The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 251 Rereading the Yellow Court Classic, the Supreme Mystery Heaven Emerges
A small world, the Dao Hai Palace.

Xuanming was completely unaware of the external conflicts.

He immersed himself in the Daoist canon and read it with great interest. To this day, unless it is written by a spiritual practitioner or a great master, he can read and comprehend a Daoist scripture in a single day.

The Tao is boundless, and time is immeasurable.

By the time he had read through nine thousand volumes of Daoist scriptures, he had already been in the Daohai Palace for half a year.

During that time, aside from his spiritual practice, he spent all his time reading scriptures, completely oblivious to the world around him.

On this day, Xuanming put down the scriptures in his hand and went upstairs to enter seclusion.

On the third floor, a special residence was arranged for him. The array was activated and restrictions were set up. Xuanming sat cross-legged, focused his mind and adjusted his state. Then his mind sank into the Xuan Pass.

The Yellow Court Jade Scripture appeared, and his primordial spirit entered it. He began to read it, and a magnificent Taoist sound rang out.

The essence of Tao is abundant, and the principles of Tao are intertwined.

In a daze, Xuanming saw a vast and desolate world, ancient and barren, without sun or moon, without mountains or rivers.

A white-haired giant stands between heaven and earth.

He lost all his white hair, which fell into the sky and transformed into countless stars, a dazzling array of nebulae.

He removed his eyes and embedded them with the starry sky; his left eye evolved into the sun, and his right eye into the moon.

He said, "Let there be light," and the sun and moon shone brightly, the stars shone brilliantly, the Milky Way surged, and the starry sky was magnificent.

His breath became wind, his exhalation became thunder, his limbs became mountains, his blood became rivers, his bones became minerals, his body hair became grass and trees, and the blood from his heart became all living things.

From then on, the world gained color, and creation permeated everywhere. He used himself as material to create something from nothing and illuminate creation.

The sun and moon revolve, and day and night alternate.

The world is full of life, and all things thrive and multiply. They are bathed in the blessings of the sun and moon and bloom into the most beautiful flowers.

Time flies like an arrow, and the cycle of sixty years has come full circle.

The era of time began in the world.

Everything leaves its mark in the long river of time, recording stories and unfolding tales.

Even as they grow old and die, the stories remain, passed down from generation to generation. Time leaves its mark, marking civilizations, measuring the passage of time, and providing a brief history of history.

The world changes constantly, with sunshine and rain unpredictable. The climate cannot always be like spring all year round, and no place can always have favorable weather.

When natural disasters struck, there were flash floods, tsunamis, torrential rains, severe droughts, and rampant plagues. All living beings had no experience at first, and the casualties were heavy.

Resentment gathers into a sea, cursing heaven and earth, saying that heaven is unkind and earth is unkind. People's hearts are treacherous, judging heaven's heart by their own and judging earth's evil by their own evil. Ghosts and demons run rampant, and monsters are rampant.

The world is desolate, and all spirits are cursed.

The world is full of divine wrath and human resentment.

---

The river of time flows ever onward.

All living beings stumbled and bled before the heavens and earth.

They understood that heaven and earth cannot be deceived, that the will of heaven is unpredictable, and that the earth possesses profound virtue.

Standing atop piles of white bones, all living beings gradually learn to adapt to their environment and understand that thunder and rain are both blessings.

The seasons change, and the environment becomes both good and bad.

As all living beings learn to be self-reliant, to have reverence for the heavens and gratitude for the earth, they begin to understand and respect the heavens and the earth.

Observe the timing of the weather and take advantage of the location.

Knowing the joys and sorrows of the sea, understanding the happiness and sadness of the mountains and rivers.

They began to record the solar terms, explore feng shui, and even modify feng shui. They began to learn from historical experiences and lessons, focus on the present, predict the future, make advance plans, and prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

In areas prone to flooding, dikes are built; in areas prone to drought, wells are dug; and in areas prone to sandstorms, large trees are planted.

Some creatures also learn to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strengthen themselves, forge a path, kill ferocious beasts, and subdue birds of prey.

Even before the evolution of heaven and earth, immortals were born, gods were nurtured, and the world became more prosperous. Countless small worlds were opened up, and countless supernatural powers blossomed. Dragons could be large or small, and phoenixes could be illusory or real. One roamed rivers and lakes, while the other stirred the nine heavens.

As endless years passed, the world evolved to its peak and then declined. The gods faced twilight, and the immortals began the five signs of decay.

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and natural and man-made disasters are rampant.

A large number of living beings perished, returned to the heavens and earth, returned to their origin, and transformed into pure energy.

Everything vanished, mountains collapsed, lakes and seas dried up, vegetation withered, minerals were depleted, and the sun, moon, and stars perished.

All things are born from heaven and earth, and return to heaven and earth.

Ultimately, heaven and earth were destroyed, and everything returned to one.

Xuanming saw the white-haired giant again. The giant opened his eyes and seemed to be looking at Xuanming across endless time and space, nodding and smiling.

Xuanming was inexplicably terrified.

All because the old man was actually himself.

Xuanming was pleasantly surprised.

All this was because he had gained a profound and mysterious insight. The giant elder withdrew his gaze.

He recreated the world and re-evolved all things.

This new world is higher and wider than the previous ones, and smaller worlds have been created alongside it from the very beginning.

The old man repeated his previous actions, evolving all things and creating the heavens. The light of the sun and moon enveloped all realms, the vitality of plants and trees continued uninterrupted, and all spirits reproduced and thrived once again.

This time, all spirits are stronger than before, with more robust bodies, longer lifespans, and more intelligent minds.

In the past, among all living beings, humans were revered.

Today, all things exist in harmony, with the three realms coexisting.

The gods were born earlier and rule over the heavens.

The Earth Deity is born more quickly and takes control of the earth.

Humans dwell in the middle and govern all spirits.

The world is evolving in a more orderly manner.

The evolution of heaven and earth is endless.

After endless ages, the world was destroyed once again.

The white-haired old man reappeared, this time taller and with a heavier aura, causing the chaotic energy to detour.

The old man smiled at Xuanming again and began to recreate the world.

Xuanming had many insights.

Heaven and earth were created and destroyed, destroyed and created again.

Over and over again, the cycle continues.

Heaven and earth are becoming more and more perfect, the world is becoming more and more stable, the laws are becoming more and more complete, and the Great Way is becoming more and more expansive.

Finally, the heavens and earth revealed their truth, and the sun and moon shone brightly.

The world can never be erased; it will become eternal.

The sky has thirty-six heavens, the earth has seventy-two abysses, and in between are one hundred and eight continents.

All beings are equal in status, all races are protagonists, and all creatures compete freely under the frosty sky.

---

Eternal heaven and earth, shimmering with light.

The world did not perish this time, but the white-haired old man appeared. He existed with heaven and earth and was eternal.

Eternal and indestructible, the Great Dao bestows upon one.

Words are law, rules protect us.

The old man smiled at Xuanming again.

Xuanming had lost count of how many times.

Whether he saw it or not, he would just smile.

At that moment, Xuanming understood.

The old man of today is him in the future.

The old man of the past is him of the past.

The past cannot be retrieved, and the future is unpredictable; we should seize the present.

Past, present, and future intertwine.

Inside the quiet room, Xuanming was surrounded by a mysterious aura.

The Primordial Dao Domain expanded by thousands of feet, and the Dao Tree, which had been growing for nine thousand feet, grew wildly, eventually reaching ten thousand feet.

The Three Thousand Mile Taiji Sky expanded again, by another hundred miles, until it reached a total of three thousand three hundred and thirty-three miles.

Inside the Dao Palace, the Supreme Daoist opened his eyes, and a Taiji symbol appeared behind him. His aura gradually became profound, and a law swirled around him. He raised his hand and summoned the Taiji diagram. The Taiji diagram merged with the Taiji Heaven, and the potential of the magic weapon increased.

The thirty-six meridians within the body expand and surge with magical power, while the three hundred and sixty secondary star-shaped acupoints are as vast as the sea.

One by one, the star gods gathered, shining brightly.

The microcosm of the human body was thus perfected.

Within the entrance hall, the primordial spirit, now even more clear and pure, without impurity, transformed the "Yellow Court Jade Scripture" into a stream of light, which fell into the middle dantian.

The Dao seed that once grew in the middle dantian was excited and merged with the "Yellow Court Jade Scripture". All the energy surged and the innate primordial energy evolved into chaos. Chaos gave birth to primordial chaos and the divine thought of the profound and bright Dao entered the Dao seed.

With the help of the "Huangting Zhongjing Yujing", the Dao seed took root in the chaos and grew wildly. In an instant, it became lush and leafy, with a phantom image of heaven and earth on the tree, which then quickly vanished.

Seeds are born and die; trees grow and trees wither.

After nine cycles, the universe transformed from emptiness into reality and gradually stabilized, giving birth to a new world in the middle dantian.

Its name is: Tai Xuan.
