Chapter 46 The Supreme Treasure Locks Heavenly Secrets, Understanding the Heavenly Dao, Testing the Heavenly Dao

Looking especially at the tormented Ancestral Dragon and Phoenix Ancestor, he sighed, "Karma and cause and effect are so terrifying. What brings those two fellow Daoists to me?"

"I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Di Qing to help us find a way to resolve karma and cause and effect," said the Phoenix Ancestor without reservation.

Zu Long clenched his fists: "Fellow Daoist Di Qing, over the years, we have tried to find a solution ourselves. Unfortunately, karma and cause and effect interfere with us at all times, making it difficult for us to find one even if we want to."

"The only thing we know is to seek merit to wash away the karma and karmic consequences on our bodies. But the process of our creation as birds and scaled creatures has created too much killing and too much karma. It is simply not something that a little merit can wash away."

"Unless we have to fight two or three more great battles against demons, we won't be able to accumulate enough merit to cleanse our karma and cause and effect. But in the current prehistoric world, that's simply impossible."

"Therefore, we have no choice but to seek help from Fellow Daoist Di Qing. With Fellow Daoist Di Qing's wisdom, he will surely be able to create a method to resolve cause and effect and karma."

The sincere Ancestral Dragon and the yearning Phoenix Ancestor both looked at Di Qing with genuine sincerity, hoping to receive Di Qing's help.

Di Qing was somewhat surprised by the earnest request from the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor. As two overlords who had dominated the prehistoric world, they had actually come to him for help. In the past, he probably wouldn't have dared to even imagine such a thing. However, after hearing their lament about the helplessness they felt bound by karma and cause and effect, Di Qing could understand.

Even with understanding, a sense of melancholy is hard to ignore. Even powerful beings like the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor were helpless against the torment of cause and effect and karma. If this were any other cultivator, they would likely be even more helpless.

Di Qing felt a growing heaviness in his heart and couldn't help but look up at the sky, his mind filled with doubt. Under that doubt, Di Qing immediately took out the Jade Disc of Creation and the Temple of Wisdom, enveloping the entire Immortal City of Creation.

Zu Long sensed that Di Qing had inexplicably taken out the Jade Disc of Creation and the Temple of Wisdom, and asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Di Qing, why did you take out these two supreme treasures? Could it be...?"

"Fellow Daoists, don't panic. I took out these two supreme treasures to conceal the heavens and prevent others from spying on us," Di Qing explained, pointing to the sky. He continued, "Don't you two feel like you've been tricked?"

Zu Long wasn't stupid. Hearing Di Qing's words, he couldn't help but look up at the heavens: "The Heavenly Dao! Fellow Daoist Di Qing, do you mean we've been tricked by the Heavenly Dao!"

"Yes, it's the Heavenly Dao! Speaking of which, before the conflict between the Dao and the Demon, did you know about or understand this mysterious existence called the Heavenly Dao?"

"We have never known or understood it. To be honest, we have come from the era of myriad races to the present day, fighting and battling with countless cultivators. We have never heard of the existence of the Heavenly Dao in the primordial world. It was only after the first war between the three races that we vaguely learned about the concept of the Heavenly Dao. But at that time, the Heavenly Dao was hidden and had never appeared, let alone been seen. We all doubted whether the Heavenly Dao really existed."

"Fellow Daoist Zulong is right. In the past, we had never seen the Heavenly Dao, nor did we have any understanding or knowledge of it. But who knew that after the conflict between the Dao and the Demon, the Heavenly Dao suddenly appeared and then unleashed a vast amount of karma and cause and effect. This feeling is really as if the Heavenly Dao is plotting against us from behind. But what exactly is the Heavenly Dao, and how can it evolve such a vast amount of karma and cause and effect? ​​It clearly didn't exist before."

"If we had known beforehand that excessive killing would affect the primordial world and bring about karma and consequences! If we had known that karma and consequences could affect our path to enlightenment and cultivation, then we wouldn't have acted recklessly!"

"That's the problem. There was no Heavenly Dao before, but now it has suddenly appeared, along with karma and cause and effect. No matter how you look at it, it's strange. So I'm very skeptical and unhappy about the existence of the Heavenly Dao. That's one of the reasons why I directly cursed the Heavenly Dao back then. I really wanted to force out the Heavenly Dao and see what kind of existence it was."

"Fellow Daoist Di Qing is right. In fact, over the years, we have also wondered if we have been tricked by the Heavenly Dao! But after thinking it over, there are only two answers. If the Heavenly Dao is truly the mastermind, then this Heavenly Dao is definitely a more terrifying existence than Luo Lian. If the Heavenly Dao is not the mastermind, then what is its purpose in doing all this?"

Both the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor were filled with doubt when this inexplicably appearing Heavenly Dao was mentioned. In the past, the concept of Heavenly Dao did not exist in the primordial world, but now it had suddenly appeared.

They all approached the Heavenly Dao with caution. Although they knew of its existence, they did not know what it was, what form it took, or where it was located. Therefore, they could not find it to cause trouble for the Heavenly Dao.

The Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor had little concept of the Heavenly Dao, but Emperor Qing, who possessed memories of the future, knew a great deal about it. To put it bluntly, the Heavenly Dao was the ruler of the primordial world after the conflict between the Dao and the Demon.

Although after the conflict between Dao and Demon, Hongjun attained enlightenment, preached at Zixiao Palace, and then accepted disciples who became sages, it seems that Hongjun created the Xuanmen (mysterious sect) and became the ruler of the prehistoric world. However, one can imagine that Hongjun merged with the Heavenly Dao, becoming a kind of puppet of the Heavenly Dao. Consider the Three Pure Ones and other sages, who were all sages of the Heavenly Dao.

This shows that the premise for the Xuanmen's dominance over the prehistoric world was the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao was the key to ruling the prehistoric world.

Secondly, later generations have passed down the legend that the Heavenly Dao is ruthless. The Heavenly Dao is said to be the embodiment of the will of all living beings in the primordial world, the ruler of the primordial world, and was created for its continuation. But are these legends about the Heavenly Dao true?

Di Qing doubted the Heavenly Dao and held a pessimistic view of it. He had once angrily denounced the Heavenly Dao, hoping to force it to reveal its true nature. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao seemed to be a cowardly, stagnant entity that never actually appeared.

After being reminded by Di Qing, the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor looked at each other and could see the heaviness in each other's hearts.

"Fellow Daoist Di Qing, what exactly is the Heavenly Dao...?" Zu Long grew increasingly somber.

Di Qing's eyes flickered: "Why don't we test it out? If all of this is a scheme by the Heavenly Dao, then the Heavenly Dao has sent down karma and consequences upon you, causing you to suffer greatly. The Heavenly Dao must have its own purpose, but what that purpose is, we do not yet know."

"However, we can wait for the Heavenly Dao to reveal its purpose. Then, through that purpose, we can see what the Heavenly Dao truly intends to do!"

Zu Long nodded, understanding Di Qing's meaning: "What Fellow Daoist Di Qing means is that we maintain this state of being entangled by karma and cause and effect, and then see what the Heavenly Dao ultimately intends to do."

"That's right, let's just wait like this. If Heaven doesn't make any move, then our guesses are all false. If it really does, then we'll see what Heaven does, and we'll remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Of course, during this waiting process, I will also try my best to find a way to resolve cause and effect and karma." Di Qing was also extremely sincere.

"Alright! We'll do as Fellow Daoist Di Qing says!" Phoenix Ancestor agreed without hesitation.

The First Emperor felt the same way: "I also want to see what the purpose of this Heavenly Dao is."

Having said this, both the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor took their leave. They were to return to their own clans to continue to be entangled in karma and cause and effect, and then test the Heavenly Dao.

……

The Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor left just like that, and the remaining Emperor Qing also retrieved the Jade Disc of Creation and the Temple of Wisdom.

Both of these innate treasures originated from the Father God Pangu. Within the Buzhou Land, they can merge with the aura of Buzhou Land, absolutely capable of concealing the secrets of heaven.

After mentioning the two supreme treasures, Di Qing looked at Nuwa, who seemed somewhat dazed and lost in thought, and with a flick of his sleeve, instantly restored her to her senses: "Nuwa, I was dealing with some secrets earlier that I couldn't let you know. So I sealed your divine sense. I apologize for that..."

"It's alright, my cultivation level isn't high, and I don't want to know too much!" Nuwa shook her head repeatedly; she knew how to keep her distance.

Di Qing smiled and nodded, then with a flick of his finger, countless insights into the Great Dao of Creation flooded into Nuwa's mind: "These are my insights into the Great Dao of Creation, and now I am passing them on to you. Study them carefully, and with the Three Methods of Severing the Dao, you will surely achieve a half-step Primordial Chaos in the future."

Nuwa's mind was instantly filled with countless insights into the Great Dao of Creation, leaving her feeling dizzy and lightheaded. She looked at Di Qing with a shy expression and said, "Thank you so much, Clan Chief!"

Di Qing didn't say much; with just one step, he disappeared from sight.

Although Di Qing had a special feeling for Nuwa because she was the Holy Mother of the Human Race, now that Di Qing had come to the prehistoric world, he had grown extremely fast and his strength and cultivation far surpassed Nuwa's, so that special feeling inevitably changed somewhat.

After leaving the Immortal City of Creation, Di Qing quickly returned to the core of Buzhou Land and continued his seclusion.

This retreat is not for cultivation, but for creating a new method.

Although he had ordered the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor to test the Heavenly Dao, Emperor Qing couldn't just stand by and watch. He had to create a method to address cause and effect and karma. Of course, Emperor Qing already had a plan in mind for how to deal with the Ancestral Dragon and the Phoenix Ancestor in washing away their cause and effect and karma.
