After explaining to Bai Ruoyue and the others, Zhou Qing left Heiyun Town overnight and headed to Xuandu Temple.
The long distance that once took him months to travel can now be covered in one step.
Standing outside Xuandu Temple, looking at the Xuanfa Mountains hidden in the night, the moonlight fell on Zhou Qing's face, dark and uncertain.
"Let me see what all this is about..."
Zhou Qing quietly entered Xuandu Temple without alerting anyone, and came to the place where the Tai Chi Diagram was alone.
He walked slowly into the room and saw the Tai Chi diagram placed on the altar.
This weapon of destiny was as quiet as ever, but what was different from before was that Zhou Qing could no longer see through this artifact.
I still remember the time before, no matter how I looked at Tai Chi Tu, it was just a Three Tribulation Immortal Weapon without any flaws.
But after Qingshou Tianzun came here to pay homage to Tai Chi Tu, he stopped pretending.
"I've met senior." Zhou Qing bowed to the Tai Chi diagram.
An artifact of this level is equivalent to real life, and it is also at the level of destiny. Taoist masters must respect it when facing it.
It is not an exaggeration to call Zhou Qing a senior.
Tai Chi Tu didn't respond, Zhou Qing didn't care, and said to himself:
"I learned some things by chance. I have a certain understanding of the truth about Xuanhuang Dao Zun's ability to carry the destiny, the existence of the destiny fruit, etc."
"Please forgive my presumption, I am here today to ask my senior a question."
"On the road of Taoism, what can my predecessors teach me?"
When Zhou Qing said this, Tai Chi Tu finally reacted.
I saw the two qi of yin and yang flowing around the figure, and then a palm-sized human-shaped light and shadow wrapped in the two qi of yin and yang appeared above the Tai Chi diagram.
This is the deity of Tai Chi Tu. This artifact that has been passed down in Xuandu Temple for nearly ten thousand years has finally shown its true side.
"That person, it seems, is indeed you."
Misty and distant, majestic and majestic, a voice seemed to come from outside the world.
Zhou Qing's heart moved and he asked:
"Senior, do you know my origin?"
"I don't know. You don't have to ask me about your origins and your many doubts. I didn't know much about you before."
The Taijitu God said: "I am waiting for a certain creature to appear. Whether it is a man or a woman, a human or a demon, when it will appear has been undecided before."
"He asked me to do this, and I was just following his orders."
When Zhou Qing heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seemed that he couldn't get some answers from Tai Chi Tu.
And if Zhou Qing hadn't told him about the Destiny Fruit, Tai Chi Tu might still not pay attention to him.
And the man mentioned by the Taijitu God is naturally the founder of Taishang Dao Palace, one of the oldest bearers of destiny, Taishang.
All over the world, inside and outside the Tao, only the Supreme Order can be obeyed unconditionally by Tai Chi Tu.
As for whether the Taijitu God deliberately concealed this matter and was unwilling to tell Zhou Qing something...
So what? So what if it’s not?
Is it possible that Zhou Qing can still force the gods of Tai Chi?
Besides, there is really no need for such existences to deceive Zhou Qing at this time.
"Senior, I want to know, what should I do next?"
Zhou Qing asked: "In other words, what kind of path has the Supreme Master planned for me?"
"You are wrong." Tai Chi Tu God shook his head slightly and said:
"I don't know what your path is, and it wasn't planned by the Supreme Being or other destiny realms."
"From the very beginning, everything is destined now. This is your path and the choice you make. The Supreme Being and others are obeying the destiny and truly opening up and walking on this path. The one on top is you.”
"It's the path I chose..."
Zhou Qing seemed to have some realization in his heart, as if he had grasped something.
"What should you do next? You have to ask yourself this question."
The Taijitu God continued: "There is only one thing I can do for you, and I will do it for you once. This is also my mission to stay here."
"Before this, I didn't know what to do for you. It was only after I saw you this time that I understood."
"That thing is to kill you, and then spread all the concepts that make up your existence and the power of existence in the ether to the past, present, and future."
"That's all I can do. You need to solve other problems yourself."
This is the truth behind the third scene of predicting the future, and the reason why Tai Chi Tu killed Zhou Qing.
It's not that I really want to kill him, but I'm helping him, but this way of helping is a bit unique.
Zhou Qing: "The power of the Supreme Being to survive?"
"Yuanshi is the starting point, Lingbao is the end, and Taishang is the beginning, representing existence, development, eternity, time and space, the past, present, and future, all in it."
The past cannot completely represent the beginning, the starting point is the beginning, and the beginning is the "past" of the past.
The same goes for Lingbao. Lingbao is the "future" of the future.
All time, space, process, and existence after excluding the two points of "beginning" and "end" are symbols of the Supreme.
The Tai Chi deity explained further:
"After the concepts that make up your existence are spread to the past, present and future, you disappear completely, but you also achieve a state of being everywhere, spanning the past, present and future. This is immortality without existence."
Both disappearing and existing, maybe other destiny-level powers can also do this, but the power of the Supreme Existence is undoubtedly the most professional, and this is the symbol of belonging to the Supreme.
By now, Zhou Qing finally understood why what was waiting for him when he came to the Xuanhuang Realm was the Tai Chi Diagram, not the Yuan Shi Banner or the Four Swords of Zhu Xian.
Tai Chi Tu is best used to kill him.
"Your Tao is very special. Only in such a state can you have the opportunity to realize the Tao Master. If you have to practice slowly by yourself, you will probably have no hope in this life."
Zhou Qing let out a breath: "The Hunyuan Wuji way..."
This is indeed the path he chose.
"Then I dare to ask, senior, after all the concepts that make up me are spread to the past, present and future, how can I return?"
"I can kill you, and I can also help you come back." Taijitu God said:
"But if you want to prove the Taoist master, you need to complete this step yourself. If I resurrect you, then all this will be meaningless and you will not make any progress."
Taijitu killed Zhou Qing and resurrected him. If it were so easy to prove the Taoist master, Taijitu would have opened related businesses long ago, allowing Taishang Taoist Palace to dominate the heavens.
This is not as simple as simply dying and coming back, but it is about sublimating oneself in the state of disappearing and existing at the same time.
A pure death without any other achievements or progress is meaningless.
"In addition, you were once a transcendent immortal of the Four Tribulations, which played a very important role for you. After your death, the glimmer of transcendence you had was an opportunity for you, and you could use this to see beyond the realm. ”
"Transcendence Immortal." Zhou Qing nodded lightly, not surprised by this.
The greatest significance of the Four Tribulations Transcendence Immortal is that after you practice to the Yuan Realm, you have a better chance than others to achieve Taoism.
It is a matter of course that it is also useful to Zhou Qing.
The Taijitu God added: "There is a kind of essence of existence that if you have the opportunity to come into contact with, it may be able to inspire you, and that is the innate gods and demons."
"The innate gods and demons are the Dao itself. After their death, their state is somewhat similar to your state after I killed you." "The concepts that make up their existence will be scattered within the Dao, and the Dao also exists. In the past, present and future, the eternal, the Tao is immortal, the innate gods and demons are immortal, and they will eventually manifest themselves again at some point in the future.”
"If you can understand something about this, it should be able to help you in returning on your own."
Zhou Qing listened quietly to Tai Chi Tu's instructions. Although the god of weapons did not understand his origin, with his level of realm, after seeing Zhou Qing, he could actually understand a lot of things and make effective decisions. Guidance, no problem.
After hearing Tai Chi Tu mention the innate gods and demons, Zhou Qing suddenly had an idea in his heart and felt a sense of enlightenment. He murmured to himself.
"The innate gods and demons are the Tao..."
"Innate gods and demons are the beings of the Great Dao. No matter how the innate gods and demons are born, there will inevitably be a Tao corresponding to them in heaven and earth. The nature of this Tao will be the true Tao of heaven and earth, not the practice of cultivation. ”
The Taijitu deity said something like this again.
Yes, the innate gods and demons are the Tao, so if Zhou Qing incarnates the innate gods and demons, doesn't it also mean that he has transformed into the Tao.
Practitioners realize the Tao Master, and the illusory Tao and fruits are transformed into reality according to necessity, so that their own Tao is not inferior to the eternal Tao of the heavens.
After Zhou Qing transformed into an innate god and demon, his Tao was equivalent to becoming an objective Tao. There were only differences in levels, but in essence it was the same as the Tao of the Heavens.
As a being at the level of destiny, the Taijitu God is absolutely infallible and quite authoritative on this point.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Because only the Dao of Heaven and Earth can give birth to innate gods and demons that are the same body as Dao. When he rebelled against innate nature and turned into innate gods and demons, the essence of Zhou Qing's life changed, and he also became a life of the Dao.
The foundation of its existence has also become the avenue.
Zhou Qing was actually not worried about whether he would be able to return after being killed by Tai Chi Tu.
With the [Immortal Light of the Soul] and the [Future Dao Fruit] that he just obtained, he can borrow the Innate God and Demon Dao Fruit. Death is not the end at all for Zhou Qing, it is not the end. He will definitely come back alive.
But again, coming back alive is not the most important thing. What is important is that while coming back alive, you can take a step further. Otherwise, your death will be in vain.
What to do after "death" in order to realize the Taoist master is the most critical.
Tai Chi Tu cannot give Zhou Qing clear guidance at this step, because this is his own path.
If it were someone else, Tai Chi Tu could still teach more, but Zhou Qing's origin was very special, and he couldn't see everything. This step could only be accomplished by Zhou Qing himself.
However, the words of Tai Chi Tu also inspired Zhou Qing.
If one transforms into a Tao first, and then seeks to elevate this Tao to the level of the Great Way of the Heavens, the difficulty should be different compared to the practitioner's realization of the Tao Master.
The avenues are both independent of each other and form a whole. Compared with other avenues, each avenue is outside the realm!
This can be seen from the fact that those Tao masters will fall into eternal perdition and eventually become part of the Tao.
The only thing that can exist outside the Tao is the Tao.
After Zhou Qing transformed into Tao, didn't he naturally come to a position outside Tao?
Innate gods and demons are the Tao. This is an unchangeable fact. This is true whether the innate gods and demons are born or acquired.
And before all things appeared, when the heavens were not yet opened, the great avenue of heaven and earth also came into existence from scratch, from embryonic form to complete body and slowly developed to the current level.
This shows that the great avenue of heaven and earth will also grow and have the characteristics of automatic perfection.
Zhou Qing's incarnation as a Taoist Queen is equivalent to becoming a part of the Heaven and Earth Avenue, but he is incomplete. It is only a prototype and an illusory Avenue. The Heaven and Earth Avenue as a whole is flawless and should not have shortcomings and flaws. .
The avenues of the heavens may have differences in power, and the path of killing is definitely more lethal than the path of life, but there is no difference in level.
This is because the avenues are integrated and harmoniously coexist, and there will be no situation where one side is "high" and the other is "low".
But after Zhou Qing merged into the Dao as a whole, Dao's shortcomings appeared, and Dao was no longer perfect.
In order to eliminate such imperfections, other avenues of heaven and earth will feed Zhou Qing back, allowing him to reach perfection and restore harmony to the avenues.
The avenues are integrated, and other avenues will "water" Zhou Qing's way with their essence. Driven by the avenues of the heavens, his growth rate will definitely be quite fast.
And after feeding on all the ways, and realizing one's own way, the true all-encompassing, all-inclusive way of Hunyuan Wuji can be found.
No wonder the Tai Chi Diagram says this is the only way for Zhou Qing to become a Taoist master.
In fact, normally speaking, after Zhou Qing transformed into an innate god and demon and became part of the Heaven and Earth Avenue, because his level was not as good as the real Heaven and Earth Avenue, he should have been swallowed up by the Heaven and Earth Avenue at the first time, instead of feeding him back.
The Great Way of Heaven and Earth is now complete and does not need anyone to complete it. Zhou Qing is superfluous, and at his level, he is not qualified to coexist harmoniously with the Great Way of Heaven and Earth.
But the problem is that after Zhou Qing's death, there was the power of the Supreme Being to maintain his existence. This was a power at the level of destiny, and the avenue could not destroy him or swallow him.
Since it cannot be swallowed, then under the operation of the Dao order, the only choice left is to complete the Zhou Qing Dao and let the Dao as a whole be perfect again...
After being killed by Tai Chi Tu, Zhou Qing will enter a state of omnipresence in the past, present and future, which coincides with the essential state of the Dao of the Heavens.
In this state, the innate god and demon named Zhou Qing, the Tao he represents, spans the past, present and future, coexisting with other great ways of heaven and earth.
As long as they have existed, so has the way of Zhou Qing.
Both in essence and appearance, they are almost identical to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
At the same time, this also has an advantage. In the eyes of others, time may only have passed for a moment, but Zhou Qing has actually existed for endless years. The avenue of heaven and earth feeds him back in the past, present and future at the same time, and his terror will be perfected immediately.
Zhou Qing fell into deep thought. In this case, it is necessary to use [Future Dao Fruit] to borrow the Dao Fruit of the innate god and demon "Zhou Qing".
This should be the real role of this cheat in this level.
Of course, this is still Zhou Qing's speculation, and the facts have yet to be verified.
But the innate divine and demonic Dao Fruit is absolutely necessary, there is no doubt about this.
Another question is that Zhou Qing probably knows the meaning of [Future Dao Fruit], but what about the Tree of Destiny?
Predicting the future had specifically reminded Zhou Qing to get this tree. It must also have its own role in proving the Taoist master.
"I will pay attention to the matter of innate gods and demons, but senior, I still have some doubts."
Zhou Qing asked directly: "What is the role of the Tree of Destiny?"
His question undoubtedly exposed the fact that he owned the Tree of Destiny.
But this is completely irrelevant. In the battle for the Fruit of Destiny, Taijitu also followed Taishang to participate. He already knew the existence of the Tree of Destiny and that it would be taken away in the future.
Now that Zhou Qing is here, and Taiji Tu is sure that he is the person he is waiting for, then who has the Tree of Destiny, does it need to be said?
The Tai Chi God was silent for a moment and then said:
"The Tree of Destiny and the fruit are miracles that no one has ever imagined. They are things directly bred by Destiny. At first, they thought that the Fruit of Destiny could have an effect on the Destiny Realm, but the truth is disappointing."
Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask: "Senior Taishang and the others have already reached that point, do they still have any desires?"
"Carrying the destiny is a realm beyond the end. It is already the final realm. There is no one better. However, they also have problems."
The Taijitu God shook his head: "You don't need to worry about these things for the time being."
"The Fruit of Destiny can help people carry their destiny, and the role of the Tree of Destiny is to nurture. It gives birth to the opportunity to carry the destiny. The Fruit of Destiny is unique, but in your hands, its nurturing power can also play another role. etc. ”
"How to do it and what to use it to breed is your business."
"Greed..."
Zhou Qing thought for a moment and then asked: "There will be defects after using the Destiny Fruit to carry the Destiny. So will the same problem occur if I use the Destiny Tree?"
Zhou Qing did not want his spiritual breakthrough to leave any hidden dangers. This was something he found difficult to accept.
"The Tree of Destiny is different from the Fruit of Destiny, you don't have to worry about this."
Taijitu God said: "Things that can help people carry the destiny have only appeared once in the past. The level of the destiny fruit is too high, and it is normal to have defects."
"But the inferior gestation power, you can regard it as a kind of nutrient. You need to absorb this nutrient and bear your own fruit. It is still your thing, and the gestation power is still within the destiny. , is flawless, I’m sure of that.”
Tai Chi Tu is very patient with Zhou Qing and will do his best to answer his questions.
Waiting for Zhou Qing to appear and helping him is the task given to him by Taishang, and Taijitu will never be fooled in this regard.
