Chapter 901 The Third Time Period

Chaos is not divided into chaos, and no one sees it.

Since Pangu broke the Harmony, opened up a clear and turbid distinction.

The number of heaven and earth is 129,600 years for one cycle, which is divided into 12 periods: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai, each period lasting 10,800 years.

Since the creation of the universe, through the rule of the Three Sovereigns and the establishment of the Five Emperors, the heaven and the earth gradually differentiated into the Three Realms, Nine Heavens, Four Continents, and the Underworld. Among them, the human world has Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniu Hezhou, Nanshanbuzhou, and Beijuluzhou.

There is a mountain outside the Dongsheng Divine Land called Huaguo Mountain.

There is a fairy stone on the top of the mountain, which is 36 feet 5 inches high. According to the 365 degrees of the celestial sphere, its circumference is 24 feet. According to the 24 solar terms, it has nine orifices and eight holes, corresponding to the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

Since the creation of the world, this stone has received the essence of the sun and the moon every day, and absorbed the beauty of nature and earth. Over time, it has nurtured the embryo of an immortal.

Today, the immortal stone suddenly burst apart, and the immortal cell transformed into a monkey with all five senses and four limbs. As soon as it appeared, it learned to crawl and walk, and bowed to all directions.

Looking up at the sky, the innate spiritual energy began to flow in his eyes, revealing two golden lights that broke through the Tiangang atmosphere, crossed the boundary between heaven and man, and shot directly into the heavens and between the palaces, startling the Emperor of Heaven who was sitting in the Lingxiao Palace in the Jinque Cloud Palace.

The Emperor of Heaven sat on the ninth floor of heaven and gathered the immortals. When they saw the blazing golden light on earth, they ordered Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Hearing Ears to open the South Gate of Heaven to watch.

Suddenly, thousands of blue clouds were seen rising, nine-colored lotus flowers fell from the sky, and fairy music penetrated the entire cloud palace in heaven.

The thirty-three heavenly palaces, including the Qianyun Palace, Bisha Palace, Wuming Palace, Taiyang Palace, and Huale Palace, all responded and nine-colored flames appeared out of thin air.

The seventy-two halls, including the Chaohui Hall, Lingxu Hall, Baoguang Hall, Tianwang Hall, and Lingguan Hall, also underwent changes, with glazed light flowing through them.

And all the strange scenes among the palaces and pavilions converge into a wonderful sound, which is the sound of an ancient bell that seems to be close at hand and yet seems to be in the sky.

This sudden change left many immortals in the Lingxiao Palace and the Heavenly Palaces in the heavens confused and at a loss.

The Emperor of Heaven, who was high up on the ninth floor and overseeing the heavens, smiled and said, "Don't be alarmed, my dear ministers. It is the Taiyi Sun God and Taiyi Qingtong Zhenjun who have descended into this world!"

"God Taiyi Sun Yao?"

"Taiyi Qingtong Zhenjun?"

When hearing these two names, most of the immortals and gods first showed puzzled expressions, but then after thinking about it carefully, they all showed expressions of sudden enlightenment and remembered each other's origins.

"It turns out to be the Taiyi Sun God, the Taiyi Qingtong Zhenjun, who used to sit in the underworld, save the dead souls, and control the immortal records. I didn't expect that he would come back."

"Speaking of which, in order to suppress the demon derived from the karma of Buddhism, this true lord pressed it into the underworld and reincarnated it for thousands of lifetimes. We all thought that he would wait for a while before returning, but we never thought that he would eliminate the disaster in advance. He is worthy of being one of the emperors who held the power of the sky in the past."

Several immortals spoke, and Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li who was standing in the front looked at Nezha behind him nervously.

At this moment, Nezha's breath was a little strange, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, sometimes emitting the fragrance of lotus, sometimes emitting the fragrance of sandalwood.

"Nezha?"

Li Tianwang looked back and clenched the pagoda in his hand. The Emperor of Heaven above saw this and slowly spoke: "You must be recalling some of the things about Taiyi God. In the past, the green lotus root that Tathagata used to rebuild his body came from that Qing Tongjun. It's normal that you feel familiar with it."

As the Emperor of Heaven finished speaking, Nezha's frown instantly relaxed and he revealed a look of realization.

"I see. I was wondering why I suddenly had some extra memories. It turns out I remembered it wrong."

Seeing this, Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the Taiyi Riyue God is the ancient emperor of our heaven. He was also the one who was in charge of the immortal books in the past. He can be said to be the ancestor of the gods and immortals. I suggest that we quickly send someone down to earth to invite him back to heaven?"

Many immortals nearby spoke up to agree, saying that this was the way it should be.

The Emperor of Heaven waved his hand and said, "The Lord Taiyi has not yet fully awakened and is still going through the tribulation. Please do not disturb him."

After saying this, the Emperor looked towards the east again and said, "Taibai, tell everyone in Huoyun Cave Heaven about the return of Taiyi God, and then go to Tushita Palace to inform Laojun."

The sudden order from the Emperor of Heaven was a little confusing, but everyone was smart and did not ask too many questions. They followed the original process and asked Thousand-Li Eyes and Wind-Ears to go to the South Heaven Gate to take a look and learn about the origin of the stone monkey.

The Emperor of Heaven smiled and said, "Since the things below are born from the essence of heaven and earth, it is not surprising that they have such strange phenomena. Let them be."

At the same time, Chu Tai, who arrived in the current time period, is having a hard time.

Being violently sent into this world by Shang Qing Tian, ​​he felt extremely oppressed, and the laws and principles of the surrounding heaven and earth kept squeezing him inward.

If he had not left behind a foundation in the previous two time periods, and had not left some trace in this world, he would probably have been suppressed by the all-encompassing avenue that operated between heaven and earth the first moment he came to the world.

But it took him a lot of time to adjust his condition.

"This world..."

Reaching out and absorbing the vital energy from the surroundings, Chu Tai was surprised to find that the vital energy and spiritual charm of this world were extremely pure. Not only was there no pollution, but it also revealed a pure and holy aura.

But Chu Tai, who had experienced the two previous worlds, felt a little uncomfortable.

"In the world of the Three Pure Ones, is there still such a peaceful place?"

Chu Tai carefully observed his surroundings, and the incomplete eye in his palm began to emit a faint light.

The Emperor of Heaven above the Nine Heavens turned his gaze slightly and looked down.

In the Tushita Palace, Taishang Laojun paused for a moment as he fanned the palm-leaf fan.

In the Fire Cloud Cave, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors looked at each other.

The next moment, the all-encompassing precious light was moving above the nine heavens.

The yin and yang energies descend from the sky and separate and organize.

The Three Talents and Five Elements reordered human relations, and countless changes in principles covered the eyes in Chu Tai's palms.

Somewhere in the dark, the Emperor of Heaven saw an eye looking at him.

Just a simple eye contact was enough to cause countless twisted, chaotic, weird, and indescribable demonic powers to attack the Emperor of Heaven.

These demonic qualities are not simply a collection of despair, hatred, pain, and desire, but also contain thoughts such as love, wisdom, courage, and compassion. However, because the two desires and thoughts are entangled with each other, an extremely distorted Pure Land Heaven is constructed.

On the surface, there are countless celestial beings, immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas in the Pure Land Heaven who exchange their insights from scriptures, practice supernatural powers, and perfect the great way, understand the world, and contribute to the construction of the Pure Land Heaven.

After repeated discussions and practice, the cultivation and realm of these celestial beings, immortals, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas have been constantly improving, and they have gradually reached the third or even second level of cultivation.

But their essence is just activated will, thoughts and cognition, or in other words, the thoughts of the devil.

Some of them are completely unaware of their true nature, and practice step by step to promote the perfection of the Pure Land; some recognize that they are their true nature, and are drawn by the devil in their madness, deriving possibilities from the impossible, and returning to the "right path"; others recognize their true nature, see through the falsehood, and know that they are the devil, and they accept this fact and continue to practice...

Among them, the majority in this pure land are not clear about their own nature.

The ones who went crazy were many geniuses. The Emperor of Heaven was very clear about their images. There were Zhenwu, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Cihang, Zhenyuanzi and so on.

Those who recognize the essence and accept the facts are even more familiar with it, except for Zhenwu, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Cihang and others. The one who has gone the furthest on this path is the Tathagata of Pure Light, who sits above many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. The Buddha light behind his head is pure and holy, just like the sun, illuminating the ten directions and saving the world.

As well as the Emperor Hanzhen Wanling, who is supported by many celestial beings and immortals, auspicious clouds surge above his head, and the phantoms of countless and boundless sentient beings emerge one by one, gathering all the information of all things, interpreting all the changes of all things, and constructing all the forms of all things.

At this moment, the two looked at the Emperor of Heaven at the same time and said slowly: "You can't seal me."

As he spoke, the yin and yang energies descended, countless celestial beings and immortals were destroyed, and countless caves and blessed lands disappeared.

In the Pure Land, an old man appeared, waving a palm leaf fan in his hand. Everything around him seemed to go back in time, pieced together again, and restored to its original appearance. He pointed at Laojun and laughed: "Destruction, destruction, you are at your wit's end!"

The Three Talents and Five Elements manifest, constructing a huge millstone of order to crush all chaos, distortion, error, and disorder, and construct order, stability, and regularity.

A phoenix covered in the five virtues' rays of light appeared, holding up the great way derived from the changes of the Three Talents and Five Elements, and laughed as it looked at the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in the Fire Cloud Cave Heaven.

"Are all the creatures in this world not human beings? You can be considered a humane saint king by killing your subjects?"

But in the next moment, the all-encompassing precious light slowly covered everything, covering up all concepts.

Whether it is the yin and yang energies, the changes of the five virtues, or even the auspicious clouds of all spirits that contain all information, and the pure and spotless Buddha's light that is like the sun, they have all been given new concepts and new names.

Tathagata, the Emperor, the old man, and Phoenix all changed their expressions at the same time, and said in a cold voice: "You are a good Heavenly Emperor. If outsiders knew that you were using Heavenly Demon methods to resist Heavenly Demons, I wonder if your subjects would be able to accept it?"

"Covering everything is the wonder of the innate. Your Majesty, why not use your innate to defeat your acquired nature?"

The Yin and Yang Qi turned, and the shadow of Taishang Laojun emerged. Looking at the image of the old man below, he frowned slightly: "I didn't expect that you still kept this incarnation?"

"Back then, when you and I were discussing the Dao, I gathered your thoughts and transformed them into many Dharma images, telling you another possibility. However, you were unwilling to accept it and cut off your incarnations. I had no choice but to take it in with all my might as a gift for our farewell today. How about it? Do you like it?"

The old man looked at Taishang Laojun with an angry expression on his face, and the same yin and yang energies as Taishang Laojun were flowing on his body. The twisted three thousand moral articles were flying, constantly resisting the influence of the precious light.

The phoenix also transformed into an old woman, looked at the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and sneered, "Why can only men like you be respected? Why can't women like us be emperors?"

"How can there be men and women in the past God Kings? How can there be high and low in the world? Why are you unwilling to accept my existence? Am I not a part of the change of civilization?"

"Or is it that your vision is so limited that you can't stand seeing a woman in power?"

As she spoke, the flame of civilization burned in her body, burning the new concepts that the precious light had given her.

Facing the old woman's accusations, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did not say a word. They just kept operating the order and used the precious light to little by little press the Pure Land into the void.

In this process, all the information, all the power, and the fruit positions of all the immortals and bodhisattvas in the Pure Land are constantly refined and consumed by the precious light, and then given new concepts and new names, forming a huge seal that suppresses the essence of the Pure Land.

Essentially speaking, the power of the Pure Land Heaven has not decreased. It's just that the Emperor of Heaven used the same unreasonable method, using his own status to invade part of the foundation of the Heavenly Demon, and then forcibly defined the concept of this part of power, forcing him to fight against himself.

Feeling that he was about to lose his freedom again, the demon kept struggling and roaring, trying to interfere with the Emperor's thoughts.

"My thoughts are endless. As long as I keep thinking, I will not die. Heavenly Emperor, you cannot suppress me!"

"You have already exhausted all your variations. Your all-encompassing nature is about to be revealed by me. Next time, let's see how you can suppress me."

"If you have the guts, make all those living beings your puppets, so that there won't be any loopholes in your transformation, and spend your whole life here with me."

"Don't forget that the Great Heaven Civilization you created is still under my influence. Do you think suppressing me here will save your Great Heaven from falling? Impossible. Emperor Tian, ​​I tell you, the Great Heaven you created will definitely fall!"

"Emperor of Heaven, you deserve to die..."

Under the cover of the precious light, some concepts of the Heavenly Demon were completely covered, and the information and titles were reorganized. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors gave it a new order, and the Yin and Yang energies of Taishang Laojun gave it a new foundation, and together with the Emperor of Heaven, they completely suppressed the power of the Heavenly Demon back to the deepest part of the heaven and earth in the current time period.

In the past, present and future, countless shadows of immortals, Buddhas and gods appeared, standing in the void. Under the cover of the all-encompassing precious light, they constructed an extremely large and complex seal.

Accumulating layer by layer, they converge into the virtual images of the Three Pure Ones, manifesting the illusion of Tathagata Buddha, and copying the virtual image of the Goddess of Creation. Ultimately, all these powers are attributed to the virtual image of a supreme and true Emperor.

The Emperor raised his hand, and a halo of light emitting seventy-two colors fell down, completely covering up the traces of the demon.

Chu Tai didn't notice any of this. The only thing he noticed was the subtle changes in the eye lines on the palm of his hand.

In Chu Tai's perception, the mysterious adaptability of his eyes was obviously weakened in the current world, and was easily suppressed by him with the Taiyi Avenue.

But the fact that the suppression was completed so smoothly actually made him a little worried.

'I don't think there will be any other problems waiting for me.'

This was Chu Tai’s first reaction, and he looked up at the sky.

Carefully sense the power of this world. Among the three time periods, the power in this time period is the most terrifying.

In the first time period, there were only a few powerful beings with a status similar to that of the first grade, but actually of the second grade. He could still fight against them with the power of the Donghuang Bell.

In the second time period, only the Evil Emperor and Tathagata Buddha had a status similar to the first rank, but their strength was inferior to the immortals in the first time period, and they were more seriously affected by the destiny. Chu Tai didn't even need to kill them himself, his incarnation with the help of the power of the Donghuang Bell could also entangle with them.

The third time period was the most terrifying. According to the power that Chu Tai had previously sensed from afar, there were at least two first-grade beings in the heaven, one strong and one weak. The strong one was no less than True Lord Qingshi, and the weaker one was far superior to him.
