Chapter 543 Seeing Zhenwu and Slashing with a Sword
The depths of the shortcut are becoming more abstract and elusive, and they are getting closer to the true Tao.
As we walk deeper, our acquired external senses disappear completely, and we can only rely on our innate nature to understand the concept of the great road here. Even slowly, even our innate nature seems to be disappearing, and we must integrate with this place and become one. part of the avenue.
boom
A black and white 'lightning' fell towards Jiang Yao. It was a completely abstract concept, but the cycle of life and death was extremely terrifying.
This is the ‘shortcut punishment’!
It's not some manipulation of will, but the instinctive rebound of heaven and earth when approaching the 'great road'.
Buzz
The six-path reincarnation disk above Jiang Yao's head rotated slightly, and a black and white divine light of life and death appeared, which had a similar charm to the black and white lightning, but was more mysterious.
boom
The moment the two collided, they seemed to be polar opposites of yin and yang, completely canceling each other out and disappearing together.
Jiang Yao didn't pay attention to this and continued to go deeper.
Guarded by the six-path reincarnation disk that has established a certain connection with this place, these peripheral 'shortcut punishments' cannot threaten him.
There is no concept of time and space in this shortcut. After traveling for an unknown amount of time, even with the protection of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, Jiang Yao felt that his consciousness was faintly affected and he was about to be assimilated by the great road here. A figure finally appeared in front of him. Made him stop.
It was a figure sitting cross-legged, wearing a black robe, a crown of peace on his head, and a pale face. He was none other than the Black Emperor Zhenwu, one of the five ancient emperors, and the Demon Danger Heavenly Lord among the nine deities of the Taoist sect.
However, it is different from what Huang Quan once believed that Emperor Zhenwu was assimilated into the origin of life and death and fell into the state of transformation.
At this time, Emperor Zhenwu's eyes were deep, shining with the light of wisdom, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he did not look like he had lost his mind at all.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yao didn't show any surprise on his face, but instead felt that it was expected.
He quickly took a step forward, raised his hands and saluted, "I have met Senior Black Emperor."
Before he finished speaking, an inexplicable feeling appeared in Jiang Yao's heart, and a sword light seemed to appear in his mind.
Almost subconsciously, Jiang Yao directly raised his finger to point to the sword and slashed a black and white sword light towards Emperor Zhenwu.
In a daze, Jiang Yao seemed to have returned to the past, to the scene when he first met Zhang Sanfeng in the Zixiao Palace in Wudang Mountain during his third reincarnation.
The old Taoist priest looked at Jiang Yao with a smile, holding a Zhenwu sword, and used the move of destroying Taoists, saying that it was as a reward for the mission.
The time between the past and the present seemed to overlap at this moment, and the light of Jiang Yao's sword seemed to overlap with the sword used by Zhang Sanfeng.
The power of this sword was not great, but it directly caused Emperor Zhenwu, a great divine power user with perfect creation, to fall into a state of unconsciousness, watching the sword light fall on him unprepared.
Buzz
The sword fell as if it were illusory and did not cause any harm to Emperor Zhenwu.
But after the sword disappeared, the aura of Emperor Zhenwu suddenly changed inexplicably.
The true meaning of life and death in him that is consistent with the origin of life and death is slowly changing, becoming more and more in line with the nature of heaven and earth, and is undergoing some kind of sublimation in the direction of Yin and Yang Tai Chi.
After cutting off the sword, Jiang Yao came back to his senses instantly, with an inexplicable feeling remaining in his heart.
Looking at Emperor Zhenwu who seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation in front of him, Jiang Yao felt a sense of suddenness in his heart.
It turns out that the sword Zhang Sanfeng demonstrated for himself was not all the reward for the mission!
The real purpose of that sword turns out to be here!
It seems that Zhang Sanfeng is really more than just the alter ego or clone of Emperor Zhenwu.
‘Zhenwu is Zhang Sanfeng, but Zhang Sanfeng is not Zhenwu! ’
Zhang Sanfeng's original emotion reappeared in Jiang Yao's mind again, giving him some guesses about the situation in front of him.
Emperor Zhenwu was probably like the old mother Wusheng, who was 'reborn' with the help of a method similar to the 'Wuji Seal'.
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Jiang Yao quietly looked at Emperor Zhenwu, whose breath was constantly changing in front of him, without disturbing him.
After an unknown amount of time, the changes in Emperor Zhenwu finally stopped and he slowly opened his eyes.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, and he sighed softly: "That's it!"
After sighing, he looked at Jiang Yao, cupped his hands, and said with a smile: "Thank you, little friend!"
"where!"
Jiang Yao quickly dodged and said softly: "Senior Black Emperor, you're welcome, I didn't do anything!"
"hehe."
Emperor Zhenwu laughed when he saw this. He didn't care, but suddenly asked: "Little friend, do you think the identity of a Taoist boy is a benefit or a disadvantage to the old Taoist?"
"this?"
Hearing Emperor Zhenwu's slightly abrupt question, Jiang Yao couldn't help but be startled, thought for a moment, and said uncertainly: "Junior, I think it's both good and bad!"
The advantage is that I have received part of the inheritance from the Taoist Master, and there is no shortage of cultivation techniques.
Moreover, many Heavenly Wills on the other side who have been preached by Tao Zun will also show a little kindness to Emperor Zhenwu, allowing him to get many opportunities. , practicing smoothly all the way
However, this goodwill may only be limited to the other side.
Also because of Dao Zun's identity as a boy, many heavenly beings on the other side may not be willing to see Emperor Zhenwu truly come to the other side.
After all, no one knows whether Dao Zun will leave any key opportunities for Emperor Zhenwu, so that he can quickly condense the prototype of Dao Fruit after landing on the other side, becoming the biggest variable in the competition for Dao Fruit on the other side.
Therefore, Emperor Zhenwu before the other side had a smooth sailing.
Once you want to achieve enlightenment, I’m afraid you won’t be so ‘lucky’ anymore!
"Yes, there are good and bad!"
Emperor Zhenwu sighed: "Because of my status as a Taoist boy, I have rarely encountered any major disasters. My practice has been smooth sailing, and I have received countless opportunities and blessings, but..."
After a pause, there was an inexplicable look in his eyes, and he said softly: "It was just too smooth, which caused me, the old Taoist, to become arrogant and arrogant without even realizing it."
As he spoke, Emperor Zhenwu glanced at the concept of the Avenue of Life and Death surrounding him, as if he was asking Jiang Yao, and also seemed to be asking himself: "Life and death are indeed the innate avenue, and they can also be directly sublimated from the Shuiyuan Avenue, but this avenue Really suitable for experienced people”
The voice echoed around, but Jiang Yao did not speak, because he could feel that Emperor Zhenwu was not asking him.
After an unknown amount of time, a deep voice sounded from the mouth of Emperor Zhenwu:
"External objects can be relied upon but not relied on"
Over and over again, the tone gradually became more complicated, and finally he sighed: "You can rely on external things, but you can't rely on them!"
The moment the words fell, the remaining meaning of life and death in Emperor Zhenwu underwent a final transformation.
The meaning of water as his fundamental source emerged, and then directly sublimated into Tai Chi Yin and Yang, in harmony with the nature of heaven and earth, as if using water to evolve Tai Chi Yin and Yang, and everything in the world.
At this time, all the majesty of Emperor Zhenwu disappeared and he became ordinary, like an ordinary person.
However, in Jiang Yao's perception, he has the charm of harmony with light and dust, giving people a vague feeling of completeness, without any disharmony.
Although the energy emitted by Emperor Zhenwu seems to be less powerful than before, it gives people a more unpredictable feeling.
The Zhenwu Emperor in this life may really be able to truly reach the other side!
Jiang Yao couldn't help but have this thought in his mind.
Thinking about it, he hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Congratulations to Senior Black Emperor for understanding his own great path and making great progress in cultivation!"
"hehe."
Emperor Zhenwu showed a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Thank you for all this, little friend. If it weren't for your appearance, I would not be able to understand my Taoist heart and get out of the barriers I have set for myself!"
After saying that, Emperor Zhenwu spoke again: "This is over, and the old Taoist has to continue practicing. My cultivation is not enough, so I will be affected by this place. It's better to leave for now. The next time you come back, remember to bring Xuanshui Dangmo." Flag, the veteran can repair it completely."
"By the way, if there is a strong enemy you want to deal with, you can also lure them here. Although the old Taoist has to use this place to practice and hide himself, he can still take action."
After saying that, Emperor Zhenwu also smiled at Jiang Yao, indicating something.
"yes!"
Jiang Yao nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "Thank you, Senior Black Emperor!"
After saying that, feeling the increasingly powerful assimilation power of the surrounding avenues, Jiang Yao no longer stayed, cupped his hands, turned around and left.
Seeing Jiang Yao disappear, Emperor Zhenwu suddenly sighed and said: "God's will!"
The voice was low and slowly dissipated in this shortcut.
In the pure land of the gray stone temple, the light of reincarnation flashed, and Jiang Yao's figure appeared.
Without stopping here, Jiang Yao left the stone temple directly and came to the Yellow Spring River.
Looking at the long river of blood rushing in front of him, Jiang Yao suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if this long blood-yellow river was another himself.
It seems that Huang Quan really has no scum left!
Sure enough, there are limits to the so-called legendary power of immortality, including the immortality of others and oneself.
Emperor Zhenwu, a powerful man with a perfect level of creation, took action. Huang Quan, a legendary evil god, really had no chance at all.
Even the others and me in the heavens and the world, and the various means of resurrection linked by cause and effect, have all turned into ashes.
After Huang Quan, the innate evil god directly conceived by Huang Quan Changhe, was completely wiped out, the power of heaven and earth that Huang Quan Changhe possessed was naturally integrated into Jiang Yao's clone body, which was refined from Huang Quan's bones.
At this time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Yao's clone is the Lord of the Underworld.
As he thought, Jiang Yao merged directly into the blood-yellow river in front of him.
boom
The long river of Huangquan surges forward, as if it has a will of its own, becoming vaster than ever before.
In the deepest part of the Yellow Spring River, the six reincarnation discs are constantly rotating, pulling the power of the underworld, as if to build a new underworld of reincarnation here.
In the long river of underworld, the endless wronged souls that have sunk for hundreds of millions of years seem to be undergoing new reincarnations through the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, gaining peace and rebirth.
Through Huangquan, a long river that runs through all the heavens and all realms, the law power of Jiang Yao's Six Paths of Reincarnation seems to have penetrated all the heavens and merged into the rules of heaven and earth in each universe, making the power on it more and more mysterious and unpredictable.
Journey to the West, Lingshan.
Mo Buddha suddenly opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
A faint voice echoed around.
"It's time to close the net!"
"The original true body, the Tathagata's golden body, and the reverse Buddha's true body"
"Seal. Hehehe."
Among the ruined temples in the barren mountains.
A colorless lamp of cause and effect suddenly appeared in the eyes of the withered monk sitting facing a pond full of lotus flowers.
He said gently to the lotus in front of him: "It's finally here!"
