Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 192 [Fate is Inescapable, Taiqing Resolves the Mystery] (Bonus Chapter for 1000 Monthly Tickets)

"Days?"

Xuan Yin stood there stunned. He had heard a lot about the general trend of the Heavenly Dao and the destiny of Heaven when the Tongtian Sect Leader was preaching.

If we break it down further, the number of days can be divided into fixed numbers and variable numbers. If we further break it down, we can divide it into destiny, fate, and calamity.

Taiqing Laozi continued, "As you know, Tongtian Jietian sought to seize a glimmer of hope for all living beings in the Primordial Realm, and he represents the variable! Yuanshi, on the other hand, observed the Way of Heaven, acted according to the will of Heaven, and sought to control and use the mandate of Heaven, replacing Heaven with himself, and he represents the fixed destiny!"

"The Heavenly Dao governs the order of the primordial world and the fate of all living beings. In the primordial true world, whether it is a living being or a divine mountain ancestral vein or a blessed land that has not yet awakened its intelligence, it contains what is called destiny and fate!"

"When a living being's fate is exhausted, that is when that living being perishes; when a lineage's fate is exhausted, that is when the lineage is destroyed!"

"As for fate..."

"Some people are born blessed with good fortune, some are born with a hundred diseases, and some people desperately resist their fate, but little do they know that sometimes, defying the heavens... is also part of the way of heaven!"

"Following the natural order makes one mortal, defying it makes one immortal; it's all about going in the middle, reversing one's fate. Isn't this just a script written by the Way of Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin seemed to understand something. He had previously heard a saying that countless cycles of reincarnation were simply the constant arrangement and combination of the Great Dao.

All living beings have their own destiny. Favorable circumstances are destiny, and unfavorable circumstances are also destiny. No matter what choices we make, they are all within the options prepared in advance by the Great Dao!
If you make the right choice, you might be able to outmaneuver fate, but everything has its own destiny, not just the destiny of heaven, but the so-called destiny of the Great Dao!

Even Pangu, through countless cycles of creation and reincarnation, never escaped the net woven by the Great Dao.

"What about the calamity?"

Xuan Yin immediately took the initiative to ask.

Taiqing Laozi laughed and said, "As a disciple of the Jie Sect, do you still need to ask me this question? The beings of the Primordial True Realm have their own tribulations, as do the heavens and earth. Humans are born, grow old, get sick and die, the moon waxes and wanes, and the world is formed, exists, decays and empties... Being born into this world is the greatest tribulation! That's why that fellow Tongtian thought of cutting off a sliver of life for all beings!"

"Of course, that guy Yuanshi also studied calamities! However, he failed! The test subjects were thrown into the North Sea eye to fill the hole!"

Among the five celestial numbers, the most obvious are undoubtedly the fixed number and the variable number, which are also what Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu pursued.

As for destiny and fate, they are all related to all living beings. Xuan Yin does not know which Heavenly Saint is responsible for bearing these two great destinies!
As for the calamity...

He couldn't help but think of Rahu!

Although Yuanshi Tianzun experimented on Shen Gongbao, how could a mere Shen Gongbao compare to Rahu, the Demon Ancestor?

"Could it be that Rahu used me as a substitute for emptiness, and then the old and sturdy Dao Ancestor Hongjun directly used Rahu as a substitute for emptiness?"

For the Primordial True Realm, Rahu, who was single-mindedly focused on reversing the Primordial Realm and proving his intention to destroy the demonic path, was undoubtedly the greatest calamity.

While the Supreme Saint occasionally interferes with the grand scheme of things in the primordial world, he rarely gets involved in cause and effect, seemingly deliberately avoiding the Five Great Numbers.

He had long since noticed the Dao Ancestor's scheme.

For him, fixed fate is acceptable, and so is variable fate. As long as he doesn't get too tainted by karma in the Primordial True World, it's unlikely that destiny, fate, or calamity will find him.

"wrong!"

Xuan Yin couldn't help but think of a serious matter: if Rahu was practicing the method of subtraction to seek emptiness, wouldn't that calamity fall on his head?

If he inherits the Dao Fruit of Rahu, then he will inherit double the karma.

When he tries to reduce the emptiness, it will be even more difficult, as he will have to shift the cause and effect between two entities.

"I knew it! How could Luo Hou, as the Demon Ancestor, be so kind?"

Xuan Yin suddenly realized: "So they were using me to fill the hole. If I inherit his Dao Fruit, I will also inherit the tribulation of Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"

Of course, with Laozi in front of him, he only dared to think about these things in his heart and dared not reveal his true thoughts at all.

Taiqing Laozi continued, "Those two in the West have devoted themselves to the great prosperity of the West. For twenty epochs, nothing has changed. This is their destiny. If I am not mistaken, they should inherit the destiny of the Five Great Destinies!"

"As for the old Taoist, he is the leader of the Xuanmen sect and may inherit the karma of the immortal path!"

"As for Haotian and Yaochi, they were ordered by their teacher to establish the Heavenly Court and gather the fortune of all living beings. They will most likely inherit the destiny of the five great celestial numbers!"

Taiqing Laozi did not want to get involved in karma, but as the senior disciple of Xuanmen, some things were already destined for him from the moment he became a disciple of Hongjun!
Not to mention, he is also the ancestor of the celestial immortals, and has a karmic connection with the future human immortal system. Some things are destined to be unavoidable.

And Nuwa!

Although Laozi didn't say it, what Nuwa inherited was mostly the karma left over from when she was the Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the Chaos Demon God.

As for the cause and effect of the Primordial Divine Path, Xuan Yin had not thought of it for the time being. Nuwa had previously collected a lot of authority belonging to the Primordial Divine Path, and Yuanshi Tianzun had been pursuing the source of immortal and divine laws.

Both of them are possibilities!
Of course, Dao Ancestor Hongjun is unfathomable, and it is possible that he is unaware of his existence!
"and many more!"

Xuan Yin's keen mind worked at lightning speed, and he suddenly spoke up: "Senior Uncle! In those twenty reincarnations, you chose to support Second Uncle, and even in some timelines, within the Daoist system, you were willing to give up your position as the head of the Three Pure Ones and advance and retreat with him. Could it be that you wanted him to achieve the source of immortality and then take over the overwhelming karma belonging to the immortal path?"

Taiqing Laozi's expression remained unchanged, but the atmosphere instantly became tense: "Sometimes, being too smart isn't a good thing!"

Xuan Yin immediately fell silent.

Although he knew that the relationships between the saints were very complicated, he never imagined that Taiqing Laozi had supported Yuanshi Tianzun and had the idea of ​​shifting the cause and effect of the immortal path during those twenty reincarnations.

What a trap!
Of course, he only dared to grumble in his heart; since it concerned a sage, he dared not speak it aloud, much less spread it around. "Alright!"

Taiqing Laozi suddenly said coldly, "If that's all you wanted to say, then I understand! But since you sent the Golden-Winged Roc, you have to find a way to help him break through to the Great Luo realm!"

"otherwise……"

"I can guarantee that even if you achieve a higher level of Dao, you will still not be able to wield the power of Yin and Yang!"

He still hoped that more talented people would emerge from the Human Sect, but although the Golden-Winged Roc's aptitude could surpass most innate beings, its personality was indeed not in line with the Human Sect's Dao of non-action.

Therefore, he thought that he should first use the Yin and Yang energies to obtain Yin and Yang authority, and see if he could first attain the Heavenly Yi Dao Fruit of the Divine Path.
And now...

Since Xuan Yin wants to expand his power, he can use Buzhou Mountain as the center and combine the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches to sort out the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements of the Primordial True Realm, which would save him a lot of planning effort!

Moving Xuan Yin to Shouyang Mountain was merely a way to give him a warning!
To prevent it from becoming restless!

So far, there have been enough variables in the Primordial True Realm. If Xuan Yin causes any more trouble, he really won't be able to see the future trend!
Xuan Yin nodded repeatedly.

Arranging for the Golden-Winged Roc is not a problem. His Dao Fruit has now been expanded to include authority over the Yin-Yang Dao and the Five Elements Dao. Adding two more auxiliary gods to manage the Yin-Yang and Five Elements of the Primordial True Realm is just a matter of lifting a finger and creating two more positions.

As for the candidates...

The Golden-Winged Roc is in charge of Yin and Yang, and Kong Xuan is in charge of the Five Elements, which is a perfect match!
However, since he had come to Shouyang Mountain, Xuan Yin boldly asked, "I wonder what price you, my senior uncle, would have to pay for your purple-gold gourd so that you would be willing to part with it?"

As a sage of the Heavenly Dao, Taiqing Laozi's attainments in the Dao of Cause and Effect may not be as great as those of Yuanshi Tianzun, who symbolizes the cause of all effects, but he is still unparalleled in the primordial world. In addition, his deep karmic connection with the Great God Pangu means that he has probably already realized the karmic connection that the Great God Pangu personally set for Xuan Yin and the seven innate gourds!

Therefore, Xuan Yin did not beat around the bush, but asked him directly about the price!
"You want the old, purple-gold-red gourd?"

Taiqing Laozi immediately revealed a playful smile: "That is the treasure of this old Daoist Shengdan! It cannot be obtained with ordinary price! Not to mention, you also instigated that fellow Tongtian to use the karma of Pangu to divide this old Daoist's Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda!"

"Oh!"

"And the Vajra Bracelet!"

"The merit of converting barbarians to Buddhism should have been attributed to the old Taoist, but you instigated Tongtian to intercept the barbarians and even passed on the restrictions on the Vajra Bracelet to Tongtian!"

"You owe this old Taoist so much karma, and you still want this old Taoist's Purple Gold Red Gourd?"

"You've got quite the nerve!"

Although he didn't care much about external things, he suffered a lot of losses because he initially underestimated Xuan Yin's bottom line.

If the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda had not split apart and fallen from its position as a supreme acquired treasure, Nuwa would not have been able to so easily annihilate the core Taiqing Daoist and break his One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones divine power.

But now, Xuan Yin stood before him, showing no sign of unease, and brazenly inquired about the conditions for obtaining the Purple-Gold Red Gourd...

Even with his calm and unperturbed mind, he still wanted to ask Xuan Yin a question...

Where's your face?

However, the sage's moral character and self-cultivation prevented him from doing so.

Xuan Yin was shrouded in the Luo Tian Qing Cloud, making it impossible for him to see through him. However, as a sage, he could glimpse the future trends of the prehistoric world.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, "I can give you the Purple Gold Red Gourd, but you must agree to owe this old Taoist three karmic debts!"

He then added, "Of course, these three causes and effects will not affect the Jie Sect! Nor will they affect your own path of cultivation!"

"If the conditions I propose conflict with the Jie Sect or your path of cultivation, you are free to refuse my requests!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin was startled, and his face turned somewhat grim: "Senior Uncle, aren't three causes and effects a bit too many?"

"Those four?"

Taiqing Laozi showed no intention of backing down.

"That's too much!"

"Five!"

Seeing that Taiqing Laozi was still raising the price, Xuan Yin quickly said, "Three it is fine. I, Xuan Yin, swear to the Heavenly Dao today that I am willing to exchange three karmas for Taiqing Saint's Purple Gold Red Gourd!"

As long as it doesn't involve the Jie Sect or his own path of cultivation, Xuan Yin is willing to pay some price for the Purple Gold Red Gourd.

When Taiqing Laozi saw that Xuan Yin had made a vow to Heaven, he did not hesitate and directly erased all the marks on the purple-gold gourd.

And it was handed over to Xuan Yin.

Xuan Yin took the purple-gold gourd, but before he could even rejoice, he heard Taiqing Laozi say, "Now let's hear what this old Taoist has to say!"

"So fast?"

Xuan Yin was taken aback upon hearing this: "I wonder what my senior uncle wants me to do?"
