Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 230 The world is without morality, disasters arise from four directions, the Azure Dragon ascends, the six calamities are eradicated, how wonderful!

Zhuang Buran spread his arms, and the manifested Dharma form emanated a powerful aura, instantly causing a great storm and thunder, which forcefully created a tall and wide portal.

Then, a large amount of dazzling golden light poured out from the gate, enveloping the entire city of Wudi.

The young man in gray linen clothes spoke softly and slowly, his voice spreading far and wide.

"In today's world, powerful families and clans vie for power and profit, exploiting the common people, while people from all walks of life treat the masses as their children, pursuing their grand ambitions."

"I, Zhuang, am not talented, but I am willing to be the first in the world to create the Dragon Way, which follows the trend of all things and achieves the state of complete humanity."

"May the three great truths of the true dragon's wondrous way—following the will of Heaven, knowing one's lot, and having no desires—be widely spread among humankind."

As the gray-clad boy spoke, thunder suddenly roared, and Wang Xianzhi and the others were involuntarily blasted into the air by an immense and unparalleled aura.

"What does it mean to follow the will of Heaven? It means to act in accordance with the principles of Heaven. Buddhism teaches vegetarianism and abstaining from killing. But how can tigers and leopards live on grass and trees? And how can cattle and sheep be closer to the Buddhist path?"

"This is because it is the way of Heaven, the natural order."

"Born to serve humans, cattle, sheep, dogs, and horses are used by humans. Humans may become food for tigers and leopards, or return to dust, nourishing plants and trees, which in turn are eaten by cattle and sheep, thus forming a cycle. This is the way of nature. If one follows the way of nature in all things, one will not be abandoned by heaven."

With a deafening roar, a bolt of lightning as thick as a mountain struck down.

In the critical moment, Wang Xianzhi and the others felt isolated from the world, unable to resonate with heaven and earth, and unable to harness the power of heaven and earth, instinctively using all their strength to resist.

Sword energy, fist energy, and sword formations surged forth to resist the mountain thunder.

"Boom!"

Confucian scholars like Huang Longshi and Zhang Fuyao were the most restricted, and were instantly struck by lightning, their bodies and souls annihilated.

From the depths of the heavens, the gentle voice of the boy in gray linen robes resonated throughout the earth:

"The so-called 'knowing one's place' means knowing the role one plays in destiny. Whatever Heaven asks you to do, you do it. Scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants all live in their respective positions and benefit from each other. Thus, the way of Heaven continues to operate. There is no noble or lowly position, no superior or inferior person, and everyone lives in peace and coexistence."

"Everyone has their own talents and destiny. As long as you don't harm others and can find peace and happiness, that is your destiny. Even a farmer or a craftsman has their own destiny."

"Humans eat livestock and poultry, which is a cycle of mutual nourishment among all things. The rule should be to avoid excess and abhorrence."

"Boom!"

Seven or eight bolts of lightning as thick as mountains suddenly struck down, and the sword masters, including Wu Jian, the patriarch of the Wu family's Sword Tomb, and Song Nianqing, the sect leader of the Dongyue Sword Pool, disintegrated and vanished into nothingness.

"Find your own destiny, be content with the status quo, and find joy in the ordinary life. Because pursuit is attachment, and attachment leads to suffering. In this world, power, fame, fortune, and love are merely embellishments to life, bringing you happiness."

"Often, those who possess power, fame, fortune, and love cannot be happy. When they have something, they fear losing it. Only happiness that comes from the heart is true happiness. This is what it means to be without desire!"

Zhuang Buran's eyes flickered:
"In this world, there are many who claim to be without desires, yet one or two of them hold high positions of power. They say one thing and do another, which is utterly disgusting."

After saying this, the thunderbolts, as thick as mountains, continued to fall, turning the sky into a sea of ​​lightning. Those who fought desperately to resist were ultimately reduced to ashes.

With a thought, a nine-palace eight-trigram array appeared beneath the feet of the people on the ground.

"The balance of Yin and Yang in the world has been disrupted. Those who boasted and blocked our way are dead. Now, let me, Zhuang, send you all to ascend to immortality!"

At this point, all sorts of people from different walks of life who wanted to ascend to immortality knew that there was a trap involved. Countless people fought back with all their might, and quite a few even cried out for mercy.

"Hahaha, immortality is right before your eyes, don't act like a child."

After the gray-clad boy finished speaking, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation, carrying hundreds of thousands of martial arts elites, soared into the sky and entered the portal beneath the heavens.

Hundreds of thousands of martial arts practitioners entered the gate and immediately felt an abundance of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, mixed with a strange power that flowed into their bodies from the heavens. They were invigorated and felt completely refreshed, as if they had been reborn.

Then, a magnificent palace, shrouded in ethereal mist and radiant with light, came into view.

"What a ruthless villain! I have been waiting here for quite some time."

A man dressed in a dragon robe, whose face resembled Xu Fengnian's, appeared out of thin air and looked at the gray-clad boy who was walking out of the door unhurriedly:
"Zhuang Buran, I knew you wouldn't linger in the mortal realm for long." The gray-robed, linen-clad youth said, one hand behind his back and the other in front of him.
"Wang Xianzhi is the reincarnation of the White Emperor, Chen Zhibao is the reincarnation of the Green Emperor, and there should also be the Red Emperor and the Yellow Emperor in the Heavenly Realm, as well as many people who have ascended to immortality."

"Come out, all of you. You covet the fortune of the mortal world, and I, Zhuang, covet the fortune of the heavens as well, and wish to seize all the creations of the heavens to further enhance my cultivation."

In an instant, a large number of celestial lights flew out from the celestial palace, among which four of the most dazzling lights landed beside Zhenwu, which were the other four emperors of the celestial realm.

"Sigh, I really don't know how you people can talk about immortals and gods. After descending to the mortal world, a phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken. When you were in the heavenly realm, you were only at the level of longevity on land. No wonder you value the fortune of the mortal world so much."

Zhuang Buran hovered above the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams diagram. With a tremor of his feet, the formation below began to rotate.

"You all claim to be celestial beings, but I happen to know a sword technique called Immortal Slayer!"

In an instant, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams diagram surged with energy, causing hundreds of thousands of martial artists to freeze and disintegrate into countless tiny sword energies.

Zhuang Buran formed a sword incantation with his hands, and his aura surged and roared, suddenly transforming into a giant sword that could support the sky above his head.

"With the Immortal Slayer Sword as its foundation and the Heavenly Sword as its body, activate the Immortal Slayer Sword Formation!"

Upon seeing this, the five Zhenwu members' brows twitched, and without any hesitation, they immediately ordered their subordinates to take action.

Instantly, a vast expanse of celestial energy surged forth outside the celestial palace, surging towards the gray-clad, hemp-robed youth with overwhelming force.

The colossal sword, shimmering with iridescent light and flashing rainbows, unleashed countless illusory yet real sword energies. Like thunder and lightning, endless sword energy descended from the sky, and the vast immortal energy vanished into nothingness almost instantly.

The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams diagram operated even more intensely, suddenly transforming into a long dragon of sword energy that poured into the towering giant sword.

The colossal sword then split into smaller, single-colored energy swords, which quickly spread densely across the sky above this immortal realm.

Just as Zhenwu and the others were about to make their move, a myriad of phenomena and boundless sword energy surged forth, with sword beams raining down like locusts, densely covering the place where the Immortal Palace stood.

"Boom!"

Amidst the swirling clouds and ethereal mist, the once-glorious celestial palace was reduced to dust, and countless immortals were turned to ashes by the ferocious power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Before long, the light of blades, sword energy, fist energy, and spear light intensified, and four figures attacked the gray-clad boy in the center from both sides.

With a clang, the invisible protective shield of the Zhuxian Sword Formation flashed, freezing Zhenwu, Huangdi, Baidi, and Qingdi in place.

Then another halberd struck the head of the gray-clad boy with overwhelming force.

"Knowing that I have the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation protecting me, you still wanted to engage in close combat. Your stupidity leaves me speechless."

The colossal sword suddenly unleashed a beam of scorching white light, radiating a magnificent power that could rip stars apart and tear the heavens apart.

Thunder roared across the sky, and a blinding white light swept across this celestial realm.

"Boom!"

Hearing a loud bang in the sky, many people couldn't help but look up, their expressions immediately filled with astonishment and fear.

In various places, some people shouted that the sky had cracked and fled in panic, while countless others knelt down and kowtowed, begging God for mercy.

Suddenly, a blazing white light flashed by, and a loud bang inexplicably came from the location of Liyang and the Northern Mang imperial city. The emperors of both countries spat out a mouthful of blood at the same time.

"From this point on, the immortals in the heavens have fallen, the fortunes of the mortal world have dissipated, and all living beings have the opportunity to devour two kingdoms and destroy the feudal lords, to ascend to the supreme position and control the six directions, and to wield the whip and lash the world. This is the true and wondrous way of the dragon!"

"When the world falls into chaos due to the ruler's lack of virtue, disasters occur frequently in all directions. Then, a capable person will appear and turn the tide, quell the six types of disasters, restore order, and no longer be disturbed by immortals or fate."

A burst of laughter and clapping echoed from the depths of the sky:

"Hahaha, this is what is meant by the world being without morality, calamities arising from all four directions, the Azure Dragon ascending to heaven, and the six calamities being eradicated. How delightful!"
