Martial Saint!.

Chapter 459: The Unity of Heaven and Man (asking for double monthly tickets)
"Chaos and Order are one. When separated, they are just the best of the middle ways, but when combined, they become the changes of the universe.

It is from order to disorder, from the starting point to the end point, from birth to death. It is the superior way that directly points to the origin of the universe and can further improve my way of the world. "

By the Stone Lake, Lu Chenzhou's eyes were clear and his mind was filled with inspiration. He did not practice shooting or boxing, but instead "developed the Tao".

On the top of the martial arts tree, a huge bubble representing "Chaos" flickered continuously, and words quietly emerged.

【Heaven and man are one, and the heart of Tao is clear! 】

It was autumn now, and he looked at the grass on the shore that was gradually withering; at the sycamore leaves that were turning from green to yellow and were about to wither; at the schools of fish that were immersed in the water due to the drop in temperature, and at the old man in the Air Force who had been working the same way for ten years, Master Wu Zun... As spring went and autumn came, all things were deserted.

Unconsciously, Lu Chenzhou was in a wonderful state. His consciousness seemed to be placed above the nine heavens, under the nine underworlds, and in all things, everywhere.

It was as if he had become the Way of Heaven!

He merged with the heaven and earth, his body became the world, his mind was the universe, and dense silk threads appeared before his eyes. They were entangled in a seemingly chaotic but actually orderly manner, forming the heaven and earth. This is an indescribable rule. For practitioners, it is the [law] or [Tao] in their understanding. [Rules] are everywhere in the universe, but ordinary people cannot see them.

Before peeping into the Tao, one will have a sudden enlightenment, but will only be able to comprehend the techniques faster. However, after peeping into the Tao, one will be able to briefly reach the legendary state of "harmony between man and nature", and will be able to perceive the deep-seated "rules" with the mortal eyes.

time flies.

He stood by the stone lake, thinking silently like a statue, motionless, with no breathing and no heartbeat.

To be precise, in a state of harmony between man and nature, his heartbeat and the pulse of the earth became one.

The lake was rippling, the earth was shaking, the sky was shaking, and rays of seven-colored light were falling. Strange visions were emerging in the heaven and earth: one could see the birth, aging, sickness and death of people, the growth and withering of plants, the vicissitudes of life, and even the birth and extinction of stars. In the end, the entire universe returned to nothingness.

From existence to non-existence, from prosperity to destruction, order to chaos, Lu Chenzhou's eyes became clearer and clearer. He saw the cruel truth behind the rules of the universe.

"The world will irreversibly go to destruction. All concepts, all living beings, and even gods will not be able to escape. Everyone will die, including me..."

At this moment, he somewhat understood why the way of the world was so difficult, because the closer he got to the truth of the world, the more desperate he became. Vaguely, a familiar and kind voice emerged in his mind, and a trace of inner demon buried in Lu Chenzhou's heart grew and transformed into the image of an old man in a white robe.

The old man smiled and said, "The way of the world is a double-edged sword. Lu Chenzhou, now you know why I want to stop you, right? Your way is wrong. If you are allowed to continue, the world will be irreversibly destroyed.

The only way to save this dying universe is to transform it through the [Law of the Stars]. Those foolish indigenous gods did not understand the secret at all, so they perished. The same is true for Daxia. Everything you do is meaningless.

Even if we win the war, we will still end up destroyed. Come to me, child, and let's study and progress together. With my wisdom and your understanding, we can save the world and all living beings."

……

On the edge of Stone Lake.

Wu Zun, Bai Miaomiao, Zhou Ruoxue, Chen Jiu and other masters surrounded the place where Lu Chenzhou attained enlightenment, in order to prevent anyone with bad intentions from taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Everyone dared not speak loudly and only whispered.

"What's going on? Has Shen Zhou's blessing come to his mind?"

"No, it doesn't seem like it. Have you ever heard of a blessing from the mind causing strange phenomena in heaven and earth, alarming the entire base city?"

"What is this? The birth of wisdom from the mind?"

“No.”

The Grand Master's [Harmony between Man and Nature] only existed in the few words and fragments of legends buried in the classics, so that everyone was confused about the situation for a while.

"Old Man Hanshan is here!"

"Great."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The white-haired old man was in high spirits, staring with sharp eyes at Lu Chenzhou, who had merged with the world at the edge of the Stone Lake.

As a powerful Heavenly King, he was well-informed. He could feel that Lu Chenzhou's heartbeat and pulse were resonating at the same frequency as the entire Xia Realm. This was "the unity of man and nature!"

"With my heart, I am in harmony with the heart of heaven... It is said that this is the highest state of spiritual blessing. The last time there was a documented experience of the unity of heaven and man was at Kunlun Mountain. It is suspected that the unity of heaven and man occurred to the Golden Ruins Lord, and a vision of the Queen Mother washing the sword appeared. After that, she created her own peerless magic skill, the Golden Emperor Sword, and was listed in the top ten of the Heavenly Man Ranking!"

in history,
Zhang Zu, the divine monk Kongwen, the old man Xiaoyao and other great figures of their time are also suspected to have entered the realm of unity between man and nature!

But it was the first time for Old Man Hanshan to witness the unity of man and nature with his own eyes. He was tense and acted as if facing a formidable enemy.

"The movement of Heaven and Man in Unity is too loud, the spies from the Demon King's Palace and the Ancient God Church must have noticed it. He is immersed in this state during this period, and it is also a good time to launch a sneak attack." Thinking of this, Old Man Hanshan hurriedly asked for help from the Heavenly King, whom he could absolutely trust, through the Lantern Order.

……

"What? Lu Chenzhou has achieved unity between man and nature?"

The Heavenly King Zhenbei, who was in charge of the imperial capital, changed his expression slightly.

The unity of heaven and man is a great opportunity. For a great master, being able to quickly improve the level of Tao can at least save several years of hard training. But what Lu Chenzhou lacks is time! No matter what, his safety must be guaranteed!

"In the Jiangnan region, there are two people in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking, [Gentleman Sword] and [Cuishan Taoist]..."

He contacted the two immediately.

Taoist Cuishan did not respond. After asking, I learned that the Taoist was now in seclusion in Yuanshan Cave.

It looks like we are also preparing to break the seventh.

Then, a figure with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, wearing a yellow robe, carrying a heavy sword on his back and a light sword hanging from his waist appeared.

"Lu Chenzhou has achieved unity between man and nature?"

"Yes." "That's great. A great master can achieve the unity of man and nature. Only the Dragon King and the Wanshixian can do it, right? I think my understanding is okay, but it was only after I became the King of Heaven that I was able to achieve the unity of man and nature."

"Thank you for taking the trouble, Fellow Daoist Ye. It will only take one day... Is there any problem with Jiangnan Martial Arts University?"

"No problem. With Fellow Daoist Yu, ranked 23rd on the Heavenly Human Ranking, and Fellow Daoist Xu, ranked 78th, in charge, the Demon Emperor Palace won't dare to mess around."

Not long after, Ye Xiaoyao turned into a beam of light, crossed the Yunmengze, and headed towards the Sucheng base city.

……

at the same time.

Kunlun Wuhan University.

"Hmm? Little Lu has achieved the unity of man and nature? Then I have to go and see for myself. It just so happens that I have just trained an incarnation of will." Shangguan Xue raised the corners of her mouth.

In recent years, some of the top kings of Daxia have been studying the "One Incarnation into Three Bodies" technique left by Juedian. Theoretically, they can condense up to three incarnations of will, and the incarnation has one third of the strength of the original body. As long as the incarnation's power is not exhausted, it can continue to exist.

The incarnation is essentially a projection of long-standing power, so it does not have independent will.

A Heavenly King could only condense one incarnation at most, and Shangguan Xue had just completed it some time ago. Coincidentally, this incarnation was in a ruin somewhere in Jiangnan.

……

The vast Yunmeng Lake.

"Ancestor, there is something unusual happening in Su City. The news came from the Wanxiangdao campus. It may be related to Lu Chenzhou!"

A demon king was lying on the ground reporting the situation.

The Spirit Eyed Demon King, who had a single eye and wore a graceful golden scale robe, looked stern and said in a cold voice:
"understood."

It has already learned the details from the [Witch]. This little beast Lu Chenzhou was so lucky that he actually entered the legendary state of [Law of Heaven and Earth].

In this state, the speed of comprehension of the laws is greatly improved, and it progresses by leaps and bounds, which is what all demons and ghosts dream of!
Fortunately, the Witch was very good at predicting things, and he had already planted the seeds of inner demons in his heart. If this boy could not overcome the inner demons, the unity of heaven and man would instead reveal great terror, and he would go astray, and his Taoist heart would collapse and he would die.

But Wu was still worried, he asked the Demon King of Jiangnan, the Sky Ghost, and even the [King of Truth] of the [Eye of Truth] to unite, break into Sucheng, and kill Lu! In the state of unity between heaven and man, Lu Chenzhou could only be slaughtered.

……

In an old house in the wilderness somewhere in Jiangnan.

The handsome man opened the door and disappeared into the world.

"Heh, Lu Chenzhou, you didn't expect that we would meet again so soon. This time, I will kill you!"

……

Before the trial of the small world, on the other side of the unknown curtain, after countless years of intrigue, the evil gods in the restricted area were finally conquered by the [Witch] with absolute wisdom and strength. The [Ancient God Church] was also packaged by the Witch in another way, changed its appearance, and regained new life.

Its name is [Eye of Truth].

Wu became the de facto leader of the evil gods!
The witch adopted a new method to divide the human world and weaken the foundation of martial arts, that is, the magician of truth.

The witch disguises the power of faith and opens up the extraordinary through [truth] and [ritual].

Wu imitated the Great Xia martial arts and changed the Shinto beliefs of many evil gods into the so-called [Fire], [Earth], [Ocean], [Storm], [Thunder], [Blood], [Light] and other factions.

A series of extraordinary realms such as low-level, intermediate, and high-level truth magicians, truth mentors, grand truth mentors, kings of truth, and saints of truth that sounded like they had nothing to do with gods but were no less superior to martial arts were put forward.

In short, Wu didn't need to disguise himself very well. He only needed to cut off the connection with the Church of the Ancient God as much as possible, relax the vigilance of the lower-class people in Daxia, and let them change to the way of the truth magician. The system he created was indeed faster in the early stage of practice and more difficult than the martial arts. Moreover, it would not produce any alienation. In addition, there was no need to fight against the official in order to spread the faith, and only needed to practice in secret.

As for what happens next… there is no future on this path, but when these people find out, it’s already too late.

Therefore, the Eye of Truth spread quietly among the people like wildfire, and the most serious ones were the wilderness bandit groups, ordinary satellite towns, and small base cities.

All kinds of private societies, monasteries, clubs and other small groups continue to emerge under the protection of local corrupt forces that can never be eradicated. They are endless and cannot be completely defeated.

The other evil gods did not understand Wu's intentions, and only thought that Wu's abandonment of the Way of Faith and the Church of the Ancient Gods was a severance of his own foundation. But Wu was a dictator, and after repeated failures, he had had enough of these stupid, infighting colleagues, and he wanted to do it in his own way.

Millions of mountains.

Between the towering mountains, there is an illusory landscape like a mirage. The space here seems to be folded, and within its cracks, there is an endless void.

In the void, there was a colorful eyeball hanging high in the sky, and a crisscrossing network of paths led through the void to an unknown place. Under the eyeball was a grand temple that was about ten thousand feet high, solemn and majestic, like the Parthenon.

There are 36 pillars in total supporting the temple. On each pillar, there is a statue of a great Greek philosopher with a compassionate look and wise eyes.

In the main hall, in front of a round table, more than thirty projections wearing robes, crowns, and holding books in their hands sat.

The leader was an old man in a white robe.

He has a gentle gaze. He was once the leader of the Witch God Cult, and now he is the King of Truth of the [Elemental School]. He is also the spokesperson for witches in the world and is extremely powerful.

“It has been proven that the traditional way of spreading faith in Xiajie is not feasible. The Eye of Truth has been established for ten years and has achieved better results than our previous hundred years of operation. Hundreds of thousands of people have become glorious apprentices of truth magicians, and their souls have been successfully connected to the [Truth Webway] created by the treasure [Eye of Truth]. They only need to master the truth formula to cast miraculous spells.

Next, we will continue to spread the truth secretly and fight guerrilla warfare with the Parliament of All Nations. I believe that under the instinctive trend of pursuing power, more people will choose to be truth magicians, abandon martial arts, and fall into the trap.

Unfortunately, I realized it too late. If I had founded it a few decades earlier, I would have had the confidence to pull Lu Chenzhou into the Eye of Truth, and there would be one less difficult martial arts genius in the world." Wu Jie said.
