Chapter 361 Only today did you know that I am me
Inside the Great Yin King's tent, a strange blood mist swirled around Xu Qing. The hideous bloodstain between his brows slowly closed, wriggling like a living thing, and finally turned into a mysterious pattern of black and white, emitting a heart-pounding aura.
In these patterns, one can vaguely see the yin and yang energies like two ancient dragons, constantly entangled, fighting, and blending with each other, demonstrating a power that transcends the common sense of the world.
The Tai Chi Universe Circle was suspended above Xu Qing's head, and a soft light enveloped his body. This light seemed gentle, but it contained the power of creation. With the help of this power, Xu Qing successfully survived the most terrifying of the five declines of heaven and man, the decline of the heart of Tao.
The aura around him suddenly surged, and an extremely powerful ancient aura spread out. He was successfully promoted to "Taishang Heavenly Demon", and his status was equivalent to Daluo.
To be precise, the Supreme Heavenly Demon is also Daluo, not Taiyi. And this special status is obtained thanks to the Taiji Qiankun Circle.
This is just like the method of beheading the three corpses in the novels of the previous life. Xu Qing placed the consciousness of the demon who had overcome the decline of his Tao heart in the Taiji Qiankun Circle, thus achieving the body of the Supreme Demon. In a sense, Xu Qing at this moment is the true orthodoxy of the Supreme Taoist Sect, and is more legitimate than the leader of the Supreme Taoist Sect.
The most unexpected thing is that the Tai Chi Circle, one of the symbols of the Supreme Dao Sect, would choose Xu Qing. But this is not accidental. In Xu Qing's demon body, the Tai Chi mark formed by the origin of the Tai Chi Circle tightly fits the bronze mirror, like a huge hand, trying to completely seal the bronze mirror.
During this ban, the Tai Chi Universe Circle and the bronze mirror launched a fierce confrontation, and the spiritual essences of both sides fell into complete silence.
Xu Qing seized this opportunity and replaced the Yuan Ling of the Tai Chi Qiankun Circle with his Heavenly Demon Consciousness. He successfully controlled this spiritual treasure and also transformed his own Heavenly Demon status, becoming promoted to the Supreme Heavenly Demon.
At the same time, due to the suppression of the Tai Chi Universe Circle, the bronze mirror's instincts also fell silent. Xu Qing also took this opportunity to further control the bronze mirror and unlock more secrets about it.
It turned out that this bronze mirror was the legendary Taixu Mirror, the origin of the Taixu Universe. The entire Taixu Universe was born from this bronze mirror. However, the bronze mirror was no longer the complete existence that could give birth to the Taixu Universe. It was broken into pieces, and Xu Qing only got the largest piece of the Taixu Mirror fragments.
The only way to repair the Taixu Mirror is to control the three thousand worlds of Taixu and seize the origin of the three thousand worlds.
...
...
Just as Xu Qing completed his transformation, the dramatic changes in Yinxu's time and space were like a huge rock being thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to spread rapidly, alarming the outside world.
On the dark red continent of Lingtai Star Sea, Wuxiang Taoist looked at Zhenwu with horror, and his voice was filled with panic that could not be concealed: "Zhenwu, do you know the meaning of the existence of Yinxu Spacetime? Stop it now."
Zhenwu looked indifferent, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and responded: "I didn't do anything."
Taoist Wuxiang stamped his feet anxiously and said loudly: "Yinxu Spacetime is the team of another universe's heaven. Emperor Ziwei absorbed this fragment of spacetime that has a great cause and effect with the heaven of another world in order to establish the real heaven in Taixu Universe. When Yinxu Spacetime was sealed, in addition to the four major Taoist sects, the first generation of Zhenwu also nodded. Don't you admit it?"
Zhenwu sneered, his tone full of sarcasm: "You said it yourself, that was the first generation of Zhenwu, why would he care about me, Zhang Sloppy?"
Taoist Wu Xiang was furious and shouted, "That's all you."
Zhenwu's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Wuxiang, are you questioning this emperor?"
Taoist Wu Xiang's face flushed red, and he shouted angrily: "If the Heavenly Court appears, we will all be enslaved by it." Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, his face turned pale in an instant, and he shouted in horror: "Xuan Shui Qi, you plan to use the Xuan Shui Qi to help him refine the List of Conferred Gods? You are crazy."
Zhenwu glanced at Taoist Wuxiang and said slowly: "Wuxiang, you are a smart man. Unfortunately, you are not a creature of Taixu, so you don't understand." As he said that, he glanced at the elders of Chunyang and Tianhe Taoist Sects.
Before this, the bigwigs of the two sects had already had extremely secret communications with Zhenwu.
Guo Taiyue, the leader of the Five Elders of Tianhe, stood up and said, "The Taixu Universe is where the saints exiled sinners. If it weren't for Sakyamuni opening the space-time rift inside the Taixu Universe, how could our ancestors be easily sent away by Sakyamuni?"
His words were like a heavy hammer, revealing the truth behind the disappearance of the four great Daoist masters. It turned out that the Taixu universe was actually a prison. The departure of the four great Daoist masters was more like an act of escaping from prison.
Zhenwu looked calm and said calmly: "The Yinxu space-time cycle is flowing, and the Taixu universe is also like this. We don't want to continue to bear the sins and be trapped in the Taixu forever, so we must fight hard."
Taoist Wuxiang said with great sorrow: "Even if you can leave the Taixu universe, you can't leave the Dao domain of the Three Pure Ones. Sakyamuni can't do it, and you can't do it even more. Zhenwu, you have caused a big disaster."
After saying this, he turned into a ball of black smoke, used the Taoist magical power of dividing water, separated the Lingtai star sea, and hurried away.
Seeing this, the other people from the Supreme Dao Sect also hurriedly followed. The people from the Bodhi Dao Sect hesitated for a moment, and finally followed out.
Changchun Zhenjun looked at Zhenwu, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, Wuxiang will definitely inform the leader of Taishang Dao Sect of this matter when he goes there. I'm afraid that things that follow will be quite troublesome." He knew in his heart that Taishang Dao Sect's Eight Trigrams Divine Furnace was the most precious treasure in the world. Once it was fully activated, only the Taixu Mirror and Taiqing Bell in their prime could compete with it.
Moreover, the Supreme Dao Sect has always used all living beings as fuel to ignite the furnace fire, which is why they are so overbearing. If they lose their hegemony over the Taixu Universe, then it will be difficult to obtain fuel for the Bagua Divine Furnace.
Zhenwu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "What happened here cannot be hidden from him. Taoist Wuxiang is sensible. Next, let's wait for that kid to come out, and then discuss the establishment of a new heaven."
Changchun Zhenjun understood and nodded. He secretly understood in his heart that it was no wonder that the ancestor ordered Li Qing to participate in the Lingtai Dharma Assembly. This was a grand plan that had been laid out for a long time and was only beginning to close the net now.
But Changchun Zhenjun was puzzled as to why Li Qing was chosen to be the key executor.
Zhenwu didn't intend to explain. There was a trace of melancholy in his eyes, and an indescribable sense of loss.
...
...
At this time, inside the tent of King Yin, the yin and yang energies were entwined like dragons and snakes, emitting bursts of low roars, as if a thrilling battle was going on.
The black and white lines on Xu Qing's forehead flickered, and the flickering light was like the stars in the sky, sometimes bright, sometimes dim.
The Tai Chi Qiankun Circle in his hand suddenly appeared, vibrating. The bronze mirror inside the circle reflected the shattered void. The shattered scene seemed to foreshadow an impending shocking battle.
When he slowly opened his eyes, the laws of the entire Yinxu space and time were resonating, and the fragments of the Taixu Mirror were projecting the projection of the Three Thousand Worlds into the depths of his pupils, as if his eyes were the channel connecting the Taixu Three Thousand Worlds.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the king's tent suddenly collapsed. The powerful air wave was like a hurricane, blowing away everything around it.
The Taiyi Dao appearance of King Zhou appeared in the void. King Zhou was like a god incarnated. A chaotic blue lotus rose from his left eye, which bloomed with holy light. Every lotus petal contained endless vitality and mystery. The Xuanhuang mother energy fell from his right eye, and that mother energy cascaded down like a waterfall, exuding a heavy and ancient breath.
He was surrounded by the original rhyme of Tao before the creation of the world, as if he was an ancient being walking out of chaos.
"Taiyi is the source of the Great Dao." King Zhou's voice was deep and majestic, as if it echoed from ancient times, causing the void to collapse. "Your Majesty, it is not a good idea to seize the Taiyi Dao Seed with your Heavenly Demon Body. It is better for you to merge with Taiyi and participate in the innate Great Dao together." Xu Qing shook his head, and his fingertips crossed the Taiji Qiankun Circle, and the Yin-Yang fish suddenly reversed.
In an instant, a powerful force burst out from the Tai Chi Qiankun Circle, and the entire space began to distort.
"I don't like sharing the avenue with others." As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, the true body of the Supreme Demon suddenly split into three thousand phantoms.
Each phantom held a Yin-Yang Dao sword, the blade flashing with a cold light. Wherever it pointed, the broken land of Yinxu would burst into dark fire, which spread like a tide, burning everything wherever it passed. This was the original magical power of the Supreme Heavenly Demon: reconstructing the battlefield with the law of reality and illusion, turning the entire space and time into a Yin-Yang millstone, as if to crush everything.
King Zhou sighed upon seeing this, and the Chaos Green Lotus blossomed into 72 petals. Each petal turned into a giant axe that created the universe and fell down. On the axe blade flowed the innate Dao pattern of "one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three". The pattern flashed with mysterious light, and contained the power of creating the universe.
However, Xu Qing's true body had already been integrated into the Tai Chi diagram, and the Yin-Yang fish eyes respectively manifested the bronze mirror and the Qiankun circle. In the Tai Chi diagram, the bronze mirror exuded a mysterious light, and the Qiankun circle circulated the power of Yin and Yang. The two cooperated with each other and swallowed up all the axe light.
The void suddenly fell into an eerie silence, like the calm before a storm.
At this moment, the fragment of the Taixu Mirror suddenly reflected the crack deep in King Zhou's soul. In that crack, half of a cracked Tao Seed was sleeping.
The black and white lines in Xu Qing's pupils surged, and the demon's consciousness followed the mirror light and penetrated into the other party's soul. "It turns out that the Taiyi Dao Seed has been broken." Xu Qing's voice echoed in King Zhou's sea of consciousness, full of ridicule and disdain. "You just used the Chaos Green Lotus to gather the Dao Seed fragments. But where did you get this Green Lotus?"
"A Taoist who claims to be Sakyamuni gave it to me." King Zhou did not hide anything and told Xu Qing the truth directly. As he spoke, he urged the Xuanhuang Mother Qi to try to resist Xu Qing's attack. However, the light of the bronze mirror had penetrated all defenses, and the light was like a sharp sword, piercing King Zhou's vital points.
"Now, it and the Taiyi Dao Seed are both mine." Xu Qing raised his hand and clenched it, and the Taiji diagram turned into a cage, trapping King Zhou inside. The Yin and Yang Qis madly crushed the Chaos Green Lotus, and at the moment the Green Lotus was broken, the Taixu Mirror Light pierced into King Zhou's brow, and the incomplete Taiyi Dao Seed was actually peeled off.
The space and time of Yinxu began to collapse, and huge cracks appeared in the sky, as if the whole world was heading towards destruction.
Countless bronze chains extended from the void, and it was Xu Qing who reordered the world with the appearance of the Supreme. The lines on his forehead extended into an imperial crown, which radiated a majestic light, as if it was a symbol of power; the yin-yang fish under his feet held up 360 star palaces, which flashed with brilliant light, and were the prototype of the ancient heaven.
King Zhou's Taiyi Dao phase collapsed, and a look of bewilderment appeared on his face, but with a hint of relief, he said leisurely: "It seems that the Taixu Mirror has chosen you."
"No." Xu Qing stroked the Taiyi Dao Seed in his hand, "It was this king who chose the Taixu Mirror."
As the words were spoken, the bronze mirror fragments took the initiative to reveal their true form for the first time.
Deep in the cracks on the mirror frame, one can vaguely see the light and shadow of the three thousand worlds flowing.
When Xu Qing pressed the Taiyi Dao Seed into the mirror, the entire Yinxu space-time suddenly shrank, and finally turned into a bright pearl on his imperial crown, emitting a mysterious and powerful light.
The Tai Chi Universe Circle rang softly on his wrist, and the bronze mirror turned into his heart-protecting mirror.
At this moment, Xu Qing stood on the ruins, feeling as if he was holding the sun and the moon tightly and becoming the master of the Taixu universe.
His figure appeared extremely majestic against the backdrop of the light, as if he was the master of this vast universe.
...
...
"It's a pity that you are not Ziwei after all." Zhenwu walked in front of Xu Qing, and his powerful aura brought Xu Qing back to reality.
He was clearly aware that there was still a huge gap between him and Zhenwu.
That kind of gap couldn't be overcome even if he burned everything he had.
They are two completely different levels.
Xu Qing: "Thank you, Emperor, for your help."
Zhenwu: "You're welcome. Your appearance is inevitable."
"I want to know how I came to the Taixu Universe?" Xu Qing knew very well that Zhenwu probably already knew his origins.
This Zhenwu is not simple at all.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu Zhang Lazi, Sakyamuni, the Patriarch Chunyang, the Patriarch Chongyang...
These people are all inextricably linked to the time and space of Xu Qing's previous life.
Zhenwu: "Is it possible that you are originally a living being from the Taixu Universe?"
"What?" Xu Qing was surprised.
Zhenwu said: "The Eight Trigrams Divine Furnace refines all living things. You are one of the burned dust particles. Similarly, after experiencing the burning of the flames of the Eight Trigrams Divine Furnace, there is no power in this world that can destroy you. Do you understand?"
Zhenwu’s words are meaningful.
“What about my experience?”
"You are you, and those experiences were nothing but a big dream. This is the method of enlightenment in dreams of Patriarch Bodhi. You are always you, not someone else." Zhenwu solved Xu Qing's long-standing doubts.
It turns out that his previous life was just a dream, and he was actually Xu Qing.
All I saw was that the tides of the Lingtai star sea were rising and falling, making a loud noise that shook the universe.
Xu Qing couldn't help but think of a sentence.
"I have never done any good deeds in my life, I only love killing people and setting fires. Now the message from the sea of stars has come, and today I know who I am."
