Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 274 A man's heart is as firm as iron until death; let's see if he can mend the crack in the sky!
"And who are you?" the young man in black asked coldly.

The white-haired, brown-clad youth sneered:
"Didn't you intend to exterminate everyone related to the Jade Emperor? Why are you so ignorant?"

A hook-nosed monster whispered a warning to the young man in black:
"White hair and brown clothes, this is Liu Chenxiang, who split the mountain to save his mother more than a thousand years ago."

"So it was you. Back then, you split Mount Hua open, allowing the new Heavenly Laws to be born. You should be the one who understands the meaning of loyalty and righteousness the most. Why are you helping the Heavenly Court today?"

Zhuang Buran chuckled softly, glancing sideways at Yang Jian:

"Uncle, how have you been all these years? This is the Heavenly Rules and Regulations you've always longed for, yet now they're causing all living beings in the Three Realms to suffer endlessly."

His tone was melodious:
"If I remember correctly, you said something like this to Jade Cauldron Immortal: 'What the Three Realms need is love, not indifference; they need affection, not indifference; they need reunion, not division. Only an order centered on love can bring harmony to all things, and that is the Great Way.'"

The white-haired, brown-clad boy wore a helpless expression.

"How come your current Heavenly Laws of Compassion are constantly creating beings in the Three Realms that are even more unruly than demons and monsters?"

"In your early years, you organized the new Heavenly Laws and handled various affairs. In recent years, you have been busy putting out fires everywhere, dealing with one audacious troublemaker after another, and also fighting openly and secretly with the gods in the Heavenly Court who are gradually forming cliques."

"Tsk tsk, your marriage to the fairy Chang'e has been delayed again and again."

Yang Jian frowned slightly:

"Chenxiang, now is not the time to talk about this. The important thing is to resolve the crisis in the Heavenly Court as soon as possible."

The white-haired boy in brown smiled gently:
"Battle Buddha, do you think the old Heavenly Laws are better, or the new Heavenly Laws?"

Sun Wukong, with his hairy face and thunderous mouth, was taken aback at first, then waved his hand:
"Whether or not the Heavenly Laws are changed is the Heavenly Court's business, and it has nothing to do with me, Old Sun. However, since the new Heavenly Laws were introduced, even though I, Old Sun, live deep in Mount Emei, I can feel that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is becoming more and more turbid every day."

"I also perceive that the troubles and suffering in the world are becoming more intense, filled with five kinds of turbidity and impurity, namely the turbidity of the age, the turbidity of views, the turbidity of afflictions, the turbidity of sentient beings, and the turbidity of life."

"All I know is that if the Heavenly Court continues to govern the Three Realms with the new Heavenly Laws, then one day it will usher in a world of five turbidities and evils."

Pigsy, standing to the side, couldn't help but chime in:
"That's right. In my opinion, why does your Heavenly Court keep changing the Heavenly Laws? The Heavenly Court is now neither god nor immortal. It's just like the secular court, full of backstabbing and deceit. Where is the image of a fair and just god?"

"Furthermore, what was wrong with the old Heavenly Laws? They were just..."

As he said this, he glanced at the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother:
“Some people abuse the Heavenly Laws, thinking that the majesty of the Heavenly Court is greater than anything else, and thus completely disregard the sentient beings of the Three Realms.”

"It seems that Liu Chenxiang's appearance has given you enough confidence to ignore me like this."

The black-clad youth exuded a powerful aura, and a surging killing intent quickly filled the Jade Pool.

His eyes were cold and sharp, like ice that had never melted.
"I'd like to see for myself what it was like to do all by myself back then."

Before the young man in black could finish speaking, his body stiffened, and a dazzling axe light vanished in an instant.

Then a white-haired, brown-clad youth, holding a divine axe, calmly said:
"Noisy!"

Instantly, not only was the black-clad youth annihilated, but the thousands of demons behind him also vanished into thin air before they could even scream.

Zhuang Buran turned around, her gaze falling on Yang Jian:

"I dislike giving advice the most, because no one's advice will make people realize the truth. The only things that can truly awaken people from their dreams and make them see through the ways of the world are experience, regret, and being hurt."

"This is the principle that if people can't teach each other, then practice will teach them, and it will be done in one go."

"After all, what can convince a person is never reason, but a dead end; what can awaken a person is never preaching, but hardship."

"I know my uncle has suffered a lot in his life, and I realize that only with love and affection can we create a harmonious world. But I don't know that great love is no love. If we only focus on personal feelings and love, we will fall into a lower category."

The Third Holy Mother had a bad feeling and quickly spoke:
"Agarwood, what do you want to do?"

The white-haired boy in brown clothes smiled.

"This world of five evils was created by me, and it should be ended by my hand."

With a flick of his divine axe, a flash of light appeared on the axe tip, and seven or eight out of ten immortals in the Jade Pool were annihilated.

"Chenxiang, you..." The Jade Emperor had just begun to speak when he was interrupted by the white-haired, brown-robed youth:

"Human desires are like rolling stones from a high mountain; once they start, they can never be stopped. The desires of immortals, who have been suppressed for a long time, are a thousand times greater than those of mortals."

"Today, I, Liu Chenxiang, will atone for the wrongdoings I have committed."

He suddenly leaped up, his body transforming into a golden light, and flew to the Thirty-Third Heaven.

In an instant, axe light rose up everywhere, falling towards the three realms and ten directions, annihilating countless divine sons and grandsons.

Immediately afterwards, a calm and soothing sound resounded throughout the three realms:

"The way of Heaven is cyclical, and good and evil are rewarded accordingly. Now that the common people are about to die, the Yellow Heaven shall rise."

"From then on, Liu Chenxiang merged with the creation of heaven and earth, controlled the qi of heaven, followed the way of heaven, and established the world of Huangtian through the transformation of the Dao."

Above the thirty-third heaven, Zhuang Buran's robes fluttered in the wind as he suddenly cleaved his axe into the void. A brilliant axe light leaped forth, tearing through the void with the force to sever all shackles, cause and effect, and destiny.

"Boom!"

Instantly, the three realms trembled, manifesting a magnificent phenomenon of the heavens weeping blood.

At this time, Yang Jian, the Third Holy Mother, Xiao Yu, Sun Wukong, and others had all arrived at the Thirty-Third Heaven. They heard the words that were spreading throughout the Three Realms, and they knew exactly what someone was planning to do.

“Chenxiang, it was Uncle’s fault. I should make up for everything.”

Yang Jian was about to step forward to stop him, but the white-haired, brown-clad youth was able to manipulate the power of the laws of heaven and earth with every move he made, as if he had completely merged with the Three Realms.

Thus, with just a sidelong glance, Yang Jian was imprisoned by the palm force that was at will and impossible to find, and the others were also forcibly controlled in place by the force that was sometimes hard and sometimes soft, sometimes divided and sometimes suppressed, sometimes broken and sometimes destroyed.

“Uncle, if you made a mistake, you made a mistake. I hope you will not get stuck in the obsession of ‘what if’ in the future. As the saying goes, all things return to their roots. Your perspective and state of mind at that time were simply the natural flow of fate.”

"Just like the Tao follows nature, even if you were to do it all over again, you would still follow your heart and walk down the same path."

The white-haired, brown-clad youth chuckled softly:
"A strong wind does not last all morning, nor does a sudden rain last all day. The future is long, and we should know that even heaven and earth cannot last forever, let alone man."

Having said that, he shouted:
“Most practitioners in the Three Realms do not think about the Way, do not cultivate their mind and nature, but are fond of fighting for power and profit, disregarding all living beings and neglecting the Three Realms.”

"Now we establish the three calamities and eight difficulties to rectify the clarity of heaven and earth and to show that spiritual practice is not easy."

"From this day forward, from the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother down to the spirits of plants and trees, the Heavenly Way will be impartial and just. If anyone commits a sin, they will all be punished by Heaven with lightning."

A thunderous roar echoed from the depths of the void, manifesting an endless sea of ​​lightning. All cultivators felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, and lightning suddenly flashed above the heads of many sinful demons and monsters.

Almost instantly, they were all struck by lightning and their souls were scattered, turning into dust.

After the white-haired, brown-clad youth committed the calamity, his figure became much weaker, as if he might perish at any moment.

The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms was in tears:
“Chenxiang, stop now. All the mistakes are your mother’s fault. I should have stopped you from splitting Mount Hua. That way, the new Heavenly Laws wouldn’t have been born, and the Three Realms wouldn’t be in this state today.”

She seemed to have figured everything out, and sobbed uncontrollably as she said:

"All these years you've stayed on Mount Hua with your mother, didn't you foresee all of this? Why did you choose to bear it all alone?"

"How can you blame your mother? After I cultivated myself into an immortal, I realized the mission I was entrusted with. I should bring forth new heavenly laws so that all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens would understand that governing the three realms requires a heart of great love and ruthlessness."

"It is my destiny to restore the Three Realms to the right path. However, since the son of the gods has brought chaos to the Three Realms, it is time for the son of the gods to end this chaotic world."

Yang Jian's eyes were bloodshot:

“Chenxiang, it is your uncle who is stubbornly deluded. You are clearly dying in my place. Stop it immediately and let me bring the Three Realms back on track.”

"A man's heart remains as firm as iron until death. Let's see if I can mend the crack in the sky!" the white-haired, brown-clad youth said leisurely.

“In the past, you were willing to sacrifice yourself to introduce a new set of heavenly laws that would benefit the three realms. Why should I sacrifice myself today?”

He looked up into the void:
“Uncle, don’t be a god anymore. Become an enviable couple with Aunt Chang’e. That’s the life you’ve always wanted. Go back to Guanjiangkou.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian couldn't help but shed tears. He thought that his nephew must have long been determined to die, which was why he closed his heart, all for the sake of passing away today, so as to fulfill the wishes of these people and reverse the decline of heaven and earth.

"Chenxiang, I don't want you to die!" Xiaoyu cried.

"Xiaoyu, don't forget what I told you before." Zhuang Buran lowered his gaze and said:

"Life is full of divergent paths, you went to Hunan and I went to Qin. From now on, the world will be much wider, but I will not meet you again, whether I go north or south."

In an instant, the white-haired, brown-clad youth shone brightly:

"I will go with the breeze and the clouds, and return when the fog dissipates. I will surely annihilate the evil ones, just as the spring breeze blows and the clouds disperse. Virtue is like the clouds, and my plans are always in place. The winding road reveals my virtue even more."

"Haha, each strives in their own way, though separated by a thousand miles, they share the same wind; the fragrance of agarwood has departed!"

"Chenxiang!"

The moment the white-haired, brown-clad youth vanished, everyone was no longer restrained and rushed towards his location without prior arrangement. Some even tried to grab him, but it was all in vain; only some mist passed through their palms.

Immediately, even Sun Wukong and the others, who had never interacted with the white-haired, brown-clad youth, couldn't help but show a look of emotion in their eyes, while Yang Jian and the others were even more grief-stricken.

Inside the Golden Cloud Cave of Jade Spring Mountain, Jade Cauldron Immortal stared blankly into the void, suddenly bursting into curses. But as he cursed, his nose stung with tears, and he began to regret giving Yang Jian the words "endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens." He blamed himself for not seeing through the fact that the Heavenly Law of Sentiment would only bring greater disaster to all living beings in the Three Realms.

This led to the white-haired, brown-clad youth who, though not formally a master and disciple, actually had the relationship, and thus the Daoist immortalized himself.

"What kind of famous teacher is Yu Ding? You are truly misleading students!"

Master Yuding slapped his forehead a few times with his fan, sighed, turned and walked into the Golden Cloud Cave, closing the stone door behind him.
