Chapter 409 Pattern
"I want to preach again." Xu Qing looked at Feng Wu, his eyes deep and full of stars. "This time, I will not only talk about martial arts, not only about the path to immortality, but I will also talk about the laws of heaven and earth, the birth and death of the universe, and the evolution of all spirits. Time is running out."
After the news spread, the entire Dayu Immortal Dynasty was in an uproar.
The last time Xu Qing preached, he laid the foundation for the prosperity of Dayu's martial arts and immortality. And this time, it was the existence of the Eternal Calamity who personally taught the Dharma! Its significance far exceeded any previous event.
...
...
Yingtian Prefecture, Zhongshan.
The place where Xu Qing preached was the Yuhuatai located on Zhongshan Mountain. At this time, runes had been engraved on it with his supreme Taoism to draw in the power of the stars.
On the day of the sermon, the sky was filled with brilliant red clouds and auspicious auras, and the platform seemed to have turned into a bright pearl at the center of the universe.
The audience was already packed with people, not just warriors and cultivators, but also countless mortals who were eager to listen to the heavenly music. Wherever good fortune favors, even the grass and trees are radiant.
Xu Qing sat on the Taoist platform. His figure was not tall, but he seemed to be integrated with the whole world. He did not deliberately emit pressure, but the invincible Taoist rhyme flowed naturally, making all living beings feel a kind of awe and closeness from the origin of life.
He didn't say anything, but his mind moved slightly.
In an instant, the entire Yuhuatai and even the sky of the Dayu Immortal Dynasty changed drastically!
The scene of the creation of the universe appeared behind him: the vortex of chaos was spinning, the forces of birth and death were intertwined, the Taiyi Dao seeds were rising and falling, the sun and the moon were shining together, the five elements were moving, and the shadows of the stars in the sky were constantly moving! The grand scene of the creation of the world and the truth of the operation of the laws of the universe were presented to all listeners in the most intuitive and shocking way.
This is not an illusion, but Xu Qing, with his supreme Taoism, projects the imprint of his own Taoism that opened up the universe onto this world!
"The Tao can be spoken of, but it is not the real Tao..."
Xu Qing's voice was no longer as loud as a huge bell, but like the breathing of the heaven and earth itself. Every syllable contained the true meaning of the Tao and was directly imprinted deep in the soul of the listener.
He talked about the essence of chaos, the cycle of birth and death, the balance of yin and yang, the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, the movement of the stars, the bearing of the earth, the budding of life... From the grandeur of the creation of the universe to the subtlety of the growth of plants, he covered everything. He was no longer limited to specific exercises, but went straight to the origin and explained the fundamental laws that supported the existence of all this.
In the audience, countless people were in a state of enlightenment.
Especially the abbot Xiong Chan of the Dachan Temple, when he saw Xu Qing's projection of the avenue chiseling through the "nothingness".
In Xiong Chan's vision, the entire world disappeared, leaving only the thrilling "chisel" in Xu Qing's projection!
It was not a physical collision, but a torrent of will, a sharp edge of faith, and the ultimate negation of "nothingness"! Xu Qing held his hands in the air, as if Pangu was holding an axe. The light that burst out from the source of chaos in his body was not destruction, but the purest "opening up"! The invisible cosmic chisel, facing the absolute nothingness, was precise, resolute, and carried the unquestionable will of "existence", and it chiseled hard.
"laugh!"
The sound of the birth of that bit of "existence" was like the first thunder at the beginning of chaos, exploding deep in Xiong Chan's soul.
"Smash... the vacuum!" Xiong Chan roared in his heart, his eyes were bloodshot, his muscles were knotted, and every muscle was like a living dragon, squirming and bouncing wildly under his skin. The bottleneck of his martial arts, the seemingly indestructible "void" that blocked his way forward, was completely illuminated by the chisel that opened up the world.
"Wrong! Completely wrong!" Xiong Chan's martial arts will roared, "The so-called void is not an external object. It is the 'nothingness' in the heart, the 'stubborn void' of one's own microcosm that has not yet been completely opened up. It is an invisible cage that locks up one's own potential!"
The moment when Xu Qing broke through the void and gave birth to "existence" perfectly interpreted the ultimate truth of martial arts - it is not to break the external void barrier, but to use supreme will and strength to forcibly open up a real "existence" in his own chaotic "microcosm"! What is broken is the inner confusion and the limit of his own potential!
"Open! Open! Open!"
Xiong Chan let out a silent cry in his heart, condensing, compressing and igniting all the martial arts will that he had accumulated throughout his life, the majestic and unparalleled human immortal blood, and the supreme inspiration that was ignited at this moment and came from Xu Qing's Taoist rhyme of creating the world!
Rumble!
It seemed as if billions of miniature stars were exploding simultaneously inside his body.
The three hundred and sixty-five major acupoints were like three hundred and sixty-five ignited points of chaos, spinning, expanding, and erupting with unimaginable torrents of qi and blood.
These torrents were no longer pure brute force, but chaotic energy with the attribute of "opening up"! They were no longer satisfied with the restraint of the acupoints, and like a giant axe that split the sky and the earth, they fiercely crashed into the invisible "void" barrier between the acupoints, outside the meridians, and inside his body.
Click! Click! Click!
Inside Xiong Chan's body, it was as if invisible colored glass was shattering inch by inch! Every shattering was accompanied by the sound of muscles and bones exploding, and the roar of Qi and blood sublimating. His body was no longer a body of flesh and blood, but more like a singularity core that was experiencing the Big Bang! Endless power gushed out from the depths of every cell. It was a terrifying force that was enough to shake the barriers of space in the real world - the power to shatter the vacuum was madly nurturing and condensing in his body!
The true meaning of Tathagata is the Buddha’s kingdom in the palm of your hand!
At this peak moment when the chaos in the body was being opened up and the power to shatter the vacuum was about to take shape, the essence of the Tathagata Palm, the supreme Buddhist skill that Xiong Chan had practiced all his life, was like a lit lamp, producing an unprecedented resonance with this realm of Taoism that created the world.
In the past, when he used the Buddha Palm, he pursued the boundless power of grandeur, solemnity, and suppressing all evil demons. When the palm was out, the Buddha's light shone everywhere, and the swastika circulated, as if to save the entire Saha world.
But at this moment, witnessing Xu Qing "carving" out a bit of "existence" and evolving the chaotic universe, and then seeing the chaotic vortex of birth and death, Xiong Chan's understanding of the word "Tathagata" has undergone a drastic transformation.
"The Tathagata comes on the path of the True Suchness! The True Suchness is the reality of the universe and the origin of all things!"
"The Buddha's palm is not for suppression, nor for salvation, but... for development! It is for evolution! It is for the creation of a pure land of Buddha in the palm of your hand!"
The scene of Xu Qing creating the world, the vortex of chaos, the birth of stars and the condensation of the earth, isn't it the most magnificent embodiment of the true meaning of "Tathagata"? With supreme wisdom and great power, he opened up a world that follows Buddhist principles and is pure and solemn!
Xiong Chan felt a blessing in his heart, and the boiling vacuum-shattering power in his body that was about to break the "vacuum" naturally merged into his new understanding of the Tathagata Palm.
He subconsciously raised his right hand.
There was no earth-shattering momentum, no dazzling Buddha light. His palms became extremely simple and heavy, and the texture of his palms seemed to have turned into the trajectory of the chaos, with five fingers like mountains and knuckles like star nodes.
An indescribable sense of "opening up" and "carrying" condensed in his palm.
hum!
In the palm of his hand, a miniature, chaotic vortex quietly emerged. In the vortex, it was no longer pure chaos, but the faint flow of Buddha's light, the birth and death of Sanskrit, and the rise and fall of golden lotus. The power of birth and death intertwined in it, as if it was nurturing a miniature "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm" that followed the Buddhist principles.
This was no longer a simple attacking palm technique, but a supreme magical power that contained the embryonic form of "creation". Based on the power of shattering the vacuum and guided by the true meaning of Tathagata, a prototype of Buddha land was created in the palm of his hand.
Xiong Chan's body was shaking violently, and dark golden blood and qi were gushing out from his pores, twisting and evaporating the surrounding air. The vacuum-shattering power in his body had finally accumulated to its peak.
"Break!" A roar from the depths of the soul!
boom!
With Xiong Chan as the center, the space within a hundred feet in radius suddenly collapsed and twisted inwards, like a mirror thrown into a boulder, and then erupted with silent but extremely terrifying shocks. The solid space barrier was like fragile glass at this moment, clearly showing countless fine, spider-web-like cracks! Although it was fleeting and quickly repaired by the laws of heaven and earth, the instantaneous scene of space shattering and the terrifying aura that erupted from Xiong Chan, which was enough to shake the world and shatter everything, had already declared a fact:
The highest realm of the human immortal martial arts - shattering the vacuum! He has already taken half a step into it!
Xiong Chan slowly retracted his palm, and the chaotic Buddha light vortex in his palm quietly disappeared. The terrifying aura on his body also receded like a tide, but his eyes were brighter than the stars, full of determination to open up a new path and a desire for a higher realm.
He bowed deeply to Xu Qing's figure on the Taoist altar of Yuhuatai, all his gratitude and understanding were expressed without words.
The Tathagata Palm of the Great Zen Temple, in his hands, has already set foot on the supreme road leading to "the Buddha Kingdom in the palm of the hand, creating the world". And his martial arts, because of Xu Qing's "chisel" that created the world, opened up the way forward and saw infinite scenery.
Xu Qing, who was preaching, had a barely perceptible smile on his face.
In fact, Xiong Chan's breakthrough was guided by him.
Because with Xu Qing's Taoism, it is enough to see that Xiong Chan's roots are actually a "fish" of Sakyamuni. With the help of Xu Qing, Xiong Chan, the "fish", has shown signs of breaking away from Sakyamuni.
This was also a test of Sakyamuni by Xu Qing.
Afterwards, Xu Qing pointed his finger into the void, and a cassock condensed from the void and floated towards Xiong Chan.
It was engraved with dense Taoist characters, which were clearly the "Present Tathagata Sutra", which explained the essence of human-immortal martial arts vividly.
When Xiong Chan put on the cassock, his aura gave off a feeling of “kicking the sea of suffering in all directions and hitting the void in all directions with a stick”.
He also clearly felt the thread coming from Sakyamuni in his body.
A feeling of breaking free from the fishing line and regaining freedom naturally arose in my heart.
On the other side, the young Heavenly Master who had reincarnated from Mount Longhu had a light as deep as the sea of stars flowing on his delicate face.
Xu Qing's exposition of the theory of the rotation of yin and yang and the preaching of the stars resonated unprecedentedly with the Taoist method and the true meaning of the talismans inherited from Longhu Mountain. The dormant innate Taoist bone in his body was completely activated, and his fingertips unconsciously sketched in the void. The mysterious talismans containing the trajectory of the stars and the birth and death of yin and yang were naturally generated, which attracted the Zhoutian star power to fall. He seemed to see the ultimate mystery of the talismans connecting heaven and earth.
The master of Chaotian Temple, the leader of the Taoist sect in the capital, felt as if struck by lightning when he listened to Xu Qing's explanation of the balance between the creation of "life" and the extinction of "death" in the universe, as well as the spread of the principles of life.
Xuantian Shenglong Dao pursues longevity and long life. Only now did he understand that true longevity is not to escape death, but to understand the cycle of life and death and integrate into the great cycle of the universe. He visualized the Yin God in his body, as if it had turned into a tiny chaotic seed, and tried to induce a trace of the power of life and death to temper himself. The state that had been stagnant for many years was actually loosened slightly.
Yan Kong and Fa Yue, the master and disciple of the Vajra Temple, were both enlightened. When Xu Qing talked about "the earth carries everything", "all beings are equal", and "the way is in the dust", they felt a great compassion and a firm and unshakable original mind.
The guardian power of the Vajra Temple took on new vitality after understanding the true meaning of "carrying" and "protecting". Behind Yankong's head, there was a faint Buddha light condensing into a substantial wheel, and Fayue felt that his soul was more solid and immortal, as if it was connected to the earth beneath his feet.
Feng Wu was given a special treatment by Xu Qing. Under the influence of Xu Qing's Dao rhyme, her life essence was nourished and cleansed, her mind was clear, and her future was bright. Feng Wu felt that the invisible bond between her and her husband became more profound.
At the same time, the Book of Destroying Love that she practiced finally transformed into the "Book of Forgetting Love".
This is the supreme mystery of the Taishang Taoist Sect, but under the guidance of Xu Qing, Feng Wu "realized" it.
It can be said that with the help of Xu Qing, Feng Wu may be able to re-establish a "Taishang Dao Sect" in the future and make it the new orthodoxy of Taiqing in this empty universe.
Xu Qing's theory of chaotic birth and death is all-encompassing and can accommodate all major teachings and integrate everything.
He has already identified the key to his advancement to the realm of "Hunyuan Wuji" or even "Daozu Hunyuan".
That is to carry everything.
If one accepts the country's filth, one becomes the master of the country; if one accepts the country's misfortune, one becomes the king of the world.
Only by shouldering the cause and effect of disasters left over from countless years in the past and embracing the entire sea of suffering within himself, can Xu Qing truly break free from the influence of any ancient existence.
Because of the bitterness, others dare not and cannot eat it.
It is even more impossible to be contaminated by such countless karmic causes and effects.
If he really did it, even the supreme avenue would not be able to destroy Xu Qing.
Because Xu Qing owed too much.
This is also the essence that Xu Qing learned from modern times.
If you owe a million-dollar mortgage, you are like a beast of burden; if you owe hundreds of millions, the bank will help you find a solution.
The key is how to owe 100 million.
Xu Qing really had no choice before, but now, he deeply realized that his trip to the human world and the underworld was not accidental, but someone was trying to make him bear the cause and effect, so he had a great opportunity to achieve eternal enlightenment.
Whether you owe one person, it’s still a debt; whether you owe ten or a hundred people, it’s still a debt.
Why can't it be bigger?
