu Qing himself could not see his own luck, he could use the Heavenly Demon Eye to see other people's luck. This was the Heavenly Demon's Qi-Seeing Technique.
He pondered for a moment, then used his magic to enter the cave in the bronze mirror.
"Inside here..."
Xu Qing discovered that the situation inside was exactly the same as the last time he explored Kuafu Cave.
so……
An idea popped up in Xu Qing's mind, and then he came out of the cave in the mirror and came to Tiangongyuan.
At this time, Master Tianling and others were using some strange mechanisms and magic weapons to explore the Kuafu Cave and report the scenes inside.
But Xu Qing didn't see these things in the cave of the bronze mirror just now.
The bronze mirror actually replicated the Kuafu Cave?
Xu Qing suddenly had an absurd idea, but it was very likely to be close to the truth.
Luck and cave?
For a while, Xu Qing couldn't figure out many things.
But the bronze mirror did not provide any explanation for this matter.
Xu Qing suddenly felt extremely weak.
"Not good." He finally realized that something was wrong. The bronze mirror's cave heaven could appear, in addition to the luck, it also absorbed the Yuan Qi of Xu Qing's demon body. And Xu Qing didn't realize it until now.
This incident truly made Xu Qing feel an indescribable sense of crisis.
What exactly does the bronze mirror want to do?
Theoretically speaking, the bronze mirror is Xu Qing's real body, and Xu Qing's current demonic consciousness is actually the mirror spirit of the bronze mirror. Unfortunately, Xu Qing cannot figure out all the mysteries of the bronze mirror.
And replicating the cave heaven with the bronze mirror is more like an instinct.
Could it be that if it has enough luck and vital energy, it can also replicate the Dayu Dynasty?
Could it be that replicating everything in the outside world is the real purpose of the bronze mirror?
An idea popped up in Xu Qing's mind. The highest and most profound magic of heaven is to transform all living beings with formlessness. It can be said that he can use the primordial magic energy to transform all living beings freely.
And isn’t the freedom of transformation into another a kind of replication?
The bronze mirror replicates the cave world, and Xu Qing can use heavenly magic to evolve living beings.
Wouldn’t it be a world infinitely close to reality if the two were combined?
But what's the point of this kind of thing?
At this moment, Xu Qing wished he could see the shadow of Sakyamuni again.
Unfortunately, the other party had already left Mars with the Leiyin Temple.
When Xu Qing thought of this, he simply used the Transformation Technique and went directly to Yingtian Prefecture to meet Lord Fang.
"Just tell me if you have something to say. I'm sleepy." Lord Fang yawned.
Xu Qing couldn't help but complain in his heart, you sleep so long every day, how can you be sleepy?
Could it be that Lao Fang was daydreaming while he was sleeping?
Xu Qing complained a few times in his heart, and then told a rather fantastical story. The content of the story was about the bronze mirror and the demonic world.
"This story sounds a bit like Buddhism. All conditioned phenomena are like dreams and bubbles..." said Elder Fang slowly.
"Do you think that the world we live in is a projection of another world?" Xu Qing thought that the history of the Dayu Dynasty was similar to his previous life.
Many celebrities are also compared one by one.
Elder Fang: "Why don't you think that our world is a projection of another world?"
Xu Qing was stunned.
Naturally, he subconsciously believed that his previous life was real.
But is this really the case?
Elder Fang smiled slightly: "When the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false; when nothing is made to appear, something becomes nothing."
Xu Qing really wanted to complain that he had copied the couplet, but you were not polite and used it directly.
But when Xu Qing looked into Fang Ge Lao's eyes, he suddenly felt that Lao Fang's eyes looked so young and profound at this moment.
Can youth and depth go together?
But this is exactly the feeling that Lao Fang gives him now.
He always felt that since the departure of the Black Mountain Old Demon, Lao Fang had become more and more unpredictable.
He doesn't give people a very strong feeling, but once he comes in front of Lao Fang, people feel that he is not strong enough.
This is also the reason why Xu Qing doesn't like to look for Lord Fang.
Now he doesn’t understand what kind of weird thing Lord Fang has created.
However, with Lord Fang in the Dayu Dynasty, Xu Qing felt at ease, and the emperor also felt at ease.
Sometimes being able to rely on your parents is a kind of happiness.
Xu Qing was about to say something else, but Lao Fang had already closed his eyes and dozed off. His even breathing, old face, and skinny body all proved that he was just an old man and there was nothing to be afraid of.
But Xu Qing understood that it was an illusion, everything was an illusion.
Then he left Fang's house.
"Doesn't this mean that I didn't get to know anything on this trip?" Xu Qing walked out of Fang's house and realized that he had been fooled.
Did Lao Fang say that?
Yes.
What did you say?
That really doesn't say anything.
To appease the child!
Xu Qing was a little angry, but there was nothing he could do.
But he felt at peace.
No matter what changes the bronze mirror has, he will try his best to become stronger.
...
...
Xu Qing didn't know that a fairy boat was traveling in the starry sky, and then constantly arranged space formations, activated space formations, and flashed in the starry sky.
There were only two Taoists on the immortal boat, both of whom had the aura of a celestial immortal.
"Junior Brother Yin, this time we followed the orders of the headmaster to distribute the Pure Yang Talisman, but unfortunately we got the one that was the farthest away."
“No matter how far it is, it is still the ancestral home of our sect. Senior Brother Zhao, please don’t complain.”
"I heard that the spiritual energy in the Chunyang Realm is now scarce and the Taoist tradition is declining. It looks like no one will be able to produce a Yuanshen Earth Immortal. I think we'll make a wasted trip this time." Senior Brother Zhao couldn't help but complain.
These Taoist masters were not born in the Chunyang Realm, so they have no feelings for the ancestral temple of their sect.
In fact, although it is called the ancestral temple, it is just the natal cave of Patriarch Chunyang, and it is disturbed by the ripples of the cosmic light of the Taiqing Bell in the middle. One day inside is one year outside.
It was not until recent years that the ripples of the cosmic light dissipated, and the speed of time in the Pure Yang Realm became consistent with that in the outside world.
Therefore, the Chunyang Taoist Sect outside has been developing for countless tens of thousands of years, while only a few thousand years have passed in the Chunyang Realm.
Therefore, even if the Taoist tradition of the Pure Yang Realm does not decline, it is far from being comparable to the current Pure Yang Taoist Sect.
Moreover, due to the existence of the Universe Light Ripples, once someone in the Pure Yang Realm advances to the Celestial Immortal Realm, it will easily trigger the Five Degenerations of Celestial Beings. Therefore, even if someone in the Pure Yang Realm obtains the Pure Yang Dao and becomes a Celestial Immortal, if they cannot leave quickly, they will most likely trigger the Five Degenerations of Celestial Beings, and their cultivation will become a pipe dream.
"The headmaster said that if there is no immortal from our Pure Yang sect there, we must find a way to train one."
"The headmaster told me about this?"
"Yes, it's in the talisman, but you didn't see it yourself, Brother Zhao."
"Then we are even more unlucky."
Although Master Zhao has the cultivation level of a celestial being, his foundation is not solid. If he were to stay in the Pure Yang Realm, where spiritual energy is scarce, for too long, it would definitely be detrimental to his cultivation. If he were to be infected by the bad luck of the Pure Yang Realm, the Five Decays of Heaven and Man might come to him many years earlier than others. By then, he would have no place to cry.
Master Yin sighed secretly. He and Master Zhao were all forcibly trained by the Chunyang Taoist Sect in order to deal with the four major Taoist sects' discussion of Taoism and destruction of gods.
It can be said that the reason they were able to become celestial beings was not because of their great aptitude, but because they took the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill that Chunyang Dao Zong paid a huge price to ask Taishang Dao Zong to refine.
This Nine Revolutions Golden Pill can make a person instantly become an immortal. Taking one of the best quality Nine Revolutions Golden Pills can even allow one to directly attain Daluo.
However, no one in the current Tai Shang Dao can refine the top-grade Nine Revolutions Golden Pill.
Even for these Nine Revolutions Golden Pills today, the resources required are far more than those required to normally cultivate a celestial immortal.
But the Chunyang Taoist sect is a large and powerful sect, and in order to save time, they don't care about this at all.
After the Dao-Discussion and God-Destroying Ceremony begins, if the Chunyang Dao Sect can take the opportunity to defeat the Bodhi Dao Sect and join the ranks of the four major Dao sects, these resources will be quickly recovered.
In the Taixu Universe, the four major Taoist sects are more than just names.
Master Yin also knows a very important secret.
There will be a great catastrophe in the Taixu Universe every once in a while. The fate of people from the four major Taoist sects and those not from the four major Taoist sects during the catastrophe will be very different.
If one is born in one of the four major Taoist sects, even if he dies in a disaster, at worst he can become a god of incense.
If he had not been born in one of the four great Taoist sects, he would have been reduced to ashes and would not even have had the chance to have an afterlife.
It is said that all this is related to the Taixu Mirror, the fundamental magical treasure of the Taixu universe.
The Taixu Mirror is not only the foundation for the birth of the Taixu Universe, but also imprisons and controls the "destiny" of all living beings.
