I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 203: Burning corpses and casting thrones, Yuanshi kills the Emperor of Heaven
"Are you asking for a fire? I'll give you a fire."

"Looking for a forging tool? I'll help you."

The past and the future, Yuanshi and Lingbao, all narrate in this way. In the misty Yuquan Fairy Mountain, the middle-aged Taoist in front of the Taoist Palace shook his head slightly:
"But if you act like this, I'm afraid Brother Yuhuang will be furious."

The young Taoist priest who was sitting on the future laughed loudly with his hands clapping:

"Your actions are very much in line with my wishes. Good, good, the best!"

Zhou Mu performed the rituals one by one, illuminating the past and the future.

The young Taoist asked:
"Have you ever seen the Immortal Execution Sword on the forehead of the Deposed Emperor?"

"To reply to Senior Lingbao, I have seen it, but unfortunately I cannot remove it."

"Not necessarily."

The young Taoist's jade-like face was filled with a smile, and his tone was drawn out:
"The deposed emperor will not be able to bear this humiliation. He will completely sever his connection with his corpse. If he really does so, you can take out [Zhu Xian], but."

After a moment's pause, the young Taoist's smile faded:
"Remember, you must not draw out [Zhu Xian] immediately. Zhu Xian is the first of the four swords. Its killing intent is stronger than Lu Xian, its danger is more wonderful than Xian Xian, and its cruelty is greater than Jue Xian."

"If you want to obtain Zhu Xian, you must either become a king or a saint, or you must complete your sword formation, or you must possess the other three swords. Otherwise, if you presumptuously possess Zhu Xian, your life will be in jeopardy."

Zhou Mu quickly bowed:

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

"It can't be considered as guidance." The young Taoist said calmly: "Since you have inherited the title of Tongtian, I have only one favor to ask of you."

"Junior, please listen."

"Well, at the beginning of this era, I built the Biyou Dao Palace, and thousands of immortals came to pay homage. Although it was a necessary move at the beginning of this era, and although everything was burned down later, it is still a pity."

As he spoke, the young Taoist stared at Zhou Mu quietly:

"Next year, you will call this Green Wandering Palace to tower over the sky, or the Netherworld, to shine brightly across the world, or to illuminate the netherworld."

Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment, then realized - this meant that he was going to develop the Biyou Palace and recreate the scene of the immortals coming to pay homage, or even create a situation where all the ghosts came to worship.

He solemnly performed the ceremony:
"If I can do enough next year, I will definitely live up to the trust of my predecessors!"

"good."

The young Taoist pointed his finger, and a decree appeared. There was only one word "Forge" on it, and he said:

"Take it, and when you need it, light it with the fire of your spiritual thoughts, and it will give you what you need."

Zhou Mu took it with both hands, his eyes blurred and his thoughts returned to normal.

at this time.

The vast past, the early years of the era.

"Well, since you have this idea, I can't stop you. But remember to be careful in the future."

The middle-aged Taoist reached out his hand and a wisp of auspicious cloud turned into a decree, with only one word "burn" on it.

He handed the decree to Zhou Mu and said with a smile:
"By following this decree and igniting it with the fire of spiritual thought, you can obtain a blazing fire."

Zhou Mu took it and solemnly put away the decree. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, the middle-aged Taoist stopped him.

"Come to think of one more thing."

Zhou Mu's heart moved:
"But please give me your instructions, Senior. But I am the Jade Void God, so I have the duty to make the Jade Void Palace flourish?"

The middle-aged Taoist was stunned:
"How do you know that it was Lingbao who said something similar to you?"

"Senior Mingjian."

The middle-aged Taoist laughed and clicked his tongue twice:

"You should know the story behind the first catastrophe of this era, right?"

"I know a little bit. In the mortal world, it seems that King Wu is fighting against King Zhou, but in fact, it involves the heavens and the earth, and all parties are involved. The main ones are [Yuxu Palace] and [Biyou Palace]."

Zhou Mu answered honestly, and the middle-aged Taoist nodded:

"You are right. Everyone in the world says that I, Yuanshi, have broken up with Lingbao. In fact, the Three Pure Ones are one. How can there be a breakup?"

He sat cross-legged on a large bluestone slab, quietly gazing at the rolling clouds in the sky, and spoke gently:
"The first calamity was just a minor incident, but some fellow Taoists plotted and interfered, which led to a real fight between me and Lingbao's disciples."

"Although the node has reached the end of the catastrophe, Lingbao and I can no longer meet each other. The two paths of [Chan] and [Jie] that our respective incarnations practiced cannot be distinguished."

Zhou Mu blinked:
"Senior, do you want me to practice these two methods to see who is better?"

"good."

The middle-aged Taoist smiled:

"The two paths of interpretation and interception are completely different and contradictory, but they also have the meaning of being integrated with each other. If you can understand the two, it may be of great benefit."

After a pause, he continued:

"To be honest, these two paths also have direct manifestations - although they are a bit 'narrow'."

Zhou Mu became slightly excited:

"Please give me some advice, senior."

The middle-aged Taoist priest began to preach. Golden lotuses appeared from the sky and on the ground. The Jade Tripod Taoist Palace opened. The Taoist Heavenly Master and Erlang Zhenjun sat cross-legged, listening quietly.

"To explain, to explain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, in other words, to follow the way of heaven and earth. Those who follow this way will be loved by heaven and earth. Every word and action will explain the truth of heaven and earth. If you go to the extreme, how to explain the truth of heaven and earth will all depend on your own thoughts. Have you thought of anything?"

Zhou Mu nodded solemnly:

"Yes, I think of virtue."

"Of course."

The middle-aged Taoist nodded gently:

"The part of [Chan] that is about Taoism coincides with [Virtue]. Chan is also a different kind of practice of virtue."

"Speaking of [cut], the [Tongtian Daoist] incarnation of Lingbao, [cut] means to cut off a part of oneself from the sky above and the earth below."

Zhou Mu listened with great interest:

"I thought that the so-called [intercept] meant to intercept a ray of hope."

"It does have this meaning, but it's only part of it." The middle-aged Taoist said calmly, "This path is not feasible. Even if you have a spiritual treasure, you can only walk as an incarnation."

"The reason is very simple. The deeper you go down the path of [interception], the less likely you are to become [Supreme]. Stealing the great world with your own body and intercepting things that belong to you from the heaven and the earth is essentially a dead end."

After a pause, the middle-aged Taoist changed the subject:
"You don't understand the specific meaning now, but if you achieve enlightenment in the future, you will naturally understand. In other words, the way of expounding is similar to virtue, and the way of intercepting, in a narrow sense, is similar to [physical training]."

Zhou Mu listened quietly, thinking about the meaning:

"The body is the precious raft for crossing the river. If you cut off one path, you can cut off the world for your own use. The body gathers great power in your own body, unlike the practice of magic power and virtue, which requires the help of the world."

The middle-aged man nodded appreciatively:

"That's the truth. When you become a celestial being in the future, you can try to practice the two ways of [Chan] and [Jie]. This will not only help you to distinguish the superiority of Chan and Jie, but it will also benefit you immensely."

Pastor Zhou presided over the ceremony:

"Junior understands."

"Okay, go do your own thing first."

Taoist Yuanshi waved his hand, and Zhou Mu's figure gradually faded. Before he disappeared, he asked one last question:
"Senior, then, is there a Taoist priest named Hongjun?"

He has always been curious: since there is the first calamity of the Conferred Gods, is there also Taoist Hongjun?
In the first calamity of the Conferred Gods in my previous life, Taoist Hongjun was the master of the Three Pure Ones.
“Hongjun?” The middle-aged Taoist nodded. “Yes, he is an incarnation of Taishang, also known as the [Ancestor of the Creation of Heaven and Earth]. He existed in the first catastrophe and was later sealed away.”

Zhou Mu’s doubts were resolved and his thoughts returned to the present.

When he opened his eyes, he was already in Lingxiao Palace.

"Expound, Interpret"

Although Zhou Mu was not taught any specific method, Yuanshi Taoist's preaching seemed to have opened a whole new door for him, and he consciously tried to put it into practice.

Expounding means to explain the way of the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. If you go to the extreme, the so-called ultimate truth of heaven and earth is in your own mind. Whether it is right or wrong, it is up to you to interpret it.

Interception refers to the way of intercepting the heaven and earth for one's own use. Its limit is unknown. We only know that it cannot be tolerated by the heaven and earth. If one reaches the limit, one will become the [great heaven and earth].

The great heaven and earth are the basis of the existence of all the heavens and the worlds, and the infinite universe all depends on the great heaven and earth for its existence.
Zhou Mu was lost in thought. Beside him, the porcelain doll called out softly:
"Brother Dao?"

He woke up, stood up leisurely, smiled and said:

"I have learned how to transform myself into the Emperor of Heaven and restore the throne."

The porcelain doll was moved, and the Tianpeng piggy opened his eyes wide:
"Grand Marshal, you obviously didn't go anywhere."

Zhou Mu explained peacefully:

"Just a moment ago, I have been to the past and the future. I have seen Yuanshi and Lingbao."

The porcelain doll swallowed again, and Tianpeng Pig had a bewildered look on his face. He was shocked by the words, and his already unclear intelligence became even more confused.

He scratched his head and said, "No wonder you, the Grand Marshal, were able to overthrow the Emperor of Heaven."

Zhou Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was too lazy to explain more - it was impossible to explain clearly, Tianpeng was in a state of dementia.

He turned his head and stared at the corpse of the Emperor of Heaven, which was only eighteen feet tall. The green lamp above his head was dimly lit.

“Before You Act”

Zhou Mu smiled brilliantly, and in the horrified gazes of the porcelain doll and the Tianpeng piglet, he walked forward and climbed onto the corpse of the Emperor of Heaven, and then
Undress the Emperor of Heaven.

To be precise, it means stripping the emperor's clothes.

"Don't even think about it." He explained as he peeled off the emperor's robe, "This must be the highest. Wouldn't it be a pity to melt it all together?"

The porcelain doll was stunned, while the canopy pig smiled and clapped his hands:
"What the Grand Marshal said is true. Without the imperial robes and robes, how can one be appointed as the new emperor?"

Zhou Mu quickly stripped off the emperor's clothes. The emperor's body was like colored glass, without any male or female characteristics, and there were no lines on his skin. He didn't look like a human body at all.
When the Emperor's robe was in his hands, he did not feel the slightest weight, nor did he discover any mystery.
Zhou Mu was not discouraged. He took off the twelve-pearl and jade crown on the Emperor's head, and that was the end.

He jumped off the emperor's body, feeling somewhat regretful:

"The great Emperor of Heaven actually has no treasures, only this set of clothes."

Weighing the imperial robe and crown in his hand, Zhou Mu subconsciously wanted to put them on, but he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart and decisively gave up.

"almost."

He smiled, and two decrees appeared in his hands. One had the word "forge" written on it, and the other had the word "burn" written on it.
The porcelain doll and the Tianpeng piglet all retreated violently.

Zhou Mu also cautiously moved away from the corpse of the Emperor of Heaven, raised a decree, and ignited it fiercely with the fire of his spiritual thoughts!

The decree with the word "burn" written on it turned into ashes in the next moment.

‘Buzz! ! ’

A mysterious sound of Taoism was heard. It was the voice of Senior Yuanshi. It consisted of only one word: "burn".

At the same time, the green lamp hanging high above the Lingxiao Palace paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into brilliant light, with blazing colored glaze fire flowing out from the wick.

It's like a galaxy pouring down!

The entire throne and the emperor's corpse were drenched in candlelight. Zhou Mu and others standing nearby were unaware of the extreme heat.
But what was visible to the naked eye was that the corpse of the Emperor of Heaven and his throne were beginning to melt!
Not finished yet.

"go with!"

Zhou Mu thought about it and ignited the decree of [Forging]. The spiritual treasure sealed inside rang out, also a word [Forging].

The sound was loud and resounding throughout the Lingxiao Palace, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.

Zhou Mu looked around in surprise, and suddenly seemed to realize something. He turned back abruptly and looked outside the Lingxiao Palace, looking into the infinite distance.

There is a purple light in the sky.

"That's the direction of Jin'ao Island?" the porcelain doll exclaimed.

The purple light was like the sea, the space cracked, and a moment later, a small hammer emitting purple thunder smashed into the void!

"Innate Purple Thunder Hammer!"

Zhou Mu was startled and saw that the hammer seemed to be grasped by an invisible giant hand, raised high, and then slammed down towards the melting emperor's corpse and the emperor's throne!
The hammer collided with the emperor's corpse.

‘Boom! ! ’

It was like a loud thunder, booming in the ruins of heaven and resounding throughout the entire [Chaos Heaven].

Not just Chaos Day.

In the mortal world and the underworld, every passing moment and every future will be shaken by the thunder of golden swords!

The Shangqing purple thunder broke through the dome of Lingxiao Palace.

………………

The beginning of the ancient catastrophe.

"Ling! Bao!"

In the boundless heaven, the Emperor of Heaven, who was sitting on the throne, stood up in anger and shouted angrily - He could not see what was happening now,
But in the dim light, listening to the sound of thunder and golden swords, I also had a premonition!

The Emperor of Heaven was furious, and suddenly realized that the thunder of the golden spear had penetrated the years and even temporarily penetrated some of the seal of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Show a corner of the [Present Years]!

It was the Lingxiao Palace that he was very familiar with.

It was Nezha, the evil son of Li Jing, it was Marshal Tianpeng who returned to Lingshan, and it was the daring unknown person.

He stood up with a bang, staring at a corner of the scene in [Present Time], and suddenly understood - the purple thunder hammer was deliberately used to penetrate the Yuanshi Seal, so that he could see this scene.

The Emperor of Heaven knew what was going on instantly.

"Are you humiliating me?"

He watched coldly, looking at the virtual scene, and saw that the two people and the pig in the virtual scene left the Lingxiao Palace.

He saw his own body being slowly melted together with the Imperial Throne during the forging of the Purple Thunder Hammer.

The Emperor lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

for a long time.

He suddenly discovered his true form, without robe or crown.

All were stripped away.

He couldn't bear it anymore.

"presumptuous!"

The emperor was angry, stretched out his finger, and pointed down along the long river of time!

He even ignored his own imprisonment.

"Fellow Daoist Yuhuang, you have crossed the line."

A gentle voice sounded, and a middle-aged Taoist stepped on all the past years, with Yuxu Palace behind him and a large banner in his hand, an extremely sharp banner.

The Emperor of Heaven's face changed, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly tried to withdraw his finger, but it was too late, the flaw was already exposed!
The Emperor of Heaven wanted to fight back, but he felt something was wrong - after all these efforts, Lingbao had taken action, was he just trying to humiliate him?
impossible.

The Three Pure Ones must have other plans!
The Emperor of Heaven was thinking about this and that. He was trapped in the past. If it weren't for the protection of the High Heaven Palace, he would have been completely suppressed by Yuanshi.
But at this moment, he had already walked out of the Heavenly Palace!
Yuanshi’s plan is here!
But, the Heavenly Palace is his own natal property, there is absolutely no reason for Yuanshi to interfere with it?

The Emperor's face changed, he decisively gave up all resistance and suddenly retreated back to the Lingxiao Palace.

The banner was cut and fell.

The emperor lost his finger.

It wasn't just the Emperor's finger that was cut off. He was in such a hurry to go back that he didn't put up any resistance at all, and even a finger of his own soul was cut off!
The severed finger of the Emperor's true body floated on the long river of time, while a finger of his true spirit fell into the [present], into the Lingxiao Palace.

The middle-aged Taoist smiled:

"With my banner, I cut off one finger of the True Spirit. This finger cannot be restored."

"Fellow Daoist Yuhuang, it seems that I can only be Nine Fingers from now on."

The Emperor of Heaven returned to the past and sat in the Lingxiao Palace, staring at the middle-aged Taoist from afar.

He sneered:
"What a good plan! You used such humiliation to provoke me to leave the Heavenly Palace. But your plan ultimately failed - I just lost a finger, so what?"

A trace of hatred appeared on the face of the Emperor of Heaven:
"How could a great Yuanshi, a great Three Pure Ones, do such a despicable thing? Ha."

He felt lucky that he was decisive enough and the other party's plan was completely thwarted.

however.

"No."

The middle-aged Taoist said sincerely:
"This was not my plan. It was all the work of my friend. He has a simple mind and does not have so many complicated thoughts. In fact, he just wanted to disgust you, Taoist Jade Emperor, that's all."

After a while, the middle-aged Taoist said happily:

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Jade Emperor would be so careful and willing to sacrifice part of his true spirit. This is a pleasant surprise. This is not an external physical body that can be grown with a thought."

The smile on the Emperor's face became stiff, and then slowly disappeared.

The middle-aged Taoist said lightly:

"I also want to thank Fellow Daoist Jade Emperor on behalf of my little friend for bestowing such a strong spiritual origin, full of the Great Dao, and a hint of the status of the Heavenly Emperor, tut tut."

"Next year, my friend will be able to attain Daluo Dao with ease."

As he spoke, he bowed slightly toward the Emperor of Heaven, as if expressing his sincere gratitude.

The Emperor of Heaven said nothing, his face was gloomy, and his expression looked as if he had eaten a fly.
