Man in the heavens, wins by lying down to prove the truth

Chapter 201: A figure standing at the lower reaches of the long river of time
Queen of Yao Chi?

"Sister Taiwei, do you know this ancient great power?"

Yu Rouzi looked at Tai Weihua with some curiosity.

Tai Weihua nodded and said, "I have heard that... the Lord of Yao Chi Heaven back then was said to be the culprit for the collapse of Heaven, but that is not necessarily true."

"What?"

"The culprit for the collapse of Heaven?"

"Does Senior Taiwei know any other secrets?"

The reactions of several venerables were okay, but the reactions of younger generations such as True Lord Luochen and True Lord Jiaoba were very different.

Seeing these people's reactions, Tai Weihua also shook his head and said: "At the beginning, I was just a beginner in the Jiexian realm, and I hadn't even found my own path. As for this Yaochi Empress... I didn't have much contact with her, we just knew each other."

As soon as Tai Weihua finished speaking, the Queen of Yao Chi suddenly made a seal with one hand, tapped her whisk with the other, chanted Taoist words, and began to recount a widely circulated scripture.

"Daozang"!
This is a scripture that can be regarded as the foundation of the great way. It is still circulated in the world of monks today. It has transcended sectarianism. Even the masters of Buddhism have comprehended this scripture.

Basically, except Zhou Cheng, everyone will come into contact with this scripture when they first start practicing.

"On the Great Dao, there is ancient light, which means..."

Then, this ancient great man began to explain and annotate this Taoist canon.

Different people have different understandings of the Taoist Canon, and it can be explained from many angles.

The Queen of Yao Chi simply expounded the mysteries of Taoism according to her own way. Every word she spoke was like a pearl, turning into the heavenly sound of the Tao. Every sentence aroused the resonance of the power of the Tao of heaven and earth.

During this process, various strange phenomena emerged, hundreds of thousands of auspicious clouds, billions of auspicious auras, and golden lotuses in the sky that kept blooming and then disappearing...

"New life is born from death... Is this her way?"

A Yin-Yang diagram emerged behind Zhou Cheng, with countless strands of lines spreading and interweaving. These lines were black and white, respectively interpreting the many mysteries of life and death, water and fire, time and space, speed, and slowness, interweaving the power of the laws between heaven and earth.

These black and white silk threads are too complicated and cumbersome. You are in me and I am in you. The supreme avenue that is finally presented can be called yin and yang, or it can be called the two principles.

Yin and Yang... encompass all the concepts of unity and opposition in the world, not just the opposing attributes of the sun and the moon, water and fire.

"It's very similar to my way... but not the same."

A thoughtful look also emerged in Tai Weihua's eyes. The immortals all walked their own paths. Perhaps they all ended up in the same place, but the process was different.

Many fellow Taoists, including Venerable Bai and Venerable Lingdie, had similar reactions. They were all immersed in the sermon, and some of their long-standing doubts were suddenly cleared up.

Especially Venerable Bai, who gained a lot. His eyes were half closed, as if he was in deep thought.

In the body of Venerable Bai, the majestic and vast spiritual energy is constantly being compressed and compressed again... It is also undergoing a transformation.

As for Venerable Lingdie, he also gained a lot. It seemed that he had grasped something and touched upon an opportunity in the dark. The eighth-grade barrier that was originally difficult to shake now seemed to be somewhat loosened.

As time passed, the sound of chanting echoed, and the moon wheel of the immortal behind the Queen of Yao Chi became brighter and brighter.

No one knew how much time had passed, but after the sermon was finished, the Queen of Yao Chi sat cross-legged on the lotus platform without saying a word.

As the sermon came to an end, several venerable monks came back to their senses.

"I feel that taking one more step forward is not a problem. The sixth level of perfection is already beckoning to me!"

Jiaoba Zhenjun struck a bodybuilding posture, looking very excited.

Master Tongxuan and Beihe Sanren, who were standing by silently, nodded one after another. They were in the same boat and had made great gains.

"After this expedition is over, I plan to go into seclusion and comprehend the eighth-grade great way." Venerable Lingdie's eyes also showed an expression of emotion.

Next to him, Yu Rouzi looked a little confused: "I... look so familiar."

As she spoke, there was a sudden strange fluctuation in Yu Rouzi's aura, which startled Venerable Lingdie.

But the next moment, this strange fluctuation dissipated, and Yu Rouzi smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, Daddy, I'm fine."

"By the way, Dad, I want to change my Taoist name." Yu Rouzi suddenly spoke and looked at Venerable Lingdie.

The Ultimate Daughter Control Spirit Butterfly Venerable smiled and said, "All is fine. I said before that we should take 365 Dao names, and rotate one every day."

Yu Rouzi shook her head: "From now on...just call me Fairy Mu Song."

Mu...Song?

Venerable Lingdie's face turned dark.

Zhou Cheng spoke at this time, looked at Tai Weihua and said: "Did you gain anything?"

Tai Weihua's eyes sparkled, and a blush of excitement appeared on his cheeks: "I seem to have found my shortcomings, and the last step is not far away."

Just after Tai Weihua finished speaking, the Queen of Yao Chi on the Lotus Stage suddenly made a move.

She formed an ancient seal with her hands, and then the lotus platform beneath her and the moon wheel of the Immortal behind her suddenly dissipated, turning into bright and misty light spots and dissipated into the void.

Following closely, lotus flowers began to grow on the body of the Queen of Yao Chi, wrapping her up layer by layer.

"The Queen of Yaochi is demonstrating her own Dao, fellow Daoists, please do not be distracted."

Tai Weihua spoke up to remind them. At this moment, she was no longer paying attention to this scene. She was just thinking about how to go on her own path, so she spoke up to remind other fellow Taoists.

After these words were spoken, everyone present once again focused their attention on the Queen of Yao Chi.

As the performance began, everyone present gained insight into some... incomplete truths.

This is the mystery of a dead tree coming back to life in spring, and it confirms the cycle of life and death between heaven and earth.

Inside the body of the Queen of Yao Chi, a ball of spiritual light was shining brightly, and a new life was being conceived.

In just a blink of an eye, the new life is about to be conceived.

As the lotus slowly bloomed, the old body began to wither, and a slender figure emerged from the lotus.

This scene was like giving birth to a child, but it was happening inside the body...giving birth to a new self.

The old body will be abandoned, but all the fruits of the old body, including memory, spirit, perception, realm, etc., will be inherited by the new body and live out the second life.

"To live towards death is the same path as yours."

Zhou Cheng stood beside Tai Weihua, his eyes fixed on her.

Tai Weihua nodded, then shook her head: "We both comprehend the great path of life and death, but my path is different from hers. I will not abandon my old body, nor will I give birth to a new life from death. Instead, I will turn death into a new life and regain vitality."

"I feel that my Tao is stronger. With each nirvana, I will become stronger and my vitality will be more vigorous... until I truly transform and possess infinite vitality."

Tai Weihua gained a greater understanding from Zhou Cheng. The true way to longevity cannot be achieved by taking shortcuts. Or in other words... this is the way to immortality!
Throughout the ages, the only thing that is truly immortal...is the Way of Heaven throughout the ages.

The way for immortals to live forever is to revive their vitality again and again through alternative means, so as to live long and healthy lives.

And immortality... means eternal life, the real immortal body!
"Your path is more difficult, but your achievements are greater. Do you have confidence?"

Zhou Cheng said with a smile.

Tai Weihua remained silent. She whispered, "Can you... help me? If you can... I can always follow you. It doesn't matter if I become your maid."

It is said that floating clouds can cover the moon but not obstruct the eyes. Even if one is determined to die in pursuit of the truth, one can make sacrifices for the sake of a higher fruit.

"Hahaha..." Zhou Cheng smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

After all, you have to walk your own path.

After witnessing the nirvana of the immortals in this world, Zhou Cheng truly sorted out the ten levels of evolution from the first grade to the immortals.

Going further up... there is the realm of Confucian saints, who can write their own great text. This is the true limit under the Way of Heaven, the candidate of the Way of Heaven.

However, according to Zhou Cheng's deduction, there should be another immortal above this realm!
It is not the way of heaven, but it can also reach the state of immortality. It can be called an alternative way of enlightenment, a level that even the way of heaven cannot help.

If Tai Weihua can walk his own path and achieve nirvana time and time again, theoretically there is hope that he can reach this level.

While Zhou Cheng and Tai Weihua were talking, the Queen of Yao Chi finished her performance.

Then the Queen of Yao Chi began to talk to herself in the void.

This posture seemed as if the Queen of Yao Chi already knew that after a long time, someone would come here and see the projection she left behind.

"Today, I gave birth to myself again."

"Unlike before, this time I tried to give birth to myself earlier."

"But fortunately, the process went smoothly and the results were better than I expected."

The Queen of Yao Chi spoke an ancient language, and only Tai Weihua here mastered this language.

However, as an immortal, there is a power in her speech that can "translate" the content of her words so that everyone present can understand them.

"Emmm, I hid from him for more than three hundred years, but I was finally found. What a persistent man..."

The Queen of Yao Chi sighed, and then continued: "Forget it, I won't sigh anymore... I will record everything. If one day, I really die, this will all be part of history."

After saying this, the Queen of Yao Chi patted her Taoist robe and tied up her Taoist crown which was slightly crooked.

She straightened her clothes, and then... the empress quietly waited for the final result.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. No one knew how long it had passed, but the space in front of the Queen of Yao Chi suddenly collapsed, and then a pair of huge dark hands stretched out!

"I found you, Cheng Lin. Tell me why you betrayed Heaven." The voice of the big black hands was filled with endless anger.

"This is a secret, I can't tell you." A sweet smile appeared on Empress Cheng Lin's face, with a hint of playfulness.

"Anyway, the Heavenly Palace has been destroyed. Even if you know the truth, it is meaningless to you. What is gone is gone."

As soon as these words were spoken, the owner of the black hand was completely defeated!
"You... deserve to die!"

A pair of pitch-black hands grabbed Empress Cheng Lin's throat and head, and then squeezed them hard!
Boom!

The terrifying power was unleashed at this moment. During the entire process, the empress did not resist at all and faced death calmly.

The projection that had been imprinted here for so long came to an abrupt end at this moment, and everything returned to calm.

"This empress... just died like this?"

Jiao Ba Zhenjun spoke in disbelief.

The Snow Wolf Cave Master beside him couldn't help but say, "It seems that what Senior Taiwei knew is correct. This Yao Chi Queen is indeed the culprit for the destruction of the previous generation of Heaven."

True Lord Luochen said at this time: "Actually, I want to know who is the owner of that pair of black hands? The Lord of Heaven?"

At this time, Zhou Cheng said: "Let's go, this trip has been a complete success."

As he spoke, a vertical line between Zhou Cheng's eyebrows slowly opened up, as if he was seeing something.

But he took it back the next moment. During the whole process, Zhou Cheng's face was very calm, as if he didn't see anything special.

Reverend Bai also nodded in approval and said with a smile, "Indeed, I didn't expect the journey to be so smooth. Thanks to Fellow Daoist Chushi."

"In that case, Fellow Daoist Chushi, Fellow Daoist Bai, and all the other fellow Daoists, I will take my daughter back to Lingdie Island first, and we will meet again later." Venerable Lingdie bowed to everyone and said.

"No, Senior Song is filming a movie, and I want to play the leading female role." Yu Rouzi immediately put her hands on her hips and stared at her old father.

"No, you are going to be promoted to the fourth level soon. You must not be careless about the tribulation!" Venerable Lingdie suppressed Yu Rouzi.

Seeing this, Yu Rouzi just pursed her lips and didn't say much.

After Venerable Lingdie and his daughter left, several other fellow Taoists also left one after another.

Venerable Bai looked at Zhou Chengdao and said, "What are your plans, Fellow Daoist Chushi and Fellow Daoist Taiwei?"

Zhou Cheng did not hide it: "I plan to retreat for a period of time again, cut off the realm... and start over from the first level."

This was just an excuse. To this day, Zhou Cheng has already gained insight into the cultivation system of this world. The next step is to master the supreme fruit of the Tao, attain the fruit of the Heavenly Tao, and then he can return.

This process will take some time, but it shouldn't be too long.

"I also plan to go into seclusion for a period of time to perfect my path." Tai Weihua also said.

Hearing this, Venerable Bai's expression also became serious, and he blessed: "In this case, then congratulations to the two Taoists in advance, and hope they can make further progress."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole world seemed to brighten up, and an invisible aura fell on Zhou Cheng and Tai Weihua.

This is...a blessing to the world!

Zhou Cheng felt that if nothing unexpected happened, it shouldn't be a problem for him to attain the supreme Dao fruit. However, according to the strange laws of fate of Lord Bai, there would definitely be an "accident"!
A moment later, Zhou Cheng, Reverend Bai and Tai Weihua also disappeared in the ruins.

After Zhou Cheng and others left, a mist suddenly appeared here, and the sound of a surging river could be heard faintly.

A river that looks ancient, coming from eternity and flowing into the endless past.

"Hmm...it seems that I haven't seen this senior in the future. How strange! Is there something I don't know?"

Above the hazy river surface, a youthful girl stood downstream, looking in the direction where Zhou Cheng left with some curiosity.

"And this senior...seems to be able to see me?"
