Infinity, starting from eternity
Chapter 469: The Holy Covenant? The Path to True Resurrection!
Chapter 469: The Holy Covenant? The Path to True Resurrection!
“The heavens are just a dream, the world is just a painting! You are all the people in the painting!”
Li Ping’an tells the cruel truth, which is also a signpost pointing to the highest level of spiritual practice.
Reality and illusion have always been opposites and can be transformed into each other. What is an illusion now may become reality in the future.
And to achieve the great emperor of the mind, only I am the truth, my own heart is the heart of heaven, and I re-render the universe. Except for myself, it may also become an illusion to others, and my own situation is controlled by others.
The danger of the spiritual path is no less than any other path of cultivation. In fact, it is even more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the disaster of losing yourself.
But so what? No one cares. Whether to die with a beautiful dream or to forge ahead and struggle in pain is clear and self-evident.
Li Pingan’s eyes wandered, his expression calm, “Do you have anything else to ask?”
Emperor Zun shook his head and clasped his fists in salute, “I already know what the dean meant. This calamity is destined to be passed by us on our own. The foreign enemy, the strange reincarnation, the illusions of the heavens… You have done enough, how can I trouble you again.”
Meng Tianzheng and Qingdi also nodded in agreement.
They had doubts before. The dean had a mysterious background and his actions were hard to understand. They didn’t know what he was trying to achieve. Now that they have figured out the truth, they understand Li Ping’an’s painstaking efforts.
“So what if it’s an illusion? Who says illusion can’t become reality?” The Green Emperor’s eyes were sharp, as if piercing through eternity. He was full of fighting spirit and wanted to act against the will of heaven.
It would be better to say that this was the first time he had such high spirits since he came out of the Daohua Immortal Realm. The Daohua Immortal Realm had drained away so much of his spirit that he almost forgot who he was. His strength continued to improve, but he always felt that something was missing.
Now that I think about it, it’s a challenge!
The existence of the dean is the greatest blessing, but it can also make people lose their spirit. Now that we know the truth, it is time to make a change.
Meng Tianzheng also laughed, “These things are too complicated. I will explore them after I defeat the alien world in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”
“Fellow Daoist Emperor, Fellow Daoist Wanqing, both of you have already embarked on the path to immortality, why don’t we make an agreement.” Meng Tianzheng suggested, “The dean has only just told us the truth, I think he is considering us. Now that our strengths are in contact, we can remain calm.”
“It’s hard for others to come, and there’s no need for them to know.”
“In the future, only when you achieve true immortality, or have the strength to this level like Fellow Daoist Wan Qing, then I can tell them the path to spiritual enlightenment, how about that?” Meng Tianzheng discussed with them.
The three of them had the mental state to withstand this unbelievable and cruel truth, but the others did not know.
If the saying “All the worlds are illusions and they are the people in the painting” is allowed to spread, many people may lose their faith in the Tao. This is more despairing than the dozens of immortal kings in foreign lands and the reincarnation path under Mount Kunlun.
“What’s the matter, Dean?” Meng Tianzheng looked to the side.
“Whatever you want.” Li Ping’an said calmly.
He just passed down the spiritual tradition. As for what happens next, it depends on the local people themselves.
If he acts as a hands-off boss and lets the Green Emperor handle things for the next ten years, the three will take over the connection between the two time and space and share the opportunities and risks.
The people of Chaos Ancient came here, the people of Covering the Sky went there, and in the future, the immortal king of the foreign land and the lord of the forbidden areas of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths may discover this place and take action, which is undoubtedly very dangerous.
Even if the entire Zhutian space-time is destroyed, Li Pingan’s face will not be moved. From his perspective, the birth and death of all things in the world are just a natural cycle of this world.
However, his words were enough for Meng Tianzheng.
The founder of this path has absolute control over this path of cultivation, and the influence is unimaginable. The strange ancestor’s targeting of Huang and Ye can cause all the practitioners on this path to sink and fall into darkness.
Now, on the contrary, with the tacit consent of Li Ping’an, Meng Tianzheng used the great power of the true immortal to guide, and a piece of golden paper appeared, with every word on it being a gem, and there was only one iron rule!
“Only immortals and saints can know the truth of the world!”
Boom! !
Thunder roared suddenly out of nowhere, the sky shook, and many people in the nine heavens and ten earths felt a tightness in their chest, but they didn’t know why.
“This law can be a covenant.”
The covenant of the saints! The covenant of the immortal saints! The covenant of the manifestation saints!
You can restrain the Holy Manifestation, but you cannot restrain the Emperor of the Soul.
Li Ping’an said something casually, and then his figure disappeared, leaving three people there.
“Farewell, Dean!”
The three of them bowed and sent Li Pingan off.
Meng Tianzheng breathed a sigh of relief. The covenant had been made. The power of rules and order affected all the practitioners of the spiritual law. Those who had not reached that level would be blinded, and even if they were told in person, they would forget it. This way, there would be no need to worry about causing too much of an impact.
“I’m sorry to have embarrassed Fellow Daoist Dizun and Fellow Daoist Wanqing.” Meng Tianzheng sighed slightly. After all, it all came down to strength.
In this later time and space, he is already a top figure, but in the chaotic ancient times, with the immortal kings of foreign lands, the kings of the fairyland, and the major forbidden areas of the nine heavens and ten earths standing tall, he can only be cautious.
This also avoided the situation where this group of geniuses would immediately go crazy and bring about a disaster.
Meng Tianzheng didn’t dare to bet whether Li Ping’an would take action for the dream that he saw of the world. It’s always better to be cautious.
“Understandable.”
“Friend Meng’s efforts are also for the common people.”
Emperor Zun and Green Emperor nodded. Meng Tianzheng blocked the truth not for his own consideration, but for the overall situation.
As long as the dean has no objection, they will not stop it, which is good for everyone.
“Is the opposite side your era… the chaotic ancient times?” The Emperor came to the front of the Universe Lake and looked at the bottom of the lake. He ignored the diverse universe and many terrifying creatures comparable to true immortals in the lake and looked at the colorful vortex.
The passage that connected the two time and space of Perfection and Heaven-shaking remained there even after Li Ping’an left.
The three of them immediately had an idea in their minds. This was to facilitate their actions, to make their minds holy, and to seek peace and truth in the illusions of all worlds.
All I can say is that they can never repay the dean’s kindness enough!
“So that’s how it is. One person alone bears the great taboo of cause and effect, performs a time-space replacement, and overlaps reality and illusion.”
After Li Ping’an’s guidance, the three of them looked at the passage differently. In addition to the power of time and space, there was more power of the mind, as well as illusory dimensions, etc., which connected the past, present and future. Now it seemed that the two scrolls of the heavens overlapped at one point.
Although it is not as terrifying as manipulating time and space, it is equally difficult. The Immortal King is far from being able to do it and dares not even think about it.
Stronger than they know it.
However, even if such a supreme being that surpasses the Immortal King can interfere with the illusions of all worlds, it cannot make people awaken and transcend.
“The dean is truly an extraordinary person!” Qingdi exclaimed.
Even someone as proud as him had to admit defeat. After realizing what the other party was doing, he was genuinely impressed.
He did not ask about one thing, that is, all the worlds are illusions, they are the people in the painting, so what about their true selves? The so-called painting also has a source, there must be a real place, the historical text.
Perhaps in some real place, they still exist and have their original source.
It is also possible that the original body had already met with a calamity and died, and the dean came to enlighten them for some reason and awaken themselves in the illusion.
Qingdi expressed his guess, saying that this was their private communication and it didn’t matter. He didn’t try to pry into the Dean’s thoughts. Qingdi said that he only had full respect for the Dean in his heart.
“Not really.” The Emperor among the three shook his head slightly, his expression calm, like a stone statue that has not changed for eternity. If the Green Emperor could realize this, how could he not know it?
But the Emperor has deduced over the years that if his mind had turned evil back then, he would inevitably collide with those who had become immortals in the mortal world in later generations. If it was just one person, it would be fine, but if there were multiple people, his plan to refine the two realms and forge the supreme immortal cauldron would inevitably fail, and he would not be able to escape with any good fortune, and might even perish.
If that’s the case, he may not have a real body corresponding to the real place!
The Emperor felt vaguely that his guess was correct, and if that was the case, he would have to follow the path of spiritual enlightenment. Even if he had to struggle, he could not sink any further, as there might never be such an opportunity again in the future.
Li Pingan left.
Emperor Zun, Meng Tianzheng and Qing Emperor also had a brief fight, but it didn’t cause any big noise.
For people at their level, everything can change in just a small space and will not interfere with the outside world at all.
With just a wave of their hands and a move of their hands, they can open up a vast world, in which they can manifest the great way of fighting. The mysterious battles can decide the outcome in an instant.
The final result of the fight is self-evident. The Red Dust Immortal Emperor Zun Wensheng is so powerful that even Meng Tianzheng and the Green Emperor together are no match for him and are easily suppressed.
“Brother Daoist Emperor is so powerful that he has the hope of becoming an Immortal King. If an Immortal King appears in this era, perhaps a lot of things will change in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!” Meng Tianzheng looked a little excited.
He was very confident in himself, but it was difficult, almost impossible, to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, so he could only place his hopes on others.
“I will go to the Imperial Pass.” The Emperor said calmly, “I was once the Emperor of Heaven, protecting all living things in heaven and earth. The nine heavens and ten earths in the chaotic ancient times are no different from today. All the living beings there are also my people!”
He is worthy of being the Emperor, revered by all emperors, worshipped by the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth, what a great spirit!
This is the one who shocked the Hades back then and made him see the shadow of Shi Hao in him.
“This is also for the purpose of cultivation, so that the mind can manifest as soon as possible.” The Emperor stood with his hands behind his back and spoke slowly, “I think that the so-called experience of many lifetimes is not a requirement of quantity. A mortal’s life is so insignificant that one is born in the morning and dies in the evening. Millions of lifetimes are not as wonderful as the lifetime of an enlightened person.”
The Emperor had a great understanding and could draw inferences from one example. “What is the manifestation of the Holy Spirit? Perhaps it should be interpreted literally, like the immortals and gods appearing in the world and leaving miracles behind! This is the anchor point for the soul to look back to the void and return to the material world!”
“Only with enough anchor points, the long line of cause and effect in the material world, can we explore deep into the void world. Perhaps when we reach a certain level, we can cross the spiritual void world and reach the other side, which may be another world, or it may be the real place.”
“This process is the return to the truth!”
Returning to the truth is in the soul and also in the void. Manifesting holiness is only the starting point of the journey, far from the end. This is the path to returning to the truth.
The ultimate goal is to establish oneself in illusion. One can also create a real holy land of the soul in the dreamlike empty flowers. One can also step into the real place in a single thought, leave footprints, and then come back to life. That is the emperor of the soul.
The Great Emperor can also be called the Master, who completely dominates his own mind, is no longer disturbed by the outside world, and can even resist erosion.
After these words were spoken, Meng Tianzheng and Qingdi couldn’t help but nodded in agreement.
“Now that the two major time and space have just come into contact, it will take a while for things to settle down. After a while, I will go with you to the chaotic ancient times.” The Emperor left these words and left in a leisurely manner. He still had some causes and effects to deal with.
“The covenant has been established. You can also find a few more people and tell them the truth about the spiritual manifestation.”
“In this great world, there are still a few who can stand on equal footing with us!”
“Hahaha, that Divine Emperor who has nine transformations and is invincible in heaven and earth, and ten transformations and is invincible in the past, present and future, I feel his path is quite similar to ours, to become an immortal in the mortal world.”
“The Divine Emperor is still alive?!” Qingdi was surprised, but when he thought of his battle achievements, he suddenly calmed down.
There are so many emperors and kings throughout the ages, each of them is a peerless hero. It is not surprising that some of them embarked on the path of becoming immortals in the mortal world, or it would be abnormal if there were none.
Even in the restricted area, there were many things that amazed him when he saw them. Now that the opportunity he had waited for eternity had finally arrived, they would also shine with a different brilliance.
But how many people can manifest saintly spirits and transcend themselves? The Green Emperor remained silent.
It is difficult to become an immortal in this mortal world, and it is just as difficult to transcend the mind and turn the false into the true. It is so difficult!
“The later generations are quite exciting. So many people have embarked on the immortal path of the mortal world. It is much better than my time.” Meng Tianzheng laughed. With the protection given by the Emperor, he felt much more open-minded. The Emperor alone is better than thousands of Supreme Emperors. The Emperor’s pass is as stable as Mount Tai.
“We are standing on the shoulders of giants.”
The Qing Emperor cupped his hands. Now he knew that the great elder in front of him was actually one of the founders of the secret realm method, and he had to accept this favor.
As for the other Emperor Huangtian, he is the true founder of the Tao and has a higher status.
“That’s right.” Meng Tianzheng praised, “You want to transform the mortal world into the fairyland. I think that’s more amazing. It solves the problem of the insufficient environment of heaven and earth at the root. It’s just that some of your methods may be used wrongly. The conditions in this life are not enough…”
The two of them were having a great time discussing philosophical matters. In the outside world, there were many chaotic battles in the restricted areas, with people fighting to the death, and no one cared much.
Everyone knows their limits.
On the other side, Emperor Zun walked out of the Heavenly God Academy and did not care about the fight between those at the top of the extreme and the supreme in the restricted area. He saw a few acquaintances who insisted that they had stabbed him in the back.
But now he has become indifferent to it. He was not his true self at that time. Not to mention that it was understandable, but it was not to the extent that the Emperor would be angry enough to take action.
The blackened emperor in the original timeline had never taken any action, let alone the current emperor, who is magnanimous and can treat everyone equally.
“The fantasy dream of all worlds is also called a scroll.” The Emperor murmured to himself. He was a little curious about what his original ending would be.
“The one who can kill me must be an immortal from the mortal world. Let me calculate who are likely to make a move.” He looked up, overlooking the nine heavens and ten earths.
“My master counts as one, my disciple also counts as one, Wu Shi, the empress, the immortal in the strange world… Who else has this possibility?” The Emperor thought, perhaps the people who rose in this era should be counted.
If the dean had not appeared, how would the historical text have played out, and what would have been the ending of this era?
“Eucharist!”
Finally, the Emperor’s gaze rested on Ye Fan. He saw too many causal lines in the other party, too many to be normal. They were related to his cheap master, the Underworld Emperor, and he also had a close relationship with Wu Shi. He had also come into contact with the Empress at the beginning of his practice.
As for his talent in cultivation, even if we exclude the spiritual method taught by the dean, there may be a good chance that he can break the curse that a holy body cannot become an emperor.
If successful, his strength would probably catch up with his second life self.
An easy process of proving the Tao does not necessarily mean strong strength, but a difficult process of proving the Tao will lead to extremely strong strength after success. This is the most basic order of this world!
This is something the Emperor can be sure of.
“So according to this calculation, the one who has a mortal feud with me is this kid.” The Emperor laughed and did not take it too seriously. If he did not even have this kind of tolerance, how could he have founded the Heavenly Palace at the end of the mythological period?
“But the fragment of my Chengxian Ding is still in this kid’s possession. It’s quite predestined… Well, I’ll just have to work harder and forge a new one myself.”
Ye Fan, known as the Little Emperor!
The Xuanhuang Mother Qi Cauldron, the Immortality Cauldron, and the Source of All Things.
The emperor’s weapons are all similar, and many people who have seen the emperor are suspicious, which shows how similar the two men are.
The Emperor figured out everything, but turned around and let it go. Things like refining the two worlds and casting the supreme immortal cauldron, these were all dark histories. Which Emperor of Heaven did not have a dark history.
In the past, the Corpse Immortal Emperor also made mistakes and endangered the heavens for countless epochs, but he was still cleared of all charges. The same goes for the Emperor. Now he is glorious and righteous, and he wants to restore the dignity of the Lord of Heaven.
The next moment, Emperor Zun arrived at Mars with a smile on his face, “Good disciple, it’s been a long time since we last met.”
The meat ball in Mars, the immortal emperor.
“?!”
