Lin Nan returned to the Three Pure Landscape to practice and consolidate his golden elixir.
"If the three fellow Taoists succeed in their practice, it will be a waste of our acquaintance." Lin Nan said in his heart.
This consolidation lasts for a hundred days. A hundred days later, Lin Nan's golden elixir was consolidated and he came out of the pass to watch.
He summoned the Land God: "Land God, please take care of these three pure sights." "Go and go, the old man will take care of you!" The Land God solemnly promised.
Lin Nan nodded gently, everything was right. At this moment, he rose into the air with the wind, as if he was carrying the clouds and mist, soaring straight into the sky.
His destination is the high heavenly court, and this trip is intended to pay homage to the Supreme Laojun!
Unlike in the past, this time he did not wander around, but his body actually embarked on the road to heaven.
Above Qingming and outside the South Heaven Gate, Lin Nan, wearing a Taoist robe, came here gracefully.
"Master Lin Nan?" The King of Growth and the generals on duty showed a look of awe when they saw him.
The fact that Lin Nan became an immortal and achieved the "Nine-highest-grade celestial immortal" has long been circulated in the heavenly court, almost everyone knows it, everyone knows it.
Therefore, the guards of the Nantian Gate were even more respectful to him.
Last time they treated Lin Nan's identity, but now it's entirely because of his strength.
"I've seen you all." Lin Nan smiled and bowed, and his friendly attitude made the gods feel very friendly.
"I came to Heaven this time to pay homage to the Supreme Master." Lin Nan explained his purpose frankly.
Upon hearing this, both the Growth Heavenly King and other divine generals hurriedly turned to their side.
Lin Nan stepped into the South Heaven Gate without any strangeness, and he was already familiar with everything about the Heavenly Court.
The last time he wandered here, and this time he was the real person coming.
However, he had already understood the layout of the Heavenly Court.
The location of the Tushita Palace is even more in mind. Last time, Taibai Venus had specially guided him.
Passing through the South Heaven Gate, Lin Nan looked at the heavenly palace floating in the distance, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying to calm down his inner excitement.
That heavenly palace is the Tushita Palace.
The next moment, Lin Nan galloped towards the Tushita Palace, his heart full of admiration for the Supreme Lord.
Soon, Lin Nan came to the Tushita Palace. From a distance, I saw two boys, Jinjiao and Yinjiao, standing at the door waiting.
When they saw Lin Nan, the boys of Jinjiao and Yinjiao were all surprised and said in unison: "Senior Brother Lin Nan, the master ordered us to receive the guests. I didn't expect that it was you, Senior Brother."
In Taoism, in addition to being called by fellow Taoists and by seniority, there is another type that is called by fellow disciples and brothers among different veins.
The ranking of these brothers is naturally determined based on their cultivation level or age. Therefore, it is not a mistake to call Lin Nan the senior brother of Jinjiao and Yinjiao.
Lin Nan nodded with a smile and called them junior brothers. He was not surprised that Taishang Laojun could predict his arrival.
On the contrary, it would be strange if the Taishang Laojun did not know his arrival.
"Senior brother, please come with us." The boys of Jinjiao and Yinjiao led Lin Nan into the Tushita Palace.
Tushi Palace is the place where Taishang Laojun refines elixirs. As soon as Lin Nan stepped into the Tushita Palace, the first thing that caught his eye was the Bagua furnace in the hall and the rows of gourds containing golden elixirs next to it.
"Senior brother, wait for a moment, we will report." After the boy Jinjiao and Yinjiao said, he went to report.
Soon, they took Lin Nan to another hall. Lin Nan couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw a familiar figure.
That figure was the Taishang Laojun he worshipped in the Three Pure Land Temple every day.
At this moment, the Taishang Laojun was wearing a Taoist robe, sitting cross-legged on the cushion, with a plain face, and was quietly staring at Lin Nan.
Seeing the Supreme Laojun, Lin Nan seemed to have many new insights, as if the Supreme Laojun was sitting in front of him!
He bowed without hesitation and said, "Disciple Mingxuan, I have met the Supreme Master!"
It is no exaggeration to Lin Nan call the ancestor at this moment. After all, as a disciple of Zheng Yidao, he can be regarded as a disciple of Taishang Laojun.
The Supreme Laojun nodded slightly and signaled him to sit down.
Lin Nan stood up obediently, sat on the cushion beside him, and sat head-on with the Supreme Lord.
"You are very good to be able to form the innate true qi pill and cultivate the Nine-East Highest-grade celestial immortal." The Supreme Laojun spoke first and praised Lin Nan.
Lin Nan quickly said humbly: "I also want to thank the ancestors for their support and the kindness of giving them to the elixir."
"No need to be humble. This achievement is all about you. Others are just adding icing on the cake." The Supreme Old Master stared at Lin Nan, as if he had seen through him. "Like you, there will be no second one for thousands of years."
"Even the Buddhist son Xuanzang in recent years is not as good as you." The Supreme Lord said slowly, "Originally, you shouldn't have appeared."
After hearing this, Lin Nan was shocked. Before he could speak, the Grand Lord continued, "However, the Great Dao is fifty and the Heavenly Dragon is forty-nine, and there will be a hint of unexpected possibility. You are that possibility, even the Heavenly Dao cannot calculate the record."
These words shocked Lin Nan and also got some information from it. He couldn't help but think in his heart: "Don't the Supreme Master know that I am from the modern world? The way of heaven does not exist... Can even such a saint be deduced? Then why does this world and modern world have all kinds of common ground?"
Lin Nan thought, and said solemnly: "Disciple Mingxuan, I will always be a Taoist disciple."
The Grand Lord nodded slightly: "Although Zhang Daoling has searched through the inheritance himself, he cannot find the record of you "Lin Nan", but you cannot do anything false in your practice. Therefore, Zhang Daoling wanted to ask you about the truth, but I stopped him."
When Lin Nan heard this, he realized that there was such an inside story. The Zu Tianshi Zhang Daoling actually noticed himself and almost found him.
At this moment, Lin Nan didn't know whether to be grateful or what to do.
The Supreme Laojun continued, "No matter what your origin is, it is an indisputable fact that you are a Taoist disciple. And what you have done along the way is also in line with the Taoist actions. At this point, the origin is no longer important. At best, you are just from other worlds in the long and vast world." The Supreme Laojun's words were like thunder blew in Lin Nan's heart, making him unable to think for a while. All of this is both beyond expectations and as expected.
Although Lin Nan does not exist in this world, there were many signs that the Emperor Taishang Laojun could know these things, and it seemed no exception.
However, this still inevitably shocked Lin Nan's heart and it was difficult to calm down.
However, the Supreme Laojun did not care about Lin Nan's thoughts and continued to speak: "No matter what your origin is, now you are the key to breaking the deadlock."
"Break the deadlock?" Lin Nan couldn't help but ask.
"No," the old man of the Supreme Lord was calm and inactive, and there seemed to be no emotional fluctuations, but he said, "The situation is the situation where God is destined to be, and Buddhism and Taoism should prosper. But when Buddhism prospers, my Taoism will naturally decline. Many immortals and gods in the world are in the situation and under the way of heaven. But you are not there. Therefore, you can break this situation as the key to breaking the situation."
"Break the deadlock..." Lin Nan murmured to himself again. After a while, he accepted the information and reacted, "Does the Supreme Master... need me do something?"
The Grand Lord looked at Lin Nan, wondering if it was an illusion, but Lin Nan felt that there seemed to be a little "a child can teach" in this look.
But the next moment, what he saw was the quiet and inactive Taishang Laojun.
"Just act according to your own ideas and act boldly." said the Grand Lord, "The Xuanzang of Buddhism is a contemporary Buddhist son, and he shoulders the important task of promoting Buddhism... Then, you will be my Taoist son. Let's compete with the Buddhist rule and promote the power of our Taoist sect."
"Xuanzang is a Buddhist son, so you will be my Taoist son! Boldly do it!" The words of the Taishang Laojun echoed in Lin Nan's mind.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Lin Nan slowly walked out of the Tushita Palace, and the two words of Taishang Laojun still echoed in his mind and were difficult to disperse. He deeply remembered these two sentences from the Supreme Lord in his heart.
At the same time, the long-standing vague pressure on Lin Nan also disappeared and no longer existed.
During the days of Journey to the West, Lin Nan was always worried about his "existence" and was also worried about being enemies with Buddhism.
But now, these no longer exist. Because he got the two words from Taishang Laojun.
The words of the Taishang Laojun did not bring him substantial benefits, but they made Lin Nan feel at ease and had such confidence.
"Since that's the case, I won't be scruples anymore." Lin Nan murmured to himself, feeling extremely relaxed inside.
At this time, Lin Nan was also a little confused. Unfortunately, he still has some questions that have not been answered.
That is about the inexplicable connection between modern and Journey to the West, and what is the situation in the Dharma-Ending Age of the modern world.
Lin Nan hasn't understood these mysteries yet. However, his gains were already great enough for this trip to Tushita Palace.
As for the connection between the modern world and the Journey to the West, Lin Nan can completely wait for the future to explore it slowly.
Now... Lin Nan left the Tushita Palace step by step and slowly walked to the South Heaven Gate. Facing the "polite" godly general and the king on the South Gate of Heaven, Lin Nan also smiled slightly.
"Has Master Mingxuan been going smoothly?" The King of Growth looked at Lin Nan's smile and asked.
"Only by seeing the Supreme Master, can we know how profound his teachings are." Lin Nan replied, his heart full of admiration and gratitude for the Supreme Master.
Lin Nan responded softly, then stepped out of the South Heaven Gate, and his body turned into a cloud and mist, and rushed straight to the lower realm.
While speeding, his thoughts involuntarily floated back to the scene in Tushita Palace.
The Supreme Lord not only gave him earnest instructions, but also taught him a supreme method - the method of transforming into Hunyuan.
This magic is profound and mysterious, and is now firmly remembered by Lin Nan.
Once he can master and use this method of Qi transforming Hunyuan, entering the realm of Golden Immortal will no longer be an out of reach for him.
At that time, fighting against Sun Wukong and overwhelming magic of all the immortals was just a slight effort.
More importantly, Lin Nan showed a vast and boundless path of Taoist practice in front of him. This path seems to have no end and is full of infinite possibilities.
In contrast, the path of Buddhism’s cultivation seems much narrower. It is difficult for an Arhat to be promoted to a Bodhisattva as if he ascended to heaven, and it is even more distant to the Bodhisattva to attain the position of Buddha. They always advocate transcendence, but they find it difficult to break free from the constraints and are tightly shackled by the Buddhist rules and precepts.
Lin Nan thought in his heart and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Because of this, I must not let those who are Shetianxing succeed."
"Otherwise, wouldn't the people in this world suffer endless suffering?" Lin Nan had already made a decision in his heart. He made up his mind to act according to the guidance of the Supreme Lord, no longer have any concerns, but to give it a try.
From the heavens, Lin Nan did not stay in Chechi Kingdom for too long, but embarked on a journey eastward. He calculated with his fingers that it was a critical moment when the curtain of Journey to the West was about to open and Guanyin Bodhisattva was about to start his layout. Therefore, he galloped towards the east without hesitation.
Along the way, Lin Nan did not rush to turn into a stream of light and move forward quickly, but enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the Journey to the West world leisurely.
This was the first time for him that he had truly left the country of Chechi and embarked on this vast land of earth.
Although he had previously traveled to the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, the Taiyin Star Domain, and even went to the Heavenly Court himself, he had never taken a step forward in this world.
Now, he finally has the opportunity to visit this world in person. The scenery in front of him made him intoxicated and felt unprecedented novelty and shock. He looked at the magnificent world, and endless emotion and understanding surged in his heart.
In this way, Lin Nan walked along the way and unknowingly came to a strange place. In front of me, a river as huge as a river to the sky appeared. It connected to sand dunes in the east, to Zhufan in the west, to Wugo in the south, and to Tatar in the north. The river is winding and winding, and the path passes is 800 miles long, and it extends up and down to tens of thousands of miles away.
However, the strangeness of this river lies not in its length and breadth, but in the quicksand in its water.
There is no floating object on the river surface, and even the light lotus leaves cannot float up, and even the grass will sink to the bottom of the river.
A stone tablet stands by the river, with several lines of text engraved on it: "Eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak waters. Goose feathers cannot float, and reeds sink to the bottom."
Lin Nan couldn't help but feel moved when he saw these words, and he slowly landed on the quicksand river.
Surprisingly, he stepped on the quicksand, but his figure did not sink to the bottom. He looked down and his eyes flashed with light, piercing through the turbid quicksand and seeing the mountains of white bones piled up at the bottom of the river.
I don’t know how long these bones have accumulated, and how many innocent lives have been destroyed!
Just as Lin Nan was staring at the bones at the bottom of the river, a "sharp" sound suddenly came from the quicksand river.
Accompanied by the rippling water waves, an ugly monster jumped out of the river. This river monster is half demon and half demon, with an extremely ugly face. (This chapter ends)
